SAN ANTONIO -- The images were so dramatic, even experienced emergency room doctors were shocked at the sight.

The computerized tomography scan images revealed a steel hook impaled in a man's left temple and through his right eye. The hook came within millimeters of striking Gail Creek in the brain while he was taking a bucket off a backhoe in December. The bucket turned over, hitting Creek in the face, followed by the hook.

Two months after the accident, Creek knows it's a miracle he's alive.

Although the hook severed both his optic nerves, leaving him blind, Creek has not lost hope that his remaining senses will help him relearn simple tasks, like how to walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"They've done a real good job at getting me ready," Creek said of the University Hospital physical therapists who are teaching him new tasks.

Creek admits physical therapy is tough, but having his wife, Barbara, makes all the difference for him.

"I couldn't do without her," Creek said.

That is a picture you would do well to commit to memory mb. And remember, it is not our only option.

I think it is I who gazes lovingly at the words Hide and Ban mb. Your hour will no doubt come, but in the meantime may I suggest caution and humility in equal proportions?

LOL to Wimby. Millerbull shut up. Get angry you big control freak. I think you're in the wrong forum to be messing with ninjas just round and about like that.

Hey , Sammy , do not disrepect MB. Besides, we all get to play straight man now and then and it's much more difficult than playing the fool. Don't you think ?

I wasn't disrespecting anyone. I was just simply pointing out that it is not cool to insult Wimby, especially when he is the room moderator. The same would apply if anyone was insulting you. This is not Millerbull's room, it is everyone's. He shouldn't be telling Wimby that he's gonna get angry at him. And if he does, what next? Sounds like a threat to me. I was just pointing that out, instead of making up some bullshit story about the scenario and running to the DEVS. I am beginning nothing, and am leaving it at this.

sk - what goes on between mb and myself is not your concern. Please do not bring your personal issues with you when you visit.
Another thing to remember is that I am a guest moderator only. It would not be wise to irritate the forum owner.

Relax , Sam. I understand what you're saying and you have a point. It is just the way you said it that makes all the difference. Aside from that, I want you to have some fun here instead of worrying about Mb's behavior. Wimbledon can handle it . I hope you're not mad at me now. Are you ?

SWMBO has spoken. Cower in her presence. Raise her underpants up the flagpole and salute them.
