**No toothpick for MsWhatsit!** I’ve always been quite relaxed (make that drunk) when I’ve fallen the hardest, hence avoiding bone breaking experiences. ---

I’m going to be gone for a bit as well, so I’ll get my answer in before I go: \*\*MsWhatsit gets no toothpick from me! \*\*I’ve pulled, strained, sprained and torn more ligaments and tendons than you’d believe, but never broken a bone. I’ll let everyone check in before I post the next this afternoon. ---

\*\*Breaks toothpick before handing it to MsWhatsit \*\* P.S. It will be a lot less confusing if we have to go a bit out of order if everybody includes the user name and action they’re referring to in their post of giving or selfishness. ---

**MsWhatsit** , you were fine in starting…everyone had pretty much checked in. **Agent Foxtrot** - If you don’t check in soon I’m going to have to cut you. **WhyNot** , you should be fine to go ahead and post your statement this afternoon. **RoOsh** , you will be up next after WhyNot. ---

Yay! **I finally get to keep a toothpick!** I seem to be much more prone to soft tissue damage. I’ve had the last knuckle of my right ring finger at almost a 90 degree angle, but it didn’t technically break. ---

**I give my toothpick** Kindergarten. I insist I was pushed off that bunk bed. (er, that is, the babysitter’s girls and I used to jump off the top bunkbed onto a pile of blankets. There were no blankets that time.) ---

**I have never broken a bone** , or at least, I don’t think I have. I have had a few seemingly minor injuries that took a surprisingly long time to heal, including one that didn’t heal quite right, which in hindsight may have invloved some bone damage. But I’ve never had a bone that was noticably off, or that required medical intervention.
