Oh no, I wouldn't have thought of that either! I suppose you could very carefully break the jar from around it?

My silly thing: When bringing in my houseplants and arranging them in their winter quarters, I put the coffee plant which needs almost daily watering, all the way in the back. Noticed yesterday that it was soooo wilted -- hopefully a lot of water and a move to an easier to access location will save it!

If you aren't concerned about the jar, wrap it in something plastic or paper (to collect shards) then a towel and smack it with your hammer. You'll have your plant free ;)

I wish I could think of something silly that would make people laugh but other than my daily going outside to scold deer, then having them come to me rather than leave, I can't really think of anything. I need to lighten up, may be becoming too predictable....

Nickel, good for you for growing a coffee plant. I bought one from the nursery once because the leaves were so shiny and it was very attractive. It didn't do well for me, even though my other plants were thriving.

Deer?? Oh, you've got some great pets there Morz! :-)

Silly? Or stupid? I recently bought a small tire inflator that plugs into the power outlet in the car dashboard, and after testing it out, I absentmindedly left the keys in the ignition, forgot about it for several hours and killed my battery, so I had to go buy a new one - on a Sunday. Thank goodness Auto Zone is open on Sundays and installs their batteries on-site. Also thank goodness my son loaned me his awesome battery jumper device so I could get there.

I once tried to poke a hole in the bottom of a large yoghurt container. I held it by the open end, hand totally covering it. I took a sharp pointy knife to make the hole. The plastic gave way and the knife popped through the bottom, into my hand, through the fleshy part where my thumb was and out the other side of my hand.

I went to emergency. My husband wasn’t home at the time but when he did get home there was blood all over the kitchen.

He was a little panicked when he found out that I had been admitted to the hospital with a stab wound!

LOL I just add it to my ’street cred’.

Nobody has to know the details.

Roxsol, a friend of ours once wanted to drill a hole in a piece of driftwood. He was holding it in his hand. He heard the little voice in his head that said "you're going to drill through your hand. " He ignored the little voice. Yup.

Roxsol, a friend as a teenager held what it was he wanted to slice with the knife held vertically, and the item at the tip of the blade. He almost sliced his thumb off.

Ooh, jasdip. My youngest sister sliced the top joint off of her middle finger. She was cutting the grass with a gas mower and it became clogged and suddenly stopped. She reached under the cutting deck to dislodge the grass, the blades started turning and there went the top of her finger.

The first responders, when she called for help, was the fire department. The nice young firefighters that answered the call retrieved the end of her finger from the lawn, put it on ice and drove her to the hospital.

She got a nice ride in the front seat of the fire engine. The doctors could do nothing with the severed joint.

Oww Oww Ouch! All those cutting injury stories! My poor coffee plant would commiserate -- it's lost 2 big leaves so far, a couple more look in sad shape. But it'll live.

When I unpacked my christmas linens one of my napkins had a grease stain on it. I put all the napkins in a bucket of hot water with dawn to soak. Then I dump the whole bucket in my HE washer. Yep, bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles.

It’s almost funny when the better plan is there in your head but stuck behind the dumb second grade kid waving his hand in the air and jumping up to be recognized by the teacher. You know what‘s gonna happen but you move forward anyway.

You mean silly like slamming your thumb in the freezer door trying to get a Trader Joes Kringle in.

no

With my tremor, everyday I do something silly! Yesterday, I was draining the grease off of some meat, and my hand started shaking, and half of the meat ended on the floor...I need a dog just to clean up my messes!

While installing a new toilet flapper, I attached the flapper, then struggled to get the (taught) chain attached. Starting with the chain...much easier.
