You went almost as high as the Space Shuttle, didn't you?

One time I was replacing one of the wall outlets (120 volts) in my
living room.I didn't turn off the electric power to my living room
because I didn't think I would get shocked.

Never grab two hot wires at the same time while holding pliers in each
hand.You can't let go of them.My body tripped the circuit.I am glad it
wasen't 240 volts I was messing with.

Never grab three hot wires with pliers in each hand and the wire
strippers in your mouth while you're taking a quick shower during a
lightning storm. I had to fall away, taking out two bottles of shampoo,
one hair conditioner, a bar of Ivory soap, the shower curtains and four
yellow rubber duckies.

...and you try telling that to the kids these days, well..they just don't
believe you.


I was saved by landing on a recent purchase of bulk toilet paper. The
stuff's a bargain. It has all sorts of petroleum distillate enhanced
scents in it. Those Chinese are sure clever in enhancing their exports.

You just never know WHAT they'll include at no extra cost.

Glad to hear you are OK.

But, whatever prompted you to "stick the end of an un-insinuated wire
into a hot 220vAC wire"?

Over 33 years as a telephone man...

What company? What was your job?

Glad to hear you are OK.

Thanks but it's going to take sometime on my knee.

Just ain't to smart. Wife even told me to watch that wire it maybe hot, it
was!!

Got my education from SWB in Dallas then owned my own consulting company all
over the world and a EPBX, LAN and sound systems east of LA.

I started as a Maintenance Lineman worked my way up to a walking PBX man in
Dallas, five years.

I hit three flowerpots, and a tree on the way down then landed on a
cement border around the tree.



I'm OK, sore cut up a little but alive. The juice went in my left hand and
out my left knee so it didn't cross my heart or other organs (or pianos) on
the way out. Left hand hurts and left knee is swollen and very sore.

I could feel each cycle of the AC as it went threw me and I could not
open my hand. A smaller or person who was not in as good a shape as I am
would have fried their heart. 5 minutes after the stock/fall my BP was
132/62 with a pulse of 65, that's high for me but I'll take it.

I have had many friends do the same thing and die. Over 33 years as a
telephone man I lose a lot of friends to doing the wrong thing at the wrong
time and today it was me BUT, I'm OK.



So Mote It Be





You were lucky, I knew a guy who died from grabbing the wrong wire.

I have three I remember, the first was when I touched the chassis of my
record player I had when I was 4 or so with one hand, while holding onto
a drill (I was using power tools at a very young age since my dad was
useless when dealing with that stuff) and got zapped really good. I felt
bad for a while, and had a slight burn on my hand where the juice passed
into and out of the drill.

The second, and worst one was in my CB days and I had my linear opened
up and was grabbing my D-104 with my left hand, while using a
screwdriver to make adjustments on the linear when it was keyed up. I
had my index finger touching the shaft, and the next thing I know, I was
flying through the closet door, about 10 feet away. A friend of mine was
talking to me when it happened, and he heard a "ZZZZZZZZZZZT!", and I
was gone for a while. Luckily, I just had the mike loosely plugged in,
so it just popped out when I flew. I think the closet door hurt me worse
than the shock.

The third time was about 20 years ago, I was working on a friend's old
Hallicrafters SW receiver, replacing a lot of rotten caps. I knew
better, but I put my hand on the front panel to turn the radio, and
touched the HV side, and really got zapped good. My hand got cooked a
little, and I actually felt bad enough to go to the ER. By the time they
got me in, I was feeling fine, so it was a waste of a couple hundred
bucks it cost me for the visit.

I wish I had your BP.

Thanks for the story of getting zapped. I really get intrigued by our shared
experiences.

Merits of Islam in the Relationship Between Men &Women
I am happy to be a member of this group and I consider you my friends.
As a friend , I like to share with you some thoughts that I believe
will be useful for your life.

Merits of Islam in the Relationship Between Men &Women

1- Islam encourages marriage to prevent committing adultery, and
considers marriage to be one of the ways of the Messengers;The
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “O
young people, whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do
so, for it helps one to lower the gaze and protect the private parts
(i.e., remain chaste). Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it
is a protection for him.” 2- If a man wants to get married but is
unable to spend on a wife, then he should adhere to the words of Allah.
24:33 “And let those who find not the financial means for marriage
keep themselves chaste, until Allâh enriches them of His Bounty”
3- Islam urges people to get married, and prohibits celibacy and
castration. It is forbidden to forego getting married even if the
intention is to devote oneself to worship. “There is no monasticism in
Islam.” because they are against his nature, and against having
children.

4- Islam forbids adultery for the sake of reserving lineages, and to
prevent unlawful pregnancies and social problems.17: 32. And come not
near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fâhishah
[i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an
evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allâh forgives him).

5- Islam forbids accusing others of adultery and considers it a great
sin. 24: 15. When you were propagating it with your tongues, and
uttering with your mouths that whereof you had no knowledge, you
counted it a little thing, while with Allâh it was very great.

6- Islam prohibits a man to be alone with a woman who is not a
relative he can’t marry, because that causes temptation to do immoral
and evil actions. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said: “No man is alone with a (non-mahram) woman but the Satan is
the third one present.”

7- Islam forbids unlawful sexual relationships and marrying a woman
not chaste.5: 5. Made lawful to you this day are AtTayyibât [all kinds
of Halâl (lawful) foods, which Allâh has made lawful (meat of
slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and
fruits, etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of
the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and
yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women
from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time.
