I must admit, I have a high tolerance for pain, but that comes from years of clumsimess, hence self inflicted pain. I don't need more things around me that I can hurt myself with. Its just asking for trouble. Why, just today, I fell flat on my face at work because, as I was uncrossing my legs getting off my stool, the heel of my left stilletto caught the lip of my right foot and to avoid poking a hole through my foot by stepping down I decided to fall. Since my feet were basically stuck on oneanother and I had something in my hands I fell flat on my face. 10 minutes later I knocked a glass of water all over my counter, and a couple of weeks ago I hit my head on a metal corner hard enough to give me head ache for 2 days. I have been to the emergency room twice since late february. I am constanly covered with bruises and scrapes, so a pet that could really hurt me is not an option. hahaha
