Warning! Pins and needles in your mouth
#1
I brought this up on another thread and thought I would post it again. This topic may have been discussed before...if so, I missed it.
About 15 years ago I was making a costume for my DD, my pincushion wasn't handy and as I removed the straight pins while I was sewing a seam I put the pins between my lip. I know we have all done this! Well -- I sneezed -- the pins went into my mouth and throat and I totally freaked out! I couldn't breath very well and I was home alone. Thankfully I got them out by myself with my fingers and tweezers. It really hurt and scared the you-know-what out of me. I have never put pins or needles in my mouth since. Please don't it -- I think I was lucky they didn't go further down my throat.

I used to do this!
but solved the problem
A few years ago I got bifocals, well I cant find my mouth with them on!! LOL I have to take off my glasses to eat!
a friend of mine has the same problem and his wife is always yelling at him to not forget his glasses when we leave a restaurant.
the first time I tried to stick a pin in my mouth (after the bifocals) I stuck my lip and bleed like a stuck pig!!
never again!

I think I had an instinctual fear of swallowing a pin. I now have a habit of sticking pins in the front of my shirt/dress if I am not near the pin dish. Yes, I ocassionally forget to remove them & stick myself later.
