Oh My Did The other Fellow have a black eye too?

Well, now I don't feel so bad about the ketchup falling on my head! And I didn't get a black eye out of it either - by some sort of mircle!

Never had a black eye for any reason. It sure does sound like your computer won this round though. Are you going to type with boxing gloves from now on?

Hi Sweetie I hope the eye is better 3 years ago I got a bad one I was about to take something out of the Cupboard when I slipped and fell I caught my eye on the corner of the Door which was metal, I was actually very lucky as it just missed the Eye but oh goodness it was a mess I hope yours is much better now and please Sweet when you get tired GO TO BED Love to you

OMG, is the keyboard okay? (LOL) I’ve never had a black eye in my life, not even when I had surgery done to my nose to fix a deviated septum. I had to smile when I read your discussion Hatley, I don’t usually laugh at other’s misfortunes but it sounds so funny getting a black eye from your computer! Talk about these machines having a life of their own! I have fallen asleep on my laptop keyboard before but luckily for me I went down gently and just woke up an hour later with the keys indented on my forehead! All jokes aside I bet it really hurt! I hope it gets better in a hurry, you poor thing, that is what I call dedication! Take care of yourself, I would stick to working on the PC during the day if I were you or at least when you are not tired!

Haha! I never had a black eye, but I know what you felt with falling asleep while myLotting. I once fell asleep on the bed with my laptop on top of me, while trying to respond to a discussion. It took more than 6 hours, but I managed to submit my response for that particular question. The only 'silly' bruises that I can remember I got were from joining a fraternity. If I look back on it now, joining it was kind or silly, so I recall those black and blues I got as silly bruises.

So computers ARE hazardous to our health! Your injury must have hurt so much. Good you were able to laugh about it. I've had a number of black eyes over the years. The strange circumstance of one was that I was outside at a night time party. I heard my name and swung around - and that is when an empty swing a boy was pushing backwards and forewards hit me in the nose. Nose was broken and I had two wonderful black eyes. The unfortunate part was, this happened in a school break and I had to commence high school with two black eyes. Kids didn't mess with me! I have also caused a black eye in innocent circumstances. Vacuuming on a Christmas Eve when my youngest was two, I didn't hear him pad up behind me and my elbow caught him fair in the eye, poor kid. He and his brothers still like to remind me of how I gave the one son a black eye for Christmas.

Hi Hatley. Firstly I hope your eye and head are feeling better by now. You do go to extreme lengths to make the nurses laugh! No, I can't remember ever having a black eye. As a young person I used to faint a lot, and even fainted when going down some steps, but never once did I hurt myself in a faint. I guess you fall "loosely" or without resistance, so even though I am told I went down with a thud, it was a "soft" thud. Now, in my older years I bruise fairly easily, for no apparent reason (although I MUST have knocked myself) I haven't had a black eye.

How awkward it is to tell the nurse that you have dozed off while surfing the net. It is indeed a self inflicted accident which landed you with a black eye. I never experience such a funny incident of falling asleep while I am surfing. The glare on the screen is enough to call off my sleepiness.

I got a black eye from a car accident and one when a string on my guitar broke and hit me in the face--ouch!!. But even now when I hit myself in the face on a door jamb--yes, it really is done!--I don't bruise. I bruise everywhere else on my body and I swear I don't know where they come from, can't remember how I did it. How embarrassing for you! I'm sorry, but it's rather funny! I hope it doesn't hurt much.

I have a habit of running into things with my face or head...the floor...the edge of the couch...the cupboard door The freezer door. A tree branch. As a kid i was forever looking bruised and scrapped up. Maybe that comes with being a klutz...and a farm kid lots more stuff to get into. I'm sure there were times people wondered if i was abused because i was such a klutz. I've fallen off fences (and had the saddle fall on me from same said fence...my Advice to anyone DONT sit on the saddle on the fence if its not tied on!) I've slammed a door so hard the window fell out on my head (needless to say ive never slammed a door that hard again!)I've fallen down a dry well...I've been bucked off a horse...

I have a few times fallen asleep at my pc while playing my online games at pogo. but never had a mishap over it.just felt embarrassed for myself. my second husband had a habit of giving them to me. why i left his a$$ my mom got mad once when i was 12yrs and threw a magazine at me and then asked me where i got the black eye next morning. she and i both had a hard time believing it actually came from the mag. she never did that again

My oldest daughter had a fishing game - one of those "virtual ones" that is shaped like a fishing reel and you have to pull back on it when it vibrates to simulate that a fish is biting the line. She was really into playing that game and pulled too hard and hit herself in the eye with it, which gave her a black eye. She was in grade school at the time, so I was a little worried sending her to school the next morning with a black eye, but all was well. Just about the time that her black eye had almost healed, however, she decided that the first one was not enough, and she did exactly the same thing with the fishing game. This time, I went in and explained to the teacher exactly what happened, because I really was worried that I would have Child Protective Service showing up at my door. The teacher laughed about it, and it was alright. I was ready to get rid of that fishing game, but my daughter really liked it and begged for its salvation. I told my daughter that the fishing game was going in the garbage if it ever happened again, and fortunately she was more careful with it from then on.

Hello my friend AWWWW, You must have been really tired wow, sorry that happened to you, I have never had a black eye or anything close to this, my Daughter went out the other day and had a few drinks and feel off the bar stool and came home with a shiner I was so upset because she is really light looked like someone hit her, I also know she can't hold alchohol so I can see her falling off the stool. Try not to let that happen again my friend, you could really hurt yourself, even knock yourself out, be careful. Smoochesssss

Wow.... it sounds like you really needed some sleep! Mylot is great most of the time but when you get a black eye and gash from it then you know it is time to give it a rest! I know sometimes I should get off of the computer yet I find myself continuing to play and do other things on it! Hope you get better very soon! Happy Mylotting at more awake times!

Sorry for laughing, but I've done the same, only without injury. Playing with my daughter and niece when they were about 8. We were at a park running down a hill really fast. I saw a tree near the girls, spo I ran as fast as I could down the hill. Grabbed them just before they hit the tree, tossing them to the ground off to the side quickly. I in turn took the brunt of the tree hit. I actually broke 3 ribs. My niece said she doesn't wanna play with Unc Bob cause she got hurt. HAHAHA! As always, HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi Patsy. I saved this so I could respond and then let time get away from me. I'm going through my inbox now getting rid of whatever I don't need or still need to deal with. This was one of them. didn't realize how long it had been! The last time I had a black eye I was a kid. I got one from the kid across the street who threw a ball that hit me in the eye and another one from the dentist who was trying to hold me down to work on my tooth. I fought him, literally, tooth and nail, even with his nurse and my mother trying to hold me still. His thumb went into my eye and my mother never took me back to him. It was ten more years before I saw a dentist. But, my mother once got TWO black eyes, back before I moved back home to be here when she got really sick. She was sick to her stomach one night and went into the bathroom to throw up, picked up the toilet seat and as she was just beginning to let loose, the seat fell back down and hit her on the bridge of her nose. The next day, both eyes were black. She said the pain was unlike anything she'd ever felt prior to that. But, she saw people looking at her when she went to the pharmacy (despite her limited vision) and thought that they must have thought her husband must have hit her because how else would a woman in her late 70s or early 80s (can't recall which) get TWO black eyes! She laughed about it every time she told the story. So, you're not alone, Ms. Hatley. These things happen and they can be quite funny (AFTER the fact, of course).

Hi Hatley, "Ouch"!! oh you poor thing, I've done that before, falling asleep on my computer, but thakfull never had a black eye on it, you must have hit your head bad. I once had this telephone table that hangs on the wall with a mirror, well I bend down to pick something up and knocked my head on the edge of the table, gosh, I saw stars and there was a big lump on my head, so I told my friends that I head butted my hubby, hubby wasn't amused, lol! Tamara

LOL...poor Hatley! I hope you're feeling better and that it hasn't caused you much discomfort. Look at the bright side, at least the letters and characters on the keys aren't raised. Wouldn't look good to have a black eye and the mirror image of 'backspace' on your eyelid. The only time I've had a black eye was when I was little. When visiting relatives once, I had to sleep with my mother and her elbow hit me in the eye. She was horrified and probably spent time worrying that I'd tell some one where I got it, but not how...

Poor you; I bet that is really painful, Hatley. I once got a black eye from my first husband, who was prone to bad tempers. We were living in Singapore at the time and socialising with military families. He told everyone I had walked into a door. Very original.

Hello friend Sorry for the late response, sorry to hear this too, lol it seems you are working too much and you were over tired, this need to be stopped, better move in the room every 20 minutes and sip coffee, tea of your choice, if you can get herbal tea it is wonderful Thanks for sharing, take care Happy easter Prof
