Why do I always choose the shopping cart with the squeaky wheel? Is it my bad luck, or are all the carts dysfunctional? Rachel Nichols
This afternoon, I was doing some grocery shopping. As I leaned over to get peanut butter, my grocery cart jammed into my abdomen. This led to me crashing back against the metal shelves which caused all the cans to hit the floor and my arms to get scraped on my way to thee floor. I hit the floor with my head and my hip. My foot was twisted as well.
An elderly lady was taking the corner of the aisle at high speed on her motorized metal grocery cart and hit me dead on. This caused quite the commotion. After I realized that I was OK, several men helped me off the floor. The elderly woman was crying and I was afraid for her since she did not appear well. So I gave her a hug and told her I was perfectly fine.
Well, I lied, a little. I just wanted to get home. I am quite sore and my head is hurting. I wrote about 60 % of the post and found I couldn’t concentrate due to a headache.
Until tomorrow!

oh, dee, so sorry! these things are so painful. i’m glad you’re ok — but i’m sure very sore. thank you for being so faithful with your blog and all us readers. you and deb are truly appreciated very much.
your story brings to mind that everybody lies, now and then (even neo-calvinists… even Robert), in a variety of complex moments & for a variety of selfless reasons.
…and GO MEN! how great that their instant & automatic reaction was to simply help you. they do me proud. indeed, being human is something to be proud of. that’s my deep conviction, that makes me very happy.

Take care, Dee! I’m in Nagasaki today and visited the museum of 26 Martyrs, men and teens who were crucified on a hill near my hotel in 1597. I’m on my way to Unzen, where there’s a volcanic national park and, our guide told us, Christians were tortured at the hot springs and various other volcanic features in the region.
Japan is an amazing place!

It was chunky peanut butter.

I’m sure Piper will be tweeting real soon that a MAN should have been driving that motorized scooter instead of a woman. That elderly woman ran into you because she was rebellious and not under the proper ‘authority’ of a man, so she is not only damaging the ‘gospel’ but your chunky peanut butter as well! š

FW Rez,
Southeastern Evangelical Seminary seems to have been on a downward spiral. They recently sold their campus because of a cash crunch. I see Patterson’s presense as a “Hail Mary” to raise visibility and $$$.

I hope you’re enjoying your stay! I’ve never been to Nagasaki, although I’d love to see lots of places in Kyushu. Don’t know what your itinerary is, but if it takes you near Niigata, I’d love to meet you in person.
The Deebs can let you know what my e-mail address is, if you want to get in touch off the message board. Have a great visit!

Wartburgers must understand that this did not happen because of purposeless predestination nor because the elderly driver was not under appropriate male authority.
In fact, God was lashing out in anger at homosexuality. Normally, of course, these holy tantra result in multiple deaths, to teach us things. We must be grateful that this one did not.

Oh Dee! I’m so glad you’re okay, & I feel bad for laughing. I hope the driver is okay too.
If it makes you feel any better I punched myself in the face the other day, when I was in bed & whacked an uncomfortable pillow to make it change shape, & my fist kept travelling & my thumbnail snagged on my eyelid meaning I woke up to crescent shaped cut under my eyebrow & had to explain that to several youth clubs full of young people.

Oh, my goodness! Rest and recover. I’m sure the speeding driver feels terrible. We’ll look for an update on your condition when you’re up to posting, and pray for you in the meantime.
The resemblance to the goofy Christmas song (that someone referenced above) was my first reaction to the title. I’ve had my own narrow escape from a motorized cart that the driver suddenly threw into reverse without looking or realizing I was in the direct path. Two other customers were very amused, watching me do the squirrel scramble this way and that, while I tried to decide whether to abandon my cart or try to save it along with myself. (I saved both, whew)
While a painful episode in real life, it has possibilities for an amusing movie scene. Nightmare in the Grocery Store. Attack of the Motorized Grocery Cart. Need for Speed, Grocery Edition. The Little Grocery Cart Around the Corner.
