Today I was wearing khaki's and brushed up against my car. I was opening the car door while brushing off the road dirt and the top corner of my car door found my forehead, about the same spot...looks like I got into a brawl I feel for you.

I think this might help for next time. I have developed a proximity sensor appliance that plugs into the iPhone, with an App which sounds a loud warning and vibrates the phone when you get too close to an object, while you are tweeting, texting or just daydreaming. You can set the distance and the object type such as metal poles, or creepy people. If I ever get a working unit, I'll be sure to send you one to try out for us the next time you go to the hardware store. Have a Terrific, and Bumpless day. Sorry to hear about your incident Cali.

This is not the place for a pharmaceutical debate, I am sorry to have mentioned the drug… However, as a doctor and a scientist I know that there is a lot of misunderstandings in this matter. Metamizole risk is highly exagerated. Every drug carries its risk, as does ibobrufen, paracetamol and aspirin. I also suggest some technical reading http://bit.ly/ZPsoc. To Dave.

With your platform on the Internet you could make a lot of trouble for the company and they'd probably write you a nice handsome check to avoid the bad publicity. You make your living with your face, so the damage is not only painful but could inhibit your ability to earn a living. Hmm - - One has to wonder just how many people run into poles every day around the country. I think you may even have grounds for a class action suit against the hardware store industry, and perhaps the pole manufacturers. I can just smell the money. On the other hand, you could chalk it up to a silly mistake and watch where you're walking next time.
