The Danger of Mardi Gras beads.....

[Zardoz]

OK, last Saturday we went to the same Mardi Gras party I mentioned above, (this years theme was 1940's USO) and my wife's bead addiction reached a new low....She went with a friend to the ladies room to help said friend with her costume. When the 'bead music' came on, she promtly abandoned our friend and ran out with friend's purse still on her shoulder.  Our friend didn't know were the purse went, so we spent 20 mins looking for my wife and the and the purse in this melee;

LOTS of people do terrible things to debase themselves for little bits of plastic. What goes through your mind when I use the term "credit card"?

You'd have to pay for the privilage to know LOLOL!

Do accept beads as payment?   

[Blue66669]

Why YES! Yes, I do! I also accept Tiffany charms and jewelry, precious stones from around the world, and in some extreme cases, shiny bits of tin foil.

Who would think little shiny balls of plastic could be so dangerous?
My sister had a string of bead in her mouth once that were accidentally caught and launched one of her teeth from her mouth.
They disappeared from our household for a very,very longtime after that lol.
Hu. Maybe bead twirling at warp speed is how they invented the bedazzler...

Note to self- ditch the barbarian idea and go with full plate this year, including a full-face bascinet...
