I went to Publix early this morning, they just put out 2 big bins of pumpkins, one bin was full of those beautiful Heirloom pumpkins, These bins come up to my chin (I'm only 5'), I got on my tiptoes and spied a huge 30lb. pumpkin at the bottom, no one was around to help me so I thought I would balance my torso on the rim of the bin and reach in and get it - well I fell in. Turned out ok, I was able to lift the big pumpkin and put it on the regular pumpkins in the next bin then I crawled out. I can't believe I did it but I was so determined to get that big pumpkin I guess my adrenaline took over. When I got home I could not lift the pumpkin out of the trunk so WKD had to get it, he couldn't believe I was able to lift it in the first place. I'm addicted to pumpkins but not to eat.

Brings to mind that bit by the Smothers Brothers where Tommy fell in a vat of chocolate.

I laughed when I read the title, wickedkittiesmom  and then I felt badly. You could have been hurt. I cannot believe you were able to get the pumpkin. that was adrenaline! be careful! you could have ended up looking like this  |

Yipe, be careful.
Was thinking about buying a giant pumpkin at Costco for $6. I may even buy the horrible candy and hand it out this year.

Somewhat related: up at my local Lowe's store there's a small dumpster out near the lumber & landscaping entrance. I sometimes go over and check this dumpster because often they toss good pieces of cut-off wood in there that are still usable. Even small scraps are at least good for kindling or firewood. The other day I checked the dumpster, noted some nice pieces of wood sitting down there, but... somebody had also tossed some broken pumpkins in there, atop the wood in question. Flies were circling. Ehh, I decided to skip it.
