This is a man who will let me go gallivanting while he takes care of the kids and house, will tell people what they don't want to but really need to hear in a gracious way, gets up early in winter to build me a fire every morning, and is pretty much always optimistic. Oh-and he does standing back flips too. That's what I call bad to the bone in everyday life.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969357513275063157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-75848970559944524252009-05-22T01:33:25.430+10:002009-05-22T01:33:25.430+10:00The drill in the skull just gives me the ebbie jeb...The drill in the skull just gives me the ebbie jebbies. Let's hope that that doesn't like become a regular medical practice. <br /><br />Years ago, my mom saw a motorcycle accident happen, literally like right in front of her eyes, and the guy was bleeding very badly and without hesitation she administered CPR. The EMT's couldn't believe it. She's seriously bad to the bone.Crystal Keilers, that's me.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11259348270961318431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-27445544661542724232009-05-22T01:30:26.588+10:002009-05-22T01:30:26.588+10:00I am ashamed of not having also listed as "bad to ...I am ashamed of not having also listed as "bad to the bone" the defiant Americans on Flight 93 who chose death on their own terms rather than being slaughtered by terrorists for their ends.Camp Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918758148818443535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-15883140563848295202009-05-21T10:38:53.387+10:002009-05-21T10:38:53.387+10:00Gory is not the point, Rosemary! ;)

(buzz-kill, uh?)<br /><br />After that, I'd suggest Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer. His exploits are too lengthly to lay out here, but I'd recommend his Wikipedia article.Camp Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918758148818443535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-37463018207712352642009-05-21T09:16:28.308+10:002009-05-21T09:16:28.308+10:00Mom took mine--the hiker who cut off his hand.

I remember hearing that he is leading backcountry tours now.<br /><br />But if I can't pick him, I'll second Michele R's. I saw Sully on Larry King, and heard the tapes of him talking to the air traffic controllers, and wow. Badass.<br /><br />Oh, and I think my husband is the world's baddest mo'.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-737142061879468972009-05-21T00:07:27.387+10:002009-05-21T00:07:27.387+10:00I just saw the story of the doctor drilling the bo...I just saw the story of the doctor drilling the boy's head on MSNBC this morning. Incredible ! Now, I have one for you that is truly "bad to the bone." In 2003 a young man named Aron Ralston was hiking in the canyon country of Utah. His arm got trapped by an 800 pound boulder while he was in a narrow deep canyon-impossible to be seen from above. He was trapped for five days, filmed his death message to his parents, and then cut off his right arm at the elbow with a pocket knife. He then climbed 65 feet straight up the canyon wall and walked miles in the desert where he found a family out sightseeing.He is alive today.delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-58504082475984931822009-05-20T23:38:56.853+10:002009-05-20T23:38:56.853+10:00Good stuff!
