DANGER:- stamp collecting

today I got a paper cut off a stamp, has anyone else had a nasty experience whilst Philatelising?

 

no paper cuts....but I've had`lack of sleep over the years

I think the pain is worth it!!

 

No paper cuts here.

 

I agree with Sam B, lack of sleep, no paper cuts YET.

 

I once swallowed a stamp hinge and the tension of waiting for it to 'pass' was an experience I never want to live through again. I emerged from it a sad and wiser man

 

only too recently, my opinion was not considered valid

 

I heard about the woman who swallowed her tongs and they remained lodged in her stomach for 25 years, she only recently had them removed at the age of 74!!!!

 

I was Philatelising once and remembered I had forgotten to wash my hair. So I washed it and wrapped it in a towel to finish my stamp studies. It dried all frizzy!!!!
Never again.

 

tragic

 

If it was a mount I'd be really worried but a hinge would pass no prob. LOL

 

you could pass a steel hinge!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

the danger of not completing the set before death creeps up on you

 

I had already read about that article/news online but I am not aware that she was a Philatelist.
Never got paper cut from it yet. Just lost some working time for it. Lol

 

Es hängt davon ab, wie viel jemand mag Ihre Sammlung [lacht]

 

in debate yes [big smile]

 

Warum macht es das gefährlich?

 

The number of stamp related injuries I have had to treat you would not believe it???

 

And before anyone asks, what about postman dog bites????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[laughing!!!!]

 

laughing whilst sorting, sure you could inhale a stamp and get it stuck in your tracia
