yeah. Because if you if Yeah. If you admit that the thing that people did to you hurts

you, they win. Okay?

I've lived my whole life -- Mhmm. -- from accident until now. Not letting people know when what they did hurt hurt me. Because because if you let them know, the bully wins. The second you start crying when the bully says the mean thing, The second you start crying, when somebody comes up and pushes you and pushes you out a window and you fall and you break your leg in 3 places. The second you let them know that

but the accident was Guardian, I'm trying to tip your hair.

Thank you. So

we we know more people here than I thought. You gotta tip your head, Deborah, on the walks back. Here we go.

Yeah. It's like everybody in town is here. I mean, it kinda looks a little bit like cowboy in

here. So it's familiar. Real quick to go back. It does look like cow boy hands. I'm seeing a couple of gas cans, must have a similar promotion going on. Real quick. The accident wasn't you breaking your leg. The accident was the doctor installing the hinges.

Well, I I would walk. I would call both of them accidents. 1 1 was sort of a, you know, came upon me

got both

of them on that 1. Got both of the hats on that 1. We

appreciate it. We do. We

appreciate it. Hey. I thought you missed a tip. Was just letting you know.

No. The original accident, obviously, where where my leg was broken, was frustrating. But then the the second 1II choose to not look at the second thing as an accident when when anymore.

When they when

they fixed my leg, they just made me they made me a superhero is what I like.

Yeah. It's not an accident. It's just, you know, we don't have the best insurance. So instead of using medical stuff, we had to go to the Pick n Pull

oh, and so it's just what they had there.

Yeah.

We got a you know, instead of a new kneecap, we had to install a piston. Pisted -- Whoa. -- crassler.

Okay. Well, that explains the spring, and you, you know, you're added a little bit of a -- Mhmm. -- some tone.

Can I ask you Angel and I have not been able to figure out, you know, for line dancing to show off that spring Where have y'all been going since cowboy hats you since you burned it down? Where what do
