I don't have a clue how my son got to be an iron worker - definately not from me - I'm afraid to go up a ladder ! LOL Right now , He's working on a new power plant in Oak Creek,Wi -- he sent me this view that he sees everyday from his camera phone ... over looking Lake Michigan . It's awesome. Then he sent me this one -- the monkey is hanging 10 stories up -- & -- smiling ! Ok-- this is the worst ...... Here he is ( well - his foot is ) over 200 feet up -- without anything around. No Wonder I have gray hair ... thinking of him up this high !I definately have a new respect for people that do this . ME ? -- I'm happy looking up at them with a cooler of beer next to me ~~ LOLOLLL ******* From Moms everywhere --- TIE OFF DARN IT !!! ----

Reply:As an Ironworker myself, when people ask me if I'm afraid of dying from a fall I always tell them that I will never die from a fall although I might from the sudden stop!
