I have(had) an 18in choker that one of my kids gave me a while back that I have been wearing and noticed the last couple of weeks it seemed like it was shrinking. Well on my 3rd set of my upright rows it EXPLODED on me. Beads and shells and shit went everywhere. Had to stop my w/o and clean up the mess. oh well......................

LOL. That must have looked very funny. At least you know it was not a choking hazard! (I'm with Erika too ... I'm sure you'll have a replacement in no time! )

I'm sure that with your neck size no-one dared to even think anything about it!
if it wasn't for what Erika said.. I'd say to either have the kids string them on elastic next time.. or like with quailty pearl neclaces.. tie a knot between each bead!
I still have a Kleenex "flower" to put in the hair like a tango dancer.. that my son made in kindergarden... and he'll be 24 this may! lol
me it's ankle braclets that I can't seem to keep in one piece.. I'm about to by a souldering kit for gold chains.. lol
I had heard that it's a good way to measure progress - measure your waist & neck; subtract the neck from your waist measurement. If that numbers gets smaller, you're making the right progress. A better measurement than weight, especially if you gain muscle.
Does that make sense?

Not knowing what a 'choker' was (maybe I should go crawl back under my rock?), I did my civic duty and googled it.
This is the first image that came up...
Is this what you were wearing?
nah he said it was shells. type "Shell Choker" into google image, probably get a better idea.

I'll give my embarrasing story. This happened about 2 years ago. I had just arrived at the gym and filled my water bottle with water at the fountain. It was an Aquafina type bottle. Anyways, I was starting with DB bench so I put my water bottle down next to the bench and grabbed my DB's to start doing my reps. I was doing about 150's....Not really I probably had something like 70's. I get done my first set and go to drop my weights down next to me. Accept I forgot My waterbottle was there. I dropped the weights right on the bottle and it let out he loudest pop i have ever heard in my life. Water went everywhere as it shot out the bottom of the bottle. Everybody in the gym stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Worst thing is i was workign out by myself so I didn;t have anybody to laugh with. I just kinda had to sit there with a dumb grin on my face like yeah that was me Im a moron. I had to get towels to clean up the water, I couldn't believe how far some of it flew.
Sitting across from a lovely lady using the (I think it’s called) hip abductor(?) machine. Not the most lady like device...if you know what I mean. She had on bike shorts and I guess they were rather old and tights because about 1/2 half way through the set ...rip...right down the crotch. It took her about 10 second to realize what had happened giving everyone doing crunches a view of her most private areas. I felt very sorry for her…I’ve not seen her since. Whatever gym she ended up transferring to I imagine she’s wearing looser shorts.
