War Wounds & Battle Scars

I was watching Lake Placid 2 (yeah, I know ) this past weekend & it got me to thinking, "What if something horrific happened to me & I couldn't be identified via facial recognition or fingerprints??" How would they [or even I, if my memory was lost] figure out who I am/was?

 

Tattoos were the 1st thing that came to mind, but since I have none [chickened out 5 years ago & never looked back], my permanent scars came to mind.

 

Trust & believe, I have many & can tell you how I got each & every one.

• The 20+ year old thigh scar (pictured above), courtesy of my mother, due to her short fuse & my smart mouth (this one deserves it's own blog).
• The 20+ year old burn mark on knee, courtesy of my laziness & a hot iron.
• The 35+ year old foot scar, courtesy of my mother in an effort to remove my infant ID anklet (luckily, I don't recall this incident).
• The 25+ year old German Shepard bite on the front of my leg (I'll have to blog about this too because I was bitten once & but he got my sister about 8 times).

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. With that being said, I'm gonna photograph (and maybe even video) & journal all of my war wounds & battle scars & be sure that those who would be contacted I.C.E. have it.

 

Am I nuts? Hmph! Don't answer that or .

 

Bored?  Occasionally, but there's a method to my madness!
