Unlike Steve Irwin I survived a serious strike from a stingray on the beach of Long Beach Island NJ.

Yeah sure there is! To keep as short as possible, in 1997 I was on the beach and a young couple had caught the fish. I attempted to get the hook out of its mouth and get it back into the ocean. Well thanks to a wave it gave it a chance to strike. It caught me just above the right wrist. Thank god my arm was in the way cause I was standing over it between my legs! Felt like getting hit with a hammer. After a ride in the ambulance, two days in Ocean County hospital,(Whos Doctors were great even though they stated "this is a new one for us!) and two months out of work, I am proud to say Im part stingray.

I have seen a couple of people that actually steped on them at stingray city on boats near us........we have only been there a few times but we saw it more than once so I though it might be pretty common. I know the ones in stingray city are very friendly and fun to feed and play with........but I would never consider going up to one on an open dive otherwise.......now I say that and I have been know to go up to a shark and an ell so I should never say never.

Glad your story turned out ok for you..........and you have a little stingray in you

We got him from a shelter as a kitten where he already had the name gunther..
He had huge paws and wobbled like a moose.. so we hyphenated it.. Gunther-Moose..
It is my user name most places..never even thought of a Buffett type name when I signed up..

That's funny, when I read your name I think of a twisted version of Mother Goose!
