…everyone in the world has sliced their hand on a broken water glass at
one point or another.
It was a broken bottle in my case, but I can show you the scar. It runs right down my right thumb.
Were you picking a fight with Pony Boy and Johnny?
Um.
Huh?
I have not, but I have sliced my thumb open on a frozen bagel before.
I have, quite seriously, heard that a significant percentage of household accidents involve bagels.
But I had always supposed that it was from the implements used to cut bagels, rather than the bagels themselves. I’ve learned something new.
Some ridiculous preponderance of household accidents actually involve toilets.
Except in the UK, where they typically involve frying potatoes while intoxicated.
I bet the phrase “while intoxicated” figures in a large percentage of accident reports in the British Isles.
I think police reports only bother to note when a participant is sober.
My ex said that while he was on his mission in England back in the 60’s there were almost daily reports of little old ladies falling asleep in front of their little heaters/stoves and catching fire.
It doesn’t involve cutting, but probably involves toddies and/or cooking sherry.
stripping uber heavy gauge wire with a utility knife
You were askin’ for it.
yeah kind of but we dont have another way to do it. usually with a fresh blade it slices right through the outer insulation but there is enough friction to stop you from slipping and getting yourself in the thumb, finger, palm, or whatever. On another subject if you havent already. the center for puppetry arts is doing elves and the shoemaker starringm y friend aaron gotlieb who is a brilliant puppeteer and rocket jr might enjoy such frivolity as would mom and dad.
Cleaning a deli slicer with the blade cover off while it was still plugged in. Lifted it up and simultaneously cut my hand, electrocuted myself, severed the power cord, and fused a hole in the steel blade, but a water glass? That’s just clumsy.
Yeaps! You win the prized for most creative injury.
Love the icon. Add a leather pilot’s helmet and red scarf and you could be the Red Baron.
Words fail.
Not me
At least I don’t think so. Let me do an inventory of scars on my hands and wrists.
Nope, no water glasses. Though on reading that I am amazed that I still have ten fingers.

Only a matter of time before that changes, it seems.
Betadine antibiotic ointment seems to help the most. That and hydrocodyn.
*healing hugs*
Them’s mighty big medical sounding words.
I’m more comfortable with the hugs. I can pronounce that.
For the Hydrocodone, just ask for the “Limbaugh Special” but only take 1/100th of a dose at a time.
A heating pad can help with the pain.
And still more *hugs*
