Make sure you do double check, since no one needs too many tools...
Sheesh! I plonked that buttbite years ago. bTMTeg
Good thread wander, BTW.
Too bad Usenet doesn't keep track of how many times someone is kill
filed on a group to determine if they are allowed to access that group.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Wandering-
Metal related banter: Well, I saw the inside of an ER yesterday (and
today.) A pristine (used) Chiwanese pruning saw blade decided to jump
the cut, careen off a hovering branch, and embed itself a foot away,
into the top of my left hand. I lucked out, though. The kitchen
faucet washed out all of the debris but I found that the skin was too
far open to butterfly properly and I bit the bullet and hit the
Immediate Care place. They wanted $192-298 just to walk in, plus
whatever a tetanus shot, irrigation kit, and suture kit cost, plus
$100/stitch, and they wanted it all RIGHT NOW!
The other option was the "make payments" route. It was a 6+ hour
ordeal, but I came out with 5 shiny new stitches, a slightly used
stainless trauma kit, and an unknown cost. (I guess they send Guido
over to negotiate with us non-rich folks. I dunno.)
I curse myself for not taking my chainsaw along or having gloves on.
Either would have precluded the accident. sigh

You paid to have that fixed???? Blink blink
If I didn't use my hands to make a living, I might have tried to
simply butterfly it, but the gap scared me. I saw tendons and the
synovial cap over my index finger joint as the saw was sliding off the
skin of my hand. It's no big deal on someone else, but it's scary when
you see your own insides. That generally indicates something is very
wrong, KWIM,V?
Been there..done that. My hands look like they have gone through a
grinder. I repair machinery in machine shops remember...sharp edges
and filed with razor sharp chips. The scars run up to my elbow. Its
rare that Im not bleeding somewhere..what with the blood thinners.
Shrug
I've successfully butterflied deep meat wounds, but nothing where the
skin was floating, such as the skin over my hand.
Practice makes perfect!
Must be nice to be rich.
Har! Hell, Gunner, you make more money than I do annually. I's a po
white chile.
Feeding 9 people are you?
Oddly enough, I still haven't been contacted by their financial staff.
It'll be a scary moment, but it'll work into a low monthly payment.
Well, until I become rich and famous with the Green Monster...
If I become rich..Idaho sounds like a nice place to live.

"You guess the truth hurts?
Really?
"Hurt" aint the word.
For Liberals, the truth is like salt to a slug.
Sunlight to a vampire.
RaidŽ to a cockroach.
Sheriff Brody to a shark
Bush to a Liberal
The truth doesn't just hurt. It's painful, like a red hot poker shoved
up their ass. Like sliding down a hundred foot razor blade using their
dick as a brake.
They HATE the truth."
