Now I Could USE A Super Mushroom

Interestingly, it’s entirely possible to type without using your right thumb.  Which turns out to be very handy for people who have, to pick a random example, lodged an X-acto knife in said thumb.

 

Ironically, it was while I was carving that 1-Up mushroom. And here I may never play video games again.

 

Fortunately it didn’t go deep; I think the bone stopped it. Hooray. And figures I had no band-aids,* so I wound up duct-taping some toilet paper to it until the morning when I could buy some.  Now I keep whapping it and swearing, but I will not give up on my mushroom.  It may be a setback in ceramics, though.

 

 

*Or, as they have been known in my family since the volunteer jobs, “bamnaids.”

Ow.

That sounds more excruciatingly painful than I'd rather have to even imagine. I hope you'll eventually recover well enough over time. :-/

Ow ow ow ow.

But here's to impromptu band aids! I cut myself way too much (accidentally!) and I'm always running out of band aids, so I've made them out of tape/tissues/the kitchen sink multiple times.

Hope it feels better soon.

Uugghh, yeah, I learned a similar lesson this week (just replace "using your right thumb" with "most of the fingers on one hand") when a customer broke a plate and I ended up sticking my hand in a creamy pile of mashed potatoes that was hiding really sharp shards of broken crud.

Band-aids are awesome; don't you just feel cool wearing them? When I was a kid I always wanted to get injured so I could wear a band-aid...

Holy cow. I remember this one time li'l brudder was using an X-Acto knife for something and my mom knocked it onto the floor where it dramatically embedded itself with a ridiculously loud THUNK! I thought it was really cool at the time, but I assume I would think it less so if it happened to a part of my anatomy. Hope you heal up soon.

Thanks. It's not as bad as all that, but I do keep forgetting and doing something that makes me swear a lot.

How do you make the kitchen sink into a bamnaid?

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Bah customers. Sorry about that.

Yeah, especially if they've got, like, Batman on them. And you show everyone and are careful to keep them from getting wet.

We actually had to make a rule at the school I volunteered at that you could only get one if you were actively bleeding. It was the only way to deter one girl from demanding band-aids for everthing--we figured it made her feel loved. Although we did make an exception for a stuffed puffin when it fell off its Tonka truck and hurt its wing. Because plush puffins need band-aids too, dammit.

Reminds me of our beloved childhood game of Go Get Pa In The Field Because I Just Dropped The Scissors Into The Baby's Eye (A Historical Reenactment). It was played with a small baby doll and some safety scissors. My brother and I would argue over who got to drop the scissors.

Those safety scissors never dramatically embedded themselves, though. What a deprived childhood I had ...
