Trilo, hope Pandorra is ok. Ouch!!!! Morning all. Coffee kicking in for a long day with a supplier in my car. So much fun......AntiM, how did the baking turn out?

[winebuff]

Oh, had a blast yesterday. Talked to Triken on the phone for almost 2 hours. What a great person. Also talked to MDF and Lucky on the phone briefly. Such nice peeps. Looking forward to mtg them in Reno next weekend. And the rest of you soon at TTIND

[Aurelia]

xoA.

Thanks guys, I'm passing along the well-wishes. While she can bend it easily enough the end of her pinky is still freakishly swollen this morning. She's doing the ibuprofen thing and will continue to watch it carefully. Meanwhile, busy day ahead. Where's my mocha?

[ygmir]

*Wanders in, makes CCC* Thanks, MDF!
Yeah, best pinkywishes, for Pandorra. dang those nasty falls!

Oww, poor Pandorra. Hope she feels better soon. Scraping up the hands means you think of it every time you touch something.

Savannah may already be corrupt... just sayin'

(are spiders really the key to Sav's ****???)

Spiders--whatever they are--really are the key to my neck.

*runs out to find ants*

Kudos to Pandora that she was strong enough to use her hands instead of knees !
wishing her well please Trilo
xoA.

When Larry broke his hand (5th metacarpal), the symptom was swelling and some pain. Took a week for him to have it checked. His was lined up as it began to heal, so they didn't need to re-break the bone. Please, if she has insurance, go get an x-ray, so it does not begin to heal crookedly and cause problems down the road.

Mocha, aye aye!

[ygmir]

good point, AntiM:
I've broken my hand and foot, and didn't get either fixed, so, both have crooked bones. They work, but my career as a lingerie model was certainly compromised by the deformities.

Agreed . . . it would be good to make sure the bone is straight.

I caught a hardball without a mitt when I was eleven, and my right pinky swelled up to the size of my middle finger, but even the x-ray was subtle. Dr. W said "Well, it's not broken . . . " and I said "What's that?" and pointed at a portion of the x-ray and he put his glasses on and said "Well, I'll be damned. You have a chip fracture."

It was straight though, so I just got a splint. The finger was stiff for a while after the splint came off, but there was no lasting problem.

Good Morning, everybody!

[theCryptofishist]

... and quite a bruise on her poor little pinky.

The sort of injury best cured by a kiss on said pinky.

[theCryptofishist]

So, for the meet 'n' greet--comparison on broken fingers?
I slammed mine in a truck door when I was uninsured.

[Savannah]

Oww! I'll bet your finger wins already. You can't tell I ever broke my pinky, but now I'm dying to see your finger.

I did once have my hand slammed in a car door, but I was little and my bones were apparently made of rubber, so nothing was broken.

[Mojojita]

HI

Not yet, but I will work on it! )

and welcome, Roark!

Thanks YGMir! Been lurking a while but decided it was time to start posting. SHMBO'd (She Who Must Be Obeyed) has decreed we will be Burning in 2013, so its time to start!

Oh Yeah! Love the Rumpole reference! Welcome Roark.

[ygmir]

finally ruined my favorite welding shirt, I caught fire bad enough, I had to tear half off , because hitting the flames were not putting them out.
and yeah, I always wear a heavy cotton undershirt, to protect me, and this shirt, to protect the cotton one.
dang.

Oh dear. Force entry does not mean break the door down?

((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))

Yggy firy Dude
take care
what were you doing ?

[Roark]

Ygmir: ya need some leathers! With a little creative thought they might make part of your playa-wear.

[AntiM]

Oh dear, Yggy, I read wedding shirt....

[MyDearFriend]

Oh dear, Yggy, I read wedding shirt....

Me too, gosh, I was thinking WOW

Hope you are not burned to badly, Yggy, and that you have some Bag Balm in the house.

[theCryptofishist]

what were you doing ?

Wild guess: Welding.

[winebuff]

Wow Yggy, hope you are ok. Dude, put the crack pipe down and step away

[Sunbeam56]

True story. My Dad "retired" at age 70. Two weeks later I went to see him - I thought he had been in a fight. Massive welding slag burns all over his fore=arms.

Be careful what you wish for.

[theCryptofishist]

[ygmir]

hhaha wedding shirt..........no..........
Thanks for the concern.
And, MDF: I was wearing 2 shirts, so, the outer one caught fire, but it was a loose flannel shirt, easy to tear off.
my under one protected me from flame,so, it's just as I turned, I felt the heat on my cheek and smelled burning shirt. no injury from that
Yeah Roark, leathers...some day.
*pours whiskey and hot water*
Keeps life interesting, though!!

[Roark]

Ygmir: If you're looking for a cheap (or free, if you have the materials) alternative to the expense of getting leathers, get yourself a carpenters bib from the local lumberyard made from canvas. This protects the front side of you nicely. Then make yourself some "sleeves" from canvas duck to protect your arms.

I have leathers, but on hot days I still revert back to my old homebrew bib & sleeves. They work really well (especially for TIG and MIG). On a hot day, soak 'em in water. They'll keep you cool and resist ignition. The older and more abused they get, the better they feel.

[theCryptofishist]

*slowly walks away from opportunity to make "old and abused" jokes at yggy's expense.*

[trilobyte]

Glad to hear it was just the shirt, Yggy! I had a good class tonight on the jointer, planer, and table router tools. They're fun tools that will come in handy when working on furniture projects. My favorite tool in the wood shop (the shopbot) was sitting idle tonight, I'm looking forward to putting it to work in the weeks and months ahead.



End of a long day though, I'm beat.
