Scary indeed.

Yeah, but the neighbors cringe when they see Alaskan with the power equipment.

From what I hear, Alaskan may be the only one around who's crazy enough to wrestle with the plow truck on those steep driveways - and in Alaska, that's going some!

And is this "attempting dismemberment" becoming something of a family tradition?

Not true, Alaskan has only hit one snow machine this winter, no cars.

And, before snow season, when we took the plow truck into the shop to get everything fixed in preparation for the upcoming snow season... The guys said that our plow truck was the SECOND worst he had seen. NOT the worst!

Finally, since no stitches OR superglue were required, the cut does not follow in the 'dismemberment' category.

Talking of dismemberment... The bill was finally revealed in all its glory. For going to the emergency room, having some obviously very expensive person wash it off, put on steri strips (which are just butterflies super glued down, and those steri strips lasted less than 12 hours since the continued bleeding 'washed' them right off) and a bandage, cost us just over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Yep, once again showing why going to the emergency room is a total waste of money, because dudes, we could have done all that at home for under five bucks.

Alaskan thinks that we should have asked for a five hundred buck refund since the steri strips came off so soon. And how uber stupid to use steri strips instead of stitches.. Just because the flesh was hamburger, if they could find enough area to glue down steri strips, then that is enough area to put in a stitch! Sheesh!

Alaskan, this is very scary to me, but I agree with your ER rant.

Perhaps he was too young and "missed it by that much". I now know I am assigned for the rest of the day (perhaps the week) to use the cone of silence....

ooooh, what lovely thing has caused you to be put in the cone of silence?

Did some lovely forget to remove the plastic lips?
