Morning DMC, sorry to hear about your nephew... hope the situation is better than the doc's think it is.

Thanks Sean, me tooIt is pretty awful looking, he needs a miracle.

thats a shame, maybe he will be able to handle it tho if he does lose it, like i said, will be praying he doesn't

It’s going to affect so much. He’s a mechanic but was just going to apply for a new job well drilling, that won’t be happening.

Oh, that’s terrible! I can’t even imagine the pain. Everyone will be in my prayers, that’s for sure!!!

Kenny was about 9 and little Mr. Accident-Prone had broken his arm just a couple of weeks before we went home on leave over the Fourth. The whole bloomin’ family went up to Lori and Steve’s cabin at the lake. Ken was working on a wiring issue in the back bedroom. I told Steve not to let Kenny shoot off anything more hefty than a few firecrackers. Linda, Lori, Bev and I were in the cabin getting burgers ready to put on the grill while the men-folk played pyromaniacs. When we sat down to eat I noticed an angry red burn on Kenny’s broken arm and asked him what happened. He looked up at his Uncle Steve guiltily and Steve said, “Not my rap, Kenny. You have to take this one on your own.” Turns out Kenny was sticking bottle rockets in his cast and lighting them off. Well, I’m all about sympathizing when they got hurt. But that event is where my siblings and all of the kids first heard the phrase, “I have no sympathy for stupidity.” It’s stuck- we all use it, our kids use it, and their kids understand exactly what that means. We treated Kenny’s burn, no ER trip, and I’d like to say he learned about the dangers of fireworks. Um, he didn’t. Nice kid - just not always the fullest banana in the peel.

Happy birthday, DD..,,

Thanks Blooie!

I can imagine how that hurt, uffda!

When I worked at Subway the knives would get dull and not cut the bread without tearing but would slice the heck out of a finger. I always warned when I put out new knives cuz they were deadly.

x’s 2!

a dull knife will cut you quicker than a sharp one....

morning everyone
getting a little rain here, happy to see it, helps my beans come up, we pulled the pea vines up the other day and replanted kentucky blues, i love the taste of those beans
after i feed the chicks, think i will go shopping for a few things, sure hate to go shopping tho, i'm one of those women that hates shopping for anything, most of the time i try to order online

The only place I like to shop is the hardware store..... Clothes have to be way to the end of life before i go and get a replacement....

Good morning by the way.... Been fighting pain in my back... last couple of days.

funny thing about loosing weight.... you find aches and pains you didnt know you had...

All the while you are trying to wrangle your britches up....

I weigh in on the 11th expect a big loss through... My arms are crinkly now as are my legs...

I am loosing what I gained the last first... Arms legs waist face... I hope to be in the High two hundreds.... But I dont hold my breath...

Oh and on the 11 I can go back to a regular diet with only a few restrictions.... REgular meaning with all their rules...LOL. But I have done Low Fat Low Carb No Sugar for a very long time... the only issue will be portion control....

A Bowl of Soup from El Pollo Loco lasts me for three meals.... Thank goodness I like it cold too.

I like a little spice in my food and I finally can have it.... Just a splash of Chalula on my eggs... I seem to only be able to eat one egg now.... not three or four...

But Here is the big one They didnt kill my Taste buds.... So I can Enjoy Completely the two or three tablespoons I can eat...

True, but a sharp knife cuts deeper.

 

[perchie.girl]

True, but a sharp knife cuts deeper.

Ahh but you know its sharp.... you take care.... and The pressure needed to do the job is far less.

Knife skills are important for all working in the kitchen. How to keep your fingers out of the way when chopping veggies.... Using a Mandolin gripper instead of your fingers....
By the way I have a Mandolin.... It scares the crap out of me so I keep it in its box stored in the garage...

Did I also mention I have a great fear of knives. But I keep them sharpened and use the proper knife for the task at hand.

I use only about three knives.... A chefs knife a Paring knife and a small six inch knife... Dont know what kind it is....

Blooie, as I was coming to the end of my three years to see all 450 federalized airports, the guy at the Marriott checking me in thanked me for my platinum status. I told him that just meant I spent more nights in his beds than mine.

So sorry to hear about your nephew DMC!!! Hopefully they are able to save the eye and if not, hopefully he adapts well. I do hope they are able to save at least one though.

And sorry to hear about that sorry excuse for a father. He deserves a

And I am sorry for/about your brother in law, I am sure he must be beating himself up, but accidents do happen and hopefully he isn’t too hard on himself.

I will be praying for you and your family. And here are some hugs for you and everyone.

Thanks Kelsey!
