chicka, I'm with you on giving myself shots. I can give shots to others. My mom needed them, so I learned to give them to her. Growing up, I gave daily shots to one of our neighbors. I simply can't force myself to stab myself with anything. I could never be a cutter, or a needle using junkie. I hate it when I have to get a shot, and that's with someone else doing it. Worse than shots, is blood draws. IV's are the worst. HATE them with a passion.

Probably depends on the size of the needle too! Blood draws are big needles. The cat's insulin needles are tiny 31g. Goes in so easily I have to make sure I have her tented properly, could just miss and drip 1-3 units on her skin

IF you don't do it yourself and DH does it instead, I guess that is quality "together" time

I have absolutely no problem jabbing needles into other peoples' flesh. Into my own flesh, not readily anyway.

In nurse's training we had to do a blood type on ourselves. All we had to do was jab our fingers. Took me 15 minutes to work up the guts to just stick my finger, lol.

After 40 years of practice I wonder if I could stick myself any easier?

probably not

the only place I have veins to draw blood from are my hands. I make them take it from my right hand. I can't even watch them draw it. But they have to use a small needle to draw it.

I won't kill it unless it acts aggressive. I do kill the red river wasps when they get on the porch. With the electric swatter.

Our electric swatter broke first time hubby used it. I got him a tennis racquet.

Soooo we had a disaster last night all the joins under the kitchen sink let go while i was washing dishes! So as soon as i pulled the plug we had water pouring out from the cupboard!
Mopped it up with 6 towels and let it dry overnight. Hubby to the rescue with silicone! I am going to put a shelf under there, which i had been meaning to do. The pieces are cut and painted, and drying.
