it's not how many pokers are in the fire

[threadwalker]

it's how you pull them out. yesh...was grilling dinner. Yay me! yay fire! Yay seared-fleshy-goodness...oh crap- that's my fleshy-goodness!

metal-skewer + bare hand + fire = oooooow!@$!@!#$#%!

asbestos finger upgrade must be on back order. boo! i've been exploring all the things i can do left-handed while right hand is in ice-water bath. E.G,

embroidery = no
dish washing = F! no
typing left-handed = y
watching tv = y
running = lol... no
snuggling kids in bed = no water bath = briefly.. for as long as i can stand sensation of fingers on fire
computer games = no - can't mouse
hand joining linen with tiny stitches ... on ebh chemise = y!!! wow! but need both knees too. yoga stitching
eating boo-boo-girl ice cream cone= praise the makers of chunky chip mint, hell yes!

more exploring forth coming as soon as i replace my ice. tomorrow wiil suck at work. sigh. the shape of the skewer is perfectly raised in a contrasting color of blisters on my wittle fingers. *sniffle* i may be a +6 for planning, but i think i'm -6 in kitchen. humor aside, this f-ing hurts. wonder if i'll be able to sleep.

Thank you! I think you rock pretty steady yourself.

As it happens, I know you, but you have no reason to know me. :-) I joined in early '91, just after your reign, and you and F were still very active and visible to the awestruck kid that we all are when we first find the SCA. Our paths didn't cross much over time but we had the occasional random chat here or there, so you are very much in my collection of "who's who" in the West. :-)

We don't get back out there all that often but we have made it at least once a year since we moved, so I'm sure we'll happen upon one another sooner or later!

I am notoriously bad at faces and names. To quote Men in Black,

I look forward to meeting you for the first time... again

Likewise. ;-)
