Light bulb moment

[threadwalker]

My burns are small and on the right index finger and thumb (amazing how much pain a small burn can generate! It felt like entire thumb and finger last night). They have turned into a mix of ooky blisters and melted/scarred flesh in the pattern of the ring of the skewer (neat!). I keep fiddling with the non-blister part... it's "weird"...

But I have GREAT news: Reasons why being burned/scarred on your fingers is a "win":

1. Constant Boo Boo kisses from the family!

2. Unique finger prints. No one will ever be able to pin the crime on me. (likewise, I will need to get some false finger tips for any life of crime I was thinking of)

3. With enough scarring, I'll have asbestos fingers... I'll be able to pick things up from the hot grill without fear!!!

4. After the scars settle down, I'll never need another thimble for hand work!

Go me!

Edit
More neat:
when I line up the injuries from both fingers, they meet because they were holding the same skewer. I can feel the pulse in both at the same time... It's totally weird and spoooky!!!!! So I'm walking around gently placing them together and smirking like a weirdo. heh... who knew it would be so entertaining!

Man, you really did it good, didn't you?

Hate to rain on your parade... as to #2, remember, it only takes a partial print to ID someone via finger prints. As such, I'd put aside those plans to become a cat-burglar!!! As for the Boo Boo kisses... that's still a "win."

I am constantly amazed that it takes me so long to realize that something is burning my hand. I remember being quicker on the draw when I was younger, but now, I seem to constantly be at risk in terms of cooking. Guess I'm getting old.

Congratulations. You managed to burn yourself on one of the most sensitive spots of your body. You always were an over-achiever. :-)

I burned my finger on a stove once, very badly. It didn't hurt because the nerves were killed right away, but it sure smelled delicious. Roasted long pig, yum.

Been there, done that. Don't do it the night before a midterm. Very painful to be writing for two hours while trying to avoid the blisters.

Hope the skewer had yummy food on it!

Please to be telling more of the stuff you think about and don't usually tell anyone? Often highly amusing, and certainly validating to at least my own weirdnesses. =)

Don't go for #3 - you wouldn't be able to tell if you have a needle in your hand without looking, which would make handwork really, really difficult.

Enjoy the kisses from family and heal up nicely instead.
