Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If you can't afford an actual doctor in an actual medical facility, don't have plastic surgery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is what I'm talking about. And if you're getting a group discount? Possibly not the best.

Robin it says here you are forbidden to have plastic surgery anyway as you are (and I quote): "Already perfect in every particular."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We got one of those in the actual mail at work one day, which seems pretty dumb, since going through the PO makes it a huge crime

I reported the one I got to the FBI. It was a fun call. I was all, "um, maybe I watch too much teevee, but mail fraud is a Federal Offense, right?"

The agent laughed and seemed a good enough fellow.

Anyone have any miracle burn treatment tips? I got a bad steam burn on my finger cooking dinner and I can't make it stop hurting. I ran it under cold water first, then tried that wound ointment stuff with the pain killer in it - no dice. Then I had it soaking in a baking soda paste for a long time, which works for a little while and then stops. Then I went to the store and got solarcaine, which is doing nothing.

It's not blistering, or even very red or swollen, but it hurts like a mo-fo.

Try morphine, that's good for pain.

Uh...I'd wrap it tight with a bandaid and try a double vodka tonic, chased with three Motrin. That's my best advice short of actual narcotics.

I just hold an ice cube to a small burn like that.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

No miracles, unfortunately, but just make up a bowl with water and some ice (not frostbite level, just enough so it will stay cold) and just leave it in there a while. It won't hurt while it's in the cold water, and eventually those neurons give up on firing quite so much.

It's finally starting to fade a bit. The big problem was that I was trying to go to bed early tonight and I couldn't sleep with the finger throbbing - or, as it turns out, with it in a precariously balanced bowl of baking soda goop. I'm going to go try again now. Wish me luck.
