It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The cauterizing of the nostril - this would be to prevent or stop too much bleeding?
That is correct.
I've never heard of cauterizing a nostril before. And it sounds awful.
It is indeed awful. And being a well-read 10 y.o. I knew what cauterizing meant, though I presumed that it would involve local anesthetics and maybe some electrical device. Not the doctor having the nurse hold my arms down, while he dipped a q-tip in a big jar of highly caustic chemical and then stick it up my nose. And then...while I was trembling with pain and rage...he did it to my other nostil. It was between the two that I had to Not!Punch him with great effort.
There was some screaming at my Mom later, and feelings of Betrayal and Mistrust of the Medical People.

Our wings are not tired.
Youch!
The sales tax here at 6.5% seemed like a deal after seeing 9.75% in upstate NY. We don't have any income tax in Florida, but my real estate taxes are a killer. Last year $7000. I think tax free is this week. I need to go school shopping quick.

My ass was grass, and that backboard was the lawnmower.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just realized that reading about the worst physical traumas y'all have experienced right before I go try my hand at horseback riding again, not the best idea.
I hope I have nothing to report later past a wee bit of stiffness.

Car accident featuring: fractured coccyx while laying on a back board
I managed to fracture same while in labor with my second baby. That pretty much sucked. Not my worst pain ever, though. All my worst pain belongs to teeth issues.

Oh, that was my most painful experience ever. I was about to have TMJ surgery, so right before they knocked me out they had to put a tube through my nose into my lungs (in case my face swelled up so much that I'd otherwise be unable to breath). So the doctor took a long cotton swab that was dipped in liquid cocaine and shoved it up my nose.
It's very uncomfortable, isn't it? I did a bunch of studies with tubes and wires down my nose into my stomach, and even when they're very gentle with the Q-Tip it's no fun. This is why I found the undercover PETA video about Covance's treatment of lab monkeys more disturbing than some other people -- they just ram those tubes down their nose in one motion and the monkeys don't even blink.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's so lovely that we're sharing stories of miserable pain. I forgot to mention the time I had dry socket, and the dentist packed it. It felt much better in about an hour, but at the time, I wanted to kill him.

Thrive to spite them
The worst pain I had was nasal related. I had to have a tube pushed down my nose, the second worst pain was when the pulled it out.
