I'm watching my A's on tv AIFG.

Are they winning? Winning is good.

Whoa, Hec. My best to Emmett. Getting ice on that thing was a great move and makes all the difference. I haven't done it myself, but I've heard that when you need to get through the nail to let out blood (or other liquid) build-up, you can heat up a unwound paper clip and just press the hot end of the paper clip to burn a small hole through the nail. You might want to Google that to see if it's just bullshit, but it sounds better to me than trying to use a needle or something sharp and having to estimate exactly how much pressure to use.

I hope the weekend gets better, señor.

when I broke my thumb the doctor used a hot needle, I did not enjoy it, but it was worth it but takeing the nail as short as possible my help with the throbbing.

{{vw}} and you have just proven that ranting , bitching and moaning here might even help people find a solution.

Beth, I am going to chose to believe that never, ever, happened.

Hec, just think in under 2 hours this day will be done.

Does anyone know if I do my taxes on Turbo Tax can I do them say, now and then go back to my account and print what I had done later? Or is it just gone?

Emmett's fingernail is only bruised about halfway up through the nail. Looks like he mashed himself with an errant hammer. It's throbbing still, but I don't think he'll lose the nail, or will require hot needles or exacto knives. (He won't even let me pull out a splinter, so at-home surgery is probably out of the question.)

I'm hoping it's more scare than damage.

That's good.

You may also want to see if he'll be willing to splint it for a couple days. Not because he needs his finger in a splint, but to keep from hitting the bruised parts.

I say, wincing five years after my last slammed-finger-in-door moment.

Twins. Huzzah.

Poor Emmett, and poor Hec! I hope it won't interfere with his pitching?

One of Mallory's birthday presents was a LeapFrog thing that comes with animal fronts and butts. You put them in, and if you put in both the horse front and horse back, let's say, you get a bit of trivia about the horse.

If you mix and match, you get a song with the appropriate animal:

You put a sheep in front / You put a cow behind
Put them both together / And what do you find?
A sheepcow? That's silly!!!!!

So I'm working on the game I'm running for Saturday Night D&D tonight, and just realized that, stuck in my head, is:

You put an owl in front / You put a bear behind
Put them both together / And what do you find?
An owlbear? That's s--RAWRRRR!!!*tear**rend*AIIIEEE!!!

Help me.
