What happened to your finger, ita?

Smiles for a gift bag for mac.

Repeat after me: "I don't know how the problem started. I just fixed it."

Yep. I only fix stuff. Don't have a clue how it broke.

Been reading some British and Australian websites about Steve Irwin. The Guardian's comment board had a couple of funny things.

JOB 40:24 and God said to Job "can anyone capture him by the eyes or trap him and pierce his nose? Can you pull the Leviathan (possibly crocodile) with a fish hook? or tie down his tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?"

Job replied..... "No Sir. But Steve Irwin can"

There are probably some seriously cheesed off crocodiles in Oz, today. Surely they had fisrt dibs? How long have they been planning Steve Irwin's downfall and now some upstart stingray gets in a lucky shot. This could start a turf war, they'll be out for revenge, wouldn't want to be the rays...

Humanzee: I think the crocodiles want to distance themselves from this tragic event as much as possible, lest there be any suggestion in the media that the stingray was in fact a hired assasin (paid for by crocodiles). Similarly, snakes are notably mute today, I spoke to one about Steve's untimely death, and he just stared back at me as though he had no idea what I was talking about. The whole thing smells of conspiracy. Plausible denial can be a very powerful tool in these situations, I mean, have you ever seen a stingray and a crocodile in close proximity to each other? Of course not, so we have to assume there was some kind of go-between. Something inoccuous, an honest broker. A dreary looking halibut perhaps, he's not gonna draw attention if he delivers a message from croc to stingray is he? So my point is, if anyone is going to the wall for this one, it's the damn halibut! Creepy little fishy bastard. Any word on the stingray? Is he in custody? He'll porbably claim 'diplomatic immunity'...play the innocent abroad...get Jean Claude Van Damme on his ass...

I jammed it more than two weeks ago, Cindy. It's just as painful as it was then, if not more than. So I figured I'd take it to somewhere near work that can do X-Rays if necessary.

Oh, damn. I'm sorry, ita. Two weeks is too long. On the other hand (no pun), Ben and I have both had jammings that took a long time to heal (and he's young and generally heals at slayer speed). Still, if it's no better at all, and maybe worse, it does seem like Xray time.

msbelle, did you get to the doctor yet? I didn't mean to recommend the sour citrus stuff if you still have a canker sore, or think this is canker related.

My officemate and I got taken out to lunch by our boss, and now I think we're drunk. Seriously, a long lunch after a long weekend out, and we kind of forget what we do for a living.

I fell and hurt my finger around the same time ita did. it is far from healed, but it is improved. just not improved enough to make me happy

I feel ita and beth's pain. OUCH! My finger is throbbing from the thought.

It's not really serious, however, until canker sores are involved.

Helloooooooooooooo? ooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm avoiding a work task, and waiting for a phone call, which I was sure I would miss while at lunch. Hmmm.
