Though Hil has generally been in the lead, with Ginger close behind, Erin is quickly moving up to the front of the pack for sheer goofiness of self-injury.
At least I'll never ask anyone "how could you do that"? I know that gravity and boiling water and wine bottles are just out there waiting to get you. I've been skimming through because work is eating me from my bottom, but I started to tell Beth about the times boiling water has attacked me. The most spectacular was when the boiling water from boiling potatoes for potato salad attacked my foot ,and I had to spend the rest of the day with my foot in ice water. It turned into a kind of surreal day, in that the Cartoon Network was showing an Iron Giant marathon, so I watched The Iron Giant several times and took leftover codeine pills.
I hope the arm is doing better, Erin.
P-C, I thought of your family troubles today when they announced arrests in a murder in which an Indian man paid to have his daughter-in-law murdered because she was not Indian and he wanted her out of the family [link] I'm afraid this may just confirm your worst fears.
eta: Sorry about the card-eating machine, P-C.
