you can send one to me for taste testing.
ION - seems my day off has developed quotes, and will now be a "Day Off", in which I work from home. Ugg. I need down time.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The pie is definitely tasty, but I can certainly see how a bit of butter might enhance the flavor further. Which is, of course, why whipped cream is so important now.

Poor omnis. I hope you get a chance for true relaxation soon.

Whipped cream, as it so often does, seems like a good idea, WS.
You are way overdue for time off, o_a. Hope you have a real day off with no quotes very soon!

So, having removed six splinters from between my pinky finger nail and the quick, from what is now a 2mm by 3mm pocket between them, I find that efforts to retrieve the seventh and largest seem to be driving it further in rather. I've been making use of the medicinal frozen corn, and that has yet to be of any help other than to reduce the amount of pain. Would it be ok, do you think, to just let it go, growing out with the nail for... well... least a month, maybe more... and then remove the splinter? I dosed the finger well with Solarcaine and rubbing alcohol.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wouldn't leave it, Andi, it'll get infected. I've pulled hard-to-get splinters out with glue before, but I don't know if that's a good idea given where it is. You should probably go to a doctor.

Sorry, Andi, I can't seem to think anything other than OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW OW OW OW OW OWWWWW in response to your post.
Oh, maybe if you soak it in epsom salts? Or just warm water, maybe. I seem to recall that that might draw a splinter out.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Andi, I've found hydrogen peroxide to be pretty effective at drawing out a splinter. Keep pouring it in--helps stave off infection, too.
