Use a long serrated knife. Like, you know, a bread knife. Hold the bagel upright between your thumb and middle finger. Insert blade under the bridge of your fingers and cut down, away from fingers, thumb webs and fleshy palms. None of which should be in the way of the cutting action.
Very sensible, but not possible if you don't have the manual dexterity for that! (I am no longer allowed to use knives, after an 'incident' that freaked out The Girl.)
quester, wishing you speedy healing. Passing out while cutting something sounds very scary indeed.
Healing~ma to you too, Teppy.
The govt agency people have stopped e-mailing me with thousands of questions. I guess that means they're making their decision. *busies self with things so as not to worry*
Tea.
Please to send the ~ma. It looks like the agency is making the decision on my support workers for teaching today. While I don't want to jinx it, they're starting to ask *relevant* questions, like what date the semester ends and whether I have an individual in mind to provide the support. If I win this one, I'm buying The Girl (who worked all weekend on the application) an extremely large present.
Oh! Oh! A wall of ~ma, dear.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you, Seska.
Seska, may they take their heads out of their asses ~ma.
You are all lovely. She needs yet more answers to (this time fairly-easy) questions, so I have to wait to ask The Girl stuff. (She has all the details of my life in her head. What a star.)
Meanwhile, The Girl's family has agreed to allow us to have our wedding in May, and tentatively agreed to come. This may be the day that 2011 gets better than 2010!
OMG, love! Huge congrats!
