Sweet relief

[captainsblog]

I just got out of a Friday morning court appearance, close to three hours from here in good weather, that would have eaten tomorrow night alive and kept me away from hearth and home all day Friday, when Eleanor has her next followup appointment. That afternoon will still be a wipeout for me, but it'll only take me as far as Rochester, and not until after she's done with the docs.

Incidentally, we've both noticed that, when we describe last Friday night's accident to people, many are overcome with what can only be described as a ::koff:: burning desire to tell us, in similar detail, That Same Thing Wot Happened To Them. Based on these stories, I have resolved never ever to touch the following items again:

* a stove, particularly a glass-topped one;
* a tea kettle;
* a Pop Tart (not much of a problem with that;)
* [insert your skin-crawling story here]

Also, if the burned body part begins with a "t," I don't want to hear ANYTHING about it. No, it was not a story about a tibia.

I was 19 and hanging around my apartment in nothing but a t-shirt and panties. I had just pulled a blazing hot TV dinner from the oven, the kind all covered in melty gooey cheese, and when I the tray on the counter I flipped it and had gooey cheese melting into my upper thigh, oh wait, no T parts, umm, my upper leg. I went to the hospital where they gave me pain meds and proceded to use tweezers to pick cheese out of my skin. I had second degree burns and I still have a scar. I also have a fear of tv dinners with cheese on them.

I just want to point out that the only time I have EVER burned a tit it was a sunburn, and only at the edge, because let me tell YOU the one time I've been to a nude beach I used a whole damn spray bottle of SPF. Ain't gonna be no burned ta-tas here, I'll tell you whut!

*grin*

My work here is done.

Yeah, I poured a whole percolator of hot coffee into my lap once.

I wasn't going to mention it, but you brought it up first...
