Don't tell John
But . . . I cut my left index finger earlier today - and I suspect it probably needed a couple of stitches, but I don't have time to go to the hospital and do that, so I washed it, put on neosporin and I butterflied it and then put a bandage over it. Damn thing hurts.
And yes, just like John, I did it using the wrong tool for the wrong task. I was trying to figure out if I could knock out a hole in some plastic, and I used my small, very sharp scissors.
Ow.
Oh, you can tell I'm a farmer because I am going to a meeting tonight to learn how to maintain ponds.
I get to learn about aeration and all kinds of stuff.
Woo Hoo!
[Dont' tell her, but Beth is about to become #1 in Google for... "I scissored myself today!"]

bandages will work as work as stitches often times..done a lot of them myself but on a farm it is a pretty good idea to keep some needles and thread in the first aid kit just in case

Well, you could say, "I bayoneted myself... with a pair of scissors."
Hey, at least you weren't running at the time, right?

Yeah, Gary, but it's tough on the fish...

Hmm, seems like I need to read Beth's blog daily if I want to post a smart remark, or stupid comment, before new-commenting is turned off.

Amazing how easily you can open up a nasty cut with scissors, isn't it?
John needs to get you a nice SAK (Swiss Army Knife) - one like the old SuperTinker I carry that has both regular and Phillips screwdrivers as well as scissors and - especially relevant here - the punch awl suitable for making holes in plastic.
Gee, too bad there's not an occasion he could use as an excuse... ;)
Hope the rest of your day is a Happy one!
