alexp999 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I had to get myself a ring pull opener after an incident with a can when I was younger. Stays with you. I still can't bring myself to open a ring pull can without an opener. Sliced up the inside of my thumb as I opened it. Didn't end up in A and E but remember spending a long time with my arm in the air because the damn thing wouldn't stop bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what happened to me, only it was a bit further down and ended up going through the skin between my thumb and forefinger. I was quite young at the time as well so genuinely thought I was going to bleed to death!! There is no scar, remarkably: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooooooo......I can feel that from your description. :o When I had a scalpel embedded in the top of my foot a couple of years ago, it took ages, far longer than my semi-severed finger injuries to stop bleeding. Trying to keep your foot above your heart in a comedy moment in itself, particularly when you have an entire loo roll strapped to the elevated limb, with your belt! I lay on the bathroom floor in the end, with my foot against the shower door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the night shift trying to allow her to recover Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Strong coffee and energy drinks but don't overdo it, you don't want to be buzzing, to keep you going for the next 6 hours.

jeebowhite Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Sadly none are working. Even before tonight the last 8 nights have been woeful, so I'm no longer running on fumes, I'm gliding to the crash landing Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianb Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 When someone offers me something like a chocolate or something and I decline politely "no, honestly I'm fine right now, thanks very much though" for them to reply: "Oh well, more for me then.." I can't tell whether they think they're funny, they think my reply was ungrateful or what?!? Sorry I don't stuff my face with chocolates 24/7 and on this occasion I declined your offer... Honestly makes me want to throw a chair through the window!!!!...with you sitting in it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Lol, people get so offended if you turn down food/drink. Something I do regularly! Only very few people know about my OCD food problems so the rest just think I'm an ungrateful !Removed!... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I just say "No thank you but thanks for offering". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Oops.... As for the food thing, I normally just say "no thank you" but as they normally ask me about 10 times I thought I'd make a point of declaring how thankful I am... I don't have a problem with accepting food so much, it's just that if I'm hungry, I eat.... If I want, I'll get... I don't really wait around to be thrown a bone... So chances are, I won't be interested... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who will not take no for an answer, and the whole period of a visit is interspersed with repeated food offerings and polite "no thanks, I'm fine, thanks for asking" As if they don't actually believe you and need to constantly check Rather inappropriate placement for the Europarts ad directly below the RTC story, almost "crashed your car? come to us for parts to mend it!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, hadn't noticed that! I find it challenging as I normally am big on eating, but I know what I eat, and if I eat crap food then it's through my doing... Not anyone else's. I don't need to be tempted to eat badly by people who have no inclination to remain healthy.. And then made to feel ungrateful as a result! Also, I like to remain polite and civil, however if polite doesn't work a few times then I will test the waters with rude, if rude doesn't work then I'm likely to snap!

GMX Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Inadvertently shut Brandy in a spare bedroom whilst vacuuming earlier. I did wonder where she was, had assumed she was downstairs or outside doing dog things. It was the sudden howling and then whimpering that alerted me to her being lost in the house, somewhere. I hope we haven't had a repeat of yellow lake, it's carpeted in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
