AliceTheOwl Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Of women? Didn't the original story mention the murder of both a woman and a man? Yes, but he was killed for the woman's indiscretion. One story only had the young woman suffering for the "sin" of talking to a man who wasn't of her culture.

archermoo Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings What did happen with XP SP3? It got released, then pulled briefly for a bugfix, and then re-released. But then again, I don't have any problems with the search function in Vista. Quite like it in fact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Worked outside in my yard all weekend. I'm pretty stiff and sore, but worst of all is my left hand. I tore the skin off my palm while digging out/prepping our vegetable garden. Hurts like a summagun. It's like a giant blister, about an inch and a half square. I've got it all bandaged up, and have been slathering it with neosporin every night and every morning. On the plus side, I got a lot of work done. We planted tomatoes and peppers and squash and pumpkins and cucumbers and sunflowers. And some other types of flowers too. I still have to mulch the garden, and install some sprinklers for the new flowers. But it's fun. I enjoy it. Except I'm not going to be doing any digging for a while now. Sorry to hear about the hand, but good on ya for the veggies. With food prices where they are and where they're going, I wish I had land for a garden. Also, gardening is a good workout in and of itself. As to the blisters, have you tried soaking your hand in Epsom salts 20 minutes or so a day? It sometimes helps.

Some people who installed it were rewarded with machines that would just reboot themselves endlessly. But all they needed was a "bugfix" .

teh bunneh Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Sorry to hear about the hand, but good on ya for the veggies. With food prices where they are and where they're going, I wish I had land for a garden. Also, gardening is a good workout in and of itself. Yeah, it's fun. Don't know how many veggies we'll get out of it this year -- this is the first year we've tried it at our new house, and if past experience is any guide it'll be a year or two before we get the hang of this location's particular vaguaries. Have you guys tried container gardening? That's what we did at our condo, and it worked pretty well. As to the blisters, have you tried soaking your hand in Epsom salts 20 minutes or so a day? It sometimes helps. Not blisters, blister (singular). Spoilers cause the following description is icky and shouldn't be read by people with queasy stomachs... See, a large chunk of the top layer of skin on my palm basically separated and tore off, leaving this big flap of skin. I didn't even notice it at first (the palm of my hand kinda hurt, but I figured I was just getting a small blister, no big deal). I was wearing gloves at the time, and when I finally took my glove off was when I noticed it. It was seeping a clear fluid, not blood. I went inside, washed it off as best as I could (hurt like a mutha), then got some surgical scissors and trimmed off most of the loose skin. I poured some hydrogen peroxide on it, which burned like a summagun (it seemed to cauterize the wound, actually). I figured the palm of the hand was a bad place for a bandage, so I brushed some "liquid skin" on it. Which also hurt, a lot. And it didn't really help -- the liquid skin started peeling off almost immediately. So now I'm smearing it in Neosporin and covering it with an extra-large bandaid. Yesterday it bled a little but that seems to have stopped. It looks pretty gross. If it starts to get infected or doesn't start healing, I'll go see the doc. Otherwise I think I'm doing everything I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Bill, I'd go see a doc anyway; there may be some therapy things he/she would advise to keep the skin healing up straight so you don't lose some mobility to scarring that might form. I doubt there's a problem but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Cancer (the Hero Boards poster, not the star sign or family of diseases); even if it seems under control, a visit to the doc may be a good idea. Of course, I type that as someone who avoids visiting the doctor unless I'm actually losing blood, and sometimes even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Not blisters, blister (singular). Spoilers cause the following description is icky and shouldn't be read by people with queasy stomachs... I did the same thing to my palm a couple months back. I used a large bandaid with neosporin as well. As long as I kept changing the bandage and keeping it clean, it healed up pretty fast. The skin on your palm usually heals pretty well and since it was just a blister, you'll probably be fine. Note this comes from someone who only visited the ER three times between 1 & 18. And one of those times was a friend's mom. I already knew how to clean and dress a wound at five. And what's a small copay for peace of mind?

Cancer Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Yeah, she's "average looking" in the Hollywood sense. On an absolute scale, if this woman walked down the street in your neighborhood in RL, she'd have a substantial fraction of the heterosexual male population following her drooling. Even the "ugly" chicks on TV shows look a lot better than average compared to people riding the bus home in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
