I splashed warm grease on my hand while producing potato chips, it took a long time to heal. I said a couple of alternative phrases, the pot and the grease had some new names.

Amazing the relief those alternative phrases give isn't it? :lol:

I did the exact same thing a while back while making french fries. I had an ugly hand for a long time. I also gave the pan and grease some colorful new names, too colorful to mention here. :lol:

Well, I got punched in the eye today. The side is incredibly swollen and it's dark brown bruised with a mixture of grey. Hurts like hell.

@Jacob, they say if you put a beefsteak on a black eye(in your case a brown and grey eye) the swelling will go down.

I am concerned about my dog. She hasent been doing too good the last couple of weeks, I found her a few minutes ago lying on the floor, her eyes shut and hardly breathing. I think she is dying. Probably wont last the night. But she is very old, 21 years. I put her in her box and tried to make her comfortable and I have a hole dug for her final resting place. She was a good dog, I will miss her. :cry:

Ah, I woke up and I think I'll leave it so it'll go down itself.

And boy, at least she lived for a good 21 years. A real tear jerking comment you put there, may she rest in peace.

Hey there Bighuey. I remember you posted this a couple of weeks ago and she pulled through. I hope, if she is not in any pain or distress, that she does so again. If not I hope her passing is nice and peaceful and am very sorry for your loss.

I dont think she will pull through this time, shes in a pretty bad way. If she is still here in the morning, I may have to murder her. That will be rough. Thanks for your concern.

Today I was peacefully 'lane swimming' when an elderly gentleman threw a wobbly and told me I was swimming out of sequence!!!! (I wasn't - I had to swim 'around' the non-swimming swimmers ....) annoyingly, it broke my concentration and i lost count of my lengths. But, hey - in the scheme of things it didn't really matter.

Ugh! I hate bad dreams. You just can't stop thinking about em all day, and it drives you crazy. Gives me the shivers just thinking about having one.

I have bad dreams lots of times, they're pretty awful and they make you so paranoid.

This was yesterday but I had one hell of a scare. I was in the bedroom and I heard a POP! in the front room and started smelling smoke, thought this old shack was burning down. It was a power surge, luckily most of my stuff in on surge strips, and the only thing that got fried was my microwave and 2 of the surge strips. Those things really stink when they blow. I can still smell the smoke. The microwave is no big deal, you can get them here for about 10 bucks. But it was scary.
, I thought I might be living on the beach in a dug-out when I smelled the smoke.

My Lord, Bighuey, that must have been quite as scare .... so glad it wasn't more serious, the forums really wouldn't be the same without you & your entertaining posts.
