Another day in the U.S.A! Enjoy your coffee this morning.

[SpiritAlight 1]

Bonjour Carlawarla et al!

Off to make my own cup-a-joe.

Yummmmm....

[SpiritAlight 1]

On wait!

I need !!

Trimming the bushes that had hidden the front door yesterday, I didn't realize I got a thorn in my thumb.

The skin there is so think and the tiny thorn so deep...how the H do I get it out??

(without lopping off my thumb, thank you very much)

ooo coffee, ty carla

just saw a goose fight outside, two pairs of canadian geese fighting over a pond

[Flames9_RN 358]

ya, we send all the rowdy geese to the USA!!!

[rhymeswithcandi 0]

Good morning!! So strange Carla, I actually HAVE that cup and saucer set - it was a Rialto free gift at Shopper's Drug Mart like forever ago... weird.

***

..or the geese just get rowdy when they come here... Imagine if they knew they weren't protected here? They'd freak if they knew that American's talk about shooting them and eating them for dinner.

Spirit, I'm not sure how to get a thorn out... if it's really teeny maybe soak it in warm salt water to draw it out??

Peroxide will also help it move to the surface, eventually it will make its way out

Wow I just read the vent thread, haven't done that for a week or so.

Anyway, still don't have a line on anywhere to live in Florida, have received 1 email reply so far and that was from someone who will only rent with a 12 month lease (we want like a 3 month lease while we look around and find a place to buy).

Today we are going to the Royal Bank to sign up for their centura account. I don't much care for the bank, going to one that is.

Bahahaha!

Thanks so much Flames, Rhymeswithcandy and Trailmix.

I will look up those sites Flames, and I have salt and I have peroxide.

I am NOT a wuss. Hahahaha! Yes, it is time to reap the rewards of that damned tetanus shot.

Maybe I can even get the thing to explode out of my thumb with the right chemical reaction.

Ooooouuu...I....feel....queazy....bleh

Please someone come over and remove this thorn.

I tried the needle (without sterilizing it Flames, are you proud?), and cannot continue being a masochist (before reading all of your helpful responses).

Now, I will try a little bit more, after I try the peroxide, and then a salt thumb bath.

Oh, the drama...

Just a thought but is there anyone in the neighbourhood named Androcles?

I ususally use a needle or a fine pair of tweezers. If it's deep, then wait a few days and it will eventually be dissolved or expelled from the body. You'll get a slightly painful pus-filled sac that will eventually reach the surface. If you are healthy and your immune system is working it's not a problem. If you don't have peroxide use rubbing alcohol. You could always go to a medical clinic or hospital, after all there is nationalized health care in the US isn't there?

Oh my god am I bored today....

I should be thankful since I have had to work at home every night this week after finishing up at the office. So, 5 straight days of 12 hour days, I should be relaxing, but I am just plain bored bored bored.

[SpiritAlight 1]

Get some bubble solution, go outside and blow bubbles.

No one will pass by you without smiling and/or making a comment.

It is so good!!

go and read the heated "illegals" controversy in Off Topic.

I dove in there today and am stirring it up somewhat.

Hee, hee.
