My daughter busted open her chin when she was 3 and the ER doc glued it shut. Said it was quicker and less painful than stitches.

Any lingering scar? I was tripped down the stairs when I was 9 (brotherly love!) and received 22 stitches by a total hack in the ER, and I still have a divot nigh-impossible to shave without nicking myself.

Nothing that I notice. I should take a closer look. She's 7 now, and I haven't thought about it in ages. I guess that means it healed well.

The best part about that was my wife came to meet us at the ER. Knowing that she doesn't handle blood and pain well, I gave the ER folks a heads up and they kept her busy with paperwork until the glue was dry. We had to pin my daughter down while he did it, so it wasn't the most pleasant thing, but at least my wife wasn't there to make it more difficult.

WHERE'S MY FREE HEALTHCARE!?!?!

Decided that spending $150 for an emergency room visit (plus 10%) wouldn't be worth it for them to squirt some bacitracin on the wound and ask me if I had a recent tetanus shot.

Two nurses work here and they both said "yep, woudn't have done anything other than disinfect and bandage that!".

It'll be fine,but my fingertip will be a bit flat from now on.

I took a gnarly dive when I was about 6 or 7 right onto the edge of a crooked bathroom tile and cut open my chin.

The doctor accidentally glued himself to me while he was fixing it up. I have a really small scar from it, even though the cut was like 5 cm long.

Anything requiring 22 stitches is gonna be nasty more likely than not. For reference in the past month in the ED I didn't put more than about 8 stitches in any wound. Including a guy who got his hand caught in a rotating bladed piece of machinery and cut all his fingers to the bone (consulted ortho for help on that one for sure)

The eldest child decided to run in grandma's house in socks on a hardwood floor.

Slip and whack head into the corner of the baseboard.

Several staples to close her scalp.

Unless she loses her hair or shaves her head, nobody will ever notice the honkin' sized scar on her noggin.

Symptoms include swelling of the brain (encephalitis), numbness, muscle weakness, coma, and death.
I was told by a doc that the only real difference between krazy glue and the medical grade stuff is that it's made to sting less. Dunno how accurate that is, but.

I had to be sliced open from nearly hip to hip for an emergency surgery, and is was glued and stapled. You can see the scars from the staples, but barely the incision itself, and I scar easily. Super glue is the poo poo.

In an emergency, feminine pads and duct tape make an excellent bandage.

He just asked what we were having for dinner and if he could have some, since he'd glued himself to me.

Unrelated, I made pulled pork yesterday/today. Unfortunately no smoke as I don't have the facilities, but holy poo poo why haven't I done this before? 12 hours at ~110C until the meat hit 90C. Porky goodness.

I let my chicken stock simmer overnight, rear end opposed to pulling it after 3 hours, the results are glorious:



And with whole chickens 77c per lb at my local HEB all week, there's a lot more stock to be made!

Since the deal is limit 2 per person, I'll probably just pick up 2 every day on the way home. Gonna have so much chicken glace I won't even know what to do with it.

I can't tell if you're trolling, if you are simply unaware of who and what has to pay to get you chicken that cheap, or if you do know but just don't care.


I should not have done press-ups last night - when slinging up babby this morning I heard a ripping sound which I assumed was a sling strap going through a tightener, only to discover at work that my shirt (beneath my jumper) has a great rent in it on the back from my mighty thews. I'm like the Incredible Hulk. To be fair, it is a very old, worn shirt...

Oh hey I carbonated some oranges in my iSi the other night. The end result was pretty cool, but I think you need a really sweet orange to offset the bitterness of the carbonic acid. The fizziness of the oranges was pretty neat though. Now I just need to find a practical application of the technique.

Of course it won't be worth it. You're tilting at discounted chickens. You could type up a giant carepost, and best case scenario is at the end of the day you can look at yourself in the mirror and be proud that you made someone feel bad for buying budget friendly poultry. It won't change anything, but thats ok because judging from what I see on the net, that's not the purpose of social activism anymore. It's about letting others know you care deeply about something, deeply enough to change your facebook picture to a chicken wearing a hoodie with POULTRY2012 scrawled in block letters underneath.

I have no idea where I'm going with this.

I'm actually wearing a rubber bracelet like the LIVE STRONG ones, but mine says RIGHTS 4 CHICKENS. I use it to score with the ladeez.

I'm not quite sure where you are going with it either!

Anyway, don't quite agree with your analysis. If someone just sees "hey, chicken for 77c/lb! Bargain" and buys away without realising quite what they are doing, then some eddication miiiight just change their minds a little bit. I know that there are people here whose views on things have been changed by what they've read - just think of Wiggles and his Smithfield Farms-shaped soapbox, for instance.

Lastly, you're an asshat! So there. :colbert:
