Hello to all. Taking a sanity break at work. Not a good couple of days around here.
Today's "Under your Skin" Question(s):
Recently I pruned trees and carried limbs to the curb. That evening I found a splinter and the next day another splinter.
Do you remember anything that gave you splinters? Used to get splinters all of the time playing as a kid. Not so much anymore. One I remember in particular was when I was a teen. I went running down the hardwood hallway at home in my socks. As I slid for several feet, I caught a bog splinter and it went right in the ball of my foot and broke. There was no way I was going to let anyone dig it out, so I hid it from my parents until it went away on its own. Still shudder to think about that one!
Ever used the old alcohol and a needle method to coax out an embedded splinter? Yes, it's been done to me.
How difficult did/would you find giving yourself injections if you had to, (like some diabetics do, for instance)? Can't do it. Just can't...
Seen any weird or funny or memorable tattoos? Not a fan. Kills me to see them on my kid, but she's an adult and she seems to be placing them with discretion.
