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.

Foodie/Beverage Question(s):

Multiple answers welcome: "At the grocery store there are too many varieties of __ fresh veggies_________________________,

and not enough varieties of ______ deli cheeses _____________________."

Just To:
"I have endless patience with _______ Frankly, not too much! ____________________."

Hope everyone has a great day!
