If you like the funny, read this. This man has the funny and he is not afraid to use it.

So I have a bad habit of picking at hangnails. I looked, but there is no support group for people like me, so I’ll just deal with it on my own. I just can’t leave a bit of skin hanging there, it has got to go! So I often end up with bloody painful fingertips cause “when I do something I do it right”
But I might have cured myself, I’ve been doing it all my life, but this is the first time I’ve gotten an infection from it. It was pretty impressive; my fingertip was swollen up like a cartoon character after he hits his thumb with a hammer. Middle finger too, would have been great for flipping the bird.
A scalpel, antiseptic and a lot of pain and swearing has cured my poor finger, but I may have enough deterrent to leave them alone for a while.
“…remember the hangnail of ’06? heh, that was somthin’”
I listened to Stephen King’s “The Shining” recently. The reader was quite good and the story had me jumping at shadows late at night. I’ve decided that books are far more frightening than movies to me. It is because it’s all in your head, you imagine the world and it seems very near to you, where as at a scary moves there is a level of detachment.
I listened to “Salem’s Lot” too, not nearly as well written, and not as scary either, but it was worth listening to.
I’m on “Journey to the Center of the Earth” right now, the power went out for a couple of hours yesterday, and I sat near my kerosene lamps and did some leather work while I listened, it was quite nice, I almost regretted it when the power came back on.
Got a lot to do this week, and next before wed. Salute!
