Chopping veggies for dinner... and using a Cutco knife, sliced my thumb pretty good... BandAids holding but not for long!

Digging out the SuperGlue now! Wouldn't want to waste a night in the ER JUST to get stitches... hell, I could do that at home!

Which I did 3 yrs ago when I had a gaping cut on my right big toe (very edge where the bone is) when I dropped a glass cover to a oven Tupperware!

Man, you can tell I'm a motor head. I read that as liquid WRENCH.

And I wondered "Now WHY would someone tell them to put THAT on a cut." :confused::eek:

As long as your thumb is... I was eyeing the glass of Duckhorn '89 wine glass as I took that fateful knife-cut!

It was like... hmm, this veggie's texture is quite like flesh.... :Q It is flesh!

All is good, a little tape a little glue and all is well... except the wife who faints at the sight of blood.

electrical or duct tape. make sure the wound is closed together and clean, and tape it fairly tight.
