Shaving - Danger Pay Required!

Some of you may recall that I had a post entitled "The Art of Shaving" posted on 15 January 2006. Well, this is more about that same painful topic - literally painful. I just got out of the shower, getting ready for tonight's festivities with Car 69, and now, instead of one gross suppurating wound on my left lateral posterior ankle from two weeks ago (that has gotten infected) I now also sport a bit of bright red blood trickling down my right ankle in the exact same place, from just ten minutes ago. Wonderful...

Those blasted ankles! You would think that the fatty flexibility of the upper thighs would be what gets on in trouble, but no, it is the skinny, bony ankles with that one vein running down the outer very bony portion that gets me all too often. Ouch.

So now I need to cover both up. The left side injury is really just too sensitive and disgusting to leave open - the wound is just awful and quite visible. It was a small cut originally and then the next shaving sojourn took a layer of skin off on top of that and I had to put something over it and it was on too tight, too long and now the whole thing is terribly infected.

The right one is just a cut but these are much like paper cuts - super sensitive and sting at the slightest provocation. So one hates these kinds of injuries. Big huge lacerations are not nearly so uncomfortable - you go into shock and suddenly don't feel a thing! But little tiny cuts are quite painful - annoyingly so and of course with real paper cuts on your fingers, every subsequent piece of paper you touch will find its way into that unprotected cut!

OUCH!

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
