That last infinite thread had a whole 7 comments on it! I know you can do better then that. Let’s start off by you answering this question: when was the last time you bleed for any non-standard reason? Are you still healing from that wound? My last major bleed out was when I had a cat on my lap and one of my other cats spazzed out, ran into the room, jumped on the coffee table, fell of it, and ran back out of the room, it was rather startling. The cat on my lap was spooked and jumped up and over my head onto the couch just as fast as he could, slicing my left arm up. This was back at the end of January and I can still faintly see the marks on my arm.
Here’s a new new rule: every time I get a new Patreon member, I’ll ask them what kind of content they want, and we’ll cater to just their needs and desires for a bit. No matter how ridiculous or illegal.
I need the income because I want to quit my current job and start a cat farm. Or at the very least just not have to work in an office with no windows. To do that, I’m going to need a few more patrons. That number of new ones is higher than I’d like, but also lower than what I expected when I did the math.
Not quite sure what constitutes a “standard” reason for bleeding. Should I count the time last month when I somehow got two blades in the safety razor at once and nicked myself worse than recent experience? And while I thought I had it stopped, the cuts kept opening back up for most of the rest of the day?
standard would be something that happens like clockwork, say maybe every month?
why do you think your wounds weren’t healing? Kryptonite nearby?
Earlier today I managed to nick myself with a hand axe. Does that count?
100% absolutely. were you actively using it when the nick happened or was it when you were moving it?
I usually wear the ones that were acquired during hard labor with pride. The shameful ones are when I picked up a thing to put it away and it gets me.
No, I nicked myself with it the same way I cut myself with a katana: getting it out of the sheath. The only difference was the axe was a tiny nick and the katana required 7 stitches.
I once cut myself on a katana, but it didn’t require stitches! In my case I was drunk and cutting an orange on it, which was dumb.
Do you still have that sword?
I do. I intended to go back to Kenjutsu class but never got around to it and just continued on with Kenpo. Still have the sword, but I haven’t practiced with it in years. The worst part about cutting myself was right in the middle of class. Embarrassing as hell, but our teacher explained it as “There are two kinds of Kenjutsu students: Those who have been cut and those who will be cut”.
There was this one time I was trying to split wood in fire logs. I had already spent money on the the maul and the two wedges that I used for splitting. The splitting wood was very snarled, making it difficult to split. We had found a bucket tooth from a back-hoe or excavator; a wedge like metal piece with a tooth void…… I tried using this back-tooth as a wedge, until hitting it squarely with a sledge hammer cause a chunk to fly off from the back-hoe tooth and hit me in my right shin. I saw a flood of blood come off my right shin. I thought a chunk of wood had hit my jean pant leg and just caused bleeding; it did not hurt that much….. I had to use a pair of tweezers to dig it out of my shin….. a chunk of steel the size of a lima bean had sheared off the bucket tooth and embedded itself in my shin….. Imagine a chunk of steel, shaped like a lima bean, except all the curves were razor sharp. I have a weird dark spot the size of a Tootsie pop on my right shin as an odd scar on my right shin. I am pissed that I lost that gnarly chunk of steel in the various household moves that I had. That was a token worth keeping
OUCH!
I was outside working on my car in the dark. I tripped over my toolbox and the latch sliced the top of my foot, 3 inches. Wound healed but the scar is pink and still visible 4 months later. Used to that stuff faded quickly and I’d only see the pale scars after I sunburn.
I actually noticed something like that myself, had a cat get spooked while we were being chill on the couch and she scratched my arm up pretty fierce, not his fault though! I still have a pink reminder of that 3 months later.
I wonder if, for me at least, its an age thing? Im 43. Is that something that happens as one gets older?
I believe it is, yes, wounds take longer to heal and leave a longer lasting reminder
I’ve still got a scar on the back of my leg from getting it caught in my car door years ago. I think I was 50 at the time.
About two months ago, my cat decided that he needed some very personal pets- something he rarely does. When he jumped up onto my lap, one of his rear talons sliced my calf about three inches long. He did it through my jeans and I didn’t feel it. The next day, I noticed a trail of dried blood and a three-inch gash. I use Vaseline Intensive Care lotion. It’s amazing stuff. I slathered it on repeatedly. It healed in about two days, but it looked like it might be getting infected. So, I kept using the Vaseline. It finally cleared up and the scab fell off. Stupid cat. He’s lucky that he’s cute. I constantly threaten him that I’ll skin him with a dull butter knife and turn his hide into a pair of slippers. He used to be concerned when I said it to him. Now, he just ignores me and keeps texting his stupid kitty friends…
They used to say you had to let wounds dry out, but I guess that’s not the case anymore. I had a couple cases of skin cancer cut off and they wanted me to put aquaphor on it every night. Healed fast, not much scar.
Check it. Already more than doubled the comments of the last infinite thread.
The sky’s the limit!
My computer died. I had to buy a new one. JOY I feel like I am bleeding out of my ass.
I’m so happy you’re back online!
Me, too. But what a fucking HASSLE! So many accounts I had make new passwords for! Including this one! FFUUUUU……. LOL
I use Bitwarden for all that, it has a super handy dandy hot key of “ctrl+shift+L” and it autopopulates all the login fields. it remembers them all, so now I have 400+ passwords that are like 50 characters long.
