@dadpad,
How's poor babyPad today? any better? have you got your thumb in a sling? has it been kissed yet?
@JPB,
If it was a fishhook I could get it out in a jiffy.
Hurts, though.
Monday morning splinter update, please, dadperson!
@margo,
Poor dadpad...I do hope you are getting all the sympathy and mushy wushy wishes you need.

Happy Monday
@ehBeth,
How's our wee sick one today????????
Need a smooch?
You are all wonderful.
I managed to drag myself out of bed and manfully forced myself off to work.
My thumb, and a few other interesting areas got a good kissin last night. Made me feel soooo much better, so i left the splinter in.... just in case.
Thats not really true, but i cannot get the damn thing out. I have a hole in my thumb where I've been digging at it. I've decided to use rogers method, its always worked in the past.
@dadpad,
Dunno what Roger's method is, but a dob of magnoplasm over the hole, covered by a bandaid works.
Cos magnoplasm sucks.

I'll have to read back to find out what Roger's method is, dp. Good luck! Ya gotta get that bugger out!
@dlowan,
True, but less rugged and manly.
I wouldn't want to be seen as a Nancy.
You should get to bed, for sake of all aspects of your health. And i suspect you have to work tomorrow, too.
So what happened with the splinter, dadpad? You never finished the story.
Did gangrene set in? Did the hand have to be amputated? Is it too hard to type now? Is that why he hasn't updated us???
(We worry, you know.

)
I'm telling you - he's been rushed to the hospital - prolly need to be airlifted to some big city hispotal! (or something!)
The damn thing is still there! Its only a problem when I grab something in a specific way.
Margo Our hospital is a wonderful place but like most hospital lots of people go in there and never come back. I aint goin' there just in case.
@dadpad,
Oh if only I were there with my electric kitchen knife. I'd get it out of there in ten seconds or less.
@dadpad,
Tsk, tsk, dadpad.
So what are you going to do about getting that thing out of your thumb?
