Coffee happened. It's been a while since I could last have a cup of coffee before leaving the house.

Shashigai showed me how to use a sewing machine and I made something and did not stitch my finger.

I'd laugh, but my mom did that once.  And she was an experienced seamstress.

My mum is an experienced seamstress, she did it a few times. Long, fast, boring stretches to sew, that is were the danger is.
Always was afraid one day I would do that to me. When it happened, it was no worse than any splinter. Pretty amazing, to have a needle going up and down a finger, leaving a hole on both sides, one of them through the nail.
The thread was a bit weird.  :autism:

I sliced my fingernail with a jigsaw once. I suppose it would be less damage than that.

Ouch!!!

No neat edgings of the wound either, with a jigsaw. And sawdust sucking up the blood right in the wound. We need CBC around to marvel about this.

Try crushing a light bulb with your fingers. I still have the scar to remind me of that mishap.

My godson crushed a Christmas ball, at the age of nearly two, ending up covered in shimmering glass and blood.
For months he would freeze in his movements, look at his hands with glazy eyes, muttering: "ball....broken". Then he would lift his head again and go on with what he was doing.

I have a a scar left from stepping into buried broken beer-bottles. The wound healed weird, so I had to get it checked every other week for months. That in a time when you could not make appointments, just had to go sit in the waiting-room, and hope it was your turn within two hours. Ahh, the good old times.

Received my Loop Magnifier in the mail today.  It is everything I had hoped it would be.  Looked at a few of my rock and crystal specimens with it and saw a whole lot more to them than with just my eyes or a regular magnifying glass.    :dwave: :woohoo: :celebrate:

My mom said everyone had to learn how to sew, even me. I saw how useful it was (it costs mucho bux to have a hem done or a seam fixed so I've always owned a sewing machine). My mother worked as a seamstress when she was 12 to help family income.
To me it's just like working with a jigsaw which I did in shop class. I have never put a needle through but I have put a post the size of a box nail through my finger. I was so fascinated that I just stared at it for a little while. I was playing with it and a rubber band during fifth grade class.
It was more painful when I stepped on a 1.25 inch roofing nail in my attic. It went through the ball of my foot all the way to the head. It didn't bleed very much but I was worried because it was rusty and had roof gunk on it. It didn't get infected, but I did limp for a while after that.

My credit rating is good. With ADHD and marginal employment, it was very bad at one time. But I've paid off most of my "buy groceries with credit card" debt and so many on time payments that when my pre-scheduled payment didn't go through and I got a late notice, it doesn't seem to have counted for much - I think I lost two points. I don't get the "apply for this" notices any more because they can't find me in Canada.

Kids had a good time with the science experiments today. They learned Newton's second law...and later, through the socratic method, they figured out what makes objects float.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.
