Important safety tip, thank you, Egon.

[truepenny]

When pouring hot water from teakettle into mug, it is important to:
(a.) Turn the kitchen lights on rather than just wandering about in the crepuscular late-afternoon murk.
(b.) Pay attention to what you're doing.
(c.) Remember that you have sucky depth perception, stupid Mole.

The good news is, it's:
(a.) My left hand. (If the smart hand is the dominant hand, does that make the other hand the submissive hand? ... On second thought, never mind.)
(b.) Only a first-degree burn.
(c.) Feeling much better this morning and no longer making it painful to type.

On the other hand, so to speak:
(a.) Ow.
(b.) Yes, I really am that clumsy.
(c.) Ow.

OW! Heal fast!

Thank you!

It really is much better this morning, down to "mild sunburn" from "covered in BEEEEEEEEEES!"

...okay, I don't *mean* to laugh at your pain, but the Eddie reference was funny.

Also, hey, you got to use "crepuscular" in a post, so there's an upside.

Ow! My sympathies. I've done this more than once.

There's a reason it's called the sinister hand. It's smart enough not to get burned.

Leftie: Yeah baby, that's me, hangin' back, lettin' Dex my Man take all the glory. When the bullet comes, it'll come for him, not me.

*sympathies and lightbulbs!*

And remember, don't cross the streams.

My sympathies.

A couple of times, I've fallen and braced myself with my left hand -- and then not had use of that hand for a while. I'm lefthanded.

The ordinary everyday French for left hand is main gauche. This makes me think of sword-stop daggers every single time, and therefore makes me happy.

I hope your burn gets better as quickly as possible.

Ow, and please exercise more caution. In the meantime, nice shootin', Tex!

[torrilin.livejournal.com]

Ow!

This is why I use a teapot. It's a bigger target.

Ah, I burnt my dominant finger while draining my noodles. Use Aloe! It helps. Just be careful not to put your fingers near your mouth, like me. o_O;
