I was quartering some carrots for some stir-fry Wednesday night and almost sliced the tip of my finger off. Only got 3 stitches but my left had is useless but I can type with my right hand so please cut me a little slack. SUPER BORED!

Stupid carrots.  That's what you get for eating vegetables.  

I feel your pain. Took this nail off between a 200# skidsteer wheel and the steel hub when I wasn't expecting that type of weight a month ago. Hit it at work 2 days ago between a clamp and the deck. That will make you say ugly things...

Sometimes, injuries like that are just God's way of saying, "Slow down, pull over.  Sit on the couch, watch TV, and drink a beer.".  Consider it Devine intervention.  

Speedy recovery!

There is a glove I have that is made of some woven material maybe kevlar that is supposed to protect me when I am slicing food.

Is that Andy Devine? As Jingles..."come on Wild Bill, wait for me." I realize that anyone on this site under the age of about 68 will not have the slightest idea of what I am referring to. If you damage a body part you will whack it again multiple times so you get the message...about sitting on the couch with a cold IPA in hand.

Yeah it'd be a Lorena Bobbit special.

I'm gonna do what my Mom said from now own, hold carrots still with a fork down on the cutting board.  And all these years I thought I had great common sense, nope.
