I hear ya.
Remember in our youth when we used to shrug off any kind of injury? Not any
more.
I recently deveoped a huge blister on the side of my foot. I have no idea
how it happened. I was doing some extra hard work for a couple days. But
did not notice the blister till a couple days later. So I have a large
section, on the inside of my foot, without skin. It is raw, oozing flesh.
And it generates lots of pain if it touches anything.
I put on some antibiotic cream, a bandage and foam tape. That foam tape is
just what is needed. It cushions the area. And some booze, ibuprofen and no
shoes. I have been wearing slippers for a week now.
I will toast you with some tequila shots later. You keep your booze in a
safe? Must be the good stuff!
What happened to your toe? Drop a countertop on it?

Something like that happpened to me too. I pushed it for a couple days. I
guess we just don't handle those extra stresses like we used to.

Lots of pain is a GOOD sign, it means your nerve endings

My wife, the nurse, looked at it tonight after I got out of the bath. Her

She never had a good bedside manner.

Right, understood that we all can do other things while on the mend. I
was just wondering if it was painful enough in the following days that
wearing a shoe or working/walking on it was a problem. I have not
really considered having the nail(s) removed as they really dont
bother me however your "nautilus" description has popped into my head
a couple times when clipping.
To me, it just seems like a pretty gruesome procedure of tearing a
nail from the nail bed, *shudder*. Perhaps for me, the mental trauma
would dwarf the physical haha.

Ft. Stockton? The one in Texas? I thought they made that St. G stuff
in the panhandle.
I never knew there was anything out that way except Big Bend and dust.
Thanks for the tip, though. That should take care of the family get

Funny thing that.
I am a firm believer in quality. IOW, I would rather have a 8 oz filet
mignon than 20 oz of hamburger.
But scotch is a funny thing, as is brandy. It is what you like that is
important.
I have been a participant in blind-fold taste tests. It is amazing

When you take away the hype, packaging and marketing bullshit and

Zoikes,
I see a skin doctor for skin cancer screening (outside/roofs/etc) and
she has noted that I have the fungus in my big toe nails that you see
in that advert where the fungus lifts up the toe nail like the hood of
a car. She has stated that that medicine is no guarantee and is very
expensive and the best option is a referral to a podiatrist to have
the nail removed from the root and allow it to regrow. I was unsure of
the pain after such a procedure. My toes have been horribly abused
over the years. I cant count how many times I have broken my big toes.
A lot of summer barefoot, running, roots, stumps, door jambs as a kid.
They said the fungus is often directly related to trauma, which I have
had much.
That said, I was out in the garden last summer with a pair of slip on
shoes and lost my footing, one of the offending nail's caught on a
seam in the toe of the shoe and after enduring an excruciating amount
of pain for a few seconds while I regained my balance I went to the
house to find a bloody sock. Needless to say over the next weeks the
nail fell off ( I cut the last of it off ). A year later it has now
grown back but seems to have the fungus again. The thought of having
one ripped out by the root is untenable to me.
So I take it its like an "out of work" kind of situation?
Mark
I had one of those fungused-up toenails for about 10 years, and got the same
warnings from my doctor. Nasty-looking nail, quarter-inch thick, pukey
yellow color with black streaks, and crumbled when you clipped it. I read on
the internet that it could be vanquished with Vick's Vapo-Rub, and damned if
it didn't work. I slathered it on nightly at bedtime, applying under the
nail as well as on the surface. Visible improvement in a couple weeks, GONE
in about 4-5 months. Cheap enough to try, give it a shot.

Oh yea. During a wine tasting trip though Nova Scotia, we were the
lucky couple to be traveling with another couple, the female warrior
in that relationship thought herself to be a 'knowledgeable
connoisseur'. You see, she made wine once. From a kit.
The words coming from her mouth included: nose, finish, nuttiness
(apropos in this case) floral, flighty, friendly etc.
I was aghast. I didn't taste any nuts or flowers. Her husband, (still
in the navy), whispered to me: "she'll drink anything, even her own
plunk."... a rather refreshing comment from someone who is by-and-
large always a gentleman.

Among my favourites are the the Islay whiskies such as Ardbeg or Laphroaig
- lovely smoky/peaty taste/aroma but it depends a bit on my mood. I do
have a selection of other single malts which I enjoy, and a couple of
liqueurs.

I've heard that too.
I take the view that if it doesn't hurt leave it alone.
It may look horrible but I don't usually go without shoes or slippers and
never without socks [1] so I don't worry about it.
[1] Ok, before the wise guys jump in, I don't wear socks in the bath or
shower or in bed.

Me, too. I love bourbon. I like strong, heavy bodied bourbons.
Taste testing those at a cigar tasting, it was marvelous for me to
prefer Evan Williams to almost all of the high powered stuff. I
actually preferred some of the expensive stuff, but didn't like the
$150 tag on the bottle.
> When you take away the hype, packaging and marketing bullshit and

True enough. In a trip to the wine country, I found an excellent
tasting guide. It was the end of her day, and she had enough of all
the pseudo connoisseurs. When she got to me, I had been tasting wine
for several hours. I confided to her that I didn't know much about
wine.
She was elated at my confession. So she shared her best advice with
me.
"Do you know how to tell if a wine is a good wine?".
"Nope".
"If you enjoyed it when you drank it, it was a good wine".
Hell, even I could master that method.

Requirements for US vodka.
You can use anything to produce the base alcohol (grain, potatoes,
rice, etc and yeast.
Triple distill to get 195 minimum proof.
Cut with distilled water to get desired proof, bottle and sell.
Gin same as above except double distill and add juniper berry.
My vodka must be 100 proof, my scotch 86 proof.
After that, I'm negotiable.

Curious! Was she an excellent, Tasting Guide, or an excellent tasting guide?

Uh huh, I have been waiting to tell you, I saw 1.75L bottles of SGR at HEB
in Fredericksburg for $5.99 per bottle. I was shocked to see it that cheap,
typically a grocery store sells it for at leas $3-$4 per bottle more. That
said, we were in the heart of wine country and there were more places to buy
wine than gas stations. ;~)

I will always use my time in a way that it's not wasted.

My mother used to make wine from grapes we grew in the back yard.
Wasn't good wine and she didn't pretend that it was but it would get
you drunk. Growing up during Prohibition and having a grape arbor one
learned such skills.
I'm sure she knew more about wine making than your lady, but she never
pretended to know anything about wine--to her it was a poor substitute
for bourbon.

17 year old grandson had that done to both at the same time. For various odd
reasons, I was paying for it. I made his father go in the room with him, but
I stayed in the waiting room cringing. I left town before the shots wore off
so I'm not sure how that came out, other than knowing he didn't get scotch.

Hell, it's a straight shot down I-10 for you ... only about 4 hours. :)
Remember it well ... the first "full Monte" naked female lady I ever saw in
my life was when swimming at Comanche Springs in Fort Stockton. About
1948-49, I was six, and the family was traveling with Dad, who was working
in the area on a seismograph crew while in college.
... have never been the same since. :)

Ahhh, yes ... Laphroaig! Haven't had a sip in 45 years, but I think I could
still pick it out in a blind taste test. Had a friend when I lived in the UK
from Carluke, Scotland, not that far from Glasgow. Spent many an hour with
him sipping Laphroaig, at his recommendation, while playing chess.
We felt so damn *intellectual* in those days! :)

Ft. Stockton? The one in Texas? I thought they made that St. G stuff
in the panhandle.
I never knew there was anything out that way except Big Bend and dust.
Thanks for the tip, though. That should take care of the family get
togethers as far as the vino goes.

Yeah apparently they grow grapes out there in excess, at least one winery in
Brenham goes out there monthly to buy grapes to supplement their crop.
