Last night I learned some very important lessons. As a public service announcement, I'd like to pass along this information as it pertains to Carving when you have a cold:

1) If the cold medicine box warns against driving or operating heavy machinery, one should always consider a carving blade "heavy machinery".

2) Iv your node is plugged ub, whed you try to carve wit a magnivying light, your mout-breeding WILL cause the leds to fog up.

3) Stabbing yourself with a hypodermic needle intended for a horse WILL result in bleeding. A lot of bleeding. (See #1)

4)Acetone fumes can do wonders for a stuffed up nose.

If I can prevent even one sick carver from making these mistakes, it was all worth it. ;-)

Ummm....Wow.

Hey, as long as there was no emergency room visit, everything is just fine! ;)

Looks like somebody has earned the "Boo-boo Letterbox"! :D
I hope you're feeling better HP.

Friends don't let friends carve sick.

Oh, my! *handing HP a kleenex, a gauze wrap and a hot cup of tea* I hope you feel better soon!! Fingers, noses and all!

Yeah, but if you stay sick for a really long time like I did, you may not have a choice. Sometimes your addictions come before your health.

Yes the addiction can be overwhelming. When else but a sick day does a working person get all day home alone to carve.
