Can I get some pity here?

[XemaSab]

Yesterday I was digging up a rose bush and the shovel broke.

When I went to pull the shovel blade out of the ground I sliced the shit out of my hand, and this morning it really hurts.

That is all. Thanks.

[DS1]

1. Sorry to hear that

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

2. At least you have garden work to do...snow flurries here in Pittsburgh

Actually, sorry about your hand.

[XemaSab]

4. It's raining today

And I have to go out and plant the three bushes I dug up yesterday. They're just sitting in the carport right now.

I wish it would be springtime already. :(

[TimeChaser]

3. Ow!

I once sliced my palm while making a walking stick. Not fun x(

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Ew! Ew! Ew!

Don't even say "sliced the shit out of." :scared:




(Did it bleed a lot 'n' stuff?)

[XemaSab]

6. It bled pretty good

It was more deep than long, ya know?

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Did you get it stitched up?

Or didja just spit on it?

[XemaSab]

11. Spit on it

:hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. If you haven't had a tetnus shot in a while

better get one. Who knows where that shovel has been?

[XemaSab]

13. The shovel's been in my yard

:scared:

But I had a tetanus shot last year after I got bit by a gopher I tried to pick up. x(

[NV Whino]

42. Have you thought of giving up gardening?

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

43. Never!

:D

[xmas74]

12. Ouch!

It's been a week for hand injuries. My bruises are finally going away and now you have a cut.

[billyskank]

14. Yes

:hug:

[havocmom]

15. Get thee to an MD

Any idea of all the cooties in the dirt?

Have it looked at NOW pretty please?

[XemaSab]

19. I didn't take soil microbiology, I took wetland soils instead,

So no, I have no clue about all the cooties in the dirt. :)

[havocmom]

23. Let's start wit tetnus and anthrax then pause

while you get your hiney to the doctor! ;)

[XemaSab]

28. I had a tetanus shot last year!

:o

It's unlikely that there's anthrax in the soil, and I don't know what they could do about it if there was. A girl at my school got anthrax from the soil and lived to tell the tale.

[bridgit]

16. ppfftt, what you prolly better get is a tetanus shot...

[XemaSab]

21. I had one last year

after I got bit by a gopher I was trying to handle.

I also had one 6 years ago when I stabbed myself in the foot with a rusty pitchfork that I was using to shovel manure.

:shrug:

[bridgit]

24. aw, you're good to go, just that my old man has put several seasons...

in on horse & cattle ranch concerns, construction mishaps etc, and ran a large splinter from yet another busted shovel handle, though that one was used on the shit pile full of cow manure x( he bled it out as well, but we got him to the doc cause he's hard that way...when i seen your post i seen that splinter full of shit in my mind's eye = not good

hope to see you here in sac :hi:

[XemaSab]

29. I'll totally be there!

:bounce:

[Skittles]

18. I WILL KICK SOME SHOVEL ASS

yes INDEED

[XemaSab]

22. Why thank you!

I feel so defended! :D

[LynneSin]

25. I hope this inspiration brightens your day....

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

[XemaSab]

30. Aww, thanks Lynn!

:pals:

[LaraMN]

26. Owie!

That calls for a monster-size

[XemaSab]

32. I have spongebob bandaids

:D

[Gormy Cuss]

27. I smite the shovel for attacking XemaSab

Okay, now for the "distract XemaSab from her pain" moment. Hey, guess what? We have a sharp shinned hawk living in the neighbor's redwood and hunting in our small field.

[XemaSab]

33. Suweet!

Are you going to the meetup on April 1st? :bounce:

[Gormy Cuss]

36. No, unfortunately. Bad weekend. n/t

[XemaSab]

44. Heinous!

:o

[riona]

31. you need to retaliate, but how???

[XemaSab]

34. By taking the broken shovel pieces and throwing them away?

:shrug:

[riona]

39. you need to make more of a statement

not only did the offensive shovel have the audacity to break, but to wound you too? PLEASE- this is beyond a mere trash removal! this calls for a grand gesture! march those pieces out to the curb in their own burial container and personally hand them to the trash collector. you need closure.

[hfojvt]

35. but I guess that's why they say

every shovel has its thorns ...
:hide:

[XemaSab]

37. For sure

and I was expecting the pain to come from the roses.

:shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My poor Xema!

I am so sorry!

Here, let me kiss it........*um*......maybe not........

Hope you heal quickly! I am so glad you had a tetanus shot last year!

:loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

40. Oh okay

Last time I give you any sympathy :eyes:

[XemaSab]

41. .
