Owww. :eek: That's horrible, you poor thing. I can never do stuff like that though, way too squemish. I would hop to the doctor's.

At least it sounds like you didn't do any permanent damage. Lots of fine control muscles and ligaments in that area. Don't worry too much though, you'd know if you cut one.

If I ever was once squeamish about these sorts of things, being a med student stamped that out long ago

And yeah I conducted a little test after I'd plastered it up to make sure everything still moved. Still can't really walk on it properly but I'm not too concerned.

Pro tip: nowhere is a safe place for bare feet. Nowhere. :pac:

Hah, maybe not. Had a huge blister on my left foot last week, was gonna use a poultice on it but I got bored and just jabbed it with a pocket-knife I had lying around. I'm not very patient with the healing process in general. :rolleyes:

Hard. Core.

Don't you just love when you email a cosmetics company asking if they animal test and use animal ingredients and they email you back with a long detailed mail about their strict no animal testing policy but completely ignore your other question? Not answering says a lot more than answering it would have really.

Dear Banana,

Thank you for your inquiry. Here at MonkeyLips LTD we take animal testing very seriously. We assure you that all our practices are completely acceptable and above board. You asked whether we use animal ingredients. Thank you for that question too.

Yours sincerely,
Carefully Worded Employee #34

Something lighthearted on the intricities and perils of women dating other women. The video is the first part of a short film, so waste otherwise productive hours with this instead.

I hate to say it, but some of it is so spot on. :eek:

....are there other ways to deal with that issue?

I was recommended various things. Powders, poultices (Absorb the moisture through the skin), etc. I just think they take too long.

Asry

wow, I never knew. I always just stabbed them.

Maybe it's time to practice some kindness on my feet...?:D

I think Phoebe Buffay summed it up best when she sang "There are men who love women, there are men who love men. Then there are bisexuals but some just say they're kidding themselves.."
It's my first time posting on the LBGT forum and as a fellow bisexual woman I'd like to say howdy to y'all.

In other news: I just saw Black Swan tonight. Holy F-bombs, Batman- Mila Kunis took my breath away.

She's a sexy bitch..

Generally speaking though it's good to leave them if you can (obviously this is more difficult in practice than in theory) because the blister itself is the body's attempt at healing the damage to the skin. Also punctured blisters can get infected. Best solution is to avoid them in the first place

Sshhhhhh

I'm already dead to the world because of LA Noire, the unopened copy of Portal 2 that I've cleverly (:pac:) hidden in my parent's house will do me no favours I heard it's and awful game anyway, certainly not a game that is addictive and will make me want to avoid going outside or anything...

Please assume the party escort submission position.

There will be cake. In space. Spacecake.

Portal's in no way addictive. It's not like I played it twice, wanted to buy it, found out my computer doesn't support it and considered buying an Xbox just to play it on. Not at all.

"I think this is the part where he kills us"
"This is the part where I kill you!"
CHAPTER 9 - THE PART WHERE HE KILLS YOU
Achievement Unlocked- THE PART WHERE HE KILLS YOU - this is that part.

These favs aren't that spoilery:

"Here come the test results: 'You are a horrible person.' That's what it says. We weren't even testing for that."

"Oh hi. How are you holding up? Because I'm a potato."

And the song at the end - brilliant.

AND THOSE are just from Portal 2. They're probably the two most creative games I've ever played.

Asry

Did you see Yahtzee's reviews of them on Zero Punctuation? I want LA Noir!

McChubbin

I want to get Dragon Age 2 and The Sims 3 but I have to wait until I get a new graphics card.

Asry

I am a giant sims fan. I have all of the expansions and stuff packs and everything for the sims 1 and 2. Buuuuuuttttt. The sims 3 really disappointed me. It's just. Bleh. There's nothing really new, you know?

Himself and myself are both buying new PCs for the Old Republic coming out at the end of the year (hopefully). Goodbye real life hello dying of exhaustion and starvation :pac:

McChubbin

Dear God I am so effing bored right now.

littlehedgehog

Speaking of effing - HOW HAVE I NOT DISCOVERED EFFING DYKES BEFORE NOW? I have been on the internet since I was 13, and I have been an effing dyke for circa 13 years before that. What the hell?!

I have now wasted my afternoon - no, not wasted - ENJOYED - my afternoon snorting with laughter.

Thank you diddlybit!
