lost my thumb
« on: Apr 01, 2007, 06:53:49 PM »
havent been on in a while but on Friday I had to have my thumb removed. It was broken too severely to save and had to be taken off. It's kinda weird fumbling around with out one, trying to pick things up etc. but I'll manage. pics of thumb post-removal coming later.

Good because it isn't real until we see pictures.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

I also taught him how to put in 5min of hard work and then spend 15min staring and admiring what you have done...

You're not a real man until you've done a little solo love making twice before going to the doc to find out you have a broken thumb :ack:
