    If your catching on fire I recommend washing your clothes. Usually people wash their clothes for sanitary purposes. In this case it sounds like a safety issue. I wouldn't be bragging about either.

    Heh, don't worry, I wash my clothes daily (otherwise they get really nasty). I've learned that certain kinds of jeans have a high percentage of polyester in the fabric, rendering them more susceptible to conflagration... the most recent though was from my Carhartt's being old and worn out, time to throw them out soon

    My hands are nice & soft now... Just ask that utility knife blade that just dug a quarter inch deep - inch long furrow across my left thumb.

    I had just stopped & looked at what I was doing, double-checked that I had a good angle, and wasn't about to hurt my self... then the blade slipped.

    The missus told me she was confiscating all the utility knives as of now. LOL

    Paper towel & some vetwrap, and I'ma finish this pile of stuff I need to break down before bed.

    Allow me to take this opportunity to do a PSA on maintaining your tetanus vaccination if you're in this line of work!!
