How not to trim your nails *By Bert

February 7th, 2008

So I was trimming the hedges with an electric hedger. It was dark. I was pretty much finished. Little slip here, little trim there. My left ring finger got caught between some of the teeth while it was slowing down. It didn’t hurt to bad, but I immediately knew it was something i couldn’t just put a band-aid on. What really hurt was getting a needle stuck several times in the tip of my finger to numb it for the stiches. The doctor in the E.R., who I had to wait an hour and a half to see, got everthing put back together and looking fine. Don’t you think so? These are pics from the day after. Enjoy!

*So I guess I should clarify (even though I know my hands don’t look feminine) I, Bert am the one that cut my finger. Even though it would be more likely that Jasper did it.

    How lovely… The two of you may want to think about starting an “Injured Digit” photo album.
    Seriously, stop it you guys!

    Mom-Mom and I just took a look at your injured finger (UGH!!!)and we think Jasper’s injured toe looked a whole lot better than your injured finger. Looks like you’re going to have trouble trimming that nail from now on. Your finger looks mutilated! After hearing our comments from the den, your Dad wouldn’t even come in here and look at the pictures!
    We agree with Mamaw Diane. Cut it out! Oops! Poor use of words there. Just cease your reckless activity!
    Pretty please!

    Didn’t you know that you should trim hedges during the daylight hours? Guess not. Well, try to have a great Valentine’s Day together and enjoy Devon’s wedding and visiting Tenn. Hope you get to meet Jason, Jackee & Jayce! LOL Granny

    What’s up? Nothing going on in March? How about St. Patty’s Day? Glad neither of you were in Atlanta for the nasty weather over the weekend. Hope that you didn’t know anyone injured or missing. Thought Faith said Jasper & Stef were meeting in Alabama over the weekend. LOL Granndy
