Stinking Nanny State.

I don’t have an Amazon account. I use my wife’s if I really need to use it. I forgot that she can see anything I search for. Now I get to explain why I was searching for Suture Kits. 

I have a multipurpose first aide kit next to my desk.  Instead of sutures I use Liquid Bandage.  The pain is almost the same as sutures.  I have Band-Aids up  to sizes to cover a hip or entire forearm cause you can never tell what I'm maiming next. 

I'm pretty self self sufficient and my wife is used to the blood trail to the first aide kit.  I could be a survivor if I wouldn't maim myself so much.  Wife has a strong stomach for such a little girl!  She must love me or she'd kill me.  I'm not sure about the dog.

Dogs often make a fine pressure bandage for spurting blood.

Cats, not so much.

They tend to sit a few feet away, just out of reach,  and laugh at you.

This was a deep puncture. Don’t like liquid bandages on deep stuff. I’ve given myself sutures several times. Learned to do it as a kid with curved upholstery needles. It was better than the beating I would get from telling my mom I needed to go get stitches. Used a tight butterfly under tape instead. My wife just rolled her eyes. Again.

Last time I had a major bleed event, I opened up my forearm wrist to elbow, just peeled the skin back so blood was the only problem.  Wife came running into the bathroom to see what the hell I did now.  She almost threw up will the blood on the floor .  The dog, however, was licking like hell on the tile trying to clean up the mess before the wife found us.

The sight of the dog cleaning up after me almost sent her into the throw ups again. I scooted her out along with the dog.  I'm not comfortable with the dog getting a taste for blood in my house.  When we go out the wife always leave SVU or some murder show for the dog to watch.  I'm uneasy coming into the house worrying about the dog being behind any door.

I don't know how my wife does it.  She's not the strong type but she has spent so many years with me I think she has given up on a normal relationship.

1st fatal California mountain lion attack in 20 years leaves 1 man dead and his brother injured.
"The mountain lion was dispatched," sheriff's officials said.
A weekend outing to the Northern California woods took a horrific turn for two brothers when a mountain lion attacked them, killing one and leaving the other with traumatic injuries to the face, authorities said.
This was the first fatal attack by a cougar in the state in 20 years, California officials said.
The attack unfolded Saturday afternoon while the brothers, ages 21 and 18, were out searching for shed deer antlers near the El Dorado National Forest, about 52 miles northeast of Sacramento, authorities said.
The teenager who survived the attack called 911 at about 1:13 p.m. PT, reporting they had been attacked by a cougar and that he had become separated from his older sibling, according to a statement from the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
When sheriff's deputies and paramedics arrived at the scene near Georgetown around 1:34 p.m., they located the injured teenager and began administering first aid, according to the sheriff's office.
Additional deputies sent to the scene launched a search for the teenager's brother, finding him nearby lying motionless on the ground with the mountain lion crouched between them and the mortally injured man, according to the sheriff's office.
"Deputies discharged their firearms in order to scare the mountain lion off so they could render medical aid," the sheriff's office said.
But by the time they reached the victim, he was dead, authorities said.
The teenager was taken to a local hospital where he was being treated. Information on his condition was not immediately disclosed.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife game wardens and an El Dorado County trapper combed the area for the mountain lion, authorities said.
"The mountain lion was dispatched, and the body of the mountain lion was collected for further examination," according to the sheriff's office.
Authorities said DNA samples collected from the scene matched the deceased lion.
Mountain lion attacks on humans are rare in California, authorities said. According to state fish and wildlife officials, the last recorded fatal mountain lion attack in California occurred in January 2004, when a 35-year-old cyclist was killed on a trail in Orange County, authorities said.
The last fatal mountain lion attack in El Dorado County occurred in April 1994, when a 40-year-old woman was killed in the Auburn State Recreation Area, according to officials.
Since 1890, fewer than 50 mountain lion attacks on humans have been reported in California, including six that have been fatal, officials said.

We turn to look for them, but they are already gone.

 

Interesting. Found two different sets of lyrics for “Already Gone”. One by The Eagles the other by Kelly Clarkson. Wonder if there are still others.

Just watched a video. 120 songs that turn 50 years old in 2024. 
 

#1. 1974 was a good year for music.

#2. Where did 50 years go?

We celebrated our fiftieth anniversary last year. It sure went by fast. tom.
