I got up one night, stubbed my toe as I came into the bathroom. I never turn the light on cause the streetlight shines in plenty to see ok. Didn't hurt too bad, so I just did my business, washed my hands and went back to bed. GOOD GOD Almighty!!!! Bout 2 hrs later, the wife goes into the bathroom, and turns on the light. The floor was covered in blood!!! Wakes me up all scared and stuff...ya should have seen the sheet.... I swear, the "nick" barely broke the skin. Diabetic and blood thinners I guess. If It wasn't Septic Pencils, I'd have bled out years ago!!!! I have to admit a perverse enjoyment out of frightening people with the blood and "nicks". One time I took the fleshy tip of a finger off . I taped it on really tight and went the 20 miles to our clinic. The doctor looked at it and asked what I wanted them to do. I said I wanted it "re-attached", she said there was nothing wrong, so I said, pull on it, she did and the tip came off. She then showed me her sewing skills. She went right through the nail to get part of it. After it was healed pretty well I started picking at the hangnail. Turns out I was picking at the stitch, so I pulled it out. People have little faith in the human body's ability to heal itself. I rely on it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those machinists could get "dicey" if you broke their toys. This was junior high. We had all the latest stuff back then. Only a teacher to answer to. Remember big copper tips with the wooden handles you used for soldering? My little metal box still exists 50 years later.....somewhere. I lost it a long time ago. I still have the stool I made in woodworking. Mahogany.....funny stuff, now that I look back on it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I started my ham radio life in the early 50's with one, it was a step up from the big Copper that I had to heat on the gas stove) I searched used tools and found a 500 watt one, an American Beauty! It is one of my favorite weapons, err, tools. Edited August 22, 2019 by janice6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bent my arm all the way, the elbow joint was visible. I went up to my mom and said, "Look at this!" I thought it was cool as hell. She couldn't figure out whether to crap herself, vomit or pass out. She chose instead to yell at me. Luckily my dad took me in for the stitches, or I would have heard about it all the way to the emergency room. Males and females have very different opinions on what is cool. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clerk tried to ask me what drumsticks are, then she actually admonished me in a heavy "Mexican" accent, and said they were legs. I said that in Minnesota, they were Drumsticks!

Huaco Kid Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's "el drumstick". If they see that you are making an effort, they'll be much nicer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have consulted several references and cannot find a literal Spanish word or phrase for the English 'drumstick' when referring to the leg and thigh of a chicken or turkey. The closest is muslo de pollo. (thigh of chicken.) As for the thin sticks that one whacks a drum with: baqueta, or palollila de tambor (little stick for drum) I will have to ask my neighbor for a more colloquial reference. Or, mebbe just take a nap.
