You know those Compleats meals? The ones that you just have to nuke for 90 seconds. They don't have to be kept in the freezer or anything.
I was just fixing myself one for lunch. Beef stew. When I went to pull back the plastic after it was finished cooking, it slipped and some of the gravy sloshed onto the inner part of my wrist and the palm of my hand.
It burnt me so bad! I now have a very large red place on my wrist and hand, and after 45 minutes, it is still burning!! Typing is killing me. Not sure how I'm going to get the rest of my lines in today, but I'll manage somehow.
So....be careful, my friends. Those things get really hot!!

HOT - blackberry
[ In Reply To ..]Ouch! Try some burn ointment with lidocaine.
I personally don't even like the idea of those meals... no refrigeration needed, long shelf lives! sounds like way too may preservatives! Like Twinkies!
Feel better and watch out next time!
Not the ideal meal, no. - But....
[ In Reply To ..]my car broke down and my boyfriend has the only vehicle. I have to go grocery shopping tonight. It was the only thing in the house and I was starving...lol.
Still hurts, but I'm surviving!
Do you have an aloe plant? - sigh
[ In Reply To ..]I burned my leg this summer when I spilled some hot tomatoes that had been boiling for about 1/2 hour. I applied the gel from my plant and within 10 minutes, most of the redness was gone and all of the burning. I'll never be without one again.
Hope it gets better soon. I know that hurts!!

Such A Wise ManMar 20, 2012
This quote below pretty much sums up why I don't like all these entitlement programs. “I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. ...

What happened in Brussels could have easily been New York, Chicago, Atlanta, etc. This stuff is pretty scary to me, however, I will not let ISIS or any terrorist group intimidate me to the point that my life stops and I am looking over my shoulder all the time. We have to be more proactive about showing ISIS we mean business and take them out financially as well as militarily and as far as torture, I feel do what you have to do, I mean they cut heads off, drown while watching, b ...
Wise Words Never More Needed Than NowJul 18, 2012
I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. (Colossians 2:4). Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? (Job 15:8). For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world (1 John 2:16). For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16). Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; ev ...

Looking For A WordOct 02, 2013
Someone said something to me today that I forgot to write down and have now forgotten the word, so I have a word game. Looking for a word.

Greetings world. The time for celebration is over. The fight is just beginning. The powers of evil have already regrouped. They are already acting to make our lives harder.

Adept Word ManagementJul 31, 2016
If anyone is thinking of working for Adept Word Management, I would highly recommend you look elsewhere. I worked for her for a while and she gave me the runaround about getting paid and it took months. I stopped working for her for a few months. She contacted me again and said that she had a client that would pay immediately and so I got screwed again. It's been months to get paid and she's giving me the runaround again. Now she says I owe her money! Very unprofessional and unorganize ...
