I didn’t know that! I slept through the whole thing! ?
Ok... no to crazy glue then...
You are right. I have seen commercials for a glue for cuts.Actually in the late 70's.I managed a bowling alley and blisters and cracks on the hand were common. We sold a small tube called New Skin. Really it was the glue used for putting model airplanes and such together. Stung like heck.

I’m sure Sully doesn’t mind, she looks like royalty so must feel the same:)

I keep dermabond under my cabinet for just such occasions ( I’m not graceful at all) but I’m just too far to be of any use to you.. hope your back to rights In no time!
I was responding about the use of superglue for cuts and spoke of something they sell now for that. After I googled it and dermabond came up. Now I know what you were talking about. ?

Yeah,given the amount of blood and depth & width I’m pretty sure that new skin product wouldn't have worked.

Sorry about your accident. Hope it wasn't too bad. I can't wait to see what you do for the historic navy ship when things get better.

It’s nothing grand really. It’s a wooden cabinet with mahogany trim, the rest plain white. I guess used in the galley as a mini-pantry cupboard for cups.

I've got one last tortoise to winterize. I have two fairly small Manouria emys emys and two of intermediate size, and I had asked William, my tortoise partner, to section off part of the Manouria shed for them, making them a night house, lights, feeding tile and waterer.

After William had gone home my daughter told me there was still one Manouria left in the outside yard. I guess William figured it was too big to put in the shed with the smaller ones.

So for the past few mornings I have been trying to clean out one of the cinderblock enclosures on the carport for him. Having only one useful arm, this is taking me a while.

So that's what I'll be doing this a.m.

Yes but really the reward is in being a part of the restoration and the historic preservation. The ship may be a great tour...or something else. I think they chose an awesome woodworker to help with it.?

That was a old Rodney Dangerfield joke. ?
I couldn't remember if I used that joke here on the CDR. So I figured if I couldn't remember. Maybe you all wouldn't either. ?
Believe me I wouldn't say that to Rose. ?
Or would I??
You remind me lots of my dad.. he tells me these jokes often.. but I grew up listening to “dear Rodney”.., lol

Please be careful... I imagine you’ve still got some healing to do..,

I got home early enough today to haul all the tortoises in for a good soak.. I figured I better do this inside due to the falling temps.. but when I got Toretto in to the sink in the mud room (where I bathe all the critters) Imagine my surprise when he would no longer fit!!!!
