I just pulled an inch long splinter out of my foot. Yeaaowwwch! I probably should've waited for my dad to take out, cause now I'm missing some skin down there and it hurts to walk. So anyone else have something stuck in them lately?

What else would you be rubbing, e-pal Paul? :confused: :confused: :confused:Quote:

I was reenacting the Lion King in the hallway when I stepped on a needle with my hands. I quickly picked it up and my hand filled with dark blood. Blood came gushing out so I used both hands so they'd take longer to fill. Then when my hands were all full I ran into the livingroom and said to my mom "Look! blood!"
Another time I got a splinter in my finger from a police boat. it stayed there until it was green. Then a red haired friend of mine sat on my hand and it hurt like hell and I screamed and he ran and hid under the table.
and in case my age wasn't obvious in the above two incidents, they both happened a couple of months ago.
I had an 8 inch long piece of rusty hog wire stuck two inches in my foot when I was 9.
The next morning after it was cut out of my foot was excruciating. About as excruciating as when it was in before I got anaesthesia.
Oh man, if I find a splinter I rip it out of my foot. It's better to have a healing foot without splinter than a splinter trapped in there.
Incidentally, there is a piece of pencil lead in my hand
QQ soft
For some reason glass likes my feet, and it always manages to find it's way into my foot. And a couple months ago I woke up with a toothpick halfway into my side, it hurt like hell.
never had a splinter before, i wonder how it feels like.
I love you, Nommy. xDQuote:

It's a good thing that pencil lead doesn't contain any actual lead...Quote:

I spent my lunch break trying to dig it out with a Stanley knife, to no avail. It sat there till I got home, and took about half an hour's work with warm water, a pin and some tweezers. Basically had to scrape through the layers of skin to expose it, then get a grip with the tweezers and lift it out. The lifting was the most painful part. It wasn't a terribly big splinter, but there's something peculiarly painful about having metal fragments under your skin. Especially when every side is about as sharp as a razor.
OMG LOLQuote:

I was thinking the exact same thing.
anyone else that feels they'll throw up if they finish reading the last half of dee-man's post?
I can't recall the last time I had anything stuck inside me.
I've got you under my skin
