You rang?

I was calling myself that

Don't do that. Namecalling is reserved for other people. It's in the unwritten rules.

I'd give half my income for a scratching stick that reaches to the bottom of this cast.

Ah, that's simple. All you need are two or three wire hangers, a pair of wire cutters and some duct tape.

You have beautiful eyes.

I already have one hanger stuck in the damned thing and can't reach it. The yard stick won't work, not long enough. I'm about ready to cut this thing off.

Precisely. Very important not to call yourself names, gives way to much darker thoughts on yourself. Not good.

I made a stupid mistake. I should have known better. I messed up.

Thank you.

Duct tape and a second yard stick? (Don't mind me, duct tape is my answer to most of life's little problems.)

Indeedy. And that sucks, and is not a good place to be.

OK, so you messed up. Don't put yourself down for it. Find a way to either get around it, patch it, or just plain fix it.

 

[Mark_Ilaan]

Thank you.

That's it! I'll cut the cast open, enjoy a good scratch and then duct tape it back together. Thanks for the tip. Now where did I leave that saw?

I tried to fix it, it didn't work.

Maybe tomorrow.....

Care to PM me details and see if a fresh perspective brings something up?

Nooooo, bad plan, very bad plan!

Maybe by tomorrow it won't even seem quite so bad. Here's hoping.

*HUGS*

Don't call yourself names. Everyone makes mistakes.

Even very, very smart people like me.

If you want to do something to yourself, forgive yourself. It's probably the most importnat thing a person can do.

 

[Mark_Ilaan]

Yeah. You're probably right. Who'd a-thunk that a simple itch could make a man insane. I'm even trying to get my sister's cat to claw at the plaster, just hoping she gets through. Insane, I tells ya.

Thanks for the offer, but, it's confidential information.

I do appreciate the thought though, honest.

Understood.

It will be better tomorrow.

*hugs* Sorry. I can only imagine.

How far short does the yardstick fall? Couple of inches?

Understood.

Thank you

Miss Lynn, you and I have talked a bit and one thing I know for sure -- well, two, really: 1) You're gorgeous, and 2) you're very intelligent. If you made a mistake, and it can't be fixed, then it's over. Beating yourself up about it doesn't fix it and it doesn't help how you feel. Just learn from it and go on.

Case in point: I learned that you never use a prototype parasail that's never been tested. It's something that I'll never do again. Surely, no one can make a dumber mistake than that.

 

[Mark_Ilaan]

About half a foot or so.

 

[MaeveoSliabh]

About half a foot or so.

Try taping a blunt fork or a butterknife to the end. Butterknife is safer and a touch longer.

Point taken. Thank you for the words and the compliments.
