Yall will just have to get over it, and endure my lack of typing skills being worse for a bit. Currently have 1 hand and 3 fingers 2 use.

Woke up the other day and asked myself: "Self, what would Jimbob do"? I know, let's lift this .... Bar crash. Thumb went with.

I have duct tape :drillsarge:

Oh No!!! Wondered where you've been. Thought maybe the kids got ahold of duct tape and we needed to rescue our Gunny!

Hope it gets better quickly. One handed typing stinks. I have arthritis issues and when it acts up my typing gets weird.

Same here. Left-handed, but learned to mouse with the right. This ​is why we lefties are more ambidextrous.

When I saw the title of your post, I was thinking that maybe you lost a grand betting on an inside straight.

I've managed around most things ...BUT ...

I was LMAO at myself the other night. Was cold. Usually wear long johns and cammie trousers when it just stays cold. So there I was, cammie trou's, combat boots, and my grandson tying them for me:laugh:

Good thing I taught him to tie shoes. His sisters can't.

Besides hurting 24-7? Just peachy-keen.

Referencing my grandson tying my boots ... so I was getting him to pre-tie my sneaks (loosely) so I can pull them on. He went back to school today. Conversation went like this:

I need you to tie these for me.

But you aren't wearing them. (he's 4)

But I will need them later and I can just pull them on. Just tie them like I showed you.

But you aren't wearing them.

It took awhile to get past that. Kept looking at me like I was nuts. Doubt he got it :laugh:

Didn't go into detail previously. Thumb is dislocated, and partial tear in muscle. It is splinted to my index finger. So how does one care for one's thumb in such a state?

Stand and stretch, forgetting one has a ceiling fan that's only been there longer than I have been. If you guessed that THAT hurt like hell when I stuck my hand in it, you guessed right.

I have come to the conclusion that I much prefer living jimnyc 's f- ups vicariously reading them on the board than channeling them :smoke:

Could be worse...

Was watching some old MMA videos this morning and saw a guy get into a kimura and he refused to tap, so the other guy ended up breaking his arm like a chicken wing behind his back. So of course the announcer had to remind everyone that he won't be able to wipe his own butt for the next 10-12 months! :laugh:
