    There are natural probiotics in dairy. Take the liquid on top of yogurt for instance you can use it to treat pinkeye.

    It's not just a hoax because it sounds weird.

    Good GAWD.... Some of these stories ... Looks like it's a miracle that some of us are even still alive! LOL!
    Although I do get a chuckle over the helicopter moms and kids being wrapped in bubble wrap these days to do anything and then get rushed to the emergency room cuz they hurt their pinky finger... If they only knew how it used to be, back in the day.. And nobody thought anything about it.. LOL!

    No pictures, first was using a grinder to strip rust and paint off my frame. Since i had no guard the grinder slipped in my hand and and cut deep into my middle finger at the joint, nearly cutting the bone. Since this happened during Covid I didn't want to go to the hospital to get stitches so I cleaned the wound best i could and taped a Popsicle stick to my finger to keep it from moving. I now had a medical reason to give people the middle finger for two weeks:p.

    Second one. I was reinstalling my spindles and before I was able to thread in the top bolt the something thing slipped and the top part of the spindle hit me square in the mouth, chipped one of my teeth. Taught me to always bungie cord these things.

    Surprised it took this long, actually.


    Cutting wheels on grinders are quick.

    I should probably check that out. Finding the right size is always a struggle.

    My annual mounting of Christmas wreath to my front grill using zip ties. I was pulling on the end of a zip tie with needle nose pliers and the pliers broke loose and the pointy end went straight into my eye.

    But my truck looked great and my Opthalmologist bought a new Porsche that year.

    A couple months ago was the first time using my brand spanking new Dewalt metal cutting saw. I was setting up for a 45 degree cut and my finger accidentally touched the trigger.

    The bad news is that I can only flip peeps 3/4 of the bird.

    The good news ... there’s a fix for that
