hah, you think that was fun, Fred?

remember that siding i did yesterday?
well, it seems i inadvertently whacked myself on my thumb real good
you know the deal, buncha blood under the nail, but no place to go and the nail bed was pretty swollen

it was hurting pretty bad last night, but when i woke up this morning it was allright, as long as i didnt bump it

then i stopped by church to remove a black water tank from the coachbus (who knows why)
there is a vent hose on there, so i grabbed a long flathead screwdriver and tried to pry it off
needless, to say, the screw driver slipped and i slammed my hand down on the tank, right on the thumb
the nail bed that was swollen allready split open and all of a sudden it didnt throb so much...now that the blood could get out

yeah, that was fun
I think I remember my dad relieving the pressure under his fingernail by burning a hole through it with a hot paperclip. Not sure if it worked. I've torn 2 fingernails completely off and have on that wont stop splitting catch part of that once in a while, Just the other day I chucked up a vice-grip in a vise and clamped the small part of that split nail in the vise grip and yanked it out by the root. Done that a half a dozen times I suppose.
