Ouch

So, I don't get it. Why is it so hard to find a flipper guy that doesn't have slots cut in it? I don't know about you, but I don't recall the last time I wanted to turn something over but found myself saying, "wow, I wish there was some way for bits of this to fall through while I'm doing this". And the cleaning... partially cooked egg + holes in a plastic flipper <> good combination.

In other news, I discovered yesterday that that stuff that makes chilis hot does not go well with eyes. I had broken up some dried chilly peppers with my dinner last night, and at the end of the meal, forgot that I had done it. I rubbed my eye and realized pretty quick that that stuff sticks around for a while.

Whoops.

The little chick was quite concerned, and asked "are your eyes feeling better now?" more or less every two minutes or so until they were. She's pretty sweet.

I suppose I knew it could be like that, and if I would have had Science Nathan around, he probably would have reminded me. In any case, I've learned my lesson now. Next time, I'm getting someone else to rub my eyes for me.

Did I ever tell you the story of the first time I cut up a habanero peper? The juice stays on your fingers for close to a week. While your fingers soon stop feeling the burn (in 3 or 4 hours) thy continue to burn anything you touch. I ended up soaking my fingers in bleach, vinager, milk, alcohol, scrubbing them with soap, sandpaper, you name it, but i still couldn't put my contacts in. I'm a bit more careful now.

Man, I knew you would have been able to help me out. Thankfully, I resisted the urge to try bleach to get my eye to stop burning...
