We Are Alive! Carrots Part Two... Ouch!

in #aliveyesterday

I got a lot of carrots processed and bagged up to be frozen, but I stopped suddenly after a bit of a miss happening. I sorta-kinda chopped off the tip of my finger. My mouse clicking finger!

I began by slicing all the carrots with a knife, but decided to speed up the process by using a "mandoline", a very useful tool to slice veggies quickly.

It's a safe tool, if used properly. However, I was in a hurry and didn't use the top portion of the tool, which protects the hand. I was slicing up carrots very quickly and when I got to the bottom, I suddenly realized that I sliced the tip of my finger. It didn't hurt... at first. But it did bleed. More than I expected.

My wonderful wife helped bandage up my finger and daddy demonstrated much self-control for his children. Just because it's bloody, it's not terrible. God made bodies to heal.

I took some very graphic photos of my missing fingertip. I'm so grateful that the cut was not deep enough to require a trip to the ER or urgent care. We stopped the bleeding and treated the wound. It'll take a few weeks for it to heal. I'm grateful that I can still "click" and type using this finger.

I might post gory photos of the finger in another post, if I do it'll be my first "NSFW" post, because it's rough to look at for people sensitive to graphic and bloody images.

But sometimes we BLEED content. :-)

What do you think? Should I post some gorey images of my bloody finger missing the tip?

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

I know what it's like, it happened to me once, but that time it was with a tool just like that, but I was chopping a lot of potatoes, to make french fries, and it was the index finger HAHAHAHAHA it was also uncomfortable to use the mouse.

It's a little bit of a sick feeling when you realize that wasn't a carrot I just sliced... !BBH

I have to be more careful in the future. !BBH

If you wanted to post the pics, you could state on the front page they are gory and it would be up to the individual if they want to see it. I have a friend who faints at the sight of blood.

I posted the photos of my wounded finger in another post. !BBH

I hope your finger heals soon so you can get back to clicking the mouse as soon as possible.
