Thankfully, no. I had a friend and her kids hanging out today and I was making brie for us moms...she loved the brie, loves PC, ordered $150+ worth of products and took home (at her request) a bunch of recruiting info...so I guess it was worth the loss of blood.:rolleyes:

Don't scratch your ear with that finger, whatever you do!:eek:
 
Carolyn, I hope it heals fast for you.

Take it from me, the apple wedger is also a sharp one! My first day with it, I tried pushing the rest of the apple through, from the bottom part! Yeah, it is okay to do that with the cheapo wedger I had from the grocery store, but now with the PC one! Sliced the side of my thumb. Ouch!
 
My friend was slicing a bagel a few days before Christmas and e-mailed me that she wanted the finger guard. I told her it probably wouldn't help when cutting bagels, and maybe she needs the hold n slice.
 
Thanks so much for covering-up that owie before you took the picture. I was cringing thinking that I was going to have to look at a jagged ooie gooie finger!

Hope it feels better soon.
 
Bless your heart. I hope your ear and finger heal up soon. If you are in a lot of pain with your ear, call your docotr. A lot of times they are on call and he might can help you out on suggestions to get you through until Monday.
 
I sliced the crap out of my thumb while cleaning my Chef Knife...decided against stitches mainly due to time issues. I still have a slight scar 3 months later. It really hurt like H...
 
:yuck: Ok I have only opened two threads so far this evening and they both had pictures of Carolyn's ... shall we say..."issues"? Carolyn, put your camera away!!!:eek:
 
This one isn't icky at all... all it is is a picture of a finger with a band-aid on it. Of course, the fact that you are taking pictures of your boo boos is what worries me.
 
As long as she's fully clothed, she can take a picture of whatever she likes...just post some disclaimers first


:)

(at least her picture is better than that fuzzy one of naked burt reynolds) LOL!!!
 
I agree with the apple wedger but the tomato knife is also sharp! I chopped of a corner of my thumb with that baby!

I did the very same thing at a show:eek: ... I know it needed stiches, but I didn't go get any. Took two weeks before I could use just a band-aid. Then another week before I could take the band-aid off.
