Usg - What a Flippin' Klutz I Am!!

[kcjodih]

So I've heard many stories about the sharpness of the blades on the USG and have always used the food holder. I'm still trying to get used to the darn thing and even while demoing it I share that consultants have cut off the tips of the fingers so using the food holder is imparitive!!!!

So tonight I'm demoing it with the food holder and a cuke and afterward I don't put it in my dirty crate because there is a 17 month old running around touching everything. So I"m demoing the cheese grater and go to move the USG out of my way and grab it right where the blade is. Instantly 2 fingers bleeding EVERYWHERE and I had to stop the show to have the firefighter hubby wrap them up. Tried a bandaid first, then got blood on the chilzanne while talking about it and stopped to have him now gauze and tape them.

Then later while cleaning up the area to make room for tally time, I put something in my crate and my other hand hits the darn thing and MORE blood. 93 shows and this has NEVER happened to me. No cuts, burns, spills, nada....So I now have 3 fingers gauzed up - all straight and on one hand I'm permanently flippin' the bird to people if you know what I mean LOL

At least it ended up a $1004 show and counting and I got 2 bookings and a serious recruit lead!!

Oh what a night!

Thanks for the warning! You are in my prayers for fast healing. That is
one gorry story. Did you sell any of them tonight? I've just about retired
mine. I was afraid of it in the beginning. Got more confident, and now am
rethinking using it at parties.

I can hardly wait for tomorrow. Four of us are flying out together from my area. I'll get to see the new products bright and early on Monday, when I go to register and take the 8AM Tour.

Jodi: Congratulations on the sales, bookings and recruit lead, despite your mishaps with the USG!!

Wow you've done 93 shows in less than 2 years? That's awesome!

Hope your fingers heal before your next show!!

I'm flying out tomorrow too and staying at the Palmer House AND taking the 8AM tour as well! See you at conference!

I hope your hand is feeling ok. Just think of it as a lesson to people to never just grab something. I turned on our garbage disposal and something was in there. I reached down in there and low and behold my husband put my pink paring knife in the sink and it slid down in there. I cut my finger a little but it hurt like I had cut my whole hand. I am glad that you had a good show and some bookings out it.

Usg!!I hope that the USG is one of the items that they are redesigning. That thing is so dangerous-I never use it. I cut myself taking it out of the box for the first time.

Congrats on your achievements anyway!
