... but sore toes are worse. Last night, I stepped on something sharp and got a big cut on my big toe. After bleeding all over the kitchen, I painfully wrapped a paper towel around it and cleaned up the mess (while trying to keep it on my toe -- not easy). I went to my room, and the bleeding stopped after not-too-long.
This morning, it hurts like hell. I think that whatever I stepped on might be still in there, but I can't get a good look at the bottom of my toe. So I have to wait till about 3pm, when my family gets home, to see if there's something stuck there. So in the meantime, the toe sticks out like a sore thumb. And hurts! :(
Lmao!! Well, that sucks! So you have no idea as to what you stepped on?
I do now, my mom said she shattered a casserole dish a couple days ago. It was a shard of that.
My mom got it out, it was a triangular piece of white stuff (the stuff that's used for casserole dishes.. glass, sort of?), about 5millimeters long, so reasonably big, for being stuck straight into my toe.
It's out, and my foot doesn't hurt now. Life is good!
ALAS!! I was so worried. ^^

Porcelain?
You should have called me! My mom's a doctor. :P

I would have taken out what was in there before it could cause more damage. You're just lucky it wasn't something lethal! I suggest your family start a system of communicating possible hazards in the home.

That ruins the excitement of it all!

You want to collect on it? I know a guy who can get you the house, the car(s), and if you tip him an extra 50$ a gun in her hand and malicious intent.

Reminds me of the shard of the Nazgul blade that Frodo had in his shoulder. :)

Before I remembered that you only live like five seconds away, I was going to say he would have probably called me instead. :)
No the best is when you step on something and you look down and its sticking out the top of your foot because it went through.

Good call.. if I can find the piece (I think my garbage bag is empty, other than it), I will. It's tiny, but big enough to hurt a toe.

Agreed! If I knew there was porcelain (thanks!) there, I would have been more careful and I wouldn't have gotten a neat story.

Yea... you need to replant it in your toe. I still can't imagine it when they are separated.
I see you gave up on your anti-nail biting plan.. :P

Not exactly, I gave up on the habit of biting my nails. When I do it now, it's fully controlled and because they are getting uncomfortably long. For awhile I used nail clippers, but I didn't like it, nail clippers don't cut it the way I like it (short?). So yeah, I gave up the habit. I decide when to bite them, so my nails actually grow out.

I laughed.
Didn't something like this happen last winter? You, or your dog stepped on something and sprayed blood all over the place?
His dog attacked a tire, if that's what you're referencing.

No, he's referring to this (http://www.x86labs.org:81/forum/index.php/topic,4771.0.html)
Ergot's correct, my dog chewed the bandage off her tail.

What happened to the photos?
I had an inch long slice of glass stuck in my foot for almost 2 weeks about 4 years ago. Man did that suck.

I re-arranged stuff on my server. Look in this folder:

the pictures have the same names.
