Are you near a hospital? When I sliced the tip of my pinky finger, I drove over to the ER (it's close by & I could avoid main roads). Why aren't GA urgent cares accepting walk-ins? Because of a rise in covid cases? Good luck getting help asap!!

I sliced a finger maybe 15 years ago and didn’t go to the ER because it was 10pm and I “had to be” at work at 8:30am. It took over a year to heal completely because of that. Bad decision.
Now I know that even without getting stitches, it would have healed in a couple of weeks if I had splinted it (cut was on the knuckle).   
Similar experience with a sliced toe, but no knuckle involved—I bought some of that skin glue (basically epoxy). Still not as good as stitches, but better than bandaids. 
If you can get it stitched and you’ve ever done much hand sewing, removing the stitches yourself can save a trip back to the doctor or clinic or ER. It’s really easy with the right scissors and tweezer.

I sliced open the tip of my finger using a mandoline (the cutting kind, not the musical instrument) a few years ago. It bled like a stuck pig. I was on a deadline to finish what I was making, so I put on a tight nitrile glove to contain all the blood, and afterward I used one of those butterfly Band-Aids that hold the cut sides together. It worked really well, and now I can't even see a scar. Maybe something like that would sub for stitches. Or maybe that liquid bandage stuff. I guess it depends in part on where the cut is. Hope you're able to get help with this.

I doubt all of them aren't accepting walk-ins. I probably just had bad luck but WTF, not accepting walk-ins for possible stitches?

I thought I had some butterfly bandaids but couldn't find them. It finally stopped bleeding and doesn't look as bad as I thought. Hopefully I was just over-reacting.

[Bastet]

I keep steri-strips (surgical tape) on hand for wounds that don't need stitches, but do need more than a regular bandage to seal the skin back together.  This Healthline article outlines when they're a good option.

Pet peeve today: bugs. Not as dramatic as slicing a finger but I went out to water the plants and came in with 7 bites on one leg and 4 on the other. Apparently, I'm delicious.

Bug bites are the worst. I won't take the trash out after sunset unless I drive to the dumpster because I get chewed up. Have you tried the Bug Bite Thing? I find it helps if I catch the bites in time (do not use it on your face!)

There's also this: https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/garden/pest-control/insects/70728-therapik?item=EM502

Whenever I link to Amazon, it links to my account, so I don't do that anymore. But they have it at Amazon for about a buck more. We've had one of these for years, and it works great. The quicker you treat the bite, the more effective it is. It works by burning off the venom, so you have to tolerate increasing heat on the spot for about fifteen seconds, but most of the time that's all it takes. And it's French, so ooh-la-la.

Last night my Mom decided to warn me about cow killer wasps.  I thought, hey I should warn @theredhead77.  Then I thought I should break the chain of the inevitable looking up what that is..  Seeing the giant insect flash on the screen.  Reading the articles about how much it hurts to be stung.  And listening to the video of it screaming.  

Which is never a scream I've heard in the yard.  So, yea.  But you brought up GA bugs on your own so you brought this on yourself.

I have been a mosquito magnet for my entire, considerable existence.  Fair-skinned, blue-eyed, redhead.  Someone once said there was something to all of that, re bugs.  Here I just thought it made me a natural-born bitch.  I've also read that mosquitos are drawn to carbon dioxide (that's the stuff we exhale, right?), so guess I'll get tanned up, color my hair, buy some brown contact lenses, and hold my breath.

I'm dark-haired, dark-eyed, and am always a buffet for mosquitoes. They've been so bad in our area, this year, that everyone is complaining in facebook groups - the county was supposed to have sprayed in our area, but we're a tiny town, so someone wanted to know if they skipped us this time. We took our dogs to the park last week, and my one that I walk with, who is now having trouble with his lower back/right leg, was slowly walking with me. I had to rub crowds of them off his face, several times. :(

My 5 yr old granddaughter went to the dentist yesterday, she had two small cavities and the dentist told her that this was because of "sugar bugs".  I have no idea if this is something dentists tell little kids thinking it's a cute way to teach them what they should and should not be eating - I do know it has totally freaked my granddaughter out.  She hasn't spoken OR eaten since 9 am yesterday.  So my peeve of the day - people who work with children who don't seem to know how to actually talk to children.

Oh my goodness yes!  Kids can't help but take everything literally!  I still remember, when I was about 4, visiting my uncle who lived next door.  He had a hole in the toe of his sock, and he told me it was because he was eating an apple, swallowed the seed, and that was where it grew out.  I was horrified!  Wouldn't go over to his house for I don't know how long.  (I don't think my parents ever figured out what was wrong.)  I'm over it now, but it was burned into my brain.  I try to remember that when I'm talking to kids now.

Ugh, MORE than a peeve, man — guess who’s the lucky winner of attempted (I hope) identity theft! Whoooo! Apparently, someone has filed for unemployment in my name, as I learned from the letters that showed up this week. NOT letters saying “oh dear, look what happened!” but the actual forms that one who applied for unemployment might get in the mail (I wouldn’t know; I’ve never applied). And it seems like all gov’t voicemail boxes for this sort of thing are full, complete with a message about how they’re not taking calls (apparently, this is rampant!). But here’s the lesser of the peeves that I’m fixating on…

If I am getting all of the correspondence, how would someone get the dough?! And how are these things not verified somehow? I still work at present for the employer that is on the form! 

Also, I realize that I would be a terrible scammer not only because I just don’t understand HOW, but because it all seems super-tedious to perpetrate! Oh my god, this is the most boring crime (not as boring as trying to get ahead of it, mind you—as I learned today).

It’s been a while but the time I applied I was being laid off from my job - the company helped us with the initial filing then after my termination date I had to appear in person at unemployment.  I had a one on one appointment with someone there.  I don’t remember if I had to show any form of ID like a drivers license.  In your case I don’t know how someone could file in your name and get the money while you’re getting the paperwork.  Since it’s been so long the process may have changed.

It might also be a good idea to check your credit reports and if you haven’t done so already freeze your credit if you aren’t planning to apply for any loans in the near future.  

I’m with you - scamming is too much work.  For all the work one needs to do to scam someone you might as well find a real job and not risk getting in trouble.  

[TattleTeeny]

I didn’t freeze my credit, but I did a whole bunch of other stuff recommended. I have some kind of ID theft coverage through my work insurance…which sounds nice, but until and unless something actually happens, I think it’s basically just an information hub kind of thing and a free monitoring service that I activated. Checked my accounts and did something or other via Experian (or whichever one I used) and filed complaints online in various places. Then I called the monitoring place to double-check to see what else I needed to do. Still stressed, but per the rep I talked to, I think I got it all covered? But now what does one do? Wait?! Do I ever get to know if I’m all good? I have no clue!

[TattleTeeny]

That’s what I thought too! But they referred me to all the info I found myself while waiting for them to reply to my message (we’ve been remote since March of 2920).

Also, I accidentally typed “2920” when I meant “2020.” But I’ll leave it as-is because it may as well be that long at this point!

I think I’ve done what I can for the time being. I wish that made me feel better, but I don’t think I’m the person who can easily say, “well, what else can I do?” Bah to me!

Yes, but I always try to excuse the use of “itch” for “scratch” because often scratching an itch such as a mosquito bite or poison ivy rash will make it itch more, so the unfortunate, grammar-handicapped itcher is unwittingly making it itch more, which could perhaps be accurately described as “itching” the rash.

This puzzle discussion has veered away from pet peeves, so I will bring it back.  I have two petty puzzle peeves:  I can’t stand when I see people filling in the crossword with lower-case letters. Why would they do this? It’s in defiance of all puzzle convention. My other one is when I see people cross off or check off the clues as they fill them in. Why?  First of all, what if you made a mistake?  And also you just don’t need that visual aid to know where you are in the puzzle. 

I use uppercase, but do check off the clues. I think because the way I work is to go through the clues one by one, and then go back through (rinse and repeat), so I just skip over the ones I've checked off.  (Does that make any sense?  If not, just ignore me!)

Also, when I spent a few months in a heavily infested area of India, I used to eat a clove of raw garlic every morning with breakfast.  The stinky breath stops after a couple of weeks, but apparently your blood tastes nasty.

I try to keep my brain healthy (it's getting harder and harder!) by doing the daily Guardian quick crossword, which is mainly vocabulary and bits of trivia, with maybe a couple of anagrams and easy cryptic clues thrown in. 

The only cryptic crossword I try is The Telegraph's because I find it the least fiendish!  I have a book of their crosswords, and they give the "Authors" and the solutions.  Some of the authors I learn not to bother with because even with the solution I often have no clue (ha!) how they got there.  I learned how to at least try to decipher clues by learning alongside someone who'd been doing them for years.

A former (American) boss used to do the NYT crossword daily, very quickly, in pen.  I thought he might enjoy a cryptic one, so gave him an easy one.  He handed it back to me the next day totally blank.  This man has one of the best minds I know.  I explained a couple and he just looked at me as if I were insane.

So yeah, maybe it is genetic!

I've noticed that as well.  A bunch of different commercials, while irritating aren't nearly as aggravating as the exact same commercials being shown over again in the same break.

 Along with this I've noticed constant promos - often a promo for the show I am currently watching.  I mean do they really need to promote the program you are already  watching during the commercial breaks of the program you are already watching?  Seriously?
