Re: RE: [CHAT guy topics< duct tape

Melody - I did the same thing one time when I damn near sliced two
fingers off w/ a bread knife. Was laid off from work so no insurance for
hospitals or doctors. I taped them back together and left them that way
for a week or two. They healed up great w/ (thank God) no nerve damage
or anything. You can't even see the scars anymore.

Yep - good thing duct tape is.
