-Thanks for your recording Niccea! It was better than what I got over SKype, but unfortunately Audacity crshed every single time I tried to do anything with it… So rather than trying to work on it all night I just used what I had (already been at it a few hours).
Thank you for doing that though, I really appreciate it! It's just a pity Audacity was being such a dick on my comp :(

Back in the day they used to recommend that serious burns have the bandages changed frequently. It wasn't until very recently that the doctors realized that third degree burns with a high rate of changed bandage have a higher chance of infection than not.
Third degree burns are not usually a weeping kind of wound past the first day, though it depends upon the case. The hospital said that the bandage wouldn't be soaked through and that it shouldn't need a change for the first week, but that if it did come off for some reason we were to repeat the anti-bacterial cream dosage and immediately rebandage the hand.
I can't tell you how many people I've had tell me to put Aloe Vera on it since we've been home, too.
Aloe Vera is great for minor burns, but for something like this it would be akin to poring aloe vera into an open wound.

You know sometimes I forget how old everybody here is until I start reading posts about people with three kids and bypass surgeries and recent cataracts.

Hey now, I only just turned 23. I don't think that's “old” in anybody's book but my son's.

We were watching football last night and there was a commercial on the TV with a door bell ringing. When my dog heard it, she ran to the front door of the house. Since it was so funny, we rewound that part of the commercial about 10 times and watched her run between the front and back doors trying to figure out who was ringing the bell. By the 11th time, she figured it out and stared at the TV.

My mom asked for a painting for Christmas, to which I thought “thank goodness” because I'm kind of out of spending money right now, but I just realized I should probably frame it. :\ I hope frames aren't expensive.
I don't shop very often, so I always forget how easy it is to spend money. Especially on gifts and books, which is where all my money has gone to now.

Hippie, it depends on where you get your frame. There is a chain hobby-craft supply store Michael's that's here in the south. They do sell frames there, though they are very overpriced. We also have a locally owned supply store called I've Been Framed! that does unique framing jobs at a very reasonable price.
Also, tornado watch. Again. What the heck is up with this crazy weather?! Winter is always a calm time around here, but we've had so many twisters in the past few weeks it's enough to make me think twice about this whole “world ends in 2012” theory*.
*(Not really, but you get my point)

Bahahaha…don't jump, I loved it!
Also, my husband is going out for recirtification on his Tazer Gun this month. I'm seriously considering taping it and posting it for you guys. You'll be able to watch him taken to the ground by his co-workers and hear him screaming in pain as he rides out the twenty second jump, but it might be drowned out by my maniacal laughter.

Yes!! sign up for Secret Santa!!
also - for kicks, I was thinking of doing an audio mash up for the holidays. If you want to participate, record your self singing the Entire “12 Days of Christmas” song and email your recording to me by 2 Dec. that's: drunkduck100@yahoo.com. If you can't sing, a “Rex Harrison” treatment is OK
If I have 12 recordings by 2 Dec, then it's happening. let's see who can sing here on the DD
–
and guess who's got some energy again? that would be ME - - woot! even drove the car a bit today (roads were empty - it's all good)

Lovely… Had this weird dream right before I woke up. I had just watched an entire anime opening for my newer comic (which I'm working on right now as a result), with one notable scene being the male character being chased by a fireball… right through the famous Ninja Warrior (Sasuke) course in Japan! The song used in this opening? “Dominoe” by Jesse J.
And my coworker was telling me I could revive my GeForce 8500GT card by baking it in an oven. I'm very highly skeptical on this. I mean… if I could bake something back to life, why am I not hearing about people undergoing this after death?

Didn't you know? People go to crematoriums to be resurrected!
That's how Jesus really did it ;)
Nah, the thing with the 8 series card was supposed to be that there was a fault in the manufacture process where some of the silicone board and circuits would part ways after a while due to heat stresses… or something like that.
Sticking it in the oven is meant to realign things by applying nice even heat to the entire card.
No idea if it works or not, but if the card is dead anyway, you've not much to lose, have you?
I could even try it on mine… don't know if I want to though.

I'm tempted to try it as well, but the idea of anything I bake in that oven having a faint taste of burnt electronics is not something I'd be looking forward to…

http://tech.icrontic.com/article/dead-8800-gtx-scienced-to-undeath-by-oven-mad-owner/
and there are lots of vids on Youtube about it too… Pitty I already replaced that card :(

Use a friend's over then? Maybe that co-worker who suggested the idea?
Just remember to take off the heatsinks and thermal paste etc and don't let it rest directly on a hot surface- the guy in the article rolled up four small foil balls for the corners of his.
And it's on 10 minutes at 350C so that's no so bad.
-As long as you can replace the thermal paste!
