Nuff said
I felt so bad - he tried. Everything he started, was missing parts to finish/short of what we thought & planned for/ brought about new issues that needed fixing :/ Poor guy. 
Man, that was sooooo good 
Come to find out, he had been 'experimenting' with different methods while he was away. Sneaky man! 
The woman who runs the place is full of info, and she won't put anything out for sale until she's tested it in her own garden. She said the lifters are VERY good, so I'm excited to get them in the ground! The past two nights have been high 30's/low 40's, so it looks like tomorrow will be my first opportunity to get them in the ground. Out of all the seedlings I started, the only ones I couldn't replace from her greenhouse were pak choi and Heinz ketchup tomatoes. That's not too bad. Also got a great deal on two plum trees. Barring me deciding that I have to have cherries, my orchard is complete 
DS was sitting in my chair, with a towel wrapped around his foot. DH, always the calm one in these situations, gently unwrapped the towel, to find that DS had cut his foot just behind the pinky toe, and also sliced back the skin a good ways down the foot. 
You know how you see something gross, and you don't want the person to freak out, so you try to play it off as nothing? Well, I guess I'm not so good at that, because DS saw my face and started freaking out 'Seen it All' hubby just calmly gathered up the first aid stuff, cleaned the wound, and wrapped it up. I was thinking we should take him to the ER, but DH said it was shallow and didn't need stitches, so they couldn't do anything more than we could. So, to stop making DS panic, I set about cleaning the mess! There was blood on the kitchen floor, all over the living room carpet, all down the hall, on the bathroom floor, and even on the bathroom walls! It seems that, while filling up the dogs water, DS spilled some, then slipped in it, and caught his foot on a sharp piece of metal under the dishwasher. He grabbed a towel, hobbled to the bathroom, sat on the edge of the tub and stuck his foot under the water to clean it off. When it kept bleeding, he wrapped a clean towel around his foot, and walked out to the living room to call me. Pretty smart for a 12 year old! Last night, as we changed his bandage, it had already scabbed over and was healing! Seems hubby missed his calling 
It also seems that I suck in high stress situations.WBF: I keep coming back and reading this, it is a good reminder that opportunities wasted aren't necessarily a total loss.Wannabefree said:TOC(The Other Cindi), I have often done the same thing as you described. You never know folks situation, and it's easy to become callous when people take advantage all around you. I may have done the same thing in your situation. Most people would actually. The good thing about your Maker...He made you, He knows you, He knows you'll hesitate, and feel guilty for it. Next time, you'll probably act on that feeling. He knows that too, and the old man in the store.....is probably LOADED and just aggravated that his wife spent all the money out of that account and didn't tell him, and God put him in your path to make you have that twinge to help the next person who really will need your assistance.
And you pulled it together just fine if you were able to get right in there and clean things up while your hubs did the first aid--sounds like you work well together 
Glad it wasn't anything too serious! you must post pics soon BoysSSDreamin said:Thanks Moolie! DS is, at present, milking it for sympathy
Yes, we may have to change WBF's name to The Guru, or Cindi Lama (is that how the Dali Lama spells it?!
