re: #38 makeitstop

Just reading that made my sphincter tighten.

I’ve broken both the pinkie and index fingers on my left (fretting) hand, and I’m totally paranoid about operating power tools. I even get nervous using my Dremel.

makeitstop = power tool wuss.

For me it was years in my teens and early twenties working in a variety of restaurants. It never happened, but I had dreams of slicing my fingertips off on the deli meat and cheese slicer (of course, I cut myself several times with knives; I almost lost a job when one of my bandaids found its way into a customer’s quesadillo sauce—I should have lost my job, but it was the ’80s).
