  • I was 11 or so, on holiday, went horseback riding wearing shorts and thin socks. They set up my stirrups too low and as I held on to the saddle for dear life, one stirrup kept bouncing on my ankle for the entire afternoon.

    My thighs chafed pretty bad, and I got an open wound on my ankle about the size of those souvenir pressed oval coins. I don't know what my dad was thinking, but he treated my wound with some cream and then wrapped my whole calf in plastic wrap every day for about a week.

    The wound turned into an ulcer, I couldn't walk without limping. I had all these little pockets of pus on the edges which my dad had me squeeze to try and make them smaller. It did nothing except be painful.

    I eventually went home to my mom - a nurse - who took one look at my leg and rushed me to a doctor.

    The doctor then proceeded to vigorously clean my wound before dressing it. It felt like hot barbed wire, that really sucked.

    I still have the oval scar on my ankle.

  • I've said it elsewhere, but if you have a seafood allergy and are considering eating bugs, you may get an allergic reaction from them as well.

  • Our bodies may think they're similar enough. People with a seafood allergy are likely to have a reaction to bugs as well.

  • A similar thing happened which led a player to tell me after the - heated - session was over: "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at your character."

    Our group split after that.

  • It was the line painted on the side of the road that was zooming this way and that to keep up with the car. Sometimes it would snake away to a rest stop and then merge with us again after the exit.

  • There was an interesting discussion on tumblr on this very topic. I would also think "what if it were the other way around?" but it can't be compared like that.
