Plastic Bag Alert!!!

Unread post by taylordb » Sun Aug 24, 2003 6:04 am

OK, I'm talking about the type of bags they give you at the grocery store.

I was moving my daughter into her dorm room earlier this week and we had allot of her things in those plastic bags. I'm sure everyone has done this, but you can carry a bunch of those filled bags if you just thread your hand through the handle holes.

To make a long story short, we had to walk from a parking lot WAY far away...across a field, and up MANY flights of stairs...all while holding these bags. Apparently, one of the handles was looped over the tip of my pinky finger (left hand) and either cut off the circulation or pinched a nerve because I have absolutely NO feeling in one half of the tip of my pinky....and this has lasted for 3 days (and still counting) :shock:

Since I have gotten used to playing Dave the way he plays, I use my pinky ALOT, an boy has this screwed things up.

Anyway, I'm just throwing this out there so that others could be aware of what could happen.

go to a doctor and tell him if he doesnt fix you're finger, you're going to smash your guitar over his head. (although, judging by your ID, don't use your taylor, might be a little pricey to replace :lol: )

haha. Dude I rapped an bandage around my wrist after spraining it. and didnt notice that i had put it on too tightly. I thought that whole turning blue thing was a crock, but no! That's true. MY hand turned completely blue. It was gross shit.

You should go to the doctor about that. That sucks nuts. You might not want to waste a good guitar on him though....
