And why aren’t you telling us about the hole finger?

Google suggests it’s a term used by manual workers, but AFAICT it is not defined anywhere. I’m gonna guess it’s a) the index, aka pointy finger and b) a regional expression, probably from someplace where people drop their r’s and where _prima_ and _primer_ sound alike. 😃 Where you from, **lieu**?

Got em prescribed but never picked 'em up. No real pain, just a low throb.

I’m having a HS flashback becaise I broke & dislocated my pinkie of my right hand Sr. year so had to wear a splint all through the AP tests; it’s a miracle anyone could read what I wrote. Just tried writing fior the first time this morniong, Not pretty (neither am I, since I skipped shaving this miorning, too).

Soldiering on–am at work niow; we’ll see how things go befiore I decide I may need tot ake off.

Thanks again, everybody. 🙂

Obviously you’re not getting your porn through the internet. One handed porn surfing is the standard. 😛

Try to work in: stewardesses, typewriters and reverberated. Nice, long words that only require the left hand.
