Been there recently. I chopped a bunch of Thai chilis to make Prik Nam Pla the other day and and got distracted when the phone rang. I did a quick rinse under plain water before drying my hands with a clean towel. I was gossiping with a buddy like a teenage girl and rubbed my eyes forgetting about chopping the chili's. It only took a few seconds before I realized the mistake I made. It sucked.Hey kids! Just a PSA to remind you not to forget your chili handling hand! View attachment 5213988
That's Icy Hot in the jockstrap kinda pain. Worst part is once it's done, it's done. You just know your screwed and not much you can do about it.Been there recently.

I used to hate possums, but after learning that it is almost impossible for them to catch rabies and they eat ticks like nobody's business I give em a pass.I have a trap setup on my back deck to catch a possum that's been coming nightly to clean up the bird seed spillage. Anyone have any good recipes for possum stuffed with expensive bird seed? I'll post pics with the cleaning and gutting later..... just kidding.
My Rhodesian Ridgeback lost an eye to one here one night. She was off lead because we live out in the boonies and the possum attacked her from a bush she walked by. It was a nasty fight and she ended up with one eye from it. I treat them like the racoons, as long as they stay in the woods they're cute and fine. On the porch is a different story. It's in the trap right now and I'll give it a second chance in the morning by taking it up the mountain a bit and letting it go. The wife doesn't want me to shoot it because it's cute. If it comes back though...I fking love possums they look so cute. And the ones I;ve seen on the tube were not even aggressive... You'd probably need t put your hands in its mouth before they bite.

Nope. Those things can be vicious. We had one in our house once. I was like 5-6 playing with my cat with a ball and all of a sudden the cat backed off and looked all freaked out. I went over and saw this little fucker hissing and growling at me. It took 2 Animal Control guys to get him out and into their truck. One on each side.I fking love possums they look so cute.

Possums pay a ton to their PR people for reputation management. They need to since they are such assholes.I reckon a dog is a pretty scary creature to a possum
