Think about what you're saying. I remember when you were SigForum's cell phone guru. Could have developed brain cancer if you had stayed around all of those crazy RF waves.

But on a serious note - thank you.

TWC screwed their email servers up. BH, RR, Charter, TWC all down.

Have you tried wound powder?

table salt also works, and works well,

stings like a bitch for a few seconds until your endorphins kick in, but it will stop the bleeding (or at least for fingers,, )

Corn starch is what I put on the dogs nails when I cut em ..... Lol !

Glad you're safe. Thank you for going forward not running away.

sounds like everyone did what had to be done. We can't speculate on why a bad guy (even MI) does what he does. We just react. You are right about your scrapes and abrasions, just suck it up, cupcake. It will add to your badass rep, and that's a good thing. It's a good thing because it instills confidence in you : everyone will know what a stand-up guy you are, not a weenie or a crybaby. Shots fired always have, and always will, suck the big one. God, I hated bar brawls.
Glad you are OK, relatively, and that your crews are okay too.
In my experience, suicidals don't wear body armor, and they have a straightup shootout, not a pursuit first.

Were you wearing pants at the time?

Glad you and your associates were not seriously injured, Kevin.

One more hour and I'll try anything... I've already tried H2O2, Bactine, and soap/water.... It sucked, each time.

We'll change bandages for the 4th time and then go to bed. It has at least slowed to a slow, slow trickle...

Oh, man. Peroxide doesn't do anything but hurt.

I'm glad everything worked out as well as it did, could have been worse.

That guy had problems. At least he's got some kind of peace now, and didn't take anyone with him.

What happened to the asshole?
Bet the ER stopped his bleeding...

Alum is good astringent(shaving pencils). Silver nitrate is solid for serious wounds. Stops bleeding right now. Get it off Amazon.
