Yikes – that does sound painful! go see a doctor!!!! sorry, that’s the mom in me.
I didn’t really hurt cause it was a quick clean cut and I dabbed neosporin on it right away. I think it’s going to hurt after it wears off though. I’m just hoping I didn’t stick the bandaid over my flesh…. not going to think about it now. It’s not serious enough to see the doctor.
Ouch! Poor thumb! :(
owwwww
Ouch!
Glad you’re still able to type!
Good point __ Morgana __ !!! First thing I thought of was ‘go see the doctor’ and the second thought was ‘stitches’ and the third ‘antibiotics’!
Are you SURE you don’t need stitches? I did something very similar, swore I didn’t need stitches, my husband insisted on going to the emergency room – and I needed 20 stitches! If it doesn’t look like it is closing up by mon morning go see the dr!!!
Typing isn’t a problem as I don’t use my right thumb very often, I’m relying on the pointer finger instead. First thing I thought was, woahhhh, that’s a huge chunk of flesh. Did I just cut myself!?!?
You know…. I’ve never had stitches in my life, not once. It seemed to have sealed up yesterday evening, but I think I opened it a up a little. It’s pretty difficult to grip on things without a thumb.
It’s like no one ever thinks about little miss pinkie toe. I mean what would happen if we were missing that toe!?!?
OUCH!!! I’ve never had stitches either. Hope it heals quickly.

I’ve been #9 and #11 before… it’s only a matter of time!
I believe in you! You’ll get there eventually! Apparently I responded thirty minutes after his email.
This takes me back to when I tried to win albums by calling radio stations and being the #whatever caller. Of course in those days, it was a challenge because there was no speed dial. Actually, we were the only family on the block that still had a phone with a dial, so when I actually managed to win, I felt especially smug about it. Lol.
I remember those days, Morgana! I remember being the proud winner of a Bobby VInton 45 RPM—not the classic “Blue Velvet” but one “Mr. Lonely”.
I have won the 52teas contest once a few months ago, I confess.
You just think you won’t miss it. Just wait, after a few cups of this you will be oddly addicted to it and need it every day.
Haha I use to play those radio station games too! I never won! :(
Perhaps when it gets a bit warmer Kristin =P. I’ve had three cups and I don’t miss it yet. I do miss Pina Colada every once in a while. Should I add a dash of sugar to bring out the flavors of this tea a little more?
Definitely add a little sugar. Just a little.
Yes, a little sugar will help bring out the flavors a little bit.
And a bit of salt too? I believe you use salt to make ice cream :)
You can try salt, if you want. I do add a little salt to some teas, like the bacon tea and the white chocolate cashew. This brings out some of those notes a bit. I would first try it with just a little sugar, and see what that does for you, and then if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, try a tiny pinch of salt. I haven’t tried salt in this particular tea… but, I have tried sugar. And it worked well.
No, the salt is to bring down the temperature of the ice when making ice cream. Doesn’t go in the ice cream. :P

nooooooooo
Come on where’s the rooibos love?
Free the Rooibos!
It’s okay AmazonV we can start a new club.
Rooibos and love do not go together.
Are we starting a save the rooibos campaign o.O
rooibos + love = chippie love?
Ricky we’re saving rooibos, and hibiscus…. (so we can have them all, shh)
swoops we’ll save you, we’re bringing you to a preserve, a tea preserve

1. congrats on winning! 2. i’m voting for you! 3. your platform – small samples! save space (in cupboards)! more variety to taste! small is good! YAY!!!
Thanks! Haha, we definitely need more small samples. I have so much tea…. my cardboard box is overflowing! I need to give some away, but I haven’t had time to dig through and figure out what needs to go.
Kristin started a discussion on sample sizes http://steepster.com/discuss/564-online-tea-shops-with-sample-sizes so I’ve been looking at that discussion to see which companies offer great sample sized teas. But it’s only making me want more tea (a bit contrary to what I’m trying to accomplish by buying smaller quantities/sizes). LOL!
Shouldn’t they melt? I mean boiling water + chocolate = melted chocolate. ME, ME! for sampler sets!
Congrats!
Told you it paid off!
Congrats on the winning, I am still trying and keep coming in like 11, 12, 14, someday I’ll win it!! And I totally agree with the sampler packs, there are a few I would love to try but do not want a full 2 ounces, just in case ;)
I have to dig up the list I made which had tea companies / sampler sizes / prices.
Morsels don’t seem to melt when you bake them and I’m sure the temperature in an oven is higher than 212F, but then again no water is involved =]
Thanks Morgana!
Haha, going to win again!
I’ve been #9 and number 11 or 12 recently. So close, and yet so far. I agree about samplers, especially for 52teas since they have such unique flavors. There are so many that I want to try, but am afraid to buy a whole pkg of! If I’m ever in Wichita, Kansas, I’m definitely visiting Zoomdweebies tea bar!
Congrats on winning! Also, I agree about the sample idea. I just put in an order from 52teas but I’m not sure what I’m going to like.
What did you order Erin?
Cofftea – I ordered the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Honeybush, Cucumber Melon Green Tea, and Apple Honey Black Tea. I’m so excited! All 3 of those sound like they would be really good iced, which is what I’m looking for right now.
I’m tempted to get the Pineapple, but I have too much tea! I need to finish some a lot before I move on. It’s pretty bad when my cupboard box is overflowing.
Ricky, I’ll gladly send you a sample of the Pineapple when I get my order. Even if I end up loving it, it would take me forever to get through 2 oz on my own!
Thanks for reminding me to try cucumber melon iced- it was really good hot, I prefer it hot over the white cucumber from Adagio.
Aww, thanks Erin! =]
Lol! Nasty bunnies!
Bad bunnies! Bad! Hee hee hee!
I second the lol! Bunny violation! Plus my mind went to Anya from Buffy which is an added bonus :)
You better hurry up and get rid of the snow bunnies before they get dust bunnies. LOL
I know these bunnies are evil! Bunny teas are not to be trusted!!! Luckily it seems Steepster only carries beach and snow bunnies.
hey, leave my bunnies outta this!
Your bunny is just as guilty and you know it!
::rabbit disapproves:: ;)
lol! man i wish lolbunnies was up right now so i could link that disapproving rabbit
lolbunnies? LOL! I only know this one: http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/
it was like this: http://icanhascheezburger.com/tag/lolbunnies/ but a whole site of them – my bunnies fail to disapprove or cute they just flop
Oh teh cute! ::splodes::
A year ago a friend of mine showed me the icanhascheezburger link… and I said really? Once again I laugh and go really!?!?
Oh bunnies… I think I have a picture of my friend’s bunny that looks just like that brown one . It was one stinky bunny.
Oh lolbunnies…. too cute, I can’t stand it…
