Kelli is my hero.
MBV's tips are a bit bulbous/large but easily worked around. If you have hand tremors as I do sometimes it just takes a little extra patience and I will brace my elbow on a table or something to help steady my hand.
didn't you hear, doug....we don't need another hero.
i can see where it would be a tricky if you are unsteady with your hands. luckily i am only unsteady on my feet
Glad to see your 'vacation' wasn't very long... although we missed you lots anyways {{virtual hugs}} (they are much more gentle on tender shoulders)

Gravity... yup, still working. Just had to check.
Shin (noun) - device used to find furniture in the dark
well thats not a very nice thing to say
No it wasn't. Truthfully though I think only a few people would understand when I say I felt really bad using that word, people who suffer from mental disabilities deserve better than that and I was insensitive to use that word.

No wonder I have trouble, I'm unsteady with both *and* my eyesight is shot!
I have found that one "gets the trick" of the mini ptIIs fairly quickly though, even with the MBV bottles.
Totally off topic, but re-igniting my love for 'The Perry Bible Fellowship'. It's one of the most sardonic, twisted comics online, and I love them all.

oh i just love twisted, dark, wrong humor. that was funny.
Jame's team was nice enough to throw in a couple of the needle tips they had laying around and I have been using those recently. For the 3 15ml bottles I keep with me on the go I just use a table or whatever is handy to brace my arm. I really don't even think about working around the hand tremors anymore. I was born with some kind of nerve disorder that wasn't even recognized as a disorder until a few years ago so I've always just dealt with it. It was the main reason why I went all crazy for computers at such a young age because I had trouble with pens/pencils and writing more than a page at a time without it causing me difficulties. So working around it is just second nature.
I appreciate your apology, Doug... most people don't bother. "That word" isn't allowed in our house, for obvious reasons. We use "lazy," "ignorant," "ridiculous," or "dumb," as appropriate. And yes, if one wanted to be pedantic, "dumb" has its own checkered past, but like a lot of words, the meaning is much broader these days. I think the r-word is headed in that direction, and in a generation or two, the sting from that one may have faded enough to make it general parlance... but the deciding factor for *me* in "is this word acceptable" is "is it commonly used as an attack on a particular group of people?" If so, I'm careful with it. It's hard to describe the *lingering* trauma words can cause, especially because it feels so silly to admit that a single word can ruin your day.
It took me decades to get comfortable with "cripple" because I heard it as a pejorative a lot as a kid. I'm still careful when and how I use it, because I know others haven't come to terms with it as I have. "Gimp" has always been an affectionate term in my mind (learned it as a self-referential from disabled mentors at camp, never had it thrown at me in a nasty way), but my sister still *hates* it, so I never use it to refer to her, and I try not to use it *around* her, either.
That was horrible. From now on when conversing with a cyber tard, please refer to them as a re-re.
The steeped stuff I got from Khala was delicious, but I can tell my fresh bottle is going to need a good long time to get there. I'm not even touching this bottle till it's the same dark, translucent amber as the pifed one.

Then you will love pretty much all of TPBF. Some of them might take a minute or two to 'get', but they rarely disappoint.
It was my own stupidity and I am sorry. I should know better, my wife's brother died when he was 17, he somehow got out of the assisted care home he was in and was hit by a drunk driver. He and my wife both got very sick when they were babies and they weren't able to get his fever down in time before brain damage occurred. So yeah, I feel terrible about it and am letting it serve as a reminder to myself.... "Doug, don't be an idiot."
