OMG, I got Vick's Vaporub in my eye.

[Jamastiene]

I knew I could type 1 handed, but not 1 eyed. This is an eye closing experience. OWWWWWWW!!!!

:yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks: :yoiks:

1. I hear spiders are attracted to Vaporub...

Actually, I made that up, just wanted to see how well you could read with one eye.

[DarkTirade]

2. Why'd you do a thing like that?

There are better ways to look for a new thrill, y'know.

[Jamastiene]

10. I wanted to "see" what it felt like.

:P

Actually, it was an accident. I had a sinus headache and applied the Vick's under my nose and on my forehead. Next thing you know, my eye itched. I'm only now beginning to recover...slightly. :wow:

3. I accidentally got Tiger Balm on my hoo-hoo once.

YEEEOOOOOOCCCHHHHHHHH

[Jamastiene]

11. I would think that is worse.

:wow:

[Sebastian Doyle]

21. It surely is!

Tiger Balm on the "sensitive parts" is every bit as painful as habanero pepper juice.

If it didn't work so damn well for it's intended purpose, I'd never touch the stuff again after that. :scared:

[KitchenWitch]

26. It was pretty intense.

25. Bet ya won't do THAT again.....nt

4. I've learned not to rub my eyes

after applying Mineral Ice to sore muscles.

[Jamastiene]

12. I have learned the hard way too.

5. "Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes"

[Jamastiene]

13. I wish I had seen that before it

BLINDED me, maybe, for life. :yoiks:

6. Getting hot-chili residue in my eye a couple months ago was fucking awful.

Now I have at least a vague idea of what it's like to be pepper-sprayed... :-(

[Jamastiene]

14. I once grew some great tasting cayenne peppers in one of my gardens.

They were nice and red from vine ripening in the sun. I was so glad they were finally ready to eat. So I picked them (bare handed) and put them on the edge of the deck while I wandered happily around the garden to get some other veggies for dinner.

In a few minutes, a gnat flew in my eye.

I had always thought I could not open my eyes under water in a friend's swimming pool with its gentle ripples of water. She laughed at me for that for years, actually.

That day, I learned I can hold my eye open under the hose pipe and cry and scream like a baby all at the same time. :cry:

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Hope you've been rinsing your eye out with water

Vaporub main ingredient is camphor.
:hug:


owie :cry:

[Heidi]

8. The up side, Jama, is

that you'll probably NEVER do that again. :hug: :loveya:

[Jamastiene]

15. With me, that's a 50/50 "maybe" type thing.

I've been known to do something a second time just to make sure I had the right offending element. :P

[Heidi]

18. That's like the time my sister-in-law's cat fell into our koi pond.

I said to CMW, "Well, he'll probably never try _that_ again." I was wrong. x(

[Jamastiene]

19. I usually learn after the second time though.

So, there is SOME good news. :P

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. Tough call there for the kitteh

They hate water, but they love fish. What's a cat to do? :shrug:

[Heidi]

23. The cats are all scared to death of our fish.

The biggest koi is about 20 inches long and the smallest is probably 16 inches long. Usually, the cats just watch from a safe distance. Here's our cat, The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, watching Bob. :hi:

[orleans]

9. i LOVE the smell of vicks.

sometimes, just for a thrill, i'll open the jar and sniff!

hum....i might go find it now.

thanks for making me think of it!

[Jamastiene]

16. I do too.

I wish Mentholatum had been on sale when I got it. I like that even better. :D

[Indi Guy]

17. I never liked Vick anyway ...n/t

[Jamastiene]

20. He ALWAYS had it in for my eyes, didn't he?

:P

[foxfeet]

24. A friend of mine grabbed the wrong tube in the dark

and realized too late he was brushing his teeth with Peri-anal Cream.
