Like Texican said, be current on your shots. I was ripping out countertop a couple of years ago and cut a chunk of the laminate stuck in my hand - managed to pull it out, but didn't want to get it stitched up that day since it was weekend and I'd have blown my insurance allowance for the year in a single visit - waited until Monday to go see my general practitioner. The blank look on my face when asked when my last tetnus shot was clued them in that it was time for a booster ...

Yeah, I've read several stories about people dying after a ridiculously small wound to the thigh.

I thought you were in the restaurant business?

Didn't work out. The only reason I didn't starve to death in that business is that I was surrounded by food all the time..................

That's a shame. I lost track of your threads about it but it sounded like all was going well except for the 80 hr. work weeks. I'm helping a friend get set up in a mobile BBQ shack business.

.................This is a good idea ! There is one of these just down the road from me , trailer is about 8'x8'x30' , they sell LOTS of BBQ . I usually purchase a chopped beef sandwich for $5.05 which includes tax . It is really full of meat and they use an extra large bun . They also include a slice of onion and a half of a dill pickle . They must do all their cooking some place else and bring the cooked with them too the trailer . Lady working there says they sell out of most items by early afternoon . , fordy
