Just for a chuckle…
If it weren’t for the wonders of fingernail polish remover, I might have been unable to ever post another anything.
My daughters went to a b-day party where they did foam crafts. They made the cutest sunglasses, necklaces and flip-flops. The flips flops had these skinny, curly, foamy thingies tied to them…and they dragged on the ground. So I got out the Super Glue (you can tell where this is heading, can’t you?) and successfully glued one of the curly clusters so they didn’t drag. Somehow, on the second flip-flop, the glue oozed down onto my third finger, and, viola! I was fused to the flip-flop. I had to find a bottle of nail polish remover, so I ended up walking in the cul-de-sac (educating the kids in the neighborhood about the risks of using Super Glue as I went) until I was able to procure (from my neighbor) a bottle of the stuff that set me free. (She, of course, laughed out loud.) I probably should have taken a picture. It was hilarious.

i used to super glue plastic covers on my cats claws (see softpaws.com) and I’d often get them glued onto everything but my cat including my fingers. i gave up and am now reconsidering declawing.

I too have had super glue stuck to me, I tired to rub it off by rubbing my two fingers together and they got stuck. Thank goodness it wasn’t alot! I will now buy the super glue that won’t bond to flesh!

Here’s the big question:
“Will you add nail polish remover to your shopping list?”

yah, you would think that would be a good thing for me to have in my MEDICINE CABINET, since this is the second time I have done something like this! (and I’m not much of a nail polish person). I actually have some somewhere around the house, and didn’t really feel like walking around with that thing stuck to my hand for any longer than I had to. Just think of the great influence I had on the neighborhood kids…. And I’m sure my neighbor benefited from the laughter this elicited.
