Re: Way OT: EM fingers!

[Richard Sales <richard@glasswing.com>]

My Better Judgement lost the feeling in her index finger after squishing it big time with a sledge hammer.  It looked like a red banana that had been stepped on.  After a year of trying everything else, acupuncture brought back the feeling in one visit.  

Go for it.  It's usually pretty cheap - at least compared with a regular doc.

Now... stabbed by a girlfriend?  Are you Robert Johnson maybe?  Have you ever made any unusual deals with strange creatures with two funny pointy things on their heads?  And did your playing improve dramatically after that?
