Apple decided they could make their telephone more indispensable by offering this feature - providing the service all the time by default, without people wearing a extra pedometer. 1 hour ago, Grizz said: Could this be data harvesting for future private medical insurance?

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 5 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5 I didn’t know there was medical grade superglue. Perhaps I should get some. I do bleed quite,profusely from small cuts. However the last two bleeds have been from my nose so perhaps glue is not a good idea. The last one was while we were out walking. It was rather cold that day and I think that helped it to stop fairly quickly. 4 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I cut my head, they glued it together with medical superglue, rather than stitch it, like they used to. Obviously they clean you up first. 5 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Give it a few days and I should be able to sand the glue off and the cut will have healed. I have a feeling that superglue was found useful in treating certain types of battle field injuries…although I do admit that this could just be one of those urban myths…? Anyone know? 3 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that medical grade costs many times more. I believe that it was invented to glue wounds together in Vietnam. Activated by moisture and exposure to air I think. Bon courage.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted March 5 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 5 I got my quiet day. I had a walk along some of the nearby streets during which I saw a nice bungalow for sale. I don't want to move now but have looked up the price for interest. It is quite a bit smaller than my house but is nearly twice the price. If I get problems with using my stairs a stair lift would be much cheaper. On the way back I called in to see some friends, they were quite surprised as they were just dialling my phone number to ask if I'd like to go round. Obviously great minds think alike. I returned home just in time to get my lunch, then did part of a crossword. In the end my eyes wouldn't stay open so I went to lie down and had a sleep which seems to have done me good. Next is tea then the big decision of deciding what if anything to watch tonight. I think it will be an early night. All I'll say about cut fingers is that it is very easy to do when dissecting animals and even easier when cutting thin sections of plant material with a cut throat razor to put on microscope slides. A layer of blood on the section does not help, it obscures the detail and other colors are better for staining things. David 1 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ian Abel Posted March 5 Popular Post Share Posted March 5 Chewsday Noticed faceache was broken earlier today, though it was my end, so dutifully tried to reset the password. Back working now but I'm unsure if the password reset took or not!! Fluster cuck abounds with these platforms... Nothing of note for yesterday, work and little else on the agenda. Much the same expected today, although it's "Super Tuesday" meaning the presidential primary, identifying who may run as president later this year. Non-binding, in the sense that "anyone" could be a write-in candidate and win the election even if not put forward as a choice from said primary. Generally a poor turnout for primaries here overall, but we'll go even if others are too disinterested and will accept any outcome... Jemma will be here later today, probably early/mid evening, to pick up Whitney. She has a late flight back from Rome. -1c and partly cloudy first thing, 7c the forecast high. Later. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted March 5 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 5 2 hours ago, Grizz said: Just cut a 10mm slice in the tip of my right index finger with a Stanley knife. A surgical cut, probs 2mm deep. Worrying it didn’t hurt. Last time i did something like this I used no nonsense industrial super glue and glued it shut, after first cleaning it up. There didn’t appear to be any side effects. Now my question is, bearing in mind that this isn’t medical superglue, is this exceedingly dangerous or an acceptable risk? I need it to stop bleeding and I need to be able to use my finger fairly quickly. Answers…not on a post card please…. File this for future reference , found with google . Super glue can be a viable option if used under the right circumstances (small and clean cut, not too deep and not infectious). If you choose to use household super glue or even over-the-counter adhesive products, do so with caution and full understanding of the risks, including infection and scarring. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
