Garry, If keeping up with this thread kept you home instead of tipping over your neighbors outhouses and egging cars, like you usually do on Halloween, it was surely worth it for the over-all good of mankind!

What is your address, by the way?
All's forgiven (not forgotten!).

...hey guys this isn't anything a little WALL-TO-WALL counseling won't fix...or maybe a towel full of oranges...or maybe some cement shoes... (must be the Chicago coming out in me...)

Gee....Maybe you and John Kerry should get together! I too do not see any humor here.

When my Dad was a teen, they moved outhouses back 4 or 5 feet further from the house in the night. This was as funny as that, except it was OUR OUTHOUSES that Ash moved back! It's rarely as funny when the prank's on you (or me). Ash, you get the job of putting our outhouses back in order...watch where you step!
Personally, I'm just glad it was a joke!

Garry, it will heal and you WILL carve again. Been there done that not once but 5 times I have had broken bones in my hands, most times the right (I am right handed), all times a horse did it.

If it isn't your "writing" hand you could do some nice burnings while waiting. ?

Chin up, it will turn out okay.

Not meaning to wane too philisophically here but Halloween pranks are not about humor. They are about admitting we all have inner fears that we don't share with anyone else and finding a way to face those fears.

Halloween is about taking control of those things that frighten us ... as the monster under the bed that only comes out in the black of night ... by becoming that monster.

Garry's prank was perfect for both Halloween and a group of woodcarvers. What fear could touch all of us but that of losing our ablitlies to create through carving.

Well, Garry, I just read this thread and right after I read your first message, I stopped..paused... and said a very very special prayer for you to the Lord ... I asked him to touch your hand etc and heal it so you could carve again.. hummmm????? now you have to go to the one I prayed too to explailn...!!! and I will say another prayer for you right away... Don't worry, we have all had to go pray for understanding.. I am just glad you are o.k. Charlotte P.S... remember the llittle boy who cried WOLF! We all love ya and forgive ya though...
