I spilled 5 gallons of boiling water over my leg at a clam bake. Avoid that if at all possible. Ended up in the burn ward & went through a skin graft. Avoid that as well. The upside is my oldest daughter came to see me. I hadn't seen or talked to her in several years. I remembered how others have handled these meetings & followed their example. I avoided arguing. I told her some day this will all work out & that I will always love her. I would like to think that I will see her & my grandchildren some day. In any event, I was happy to see her again. By the way, I didn't even get one lousy clam.
Got to talk with my JW daughter

So sorry to hear you were burned!But how wonderful that you got to see your daughter. Are you going to have to injure yourself on a regular basis in order to see her again?
Is a clam bake boiling the clams?

Thanks all for your kind remarks. I can't speak for the rest of the country, but here in upstate New York that is what we call boiling a crap load of clams & inviting all your friends over. I spilled the very first pot, was rushed to the hospital & didn't get even one lousy clam. Next time I'm going to have the damn thing catered. I did, though, get to speak to my daughter. I even got a get well card from her. Almost was worth it.
