Darn! Burned my thumb on the coffee maker. Now I can't open my cell phone

[applegrove]

unless i type in the numeric code. Will my fingerprint grow back to be the same? I now have a huge blister right on the middle of the pad of my thumb.I will update. So you know.

1. I'm a baker

I've done that. It will be fine once the blister heals.

[applegrove]

10. Good to know.

2. Your print will regrow

as long as you don't pop that blister and get it infected. The fluid inside the blister is sterile and protects the new skin as it regrows underneath. It will pop on its own in the next 5-7 days.

7. I know that is what you're supposed to do

but when it's on the end of a finger it is so counter intuitive that it's almost impossible to do.

8. Thanks for the advice. I do have a tendency to operate on myself so I will not touch it.

12. I've always used a fluffy gauze banage that gets in the way

and of course I play the martyr to the hilt (fine now since I live alone). It doesn't last long.

3. I set mine up to recognize either thumb

9. Mine only works on the one thumb.

22. I added my left thumb as an alternate print. Helps when my right thumb is wet.

Or burnt I suppose. Haven't tested that one....

4. I know a woman with no fingerprints ....... wore them off

5. Now you have an excuse not to answer if work calls.

[applegrove]

11. I suppose I could use my nose! LOL!

[Doreen]

16. True.

6. When I was but a wee lad

I touched the outside exhaust pipr of a natural gas space heater, blistering four fingertips. My fingerprints were gone, but they grew back OK.

[applegrove]

14. For some reason I was getting leverage with my thumb and put it down on the burner

and did not know I had in fact inadvertantly turned the coffeemaker on. Dam you digital machines. I was reading the instruction manual and holding it with the other hand. Too many things going on at once.

[pangaia]

13. That'll teach ya to use those hi falutin gizmos. (Or is it gizmi?)

I mean like thumb secret codes...

[applegrove]

15. Too many instruction on my digital coffeemaker. Now I am one digit short for

the next week.

[pangaia]

17. digital coffee maker?

Yikes.

I use an aeropress each and every day...
Bet i can make coffee faster than you can.. at least for a week or 2..

Maybe try it while your thumb heals. I mean, now you can't waste time on your 'mobile device.'

[applegrove]

18. The very tip of my thumb is fine so I can type in the number code and get

in my phone.

[pangaia]

19. Great.

Hope it heals quickly.

[applegrove]

20. Yes. I will try my thumb in a few weeks and see if the fingerprint has changed.

21. It sucks - to be you
