Yikes! We just had an earthquake! Startled me. Almost pitched me forward headfirst onto my computer.

Sorry about that! Hopefully nothing more serious happened to you or someone you know.

So that's what that was! I was making a (late night) fish sandwich and I heard a noise and saw the blinds shaking. I thought it was a rodent darting around in the kitchen. I guess it was an earthquake after all.

Did I mention that I woke up around sunset?

So you're a rooster?

I woke up at 6:00 am At one point, I woke up around 2-3 am daily so I could have enough time to study and complete work while still finishing other things. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time undoing that habit. What's your excuse? Work?

Sunset is a bit earlier than a rooster or even 2am in most places.

Ouch regarding the nail Sorry, wolram. Couldn't you go back to the doctor about the redness? That doesn't sound right.

I think you should have a doctor to take a look at it. Beside tetanus there can also be an inflammation. And there are various other ugly viruses as well. At least I would spend it some whiskey.

It dopes not hurt so i just washed it in anti septic that should be okay should it not?

My grandma always said that one has to watch whether it develops a growing red string. She meant that would indicate a sepsis. Don't know whether it's true or not.

You're in the UK, right? Give 111 a ring if you're worried - they're supposed to provide advice without you needing a GP/out of hours docs/A&E.

i'd soak it in antiseptic solution. When i crushed a big toe they told me to mix Betadine in hot water and soak twenty minutes a day.
Puncture wounds are difficult for unlike a wide cut they don't bleed enough to wash themself clean.

In which region do you live?

San Diego. Here's the report:

If no maggot comes out in a couple of days, I think you are fine.
I would be more worried about a big callus that gets developed after your open wound is healed. That annoying thing is more hurtful while walking barefoot.

I don't have a particularly common first name. However, today, of the first four people to sign into an online seminar, three of us had the same first name. The fifth person to join had a foreign variant spelling of the same name. After that about another dozen people joined, and I think that there were no repeated names except for the four of us.

It was odd to see.

But you're sure it wasn't a seminar about your first name?

Pretty sure. My name is not R. I did consider proposing that we make the group "Ibixes Anonymous", only (a) we'd not be anonymous; and (b) "Hello everybody, my name's Ibix, and I'm an Ibix" sounds really silly. Even if you substitute my real name.

The British say: "Don't mention the war!" (John Cleese)
I think it's time for an American version: "Don't mention the wall!"

Apparently no damage or injuries anywhere. A small one, just big enough to startle, is all.

So that's what that was! I was making a (late night) fish sandwich and I heard a noise and saw the blinds shaking. I thought it was a rodent darting around in the kitchen. I guess it was an earthquake after all.

Here it was unmistakable: the house was hit by a sudden wave that perceptibly tilted it. That was followed by about 5 seconds of lower amplitude sloshing around. Still, it seems most people who were asleep were not woken up, and I probably would have slept through it, myself, had I been sleeping. Although I might have had a dream about napping in a car on a bumpy road.
