Wilber

Most of us "young Guys" (under the age of 80) still suffer from the "I'm gonna live forever" syndrom. But, every now and again we get a reality check. Ever happen to you? It just happened to me.
Durning the course of this rebuilding thing on the Wilber Ranch I have gotten many new skills and I use the word skill lightly. My most recent project was tileing a shower, pretty fun over all. Little did I know that the 2 part epoxy grout is a substance just under "Lethal" to me. Apparently during the application of said grout I got it on my hands and then in turn, my face. What I woke to the next morning was just short of hideous. Most who know me may use many different words to describe my appearance, but pretty ain't in the list. I looked like a cross between "Thing" from the Fantastic Four and the Elephant Man. Scared the heck out of littlest Wilber, not to mention Mrs. Wilber.
I'm happy to report that after a week or so of burning, itching, peeling and swelling the effects of the Demon Grout have abated and Wilber is back to his previously homely self.
The moral of the story is "If you have never used a product BE CAREFUL, the face you save may be your own.
