Get well soon. I never messed with gasoline too much, thankfully. When I was a kid ... You know how in the cartoons, when some character pours a long long line of gunpowder leading to a pile, and then lights it, it burns slowly like a fuse? Yeah well, it doesn't do that, I'm here to tell you. Don't do that. LOL. Thankfully, eyebrows grow back.

I certainly learned my lesson. And I certainly know things could have been much worst. But I do maintain a sense of humor about the whole thing. I received a card form folks at work, and one guy called me a real life Wiley Coyote.

I never screw with gasoline. Not to sound preachy but I just screw with using it other than it's intended use. When I was a kid my dad told me a story about a friend of his who was going to use gasoline to clean some spark plugs. He didn't get to them but his kid hear him talking about doing it so his son and a friend when out behind the gas station the guy owned and filled a coffee can with gas and started cleaning the plugs. Something went wrong and the gasoline was ignited and blew up in the kid's face. This story was scary enough when you hear about it as a kid. Then one day I happen to be walking somewhere and this kid came around the corner and his face and ears looked like melted plastic. It was my dad's friend's son. I never met him before, he was about my age. Pretty damn scary, set me straight on the dangers of gas.
