sysdexlicwriter There should be a good answer on wikipedia for this. I "googled" how to treat a hit finger and it came up with a site that talks about if you hit your finger with a hammer. I don't have any idea if this will work. One of the cautions might be not to do...

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 18 Jan 11

If we fill the mind, our very being, with an expectancy of God we will see his manifestation, in the wind, the sun, the earth, the flowers, and all inhabitants of the earth. Most importantly however, we will find within ourselves...

franne32 @franne32 (694) • Philippines 18 Jan 11

TwiKnight @TwiKnight (107) • Malaysia 18 Jan 11

I tend to leave my phone charging in a corner before going off doing something else for hours on end. Will leaving my phone charging for too long harm it in the long run? How so?

sysdexlicwriter I can tell you what happens if you don't charge your phone long enough. I seem to always plug it in 5 or 10 minutes before I have to go someplace and then it never really fully charges. I could not figure out how friend's phones were staying charged for so...
