I had once put my hand on a Grill that was on when I was young. Another time I set the coffee table on fire and burned my hand a bit trying to get the flames out.

Ummm I've been burned a few times. The first aid box at my moms house has burn sprays and bandages. Nothing else. That's how often i get burned. They only ever stocked up on that stuff.

The two I remember clearest was with the kettle and with the noodles, I'll tell you both stories.

So me and my sister were arguing in the kitchen. She was making tea and I was pouring myself some water. I don't know what we were arguing about but the kettle boiled and she picked it up and poured the water all over my arm as I was pouring my drink. I let out this allmighty scream and my dad comes running downstairs and drags my arm under the cold tap to try and stop it blistering. It didn't work. bandages on my arm for weeks and I couldn't bend it.

With my noodles? This one is amusing.
I made myself instant noodles and set them down on my bed, infront of my computer and went to the ladies room. I came back and sat on my bed, reaching to pick up the noodles, only the noodles moved before I touched them. Covering my feet and inner thighs in boiling flavoured water. A god almighty scream as I pull off my sock and run to the bathroom, running a cold bath and sticking my foot in the water.
Well when I'd warmed to water up with my burnt foot I decided to empty it and go find my dad to make everything better. He thought I was just shouting at my computer. Put some burn stuff on and told me to stick it in cold water some more. Which I did. Then I'm kinda hazy up until my mom and sister came home. Dad had told them what had happened and my sister came up to find me...almost passed out on the bathroom floor. We went to ER. I had to be carried and had 1st degree burns on my foot. Still have the scar. I was on crutches and almost lost my job (I had to show the scar to convince the boss I wasn't lying).

These stories are getting interesting... :D

When I was in seventh grade, I took a plate of pancakes from heating in the oven without gloves on. *stupid me* and I felt the heat and pain, but I calmly set the plate on the counter before I started screaming! 8)

My teacher, (I was at school when this happened) rushed over, grabbed my hands and stuck them under cold water herself.

I had made up some ramen, from the pot, and the water was boiling hot, and I for some reason didn't add icecubes like I normally do. Well, I sat down on the couch, with my shorts on, and my (special needs) kitty jumped up onto my lap, spilling the ramen all over my lap, I thankfully caught her before she got hurt, and tossed her aside, and my legs got burned really badly, as well as my hands. I had to lay in bed for a few days, with burn ointment on my legs and hands, it was horrible. I still have scarring from it :(

For a while, the pain is bearable because the nerves which would normally hurt because of it are being destroyed. It's the nerves around those nerves which then give the intense pain. That's what i've found at least.

I forgot about grabbing the gobo. :o
One of my fingerprints is a bit more faint from this. A gobo is a cut piece of metal you put into stage lamps to project a picture. Those stage lamps are insanely highly powered lights and generate a lot of heat. Only way they're able to be handled is because of some design changes dispersing some of the heat and handles. Gobos are fitted inside of these conditions where they get insanely hot. Not red-hot, but still pretty bad.
I was helping out with a tech rehersal for a gig a friend of mine was lighting. I came in about half way through since I had something else to do before and started to help out. He wanted a gobo changed on one of the lights. I grabbed the plastic handle on it, pulled it out, let it flip in the air once, and then caught it with my opposite hand on the metal side instead of the plastic. It felt warm, but not hot, nor did it hurt. I walk down the step ladder thing I was using, put the gobo down on the table, grab another one with the same fingers which touched the hot one, and dropped the new one. I looked down and my fingerprints were much less distinct than before. That's when the pain started.

The only time I've been burnt is when not being careful enough in food tech at school. I think I've still got a tiny circular scar on my hand, actually o_O;;

I was making mini camp fires with my ex-step brother (This was about... 7 years ago?) and we were super bored and throwing anything we could find in it. Well... one of them was something that was flamable... (Old paintball) it started sparking like crazy and a spark landed on my leg and I hadn't noticed until it already burned me. .-. It hurt really bad and got all... puss filled... and blistered... it was gross and hurt really bad.

Another time I was at home making grilled cheese sammiches (I was 9) I forgot I left the burner on after finishing it and leaned over the stove putting my wrist against the burner... I screamed in pain and pulled it away only to find my wrist already blistering and quickly ran to the fauset and washed it was cool water. I ended up having to go to the doctor the next morning because it got infected. D:

I have burned many times in many ways

I think the worst time I got burned is when my sister caught the toaster on fire and I had to pull the metal try out of the oven and run it under water. There were no oven mitts around so I pulled it out with my bare hands and threw it in the sink and run it under cold water. After the flames were out I realized my fingers were burnt up, which hurt like heck for a while after that. I've been burned so many other times, but that's the only story I care to post for now.

I once burnt myself on a George Thorman grill. I had put my plastic containers (For taking food to work in) next to it and not realized as I turned it on to make bacon sandwiches. Well next thing I know melted plastic, so in my infinate wisdom I grabbed the grill to move it instead of the plastic boxs. Yeah, I burnt my finger print off. Good job they grow back :P

Thankfully I still had the burn spray from about a week ago when I made myself a microwave dinner and dropped it at work, burning my fingers. I was at work so I IMed my mom and my dad drove down to my office with burn spray.

^_^ What? Me? Accident prone? Never! Especially not with burns!

My most memorable burn happened when I was young and stupid.

I had poured hot water into one of those cup noodles things and I was holding it, waiting for the noodles to soak up the water. I was sitting on the couch doing the 'kid' thing and not paying any attention. I tipped my hand to the side and poured hot water and noodles all over my lap. And just sat there. It didn't hurt much at first, so I kind of whispered, "Ow." Then it got a little worse and my voice got a little louder, "Ow." Then it really started to burn and I just sit there saying, "Ow," over and over again until I'm practically screaming. My mom yelled something at me when she saw what had happened. I don't remember what she said, but it shocked me out of lala-land. Then it dawned on me that the heat was only sticking to me because it soaked into my pants, so there I was dancing around in the living room trying to rip my pants off. ._.;

Luckily, I never actually let the water get boiling hot. (Takes too long to cool and I'm impatient. I always want to eat it right away. xD ) So luckily, it was nothing serious.

Here's mine:
One day, I was talking to my mom. I think I was in sixth or seventh grade and I was wearing a sweatshirt. Sometimes teh air conditioning would work and sometimes it wasn't so the temperature in my house was abnormal. I was talking to my mom next to teh stove (which was on). I started to feel hot but I thought it was just because of the air conditioning problem. Suddenly my mom's eyes widened and she started yelling at me (to move from the stove). I moved and my motehr started yelling at me some more. i looked at my elbow (and around tehre) and there were several holes in the sweatshirt from being burnt. I myself didn't get burnt. Since that day my mom hasn't let me fry anything...

Your turn!

O_O wow, scary.

I almost got burned when I was in cooking class because my partner at that time didn't know how to be careful and she poured the oil at the wrong time. It was like the fire just jumped and become bigger that our teacher have to put it down quickly while the other students were screamming and running away. I was too stunned to do anything at that time...and got a couple strands of my hair burnt, while my friend was safe! >.<




Btw, what's dises?

Well I have never been severely burned, but I have had several ominous run ins in the past with stoves and ovens which make me think they are secretly out to get me. >_>

I have gotten a couple dozen little burns over the course of the cooking portion of my life. Nothing too serious, just a slight brush or tap of my hand or finger or wrist or arm against some of the stove interior while at a range of three hundred and fifty to four hundred and seventy five degrees.

I get that super shiny spot afterwards where the skin had just slightly melted enough to make a smooth surface together. It is all flat without the normal ridges on the hand, or some of the pale hair on the back of my arm is singed away. And I do use hot pads all the time and it keeps happening!

Aside from that the only other serious burn I ever got was a sunburn. I was out all day downtown and forgot to take extra sunblock. Well what I was wearing wore off and my pale skin turned bright lobster red. But the worst part is I was wearing a wide strap tank top at the time, and this inch wide pale white skin bands went over both shoulders.

It looked like I still had a shirt on it was so drastic! That happened nearly two years ago and I still very very very faintly have the marking of it on my shoulders. They didn't even start to fade after the burn healed for a while, I was stuck with the skin undershirt noticeable for at least thirteen long months!

Diss stands for disrespect. A diss is a disrespectful comment, an insult.

When I was a kid, my mom used to make me sit on the counter/in the sink of the bathroom while fixed my hair for church and such. One such day, my mom sat down the curling iron dangerously close to my leg. I shifted slightly and my leg ended up touching the hot iron, and it was so hot that I screamed out in pain.

I think I remember my mom actually having to pry the iron off my skin because it sort of stuck to me. I also remember feeling dizzy, but that dizziness could have been from crying.

My leg hurt for a LONG time after that. The burn was bad enough that it bubbled up and eventually fell off like a scab. To this day, I still have a scar on my leg from that burn.

I don't think my mom ever made me sit up in the sink again after that day. I also think it was a long time before I forgave her for burning me.

Last summer, I was sitting in my room being a loser, and I lit some incense with a Bic lighter. There was some scraps of paper on my desk, and since I'm kind of a pyro, I thought "I think I'll burn these. :D" So I was holding the paper in one hand, and the lighter in the other, burning the paper. (There was a saucer underneath my hands to catch any falling paper, of course. I didn't want to burn the house down. >.<) Anyway, I got distracted by something and wasn't watching. The paper burned too far and the lighter, which I still had lit for some idiotic reason, got too hot and I burnt four fingers at the same time. Three on my left hand, where I was holding the paper, and my right thumb from the lighter. ;-; Needless to say, I have not done something stupid like that since.

Edit:: I forgot about sunburns. >.< I sunburn extremely badly. I once fell asleep on a raft in our pool with my back to the sun, and was out for somewhere around four hours (with sun TAN lotion on D:) and when I woke up and moved, I screamed because it hurt so bad. Once I got in the house, I was shaking and extremely cold and I felt sick. (A side effect of severe sunburns.) I couldn't move without crying for 2 days, I couldn't wear a shirt for a week and a half, and I could see the lines from my bikini for a year afterwards. D:

I burned my hand lighting the unity candle on my wedding day when it stuck in the holder. Hot wax splashed on my hand. I have a scar from a battery acid burn on my elbow. And when I was in college we went swimming in a lake during 110 degree weather, and we didn't have sun screen back then so I got a 3rd degree sun burn over a large part of my body.
