Well since I saw this thread: http://mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=12432 I figured I had better let everyone know I didn't die. 
OK, where to begin lol. It's a long story (and funny at times) so please read all of it.
Everything started on Monday evening. I was getting ready to dye some plastic parts and a requirement for dying is boiling water (a rolling boiling). I had decided to dye my parts in the house by the front door since it was cold outside (I didn't want the water to cool down too fast). Well once I had boiling water, I poured it into my dying tub (I don't dye in my dad's special pots ). Well, apparently my dying tub had been weakened from previous dying jobs because as soon as I poured the boiling water it it it started to crack all over! As soon as I noticed it was cracking I realized I had better do something so I wouldn't make a mess and get is some REAL BIG trouble with my mother. I decided to pick the tub up and throw it out the front door. This was a BAD mistake because just as soon as I started to throw it out of the door it shattered and 3+ gallons of boiling water poured all over my right hand/arm!!! Well needless to say, I was in a LOT of pain very very fast. I immediately put my hand/arm in the sink with cold water (ironic huh?). I had instant blisters all over my hand/arm. By the time all of this happened, my mother came downstairs wondering what the comotion was all about. Fortunately for me, I'm very well trained in first aid and new exactly what to do (my mother didn't ). My Mother quickly called my Dad (he was close to home thank God), and just as soon as he arrived, I was in the car with my arm in a cooler full of water with my Dad speeding all the way to the hospital. After a 15min. trip to the hospital (which is usually 30+ min.) we arrived at the ER waiting room desk. The receptionist took one quick look at the burn and I was instantly ushered into a room with a nurse and doctor. (please realize that while my arm is in the water, I'm in very little pain, but when out of the water its a much different story)
