Can a sister get a break?

I'm cheap. So much so that I have no health insurance. The other night, the thong on my right flip-flop snapped apart from its respective sole. I used a screw to affix the broken piece back in place. Worked like a gem, except that I got tetanus from stepping on the screw. Imagine that hospital bill...

One step forward, two steps back, people. Isn't it the intent of a woman by which she shall be measured?
