Well the stitches are still in my finger. They could have come out but the doc wanted to leave them for the customary 7 days even thought the doc who put them in wanted them out before Monday. He said he. "could take them out now but theres the risk of it splitting open again".
On the mend anyway 
As for the machinery... well I was at the club with mum (weekly event when she is home I never turn down a free meal).
We were playing on the poker machines (slot machines I think they're called in America or one armed bandits even though they're armless; that's armless not harmless 
)
I was applyin sword fingers to the cut inflicted pain by moving a chair. It was my turn to play and our kitty was running low. In looking up I accidently fired sword fingers at the machine and it flashed brighter for a moment and I went... I wonder could sword fingers cause it to spin up 3 coins for the game feature? So I tried it and immediately got 3 coins. Then I hit it for 5 coins during the feature and immediately got it. Played with it some more here and there. I was only interested in mum maintaining her kitty not to have outstanding wins. Besides mum started noticing what I was doing. She knows I can influence the machines when the mood strikes me and the float will hold out for the day or she comes out in front a few dollars, but I've never experience the effect so immediately
I know I won't always have this working because it goes against the values by which I was raised. It sure was an exciting way to see chi in action thought.
