It's been a while. thought I should just make a quick note or two.
#1 Happy Easter. Hope all of you remain Good Eggs in the view of the world.
#2 Noted that my fee for keeping this blog is coming due in 3 days. When I'm inspired, I enjoy writing and rambling. $17 a year - about. It seems like a worthy investment in nothing that will make the world a richer place. Note: I still do not have them put advertisements on my missive. Who reads a blog and clicks on the advertisements? I just cannot believe anyone does that. I wouldn't. But, times have changed. Ads seem to clutter my page and make me feel beholden. If'n I'm gonna' be beholden to someone, surely I can find someone better than advs. (please note previous sentence had 3 consecutive words with asterisks - a world record for me)
#3 MOH Surgery. Look it up. If you see a dermatologist on a a regular basis and were out in the sunshine in your youth, you'll meet a Moh surgeon someday. Skin cancer. They's got's big words for that type of cancer, but who really needs to know all those big words if your not in the business ? (only 2 asterisks that time) A few years back my wife had a nose problem. We drove up to a doc in Dallas who cut a hole in her nose. It healed. this doctor was about 7 ft tall, was raised in South Dakota, very pleasant - associated with U.S. Dermatologist Partners chain. Wonderful experience - considering.
Naturally, not to let my wife out-do me, a couple of years later, they cut off part of my nose too. This time a young lady (all doctors are young to me now) cut on me. She sang through the whole process. I inquired and learned she had studied voice - I forget where. Nice change. Now, my present derm doc in Belton, noted a red spot above my upper lip a year ago January. He asked me to watch it. I did. it didn't go away. I told him this Jan. He did an autopsy - wait, that's not the right word. I wasn't dead. He tested the spot. We agreed it was bad. And about a week ago, a young female doctor cut a hole above my lip & put in some stiches. Yes, she had me in stiches. She hummed her way through the whole process. I wonder if she is the same doctor?
Short Moh explain: Named after the doctor who invented it - Moh - I think calling it "MO" is funnier - they remove a part of you and put it under the microscope. Somehow, they are able to see if the entire cancer was removed. In theory, they come back in and take a bit more off. Frankly, there is no pain. The first TINY needle stick is the Worstest thing. After that, you are numb. No pain, No gain (or loss). So once again, the skin problem is eliminated until they find another little red spot. If you look at me or my wife straight on, you'll see the nose is not symmetrical anymore. Mo !!!
My neighbor down the street had Moh on his head, Apparently they stretched his skull skin over the cut area in such a way that it was quite tight. I want to remark that it made his eyes slant upwards. it didn't; but I thought that was a descriptive explanation - and funnyto see. He probably would disagree.
#4 this is getting longer than I anticipated.
#5 I've noticed that I get my best ideas for this blog, blug, bluggy as I lay in bed waiting to drift off to sleep land. Who remembers what you think at that time of night? I gots me a little pad of paper which is beside my bed. I can make notes now. I don't dwell on remembering inconsequential thoughts as I drift off. Wish I had remembered to get a pen too.
#6 We'll call this last: For several days, the weathermen have been saying, "Rain Friday, Saturday, and Easter Sunday. It's coming. Inch to 1 1/2 inches." This morning at 5 something, rain finally came. We have all of Point .17 inches. That is less that 2/10ths of an inch. Cheeeee ruined my Easter morning.
Closing. Would you like for me to spend a while discussing the political scene? I do have some strong views. Maybe some other time. Politics is a sure way to lose friends.
love ya, Happy Easter, say hello to a bunny wabbit
