In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Update Photos

I'm posting these photos with the hope that parents will show them to their children that spend a lot of time in the sun. Lighter skin has a higher chance of cancer, but the ionizing radiation of the sun can damage all types of skin. In the end, Mohs procedure is the lesser of procedures when dealing with skin cancer. If it metastasizes, the extra treatments include chemo and radiation therapy. If it's melanoma, the chances of survival can be really low.

  1. Yeah...skin cancer sucks. My wife has had 3 melanomas removed, 2 basal cell and a squamous cell. She was a blond, blue eyed big tit So. Cal sun worshipper whe she was young. Now she's paying the price for all those hours at the beach/sunbathing.

    1. The sun is ruthless. Most don't realize the ionizing radiation is just as damaging as x-rays to the top layers of the skin. When the chromosomes are damaged, the damage is permanent.

  2. That it does. Glad you 'caught' it early. Chemo is no fun!
