DH had a very complicated surgery on a cancerous lesion that was in the crevice between the side of his nostril and his nose back in 08. By the time they were done he had a crater that went completely through his nostril and big enough that you could stick your finger in it. It was necessary in order to get all of the cancerous cells out.To fill the hole, they did a pedicle graft, slicing a flap in his cheek and bringing it around to stitch into the crater. They left that there for 10 days, then they cut the flap loose, leaving the tip end behind to fill the hole. It had grown its own vascular system. They also took a piece of donor cartilage from his ear to rebuild his nostril. Ten years later the only evidence that he had anything done was where there is a tiny dimple in that nostril thanks to a sinus infection that he got afterwards.

Point being. They can do some miraculous plastic surgery now.

Cynthia, good luck tomorrow on that ingrown toenail. You will be breathing a big sigh of relief afterwards.

Thank you. I know I will feel better when healed for sure. Wow on your hubby! Glad he got that done. Sounds like He's clear now...08! I had read that they use parts of the face for repair. Forehead included. Pretty nice what they can do.

When I was growing up an X on an egg in the refrigerator meant it was hard boiled.

You can tell hard boiled eggs because you can easily spin them. Fresh eggs won't spin.

Okay,just when I thought things were perfect with my coop.....I have another broody. Give me a break girls! Are they counting and discovering that half of their flock mates are missing? Are they saying to themselves, I need to make more chickens!? The treat lady has lost 30 chickens out of this coop in the last week and I hear there are 14 missing out of the other coop? Don't know where they went but we gotta get our numbers back up.



And she is such a sweetie. Every day I reach under her and take one or two eggs out that she has squirreled away under her feathers and she doesn't fuss at me or complain. Not even a screaming broody shriek or well aimed peck. She just gives me this wide eyed look like she's thinking. OK there's always tomorrow! And keeps occupying that same nest box. Guess I'm going to have to break her as we are coming into the heat of summer and last year I lost chicks in the shell with deformities due to the heat.

As for neighborhood thieves. Had somebody steal three rows of vidalia onions right out of the ground from us and had an Amish neighbor doing the 5 finger discount on gas we had in our generator. OH! Then there is the missing rake, pitch fork and garden hose.....and people wonder why we now have dogs with attitudes?

In Florida we had people stealing stuff out of the cars at night! And someone took the bumper off my truck for heavens sakes!

Several years ago thieves were stealing catalytic converters off of cares in parking lots

can think back to knocking the guts out of converters after they gave up the ghost or for better mileage those years where fun
