I don't know if it was here that I posted on my dermatological visit. Just got the biopsy results - basal cell carcinoma - not one of the real 'bad guys'. He'll chop more away on 9/18.

Yeah, been there, done that. Could be worse.

Just got a call from my friend who had the Covid test - negative.

@sourland, sounds as though you are now a member of the same club my DH belongs to. Pretty sucky club but look at the bright side. At least it's Basal Cell and not the bad guy.

Are they going to do MOHS on it?

DH wants to know where it is?

It is good that you had it looked at!

Two years ago I had a squamous cell carcinoma on my upper lip so am aware of the need to keep an eye on skin 'happenings'. 79 years of time spent outdoors has played its toll on my skin. First time he saw me his greeting was, "Well you've spent a lot of time in the outdoors." Hey, don't I get a Hello ?

Genetics has quite a bit to do with it too. Apparently Scottish genes are bad for skin cancers

Sour please stay a safe distance from everyone.
So sorry to hear about your biopsy. Best to make sure he does get it all.

I wish the Dr. had gotten all of mine.

I wait till I get home because 99.9 percent of the population around here aren't wearing masks!

Yeah but why do you not feel that you are safe inside your car?

And then even after I clearly explained to my mom that she sure as criminy better quarantine, following the document from the state of Alaska that she agreed to and signed .... she broke quarantine.

have decided to NOT talk to me about why they are upset... since, as I have been told by an intermediary, I get too worked up when they talk to me.

Because "if you don't know why I'm mad I'm not telling you!"

Do I miss the 'college experience' of staying in a dorm? I have to admit that I do see it as having a purpose. It prepares young people to live on their own and not depend on mom and dad for everything from meals to laundry.

I think the other thing day students miss is meeting people from a lot of places. Many geographical, ethnic, religious, political, etc backgrounds that are likely a lot different than the bubble of their high school years. Just might expand their minds a bit.
