    I now can tell that I've got a very aggressive dermatologist.....Side of my nose is blistered from the freezing and those biopsies are kinda deep....In my mind those biopsied spots have 0.00% possibility of not being some form of cancer that's gotta be surgically removed....I'll deal with it...

    Observe the dog's nail when a regular trimmer cuts....it's almost a nail explosion and not a good clean cut...Years back I had 2 Pits to trim....I used a set of the regular clippers but I sharpened both sides like a laser...They're called anvil trimmers and have an anvil (flat) and cutting...

    Weather was good here....I burned a huge pile of azaleas that I'd cut after Mom started the job and couldn't finish it....I cut a couple/three more azaleas down on my own...They'll come back out....I think Mom may have gotten a little too hot doing that...It's hot as Hades and humid so at 88 she...
