Jack-O-Lantern

What Your Jack-o-Lantern Says

You tend to be a bit of a grouchy person. The scrooge of Halloween. And while you may complain about it, you would miss Halloween if it didn't come around. This Halloween you should embrace your inner grump - be a warlock or a witch. The candy you should give out: sour patch kids

update

so, i have had this gowth thing on my scalp
had it in Fort Wayne prior to 2001
anyway, it comes & goes
last time it happened i was told to
stop dyeing the hair
so when i noticed them again
i stopped dyeing the hair
as the hair grew out i had ROOT ISSUES
so, the hair kept getting cut
it's why the hair got SHORT
the gowths make the scalp ITCHY

so,

on tue i went to see the dermatologist

the technical name is

Sebborihic Keratoses

one on the scalp had

to be removed

the others of which

there are numerous

several on the scalp,

a few on the face & chest

were left alone to see IF

they get better with treatment

also had a mole cut off my chest

so anyways ..

the one on the scalp HURTS

the mole is covered with a

band-aid & that itches

but where the one was in the scalp

i now have a big bald spot

we are hopin' the hair comes back

for the scalp i am using

Neutrogena Triple Moisture

shampoo & conditioner

did't use them when i overnited

in New Orleans thu nite &

my scalp got ITCHY

was told to use antibacterial Cetophil soap

to correct the follicular problems

acne type of breakouts

and CeraVe lotion for the

itchyness on my legs & body

i quit doing overnites because it could be the

different water sources that are causing

some of the problems

i was feeling better after one day of switch

in hygeinc products

so, one problem down

hopin' another doesn't spring up

in it's place

gonna get off to knit

makin' progress on the bathroom rug

gotta thro the clothes in the dryer

oh yeah
