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
