A visit to the doctor today has prompted a referral to a dermatologist to have some “irregular” and dark moles looked at. Which means I’m even more anxious than normal.
So help yourself to imaginary punch and pie. If I feel less freaked out later, maybe I’ll throw up a few posts about nihilism and the failure of existentialism to address dread in a way that does me a lick of good.
Fucking Sartre.
While you’re there, I’d ask for a refill on the Klonopin….. for me…..
I’m sure your later posts will be, as usual, spot-on.
irregular mole: What is my purpose? Why do I exist? Since existence is prior to essence, surely these questions can only be answered by understand how I relate to the world.
protein wisdom: Fuck you.
Did you try to wash it off? Maybe it’s just the remnants of a melted Milk Dud?
My friend Wally had a “hot” mole. They carved the damn thing out. Good as new, well….. except for the divot.
Don’t go building something bigger out of those little mole hills. BTW I thought all moles were irregular. At least mine are. Shit, maybe I’ll go see a doc.
I’m sure it’s nothing a little liquid nitrogen can’t fix.
If I’m not mistaken, Paula Abdul’s mole actually calls the shots on AI.
Now there’s a new series of posts just waiting to be written.
Sharp, you’re on to something there, especially if the Mole could be introduced to Regis.
Hatin’ on Sartre, eh esse?
Bet you thought none of his biz-oys was hangin’, did ya?
Well, you best hope I don’t have to dig up the Big S for this throwdown. His fingers may be bony and cold, but he still has those weird wandering eyes.
tw federal: as in, shouldn’t you be arguing with Glen Greenwald about how a 8-7 decision by the senate intelligence commision may demonstrate democratic partisanship as much as it could republican?
I definitely would like to hook up with Regis. Granted, I’ve got a hair or two myself that I’m willing to bet would give his a run for their money.
TW:Hotel – as in there’s one right down the road with hourly rates.
Ought to go without saying, but in the Jeff vs. Mole struggle, I’m rooting for Jeff.
I’m pulling and praying for you Jeff.
Jeff, what ever you do, don’t let this lead you into anything you will later regret. Yeah, rimless glasses, I’m talkin’ to you.
Jeff: I went through the same thing recently and what I learned from it was 1) physicians today are very good a knowing a skin cancer when they see one, and 2) that the methods for getting rid of them work for the most part. If your dermatologist referral doesn’t mention the Mohs technique, ask about it. I was able to watch the excision of a large skin cancer on my left temple and the doc was good enough to let me look at the slides they made during the surgery and show me where the margins of health tissues were. Best of luck.

if your really lucky it’ll be psorisis so you too can get all the free mailings of “feel good” magazines sponsored by pharmacutical companies I’ve been getting ever since they diagnosed me
Rob – sorry you have psoriasis – hope it is not too bad.
The marketing junk can be a pain, but don’t knock the pharm companies too much though. I’d kiss every damn employee of Genentech if I could. If it weren’t for weekly injections of Raptiva, my husband would still be stuck in a living hell. Over 90% of his body was covered, he lived with 24 a day pain. Now only about 5% of his body has psoriasis.
Worst part of it all- alcohol inflames psoriasis.
Wow. Our host was thin-skinned after all…
Cheer up, guy. I’ll have you know that I was a total whiner in a similar situation. Even the dog complained that I was acting like “a bitch”. I would’ve deleted the post except that that would’ve been even more pathetic.
And I recommend lots and lots of that fine West Coast cheeba. Mmm.
I blame George Bush for Jeff’s dark moles!
(insert stuff about layers in the ozone hole)
My cousin had that really vicious type of cancer on his earlobe. They caught it in time, and you can’t even tell where they removed it. Now he has to wear hats outdoors, but otherwise doesn’t have to set any limits on his (athletic) lifestyle.
Good luck.
Sabina, your husband one uped my by 15% but you’re right, it’s not much fun.
