Thats a terrific idea, I'll do that!

I'm sorry to hear that you have developed skin cancer. Ironically, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to have myself checked out. My primary care doctor didn't like the way some things looked in my annual checkup.

I guess that with me being of German, Irish and English descent, I'm very fair skinned and burn so easy, I don't tan at all, I get red, peel, get red again. My wife tans, and so do my kids, she's Italian and I jokingly tell my kids that they're mutts (healthy) and they also have some olive oil in them....lol

I guess it all stems back to when we were kids back in the 60's and early 70's, runnung around all day with our shirts off, short pants in the sun. They just didn't know about all the hamful dangers of overexposure to the sun back then like they do now. My wife's grandfather went thru a year of putting on, like some kind of an acid like cream on his face and arms, to burn off some of the (skin nasties) "as I call them", and it worked. He said it was painful, but it did work...

My thoughts are with you and I hope that your ordeal with this, is a minor one and that it was caught early. Now a days, I wear a hat all the time and use sunscreen alot.

I am also of German and Irish as well as Native American descent and very fair in complexion ! I used to get a bad sunburn every year as a child too !

No, you don't need to be a math whiz to do crochet! Get that right out of your head! Most of the time you just follow the pattern. No math required.

But a calculator is helpful if you want to mess around OUTSIDE the pattern. Say you have a pattern for a large afghan that is based on a multiple of 4 stitches (i.e., evenly divisible by 4). You think it would make a great baby afghan instead. So to make it smaller, you would make the starting chain shorter, but it would still have to be a multiple of 4 stitches. So if the large afghan had a starting chain of 340, you could make a smaller one by starting with a chain of 280, or 200, or 240 ... any multiple of 4 would work.

Ohh! Just to clairfy, I had skin cancer, not currently. Thanks for your concern though! It was basal cell that was easily treated without chemo. I had several spots and they just removed it. I spent wayyyy too much time in the sun and in tanning beds when I was younger. Then after the cancer I became fearful of the sun. I think everyone went overboard on not getting any sun at all and coat on way too much sunscreen. But sunscreen is needed too after you catch a little bit of rays.

Now with new studies they say you should at least get 15-30 minutes of sun without any protection several times a week, (that varies depending on what site you look at). Also, no sunglasses, you actually absorb vitamin D through your eyes. Don't look at the sun! Ha ha! Just don't wear sunglasses for a short time to get those rays. People are suffering more due to lack of sunshine and not getting the much needed natural vitamin D and more cases of depression and/or SAD are reported. I love the sun but with respect, no more overdoing it and not avoiding it altogether either!

A summer intern once brought in some candied bacon---it had a sort of sugar glaze on it. It wasn't bad ... but then again, I don't miss it. My one bacon aberration is an occasional peanut butter and bacon sandwich on toast. (NOT grilled in butter.)

I would have to use turkey bacon.....:x:x:

Good afternoon,

Just home for lunch before taking LC to his dentist appt. I had mine this morning, and I developed a toothache yesterday, but my teeth are fine, the dentist said it is being caused by my sinuses. I think my sinus infection is back, my head feels like it is going to pop. I must leave shortly to get the little guy, this will be fun trying to have him sit still for a check up.

That IS complicated!!! I would definitely need a picture and then still might not "get" it!!! That is a good idea to work a smaller chain and see how it works! I felt like I was doing "Twister" while I was reading this!!! Either that or singing "The rib bone's connected to the ...."

Sorry 'bout that! You get an idea what I'm up against ... I'm taking another whack at it this evening.

Hubby had to drive to Yreka this afternoon and will not be home until 10 or 11 tonight. A friend of mine took me out to Starbuck's and now I am back home ready for bed! I am still so tired. Good night, all. MC, if you can't sleep, just count stitches!!!
