The SUN is out today! WOOOHOOOOOO! It's supposed to hit 50! I never thought 50 would sound so good! I'm making honey butter biscuites (canned if you must know) and then dragging my son outside for the day. We were supposed to go to my hometown about 70 miles south of here to plant trees with his boy scout troop but can't go b/c of his pneumonia. Sucks b/c that town, Hattiesburg, lost a TON of trees to Katrina. I was looking forward to going and eating some food that you can only get there. Oh well, maybe next time.
Kim, I'm so glad your dad is doing good! Too bad he can't go on the cruise with us! Maria's dad and he could hang out and talk about gardening!
About skin cancer. I worked in Radiology before I went back to the ER. We would diagnose people with skin cancer and I'm here to tell you that it's NOT all from the sun. Sure, the sun may exacerbate some but I'm not so sure it's the total cause like the media and some doctors think. I've seen a melanoma, the deadly kind, on the inside folds of a black lady's ******. Now you tell me when the last time that saw the sun. I've also seen it between someone's toes. I'm not saying to go fry in the sun, I'm just stating my opinion. Have y'all seen the sporadic news reports about ppl not getting enoug Vit D since the craze about sunscreen started? I've also seen a report where they now think that some of the ingredients in sunscreen may cause cancer. If you think about it, anything can cause cancer! I'll still get in the tanning bed a few times before my vacation, and I'll still lay out on the beach. I wear more protection than I used to b/c I don't want too many wrinkles. That may be stupid, but I don't want to miss out on LIFE trying not to get something I may or may not get anyway. Does that make sense? OK, off my soapbox now!
Sheesh, I didn't mean to go on a rampage!Well, the biscuits are beeping! I'll check in later! Y'all have a good day!
