I had a few biopsies this summer. Some raised, some flat. He took lots of skin and I have some lovely scars we will be treating with steroids.

Is this routine? I just had a lump removed, and the doctor told me it would leave a small scar but said nothing about steriods or anything else to address the scar.

edited to add: completely benign, btw

I think it is more than just an implication.

You're doctor is a sexist, because you are a man you are supposed to want scars.

Seriously, I was just discussing with a friend how our doctors have never advised us on how to minimize scarring, even when we've had cuts or stitches on our faces. I scar really easily, and have told my SO and my family that if I am ever in an accident, they are to get a plastic surgeon to do any stitching, especially on the face.

Why can't a good-looking girl just be a good-looking girl? Maybe some of these women have had plastic surgery, but there ARE some women that are just naturally stunning. Without the nose job. Without the liposuction. Without the makeup. Yes, they are SO good-looking that it seems impossible for them to look that way without plastic surgery. But they do. And they aren't THAT rare. I can name 4-5 I've known since elementary school (and thus can almost certainly rule out plastic surgery) that are just unbelievably attractive. Their noses have ALWAYS been that small, and their breasts have always been that perfect (at least when I started noticing that sort of thing - when you're 13 you can ogle other 13 year olds). It sometimes happens that way in nature. Some people's comments just REEK of jealousy.

That blond chick has the classic eighties nosejob. Sorry to burst your bubble. And I am definitley not the type to deride a gal for being pretty. I just dont find cookie cutter, plastic surgeon type features attractive. Which is what the blonde has. I like character. I think Carolyn Bessette was a staggeringly beautiful woman. You might just think she was a no makeup, big nose girl. I also happen to think that John Cougar's wife is unbelievable. And Christy Turlington. And Angelina Jolie.

I have never seen any other picture of that blond chick so I have no idea if she is attractive without the paint. She just looks like a secretary from STaten Island in that pic though. And if that is your idea of hot, I am just saying tha tyour gf can easily achieve it.

I think lumps and moles are treated differently. I've had a lump removed as well and there was no mention of steroids.

Plus, I like scars. They make you unique-er*.

*yes, I know there aren't degrees of uniqueness.

I had never heard of using steroids for scars . . . perhaps my doctor is concerned that my vanity requires me to be scar free.

I guess since dermatologists make the bulk of their money from cosmetic procedures, all of my aftercare was free, including near daily visits to check the healing (and to change my dressings) and for stitch removal. I have never been so surprised by a medical professional.

No, I think she was a mousy, insipid, vacuous, anoxeric, typical UES-looking cokewhore. She was about as distinguished as a loaf of Wonder bread

And Christy Turlington. And Angelina Jolie.

Night and Day. These girls have very distinguished looks

Reading comp: below 17-18% body fat causes amenhorrea and possible infertility in some women. Of course Messing appears to be below that level. That was the point.

But nice way to work in your body fat percentage.

You said 17-18 was minimum. I am pointing out your stat is off by saying if I am 18, then 16 shoudl be pregnable as well, bc I am not close to skinny or ammenorhea, and 16 isnt that far off from 18. Reading comprehension, honey.

And I have an average body. not fat, not skinny, not nothing. so I dont think I am bragging here. But if I wanted to brag about myself, I have ahd plenty of chances in the psat ten or so years I have been posting here. And I could have named myself after a BODY PART.

To which portion? You don't seem to be the type to take issue with the fat-fat-fattie comments so you must want to bone prenant women?

I find pregnant women attractive or to clarify, I find attractive women who are pregnant to be more attractive for the pregnancy. Ugly women who are pregnant I still find ugly.

I didn't discover this attraction until my wife was pregnant, but I have found that it is not limited to her, its general fetish/kink thing.

Given the amount of the preggo-porn, apparently I am not alone.

YMMV.

I can think of nothing that would make me less horny than a pregnant woman.

Concur. I am also not turned on by pregnant women.

That said, everything was fine for the first 6mos or so bangability-wise, until things got rather unwieldy. Since it appears I am having an 11lb (as yet unnamed) hulk-child in the next few weeks, you can correctly assume that I am presently as big as a house-side and even walking is not enjoyable, let alone other activities. Sexy it ain't.

*Seriously. I assume it's the Viking stock.

edited to add that I'm currently avatar-hunting, so you need not call me on the pumpkin.
Edited again to say I heart Penske!

The smartass post-guess scoring is fairly FBish, especially if you are zen with spelling errors.

Da (a lowly 83.5) ve

Whoa! I got 138.5 -- but then again, I live with the all-time leading scorer in "Name That Tune From the 80's" -- and he can name that tune in ONE note.

And we all know what too much plastic surgery can do:

That's because pregnant women--their skin looks clearer, their hair is growing like a weed, thick and long and their nails are growing also. all those hormones make you look healthier....of course the prenatal vitamins and good nutrition help also....

My scrabble-champ little brother would be very excited if uniquer or uniqueer was sufficiently advanced into the lexicon to achieve entry into the SPD. He wrote me the other day crowing about how he got 221 points on one turn or some such - using all 7 letters to create an 8 letter word that bridged two triple word scores. He's a freak.

Speaking of freaky Canadians -- not sure of the source, but here's a story from the land of email:

"A Canadian defense atty was defending a client at trial against charges that the defendant killed a Montreal police officer. During a break in the proceedings, the defense atty was heard leaving the courtroom humming "I Shot the Sheriff."

Defendant got 25 years. Atty is facing disciplinary proceedings."
