Corporate Challenge
Well the corporate challenge is tonight and I never ended up training even a little bit besides taking some walks but never even a little running so I guess it may just be walking for us. Maybe just walking right to the beer and food tents! Me and Rachelle decided we are starting tomorrow to train for next year and do it for reals this time! Well maybe not tomorrow but soon?

That's not the story I heard. I am pretty sure you trained till you threw up from exhaustion. Maybe you forgot about it.

my ear
So I had a precancerous mole more deeply removed from my ear this morning. I was a little nervous that they were going to accidentally cut off my whole ear or there would be a big hole in it but it seems like that did not happen. THough I cannot know for sure because I am not allowed to take the bandaid off for 24 hours. Maybe there is really nothing under the bandaid and they were too afraid to tell me. THe whole procedure took not even 15 minutes though it sure did seem like a lot of cutting for a little ear. Hopefully it won't be too scarred or anything.

I went to Dr. Wirth for the surgery instead of my normal dermatologist Dr. COnroy because she said she doesn't do removals on faces because he does that more so there isn't as much scarring. Hopefully she is right. He was super nice. Like he talked over the whole thing with me and made me very calm about it (not that it was a big deal or the first mole I had removed but it still was really nice). He and his whole staff seemed really nice and if I didn't love Dr. COnroy so much and had been with her for so long I think I might have tried to switch offices but I love Dr. COnroy too and never want to leave her either.

I guess I won't really know if he did a good job of not butchering my ear until the stitches come out next week so we'll see, I'll post an update then but for now I feel pretty good aobut it. I am afraid it is going to hurt a lot after the local Anastasia wares off. When they just removed a not deep , little part it hurt a lot so hopefully it won't be too bad. I feel like there is just no wiggle room for ears so like the pain seems more or something, like the ones on my stomach and elbow had like no pain but we'll see.

That's all for now, here is a postop bandage pic...

Could you message me contact info for Dr. Conroy? I need a dermatologist :-)

I'm sure your ear is intact under that big bandage. Good for you for getting it taken care of!

Still looks the shape of an ear. good luck!

Did I do the right thing?
So today I got my car washed and then went to get gas at the Delta Sonic on Main Street. Well I pulled up to the pump and it just said remove nozzle and select grade. I couldn't believe you didn't have to prepay. And so I selected my grade and then the screen said $30 prepaid ready but I hadn't paid. So there was a worker working on the next pump over and so I said to him what was going on and he was like "oh that must have been put on the wrong pump" and then I had to wait a few minutes for them to take it off and I paid for myown gas. So really I could have had $30 of free gas, noone would have ever known. But I thought what if some poor bloke's money got put on the wrong pump and then he/she lost out on the $30.

But then I thought what if liek the person before me was trying to pay it forward and now stupid Delta Sonic just took that money and noone got the free gas the person wanted someone to have.

I don't know, what would youdo? Maybe I should have just taken the gas but I think it would be waying on my conscience if I did.

THey did give me a coupon for a free super kiss car wash for being honest. So I guess that was nice but that is no $30 and frankly I hardly ever wash my car because going through those things make me sooo nervous . And that was even before the CSI where the midget contortionist was hiding in the backseat and then killed a lday while her car was going through the car wash. That just sealed the scared deal. And plus I had just already had it washed today! Well I don't know, I guess it's good knowing I did the right thing, but somehow I think $30 free dollars worth of gas might have felt better?

Hard to know? It is very possible someone else could have paid twice by putting it on the wrong pump?
paul - 05/25/12 11:15
I would have taken the gas. The other person could just have easily complained they didn't get their monies worth and have gotten it back.

buffalo's tour guide
The city should pay me for all the directions and advice I give to people wandering through the main street wasteland on my weekend walks downtown. It's at least a few people on every walk. There really is nowhere else for them to go for info since almost nothing is open.

Unfortunately I couldn't convince a Japanese tourist to go somewhere besides tho fridays for chicken wings. She heard those were the best ones and she was walking so I didn't really know where else she would get/ could get to

You should start a business.
