Got any scars? (The ones you can talk about in polite company, please...lol)
View attachment 58532
a scar at the outer corner of each eye. one on the forehead over the left eye, in the hairline on the left side over the forehead, inner right ear. and the back of the head..... then surgery scars in the abdominal area, from a hernia repair and a gall bladder surgery. and a few on my hands, add in things that have been broken and its a mess......lol
 
Has anyone noticed that good potatoes are hard to find lately? Over the last few months every bag and brand I've tried either has lots of rotten spots, green or the taste is off. Maybe too much water in the growing season? Am I just unlucky with my purchases??

I have a small scar near one eyebrow from a terrible spider bite when I was sleeping. I woke up with it and it took a long time to heal. I still shudder to think I had a big ole spider on my face.
 
I have a scar on my forehead from trying to fly like Superman over the coffee table when I was about 4 years old. I don't remember much myself but my Mom used to tell the story of coming home and the babysitter was sitting on the front porch, the sitters first words were "Everything's okay, Steven's okay. He's at the hospital but he's okay."

I have some scars on my wrist and the back of my hand from some young punk trying to mug me while coming out of a bowling alley. He had a knife but I told him to... well I told him something not repeatable in polite company. So he tried the knife on me which left some superficial defensive wounds on my left hand while I used my right hand to fight back. Unfortunately for him I was carrying my bowling ball in my right hand. And a 10 pound bowling ball beats a swap meet switchblade.

I have a pretty ugly scar on my leg, right in the middle of my quads. It's a round divot about the size of a quarter. That's from a brown recluse bite whike i was in the Army. In order to stop the toxin from spreading they simply cut a hole around the bite and removed that section of skin and subcutaneous tissue. It was a little odd looking in the hole and seeing my leg muscle move. Then the anesthesia wore off and I walked with a limp for about 3 month while it healed.
Darn spiders, they are awful. I bet that robber got quite a bashing, good for you. I hope he got arrested.

Signs of an active life
 
Good morning peeps, wishing you all a great day. The first episode of Skinwalker Ranch was great last night. I sure wish the episodes were longer, that hour goes by too fast. Is it me or does Travis look unwell? I have heard him mention that he had a health attack at some point after visiting the ranch. I don't remember if he said what it was. He is pretty private and there is little about him on the internet except his credentials and the shows he's been on. I sure hope he is ok.

I have a routine Dr apt. this afternoon, fingers crossed all the numbers are good. Back later.

I just threw away an 8 pound bag of potatoes last week because the first few I cooked tasted really bitter. My thoughts were that it might have something to do with the growing seasons and transportation.

Something has affected the crops for sure. I will have to switch over to rice and beans lol.
