'It's, me and I'm back from sea" says Barnacle Bill the Sailor'

Good news!
I just got back from my doctor's appointment. She said I have SEBORRHEIC KERATOSIS. Nothing serious. It doesn't even have to be removed unless it bothers me. And it doesn't. She said she calls them "barnacles of life". I never thought I'd be happy to have a barnacle. I am very relieved!

    What is that? I went to the dr. today too and have nothing more serious than a wonky infected gland. I'm so glad to hear you're okay!

    Barnacles make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Even just reading the word.

    thats great to hear schell, a few times I was going to ask you whatever happened about that "problem" but decided not too.

    Speaking of barnacles they are interesting life forms. when i was a kid I used to watch them underwater on docks. They keep raking the water with their feet to filter out food particles . Also theres been talk for years about trying to duplicate the substance that holds them to surfaces and use it as a glue . dont know if anything ever came of that and again Schell, excellent news , allan

    Barnacles of life,, I love it. I have those also- plenty more to come :(. I am a dermatologist dream. I never had acne too bad, but I think I have every other skin condition there is.

    SEBORRHEIC KERATOSIS. That's what she calls barnacles. It's a little growth that looks like an irregular mole.
