Tex,

A friend of mine wants to know if shaving all of their body hair will get rid of crabs?

Thanks

Yes. And wash all clothes in hot water. And if infestation is epic, fumagate the home over a 2 day period with noone at home. That's what my dad had to do on my first trip home from college. My pubes looked like some world record from a crab tourney.

Just be sure to not try to exterminate them on site with Pine Sol.

Is it soft or hard, and can you move it around with your finger? Does it hurt only when you touch it or does it hurt all the time?

Your reply belongs in the "out of context" thread.

All the time.
Not soft, not hard. Medium
Doesnt feel like it is really attached to anything, but cant really move it around much either.

Feels about like the cyst that I had removed from my wrist. If it is that, Im going to be ok. Mostly worried about it being a lymph node.

Going to the doc next week.

Thanks Kat. Much appreciated.

Mom is doing pretty good. She sits in my dad's favorite chair a lot. Falls asleep there every night watching TV.

We spent most of the week trying to take care of financials, and getting a few things sorted out. It was a great visit, but they never last long enough.

Mostly tried to get my mom to figure out how to cook for one person, and find ways to get her to eat right.

I did get 12 pairs of my dad's socks!! hahah. And my brother and I sorted out the gun cabinet. :)

and there is some "supernatural" stuff that was really weird, but kind of cool at the same time. :yikes:

Thanks again. Getting back to normal here I hope. (whatever normal is) Oh, and still trying to find a new job. haha.

Hard is usually bad, hopefully it's just a lipoma or maybe an osteochondroma.
