On a lighter (but sticky) note . . .

I visited my dermatologist yesterday because there was a spot on my scalp I found very suspicious. He took one look at it and said it was harmless, thank God.

But then we talked about other skin-related matters, and I brought up my small, few, but persistent, hand warts.

He said, "Well, there's been a new development in the treatment of warts since you last visited. And it involves duct tape." And he proceeded to tell me that studies have shown that covering warts in duct tape for two months eliminates them about 80% of the time.

No, he wasn't kidding. We had a good laugh over that, though.

I've heard about duct tape fixing just about everything, but this is ridiculous!
