There are two totally different things I hate today, but I have decided to combine them into one post.
The first thing I hate are moles. A few years back, I had 3 moles removed from my face – not because they were dangerous or anything, but just because two were around my lipular area and one stuck out from my chin enough that it just BOTHERED me. And in general, I am moley. Not the kind of moley that makes it look like I’m a warty witch, but more the kind of moley where I have lots of dark brown freckles sprinkled on my forearms and a few on my back. I’m completely anal about them, AND I’m a huge fan of suntans, so I religiously get my annual skin cancer screening check-up every year, without fail. This past Tuesday, I went to my dermatologist, and she pointed out one mole on my chest that I need to “watch” and then she cut out and cauterized one on my back, and then she sprayed freezing spray on one that I have on my sideboob. I’ve never had a mole frozen before. Before the spray, it was approximately the size of a this capital letter O. Not a big deal – but the problem was that it stuck out, and it was sitting right under the edge of my bra and just BUGGING me. So the doc said, “Let’s just freeze it off.” I was all for that.
She sprayed the freezing stuff onto it, and said, “OK – now what will happen is that it will swell up and then in a few days it will just slough off.”
It’s now been just a wee bit over 48 hours, and the mole did in fact swell up and has turned bright red instead of the brown it USED to be, and it doesn’t show any sign of wanting to slough off. In fact, I think the freezing spray just pissed it off. I called the doc about this but haven’t heard back yet. I’m kinda hoping I can go back in tomorrow and have her either spray more stuff on it, or just slice it off altogether without any pain. 
If it DOES come off, and I notice it come off, I am totally going to put it on a piece of white paper and take a picture of it for you. Because I know there’s nothing you’d rather see.
The second thing I hate? Lame fortune cookies. Fortune cookies used to serve the valuable purpose of telling you your fortune. They used to say stuff like, “You will have an unexpected visitor this week” or “You will receive a surprise today” or “Your luck is about to change” or SOMETHING that would be a predictor of things to come. Then, they morphed into just meaningless phrases. I’ve opened many a fortune cookie and been presented with nonsense like, “It is easier to wear slippers than to carpet the entire world” or “Time is a great teacher, but it kills all its pupils.” HOW is that helpful?
But today’s fortune cookie has really pissed me off. It’s one thing to not actually get told your fortune, but it’s entirely another to be given a COMMAND in your fortune cookie. My cookie today said, “Buy someone a thoughtful gift.”
Can you even believe that??? Fortune cookies are barking out orders now? Who WRITES these things?
Moles and demanding fortune cookies. HATE.
Moles! My face looks like I just walked into a bee hive and they were frozen off 6 days ago! People look at me like I am contagious!
A bit of neo-sporene, sunglasses and darkly lit rooms are suggested. I have an event to go to on Sunday..I will surely look like crap! g.
I agree with you on the fortune cookies. They’re not even fun any more. However, you know you HAVE to look at the ‘fortune’ or you will get a bad one, so make it a fun game. Always add “In Bed” to the end of the fortune. It can be very interesting.
So, your most recent fortune/command would actually be “Buy someone a thoughtful gift IN BED” Now it just sounds like Mr. Mock is kinky!
I just had a wart on my elbow “frozen” off. Yeah, it’s been two weeks and it’s acting like it doesn’t want to go anywhere….lol!
The best fortune I ever got read “The one you love is closer than you think.” I thought this was great…except I got it like 5 years ago, and I am still waiting for this guy. Maybe he’s close, but perhaps he is too shy? I think I may be reading way too into this…
My worst fortune was “A crab wonton everyday keeps the doctor away.” “In bed” or not, I was disappointed.
I read that moley people live longer – google it!
I’ve had moles cut off with what felt like the end of a frikkin potato peeler. Looked like it, too, from the gouge it left on my back.
Freezing is much better if your mole cooperates. Mine felt like it was going to put up a fight, then it gave up and dropped off, voila! I couldn’t find it to show anybody. ;0(
I feeling your pain, mole sister.
I’m moley exactly like you, it sounds like.
I had a wart sliced off my back and for some reason my skin decided it wanted to be African-American and develop an African-American-style scar. I’m not kiddding. I even went to a black dermatologist about it and everything because my skin reacted how a black person’s would and not a white person’s.
