Stupid Guest Tricks

I just saw the leeches thing recently on a Michael Palin travelogue of Eastern Europe on the Travel Channel. At one spa stop, at least, it's considered a high-end treatment that many regional celebrities have done. Palin had it done on camera. <SHUDDER>

Though interestingly, a surgeon, a top hand specialist, that my mom (a now-retired physical therapist) used to work for has been using leeches medically for some time. Whenever he has to reattach, say, a finger or two, it takes time for the capillaries to rejoin to allow full return blood flow, and the leeches can relieve the pressure from blood buildup in the healing fingertip very efficiently.

Gives me the willies thinking about it, though. This same doctor handled my wrist surgery a few years back, and fortunately no leeches were involved.

Actually, <http://www.google.com/virgle> is a program announcement that could be a thrilling new adventure for humanity.

Sadly, it was doomed by the date of the announcement.

I still think it's doable and desirable.

Darn, I was hoping to be in on that. but I backed out, as there was no plans to have a WDW Mars edition!

And the commute to Flordia or California would be WAY too long!

I read that one about Demi Moore in one of the rags I read. I like to read all those celebrity mags for fun. That thar is disgusting. And tho she has a great bod and skin, I bet them leeches had nothin to do with it. I would like to see her Plastic Surgeon's bill. Or meet the guy who does the touch up and airbrushing to all her photos before thay are allowed to be published.

I want to have a few things *done* as I get older. Along with my usual hair dying, I want to have restylane injections to smooth out the wrinkles I got from smoking for 26 yrs. And a few other things. Gravity does not stop and I need to help it slow down a little! hehehe.... We'll see..I am not in a hurry, but maybe in time I will have it done, or maybe I will change my mind.

Ralph wants me to stop dying my hair! It would be pretty much gray if I did that. I hate the gray. He does not mind it. I think men look better with gray hair than women do. I won't let it go, I will keep coloring it til it looks weird for my age, then I will stop.

Or you could start going with a Bright blue!!! OR GREEEN!!!

hehehehehe DISCO!!!!!!

Nah too bright for me! Maybe a light blue rinse, that the little old ladies get... NOT!

I hear you on the hair coloring, Susi! I get plenty of compliments on my medium auburn hair than I did when I was a brunette. Mom wants me to stop coloring my hair, and cutting it myself, too, but excuse me, I'm 51 years old, I think if I grew the hair, it should be mine to do as I please with! I am so glad she's away for two weeks back east--finally got Tripod to the vet (she has to take half a pill in the evening, in addition to the whole one in the morning--her thyroid count is a bit too high). Made a chocolate cake from scratch--I'm going to wait until after dinner to see how it came out (made from the recipe on the cocoa tin).
