Speaking of pet birds and beloved canine companions in other threads, I think someone might have already posted Peggy and Molly's YouTube channel. But here it is again - the best channel on YouTube, ever!

Funniest pair ever! Damn I miss the Aussie magpie's song:

Had a nice couple of nights at the casino for Kellys birthday. We won a few bucks and it was capped off with Kellys name being pulled out of the barrel, again, this time for a $1000 cash prize, on Sunday night. 8)

^Well done, Skids. You're no doubt getting good value from that with your recovery process.

Went into Mole Map this morning. No, it's not a service to provide directions to the homes of women with questionable morals, it's a full body scan looking for any signs of skin cancer, particularly Melanoma.

All clear. :D Got some sun damaged skin in places (I never wear sunscreen) but nothing even worth taking a photo of.

What made me happy was the ease at which I could by tickets with both Ticketmaster and Ticketek. I am sure I am paying way too much for tickets I should be getting for less, but who the **** knows

I really should do that too! How much did it set you back?

$250, don't get anything back from Medicare or Private insurance.

At your age, working mostly inside, unless there's a family history of Melanoma I wouldn't bother. Most of the sun damage to skin is cumulative.

Having worked inside for 40 years it's only now I'm spending more time out in the sun and since Dad had a history of skin cancers and I'd noticed some things on my legs and places that hadn't been there before I thought it prudent to get checked out, but while the growths are sun related none of them are cancerous or likely to turn cancerous.

Cheers, appreciate it! I did notice a dark spot on my back lately and my gf suggested checking it out, but I guess I can always just go to a GP for that!

Yep, if you're unsure just go to a GP. There's all different kinds of things, they gave me a color chart for reference.

I've got a few Seborrhoeic Keratoses which are harmless.

Things to watch out for is irregular shapes and multi colours as well as growing or changing colours. A GP will tell you in 30 seconds if it looks like a problem.

Keep in mind, the real nasty ones, Melanoma, can pop up absolutely anwhere not just in places exposed to the sun so keep an eye out for new spots in unusual places.
