What do young men need doctors for?

Will you be able to pass the health entrance requirements for entering Minnesota?

Eh, I've had a cyst on the back of my head for like, ten years now, and I'm trying to get it removed. I've had three different doctor's appointments and he said I'll have to have a surgeon do it. Takes 15 days for insurance approval. I leave in 11 days. So I'll end up having to start all over again when I get to Minnesota.

I had one on the top of my head for years but ignored it cause I had enough hair to cover it but it starting to get bigger and annoy me so had it removed. My family doctor did it the office. I did get the impression not all of the docs there would do that as one of the nurse eluded to that and noted my guy was really good at it. Remember about halfway through he asked if I wanted a mirror to take a look and I answered, nope I'm good not watching.

That's almost exactly the deal with mine. I never bothered because it didn't show, but it's gotten big enough to the point that it sticks out of my hair, especially bad when I cut it. They won't do it in office because it's directly in the middle of the back, and I guess there's a ton of veins or arteries there where if you cut one it will literally pour out the liquid that surrounds the brain.
 
Just go to your local cosmetology school for a discount haircut, Pants. They'll accidentally take care of that thing - no additional charge.

By the way, is it actually your hair thinning a bit that is making it more noticeable?

I had one on my head that I had removed back in Wichita. They also did it in the office and I looked at it once they got it out. That sucker was a log bigger than I thought!

Yuck, sounds more complicated than one that just sit on top of your skull.
 
Speaking of cysts, my wife and her family, particularly her mom, aunt, and cousins, have an odd fascination with popping things. Like cysts and big zits.

Holy crap just typing that gives me the jibblies.

I had a cyst in my earlobe that got infected. It swelled up over night probably 10 times the normal size. I was at work all night as it kept growing and hurting. Went over to the doctor the next morning. It took a few hours for them to get me in so they could open it up and remove all the pus and stuff.
 
Next weekend, my daughter has a soccer tournament, her birthday party, a get-together with my SIL and BIL to celebrate her birthday, along with some of her friends spending the night.

As if on cue, my dad sends me an E-mail letting me know they are coming in town to see Talia play in the tournament and are wondering if our spare bedroom is open.

Is there something in parents' DNA that alerts them to a complete cluster **** and prompts them to announce a surprise visit? Grandparental spidey sense perhaps?
 
My uber driver got pulled over for speeding. She talked him out of the ticket somehow and I said "I didn't even have to get me tits out!" I joked that's the difference between men and women that if I tried to do that, he'd have arrested me. She countered with (and keep in mind, she was black) "hell, I'm lucky we're not on the mainland because I probably would have been shot and killed."

The most real conversation I've had in months.

Cut and paste paragraph one as a response to dad's email.

******* yahoo. Been happily avoiding Olympic spoilers all day (hence why I'm not posting this in the Rio thread) and open yahoo homepage and giant spoiler right there. Not something like "Phelps goes for 10th gold" but more like "Phelps wins 10th gold in record style!" You don't have to be an ass and put the spoiler in the headline!

My dad can't even email. So I guess I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Thanks for the spoiler tags

Guess I don't have to watch now, CG. Thanks.
