We are apparently getting "Wx Family Vacation" shirts for the week in Orlando. Can you feel my excitement?!?!?
We have gone on a half dozen family trips with my two sisters, two of three stepbrothers, father & stepmother plus assorted spouses.
Never ONCE has anyone suggested family t-shirts. :)
However, the Scot side of my family has a reunion at the Grandfather Mountain highland games each summer. My grandfather's name was Daniel Archie McNeill, and they wear t-shirts every year that read D.A.M.N. family reunion. I could get behind that. ;)
 
Nope - mine was a different kind...ganglion cyst. It formed on the inside of my wrist, at the base of my thumb. Made it pretty difficult to type (and was determined to have been caused by repetitive motion (data entry).

I can't remember what he called mine, but he said he thinks it's the oil that would naturally go into your hair building up in there instead. Which sounds ******* disgusting.

Googling Pilar cyst, it sounded like an ingrown hair gone batspit crazy...the cyst contains a lot of keratin.
Ganglions are fluid filled sacks. Sometimes they go away on their own (no such luck) or are asymptomatic (mine was constricting the movement of my thumb tendon and kept me from bending my wrist). Treatments are needle aspiration (tried that twice with me), and surgical removal (three times). Pain in the freakin'.........wrist...
