[quote user="BlackLabbie"] [quote user="iluvjamison"] Paul Rudd is cute, but a little too boy next door for me. [/quote] All the guys I dated and my DH included have the "boy next door" look, seriously. They're all average build, average height, dress casually (jeans and t-shirts), not pretty boys but not mountain men, not too good or too bad, just average, lol. All have been sports fanatics (my DH is the worst). I also have a thing for Luke Wilson. [/quote] I LOVE

I think if I ever have a daughter I'd like to name her: Ashlynn

All good ideas, thank you all!

I'm trying to convince my family of ridding our house of trans fats (i.e. buying butter instead of margarine). When it comes to greasing pans, it's always been shortening, which is loaded with trans fat. I'm not sure what I should grease pans with that works as well as shortening but has 0g trans fat. (I think Smart Balance may have a product?) Would just plain butter work just as well as shortening? What are your opinions?

Alright, got my biopsy results today--turns out it's just eczema! *thumbs up* Once again, thanks all for your good wishes! :-)

[quote user="Sunshinegirl"]Also ask about grandparents, etc..... If the Dr suspects it's skin cancer, ask about a "Punch Biopsy" where they only take a very small bit of the suspect area and biopsy it. Are you going to a dermatologist? It shouldn't be necessary for the entire area to be removed like they used to do in the "good old days." Keep us posted, k? [/quote] Alright I was able to ask my mom today, apparently my aunt (previously mentioned) and my grandpa

Okay, got an appointment with the Dr. on Wednesday morning, we'll see what happens... [quote user="Sunshinegirl"]Agreed - get to the Dr asap. Melanoma can be hereditary and it's nothing to mess around with. Even if you've had no sun exposure, if it runs in your family, you can get it. Have you asked family members if anyone in the family has had it?? Don't wait, better to know than not.......[/quote] From what I remember, neither of my parents nor any of my brothers have
