If it turns out that my melanoma is all localized and hasn't drained into the lymph nodes then I'll not only keep drinking the green tea but will probably go from 2 black and 1 green to 2 green and 1 black. lol
But it's yet to be determined what the cancer cooties have in mind for me.
I'll have a better idea once the skin tumor has been staged.

This news is disturbing Bob.

I'm not ready to accept the reality of what might be. As a survivor, I can relate to the uncertainty that hangs in the air like a fart in an elevator.

I hope and pray your test results will be negative.

Take care.

If it ends up that I was able to catch it early enough to skate through this thing then I will owe my life to yella's daughter (who has medical training).
She spotted it and told me "you need to get that looked at yesterday. it looks like a melonoma and is probably malignant".

Many of you probably already know about this but I was one of the ones who didn't. So for others like me you need to know this.
One very common telltale sign of a melanoma is an irregularly shaped discoloration around what appears to be a mole or something like it.
At the age many of us are we get all kinds of spots on our skin. But it's when it has that irregular shape discoloration around it is when you need to get it examined. This photo is one example of what it looks like. Mine looked like it but it didn't have as much of the discoloration around it.

Thank goodness for Yella's daughter.

Hallmark, that's interesting because I like hot green tea, but not cold green tea. And I am not sure that most of the so-called green tea that we have in our grocery stores is the real deal. A lot of it isn't green, it's brown.

I would try to find "real" green tea. And it should be green in color, not brown.

I woke up to so much bizarro stuff on the tv news this morning that my head almost burst.
Michael Douglas getting cancer because of sex with women. The IRS "Star Trek" and "Dancing with the IRS Stars". The Iraq War giving China oil (so it will be able to have fuel for all the weapons systems it's stole from us).
Storm Chasers blown away by tornados. Burger King selling a neck brace to hold the Whoppers.
God only knows what's coming next.

This is an ad, but I believe what they say about green tea bought in the US is true. The best green tea, according to the Japanese, is from Shizuoka, Japan.

Yes, I bet! Nowadays, you are likely to be asked if you would like coffee or green tea. But I imagine when you were there, coffee was not so common?

Right, I miss that about Japan. But then sometimes over there, I just wanted a paper towel or napkin. Those are still rare!

The best thing...they are warm!

Yes!! A real treat in Hokkaido

Yep!
Hey, they ought to at least have those here in bbq restaurants!

Sorry, Bob!
Really though...look for some real green tea. Maybe there's an Asian food store in Pensacola?

Anyone know anything about this place?

This might be more to Bobs taste.
Hong Kong-based barman Tom Wood is going to the bartending Oscars -- the Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender of the Year global finals.


Consummate bartender: Tom Wood does puns and pours.

Originally from Australia, Wood will be the first mixologist to represent Hong Kong at the championship, contending with 50 other top barmen from around the world for the coveted title of "Bartender of the Year."

Reigning world champion Manabu Ohtake was one of the judges to pick Wood as the Hong Kong representative.



"I believe we are entering a Golden Age for bartending where bartenders are highly respected and regarded as serious professionals," says Ohtake.

Wood went through a year's worth of heats before winning the Hong Kong final. Each of his three winning drinks have an urban feel and a cheeky edge.

His Johnny Walker Gold Label Reserve ritual starts with a tea "fog" made by pouring Chinese tea over dry ice. The whiskey is then chased with a piece of Jasmine-flavored dragon beard candy.

The proper way to enjoy the ritual is to "take a sip of whiskey, smell the tea aroma and take a bite of candy."

What an endearing whiskey ritual for Hong Kongers. We can't help but think of long karaoke sessions in Shenzhen where the go-to drink is whiskey mixed with sweetened green tea.

Don't apologize to me. We all need to apologize to Michael Douglas.
And I pray that bartenders and whiskey actually does become therapy. Then I'll be so healthy I'll probably live forever. lol

Bob use peroxide as a topical treatment....cancer doesn't like that either.

Is there such a thing as packaged carrot juice? Like maybe at Evermans or someplace. After my first experience with homemade juice I have no confidence in it.

Canned carrot juice is crap, but they will juice a bunch of carrots for you right there and I guarantee it will be the best thing you ever drank. (that isn't alcoholic. LOL)

Try not to worry about the skin cancer. You got it nipped in the bud.
And I'll drive you to and from the doctor. I imagine you will be too dopey to drive afterwards.
