I have always loved that "speech" since the first email forwarded to me, and while it isn't by Kurt Vonnegut, as it originally claimed, it is still great.
Oh yeah, I have heard this!!! :D
These lyric contain some great words of wisdom,
This is the one I wish I knew 60 years ago. I have had to undergo severalQuote:
But trust me on the sunscreen.
surgeries to remove skin cancer just in the last year. I am still recovering from my last mohs surgery and it looks like I will have a significant scar.
My Dad, who was an avid golfer, had skin cancer that he had to have burned off. He loved the sun, never wore a hat or sunscreen.
There was one part I heard on the radio that wasn't in the written lyrics. "Solving life's problems is like trying to solve an algebra problem by chewing bubble gum."
In any case, I love it!!
Hubby went through the mohs surgery yesterday in Rochester. If we would of only known way back then about skin cancer. It is bad stuff but at least they can do something about it now. They only had to cut hubby once, after removing & looking at the tissue, & then sewed him up (13 stitches) They got it all is what they said. He has to go back in six months for a full body check. Another guy that was waiting had to go back in they didn't get it all. They have you sit in the waiting room with a guaze over the incision while they check the tissue & if cancer cells are in the tissue they remove more until they get it all. I can see where you would have a good size scare plus it takes up to a year for it to completley heal.
Yes, Wom, I have heard that skin cancer is an even bigger problem in Australia. Paul is Irish, as is his mom, both have had skin cancer surgery already, and will have to have an annual check for the foreseeable future. I have no doubt that at some point I will as well, the number of time I burned the skin on my nose - and the fact that I am the poster child for warning signs for people who should be concerned; "Fair skin, blonde as a child, burns easily, freckles ..." though compare to Paul and his brother, I don't count as freckled at all.
Skin cancer is nothing to take lightly, Paul's aunt died from it not long after we were married.
It's very serious here, the Aussie sun is hard on us fair people.
My dad died of melanoma 10 years ago.
I've had two now on my ears that had to be cut out, because I wear caps a lot, the ears are exposed. I really need to get a floppy hat....one with many colours :D
Love this.

I'm whiter than white and often scare myself when I see my legs out of the corner of my eye. LOL. I've always known that SPF is my friend. I'm either snowy white or burnt red. Burnt red hurts and just is icky. My favorite advice is: Dance!
