Remember to use your sunscreen even in the winter!
I had a tiny freckle cut out of my foot a couple of months ago and today had to go back in to have some more of the flesh around it cut out. I have 8 hairy stitches!
Google's contact lens glucose monitor prototype could end finger pricks for diabetics Article by: MARTHA MENDOZA , Associated Press Updated: January 16, 2014 - 7:35 PM
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google unveiled Thursday a contact lens that monitors glucose levels in tears, a potential reprieve for millions of diabetics who have to jab their fingers to draw their own blood as many as 10 times a day.
The prototype, which Google says will take at least five years to reach consumers, is one of several medical devices being designed by companies to make glucose monitoring for diabetic patients more convenient and less invasive than the traditional finger pricks.
The lenses use a minuscule glucose sensor and a wireless transmitter to help those among the world's 382 million diabetics who need insulin keep a close watch on their blood sugar and adjust their dose. ...
Researchers also had to build in a system to pull energy from incoming radio frequency waves to power the device enough to collect and transmit one glucose reading per second. The embedded electronics in the lens don't obscure vision because they lie outside the eye's pupil and iris
I'm glad this post from November is still up because now you can all wish me a happy birthday. In other news, yes I think it's time to kill this blog. Frank, can you do it?

Hi,
Remember to use your sunscreen even in the winter!
I had a tiny freckle cut out of my foot a couple of months ago and today had to go back in to have some more of the flesh around it cut out. I have 8 hairy stitches!
Taker care of yourselves!
Lisa
Lisa, that is no fun. Not fun to hobble around when you are hosting Thanksgiving.
I put 19 gallons of gas in my van today for $1.90. Thank you BP rewards card!
Monica
Oh, and have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Monica
Happy Thanksgiving! -Molly
That sounds painful!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK! I THINK THE BLOG IS DEAD (AND MAYBE SHOULD BE DELETED?) BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO POST SOMETHING...

Have a great New Year everyone.
Monica
Happy birthday, Frank!
I don't want it to die, either. I believe it can be relevant.

I heard about this yesterday. Pretty cool.
Monica
I just saw a bald eagle in my backyard for the 3rd time in a week.
Cool. We also saw a coyote trotting around back there about a week ago.
Monica
I know, good thing our cat is an indoor cat.
Hair cut: I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday. I haven't had a cut since May and it's half way down my back right now. Nearly to my waist.
Any ideas? Long still, just not so long? Cut it short and dye it grey so that I don't have to dye it any more?
Let me know what you think!
What did you end up doing?
The safe thing.
5 inches off.
dyed brown. too dark I think.
It's a good hair cut. The darker color is hard on a delicately colored lady like me!
