I was ...Tick removal...not for the faint of heart. I was told never to burn a tick because, well, obviously, I would burn myself, let's face it. I have heard that an alcohol soaked cotton ball and a good twist is a foolproof method. Frankly, I like the tweezers method best. Now, I have to go check myself for ticks since I spent about three hours digging in the dirt today.<BR/><BR/>Harley-next time you are in town, if you see me, please say hi!<BR/><BR/>Same with JRC - whomever you are!<BR/><BR/>And Suzie...it is an uncomfortable place to be in, whatever place you are in, once you have had cancer. This is something that I always knew about cancer, even before I had it, but look, if you have never had cancer, you still have that huge unknown about GETTING cancer, because so many people eventually do. At least we know and have seen the devil and have some experience in fighting it.<BR/><BR/>Right? Gotta find that bright side...<BR/><BR/>LaurenYoga Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370141306007721604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-48138623043112719332008-04-13T19:08:00.000-04:002008-04-13T19:08:00.000-04:00I completely understand your fear at your oncologi...I completely understand your fear at your oncologist 'cutting the cord'.

I just checked your blog for the first time in a while and it looks like you are in a good grove. I always say thank goodness for yoga! It sounds like you are practicing with my fav teacher in the whole world. I miss NY alot and am always glad to hear snippets about my teacher! I ran into someone in LA and we were talking about how we miss NY and read the ashtanga blogs to keep up. We don't comment but we read. Anyway--best wishes to you.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843429225011511706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-89281766874022331502008-04-11T15:31:00.000-04:002008-04-11T15:31:00.000-04:00Or if you are going walking in fields and don't wa...Or if you are going walking in fields and don't want to tuck your trousers into your wellies carry a cigarette and a lighter if a tick gets in your leg hold the lit cigarette against its bum.
