Close to Home by John McPherson for October 10, 2015

I could have won that on two different occasions as a child, and now as an adult I’ve had two skin cancer surgeries.

Kind of gross yet oddly funny! :)

They’ve got skin in the game.

The “Where Are They Now” show will just be a list of participants who are battling skin cancer.

The winning margin was paper thin.

Not very a-peeling.

I won the Children’s Division 3 years running! And, yes Nicole, I have skin cancer. No melanoma yet, but my Dermatologist says it’s just a matter of time.

I think this must be someplace else. People on the west coast know better now. As previous commentators have shown.

When I was 12, I went to summer camp and spent an entire day kicked back in an inner tube with no sunscreen. Worst sunburn I ever had! After a few days, the skin started peeling around my neck so I peeled it away and it came off in one huge sheet from my neck to my belt line and from side to side. I would have won the world series of skin peeling that year!

My dad used to sunbathe at the beach, and he would usually develop a bad sunburn. I used to see how big a piece I could get from him… I got some lulus! BTW… he’s still around and is now 100 years old.

Gross !!

This needed a trigger warning. hurk
