Drags them off to the foot of the bed?  Left side by any chance?  When goof went off to gay Paree he almost got into the swing of things, bathing-wise.  Sounds like he can stand it only 3 days before he seeks out the eau d'goof. Don't let him make you feel bad about bathing once a week.

A few questions for you. Is it always the same time of the year? Where on your left leg? Does your left leg ever go anywhere that your right leg doesn't? Do these things have little heads on them like pimples? Do they 'blanche' when you touch them, and then return after a few seconds? How close are these spots to each other? If you connect the dots does it make a particular shape?

or anybody else that that might know about this...I know this is soooo trivial compared to what ususally goes on around here, so much so that I hate to post, but I can't just ring you guys up, so I'm wondering what you think...every year or so, I get these red kinda dots maybe? more dark pink, not very big, the size of pimples maybe but they are kinda flat...I get about two or three on only my left leg only (okay, quit snickering out there, I hear you!!!) I never put anything on them cause they seem to go away after awhile...think they maybe be bacterial cause they seem to spread till I get 4 or 5 of them (yeah, big deal), never get more that, and they stay on my left leg...once I scratched one in my sleep I guess and it got really much bigger, then scabbed over and went away...washing them with a non-soap liquid that I use (in my bath) and water helps them leave...I take one bath a week, the rest of the week showers...the bath seems to help much more than the showers...

I know youre not derms, but what do you think? I've never treated them with anything, should I get an anti-bacterial thingy to put on them? and if so, which one? I know youre just speculating non-experts, but that'll do me fine...like I said, they rarely come but they are back again...

Some of those q's had some basis. Do you sleep with a pet, like dog who may have some of it's own little guests?  Spiders and some varieties of ants can give gifts like that too. All is almost ok here.  Insurance co. is asking a lot of questions since the doc has rx'd meds outside the standard of care for a geno 3.  But, that's not so surprising - just a few more hoops to jump through and I had expected a few speed bumps.  Still plan to start 10/13 but I'll need to know the meds are really coming since I plan to take riba for a week before shot #1.  Weather here is sooo nice these days.  Been spending time at the beach (where there are little nipping sand fleas, by the way) and playing golf, trying to o.d. on it before it's not a suitable recreational activity.

FLguy asks: Is it always the same time of the year?

Read again FLguy: The woman says she bathes WEEKLY. Lucky for Le Petit Caporal, Waterloo was not a suburb of LA.
