I became concerned when I reached for what looked like a zit on my neck to find instead that it was a piece of skin protruding out like a tooth pick.

I am one who resists the nanny state mentality. It is not the place of government to help us in every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave.

In the process of moving, I found an item that I had given up as lost.
