Okay, I listen to NPR a lot. 1) NPR does NOT just talk about politics. 2) I don’t get my political opinions from NPR. I get them from the golden rule. Even though I don’t practice Christianity or any religion, it’s a good rule. Trump (and Hegseth and whoever), take a note.

NPR has lately been running shows about LooksMax. I am kinda (horribly) fascinated with the idea that young men (teenagers and twenty-somethings) are actually doing things like hitting themselves in the face with hammers to do something to make their bone structure, uh what? More handsome? There are other things like making yourself taller. I’m not sure that is easy to make happen.

I get it. My bugaboo in junior high/high school was acne. It was pretty bad. Creams and crap like that, prescribed by my doctor/uncle if anything made it worse. Finally he gave me a mild antibiotic (that my family probably didn’t pay for) that I could use and refill when needed. That did the trick until age took over and dried me out a bit, only a few years later.

When I saw something today about “rib remodeling” (for women) fly by I didn’t even want to look at it. Does that mean you are taking a hammer to your rib cage to make yourself skinnier? I do not know and I did not look.

P.S. Having your uncle as a doc? It was not creepy at all. He just did little kid things and the acne thing and once a horrible ear infection. Git in the car, we’re goin’ to town, where he blew the wax outta my ear and gave me an antibiotic (that my family probably didn’t pay for). He didn’t get involved in examining female relatives’ woman parts.
