You've probably seen some of vestanumbers' posts since you've been around for a while. If you have, you've noted a lower-level of cognitive ability that she possesses. In other words, ain't no big deal (and you're certainly not taking it that way, which is a great plus for you).
vestanumbers continually broadcasts her geriatric condition, as if somehow age equals sense. She routinely demonstrates a complete lack of sense which, most of the rest of us look at and scratch our heads in wonder.
You, sir, strike me as being a stand-up guy. 
If I haven't already said it, welcome. And vestanumbers? When she reaches down about three times a day and pulls her head out of her butt, she can -- on rare occasions -- actually make some sense.
But I never hold my breath waiting for that to happen. 
Eupher my dear friend
Dane, you are a few years older then I but we are from the same generation and I am sure you have noticed how things have changed in the last 50+ years.
Back in the 60's we girls would mix baby oil with a few drops of iodine to get some interesting tans, some came out bright orange. Even today with the spray tans we buy sometimes they turn a strange color on some people.
Parents and grand parents up north in the spring would push us kids outside to get some color as they said we looked pasty white from the winters inside. So off we went with no skin protection and get sunburned to the point we could actually peel of the very top layer of skin, like a snake sheading its skin.
Now it is only in the last 25 years or so I see and hear of more and more people getting some kind of skin cancer.
When I first noticed a little bump on my face I ignored it until I noticed it was starting to sprout small bumps around it. I did as an after thought call it to my Doctors attention and the very next day I had to go to the skin Doctor. She removed the bumps leaving a small scar.
One week later I had an appointment with a surgeon that did the MOES treatment for skin cancer. Dane, this was the most scared time in my life, seems the cancer cells had spread into my cheeks and into my jaw. What should have been an hours treatment now took well over 6 hours as the doctor had to track down the cells and remove them before they too could spread.
What a mess for a female to see one whole side of her face chris crossed with black train tracks. I looked like a zombie and how was I to go to work or out of my home without scaring the dogs and horses?
It takes a year or more after the stitches are removed for the face to fill in and all signs of the operation to go away No scars except the fear the Doctor may have missed a couple to come back in the future.
To make matters worse as I could no longer live my life as it had been, living on the water sailing, jet skiing and Kayaking without 3 pounds of sun block and the fear that was not enough.
So Dane, I no longer go out into the sun at this time, I take triple doses of D3, benefit is my hair grows faster and longer, but this has sure changed my life in way too many ways to tell.
Such a simple thing as a skin cancer that mutates through the body, cause of death may be some organ failure but it can start as a strange pimple or mole on the body.
Eupher, get your shit together and realize that one does not wear sandals in crocodile country.
