A couple of weeks ago, my Mum developed this growing red spot, the sort of reddish colour that looks like dried blood. I just want to know if anybody knows about this sort of thing and could give me an opinion. Perhaps vat_man would know....

Thanks!
 
If you are worried about it, either see a doctor and ask if he would know what it is...

OR

Explain to your Mother that you are worried about it, and ask her to go get a checkup.

Hope it turns out as nothing. :)
 
Thanks, both of you. vat_man would know, as both of his parents died of cancer from smoking.

And yes, my Mum does smoke. So does Dad
 
write 666 on all his cancer sticks,and then itll make him think the devil is after him,and make him crazy...

WARNING-DO NOT try this stunt on a religious man's cigerettes,you will be bashed on the head many times with a stick,giving yourself a bloodclot in the brain causing a painful death..

And jazza,i hope your mom is ok...
 
Mustang man gave some good advice - I would go along with that.

Dudebusta - I don't give a rat's arse you smoke - that's your choice, all the information is publicly available, you know the risks.

My comment is this - I'm 31. I'm about to buy the 'matrimonial home' (well, we aren't married), the thick end of $1 million - I'm pretty damn proud we got the finance. We've got a great car, a great life. Things are pretty sweet - but....

I want to show my acheivements off to my dad. I want to sit with him and drink red wine and listen to Pink Floyd on my kick arse stereo. I want to show Mum our new garden. I want to play golf and get drunk with the old man. I want Mum and Dad to come to Sydney and stay with us - and I ****ing can't, because they're dead - dead from ****ing smoking before they made 60 - do you want your kids to have this yearning? It eats from within - it's a nagging that fills your quiet moments, and won't let you have any true peace. It will pass - but right now, it's this void that can not be filled.

If you go under a bus, well, bad things happen to good people, but to die from something as controllable and pointless, sheesh, is it really worth it?

That's it - that's my comment on smoking - frame this, because it's the only one I'll make on this forum. Think REALLY hard about it. It's not about you - it's about who you leave behind.
 
im not a heavy smoker, just a social smoker i guess. a pack of cigarettes may last me a week to a week and a half. a cigarette is better than a stubby or a glass of port, it gives you something else and if you have never smoked, you dont know how good it feels.

vat_man, i do sympathise with you about losing your parents and i can only hope the same thing doesnt happen to my family but smoking is harder to give up than grog, ive tried but i cant do it. your parents may have found the same thing.

anyway mate, congratulations on getting the money for your own home. :cheers:
 
Thanks mate - but I had to share on that. As I said, I'll make the comment once.

Only gotta find another $72k between now and Sept 20! - eek!!!
