If it is real, not much you can do about birth marks. Makes little difference.

Does no one realize the bottom says performing thoracic surgery with common household items? I thinks its 100% real

I don't get it. Is it supposed to look like California?

[Peikko 1,575]

I don't get it either - unless it's some 'end times' reference. That would be a little out of left field to say the least though, in my opinion.

on a news program they were talking about a magazine that had Sarah Palin on the cover that was untouched and showed the wrinkles etc... they then said something like it was unfair that they never published untouched photos of Obama...

I think that is where this is from...

[Marilyn. 340]

Sarah Palin's picture on the cover of Newsweek sparks controversy. Republicans find the photo untouched. In a Fox News video below a Republican said that the Newsweek photo emphasizes Sarah Palin's wrinkles, blemishes, pores and facial hair, while Newsweek make Barack Obama's photo to look "presidential" while they deliberately made Sarah Palin look like "one of the folks".

On one hand many people also think that Sarah Palin is beautiful even without make up and even without the photo retouching (we agree!). However the subtitle appeared bias and just not right. "She's one of the Folks" has drawn criticism. The subtitle suggests that Sarah Palin is too much of a commoner to become a VP of the United States. The subtitle "She's one of the Folks" is more of a negative for Sarah Palin!

I totally saw that. If we keep getting screwed over by HMOs, that's exactly where we'll be heading.

They can be removed using a laser; at least "port wine" birthmarks can be removed that way.....

Port-Wine Stains

Another kind of birthmark is a port-wine stain. This isn't puffy or raised like a strawberry or cavernous hemangioma — it's level with the outer layer of skin. A port-wine stain is an area of skin that is either maroon (a purplish-red color) or dark red. It gets its name from port wine, a type of wine that is dark maroon. Kids who have port-wine stains usually have them on the face and neck.

Doctors can sometimes use laser surgery to treat birthmarks so that they can't be seen as much. It's important to remember, though, that birthmarks really aren't a big deal and kids who have them aren't any different from kids who don't.

Don't worry. It is just the black coming back.
