C’mon, people, you know we’ve got to fill this thing up . . . okay, I keep checking behind my ears for the volcano to erupt. It’s difficult to hit the sweet spot, but once you do, there is nothing so satisfying as emptying the crater with one good squeeze! Anyone else? ---

jimm, sounds like A CYST. I had one on my breast. At first, of course, I was worried it was cancer, but when I poked it, it burst. I then figured it was just a pimple. But I kept on having to pop it every few days. Finally, I went to the doc. She informed me NOT TO BE POKING AND SQUEEZING THINGS! I had her remove it… and it took her forever to get it out. I had squeezed it so much, it had become embedded in the tissue. Let yoru body naturally take care of it. If you can, soak it in epson salts regularly. Or, if you want, see about having it removed. ---
