Reminded me of a call I got when I worked for Kaiser Permanente as a teleph advice nurse . . . a lady was pretty freaked because of odd yellowing to one hand. She was imagining all sorts of calamities. And from her past history & her answers to my questions AND that I couldn't see her over the phone; I advised her to go in to check it out. She did. Doctor shot back a humored reply - -  pickle juice stains!  She had been dipping into the sweet butter pickles with that hand. Oh, the things we worry about!  Not so weird as the one where a lady asked if snake spit would hurt a baby . . .turns out their 6ft boa was found on bed with the napping 3 mo old . . .with the baby's head completely inside snake's mouth!  While another nurse called police & protective services, the woman was kept on the phone .... guess the family had a dubious history with both agencies, can't remember how it all ended but sheesh!
 - ahhh - can't wait for rainless weekends and warmth!!!
