Wow, Servicedoggy! I don't care a fig about your chin or any other physical manifestation of this mortal coil. You are one hell of a writer! That story is amazing, had me laughing in tears at the Ferret Man routine. That belongs on a 'SNL Does Therapy' skit.
It brought back memories of my hating my nose when I was an adolescent. I trained myself to fall asleep so that my nose was pushed up flat against the bed in order to train it into a Gidget-like turned up perkiness. Why I've had chronic respiratory problems suddenly makes perfect sense! I used to draw endless pictures - I mean hours on end - of women in 3/4 profile, all with perfect little button like noses. My nose doesn't concern me at all now even though not model perfect. It's a fine nose, even with it's little bump. Thank God I didn't end up with a real oinker Miss Piggy nose as a result of mattress therapy.
But I get the picture about how something like that can escalate into a worthy subject for obsession. I've been doing some more research on it and my stuff falls more into the anxious depression camp.
Any how, thanks for a great treat reading your courageous reply. I think we all have a book in us and you've got a best seller. All the best to you. - BCat
