I'm glad you are enjoying this. I sure appreciate the help. I believe CalSherry and MissSherry are correct about the orange longwing being Dione juno. I also think what I took to be a tail on the small yellow and black butterfly was actually part of a leaf. I thought I remembered seeing tails on the actual butterfly, but it's been six weeks since I saw one up close, so I don't trust my memory any more than my vision. I found a picture that looks very much like it -- without tails -- on mariposasmexicanas.com (thanks CalSherry for this site, which I immediately bookmarked): Catasticta nimbice nimbice, Mexican Dartwhite. The little checker could be Anthanassa ardys, but I'll have to get a better picture to be sure. Any guesses about the platinum colored one or the longtail skipper? geni

I am not trying to make light of your situation....I know that you are worried about it being cancer. It's only natural that you would be worried. That's our human nature at work. But, let's just look at things from another angle. Sure, that lump could turn out badly. You could also get hit by a car and smashed into the pavement. You could get hit by something falling from a window in a building. Someone could go crazy and start shooting at everyone, including you. You could slip in your bathtub and bang your head enough to mess up your brain. There are hundreds of bad things that could happen to you. You could even get food poisoning at lunch today and die before tomorrow. Do all of those possible bad things send you into tears? Every day that we walk this wonderful earth may be the last day that we have because bad things happen to good people. Live for the good things that you have today. Don't waste your time crying about what might happen tomorrow. And for the technicians and doctor that didn't behave as you felt they should.....There are people, unlike you, that would complain because the tech wasn't serious..."she just kept smiling." The medical staff has to walk a narrow path between being too blunt and too friendly. Not everyone does it well. What bothers one patient, is just exactly what another one is looking for. One wants to given ALL the facts. Another doesn't want to know anything. How is the tech supposed to know how YOU feel? And so you are "distressed and upset." About what? It sounds as if there is little chance that you have a worry. As the tech said...if the doctor was worried, a biopsy would be done very soon. There would be no waiting to see what happens in six months. It doesn't work that way. A doctor would NOT take a chance like that. But, on the other hand, a GOOD doctor knows that strange and unexpected things happen and she wants to look again later. Take care of yourself. Talk about it with your friends if you feel comfortable with talking. It may help you. Let us know how you are getting along.

This sounds eerily similar to the saga of my brother and sister-in-law. Their youth, the baby, our dedication to them all (specifically the baby) and yet time and time again she used my nephew as bait to make us jump through hoops. And we jumped - over and over and over again. After about five years of threats on her part, despair and terror on ours, it stopped. I don't know exactly what happened, if perhaps she finally matured or if she finally realized that no matter what horrible thing she did to us we would continue to keep the peace in order to be a part of their and my nephew's life. Back then I would grit my teeth and smile but deep down I truly hated her for what she was doing. Now she is my best friend. It was difficult but well worth the fight.

Shiela, I am still having issues but it is all minor which I can handle. I cannot stand the Houzz app but chrome is useless for me.

Just a few steps I have to take Everytime I log on and chrome is right there handy. jin
