I'll let you know when I feel the need to take life advice from someone nine years younger than me. If I deem it as time well spent with other people in a social setting, then that's what it was to me. Case dismissed. Shut up now.

I've never thought of turning it into an enterprise...but interesting idea :p

Yeah, I coulda shellacked it, but I didn't think of that until after it had gone all moldy n' gross. Apparently spreading petroleum jelly on the exposed flesh can keep it from rotting so quickly. Something to try for next time.
