    Maybe that should be another NP question. Tonsils or none? I'm guessing there will be a division along age lines as as per zag, I had a sore throat when I was a kid and therefore am without.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    This morning I received a NP birthday card :)
    Thank you. It's on display here.

    Do we share a birthday? What is the chances of that. And coincidentally the numbers in my postcode also add to 9!

    Posting from Spain. It is cold but sunny and we have done lots of walking.

    I've never had mine out. I think they naturally shrink in adulthood, don't they, though? So not sure I've exactly got any now. The view down my throat doesn't seem to include anything like the things I think are DD's tonsils when I look down hers.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I think mouthes grow rather than tonsils shrinking.

    I just reached my tomgue down my throat - I can feel a wobbly thing. Maybe the tonsils remain the same .... but our heads get bigger :)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I have no tonsils. My March hare teddy took them out, the doctor told me so when he came to see me afterwards and then he said something about being allowed to eat jelly an ice cream.


    Later, when I went to see private GP and we talked about my health and things was asked through previous history and I gave it to best recollection, then they started to examine me, checked inside my mouth, doctor gave exaggeratedly huge sigh, slapped noted down on desk, walked round, sat down put head in hands and said.

    'Lets start again. What operations have you had?'.
