Miss Tickle

lumpkin is the tumor in Skaterina's neck

on the left side 

she was discovered via a c and t scan 

oh quel' sorpresa

surely we didnt know about her / never felt her

despite her being about the size of a Really Big Bing Cherry

shaped like a Big Cherry

that is, Round

it is hard to recall now more than a year later for she is now really quite small and no longer round

she is flat

she appears to be disappearing behind Skaterinas's powerful neck muscles

~~~~~

powerful neck muscles ??

Skaterina has been doing the movements  known as the Five Tibetans or the Tibetan Rites for over six years / she began them when she was 73  / she was beginning to reluctantly see that she was on the verge of decrepitude

well !  take that, Decrepitude !

The Rites are stimulants to the endocrine system / those ductless glands that produce and control ones hormones

the neck is just full of glands !

the neck is engaged in these movements more than in any other system like yoga or pilates

the tibetans are unique to themselves

they are an inner tune.up

they are not even really "exercise"  / they do not cause pain or make you sweat

they release one from the bondage of aging 

yeah !  do these and you will look 20 years younger

hmmmm / let's see how that works, she said to herself, and promised to do the Rites every day for a year / she was motivated by Curiosity, her old pal

for example :

soon after Skaterina embarked on daily performance of the Tibetans her family went away for several months / upon return the family daughter much surprised to see how fit and healthy Skaterina suddenly looked exclaimed :

your jowls are gone !
