In time, shredded leaves become something called leaf mold, which makes a fabulous mulch. What's more, it does wonders for the soil, and I like the look of it.

It is possible to remove a skin tag by tying a piece of thread or dental floss around it. Basically, by tying some kind of string around the tag you cut off its blood supply. Without any blood supply, the skin tag will eventually fall off.
Most skin tags are harmless and can be left alone, but if you have one that is bothersome, your doctor or dermatologist can safely remove it. He or she can freeze or burn it off, or quickly remove it with special scissors or a surgical razor. All of these procedures can be done in your doctor's office.
