I used to pick it off. Now I leave it be about 90% of the time. The 10% occurs when it's been around a week & still the shell has not come off on it's own -- that's when I will intervene.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
