Hmm. I went for a medical checkup and now I've been called in for a doctor's review. I checked with my colleague that was also called in, she said that she asked for the review over the phone, and there were some minor issues, so I guess I found out they don't call you in for nothing.
I'll go for the review next Thursday. Hopefully it's nothing big.
And I'm fretting so much I forgot to wear my clothes.

Maybe they want to talk about your Carnivorous diet. Good luck! let us know!

They would call you in to talk to you about that? Most doctors I've seen would of gave me some literature and sent me on my way. Must work different where your at.

Just got to remain calm nothing you can do about it until you go and talk to them. It might be something bad or it might be something not so bad. I would just try to think its something minor until you talk to them. Worrying about it won't help. In fact maybe its high blood pressure and worrying about it is only increasing your blood pressure!
I mean you don't feel sick right? That is usually a good sign most of the time.

No rain here. By the time you get down here it will be about noon, so you'll have the entire afternoon to rip out landscaping, dirt, build a functional concrete block wall, and several decorative brick walls, and then just for grins rip out most of my driveway and replace it with something awesome. Oh, and cut down 7 trees that are near homes and power lines. I figure you can have that done in time to go out to dinner with us tonight. ;)

Going by what my own doctor keeps chiding me about, i.e. excess weight can lead to stress on the heart, the joints, the everything, they probably just want to scare you a little bit and talk about "lifestyle changes".

Many, many pages ago, I wrote of a man who walked up to me while I was mowing and asked if he could mow my lawn for gas money.
Last night there was a knocking at my door.
Apparently this time his car caught fire in another town, so he and his wife decided their best course of action was to walk several miles to my house and ask to mow my yard again. I reiterate: This was the best option they could come up with.
Sure, I let him mow my yard again, but...this is just weird.

I won't deny it's a possibility, but too many things are actually adding up properly in their stories - it's too organized (I can't believe I'm saying that) for what the average local meth-head is going to put together. Plus they do have all of their teeth.
(I'm being a bit flippant, as addiction is a real problem and meth is absolutely horrible. But I'm really leaning towards "not meth" and more towards "weird people who make odd decisions and this could be a contributing factor to why they're in their current predicament". I got a lot of backstory from them last night. But still really weird.)

But weight really does matter. My aunt had less achy feet after she lost some weight. Seriously I don't mind exercising its just there's only so many hours in a day. Which reminds me...off running tomorrow.

meth is one of those drugs that doesnt affect your thought processes negatively until the time you start to go hardcore. Most methheads are fairly intelligent, especially as meth increases focus and energy levels, some will memorize entire books before getting to a level where they only really focus on less complicated things. I would argue these guys are in the early stages- affable, mostly law abiding and willing to travel long distances on foot if it means getting more meth in a quiet way.

Why Everybody Hates Trade Wars With NobodysHome
So, Final Fantasy Online has a very robust crafting and marketplace system, so you can craft hard-to-get items, check what other people are selling them for, and sell them for a competitive price. Most people politely align with the current lowest price. It's a remarkably-polite community.
Then there are the jerks who just HAVE to come along and undercut everybody.
So one of my "staple items" is an orchestrion: A music player that has been selling on the market for months for 300,000. Mine stopped selling about a week ago, and I checked, and one guy had put up 8 on the market at 290,000, so was forcing prices down.
So I dropped the price on my one item down to 250,000, figuring I'd let it sell then he could get his 290,000.
Within 2 hours, he'd dropped all his prices down to 240,000, just to beat me.
Well, I'm patient, I'm Lawful, and I'm vengeful.
If he'd just matched my price, I would have let it go.
Instead, the market is now flooded with 50,000 gp orchestrions, 'cause those aren't worth making so if he undersells me it'll be at a loss.
Ever considered an even playing field, fella?

Don't really know how much you appreciate having me nosing around on your server ^^'
I tended to flood the market with copious amount of "cheap" (think lowest bid minus 10-15 percent) of cheap crafting materials. Everything actually need to "play the game" would usually get the same treatment as crafting materials, unless it was was really really high end or a freaking pain to acquire/craft.
Only high-end vanity stuff, or the like, would be anywhere near the going market prices.

Flooding the market with a bunch of vanity items just a bit cheaper than mine? OK, it happens, and as long as you just do it once it doesn't bug me that much.
Watching my prices and adjusting yours so that they're consistently lower than mine on your flood of cheap items?That's an eBay level of jerkiness, and results in nothing being on the market 'cause the prices get so low that nothing's worth selling any more...

Hey, Kjel. What's up?
Not much.
Went to work - asked for a letter of recommendation from my former employer, and got one (its okay content-wise, but not that well written, looks like a bit of a rush job).
Finished touching up my resume by this afternoon, attached the LR above and sent it out to a couple of stables, a horse-breeder and a riding school.
Crossed my fingers for a positive response back.
Went for a swim.
Fell asleep on the couch, when I got back home.
Currently just browsing around on the net, or playing a game or two.
Still a bit moody and depressed, though think I've kind of plateaued out...so I'm just waiting for things to being picking back up for the better.
How about you John? Been feeling alright lately? Jobs still a pain?
