I wish to thank all of my new family here in Letterville for all the nice comments towards me found on this board as well as those who wished me well on my birthday.
Coming to this age has also brought on many pains in places which tend to slow me down. The doctors have determined that my life as I knew it will change dramically, if I don't. My heart has 4 different heartbeats which never really bothered me up until around 4 months ago. The pain I endure each day can be contributed to many of the vices I have. Doctors slay me with little knowledge of my lifestyle and the things I use both in my work and play. It amazes me that they would rather play golf then learn all they can in regards to their trade while not going to seminars which pertain to knowledge of things we endure each day. I have used just about every substance in relation to my work as well as my play, between lead, iso's and solvents, its a wonder I've lasted this long.
I'm not complaining and certainly aren't looking to have a pity party, I'm just explaining what I go through on a daily basis living around persons who haven't a clue to exactly who I am, what I do and then giving me their diagnosis as if I will change my life in one minute. I truly believe that I am different then most people here and my answers have tons of experience behind them from just about everything that have killed 1/2 the persons I've grown with, sh-t I just might outlast the other 1/2.
And as the chief said in Dances with Wolves, "thats all I have to say"

Joey, Ten Bears' words were "That's all I have to say about, that" I know that your focus is your life's chosen work, and I'm sure you will continue to spread knowledge and goodwill for years to come.

i agree with you joey, doctors seem to be the most inept craftsmen about their work. lets see you do a striping job, with mistakes and then collect 3 times more money then what it was worth.

You tell 'em OP! Or how about if you run a bunch of "tests" and then say, thousands of $$$ later, "Gee, I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I should run some more tests!"

Joey, you should have be discussing real estate or the stock market with your doctor, then he would have taken care of you.
