I used to be a land surveyor, I worked in a school, and I did deliveries... all required more walking that most people do in multiple lifetimes. It did not really help anything then and it doesn't now. What it does do is make me suffer more pain. There is not a part of my body that does. not hurt at some point during the day. Yet, all I get is hemming and hawing from the doctors. Probably because I am not rich and willing to toss money around so that I can get actual health care (which is what it takes to get it in this country). It is the damned diabetes drugs that are making my weight get bad and I do not know what to do about it other than stop eating. But, thanks to all the damned drugs I have to take, I get dizzy and weak if I don't keep eating.

I will be blunt here. I did not expect to live this long. And, I am not a fan of it. It serves no purpose. I am not a masochist, nor do I enjoy suffering from anyone, mostly from myself.
