and I'm OLD now. I gave up complaining a very long time ago, realizing other people had their own problems, some of which I wouldn't trade for my painful chronic diseases for all Cheney's money, like the problem of actually having to be Cheney. I'd hate to go through life that nasty and clueless.

In fact, I often wonder if I'm giving doctors too little information because so many things aren't worth complaining about these days.
