You're neither a wanker or a loser as far as I can tell. I used Audi as an example. But you know the type of guy I mean. Whether it's an Audi, a beamer or a hotted up commodore, the intent is often there to be noticed and admired.<br /><br />And I have to say I'm not a virgin. I've been with prostitutes. Let me explain. I've driven other people's prestige cars. I drove a BMW X5 which cost the owner $110,000. I have also had reason to drive a Ford Territory which cost $35,000. The difference? $75,000.Lewd Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02482085817373911266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-40548848568930297652009-05-19T07:48:00.000+10:002009-05-19T07:48:00.000+10:00You can focus too much on this stuff - if you feel...You can focus too much on this stuff - if you feel ok you probably are ok. Doctors are happy to put you on a merry-go-round of tests and appointments if you can pay for it and can't think of anything better to do with your time. The single best thing you can do for your health is to stop smoking. Do that first. <br /><br />A lady I know in her 60's has had eye problems (not sure exactly what) but the doctor blamed the degeneration of her eyes on too many years not wearing sunglasses. So I resolved to wear them - bought three pairs of $2 sunnies (as I know I always lose them and refuse to invest more than that). Jack broke first pair in week 1. The other two pairs I can locate half the time. Its only been a month so I expect they'll be long gone by Spring.patchouligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462983717621525841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-48916610116627340852009-05-18T22:12:00.000+10:002009-05-18T22:12:00.000+10:00Yep, get another Doctor, Alex.
I hadn't been for ...Yep, get another Doctor, Alex.<br /><br />I hadn't been for about ten years as well, probably more, but the cancer thing made me panic about what other ailments I may have had. Go to a Doctor that you have to make an appointment for, you know, a real one, a family doctor, and then demand they test you for everything. I did exaggerate for effect though, and complained of lethargy, restlessness, heart pain, chest pain, said I took lots of drugs and drank too much, smoked all day (that bit was true), had the cancer concern, unprotected sex concerns and a few other things. They sent me to pathology and took a few samples, I ran on machines with things wired to me as well. <br /><br />I had a Vitamin D deficiency.Perseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292281862441986618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-45660552876275873602009-05-18T22:10:00.000+10:002009-05-18T22:10:00.000+10:00You're not asking for CT and MRI scans are you?No....<I>You're not asking for CT and MRI scans are you?</I><BR><BR>No. I've never had any sort of general health check before and don't know what they entail.

They're talking about how men should be looking after their health more, I'd say your doctor is being slack, and to fob you off like that is not good.<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with requesting a complete physical health check once a year or two over a certain age. Not sure where you live, but a friend's husband paid $1K out of his pocket to have a really really thorough check up at the Epworth. Heart scans etc, not sure about other scans. To me that's a little extreme, but that's the sort of thing that's available.<br /><br />There's a line between being ridiculous and cautious. I would say that your request is reasonable. What incredible resources are being used up in running a few blood tests and other standard health-check tests?

I was able to sell them on after 3 years for a loss of $3k and $4k on sale price respectively. Also, I have always stuck to the thought that a used car was someone else's problem, or they wouldn't have wanted to sell it, and I don't need to buy something that's already a problem.<br /><br />The sales process is a pain in the arse though. With my last car, it took half a day to buy the damn thing, even though I'd requested to have the papers drawn up before I got there. It was tedious. And I don't drink coffee, so they were getting increasingly desperate every time I said I didn't want one. It was very odd.<br /><br />Re E-Bird, yay! I'm very happy you've got a second date!
