was the last time I went to a doctor. AGE related? I doubt that. Before that? Sinus infection maybe 15 years ago? I can count on one hand the number of times I HAD to go to a doctor.

Obesity? I weighed 100 lbs in my 20s and still do in my 60s. Only time I weighed more was when I was pregnant (127 lbs). Actually, they tell me I don't weigh ENOUGH. I am 5'1. What am I supposed to weigh???? If I have weighed this for 40 years, maybe it is what I am SUPPOSED to weigh? I am a hyper person. I cannot SIT for long periods (including a JOB that requires me to do so). Maybe it's not so much what you eat, but the "exercise" you get? Oh, just had a Big Mac, fries, and soda for lunch today! Last time? Maybe 4 months ago? When I get the urge, I go with it.

They can take all this and SHOVE IT, as far as I am concerned.
