So far tests have found only my bank account. <blinks>

I'm not surprised. I've seen my dad run down numerous medical rabbit holes that were as pointless as they were expensive. I've lived through what seems like dozens of health-related, allegedly medical-science-backed fads - sometimes reversals of previous fads (e.g. regarding eggs, salt, meat, carbs).

Not a whole lotta trust in this boy when medical theories come out to haunt.

And, of course, not adhering to the beliefs of others on such matters can be paramount to coming off as somewhere between careless and insane.

The main matter of focus these days is whether or not to become gainfully employed again. Being so-called "retired" just isn't working for me. I apparently need to be driven from without by someone acknowledging accomplishment with a paycheck. Decades of habit, I guess.

Well that's good to hear at least. As for employment, I understand the need to be somewhere else other than in the house for large periods of the day.

Even if it's my face under the heel of someone else's vision, being stomped on all the way -- still beats being at home and giving in to the stupors of comfort.
