Can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease find some where else to do your mud slinging, you are both cluttering up the blogs and forcing people to scan through pages and pages of blogs to find stuff that is still recently posted. If I am alone in my opinion oh well but if I'm not then please people and fellow bloggers let your printed voices be heard and post a comment, that is if you happen to find this blog before it hits page 7 or 8

I have a stress test today at 10 am this morning. I have been looking forward to this for about 2 1/2 weeks now, really I have. I am a type 2 diabetic (with minor nothing to worry about according to the Docotor) congestive heart failure (enlarging of the heart). I am out of shape and overweight and today I get to spend 30 minutes in the Devils realm on a threadmill to tell me this. After the test my doctor will look at the results and tell me this as well. He will also tell me to start exercising and to lose weight........... duh? To top it off my boss has to go and tell me that these test have been known to trigger heart attacks, that was something I really wanted to know ahead of time. I will be back later (I hope) to let you all know how it went. Wish me luck.
