I've always wondered about people who complained about being forced to
transfer out there.  Outside of high prices on some imported commodities,
what's the problem.  Fresh tropical fruit from a tree in the back yard? 
Geckos in the rafters?

...and still make like a lazy slob until it lets up?  This sounds like a
good time to be a guinea pig at a theraputic massage school.

They aren't cheap.  A decent mattress topper might be an alternative; you
can get a good one for a few hundred instead of a few thousand.  Try that
first and if you like it you can always go all in later.  Overstock and
Smartbargains both carry them.

I do drink occasionally, just very moderately.  I actually like beer; I
just rarely drink it.  I sometimes like wine, and would have no problem
trying out single malts.  Armagnac is wonderful stuff, as is buffalo grass
vodka.  The latter I can find because there's a good-sized Russian
population here and has been since the Soviet Union started letting Jews
leave.
  
-> -> Sounds like a good mix then.  If your back's acting up, beer time!

-> More likely to be a shot of scotch instead of a beer though!

Good enough.  Have one for me while you're at it.
