In some arenas (electronics for one) I usually got quite
a bit less than I could afford; that's not so true now
mostly because I can afford less.

That's an okay way of getting stuff, but batteries don't
generally last all that long, and second-hand ones are to
be looked at with suspicion.

It sounds like you're more like "post-diabetic," which is a
good condition to be in just so long as you're still alive
and kicking.

 ML> Good plan. Finding one who isn't a puffed-up brat is
 ML> pretty difficult.
 RH> Just have to know where to look. Ask friends for references, make an
 RH> appointment saying you're "looking for a new doctor, here's what I
 RH> want" type and see what kind of reception you get.

Around here, it's more like, I'd like a doctor, well, okay,
here's one who has an appointment in six months, take it or
leave it.

 RH> Need a bomb set off in that place?

Don't tempt me.
