Right there is the problem. You've got the best care in the world and you want more. Seessh
I love scallions but hate onions.
Go figure.
Go figure.
There's nothing stupid about me, it's everyone else that sucks.

Ahhhh.. you must be a CPAP machine user as well!
failing to open my mouth when I should, and speaking when I should remain quiet. I'll never learn
Here is a thing that bugs my wife about me. I tend to buy new things, then avoid using the new thing so it doesn't wear out.
Years ago I bought a new pair of leather Adidas, I forget the name, the black ones with the 3 white stripes...very popular classic Adidas.
After about a decade she asked if she could give them to her friends 17 year old son. I never wore them once, I didnt want them to wear out.
Eight years ago I bought a Husqvarna 460 chainsaw. Ive used it maybe 4x. I keep nursing my Sthil Farm Boss and 360 through another year. The Husqvarna is better in every way. But I dont want it to wear out.
I buy new pocket knives and hunting knives all the time. Although I carry a pocket folder daily, I also have carried an Esee Izula for the last 15 years, and its the knife I use 99.9% of the time.
I have more never used "things" than anyone I know.

I hate going places but I want to be invited.
I have a B.A. in English literature in a time where AI summarizes books in seconds. moreover, it even gives politicly correct ways to interpret the book. My career choice was essentially taken by robots. Worst part is my Alma mater, didn't even touch classic literature. Majority of my studies were on online articles, and delt with subjects like reparations, gender, and colonization. The fact that i continued and got the B.A is something stupid I notice about myself every hour of everyday.
I have a buddy I was in the service with. He got a degree in data mining and census taking... 6 months before it was all computerized.
It behooves all young people today to explore whether their career interests are at risk of disappearing before committing resources to it.
As to the OP, I have an infuriating quirk where any place I walk, if I am wearing anything other than boots, I get stones, leaves, etc in my dang shoe.
Also, in reference to my own advice, I should have put my finger on the pulse of educational behavior trends before getting my Masters and wading into the morass of public education.
I am considering going back to get a master's in the subject just to travel to another country and teach English there. However, I fear that i won't be able to get pipes or pipe tobacco in places like Japan, Taiwan, and the UAE. I was also considering becoming a plumber and working in a different state, NYC's prospects are drying up as i type.
