Perspective
Photos…
So I saw photo of someone who checks-in regularly to a place I’m mayor of on foursquare. From the photo he uses he looks quite tall. In real life he’s short, barely above my belly button.

I could barely walk, laying down wasn’t working, I had to be in a bizarre yoga like stance while chugging water & applying IcyHot. (I had 1 cup of coconut water already). Currently as the primary muscle cramps are better, I’m going into spasms elsewhere....

latest anonymous message did make me smile. I do live well. I do enjoy the finer things in life & enjoy them as much as possible.
With regard to the pricing/cost of the previous post. I wouldn’t even consider eating at a place regularly where the cheapest main course was $37 (highest was $50). I’ll do it on a splurge, but in this case it was my cousin’s birthday.
