I Ching...

the changer and the changed...

so I got my direct mailer glossy brochure telling me to show up at Girl's Inc in Carp for a Life Line health screening....I remember when they used to send the fliers in newspapers, a single pink sheet with the rates and info, and now that they've made so much money, they can afford the direct mail route! basically, LifeLine has a medical van, not unlike the bookmobile, and not unlike a traveling medicine show, and they run a battery of tests on you to see how long you have to live..

but this company gives me the creeps and I wouldn't seek their medical advice even if my arteries were clogged as a Santa Babara sewer pipe!

well, wait just a minute, I read on a bit and maybe I will go to a screening....
Terri Burdette, who wrote the letter and who a has a bunch of caps after her name like BS, RDMS and RVT informs me that the procedure will last an hour, be non-invasive and "socks and shoes are the only clothes which are removed"... removing clothes?? hmmmm..

well, I once visited a Chinese masseuse and she said the exact same thing to me... next thing I knew I was naked EXCEPT FOR MY SHOES AND SOCKS and she was walking on my back, pouring oil all over me and slapping me silly for an hour!

after that the next thing I knew I was speaking, actually screaming Chinese exaltations....ohhhahhhyahhhhchinggchongkungfoo!!! and she said I was healthy as a bull in China store...
ok... so I will go to Girl's Inc and pay $149 for a "screening"...but it better be good Terri because them Chinese girls are a lot cheaper.... and cleaner than you American gals, too!!
