I got tired of being a tiger. I decided to put a face to my name. It was at the end of dialysis and just about to go "cross eyed" from low BP., and I decided that I was thinking that my avatar was silly. I am perfectly confident with my own picture. When I go to dialysis, they treat me like a Rock Star. (at least I think) They have me sitting at the very first chair (closest to the nurses station) Every day all the caregivers stop and talk to me. Sometimes 2 or 3 hang around for a minute or two and we talk and laugh. No matter how I feel, when asked How's it goin'? I say "Not horrible" I always bring my own water so I don't have to ask the care givers to bring me some. That way I don't get a resentment if they forget or make me wait. I am not a tiger. My name is James, Hurlock is my middle name. :bandance; I figure that if I hold a resentment, it's just like taking poison and exspecting the other guy to get sick or die. There I am fuming, angry, and the other guy is just sitting around perfectly happy knowing that I'm angry or not, doesn't matter. So, I'm Not a tiger, I'm me.

Hi James good to 'meet' you. You remind me of someone but I can't put a name to him, it probably is a rock star. Glad you have decided to be you, life feels better that way.

I was thinking maybe Jerry Garcia? It's always nice to see the real people behind the posts. How's your weight loss plan going? You wrote me once asking for tips.
