Am I missing something? I don't understand what the point is. Does this come under the heading of "Medical and Health Discussion"? Wouldn't this thread be better suited to the "Non Villages Discussion" board?
Is there an overall point or is it just "rambling and reminiscing"? Is this a thread in search of a purpose?
