I just wrote a longish reply to the above message that begins, "I was too emotional..." then went to IMDB and the message just disappeared. I'm sure that has happened to you. Darn. Anyway it was about a Christian Bale movie where he's clean, having just come back from Iraq, but parties with an old friend for a few days, and then is offered a job with DHS, (the people who search Americans at airports) and is asked to come in for the blood/pee test. He panics and tries all kinds of things to clean up for the test, and I don't remember the rest. He's been in so many movies I couldn't find THAT one. Did you know Bale was the kid in Speilberg's Empire of the Sun?

Those Americans can be a bad influence. :) I really am sorry about what happened and I hope your luck changes.

I remember the character in Breaking Bad. Once in awhile she shoplifted, right? But not you, I'm sure.

I'm similar to you in that I spend a lot of time at home. Don't be shocked, but I'm retired. Yes, my secret. Why go out when I have everything right here. But twice a year I go to a different country, usually in Asia for at least a month to relax and do things that would make me fail those tests.

Now over to your next message.
