> When I go, you people are the only ones who will remain constant in my life. Isn't that odd? Everything else will change, and I'll even know my brother in a different context, but you will all be still here on the Rinkworks pages.

The only ones? Not really. You get to know your brother in different contexts through your life, and the same goes for your friends, here and elsewhere. I'm always finding out new things about people here that surprise me or make me think differently about them. It's just that here, we always meet up in the same place. I guess that does give it a sense of constancy.

> There might be something very wrong with me. Every now and then, I get this weird pressure in the right side of my chest and it gets all tingly and sometimes it spreads down my arm and it's really weird. So I finally remembered to tell my parents (because it happened when they were around) and now I'm going to the doctor's on Monday and I'll probably get sent for special tests. It's kinda scary.

You're obviously going to be worrying about this until you get it checked out, but maybe it'll help to think that there *are* non-terrifying things it could be. You might have pinched a nerve, for example. There's a lot of nerves and veins and things up around your armpit, and if you ever gave your shoulder a bad knock or even dislocated it, that's a possibility. Or it could be an odd reaction to some medication you might have taken, or any amount of other things. Don't spend the whole weekend panicking, is all I'm trying to say. :-)

Let us know how you get on.
