Stupid medical studies →[More:]I tried to sign up for a "medical study" through the University of Kansas. No medication, just walking for an hour a day for a month, and at the end you get $2000.00. That's right, two thousand dollars. For walking.

They called me a little while ago, and I got all excited because they'd actually called me.

They'd called to tell me that their age cutoff was 30. I turned 31 a week ago. Is it just all downhill from here, or what?

"Is it just all downhill from here, or what?"

Sure is. It's all over. The best is past. Life will just suck more and more each year.

Or not ;)

Nope. A lot of it is uphill. And they won't even pay you for the trip!

(Sorry, buddy. It would have been a sweet, sweet deal.)

That's the worst thing I've heard all day. Dag.

Fuck.

I can no longer donate eggs. Not like I would, but still...

Heh, after 41, even downhill feels like going uphill. Make the most of your next ten years.

I'm still considering donating eggs. I'm worried the hormones will make me insane.
