Crazy Craigslister

So, I put some stuff on craigslist.com.  I sold a chair in about an hour. But in that hour I had some crazy people email me. One wanted to know "on a scale of 1-10 how squeaky it was". Another wanted to know if I would hold it for a week. There is no layaway plan for craigslist. My favorite is this guy........

He starts with this:

Hello:  

Would it be possible, if you could answer all of the following questions, regarding the value, and history of this item?

1.  How old is this chair?

2.  What did you pay for it, brand new?  Where did you buy it?

3.  What is the overall condition of the glider...anything cracked, torn in upholstery, etc.

4.  Why are you selling it?

5.  Would you reconsider accepting a lower offer?

6.  How would you rate it, on the "comfort level" and operation level?

I replied:

I am not sure on the age or cost.  It is in good shape.  We used it for rocking our children and they are too big to be rocked now.  I find it to be very comfortable, but that is subjective.  We recovered it a few years back.  

He then replied:

Thank you for answering some of my questions.  But, there were a couple that were not.  

1.  Would you reconsider accepting a lower offer for this glider?

2.  Approximately how old is it?

President Song

Oh if I were president, I'd make you understandNo more questions no more lies,I will tell you the truth looking in your eyesIf I were president.

Well first and for most son Jesus Christ is the only one,You’re going to talk to when your day begins.I'm going to pass a law that says everyday you got to get down on your knees and pray, Thank the man for dying for you sins.

Chorus:If I were president, I would make you understand Jesus is the man he's the reason that we stand, if I were president

We're gonna put the word out on the streets no more Washington, DC,I'm gonna make this country big and strong.No more paying of your taxes

The capital is Pampa, Texas, that's the only place a house that big belongs.

Chorus:If I were president, the blue-collar man won't get the shaft.

Nobody's gonna laugh when Jerry Jeff is my chief of staff,If I were president.

Well, Iraqi boys you must be nuts,You’re digging yourself deeper in a rut.I got a way to end your problems soon.We'll bring home every one of our boys And pull out our biggest badest toy And blow you crazy !@$%@^%$ to the moon.

Chorus:If I were president, nobody's going to push us around.If they threaten us or put us down we'll burn there county to the ground.If I were president.

Well, I got one for you Sadaam HusseinWe’ll resurrect General John Wayne,Put together a very simple plan.We’ll put down our nukes put down our guns And you and the duke will be one on one And he'll kick your a$$ as if you were a man.

Chorus:If I were president,If I were president.If you don't like Willie Nelson, you got to go to prison.If I were president.So cash your vote and make it meAnd if I win the beer is free if I were president

How did this happen?

I am looking for any and all medical opinions. Even from the mystery political commentator on Hillenblog.

I woke up Tuesday morning and could hardly walk on my right foot. There is a shooting pain in and below the bone in my arch and it is radiating up the back of my calf. I can put some weight on it ( probably more weight if my weight loss plan had worked), I can't stand on it alone, walking is extremely painful and Jackson says that I go up the stairs like a baby. There is a little swelling and the area is red.

Here is my weekend.

Saturday- Hiked 7 miles and went caving. Felt fine
Sunday- Church and played water volleyball. Felt fin
Monday- Played washers and ate. Felt fine
Tuesday- Woke up and felt like someone ran over my foot.
Wednesday- Same as Tuesday

What do you think?

If it still hurts on Thursday I am going to the doctor. So whoever guesses the correct diagnosis will get a prize.
