ALT = 20 ( ! )
AST = 20 ( ! )

I got an email from him last Friday.  He's peddling Viagra and Levitra
these days.  Replied to his email and asked when he's going to start

I haven’t been around for a while.  I’ve been dealing with my mother’s
illness (stage 4 lung cancer), and my own health issues.  I’ve had a
