Some do, some don't. We get no breaks, once I find a shady spot on your street with a view of your front door I ain't moving till u do. ;)

Are you fat? I think a lot of PI's are because they sit around for ages and snack on junk food.

Lol no I am not fat, but it ain't easy keeping fit, I walk 2km as soon as I get home, whatever time that maybe, within reason. And I don't eat crap, I take my own food, chicken, whole wheat wraps, fruit, yogurt and lots of water.

Well GTN settling anything down sounds heart related but you should probably talk to your doctor about the reflux..

For assurance to the poor guy, GTN can also work for esophageal spasm, so still fits with the general opinion that you may have GERD 😀

I know this is off topic a little, but I heard that PI's often piss in a plastic bottle if they are caught short doing a stake out? Is that true?

Could that be why 'private eyes' are also known as 'dicks'?

I only read to p3 of this thread so apologies if I've duplicated.
It's very common to be an absolutely convinced you have something physical going on when the main issue is actually anxiety/depression (and you don't believe it or doubt it).

I think you'd be surprised how many of us can relate to things you're experiencing. Most of us probably at one time or another or maybe even now.

Doesn't have to be fancy, 15 or 20 gallon freshwater is easy peasy to keep, just do a 10% water change every week or so, and some basic upkeep, might take 5-10 minutes a week to maintain.

Or hire someone for the maintenance and then just enjoy watching them....

We now have a small fish pond and it's hard to believe how soothing it is just to sit by it and watch the fish.
Well have to bring them in for the winter so I'm reassured about how little work it will be.

Do you ever get found out Magnum? People noticing you are watching them? Who typically employs you, insurance companies? Are there many PI's around, apart from the movies of course?
