Bless your Missus for her help, but I still think that's too steep - or is it me being too stingy? <BR/><BR/>As for the docs, well,I have the selfish and un-altruistic opinion that they can charge what they like - if it's too high, they won't have a practice! Remember, healthcare is (suposedly) free in SL, and the patient chooses to come to the private sector (in most cases). And it's usually the doctors second job... seeesh!<BR/><BR/>I don't think a dietician is a doctor... they're specialists in diet and nutrition, a rare breed in SL, and therefore charge as much as the market will bear. :) Afterall, it may take some time to sort out a person's diet, convince them not to eat cake and what not... you are paying for his/her time, experience and expertise.<BR/><BR/>Chuls : thanks, glad you like! I like your hairdresser - but am too scared to ask how much he charges!Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850889220469520367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794446112633966865.post-33853463168342720822008-07-02T06:09:00.000-07:002008-07-02T06:09:00.000-07:00Been there know it but you put it across beautiful...Been there know it but you put it across beautifully.

(Anyways i've gotten out of the clubbing, scene so it rarely matters now). So thankfully for men, we don't need a consultant to put a suit on for us, nor do we have to bust soo much for a haircut. I still have my regular barber shop that does a decent job for 60 bucks. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm told (by the missus) that you can get it done cheaper, like 600 bucks for each item on your list. <BR/><BR/>While there are the few good docs, some of them charge exorbitant amounts. Like a Dietitian who charges 950 bucks. Just that you never complain and Doc's Appointments are higher up in the priority list that Hair-cuts. So while you can put off a hair-cut for several months, you cant do the same.<BR/><BR/>Good luck..:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794446112633966865.post-2454128915441562622008-06-29T07:40:00.000-07:002008-06-29T07:40:00.000-07:00Jack Point : I feel for you... and thanks!Dili : I...Jack Point : I feel for you... and thanks!<BR/><BR/>Dili : I like your Mum already..!
