"He sat down on a grassy bank and looked at the city that surrounded him, and thought, one day he would have to go home. And one day he would have to make a home to go back to."

If I feel up to posting the details, I'll probably put them in the comments, because they definitely fall into the TMI category (or as Mark would say, "Column B").
Firstly, bad news on your kidney stones. Unfortunate business, hope you recover soon.
Secondly, you don't know me, but I'm a new JET ALT, assigned to the Kagoshima Prefecture (Minamioosumi to be exact). While doing a search for "kagoshima jet" on Google, I came across your site. So far it seems like I'm the only JET from Chicago heading out to Kagoshima and you have been the only other connection to Kagoshima I have found so far. So I was curiuos... ummm, got any info to send my way? Are you in Kagoshima for JET or did Google find you on a flux?
I'd appreciate any info you could send my way. You can reach me at jonathan_thacker AT hotmail.com.
If it makes ya feel better, I got a kidney-shaped pool with a stone it . . . damn bro, sorry to hear about yer ailment; they say drinking lemonade prevents them stones from coming back.
I'd say "gambatte" but I don't feel like getting punched in da chops. Get better soon,
Yes, you CAN keep kidney stones as souvenirs. My best friend kept her dog's kidney stones after having them excised, and kept them on the mantelpiece as a reminder for why they couldn't feed the dog Chinese food anymore. They looked like spacey stone-shaped Cheezits, and apparently smelled really bad.
And I, like young Thacker here, found you by Googling "kagoshima jet." New JETs looking for old blood! One found me on Facebook...
ROB!! You bugger, what's happening with you?! Are you really still in Japan?! Have you been ignoring me...? Make me wanna cry!
And I just realized this post and these comments are all from ONE YEAR AGO... I'll find you, Rob!

Hey Rob,
If it makes ya feel better, I got a kidney-shaped pool with a stone it . . . damn bro, sorry to hear about yer ailment; they say drinking lemonade prevents them stones from coming back.

Sorry to hear about the stones man.
Take care and get well soon.
I heard you can sometimes keep kidney stones as souveniers. Is that true?
