E-MAIL: twistedhumorrulz at yahoo dot com Facebook dot com / dave callahan71 [no spaces, obviously] I have lived in Riverside, CA for the last 16 years [as of 2010] where I've worked as a private investigator and most recently, a real estate investor and currently I am in the process of getting my real estate license. I have suffered from end-stage renal failure [kidney failure] for the last 15 years and have been on dialysis for 14 of those years. I was diagnosed at 24 and on dialysis by age 25.
