OT: May Chit Chat

[Howie]

My worst was 216/138. My best was 169/110. And that's on 2 BP meds. I stopped a third med in about 3 days because of bad side effects. Let the clucking begin!

I'm not implying that you should give up any of your BP meds! I am suggesting that you change your diet and lifestyle.

Cluck! Cluck!

Love & Light,

It has been observed that ALL people who have cancer have drunk water. Does water cause cancer?

ANN

It depends upon where you live. Flint, Michigan. Love Canal (Niagara Falls). India. Nigeria.

I was a reference librarian in my youth. So, I truly hope this theory isn't correct.

Where did you find all of those clucking hens?!

Howie ~

You're very welcome. I hope that you will implement the suggestions in the link. I'm sure you will benefit. I did. Just try to create a regular bed time and rising time, and no more all nighters. Sleep is also quite important to maintaining a good blood pressure. I don't have that option, but you do!

Sending healing prayers and will be thinking of you during surgery on Thursday.

Howie, I was one of those hens Ann posted!

Now about Uber. I am glad this conversation was started because I have also wanted to know about them. Since my cell phone is a flip phone (which I love) can I still use Uber. I probably could not track them on it, but could I call them? Is there a way I could put an app on a flip phone so they would have my credit card number?

I have spent much time in libraries, so therefore I think we have solved the problem of cancer. Now if we can all collect our money for this discovery, we could put it to use by finding a cure for MS.

Hello Virginia!

[Virginia]

Looks just like me!!

[Howie]

You're a good lookin' chick!

Agate, I was a library aide in 5th and 6th grade; treasurer of the Library Club (not a varsity sport) in high school; and opened and guarded the nursing school library one semester. Am I doomed? I also drink water.

Virginia, I think you need a smart phone. It is cheaper to get a smart phone and use Uber than for a family to get a second car w its upkeep. If there comes a time when you can't drive or don't want to, it is a good option, depending on where you live.

I've heard mostly good things about Uber.

[agate]

Peg, your surgery is Tuesday? Will you be admitted tomorrow? I hope they can patch you up as good as new.

What a day! I went out to work on the pink car, and just grabbed the biggest ring of keys in the desk, and locked the lock to the front door. I tried all the keys on the garage, and none worked, so I was going to come back in here, and get some more keys.

Guess what, I didn't bring the keys to the house with me. My cell phone was inside, my car keys and house keys were in here, along with the garage keys.
I just sat on the front stoop, and cussed myself for being so dumb.

So I went next door even though his car was gone, and his wife was home, so she called a locksmith for me. 45 minutes later, the locksmith came, but couldn't get in without tearing the lock to pieces, so I ended up paying him for his time, and for a new lock.

I did get in the garage finally, just checked the battery charger, and it was hooked up, and the battery fully charged. I locked everything back up, and am worn out from doing nothing but waiting all day.

I'll try again after my doctor visit is done and this blood pressure is down. I hope you all have had a good day, or at least better than mine!

[agate]

You've had a day and a half, Howie.

This mother hen's solution to this kind of problem (please don't call Colonel Sanders on me):

--Hide an extra key somewhere, a place where nobody but you would think to look. Under a doormat is a very bad idea, for instance.

--Leave an extra key with some neighbor you trust if there is one, preferably someone who tends to be at home.


--And don't call those chicken pot pie people either, please.
