    you are remembering correctly. I am the one with the faulty memory. I can remember what went on 60 years ago, but have to try hard to remember if I took my meds.

    I have no trouble remembering stuff, the meds are going to be my downfall. I can't seem to get used to them. My bp seems to be well under control, just can't get used to the meds. A little less snake might be good. Now my brother who has bp like you do Larry drives his doc nuts. Doc is wondering how come he is still standing and getting around.

    I tolerate them but not easily. I'll start off feeling ok, have breakfast then take my med knowing full well that in an hour I am going to feel like I should be headed back to bed. The meds are a real downer. Nearly had a disaster with them when my potassium dropped to a critical low. I had an "impending doom" feeling. That is when I got my fat butt to the ER and asked to have my electrolytes checked. Had some questionable EKG changes. I know have some KCL should I have more symptoms. I went for a bariatric consult. Initial impression from the doctor was that I am too old and have complicating risk factors. :(. I sort of knew that but it was worth exploring.

    The Generac's start once a week. Once a month is ok for a portable one.

    Not really my I7-3770 system made it coast to coast in less than 48 hours. And my P4E did it overnight. But we are talking pre-USPS *zon.

    Amen.

    I used one of my 3/mo. FML days today. I got a bunch of things done by noon before the heat really hit then relaxed all afternoon. I've been cooling myself down from the inside out for a while now.

    Ballots go to Disgusta for rounds 2-whatever counting today. Time for Adam and Janet to get their underpants in a knot or wet.

    I don't think the founders had this in mind. Wait till they find out out this can go wrong. It will wind up in the courts where no elections should happen.
