The blood pressure medicine is working

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120124) • United States 23 Jun

somewhat anyway. When I was at the cardiologist last week it was 134/92. Not ideal but not as crazy high as it had been getting. I expected the nurse practitioner to increase the dosage of the med but she said she was okay with it...

Mary McKinney What medicine are you on? I take metoprolol and it has helped significantly. It's still a bit high, but it's a normal high. I'll definitely take that over what it had been. I only take 1 pill at night though, and something that I've done that seems to...

Congress is considering requiring women to register for the draft

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120124) • United States 23 Jun

For real. The proposed policy is included in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. That legislation was cleared by a Senate committee which is currently controlled by the GOP. Some moderates like Mitch McConnell, Susan...

Mary McKinney I don't think it will pass, but I also feel like, if they're going to draft men, women should be drafted too.

OMG she is taking Whiskey to the beach

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120124) • United States 23 Jun

It is already 88 degrees F out there and the high for today is 91. Whiskey is a 2 year old French Bulldog. Bulldogs are notorious for being extremely sensitive to even moderate heat let alone extreme heat. She gets mad at me when...

Mary McKinney I'm ready for the entire summer to be over! Me and the heat don't get along and I whine all summer, "It's too hot." The only pleasant thing about the summer is there's no mud and my joints don't hurt as bad. But I still don't enjoy it. Give me fall and...

Mary McKinney Back when we gardened (our ages have kinda made it harder to do) my husband had this huge tiller. I tried to use it once and that thing slung me around like a rag doll! Glad you got your tiller, but sorry it ended up costing so much.

Another wonderful actor dies.

marguicha @marguicha (223776) • Chile 21 Jun

Donald Sutherland died yesterday. He was a wonderful actor and I watched him first many, many years ago in one of the best war movies I´ve seen: The Dirty Dozen. He was 88 and had been ill for a long time. RIP.

It's time to get rid of some things- I'm done

Gayle Harrelson @2ndchances24 (9290) • Cloverdale, Indiana 21 May

Well I've ponder on it long enough & the time has come to get rid of some things I've held on to LONG enough, like my 3-55 gal fish tanks I've had on the front porch for long enough, I've got a 3X5 metal shed I want to get put...

Mary McKinney My husband does that. He gets things he really doesn't need and then keeps it, not using it and then years later he gets rid of it. It can get a little annoying. Good luck with your building and your fish tank.

May Day @HaruLoid (1588) • Philippines 20 May

Mary McKinney I also read a lot. I go through probably 10-15 books a month, which is good, but it also makes it hard to find a book I haven't yet read.
