    Blood pressure readings.

    Oh yeah, stand up too fast and may find yourself on the floor. Had a co-worker call me to her office saying she was light headed and almost fell back when standing. Her BP was way way down. Talked for a minute and she told me she took a double dose of her blood pressure meds as she missed it...

    Blood pressure readings.

    Unless there is an emergency , blood pressure measurements should be looked at over time. It will vary all over the place during the day. The long term trend is what is important. If it varies within the range your doctor says is normal, you have no worries. An upward trend will keep you ahead...

    Can we have a Walmart thread?

    I wonder what urban and upscale suburban shoppers think when they stop in a tractor supply store for the first time. Do they need to take pictures of the person with mud caked muck boots, jeans that are faded and loose fitting and possible held up with suspenders. Then there is that beat up...

    Daily Chuckle

    And us old folks make fun of the younger generation's lack of math skills. Even my cheap Android phone got it right. More than once we had calculations on napkins between chicken wing stains. The world would have been a much better place if we stopped the beers and remembered all the great...

    What Government Mandates Save Lives?

    Flew 'backwards' on a DC3. Almost the worst flight of my life. Just felt wrong the entire time. As to backwards school bus seats. Great for little kids but for most older children the broken necks would be a real bitch.

    Gas Question

    My newer Kia(s) are quite clear to not use alcohol above 10%. I do not know if flex fuel would void the warranty but I would not test it. My mother in laws Buick has a green gas cap and indicates that it will use flex.

    Tractor out lasted the carhart

    Wife made me toss out the Carhart after decades of use and abuse. Oil and grease stained with rips on both sleeves. Those rips most likely save me from some nasty scars. Really thought the B would have crapped out first. Oh well. The new Carhart came with some sticker shock but a lot less...

    Need legal advice on how to sue Tractor Supply for "predatory advertising"

    Gee, a store bought mini bike. I wish I had a grandpa like you !!! Motor off a lawn mower and a best friend that was an engine guru at a young age. The boy is in for a lifetime of adventure. I am available for adoption as the bike on order will cost more than my car.
