My blood pressure has been the only thing that’s stayed consistently low. 118/65 last week at the docs office. Blood sugar has been a PITA getting corralled but I think I’m slowly getting it where it needs to be. I have to have it controlled by July if I want to go off insulin injections and I desperately do not want to stay on insulin.I need to get out walking myself - I'm on amlodipine for the BP

Thanks Spidey. Lots of changes, different lifestyle if I want to stay above ground...lol
Above ground always nicer!! Do some research on holistic and lowering blood sugar and talk with your doctor.
Herbs, Vit D, Magnesium, supplements. Make sure no interference with present meds. Doc knows best.
Funny you should mention that, doc did recommend big doses of vitamin D. Not used to being on any meds long term.Went 46 years without being on anything for any length of time..lol
There are many natural supplements that will help you. I tend to go holistic/ natural over pharma, Research and see hwat is a good fit between you and doc. More and more docs are realizing benefits of natural. And remember- always get the best vitamin , all natural . Not all VitD are same, as is with other vitamins.
Bruh I remember in 2010 when the new Scooby Doo series, Scooby Doo Mystery Inc, began to air on Cartoon Network. I’m a massive Scooby Doo fan, he’s my favorite cartoon character of all time and I’ve watched almost all the different adaptations of him regardless of how bad they can be sometimes, this dog raised me. The interesting thing about mystery inc, is that instead of having a entirely new plot every single episode, the show was going for a more over arching plot with returning characters and where actions in a previous episode could effect the outcome of later episodes.
Now, the weirdest part about this isn’t bad that somebody chose to make a Scooby doo series with an overarching plot, it’s that somebody chose to make a Scooby doo series with an overarching plot....
... that was actually incredibly well written, especially for a children’s show. Now, the series begins like most Scooby doo reboots, where each episode is a new mystery where people dress up like monsters to commit crimes and then they get found out and arrested and they call the Scooby gang meddling kids. But by the finale, which it surprisingly got to after running for 3 seasons, because a Scooby doo series with an overarching plot sounds like a throwaway idea that gets cancelled after the pilot, but by the end of the series, the plot literally became about stopping an ancient Lovecraftian being that the Nazi’s opened a portal to from causing the Armageddon. Yes, you read that right.... Lovecraftian... Nazis.... Armageddon... Scooby Doo. There’s literally an episode where Scooby doo and the gang infiltrate a Nazi base in order to learn about the cosmic being they are going to face. Remember, this show is aimed at children. And yes, of course the talking dog wins the battle against the great old one.
This series is rated 8/10 on IMDB, that’s a pretty good rating
But still, Scooby Doo fighting a demon summoned by the Nazis, what drugs were taken in order to come up with that?

Cinnamon is good for lowering BP. But check with your meds first.
Nothing’s more ironic than the fact that the decision to switch from paper to plastic products around 25 years ago ended up killing the world even faster than we could imagine. As someone from generation Z, I hate how many Baby Boomers refuse to give up the mindset that global warming won’t affect them within their lifetime, that’s such a selfish way to think that you don’t even care if your grandchildren’s generation has a future. Scientists predict that if we don’t take precautions to stop global warming now that society as we know it might collapse by the mid 2050’s when I’ll be in my early 50’s, an age a lot of users here are currently at right here. If I decide to have at least one child by the time I turn 30, they’ll only make it to their mid-20’s by the time the possible Armageddon happens. We spent so much time in the Cold War with the mindset Nuclear warfare might end the world, only to discover that it’s no more than the mere decision to use plastic products that’ll do it. As a fan of history, I’m glad so many people sent so much money to help repair the Norte Dame cathedral, but we really should’ve used that money to clean up the Great Barrier Reef instead, I’d we can’t even save our own environment, we won’t be able to care about the state of historical buildings in the next 40 years.
I am so tickle to find out Joe Hill is Stephen King son... I listen to Fireman...had no clue. It took listing to NOS4A2 for me to figure it out. Then I saw the picture son really looks like father.
So many view making jokes about dark subject matter to be taboo, when it in fact should be the opposite. All of history’s worst lived off the fear and power common people associated with their names, but if people kept making jokes about them, they never would’ve garnered all the power off that fear. I mean, do you think Adolf Hitler ever would’ve rose to power if people kept making fun of how stupid his mustache looks? Humor is how we stop terrible people like Hitler from rising to power again. We can only learn off the mistakes of history.

Apparently shipping liquor to Virginia is a very expensive and difficult thing to do. Plus, this way I get to keep my quest going.
It's a fun quest to have. Someday, when you least expect it, Sparkle Donkey will just be there.Apparently shipping liquor to Virginia is a very expensive and difficult thing to do. Plus, this way I get to keep my quest going.

Someone was going to get me some kind of booze of the month club subscription as a gift. Apparently they have them for wine, craft beers and spirits. I said I didn’t want it as I don’t want to get anything I wouldn’t be fond of. If I want to try something new I go into the state store, go to the spirits or wine section and look for a type that is almost picked out of either the top or middle shelf. I figure it must be pretty good as it seems to be moving off the shelf. Has worked for me so far.
Why I don't read Emily Giffin anymore:
1. Decline in the quality of her books.
2. She treats her fans like garbage.
3. The same qualities I mentioned pertaining to someone from Sex and the City.
4. Her husband actually goes after her fans on Amazon if they leave bad reviews. (Yikes!)
All of those points are 100% true. Not all authors are as diplomatic as Stephen King, especially when their books don't reach #1 on the NY Times List. Some authors are just very immature and neurotic.

Ask DJ, she always knows where to locate Sparkle Donkey, or "El Burro Esparkalo". It's her jam.My random thought of the day...

I just looked her up - not sure if she is an author or a model!
I guess that is what is known as 'Chick-Lit'
I did read a number of the Shopaholic books many years ago - those were fun! (By another author - Sophie Kinsella)
