  • YYYYYYAAAAAGGGGGGG

    I woke up so angry this morning. I mean brow furrowed kick the cat (I never would) angry. Then I took my Boniva with water and had to wait an hour for my normally scheduled coffee. Everything on my body is stiff. Not sore, just stiff. I do not know what I was doing in…

  • Just an update

    Medical – After six months on the new blood pressure med and tweaking and twitching I went to the Dr and we switched to a different one. The new one is Losartan. So far it is perfect. On a very low dose my BP is low, my feet swelling is minimal and the red spots…

  • Technical Support

    Surprise! I am having a small problem with a device and had to do the online chat tech support. After all this time I know the drill. They open the chat window, usually while having a few others open at the same time, and step two (after greeting) is walking you through all the basic…

  • Give me Back my word!

    Elitism? I have been holding this in for a couple of years, yes you heard me, years, but I think enough time has passed that we can discuss it like grown-ups. It is one of those weird things that is forever stuck in my head and aggravates me. Now, I will take back that mental…

  • Air

    Why German Shepherds do not make good HVAC people My furnace was making noises. It took me awhile to realize it. I just kept following the sound eventually discovering that the blower in the furnace was running, albeit very softly. I thought this was strange, I do not remember it ever doing that before. I…
