Hi everyone,

I see things are broken here...I will fix them. I'm not sure why things are duplicating.

Yesterday morning, I was taken by ambulance to the ER with a BP reading of 200/110. I'm okay and back home now.

Anyhow, I'll fix all of those issues with my BBS tonight (it's 2:40 AM and I need to be at the VA by noon for an audiology appointment).

I must have missed something. You are well aware that when I spot real
or perceived trouble I'm all over your e-mail.

Well, what may have happened is that Squish caught thr dupes and...squished them. I'm not sure; I'll check later.

Yikes!!! Have they been feeding you prednisone? Whenever they slip that
to me the BP and blood sugar reading head for realms that Buck Rogers
was trying to reach. Thae care, dude. We don't want a blow oout.

No, it just happens from time to time plus I was not taking a daytime
BP med (I am now). I had a phone appointment with my doc yesterday,

I used to ignore my high blood pressure ... to the point that my kidneys
shut down and were permanently damaged. So, besides my daily BP med I'm
taking a pee pill.

Tomorrowe, I have to be at a local hospital for my gastric emptying
test and that looks like it's going to be a very boring four hours.

Bring your Kindle (or an actual book). It helps pass the time. Advice

Didn't have any "Riders of the Purple Sage" recipes in stock. So
I'm doing my "Burton" with a Purple Carrot (a meal delivery service)

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Riders of The Purple Carrot Buddha Bowl
Categories: Vegan, Grains, Greens, Herbs, Sauces
Yield: 2 servings

1 1/2 c quinoa
3 c + 6 tb water; divided use
2 c Shredded red cabbage
3 c Curly kale
15 oz Can black beans
4 tb Sauerkraut
3 tb Tahini
1 tb Ginger; minced
1 ts rice wine vinegar
2 tb Sesame seeds

Rinse and dry the produce. Remove stems from the kale
and slice into ½ inch ribbons. Peel and mince the
ginger. Rinse and drain the black beans and set aside.

Pour quinoa and 3 cups water into a small pot. Bring to
a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer until quinoa
grains are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, saute the cabbage with 2 tablespoons water in
a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally
and cook until cabbage is softened and bright purple,
about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped kale to the pan, cover and reduce heat
to low. Allow kale to cook until slightly wilted and
bright green, about 5 minutes.

While vegetables are steaming and quinoa is cooking,
make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the
tahini, minced ginger, rice wine vinegar and remaining 4
tablespoons of water until you have a smooth and creamy
consistency.

To serve, assemble each bowl with quinoa, cabbage, kale,
black beans and sauerkraut. Top with ginger-tahini
dressing and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

I used to ignore my high blood pressure ... to the point that my
kidneys shut down and were permanently damaged. So, besides my daily BP med I'm taking a pee pill.

I discovered that I missed a dose of Coreg (carvedilol), a beta blocker tht really slows down my heart and helps keep things under control.

I invested in a set of dispenser racks. They're plastic and have AM and P< compartments. When it's dope time I flip up the cover of the appropriate
bin and tip the contents into a plastic "souffle' cup" (restaurant lingo
for a shot glass sized little cup than some restaurants use to hold single servings of grated cheese, herbs, etc. There is also a dispenser rack with comaprtments for noot-time dope runs. But, since I'm on (finally) just AM
and PM scheduling ....

I'm here now. Just ate my radioactive eggs, had my initial picture,
and am waiting until the top of the hour to get my second picture.

I've been looking for an outlet to plug my laptop charger in but no

I did but I foud a better place: a nice table across from the Starbucks in the main atrium. Saved my bacon from sheer boredom. The results: no gastroparesis. Now the VA has to find something else for my gut issues to blame than their own sheerincompetence.

We're againg out and falling off our twigs. I've been trying to get

We are, sadly. One of the bad things about aging. I hope Michael, Dale, and Burt are sitting around a cracker barrel in Heaven catching up with each other.

There is a 90s band I like called Toad The Wet Sprocket. No idea what the name means.

They're MDs, right? I realise thay can't all be Hawkeye and/or BJ but
they do have to have passed all their exams and boards and climbed a
very steep hill to become doctors. Maybe it's all the bureausrapic paper
wotk confusing the issue(s).

Hello, Dave!

Replying to a message of Dave Drum to Sean Dennis:

Then they're not really doctors. They're bureaucraps w/degree. The Hippocratic states "First Do No Harm". Apparently they to the
antethesis or Hypocritical Oath.

Unfortunately so. I don't know how anyone would work at a place thake that as a medical doctor, to be honest. The VA needs to be scrapped and be rebuilt by people with a heart not a warped desire for power.

You need to get hold of my Senator - Tammy Duckworth. She's a
(disabled) veteran and a strong advocate for veteran;s causes,

I may; I have contacted my Senator and Congresswoman also.

Long time since I last saw Linda's name pop up in here. She pre-dated even me.

I wonder where some of these people are now.
