Rant over.
There is currently no affordable healthcare insurance for me personally, imo.
Not HMO, Not PPO.

Send, my blood pressure is the other end of the spectrum. Too low. I checked it two days ago and it was 97 over 76. Maybe that's not too low but lower. Could explain why I feel faint and dizzy quite often.

I pay $524.00 per month for my health insurance. High quality, pays everything, but still expensive.

Thinking of discontinuing the daily baby aspirin that the Viking has been taking for over 2 years now

she keeps saying she's vomiting which she's not and doesn't want to eat

I have way too much on my mind and none of it is pleasant. I had to start hemodialysis last Tuesday. I went thru all the classes and orientation. Even though they tell you that you will be tired that doesn’t begin to describe.

Call the cops and tell them you fear your stalker sent you a package containing drugs or explosives.

Tacy, what DIL said. Don't waste time. Call the cops, suspicious package. I am surprised you haven't already.

So sorry, Tacy. He is a mental case! You don’t need him torturing you.

Has your mom handled the package? Is it safe?

madge - sorry to hear about the Viking's troubles. I think it is a good idea to try her without the aspirin. It can be very hard on the stomach. Life for the aged is often tough.

Do people dance any more? I was thinking about all the dances I went to in my salad days, how there was always an open wedding reception or a service group having a fundraiser or even the dance floor at the local bar and what fun it all was to get tipsy (all right, pissed to the gills) and dance all night. Back in mom's day there were the big dance halls with big band music that people travelled for miles to attend. What happened, where did it all go?

I was talking to a young person on this very subject only yesterday evening, CW. She was chatting about her contemporaries who all complain about the lack of things for young people to do round here; and all there is is a few bars, so they get drunk, then people criticise them for it. I pointed out that in bigger cities where there are clubs and dance venues, they dance and get drunk, and it's very expensive, and there are more drugs around, and so it's not really better is it?

As far as I can see, the difficulty is more about what young people would like to do with their leisure time other than getting drunk. Actually, there is LOADS for young people to do; it's just that when you think of examples you know you're going to sound like someone's Great Aunt Hilda if you suggest them.

Line dancing got big again ten years or so ago, didn't it? - do you think these things just go in cycles?

Scr3w the young people, I'm the one who wants to go dancing! If we're supposed to go out and get some exercise why can't it be fun? (and no, dancercise at the gym does NOT count)
I suppose people still dance at weddings, but nobody invites the general public to the party any more the way they did when I was young - in those days it was almost a competition to see how many people you could attract to your reception (with a cash bar it was a good money maker too).

Have you tried googling it? I know I see flyers posted around where I live for ballroom and salsa groups (I think "oo how interesting" and then never do a thing about it), I wouldn't be surprised if there were secret societies around you that indulge :)

I have seen news pieces on Tango competitions. Being in a rural area is tough for things like that.

So we're turning the clock back and gaining an hour of sleep tonight. When you routinely wake up at 4:30 that is not a positive thing.

I have the same problem, CW. This time change is very hard on me. It takes weeks to adjust my internal clock.

I wish the time would stay the same year round. I don’t like It going back and forth.

The Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S. Code Section 260a) [see law], signed into Public Law 89-387 on April 12, 1966, by President Lyndon Johnson, created Daylight Saving Time to begin on the last Sunday of April and to end on the last Sunday of October.

Over the years I have heard that it is the fault of Ben Franklin, but I thought I remembered when the clock adjustment started. Finally looked it up and always relieved to find out I am not imagining remembering things that have happened during my lifetime.

Yes, Glad.
Spring forward, Fall backwards.

RE: B/P education...
A diagnosis of hypertension or just incorrectly taken and recorded readings in one's medical record can cause one to be denied life insurance (or be assigned to an expensive high risk policy).
Same problem with health insurance...having a "pre-existing" condition can raise your rates, or cause you to be denied.
