@ShiroKuro said in Blood pressure cuffs: we're not the professionals here, so there may be things we don't know to advocate for, or don't know how to. I have never let this stop me and offer my medical insights and opinions to my doctor on a semi-regular basis. Fortunately he takes it in stride and manages to find ways to help me correct any erroneous ideas I might have, and to nudge me in the right direction. If I persist, he lets it drop without making a big deal about it. He's a really, really good doctor. Stays on top of things and is always looking out for the best interests of his patients. I think he's a rarity and I'm lucky to have him as my PCP.

Ugh, that is so depressing.

Yea, my Android phone suggests emojis for my texts all the time. And if I send a text with a question ("Do you want to go for a walk?") and the recipient doesn't answer, the next day it asks me if I want to follow up because I haven't gotten a response. Thanks Google, I don't want or need the help. There's probably a way to turn it off but I haven't chased that down yet...

We had one of those rock hard gel packs too. They’re unusable. I’m pretty sure that one was from Walmart too. We switched to Ace bandage brand ice gel packs and had good luck with those. I used to use those packs all the time for migraines. As it happens, switching meds (almost two years ago now) was life-changing for me and I can’t remember the last time I had to lie in a dark room with an ice pack on my head. /threaddrift

These are all great but the handsome cat at the top might be my favorite!

My friends in Pueblo got almost 2 feet of snow between yesterday and today.

Here we go. Let’s see how fast the Trump revenge machine moves.

@ShiroKuro totally agree. Read the profile of him in last week's New Yorker. Truly frightening.

Genius indeed. Where to start, how about with one of the greatest albums ever: Off The Wall, 1979 produced with Michael Jackson in his youthful prime.

I've been a subscriber since August, I think. Highly recommend.

Just the beginning.

Excellent piece. I'll be sharing it.

@Steve-Miller said in Who wants to help?: Ohio has started growing wines all over the state. It’s universally terrible. Let ‘em go. Yes. There are a few producing decent, not great, wine. But not many. The French hybrids are yucky.
