    We are usually still running the A/C in December. When it gets cold I just wear socks with 'em.

    So that heart rate's still up there, huh? That sucks, but in the context of all the other good news...

    I used to be on a mega-supplement program and have a cutter that does one pill at a time. I'm sure you all have verified that there is no time-release coating being compromised by cutting these things.

    I have a one-pill-at-a-time cutter but it seems off-center and does not cut equal 'halves.' :mad: I've had it for a while and it needed replacing, so since I have a bunch of BP tabs to split I went for the multi-unit. The Lisinopril tabs can be halved without issue.

    Back story: I met with an internal medicine doctor yesterday as part of my "pre-op" general health check. She was the first doctor to actually show concern about the heart rate/BP issue. She asked me who prescribed the Lisinopril and I said my PCP and the conversation went from there. She seems to think that the addition of a beta-blocker and a reduction in Lisinopril will help, so I'm all for it. I was extremely impressed with her, and I have a follow-up appointment in a week to see how this is going.

    That's a slick unit. I can't even find a pic of the one I've had for decades, it's so outdated.

    I'm glad you've found these doctors you can trust. It allows you to focus on your care without the undercurrent of doubts.

    Well, I got the Birkenstock shearling clogs and returned them. They appeared to be someone's returned merchandise and I'm not paying that much money for "used" shoes. :mad:

    In other news, I ordered this American West Picture Jasper necklace and I love it. It was hand made in New Mexico. Now I "need" a bracelet. :D

    Just placed an Amazon order:

    20210813 Amazon.jpg

    -Headset that will connect to my phone and to my smartwatch.
    -Mylar bags to long-term store beans, rice, sugar, etc.
    --I didn't buy a sealer. For the small quantity I'm gonna do, I'll use my iron.
    -Charger stand for my smartwatch.

    I was looking at deep fryers, but figured I don't need to be eating a ton of that kind of food.

    My microwave recently started making a weird sound, sort of a grinding sound. It's probably perfectly safe but...... to be quite frank, I've never quite trusted them. I waited a long time before I got one. But as the years went by and I didn't see any two headed people with gills walking by, I did get one. But I want it to be on tip top shape.

    So I went online and looked for microwaves made in the USA. I found Whirlpool, Viking, Magic Chef and Maytag. I ordered the Maytag. I've heard good things about their products over the years. It was delivered a few minutes ago. I haven't even opened it yet.

    I was the same way.

    The guy who invented those was a scientist working in Raytheon's radar department. Long story short, he was in the room with microwave transmitters (they were transmitting) and noticed that the food in his lab coat pocket (either a candy bar or a sandwich, depending on the story version) was melted/hot. He then tried popcorn (a great success) and an egg (a great mess.) And from that, an appliance was born (the first residential model being sold in 1967.) Appropriately enough, it was called a Radar Range. He lived to be 76, if it makes you feel better. His body temp was 125°F when he died (okay, I made that up.)
