Well this conservative posted a picture for you that I took on my trip
to Quebec.

Gee Fig, you were in tiptop shape until you took a sabbatical from your
anti-conservative diabtribes. I think your system just overloaded from
un-excreted rants. :)

I wouldn't want it any other way. For some perverse reason, I missed my
daily edition of "current events according to Fig". :)

I think it's 'cos we're far apart
That you've got a prob. with your heart
Or perhaps it's just gas
Take advice from this lass
What you need is a jolly good........... check-up ;-)

So go -- what are you waiting for? Thursday indeed..............

Just curious, Figaro. When you wake up in the morning, do you have the
almost un-conscious urge to stretch every muscle and tighten them, again?
Did you find yourself waking up and maybe your arm was "asleep"?

Don't know.

Except that I suspect very much that the new blood pressure meds I'm on
maybe a little too effective, too. It's just a couple of the "symptoms"
that seem to have materialized lately.

At any rate, go with the stents, if at all possible.

If he would get a real SUV for-crying-out-loud ---- he wouldn't need a
carrier.

That wussette Honda gives SUV's a bad name.

There, that ought to help his blood pressure. Always like to do my part.

I've found Gas-X to be quite effective, Fig. And an increase
in dietary fibre will, believe it or not, cure the problem. You may
have some discofort for a day or two, as your system adjusts to the
fibre, but it will literally wash the gas right out of your system.
Sure beats the bleach enema I tried.
