Never seen the show but how can someone be a rookie for 7 years?

each season, he is a "rookie" in some new scenario and there are always new rookies coming through.

Its a ridiculous show, and I have seen every episode. Plus, the evil redhead lawyer chick does it for me.

FTR: Lucy Chen is fat and the worst character on the show.

You need to lose 20 to 25 pounds

People will not be happy with this, but it’s true

It may also not make a bit of difference. I lost 25 lbs from 210 to 185 without a change and then lost 20 more to 165, again without a drop in cholesterol. 20 mg rosuvostatin a day and now my cholesterol is significantly improved.

I mean, you did it to yourself. Why go on a cruise to Alaska with 2 kids under 5 unless you were searching for pain?

This.

All pool guys are out to scam you, especially the big name ones. Don't let Leslie's anywhere near your pool or a sample of pool water.

Anaheim/ NM chili peppers. These are great for enchiladas, grillled, raw, etc.

I feel like unless I skim the pool surface twice a day for leaves and crap flying around I'm losing the battle.

This is how I felt until I got the betta bot. It's great. Definitely not going to get everything, but I rarely have to skim the pool at all now.

ETA: If you have a corded pool cleaner, the skimmer will get tangled up. I have a pressure side cleaner, so I can't have both in the pool at the same time.

Its not out of the blue when you put a fresh one in..

I did get that frequently with Zyns. Switched to Velo and no issues since.

FYI if you live nearby, you can go by their warehouse (or at least you could the last time I bought some, probably 2 years ago) to avoid shipping costs.

You are dehydrated.

Drink water while boozing, before going to sleep, and right when you wake up.

Or don't. I don't give a frick.

Brought mine down by losing weight. Asked doc how much to lose and he said lose until BP is normal, your body knows. Lost 55 lbs 4 years ago and haven’t taken BP meds since.

I lost 40lbs and then nearly passed out from low BP in September last year. Doctor took me off the meds, and I was fine until this past week. Something is spiking my BP, and I ended up in the ER on Sunday. Possibly liver issues. Yay.
