Weston is a really nice suburb of Ft Lauderdale. Lots of $ there. I’m guessing her dad is not happy.

Where are you checking your BP? At 260#, make sure the cuff is properly fitted (too small of a cuff can lead to falsely elevated BP’s). Get a real BP cuff for the upper arm, don’t trust a forearm/wrist reading.

Any leg swelling/edema? I’m not a fan of diuretics like HCTZ but your diastolic (bottom number) seems more elevated out of proportion to your systolic (top number), so they may be an option for you (risks of dehydration, hyponatremia/low Na).

My advice:

1) quit all booze. Get a sleep study (OSA can lead to HTN, stroke/CAD).
2) eat better, two 15 minute walks after lunch and supper, and check BP 2-3x a day and record in logbook.
3) if BP still high after a week or so, get on meds (probably would start with an ace inhibitor or an ARB)
4) dial in diet, start strength training, increase length of post-meal walks.

TRT, ozempic, etc. can be useful, but that would probably be step 9 or 10. If you have sleep apnea, getting on CPAP would treat the underlying issue, as opposed to treating the symptoms.

Honest question—besides maybe SS/2nd base and pitcher/catcher positions, wouldn’t it be better for player development to be on a good but not great travel team? Game time reps against the best competition. (Assuming they’re playing at the highest level)

Sprayed (regular strength) roundup on the weeds /unwanted clover around the house yesterday. Planning to add pine needles to the beds around the front/side shrubs. Is 24 hours enough for roundup to work its way from leaves to root, to fully kill the weeds, or give it another day or two? 60 degree weather now.

Ummmm…..uhhhh…..trying to making it through the whole video, but his verbal pauses are distracting

It’s honestly the Louisiana culinary equivalent of the “McRib” at McDonalds. Seasonal/limited time causes people to elevate iit’s quality/taste in their minds over reality.

I feel like I made this post 10 years ago, and was lambasted by king cake defenders. King cake Once a month is appreciated, but getting a king cake 2-3x a week is overkill.

I told my boss if I could make the same as these folks, then make me a developer, less responsibility. I also told him if this wasn't handled appropriately it would be the last straw in me seeking other employment. There have been some other things the company has done recently that have made me consider it.

I’m guessing you didn’t tell your boss this, you probably sent a rambling email stating this.

Care to guess how many mRNA "vaccines" have ever gone thru the normal process of drug approval and have been approved by our FDA?

I know Memorial Sloan Kettering has an mRNA vaccine for neuroblastoma that’s been around for probably ten years or so, but still in the clinical trial phase.
