The wrist monitors are relatively inexpensive and easy to operate, and might provide more useful information about your blood pressure trends.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-63509681317170480972008-10-20T23:07:00.000+01:002008-10-20T23:07:00.000+01:00Good advice, =Tamar!

At the county courthouse earlier, I found out that the Republican leader of the county, now 90 years old or so, has publicly stated he is voting for Obama - first time in his life he is not voting for the Republican ticket. And there are Obama signs all over this small, rural/farming community of about 2,000 residents - and I've only seen one McCain sign.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-63167067339354001712008-10-20T17:47:00.000+01:002008-10-20T17:47:00.000+01:00My brother thinks McCain doesn't want to be presid...My brother thinks McCain doesn't want to be president and the Republicans don't want a possible deeper recession blamed on them, so they deliberately chose Palin to destroy their chances.<BR/><BR/>Medical hint: _never_ tell a doctor you feel fine; resist the social training to say that out of politeness. Always say "Sick" or "Terribly worried" or whatever you need them to pay attention to.<BR/><BR/>And be _insistent_ - a friend of mine had to tell her ophthalmologist that she wasn't going to leave the office until they found out what was wrong with her eyes; after several hours and three doctors, they finally realized she had detached retinas in both eyes. Immediate major surgery managed to save both eyes but they had been telling her she was "fine" and she knew she wasn't.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping your eyes stay healthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-15461318991120876332008-10-20T15:08:00.000+01:002008-10-20T15:08:00.000+01:00I agree about Mr Powell.

I hope your eye trouble clears up. My Mother works for one of the leading eye clinics here in the states.
