Have you located the bird, Ginger? What does the dog say?
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I haven't heard the bird, so I'm hoping it swooped out the door. Mr Peabody doesn't seem to sense anything, but he really only cares about rodents and cheese.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay, not going to lie down. Going to shower instead. Turns out that another friend who was in town for another wedding this weekend is still here so I'm joining her, her bf, and a mutual friend for lunch. Said mutual friend actually works for my former org, so it'll be good to catch up with him.

Ugh, just got back to the doctor and my BP is high, REALLY high: 156/110. Gotta go back in 2 weeks to get it retaken. Tom's BP was high too, maybe just Louisiana cooking catching up to us? Anyway, must avoid fried foods and watch sodium intake for the next couple weeks- any other tips?

Avoid stress. But then, as my father used to say, "the absence of stress is death"

Yeah, I don't see that happening. I wonder if it could be from the stress of the event planning, but who knows... and now I am SUPER stressed about the BP itself! Ugh.

Yoga and meditation?
I'm not being facetious, btw. Any kind of relaxation techniques can contribute to getttng BP down.

yeah, definitely gotta get back to the yoga. I went to a class for the first time in like a year a few weeks ago, but need to keep it up.

Lower salt and fat intake, Nora, and increase exercise. Any of that will help if you do it consistently, but some of each will probably help most. H has dealt with actual-killing-levels of HBP since his late 20s, and the first two were the hardest to acclimate to but easiest to maintain long-term. A committed exercise program is an ongoing struggle, but the results show up on the tests. Good luck with it.

My mom is on a small dose of blood pressure meds now...she gets perfect readings. Also, Lay's Reduced Salt potato chips are really good...I might even prefer them. Reduced-salt Fritos: meh. They're a'ight...once you get past the shock of the first few. The sum total of my knowledge about blood pressure, ladies and gentlemen. But I thought you might like to know anyway.
