Haha. I think it’s worse than the Eyes Wide Shut artwork. Only way to get it tho as there’s no standard. Not a fan of the Disnee business model.

I like Selena and Jennifer. But even they can’t convince me to go back to packaged anything.

When you have anything gourmet, which is what bakery and homemade are essentially, you can’t go back to packaged anything, no matter the reason. Specialty grocery stores like Uncle Giuseppe’s and Wegman’s, Bakeries like Gargiulo’s and family members’ cooking really have spoiled me.

Homemade Bisquick dark chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies.

I've eaten lots of gourmet cookies in my lifetime. That hasn't kept me from eating packaged cookies. Or anything else for that matter. Packaged food gets a bad rap. Is it better than gourmet (homemade or whatnot)? No, not always. But I still enjoy packaged food and will eat them. Some people have a preference for gourmet/homemade food and that's fine. Whatever cranks a person's Honda. I'm one of those people who don't care either way about it.

My BP slowly increased as my activity did over the course of the day. The tricky part was that I was light headed until it rose, which increased my fall risk. I did not need to go to the ER; my BP has been far lower. My record low was 77/38; that required medical intervention.

In April of this year my heart rate fell as low as 26 bpm and rarely got above 44 bpm earning me a week long stay in the hospital and the implantation of a three wire pacemaker; I have wires from my pacemaker connected to my right atrium and both ventricles.

I have become pretty good at determining when I need to go to the ER; I am kind of a hospital veteran now. I have had three surgeries this year between February and April and today was my 75th medical appt. so far this year.

The ER is a very expensive place to visit, but better a nasty bill than a tragic outcome. When in doubt do the safe thing and get checked out. I'm sorry about the large co-pay for your recent ER visit.

pacemaker well hey had 4 pacemakers since the 80's pacmaker's they sure are better then used to be

I got these and they are all right. I cant eat a lot of them. Seems like they would be better in the fall or winter maybe?

I heard something on the roof at like 3AM and it definitely WAS NOT Santa. It was loud enough to wake me up and I sleep with a fan on.

Based on the overall polarizing opinions here, the price tag and my general disdain of steelbook releases, I've decided to return my unopened copy of "Master and Commander" on UHD, so here's to hoping there's a future "regular" edition that becomes available for a cheaper price.

We used to have a large tree near our roof and would periodically hear animals up there. They sometimes left "gifts" as well. We haven't had any issues since the tree was removed several years ago.

I dated a teenage Squirrel. That would be the title of SF's autobiography.

I knew you had a thing for bears, but I didn't know it was this bad.
