Well, my previous post no longer has the same meaning. It is now without humor.
So, I might as well make a real list of things that cause high blood pressure:
Salt
Caffeine
Alcohol
Smoking
Excess weight
Refined Sugar
Lack Of Exercise
Lack Of Fruit And Veggies
And without mentioning any "personal names", Stress.

I have learned from taking care of older people, that using humor that attacks other people, will normally cause stress on the person trying to pull off that mean type of humor... I have also noticed that the people who write their "grievances in the sand" seem to be less stressed then those who continue to see their grievances written in stone everytime they turn around.

I appreciate the fact that the moderators at this forum, didnt see your post as humorous... That's what makes the difference in this forum!!!!

Thanks Just Me, you just cured my hypertensive flareup.

I apologize to the moderators for my post, as it could be seen as a personal attack, even though it wasn't meant to be.
Sand or stone, I feel much better now.

We understand.

Thought I would stop by and point out that the word intended to be used here, is hypertension versus hypertention.

Happens to the best of us.

Thanks for the list! It enlightened me a lot.

Your right. My brain doesn't work well after midnight.


Iggy, thanks for the laugh, but just to set the record straight, I'm not vegetarian, as I eat fish, shrimp, and can have chicken or turkey if I want.
Hell, I'd take chicken wings over Gizzards anyday. I don't eat pork or red meat, because I believe they contributed to my Hypertention, er, Hypertension.

I know, I know.
You and I have almost the same diet and exercise regimen, 'cept I'm not a "powder puff".

The Pinball Gizzard is sung to this tune.
