Child-proof caps, that adults cannot open! I used to joke about senior citizens who have to get their grand-kids to open the child-proof caps that they cannot open.
Two weeks ago, my cardiologist wanted me to change the medicine I'm using for hypertension. She gave me a sample bottle and the office gave me a coupon for the first month free.
It's a recent product and no generic is available. The pharmacy said it's $840 a month without insurance and $45 with. Ouch... as the one I was previously using was covered by insurance with a 'zero' co-payment.

Most of my medicines require a dosage of 1 time per day, this one is twice a day, but starting off, it regulates my pressure to normal with only one a day and that's a plus!

The sample has a childproof cap that requires pressing and squeezing but, the 'sawtooth' cap clicks and doesn't open without some great amount of force to open.
Enough of that... I'm putting them in a different bottle.

It was 13 years ago when I bought my first smartphone. Manufactured by HTC and sold by SPRINT, the model was called EVO. History records this was one of their most popular models. I loved that phone as it took really nice photos and started my introduction to texting. That EVO traveled half-way around the world with me.

When Samsung released their Galaxy Note series, I retired the EVO and from time to time brought it out to charge the battery. I needed an alarm clock and setup the EVO to do that. All the other functions were turned off and it was in battery saver mode. I only needed to recharge the battery every 10 days to 2 weeks. It has a soft green silicone non-slip case that keeps it from slipping off the nightstand.
This weekend, like normal, I charged it and when I removed the USB connector, the charging light remained on. Something is wrong... Usually the phone is in standby mode and when I lit up the screen, it gasped it's last breath and everything went dark.
My EVO has died...

For now, I pulled my Galaxy Note II (that replaced the EVO) from storage and set it up as an alarm clock. The Note doesn't have a case and will probably slip out of my hand when I grab it from the night stand, so I can get a cheap case... or I could buy a used EVO from eBAY for $10 and reuse the case I already have.

I'm leaning toward the used EVO and not the Note.

Last summer was a parade of my cats bringing home dead animals. Birds, mice, shews, rats, anything they can catch. Hell last year the cat brought in a live bird that went to wing in the room and shit on my fking desk

Greybeard is already out on the prowl so any day it will start

Its hard for me to relate to people sometimes. I mean, I'm telling them about the time I jumped off the cliff trying to fly like superman because my mother made a cape for me out of a garbage bag only to nearly kill myself, they look at me totally bewildered and I'm like "you never?"

Socializing is hard

I have just watched the coronation and when looking at the majority of thousands upon thousands of hopefully British public (I know it was a mix) people I couldn't help noticing that they weren't half as obese as the USA public that I sometimes see on US channels.

Not sure if this is my imagination or not.
Has anyone else noticed this and if so what causes this?
I doubt it can only be the current fast food trade alone, maybe genetics?

Would you care what you ate....if you could not taste or smell?

(what has caused taste and smell disappear lately?)


Would you care who you loved or had s*x with...as long as it satisfied you?

(what is going on today with the corn industry and the toy industry?)

Would you care about how you spend your free time....if you could immerse yourself at home through your electronics?

(what is going on with the tech industry today?)

Would you care about morals and ethics....if you could get away with being unethical and immoral...in other words, do whatever pleases you?

(what is going on with religion today?)

Would you be able to look at others (especially opposite s*x) with compassion...if you are being told to despise them?

(what is going on today between genders...and other divisive message we are being fed today?)


I am sure I can go on and on...


The ultimate question is...are we giving up what makes us human beings?

What do you think?

Are you noticing yourself starting to become numb?

A shooter at a bank in downtown Louisville killed at least four people — including two friends of the governor — and wounded at least nine others, police said. The suspect also was dead.


The shooting, the 15th mass killing in the country this year

About 3 weeks ago I decided to get a low-end fitness watch. It was amazing. Why? Because it could record my blood pressure while the watch was sitting on my desk.

That went back and I ordered a medium priced Fitbit watch.

Expecting better results, I again questioned the accuracy. While 2 times around my community is three-quarters of a mile, it was able to record lots more calories burned than the first watch. It rained one morning and I sat on the corner of the bed strumming guitar. To my surprise, it recorded I had some 1,200 steps and burned lots of calories, more than a brisk around the condos. That model didn't have the ability to check blood pressure. It didn't mater... I returned it too!

What I disliked about both 'fitness' watches is the amount of information they requested of me. I realize height and weight statistics helps it make correct calculations for walking and running. I wasn't a willing participant for food intake, amounts of liquids, messages when I need to be active and at rest.

I cleared the data, personal information and deleted the apps from my phone. Maybe one day I'll train for the Olympics or a local marathon and would reconsider another fitness watch. For now, my answer is no...

Well, it doesn't matter who you are, you can still have adulterous relationships and become king of England and the commonwealth. And supreme governor of the church of England. According to previous interviews on TV Charles admitted his relationship with Camilla, who now becomes Queen consort. The marriage to Diana had apparently irretrievably broken down.
It was definitely a CROWNAFFAIR.
