I do not recall feeling faint.
But, I have moments of feeling weak. I too am anemic. Since I was a child.
Everyday I really try and eat beans, spinach and broccoli and raisins. There are also some cereals I eat that are iron rich.
Are you getting enough iron?

Thank-you Smeshque. I think I knew that. I'm also anemic so the combo isn't a good one.

Do you feel faint ever?

Gersun my BP has always ran low, it runs in the 90s/60's
And I believe that if systolic gets below 90 and diastolic gets below 60 then it is too low.

Send, I always think of you and your struggles whenever autism is mentioned. I know your plate is full with your DH. Your paper plate? :P Hugs always to you.

My problem today is my blood pressure. It's getting too low I think. It was 94 over 84 yesterday. Every time I get up from a sitting position or even just lean over I feel like I'm going to faint. The doctor thinks I'm fine but when does low become too low? Does anyone know?

Spring Cleaning results:

Someone left the ceiling fan blades out in the rain.

Not showering after weed pulling resulted in allergic response at midnight,
requiring change of sheets and showering.

No longer buying paper plates at all.

Expensive Uber rides.

Just another day in the life....

And what good did the blue lights on the buildings do? Autism Awareness Day is over.

I overheard a discussion in store about when is winter over? One man said he will not put his snowblower away until he pulls out his lawn mower.  Fair exchange.

So, maybe no chains are required to cross the grapevine (elevation 4200 ft.) If one has "snow tires?" Just a fool about snow, I will likely never drive in the snow.

Cwillie,
How are things with Nephew, moving, settling in, the police academy?

We had snow overnight, the ground is white. That's okay cause I'm no fool, I haven't taken my snow tires off yet.

Tomorrow is April Fools Day, the wildflowers are blooming everywhere in SoCal, and Easter is on it's way. My hubs calls Easter "Resurrection Sunday".
He also calls April Fools Day: "National Atheists Day".

When Tweety was lost this afternoon, I did look for his tail.
Found it sticking out from an outlet .....he was standing on the electrical cord behind the headboard.
His chirp was so tiny and quiet, wondering if he knew he was lost?

Only turned my attention away for a moment to do paperwork.

No, CWillie.
That list of essentials would be for my hubs if he moved away. LOL.
I would keep the chocolate, and give him my stuffed bunny though.

I hope you could return it Glad. I'm right at the edge of possibility so I've been reluctant to try. On the farm we relied on a tower and rotating antenna and were able to pull in the closest city, in the summer we sometimes could pick up Detroit which doubled the number of channels.

First tried an over the air antenna, that is really all I need. But closest metro area is about 60 miles. Why would the local Wal-Mart even have antennas on their shelves without a notification that they will not work in this area? How many people do you think would buy an antenna here if they knew ahead of time that it will not work?

That reminds me of the time long ago when a group of us were visiting friend and chatting on their eight floor balcony, some in our group went down to retrieve something from their care and when the returned told us they could hear every word.

Next door, there's a cathedral tower you can climb up for a panoramic view of the city from its roof. What visitors don't know is that people on the ground (innocently weeding their flower beds of a Saturday morning, for example) can hear every word they have to say about it - it's one of those acoustic freaks you get in architecture, I suppose.

For those of you wanting to see local news, if you are in an urban area or in any way within range of one consider an over the air antenna, you can watch a lot for free.

Oh [expletive deleted]!!!

I have just received an invitation to my ex's stepdaughter's wedding in June.

I know this sounds nice. Tchah. What it actually is is a giant sign that reads "Danger - Minefield ahead."

I keep thinking I really ought to take more interest in local news. I still feel like an outsider, still know more about what's happening where I used to live than I do about the lead issues and personalities round here.

But they're all so hopeless! The little store I go to daily has a stand for the local newspaper; this week's headline is: "Failing School Gets Worse." It's not what you'd call enticing, exactly, is it.

Kettle
Combi microwave oven
Nesting glass/Pyrex dishes for use with same
Stand of four chopping boards - JosephJoseph does a good one for not much money

Iron (good one, feeble ones are a false economy)
Ironing board (big enough or he'll waste time juggling)
Towels and bedlinen - Rule of 3 (one on, one spare, one in the wash)
Capacious and portable laundry bag so he can haul it easily to the laundrette (which might do service washes at a fair price if he asks nicely)

That's my two cents on the 'Bear Necessities' - but CW you know what? This is his comfort and economy, and erratic GF is his chosen point of contact, and it isn't reasonable for the rest of the family to be chasing their tails trying to compensate for poor communication on their part! If you can nail the girl down on one thing, make it the inventory for the house he's being given - then you'll know where the gaps are.

I haven’t watched the news, read a newspaper or followed politics for a few years. I realised there was nothing any of us can really do. It’s so depressing and the evening news isn’t really news anymore who cares if someone crashed their car into a house two states away or someone was caught on video with their child unrestrained in the back seat? As far as politics goes we only have the illusion of free speech and democracy As Billy Joel says in Angry Young Man, “I found that just surviving was a noble fight”
