BP and Ex-Wife 148/84

  My ex-wife has been calling a great many times.  She is depressed and alone in Texas.  Yes my ex-wife is in Texas. 
  I took my BP when I was talking to her:  148/85 and pulse of 70. 
  Wonder of wonder last night Ken and Russell went out for food can came back with food for me.  It was two chili dogs.  I love chili dogs.
  I canceled the Yahoo phone service.  I am now using just the AOL phone service at $10.00 a month.  I can call around the world for a flat $10.00 a month. Not that I ever call anyone.  Now that I have only the AOL phone service it is messing up on me.  If someone calls it does not ring now I just get a message on the screen and a scrip error.  I have installed a new beta version of AIM IM and we will see if that corrects the problem.
  Russell made an attempt to get the ROJ_NEBULER.C off my computer.  I am not sure if he got the job done or not.  It will take a re-boot a time or two and me trying to use IE to find out. 
  My video on YouTube has had 3905 viewers in less than two days. So far 90 people have made comments about it.  There has not been an increase in traffic to ShowMeBlog from the YouTube video.
  LaDawna, my daughter, will be here tomorrow to visit with us.  She lives in Washington DC but is in Miami FL on business.  She was in Tampa on Tuesday and the town did not make a good impression on her. 
  I feel rotten today.  I think it has something to do with the medications.  I am taking Avodart, Doxazosin, baby aspirin and for the last two days I took one Flinstones plus Iron each day.  I got a Rx for Zocor but I have not got it filled yet.  I sound like an old person.

  I just checked the CNN web site and I see that Atlantic made it up today.  Great news. 
  Did I mention here the other day about the ER nurse that came home and found a guy in her house and she killed him with her bare hands?  I see now on CNN about a woman in a wheelchair that shot a mugger with a 357!  The NRA is going to love her and she will be their poster woman.  Truth is you should not try and kill someone, she shot him in the arm, for stealing something from you.  (God I know your going to yell and scream at me for making that statement.  Yes I am a real American.)

YouTube "Honors"

My YouTube post is one of the most discussed and commented on videos on YouTube today.  I did a check and more than 2500 have seen the video in the last 24 hours.  But only one person came to ShowMeBlog from YouTube!

Happy Birthday Dick

I want to wish Dick, in Kansas City, a very happy birthday.  I have known Dick for many many years.  He has been a good friend.
Dick and I have many of the same interest.  Both of us were early computer people.  We are interested in many of the same issues.
Dick is also a ham radio operator.
Dick was in the Vietnam war.  He was an officer in the USAF.  He is a true American.  He is just the sort of person you wish you had for a friend.  He has done many things that I wish I had the guts to do.  He is a kind soul.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

  Dale Carnegie was also from Belton, Missouri but it is clear that I did not read his book; "How to Win Friends and Influence People."  As most of you know I do not hold back on my views and feeling here in ShowMeBlog.  Sometimes you comment about my remarks.  I may get 2 or 3 comments on a subject but most of the time none.  Since July of 2003 however there have been 909 comments made here.  I thank you for those comments.
  I have started to post videos here.  Often they are videos from YouTube or VideoEgg.  Some of the videos I post here are my comments and views but in video format.  I sometimes make them public on YouTube.  On YouTube one of my videos may get 100 viewers and sometimes one or two people may comment on the video.  I posted a video 24 hours ago and, at this point, 1523 people have seen it and 15 people have commented.
  That Video "Comments About Fox 6 "News" Attack has been posted here in ShowMeBlog two times.  One time a YouTube video and the other as a VideoEgg video. 

If you want to see the TV Reporter Attack Video, not my comments, here is an edited version by the Fox "news" TV station:  TV Reporter Attack Video.

My Video Comments about Fox 6 News Attack

 

 

Russell Working Full Time

  Russell went into work today thinking that he would get off work, like normal, at noon.  It was after 4 pm when he got home.  They told him today that he is now full time.  That is going to be more money for him.  I am sure he is happy about it.

  I got a loan from Russell today so I could go to the doctor.  I had to get $10.00 for the office visit.  I saw the doctor today at 2:45 pm.  My lab work last time had high glucose and high cholesterol.
  My lab work this time also had high glucose and high cholesterol.  The doctor wanted to know who in my family was diabetic.  I told him no one was diabetic.  He said again that I am borderline diabetic.
  He wrote me out a Rx for a medication to lower my cholesterol.  The medication is Zocor and I am to take 40 mg per day.  I think Simvastatin is a generic equivalent.  If I am correct then I can get it for $5.00 a month.  I don't have the $5.00 right now but I am in no hurry to start it.  I got a feeling that it is going to cause me problems.
  He wants me to take one baby aspirin each day. 
  Today my heart has been pounding and I had some chest pain.  I did not say anything to the doctor about the chest pain or heart pounding.  The nurse when I got there took my BP and it was high.  (Remember I had to walk to the doctor's office.)  When the doctor mentioned my BP was high I told him I was thinking it was high because of walking to his office.  He took my BP with me seated and he noticed that my heart was pounding.  He then took it with me standing and said again that my heart was pounding.  He said my BP was good (low) both times he took it.
  Because of my pounding heart and maybe he has other reasons he wants me to make an appointment with a cardiologist.  He wants a full work up on me (stress test and everything).  I need it done but I am not looking forward to having it done.  I think they will find a problem.  But just think if I get a clean bill of health you will never here me posting about chest pain.

Comments on Attack on Reporter

  This is my comments about the attack on a San Diego (CA) investigative "journalist" by the name of John Mattes.  He was working on a story about alleged real estate fraud.  My guess is you have seen the video.  This is not video of the attack.  It is video of my comments on the subject.
