 BS>> and I eat extra salty things).  I've decided I'll have them kick up
 BS>> my heartrate by 1 for each birthday now.
 NB>> Will they do that for you...?  That's rather low blood pressure,
 NB>> too... it would seem that you aren't particularly salt-sensitive...  :)

 BS> Just joshing about the heartrate, but the BP is bothersome.  Not as
 BS> bad as it was, used to be I had to plant both feet on the floor, take
 BS> about 3 breaths, then stand.  Otherwise I got light headed. 

Oh, ok... ;)  At least you've learned coping mechanisms for the low
BP... but you would think they'd want to do something to not have it so
low... :)

 BS> I used to be a saltaholic, dropped way down on my intake because the
 BS> medicos said to, and in the last few years picked it up again.  Now I
 BS> just tell them what I'm doing, if they don't like it they can come up
 BS> with an alternative (they haven't and it's been a couple of years). I
 BS> pretty much ignore all the dietary stuff they toss at me, didn't used
 BS> to.  But by cholesterol levels are down at the bottom (130-140) and
 BS> my BP is down also. 

Sounds to me as though you've got things pretty well under control, and
they might as well let you do as you please... ;)

 BS> The only static I get is from the guy who tsk-tsks at my
 BS> liver.  So which is gonna get me first?  My heart, liver, or a player
 BS> to be named at a later date.  As I've said before...I've cheated death
 BS> probably 6 to 8 times in the past, like sitting in a small plane
 BS> smelling leaking Avgas with the dirty side of the plane up (bad thing
 BS> was I was the pilot).   Worrying isn't gonna stop the inevitable, might
 BS> actually speed things up.  So, how bout them Cubbies!?

Exactly... might's well not worry, just go with it... :)  We're glad to
have you still around... but none of us will live forever.... 

 BS> I'm in a good mood.  Got "My" computer back, from a digital standpoint
 BS> it's been a bad 2 months.  It let the magic smoke escape, it was under
 BS> warranty, so it was fixed.  Been using my old computer.

Indeed a good thing... and since under warranty, you're not out of
pocket for it, either, I'd guess...?  Glad you got it back, and
fixed.... ;)
