Me, too. I trend pretty low. 120/80 for me means that my system is having mild troubles (like inflammation in the airways, nothing more major than that).

All this BP talk made me go check paper from donating blood 121/80 bout where it is every time good enough for me.
 
Helped friends today and listened to the game, too bad it got away but hey I still believe we are improving. BC if your at the Clay Co. fair tomorrow look for me. Damn didn't get home till 11:30 nd should leave by 6:30ish tomorrow am. This is kind of sucking. Nearly 50 oz of Diet Devil's drink has me well caffeinated for now that's why I caught up on CF instead of going to bed but time to quit for the night. (maybe). By the way nice job crew with an 8 page day.
 
I told my dad we should have charged $5 for information/directions in the parking lot today. There was one Hok fan who was the definition of a Hok fan. If he would have lifted his shirt, it would say Hawkeyes on his belly. He was asking about which entrance to go in, could you bring coolers in, etc. We are in a parking spot yards from the stadium and he is, "How y'all get to park here--just come real early?" Also overheard in the parking lot while someone was talking to a friend on the phone, "Are you on this really busy street?" Preeety sure those people never found each other.

Way too many Hawkeyes in the endzone. Hubby ended up sitting next to an older Hawkeye couple, but they were nice. There was a real douche a few rows down that was making an ass of himself. At halftime I hear a couple of guys talking and they were like, "This is boring, let's go to the bars". Look up and it is douche and his friend canoe. Good riddance. And yes, that whole game was soooo boring.

In the row in front of us are about 4 couples, the women all sit by each other and the guys all sit by each other. One of the guys looked like a former teacher/coach from HS. Took me about 3+ quarters to remember his name. Never did get to talk to him. So once we got home I pulled out my yearbook to double check if I was right. Now my family is getting a kick out of looking at pictures of me in HS 25yrs ago . . .
 
If Whataburger could just not fill up my cup with 80% ice, that would be appreciated.

Same with Sonic drinks during their happy hour.

Btw, what's a Whataburger?

*gasp!*
I hope in the near future they get one in KC. At least have a fighting chance of eating there once a year.

Sunburn confined to back of my left arm and left side of my face. Still have the heat eminating off the arm.

Came downstairs to eat breakfast...either cereal or toast. Cereal's gone, and only the heels left on the bread. *thhhppppbbbbttt* to the other person living in this place.

Will be coaching football NW. I don't get away for much besides football and volleyball right now.
 
It was a fun movie. Just not real deep in character development. Of course, Dumas, wasn't meaning to be real serious either.
True - but I love his stories. It makes me a tiny bit ill to say this, but I think Charlie Sheen was better than Richard Chamberlain as Aramis - he played it much stronger for the false piety.
Lester had so much going on in his version, so much so that he ended up dividing it in two as longer films weren't popular in the 70's. The final "scene" in Three was actually an outtake, but it was so in character for Raquel Welch that they put it in: the musketeers, D'artagnan and Constance are walking away from the palace and the training dummy swings around and hits Welch full-on, knocking her on her butt. Her surprise is genuine, and you can see Chamberlain hiding his laughter behind a hand. :D
I tried to find a clip, but all I found was the full movie and a few early scenes on YouTube for 1973. Most of the clips were from the 1993 version.

Had a hat on, hair in a ponytail out the back open space of the hat, so my neck was exposed (usually covered by hair). So I'm rocking red cheekbones and a scarlet triangle on the left side of my neck. Not too bad...but I had some overheating concerns late in the fourth, and was no longer able to stand up fast without wobbling. PapaLew hung onto me pretty quick, but I missed a lot of play-action because we had three very tall, very wide guys in front of us, and they would jump up about half a second after the snap on each play. Stay up, stay down, I can adjust to see around your position. But I couldn't jump up as fast as them!
 
My 9-year old only knows two "bad" words: freaking and crap

Sonic is the worst at filling up your cup with ice. People always say how good Sonic's ice is, and I always think that everyone eats the ice because they have no other choice. The drink is done in about 2 gulps and you're left with 90% ice and still thirsty.

Let the ice melt and drink it...it's better for you than to drink that soda, the devil's drink. Just sayin'.

I know people who do not stand get such a bad rap at Cyclone sporting events. But my dad and his buddies physically have a hard time standing/getting up and down multiple times. You do miss a lot of action if you aren't able to see anything except the people in front of you. They are in the middle of the row and have to stand up multiple times to let people by--even that is hard for these guys. Not sure what the best solution is, even the handicap areas get blocked views. Someday you are going to hear ambulance/paramedic calls to the endzone as my 76yr old father with 2 titanium hips climbs over the top rail behind his seats to get out. Makes us very nervous watching him . . .

I couldn't even see over them when I was standing! :D But if I stood, I could see the big screens in the endzones.

Yeah, if seat number is five and the first seat you go by says 40, go around not through.
 
Birdy's comment on her dad's hips reminded me of jumping up and doing a ceiling reach fist pump on the last ISU touchdown. Then felt a little sheepish about my old man lack of vertical. :oops: Did a quick assessment and concluded I did not hurt myself so all was good. Also no one was laughing at me, too busy celebrating what we thought was the winning TD. :(
