And on a similar subject I've come to believe that architects really should have to live in the houses they design for a few months..
Gloria Steinem was right - women do get more radical as they age!

Unusual for me, and she started muttering things about drugs. I have enough Must Take drugs and am averse to any more, and have even dropped one of the ones she insisted on, and been growled at as a result. So today I called in to my favourite pharmacist and got one of the girls to do my blood pressure again. Three times. Normal. Normal. And normal.
Take that bossy doc, lol.
I had one of those a few months back - it was a bit higher than usual so Dr said to lie down for 10 minutes & the nurse would do it again.
It was a very fortunate thing that I hadn't at that stage realised they'd taken to charging more for longer visits or it would have gone a damn sight higher; as it was the budget suffered somewhat. I won't be doing that again.
I think at anything over 60 ish we're lucky to have blood pressure at all...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
