I didn't know beans about high blood pressure...

[MacFromOK]

I do suggest you get a good home BP checker and use it frequently just to keep an eye on it.

I have both a manual rig and a battery operated one. I left the batteries (Duracell) in too long and they leaked, but didn't damage anything (just a nuisance to clean up). Hoping to rig a power supply for it and ditch the batteries altogether.

The manual one is a pain to use, mainly because the cuff is barely large enough for my arm. Between that and trying to hold the stethoscope in place and still squeeze the bulb... the frustration alone probably drives it up a few extra points.

Good luck to you, do take care of your self.

Thanks.

Since we all know the effects of beans on the human body, I encourage you to incorporate gun safety over to bean safety.
Make sure there's not one in the chamber when you dry fire.

If there's one in the chamber it's never a dry fire. [emoji48]

OK. Monday's meal of Pork and Beans. Was that a full sized can of beans? You do know you can get those in the small cans with pull-top lids?

Excellent information!! Glad you shared it.
I have beans very often and eat them right out of the can many times.
I will get the wife on more beans.

Yep, full sized 15oz (the refried ones are 16oz). If I start eating lesser amounts, I can put the rest in the fridge.

Not happening. That would make them left-overs, and I hate eating left-overs.

 

[MacFromOK]

Never had a problem with left-overs. As Dad used to say, I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first.

Well, almost anything...

Try some refried black beans. That's what I had for lunch.

One thing about dried beans, they will last forever. If I had to grab things to last me through some catastrophic, long term, survival thing, it would be dried beans and rice. A little water and a fire, you live. Throw anything that grows, growls or swims and you have a feast.

BTW, kidding aside, don't screw around with blood pressure. It's an insidious killer.
