gotta face some music

not necessarily the music, but some music, no doubt... today the biometrics team does heir biometrics thing on me and we find out how old and sick this body might be as they measure four criteria and give me $25 a month off my health insurance for each criteria... if i make all four my health insurance is premium free (and just has deductables and co-pays)... unfortunately it is unlikely i will make all four... the four measures are (i think) cholesterol, bmi, bp, and smoking... i get one for sure cuz i do no smoke... the other three, well, we can hope but i doubt i will get bmi or bp... i don't like bp drugs, the side effects gave me my first pulled muscle ever and they cost more than the savings i'd get if i took the drugs and got the $25 a month so, i stopped taking the bp drugs several years ago... or more... and i have not had muscle issues since... the way i see it is the heart is a muscle and if the side effect of the drug is to potentially damage muscles and that side effect showed up for me, then the benefit of lowering bp is not worth the risk of damage to the heart muscle... medical science is so imprecise, alas... and the bmi, well, this body doesn't fit the norms of the bmi chart so... yeah, losing twenty pounds would be a positive thing for the body, probably, so someday perhaps... but it would not be today...

might meet the cholesterol criteria, depending on what that criteria is... at least i don't smoke, aye?... wouldn't mind a good joint now and then though... that would probably lower my blood pressure too...

hi ho, hi ho... narf :)

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
