"I'm ashamed to admit I voted for him."

61. You're right. It's been less than 100 days, and I don't even bother to check my blood pressure any

more. The first time I was diagnosed with high blood pressure was the 2000 election during the recount debacle. After the recount dragged on, I literally came down with a bad headache at work, and my supervisor insisted that I go over to the medical clinic at the defense contractor's plant where I worked. They told me that my blood pressure was through the roof, and that their policy did not allow them to permit me to leave on my own. They had to call an ambulance. I was 41 and in good shape, but coming from a large family with a father and sister who had been on medication for high blood pressure for years. I started exercising regularly, my BP eventually came down and stayed down and after a year got off the BP medicine. With high BP, your thoughts count and they can be lethal. But I can't ignore him as long as he's in office and doing stupid things. Trying to ignore the news is just as stressful when you've been a news junkie all your life.
