I went for a checkup about two months ago and my BP was an astonishing 168 over 115 (I'm 36). They did some further tests, and made me buy a BP machine to record my BP every morning for a week. It was all over the place, still very high. Then they gave me a miniature machine to carry around all day taking my BP every 15 minutes. It turned out to be totally normal. The doc reckoned there was some kind of anxiety reaction to the fact that I was having it taken. Once I forgot the thing was on, I was fine!
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

I had the same assault assessment a month ago, the nurse said that my blood pressure was just under the high marker, tested again and it was lower.
She then commented it may be because your here and don't like needles etc.

I can relate to that. I hate needles.

I had my blood pressure done a couple of years back, 104/68
Not bad for an overweight middle aged, unfit, chap!

That's the good news.
The bad news is that those numbers are in psi.

Reminds me of a mean joke:
Do you know why the number 250 is so important to us two?
It's your weight and my IQ.

You get to a certain age where you have to accept any kind of success you can get your hands on! 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Losing weight can help with the BP - as well as a load of other nasties, such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes, some cancers - and it needn't be a drastic diet. I dropped mine by 8.5Kg in about six months (to go from an "Overweight" BMI to "Healthy") just by cutting out cr*p - no sweets, puddings, that kind of thing, and eating slightly smaller portions. The good things about this are that 1) You don't really notice as it's the same food as always, pretty much; and 2) that it's easier to maintain the lower weight afterwards that it is with a "crash diet" - which is normally followed by a celebratory binge! 
In the same period, Herself lost 14Kg - but she's a lot less sessile than I am.

It's the sweets, the deserts, the sugars that are the worst IMO. Easily avoided unless you have a wife who likes to buy them for the sprog!

What I can derive from this, is that in some point of time in the future, you are going to die.

Many parents I've see around, torture their kids with studies. At times it goes to this type of extremes[^]. I've heard from my mates, if this happens in the US, the parents might be in prison by the time I finish posting this message.
But times are changing here too, Many "millennial" parents are doing great. They do leave the child free. But a typical parent of the 1990s used to literally abuse the children in the name of education. At the end the Child will pick up a bit on studies but lose out on the basic human traits.
On the video the child is so frightened as she forgot "2" after the "1".. And she screams almost like "After 1...(crap) that's nothing!, it's 3? oh No (Sh*it) is it nothing. ..4? No sh*t!!...its 5.
She doesn't use these cr*p & sh*ts literally, but her emotions were so strong, and the way she expresses it is worse than using these words. Poor child.

Sad and true, since I have experienced it first hand. Now I am a smart guy, but I have no social life.
I believe these practices will end with the practitioners because I for one am not going to do the same and I do not think I am the only one here.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking. Just barge in will'Ya?

From one extreme to another, here in the UK education is like a dirty word. It's perfectly acceptable to call educated people "geeks", "squares", "nerds", etc. Being uneducated is cool.. and why bother to get educated as we've got a great welfare state that'll provide all your needs.
I've met a lot of people here who hate education then struggle to find jobs even working in budget supermarkets like Lidl or Aldi, then complain they can't afford anything (except the obligatory multipack cans of lager and endless cigarettes, Sky TV, daily trip to the bookies, etc) and that life just isn't fair and that there aren't enough opprtunities (despite millions coming here from abroad and making good careers for themselves).
And this is what we get right across the country.. Toughest Villages In Britain 2/5 - YouTube
I work with a lot of people from India, Africa and Eastern Europe and they (generally) have a much better attitude to education than us. As a country we've got lazy.. we really need to get our act together if we want to be successful in the future.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

United States is the same way. Not going to get into the politics of it all, but many of the uneducated people here would love America to become an official welfare state, so that they can be bums on the government's dime.
Education is the way to go, but not in the way Vunic was describing - at the cost to the child.
