He is feeling better. His Blood pressure dropped to 85/59 and he collapsed. Scared me to death! Thankfully he is okay now. It was a medication problem. He is in his late eighties so we worry even more so.
Thinking of you and your dad Rae. Glad he is home again and that it was related to his meds and not something that would have required surgery or other difficult procedures over time. All the best to him.

Equate Chlortabs- When I am having trouble with allergies I need something to help give me relief. While in college several years ago a fellow student told me about an antihistamine called chlorpheniramine maleate. I tried this small yellow tablet and felt a lot of relief.While in Wal-Mart I found I could buy chlorpheniramine maleate by itself so I bought their brand. This way I take only what I want not what allergy companies want to mix together with the chlorpheniramine maleate and then advertise under some pricey allerg...
Our house, which was built several decades ago, has a basement that is partially underground. Old houses built like this usually have some dampness in the basement so it is best to keep dry as possible. I use a dehumidifier to help keep the basement dry. Dehumidifiers help to clean the air and protect furniture and other items. They also help with allergies by keeping mold from happening. Recently my old dehumidifier quit working so I had to get a new one. I looked at several and found the Frigidaire 50 pint dehumidifier. It has ...
Flowbee haircutting system-Thius is a haircutting system that helps you cut your own hair. Whats great about it: No itchiness after haircut feeling. :) What is reccomended is that you get the haircut you want and then you use the Flowbee to maintain that haircut saving yourself money. The way this works is you hook the hose end to a sweeper with a hose on it and as it cuts your hair it goes into the sweeper. The website actually sells a small hand vacuum to go with the flowbee or you use a sweeper with a hose. I like this product...

I saw the Cordless Swivel Sweeper G2 advertised on TV. I had one of the original Cordless Swivel Sweepers but it had begun to wear out.

This product intrigued me as I would love to spend less time doing laundry.The product is called Purex Laundry Sheets. These sheets are covered in what feels like dried liquid detergent and at the top of the sheet it has a green strip.The way to use this product is you fill the washer up with some water put in one or two Purex Laundry Sheets depending on the size of the load of laundry you doing. This sheet is a substitute for...
Recently I began to notice the rooms in our house looked like they needed some fresh paint. So while shopping and looking at paints we came upon a color for the trim in one room that we thought would be a nice change of pace. Now all we had to do was find the right paint to go with the color. We ended up choosing WalMart's ColorPlace Interior Latex Semi-Gloss Wall & Trim Paint. One of the reasons we picked this paint is it can be tinted to just about any color you can imagine whether it be a dark color or a light color or...

"Angel Glockenspiel"
Angel Glockenspiels are fun musical instruments. I had to take a couple of music classes where I had to learn how to read music and play glockenspiels and recorders. So I bought an inexpensive glockenspiel in hopes it would help me learn music a little easier.This one looks more like a young person's musical instrument but can be used by anyone and was marketed as being for any beginner. It comes in an aqua case. In side is 2 yellow plastic mallets. The 25 keys are metal and include both flats and sharps. The keys are l...
Sealy Posturepedic pillows- These are nice pillows. I got these at JC Penneys when I got tired of buying cheap low quality pillows. These have 3 year warranty.

The iside is made of a polyester foam inner core surrounded by polyfiber coils. These Sealy Posturepedic pillows are hypoallergenic. I like Sealy Posturepedic pillows because they are, as advertised, durable. Th...

Calore Ceramic Heater: I like this small space heater. I have had it through two winters and it and another small heater like it keep my basement warmer. It has a great safety feature and that is the button on the bottom has to be pused for it to work. So if it is knocked over it turns off. It also has a melt resistant cord and the plug is also heat resistent. The cord is six feet long. This cord needs to be longer. It has two dials on it. One is the thermostat and the other is has off, fan low or high settings. 950 and 1500 w...

It supports DVD+R/+RW for playing and recording, DVD-R/-RW for playing and recording and CD-R for playing. The formats it supports are DVD video, Video CD, MP3 and CD-DA. Some of the other featur...
I am always looking for a good pair of pants that are comfortable to work in. I work with children and I need to be able to move around easily. So while I was shopping at Wal-Mart I saw a pair of pants with a sign above them saying White Stag Boot Cut Pants. They come in colors such as khaki, gray, black, indigo blue jean, or light blue denim. The khaki, gray and black are made from cotton with probably a little bit of spandex to give them a little stretch. The indigo and light blue are made from cotton de...
HP Pocket media drive- another gift I got for Christmas that I really love is a Hewlett Packard Pocket Media Drive. When I bought a new computer it came with a slot for one of these pocket media drives, but no actual drive to put in it. The more I read about this hard drive the more I thought this is something I could really use to protect my data and save me time in the long run.This pocket media drive is 160 gb. This means I can store my music, documents and pictures on there and when I need to reformat my computer all my infor...
Kraft’s Jet-Puffed Chocomallows are chocolate flavored marshmallows. The ingredients for chocomallows are corn syrup, sugar, modified corn starch, water, cocoa, gelatin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate (whipping aid), artificial flavor, artificial color (red 40, yellow 5, blue 1), emulsifiers (vegetable mono-and diglycerides). They have about 25 calories in each marshmallow. A serving size is 4 pieces for a total of 100 calories. In my opinion these are not the prettiest food items but t...
George Socks- I went shopping for socks recently and found Wal-Mart contains a ton of different brands. I also know some of their brands are not great quality socks. One of the things I like in a sock is thiness. I don't like thick socks instead I like trouser socks that are thinner. As I was shopping I discovered a brand that I've never tried and they seemed reasonably priced. This brand is called George. One thing I like about these socks is that they come five to a package (for six dollars) with three of them being Nav...
Non Drowsy Dramamine has long been a favorite of mine. Its an over the counter medicine for settling my stomach or to help stop dizzy spells. My aunt was the first to give this to me when I was young and I was sick. My doctor is always prescribing prescription strength meclizine for me which is what Non Drowsy Dramamine contains. Non Drowsy Dramamine contains 25 mg of meclizine hydrochloride. The regular Dramamine has some other ingredient.This over the counter medicine is advertised to relieve motion sickness for twe...
Sorry about your dad Rae, I hope he gets better soon.
Oh... family responsibilities can be time consuming. Definitely more important that SR!
He is feeling better. His Blood pressure dropped to 85/59 and he collapsed. Scared me to death! Thankfully he is okay now. It was a medication problem. He is in his late eighties so we worry even more so.
Thinking of you and your dad Rae. Glad he is home again and that it was related to his meds and not something that would have required surgery or other difficult procedures over time. All the best to him.
Thanks everyone!
I am so glad hat he is back home...
Thinking about you and your dad.
It's great that you can be with him when he need you.
