@MedeaVanamonde My favorite aunt, Margaret. Wonderful, sweet woman with strong sense of morality. We are celebrating her life this summer, which will be nice, but ... I miss her.

@webhat Thank you so much. You remind me a bit of my late aunt, which is a very high compliment. 🫂

@TheBreadmonkey Thank you, Ben. This getting old thing is getting old.

@donthatedontkill Merci, mon ami. 🫂

@Helenisenough Thank you, Helen. It's a little all-at-once, you know? 🫂

@keira_reckons Thank you, Keira. I had a good meeting with my neurologist today, which made me feel better. 🫂

@h2onolan Thank you, friend. I try, but it's hard. Wild times this side of middle age, I guess. 🫂

@spytfyre Thank you, Spytfyre. Are you really 3 degrees to Kevin Bacon? I think I'm 2, so we're at most 5 degrees from each other. (I don't remember who I know who knows Kevin -- thanks, brain squish -- but it's probably my brother-in-law, who knows everyone.) 🫂

That sounds more like clinical depression, hon. A symptom or separate issue from the idiopathic hypertension thingie?

@anathema_device Ha, that's a long-running issue for sure. And I have found it creeping back. Sure, let's throw that one in for free.

@spiegelmama
This will sound off the wall and out of nowhere but do you like dill pickles? If you do try eating 4 or 5 spears next time you are feeling really down and see what happens.

@bobkmertz Well, I do like pickles. I'll try that - why not? Thanks, Bob!
