It's called White Coat Syndrome. One thing to do is use a blood pressure machine at home and message the doctor with your readings. And of course prior to doing that, bring the machine to a doctor's appointment so the doctor can ensure its accuracy.

Turkey, as it appears on appears on a platter, has lots of white (breast) meat. To breed to that end means that turkeys cannot (ahem) do it naturally. So bring on the alternative use of the turkey baster. On another note, wild turkeys have a vocabulary of up to 35 different calls such as one...

Of course I have no idea whether he had sons or daughters, but let's just say he has an adult daughter who is married and has school-aged children. So she does what she can in terms of helping with logistics, of care for her mother but she can't permanently move home, she probably has a job and...

Here on the other side of the Pond, Perry Mason was filmed in black and white which lent a certain air to the show. As a test, they did exactly one episode in color which only served to demonstrate the fact that black and white was better for that genre.

Yes, all of those factors can affect your blood pressure!!

Well, here across the Pond, it's really hard to image eating baked beans for breakfast. BUT when I was growing up, there was hot dogs, baked beans, and (yes, warm) applesauce. That was lunch, every Saturday -- for years.

When I had my wisdom teeth removed, the dentist dug and strained over one side of my mouth which swelled up immediately. After he finished, he made the statement, "Now I know how to do it." Later on, he did the other side quickly and neatly since he knew "how to do it."

This is what I think. First of all, Hobbo was not the first character to be shoehorned in. It was Smiler. He was introduced as a one-off character who was then made permanent due to the fact that his character fit in. He would pop in and out of various story lines and gradually became accepted...

Well, I don't miss the fact that faces were always green.

When Kathy Staff had to leave due to health, they "sent" Nora to Australia. That was a most expedient way explaining the disappearance of a character. It's possible that they were unable to have Wesley be sent off to parts unknown because Gordon Wharmly was under treatment, did not have the...

My father "flew a desk" during WWII.
