Well, I'm back from the Docs. A little wiser I suppose. I, being of a portly stature, have some health problems related to having such a fine physique. I know being big boned or hefty is supposed to be some kind of bad thing. I look at it as a deterrent against superficial women. The doc always gives a little speech. This time he said," We can take care of this blood pressure problem in two ways - you do something about it or I do(meaning meds)." So I was able to get by without meds this time, but in 6 weeks I go back to the docs so I need it to go down. It was 140/110, which I guess is high. At my last checkup when I had lost 15 pounds and was exercising my BP was 128/78. I guess since I have gained it all back(thanks Jarad) all my old problems have come back. The doc also gave me some prescriptions for my psoriasis on my scalp. Apparently I have been scratching a couple of areas on my head so much that I have been loosing some hair there. I told him I need handcuffs to stop from scratching so he gave me some cortisol and medicated shampoo. That should clear that up. The key to good blood pressure seems to be diet and exercise. My doc suggested I wake up early and go to the gym before I go to work. Did I just hear an oink coming from the sky? I used to go before I went to bed at midnight. When I was on the subway diet I was able to go right after work around 5. I suppose I could start it up again. I think I will try the hypnosis diet this time. I seem to remember a study done that said it was effective. I just have to finish my chocolate/cookie dough ice cream with chocolate syrup before I start dieting. Maybe I should go to msn.com and apply to be on "The Biggest Loser 3." I can see it now - "Work it Brian, Work it!" I just have to remember to cry whenever I loose a pound. They cry so much on that show it should be called "The Biggest Cryer". I lost a pound WAAAH.

"Guess what I ate!"
"An ostrich burger?"
"No, a $29,000 piece of cake. Peterman got it at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor auction. It's the most romantic thing I've ever eaten."
