    No. I have taken lisinopril for over 20 years with no issue. It was hydralazine.

    What is something that has changed in your lifetime that you personally refuse to change?

    Unlisted telephone number. Known as a blocked ID on a cell phone. Both my landline and my cell phone do not display my number when I call someone. Only time my phone number if shown is if I call 9-1-1 or a toll free number.

    Do you have more or less friends than when you were a kid?

    More. When you are almost 67, you pickup a few friends along the way.

    Medicare Wellness Checkup

    Yes, the Affordable Healthcare Act has it's downside. It was a life saver for people who could not get or could not afford coverage. But many who could, it has made it harder and more expensive to get care.

    What Don't you go to your nearest for?

    Mechanic. Surrounded by repair shops, but used the same shop 6 miles away for 20 years. Pizza. Prefer a local mom and pop pizza place over the chains. Coffee. Only go 2 miles, but I pass 3 Starbucks and 2 other independent coffee places to get there.

    Medicare Wellness Checkup

    Oh, I had 4 blood tests that were mandated for my Medicare Wellness check. All were tests that my Nephrologist had just done, but Medicare required they be done again Plus those crazy questions. Yes, I have throw rugs in my house! It was an hour exam, I have NEVER had an hour long...

    Why did meeting sports or any other celebrities start going downhill?

    Can't speak to Indy racing, but media usually get their interviews before a performance with comedians and musicians. Shot an interview with Shaun Cassidy before a concert. He wasn't really into it but clearly knew he had to do it. On the flip side, I shot an interview with Juliet Prowse...

    Why did meeting sports or any other celebrities start going downhill?

    During the writers strike, I saw an interview with an actor who kind of summed up his situation honesty. He was well paid for the roles he did, but residual checks soon fall to very small levels and then stop. He charges for public appearance and "Cameo" personal messages because he has to...

    Earliest Flight From Port Canaveral

    Maybe. Disney used to say nothing before noon, not sure if they still do. Some people have made 11 am flights. We BARELY made a 12:35 pm flight. Disney did everything right, we were at the airport by 9:15 am, boarding pass in hand and in line for security by 9:30 am but the wait for...

    Toilet height

    I don't have an answer but we put in comfort height (16.5 inch high) toilets when we remodeled. We stayed at a brand new Marriot a couple of weeks ago and was surprised they had standard 14.5 inch high) toilets. Felt like I was falling when I sat down!

    How Accurate is Genetic Testing 23 and Me?

    It is interesting what may have been a brief interaction decades ago, can have such huge impacts on families. But at least for me, DNA testing shows just how common those situations really are.

    How Accurate is Genetic Testing 23 and Me?

    And sometimes no DNA test is needed. A friend's boss......who was 85 at the time........got a call from a 67 year old guy who said "I might be your son, according to family folklore". He told him who his mother was, and that he had been put up for adoption, and said he would like to meet...

    How Accurate is Genetic Testing 23 and Me?

    That will be nearly impossible. How do you decide whose rights have priority? The parent promised secrecy, or the child who may need their DNA history due to a potentially fatal health condition that has been passed on? As has been mentioned, in many case the DNA technology did not exist...

    How many times have you thought about moving home but didn't?

    Twice. In 1992 shortly after our second child was born. Needed a 4th bedroom, and wanted a 3 car garage. Looked at 30 houses and found that getting those two things was going to cost $100,000 more than our home was worth, not including moving expenses. Adding a bedroom on our house cost...

    Riesling Bottle Pricing Through MDR

    They may, I am not up to speed on the packages. Just noting that not everyone drinks a bottle a night. We only bought 4 bottles because we bought a bottle of champagne for New Year's Eve....otherwise 3 would have likely been enough, with maybe a by the glass one night.

    How Accurate is Genetic Testing 23 and Me?

    And that can be so sad because so often, the "event" that prompted the fallout happened before most of those folks were born.
