I would simply take my business elsewhere. I'll be goddamned* if someone who works for me will tell me what to do.
*Some Christians are offended by that word, if so my apology. It just fit. Realize that I use it very rarely and used it because of that.
It might not be as easily done as said for some, sorry about that too, but realize that once one considers their rights more important than their life, there is no going back.
I borrowed one of those BP meters and checked, I believe that I did not have a buzz at the time. It came out 120/80 which is borderline, but not worth doing anything about. I'd have to check see if there is an effect. Perhaps in me I can isolate it, for example I have gone days just recently as it's "dry" lateley. However I have developed a tolerance level for typical aggravations and so forth, so maybe some weekend I'll try, check it first, burn then check it again.
Hell we might find another use for the stuff. Like glaucoma. I think I made a slight mistake before my last eye exam, burned. It is very possible that it can slew the results of a glaucoma test. Yes I do go to an optometrist from time to time, as my vision is something like 20/400 uncorrected.
But as my situation might relate to the thread, if I were diagnosed with borderline glaucoma and advised of the fact, I would surely go down there after a fattie for another test. See if it does any good and go from that point. I am not there yet.
There are other cases. A buddy of mine had bad pneumonia, to the point where they put drain tubes in his lungs and got a hell of alot of fluid out. He could've died. Well he wants me to bring him some Mother nature. This guy has tubes in his lungs and is hooked up to all kinds of tubes, IVs and whatnot, I made the decision that it would not be a good idea and refused flat out. While criminal culpability did enter my mind, I did not base my decision on that. If he suffered internal injuries because of it, or maybe even died, that was not my intent. He was already getting a bunch of morphine as it was, I was thinking about that he could've torn himself up on the inside and never knew it. Reread the words "never knew it". Nope, I don't think so.
Though it may look like it at times, Mama din't raise any fools.
At any rate, one of these Saturdays or something, I'll see if I can remember to try it out, borrow the BP machine, test, burn then test again. I'll do it in a very calm environment, alone if I can swing that. Of course then maybe I'll try another one and test again :-). We want to be thorough here no ?
These cheapo BP meters have a drawback, you have to hold your arm a certain way. Whatever the readings I will endevor to make sure my posture and everything is as identical as possible. In this case I think the comparative numbers would mean alot more than the absolute numbers.
In fact it might be interesting to do this say, before and after eating (or copping the munchies whichever the case may be). In fact maybe even run again with the introduction of a few beers. Sorry I am not willing to do anything stronger these days, but I could just imagine what coke or something like that would do.Speaking of coke, how about Coke ? Yes Coca Cola, or something eaten or drank that contains alot of sugar. I am also unwilling to try that as I don't use sugar. Perhaps someone else can delve into that part of the study.
I wonder if even cigarettes might not have some effect. There are plenty of examples of people becoming bitchy and irritated when they quite the regular tobaccie.
