My disappearance...

While I am sure I was hardly missed, I had to leave the boards for a while (almost 3 months) due to my job getting nuts, which put my blood pressure into a very dangerous area. i have two kids and didn't want to drop dead, but couldn't take a leave from my job because the sh*t was really hitting the fan there. Anyway, my apologies as I had a sales thread where I had not sent out some of the invoices and I just didn't do it before disappearing because I did not want to get anyone's money and then take forever to ship their stuff because I was getting home from work at 2 a.m. and passing out. I just did not even want to come here to check my messages because 2 minutes can turn into 2 hours and I have an addictive problem with these boards. Needed to temporarily quit cold turkey. I have not even been to a comic shop in 3 months. Anyway, things have cooled down at work, my BP is back down to 120/80 from 160/120 and my overlords love me again, so the BP was mainly stress related and not just because i am grossly overweight. Still broke and have a pizzed off wife, but such is life. Anyway, I'm back, but I don't think i can ever spend as much time here as I used to.

That stress and blood pressure is no joke. Mine is normally 130 over 90. Last weekend I had to travel to where my family is to put my dad in a VA home. It was very stressful. At one point I felt lite headed and my heart was racing.

 

Took my BP and it was 175/125. Scary.

175/125 is getting into heart attack range. 160/120 was my peak thankfully, i cut coffee out for a little bit (which makes it tough to work a 15 hour day...). i have been very lucky to be in my 40s, weigh over 300 pounds and still normally have a BP of 120/80 and no diabetes (knock on wood), but stress pushes me into bad numbers

I need to fix a lot of things in my life (diet and exercise being way up on that list), but other than my kids' fish, no pets in my foreseeable future. I have a three year old boy. He's a lot like a puppy.

I can agree with that! :roflmao: Welcome back to the addiction boards!
