  1. I'm happy you're getting things straightened out. I too had very high BP after the heart attack, the highest reading was 210/140. My cardiologist did open heart surgery, then the next year 2 long stents. I'm still on 2 BP meds, but now have the opposite problem, low BP and low heart rate; BP is 117/50 pulse has been as low as 42, so he halved one BP med and now considering stopping that drug entirely.

    My point is follow the Dr. directions exactly, that's why we pay them the big bucks.

  2. Most "modern" TV's have in the settings a way to center the picture on the screen; likewise you can off-set the screen intentionally to reveal the X.

    TV's also have different mode settings, normal, zoom, etc Make sure your TV is set on normal/standard, or whatever is the smaller screen. I know when I have our TV set on partial zoom or zoom parts of the picture are missing.

    I can't say how the 'cheap heat' works but, I am clearly in the no propane camp.    The 240 volt mini split should work on a 50 amp RV service just using the two conductors no neutral.    The 14-50 plug is 240 with the center tap neutral, just wire the mini to the two incomming legs. 

    Why  not use the neutral? For many years 240VAC MH's(Newell, Prevost,Foretravel,and others)without an LP system have been  built and used in RV parks without issues.

    And both  are quite annoying. They also seem to find out they are low on power between 1am and 4am on a Saturday or Sunday night. At least that's what usually happens for me.

    Amen!  And it's not like you can put off replacing the battery until after coffee next morning.

  5. Greg you will need to obtain an international driver permit from the country that issued your present driver license even though some states in the U.S.A. only require your present driver license..  https://www.usa.gov/travel-to-within-us

     

     

    bruce t, most U.S.A. states require insurance companies to notify the state dept. of motor vehicles if liability insurance is discontinued on a vehicle, including the VIN=vehicle identification number. That system is not 100% fail-proof but it works.

    I didn't realize that. Is this true of all the pictures posted? Like on IRV2.

    No, not exactly. the irv2.com Vbulletin software has a feature allowing you to directly upload a picture from your computer. It is however limited for data size. under the reply box, click on go advanced to use that option..

  7. lappir is exactly right. For instance, The largest health care employer in Indiana is IU Health Inc.(not connected with Indiana University-a state run higher education institution).  They own/control most of the hospitals in the state and have hired doctors from private practice, and bought specialty practices, to consolidate health care in the state. This is touted as reducing expenses to the general public.

    It is now very difficult to see specialists I've been seeing for many years. IU Health hires many Nurse Practitioners to see patients, who in turn make reports to the doctor specialists.

    Meanwhile doctors they hired are leaving at an alarming rate to find jobs elsewhere due to the low pay they are receiving.  IU Health assigned me 3 different kidney specialists, I only saw one, one time. I never got a chance to see the other two, they left IU Health before my appt.

    The most recent facts I've heard say IU Health now has a financial surplus of ~$12,000,000,000.

    Don't blame others or the system. We have all become addicted to technology. Many folks simply haven't learnt to think for themselves. It's not a new trend. IQ has been around since Adam and Eve. Schools are adverse to teaching critical thinking or simple logic.

    Anyone wanting proof of the decline of IQ only has to look at our politicians!

     

    I'd laugh if it wasn't so true. The sad part is, most of congress are lawyers.
