Given his head gear the medical tech is either fresh from the shower, straightening his hair, or anxious heāll be late to his job as chaffing dish tender at the Stampede Buffet.
She forgot to mention cleaning out the dessert buffet, also when Marlene and/or Verla stop by every day for coffee. YUP thatās almost all day. Wait till 9? when do they eat, 8?
High sugar levels donāt need sweets to get it there. They probably were at the buffet and decided to get the free checkup, then get the free stuff. I am running out of brain bleach. lol
You guys are being harsh on the Pennyās, they often eat sweets just once a day, they start in the morning and it goes until bed time. And that is why they have such a sweet disposition all the time.
I would say it is a good thing they got hooked on sugar, because it is just one step from alcohol in the body, so things could be much worse.
While todayās comic is truly funny as is typically the caseā¦. it is also a somewhat sad reflection on society. In regards to the Pennyās issues with high BP and high glucose, many, many of us in society are in much the same boat because (in my opinion) the oversaturation of our society with too calorie dense, too readily available, foods. I used to be significantly overweight and it took a very long time for me to really think through and realize that much of societyās norms in regards to eating were not helpful for me. I began to change my eating patterns to more whole foods (less calorie dense), and significantly decreased intake of high fat foods and processed (highly calorie dense) foods. It was difficult to do, as the other way of eating was more convenient and easier, but now I have a normal weight, and I actually eat more food in a day than I ever did when I was much heavier.
Back in the 70s, a womanās club I was in helped Huntington Beach with a city wide blood pressure screening. We were at a Tech Co, when this large woman came rushing in. Her Blood Pressure was something like 190/120. the Doc explained that she needed to check in with her doctor like today! She replied that she ādidnāt have timeā and rushed off again. Left us all speechless.Goes to show, if you are clueless, you havenāt a clue. The Pennys will never change and when one of them drops dead, the other will not guess why!
Iāll be getting results on my blood tests (since 3 months ago) next Monday. My doc is on vacation this week. The only change I made was dropping restrictions on wheat, and deciding to try for even lower fat intake.
Otherwise, my cholesterol had actually INCREASED as a vegetarian (our bodies create their own) and I am trying to do more frequent slow breathing exercises for my BP. I was usually around 170 to 180 when I started last Feb. It is lower, but not as much as I want (but I will NOT use meds).

The Pennys are responsible for putting hostess twinkies back in play.

The only reason theyāre there is due to the word āFreeā. Plus it looks like Burl is gonna make a move on the supply table.
