Yep, Republicans in North Carolina are relentless in trying to take away your rights and bringing legislation that is horrible for regular people…

Hey everybody!  I know it’s been a few days since I’ve posted: but I’m still looking into the older posts to convert them as well as working on something new!  I’m working on my other social media platforms to try to incorporate them better into the mix.

My thought is to begin introducing videos that I have either on my site or a playlist that I created for discussion.  Also, I’m hoping that along with checking out the video, you’ll consider following me on that platform as well. 😁

About Your Blood Pressure

 

As you know, I like to explore all types of topics and information.  Today, we’ll take a quick look at information about blood pressure. First, let’s explore blood and what it does.  ¹Blood has two primary functions.  It delivers oxygen; and carries away carbon dioxide and other waste. ,

²When the heart beats, it circulates blood by pushing it through the blood vessels.  The amount of
