I want the election to be over and done.

[undeterred]

I want all Republicans to leave the country in sorrow.

1. Oh, they won't leave. They will just get nastier.

But when Obama gets elected, we can laugh at them. :)

2. I want to drop them in buckets of waste.

3. me too

this has been so stressful and we haven't even gotten to the debates yet. Sometimes I think I am going to have a stroke.

4. me too. I am taking a week off starting Saturday and having some fun with family

and friends. I know there will be conversations but it isn't the same is being addicted to this site.

good thing I do not have naturally occurring high blood pressure or I would have stroked two or three times by now

5. I had never had a problem

with high blood pressure before. The other day I was in the drug store and checked mine--it was through the roof. So I had a friend who is a nurse in training check it (I don't have health insurance) and she said I was in the danger zone.

I blame the election, my unemployment in the Bush economy, not having insurance etc etc.

Everything is just coming in at me at once and my body is screaming--I can't take it.

We need to get this over and get Obama inaugurated then I can relax and enjoy life again.

6. do take care of yourself.

There are a lot of things that can contribute to HBP besides stress..
I lost weight and mine went down from most folks' normal to the low normal I have had all my life.

Another secret cause of HBP is trouble in the kidney.

So we are in a couple of companion boats here:
unemployed in the Bush economy....check
stressed over the outcome.... check
I do have insurance, through my husband's employer which is a relief. It is more expensive than my old employer's plan but it covers us.
