| 1628231896592162819 | @SHnat_DPT @davidmcraney Will do- probably after my upcoming vacation though. I just get frustrated with patients thinking a systolic BP of 185 or 175 is "normal" and then getting angry when I alert their doc per policy (but mostly safety!). I can only advise so much in the time allotted | 0 |

| 1626230875330600960 | Still marvelling over this concept, days later. It's weirdly helping with all sorts of internal reluctance. Such a gift - if you speak to her, @davidmcraney, tell her she's the best. https://t.co/ICo7aJmJoa | 6 |

| 1626961629991559171 | @davidmcraney Hair. Braiding can take hours, cornrows, twists, straightening, washing, blow drying, curling… and just worrying about it😄 There were a few memorable styles but nothing worth the time/ effort/ money/ opportunity cost. | 4 |

| 1626687870084829208 | @BillyM2k @davidmcraney Awww, I was part of Kevin Smith's message boards (both his own board and the "other board" for a few years, and while I might not remember the specific conversations all that well, the general friends I made and the events we created/coopted are super strong in my memories. | 2 |
| 1626689020569833473 | @davidmcraney High school is what I spent a vast amount of time in, with the fewest memories.I remember very little, and most of what I do remember is teenage (unrequited) love.Those years would have been much better spent volunteering for some different non-profit projects, I am sure. | 2 |
