I keep hearing differing methods!! I'd like to know how I'm suppose to sit?

To be clear: I am taking my own blood pressure & was urged to do so & keep track on the advice of my doctor.

Which is a myth?:

• Can't have eaten/drank anything for the last half hour
• feet flat on the floor
• lying down but sitting up
• back against the chair
• don't cross your legs/ankles
• only use your left arm
• hand facing upward
• hand facing downward
• keep your arm down
• keep your arm raised to the level of your chest/heart

What's the correct way????

Anything else I should know? I keep getting inconsistent results, and it's stressing me out.

Thank you.

So sorry for the blurry photo... but would anyone help to identify the make/model of this vehicle based on this photo?

I've been trying, but I'm stumped. Not a car person, unfortunately. ):

EDIT: Thank you everyone!!! You've been an awesome help!!

To start: no, there are no "trusted male figures" in our lives. My brothers & father are all conservative, and I DO NOT trust them to properly explain things without shame and/or religious context.

My son knows the basics of reproduction, but I've never really explained what's "normal" things for a teenage boy to go through.. mainly because I don't know!

I've definitely put it off, so he's almost 14 and is much more physically mature than most of his peers (he's got hair in places, shaves his face regularly, etc.).. but I'm embarrassed to admit that I know next to nothing about anything else..

Could y'all help me out? What did you go through that he should know about? What should I know about?

Many thanks to anyone who can help. Please don't be unkind. Much appreciated.

EDIT: Thank you so much for all the advice so far!! Please keep it up!!

My son & I have very open communication & a very good relationship.

Want something unique? Maybe even one-of-a-kind? Check out some handmade items from independent artisans! (:

Thought we could use a community for folks who craft handmade goods.

Could be soap, food, sculptures, art, clothes, toys, and all kinds of wonderful stuff!

Hopefully we can get more artisans to join up, and folks who would like to purchase from & support independent artists & craftspeople from all around the world!

My mother was reminiscing about things we miss from the past. One thing she mentioned was Shocktarts. She loved Shocktarts! One of the few things she indulged in.

Recently, she got my nieces Christmas candy, and it included rainbow sour strips of some kind. Uncharacteristically, she ate a whole pack by herself.

I'd like to get some good sour candies. They have to actually be sour!!!!! Any recommendations welcome!

Although do note that candys whose main feature is "being sour" then fading after 4 seconds are not what I'm looking for.

Thank you! (:

Just as the title says.

I'm very anemic, and I've been struggling to address this. In the last week, I started taking iron supplements to address my fatigue, and things feel a bit.. strange.

I'm still tired, but I sometimes feel/am acutely aware of my heart beating?

Idk. Shouldn't take only a week to see/feel results, right?

Any insight?

(No easy access a doctor / medical professional at this time: American. Thank you.)

I sew clothes, bags, and stuffed animals.

I know that it's typically frowned upon to self-promote, but I could really use the help to sell my items.

If you know of an active community where it's okay to post a shop link & show off my clothes and items, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you!

This nearly destroyed him, though.

Beautiful creature.

I am not a tech person, but I cleaned out my secondhand PC today, and it took hours with the sheer amount of dust accumulation. The fans were nearly overloaded with it!!

Does a clean PC run better / faster than one filled with dust? Or is it more a matter of keeping the fans running easily? Or something else..? Idk, maybe I imagined it, but it seemed to boot much faster after cleaning. Could be wishful thinking!
