I’ve been hypotensive (oooo big fancy word) my entire life. As a teenager, I DID black out a couple times after standing up too fast. Doesn’t happen so much any more. Thank gawd! Imagine not being able to stand… couldn’t wait for the bus, couldn’t wash the dishes (Wait, that could be a good thing), couldn’t wait on line for tickets to see The Mummy III, and certainly couldn’t hitchhike my way across the country.

it’s better to walk around squares coz you can’t just walk around circles, like you can’t just stand.

Can we just trade a few pints of blood?

Also you should start carrying around a salt lick. Or a salt wheel for hamsters. Put it on a string and wear it like a necklace. When asked about it just say, “Doctor’s orders.”

that’s coz you are tiny and a vegetarian. that’s why you got low blood pressure. (erm…ok, i’m not a doctor but i like to make up my own philosophy and all)

Youth is wasted on the Young. Medication wasted on the Old. Those in between eat salt and hop on one foot.

Melissa: Standing is harder than you think. IT LOOKS EASY, but it’s not. People can pass out from it.

Ramon: It is unclear. I mean I’d do it for free I just love standing so much.

Sandra V: Yeah fainting can be caused by low blood pressure (or like shock at seeing something I suppose, I’d probably faint seeing a wombat they are so cute). She said salt would help. Water too. My diet could use more salt and fat anyway. I am in an awesome position.

The Sylvan Learning Center now has a new instructor in standing, MD. Annie Choi! Or would standing only require a D.D.S. ?

oK, reading this made me almost pass out- from laughing.
And I was trying to laugh behind my hand so I don’t get fired-
but laugh I did.
I’ll try not to just stand.
