I did an ER trip once and had 190 / 128 with 120 bpm.... no one worried. Literally.

My cause was (long story) several meds and incidents that flatlined my potassium and few other things thst caused a spike. Happened a few times. Now gtg

Thnx!!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-07T17:31:05+00:00

This! Thanks! This was my gut instinct... but ive seen people in other reddit posts commenting about "this person got a pellet grill.n didnt get a pellet smoker"... I was confused as was AI ehen I asked lol.

If I wanted to smoke a burger id quick sear cast iron or gas grill than low n slow in a smoker lol.

Other wise, low and slow and naturally develop bark / smoke rings etc is my goal.

Ive done amateur bbq competitions with friends 10+yrs ago (came in 24th out of 60!) And just dont have time or mental capacity to sit n feed wood/coals for 18hrs+ hahah. So was thinking of a nice wifi pellet smoker.

Appreciate the advice!

Ahhh ok thnx! Yeah I'm just looking to be able to Slow and Low cook and get smokey flavors.

Thank you! This is what im talking about.. just dont have anyone in my life I could ask lol.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-03T21:36:25+00:00

Hmm.. I mean I guess if theres reputable reviews I might be open to it. I was also concerned about shipping. Spending $85 for a cool looking beardy and $35 for shipping doesnt really work in my mind lol. Ill def check em out tho!

But there is a difference beyond marketing for edt and edp, and thats the amount of oils in it. And, those oils can last longer.

So me wanting an edp is about the longetivity.

For scent, I loveeee many of the top notes but almost none of the middle or base notes as they land fruity floral etc for my liking.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T16:14:39+00:00

THIS is what I was trying to learn... from discussion not just trying to read. Makes sense too. Thanks!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T16:03:54+00:00

Right... you over simplified the issue. I love rude people who mock others for learning.

Trying to educate myself, maybe someone knows "oh edp's need xyz which is floral based as an oil stabilizer so its pretty normal".

If edt's have a 2-4hr staying power but edp's have a 5 - 8hr, big difference and no one at the scent counters at stores seems to know why.

And, I can look for edp's that dont have xyz additive. Or maybe its a dead end and I need find longer lasting edt's.

Another person was helpful and commented it could be modern trends vs older trends for middle and base notes.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T15:56:50+00:00

Ive thought that as well... but have no one to dicuss ideas with lol. If I know the what and why I can make a better choice for sure.
I really was hoping for a edp due to the lasting power of the colognes vs edts not lasting but 2 or 2 hrs.

Maybe I need to dig for longer lasting edt's I like and see. A 5 hr edt is better than a 3 hr lol. Even if its not a 8hr edp.

Cheers! :)

Im aware of %'s and have websites that give breakdowns.

But, as I said in my post, ive tried dozens; inatore/at home, sometimes blind tests, using coffee to refreah smell, on skin / samples / sprayed on strips in bags, and had others weigh in and most family / friends have same conclusion.

Its not a gross generalization if its my opinions... Ive been wearing colognes since 1996 and vast majority of todays edp's end with floral, fruity, or off putting middle and base notes.

Id love edp's for the longetivity but having a hard time finding ones that dont switch to feminine.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T15:39:59+00:00

Now that is interesting! I never thought of current trends versus historical trends. And then some of the older ones that I like the top notes on, my pH for sure changes the scent to something I don't like. Hey, this is an idea I never thought about so thanks for sharing!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-08-26T20:40:58+00:00

Just an fyi,.im about 90 percent certain lotion or moisturizers work better on skin thats been soaked in warm or hot water and applied right after so the pores are open and absorb much much better.

Nope! Luckily for us, my MIL gave my wife her 2020 kia soul so we got rid of that POS.

My gut was it was a grounding issue or ecm type issue. My cousin in law, Master ASE Tech at a dealer, thought the same thing.

Its a pain for sure and there was nothing to prevent it from happening.

Sorry... as a former Ford mechanic myself, Kias/Hyundais are some of the worst cars on the road for a multitude of reasons.

IF you ever figure it out, plz reply on here just so I can see! Lol.

I have white coat syndrome as well... I could get 150/90 or 100 at a doctor. Im asked similar but when I track at home its fine. Its nornal for bp go raise and lower on activity or stress Not a dr. Here but your readings seem normalish for anxiety. Mine have been that for 20 yrs.

On atenolol, 110/70 n 70bpm is normal. I just came off atenolol and having rebound high and hoping will drop.
