Reply to comment by Mister_McGreg in TIL that the Hemlock Water Dropwort is the most poisonous plant in the UK. Its poison constricts the muscles, causing death by asphyxia, which also causes a rictus like death grin. Use of this plant in Phoenician Sardinia for executions is the origin of the term "Sardonic Grin". by AspireAgain
Full semicircle.

Star Trek: Enterprise, but actually I don't even have to mention it.

I haven't seen a couple of my favorite "movie industry" films mentioned, soo..Bowfinger, a broad parody of the industry, and For Your Consideration, a subtle parody, both very entertaining and incisive in their own ways and atypical depictions of the Hollywood scene.

Ive tried some compression stickings but had a real problem getting them on due to limited use of my hands (arthritis and advanced dupuytrens) and herniated cervical discs. The socks were probably not the right size so I'm pr8babky going to try again uto get my leg BP up a bit. But it seems like the fatigue is mostly the cause of my shaky legs when standing for more than a couple of minutes, complicated by general lack of balance, apparently related to major head injuries years ago and occasional bouts of vestibular vertigo when changing my head position too quickly. I use a cane and a chair when going out but am mostly bedridden due to the weakness and fatigue, which only makes it worse. But I have cable and a fun game I'm invested in, so I've got that giung for me, which is nice. ;) I appreciate your spending the time to chat with me, and I posted a couple more comments elsewhere with more detail. Short version is that I'm 69, just falling apart and pretty much OK with it.

Thank you for the suggestion, I just read the Wikipedia article on entresto and will bring it up with my doctor next time. I sure could use less fatigue since I've got a balance disorder in addition to the heart failure and HPB and I get really wobbly when standing. My biggest worry is falling, which I've done numerous times.
