No, really!
Edited: So I'm listening to the news about these women that left the US and left Britain to become Isis wives and Isis Fighters.

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of payment cards that were designed in the 1950s.

nov 2014 - wound on ankle appeared.
oct 2018 - finally healed up
Wound was a "venous stasis ulcer" caused by high blood pressure. I didn't have high blood pressure until I started taking a prescription called "phentermine" for weight loss.
