Right Side Network ^

HAGERSTOWN, MD

Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.

In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

I’m having none of the side affects other than cough but the pollen is terrible out! I spent yesterday and today outside longer than usual and I thought it just might be that.

Hillary’s cough sounds more serious and labored. Can’t put my finger on it...

Hellary’s voice sounds TERRIBLE!! I mentioned to hubby (on our drive home, today) that it’s likely due to her constant hacking.

Hubby said it’s because she’s always yelling ;-)

Thanks both of you. I’ve been putting a doctor appointment off because I didn’t want to be around sick people. I’ll just make my appointment the earliest in the morning.

I would seriously consider speaking to the Doc about it.
Losartan might be a better fit for you.

The thing about Lisinopril and many other RX meds is the side effects don't just happen over night, they tend to take an extended period of time to develop, thus making it hard to associate.

Thanks, I never caught it before. I kept thinking, these guys aren’t stupid or incompetent for the most part, they are being bought. :)

You haven’t been here for quite some time it seems...

They moved the entire building to Corydon several years ago. Its there in Corydon but it’s not the old Emory’s. Owner retired and moved to Florida and the new owner just couldn’t make the ice cream the same. It didn’t stay open long.
