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.

Today Trump had invited us to “Fun in Cleveland”
wow wallace is a real piece of work. Manafort is unflappable. that was great.
I pass by the old Emery’s when I visit my step mother. Brings back memories. I use to cross Silver Creek to get ice cream back in the my junior high days.
Good Evening Kit cat! Just checking in and watching the rerun - took a LONG time lunching, removing shutters from the cottage and chopping up the rhubarb patch! It’s a BIG patch!
Lisinopril is really bad about causing a dry cough. Went for months with it with multiple tests before a doctor asked about it, said stop taking it and cough was gone.
lol that’s hilarious!
Well, then why did we ALL stay on the Train instead of making a field trip to Cleveland I might ask?
Ahhh, but Cruz DOES have a path. It’s called a second ballot and getting people loyal to you in place as designated Trump delegates.
He didn’t say anything about the path being an honest one.
We should carry our horns/bugles to Cleveland.
He may need two Chiefs kid staff. One for AM and another for PM
GOSH,
This is without a doubt Medical Central !!!!!!!!!
LOL
Any other issues I might have I’ll have to throw it out there for you-all to make a determination as to how I am to proceed with better health. LOL

Good question. Not only lisinopril, but some other ACE inhibitors cause this type of cough too. For me it was Vasotec (enalapril) that had me about to cough my head off.
Switched to Diovan, and all was well. Now Diovan is available as generic valsartan, which makes my pocketbook much happier.
All you from Texas need to remind him.
