Re 140/90 - i thought that used to be the target for older people, like a good 10 plus years ago, but then they said that was too high and to go for 120/80. I remember because my mom was at 140/90 and i was not happy with it. But then she was very very very tightly wound. Drinkin an gamblin and stayin out all night. You know, just your typical italian granmama!
