I don't think I've mentioned the 4 leaf clover thingy...
All :spring: (& now into summer :p) I have been finding 4 leaf clovers. :wub: :thanks:
More accurately, they've been finding me cuz I sure cain't find one when I try. :crazyeyes:
So far 12 4-leafs. 10 of them pressed, 2 still in a shot glass with water.
And today....TODAY I found a holy 4-leaf (bug eaten :laugh:) and a FIVE leaf! :happydance:
It's pretty fun.
And yeah, I bought lottery tickets Saturday when I was out & :no: :spitcoffee:

Yes, I've had those plants before. :pie:
But in Nature Google says they occur 1 in every 10,000 leaves. Approximately. :laugh:
And 5 leaves are said to be 1 in a million! :cheer:
The 1st leaf for faith
2nd for hope
3rd for love
4th for luck
and the 5th...
wealth! :gstars:
Faith, hope & love are from the Bible passage I read in a friend's wedding years ago. Corinthians, I believe?
And for your information...I don't think I even use the word foible. :rofl: I did look it up tho.
As well as dwimmer (alternate spelling, easier to pronounce)
:magic:
Boy oh boy this Solstice was/is a doozy. :wtf: I use that word, :rofl:
According to the astropeeps we are in a brand new time. Nothing is to be the same.
So we gotted rain, but not enough. :sigh: I gots to water. :wiggle:
But it is a 'chilly' 57 this morning :shiver: and gonna be a beautiful day. "bliss:

She wanted to use chopsticks & flung a piece or 2 of food across the table :rofl:
and in our laughter & her foibles the waiter noticed & quickly rubber banded her a pair.
He said, "This is what we do for our children". :yes:
The clothespin thingy looks super cool tho. I'm gonna try that one first.

If you are :bliss: posting in the other thread there's no reason to stop :nono: Once upon a time this place generated 20 to 50 pages per day :faint: This server is/was cheap and I was always hitting quota limits and keeping threads under 300 posts kept the old MySQL server happy 'cuz our database is HUGE atleast for the hardware 15+ years ago :uhoh:
Then there were also a number of people who were trying to see/read the Daily Energy Report so I was always trying to git the title to be atleast slightly suggestive of it AND eventually a more or less quarterly/seasonal system has evolved :om:
Yeah it don't make much sense now :sigh: but it still :bump: s the google rating just a tad :yes: PLUS it took years for her to start amembering to does so I'm not stopping it :nono:
Anywho google likes blocks that share a common topic :bliss: but neve give up posting :bliss: just to conform to policy :therethere:

Friday :ghost:
It is now :cat: urday!
Only 7:30 am and we're up to 73F and 71% humidity. :heat: already.
I has plans to just stay quiet with occasional weeding, then a light dinner salad and fruit sort of day.
Some genealogy playing, and writing emails to new sister and cousin. That new sister. She is so uncannily like me. :wub:
Asiel, how be the gathering of tribe? :rainbow:
Sig, what scary new :sig: have you gots planned? How's Dad's garden doing?
:michafire: How are you holding up? Still the :brain: stuffs happening with hubby?

Seesters! :hi5: How wonderful to meet a genetic best friend/soulmate at this time. :yes:
The fambily gathering was loud. :rofl: 3-5 conversations excitedly going on at any one time. :rofl:
I went to the bathroom & from down the hall I just listened...and smiled. :)
I thanked Mom for hosting everyone & we laughed at how though this is Dad's fambily he was surely glad he didn't have to be there.
I dunno why, maybe cuz he was the baby...maybe cuz he was very different (yet not when it came to :heartbeat: ) but he woulda rather been dead than to be here this weekend in the midst of everyone.
But Mom deserves stars in her crown. :hail: She's worked her :butt: off getting ready, spent $100's of dollars on doof, & has graciously opened her home for us all. But Mom is a big advocate of fambily getting together at times OTHER than funerals. She always talks about how everybody drops everything & travels wherever when someone dies so why can't we do it when they are still alive. :check:
My seester is the only major :missing: piece. :sigh:
Funny you asked about Dad's gardens, Pan cuz just yesterday I was describing his veggie jails to Zen Aunt. :yes:
She has rambunctious :squirrel: that just like to mess with her I think. :rofl: Far, far more critter damage to her veggies than us & she only has half dozen or so potted peppers/tomatoes.
So at dinner the 3 siblings (83, 86, 89) began telling childhood stories...& stories of the baby (Dad :wub: ) & laughing & laughing & laughing. The older I get the more I realize just how golden those moments really are. :sparkle:
And yes, :michafire: is hubby 2.0 really 2.0 or is he more like .5? :laugh:
In other words, is he easier to deal with or more difficult? :hugs:
I am hoping for the former. :shera:
Today...we all go to a bday party for a 2 year old second cousin that lives here but I've met just once when he was a baby. :huh:
Pey... the baby sister of my cousin who lives up the drive. I rarely ever see her. I like her, as a person, but we have very very little in common.
They stockpile ammo. And guns. Cuz well.... civil war & all, ya know? Her husband bought a new AK47 with his stimulus check.
Anyway...everybody's invited & we're going as I remember that they did come to Jacki's 30th bday party. :righton:
Yep. That's fambily as well.

:michafire: I was kinda hoping for you he'd come out new and improved than before. :sigh:
Asiel...fambly :rainbow:....your Mom :wub: :hail: Does she perchance where a cape? Because she ought to have a gorgeous golden cape.
Those critters. I has trouble with them too. I din't for years, and then suddenly one day that changed. They go after the tomatoes mostly.
I've had a critter eat my cucumber plants. I notice iffin I block the young plant with chickenwire until they have larger leaves, then the critter loses interest. The tomatoes, I has no idea what to do except shake my fist at them and shout empty threats about hats.
So. CDC is ramping up caution to everbody about wearing masks even iffin they been vaccinated. They are disturbed about the latest
shenanigans of the Delta Plus variant. I guess it's proving to be a bit more aggressive than they thought.

Yep fambily get togetherz are prolly a doog thang but I'm still glad I always gotted kicked out once I was no longer needed :drama:
Doog boj momma durt :beerme: :secret: no capes :nonono:
Vegie jail is a great success :thumbs: atleast 2 jails are in there 2nd and 3rd harvestings. The other day Dad picked the last of the fava beans :yucky: For whatever horrible HORRIBLE reason he lubs them disgusting thangs :pukeface:
Anywho he steamed up a HUGE basket for dinger and saved a few dozen for seeds to be used in yet another batch :no:
He's still in the soil tweaking stage though so nuthin tastes quite right ... though the first batch of fava :bean: s were so bad even he didn't eat them but he added kemikillz and batch 2 was "ok" batch 3 supposedly much improved so he's hopeful for batch 4 ... but I'm not :nono:
Tomatoes are now in the better than bought but not doog enough category ... so more soil tweakage. Green onions are doog, and peeperz ... a little hotter than he was :egg: pectin :chuckle: He's also drying big bunches of sage :thumbs: unfortunately the cilantro is doog :barfy:
One vegi jail got covered by a large branch from an apricot tree BUT we've almost never even gotted one apricot from this tree in the past 'cuz :squirrel: and boids always eat them :gaah: BUT this year the gardeners wrapped the thang with sumthin like plastic chicken wire AND there are sooooo many apricots the branch is wresting on a vegi jail BUT he'd rather have apricots than more bad :tomatoe: s :happydance:
Oh and he still has self watering pots with :tomato: plants and other ffuts out on the patio and the Grow Tent inside looks like a jungle BUT Apparently 1 this is just the plant nursery for ffuts going out later :dunno:
As for me nuthin skeery :nono: I think I need to cover my downstairs toile with aluminum foil when it's not in use though :tinhat:
It's the bathroom I use to sanetize all doof and thangs but apparently toilet seats are not UV/Ozone safe ... who nude? :dunno:
The seat itself seems fine {just a bit yellow} but the connector hinge thingies just crumbled to dust :whistle: But the replacement should arrive tomorrow :angel:
On the plus side that bathroom is otherwise spotlos :angel:
I'm considering getting some metal shelves and building a big polystyrene box around it to contain the UV. I think ozone is ok 'cuz nuthin in my other rooms have crumbled away :nono:
Other than that I'm researching a wind turbine build :bliss: and I gotted my nuf sized 30W motor already :yesss:
Oh and just because ... I'm looking at Himalayan sea salt :hmm2: I bought the biggee sized Costco box of it and I noticed it doesn't taste quite right. My guess is it's a low grade salt with :egg: tra red durt added :fist: Anywho, I :check: ed solubility and crystal structure and am just recrystallizing a batch now. I figure if nuthin else I can make some flakey salt for cooking :angel:

:michafire: the 1.000001 is funny. :rofl: Glad you hold your sense of humor no matter what. :hugs:
the image of Pandora threatening the critters with being hats is :hysterical:
Zen Aunt live trapped hers a couple years back. She relocated them to the fambily farm (behind us).
She trapped 6 or 7 in a row 7 became even more discouraged.
Then...she found out that they could/would likely come back iffin the habitat was :sparkle: home :sparkle:
She has a beautiful koi pond & a waterfall with bridge & ALL the wildlife come to her watering hole. :hysterical:
She has seen foxes, raccoons, rabbits, all drinking from the pond. :wub: And the birds regularly bathe in the shallows.
I told her she may as well give in & just feed the :squirrel: s. Feed them all! :grouphug:
Behind her is a small subdivision with acre-ish sized lots...behind that is miles & miles of woodland & farmland.
In front of her is a 4 lane state highway. :hysterical:
Her yard is the last stop before :splat:
Last day of hanging with the kin. :wubsigh: Yesterday was great...today is yet to be. :sparkle:
Dad's gardens... :cheer: Too bad you didn't take after him at all! :sigh: :pie: :hysterical:

Dad's gardens... :cheer: Too bad you didn't take after him at all! :sigh: :pie: :hysterical:
Really that's what ya think ? :scratch:
Minimal effort and resources to grow plants ... seeds and clones :egg: posed to various types of radiation, energy fields and kemikillz to see what happens and continuous tinkering to git flavours just right. You'r right that don't sound anythin like me :nono: :nono: :yes:
Did I mention sometimez he refers to the Grow Tens as the "cloning facility" ... I tried getting him to name the tent Kamino but he's neber seen Star Wars much less the Clone Wars :sigh:
Neber give in to feeding the critters :naughty: you'll just make more :gaah: and unless yer making hats that's prolly not a doog thang :nono:
Ooooh Koi Ponds :wubsigh: ... we used to has one when I was little but the (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) kept vanishing under mysterious circumstances :uhoh: we only eber added goldfish 'cuz we werent sure we had eberythang ready for the koi. After a few weeks we gave up :sigh: BUT the pond was lubly and my parents even built an arching japanesey-ish bridge over the thang :wub:
Oh and there used to be a rock garden on the other side and a tea house ... the tea house is still there :yes: though all of the wood bits have been replaced over the years :yes:
Oh and the shishi-odoshi aka deer clacker or skearerer awayer I made was in the rock garden but the water ran back into the koi pond ta you noes aerate it for the fishies. Shishi-odoshi are very cool but trust me you do not want one :gaah: :wall:

Boy oh boy, yer Dad has enough goin' on to keep you busy too. :faint:
Seriously, that was fun to read about. :rainbow:
I'z hopin' his favah beans finally reach perfection! :wub:
It's uncomfortable here. It's finally cooling a bit now tonight, but it's planning to get worse. We have a :heat: advisory on.
But, my simple little garden is loving it. The zucchini never disappoints. I have 4 babies. Although I haven't checked them since
Friday, and I may go out tomorrow and find they are now teenagers. :eek: The beans are climbing, the tomatoes need to be tied, and the cucumber has now graduated from it's cage. :thumbs:
My yellow lilies are really dense and lush this year with a ton of blossoms. The hostas and Irises I moved around didn't like it much. So, they've decided :nonono: no blossoming. But the greenery is strong and healthy. So, if they don't hold a grudge, I hope to get blossoms next year.
Yeah, I tried live trapping. I din't take them far enough away, and yup there they wuz again. :sigh: I think that I made them fat and happy because of the compost I had in the back. I didn't do a huge compost this year for that reason, and I haven't seen them visiting. I think if I move the compost to an entirely different spot, that may do the trick and they'll stay out of the back yard. I just haven't figured out where I want to put the darn thing. :gaah:

Sig....I noes you are so very much like your Dad. :buttkick: AND much like your Mom. :wub:
You just have the major durt aversion which flags you as ripe for the picking to a durty one like me. :rofl:
Pandora...you have entered hypergrowth!!! :happydance: That's fun . :yes:
I dunno what's yet happened around here. I been mostly away for 3 days & other than watering in the morning I haven't seen/done much. :crazyeyes:
Still getting the cobwebs out of my body, mind & heart. My soul can handle them (fambily cobwebs).
My Aunt (almost 89)is nearing the end of her road & has mild to moderate dementia & cousins had been trying hard to fix] her.
But they seem to have let go after talking to me, Mom & Zen Aunt all weekend. :hearts:
Uncle Charles (86) is is amazing good shape...better than most 60 year olds.... but he teared up when he said goodbye to me & nearly lost it when he said goodbye to B :luvcry: His lady friend could not understand that. She said she'd never seen him cry. I told her that that was Love. And it just about knocked her down when I said it. She's a wounded sparrow as her youngest son committed suicide at 19 & her other 2 sons are mostly estranged ever since. Her sons are in their 50's. :sigh:
Today I gots to fix a leaky hose. :faint: Again. :gaah: When I got got in the car to leave yesterday morning I noticed the hose over the drive shooting straight up like a geyser. :onoes: I turned the water off & went on.
The fambily is leaving this morning. Uncle Charles was gone long ago as he is a retired truck driver. National Driver of the Year one of his last years. :yes: Cousin had a nail in her tire that had to be fixed here in town this morning. :sigh: But she is only going 400 miles (ATL).
:hearts:
Typical 90/70 every day here. :rofl:

I hear that Asiel. Fambly and the passing of the generation. :rainbow:
It is all as it should be, but there is a sense of hiraeth as the Welsh would say. :balance:
My Dad is now 83, and although sharp as a tack, and physically in great shape for his age, the last phone call with him
sent an alert on some deep level for me. I felt a shift. I don't know the words for that. So, I've been feverishly working/writing
the family book. It was something that was on HIS bucket list. The legacy he wanted to see manifested in a more lasting
way. Suddenly that seems like it has a time stamp to me.
It's not quite 11am here, and we are at 88F with 55% humidity. The humidity level is not so bad, which makes the heat a bit more tolerable. In recent days that humidity climbed into the 70-80% range. That was brutal. Lots of :sun: today.
Quiet tasks, cold foods and LOTS of water with splurges into lemonade and iced tea. :thumbs: That is my order of laziness today. :D

Ooooh ... hiraeth ... that's a doog wurd :thumbs: and very apropos :yes:
Yeah dad found the sweet spot ... starting plants then having others put them in the durt and care for them then he goes around tasting and when it's time to harvest ... others pick eberythang for him :thumbs:
Oh and that branch FULL of apricots had to be trimmed ... there were just too many and it was gonna bork :frantic: BUT they waited just long enough for the first apricots to git ripe and the others close enough to git ripe over time so NOW dad is flush with apricots ... literally hundreds inside and stll plenty more on the tree AND he also gave a bunch away so he is srsly stoked :thumbs: and prolly getting the :run: s about now :whistle:
Durt sucks :yes:
"My Aunt (almost 89)is nearing the end of her road & has mild to moderate dementia & cousins had been trying hard to fix her."
Um yeah I'm with the cousins original idea of fixing her :yes: The new medication Aduhelm is atleast minimally effective AND there are sooooo many likely effective yet currently unapproved options that I would totally recommend atleast going down fighting :yes: I literally have atleast 4 or 5 things on hand for if/when dad starts hasing memory troubles :yes: Ya noes more than originally ... he does too much at once and frequently fergets what he was gonna does BUT that's normal dad :yes: As is losing whatever he was carrying and finding it in the fridge/freezer :whistle:
Pan alerts happen :yes: sometimez for no reason ... but why not setup a meeting ... a video chat if nuthin else :oz:
My dad's starting to appreciate video calls :yes: mostly 'cuz he can show me what is wrong and I can tellz him what to does without hasing to come over BUT still it's a doog thang. :angel:
Pan 55% humidity :no: that's purty close to my typical 65% and it's un :bear: able when the temp gits into the 70's like it is now :frantic: That's why my dehumidifier is running AND my AC will be ... soon ... OR atleast fans when cold air comes by :wiggle:
Oh that's another thang Dad lubs the heat :wall: ... no problem until it's the 90's :no: and of course mom being from Taiwan no problems with heat AND humidity :nono: so back when I was young they were surprised that I cannot take the HEAT :heat: :no: or actually more surprised that I don't even notice cold until ice starts forming :whistle:

I'm more of a cold weather person too. I'm good with 50-60F. That feels the best. But I don't really get :shiver: until it gets down to about 35F. Then I starts to feel it. I can't imagine moving south for the heat like a lot of folks my age have done.
It got up to 93F today, with about 81% humidity. :heat: Just moving quietly in the kitchen I had sweat poring off me. We got a couple hard downpours, and the :sun: is down, so now it's at 77F and the humidity dropped to 79%. We get these dog days. Usually they start up in July/Aug. They're early this year. This wave should calm down by the weekend, but it's summer for good until October. :thumbs:
I mostly worked on the book today. A little over 20 pages done. I'm thinking that it's gonna be about 100 pages in body. Likely about 30 more in just indexing, etc. That's a modest guess. :hmm2:
Dad and I do video chat once in a while. But we have trouble hearing. We both have lousy hearing...go figure.... :bsl:

Well atleast ya noes who to blame :chuckle:
We {my Dad and moi} don't chat "long" we just chat frequently especially on weekends and or nights :yes: He has an amazon show 8 next to his computer and iffen he finds sumthin interestin he'll send a quick message and if I'm on which is nearly always the case I'll does a "drop in" and seez what's up. Like just a ferw minutes ago he asked me iffen I had seen them no moobing parts wind turbines ... which I has ... so I pointed out the :electrocute: properties and how they can also be used for atmospHeric water harvesting ... and now he's looking at that :angel:
Anywho that's the way we roll :rotflmao: a couple of 30 second video chats and or voice messages ... sometimes a few times a day other times ebery other day or so :angel:
Oh and back when his eczema got bad for a bit I would sometimez call for a quick look 'cuz he will not take carez of it :wall: and I always had to :check: to see iffen it was "hot" aka inflamed or "active" :pullhair:
In any event once setup it's almost like living together but without the annoyance of hasing to live together :oz:
Oh in case you missed it I put Amazon Flexs in most rooms {his and mine} and both garages AND I has him subscribed to Amazon Help which means he can "call" for help basically from anywhere or call me, a neighbor, 911, etc. :angel:
Back to this dual coast Heat :wave: :horror:
Yeah it's always some delightful combination of too hot or too hot AND humid here too BUT dang 90's temp and 80%+ is end of the whurled hell's gates or tanassi level :carp: weather :horror:
Git yerself a nice personal AC :thumbs: and or dehumidifier :bliss: and stay away from the durt :club:

:rofl:
I believe one can adapt to weathers. Becuz I did. :yes:
I never usta be able to handle the :heat: I'd :faint: for realz. I was a serious lightweight.
And when we moved here it was like, 'Ok...now what?' :rofl:
Our first summer we were so excited about planting ffutses & I'd wind up having to go inside...passed out on the bed. :sigh:
Then one day B told me, "You just gotta learn to love sweating". :huh: What an odd concept. :laugh:
He, being an old bassetbawl player had/has no problem having fun, staying super fly, & dripping wet with sweat.
So I first changed my thoughts, then my body came along. :wiggle:
I'm still not as 'heat hardy' as him, but I handle it better than most.
And I am in no way implying that you, Pandora, oughta just adapt. :nonono: It took me a long time. Like 2 or 3 years.
Hopefully your heat wave is a rarity. But in all honesty I feel northerners outghta buck up on their cooling abilities becuz the times they is a changin'.
My bil in Ohio was installing window ac units in the house we stayed in (it was 85, we slept upstairs) after we left. :woe:
Most Tannassians are like :sigster: . They wilt. And :run: for AC. And keep their homes at frigid 65 or less if possible. :shiver:
These same peoples wear shorts all winter. :shiver: And never have a jacket when it's 30's or 40's. :shiver:
I likes how you & Dad 'hang out', SIg. :righton: Mom & I are similar, just low-tech. :rofl:
I call her every morning. Late morning cuz she sleeps til 8:30 or 9. :laugh: Sometimes we talk for an hour (I talk while I water...or weed) & sometimes it's 5 minutes or less. And then she calls, or texts, numerous times throughout the day just like geniedad if there's something 'tell-worthy' or if she has a question. She's very considerate tho, calling when she knows I'm likely avaiable, texting when she knows B is home or we're watching a game. :chuckle: It's nice living 3.2 miles away. :wub: :papa: arranged all this. :yes: He owned the land & first suggested we move here...then when he was sick he instigated them moving here & oversaw the renovation of her house. :wub:
As for my cousins & aunt... yes, I understand. And yes, we would do everything. And yes, she is on many many many medications. :sigh:
She also has afib & a pacemaker & all the associated ails for which one takes meds.
But by fix I mean that they keep telling her she's 'wrong'. She must have told me a dozen times that 'they just don't believe me'. :sigh: And they get real, real, impatient with her when she repeats things.
For example, on the last day there she noticed Mom's gorgeous blood red hibiscus & said, "Ohhhh, look at those flowers. I haven't seen that before." Cousin immediately spoke up & says, "Mama...you said the same thing yesterday...and the day before." And Aunt Katherine says, "Well...I guess it was pretty then, too." :chuckle:
I would have said, "Omigosh,would you look at that? Those flowers are special indeed"
Or somethin like that. :rofl:
That's what I meant by fix. They constantly correct her making her feel like a scolded child.
fwiw she was on some med to stop her 'hallucinations' & it worked for a couple weeks but then stopped.
She sees people. And is not afraid, but curious & has even wandered outside to see what they want. :nonono:
I think she just may really see people. I believe she may be seeing through the veil. But iffin I tell these conservative cousins that they will have me on medication, too. :hysterical:
Sorry I am so long-winded today. :red: It's Friday on the farm. :excited: 2 days of big, strong farm help. :b: :bsl:
I really wanted to share this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/canada-has-lost-its-halo-we-must-confront-our-indigenous-genocide/ar-AALzSMU?ocid=Peregrine
Tazzles has been telling us for ages. :bawling: Finally the truth is beginning to surface, hard as it may be to confront.
And Canada is wobbling mightily on it's pedestal. :luna:
And speaking of Tazzles... that Western heat dome has been affecting BC & Saskatchewan with triple digit tempertures. :heat: :faint:
Have a great day, guys. :matt: I've already missed the prime part of the day outdoors. :wig: :rofl: :gle:
TIme to pony up & sweat. :heat: We're dropping down to low 80's come first of July. :happydance:

Asiel, Aunt knows. She is in the moment, and the veil is thinning as it should. You're wise to understand about being in the
moment. Not everybody does, even our Sigster will lift a brow at me, I suspect. Any way to help the family to understand they
simply need to be in the moment with Auntie? It's truly a simple and joyful place in the end. It's meant to be like that. We are
so science-based which is not to say that's bad. Just sometimes it's not necessary in the natural progression of our journeys. :angel:
Dad and I are usually in touch maybe once a week. Given our similar natures, we get putzing and don't socially connect as much
as other family members think we ought to. We're comfortable with how we are. :thumbs: Just that gut-level voice perked up in
me. "Pay attention". So, I is.
Heat index will approach 100F today. As we speak it is 11am, and we're all ready at 87F with 57% humidity. Lake storms will burst out
sporadically today. Not that the weather guy says that. I say that knowing my land here. :D
I stay quiet in this weather. I do short simple chores, resting between each one. I maintain a :om: sorta :balance: I learned that decades ago.
What ever active heavy duty tasks there may be, they will wait. I have A/C in my bedroom, but nowhere else. If I feel too overwhelmed I retreat. Otherwise, I work on being acclimated.
Dang dehumidifiers are expensive. I need to get one, but I'm gonna have to be patient and save enough. Meanwhile, I'm muttering and cursing at my knotty pine cabinet doors. :bsl:
The pacific northwest is getting nailed with heat. I worry about the homeless more so with this, than I do the winter. :uhoh: No mention anyone is doing anything to help them. :(
Off I go to do a little chore. Get some nice cool water, and probably obsess over writing the book.
All of you-stay careful and pace yourselves. Remember water. :gheart:

Without AC I don't know if I could handle the outdoors now. :nonono: And I still can't do too much physical work in the heat.
Watering...mowing...weeding...even a bit more planting... but not a lot more gets done by me all summer.
Thanks, Pandora, & yes I told both cousins that already. That simply being with her was most important...and finding joy in whatever ways you all can. I also told them that just when you think you can't take it any more...it'll all be over. So make the most of every moment you have now. Mom & Zen Aunt told them much the same things & they were both very receptive...and appreciative.
My oldest cousin Sherry says, "I always know that when I feel like I need therapy all I gotta do is call Leisa". :rofl:
Mom showed Aunt how to put a piece in a jigsaw puzzle on her (Mom's) iPad & when she was successful her face lit up like a Christmas tree! :wub: I pointed it out to both cousins & said, "Right there. That is priceless. That is joy. And that's all that matters now, for all of you."
We are about to axshully get dry. :umbrella: I have drip lines on in the Dance Hall & a sprinkler on the gardens in the yard.
Thanks dog for abundant water & no water bill! :cheer:
Gotta shower & go to Paris. :matt:
yippee.
Watering...mowing...weeding...even a bit more planting... but not a lot more gets done by me all summer.
Thanks, Pandora, & yes I told both cousins that already. That simply being with her was most important...and finding joy in whatever ways you all can. I also told them that just when you think you can't take it any more...it'll all be over. So make the most of every moment you have now.

So I been watering all day...
and now there is big :rain: moving in from the southeast. :huh:
Years ago Jen told me that drought-busting rain (we are not really droughted but had no rain in a week or 2)
always comes from the east. She is correct. :yes:
She also told me that fish shaped :fishhat: clouds portend rain. The bigger the :carp: :cloud: , the heavier the :rain:
She is correct about that as well.
:thanks:

So......
Big change struck again. :faint:
:b: got fired yesterday! :faint:
Basically the owner/boss just went off on him at 10 minutes til 5, pretty much accusing him of slacking which is totally ridiculous to everybody else there (& anybody who knows B). B said he just let loose. :eek: And he defended himself which only made him madder.
From a higher perspective I know the boss/owner is a pent-up kinda guy also going through a mid-life ego inflation , mad as hell over the election still & ready to fight phase. But it went from
Him:"What ya doin?"
B: "Just waiting to clock out (it's now 7 minutes til 5)"
:boom:
to
B:"'ll paint the whole freakin wall when I come back on Friday if that's what you want"
Him: "Don't come back here with that attitude. On second thought, don't come back at all"
B: "C Ya."
End scene.
fwiw, when it's slow it is common for eeerbody that works there to gather at the front about 10-15 til 5 & just wait to see if anybody else came in.
The previous owners (HIS PARENTS) led the charge, & oftentimes at 5 til or so they'd say, "Come on. Let's get out of here"
We all know he needed to go, but still it's a bit stunning the way that it happened. :crazyeyes:
On to the next adventure...

Holy jeeze! :eek:
Honestly, :b: could fight that, I think. Is Tanassi an "at will" state? Because seriously, I don't care how pissed off that guy is about Trump losing, he was several shades of wrong with what he did. :mad:
So, where one door closes, another one opens. I will be interested in what comes next for him.
:hug: to all of the clan.
We're starting out with more typical :dog: day weather today. But our humidity is brutal at 87%. It will downward trend into the 70's over the next 3 days according to the weather guy....but he is the weather guy. :roll:
I may venture out on a couple errands today. I haven't decided. I'm not hard pressed to have anything right now like emergency wise.
:sig: and his brow lift. I expected that. :chuckle:

Yep. One can be let go for no reason at all and employers like to remind slaves of that fact. :sigh:
Really...there must be a reason we are settled in the South. :crazyeyes: :earthheart:
Thing is...the business is totally in line with B's soul purpose. The owner & mentality is not. :nonono:
The owner is a white supremacist. And I don't say that lightly. And B had become one of his whipping boys.
Same :carp2b: that happened last job. If you walk out on their racist jokes, don't play along & laugh at others while eating bbq or double pepperoni pizza, or wear tshirts promoting unity or get too big for your britches.... well, then your days get numbered no matter how much the customers or other employees think of you. :sigh:
He actually told B that he was not living up to his potential and could work harder. :woe:
Told that to a 60 year old man, who's been around the block a few times, and was working there by choice for a mere $12 an hour???
I hear Zanna saying, Cheeze Louise, who the :carp: does he think he is?

Lowest possible starting pay even for driver helper is $16.50 which is better than that nursery skool or whatever :yes: AND they has benefits :thumbs:
In any event I doubt he wants to be driver dude for long BUT he'd prolly likes/not hate being a delivery manager guy :yes: Apparently 1 that's the point where you can git doog pay and not be dead tired at the end of the day :thumbs:
Iffen I was gonna start ya noes actually werken for a libing I'd prolly go with day trading or atleast investment ffuts. We gots trillions in the economy and trillions more in "infracturedstructurez" or whatever they is calling it on the way so it's not rocket surgery type :brain: ing to figurez out what companies are gonna does doog :nono:
In other newses ... it looks like in all countries using mRNA vaccines and the AstraZeneca one the numbers of newly infectes begins to drop when the vaccinated percentage hits around 35% and really begins to plumet at or near the 50% mark {and that's FULLY vaccinated percentages aka both shots} and that's really doog news :thumbs:
Incidentally there was a Cleveland study that showed effectiveness of normal infection and recovery vs mRNA vaccines {I thinxz Moderna} vs Nothing. Basically iffen you had covid and recovered you are prolly safe and Do NOT need a vaccine, 0.007% of those vaccinated tested positive for covid but showed no symptoms vs those who were not vaccinated ... yeah they didn't do so doog with any ICUes and 12 deaths :sofa:
The study was relatively small like 7,000 peoples in the medical field and the point is IF you had covid and recovered then getting the vaccine is NOT needed :nono: yer mileage may vary with variants though :dunno:
The δ+ variant prolly not more lethal nor too vaccine resistant. The + variation is seen in other variants and there it didin't change much. Yes, vaccines less doog BUT still doog enough :angel:
Otherwise it seems that vaccines in general are prolly doog for about a year of protection once fully protected and maybe a booster after 1 year or a particularly high number of cases in your area BUT the jury is still out on that one :wiggle:

Dude, those jobs are all 2 1/2 hours away. That's 5 (6 or more with traffic) hours commute time on top of an 8-10 hour work day :wtf:
A 250 mile round trip.
And the Chattanooga one... 10 hours round trip commute. :hysterical:
And yes, if we lived closer to the citities (funny typo) there are lots of sboj to choose from and the pay is purt near double what it is here.
But we cain't/won't move. :nonono:

You're kidding about 2.5 hours commute? One way. 240 miles+ round trip? 12+ gallons of gas per day.... about $36 in gas which equals the first 2 hours of a day? Drive 240 miles to drive all day?
:spitcoffee:
Anyway.... energies are high this weekend. :wtf:
STFAFP! For more than one reason now. :yes:
Oh & get this...I went with B to pick up his last check & ladder. The owner/boss had left for a fishing trip.
Coward!

Fishing trip. In the old days, man therapy. Mayhap he knows he lost it in all the wrong ways. :bsl:
The thing about commutes. One spends, if they're F/T, 8.5 hrs at the job site. Iffin you have to travel say..1 hr. in and back, that's 10.5 hrs dedicated to "work". Add in a minimum of 1 hr, preparing (lunch making, breakfast, showering, dressing, etc). Now you have 11.5 hrs dedicated to "work". So, now you have sleep. Avg sleep is supposed to be 8 hrs. So now you have 19.5 hrs lost in your day. We end up with 4.5 hrs in which to eat dinner, clean up the house, and unwind. Cooking, eating, pickup is likely an hour. So, 3.5 hrs to spare a day for life, fambly, etc.
Now, make that commute longer, like to 2 hrs in and back. Now ya gots an hour and a half. :nonono: We shouldn't be living to work. It should be working to live. Ya see? That's my theory, and I'm stickin' with it. :thumbs:
So, it's :rain: in my corner. Not so much on the fireworks this year...yet. The weekend is young. Energy here feels muted, mayhap the :om: before the :badmood: I dunno.
The thing about commutes. One spends, if they're F/T, 8.5 hrs at the job site. Iffin you have to travel say..1 hr. in and back, that's 10.5 hrs dedicated to "work". Add in a minimum of 1 hr, preparing (lunch making, breakfast, showering, dressing, etc). Now you have 11.5 hrs dedicated to "work". So, now you have sleep. Avg sleep is supposed to be 8 hrs. So now you have 19.5 hrs lost in your day. We end up with 4.5 hrs in which to eat dinner, clean up the house, and unwind. Cooking, eating, pickup is likely an hour. So, 3.5 hrs to spare a day for life, fambly, etc.

Quote from: SpaceweatherFIRST X-FLARE IN 4 YEARS: A new sunspot emerged during the early hours of July 3rd and promptly exploded, producing the first X-class solar flare since Sept. 2017. X-flares are the most powerful kind, and this one caused a strong shortwave radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean. Updates to this developing story will be posted throughout the weekend @ Spaceweather.com.

Well I am with Pandora 100% on the commute thang. :righton:
And :sun: biting! :eek:
That does esplain why I had the little bit of funny headache tho...and why we 'quit' work around lunchtime & sat in the shade talking all afternoon. :yes: Plus...we were on vacay. :rofl:
SIGHence Dude, :pie: I was just off reading about population density. An average of 20-25 homes per sq mile & about 55 peoples.
But that's not really so where I is. Becuz the 'cities'....Paris alone accounts for !/3 the population of our very large county.
Here in the country :hayseed: it's more like 2 houses per square mile...if even that. Sometimes you drive for miles & miles & see NO houses.
Anyway...Amazon ain't gonna go where it's unprofitable when the USPS, FedEx & UPS can handle it & already have to do the deal.
Same reason cable won't run. Nor sewer nor water. We're lucky to has :electrocute: :hysterical:
Plus, many peoples out here still don't have internet. At all. Supposedly there is a grant & some parts of the county are gaining access but I hasn't heard where/when as of yet. No internet = No Amazon. They goes to Walmart. :duh:
It's for real :deliverance: out here. I wouldn't do it for all the tea in China (even at a reduced rate :laugh: ) becuz you never know what dogs or guns you may encounter. :nonono:
So I shall bet you right now that there ain't never gonna be any Amazon jobs any closer than Jackson. :righton:
Don't matter anyway. He ain't gonna does it & neither am I. :rofl:

I feel high strangeness today. :crazyeyes:
Kinda off-kilter, kinda nauseous/sick to stomach, kinda like mourning.
Again. :sigh:
All in our little circle is excellent. We are all healthy & happy & even Mom says B "isn't supposed to" get a 'real' boj any more.
We are seriously focusing on getting this whole place, inside & out, in tip top shape. :yes:
Also planning to grow & sell bedding plants/veggie plants/shrubs/trees. Nature keeps providing us with the stock.
We could (& will) get 100 cuttings of numerous Mother Plants we been nurturing for years, without even affecting the original plant.
I've already seeded broccoli, cabbages, kales, chard, celery, choi...all for fall plantings. They'll be ready to go by first of September. :wiggle:
And when peoples come up to buy bushes, etc & they ask, "How big is this gonna get?" We can reply, "Come this way...here is one that is 10 years old". And peoples will say, "Ahhhhhh. Beautiful". :rofl:
At least that's the plan. long term.
We just has to fill in :missing: monies for 15 months til B's SS kicks in. :check:
And then we casually sell plants...and ffuts...while we live & :frolic:
But neither of us is keen on getting a retail/driver/factory type boj. :no:
Happy Holiday to you, too, Pan. :hugs: Every day's a holiday when you're retired, huh? :happydance:

I'm still not sure why you hasn't mentioned anythin about the grant ffuts 'cuz that literally woulda been the thang I woulda done :yes: K yes I has applied for just shy of a Gazillion grants and other types of research funding BUT they is kinda like résumés the first one sucks but once it's done it's no big :nono: ya just tweak as appropriate and send it off :bliss: it's no big iffen ya don't git it but iffen ya does :cheer:
Cashing out at 62 :woe: well I guess there are worser ideas :dunno: though I haven't heard them :whistle:
Yup July 4th on a Sunday = :earth: Bonkering :check: :yes:

Bitcoin mining at Seneca Lake is causing all sorts of havoc environmentally.
Lake is warmer than it ought to be, and the air ain't so good either.
I'm getting so tired of saving the Lake from the likes of these dang corporate capitalists, I could just spit.
:pissed:
The group that stopped fracking is now engaged. This one's gonna be even tougher I suspect. :wall:
Sig, it ain't avoidance. It's choices. Not everbody has the same comfort levels to make them choices in.
Mostly, I had to retire. I couldn't do the work physically anymore. RA in my hands took away strength
and agility. Much needed in what I was doin'. Not to mention tearing up my back over the 28 yrs made
the pain level beyond what I could ignore anymore everytime I had to drag/lift a 200+ pt on and off tables,
stretchers, chairs, the ground...I had to make the "retire early" decision because I wouldn't have a life
if I waited to 65.
The choices made by Asiel and B have to do with a whole bunch of things that other folks don't have to
deal with in their choices. I strongly doubt there's avoidance in those choices.
I highly suspect that some of the choosing comes from self-preservation on all levels; body, mind, and soul.
On my way out for some couscous, yakisoba noodles, and fruit. I'm craving... :liplick:

Thanks, Pan. :hugs:
Yep. She's right. No avoidance, he's just not going back to management of any sort nor laboring nor tending bar nor construction nor teaching middle school nor any of the things he's done before.
We're apposta work here. Right here. :yes: And it takes both of us. :shera:
And yeah, now that I think of it he HAS been avoiding being here becuz he felt like he was apposta have a 'real' job.
But the Universe kept kicking him back here. :rofl:
We got a plan. :yes: And though I'm not ready to talk about it yet suffice it to say that we sure know what DOESN'T work! :bsl:
As for SS at 62...who says one will live to be 70...or even 67? There are opinions & benefits/disadvantages to all options.
He's still outside working. :yes: I had to quit to do 'woman's work'. :rofl:
Enjoy the cravings, Pan. :righton: And save that LAKE! :buttkick:

Speaking of pain...does either of you know anything about wild lettuce being an opiate & used for pain?
We has it growing & in trying to identify if (I called it giant dandelion-like ffuts :laugh: ) I came across a video on how to make this opiate syrup. Just the word 'opiate' skeered me off. :laugh: But maybe it could be something useful? Or maybe I oughta stay skeered?
Grants. :check: We done done the math & 30K would buy us a year without touching 401Ks or anything. Of course, I'm talking general use monies not grant-specific...but still... :scratch:
Energies are real high, y'all! :wtf: Making testiness a thing. :chuckle: And alternating energy/tiredness.
We gots a New Moon & a Galactic New Year coming up. :sparkle:

I'd never heard of it, Asiel. :huh:
Apparently, Wild Lettuce (Latuca Virosa) has been used to relieve stress and chronic pain. But, there's a lot of controversy surrounding it.
But, you have to know what you're doing when you harvest it. There poisonous look alikes from what I'm reading.
Well, that explains my touchiness yesterday. It was one of those days where I couldn't even stand myself. Better today! Low level pain
in my hips, but it din't stop me from mowing. :thumbs:
Right now its 88F with 57% humidity so, not as bad as it was. I'm thinking we'll get :rain: later this afternoon. That'll settle it out for a day or two.

I thinxz they gotted their numbers wrong 8,000 bitcoin miners sounds like a lot but full scale miners are in the 30k to 50k range.
In any event the simple solution is to raise the :electrocute: cost :yes: Bitcoin miners make money only when the :electrocute: is cheap and or BitCoin prices are high. It takes a large mining opperation about a month to "earn" one Bitcoon and currently they are $33,940 which sounds like a lot BUT after :electrocute: cooling and mining costs are added up there's barely 10% left if that so just raising the :electrocute: price a few cents will has them leaving :angel:
Oh yeah it's literally the same components as in Dandelion "milk" :missing: Lactucin and lactucopicrin these are the the components that make most of the bitter salad components bitter.
The wild :lettuce: almost certainly has some health benefits BUT I doubt if it has significant pain relieving properties :nono: Just think of them as a healthy and tasty salad addition :yes:
It "looks" like the sedative quality is real but I'm not sure anyone can eat that much of anything :dunno:
You'd prolly be better off chewing morning glory seeds :rainbow: :hippy:
Yeah that's not how grants werk :woe: you still need to figure out how to afford yer jet setting lifestyle :roll:

Quote from: WikipediaLactucin is a bitter substance that forms a white crystalline solid and belongs to the group of sesquiterpene lactones. It is found in some varieties of lettuce and is an ingredient of lactucarium. It has been shown to have analgesic and sedative properties.[1] It has also shown some antimalarial effects.[2] It is also found in dandelion coffee.
It acts as an adenosine receptor agonist.[3]

Happy place :happydance: Happy place :happydance: :pie: :eip:
And :pey: Jet setters r us! :hysterical: And I noes that goofus, :duh: For that I'd need a benefactor. :rofl:
Or a lifestyle investor. :chuckle: If there's not such a thang, there oughta be.
So I almost posted this morning that I was off-kilter. I was. :luna: But didn't. :nonono:
And then...still feeling 'off' I went to lie down for a few minutes & :wheee: :faint: Vertigo! :wtf:
Seems to be a pandemic phase phor me. :dunno:
We had to go out. Walmart! :ashamed: :scream: It was dinner time, almost, & there were several large families in there.
They were all hyper kidded & crankified parented. :huh: Eeerbody else, us included, were zombified. :sigster:

The Walmart effect. :uhoh:
:spiral: It's a thing.
I always feel drained and anxious when I come out of that place.
I see vertigo, and offness, and my first thought goes to ears.
Ya'll feelin' better today?
We haz 77F with 82% humidity as of 9 am. I suspect :rain: before the morning passes into oblivion.
I have a grocery run. Early is nice at Wegmans cuz it's my tribe there. Old, timid, and polite. :thumbs:
I'm hankering for couscous salad. I needs to get said couscous. I'm thinkin' I should have somethin' with it, but I
haven't figured out what yet. :hmm2:
Gonna tie up the tomatoes today. I haven't done that yet. I say it everyday, but... :nonono:
Dad says he's gettin' blossoms on his but they aren't turning to fruit. I asks, "Did you prune the suckers off 'em?"
He din't. I says "Well, that's what ya gotta do."
Also, he's very :happydance: and :excited: about the book. We may be having a reunion this fall in Illinois.
I hope I can get it done by then! I'm at about 50 pages, and just started on lineage 4 of 10. Dang rabbit breeders,
my people were. :faint:

Pandora, if I hasn't said it I think that book thingy is quite :sparkle: speshul :sparkle:
And yeah, Walmart sucks, but no it doesn't affect me physically anymore. :nonono:
It once did. But I been doing it nearly 16 years now. I was merely an observer of the lunacy but felt quite invisible.
I was in :ghost: mode.
:bsl:
I've been going through an upgrade of sorts :asilly:
and needed some down time (still do a bit) to process & recalibrate. :shera:
The heat bout got me :heat:
& then yes I felt sinus pressure & obliviously inner ear ffuts tho I felt nothing with the ear.
I'd also been trying to keep up with :b: outside & oughta know that's insane. :nocando:
So... vert-i-go- :boom:
:bsl:
I'll be better than ever in a day or 2.
At 5AM I had to hold walls to holler at :kitty: :cat:
At 8 I felt fine. Laid on the bed to test.
Now I can't lean right without starting to spin. :gle: :gle:
Gotta make new :cs:
Energies are super amped tho. :no:
We went to 4 different stores, saw very few people but they all seemed wound tight. :huh: :wtf:
We were looking for a unicorn. :sigh:
A white, bottom freezer, ice maker, single-door-preferably-but-french-will-do refrigerator. :yes:

That frig...do ya'll have Sam's Club? I'm thinkin' you just might find it there. And, they's generally reasonable priced.
Thanks you. About the book. It's definitely a work of love. Because if I find ONE more fambly with 10-15 kids, I'm gonna start :fist:
at the sky. Hiram was supposed to be easy. I mean, he only had 3 kids, and only one that survived to have a family. So what does that one kid do? He has 14 of his own. :gaah: And what does one of those kids do? Has 15 of their own. :faint:

"I have a grocery run. Early is nice at Wegmans cuz it's my tribe there. Old, timid, and polite. :thumbs: "
When did yer tribe include "timid" :hysterical: Srsly you just play the part to catch peoplez off guard :guns:
Quite literally the only thang I buy at Walmart now is Borax :yes: I noes they has their own doof brands but there is ALWAYS sumthin not quite right and I'm not talking :woo: Real thangs like blotchy coloured meats or beautiful carrots and celery with absolutely no flavour :huh: Also their milk is too watered down :unthumbs: I um have a speeshul cooler and Walmart milk freezes indicating poor homogenization and or low milk fat and or proteins. Though to be fair Safeway isn't much better with milk :missing: though other produce is ok :yes:
Oooh bottom freezers are the bestest :thumbs: but Ice Maker :wall:
:horn: Do NOT buy a fridge with an ice maker !!!
Srsly why add an additional $500 to a fridge cost for something you can buy separately for ~$100 :wall:
When purchasing a new fridge get the BEST insulation possible followed by the bestest compressor then just make sure it fits your other requirements :angel:
That said refrigerators with built in ice makers have far more issues and you have reduced storage space plus there's that whole defrost cycle and funny tasting cubes :yucky:
Also opening and closing the freezer wastes :electrocute: especially iffen you are just getting ice :nono:
Save $500 to $600 on the fridge and purchase a standalone ice maker like this Amazon Counter top Ice Maker Machine, (http://counter%20top%20ice%20maker%20machine,) or if you need more than 26lbs per day for $200 there's the Frigidaire (http://frigidaire) that puts out 48lbs :faint:
Oh and the trick with these ice makers is purchase the 5yr warranty for an :egg: tra $6. Most people only use a lot of ice in the summer so these thangs only see 3 or 4 months of use a year but if you use it all the time then it's worth the :egg: tra $6 buckaroonies.
Anywho I was considering these after I gotted my Sparkle soda maker :whistle: BUT I came up with an alternative system 8)
For realz though water and ice dispensers are always a bad choice unless you cannot live without the convenience. Plus they are nigh impossible to clean and are just more parts that might leak or break AND they reduce :electrocute: efficiency :oz:
Also does not ferget to werk out the :electrocute: monthly cost :yes: some of these thangs are stoopid :egg: pensive when you take :electrocute: into consideration :uhoh: I has a friend who refuses to git rid of their ancient fridge an it eats 8kWh per day :wall: it's not even particularly nice ... yet it uses more power than my whole house :woe:

We has a Sam's in Jackson (50 miles) but do we think they deliver? :huh:
I can check. :yes: But she'll likely settle with Baby Sears (we have the ONLY one in the state left in Paris) or a local Maytag store.
Becuz they both service what they sell. :yes:
She has a frigidaire nightmare. :yes: Srsly, she has now spent more on repairs than on the fridge & it's 5-6 years old max.
Somethin bout the defrost heater/fan that's been replaced & repaired over & over again. :crazyeyes:
But the big thing is....it leaks! On her beautiful new wood floor! :no:
But it's not the icemaker/water line that leaks (tho it did once or twice) but the defroster components.
I likes the countertop icemaker thingy & will definitely amember when we need a replacement. :check:
But Mom... :uhoh: She likes to replace with exactly the same...same spot, same size, same color, same same. :rofl:
For reals....she was limiting her options to a 33" becuz that's what she has. :woe:
The only thing on the left side of her fridge is a metal baker's rack. :rofl:
But she [l]needs[/i] it there. :nonono: :hysterical:
Finally she decided maybe it could turn sideways & face the pantry & she could allow a couple or so more inches.
:horn: ENERGIES!!!! :woe:
Methinks the new :moon: is due. :scratch: Gotta check the date.
Aha! Tomorrow night. 9:17 :elvis: time
Beware. :boo: :rofl:

Heat advisory? Where? :eek:
Neberminds. We been lookin' at possible :twister: the last couple days. Our weather pattern has been REAL unsettled.
I never believed in ice makers. I can make my own ice a lot cheaper. :thumbs:
If I play my cards right, I will have a nice ready made index. If not, well, that's gonna be another nightmare. I'm only on IV of the X original ancestor lines. :sigh:
Anyways. I think Sams does deliver. It might be cheaper? I dunno. That frig sounds like a nightmare. What brand is it?
Oh, and whataboot that Delta Plus these days? I read, and I come away with a feeling of wishy-washy. I mean, kinda like mixed messages. Kinda like they are stopping short of saying "We dunno". I read this article, and it was far from satisfying when it came to direct answers.
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/delta-plus-variant-of-sars-cov-2-how-does-it-compare-with-the-delta-variant
The concern is raised about the mutation of the spike protein, then next "but that's been there" seems to be on the tail of it. :dunno:
I'm staying masked. That's what my gut tells me to do.
I am too timid in public. Less I'm seen, the better for me. 8)

I shall pass it along but Mom is gonna do what Mom is gonna do. :chuckle:
My grandfather, her dad, usta call the local Maytag guy & say, "My hot water tank just went out. Come put me in a new one." and that was that. That's pretty much how Mom is. :yes: Oh but she inherited top-of-the-line appliances with the house. :rofl:

I skimmed the first page & it seemed a brilliant marketing ploy to me.
And as much as I believe in grounding &/or being barefoot &/or outside I never felt like I needed to buy a product (she will :roll: ) to help me do that.

Pan yes the PLUS makes the Delta worser BUT not not vaccinated worserer :nono: OR essentially yes each mutation :blob: makes the vaccination less effective BUT odds are doog that the current vaccine as it is now will be useful for atleast one more year :yes: Keep in mind that the vaccine response may not be as robust as for covid original flavour BUT the key point isn't avoiding covid symptoms all together :nono: mostly it's avoiding death and hopsikilization which ALL vaccines do 'cept the :carp: Chinese ones apparently :whistle:
In any event the current unerstanding is that vaccination werks even against delta plus and vaccinated individuals are protected prolly for atleast a year after which a booster or second different vaccine might be recommended but not yet :nono:
Oh also the US is mostly in the zone for vaccinated and herd immunity being sufficient ... there are just a few communities that are srsly lagging and yup it's them ones :roll:

Yeah, I kinda thought it in the area of :tinfoil: hat.
But I DO believe in grounding. Just not like they says.
That seems to be more fear-based, as in the 'problem' is 'out there'.
The grounding I speak of is more a centeredness...an 'in there'.

I disagree with :asiel: regardless of what she said on principal 8)
:michafire: keep on mud skipping :whip: just use yer other leg ... it's why you has two :yes:
Yeah I does like Whirlpool :yes: but it's a lemon 'cuz it gotted too complicated :therethere:
When a fridge/freezer continues to breakdown over and over it's the electronics and iffen you review the model you will prolly find it's a design flaw with that model. The issue usually revolves around a single circuit board designed to take care of the fridge, freezer, adjust temperatures and humidity separately AND take care of the defrost system. Thangs like ice makers and water flow sensors are generally added on afterwards. However, by that time the circuit boards are overly complex and then has to deal with always being hot 'cuz theses systems are rarely cleaned AND they need to handle dust BUT still be servicable.
The best option is always the most insulated box that fits the space along with the best compressor. I do not unerstanz why people do not :check: the compressor make, type and size afores purchasing these thangs :sigh:
FYI: stand alone ice makers are a great option 'cuz you can use distilled water :angel: Also they are just more efficient and you don't warm up your freezer with trays of water :oz:
I agree :earth: ing is a marketing ploy to git money from stoopid peoplez :yes: BUT there are some thangs that should atleast be looked into afores dismissing :oz:
Running around outside barefeetsed is just wrong BUT inside is doog :bliss: Outside "healing" might just be the little bit of :egg: ercise you git gitting out of the house :dunno: BUT there is also suggestive evidence that :treehug: ing is beneficial :faint: even some suggestion that close proximity to trees and the vibrations in the ground have some beneficial aspects :yes:
Oh I still has a Schumann Resonance circuit running in my bedroom :yes: In fact much of the :woo: you all goes on about feelingz with :quake: s to :sunhug: events might be attributablSe to significant disturbances of the Schumann Resonance. :yes:
FYI: The Schumann Resonance varies but the primary frequency is 7.83Hz and there are atleast 2 overtones. The resonance comes from the closed form resonanace cavity produced in the space between the :earth: and the ionospHere ... which can be :egg: cited by lightning and solar winds, etc. Also the output is EMF like radio waves in particular ELF { :egg: tremely Low Frequency} radio waves.
Oh and iffen you fergetted the hooman :brain: entrains at that frequency :yes: oh and it's at the border between resting and sleeping so I thunked it could be important :oz:
Anywho I thunked :earth: ing was an inerestin idea and simple enough to try ... literally just attach a wire to ground :dunno:
In other newses ... I took down that 10yr smoke alarm with the :ghost: driven random noising :fist: It wouldn't shut up this morning so I :thwack: ed it onto the floor at which point I really couldn't shut it off until I borked the safety and forced the manual switch OFF :gaah: It's a system thang once "on" you cannot turn them off :wall:
No doubt it was very annoying :ghost: mischief :yes: but I'll be doesing an autopsy on the unit to see iffen I can find anythin useful inside like maybe the 10yr battery that should still has 7 to 8 years on it :gaah:
Unfortunately the americium241 isn't used in photoelectric alarms :darn:
:kickcan:
:michafire: keep on mud skipping :whip: just use yer other leg ... it's why you has two :yes:
Yeah I does like Whirlpool :yes: but it's a lemon 'cuz it gotted too complicated :therethere:
When a fridge/freezer continues to breakdown over and over it's the electronics and iffen you review the model you will prolly find it's a design flaw with that model. The issue usually revolves around a single circuit board designed to take care of the fridge, freezer, adjust temperatures and humidity separately AND take care of the defrost system. Thangs like ice makers and water flow sensors are generally added on afterwards. However, by that time the circuit boards are overly complex and then has to deal with always being hot 'cuz theses systems are rarely cleaned AND they need to handle dust BUT still be servicable.
The best option is always the most insulated box that fits the space along with the best compressor. I do not unerstanz why people do not :check: the compressor make, type and size afores purchasing these thangs :sigh:
FYI: stand alone ice makers are a great option 'cuz you can use distilled water :angel: Also they are just more efficient and you don't warm up your freezer with trays of water :oz:
I agree :earth: ing is a marketing ploy to git money from stoopid peoplez :yes: BUT there are some thangs that should atleast be looked into afores dismissing :oz:
Running around outside barefeetsed is just wrong BUT inside is doog :bliss: Outside "healing" might just be the little bit of :egg: ercise you git gitting out of the house :dunno: BUT there is also suggestive evidence that :treehug: ing is beneficial :faint: even some suggestion that close proximity to trees and the vibrations in the ground have some beneficial aspects :yes:
Oh I still has a Schumann Resonance circuit running in my bedroom :yes: In fact much of the :woo: you all goes on about feelingz with :quake: s to :sunhug: events might be attributablSe to significant disturbances of the Schumann Resonance. :yes:
FYI: The Schumann Resonance varies but the primary frequency is 7.83Hz and there are atleast 2 overtones. The resonance comes from the closed form resonanace cavity produced in the space between the :earth: and the ionospHere ... which can be :egg: cited by lightning and solar winds, etc. Also the output is EMF like radio waves in particular ELF { :egg: tremely Low Frequency} radio waves.
Oh and iffen you fergetted the hooman :brain: entrains at that frequency :yes: oh and it's at the border between resting and sleeping so I thunked it could be important :oz:

And Covid :sigh: I went data searching the other day.
Found that our county is closer to 30% fully vaccinated which is a bit more than I thunk. (IF it's correct data).
Also found where they showed 0 new cases...day after day. Then BOOM! 147 new cases on 1 day. Then 0 again for several more days.
Obliviously they are not reporting in a timely fashion any more.
Vanderbilt still keeps doog records. :yes: But just of what they see, which is vastly different than rural areas.
Anyway, I read that the Delta variant has vastly different symptoms. :huh: Runny nose, sneezing, cough...little to no fever. :huh:
Like a cold...or allergies. And I dunno if these symptoms are just in the vaccinated, or overall.
As in, is the Delta variant a lesser sickness overall although way more contagious?
Wish I knew a SIGHintist. :pie:
Yesterday I was a new :moon: :blob:

:michafire: you needz an :electrocute: vehicle :yes:
No not a car :buttkick: but either a commuter scooter or ebike :yes: I'd say scooter or folding ebike ... they are not as fast BUT are lighter and can be easily brought inside with you. AND they can go uphillz :oz:
The Delta variant is what caused so many problems in India and deaths :sofa: the symptoms are mostly the same though more young peoplez caught it and atleast in India there were tons of secondary infections like black and white fungi :mushrooms: but those look linked to steroid use and the warm humid that is India :dunno:
For the most part the big changes are the more transmissible bit and effecting younger peoplez though Yale's study did sez sumthing about more cough :cs: and flu like symptoms and fewer loss of smell taste :dunno:
Overall it doesn't look like symptoms change all that much :dunno: also this is Delta not Delta Plus ... each variant can have slightly different symptoms and they will vary with people too. For instance the original flavour wuhan virus killed a lot of elderly chinese 80% of which were smokers and lived in the worst possible air pollution which some think is significant :whistle:
Oh and vaccine mostly high 80's and 90's against the delta so no worries :nono:

Quote from: Yale MedicineAnother question focuses on how Delta affects the body. There have been reports of symptoms that are different than those associated with the original coronavirus strain, Dr Yildirim says. "It seems like cough and loss of smell are less common. And headache, sore throat, runny nose, and fever are present based on the most recent surveys in the U.K., where more than 90% of the cases are due to the Delta strain," she says.

Still too HOT but the Heat Alert/Advisory is over :sofa:
Of course 131°F in Death Valley :faint: makes it a tie for HOT timez since like 1930's :eek:
It's almost like the climate is changing :hmm2:
According to PG&E there wasn't a rolling blackout yesterday instead we just had an immobile blackout ... prolly heat/AC related though siguie manor of course had none of that nonsense :bliss:
Apparently 1 people are interested in not losing power but not wanting to does eberythang needed to avoid it automagically. It makes for some interesting conversations too ... "how do I git eberythang you has but without any effort or :egg: pense?" Pray real hard :idunno: if there were an easier way I'd have done it by now so what am I supposed to say :dunno:
Though I've pointed out that batteries are getting cheaper and they might be able to git away with just a small one ... at which point they ask how many to power there AC :woe:
Anywho it's :bean: a weird day :huh:

And that iffin he can find a nearby (the now German-owned factry 2 miles down the road may has openings) position that allows time for still doing what he wants/likes here then he just may be able to push back the SS age....plus make more to up his payout. :doh:
SO that's where we at.
Today.

Truth is, who knows for sure what the future brings cuz yes, VIrginia, there IS climate change. :pie:
There is also social change, financial change (:nickel:), change in order for everything known to man.

Or just move to Mars (or somewhere) with Elon Musk. :rofl:
RIchard Branson just said that he is committed to spending the next 30 years (he's 70) working to improve the conditions & quality of life on Earth. But I also heard that Branson, Musk & Bezos all share a passion for continuing (seeding) the human race on another planet.
I guess I've aged out of being part of that mission :rofl: so that's why we'ze continuing on with our sustainable botanical-type gardens. :wiggle:
Have a happy day, y'all! :rstars:
We are in Rain Forest Mode here. :umbrella: And our temps have been average or slightly below. :yes:
So thankful to not be in drought, or wildfire, or heat dome or hurricane path or whatever. :sparkle:

I thunk it was as simple as a a natural planetary cycle. :dunno:
And no, I don't think it's caused by man, but I does believe that man can aggravate.
And I doesn't like the term Global Warming. :nonono: It's Climate Change. Pure & simple.
Goats! :no: Not unless they comes with more than a goggie to tend them! :no:
No more animules. Period. Unless...they comes with tenders. :chuckle: I told Zanna her goggies were welcome here as long as they came with peoples to tend them. :wub:
:hello: We've only used space heaters in the baby nursery...under row cover tents...on limited occasions.
And they worked beautifully. :yes: Much cheaper & more efficient than the propane heater we gots in there. :yes:
Seriously....the tables are 6-8'long, mini hoops are attached every 2-3', & cloth row covers tented over top. Then...a $12 space heater...on low...keeps that widdle tent plenty warm even on the coldest nights. :yes: We've also made a tall plastic tent over the germination table. :yes: It has heat mats so not much, if any, additional is required.
Not sure how you'd use a heat cable for flats on tables? :scatch: Cuz that's all there is to heat, besides the 20 x 100' Dance Hall.
They are super cool though...for specific usages.
We have planted a couple tropical thingies in the Dance Hall. As a spermint. :yes: A couple mandevillas & my jasmine plants (who are soo much happier in the ground). Those I plan to just mulch heavily & add additional cover iffin we get a deep freeze again.
The ground in there never freezes. :nonono: Most of it is covered with weed fabric with just enough exposed to plant in. :yes:
As for covid... :no:
Tanasi has made national news by firing the health director & making it illegal to have ANY outreach programs for vaccinating adolescents. :sigh: No shots in schools, no billboards, no promotion of vaccines period. :sigh:
yzarc.
And yes, I am constantly variable indeed. :asilly:

You might thinxz :electrocute: space heaters are cheaper to run than propane but :nono: Once you does the math you'll unerstanz :yes:
That's not to say there isn't a place for space heaters :nono: but it isn't monetary savings for heating large areas :whistle:
Also srsly you are already using heating mats and you cannot figure out how to use cable heaters more efficiently :woe: The cheapest mats heat less than 1/5th the smallest cable and are the same price :roll: Simply choosing the proper cable makes you 5 mat equivalents AND you can create warmer or cooler areas and no requirement to be square or rectangular :nono: You also can choose the buried or not buried versions AND iffen you noes what yer doesing :electrocute: ly speaking you can change the temperature to whatever ya likes :yes:
Also ideally you'd want the cables buried in sand or gravel, on a table is fine, and the plants on top of that instead of mats.
Now IF you was trying to maximize efficiency AND has temperature control you'd does the same thang but use pipe instead of cable and has a water storage tank {aka 5 gallon bucket} that you heat separately ... either with :electrocute: OR propane and use that water recirculating in the bed to heat the plants. IF done properly you could use solar and if not direct the CO2 from the propane heater into the plant enclosure.
OR just use compost heating and reflectors and neber has to worry about any of it :nono:
As for covid ... :hysterical: ... yer doomed :therethere:
Masks have been optional for more than a month now and still more than 50% of peoplez are wearing them here AND it's freaken HOT :gaah:

That video is old old news. :buttkick:
I been telling youse that since forever. :duh:
The brainwashing is real. And deep. And complete.
There is no virus. The vaccines are an ebil plot. It's no worse than a normal flu. BIden wants to destroy the economy. The Dems planned the whole thing to get Trump out of the White House. The election is stolen. :blah: :blah: :blah:
:no:
We're surrounded. :yes: And it's all on the Former Guy....and the conspiracies. :sigh:
But the scarier part is the number of people in those same states that still believe Trump is gonna be reinstated. :huh:
In August. :huh: And they are ready to fight. :sigh: Again. Even though capital insurrectionists are being prosecuted & jailed....that's not enough to make them disavow their loyalty to their Supreme Leader. :eek:
The illusion is real. :scared:
Some days I long for a life in an area full of like (or similar) minded people. :wubsigh:
But then I remember that I am where I am for a reason. :sparkle:
And for real, I noes that the 4-leggeds came to us just to keep us from :run: ning away.
Becuz, without all that 2020 brought out...the county pig magnate was enough to make us consider bolting... :run:
As for space heating....did you listen? :pie: We just heat tiny tents within the hoop. The air temperature in the tent can be 30 degrees but inside the tents it's 70. With little heaters on low. The electric bill was less than $50 per month whereas the propane heater burns up $100 worth of propane in 3 days. :eek:
And yes, hot water tables is on our :wish: list. For when we has time & monies. :check:
And heating cables may be a part of reconfiguration at some point. :check:
I does appreciate knowing about them. :yes: And does see future uses. :yes:
But for now, it's back to make do with what ya got. :yes: :pie:
ENERGIES!!!!! :aaahhh:
I am so so so thankful for my sanctuary. :hail: :flower: :treehug: :farmninja:
It's a big day today. :wiggle: We are gonna get to see the moobie Jacki went to Nashville to film. :happydance:
It's a private screening for actors tonight. Then a private youtube link. And then it won't offishully debut until October of 2022 at a TPAC Arts Shindig in Nashville. :faint: After that...Cannes. :rofl:

You think too much about money in the absolute :buttkick: In the end it ALL adds up $50 may not seem like a lot BUT that amount is more than I need to heat my entire home even without solar AND my per kW cost is stoopid :egg: pensive compared to yours.
Also srsly if yer tents are tiny and easy to heat why not use compost heating? :dunno: You peoplez are always mowing so compost heating should be pretty trivial to setup :oz:
Oooooh J ack i actressing :wubsigh: :gstars:

People belong to groups in order to feel they are part of something bigger and hang with like minded peoplez ... what they want to believe is their choice :yes: AND I thunked Trump said/implied he was running agin in 2024 :scratch:
Anywho the democrats were pretty similar when Hilary lost to Trump ... ok no covid and fewer rising from the dead to reclaim his seat kind of nonsense BUT plenty of they cheated ... the election was bought ... the american peoplez are being lied to ... :blah: :blah: :blah: etc. ad nauseam :whatever:
It's politics it's what happens ebery election git ober it :buttkick:
"Some days I long for a life in an area full of like (or similar) minded people. :wubsigh:

"As for space heating....did you listen? :pie: "
:woe: :hello: "Math" :hi: price per kW anyone :whistle:
You think too much about money in the absolute :buttkick: In the end it ALL adds up $50 may not seem like a lot BUT that amount is more than I need to heat my entire home even without solar AND my per kW cost is stoopid :egg: pensive compared to yours.
Also srsly if yer tents are tiny and easy to heat why not use compost heating? :dunno: You peoplez are always mowing so compost heating should be pretty trivial to setup :oz:
Oooooh J ack i actressing :wubsigh: :gstars:

Oh and stay safe! :uhoh:
It looks like thangs are turning south agin on the covid front ... in KalipHorniyaz LA county masks are being made mandatory agin for indoor ffuts, on account of Delta :sofa:
Essentially this is a few weeks earlier than I was :egg: pecting BUT there is renewed covid spread ... still low number of cases BUT :bump: ing :uhoh:
I'm not sure how to link to CNN videos 'cuz they tend to rotate BUT atleast for now this link highlights tanassi and says not only are they stopping covid outreach but ALL vaccine outreaches :woe:

Stopping vaccine outreach for adolescents. :yes: Becuz they were letting those 14 & up know they don't need parents' permission by law.
I look for the law to be changed soon as well. :sigh:
Nashville, Memphis, Jackson & Paris are all more progressive. :righton: The rest of the state :no:
But no...you can't compare the Hillary backlash to this. Her supporters were not willing to die for her....literally. They were not gonna storm the capitol to stop the official vote count. And they do not typically carry military grade weapons.
These supporters are more akin to cult members. No exaggeration.
I understanz it's hard to fully grasp unless you live amongst them...hear them...see them...[l]know[/l] them.
But trust me, this is not typical politics. :nonono:
We be ahight though. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
It's all in accordance with the prophecy. :rofl:

This is America ... eberyone can vote no matter how poorly edjumicated or emotionally challenged (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/pushing_flag.gif) ... ya noes 'cept for me 'cuz I'm :logic: incarnate aka British :bliss:
Um also ya noes there are plenty of psychotic :crazy: people willing to do whatever Hilary or any candidate sez ... they just haven't made it into the newses yet :nono: You cannot just say ALL Trump supporters support that capital insurrection thang and to be fair HE got the vaccine ... I'm really not sure why they are so against vaccinations :dunno:
I figurez it's just a lot of crazy people who gotted together and decided to support Trump 'cuz he's closer to their cause and he just went with it 'cuz it's a big support :bump: :dunno:
It's kinda like the way the Taliban supports China and claims China is their friend. China initially said nuh uh :nonono: BUT they'll find a way to downplay the supporting terrorist thang angle and use them somehow :yes:
It's the way of politics :om:
And speaking of politics covid19 delta flavour was doubling ebery 2 weeks now roughly 9 to 10 days ... ya noes in places with low vaccination rates :whistle:
Oh and one thang worrying me is that 99% to 99.8% of those being admitted to the hopsickle are non-vaccinated. This suggests there are more vaccine breakthrough cases in which people who are fully vaccinated are getting sick :uhoh: To be fair getting covid should occur to between 2% and 20% of those who are vaccinated BUT until recently 100% of those vaccinated have avoided death and or the ICU.
Unfortunately that is no longer the case :no: in Illinois there are currently 151 deaths of fully vaccinated individuals BUT there are no real details being reported :frantic:

Yeah I saw (Arakansa, I think) where 97% of those in hopsickle were unvaccinated.
AND...they has 7 kids (no ages given) in ICU. :sigh:
ALSO, loss of taste & smell is NOT a Delta symptom, they say. The symptoms are more like a cold....runny nose, sneezing.
That has not been very well 'advertised'. :nonono:
As for politics...I really don't give a :carp:
But I am fascinated with the psychology of the True Believers becuz I am surrounded by them. :eek:
And I feel sad for them becuz many I noes are good-hearted peoples who are simply sorely misled.
I'm talking about cousins, brothers-in-laws, Aunts & Uncles....peoples I noes quite well. :sigh:
Zen Aunt bought a t-shirt that says, "Love Them Anyway". Becuz some of these peoples are much closer to her...one quite outspoken is/was a very close friend of 40+ years. That on, in particular, is ready to march to TImbucktoo for Trump still today...and sadly she & ZA haven't spoken in nearly a year (she used to come stay with her 2 or 3 weeks out of a year).
So that's my thing....understanding what makes otherwise ordinary people go gaga (:bsc:) over a man who lies.
I think part of it is the celebrity factor. I mean, he's like Elvis or the Beatles to some of these peoples.
And that's becuz they watched (& cheered for) him on the Apprentice for however many years.
It's more than politics. :yes:
Elsewise...
back to my sanctuary I goes... :flowerom:
OH & STFAFP!!!!!

Gosh I misses Zanna. :luvcry:

"So that's my thing....understanding what makes otherwise ordinary people go gaga (:bsc:) over a man who lies. "
Biden lies :yes: pretty much eberyone in politics lies :yes: Trump just does it embarrassingly boldly :elvis:
Also keep in mind that most people who support him or really any politician for that matter don't care what he/they say :nono: Only powerless voters listen to the wurdz :blah: :blah: those people who contribute significantly to a politicians fund raising are bidding on getting a change in their favour :yes: Oh and while it's not a gurantee the more a candidate spends on advertising the more likely they will win and this has been true for decades :oz:
Anywho Trumps less vocal and more restrained supporters are asian americans as well as a large number of Indians {which technically are also "asian" but are usually added separately) then of cousrse large less scrupulous corporations and of course otherwise well to do investors :whistle: Now of course there are a lot of middle east supporters 'cuz Trump literally pulled off The Abraham Accords against all odds :faint:
One of the big misconceptions in the US is that one party or the other {Democrat or Republican} is responsible for ALL thangs doog :roll: The reality is that both parties are seriously borked :yes: The reason thangs are generally "doog" is that they counter :balance: each other. The virtues of one party fixing the deficits of the other and both being unbelievably shortsighted in that first 100 day period :wall: Srsly they undo eberythang they can in those first hunert daze without thinking :gaah:
Anywho this is why I stay out of the whole mess BUT keep a close eye on the churning morass of entangled regulations and the international quagmire the US is always in :sofa:
As for covid and mask wearing I was really thinking it would be closer to September as in if not afores Labour Day things would go south badly afterwards. But it looks like the South is pushing for a quicker turnaround :whistle:
The doog news is dad is in a 75%+ vaccination area as am I :woohoo: :cheer: This means with those who have had covid afores we are almost certainly in a herd immunity zone :yesss: On the other hand tanasi not so much :therethere:
Oh and yeah the loss of smell and taste is purty much a covid original flavour symptom BUT can still occur in any variant it's just not as common as a precursor to the "cold" symptoms though more pronounced in ICU level patients :yes:
Oh and yeah Biden nailed it with the current pandemic in the US as a pandemic of the un-vaccinated :yes:
I think the biggest tragedy is that the US purchased enough vaccine to fully vaccinate EBERYONE Twice over but currently there is just under 50% vaccinated :wall: That's atleast 150million other people who wanted the vaccine bur couldn't get it :sigh:
In the next few weeks if no new variant displaces the delta from the top position there is both doog and bad news :yes:
The delta which is estimated at 225% more infectious than the original should "appear" to make a dramatic surge :bump: in the next 2 weeks ... 'cuz no masks and this current surge is from July 4th :whistle: Anywho, we should be back to the March/April numbers by the beginning of August and by the end of August :sofa:
That's a reasonable :egg: pectation 'cept that there are clusters of highly vaccinated peoplez :flex: that could prevent proper geometric :egg: progression :dunno:
The doog news is the vaccine werks really doog even against the delta :thumbs: This is that Darwinian Lesson I mentioned happening earlier :whistle:

Ya'll been busy :bee: s...
Climate change is here. Whether brought on because that's what the cycle is, or by hoo mans, ain't gonna change the change...We gotta
adapt. We also don't need to pour more gas on the fire. We need to be more mindful of this one pebble we are perched on cuz seeding hoo mans is a long ways off. It ain't just about climate. It's about air, land, water quality. So, bein' environmentally aware is a necessity.
That bein said, I complained about :rain: , and now I find myself still complaining about :rain: . :huh: :bsl:
The boids are makin' a killin' on earthworms. Honestly, they're hilarious to watch in the fields and grassy places.
Flash flooding is more an issue for longer than usual. Last time, we had awful flooding. The storms are pretty strong this year. Lots of damage with every one of them, it seems.
Whelp, the child one the covid pool. He said July/Aug. I was more in Sig's range-Sept. Looks like it's creeping steadily now. We're still holding down to half the numbers this time last July, the numbers are climbing again. We shall see. Whether we want to or not.
Folks are behavin' as usual. It seems like the number of whackadoodles is definitely on the rise as well here....
Even the Floridah man is bein' whackier than usual. The latest stunt was stealing an alligator from a putt putt course and tryin' ta toss it onto a casino roof because he was tryin' to teach it a lesson. He has been arrested for burglary and injuries to an alligator. I wish they'd elaborate on what lesson Floridah man was tryin' to teach the poor critter.
Politcs. Two wings same bird. Free theatre iffin ya likes soap operas.

EXactly!
All of it. :righton:
And sig, I totally get that about 'your' Trump supporters. I'm just surrounded by the brainwashed (fear-filled) ones who also deny vaccinations in the name of Trump.
Yes, I knows...you knows...he gotted the vaccination. And he told peoples to take it. Once. But the early cries of hoax and no worse than the flu and rallying cries of anti-government & mistrust of science has stuck. :sigh:
And the choosing of sides is costing peoples families...and jobs...and friendships.
But thing is, those on the Trump side view Unity & Oneness as a 'side'. :sigh:
But no...he didn't start it. :nonono: He just empowered it. :yes:
After 9/11, in Louisville, I went to Target wearing a t-shirt that said, "Peace Love Life". :peace: It was an Old Navy Christmas t. :chuckle:
I was approached by an older lady in the parking lot who 'scolded' me & said, quite snippily, "How on Earth can you wear a shirt like that at a time like this?". :huh:
I says, sheepishly, "Peace? Love? Life?" :scratch:
She says haughtily, "You know full well what I mean. Be more thoughtful about what you broadcast."
This time I says, :huh:
And got in my car & left. :wtf:
I don't choose sides. I'm not 'allowed' to. :chuckle:
B does. :yes: And I am forever telling him what you both done said.
Once more...I am simply seeking understanding of what makes the loyalists so loyal.
Becuz...once again...90% of the peoples here are waiting for the reinstatement of the rightful president. :sigh:
And they has guns. Lots of them. And ammo. Lots of it. And they are ready to take up arms when called.
One cousin-in-law said he'd been stockpiling his whole life just for this moment. His wife (my cousin) has juvenile diabetes, an insulin pump, works cutting hair at a nursing home, & flat out refuses the vaccine. :sigh: And they has a beautiful 2 year old. :yes:
:sigh:
This is why I put any energy at all into the mess. :angel: So many stories just like them. :book:
And fwiw...we are not the least bit afraid for our lives. :nonono:
Just sad for the misinformed.

:darn:
In my defense I really thunked the vaccinating woulda made it beyond 50% I mean srsly a year+ of lockdown and finally a vaccine miracle arrives :magic: Also iffen so many people don't want it AND at the time kidz 18 and under weren't eligible WHY was the rollout such a :carp: fest :gaah:
It's barely :bean: one month in masklos KalipHorniyaz {srsly June 15th was when it started} and the numbers were doog ... whoda thunk the next :wave: was one month away ... yeah yeah I noes a Panda childe :hmm:
:kickcan:
"Once more...I am simply seeking understanding of what makes the loyalists so loyal. "
Um srsly ... it's the same thang it always is :yes: THEY believe what they believe and want it to be true. Trump wants to lead {aka wants followers} and is close enough in desires/beliefs to be considered one of them.
Followers follow the one they beleeb in whether it's Biden or Trump just depends on the core beliefs or desires and who shares them :yes:
Anywho I'm ok with people having :guns: and knives, bows 'n arrows, Anthrax for hunting, etc. :thumbs:
Oh personally I was a Bernie supporter :yes: Trump freaked out the US long time allies like Germany, Great Britain, the UK, etc. and they really hated dealing with him BUT he did Great thangs for asia in general as well as the middle east and even Russia and North Korea. It's like :enorah: sed "agent of change" :angel:
Anywho pandemic for the un-vaccinated I'm torn between feeling slightly bad for them and just letting thangs :bee: ya noes in Darwin's name :cleanse:
Also no it's NOT misinformation causing the problems :nono: that's just a polite redirection of efforts. Some people adamantly do not want it and that's 25% :check: Their :brain: s are not going to be changed :nono: the remaining 25% just don't want to has to think about it and are happy enough hoping they will avoid it as they have so far. Sure some people read bad info and believed it but part of "belief" involves accepting something as true. This means scientifical evidence or just really wanting the bad information to be valid.
At this point people know there is bad information out there, if the evidence doesn't convince them then you are just hoping to change someones belief ... and yeah like that's gonna werk :roll:

Today feelz like another Thursdazing :gaah:
Supposedly cooler than predicted but still 80's :tantrum:
Covid went from doubling every 2 weeks to 10 days and as of today just 7 days :uhoh: Still in KalipHornyaz the hospitalizations are 99% unvaccinated but dang the UK is having surges and one scary statement was that 60% of patients in the UK are from unvaccinated which suggests 40% ARE vaccinated :scratch: I dunno if that's right but it would suggest a variant is very close to ignoring the vaccine :dunno:
:horror:

:hello: If you don't test & don't report then the varus (phonetic :hayseed: pronunciation) is gone! :clap:
:bsl:
As for Chloe... yes... :sigh: . But after Vermont fell through...and she'd already leased out her house...the bad idea of moving into her ex's lasted less than 2 weeks. :rofl:
Anyway...she's gotta go. :yes:
Somewhere. :yes:
And I personally feel it's always good to go somewhere where there are peoples who love you unconditionally. :wub:
She's a gorgeous 27 year old blonde...alone. And I was seriously concerned about her moving way far off alone. :uhoh:
Axshully she's not alone now. She has Biscuit, a 1 year old male corgi. :dog: :rofl:
She has a bachelor's in literature :chuckle: & a yoga certificate from some school in India :chuckle: and has done everything from sewing canvas boat covers to bar tending to teaching preschool & teaching elementary school art to librarian to teaching yoga to teaching sail camp to waiting tables to ... well.... :rofl:
she's a :ninjamermaid: Zanna clan through & through. :windy: :wub:
I mean, in college she once flew to Tokyo for Thanksgiving to stay with an exchange student she barely knew. :rofl:
Super smart, resourceful & seriously misunderstood. :dizzyblonde:
Mom & ZA are searching for a rental for her & Biscuit & she's already applied to openings at Bethel University. :book:
She also has a super green thumb & loves to cook as much as I do. :hi5: :farmhand:
We are all excited for her to come. :yes:
But yeah, Vermont :wubsigh: I desperately wanted to move there when I was about her age, too. :yes:

Yeah hot :blonde: wiminz can always find someone willing to help :yes:
Vermont is an awesome place :wubsigh: but cost of living is high and there's not much nuf to does. That's why I think Colorado is a better choice BUT I'd be happy in Vermont iffene I had cable :yes:
Still tanassi. :wall:
Oh we don't has a mask mandate BUT 90% of people's on the street are already making up :thumbs:

Someone to help... :yes: But no real friends. :nonono:
Zanna & I talkeded about the Curse of the Beautiful Blonde. :sigh:
It's hard to make friends & hard to be taken seriously. :yes:
Easy to open doors, but hard to stay inside once you walk through.
And the curseded part of all is that they has a real hard time loving themselves
& their self-esteem suffers. :sigh:
it's the other extreme of peoples who are judged by deformities or disabilities.
Jacki is so super excited. :excited: Chloe has always been amazing with her. :righton: They are pals. :wig: :gle:
And good for each other. :sparkle:
Anyway....we has a :fullmoon: approaching does we not? :eek: :scratch: It was shinning quite magnificiently last night...though not yet filled out, I'm thinking the 23rd...but I shall go find out. :matt:
Energies are still tense. :sofa:

Dr. Sigster,
Please splain me somethin?
All they are talking bout now is "breakthrough infections" & the number of peoples who are fully vaccinated but test positive.
NBA players...olympiads & more are having to miss big events due to positive test even though they are fully vaccinated.
Peoples are quarantining left & right though their symptoms are mild or nil.
My understanding was that the mRNA vax were NEVER going to prevent infection anyway. :huh:
They were teaching the body to recognize & fight off the infection WHEN we get it. :huh:
So why are the smarty smarts making a big deal about positives? In fields where testing is routine then there will be more & more positives. For ordinary folks, like us, there are no tests so no positive results (hey, some former president guy said stop the testing waaay back when :rofl: )
The messaging seems quite muddy. :crazyeyes: And reinforces the anti-vaxers beliefs that the vaccine is unnecessary anyway.
Or am I wrong? (open door for you :wedgie: )
I did read a legitimate seeming article though that says that Pfizer may not be as effective against Delta as previously thought. More like 60% efficacy. AND...that max effects may wane after 3-4 months.
Jacki had Pfizer. In early January. :faint:
And yes, we are masked....always distanced :flowerom: ... and back to severely limiting outings for her, in particular.

"So why are the smarty smarts making a big deal about positives?"
Because the vaccinated are the least likely to become sick or show symptoms {antibodies etc.} it means they either had very significant :egg: possure to someone spreading the disease or the virus is becoming adapted against the vaccine effects. Either is bad and both require investigating, however, all infected {testing positive} should be quarantined :yes:
As for effectiveness of vaccines ... the Pfizer vaccine is prolly one of the best :yes: however the main issue is it's very difficult to understand "breakthrough" results because currently 99.5% of those who died are unvaccinated. Breakthrough numbers are only significant when you start talking about thousands of results. The current numbers just are not high enough to git definitive results.
I think currently this is the "best" overall assessment ...
Here's How Well COVID-19 Vaccines Work Against the Delta Variant (https://www.healthline.com/health-news/heres-how-well-covid-19-vaccines-work-against-the-delta-variant)
That said I does noes that getting a booster 6 months after the last Pfizer shot produces roughly 10 timez betterer response even over the 2nd jab :yes: It's one reason Israel is allowing immune compromised individuals a 3rd booster.
On the other hand J&J while not being as effective at preventing infection is one of the best at avoiding hopsikilization and presumably death since those breakthrough numbers are lower than even the other ones :angel:
That said I'm still considering and by considering I mean I would does it iffen it's legal ... to git a Moderna jab :yes: ... especially iffen I can git one that would be just afores it :egg: pires. I figure if it's gonna be thrown out anyways I'll take it :yes:
Oh and by the way the delta is more infective prolly on account it produces about 1000 times more of itself aka viral load. This also means that the person getting infected might be :egg: posed to vastly more viruses in the beginning.
There is a strong correlation between intenity of infection and the initial viral or exposure load :uhoh: So mask up :thumbs:

So. This critter has learned to replicate at a much faster rate than its ancestor. Which means there is about a 1k times more of them running through a host in the initial stage while the immune process is kicking in.
Them's some pretty loaded sneezes, coughs, breaths coming out. Large enough quantities that makes 6 ft kinda useless. :hmm2:
Say the vaccines help in terms of the mitigation of the infection. But, could a vaccinated person still be a sort of carrier? Could they, with that fast a viral load going on, be "spreading" prior to the immune kick-in?

Yes the delta appears to has both a faster/shorter reproductive time frame meaning the incubation time seems to be shorter AND it produces a higher viral load in those infected which makes spreading easier simply because there is more of it to go around :yes:
The speed at which it reproduces AND the larger viral loads available for initial :egg: posure is likely what is making the delta so dangerous, and possibly more deadly {more virus fast afores the body retaliates}.
Here's a nature.com article How the Delta variant achieves its ultrafast spread (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01986-w)
"Say the vaccines help in terms of the mitigation of the infection. But, could a vaccinated person still be a sort of carrier? Could they, with that fast a viral load going on, be "spreading" prior to the immune kick-in?"
Yes :yes: but that's ALWAYS the case ... ideally people like to think that vaccinated people, develop an immune response against a virus before it can spread BUT that's really a vague statistical view based on the idea that the virus needs to achieve a specific nnumber before it's considered a credible threat.
In theory any virus even one you are naturally immune to could infect a single cell before the body reacts. That cell then goes through lysis releasing a payload of new viruses. The odds of any single virus getting out of the body and infecting another is very very small BUT Not zero :nono:
The more viruses there are the better their chances but sadistically their is a minimum number to be considered a threat ... I don't noes what that number is for the delta but likely it is the same as for covid ... just more viruses so better spreading and more likely to infect.
For bacteria it's similar ... like for anthrax that number is 1000 spores to infect someone/thang. It's not that 1000 spores entering or touching a victim guaranteez infection BUT that's the concentration at or above is a credible threat and below represents danger :angel:

Pretty much what I noed, but I still has a very unsettledness when it comes to Jacki. :yes:
Pfizer on 1/8. (Mom & Za had Moderna on 12/24)
And amember her 102.7 degree fever? And (thankfully) short-lived catatonic-like state?
I ain't telling her yet but her/our days of dining in have come to a pause once again. :yes:
It ain't a big deal as we've only eaten in a restaurant a few times anyway. :wiggle:
BUt the telling her she can't IS a big deal.
She will say :no:
:bsl:
My point was, tho, that it seems very few peoples axshully understand that the mRNA vaccines were never designed to prevent infection or transmission anyway. The telling of peoples that they could go masklos if fully vaccineated (which EVERYONE here SUDDENLY said they was vaccinated & even threw away mask) never made sense to me at all. :crazyeyes:

Say what? :scratch:
They does :egg: actly the same as what other vaccines does just in a different way. Neither magically protects you with :woo: :vibes: or star trekkian force fields :nono:
They basically tellz yer body ... "this guy is bad news so killz him when you seez him and here's how" ... what yer body decides to does and how fast it does it is up to it :yes:
Some peoplez mount a tremendous defense and when the thang attacks they go in ablazin :guns: :boom: and afores the virus can git out of the body it's dead Jim :yes: Others may have a short lived cold :cs: and still others ... a very tiny number and usually with severely compromised immune systems might does nuthin and that's bad :uhoh:
The main thang a vaccine does is slow the transmission rate by increasing the speed at which an immune system responds to a specific threat. Preventing or reducing a colds severity and saving lives is literally just the side effect ... which is what's promoted because that's what people unerstanz :roll:
The thang about vaccines and why EBERYONE needz to has them and how it relates to that whole herd immunity thang is based on competing rate dynamics. Savings lives is one thang and it's all nice 'n eberythang but unrelated to stopping the pandemic :naughty:
So forget about lives just look at how the :blob: travels ... when the rate of transmission is one, each infected person is infecting only one other {like dominos in a line} and the pandemic is no longer growing, when it's less than one it's slowly dying out. A vaccine simply lowers the transmission rate with the hope that lowering it enough will eventually cause the :blob: to die out and stop finding more hosts.
If a vaccine makes you :blob: proof well cool that counts as reducing the transmission rate :thumbs:
Herd immunity is just that point where the virus is no longer able to find people to infect either because too many have had it and recovered or they plus the vaccinated are acting as blockers and preventing transmission :buttkick:
With covid original flavour herd immunity should be around 70% so 50% vaccinated plus 15% recovered put many states right in that 70% zone so covid would be :egg: pected to fade away BUT the delta is 225% more transmissible :gaah: so that herd immunity number has to increase either more vaccinated or more infected and recovered :sigh:
There are THREE aspects to transmission rates 1) infectious individuals 2}susceptible individuals and 3)effective contact between the two.
Each aspect is an area where the propagation chain can be broken ... 3) is the bit being emphasized ... masks reduce transmissibility so does distancing and doog hygiene etc. 1) only option is quarantine or somehow cure :dunno: but 2) is where vaccines come in as well as recovered individuals but vaccination keeps you out of the trinity of terror :horror:

So one last question...if a person has had & recovered from covid Alpha or whatever it was last winter, are they immune from Delta?
Or is it now a completely different beast? :scartch:
In other newses... we have an air quality alert! :scared: Poor air quality yesterday & today. :huh:
Due to WIldfire smoke! :campfire:
What the?
I do not recall a pollution alert here ever before. :nonono:
And we gots a Callyfornya haze... :hippy:

We had a day of poor air quality alert too. It was explained that the wildfire smoke had managed to get into the jet stream, and unexpectedly did not stay in the upper atmosphere, but dropped. It was hazy here. I stayed inside that day, and put off trimming the shrub out front, and other weeding. Thanks to the storms and stuff, the next day was clear. So, I gots my shrub hair cutted. :thumbs:
I'm guessing here, but I would say the vaccine will help dampen the viral load associated with Delta. The replicating mutation being the concern. So, it will not be full on fubar, and if the body responds fast, it becomes a non-issue. I'm sure Sig will correct if I'm on the wrong path of thought.
Then there's this. Stanford Uni reports 7 breakthrough cases. That's 7 in one place. It's like a cluster, which is concerning to me.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/stanford-university-reports-breakthrough-cases-covid-19-fully/story?id=79007407
Also, those numbers are still rising. USA is at the top of the global list in new cases as of today. Also, about a 3rd of states reported over 1k new cases. About 3 wks ago none of the states were reporting over 1k. Not even the dreaded Floredah. That state's number for yesterday was over 10k. I expected this, but not this early. :eek:
For today, I'm back out in my yard for a pleasant sort of "normal" summer day. I have babies to watch grow on my zucchini, tomatos and beans. :wub:

Yes the vaccine will help "dampen" the viral load :yes: it's just a result of your body hasing previously "seen" the :blob: in vaccine mug shot form and noes what to does more rapidly preventing the :blob: from getting as far as it coulda.
"So one last question...if a person has had & recovered from covid Alpha or whatever it was last winter, are they immune from Delta?
Or is it now a completely different beast? :scratch: "
Oh that's a doog question :yes: ... surprisingly :faint: AND it is one that Cleveland hopsickle looked at early on when the vaccine was just becoming available. They did it to see if it was necessary to vaccinate medical staff who had recovered from covid :yes:
The answer is "immune" :check: and doog to goes :thumbs: no vaccine needed here :nono: In fact those who recovered were "more immune" aka betterer at fighting off variants than there vaccinated counterparts. Though it was a relatively small study and you cannot directly compare the immune functions of a 60's+ nurse with a 20 sumthin intern BUT in addition to immune T-cells which is what most studies measure there was a whole lot more brought in to play by those who had recovered from the original flavour covid :yes:
Basically delta and or the plus variant no big deal for those who recovered from covid à la carte :nono:
In other wurdz save the vaccine for those who need it was the take home message :oz:
The Stanford 7 is definitely troubling especially since they are part of the Santa Clara area which has one of the highest levels of vaccinations :uhoh: BUT Stanford is srsly monitoring eberyone and was :check: ing students weekly :faint: The thang is they showed symptoms so were quickly identified AND they are students :roll: ... though now quarantined there's nothing else really mentioned or known. Since they were vaccinated they are likely showing only mild symptoms and of roughly 8300 vaccinated students, sadistically one should :egg: pect ~400 {aka 5%} breakthrough possibilities.
By being vaccinated they most likely have mild and short lived symptoms AND were identified because Stanford is actively monitoring their students AND the students were told to report for testing if showing any signs :yes:
Breakthrough cases are going to be the next big thang :yes: and there's gonna be lotsa questions about which vaccine is better for the variants and or boosters with the same or different vaccine ... it's :egg: pected :angel:
Also it's gonna :bee: a tough call :yes: personally as long as I don't need to pay for them I'd collect the whole set :thumbs: though I'd prolly time each shot roughly 1 month apart :oz:
The thang is I already noes that Moderna and Pfizer are best against Delta BUT my J&J shot while only 67% effective against the delta has other additional benefits including aging betterer :oz: As in there is no identified diminution in effectiveness over time {atleast 8 months} plus it's very doog against the South African variant ... which nobody cares about now :sigh: BUT most importantly it's doog overall against dying which I consider a plus :angel:
Oooh air pollution :wubsigh: Yes, I noes I has weird interests :whatever: ... normally I'd recommend purpleair.com BUT you both live in low tech zones :horror: so I recommend ventusky..com down near the bottom on the left there's an Air Quality option just be sure it is set to PM2.5 ... though it looks like tanassi is down to around 80AQ and Pan's area between 40 and 50 which isn't terrible :nono: AND doog reasons to wear masks :thumbs:
I'm currently at 18 and siguie manor is a 0 or 1 'cuz I'm me :bliss:
Friday :yesss: :bliss2:
FYI: the majority of covid infections likely come from aerosolized PM2.5 particles or atleast that was the case for original covid. Larger particles tend to settle out of the air while very fine particulate size can travel further but the reduced moisture content makes viable virus less likely :egg: cept in very humid environments. Anywho there is a paper in Nature from 28 January 2021 "Particulate matter (PM2.5) as a potential SARS-CoV-2 carrier (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-81935-9)".
The point is that yer masks have a rating and PM2.5 should be more than enough especially iffen you are vaccinated :thumbs: Iffen ya want more and betterer protection dobule masking or a betterer mask will help but at this point eye and or head coverings would prolly be advisable :oz:
In other newses ... I bought 2 new dehumidifiers OK tech :nickel: ly 3 :whistle: but two FULL figured machines :angel:
K mostly dad wanted one ... not 'cuz he wants to dehumidify a room so much ... his bedroom has a 4 gallon humidifier 'cuz it gits too dry BUT when the temps in the 90's AND the humidifier is on thangs can git a little out of hand especially when the room cools off and the RH% gits :bump: ed :whistle:
Anywho they are all from Amazon and I can asplain :yes: though most of it is in the Anyone Interested Thread :oz:
The one I bought for dad should arrive Thursday :fist: is the Honeywell TP50AWKN (https://amzn.to/3y15DTy) ... it's way WAY too big for dad BUT he was intrigued by what I was doesing with my old frigidaire dehumidifier which is AtmospHeric Water Harvesting. I woulda gotted him the 70 pint model {this is the 50 pint} but the 50 pint is quieter and will actually fit next to his Humidifier which can output 50pints ... I just like the ying yang :balance:
It's also Amazon Alexa compatible so I can fix it or turn it on for him when he gits annoyed that the :button: s don't werk ... srsly it's weird he has the hardest time making touch sensors werk :dunno:
Anywho while browsing for my dads dehumidifier I noticed this one AIRPLUS 70 Pints 4,500 Sq. Ft. Dehumidifier (https://amzn.to/3kMphPn) a 70 pint dehumidifier for $133 :faint: there must be sumthin wrong ... I want one :yes: ... so it's showing up Wednessday :oz:
I noes the Honeywell one is doog AND it can werk at lower temps soI'll prolly just take it straight over and let him has it.
The AirPlus on the other hand should be inerestin to test :yes: though iffen it's :carp: I'll just send it back :buttkick:

Ok did a little more in depth research for "breakthrough" cases and now I can see why it's so hard to figure out.
Most breakthrough cases are caught during routine screenings. The majority of hopsicklized "breakthrough" cases are caught during screening of new patients being admitted. Roughly 30% are asymptomatic and those showing symptoms some may or may not be related to covid. Of those who were hopsickilized and died {less than 2% of the known breakthrough cases at this time} it's not clear what roll covid played as the average age was 82 and there were many other comorbidities.
Here's the thang ... assuming 160 million vaccinated individuals in the US one should :egg: pect roughly or up to 8 million breakthrough cases {based on 95% effectiveness}.
So far there are ~11k reported, the majority picked up during a routine screening process. Of the 995 hopsickiized ... the majority was not for covid or atleast not solely for covid. The way the papers are wurded, makes me believe atleast some were solely due to covid infection but I'm guessing they couldn't completely rule out comorbidities especially with age being a factor.
All in all I has to say the US vaccines are freakishly AWESOME :happydance:
However, yes the main groups like the CDC are being particularly tight lipped :sealed: prolly 'cuz they don't want people flipping out when they find one vaccine appears better than another. Also most people want to believe if you git the vaccine you cannot git sick ... that's just not the case :nono: odds are up to 8 million may experience cold or flu like symptoms which is indeed covid :yes: What IS the case is having had the vaccine, currently, there is less than 1/300,000 of one percent chance of getting sick enough to be hopsickilized AND you may need to have other comorbidities afores a hopsickle is necessary :dunno:
Final verdict US vaccines are dang fine :thumbs: unvaccinated 20% chance to go to the hopsickle and between 1% and 2% of dying there :whistle:

SIg, your dad has touch screen issues likely due to cold fingers. :yes:
BM (Before Menopause :chuckle: ) I had a hard time with my iPad in the winter. :shiver:
I had to wear touch screen compatible gloves. :yes:
So...you boys are making distilled water?
:rofl:
As for covid ffuts.... I'ze still concerned about Jacki. :yes: We are going to the last moobie for awhile tomorrow afternoon. :yes:
Just to our local widdle theater where the seats are not plush & the aisles are 6+' apart & there will be very few peoples.
And then, we shut it back down. :sigh:
It really is like taking candy from a baby. :chuckle: She reacts so dramatically... :no:
In other newses B is getting lots of boj leads & has 2 interviews lined up next week already.
The hardest part will be in choosing which boj to accept. :chuckle:
Happy day after :fullmoon:
The Olympic opening ceremony was :egg: cellent. The athletes are so awesome, the :earth: relations so awesome....we just gotta find a way to does it more practically. It's a huge waste of resources to build big arenas & venues for single-use porpoises. :nonono:

Deja Vu on the humidifiers. :huh:
Iffin yer gut is tellin' you to rein in J's exposure, then follow it. She shall adjust because she can does that. Eben if she :drama: at first. She knows. :hug:
:b: is gonna be fine with the job thingies. :thumbs:
Covid. :sigh:
According to where I goes for the latest stats, Global new cases are climbing (and have been). As of yesterday, the reported new cases were 571,482. On that same date 7/23 last year, the new cases reported were 279,073. As will be remembered, there were issues with accurate testing/reporting, but I feel aside from that, the increased number is significant.
The USA was enjoying about a month of not bein' in the #1 spot for reported new cases for about 3 wks. That has changed too. It's back to bein' #1, reporting 64,095 new cases Thursday, and that increased Friday to 67,485. Among our states, we WERE enjoyin' reports of >1k new cases in all of the states. That started creepin' up too. As of yestereday, we have 18+ states reporting well over 1k new cases daily. Florida reported 13,526 yesterday. The Golden State reported 9,506. My state, which had been enjoying a substantial drop in rank is now back up to #7 with 2,024 new cases. Tanassi is at #10 with only 1,527 cases. I gots a problem with that number though (sorry Asiel). Somethin' is off kilter about how they report. :hmm2:
What reported breakthroughs we've gotten is within parameters. But how can we trust that accuracy? Scattered catches, so I question it. Bottom line is, breakthroughs are still far more mild to the host than full on infections would be thanks to the vaccine. It may not stop it, but it definitely mitigates. My concern is the rapid replication and resulting viral load that occurs afores the "mitigation" kicks in. Mild, asymptomatic cases are sneaky spreaders.
Iffin I could get the vaccine, I would go with Moderna hands down. I dunno. I has favorites. My concern now, is effifacy. Are we talkin' 3 mos, 6 mos, a year? Yet it's too soon to make that call. We won't know for sure, until we're given the time to know. That ain't nobody's fault.
Nuff said about that :blob:
I'm thinkin' today is a good day to paint the front porch. And also be a helicopter mom with my garden babies. :thumbs:
It's pleasant for most of the day. The humidity and storming is coming tonight.
Collective burn out here when it comes to masks, and whatever else. Folks are doing okay but looked shell shocked.
However, the boids are singin' and the crickets are startin' up. :bliss:

Hot AF here & B just deep cleaned our front porch. :hi5:
Yeah....Tanasi has been cheating all along. :sigh: Even with the deaths. If a person had comorbidities & then gotted covid they list cause of death as the comorbidity. Or even pneumonia.
And of course tests are few & far between. :sigh:
BUT...they DID restart the vaccine outreach program. After national negative attention :chuckle:
And a famous conservative radio personality in Nashville who downplayed the virus & poo pooed the vaccines is in critical condition in the hospital with covid. Through his brother he has issued an apology & is begging peoples to get vaccinated.
So there's hope. :sparkle: There's always hope. :heart:
As for the job.....yeah. I just want this to be his last job. :rofl: And I want him to be in a more 'enlightened' place. :yes:
But...right on time our tax refund finally came through (we filed in early March!). With interest, they paid. :faint:
And it's enough to last us a good 2 months or more so he can relax & be sure to accept the job he really wants & not settle. :clap:
And yeah... J ack i knows. :sparkle: She just likes to make a scene! :hysterical:
Boy oh boy she'd be good in Hollywood. :drama:

Which is not logical. Logic dictates that the move would be smart, and sensible. :gaah:
It's that something, something feeling. :dunno:
So, night and it's time for :popcorn: and the next episode of Elementary.
I done :run: through all of the Star Treks. Sisko's ending is still my least favorite.

"Tanassi is at #10 with only 1,527 cases. I gots a problem with that number though (sorry Asiel). Somethin' is off kilter about how they report. :hmm2: "
Wait what? :huh: that cannot be :nonono:
:hysterical: Oh my gosh tanassi, floriduh, louisianaz, alabambeduh :wall: the only way you can git a reasonable idea is by going by historical death rate and while you can git some monthly data it's mostly disseminated as yearly data so it's not much help for current prognosticating :sigh:
Oh and yeah their data is just lies :roll: and it gits really sad when they try to unfudge their numbers to git guberment monies :woe: or vaccine priority like they did in the beginning :ashamed:
Yup what she sed ... iffen sumthin don't seem quite right pull in on the reigns :thumbs: She's adoog :bat: person :batman: :beerme:
Doog boj with the :b: boj and or no rush needed :thumbs: Keep in mind the coviditytm :siguie: in yer area is gonna pickup so some shaking ups is to be :egg: pected :therethere:
"And a famous conservative radio personality in Nashville who downplayed the virus & poo pooed the vaccines is in critical condition in the hospital with covid. Through his brother he has issued an apology & is begging peoples to get vaccinated. "
Darwin's lessons are sometimes the hardest to learn :yes: but the freakishly hard thang to git my :brain: around is that the US numbers are more than 90+% due solely to the unvaccinated :faint: and more than 99% of the hopsickilized and death count are again those unvaccinated :sofa:
At any rate there is a certain mathematical symmetry to the whole thang :yes: half of the US is vaccinated which reduces the number of susceptible individuls by almost :egg: actly half. If you think of the susceptibility as area and those vaccinated as islands in the area in order for the virus to reach the same number as last year it needs to be almost :egg: actly 200% more infectious which it is :balance:
In other wurdz with the current state of the US the numbers we saw afores should be almost :egg: actly the same when this thing gits going agin and that's with what is essentially half the population :yes:
Oh Pan yeah I likes Moderna too :thumbs: as for how long the protection lasts that's literally being constantly tested now :yes: and so far it's still doog :yes: I noes there is some drop off in the :egg: tremely immune compromised and atleast some in the 90+ group BUT not much :nono: and these are all solely T-cell numbers there are actually quite a bit more going on that's not being measured :yes:
In lots of other countries the vaccines chosen often have not been as effective and that's a reason for the even larger surge than normal. People got vaccinated with ineffective vaccines then ran around masklos and yeah bad got worser :sigh:
Anywho, it's gonna be atleast another year afores the whurled gits vaccinated sufficiently and there's a doog chance a new vaccine will be required by the time this covid madness is ready to end :gaah:
Oh and the Lambda variant made it to tejas :uhoh: Honestly I'm not sure why it made it into the "variants of interest" group ... it looks pretty much original flavour covid :dunno:
In other newses ... the blood donations people :suck: are purty desperate and are offering $10 Amazon gift cards :yes: I thunked they would be a big source of "breakthrough" case numbers but their donations are so far below average that nu uh :nono: Yes some but not that many :sigh:
Oh Pan you recovered from actual covid you and youngins who had and recovered are better than vaccinated atleast at this time :yes: it was a Cleveland Clinic study ... basically don't waste vaccine on those that recovered by themselves :angel:
Also those who had covid, recovered and THEN git vaccinated tend to has higher incidence of cold like symptoms :therethere:
Youse and yerz are doog to goes so goes out and play afores things change agin :angel:
Wait what? :huh: that cannot be :nonono:
:hysterical: Oh my gosh tanassi, floriduh, louisianaz, alabambeduh :wall: the only way you can git a reasonable idea is by going by historical death rate and while you can git some monthly data it's mostly disseminated as yearly data so it's not much help for current prognosticating :sigh:
Oh and yeah their data is just lies :roll: and it gits really sad when they try to unfudge their numbers to git guberment monies :woe: or vaccine priority like they did in the beginning :ashamed:
Yup what she sed ... iffen sumthin don't seem quite right pull in on the reigns :thumbs: She's adoog :bat: person :batman: :beerme:
Doog boj with the :b: boj and or no rush needed :thumbs: Keep in mind the coviditytm :siguie: in yer area is gonna pickup so some shaking ups is to be :egg: pected :therethere:
"And a famous conservative radio personality in Nashville who downplayed the virus & poo pooed the vaccines is in critical condition in the hospital with covid. Through his brother he has issued an apology & is begging peoples to get vaccinated. "
Darwin's lessons are sometimes the hardest to learn :yes: but the freakishly hard thang to git my :brain: around is that the US numbers are more than 90+% due solely to the unvaccinated :faint: and more than 99% of the hopsickilized and death count are again those unvaccinated :sofa:
At any rate there is a certain mathematical symmetry to the whole thang :yes: half of the US is vaccinated which reduces the number of susceptible individuls by almost :egg: actly half. If you think of the susceptibility as area and those vaccinated as islands in the area in order for the virus to reach the same number as last year it needs to be almost :egg: actly 200% more infectious which it is :balance:
In other wurdz with the current state of the US the numbers we saw afores should be almost :egg: actly the same when this thing gits going agin and that's with what is essentially half the population :yes:
Oh Pan yeah I likes Moderna too :thumbs: as for how long the protection lasts that's literally being constantly tested now :yes: and so far it's still doog :yes: I noes there is some drop off in the :egg: tremely immune compromised and atleast some in the 90+ group BUT not much :nono: and these are all solely T-cell numbers there are actually quite a bit more going on that's not being measured :yes:
In lots of other countries the vaccines chosen often have not been as effective and that's a reason for the even larger surge than normal. People got vaccinated with ineffective vaccines then ran around masklos and yeah bad got worser :sigh:
Anywho, it's gonna be atleast another year afores the whurled gits vaccinated sufficiently and there's a doog chance a new vaccine will be required by the time this covid madness is ready to end :gaah:

Thanks for sharing your gut with me, Pan. :righton:
And sig, your mathematical symmetry :balance: means that this next :wave: shall be twice as bad, right?
I mean if half the peoples generate the same number of cases/hopsicklizations/deaths. :scratch:
Essentially twice as bad. :sigh:
Boy oh boy oh boy.
We gotted Moderna, amembers? Me, B, Mom & ZA. Jacki is the lone Pfizerer & I'm not liking the Israel Pfizer data...especially with those vaccinated in January like her.
Oh & B says one of his top questions in an interview will be about how they is handling work with the pandemic. :yes:
He does not want to work with a denying company such as the last place he worked. :nonono:
I says that's a good benchmark as to how enlightened a company might be. :yes:
For example, the door factry down the road (his first job when we moved here...but they laid him off :sigh: ) has been sold to a German company & they required & enforced masks, much to the chagrin of their employees. :chuckle: They also did no tolerate ANY political discussions or debate.
The lam making place that downsized him in 2020 did not wear masks ever at all. :nonono:
They were 90% diehard Trumpers & quite vocal about all of it, including the hoaxiness of the virus. (That we got from someone who still works there)
But, of courses, there are many many more places out there. :sparkle:
I have him writing a Miracle Plan right now. :chuckle:
Where you list the qualities/details/specs of whatever it is you are seeking without attachment to the hows or wheres.
It's kinda like placing an order with the Universe. :vsparkle: :magic: :vsparkle:

:woe: can you even math :gaah:
:hello: "same number of cases" makes it same "bad" ... depending how you arbitrarily define "bad" :dunno:
The only thang certain at this moment ...is the Delta variant is more transmissible because it produces more virus {higher load}. Since it only {99+%} effects unvaccinated individuals ... twice the number of unvaccinated and unrecovered will likely become infected making the numbers overall roughly the same as before :balance:
There are still tons of other variables like what effect the vaccinated and recovered {now immune} population will has on transmission. When that number is large enough you git the highly sought and coveted Holy Grail known as "Herd Immunity". Definitely not there now with the delta BUT there may be some effect :yes: Also roughly half of the unvaccinated are antivaxxerz who do not wear masks so will the spread be even faster than 2x due to lack of masks and social distancing?
:idunno:
But thangs could certainly git inerestin ... soon ...
As for the Pfizer vaccine ... "yes" but the 39% effectiveness is just T-cell response which isn't a doog overall diagnostic of effectiveness. Based solely on that my J&J vaccine is only 67% effective.
Even antibody and T-cell data combined forms a very limited overview of "immune response" and you can see that here ... Israel says Pfizer Covid vaccine is just 39% effective as delta spreads, but still prevents severe illness (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/delta-variant-pfizer-covid-vaccine-39percent-effective-in-israel-prevents-severe-illness.html)
Ya see you are worried that J ack i might get covid which of course is a valid concern and should be avoided if at all possible but other than dealing with a "regular" cold she is not at much risk :nono:
IF you wanted she could go out and get a Moderna shot BUT that's also a gamble considering the side effects of the Pfizer AND it's a risk with only moderate benefits and that is only for the Delta variant :dunno:
Overall the odds of her avoiding severe covid is still very high :yes: so it's a tough call :console:
I personally am considering a second vaccine :yes: but I'm me so :dunno: I have no real worry about catching the thang AND even has my oxygen concentrator out :yes: ... for research porpoises :yes: and not just playing :nonono:
Iffen I were :b: I'd prolly just look at the company and make a judgement call. Considering the timing he'll prolly go in wearing a mask and if the interviewer isn't he prolly has his answer :whistle:
Yeah the Germanese really hated Trump :hysterical: for doog reason :yes: he totally dissed Merkel BUT they also noes people need to wear masks so yup very practical :thumbs:
Oh yeah yer "miracle plan" sounds like my :magic: :wish: ing paper ... it's the ffuts I made for a metaphysical book store. I also made Dargon's Blood ink that would werk in cheap fountain pens 8)
In metaphysical theory dragon's blood {a red resin} adds power :flex: to whatever and the idea was ya write ffuts on the paper then light a corner of the paper and blow it out.

I still say my math holds water. :yes:
Wee example...
100 peoples (unvaccinated as in the beginning of the pandemic) generate 20 positive cases.
That's 20% positive.
100 peoples (50 of them vaccinated) & the unvaccinated 50 generate 20 positive cases
That's 40% positive.
Twice as 'bad'.
:nana:
Or not.
:bsl:
Boy oh boy going in wearing a mask into an interview may be :uhoh: around here when literally 90-95% of peoples are masklos. :sigh:
I will suggest it & see what he says.
We wore them at Walmarts the other day & saw 2 other older ladies with them on. That was it. Maybe 98% masklos.
And 30% vaccinated.
We are literally back to the beginning. :crazyeyes: Deja vu...deja vu. :faint:
OH! Except for the fact that we are 3 of the vaccinated! :happydance:

In both cases 20 people git it so :egg: actly as BAD durty :hippy: mathlos ghurl you cannot just omit half the people like a tanassian official :buttkick:
The skeery part is that IF the Delta were the original covid the numbers would be 4 timez as bad :horror: AND I'm not even sure how to add in the effects from the delta effecting younger peoplez :sofa:
The reason the above scenario may be important is that according to you yer area has relatively few vaccinated, presumably the elderly and less stoopid emergency folk AND little or no mask and social distancing as in original conditions ... :share:
Personally I sez git the heck out of Dodge :yes: or ya noes hunker down and STFAFP :angel: I restocked ... and I overstocked dad ... AND we is both vaccinated 8)

Honestly after being vaccinated covid really isn't a thang :nono: but this will either end thangs quicker or show who is spreading it so it can be tracked and those people quarantined :yes:
In other newses today's power outage :fist: turned off my dehumidifier AND Dad's showed up so it's running downstairs now :happydance:

And our satellite. :chuckle: Yes, we leaves music on for the :cat: & :dog: when we leave. :rofl:
Thankfully, our power has stayed on tho recently we are in this SUDDEN :rain: pattern lately.
We were on our way to Jackson to get B a dress shirt when the sky fell down yesterday afternoon. :eek:
It was intense. :yes:
Quite tropical. :blowme: Steamy, rainy & sunny. All at once. :rofl:
As for covid... yeah. :crazyeyes: I am restocking now. :wiggle:
And B will be a careful as can be. :matt: He has a Zoom interview on Friday. :chuckle:
We drove by the Cheese Factry (Bongard Creamery :laugh: ) yesterdy & they have a bunch of GIANT solar panels. :clap:
That is a doog sign as not many biznesses has solar panels round here. :righton:
They also has a gated parking lot with a guard. :clap: That is also a rarity round here. Anyone can walk into a factry on most any day. :eek:
We were talking bassetbawl wid the widdle girl at the checkout at TJ Maxx. She'd never been to a game & we talked it up & she says, "Ok...I've got to go now. I'll put that on my list for this season."
B says, quite casually, "You're gonna hafta get vaccinated before you do becuz the NBA requires vaccination for entry."
And she swallowed & replies, "Yeah...I know. I can do that."

Wait what "window ACs" that's plural?
:woe: Iffen yer central air is :carp: one or two AC units is a better choice BUT unless yer house is very LARGE {it aint} instead of multiple window units you shoulda gone with a Heat Pump :yes:
Heat pumps are AC in the summer and heating in the winter AND they are generally more efficient :yes: plus about the price of a couple of AC units :whistle:
By the way iffen youses has plenty of water why not put a lawn sprinkler on top of the roof? That will cool thangs way down on HOT daze :yes:
Solar panels are purty cheap compared to the price of :electrocute: so they are always a doog investment :thumbs: BUT that also means that company is doing well :thumbs: :thumbs: has :b: git a boj there :yes:
Poor little ghurl the cost of getting vaccinated is endless hours of pointlos dribblings :drama:
The weather is gonna be 85°F today :gaah:
Oh and in other newses vaccinated peoplez are gonna be told to wear masks again in areas of high covid activity which I believe is 70% of the US now :whistle:
Dad's dehumidifier werks way better than mine :ashamed: I let it run for 2 hours and it gotted a fair amount of water ... I'll weigh it when I git back :yes: BUT I'll drop it off and hopefully set it up at his place tonight :oz: Hopefully the interweb connecting isn't too terrible, that's the only part I hasn't tried :uhoh:

I thunk of you with the Ziggy thang. :righton: That's what :b: calls you anyway. :chuckle:
As for window acs... we has 1 in the living room that (mostly) cools half the house. It was a $400 investment that returned the $$ in the first year. And then in our BR & Jacki's we has tiny $100 units. With that, the central air still kicks on, but not so much.
Remember me saying the central air usta never cool the house much below 80 & it ran non-stop? :sigh:
Our electric bill was $400 in the summer. :no:
Now...it's $180 which is still too high...but...we are cool. 8) Not :siguie: cool, but 72 cool. :yes:
And it's Africa hot here now. :heat:
Oh & our house is 2000 sq feet. Not that tiny. :nonono:
Oh! Chloe's here! :happydance: And may have a house to rent & a lead on a job. :cheer:
And :b: has another interview Friday with a factry that isn't even open yet. :clap:
They make gears. :huh: Hydro-gear.
So he has to cancel the Zoom interview. :rofl: Frito Lay driver dude. :nonono:
I likes the cheese factry. :yes: They need to contact him before Friday. :sparkle:

Heat pump systems take more thought and unerstanding to optimize BUT they are both AC in the summer and Heat in the winter and can be easily tweaked by shading or :egg: posing. This is one of them thangs that require a fair bit of unerstanzing to really git all the benefits BUT the benefits are BIG :yes:
By the way if yer water is cheap and plentiful why not put a lawn sprinkler on yer roof during those hot days ... it would saves big buckaroonies :yes:
2000 square feetz :roll: that's like 2 apartments size :whistle:
Wait a sec iffen it's only 2000sqft how come it costs so much to heat and cool? :scratch: are there big holes in the roof or didja just fergets the insulation?
Oooooh a :frito: Bandito :may5: that wold be AWESOME :happydance:
Oh but hydro-gear has more potential :yes: I thinxz they are viying for some ecar drive train contracts. Basically eberythang is going :electrocute: :yes:

It costs so much to heat & cool becuz the furnace/ac unit that came in the house is waaaay too small (repair dudes told us that) & we has horribly inefficient overhead ductwork. It's stoopy, too, cuz the only way to access it is tearing out ceilings or removing the roof. :wall:
And yeah :blah: :blah: :whatever:
We moved very very quickly. Ordered the house from a blueprint & had no idea of all the things to check.
The salesman axshully talked us into the overhead ducts as we even paid extra for that. :wall:
But now what's done is done. :wiggle: And with all the other money-taking projects that came with moving into a field...that wasn't a priority. :nonono:
We needs to replace all the plumbing in the house first. :sigh: We gotted a quote of $4200. Becuz all the fittings are corrosive & one by one they've been failing causing lotsa water to rush out under the house :eek: and lotsa monies for emergency plumbers. :yes:
That's a higher priority. :yes:
And we axshully think the price pretty doog cuz that includes ALL the plumbing, even inside the house. :yes:
:horn: ENERGIES!!! Yesterday I was wired...:fullmoon: like wired. And Jacki was, too.
The past couple days have been super high :wtf: Much more of a manic :spring: like vibe even tho weather/calendar-wise we are in the :dog: daze of summer. :heat:

"It costs so much to heat & cool becuz the furnace/ac unit that came in the house is waaaay too small (repair dudes told us that) & we has horribly inefficient overhead ductwork. It's stoopy, too, cuz the only way to access it is tearing out ceilings or removing the roof. :wall: "

K iffen ya noes yer gonna has to eventually take care of that whole plumbing nightmare, you should first consider DIY adding on a "new" bathroom that wont have the current problem AND a flow valve switch that can cutoff water eberywhere else 'cept the new bathroom :yes:
That way the next time the pipe brakes you can just pull the switch and cutoff water eberywhere else BUT still has a bathroom AND water for cooking and what not so you can avoid "emegency" calls PLUS hasing an :egg: tra bathroom is always handy :yes:

exactly what you said but likely in wurdz you could not unnerstanz. :p
Anyway...yes, all doog ideas. B liked the sprinkler idear. :yes: AS for adding a bathroom...literally? :nonono: We already has 3. That's enough. And to DIY the plumbing on any means crawling around under the house which is hard for :b: cuz he barely fits & then his arms get in the way. :chuckle:
We can shut off water to the house & still has water from the well. :yes: Much simpler. :wiggle:
8.2 off Alaska! :quake: I haven't seen it yet but :b: just got a news alert.
That might esplain my wakeyness last night as well as the ddo 'pain'/pressure right on the top of my head.

:pey: I gets it about the virus & the vaccines as well as other mitigations.
I just don't get why the smarty news type peoples don't get it. :crazyeyes:
It really is a compicated concept for the average people who does whatever their doctor says & never asks questions or knows why.
And that's where I feel the media has failed them. :sigh:
Even the president said recently, 'get the vaccine. You won't get sick & you won't die.'. :sigh: That is just not true. :sigh:
Anyway...it is what it is. :wiggle:
And :michafire: :yes: :righton: I still feels it. :zanna: :earthhug:
Oh & speaking of feeling it...
My finger tip that was luv bit by Nellie is still numb-like. By numb-like I mean that it feels kind of dead, but there is still pain iffin I was to say, cut it again or something stoopy-like. :nonono:
Anyway... :bl: says it will be this way for life.
What says you?
Ir :b: is correct, it ain't no real thang. :nonono: It doesn't affect my normally nimble fingerness. :rofl:

Most people don't git it :nono: just because the concept is simple don't mean people unerstanz :dunno:
Also the media "informs" and information is not the same as unerstanzing and even those who have learned how thangs werk don't necessarily unerstanz much less amemberz what they was taught :nono:
Besides most people wouldn't really use the "unerstanzing" iffen they had it :nono:
It's kinda like the doof pyramid ... it aint right :nono: the peoplez who designed it nude it was wrong ... they just wanted to git some basic concepts across in the easiest possible way to benefit the most peoplez fast.

People use numbness to describe the idea of nerve damage but that's really not correct :nono: Depending on the damage it can be anything from burning to pins and needles and much much more. See if you can feel, heat, cold sand paper textures, :electrocute: pressure and or vibration.
I don't noes :egg: actly how you got lub :kiss: ed by Nellie but odds are ya missed the peripheral nerve 'cuz it kinda runs in through the knuckle and unless ya cut through some bone yer prolly doog. That said there are 3 main skin layers and each layer has speeshul receptor cells which together does all them thangs I mentioned THEN relay information to the peripheral nerve in that finger.
Does you has nerve damage ... :idunno: ... most likely you messed up some receptor systems ... which are Not nerves ... and they may or may not come back BUT it sounds like ya didn't mess all of them up so :dunno:
Iffen yer worried I recommend using 803nm light 2 or 3 times a week :yes: That's the infrared light that fixes nerve damage in rat spines. Elsewise just 660nm red light or 850nm IR ... 'cuz those purty much fix eberythang else :yes:

I axshully kinda like the feeling cuz it makes me hyper aware when I am working with the knife. :yes: :chuckle:
And that's why I said numb-like. Or numb-ish. It's definitively not numb. :eek: It's actually kinda hyper-sensitive, but it doesn't hurt without stimulation. If Irun the fingernail of the opposite hand over it, it is significantly more thentitive than the rest of the fingers.
It's the side of the pad nearest the thumb (pointer finger) & right up to the nail bed. :yes: I axshully did cut into the nail bed but it's already growed out. The area where one might feel a hangnail.
And yes, it's nerve related cuz it stops exactly at the center line of the fingernail.
I an live with it. Easily. :matt: I just wondered if you agreed with B that it's a forever thang. :rofl:
And I liked your esplanation of unnerstannization as opposed to informancy. :righton:

Gosh ya think :roll:
It sounds like Nellie gave you a partial disconnect and some speshulty cells are fine others not so much. Typically it takes 6-12 weeks to make the initial reconnect and up to many months to finish up ... kinda like road werkerz when ya thinxz about it :whistle:

Well....I had never axshully taken the opposing finger & run a fingernail over it to see exactly where it went back to 'normal'. :asilly:
And now that I'm focusing on it I realize that it IS already significantly better cuz even pecking on said keyboard was noticeable before.
Now it's not. :nonono:
April 28. That's when I ordered it & she showed me how much she loved me within the first couple weeks. :wubsigh:
And you are um, 'right', the American Way IS more enlightened. It's just that many Americans are not. :woe: :bsl:
This Delta thang is looking much much worserer. :eek:
We been stocking up...going while the going's still good.
Even Biden said that there is a 'high probability' of further restrictions. :yes:
The data is not as easy to find as it once was. Seems like Tanasi is reporting only weekly. :scratch:

Yeah peoplez tend to overreact when they thinxz nerve bamage is a thang :uhoh: ... it is but unless you was previously very much in touch with the sensitivity of the area in question you really cannot judge it well unless there is no feelage :nono:
Odds are doog it's nuthin and you'll be "fine" or ya noes the same as you was afores :yes: You really should run through the sensory test though ... ya noes rough/smooth, hot/cold, pin prick, vibration, pressure, :electrocute: etc. and does it for the non :thumbs: finger next to it for a baseline {no not the other hand :thwack: }
The thang is IF you has all the available senses ... even if diminished ... yer likely just :egg: periencing effects from the healing process like inflammatory cytokines and left ober immune cells as well as the cleanup crew taking care of the damaged cells and cell spillage. Basically unless there's scar tissue formed in between the receptor cells and the peripHeral nerve yer just crying like a baby and needz to grow up and stop whining about yer furst lub :kiss: :buttkick:
:flyball:
Yeah the Delta data is looking worser and worser :uhoh: I'm gonna try and talk dad into a booster shot ... he prolly wont be too keen on it BUT it looks like the delta is going to be hard to avoid and the more antibodies he has when/if he gits :egg: posed the faster he'll :buttkick: the virus and the fewer symptoms possible :yes: I'd git one too BUT the J&J vaccines really was a doog choice for me and worst case scenario is not that bad and I'd be just a wee bit embarrassed to git a booster if that was sumthin someone else needed just to be vaccinated :ashamed:
For J ack i ... yeah that's a really hard call :console: dad's side effect to the second shot was just tiredness for a day but J ack i had pretty severe nigh flu like symptoms. IF her immune system had completely forgotten about that first set of shots THEN no problem ... it would still not be pleasant but would likely be something between the reactions shea had between the first and second shot. However, she might still have doog anti body memory of the covid vaccine in which case the side effects might be like what she had afores OR worser :horror:

It's really ahight. :wiggle: It IS thenthitive when I poke or scratch or pressurize (no :electrocute: necessary :p ). It feels much like a healing burn. Not numb. But kinda deadedened & definitely nerve pain when prodded just right.
Floriduh had over 21,000 new cases in 1 day! :faint: The most ever so far. :faint:
So 2 weeks til overflowy hopsickles (some are already at capacity) & 4 weeks til rising deaths. :candle:
What an absolute mess. :sigh:
It's gonna be another couple years afore we get past this, innit?

The really sad part is that nigh everyone who gits sick and or dies from roughly the beginning of July onwards didn't have to :nonono: AND it's going to git worse for atleast 4 more weeks with the rate doubling every 10 days or so that's three more doublings to come :sofa:
Oh and that's also why I said that thang about half imune but infection rate at 225% puts eberythang around where we was in January that 150k to 200k range :faint: That's of course only the peak if a LOT more people git vaccinated and or social distancing and mask upping happen :dunno:
Oh and one doog bit of news is Pan's area is doing :egg: ceptionally well :thumbs: So is New York :beerme: They took a HUGE hit in the beginning and no doubt that made everyone more willing to git the vaccineand do what is necessary :thumbs:
KalipHoorniya and tanassi are more or less even with the US :bump: rate which atleast isn't Louisiana or Floriduh mgnitudes :sofa:

Yes and no :yes: :nono:
I agree with Fauci :yes: between the vaccinated and covid recovered our numbers are too high to warrant another lockdown ... atleast until sum new :blob: or variant comes along that doesn't respect the current vaccines :dunno:
Now kids with no vaccine and the school year coming up ... that's where I see this thang going real bad quick :sofa:
For covid regular flavour the US adult population ... for the most part {yeah not you guyz} ... are in the Herd Immunity Zone :yesss: BUT not for the Delta :darn:
That said the increased transmissibility of the delta means there's going to be a quick surge ... infecting anyone who hasn't been vaccinated or immune through recovery AND that will happen in the next few weeks. The real question though is what will happen to the kid population? :hmm2:
On one hand kids mostly don't git severe covid BUT they can transmit it AND the delta is more effective against children :horror: So will vaccines be implemented in time afores schools start up? WIll schools mandate vaccines for covid like they does for measels? Will covid just be allowed to spread like chickenpox through all kidz and people just accept some losses :whistle:
Oh and I'm also :egg: pecting Boosters will be a thang soon :yes:

Yeah...boosters are comiing. Becuz they are trickling out the message.
That's what they do. :yes: So as not to freak out peoples with a SUDDEN message about the need for booster,
every newschannel is 'speculating' as to whether they will be necessary in the near future.
Plus, they just released that 200,000,000 more Pfizer doses had been purchased. :duh:
Ya know...Garth Brooks just packed 70,000 masklos into Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Lollapalooza just had 100,000 per night at a festival in Chicago. For 4 nights! Masklos.
Superspreaders galore! :sigh:
What a :horror: story. :popcorn: :vibes:

Ooooh actually Chicago is gonna be real inerestin :yes:
They have relatively high vaccination rates AND had a hard covid hit afores which means they are in a nigh herd immunity situation :hmm2: There will no doubt be some spreading BUT how it spreads is going to be a big indicator of how thangs really are :yes:
As for Nashville :idunno: prolly nuthin doog :nono: this is where IF they had taken doog data you'd be able to see how doog or bad the states condition is but as is there's no way to really tell though it's almost certainly a :buttkick: in the wrong direction :sigh:
As for Boosters yeah and Pfizer will almost certainly be the main one though I kinda sorta recommend J&J instead :yes:
Pfizer's vaccine is the most efficacious but the benefits start wearing off at between 6 and 8 months ... not horribly :nono: but the other vaccines hold out better at that time interval. The J&J vaccine appears to last 8 months easily with a few possible quasi benefits however, it's the least effective of the big vaccines against the delta. That said it has the most "breakthrough" cases but it looks like it has the fewest severe cases too.
In other wurdz you are more likely to become symptomatic with J&J BUT less likely to die. Hopsickilizationing though is kind of hard to figure out since so many are hopsickilized not for covid but are discovered being covid positive so :dunno:
Anywho Pfizer boosters are an :egg: cellent choice for those who had Moderna or J&J ... kinda like benefits from different vaccines with an overall :bump: :thumbs:

And :pey: I does know that Nashville proper has one of the highest vax rates in the state but peoples came from all over to go to that concert.
IF I was a performer I dunno if I could do a gig now unless I insisted on vaccinations (like the NBA does).
Elsewise I'd feel like I was responsible for illnesses & deaths associated with that show. :sigh:
I'm not judging what they does...just saying how I'd feel.

Yeah about time ya showed up :tapfoot:
Heya :wave: :hug:
Oh and there's unusally large numberz of sun spottaging :sunhug: so much so the astro peoplez thin the solar Max might be a year early this cycle :no:
Also I thinxz the climate change warming cycle is ober :gstars: fer realz :yes: It migh be another year or two BUT according to the siguie modelz there should be an evening out and then :shiver: drop in temp :yes: which is also why I'm looking atwater pipe warming options :angel:
Yeah yeah country music concerts are EBIL I'm sure eberyone noes that :console: BUT the cool thang is the Delta dread has inspired people to git vaccinated AND those who don't are gonna quickly be hopsickilized or add to the immune recovered :yesss: Either way unless there's a new variant or virus on it's way the overall numbers are really doog :yes: Ya noes 'cept for a few standout places and stoopid states :whistle:
There are a bunch of states grayed out 'cuz they are not reporting their data ... :therethere: ... but literally eberywhere else has a very low upward slope BUT the growth rate is far slower than one would :egg: pect for no mask social distancelos 2.5 times more infectious Delta :thumbs:
The vaccine and scare mongering/real delta data has done it's thang for the US :yes: Sure it's going to keep getting worse for the next 2 weeks minimum BUT there's an end in site AND if you are vaccinated you are pretty darn safe :angel:
Now we just need to vaccinate the rest of the :earth: to prevent new variants from screwing thangs up :whistle:
In other newses Dad's humidifier is doesing very well :yes: with the app I can see when it is on and what the current humidity is etc. So I asked him why it was taking so long to dehumidify his room ... it's a thang designed to dehumidify a LARGE house and his room is big but not house big :dunno:
Anywho, he moved the thang outside so he could harvest water :woe: Like me he figures during the day with solar the water is FREE :bliss: and the thang is light enough that he can move it back to his room when it gits dark and he only needs to run it for 30 minutes to an hour to git the humidity to a comfortable level. So he figured with the drought he should harvest water for his plants during the day since the dehumidifier would otherwise not be used much :nono:

Well...I just founded out that the Garth Brooks concert was cancelled due to :rain:
and he is not yet rescheduling in accordance with Delta et al. :clap:
AND...in Chicago the 100,000 per day of masklos screaming peoples had to show proof of vaccination or negative covid test.
Again... :clap:
So maybe we is not as stoopid as I thunk we is. :faint: :)
I gots a kemystery question again...
why is my silver silverware cloudy? As if it has a film on it.
I'm guessing it's beccuz of putting it in the dishwasher & citric acid detergent in there. :anon:
So I've stopped doing that. :yes:
I also did the salt, baking soda & hot water again with no success.
Any suggestions?

"So maybe we is not as stoopid as I thunk we is. :faint: :) "
:woe: Apparenly 1 you was wrong ... why you use citric acid on reactive metal :woe:
It's not a "film" it's called pitting or the surface is now pitted .
You could in theory silver plate then bright dip the result BUT a better option is git some red rouge polishing compound {aka jeweler's rouge} and either a felt buffing wheel on a rotary tool or some old soft material like flannel and then slooowly clean up the pitting.
Also did this happen after one cycle or did you run the silverware thru multiple times? Typically once would dull the finish but not be too bad, to make it look filmy would prolly require many passes. However, yes you "can" put silverware in a dish washer BUT with the possible :egg: ception of the final rinse, you cannot use anything acidic especailly NOT HOT & Acidic :horror:
Though an interesting aside, you can"mask" silver and put it in a bit of weak acid to etch neat patterns onto the thang :yes: This is often done with :bee: s wax :yes:

:hello: The not stoopid 'we' is the collective 'we' in reference to the big concerts. :buttkick:
I did not noes anything about citric acid until googling help. :wedgie:
The internet said it was fine to put it in the dishwasher.
Nothing anywhere said to be careful what kind of detergent one used & after I read that citric acid could cause cloudiness I just figured the 'lemon scent' Kroger detergent has citric acid.
I axshully have not even read the box.
It's just dull...cloudy. Film my not have been the precise word. And there are a couple shiny streaks here & there that
make me think that it could re-shine. :sparkle:
It's not a big deal. Not that bad & mostly on the spoons. :huh:

Not just "spots" it's possible to git deep hole type pits :yes: It's the same reason you cannot use brass bits on steel water pipes the water acts as an electrolyte and :boom: :electrocute: in action :therethere:
In general it's always ill advised to put dissimilar metals together in water, worser iffen it's HOT water and even worserer iffen it's HOT Acidic and or highly Alkaline :no:
Oh yeah that's right never salt water iffen yer boiling it in cast iron :nonono: I'm talking making pasta kind of salting :sofa: AND if you want to see if your stainless steel pot is doog quality you can boil saturated salt water to produce flaky salt crystals :yes: Just don't :egg: pect yer pot to survive :nono:
Srsly really doog high quality stainless steel pots will git filmed in that tanassi durt film silverware style ... really cheap :carp: stainless steel will disintegrate on the stove :muaha:

...
Gosh really :scratch: the acid bit wasn't a clue :dunno:
:chuckle:
OK srsly "real" silverware should always be hand washed with liquid soap AND immediately towel dried 'cuz water spots are actually salt formation and will leave a little funky ring even when rubbed off some of which will be from enhanced air oxidation too. If you want to properly store silverware and yes I noes ya don't :whatever: you wanna use and oil :yes: for doof contacting silver you can use a food grade mineral oil otherwise WD40 werks doog :thumbs:
Since I'm me and use carbon steel knife like implements as wells straight razors I recommend ...
KUROBARA 100% Pure Tsubaki Japanese Knife Maintenance Camellia Oil <= Amazon Link
... it's NOT what it says it is :nono: it's actually much better :yes: just badly translated and run through marketing.
Here's the thang this oil is THE highest end oil for doof grade materials AND keeping metalz safe from oxidizing and it does a really doog boj :thumbs: However, it is NOT just cold pressed camellia oil :nono:
When you has stoopid sharp edges on carbon steel oxidation will kill the edge so to keep air and moisture away you use an oil. The problem is oils, even mineral oils gum up or thicken over time AND can impart bad flavours. The thickening actually messes up the sharpest edges {one more reason for stropping} but this ffuts doesn't atleast not for decades :thumbs:
No you do not need to put oil on yer silverware BUT if ya does it will shine agin :yes: and you will need like one drop for eberythang and you can use vegetable oil :yes:
Oh and I quite likes camellia oil I has a wooden comb that I infused with the oil and I use it on my hair :thumbs: Not doog for people with thin hair or more likely only doog for people with asian hair :yes:

Silverware. I haz speshul silverwares that belonged to my grandmother. It is in its own wood case. When I uses it, it's definitely hand washed and dried immediately. Given the humidity, tarnish will appear once in a while. I uses a silver paste, and buff with a soft sponge. It does the trick. :thumbs: So, try a silver paste and buff it. That will likely bring the shine back. Eben when I had an assistant dishwasher, I never put the pots and pans innit. I still hand washed those. Now, I haz no assistant so it all gets handwashing.
Zucchini and beans 1st harvest! :liplick: Cucumbers and peppers are takin' their dang sweet time. Tomatoes are all over the place, but still green. I blame the rainy, cloudy weather for that. Lots of leaf, and slow ripening. :sigh:
Covid. Whelp...it looks a bit elevated according to the stats I check.
as of Tues. 8/3: USA had 107, 190 new cases. On this date in 2020, new cases were 47, 751.
FL was #1 with 17,001. CA was #3 with 10, 279. Good ole' Tanassi reported in at #7 with 2,677.

My brother had two cars stolen one right after another yesterday. :faint:
They stoled his rover right out of the RR yard, and then went to the house and stoled the BMW right out of the garage. Yeah...it's an inside job. It's gotta be. I think he knows, but he isn't giving up the name to the authorities. If I know him, he's going to find his own way to fix it. Not in a mean way. He knows the kid from childhood; his son's friend with an addiction. :(

If :b: hadn't been with me I would have said, sweetly, "We got the vaccine & we're still here."
But I nearly had to hold :b: back (not literally but he was simmering) becuz of the stupidity factor.

Pastes will werk but you've got to be careful :yes: they often use acids and or re-oxidants {aka reducing kemikillz} to remove oxidation. Others include anti tarnish agents which are fine as long as you buff out the other kemikillz. Red Rouge is just :egg: tremely fine abrasive in a soft wax AND it's easier to wash off in warm water than some of the pastes :oz: PLUS I has a bazillion different rouge/crayons for different levels of polish or sharp so I purty much always use them :angel:

Yeah there are always gonna be some people like that :yes: the news {cannot decide doog or bad} is that ~25% of people will simply refuse making them the vector reservoir. The main issue is that regular flavour covid needed roughly 75% combined vaccinated and rcovered immune to enact Herd Immunity ... the delta looks like high 80's to 90% for herd immunity.
In other wurdz covid will likely say :bye: in the US this winter BUT there will be festering pockets to watch out for :uhoh:

In the Land of Liberty, God & Guns it is sooooo frustrating to see how information is either withheld or skewed. :wall:
According to local sources Henry County Medical Center (medium small hopsickle) re-opened their covid ward abouts a week ago.
Masking is up to about 40% as of a few days ago when we was out. :thumbsup: Maybe it will go up even more.
I likes data. I will check out the CDC. :wiggle: But I don't have much faith in what I sees from Tanasi.
We all be masked. And we all be taking our D3 once again. :check:
Boy oh boy energies are high... :bliss: :splat: :mrcrankypants: <-----me, at times :chuckle:
8/8 Lion's Gate AND New :moon: :faint:
We are going out tomorrow. Mom wants to acknowledge our anniversary on 8/18 so we're doing it sooner than later for multiple reasons.
Anyway...we be going to an outdoor restaurant on a pier on the Tanasi River. Surrounded by lush :treehug: and :water:
They has basically nothing we can eat (all fried) :rofl: , but we is going for the 'atmosphere' plus there is a state park large slate art walk thingamabob trail they wants us to see. :yes:
Maybe I'll pack lunch. :hysterical:

Spoo. I heard that boosters will be half the dosage they was before. :yes:
That makes me feel better about Jacki. :yes: And if available, I kinda feel the Moderna might be the bestest booster for her. :dunno:
Seems that Moderna has lesser side effects that Pfizer in general. :dunno:

...
To be fair it's hard to git accurate data from a hopsickle when it's in a surge state :uhoh: But dang tanasi doesn't even lie doog :gaah: it's like each department makes up their own numbers :wall: look at Floriduh they is coordinated liars :yes:
On the plus side ... fer peoplez like me anyways :whistle: it's really nuf being able to see the differences between low vaccinated states and high vaccinated states as well as those with poor social distancing and masking vs those with doog ones. Basically it looks like between 75% and 80% vaccination with masking and the delta/covid is over or atleast burning out :thumbs:
Vaccination rates in the 60% zone and it looks like the delta/covid is smoldering but not getting worserer just not getting betterer neether.
In other wurdz around 60% is the minimum vaccination rate for a state to has a chance. I bet the CDC noes :egg: actly what that vaccinated rate needz to be and isn't tellin us :fist: ... which is prolly smate since people will hold off on their own shot iffen they think a state is close :sigh:
Anywho perfect masking and social distancing after the quarantine and none of this had to happen :fist:
Though one doog result are a number of those in the ICU are telling people they was wrong git the vaccine :thumbs:
As for half strength boosters ... um yeah that sounds doog BUT it depends on the minimum amount needed to prompt an immune response, and I don't noes if mixed vaccines will does that ... it might but I don't noes :dunno: That said the same vaccine at half dose definitely will :yes:
Also the Pfizer vaccine is the best against the Delta but fades with time. The J&J is the worst against getting the Delta but but appears very doog at preventing hopsikilization AND doesn't appear to fade ... atleast not over 8 months. Moderna on the other hand werks really really well after the 2nd shot ... not so doog after the first ... and no clue about boostering ... solly :therethere:
However, all thangs considered it may indeed still be a doog choice for J ack i :yes:
"8/8 Lion's Gate AND New :moon: :faint: " Oh yeah that's coming up agin I thinxz it's also during the Perseid shower :share:

Here's another fun thing to watch... :roll:
Floriduh announced that they are giving vouchers (through an anti-bullying program already in place) to
allow kids who feel harassed by covid regulations to change schools. :yes:
They will also allow students who wish to wear masks & feel harassed by ANTI-masking to switch schools.
So...they is creating a fustercluck. :crazyeyes:
And theoretically it could become masked vs masklos schools. :faint:
What a horrid :egg: speriment that could be.

Actually I likes that :thumbs: Yeah it's all around stoopid from conception to implementation BUT if people really want mask or no mask for their kids then there should be some schools 100% masked and others 100% no mask :zorro:
The main advantage is one school will have far fewer cases and related fambily members will be safer too. While at the other school ... well they git what they want and git to decide iffen it was really worth it :om:
Personally I think everyone at a school should be vaccinated in the same way that kids have to have the measles and rubella vaccine or they cannot be on school grounds :yes: I mean iffen you look at the numbers the rate of infection is close to delta and the death rate for children is likely similar too :dunno:
The only real difference is that measles was around for so long everyone learned to fear it and then wanted the vaccine when it became available. Covid has been around less than 2 years and for some how bad it is is only now sinking in through :egg: perience.

Quote from: pubmedPhototherapy with low-level laser influences the proliferation of endothelial cells and vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta secretion
Abstract
The healing process and the angiogenesis associated with it, is a very important but currently poorly understood area. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been reported to modulate the process of tissue repair by stimulation of cellular reaction such as migration, proliferation, apoptosis and cellular differentiation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of laser radiation in the range of visible and infrared light on the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in vitro and the secretion of angiogenic factors: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. Vascular human endothelial cells (Ecs) were exposed to radiation with laser beam of the wavelengths: 635 nm (1.875 mW/cm²) and 830 nm (3.75 mW/cm²). Depending on the radiation energy density, the experiment was conducted in four groups : I) the control group (no radiation, 0 J/cm²); II) 635 nm - the energy density was 2 J/cm²; III) 635 nm - 4 J/cm²; IV635 nm - 8 J/cm², II) 830 nm - the energy density was 2 J/cm²; III) 830 nm - 4 J/cm²; IV) 830 nm - 8 J/cm². The proliferation and concentration of VEGF-A and TGF-β were examined. LLLT with wavelength 635 nm increases endothelial cell proliferation. Significant increase in endothelial cell proliferation and corresponding decrease in VEGF concentration may suggest the role for VEGF in this process. The wavelength of 830 nm was associated with a decrease in TGF-β secretion.
And of course even before this there's ... Low-level laser therapy alleviates neuropathic pain and promotes function recovery in rats with chronic constriction injury: possible involvements in hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) ... which also points out the effects on VEGF, NGF and a few other factors hasin to does with nerve pain reductions and healing all treatmented with { Red light 660 nm, 9 J/cm2} :angel:

Quote from: pubmedEffect of Moxibustion on HIF-1 α and VEGF Levels in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
.
.
.
Conclusions: Moxibustion enhanced the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of conventional medicine and can enhance the effect of conventional medicine, downregulating HIF-1α/VEGF contents to inhibit angiogenesis.

:onoes: !!! I must have slipped through the portal. :norway:
Axshully, we (he, mostly but I assist) have torn down the rotted deck boards & are in partial reconstruction phase. :wtf:
It's a messy boj. And a hot one. :heat: But it was dangerous. And at the back (main) door. :uhoh:
We worked outside til 1 or so then went to Walmart for just a couple items & to Lowe's for lumber & Quickcrete.
Walmart was insane!!! :frantic: Hot, angry, manic, unmasked peoples. LOTS of them. :wtf:
I kept saying, "Hurry up...let's get out of here!" I saw 3 different mothers SCREAMING obscenities at their kids...got LOTS of dirty looks from masklos ones... Crazy. And ugly. I'd estimate 20% masks. :gaah:
Lowe's was fine. Nobody in the lumber aisles except a couple of masked employees. :clap:
Oh & we ran in Kroger for fake sausages & found an :elfparty: in the freezer. :faint:
The Beyond bratwursts (:chuckle:) were .49. That's 49 cents. Down from an original $7.99. :wtf:
They had just 5 packages so we gotted them all.
Then...Simple Truth meatlos grind (like Beyond or Impossible but Kroger brand) was marked down to 99 cents a package! :cheer:
They had 15 packages so we gotted them all. :hysterical:
Sadly, that means lesser veggie options will be sold at that store. :hayseed:
But I'm glad to have 'just happened' to be there for the clearance. :happydance:
So today I'm gonna attempt a meatlos meatloaf, topped with NOmato sauce. :woe:
The nomato marinara I've made before is quite doog. :check:
OH...and we gonna has cauliflower mashed :tater:
How fake can a faux meal be?
:bsl:
And yes....many doctors & nurses around here are anti-vaxxers. :sigh:
Doomed.
We are fully back in 'get everything in one trip & limit the outings as much as possible' mode. :sigh:
Don't know that I can rein in Mom & ZA any more tho. :sigh:
They're still feeling invincible tho they gotted vaccinated on Christmas Eve. :nonono:
And Chloe as a nurse.... :no:
:bsl:
She is a true blonde, let me just say that. :rofl:
Yesterday she spread foam insulation with her hands! :scared:
Yep. She was still a mess as of 7:30 last night.
:gheart:

What type of chocolate would you use if you were to make chocolate covered frozen :banana: :banana: :banana: ??
The first few 'recipes' I skimmed said to melt semi-sweet chocolate chips, but after having worked in a Candy Shop that just feels 'wrong'. :chuckle: We would have tempered Merckens dark that we bought in 10 lb slabs. But we never frozeded anything. :nonono:

Oh and I thunked you'd like this sirius :sunhug: :rimshot: for Lion's Gate 2021
Oh and FYI it looks closer to Sagittarius than Leo but I thunked of you I mean :woo: when I seeded it :yes:
Yeah tanassi is purty messed up :console: but enough people are in the hopsickles now saying they was wrong and or begging for the vaccine when it's too late that atleat the politicians are starting to advocate vaccination if not masking though I have no clue why masks are a political issue :roll:
Anywho I saw this on a website somewherez but ..."covid started out as a virus but mutated into an IQ test" ... sad yet strangely accurate ... in the end Darwin always wins :whistle:
Oh I've neber frozed :banana: s for chocolate dipping but when I was in my chocolatier pHase my chocolate of choice was 11 pound blocks of
Callebaut just the regular not the dark or "Milk Chocolate" ... it's one of the couverture brands which means a higher percentage of cocoa butter than baking or eating chocolate which makes tempering simpler and a better overall snap and mouth feel. Though I would never freeze or even refrigerate it :nonono:
Dipped froze :banana: prolly uses low cocoa butter :carp: chocolate mixed with coconut oil. Doog proper chocolate requires a lot of werk tempering to melt all improper crystals and then slow cooling in order to set without forming crystals to give a snap with that melt in your mouth luxurious feel. Your best option is to take a chocolate you like, add coconut oil, melt together and then dip the already :shiver: :banana: ... this is the "magic shell" approach. You will need between 1/4 and 1/3 coconut oil by weight to the chocolate.
Otherwise it doesn't matter matter you are just coating in chocolate and trying to refreeze before anything bad happens so just go by the taste you prefer :yes:
Also try to pour the chocolate over the :banana: in a wawy that drips Do NOT fall back into the melted chocolate. Even the tiniest bit of moisture will make your chocolate seize ... srsly even steam from the double boiler can does it Link :uhoh:
Anywho there's a speeshul time for Great chocolate :drool: but anytime is doog for :carp: chocolate :liplick: For :shiver: :banana: I'd use the :magic: shell trick :yes:
Ya noes here, even when the mask mandate was suspended most people wore masks and as the delta increased more and more did to now basically eberyone wears a mask and I'm purty sure there is no mandate currently :scratch: Though it may has changed ... :idunno: ... I just wear a mask :angel:

Masks are political becuz the conspiratorial types who rabidly support Trump et al refuse them becuz they take away their personal freedom. :huh: I saw mothers with signs saying, "You will NOT muzzle my child". :woe: That's the saddest part of all.
But as for this week's Darwin Award finalist....
check this out: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/drunk-man-dies-after-biting-venomous-baby-snake-in-apparent-revenge-attack/ar-AAN9wuX
:woe:
I am :woo: and I likes it! :happydance: The nova thang is super cool.
You noes, I periodically see light areas of the dark sky...what looks like city lights in the distance...but there is no city nor light pollution anywhere. :dunno:
Does you think I would freeze the :banana: first? Rather than try to freeze it all together? :scartch:
OMG, speaking of :scartch: .... yesterday I amembered when Cake was constantly telling us all to get lemon extract. The regular baking kind. And swab your nose & all around your mouth with it.
We kept asking "why?" & he kept saying "You'll know why when you see it. Just do it."
So I boughted a couple bottles. Think I long ago used them up or tossed them out. :dunno:
But I SUDDENLY realized that THIS was what he foresaw. :yes: :sparkle: :sandman: :sparkle:

"He who seeks revenge digs two graves."
Sometimez old proverbs are not just :carp: :whistle:
Oh the lights in the distance thang is purty common and noctilucent :cloud: s are an :egg: treme form :yes: The name means Night Glowing :uhoh: Anywho many glowing patches in the night sky are just patches of moisture catching light from somewherez, someimes cities other times the :moon: or :sun: just from far far away :yes:
Um Yes freezing the :banana: first makes the most sense but does I thinxz you'd does it that way ... :whistle:
Dipping the :banana: in chocolate and then freezing it purty much guaranteez a :carp: chocolate coat that's not gonna stick and be a chalky texture.
A better :egg: peience would be dipping a room temperature :banana: into chocolate and just eating it :yes: same is true with :strawberry: trying to form a proper chocolate coat on fruit is very tricky especially if you are hoping the chocolate will adhere once solidified.
That said my favourite :strawberry: trick is using a syringe to inject Grand Marnier under the stem and hasing people dip them into my melted Grand Marnier truffle concoction :drool: It's far better than trying to has chocolate harden on the thang :yes:
As for lemon :egg: tract :woe:
:sandman: may has foreseen covid but Lemon :egg: tract wont help :therethere:
Wearing a plague doctor mask would help but only in the same way that wearing any mask would help against covid the thang about Lemon Extract is that even if it did or could kill a virus it would need to come in contact with thang and aerosolized oils are still oils and would be unlikely to pass through the aqueous spHere of the droplets in the air. Colloidal Silver on the other hand "could" but even that wuld be unlikely :sigh:
The thang is ffuts like colloidal silver aerosolized leaves active colloids eberywhere including inside the lungs and body like little landmines :boom: Citrus oils on the other hand likely only has enough killin power if you soak the virus in the liquid ... and that's still a maybe :dunno:
BUT valiant :woo: attempt :clap: but nope :buttkick:

K since the Delta variant is freaking people out I gotted a few Mask questions plus there's some mask terms people don't seem to noes.
So FIRST n95 masks are nice 'n doog etc. they Do NOT necessarily offer more protection against covid than multi layers of cotton though, AND most importantly there are a Lot of fakes on Amazon ... no surprise there :roll:
Second N95 and KN95 are NOT the same :nono: N95 means a mask met the US standard for 95% or better filtering. KN95 means the mask uses Chinese standards and may or may not have been quality checked :whistle: Here's the thang a doog well fitting KN95 mask is prolly fine BUT yeah it's cheaper for a reason ... a lot of reasons :whistle:
Third if a mask does not fit properly or just not used properly the rating doesn't matter :nono: and you are better off with atleast 2 layers of comfortable cotton :yes:
Personally I like Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese masks, with Japanese being number 1 in quality and comfort :yes: However, they are made for people with small heads and tiny faces :gaah: SO yeah they don't werk for me :sigh:
Fourth: IF you has decided an N95 mask is what you want odds are doog that you want a mask made in the USA and that's doog :thumbs: BUT keep in mind a lot of US companies that make masks only sell to front liners but here's adoog article with 10 US mask companies Link (https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/looking-for-made-in-usa-n95-respirator-masks-here-are-10-american-made-options/)
A couple of things to keep in mind ALL N95 masks sold in the US must have a NIOSH TC approval number or numberS This is a number printed on the front of each mask, there's usually more than one and you want the one that begins TC. You should then take this number and enter it in the CDC's database here (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/niosh-cel/) This will tell you if the mask is/was NIOSH {National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health} approved AND which business manufacturer was granted the number. It's very VERY important to :check: that your mask corresponds to this manufacturer.
The current scams are to produce knockoff masks and they either Do NOT have TC approval numbers or the numbers belong to another manufacturer. The numbers change frequently enough to make it difficult for fakes AND larger companies patrol looking for fakes since they are bad for the companies image.
A lot of cheaper N95 made in America masks are just packaged in the US. For instance the $28 for 20 N95 masks {$1.40 each} from Costco are Chinese masks BUT are from one of the reputable companies so not terrible but yer choice :angel:
Lastly if you prefer over the ear vs around the head there are No N95 masks with ear loops :nono: It's not that there's anything wrong with ear loops they just don't meet the US standard which is really more for surgical procedures 'n such.
That said I like Lutema masks ... this is a personal opinion and I have masks from all over the world including China, Israel, Turkey etc. BUT Lutema is US based {I believe San Diego} and their M95i (https://amzn.to/3s9iJMs) <= Amazon Link is a doog mask. A little marketing goes into the naming ... the m95 is the mask series not the rating BUT they indicate the testing done and efficiency here (https://lutema.com/pages/m95-vs-kn95-masks) and I likes them :yes: FYI: the i stands for standard face size while the equivalent product with a c stands for "child" size ... yeah not sure what genious came up with that BUT the regular hooman size face masks fits me so I'm doog :yes:
Oh and I just ordered their ... 6-Ply Face Mask Protection - Made in USA - ASTM Level 3 & ISO Certified (https://amzn.to/2VJ9Q08) <= Amazon Link ... I'm curious about their valve system :yes: The regular one is fine but there's only so much air you can push or pull through a fine filter. I prefer the masks with a one way valve for easier breathing BUT hopsickles wont allow these and "pollution" masks look very similar and do not filter the exiting breath which is bad for others. I'll post how these are when they come in :wiggle:

I'm thinking the lemon oil would be a barrier, of sorts. To reduce likelihood of infection in the first place. :dunno:
But I really don't know nor am I thinking bout doing it.... I just happened to amember Cake's prophecizing. :nana:
It's J ack i that wants to make chocolate covered :banana: s
Her favorite summertime Cedar Point/festival/carnival type treat. :yes:
So I told her we'd 'try'. :chuckle:
Wouldn't coconut oil mixed in (French chocolate iffin it's :whip: ped :chuckle: ) make it melt more easily?
Our house is above 75. :p
First you dip in chocolate, then you roll in crushed peanuts for the total experience. :wubsigh:
And yeah...covid. I was just off reading about peoples taking Ivermectin to prevent covid. :woe:
These same peoples don't/won't take a vaccine, but they will take Ivermectin on a daily (?) basis? :woe:
I boughted a 2-pack of quick tests the other day. :yes: Supossedly, they are pretty accurate iffin one has symptoms.
Not accurate at all for asymptomatic. Anyway, at 2 for $20 I figgered they'd be handy to have around so that if any of us does get cold-like symptoms we can then quarantine so as not to :vibes: it all around. :chuckle:

"I'm thinking the lemon oil would be a barrier, of sorts. To reduce likelihood of infection in the first place. :dunno:
But I really don't know nor am I thinking bout doing it.... I just happened to amember Cake's prophecizing. :nana: "
I guess it could be a barrier of sorts in the same way potpourri or heavy perfume prevents viral infections :yes:
Yeah that's a not at all :buttkick:
IF ya want to kill covid in the air you need Ozone or UV light and you don't want to be breathing the O3 nor be :egg: posed to that light :nonono:
My CS myster is meant to coat ebery place that covid might land with CS that can killz the virus BUT it wont knock it out of the air like some tiny fighter jets or nuthin :nono:
I also think colloidal silver nasal sprayer is a doog idea for preventing covid :yes: but I can think of no mode of action that would allow lemon :egg: tract to kill covid :nono:
Now if you look at something like citrus oil fumigation to kill termites, that only works with direct contact and it's mostly the D-limonene that's doing the killing. IF you could guarantee covid contact with the "lemon extract" then perchance sumthin but I doubt it has any significant function against covid beyond any other oil :nono:
"Wouldn't coconut oil mixed in (French chocolate iffin it's :whip: ped :chuckle: ) make it melt more easily?
Our house is above 75. :p "
What :woe:
First I'm not sure what you mean by "French" ... is that a brand or chocolate from France? :dunno:
Regardless NOoooooo :no: Coconut oil is used because it's melting point is close enough to room temp that mixed with chocolate the mix can be a liquid that hardens almost immediately in contact with cold like ice cream ... it's the :magic: in magic shell toppings.
If yer temperature is typically an unholy 75+ then just roll out the chocolate like a cookie dough and wrap it around whatever ya wants :yes:
Yeah, it's trickier than it sounds but it's a nuf trick :thumbs:
Anywho just make a 1:1 ganache that's equal weights of chocolate {any chocolate other than white or milk chocolate} and heavy cream. This is basically what you want ... easy to werk with but will harden up when frozed :shiver: Also iffen ya neber made ganache afores it will look borked and horrible up until SUDDENLY it's not :oz:
FYI: a 1:2 ganache is thinner and what you migh pour over a cake or confection for a light chocolate coating. A 2:1 ganache is what you would use to make thangs like :siguie: brand grand marnier truffles :liplick: It's a thick creamy soft fudge like consistency that I then coat in tempered chocolate for a hard shell :yes:
Basically make a 1:1 ganache and see how that werks for ya you can then thicken or thin to get the :egg: act thang you want :yes: Do NOT try mixing high end chocolate with coconut oil until you noes what you are doing. Eating chocolate has already been tempered if you melt it you need to re-temper OR has some clue what you are doesing. Werking with chocolate isn't hard :nono: BUT making doog chocolate the best it can be requires a lot of practice :therethere: and it can git a tad :egg: pensive :whistle:
I didn't noes there were over the counter quick tests :scratch:
Ivermectin is inerestin ffuts :yes: I dunno if it really helps against covid BUT it does kill so many other parasites that it prolly wouldn't hurt ... though I noes my father had to take it and he gottedjust about EBERY side effect on the list. He wont be taking that agin :nonono:
The thing to remember is that ~25% of the population simply will refuse no matter what and that's fine and should be their choice BUT they should also accept that there are places that they will not be allowed simply because that choice brings added risk.
Oh and it looks like boosters are coming in about 2 days :yes:

Whoa....
Thanks, you. :righton:
I was feeling seriously :luna: (woozy...drunk) earlier today. Thunk maybe it the :heat: . But maybe not. :wtf:
So...
:b: went to the chiropractor for the last time today. :yes:
The guy was complaining about Henry County schools issuing a mask mandate today... said kids should not be muzzled. :sealed:
Ranted that they better not shut things down again & then admitted he wasn't vaccinated & said that Covid is "no more than the flu". :sigh:
:b: came in & immediately took a shower. :wtf: Even though he'd showered just before going. :rofl:
Added: :nickel: :sigster:
https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/binaxnow-covid-19-antigen-self-test-kit/ID=300414527-product
Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Amazon...
Fwiw, at the Candy Shop at which I worked what was sold as "French chocolate" was simply melted chocolate (I dunno which kind) whipped for long long time with coconut oil. 50/50. After it set up...in it's little fancy bite shapes...it was super fluffy when you bit into it.
And one of the most popular candies. Along with turtles, butter almond toffee & our chocolate covered cherries.
They did not make chocolate. :nonono: They made fillings & then filled the enrober with melted Merkens.
But they did make caramel. :drool: In giant copper kettles. And marshmallow fluff :wub: and peppermint patties (best when nekkid) & homemade candy canes & ribbon candy & many many more yummy ffutses.

QuoteI didn't noes there were over the counter quick tests
:yes: there are ..........
since around Easter we here in Germany was supposed to test twice a week
at work (and at school) "just to make sure you are not infected"
they were sold everywhere
the other non-PCR tests were done with official documentation
for places that insisted them -
like clothes shopping, restaurants, fitness studios etc.
Since I work at a place that also sells them,
we got them for free (as well as for testing at work)
got enough left - should the covid19-numbers spike real bad again

And even though you had the virus are you still required to do testing when/if it is a 'thing' again?
It's going from bad to worse around here. :sigh:
Not just with virus but with people who are irate about the possibility of kids wearing masks at school, or having their 'freedoms' removed'.
Heat indexes of 40-41 don't help. :chuckle: That's 105-110F

Oh very cool but it's an Antigen based test as opposed to Antibodies
Oh the instructions are prolly for original flavour covid so as long as the antigen is the same {or similar enough} the delta can prolly be detected even in asymptomatic cases :yes:
Also yeah :michafire: you and hubby can prolly be :egg: cused from atleast the next 6 months of vaccines and testing 'cuz recovered immunity trumps the vaccine in ebery measurable form and not just antibodies :thumbs:
So unless yer country wants to host a new and :egg: otic variant yer both doog to goes :thumbs:
I does wish we in the US had a QR code system :wubsigh: I lubs QR cards I even did that whole topic ... QR Code Cards (https://psifly.com/cr2/index.php?topic=25597) ... I thinxz we should has QR codes with relevant health info like vaccination date and type, covid no covid and when plus :egg: posure ratings 'n such. The thang is it shouldn't be just "covid" carp it should be ALL pertinetn health info :yes:
We should has QR codes on ID's indicating blood type, allergies, relevant health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure AND it could be used for covid too :yes: but srsly 3kb of data in each code is a lot :wub: AND you can tie it to a website and or database :happydance:
Is this :b: s last chiro thang 'cuz the guys an idiot? 'cuz that's not really an important reason if his chiropractical skillz are solid :nono: Srsly you live in the land of dumb and dumber ... sure it would be great iffen :b: could switch to a chiropracticator that shared similar beliefs or ya noes has a :brain: but if not just accept some peoplez ... like most in yer area ... are in need of a :buttkick: but are still somewhat competent in their boj :angel:
Oh yeah Merkens :chuckle: ok to be fair the taste is surprisingly not bad BUT it's not real chocolate :nono: I fergetz the details but they add vegetable oil to the ffuts so there's no need to temper or anyway to temper it BUT it hardens close enough to a properly tempered chocolate and the cocoa solids are doog enough quality that it is better than most candy bar chocolates :yes: It's literally manufactured for no skill required candy shops to use either dipping or with a waterfall enrober :yes:
Anywho, that'll werk not sure why it's called French chocolate :scratch: I recall it's an americanz company :yes:

You would go to a chiropractor who refuses to wear a mask, and nor does the majority of his patients? :huh:
There have been other red flags. This was just the final straw.
He was actually trying to talk B out of the vaccination when B said, "I am proud to say I was vaccinated in March"
No telling how many peoples he has influenced. :sigh: He's also a high school football coach.
:nonono: He does not get our monies. There are other chiropractors around. :yes:
I tells ya, this week has :witchfly: by :run: And thankfully, our heatwave is going :bye: as well. :clap:
Now back to lamron hot. :wiggle:
We mad our simple frozeded chocolate covered bananas yesterday. :yes: We frozed the :banana: first.
Then micro-melted Giardellis dark chocolate chunks. :chuckle:
It hardened as soon as the chocolate hit the frozeded :banana: .
And axshully hardened quite well.
Anyway...Jacki was happy & that's all that mattered. :clap:
So...more info is coming to light about the ineffectiveness of Pfizer in time. :sigh: I'd seen the Israel studies awhile back, but now it's becoming mainstream newses due to other studies as well. I've seen as low as 17% effectiveness, up to 54%. :sigh:
I figure the next authorized boosters will be for Pfizer shotted in Dec/Jan, maybe even Feb. I hope.

Um yeah that's why you freezed the :banana: first :yes: It's not proper tempered chocolate though :drama: it's in a polyamorphous quasi solid state that prolly tastes doog regardless :yes: However, you really should try making a ganache it's one of the easiest first steps to being a chocolatier and is useful iffen ya prefer the path to pâtissier hood :angel:
As for chiropractors yeah as long as you can find others equally as doog or better then no problem :nono: I generally try not to count a persons belief against them though it sounds more like perchance :b: doesn't like his personality more which I can unerstanz :yes: Iffen I don't like someonez then I'll goes outa my way to avoid them but iffen it's just their beliefs like :woo: or ideas about :vibes: I just thunk it's a nuf mostly harmless diversion :angel:
Anywho I aint neber :bean: to a chiropractor :nono: it's just my understanding that while there are many few are truly doog :yes: Kind of like medical doctors most are sufficiently competent but very few doog ones :yes:
Oh wow is Trump back already ... I musta missed that memo :roll:
"So...more info is coming to light about the ineffectiveness of Pfizer in time. :sigh: I'd seen the Israel studies awhile back, but now it's becoming mainstream newses due to other studies as well. I've seen as low as 17% effectiveness, up to 54%. :sigh:

OK hang on define ineffectiveness 'cuz mostly that's a number associated with either antibodies still swimming in the body after the last shot OR the speed and quantity immune response after an antigen is introduced. Neither of which is particularly doog as a standard of effectiveness :nono:
Srsly the standard was against original covid and not Delta :nono: and there's no defined correlation that I'm aware of especially since the delta variant produces a far heavier load :dunno:
You are trying to relate single test efficacy to real world effectiveness and you cannot do that with the data currently available :nono:
What you really want to know is what vaccine has the fewest breakthrough events AND OR how long does the Pfizer vaccines protection last for people like J ack i who may or may not has an optimal immune system :angel:
Stop it :buttkick:
Srsly you cannot git there with the available data and even if you had access to ALL the data the CDC has you still wouldn't be able to make a reliable assessment :therethere:
Boosters are now being served :gstars: git one when you can :yes: The thang to noes is that the Pfizer vaccine has the highest efficacy against both regular covid and the delta variant atleast at this time based on the 2 shot effectiveness results known so far.
That said Do NOT believe numbers posted in news media :thwack: they are sensationalized and Do NOT represent a scientific perspective even if the numbers come from a peer reviewed scientific study. Srsly :therethere: the numbers are cherry picked and the results are over simplified assumptions based on :egg: trapolations made by people with more imagination than understanddingz :console: ... fer realz :yes:
For instance when I wanted to answer the question: which vaccine has the most breakthrough cases? ... I thunked ok which state has the most breakthrough cases and what was the predominant vaccines issued at that time ... easy :peas: y :yes: alas no :sigh: thangs don't werk like that :gaah:
Take a look at Arkansas they have an unusually large number of breakthrough cases :yes: BUT they are also a Republican state with some of the lowest vaccination rates. Here take a look at this link ... COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Cases: Data from the States (https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/covid-19-vaccine-breakthrough-cases-data-from-the-states/) ... then scroll down and look at the grapH :oz:
Breakthrough cases are NOT vaccine dependent :nono: they depend more on the social environment ... imagine one vaccinated individual in a sea of infected people. Now keep in mind {or look at the grapH} of those who test positive only a very few are hospitalized. This suggests that those testing positive are simply being caught positive but are most likely not showing symptoms.
In fact, as I mentioned afores, about 30% of those hopsickilized AND testing positive for covid are asymptomatic meaning they are not in the hopsickle for covid :nono: they were just routinely screened and discovered. As for those showing symptoms it's not clear if the symptoms are from covid or something else. Those hopsickilized for covid even after 2 shots appear to be the ones with very significant comorbidities like being on dialysis or have a known compromised immune system.
In short ALL of the US available vaccines werk :egg: tremely well for keeping people out of the hopsickle. The thang the CDC wants to do now is make sure the most susceptible STAY out of the hopsickle :yes: That and slow the transmission :angel:
Srsly telling people that hasing the vaccine means they cannot git sick or spread the virus is coming back to bite them in the :butt:
Those breakthrough cases in Arkansas are almost certainly due to vaccinated individuals mingling masklos with the infected unvaccinated. Most of which will now test positive for covid but be asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms and be picked up after routine screenings or testings.
Oh by the way notice the states that are missing on the graph, they are the worst hit states which are not reporting their numbers. Tanassi is there but :woe:

I read the vax ffutses earlier,
started to reply, then

:thanks: :sig:
You, as you often do with such matters,
helped me tremendously. :righton:
I did read that Israel gave 3rd Pfizer doses in July (not called boosters but 3rd, as in a series :chuckle: ) with fewer reported side effects. :thumbs:
Meanwhile, we shall stay chilled :om: and stay safe & smart. :yes: J is axshilly spending the night with Mom tonight. :cheer:
They does a periodic grilled shrimp dinner & out for ice cream (Sonic or drive-thru) sleepover. :wig::gle:
So...
Dana or TBDN (Toyota Boshoko/Denso)?
:b: has offers &/or second interviews & multiple job choices at each & will make a decision by Tuesday. :sparkle: :yes: :sparkle:
Dana makes giant truck axles. For semis & commercial trucks.
TBDN makes auto air filters & oil filters & another filter(?).
Both companies have potential salaried offers as well as hourly, :yes: The hourly pays are quite high for this area, plus OT & they are both working lots of overtime. :yes:
He's done a lot of interviews & whatnots lately. :frantic:
There are sooooo many jobs available right now & so many companies with signing bonuses for machine operators & bidding wars for salaried. It's really quite trippy & the 2 aforementioned companies are practically fighting for :b: :bsl:
When he told the Toyota dude about his Dana interview on Monday he says, "We'll see if we can't get you a couple more dollars an hour if you want the operator job & I'll look into a day shift management possibility." :hysterical: Both jobs are night shift to start. App 3-11PM, maybe as late as 1.
He's decided that he may as well make a :carp2b: ton of money while it's there for the makin...
at least for a couple more years,
longer iffin he likes what he's doing.
Both jobs are 50 minutes away, just in different directions.
Both are night shift but not rotating nor graveyard.
Both have typical strong benefit packages.
Both are major corporations.
Both have room for growth if he chooses to go that route.
Both are working major overtime but scrambling to hire more so as to ease the workload.
One is climate controlled. :wub:
One is mostly dustlos & very clean.

I read the vax ffutses earlier,
started to reply, then
:run:
:thanks: :sig:
You, as you often do with such matters,
helped me tremendously. :righton:
I did read that Israel gave 3rd Pfizer doses in July (not called boosters but 3rd, as in a series :chuckle: ) with fewer reported side effects. :thumbs:
Meanwhile, we shall stay chilled :om: and stay safe & smart. :yes: J is axshilly spending the night with Mom tonight. :cheer:
They does a periodic grilled shrimp dinner & out for ice cream (Sonic or drive-thru) sleepover. :wig::gle:
So...
Dana or TBDN (Toyota Boshoko/Denso)?
:b: has offers &/or second interviews & multiple job choices at each & will make a decision by Tuesday. :sparkle: :yes: :sparkle:
Dana makes giant truck axles. For semis & commercial trucks.
TBDN makes auto air filters & oil filters & another filter(?).
Both companies have potential salaried offers as well as hourly, :yes: The hourly pays are quite high for this area, plus OT & they are both working lots of overtime. :yes:
He's done a lot of interviews & whatnots lately. :frantic:
There are sooooo many jobs available right now & so many companies with signing bonuses for machine operators & bidding wars for salaried. It's really quite trippy & the 2 aforementioned companies are practically fighting for :b: :bsl:
When he told the Toyota dude about his Dana interview on Monday he says, "We'll see if we can't get you a couple more dollars an hour if you want the operator job & I'll look into a day shift management possibility." :hysterical: Both jobs are night shift to start. App 3-11PM, maybe as late as 1.
He's decided that he may as well make a :carp2b: ton of money while it's there for the makin...
at least for a couple more years,
longer iffin he likes what he's doing.
Both jobs are 50 minutes away, just in different directions.
Both are night shift but not rotating nor graveyard.
Both have typical strong benefit packages.
Both are major corporations.
Both have room for growth if he chooses to go that route.
Both are working major overtime but scrambling to hire more so as to ease the workload.
One is climate controlled. :wub:
One is mostly dustlos & very clean.
And :pey: :quake: :earthheart:

She has done this before EQs (5.2 in Illinois several years back....large Mexico :quake: )
2. Me! :faint: <---- almost for reals. BP was super low earlier 88/66 . :faint: I drank a quart of Gatorade,
ate a bunch of nuts & some :popcorn: , drank some pineapple juice... Got it up to 103/68. :shera:
Still feel quite 'off' but not :luna: as earlier.
3. Me again. :rofl: Uncoordinated & clumsy. :zanna: More than usual. :nana:
4. The other cats... :blob: s. ALL of them dead-to-the-world. :splat: More than usual as well. :p
5. B. Slogging through. :sigster: He did manage to get 21 deck boards screwed in but he looks like
he is super-heavy & admits that he is 'off'.
6. J. Slept till 11 o'clock. :zzz: She's still with Mom, but just her sleeping so late was remarkable. :yes:
7. Me again again. :hysterical: Along with the low bp et all I feel slightly vertigous. :wheee:
But oddly, it is left-sided this time. :wig: Before it was always in leaning to the right. :gle:
8. Also, a sense of 'all hell breaking loose' as it is.

I just learned something! :happydance:
My silver-plated silverware is not quite silver-plated! :cheer:
It is Holmes & Edwards Inlaid IS. (International Silver)
So it is a bit thicker than regular silver-plated.
AS nothing was helping with the cloudyish film...and I could see shiny underneath...I began researching once again.
I used a magnet...no stick. My stainless silver stuck real well.
I used ice. Instant cold. Not so in the stainless spoon.
So then I used a dab of toothpaste. :uhoh: Instant shine! :cheer:
So will I kill it iffin I use toothpaste on it all? Or is there a better option?
:popcorn:
:happydance:
Fwiw, it's mostly the teaspoons. The rest of the pieces are fine.

My guess is that as the world falls apart more & more peoples are looking for meaning...why?...understanding. :namaste:
The Dana interview went very well but the place is in dire straits. Overworked, understaffed, borked equipment.
But they kept insisting something was 'coming down the pike' that they were not at liberty to talk about & reassured him that things were gonna get better. He liked the peoples (2 top peoples) but is not yet sure iffin he wants that 'challenge' at this point. NO coasting. :chuckle: 7 days a week, 10+ hours a day.
And the Toyota thang is next Tuesday. :woe: So he gots another week to vacay. :rofl:
We are on the Starlink waiting list. :yes: Have been for awhile. But still don't know if it will be doog enough for streaming. :sigh: There are mixed reviews.

That puts J ack i at the end of September. :yes:
He's seriously leaning Toyota due to 1) Covid protocol & 2) kinder gentler product line.
I mean, seriously....diesel axles? or paper filters? :duh:
Plus he really, really, likes the semi-sterile environment. :wub:

Been reading about booster qualifications & the 'immunocompromised' available now are available at Walgreens...no appointment.
Out local pharmacies have Moderna. The nearest Pfizer-carrying Walgreens is Jackson.
Anyway...anyone can walk in. No doctor referral nor proof of immune defiency needed. And. of course, nobody waiting on doses around here. :sigh:
So the CDC says this:
QuoteThe CDC recommends you get the same vaccine you got for your first two doses, so if you got the Pfizer or Moderna the first two doses, get that one for your third shot. But if that is not feasible, the CDC committee said an additional dose with the other mRNA vaccine is permitted.
What would you do iffin she was your kid? Or your self?
I am seriously considering taking her in for a Moderna shot sooner than the Sept 20 offishul release. :yes:

If Toyota ONLY sells locally then that's fine :yes: however most manufacturing plants sellage their wares for larger regions ...

Every vaccine carries some risk BUT if I had the option I would git all of them :yes: BUT if you has to choose a single booster you should decide what is it for first. IF it's to specifically combat the Delta variant get the same vaccine agin :yes: 'cuz the Pfizer one werks doog and you are trying to raise the levels of antibodies :yes: However, keep in mind the side effects will likely be more intense :uhoh:
On the other hand IF you want to :bump: the immune response against any and all variants I'd recommend a vaccine that she had not received. In particular I would recommend the J&J which is the wurst against the Delta but has the bestest longevity :yes:
Iffen she was my kid she would be used to being :egg: perimented on so I'd prolly try the Moderna 'cuz that's my favourite :gstars: In addition to being doog against the delta it's also known to has the highest first dose antibody effect, of course you don't noes what the side effects might be ... I would :egg: pect bad :sofa: but prolly less bad than another Pfizer shot :yes:
Anywho, keep in mind all of this hullabaloo is because the antibody level for the antigen drops after a few months, which is NORMAL :yes:
Your body doesn't want to keep producing antibodies for every virus it has ever seen and fought off :nono: Yes, hasing those antibodies present amidst a pandemic would be doog to has :yes: BUT it puts stress on the immune system and yer body overall. Instead, your body has a type of immune memory and cells that werk more like patrolling security guards than soldiers fighting off an invader :guns:
In other wurdz these boosters will raise the antibody count and this time it will likely be more and last longer since yer body would have seen the same thang or similar thrice BUT eventually the antibodies will drop agin :therethere:
If there are no new variants and the covid vanishes in 6 months then :beerme: and hasing lotsa antibodies is a doog thang kinda like soldiers wandering the streets waiting for a covid virus to show up so they can killz it :guns:
On the other hand if there are no antibodies and a covid virus does come waltzing by yer bodies security guards need to see what's going on then report the event THEN more antibodies will be made to killz the invader. This adds a window of time for the virus to run amock BUT how much time depends on the person for some it's almost like no time at all for others it might be too muches :dunno: Also how fast a virus takes hold depends partially on the initial viral load which is why having antibodies circulating is helpful AND why masks always help regardless :yes:
Here's How Well COVID-19 Vaccines Work Against the Delta Variant (https://www.healthline.com/health-news/heres-how-well-covid-19-vaccines-work-against-the-delta-variant)
"CDC Director Dr. Rochelle WalenskyTrusted Source issued a warning on this potential surge earlier this month.
In a press briefing, she said preliminary data suggested that 99.5 percent of the people who died from COVID-19 since January were unvaccinated." Same link (https://www.healthline.com/health-news/heres-how-well-covid-19-vaccines-work-against-the-delta-variant)
So yes a booster is very likely a doog idea to avoid serious symptoms and prevent spreading the virus BUT being vaccinated means you, he, she are all in a pretty doog position ... ya see vaccination in this case is key to control :om:

Nice circular read there. :beerme:
For reals. :yes:
J & J is not offered as a booster. :nonono: They is concerned about the side effects on that one. :yes:
And in Israel, the repoted side effects from the 3rd shot were negligible. Much less than the first or second.
To me, that dint make alotta sense iffin we say that the side effects are due to the body recognizing the invader.
This: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.29.454333v1
is not peer reviewed...but is shore does has alotta authors! :yes:

Of course, one cannot choose the covid flavor beyond Delta. :laugh:

Great another paper that confirms what was already known :roll: Those are prolly students and post docs gettin a free paper :yes: t'is the way of academia research :om:
Oh one notable point is the vaccines generate a wider spectrum of capabilities against variants getting covid au naturel generates a more potent single variant response but opens up the possibility of getting covid a second time with new variant.
The thang is there are lotsa LOTSA variants most are only minor tweaks from a defined strain that are similar enough to not make a difference to a vaccinated individual BUT depending on how a persons body responded to a previous infection may or may not elicit an appropriate response.
In other wurdz the vaccine gives yer body a net to capture different versions of a virus while yer body recovering from an infection has a really doog drop line :sandman:
"My kid is used to being :egg: sperimented on. :rofl:
Just in a kinder, gentler way. :nana: "
Emotionally biasing is bad psience :moon:
Yeah that J&J :heart: thang is stoopid :roll: it's real but occurs with all the vaccines as well as wild caught covid. It's just that it was noticed with the J&J so they gotted hit with a follow up requirement :fist: Anywho J&J appears to cast the widest net for variants AND has the longest lasting benefits BUT is less effective at avoiding the initial infection.
The thang is it's likely/possibly the different technologies which account for the variations :yes: J&J uses the classic disabled adenovirus method for producing vaccines vs the newer mRNA ... J&J was also tested in South Africa with rampant disease, poor medical access and basically a rougher virus, vs the mRNA vaccines which kinda got it easy.
Anywho my rationale was that J&J got a better workout for testing AND is classic vaccine tech so the outcomes are better understood AND the one and done shot thang :yes: Now I'd like to add a Moderna vaccine 'cuz iffen I'm right and occasionally that does happen ... the Moderna vaccine gives the highest single dose response and overlapping the J&J coverage should make me :superman: or ya noes more so than the other vaccines anyway :oz:

We haz flooding here. Of course. But not as severe. :sigh:
Sooooo much :rain: this year, and not much :sun:. It's destroyed my garden for the most part.
Rev Jesse Jackson and his wife are in hopsikal with da covid. They were vaccinated with pfizer early on.
Our county's numbers are rising quickly agains.
I'm concerned because I think breakthroughs are a thing. I think the amount of them is significant.

We ate outdoors at a marina & then went here: thewallsartpark.com And then...to a quaint little place in Waverly called "The Milkshakery" for ride home treats. Waverly got 17.5" in less than 24 hours. :faint:
So... :b: is accepting an offer from Dana! :faint: They made him an offer he cannot refuse. :righton: Including a 5k signing bonus. :faint:

They are a thang :yes: and :egg: trordinarily significant so much so you has to wonder why the CDC is choosing not to track breakthrough covid cases in the public :wall: but only those related to hopsikilization PBS Newshour (https://youtu.be/hC57WQxgdDo?t=975) video.
I am totally ON for getting my dad a booster as soon as possible AND gitting myself a Moderna jab :yes: However, the biggest problem right now is edumecating the public and my guess is that the not tracking Breakthrough cases is a politically motivated choice :fist:
Before even thinking of giving out boosters EBERYONE should has gotten Fully vaccinated first ... ok sure 25% absolutely will not BUT there are still ~23% who might be persuaded, which is millions of people :yes: BUT since they are taking too long to decide ... it's boosters fer all :gstars:
For those who are vaccinated the boosters will make them even safer against the Delta :thumbs: BUT the problem remains that there are large population pools where the virus can hangout and mutate :blob: AND eventually the vaccine will no longer werk :uhoh:
Anywho Public Edumacation is key :yes: Breakthrough cases are being used as evidence that the vaccines don't werk and people should not git them. Not tracking breakthrough cases is an easy shortsighted way not to give antivaxxers any amo ... Unfortunately unerstanzing breakthrough cases is the BEST way to judge when a Booster should be deployed, which vaccine to use AND to identify community risk factors.
In other wurdz Pan concerned :check: amount significant :check: ... preachy not really :nono:

Speaking of which anyone inerested in "Ionized Water" ? Apparently 1 it's a thang and people are forking out BIG Buckeroonies for what is referred to as Kangen Water ... :secret: in Japanasia kangen means "return to origin"
Anywho the devices that do these thangs sell from $500 to $3000 :faint: and all they is doing to make "alkaline" water is pulling the water from around the anode which has the O2 and -OH anions near it ... so it tweaks the pH using mechanical separation. Well heck I can does that :yes:
In any event I can see why it might taste better PLUS might help those with bad teeth :yes: a slight alkaline pH is prolly a doog thang ... though I kinda doubt the main health claims :woo:

:bsl:
Lots going on...Sis & Bil arrived today. Chloe's parents. :chuckle: Haven't seen them yet, but going over soon.
And B is doing pre-employment paperwork & ffutses. :crazyeyes: They is quite thorough. :rofl:
And yeah, we agrees about Toyota but this was/is TBDN. A joint venture with Denson, I think. Not a pureblood. :chuckle:
THe other doog thing about this place is much fewer employees. Large axles, large machinery/lifts. relatively few peoples to pass infection around. :clap: The filter factry had lotsa little machines & lotsa peoples operating them & moving product around. :frantic:
He's actually quite excited. :clap:
Covid...yeah. :sigh: I am seriously considering taking J & J to Walgreen's. Did I say that before?
They has Moderna here. CDC guidance recommends the same as the first 2 but they say when that is unavailable the other mRNA is fine.
Remember my Ex-Uncle? The one with COPD, heavy smokage, diabetes & covid?
The one who walked out of the hopsickle after being convalescent plasma after the fambily was told he would not make it?
Anyway...he gotted 2 vaccines (likely Moderna) after having had Covid. :chuckle:
And just gotted a third. He said the 3rd one was the roughest side-effect wise. :yes:
Knocked him out for 2 days. :faint:
So does that mean his immunity was likely already so built up?
Or does that mean he is still pretty puny?
or neither?
:crazyeyes:
And yeah, I noed breakthroughs are a thing. :yes: I been following the Israel data.
That's also where pretty much all the vaccines were Pfizer. :yes:
Teachers are dropping like flies, pediatric ICUs are full, & schools are still going full speed ahead...masks optional. :gaah:
AND...the governor is not allowing remote learning this year.

To be accurate the side effects don't mean anything other than that's how his body reacted :oz:
The more informative info is that a 3rd dose needs {or should have been recommended by} a doctors approval OR he just went in willy nilly getting shots on his own ... which I can respect.

Keep in mind that tech :nickel: ly there are NO "breakthrough" cases with Delta :nono: ... the vaccine numbers are only for covid original flavour. The numbers being presented for the various vaccines vs Delta are not nearly as well established and considered much less accurate.

TITANIUM MESH! :excited: :woohoo: :jump:
:spitcoffee:
So...neither me nor B s;ept well last night. :huh: Very unusual.
I felt an electrical buzz & strange pain around my tailbone.
He was having what is now infrequent costa chondroitis like discomfort.
No trigger other than :fullmoon: & general 'energies'.
:dunno:
We are fine this morning. He's already gone to pee in a cup. :chuckle: Drug test at a Fast Pace :scared:
:uhoh: about him walking into a Fast Pace right now, not about the test. :rofl:
They open at 8 so he was gonna be there at open. :check:
Seems everybody knows somebody who has covid now. :sigh: It's quite widespread.
Tanasi doesn't report on the weeekends...or seemingly Mondays... :roll: so best I could guess is that the 20,000+ new cases were for Sat/Sun/Mon. :woe:
Zen Aunt has a hairline fracture on her knee. :faint: She cain't see an ortho til next week (he's on vacay) but her GP just told her to put as little weight as possible on it until then. :sigh: It's the bone on the inside of the knee...the medial somethin or other.
Maybe this will keep her & Mom reined in more. :yes: They kinda got back in 'go mode' & I've been hasing to play bad cop once again. :woe:

The Titanium mesh basically means BIG :butt: electrode so I can push more power :vibes: into the :electrocute: ing of the water/salt. Now my little bleach reactors can be BIG :bliss:
Yeah srsly that's purty much all I wanted :ashamed:
No triggers :woe: srsly yer durt pHarmerz it's prolly durt or pHarmin related costa chondroitis or ya noes doof related on account of ... um ya noes ... ffuts :yes:
Oh you can git a doog idea of tanassi's real numbers by looking at Alabama and Georgia numbers then using the square of relative population areas. Ok it sounds tech :nickel: but look at cities or counties of similar size then git the population numbers. If the ratio is 1 to 1 then the covid numbers are likely very similar. If the population ratio is 1 to 2 then the covid numbers are related by a factor of 4 or 1/4.
So iffen the population ratio was 2 to 2.37 ... 2/2.37 = 0.84 and that squared (0.84)2 = 0.71 so the factor is 0.71 :yes:
Anywho that more or less gives you an idea of what the numbers should be :oz:

And trigger....maybe Chloe's delicious 3 layer cake with homemade raspberry & lemon fillings & drizzles. :drool:
We don't eat that kinda ffuts. Ever. As of this year. :nonono: :chuckle:
That's alotta calculating to know we suck. :woe:
Proof:
:b: went to Fast Pace this morning for his drug test. They opened at 8 & he was there a couple minutes before.
Already 5 women were in line at the door (2 of them masklos) & 2 more in cars.
He sat in the truck til everyone went in & then got in line on the outside of the door.
Eeerbody was there for covid tests. :sigh:
They sent the covid ppl back to their vcls & he sat in the waiting room. For over an hour. :wtf:
He chose the farthest back seat, facing the door & was obliviously masked.
By the time he got finished they were telling new ppls coming in that there was a 2 1/2 hour wait for a covid test. :scared:
The nurse tolded him that it's continuously gotten worse since school started over 2 weeks ago. :wtf:
:sofa:
And trigger....maybe Chloe's delicious 3 layer cake with homemade raspberry & lemon fillings & drizzles. :drool:
We don't eat that kinda ffuts. Ever. As of this year. :nonono: :chuckle:
That's alotta calculating to know we suck. :woe:
Proof:
:b: went to Fast Pace this morning for his drug test. They opened at 8 & he was there a couple minutes before.
Already 5 women were in line at the door (2 of them masklos) & 2 more in cars.
He sat in the truck til everyone went in & then got in line on the outside of the door.
Eeerbody was there for covid tests. :sigh:
They sent the covid ppl back to their vcls & he sat in the waiting room. For over an hour. :wtf:

Yup that sounds about right :yes:
On the plus side the covid tests don't cost a hunert bucks now {yes insurance covers it} though some/most still require that nasal :brain: swab :horror: Not doesing that agin :nonono:
Did he pass his drug test? or does he needz to up his drugginess :hippy:
:flyball:
The really skeery part is that kids <12 are still not eligible for vaccines BUT the many stoopid states are trying to outlaw masks in skool :woe: So even though Delta is sending plenty of kids to the hopsickle they do not wear masks at skool making them and their skoolz ideal super spreading systems :wall: Srsly what the heck are peoplez thinking :wall:
Anywho thangs were kinda flattening out but with skool opening/spreading there should be a doog covid :bump: showing in another week or two which of course is perfectly timed for labour day :gaah:
On the plus side I could use another nice lockdown vacay :yes: I just really wish the booster shots were available now instead of what is going to be the wurst possible time :woe:
In other newses I'm thinking it's going to be a cold winter :shiver: I dunno about wet :hmm2: but cold :yes: Atleast this is my prediction :mina:
:snowball: :bliss:
Anywho I'm now looking at water pipe insulation and pipe warmers :yes: I aint neber thunked about water pipes going :boom: afores :nono: So that's gonna be my pre-winter project :angel:

Jim Baker (former big $$ televangelist) says "God can't hear our prayers through masks".
:gaah: :bsl:
As for test passage... :dunno: They said 48-72 hours. :huh: No clue what they're testing for but he oughta have none of nothin in his system. :chuckle: I figure opiates, thc, whatever the kemikill in meth is... :dunno:
He/we don't even take no prescription drugs. :nonono: A rare analgesic is about all we ingests. :wiggle:
As for boosters, I bet they'll be sooner. :righton:
I've read today where they are saying 6 months after your 2nd instead of 8.
Yup. The entire US pandemic response is totally, ridiculously, patchworked & hodgepodged & primarily ineffective. :faint:
I mean, even the areas of the country that do the bestest things are subjected to idjits from other areas messing up their space.
I just read an article about what an awesome return-to-school plan Vermont had LAST year...when there were a total of 6 cases in the state. But this year they decided since their vax rate was high they'd just toss out the old playbook. :nonono:
The masklosness around here is back to where it was in the beginning. 20-30% :sigh:
We'd axshully gotten up to 80% or so when mandates were in place but now...
hard to squeeze the genie back in the bottle.
:popcorn:

He should prolly find a better dog :yes: most people are not hard to unerstanz even when masked :zorro:
Oh meth is just a type of ampHetamine which is a central nervous system stimulant ... what makes them so skeery is pHenethylamines are :egg: trordinarily cheap and easy to make :horror: Unfortunately kemikilly stimulating yer CNS is rarely a doog idea ya noes with the :egg: ception of :coffee: of course :whistle:
Anywho iffen it was a blood test then the panel can vary but for yer area ampHetamines, cocaine, marijuana, any of the opioids, and PCP are the norm :yes: LSD is another common one but that's usually done with hair samples :afro:
Boosters should be given to the elderly and immune compromised first :yes: All of the tests saying how long ffuts lasts are kinda stoopid ... they only check to see if there are any antibodies floating around and unless a person is constantly being subjected to the same thang over and over agin Yes you should has no antibidies after 6 months in fact after 3 months it's rare to be able to detect much and that's normal :yes:
The problem is that the boosters should be given 2 weeks afores Labour Day ... ya noes which is now :roll:
Vermont totally gotted it right :thumbs: even their math werked out with the roughly 75% vaccinated and recovered immune being transmission killers :thumbs: The problem is Delta came along and messed eberythang up :pullhair:
Srsly covid oritinal flavour was 1000 times less infectious because the load was 1000 times less. Higerh load values increase risk PLUS makes cases develop faster and hit harder but for Vermont that also borked the math for safe "herd immunity" levels le :sigh:
Now kids are hundreds of times more susceptible AND they are not vaccineable which makes them and antivaxxer parents a covid perfect storm.
Well I guess that genie depends on where you live 'cuz here it never dropped below about 50% masking :nono: Now it 's basically a hunert percent though I'm not sure iffen there is a mask mandate now or not :scratch: it's more just why wouldn't you where a mask here :dunno:
Anywho for many this is just coming down to a Darwin Game Challenge and the smate money is on not playing, wearing a mask, social distancing and getting that booster as soon as it comes out :beerme: Ignorance is curable but stoopid is a life sentence and sometimez ... when people are really adamant about their stoopid then yeay it can be a death sentence too :kickcan:

Isn't it fascinating though? The 'mind' of the virus, that is. :chuckle:
I mean how the apha came to teach us how to take care of one anothers. How to respect each others. And how to prioritize LIFE over everything else.
But we dint learn. :sigh:
So Delta comes in much more aggressively to :buttkick: peoples into doing the 'right' thing.
May the Dog of Masked Peoples watch over us now! :superman:
:horror:
Oh yeah...we're going to Memphis. :chuckle:
But just to Ikea (masked) & maybe the International Market (masked) & we will eat outdoors or maybe at Ikea iffin it's not crowded. :dunno: Or maybe we eat in the car. :yes:
J ack i has long bee promised a new bed, at the least. Maybe a desk & dresser or accessories as well. :dunno:
But we gonna go scope it out 7 take some notes. ,Then the nalp is to order the funiture & await delivery (a couple months).

Jacki is sick. :sigh:
Snotty, steadily rising fever...up to 101.1 right now.
Likely covid. :gheart:
The rapid test was negative, but it is super early. The kit comes with 2 tests & says to repeat after 36 hours.

In case it wasn't oblivious...
we dint go anywheres. :rofl:
I've made jello, got chicken cooking for soup, been feeding her :cs: , homeopathic remedies (:whatever:), forcing fluids
& monitoring her temperature.
She peaked at 101.7 & is now back to 101.1
I want to let it do it's job (the fever) as long as it doesn't get too high. I've checked every 30 minutes. :yes:
And figure I'll give her Aleve (don't have any tylenol) if it hits 102.
I had given her a pseudoephedrine at 8:15, when she insisted she wasn't sick & still wanted to go to Ikea.
Just to see if it dried her up. :laugh: It did a bit...but mostly wired her up :jumpy: ...and now is wearing off.
But just the regular red pill, not the tylenol added type. I does have some cold meds like ALka Seltzer plus & Cold & Flu ffuts that I can give her for symptom relief (& fever reduction) if need be but I always like to let the body do it's normal miracle thang as long as it's able. :sparkle:

J! :gheart: Dunno why, but thought of stinging nettle. It sounds like she is getting on the other side of it?
Our curve has taken a sharp turn upwards. True to overall pattern since it started, though. It ain't over. :sigh:
Winter. I'm thinking ours will be close to normal for once. We won't see snow fly until after Halloween. If we have anything out of normal, it will be the amount of snow we get. I kinda think you're right Sig, about where you are. I think it's going to be colder than normal. Anyways, about those pipes... They have foam tubes that fit the length of the pipes and insulate them. They work well. Iffin yer ex doesn't take them off for no apparent reason... :bsl:
Also, a low level heater of some sort that stops the area where the pipes are from dropping to freezing temps would be good. :thumbs:
Yer in CA., it won't take much to protect them pipes. Not gonna see the negative zero temps we see here.
Yeah, my zucchini is dying. :eek: I've never in the decades of planting it, have I ever seen that happen. I got a total of 3 zucchini. Usually, that amt. is at least quadruple. Three of my tomato plants died. Generally, I can't keep up with them they grow so thick and tall. It's been just plain bad this year. :gaah:
Tibial Plateau Fx's can be tricky, because of where they are. Rest that knee as much as possible. Not only not walking on it, but not bending it. It's not just a clean break, unfortunately. There are bunches of other things that are compromised; tendons, ligaments, etc. I hope it resolves fast and easy. :hug:

My zucchinis did the same thing! :faint: Yellow squashes, too.
I thought maybe it was the varieties I had. :dunno:
Pretty much eerthing else is burnt up here. :chuckle: Got a few green beans, a few cukes clinging to life, a couple peppers that we don't even eat :chuckle: and a whole lotta basil flowering all over tarnation. :hysterical: I planted lotsa basil for the :bee: though so it's all good.
Thanks, Deb for the fx info. She said she read that it could take 4-6 months to heal.
Boy oh boy she looks so much older. :sigh: Funny how pain does that to us. :yes: She's typically a very youthful 70.
:thanks: :michafire: :hugs:
So...J's fever peaked today at 102.4. I gave her ibuprofen & now she's down to 100.7 & looks pretty good.
She's just snotty & feverish. :hugs: I just found out they are doing free drive-thru covid testing as of this week at the health department
& I may take her in the morning. :yes: It would be nice to have confirmation...becuz of antibodies.
I can also do another home test after tomorrow night.

"Stinging nettle... :scratch: "
Hmmm must have fallen out of vogue :scratch: it's harder to find now but classically stinging nettles were used to treat muskle soreness and joint problems :yes: And yes that might be doog for a flu especially with the kidney benefits and plenty of water :yes:
NO Not J ack i :bawling:
Iffen it is then likely the vector is :b: coming back from the drug clinic :fist: the big issue is arms and hands sitting in chairs. 'cuz people rarely wash their entire arm when covid washing. But there's also hair and clothes and even reusable masks :yes: covid can build up on the mask and live there quite happily 'cuz it's moist then when you take it off it gits on yer hands and ... :horror:
BUT no blame :nono: it's always a risk you can only does what you can and you he did :yes:
Um yeah other than perchance some form of doof or durt poisoning it's literally almost impossible for it to be anything other than covid. There's relatively few non-covid flu vectors being tracked and in the summer they nearly vanish anyways, and then how many flu's are more infectious than covid ... I mean it had to bypass social distancing, masks and even hand washing ... presumably :no:
Anywho you are doesing the right thang :yes: Colloidal silver 'cuz it kills ALL viruses eventually and it can act as a barrier and you and :b: are no doubt taking it along with J ack i :angel:
FYI: since she is no doubt getting a lot of fluids I'd mix it in with OJ or whatever drinks she gits :yes:
IF you git the chance and she likes pineapple giver her pineapple whateverz :yes: It's a siguie brand theory I'll mention later :oz:
Other than reducing symptoms yer only other options are monitoring for crackling sounds which is tricky without a stethoscope but will generally begin only on the exhalation it's hard to be sure iffen you haven't heard it afores but basically listen to her breathe both ways and iffen it changes call a hopsickle 'cuz they are gonna be busy :uhoh:
The doog news is the vaccine even with waning effectiveness is prolly more than what she needs :flex: There is nigh zero chance that her infection, if covid, was from a large initial load 'cuz you all mask, social distance, etc. :thumbs: and while 8 months is a long time for antibodies to hang around it aint even a thang to Memory B Cells {MBC} :nono: they hang around for multiple decades :bliss:
In other words low initial viral load means symptoms progress slowly, and when a MBC sez "hey I noes you" then :boom: antibodies galore rain heck down on the covid :guns:
In the meantime git a PulseOximeter I have one with a perfusion system that helps with low blood pressure readings plus a few other gimmicks like rotating LED readout BUT for the most part I recommend something like ...
Contec Finger Tip Pulse Oximeter - Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) and Pulse Rate Monitor - Portable LED Display (https://amzn.to/3jj64DC) ... it's FDA approved generally accurate AND is the cheapest pulsox available on Amazon thatis Not :carp: ... oh and no I don't have one but I recommended it to a few people who said it works well as long as you don't use it on yourself 'cuz the LED readout is the wrong way around :oz:
Zacurate Pro Series 500DL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor (https://amzn.to/2Wuv3Lx) ... this is the cheapest "sport" ready pulseoximeter that I like :yes: ... a little more accurate, takes more readings over time and I liked it :yes: I gave it to a friend who has thin fingers and couldn't git her built in treadmill :heart: monitoring software to werk.
Obliviously those are my Amazon link choices and honestly they are prolly all anyone needs or should has. Though iffen J ack i has thin fingers she may need a pediatrics pulseox :dunno:
Anywho for me I has one with a perfusion system and rolling display and it's stoopid :egg: pensive :ashamed: Oh and the one I use for me is a smate watch from Wyze that has a pulseox. I originally wanted it in case my dad got sick and it was a way I could remotely git his pulse and oxygen saturation levels BUT for now it's just my smate watch :angel:
I of course also has my oxygen concentrators ... one at Dad's and one for siguie brand research and is not just a toy I play with :whistle:
In the meantime though srsly git a pulseox :yes: Then try not to worry too much :console: odds are doog that you and :b: are also infected AND I :egg: pect you all to be fine :angel: ... just stay awayz from momma durt and ZA ya dang durty :hippy: s :buttkick:
As for pipes, yeah I already has the cover on the outside pipe :yes: though it's more to prevent the sun from heating my should be cold water :fist: For the most part the main water feed for the house is easy :peas: y to keep warm BUT I was wondering about the under the house lines 'n such :hmm2: In theory I could wrap or staple next two some of them long warming cords. Basically they look like :egg: tension cords but radiate a little heat :yes:
Alternatively I've thunk maybe close off some of the ventilation holes and just leave a heater on in the crawl space :hmm2:
As for doof crops Dad's Fava :bean: s didn't survive the heat ... version 4 were basically baked :bean: s :rimshot: though not un :egg: Pected since they are a winter crop in England :roll: :tomatoe: s yields were low this year though that might be the new soil conditions, however, Hot peeperz are :bump: er cropping :yesss: And I'm literally the only one who eats them and I still have a dozen left to cook with and plenty more on the way :yes:

Basically they look like :egg: tension cords but radiate a little heat :yes:
Alternatively I've thunk maybe close off some of the ventilation holes and just leave a heater on in the crawl space :hmm2:
As for doof crops Dad's Fava :bean: s didn't survive the heat ... version 4 were basically baked :bean: s :rimshot: though not un :egg: Pected since they are a winter crop in England :roll: :tomatoe: s yields were low this year though that might be the new soil conditions, however, Hot peeperz are :bump: er cropping :yesss: And I'm literally the only one who eats them and I still have a dozen left to cook with and plenty more on the way :yes:
Ya noes perchance you should try some indoor doof planting :yes:

Oh I fergetted :doh: the pineapple connection :oz:
I likes pineapple and eat a LOT of the ffuts ... preferably in Hawaii :hula: but I also has my siguie brand smoothie.
Anywho, it's long been known that pineapple contains bromelain which is a proteolytic enzyme {aka a protease} which breaks down proteins.
Iffen you eat enough pineapple you can git measurable amounts in yer bloodstream :yes: The same is true for papain the protease in papaya {especially high in green papaya} and ficin which is the enzyme in figs. This is why all three doofs are considered helpful for digesting big meals especially protein heavy ones :angel: The thang is, pineapple growds up in a particularly acidic environment so can better tolerate stomach acid. In other wurdz it's easier to git bromelain into yer blood in reasonable concentrations than the other two though they all prolly werk :yes:
Why would someone want High concentrations of a protease in ones blood doog question one answer is that it was recently shown to remove eye floaters OR atleast reduce them by 65% to 75% within 3 months :oz:
That's fine and all I just neber had an issue with eye floaters BUT here's the thang yer body depends on proteins for just about eberythang and is constantly making and tearing down proteins. The thang is a hooman body is better at making proteins than it is at dismantling them, eye floaters being an example.
SO ... :whatever: ... many of the siguie brand line of smoothies starts with 4 to 6 oz of frozen pineapple from cotco :oz: usually a :banana: is added and about 4 ounces of POM juice and finished up with an ounce or two of either mango or guava juice {as the sweetener}.
The point is 2 to 4 ounces of pineapples is a known amount for benefits and I happen to use that much 'cuz it tastes doog along with POM :elvis:
So the point, viruses have no moobing parts, they rely entirely on chance that the environmental conditions will bring them into contact with something their protein sheath aka capsid can attach to and infect, I just thunked well heck if bromelain happens to find a virus maybe it will eat the capsid sheath which is basically killin it :angel:

Ahhhh...neberminds about the post. :sigh:
Yeah, I :dunno: the stinging nettle just sorta popped into my head. To be fair, there can be reactions to it, but I thinks those are rare. :book: abouts it, and sees what you think. Thing is, it grows wild all over the place. Best time to harvest is in early spring which I didn't do this year. :ashamed: When it gets bigger, then there's all those little stinging hairs to contend with. :uhoh:
My zucchini was toast this year. I got a total of 3 fruit from it. Generally I have at least quadruple that amount. I got one yield out of the beans, and it was a small yield. I have one more yield coming, but then I think that will be all. Usually I have large continual yields, and I can freeze a decent amount. Two cucumbers so far, and again, I generally have a much bigger yield by now. Tomatos? They have really suffered. :sigh: The growing season has been changing, and this year it really showed.
But I saw more :butterfly: and :bee: this year. My yellow day lilies thrived. The wild forget-me-nots also thrived, blossoming way beyond their usual cycle. Also, the wood sorrel that grew was gorgeous, and I refused to weed it out. I noticed a ton of big healthy earthworms too. That's something I hadn't seen in a while. Of course, I'm sure the saturated water table drove them up and out, but it was still very noticeable.
How is J today? :gheart:
Weird. Sig, I've been craving pineapple lately. Usually, I only like a dish once in a while, but I been at it a few times in a week. I likes it, but I doesn't like the tingling in my mouth when I first eat it, so that would be why I didn't eat it often. :huh:
I'm all about those T cells, and beefing them up. Well...not "beefing" exactly. :bsl:

J is still in bed (it's 8 o'clock here) but I can see that her fever is still down. :yes:
Before bed she was down to 98.1.
She has a tissue held at her nose. :chuckle:
I ordered the sport oximeter. Primarily becuz it will be here tomorrow. :righton: Thanks, Sig. :righton:
And I noes you said before, but it IS somethin I just needs to have on hand. :yes:
And :pineapple: :check:
She was funny yesterday. She was anxious...and determined to do everything I suggested & then some. :rofl:
When she's anxious she talks, non-stop. :blah: :blah: :blah:
A pediatric surgeon who was trying to talk to her about a central IV finally told her, "QUIET!!! Do you know why you have 2 ears & just 1 mouth?"
She says, "Noooo".
He says, "So you will LISTEN twice as much as you talk. Got it?"
That worked.
:bsl:
I had to remind her, over & over again, that the stories we see on the newses are the worst case scenarios. That there are many, many, many more peoples who get covid & are just fine. They are just not talked about on TV. :chuckle:
I pretty much had to remind B of the same thing. :rofl: He just worries about his baby, :wub:
And yeah, I pretty much figure it has to be covid as well. :yes:
But besides the clinic, my sis & bil were just here & of course, Chloe works restaurants sans mask. All 3 of them are vaccinated, but none of them are good at masking...especially down here where it is rare :sigh: Anyway, we had dinner with them on Monday...breakfast with them on Wednesday She woke up sick on THursday. :dunno:
And no. No blame. That doesn't help anything ever. :nonono:
:pey: Energies are still 'wave-y' & super-high. :wtf:
And yes, the times they are a changin' still... :crazyeyes: It is hot AF here but yet there is a very distinct :autumn: feel.
The army worms browned the grass, but the shadows are also quite long. :huh: But I still has tons of blosssoms all over everywhere & also tons of flutterers... :bufly: :dragonfly: :bee:

J's feber broked. :happydance: That is good news. :thumbs:
You described the "feel" of weather perfectly. Summer heat on steriods, but :fall: is in the air.
So. Explain to me why ivermectin is a thing? Seriously? What is wrong with peoples? :faint:
How does an anti-parasitic med for large farm animals translate into a cure for hooman virus? :huh:
Poison control is reporting their calls are up by 550% Why am I not surprised. :gaah:

Ivermection is a thang becuz some :crazy: conspiracy doctor &/or Q 'leader' told eeerbody it's a thang. :woe:
Seriously, I saw where a doctor in Floriduh was in trouble for writing 1000's of prescriptions for it. (It is also a people drug but :crazy: peoples just buy the animule kind at Tractor Supply or Rural King or whatevers, sans rx)
:pey: the fever is still down but she does have a goodly amount of mucus still and is coughing just a wee bit.
Enough though that the focus is now on keeping it out of her lungs. Any ideas for that in specific is mucho welcomed.
She's drinking elderberry/echinacea tea with honey.
And I had a humidifier with eucalyptus in her room last night & am about to get it going in the living room where she now sits.
She & B both has tendencies towards lung settling ffutses. :sigh: Moreso in years past & tho I remembers well I also gotta remember that bodies DO change. :yes:
Funny sidebar. but way back when, when I was coming out of a 12 year autoimmune disease period I read that the average lifespan of a cell was 7 years.
"WOW!", thunk I.
"In 7 years I can has a whole new body!!!". :hi5:
:bsl:
And yeah... :windy: :wub:
Last night I dreamt I was with Jinn Kai. He was younger than he currently is & he was sad :cry: and said he was lonely. :luvcry:
I held him & told him I loved his Grandma Jodi very very much. :wub:
He seemed to feel better & then we just hung out for awhile.
:hearts:
And today I've felt Joe around. :sparkle:
Likely looking after J ack i. :heartbeat:

"...fever is still down. :yes: "
:yesss:
OKs very doog sign :thumbs: ... assuming Delta variant typical onset of symptoms is 2 to 5 days so prolly Monday :dunno: as for healing up it varies from 2 to 3 days to 2 weeks :sofa: Fever is the main thang to monitor :yes: but PulseOx is what you want to watch for avoiding pneumonia type ffuts :thumbs:
Also keep in mind it takes a little time to learn the foibles on new equipment so no panicking until you figure out where the veins are :nono:
Also portable PulseOx are not the same as medically calibrated blood oxygen monitors so don't try to follow any website numbers other than what your system papers say. Most peoples git confused with the percentages believing they is linear ... they are not :nono: They also represent the Oxygenated blood and not free O2 running around in your blood like I've been forced to asplain in the past.
Oh and the point is that the usual dire and oh so dramatic SUDDEN decrease in oxygen saturation is either the meter on at the wrong angle or the persons hand is cold :oz:
That said typical blood oxygen levels are measured in mmHg {millimetres of Mercury} BUT since 100mmHg is "normal" 100 is basically considered 100%.
An inerestin tidbit ... Hyperoxemia is 120mmHg or greater. Why is this of interest ... well it means that at normal saturation levels there are still more than 20% of blood cells not being oxygenated. :yes: SO ... :whatever: ... eber wunderz what happens when you happenz to has an oxygen concentrator and use it while wearing a pulse oximeter ... sadly nuthin at all they just peak at 100% and don't show nuthin elses :fist:
As for the mucus amelioration regimen ... the eucalyptus and humidity :bump: are your bestest bets :thumbs: AND you should let it continue for atleast a while longer since that's literally the bodies flushing system :yes:
That said keep in mind that mucus in the lungs tends to be more from positional sitting or lying and turning to one side or another is an effective option :yes:
A last resort is Guaifenesin which is the key ingredient in thangs like Muxinex ... it werks and is sumthin known as an Expectorant which helps coughs be more "productive" and is mostly for pHlem which is similar to mucous but not the same :nono: pHlem is the thicker gooey more problematic :blob: that a persons cough is trying to git out :buttkick:
A minor cough is :egg: pected so no worries and srsly only iffen she gits that weird continuous non-productive cough should you even consider the Guaifenesin. :angel:
Anywho, with luck she will be fine by tomorrow just watch her temp AND yours plus :b: s ... temperature is a first noticeable symptom but pulse is likely the real first one but most people do not noes what their true resting pulse should be ... yes of course I noes mine ... but now so can you. :yes: The real first symptom is likely a slight rise in pulse as yer body starts the warming process :yes:

He's going. Unless he's symptomatic, which I doubt. He had a bit of sinus congestion & sneeziness yesterday...and fatigue.
But today he's fine. He's already been to Paris for a replacement truck title...and to get gas for the mower...and now he's mowing.
Me too had mild symptoms yesterday but they all gone now. No fever for either of us. :nonono:
We got vaxed in March. 2nd shot in April. Moderna, amembers? So although we likely had/have it we are essentially asymptomatic.
In Tanasi there is no time off work for asymptomatic peoples. :nonono: And yes, he will wear a mask. Everyone at his new place will. :check:
This: eber wunderz what happens when you happenz to has an oxygen concentrator and use it while wearing a pulse oximeter ... sadly nuthin at all they just peak at 100% and don't show nuthin elses :fist:

watch her breathing too -
if her rate (breaths per minute)
goes up let her lungs be checked
(hubby was breathing up to 60 times a minute and said he has enough air -
the oximeter said he was down to 69% - so off to hospital for him)

:michafire: is right. Watch her breath rate. Shallow, fast breaths are not good. However, deeper steady breaths are, which is why, as Sig talked about, sitting and laying is not so good. The average bpm is about 12-14 unless said person has just done the 50 yard dash. Just watch for them when she isn't noticing you watching. :ninja: Even just 30 secs. x 2 will give you a good enough count. I know this because I had to take vitals all the time with pts. I usually counted while I was taking a pulse rate. You don't want the pt. to know, because it kinda skews the true reading if they are aware.
It sounds to me like you're doing exactly what needs to be done to protect the lungs. Just like Sig said. :thumbs:
A ginger or peppermint tea would maybe help things, too. It doesn't have to be hot. It can be iced.
Crackles can be felt too, not just heard. Laying your hand on the posterior ribs about a hand down from the armpit. Hold there, horizontal so that the fingertips are at the spine. Kinda like how you hold a partner slow dancing (Not you Sig. I'm sure those hands slid lower) gentle and firm through about 3-4 breaths. If there are crackles you'll feel the faint pop of them. A stethoscope is much better, uit if you don't have one, this is making do. I know from experience.
Anyways, just puttin in my :nickel:

We gots teas. And teas. And teas. :rofl: From my salvage store & more.
Medicinal, herb & green of all sorts. :yes:
She's also had a plenty of gypsy cold care (peppermint/ginger) & immunity tea (not sure what all is in that one but it's yummy :rofl: ),
We gots throat coat, breathe easy, digestive teas...kombuchas, ginseng, a whole assortment of Twinings medicinals (6 boxes in all).
Her favorite is Egyptian Licorice but she's pretty doog at drinking any of them IF I add a bit of honey. :rofl:
She & I watched 2 movies this afternoon. :woe:
Ella Enchanted & Doolittle...Million Dollar Dogs or some such.
I'm exhausted!

:chuckle: yeah not surprised antigen tests are the least accurate AND by the time you noticed her symptoms her body was already fighting off the virus ... that's kinda the reason for hasing the vaccine :yes:
I'm not saying antigen tests are completely :carp: :nono: but they are close enough to identify the smell :whistle:
Anywho :slap: NO no more testing :naughty: IF you are going to git a PCR test then yeah sure that'll werk but rapid tests are mostly useless unless you are UNvaccinated AND showing symptoms. Also keep in mind ALL of the tests were made for covid original flavour, delta and other strains are similar enough to werk which is why the vaccines still werk ... mostly ... BUT there's a decent chance the variants will be less reliably tested for especially with nigh :carp: antigen tests :yes:
That said the "molecualr" tests are generally more accurate BUT still no one is sure how well they work with the Delta.
In any event there really are no other flu-like viruses moseying about in the US at this time so at best perchance it was a bacterial infection BUT even then the odds are against it. The thang is even a doog number of hopsickle infections that tested negative for covid were still in fact covid just the iinitial :carp: medical testing has made it to the consumer market.
Lastly vaccinated people should fight off covid quite rapidly making both antigen and molecular testing very difficult since the load level is heavily diminished, so unless the person isn't fighting the infection off or is only doing so slowly like an unvaccinated individual them tests wont show much :nono: so it's PCR or bust :boobs:
:huh: wow I did not noes you could feelz crackles in the lung though that would need to be purty serious pneumonia :sofa: Oh puleez I would neber drop my hand during a dance ... I got BIG hands I don't need tricks :siguie:
Anywho a stethoscope really is handy I has like 4 or 5 :yes: but they are all cheap ones usually collected when I help someone out of the hopsickle ... otherwise they'd be tossed with the room. At any rate it's a kinda creepy bubble wrap popping sound and once you hears it you'll not ferget :nono: it's quite distinct :yes:
Oh and another doog reason to has a stethoscope other than to read the sphygmomanometer is to listen for borborygmi that's the plural of borborygmus which are digestion sounds. Yes, you can hear how well someones is digesting doof :whatever: Also sphygmomanometers are the bestest and most accurate way to take a persons blood pressure :yes: ... ya noes aftera little practice AND those meters stay calibrated much better and longer :thumbs:
I'm not saying antigen tests are completely :carp: :nono: but they are close enough to identify the smell :whistle:
Anywho :slap: NO no more testing :naughty: IF you are going to git a PCR test then yeah sure that'll werk but rapid tests are mostly useless unless you are UNvaccinated AND showing symptoms. Also keep in mind ALL of the tests were made for covid original flavour, delta and other strains are similar enough to werk which is why the vaccines still werk ... mostly ...

Well...I am certain it was covid & :boyhowdy: the first day was just like her reaction to the vaccine. :faint:
With added snot. :hysterical:
We likely got exposed :boobs: as well.
So effectively she, & likely us, got another immunity :bump: :cheer:
And now I'll wait a couple weeks or so before the 3rd vaccine bulk up. :shera:
She is much much better today. :wiggle: A bit of congestion still but the fever remains gone, her eyes are clear, face is shiny & she's helping me plan to go :oz:
Going :oz: ...starting Monday I shall be cooking dinner for southern dinnertime which is noon. :yes:
So I can't wait til last minute to decide what we're eating. :laugh: Gotta make packable meals with tons of vegetables...curries, stir-fries, vegetable fried rice, pasta thingies....
Next week may be a bit :zanna: but we will adjust quickly. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:

Yeah, Sig, they aren't easy to feel iffin they are mid level. They are easier iffin they are in the costophrenic angles, which is the most common starting place in pneumonia. Agreed a stethoscope is SO much better to have on hand. But the good ones ain't cheap. Yup. Good for the belly sounds too. Because lack of sound is a sign something ain't right.
That licorice tea is awesome stuffs for the lungs, Asiel. :thumbs:
So, Sirhan was granted parole. Time and history fades, doesn't it? :om:
Ida is gearing up to Cat4 strength before the anticipated landfall. If Louisiana was feeling like they were in perdition before, they sure aren't going to be in a good place after Ida hits. :( Between the burgeoning covid numbers, and now this. :bawling: It's going to be beyond nightmarish....
We had a shoot out in our local cemetery. NYS trooper wounded but recovering. Suspect dead. It was quite the news. Honestly, it's been like this more and more. Gunshootings are a weekly thing here. It has just gotten worse and worse. Energy is :boom: around here.
Mayhap it's time to do the final letting go of this place. I just don't know if I'm ready or brave enough to go where the wind takes me yet.

Yeah purty sure you all got covided :horror: them tests are accurate when they show a Positive result but should even say if you have covid symptoms and the test is negative you should git a proper test. I mean srsly what's the point :roll: Oh yeah to prove yer not coviding and can continue to does yer boj masklos :woe:
Anywho no visiting momma durt or ZA for atleast 7 days after the last symptoms ... technically it's supposed to be 2 weeks quarantine but honestly vaccinated people seem to :buttkick: the thang in less than 5 daze usually 0 to 3 :dunno:
Breakthrough cases really are a thang to watch out for BUT without some more serious comorbidities there's really nuthin much to worry about 'cept spreading :sofa:

Honestly it depends I noes a bunch of medical peoplez and has gotted to test drive a lot of them thangs and there is a $20 Sprague Rappaport stethoscope {two separate lines instead of one split} which is really very doog :wub: otherwise I'd go for a Littmann cardiology scope ... they has shorter thicker tubes :thumbs:
Oh fer those who may not noes the two main thangs you should look for in a stethoscope for auscultation {the whole listening fer body sounds thang} are 1) sensitivity and 2) frequency filtering and response. In general all doog stethoscopes are tunable to some degree but the tubes used absorb some frequencies more than others and the shorter thicker cardiac scopes allow more and higher frequencies through :yes:
Anywho stethoscopes are chosen for the sounds they are most likely needed to diagnose so a doog overall is not that great for special ffuts and vice versa :angel:
Anywho the greatest design flaw of ALL the standard stethoscopes is they don't make them for siguie sized heads :bawling: they feel like they are pinching my :brain: So I'm waiting for the digital ones to drop in price :thumbs:
"So, Sirhan was granted parole. Time and history fades, doesn't it? :om: "
:huh: Wow that's a big surprise I would have :egg: pected the Kennedy fambily to um make sure that neber happens :nono:

And I says iffin you are feeling it's time to let go of a thing it's usually best to do it youself becuz if it's really 'time' then the Universe will does it for you. :buttkick:
Remembers how many times Zanna said she had to get off that Island? :hugs:
:b: tends to does that with jobs. :rofl: He seems to like the roughest changes. :woe:
Anyway...he & I both has symptoms. :sigh: Just mild sore throat & slight congestion.
He/we can't do anything today anyway. No tests on Sundays. Axshully, Tanasi has no covid on the weekends period. :nonono: :yes: :crazyeyes:
We will see how he is in the morning & he can 'try' to get a test at the health department.
I say 'try' cuz they are only doing it for 1 hour. :sigh:
They don't want us testing here. :nonono: They don't want us missing work. :nonono: And there's never been such a thing as true quarantining. :nonono:
Our UPS driver had Covid I & had to test negative before returning to work. He missed 4 weeks of work tho he said he could have gone back after 10 days. His wife is a teacher in McKenzie schools. She was told , "Come back to work as soon as you feel like it. No negative test required." :sigh:
He doesn't know what Dana's policy is as of yet. :nonono:
Neither of us really feels bad. Like an almost invisible cold.
Thing is..I see more & more professionals saying we're all gonna get Delta anyway. :sigh:
As always, it's about not overflowing the hopsickles. :sigh:
And the best way to does that is by being vaccinated. :yes:

I dunno. I been talkin' for years. Time to live in my car. Well, not the car exactly, but the car with a camper on the end. :thumbs:
Ida did touch as a Cat4. I'm not seeing a lot as it develops right now, but I don't think it's gonna be good. :uhoh:
I been stocking my frig for the week with quick grab stuffs. Potato salad, couscous, hummus and raw veggies, italian tomato salad... the list goes on. :liplick:
Heading for the fruit now. Strawberries, pineapple, peaches...still waiting on the musk melons. I don't think they'll be plentiful this year though.

IF it's not a too horrible inconvenience AND it's a PCR test then sure go git some of that psience luvin :yes: BUT Tanassi goes to such :egg: tremes to avoid admitting anyone has covid that I cannot see "confirmation" being any use whatsoever :nono:
I say unless he has a fever let him go to werk for the first day wearing a mask and sporting some hand sanitizer. The same reason vaccinated people do not test well on :carp: tests is the same reason they are much less likely to spread the disease. Symptoms are from your body fighting off the disease those symptoms are NOT an indicator of viral load which is what you need a lot of to spread the thang as well as test positive for it.
Can vaccinated people spread covid YES :yes: but it is much less likely AND wearing a mask protects others better than oneself ... unless he has a Fever fergettaboudit ... ya noes testing :yes: Also J ack i is the one that should be tested not :b: :nono: her PCR will be better AND less reporting issues and Dana wont be involved :oz:
Oh and iffen it makes you feelz any better J ack i at the peak of her symptoms tested negative for covid so perchance it's not covid :whistle:
:hysterical:
Anywho, not hasing a fever doesn't mean you are not infected BUT a fever is one of the first major symptoms of an infection and it's a strong indicator that your body is fighting something. When you no longer has a fever {and didn't take Ibuprofen or some fever reducer} yer body is basically done and just finishing up left over :blob:
Asymptomatic cases are sumthin else BUT hasing a fever then watching it subside is a doog sign :yes:
Ok enough of that ... yup Ida looks bad though atleast it wasn't cat.5 :horror: The storm damage is gonna be substantial but both Louisiana and Alabama are going to have a horrible time taking care of storm victims with their hopsickles at Full capacity + AND in another week or so all of those storm sheltering people who grouped together will likely have another unpleasant surprise with the Delta :horror:
Other bad news ... that whole "herd immunity" concept ... with original covid that would have happened at around 75% vaccinated PLUS recovered immune. With the Delta more than 1000 times more infective that number has to be larger :darn:
Anywho the CDC said covid was as infective as chickenpox which thankfully is a lie ... it's not :nono: it's roughly 70% as infective ... after some mathing for her immunity it looks like 85% to 90% vaccinated plus recovered immune to beat the Delta :sigh: In other wurdz vaccine alone wont werk and currently only about 10% of the population is recovered immune.
In other newses for $20 on an Amazon Flash or Lightning sale I gotted a ... Wall-Mounted Thermometer, SRHMX Thermometer for Adults Forehead Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Fever Alarm (https://amzn.to/3DrZi6G) <= Amazon Link
For $20 they are only slightly overpriced so I got one to put on my office door :siguie:
Srsly I has air filters going in there and I mostly don't let people in BUT iffen I has to they are gitting a temp reading first :club:
Anywho, it literally just arrived so I'm charging it now :happydance:
Car camping :woe: Unless you want to do boondocking living in a car especially now is a TERRIBLE idea ... just sayin ... The majority of thefts occur in/on motor homes and to car dwellers. Mostly by other car dwellers but also from the homeless backlash from many communities. I know here no one differentiated between homeless and RV tourists they are all just routinely hated for causing issues :whistle:
Also if "You" believe this is going to be a cold winter then stay put :thwack:
Oh and IF you want to leave I recommend going towards a global warming safe zone :yes: I'm thinking Duluth :angel:

Ok the new no touch thermometer is pretty freaken AWESOME :happydance: It takes less than 1 second to get the temp AND it werks from about 10 inches away. The 18650 battery is weak :unthumbs: so I replaced it with one of my doog ones :thumbs:The only real negative is the stoopid AI voice which sez temperature is normal or sumthin like it's engrish with a bad chinese accent and near as I can tell there is no OFF :gaah:

Oh sure "now" BUT iffen you believe in "climate change" and are intending to moove then the place you move to should be a "climate refuge" OR in other wurdz a place that global warming would make nice :angel:
Personally I like Colorado BUT in theory they would also has drought issues and I'm tired of the no water thang :gaah: Boston is a doog choice too but has a much higher cost of living. Based on investment choices as in the best purchase afores sellaging option Minnesota is one of the best and other than Colorado I was thinking Minneapolis BUT optimal investment would prolly be Duluth :yes:
Remember I'm a master of overthinking :carp: which has the benefit of making me a doog investor 8) So instead of just thinking about bugout options to the nearest hill I has plans including different states and even different countries :yes: Incidentally New Zealand is looking doog :thumbs:
Anywho whenever big thangs happen people moove and the places those people moove to are places that iffen you had chosen to buy early would now be turning profits. Also I'm not the only person thinkinbg like this :nono: just google climate refuge newses 'n ffuts and you can find thangs like this from CNN ...

We sick. :faint: He's still sleeping so I dunno what he's doing about work yet.
I'm sure he'll call for advisement. :yes:
i thunk I was fine & then at 2AM...BAM! Bad headache, runny nose, cough cough blow. :woe:
No fever tho. :nonono: And truly, I don't feel sick sick...you knows what I mean...my color is doog, Oxygen is 99-100% :chuckle:
B was snottier yesterday & at the beginning of last night so maybe his is better. Gonna let him sleep as long as he does just in case he goes in. As for masks...they are very strict about masks at work. :yes:
I still figure it came from that Fast Pace clinic on Tuesday. :yes: Jack just got hit harder & faster becuz 1) she's weaker & 2) Pfizer in January.
Omg tho...we drank a ton of CS yesterday (over a quart) & I drank half dozen different teas & lots & lots of water.
Then I made a delicious curry...with all those healing spices...
And still... :faint:

And not in outright defiance of your suggestion, sig, but becuz we had to :run: & Jacki :no: (freaked!)
B & I gotted PCR tested at the health department today.
He needed the test for work..and when the results are in they will reset his start date. :rofl:
Who'd a thunk it?
Boy oh boy this virus is driew tho.... I think it's gone & them BAM!, a sudden burning in the sinus area. Or an instantaneous runny nose after hours of being fine. Or a SUDDEN vice grip on the front & top of my head. :crazyeyes:
At this moment I'd say I'm 90% but I noes that can change in 30 minutes. :oz:
Oddly, tho they only do testing from 9:30-10:30 & we got thee about 9, we were the only car there. 2 Nurses under a carport twiddling their thumbs. :huh: Likely cuz nobody knows they are there. :nonono: I wasn't even gonna get tested iffin they were lined up
Cuz it doesn't matter. If he is positive we all are positive. :duh: But since they were so unbusy... I figured I'd give them something to do :chuckle:
Results as soon as tomorrow after noon, but could be up to 5 days due to backup in the lab. :woe:
In other newses...our DirectTv is showing a live New Orleans newscast. :wub: It is interesting to see their up close & personal coverage. :hearts:
Pandora...how much of that water is headed your way? :umbrella:
Looks like she's veering more easterly & gonna just sprinkle us on the way past, but I don't think we ever know which way the wind blows until it blows. :blowme:

Dang :horror:
Maybe it's not covid :hmm2: "Mild" symptoms are not uncommon but you ALL were vaccinated ... even with the Delta I would have :egg: pected mostly asymptomatic covid or sumthin purty close like a bit tired and or sniffles.
Is J ack i back to 100%? Because it makes sense that she would get ill the fastest or atleast show the symptoms BUT you ALL should have recovered at roughly the same time or her last :dunno:
Typically covid can hit anytime from 1-14 days after :egg: psoure but Delta seems to be faster and typically 1 to 5 days after :egg: posure. Most vaccinated individuals are "asymptomatic" which here might include people who have symptoms so mild that they don't realize they are sick. You cannot really get numbers for people who are :nigh: asymptomatic but as near as I can tell most vaccinated people just never show symptoms, those who do and are breakout cases appear to recover in 1 to 3 days with 5 days being about the longest for showing symptoms atleast without obvious comorbidities.
Anywho, I forget the date he went to that Fast Pace place but I noes the time frame is purty close ... what doesn't make sense is why J ack i showed symptoms first then recovered before anyone else showed symptoms :scratch: It sounds more like the :blob: was picked up at the Fast Pace but somehow was transferred to J ack i she then quickly contracted the disease and then passed it onto you two.
How immune systems werk and their speed as well as rate of viral spread can vary a lot BUT I'm just thinking this sounds like a case where covid was present on :b: like on his mask or jacket ... he remained uninfected but J ack i may have touched his mask/jacket and become infected and THEN started the process.
Just thinking, the point is this is where your light thang could be useful disinfecting masks and clothing after a dangerous spot was visited. It's also why I still UVC/Ozone blast mail deliveries and groceries :yes:
At any rate I'm glad :b: has the no joy option :thumbs:
Also Wow :eek: I'm kinda surprised :cs: isn't showing greater efficacy :hmm2: The thang about CS is that it only werks against the lysed viruses ... aka the ones flowing around your/his system and what makes the Delta so skeery :uhoh: Typically this means if you take a lot of cs ... you SUDDENLY feel better about an hour later then slowly go back to feeling bad as your body filters out the CS and new cells lyse spilling out more virus. It's actually one of the easiest ways to tell if a cold/flu is a virus or bacteria.
You might also want to try CS as a nasal spray since they might be hiding out in the nasal passage and neck. IF your lungs feel infected I would does the vapourizing thing too :yes: OK I would just because I can :bliss:
"So it's going on the outside of your office door?
So peoples can just walk by for a temperature :check: any time they feels like it?"
Sorta :yes: basically I'm keeping it just inside my office and anyone who enters gets their temp :check: ed afores they can git any closer :club:
I don't always want to wear my mask 'cuz it's hot I also has air movers and cleaners near me so iffen someone wants to annoy me in person they has to wear a mask AND afores getting any closer pass the temp :check:
Atleast that's the plan :yes: I'm gonna drop by dad's after werk ... and I might be giving him the thang iffen he wants it. Basically he has an Exergen no contact thermometer that I gave him but he has the hardest time with the one :button: design :wall: He's one of those people who is so worried he isn't doing something right he does thangs that guarantee it wont werk right :wall: like he never lets go of the button so the temp isn't "held" or he takes too long getting his temp which toggles the thang into memory recall or setup mode :woe: He then tries to fix eberythang by removing the battery which just forces the setup mode which he cannot handle 'cuz it's a single :button: :gaah:
Anywho I thunked heck with this thang just put yer head within 10 inches and :boom: yer temp is displayed :yes: Perchance no :button: and no contact devices are his forte :dunno:

:rofl: :b: struggles with the one :button: thingy too. :rofl:
So J ack i is not well. Still very snotty. And tired. And snotty. :laugh:
So he went to the germy place on Tuesday morning.
Then he came home & we all went to Walmart & Ruler in Martin.
On Wednesday morning we had breakfast with the family at Mom's.
On Thursday morning Jacki woke up sick.
On Friday night my throat kept kinda wanting to be sore. Not a lot, but enough to notice.
On Saturday B began to get snotty & tired. I was mostly fine I think. :laugh:
Today is my snottiest day. :crazyeyes:
Jacki is the only one who had a fever. None at all for either of us.
But all 3 of us are :blob: s
And yep, we dropped the ball at him not changing & showering after the germ sit-in.
But what's done is done now. Thankfully, Mom nor ZA nor Chloe or SIs & BIL...none of them are symptomatic.
We were likely not contagious yet.
You knows, I don't recall the last time (if ever) that all 3 of us have been sick at once. :grouphug:

Yeah ok that actually fits for it being Delta {or Lambda possibly} :yes:
J ack i showed symptoms first then you guys at day 4 or 5 which is consistent.
Most breakthrough cases "recover" quickly atleast from fever but average about 2 weeks to feel "normal" again even with mild covid :therethere:
The lingering effects are not necessarily related to viral loads but more likely whatever it is that covid does to effect the nervous system. Also for some people, even the mild cases can linger for many weeks ... these are referred to as cvid "long haulers" though the term was originally for the really bad slow to recover cases.
Prolly not time yet BUT once temperatures are normal and the :blob: iness starts to resolve the bestest medicine appears to be ... :ashamed: ... :egg: ercise :drama:
Yeah iffen ya had an oxygen concentrator that would prolly speed thangs up :yes: ... fer realz :angel:
Otherwise keep monitoring PulseOx and temperaturez ... while you all are almost certainly out of the woods there are still secondary infection issues especially in the Land-O-Durt :hippy:
Also be sure and tell us about the PCR tests :share:
IF it's not covid I'd prolly sez it's tanassi messing with the tests BUT more importantly IF there are other flu viruses out there it would almost certainly have to be in that southern covid area because most ebery other place in the whurled is masked and social distancing to the point that it's hard to imagine any flu virus getting past anyone. I mean srsly more infectious than Delta but not covid :faint:
Oh ask durt momma how she feelz "today" ... this would be 6 daze past a possible :egg: posure and a point where IF she has no temp or other symptoms would be quite reassuring :yes: Also ask iffen any of her other "pains" like her knee are acting up or worser than usual. This is a time when those annoying pains become useful 'cuz they SUDDENLY act up afores other thangs are noticed :yes:
In other newses it's 81°F :gaah:
Oh and Dad is using his seedling growth chamber to create a mat of watercress. It's his preferred :lettuce: for thangs like samwhiches 'n ffuts :yes: The idea is to just mow down what you need in one section so that by the time you finish the last section the first section is ready to harvest agin :yes:

Watercress has really doog nutritional properties but I cannot recall what. :scratch:
And yeah, as of yesterday Mom was still asymptomatic. :cheer:
And today... I feel quite lamron. :knockwood: Yesterday I was a waterfall from my eyes & nose. B was better, just tired & brain fog.
Oxygen is still high. No coughs for anybodies. No fevers neithers.
But I agree it has to be covid no matter the test results (which are behind). We has a website to :check: Aegis labs.
Becuz I has never had anything quite like it in all my life. :nonono:
Velly unusual.
And yeah...I been thinking how out of shape I is. :flex: :chuckle: :blob:

Yeah nutritionally it's gotta be better than iceberg :lettuce: but the thang about eating nutritious doof all of the times is do you really need ALL that nutrition? :dunno: It's like people who drink kale juice with ebery meal ... ya really cannot use that much of ebery nutrient even if it is healthy :dunno:
Anywho I'm purty sure he just likes the much milder spiciness plus a little crunch :yes:
"Brain Fog" that's kinda the thang that stands out ... lots of wierd mostly temporary neurological thangs happen with covid. Some people lose their sense of smell and taste {not so much for Delta}, some have :heart: palpatations 'n ffuts but mostly some type of :brain: :cloud: <= fog :yes:
Though to be fair that's pretty much any cold/flu when you are still real tired :coffee:
Yes, let us noes the result 'cuz I am curious :yes: Also PCR tests are almost too accurate and can detect that you HAD covid weeks after you have recovered. This is of course a stark contrast to those test kits which are only useful when you are in throes of the covid :woe:
Oh not to say the test kits are useless they aren't :nono: close :yes: but not quite ... basically the only clear results are Positive hits which are almost always correct. Negatives are very much more maybes :roll:
Also there is a conspiracy covering up the test kits accuracy 'cuz it's info that should be well known by now but it's literally being kept quiet :gaah:
Doog newses ... covid levels in the US look like they are leveling off :thumbs: bad news is next week is labour day :whistle:
Currently :sun: ny and 65°F which is warm but acceptable :angel:

:chuckle:
Ok honestly other than a bacterial infection I doubt there is really any other options. If the test was done in a federal facility I would trust it's not covid, if it's state owned it might be another push to avoid hasing to report any covid. Since that's kinda what tanassi does.
Personally I would take the covid clean moniker but avoid seeing durt momma or ZA for another week atleast. Atleast a week after eberyone recovers. If nothing else save them from getting something else :blob: like.

How comes both your parents is smater than you? :pie:
The faux sausages, if they be Beyond or Imposssible, are axshully quite doog. :yes:
Waaaaay better than real :scared: sausages.
So the problem with not seeing Mom is that my niece, Mallory & her bf Seth are coming from Ohio tonight.
Mallory gotted a covid test afore coming. Dunno bout Seth. :dunno:
And Mom wants us to come to dinner of Friday or Saturday. :wiggle:
I highly doubt we are contagious iffin we didn't has enough virus to test positive. :dunno:
Unless their tests are :carp: for Delta et al. :dunno:
Most importantly...I am back to 100%. OR as clost to 100 as I gets. :hysterical:
B said his throat was a tiny bit sore after him being 'well' yesterday. I says he overdone it yesterday, working in the heat on new deck steps.
And J is all fine except for healing fever blisters.
I wish they weren't coming now. :sigh: And then Mal, Seth & Chloe are going to Nashville on Sunday to meet up with a college friend & party with the masklos. :sigh: They be young & invincible. :sigh:
And that leveling off stat for US is :carp:
It's regional, not national. :nonono: And masklos, unvaccinated regions account for most of the stats now. :yes:
But I does feel Tanasi is peaking in this particular iteration & I see that Ohio is just beginning to pick up speed. :sigh: See above :sighs: :laugh: That last statement is part psyence & part 'feels'. :nana:
Regardless...energies is high still :wtf: :sofa: :fall: :bliss: :splat:

What? :huh:
Yeah, no we din't get any of it. :thumbs:
I was mowing that day, anticipating I wouldn't be able to mow for awhile, and I studied the wind currents over us. They were moving northeast. I knew then, that it was gonna hug the coastal areas, like NYC, NJ. Boy what a mess those poor folks are dealing with. :(
Dad cracks me up. He gets all worried, and calls. I was cooking, and thought "I'll call when I'm done." Then he texts me. Then he calls agins.
All this in the time it took to cook up a meal and sit down with it. :bsl:
Out and about today, and the energies were a bit calmer with peoples than they have been in a while. But very introverted.
On the large stage, it seems to be just the opposite though. :uhoh:

Momma durt was vaccinated so it shouldn't oughta be bad :nono: and :carp: knees don't count as comorbidities :nono: I was thinking more along the lines of what you has might not be covid :dunno: PCR tests are really purty doog and two coming back wrong is sadistically unlikely unless tanassi is really doesing a cover up :dunno: That said it's :egg: trordinarily unlikely another virus is lurking in the community that is even more infectious than delta. So perhaps it was sumthin bacterial :dunno:
Oh and "flu season" starts kinda end of October which is why flu shots are recommended in September and October. This of course means iffen you all had a non-covid virus then it was out of season {generally low chance} and somehow managed to git past social distancing, hand washing and masking which apparently even the Delta didn't :dunno: Seems kinda stretching it so perchance bacterial :blob:
Anywho, yeah stoopid is getting quite popular right now :yes: this labour day is gonna be inerestin and by labour day I mean in 7 to 10 daze after :oz:
According to John Hopkins tanassi virus testing is reporting roughly 27% positive which is skeery high :faint: Also Henry County is showing the highest positivity rate {35.6%} compared to neighbouring counties which are in the mid 20's. In fact the nearest higher rate is in Humphreys at 41.8% which is a freaken skeery number :faint:
Hmmm :hmm2: that gotted me thinking I think in addition to the booster Dad and I should both git the regular flu shot :yes: Back when we were all in lockdown and social distancing for realz the seasonal flu was basically :buttkick: ed but this year it might come back mean :blob:
Oh so I just :check: ed the seasonal flu databases and nationally for week 32 it's under 3% and that's mostly type A flu and a number so low it's barely considered "real". That said tanassi is one of the few "moderate" level states with Alabama being "High". Then there is Floriduh which is also "moderate" which to me suggests there is still some stoopid data tweaking going on :fist: anywho here (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm) is the map and ffutss.
Anywho here is the tanassi health flu info (https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/cedep-weeklyreports/flu_summary/ILI_Summary_202132.pdf) There is a slight blip but basically there is little to no real seasonal flu in your area :dunno:

Anywho, yeah stoopid is getting quite popular right now :yes: this labour day is gonna be inerestin and by labour day I mean in 7 to 10 daze after :oz:
According to John Hopkins tanassi virus testing is reporting roughly 27% positive which is skeery high :faint: Also Henry County is showing the highest positivity rate {35.6%} compared to neighbouring counties which are in the mid 20's. In fact the nearest higher rate is in Humphreys at 41.8% which is a freaken skeery number :faint:
Hmmm :hmm2: that gotted me thinking I think in addition to the booster Dad and I should both git the regular flu shot :yes: Back when we were all in lockdown and social distancing for realz the seasonal flu was basically :buttkick: ed but this year it might come back mean :blob:
Oh so I just :check: ed the seasonal flu databases and nationally for week 32 it's under 3% and that's mostly type A flu and a number so low it's barely considered "real". That said tanassi is one of the few "moderate" level states with Alabama being "High". Then there is Floriduh which is also "moderate" which to me suggests there is still some stoopid data tweaking going on :fist: anywho here (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm) is the map and ffutss.
Anywho here is the tanassi health flu info (https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/cedep-weeklyreports/flu_summary/ILI_Summary_202132.pdf) There is a slight blip but basically there is little to no real seasonal flu in your area :dunno:
:yawn: :coffee:
Dang you Thursdaze :fist:

Humphreys county is where Waverly is. Where the most recent flooding is. :sigh:
And I readed where Tanasi is #!! :cheer: Number 1 in most new cases per capita.
Also, if Tanasi was a country it would be #2 in the World! :cheer:
:sigh:
Masklosness rules idiocy! :faint:
Bacterial? :huh: Amambers J was the only one to ever spike a fever.
But ya know, iffin 30+% of peoples are testing positive then that means 70% of peoples gots somethin else.
Cuz virtually, there are no asymptomatic tests being done. :nonono:
:dunno:
I really feel we're past the contagion point anyway, no matter what it is. :yes:
B coulda gone to work yesterday but he/they decided to wait til Tuesday. Wisely, says I, so he can be 100% when he starts,.
Speaking of B....he just ordered Starlink! :cheer:
Or at least, he put a $99 deposit down as they say they are gonna be online for our lattitude between mid-summer & year's end.
Anyway...we'ze hasing a 'real' holiday weekend starting today. B gotted the deck rebuilt & new stairs....10' long (wide?) stairs on the back side. :) We needs a new charcoal grill & then later I wants a propane hibachi-type grill. :yes: Where I can stir fly all kinds of ffuts. :yes:

:woe: NO :buttkick: First "asymptomatic" doesn't mean what you apparently think it means :buttkick: and second srsly :woe: yer reasoning is based on the "false dichotomy" logical fallacy :buttkick: Stop using Inductive reasoning when you has plenty of evidence and data for Deductive reasoning :yes: In particular the bit where other than covid tanassi doesn't has enough other flu cases to accurately register anythin for the next flu season much less account for around 7,000 negative tests per day {tanassi is doesing about 10k tests per day}.
You 3 may has shared a transient virus aka one that is not endemic but rather brought by someone outside yer area, from an animule source OR more likely a bacterial :blob: from either durt, doof or both :yes: Bacterial infections can be bad but most are short lived and never really investigated and account for the majority of small very localized infections. Usually symptoms include tummy issues, diarrhea and fatigue, with the worser infections also leading to sore muskles and fever :yes: Keep in mind that pneumonia is most frequently bacterial and due to the pneumococcus bacteria which is a type of strep :angel:

Sweet yeah Starlink is gonna be BIG :thumbs: and I'd :egg: pect to werk very well where you is :egg: cept of course for the 100' issue :whistle: and by "issue" I of course mean the over abundance of :treehug: s surrounding yer home :wall:
I recommend downloading the app and using it to check for obstructions before putting a downpayment :yes: Oh wait ... you sez you already paid the 99 buckaroonies ... so you musta already :check: ed :yes:
:buttkick:
Yeah I noes you wouldn't :sigh: Srsly download the app and understand that the 100' cable is the total distance from where you has the inside box to the place you has the phased array antenna. The antenna also needs to be on a solid and stable platform like say an old or new tree stump AND it needs to has an unobstructed view of the Northern sky ... yeah Northern a lot of people think the antenna should point South but no it don't atleast not for the Northern hemispHere :nono:
Git the app :yes: :check: it out then make any necessary arboreal sacrifices to the satellite dogs :whistle:
:woe: and No :nonono: no propane hibachi :buttkick:
Propane burns too cool unless you pull more air thru like for a torch. The main reason gas grillz suck is they don't git hot enough :unthumbs: IF ya git a hibachi git the regular one where you can use charcoal or even better wood :thumbs: Alternatively for quick stir fryin git an outdoor wok burner :yes: They is mostly propane and if used on a wok they look like they werk great AND don't need to run all that long :nono:
Wok Burners (https://amzn.to/38HgHdw) <= Amazon link
For the most part you need/want a minimum of 20,000 BTU for doog wok cooking. You can git away with 15k BTU but IF yer gonna git sumthin specifically for a doog wok 20k BTU+ or you wont be happy :nono: personally I've been considering a 35k to 45k system :whistle: Higher up to 250k BTU is even betterer BUT after 50k BTU you better has yer wok skillz down or eberythang is coming out charcoal :oz: so baby steps even for me :angel:
Currently I'm leaning towards building my own by getting the burner and a wok ring and a bunch of cinder blocks and some fire :brick:
You might also want to play with a rocket stove :yes: done properly they git a fair bit hotter than a propane grill AND are nearly free to make and use :thumbs:

The wok burner looks like the thingy my :papa: used for frying fish...or making big soups... outdoors. :yes:
But I wanted a larger cook surface. :sigh: Just like a restaurant hibachi chef, except without the fancy tricks & corny jokes. :chuckle:
I'm in no hurry for anything. :wiggle:
Is c12 the one known as Mu? Cuz I read about that one. :eek:
So you is aware that there is an elevated number of kids with RSV in hopsickles around here?
Nobody quite knows why as it's 'out of season'.
And Chloe says, "Everybody at work has a cold". :huh: She says they've all been tested & it's just a cold. :dunno:

I am back to 100% :shera:
Jacki is at 90% though she is dealing with at least 7 fever blisters (virus!)
B is prolly 80%. :sigh: He still has gunk in his head.
And does this PCR test cover all the known variants?
So here's a new one...what knows you about 3rd shot side effects?
Supposedly (big supposedly becuz she tells one person 1 thing and another person another) my Mom's cousin (77) 7 husband gotted their 3rd Moderna shot & she says she was delirious for 2 days.

So she's got Mom & ZA :uhoh:
But she is known for streeeeetching truth beyond all recognizable forms.
Delirium is not a side effect I've yet heard of. :huh:
I read that 3rd Pfizer shots in Israel had minimal side effects.

North facing satellite??? Our Dish & DIrectTV satellites face south.
We has 2 on top of the house. :yes: And the bracket of a 3rd dish. :chuckle:
If you recalls...we had Dish internets many :fullmoon: s ago.
IT was slow & sucky & had limited 'highspeed'.
Then we had the mifi thingy from Verizon. :yes:
So a cool thing about DirectTV is that if you turn on a moobie or anything that's already in progress..
IF you are connected to the internets you can start that program from the beginning. :yes:

Oh iffen you want a hibachi git a hibachi they are purty cheap and you got the space for it :thumbs: I'm generally against propane grills 'cuz they heat about the same as a stove/oven and produce a more humid cooking environment which is really only an advantage for ffuts like bread.
Charcoal or wood adds additional flavours :liplick:
As for the Burners ... they are all quite different and minor alterations can make a huge difference :yes: The two main areas of departure are flame area and flame temperature PLUS the total BTU's being put out. The area being heated depends on the jet openings and directions but the temperature depends on the amount of air mixed in with the gas afores it ignites. The shape of the heating well and the total BTU's being produced is what makes it appropriate for one task vs another.
Anywho for me, I likes the idea of hasing a jet engine to cook on :yes: not only can I git a real wok 'n play with wok techniques BUT I can also invert the thang to create a kitchen {or deck} salamander THEN there's the possibility of creating an infrared side roaster :bliss:
But ya noes a propane hibachi is fine :drama:
Though you may wanna take a look at Korean Stove Top Grill Pans (https://amzn.to/3BKR8Vs) <= Amazon Link :oz:
I went through a lot of the cheap ones and I prolly still has 2 or 3 unused one :scratch: I picked up like 10 at a salvation army store :yesss: unfortunately they all has the stoopid teflon coating which burns after a while so they are only doog for about a month. I would go for the Iwatani or something with a solid not teflonated surface like the Colibrox ... I haven't tried either of these yet :nono: BUT they interests me :yes:
Oh these thangs are best for entertaining while cooking at the table OR grilling quick ffuts like fish, tofu, eggplant etc. they really does taste better this way than skillet fried :yes:
Oh and then of course there's always just a cast iron grill skillet or grill top :thumbs:
Oh no Mu is from Colombia and is the B.1.621 variant which has been a variant of interest for a while now, c12 is from South Africa and happens to be one reason why I went with the J&J vaccine :yes:
Way back in April the C.1.2 looked like the variant with the best chance to become the dominant secondary strain. In many ways it's like the Delta :yes: but instead of generating a massive viral load the c12 is over a thousand times more infective. In other wurdz Delta produces 1000+ more replicas of itself than original covid. However, c12 produces the same number of viri BUT each one is 1000+ times more likely to infect someone aka less is needed to spread. Also c12 looks more antibody resistant 'cuz the "spikes" are more tweaked and THAT's why I went with J&J 'cuz I nude it would werk atleast better than 50% AND it werked against covid original flavour :oz: Oh and it wasn't so much specifically C.1.2 there are actually many variants from South Africa and that's where J&J gotted tested :oz:
K I dunno what to sez about RSV :dunno: generally it's always around and sure perchance you is all just unusually susceptible but that's not the thang going around :nono: Whatever colds people have in tanassi is either covid or sumthing not yet identified 'cuz there is no identified respiratory viruses in your area other than covid. However, it is possible that tanassi just isn't looking BUT unless it's a huge spike that just started in the last 2 weeks maybe it's just a bacteria or sumthin :dunno: {it takes 2 weeks for things to git updated}.
"So maybe Tanasi is just a swimmin with virii of all kinds? :huh: "
That's true :yes: but it's true for everywhere :yes: Viruses, :mushrooms: bacterial :blob: s are eberywhere just sumplacez has more of the bad ones 'cuz of durt :hippy: no doubt :yes:

"And does this PCR test cover all the known variants?"
Yes :yes: but there are a slew of qualifiers. Done properly it's in the even higher 99%+ accuracy :faint:
The problems are it's so accurate you may test positive because the swab picked up some random covid even when you were not infected, also you can test positive if you were infected but recovered days possibly weeks afore :yes: The other issue is it's NOT an easy :peas: y test and requires time and skill by trained peplez AND often the peoplez doesing them are trained monkeys 'cuz there are not enough trained peoplez to does the magnitude that is being requested :sigh: This is why I always sez "done properly".
To be fair I'm surprised :b: didn't test positive just because he was all out and about in a sea of covidity :uhoh:
That said the Bestest test for people if they think they HAS the covid is the antibody test :yes:
Ya see J ack i with the early onset and then in recovery mode woulda :bean: the perfect guinea pig subject :yes: Definitely had sumthin AND recovering would suggest high antibody production so one test and a very clear and definitive Yes or No :angel:
PCR tests are more precise and Yes they can detect all major covid variants so far BUT each variant means there is a change and PCR may or may not be as accurate but more importantly the lab techs running the tests may or may not be awarez. So more precise Yes more accurate :dunno:
IF a PCR tests positive a certain number in a region go in for genetic analysis to check for variant types and any additional mutations :blob: The problem I have with tanassi is that IF a mutation did occur that made the PCR test fail you would not noes 'cuz negative test results are not further studied :nono:
This does NOT mean your PCR tests are wrong :nono: it just means I Do NOT trust whatever it is tanassi is doesing.

Basically yer on yer own and I am very glad you are ALL vaccinated :yes: That alone means you and durt momma along with the rest of yer durt kin are almost certainly gonna be fine :thumbs: The rest of tanassi not so muches :nono:
Srsly this is not DishNetwerk or whatever you are used to :nono: Do NOT make assumptions :buttkick: Just download the app and :check: :yes:
Basically you need a 100° cone unobstructed "Field of View" towards the north. Ideally the Starlink antenna should be the tallest thang but if not 100° cone aimed north angled up at what I recall was 53° but that may have changed.

The point is if your central vision seez clear sky from the point yer 100 feetz can reach then there wont be a problem :nono:
The better the view with the leastest of objects overlapping the betterer the signal will be :yes:
Also keep in mind the 100 feetz is the instructions for :rbrain: types :therethere:
In actual fact you should use the shortest possible length to minimize transmission signal loss. What this means is that iffen yer trees are not too dense it might be better to aim the antenna through them instead of using a looong cable to git around them. This of course means that as soon as it rains and the branches git wet yer signal strength will drop BUT the point is you want the highest possible signal strength period. The Starlink instructions are directed towards that end ... maybe you don't need to shave the trees down to durt levelz :nono: perchance you just need to raise the antenna a few feetz :dunno: It all depends on signal strength :yes: but FYI pointing the antenna the opposite direction prolly not a doog idea :nono:
"Eeerbody knows it's the contamination in the soil that doesez the killingz. :duh: "
Like I said it's the durt :yes: it contains viruses, :mushrooms: bacteria galore :blob: not to mention just about ebery deadly particle size espeeshully PM2.5 :no:
Yeah I needz a small cast iron hibachi :wubsigh: my current grill is too big and takes too much fuel for just a few quick steaks 'n ffuts :sigh: Unfortunately I melted Kakyū my old hibachi :bawling: {Kakyū is Japanese for "Fireball" like Alton Browns grill} :angel:
Today is tourist season :guns: srsly they is eberywhere and it's not eben tomorrow yet :fist:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
Nuh uh :nono: it's to where the digital box will live in chateau durt which includes any twists 'n turns :wheee: to git to that spot :yes:
"I watched a video made by a grizzly guy who lived in the middle of the woods in the PNW.
He cut a couple trees, but the 'hole' in the woods where his satellite was mounted was not very wide. :nonono: "
The hole does not need to be wide to git a signal :nono: it needs to be wide to maintain a "continuous" signal :yes: Um did you look at any of the Starlink setup info or requirements? :whistle: 'cuz North facing sky and visible cone angle and arc are part of the :check: these afores ordering instructions ... just sayin :whistle:
It's hard to beat a thousand gigitygigity bits per second optikal interweb connection BUT I kinda wanted Star link if nuthin else atleast as an AT&T backup option :yes: Otherwise my only alternative is Comcast and I hate them :buttkick: :unthumbs:
Anywho 100° cone at a 53° angle North will gives you an idea of what you need. If you are wunderin how to estimate that put one arm out horisontally in a Northern direction and one arm up vertically. Now lookup at the bisection of that angle and that's 45° so just a skooch higer but yer in the zone :yes: Now close your left eye {unless yer left handed} look straight ahead with the right at that angle and ... hopefully you see clear sky.

Axshully....we been furnishing the new deck....as well as getting ready for new boj today. :wiggle:
Today shall be like a Thurzdaze cuz he has to leave at 10:30...likely won't be home til 1 or 2AM. :dunno:
He hasta does HR ffutses first.
Thanks for the Starlink how-to. I will :check: it out today. :righton:
I didn't do any of the research or pre-ordering ffuts. :nonono: I noes nothing. :laugh:
I saw a headline that said the CDC recommends anyone that was in a crowd of peoples this past weekend oughta get tested. :yes:
We went shopping....3 days in a row. :chuckle: Not all-day shopping. :p But there were very few peoples out. :wiggle:
They was all at a lake somewheres. Or boating or camping or horseback riding. That's Labor Day weekend in the South.

Decking out the deck :check:
I figured you was all gittin ffuts ready for :b: s start day :yes:
On the plus side running the late show :rimshot: is generally a lot easier on the commuting and werks out purty well :yes: So I hope he has a doog first day/night/evening thang :beerme:
"I didn't do any of the research or pre-ordering ffuts. :nonono: I noes nothing. :laugh: "
Oh wow who woulda thunked :whistle:
Yeah Labour Day in the south might has people playing in the lakes but here they was all on my beach :fist: But that's fine it was way too hot for me to venture out :uhoh:
As for covid I noticed the hopsickles are no longer saying 99% are unvaccinated they have changed to saying thangs like 100% are unvaccinated and 1 or 2 breakthrough cases are in the hopsickles for non-covid related illnesses. Also the number of antivaxxers openly changing their view is spiking though unfortunately that :bump: is coming along with a large number of hopsikilizations and deaths :sigh:
Though one bright side is I very likely nailed the predicted numbers :thumbs:

Remind me of your predicted numbers? :pie:
It's bad. :sigh: 1 in 78 Tanasians now has an active case of covid according to the Tennesseean (Nashville paper).
Of courses, we noes that does not account for all the untested peoples who just has 'the sniffles'.
And yeah the traffic night thingy is a real bonus. :righton:
He travels a 2 lane highway through a swamp & 3 tiny towns with angry traffic cops :chuckle:
It's the same road many who work in Jackson drive so at lamron 'rush hours' it can be a steady stream of cars an if you get a Buddy (40 in a 55) then you are stuck there. But at off hours you can easily be the only car on the road. :cheer:
But he gotted home at 6 yesterday. :rofl: Had to leave at 4:45 AM. :woe:
Doog thing he hadn't been doing any kind of night shift acclimating. :chuckle:
He may spend a week (or 2) on days to learn the ropes.
But when he does :oz: the nightshift hours are 2-10:30. :cheer: He will likely work more like 1-11:30ish but still...way betterer than working til 2 or 3AM or the dreaded graveyard. :yes:
There was a 7.0 :quake: near Acapulco. :gheart:
And still a lotta increased tensions... :wtf:
Tomorrow is 9/9...then we gots 9/11, the 20th anniversary nonetheless.

"Remind me of your predicted numbers? :pie: "
Between 150 and 200k by the end of September :yes:
Though the actual number based on math and a linear regression of 5 different siguie models is 186k that's cases per day and on September 20 'cuz that's 2 weeks after Labour Day :angel:
Yeah my commute is just 40 miles 80 round trip but takes anywhere from 1 to 8 hours during regular timez but off hours and 35 minutes :yesss:
The furst month of a new boj is always walking the learning curve :thumbs:
Yeah that's the c12 I mentioned earlier ... and no one listened to :hmm:
It's not so much a "new" variant as much as a new variant on the greatest hits covid album aka "variants of interest" it's also a multi mutant combo with the bestest mutations of the other South African mutants :blob: It's why I went with the J&J vaccine ... it was tested in South Africa and werks against each mutant atleast individually :yes: So I figures with a Moderna booster I'm Golden with the best of all whurldz :angel:
This is also why I recommended J&J as a booster for J ack i iffen available PLUS less likely to has worserer side effects :oz:

Sig I'd say your model is pretty accurate. According to the stats I follow:
9/8 USA #1 Globally with 157,759 daily new cases.
Germany #10 Globally with 14, 863 daily new cases.
Global Total: 607,513 daily new cases
9/8(daily new cases) #1 TX -22, 796
#2 FL- 13, 774
#3 CA-11,620
#6 TN- 5,422
#7 NY- 5,089
36 states reported 1k+ daily new cases.
On this date in 2020, reported daily new cases were 28,857 in the USA.
It appears that pediatric cases are increasing at a troubling pace. (This with school starting up.)
Although June was a great month for numbers, cases steadily increased daily starting in July, and the peak looks a lot like it did in Nov. of last year.
The latest varient- MU is not really raising the same alarms that Delta has. But this variant has landed in the USA. It seems to be more efficient in evading natural immunities and vaccines. But, it doesn't appear to have the same viral load, and in fact aside from South America, it appears to be decreasing in other parts of the world.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/07/mu-covid-variant-who-says-delta-remains-most-concerning.html
On other things- More rain, not much more sun, a bunch of tomatos that I'm window ripening to avoid blight. Zucchini is definitely dead for the year with only 4 yield; worst ever. Bell pepper plant is gorgeous, but just starting to fruit, so I am betting frost will take it down before I have a chance to get anything from it. Beans may or may not manage a 2nd yield with just enough for 2 servings. Cukes? I think 3, and likely no more. What a bust this harvest season has been. :sigh:
Folks have been bat scat crazy here over the last week or so. Tensions running high.
Meanwhile, I'm deep cleaning my kitchen, and getting ready for fall/winter. So off I go to be a good little scouring maid. :wink:

Yeah I wasn't that sure I'd be in the right area this time since I've never had to factor in vaccines afores :scratch:
BUT it looks like thangs move along in the same way ... I just used vaccine percentages to lower population densities 8)
Anywho air travel generates :popcorn: infections which is basically a shotgun scatter pattern of infections around airports with BIG ones creating larger areas of effect ... presumably because people who use small airports are more local :dunno: But the main factor still seems to be interstates :yes: Like the way Interstate 10 links Floriduh to Texas and all those other high covid states in the south. OK Georgia is an outlier but the international Airport in Atlanta is a doog asplination :whistle:
Oh and interstates move a lot of doogs with truckers who are um known for their sanitary habits :whistle: and these people infect the warehouse peoplez and then thangs spread out from there :yes:
Now that said yes KalipHorniyaz does has one of the highest numberz overall BUT we also has over 10% of the US population :gaah:
Normalized to a covid cases per 100k KalipHorniya is actually one of the Bestest states and iffen ya looks at Norethern vs Southern Kali yeah then we rock :headbang:
With respect to the cases per 100k places like tanassi are 4 times worser and that's using the available tanassi data which is highly massaged :roll: and very much under reported :whistle:
Oh and yeah kidz are being hopsickilized left and right now ... sending them back to school unvaccinated is just genius level stoopid :woe:
I thought the FDA thang would open up vaccines for kidz 'cuz even if they don't need an ICU they are going to be infected and then infect anyone at home who is unvaccinated :gaah: This annoys me to no end 'cuz I have no idea how to model that kinda thang :wall:
That and of course more kids are going into ICU's then ever before :uhoh:
Oh and I strongly encourage people to git their Seasonal Flu Shot AFTER they git the booster :yes: Again mostly because I cannot model that one in any reasonable way :dunno: :asiel: mentioned RSV and yeah it's particularly bad for no doog reason that I can come up with so if other "normal" viruses follow suit :sofa:
All that said the doog newses is that the US is getting just above the 60% mark with another 10% hasing atleast one dose :thumbs: This means in another 7 to 14 days the US should be in the 70% zone. Realistically there is 25% of the population who cannot or will not git the vaccine.
At the 70%+ mark and adding in recovered immune numbers we will either be at the herd immunity level or just waiting a little bit longer for the covid to burn through the remaining unvaccinated :sofa:
It sounds mean BUT at that point covid should be over :gstars: AND it shouldn't take too much longer :nono: Though if a new variant emerges all bets are off :ashamed:
Oh and yeah I'm not sure what to say about kids 12 and under other than they really should be vaccinated ... otherwise that's another 25 million people who will likely quickly become infected resulting in 500k hopsikilizations and 75k severe cases which ma include death ... it's still not clear what the 12 and under mortality rate is :dunno:

Early on I got used to just observing the raw data. Ya know....the KISS rule. :bsl:
Totally agree that reliability in reporting, population density, etc. are crucial to a more accurate model. :yes:
The kids. I saw that coming. We have little kids under 12 that can't be vaccinated yet and are loose cannons when it comes to distancing, washing hands, etc. Now we are crowding them into school rooms with little or no protocols in place. :gaah: It's definitely a Stephen King kinda circus.

He has no clue what the reason is but in addition to the fava bean plant he has his own proprietary nutrient mix :hmm: AND he waters them with dehumidifier harvested water :angel: He really likes that water 'cuz it can support more dissolved nutrients :oz:
Of course he needz so much water now he leaves the window open during the day :woe: fortunately he has solar so it offsets the cost of :electrocute:
You should moove towards self watering inside pHarming :yes:

Good companions make happy plants! :happydance: :tomato:
My summer harvests were low as well. :dunno:
The :tomato: s got little attention cuz well...we ain't apposta eat them. :chuckle:
The zukes busted like Pan's. Yellow squashes, too.
When I 'tried' to figger out why I got "low pollination" which absolutely is not the case as 2 active bee hives are
less than 100' from the garden ffuts. Also, lots & lots of other pollinators here.
It's years like this I am so very thankful that the difference between starving & not is not dependent on my garden! :woe:
So yeah... J & I went to Kroger yesterday. 80-90% masked. And today Kroger is requiring masks for ALL associates & customers.
But more notably, everybody knows somebody who is sick now. :faint: And peoples are talking about the pandemic in public... not ignoring it & hoping it goes away.
Remember the first nursery owners? The one who continuously made smart :butt: remarks about :b: wearing masks?
The one who believed the entire thing was :bs: ?
Well they had a Mexican couple who did most all the work for them for 20 years...Mario & Mercedes.
Mercedes died. :candle: From covid. I'd guess they were in their mid 40s.
Also my cousin's husband is quite sick. At home alone as he sent her & their 2 year old to her mom's house. :sigh:
And another cousin's kids & grandkids are ALL sick. 5 of them. So far so good & at home.
AND...another cousin's mil needed a hospital yesterday dues to hypertension & known heart problems ( she's also obese & diabetic...and smokes :sigh: ). Guess what? No hospital rooms. :sigh: Last I heard they were calling Nashville & then Memphis as all the regionals were overflowed.
For the record that's 3 cousins' fambilies. I only has 5 cousins that lives here.
Yeah...Delta's got everybody's attention now.
In good newses I read that Beta is officially extinct. Never really got to know him. :chuckle:
And Alpha is near extinct. :bye:
And that 25% refusal rate is nationwide. If broken down by region we'd be abysmal here.
Tho...cousin who is real sick right now WAS a refuser. He's also a gun hoarder & ready-for-revolution kinda guy.
But amazingly he gotted his first vaccine just over a week ago. His wife is scheduled to get hers today.
Point is...even refusers change their minds when enough peoples in their orbit gets sick. :sigh:
The booster/3rd dose roll out is falling off the rails. :crazyeyes: So much confusion.
And so many just doing whatever they want cuz, well....you can.
I read that there is no national vaccine database. :sigh: And I found J & J vaccines available at a local pharmacy. :yes:
I can sign J up online...they ask how many doses you had before & when but not type nor anything else.
OR... I can get her a 3rd dose of Pfizer in Jackson. Or Moderna most anywhere.
Vaccines are readily available and pharmacies don't ask questions or care, they just shoot you. :chuckle:
She & Mom will do whatever I say (& they both want boosted :laugh: ) but I'm not sure what I say?
What youses say I say?
:bsl:
In other newses....
:horn: ENERGIES ARE REAL HIGH!!! Yesterday I had a new :moon: buzz :bliss: All day long til I :splat: ted into bed & slept nearly 12 hours. :ashamed: :rofl:

Yeah but this year your area is closest to "normal" weather and you shoulda has a :bump: er crop in just about anything not a winter vegetation :yes: The rest of the country is either in :egg: treme drought like us or being flooded or frozed :shiver: so the pHarm yields are going to be low eberywhere :uhoh: That means you are gonna wanna be growding yer own vegetatin iffen possible or using yer preserved and frozed doof reserves :oz:
Srsly with a few trillion pre-injected into the economy this is gonna be a big hard to stop boulder once it gits moobing ... and yes many people wil think that's a doog thang BUT shortages of key components and required for living ffuts like vegetation ... well that's gonna make those thangs real :egg: pensive :faint: and inflationary :frantic:
More interestingly why does everyplace seem to be reporting low yields :uhoh: I think it has to does with the :sun: :yes: and it being the solar minimum 'n all :uhoh: Classically the old pHarmerz Almanac suggests this is when a mini ice age will begin :no:
Yeah Biden finally made vaccine shots mandatory :cheer: and mask mandates are a thang agin :ura: :yesss:
Anywho some people learn best by just being informed others learn by :egg: perience :sofa: Of course the fact that the republican party is loosing ~3000 voters a day to death by covid is another motivating factor :whistle:
At any rate the thang to does now is just allow antivaxxerz an honourable way out 'cuz even though it is tempting to point out we are right agin :woohoo: if the most reluctant people get a vaccine, not only are they saving themselves but those around them AND helping to prevent further mutations :blob:
Um ya noes I am not aware of anyone who has gotten covid :scratch: Even my cousins in England are fine :yes: I noes people who gotted :egg: posed and quarantined but basically Pan, :michafire: prolly :tazz: and perchance you all culinary wastelanders and that's it :oz:
As for what I thinxz ... yeah it's really up to you ... some studies show Moderna produces twice the antibodies compared to Pfizer and then there's J&J which was the only vaccine tested in South Africa and is a classic vaccine as opposed to the new mRNA type. ALL has side effects some quite serious but all are very very rare.
The J&J is less effective against the Delta variant but ALL of the vaccines are in the very high 90's at keeping people out of the hopsickle for atleast 8 months. There is some suggestion that J&J has longer term protection though not necessarily as rapid as antibodies being present AND it was proven effective in a very bad area against many more variants.
For J ack i it's a tough call her response to the Pfizer vaccine will produce the largest number of antibodies BUT may or may not result in more severe side effects :dunno:
Moderna is just a really doog vaccine :thumbs: BUT may has similar side effects as the Pfizer ... my guess is prolly less and will be similar and more antibodies.
J&J is the outlier ... it would be like a second overall vaccine since it's a one shot deal. It may induce more or worse side effects since it's a whole new dose of vaccine with covid like bits which her body will recognize and fight off perhaps very strongly since she had the Pfizer jab :guns:
IF her Pfizer side effects were worser after the 2nd shot and quite severe as I amemberz ... I'd go with the Moderna ... it may has a similar side effect but prolly will be less and currently Moderna is just the bestest vaccine even after just one dose :yes:
I do like the J&J because of its robust testing AND I'm purty sure she has no known :heart: issues and atleast at first glance there are some benefits to mixing vaccines BUT so far there is no data to give you a definitive which is best for boosting solly :dunno:

This is the sentence that stuck out. Red flag, red flag, red flag. :chuckle:
So yeah, maybe Moderna and for Mom as well (she had Moderna to start with).
Just from hearsay (a couple kin) Moderna 3rd jabs seemed to has pretty rough side effects though whereas I read that Pfizer 3rd jabs in Israel reported minimal, if any, side effects. :dunno: J ack i is fine with another 1 day faux flu tho.
She really, really wants a booster. :faint: She's pushing me to figger it out. :woe:
As for :sun: ... :dunno: My cucumbers were prolific. Green beans, too. The :tomato: s just gotted too hot (they'ze all in the Dance Hall)
& I really believe I just had :carp: seeds for zukes & squash. They were new-to-me varieties. And we are still eating on year-old green onions. :yes:
Elsewise...I can now grow greens year-round, inside & out! :happydance:
And my flowers... :wubsigh: Absofreakinlutely amazing this year! :happydance:
At present moment the celosias & giant marigolds have taken over the Dance Hall. :frantic:
It's a beautiful mess!! :laugh: And won't be very difficult to clean up.
I has a Mexican sunflower that is 10 feet tall! :faint: And it's in mostly shade! :huh:
The zinnia blossoms are abundant, the knockouts haven't stopped knocking out & many things (dianthus, phlox) are budding for their farewell party. :wub: Oh & the Rose of Sharon had been so prolific...and so ginormous...but finally has slowed down enough that I can prune it back without crying. :laugh:
But the Medicine Wheel is awash with hummingbird vine. :wub: It's frilly, fragrant, flowing all over everywhere, including running up baby Buddha like a sash. :happydance:
But for reals...the potted as well as the planted flowering ffuts has overperformed this year which kinda flies in the face of any kind of solar disturbance. :dunno:
It's 9/11 guys. :candle:
I'm not a big fan of collective memorializing. :sigh: I noes for some it is necessary, but I feels that for many it can just serve to bring them down. :splat:
I'm not a big fan of remembering death. :nonono: Every August my sis & girls remember the day that :papa: died & make a todo about it. I prefer to remember him every day & iffin there needs to be an annual celebration then I choose to do it on his birthday.
Celebrate life, not death.
But anyway...that's my mini rant for the day.
I am going to plant seeds today. :flower: :b: is working today & tomorrow. :chuckle: Then next week he works 10-6 so as to be there on both shifts. He's off next weekend then starts nights the following week. :wiggle:

Well it's not like the :sun: changes that much but the small changes are what have dramatic weather effects so I'm not talking "light" as much as more wet or dry AND :cloud: y daze which looks to be the case on the East side of the US aka more :cloud: y daze than usual :whistle:
As for Boosters it looks like only Pfizer will be ready by Sept.20 so not many choices there. A few weeks later ... prolly ... Moderna will be in :bump: mode. J&J on the other hand is only available as a single dose FULL fledged vaccine :flex:
Here's the thang Moderna and Pfizer are both looking to call one regular shot a "Booster". What is being researched is if that is a doogly amount ... perhaps a half shot {1/4 Full dose} will has the same :bump: with fewer side effects ... :idunno:
J&J on the other hand doesn't have boosters set BUT they have shown a 2nd shot is beneficial {based on antibody count} AND boosts antibody levels by more than 9 times the original shot max ... which sounds great :happydance: ... but honestly a second :egg: posure to anything the body recognizes as sumthin that needz killin does the same thang.
My very unhelpful thoughts ... I don't trust any reports that sez a 3rd shot has few or fewer side effects :nonono: ALL side effects are from your bodies immune reaction. Unless yer immune system has become desensitized to an antigen it's response should be similar OR stronger. As in this is why the 2nd jab had more side effects :yes:
A reason for mixing and matching vaccines is to augment ones immune response without overwhelming the body :yes: As in here is a little of what you noes how to deal with so you can :bump: up the antibody count BUT oh look here is some similar but different ffuts that you can learn to killz :angel: This protocol :bump: s the antibody count AND gives a slightly wider net that can handle more variants betterer.
Ya see THAT is why I wanted to has a whole collection of vaccines :yes: Each is slightly different which would :egg: tend the immune possibilities to more variants than any single vaccine AND together they'd make me :superman: against covid original flavour ... ya noes that or put me in bed with :egg: treme side effects :whistle:
Like I've mentioned afores there are 3 main parts to immunity against flu like viruses and antibodies is just one part. J&J showed that the "memory" to create new antibodies is stored doog 'n well the way they is supposed to be SO ... all any covid vaccine needz to does is :bump: antibody count to ward off new infections AND any vaccine can does that ... well the ones in the US anyways :whistle:
Srsly hasing antibodies floating around yer body is almost identical to being treated with monoclonal antibodies for coovid :yes: It only werks in the early stages of a covid infection BUT it is very very effective :yes: The problem is that like monoclonal antibodies treatments antibodies Do NOT hang around indefinitely in fact 3 months and they are on their way out :bye:
So if I'm gonna git a booster :bump: I noes any vaccine will werk for the antibodies :yes: the question is which has the fewest downsides and how can I maximize the upsides :angel:

I was :egg: pecting a doog :bump: and Labour Day was on the 6th, most Delta victims git sick in less than 5 days but most people wait it out for 5 to 8 days afores going to the hopsickle so the main :bump: should have been on or around the 16th but about a week after labour day and I was :egg: pectin to see the "beginning" of a :bump: 'cuz afores most places were on the decline but nope it's a vertical jump straight up of like 60k+ :faint:

Holy :carp: You said the "w" word! :woe:
And you was 'bad wrong in that it is worserer than you deduced. :p
I still believe breakthroughs are more of a thing than admitted as I still believe that we all had Delta as well, regardless of the test results.
So more breakthroughs mean more cases possible. :faint: AND...fewer precautions mean more cases.
More peoples are done with the pandemic whether the pandemic is done with us or not. :woe:
My own mother...Thursday is her birthday & she wants us all to go to Jackson. :wtf: A girls day. :wiggle:
But she says to me..."Would you be afraid for us to go to that big Chinese BUFFET?" :huh:
Bad cop (me) says, "Well... I think I read that they were serving at one time. Let me check if they still are."
I checked. No serving, back to buffet. But you does hafta wear a mask when not seated. :crazyeyes:
I think we're going to dine outdoors at a Mexican restaurant. :chuckle:
So thanks :righton: I'd pretty much decided that Pfizer was the monster I know rather than risking the monster I doesn't know. :chuckle:
I axshully believe Jack has a pretty robust immune system, it's just 'different'. Like most things about her. :crazyeyes:
Remember me talking about her reactions to medications...very very different. And numerous ICU experiences have been becuz of medications. The 2 times she was on a ventilator (5 weeks old & 5 years old) it was determined that the sedative was what further suppressed her breathing which creates a real catch 22.
So keeping her out of the hopsickle is my main concern. :shera: (IF there was a hospital room available :sigh: )
So with both vaccines Jacki developed fever blisters. :yes: Only the chills, high fever & catatonic state on the second jab.
And with this last 'cold' we all had...she developed at least SEVEN fever blisters! :eek: They healed pretty quickly & are mostly invisible now, but would that not point to a similar 'invader'? :huh: I read somewheres that fever blisters is an unlisted vax side effect (as well as menstrual disturbances). This last fever blister breakout is by far the worst she's ever had tho. :wtf: I noes it means something... :scratch:
And no the :bee: s ain't in winter mode. :nonono: They is busy busy gathering goldenrod pollen. Lots & lots of it. :yes:
I don't think we are gonna has a cold winter. :nonono: Maybe a polar plunge or 2, later in the season...but I'm betting on mildness. :sparkle:

The cousin has juvenile diabetes, an insulin pump & obesity.
The 2 year old needs them both. :wub:
fwiw, his dad is the cousin's husband I mentioned a couple days ago. He sent them out of the house but obliviously it was too late.

:ooops: neber mind :blush2: I was incorrect when I thunked I was wrong ... Bad data set ... they has reviewed and updated it :yes: Now it's about 180k though that's still a big 35k :bump: :uhoh:
Tanassi refused to report probably cases of covid and there are lots of "errors" where they claim the numbers are high usually due to "coding" problems :roll:
Somehow tanassi is managing to break it's own records while still reporting fewer covid cases than in January and less than ALL of it's neighbouring states :roll:
You should of course use your own judgment but having had the vaccine even in a sea of spreaders you guys 'n gals are reasonably safe :yes:
"Breakthrough" cases and vaccine "Immunity" are both misnomers :yes: No one is completely immune people are simply considered immune if their body is able to kill off the invader so fast that there are no symptoms AND the invader cannot infect additional hosts.
For covid alpHa {aka original flavour} the vaccine did make a large number of people "immune" in the sense that they could be :egg: posed, infected, and kill the virus :guns: without having symptoms AND before anyone else could be infected :thumbs:
Delta generates ~1200 times more replicants and it does it faster than alpHa and as the vaccine antibodies wane people take longer to fight it off so it can spread and they may notice mild symptoms but unless there are unvaccinated people in your group it's not really an issue :nono:
Anywho the important point is to unerstanz that a vaccine doesn't really make you immune AND the wanning antibodies is not a terrible thang that will leave you unprotected :nono: It's ALL about relative rates {aka competitive rate kinetics} ... if the virus can infect, replicate and spread afores a persons immune system killz it it will continue to spread, however, if a persons immune system killz it quickly even though the virus can spread the person will have few or no symptoms.
In other wurdz yes Breakthrough cases are a thang and worrying for others but not sumthin to be overly concerned with for oneself :nono: and you really cannot be absolutely safe :nono: If you look at the racial factors Mexicans are much more likely to have covid than US asians and if you are worried about doof carrying the virus ... most doof has the wrong pH or is too hot and for what's left there's always the UV wand :yes:
I'm not saying the buffet is safe :nono: but iffen that's what durt momma really wants I wouldn't :buttkick: the possibility :nono: Sure after the booster would be better but as long as you keep the initial viral loads low a mild case of Delta will have the same effect as the vaccine ... in theory :whistle:
As for fever blisters they come from the herpes simplex virus and can be triggered by anything though in J ack i's most recent case it sounds most likely from stress fighting off whatever that cold/flu was :yes: It's more an indicator of stress than a covid :check: :therethere:
Anywho the tanassi guberner is an idiot :woe: kinda like the ones in Floriduh and Kentucky :wall: The doog news is that after this next wave the US should mostly be out of the pandemic :gstars: atleast until a new variant popsup and ignores the vaccines :horror:
Tanassi refused to report probably cases of covid and there are lots of "errors" where they claim the numbers are high usually due to "coding" problems :roll:
Quote from: wkrnNASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee has continued its streak of setting a new record for COVID-19 hospitalizations each day in the month of September.
The Tennessee Department of Health reported 3,798 coronavirus patients were hospitalized statewide, as of Sept. 8, breaking the record-high of 3,776, which was set just one day prior.
wkrn Link
Somehow tanassi is managing to break it's own records while still reporting fewer covid cases than in January and less than ALL of it's neighbouring states :roll:
You should of course use your own judgment but having had the vaccine even in a sea of spreaders you guys 'n gals are reasonably safe :yes:
"Breakthrough" cases and vaccine "Immunity" are both misnomers :yes: No one is completely immune people are simply considered immune if their body is able to kill off the invader so fast that there are no symptoms AND the invader cannot infect additional hosts.
For covid alpHa {aka original flavour} the vaccine did make a large number of people "immune" in the sense that they could be :egg: posed, infected, and kill the virus :guns: without having symptoms AND before anyone else could be infected :thumbs:
Delta generates ~1200 times more replicants and it does it faster than alpHa and as the vaccine antibodies wane people take longer to fight it off so it can spread and they may notice mild symptoms but unless there are unvaccinated people in your group it's not really an issue :nono:
Anywho the important point is to unerstanz that a vaccine doesn't really make you immune AND the wanning antibodies is not a terrible thang that will leave you unprotected :nono: It's ALL about relative rates {aka competitive rate kinetics} ... if the virus can infect, replicate and spread afores a persons immune system killz it it will continue to spread, however, if a persons immune system killz it quickly even though the virus can spread the person will have few or no symptoms.
In other wurdz yes Breakthrough cases are a thang and worrying for others but not sumthin to be overly concerned with for oneself :nono: and you really cannot be absolutely safe :nono: If you look at the racial factors Mexicans are much more likely to have covid than US asians and if you are worried about doof carrying the virus ... most doof has the wrong pH or is too hot and for what's left there's always the UV wand :yes:

Dang you messed with Plan B! :woe:
Plan B is a Mexican Restaurant with outdoor seating. :may5:
And really, I think we'll stick wid Plan B becuz it's Mom & ZA who gotted vaxed in December that I worry abouts, too. :yes:
Neither of them is overly robust. :laugh: And Mom has a tendency for ffuts to settle in her chest. :sigh:
Anyway, this Mexican restaurant is not Mexican owned & operated. It's called Tulum...and the owner lived in Tulum for many years, but is from around here. When he returned he opened a restaurant (2, axshully) with Tulum (Cozumel) style Mexican doof. It is fabulous.
It's a counter order restaurant with the mostest fresh vegetables of anywheres else. :yes:
And yeah... I saw that hospital report. :sigh:
Cousin's mil ended up in Murray KY which is only 45 minutes away...but Kentucky! :righton:
So I just read that Biden has 2 meetings this week with psi-guys & gals & they will issue booster advisement then.
The offical booster release is still on the 20th.
What I think I'd really like is a 1/2 dose for Jacki. :yes: Dunno if that is possible but I does have a provider I can ask. :yes:
I doubt that would be done at a pharmacy. :nonono:
In other newses...B is sitting here...working 9:30-6 this week. :crazyeyes:
He was happy to sleep in after rising at 3:30 all week. :yes:
And I just realized why energies are so dang elevated!!!
It's EQUINOX time already! :faint: :balance: Just a week away. :fall:

As long as durt momma is happy that's all that really matters :thumbs:
Wow I'm surprised KY took him or anyone 'cuz they is purty similar to Idaho with negative numbers of ICU beds. He musta gotted into one of the newly renovated/created meeting hall ICUs ... it's still not clear how they are going to be staffing them thangs :uhoh:
He are ya sure Chloe isn't interested in becoming a nurse ... 'cuz there are incentives up to $20k and after this thang is over nurses will be getting some serious monies :thumbs:
Yeah the Biden meetings are just formalities and strategies to make the US look less douche baggy :yes:
Boosters before the rest of the whurled is immunized :drama: Tedros is really messing up :woe: and while he has a point it's actually not a very strong one :nono:
Speaking of Autumnal energies :electrocute: my Bluetti EP500 should be here in 2 to 3 weeks :yesss: :bliss:

Yeah but the 'experts' is saying boosters are not necessary. :nonono:
The CEO of Pfizer says he would not recommend them for at least 12 months.
I think it's cuz they really don't yet know how effective the vaccines are with the current mutations.
I had read awhile back that they already had tweaked versions in progress. :dunno:
And no...Chloe is one of those who practically faints at the sight of blood.
She's a total germaphobe, bloodaphobe, bodily fluidaphobe... :rofl: She'd do well in a sterile lab. :chuckle:
Energies are so up there... I feel slightly nauseous, off-kilter & the sneezing/sinus congestion is back this morning tho I don't think it's a 'thing'.
B sounds nasally & looks quite rough. :sigh: Today is his 8th consecutive day of work. :wtf:
From 0 to 60. :run:

Yer late :tapfoot: :pullhair:
:glomp: :heart:
Meh blood, germz, fluidz, ya get used to ffuts purty quick :yes: I played in cadaver lab purty often and 'cept for the eye popping ffuts it wasn't really a thang :nono: In fact I happen to has :egg: cellent suturing skillz :yes:
Anywho the future of medicine ... and where most of the money is gonna goes ... is nursing and AI robo nurses ... srsly :angel:
Oh the number of doctors retiring rose by more than 20% so not only will there be a nursing shortage when the pandemic is done but also a doctor shortage :uhoh: This means interim healthcare is gonna be :carp: AND medical prices will likely git :bump: ed :no:
Oh there are new vaccines in the pipeline :yes: BUT they has a very doog idea about the effectiveness of the current vaccines 'cuz more people are now vaccinated around the whurled than eber aforez :yes:
Also the mRNA vaccines are literally "miracle" drugs 'cuz not only are they first generation new fangled vaccines they werk way better than anyone had dared hope AND they is still doog against the current variants :faint:
The thang is boosters are not really "necessary" AND because people will likely have more severe side effects it's not sumthin any vaccine company wants to risk after doing so well. The thang to keep in mind is that for the vast majority a booster will not make them "more" immune, it will just :bump: antibodies which are only useful if present when the virus is present.
If you had covid and recovered OR had the vaccine, even if your antibodies have waned and gone completely away :bye: you still has immunity :yes: or atleast your body has a stored memory of what to does iffen it seez covid and this memory generally lasts for years if not decades :thumbs:
The ONLY reason you want to has a high number of covid antibodies in yer body is IF you git :egg: posed to the virus AND that virus enters yer body the thang that will instantly killz it :boom: is antibodies. Elsewise yer body needs a little time to identify and manufacture those antibodies. This time can be hours to many days depending on the persons immune response.
For older and immune compromised individuals boosters should be no :brain: ers if they are at risk for :egg: posure. For eberyone else it's a personal question and the personal answer should sometimes be NO :nono: :yes:
My biggest issue with "boosters" is that the majority of people don't noes how any of this ffuts werks and you has lots of people thinking they "need" the booster because the vaccine isn't doog enough which is wrong. Then you have those who think this proves the vaccine doesn't werk which is also wrong :woe:
Anywho, here are some nuf youtube videos that asplain thangs without getting too tech :nickel: :yes:

How The Immune System ACTUALLY Works (https://youtu.be/lXfEK8G8CUI)
Tiny Bombs in your Blood - The Complement System (https://youtu.be/BSypUV6QUNw)
My point is there is too much empHasis being placed on "antibodies" yes they are doog to has around, especially during a pandemic AND for the most part the use of monoclonal antibodies is an :egg: cellent treatment for early diagnosed and mild-ish covid often helping or curing people within hours :thumbs: BUT they is far from the whole pikture :angel:
Oh and I found this over the weekend it's mostly the same thangs I mentioned about PCR testing negative but it's from someone who actually noes what they is talking about AND has a tiny bit of sadistics :yes:

Anywho iffen ya missed it about 20% of normal PCR testing is coming back wrong.

I vote Abby Normal, too! :wave: :wiggle:
And having had a taste of the vid makes us :superman: :cheer:
Well....my gut was seriously wavering on getting J ack i boosted. :crazyeyes:
It wouldn't have been an issue except for some older fambily who has already gotten boosters
AND the accessibility. I means...we could likely get any & all of the shots TODAY iffin we wanted to.
Multiple times over. :sigh: Becuz the record keeping & accountability is negligible. :crazyeyes:
But if & when she gets any morez I would really like a half dose. Or less. And I thunk maybe that could be arranged at a doctor's office.
Or not.
Anyway....Tanasi is NUMBER ONE still!!! :woohoo: :faint:
Most new cases per capita still.
Daily records in hospitalizations. And deaths. :candle:
We truly suck well! :faint:
Interesting too, that I have seen little mention of Tanasi in the national news feeds. :huh:
They still bashing Floriduh & Tejas & even Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana... but scarcely a mention of Tanasi who is the bestest worst.
:thanks: for all the info. :righton:

Relatively speaking I thunked Germanesia was doesing quite well :thumbs: roughly 40% of the previous peak no oblivious rampant proliferation :nono: OK the vaccine numbers could be better but mid to high 60's is not terrible :nono: with the recovered immune like yerselves that put's the total immune into the high 70's low 80's which wont be enough to halt covid BUT should result in a slow down :yes:
Ok yeah the whole student thang is a nightmare waiting to happen ... again :woe: I really thunked vaccines for school kids would be a thang afores schools opened but what does I noes :sigh: :kickcan:
J ack i is the tricky one ... it's not clear if she is susceptible due to weak immune system of susceptible due to over reactive immune system AND to make matters worserer IF that was covid any vaccine "could" spark a more intense reaction :uhoh: She coulda done well with an antibody test :yes: That woulda told you iffen it was covid, what her antibody levelz are AND if she should has a vaccine :bump: or not :angel:
BUT it is a blood draw :suck: and woulda required a doctor to say run this 'cuz it's not a standard quick test :sigh:
As for tanassi newses ... um nearly all of your medical covid reporting is obliviously messed up and I mean really badly :yes: Anyone looking at your data and at any level will see numerous discrepancies and will likely not report anything because it cannot be verified :dunno: Your ICU levelz don't correspond to the number of beds, there are always more beds available even when hopsickles are beyond capacity and not taking any more patients. Patients are diagnosed with pneumonia or upper respiratory distress with no covid testing, many are listed by their comorbidity with out reference to covid even if intubated :woe: There was even one that was on ECMO {extracorporeal membrane oxygenation} that was apparently due to lung infection but attributed to an asthma condition :woe:
Basically, tanassi has a low enough population with enough unmonitored small clinics that they can git away with denying covid is a thang. The Johns Hopkins numbers are the closest you can git to an accurate representation :yes:
The official infection rate is listed as 19.2% but the Johns Hopkins number is over 25% and the true number is almost certainly higher. Like Floriduh the really bad places just stop reporting altogether :sofa:
Anywho th doog news is that even tanassi is hasing the number of vaccinated increase :thumbs: AND being one of the worst states and hasing a low population means you also are likely to be one of the first stated to become immune to covid :gstars: ya noes the people that survive anyways :whistle:
To reach herd immunity for covid original flavour would vave required 70% to 75% estimated vaccinated + recovered immune for the Delta if it is as contagious as the measles then 95% is the werking number :uhoh:
Unfortunately this means vaccines alone are not enough :nono: If 100% of people were vaccinated then this would just barely stop the Delta {'cuz high 90's efficacy} :sigh: However, at 70% vaccinated and 10% to 15% recovered immune then we are looking at significant slow down :yes: after which virus tracking and vigilance should be enough :angel:
FYI: vigilance includes mask wearing ... likely until atleast spring :yes:
However, for the most part after dad gits a booster {and regular flu shot} I :egg: pect thangs to be normalish atleast until :turkey: day :thumbs:
In other newses it sure does feel like Fall (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/leaf_jump.gif)

Have I said DOOMED lately?
:woe:
Wow, just wow. I nude we were messed up but you just laid out the messiest.
As for school vaccinations...what about the young teen boys & myocarditis?
Iffin I had a teen boy I would think twice. :huh:
And why oh why cannot they give microdoses? Or half doses at least to peoples such as teen boys or say...Jacki?
Does it hafta be all or nothin to be effective? :huh:
I am running with the assumption that we DID have Delta so therefore J ack i is already boosted. :righton:
It's what I axed the Universe for. :chuckle: For reals...I said multiple times that the ideal would be for us to get a mild case.
But that being said she is awesome at wearing a mask. :hi5: And has broken her old habit of touching everything in the store. :chuckle:
And definitely keeps her distance. :yes:
So today we are going out! :elfparty: :bsl:
:birthday: party day! :happydance: You only turn 78 once...if you're lucky. :rstars:
Lessee...B's dad lived to be 56, his mom was 73 & my dad was 71. :faint:

Here's a youtube video about covid-19 in tanassi Link (https://youtu.be/QFrZyzvmoBY)
It's short, only 3:26 but I think it really points out where tanassi is in this whole thang ... most importantly what the hopsickle allowed :woe:
Anywho yes the CDC recognizes that tanassi has the highest rate of covid "per capita" which should have been per 100k or some form of biggest number of infections for a tiny population :roll:
After that the mother took care of her son for more than 2 weeks while he had a fever :wall: She was allowed to stay with him at the hopsickle :wall: AND his teammates visited him at the hopsickle :woe: Oh and the mother is now considering the vaccine :woe:
The mom has almost certainly had covid so the vaccine is :whatever: BUT what hopsickle allows visitors to infectious patients who should be in quarantine :wall: Sure it's a pediatrics hopsickle but it don't matter there should be NO visitors like in the rest of the US :pullhair:
Yeah tanassi is kinda messed up :therethere:
Though to be fair Floriduh is almost certainly worse :yes: in perspective covid has to date killed 1 person out of every 500 in the whurld but out of every 26 people who die of covid on :earth: 1 is from Floriduh :horror: Fer realz :yes: of course the whurled stats are horribly under reported AND FLoriduh is barely complying with anythin so :dunno:
Anywho right now is the bestest time to go out and party 'cuz for now the vaccine and mild cases have made :superman: types of you all so go has a great time doesing the 78ing :beerme:

I been telling you there is no virus in Tanasi. :woe:
Wow! When he said "take this more serious"...that sums up the level of denial around here. :sigh:
No quarantining, little masking...it's the Sweden approach. :chuckle: :scratch: Or was it Denmark, now I'm not so sure.
But one of them went head on into herd immunity but it backfired. :sigh:
The peoples who say they won't live in fear of a virus, won't wear a mask, won't get a vax cuz their immune system won't let them down...those peoples are overlooking one small (huge) fact. That's the freakin fact that nobody's immune system has encountered this particular virus ever on planet earth as far back as we know. :woe:
And one by one the vocal anti-vaxxers get sick & die, whether they be radio hosts or chiropractors or teachers or doctors or preachers or Karens (sorry :violet: ), but still...
There is a deep-seated mistrust of the government in the South. The G-men, the revenuers, whoever. :whatever:
That's part of why they latched onto the former guy. HE was anti-government & they loved it!
But the weird thing is that they are also quite pro-military. Totally bought into the hoopla.
My late Travelling Aunt would walk across a room to thank a servicemember for their service whenever she saw someone in uniform. :yes: And they loooove their flags. :yes: They just hate the government. :huh: It just don't make sense.
But yes! We had a lovely day. :wiggle: Mom is so happy whenever we can load up the van with peoples & just go. Anywheres.
It's about the journey & everyone being together. :wiggle:
Zen Aunt tho... :sigh: Her DEXA scan results came back & she has "severe" thinning in the knees, ankles, neck...not her hips, oddly.
You got any :magic: al :sig: tips for beefing up bones? I guess the chiropractor has a recommended calcium supplement that is more easily absorbable...but still. :sigh:
She's had a rough road in recent years. The shingles in her eye still causes pain & the vision loss continues to progress...a bone spur in her ankle has been a constant issue...and now this.
Elsewise... :horn: ENERGIES!!!! :bsl:
:earthheart:

:therethere: people are free to believe whatever they like :yes: IF not believing in a virus is that important to them you should let it go :angel:
Mandates should be in place to protect eberyone so even if they don't believe as long as they comply it's ok :yes: Yes I noes they are not big on mask wearing BUT they are slowly learning :angel: Idaho has run out of medical resources so emergency response is being triaged with those most likely to live being given priority and others being given "comfort care" :horror:
While freakishly skeery Idaho, which has one of the lowest vaccination rates just gotted a HUGE :bump: in peoplez wanting to be vaccinated. It's all doog and fine to stand up for freedom and liberty (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/flag_cow_boy.gif) and lotsa people are happy to die martyrs but dying stoopid and forgotten isn't as popular as you might thinxz :nono:
The point is you no fret lil skunk :therethere: yer local peoplez will slooowly come around :om: it's just Darwin's will :cleanse:
"You got any :magic: al :sig: tips for beefing up bones? "
Srsly? :wall: that's kinda my specialty :gaah: fer realz :yes:
Since her hips are doog the root cause of bone loss isn't so much age related osteoperosis it's very likely a combination of nutrition, obesity and a dire lack of impact :egg: ercise :yes:
Ok prolly some post menopausal osteoporosis so she should be hasing hormone replacement BUT as usual my 3 favourite thangs Light, :electrocute: and magnetism :vibes: are all players :yes:
First make sure she is taking Calcium, D3, vit B complex and iron or that she is atleast getting enough of all these thangs PLUS gelatin is strongly recommended :yes: Amembers gelatin comes from bones so those nutrients are all needed :yes:
Red and InfrRed light both activate osteoblasts which create bone as well as reducing or slowing the mechanisms that remove bone. In fact treadmill running/walking with IR light on legs has been shown to reverse osteoporosis in legs atleast for postmenopausal osteo :yes:
As always lasers are better but not required :nono:
:electrocute: has been used to restart failed bone fusions and electrical plates have been shown to likewise activate osteocytes :yes:
Then of course the most :egg: tensively studied bone healing through NRGeez thang is Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field {PEMF} therapy :yes:
Anywho, you can find tons of research on this ffuts but if you are looking for a clear does this to heal Zen Aunt yer not gonna find it :therethere: There is little doubt that many forms of osteoporosis can be easily treated and reversed BUT there are many many varieties and variations. So first understand what is causing it, reverse as possible then rebuild :angel:
One of the reasons I like light therapy is that Red + InfraRed helps from bone marrow to skin and hair :thumbs:
:electrocute: therapy is also useful but trickier to use and apply BUT very doable :yes:
Pulsed Magnetic Fields is one of the most studied and probably the least invasive or troubling to work with. Currently it's mostly used by veterinarians and people with slow healing ankle fractures. For ZA you'd be looking for larger areas and higher power. Also for this one it has to be Pulsed ... static magnets do nuthin :nono:
As always I favour high power light sources BUT all 3 "can" werk :yes:

First...the FDA said :nonono: to Pfizer boosters except for those over 65 & high risk.
I can go wid dat. :righton: :chuckle:
As for ZA...she takes many many supplements. :sigh: Many many. Amember? She buys all the miracle cures. :yes:
Clues...she has lots of inflammation. :check:
Her diet is poor (southern fried) tho she regularly tries to get it in check. :check: She buys organic junk doof :rofl:
She has frequent digestive issues, sluggish metabolism & had her gallbladder removed a few years back.
She is hypothyroidic. :chuckle: Dunno if that is a drow.
And the shingles are just barely remissed as her eye lesion flares back up periodically.
And she is overweight, though primarily around the middle....she's not fat overall.
And she's 70.
I have often felt that she needs to stop all those supplements :crazyeyes: , detox through teas or a brief juice fast,
then...judiciously start back with selected supplements. :yes:
And seriously upgrade her diet. :yes: She knows how. 8)
I think she takes so many that none of them are being metabolized. :yes:
She will buy or seek out anything I/you recommend.
Also...after about 3 or 4 light therapy sessions the knee feels soooo much better, as in no pain.
The ortho told her to "walk on it as tolerated".
She has done acupuncture for sleeplosness.

...
Tech :nickel: ly that's true though boosters were :buttkick: ed based solely on antibody drop and they literally will reconsider should the question of necessity change. Even with Pfizer antibody count waning by 6% ebery 2 months those who got the shot early {1 year ago} are still not being hopsicklilzed on a regular enough basis to register any issues. Srsly the last report I saw was only 0.02% of vaccinated people in the ICU were in critical condition and odds are purty doog it's not the covid making them critically ill :whistle:
Also there's a thang about recovered immunity from covid is roughly 13 times more potent than vaccination immunity ... I haven't verified the veracity of that statement BUT it's almost certainly true to some degree though I dunno about the "13" part :dunno:
Anywho, I might just go and git a Moderna jab :matt: why prey tell 'cuz Apparently 1 I am not in the system :yesss:
KalipHornia has a validation app and I tried to git my validation and they said name not found :no:
Purty sure my um unorthodox vaccination wasn't formally entered :angel: This means I'm banned from visiting hopsickles :drama: Anywho I shoulda been entered into the hopsickles database BUT since I'm not actually a patient or regular of sed hopsickle I don't :egg: ist :no: :boo:
Gallbladder removal ... was it due to pain/stones? 'cuz then yeah her nutritional uptake is skruwd :yes:
As for tea :cleanse: ... :woe: ... dang :woo: git :buttkick:
Tell her to git a blood :suck: test for nutritional deficiencies and hormone levels. This is enough information to have a doog idea of where to start :yes: BUT from the location of her bone loss It's pretty clearly low serum calcium and lack of impact :egg: ercise.
Basically her hips are strong because she's overweight and when sitting down she puts enough weight on her :butt: that her body sez ok shore up them bones. While insufficient walking and or weight lifting signals the body it's ok to take minerals from the limbs 'cuz they are not being used muches :nono:
It's important to note that minerals are being lost and it's likely atleast in part to postmenopausal hormoning :yes: BUT she basically needs :egg: ercise and a calcium :bump: :yes:
That said just eating a bunch of Tums will induce vascular plaque formation if there are other issues so does blood tests :suck: :yes:
Here's the thang ... and yes it's one of my nutritional hangups the minerals calcium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and copper are all very important for bones BUT are easily and frequently prevented from being absorbed. In fact Calcium supplements frequently come with magnesium, zinc and or copper :yes:
The problem is Calcium PREVENTS magnesium, copper and zinc from being absorbed by the body :woe: so it's just a marketing gimmick :gaah:
Then there's the fact that copper and zinc also cancel each other out :gaah: srsly that's how ya make brass :therethere:
Then of course iron rich doof as well as pHospHorous rich doof both reduce manganese retention levels and this is all before mixing in issues with vitaminz like not enough D or C and iron doesn't go where it should etc. :wall:
Nutrition is very fascinating AND most nutritionists git it wrong :yes: It's not that these thangs are not well unerstood :nono: it's literally because ebery one is different AND that different can redifferent agin without rhyme or reason :pullhair:
Anywho this is one reason why doog and effective diets SUDDENLY go belly up :rimshot:
Fer realz :yes: like people who swear by intermittent fasting and eat only once per day that one daily meal needz to be highly varied if not they eventually run out of one important component ... THEN intermittent fasting not so doog no morez. The same often happens with vegegans and vegetarians as well as people who eat the same meal ebery day and slowly run out of ffuts neber noesing why :dunno:
Yeah yeah fine nutrition is my :button: :whatever: the point is ZA doesn't need a supplement timeout or :cleanse: she just needs what's right for her right now :om: Which is :duh: oblivious but really quite tricky to werk out BUT he blood tests would help :yes:
Oh and yeah the light therapy is purty darn miraculous :thumbs: but the first thang is just inflammation and pain reduction the rehealthful thangz come later :yes:
She should be on thyroid replacement hormones if not that's another :check: for Pro osteoporosis :uhoh:
Shingles is neither here nor there but the number of occurrences suggests stress metabolism :yes:
Lack of sleep has lots of issues :yes: unless properly managed of course :siguie:
Also if she is ok with acupuncture I strongly recommend finding a Japanese {No not Chinese} practitioner near her. Also it wont be a few needle jabs and she's cured :nono: The Japanese stole the Chinese acupuncture and fused it with their health system and I think it's vastly improved :yes:
You said ZA has much inflammation, well it sounds like she needs foundation fixes afores treating individual symptoms :yes: In particular starting with nutrition and digestion two separate but related thangs that Japanese acupuncture does very well :yes:
In other newses I'm tired :coffee:
I was :egg: pectin some NRGeez :woo: about :moon: waxing afores :fall: equinox or some such but nope :sigh:

Ya know, :egg: spectations often lead to disappointment. :pie:
:rofl:
We wented to IKEA yesterday. :faint: Ir was nice to be in a city (suburbs of Memphis) in that peoples were 95% masked. :clap:
It was not nice to be in a city cuz peoples was numerous! :wtf:
We are in the early stages of oh so gradually making over J ack i's bedroom. :rofl:
She gotted a new desk a couple weeks ago. And we were pretty easily able to make the switch. :check:
yesterday she gotted a chair for said desk but it is in the back of the car still. :chuckle:
And we looked at beds & the rest. Likely, after measuring & such, I will order the furnuture she wants & then we will get a month
or more to get her mentally prepared for change. :uhoh:
Maybe, if we 'lucky', I can get her to stay with Mom for a couple days while the actual making over occurs. :sparkle:
In the past when she's needed/wanted bedroom upgrading we've done it while she was in Ohio. :elfparty:
10 minutes of wrath & then she likes what's been done.
So you really don't think that ALL these supplements are 'clogging up' ZA's system? :wtf:
I mean for reals...20-30 assorted pills & potions a day. Chia seed on everything. Curry powder, too..just cuz she likes it. :chuckle:
I will pass along the recommend for a blood test & I figger she will does it. :righton:
Thanks. :yes:
:horn: ENERGIES!!! Yes! :faint:
The crows are talking about that very subject right this moment. :wtf:
Quite electrical & buzzulating yet at the same time they feel subdued. :huh:
I guess that makes sense in an equinoxical sorta way. :balance:
The
It's also been quite London Foggy :clouds: here with intermittant tropical downpours.
The kinda grey that makes me feel like I'm in a dream scene in a musical. :asilly: :choir:

Not sure about "over 1000" :scratch:
BUT over 5000 evacuated and no injuries :thumbs:
Also it's nght time and pootiful :wubsigh: very classic wall of fire with a lovely lava river :thumbs:
It looks like Reuters has a Live Cam Link (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/people-evacuated-spanish-island-la-palma-after-volcano-eruption-warning-2021-09-19/)
Srsly it's really a purty cataclysmic event :wub:
"Ya know, :egg: spectations often lead to disappointment. :pie: "
They also lead to :buttkick: s which make me :bigsmile: so what's yer point :club:
OK wanting a room makeover and then angrying about it ... that's different :whistle:
I tend to use thangs until they wear out or annoy me enough to :buttkick: them and then I'm usually quite happy with the replacements :yes: BUT ya noes goes with what ya noes :yes: and I'm sure J ack i will be happy getting out of HECK :oz:
Yeah I miss going to IKEA ... I mostly went for the meatball thangs :liplick: BUT I rather like IKEA and it's just nuf to see what's new :bliss:
"So you really don't think that ALL these supplements are 'clogging up' ZA's system? :wtf: "
Other than quantity I have no info as to what she's taking or doing :dunno: chia seeds and curry are both doog and fine :thumbs: As for anythin else supplements are generally harmless even if you take too much iron the result is generally just constipation while for things like too much vit.C the result is diarrhea or in other wurdz most timez eberythang cancels out :rimshot:
Srsly the body takes what it needz and lets anything it don't need go :bye:
The only really questionable thangs are ffuts like dietary fiber supplements which can reduce nutrient uptake and caffeine quantities meant to enhance a persons metabolism. So if a supplement makes you feel better go ahead and take it and if it makes you feel worse stop ... otherwise prolly no gumming up of werxz :nono:
A varied and balanced diet means people are not likely deficient in anything and thus should require no supplements :nono:
However, people age, their doof changes and requirements may also change. So it's doog to :check: periodically to rule out deficiencies or just low levels of thangs. For instance ZA almost certainly needs more calcium in her diet :yes: This will be determined by her serum {in blood :suck: } calcium numbers. IF it's low then yup eat tums tums tums TUMS :yes:
However, IF it's normal or high that means her body is raising her blood calcium levels by demineralizing her bones :horror: Then it's important to discover why in order to slow, stop and or reverse the process :yes:
That said I can almost guarantee ZA's issues is weight, lifestyle and postmenopausal in nature :yes:
Other than :egg: ercising the tricky bit is the amount of protein she needs daily. Assume a 100 lbs body weight to be ~45kg which means a 50yr+ woman weighing 100lbs would need atleast 45g of protein eberyday and yes ZA will need quite a bit more. The thang to remember is that plant proteins offer between 60% and 80% bioavailability vs 90%++ of animule :cow: Also there are complete and incomplete proteins and plants are mostly incomplete :whistle:
Anywho protein absorption is a whole other topic ... very fascinating but other ... but for ZA who is not vegetational the :siguie: method is really purty doog :yes: That is lotsa gelatin :angel:
Srsly at any given time I has atleast 2lbs of gelatin on hand :yes:
Anywho here's the thang 45g is ~1.5 ounces and I'm guessing ZA will need atleast 60g of protein prolly closer to 80g and gelatin is a doog easy :bump: at approximately 10g per tablespoon {not teaspoon :buttkick: }. Ya see people misteak :rimshot: meat with protein it's got doogly amounts of bioavailable protein BUT it's not ALL protein :nonono:
Depending on a number of factors a raw 4oz steak has between 30 and 62g of protein or in other wurdz :cow: is only around 25% protein :therethere:
:egg: is a great source of protein AND it has the highest direct conversion percentage of any common doof :thumbs: however, cholesterol can often become an issue so :egg: whites are ok but ya need a lot :dunno:
10 Science-Backed Reasons to Eat More Protein
Ok too much :blah: :blah: I add gelatine to purty much ebery soup, or sauce I make AND I'm a fan of siguie brand Gell-O 8) and I think gelatine is the easiest way to get lots of protein :thumbs:
IF I has any space left in a siguie brand supplement I'll typically add powdered gelatine to top it off :angel:
Here's the thang ya need protein to make strong bones most people git enough not to be considered "deficient" but most people do not eat enough nor unerstanz the concept of digestion well enough to eat what they want. Like yes :cow: is doog tasty protein but too much slows digestion AND causes other issues. The idea is to git enough protein into the blood stream on a daily basis to satisfy primary bodily requirements and then some :angel:
KNOX Unflavored Gelatin, 16 oz. (Pack of 2) <= Amazon Link and my usual order :oz:
So blood :suck: tests are important after that iffen not afores likely Tums, protein, vit. D and daily :egg: er cise :yes:

Quote from: pubmedNutrition and bone health in women after the menopause
Abstract
Osteoporosis affects one out of three postmenopausal women. Their remaining lifetime risk of fragility fractures exceeds that of breast cancer. The risk of osteoporosis and/or fragility fractures can be reduced through healthy lifestyle changes. These include adequate dietary intakes of calcium, vitamin D and protein, regular weight-bearing exercise, reduction in alcohol intake and smoking cessation. European guidance for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women recommends a daily intake of at least 1000 mg/day for calcium, 800 IU/day for vitamin D and 1 g/kg body weight of protein for all women aged over 50 years. The development of programs that encourage lifestyle changes (in particular balanced nutrient intakes) are therefore essential for the reduction of osteoporosis risk.
... Source ...
Other than :egg: ercising the tricky bit is the amount of protein she needs daily. Assume a 100 lbs body weight to be ~45kg which means a 50yr+ woman weighing 100lbs would need atleast 45g of protein eberyday and yes ZA will need quite a bit more. The thang to remember is that plant proteins offer between 60% and 80% bioavailability vs 90%++ of animule :cow: Also there are complete and incomplete proteins and plants are mostly incomplete :whistle:
Anywho protein absorption is a whole other topic ... very fascinating but other ... but for ZA who is not vegetational the :siguie: method is really purty doog :yes: That is lotsa gelatin :angel:
Srsly at any given time I has atleast 2lbs of gelatin on hand :yes:
Anywho here's the thang 45g is ~1.5 ounces and I'm guessing ZA will need atleast 60g of protein prolly closer to 80g and gelatin is a doog easy :bump: at approximately 10g per tablespoon {not teaspoon :buttkick: }. Ya see people misteak :rimshot: meat with protein it's got doogly amounts of bioavailable protein BUT it's not ALL protein :nonono:
Depending on a number of factors a raw 4oz steak has between 30 and 62g of protein or in other wurdz :cow: is only around 25% protein :therethere:
:egg: is a great source of protein AND it has the highest direct conversion percentage of any common doof :thumbs: however, cholesterol can often become an issue so :egg: whites are ok but ya need a lot :dunno:
10 Science-Backed Reasons to Eat More Protein
Ok too much :blah: :blah: I add gelatine to purty much ebery soup, or sauce I make AND I'm a fan of siguie brand Gell-O 8) and I think gelatine is the easiest way to get lots of protein :thumbs:
IF I has any space left in a siguie brand supplement I'll typically add powdered gelatine to top it off :angel:
Here's the thang ya need protein to make strong bones most people git enough not to be considered "deficient" but most people do not eat enough nor unerstanz the concept of digestion well enough to eat what they want. Like yes :cow: is doog tasty protein but too much slows digestion AND causes other issues. The idea is to git enough protein into the blood stream on a daily basis to satisfy primary bodily requirements and then some :angel:

Well I predicted 186k for the US on Sep.20 which is today ... the peak was 172002 on or around Sep.12 which is only a week after labour day weekend. So I guess the Delta makes people sicker faster :uhoh:
Currently there is a clear and very dramatic drop off in the curve to 115k now :faint:
A drop is not un :egg: pected but it's very very steep :beerme:
Until a variant comes by that is immune to the vaccine I thinxz this thang is mostly over for the US :yesss:

So yes, Delta gets peoples sicker faster, hopsicklized faster & dead faster. :candle:
All in all, a much more efficient virus. :chuckle:
And in Israel (:whatever:) once new cases peaked they then pretty much plummetted. :clap:
Makes sense that it would also burn itself out fasterer. :yes:
We gotted Grizzlies tickets. :ashamed: :chuckle: October 20, opening night against the Cleveland Cavs, :cheer:
IT would be for B & J's birthday celebrations. :rstars: But...I have told J to understand that anything can change at any time.
The tickets can be resold no problem. :yes: But they are 3 rows from the floor...behind the basket. In what I feel is a safer area than say waaaaay up high where peoples are packed more like sardines.

The back story was that this funeral home drove a box truck round & round the Carolina Panthers NFL game with "Don't Get Vaccinated" and their web address on it. So then when you went to the web address... BOOM! :rofl:
And did youses see? When you click on the Get Vaccinated Now message it takes you to local vaccination information. :check:
Brilliant! :beerme:

Yup Brilliant :beerme:
But I bet there are some people who go there needing a funeral home after a covid incident and I bet those people aren't too happy :whistle:
So based on confirmed cases and population numbers KalipHorniya is in the 11% recovered immune camp, tanassi is 17% and on average the US is around 13%.
IF you add those numbers to the percent vaccinated as of 2 weeks ago you can see the "Slow Down" number is around 70% :yes: This is absolutely NOT Herd Immunity :nonono: BUT it's a number at which point covid delta is no longer amuck running :yes: There are other factors like masking and social distancing which is presumably why states that do have a sharper decline BUT somewherez between 70% and 75% is where the transmission rate begins to fall dramatically :angel:
With the Delta variant until kidz are immunized there is zero chance of herd immunity :sigh: BUT the reason this is doog newses is that this point is being reached by more and more states AND countries :beerme:
Germany is also in the zone :thumbs: their recovered immune is only around 5% because they was smater and betterer at wearing masks 'n such BUT as of last week 63.27% were FULLY vaccinated ... presumably some partially vaccinated as well though :yes: Anywho this puts them on the cusp at 68+% :beerme:
Pan yer in the zone too though you border 2 states and one has a really high number which really correlates more with big city counties and messes with my data :fist: BUT yer looken doog :thumbs:
Oh and in the land-o-the-great-white-north their vaccination rate is 70.37% so they are beating us regardless :hmm:
The point of this little arithmatical :egg: ercise is to point out that until a new variant mixes it up thangs are almost certainly gonna improve :thumbs: Well ya noes not in places like Brasil :woe:
In other newses ... 93°F :boom: :no:

Oh get this...
The Tanasi Department of Health (TDH) is recommending that monoclonal antibodies be reserved for unvaccinated peoples! :woe:
I get it, from a medical priority point of view. Kinda. But isn't that like rewarding people for refusing vaccinations? :huh:
Plus...what if a vaccinated person is refused the antibodies & then winds up hospitalized or even dead? What does that mean?
And what would peoples who refuse one shot then be willing to has 4 shots (that's the standard treatment around here) of ffuts that could be as harmful or more (just saying what would be in line with their beliefs...maybe)?

Yeah kidz don't count :nono: :rimshot:
Srsly without antibody testing done within 3 months after their infections there's no way to tell fer sure anywho :dunno: BUT with the Delta's virulence/spreadability there's just no way to reach the 95% level needed for herd immunity anywho. Right now covid should be looked at a bit like putting out a wildfire ... slow it down as best you can then lit it burn itself out.
After the "final" wave there are going to be hotspots and areas where people will need to be restricted and or quarantined so as not to spark flare ups BUT there is AN end in sight :end: or atleast potentially :angel:
"The Tanasi Department of Health (TDH) is recommending that monoclonal antibodies be reserved for unvaccinated peoples! :woe: "
:hysterical: ya noes I sawed that :yes: and the funniest part is it's an honour system ... they believe what you tell them so they were considering vaccine reporting :roar: :bsl:
Of course nobody bothered to look at the fact that tanassi has very few breakthrough cases, less than 2%, even less when you remove the ones who didn't go to the hopsickle because of covid AND of the very few left ... well they are either very old or have potent comorbidities.
FYI: monoclonal antibodies are most effective for weak or moderate covid AND only in the early stages :roll:
But yeah they really upped their stoopid game :woe:
Anywho, iffen they does that they should trim the ICU beds by atleast 2% to make room for vaccinated peoplez who come in for non-covid reasons :yes: Turning away :heart: attack or stroke patients due to covid overload is wrong :unthumbs:

We've flip flopped. :oz:
Well I saw later that the monoclonal-to-unvax is axshully a recommend from the CDC. :chuckle:
But Tanasi is the only state that thunk it worth implementing. :ashamed:
Boy oh boy the potential lawsuits...
I also read that 7 states have used 70% of the supply so the Federal Government is doling out supplies now.
Tanasi was giving it to eeerbody. :yes: If you tested positive you gotted the shots, as it's referred to here.
All 5 of my recent fambily was given it. I dunno about the kids. :nonono:
I doubt it cuz the one 7 year old girl is on steroids & breathing treatments as per her grandma. :vibes:
Funniest thing of all is how the 'antis' (anti-vax, anti-science, anti-government, anti=mask, anti-everything) beg for monoclonal antibodies (along with ivermectin) and they is simply lab created antibodies. :sig:
This current reality-TV is quite fascinating. :horror:
Ever changing & hard to predict. :hysterical:

I think we should celebrate for 3 days every month! :elfparty:
Boy oh boy this Haitian refuge crisis is sure somethin. :(
I don't know what the right thing to do is but at least in the interim I'd love to see them drop thousands of MREs or water or somethin.

Oh they is beneficial for any covidity same as "convalescent plasma" but because they are in such high demand they are prioritized to whomever would benefit the most from it :yes: The antibodies are only effective against lysed {aka active spreading virus} and they Do NOT does the killin :nono: They paint the target so other cells can dispatch them :guns: they can also gum up the virus so they has difficulty infecting other cells to replicate. This creates a brief pause in the assault on a persons body and the conditions are perfect for the body to create it's own immune response to take over the fighting :angel:
The typical symptoms of a cold and their intensity is not from the virus but rather from the bodies immune system freaking out to what it considers a SUDDEN attack :frantic: Antibodies float around for months after a vaccine just in case the virus comes back, that's why it's a measure for vaccines and why giving people the proper antibodies can help :angel:
For the unvaccinated or :egg: tremely immune compromised it's a stop gap to give their bodies time to create their own antibodies and killer cells. For those who developed lung infections or other covid symptoms it's really too late. At best the antibodies can lower the viral load a tad but that's about it.
Once covid has been confirmed yes monoclonal antibodies should be an easy yes :yes: BUT it's in short demand and only those who would most benefit from it should get it until more can be made BUT the unvaccinated are NOT necessarily the ones that could most benefit :nonono:
Yup them 7 states were killing people in other states by trying to corner the market on them antibodies :yes: This is where getting the vaccine being a personal decision becomes one that effects everyone :yes: If you don't want to get the vaccine that's a free choice but the consequences should be you are last in line for covid treatments :yes:
That said I noes Alaska, Idaho and Montana are now doing covid triage and palliative care :horror: but I heard it was 7 states though it may just be certain regions of those 4 other states :scratch: Anywho that is really skeery :uhoh: 'cuz the patients dying are NOT those with covid ... they are the ones who needed emergency medical treatment BUT could not get through the covid crush :sigh:
ON the plus side numbers are dropping :thumbs: even in tanassi though as usual tanassi reporting is srsly messed up :therethere: Near as I can tell tanassi is just below Alaska in number of new cases and just above Montana :woe: So not surprisingly your hopsickles are or should be in dire straights ... now is the time to avoid any emergency situations :console: Oh and according to JHU tanassi is #6 worst for infection rate link (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/testing-positivity) ...

Well the recall stoopidity was started by the same anti-vax & mask peoples.
All in the name of FREEDOM! :rofl:
And yes, I don't like that Tanasi seems to be rewarding peoples who didn't get vaxxed.
It's like, "Oh...don't worry. We got yer back". :sigh:
But I have read that many providers are ignoring the directive. :clap:
Your esplanation of how the monoclonal antibodies werk was really doog. :righton:
Thurzdaze! :woe: That's why B didn't get in til 3:30.AM. :woe: He had gotten home at 2 the rest of the week.
But really...I noes he worked 12 instead of 10 hours. :yes:
Speaking of... the psoriasis is creeping back. :yes: I been giving him a B complex & D3, but am seriously interested in some sort of light.
You don't know anybodies who knows anythings about lights, does you? :pie:
I looked, briefly, on Amazon, & they has so many to choose from now :huh: , many of them claiming to be 311nm.
I think he'd prefer not a wand tho...maybe a clip on, or even a bulb that could go in the spider-like pole lamp?
Any other supplements you think he might could use?
I am going to Jackson to get my hairs cut today. :happydance: First hair cut since 10/1/20. :chuckle:
Not becuz of covid as much as becuz I wouldn't spend $40 on something really unnecessary befores. :yes:
I gots ponytail holders. :wiggle: And haven't been going anywheres. But I has missed seeing Kirby, my stylist.
She's 'kin'. :sparkle: She's Kaerf, born into a conservative southern fambily. :wtf: :chuckle:

As for light...k...I get it. I figger he's alotta light kinda guy. I mean...he happily stays in the hot hot :sun: for 10 hours straight.
But he has no time to sun :hail: now. The sun is not out when he gets home. :p
And he axshully does gets bit of OT pay. :happydance: A flat $25 per hour for every hour over 50. :check:
Less than salary but "a little somethin for your time". :righton:
He workin today. :wiggle: And likely tomorrow. :sigh: I'd like to see 1 day off for rest & recuperation. :sparkle:
So ok....I'll keep lookin at lighting options. There are sure a lot of them now. :crazyeyes:
If it keeps progressing I knows he'll likely do the nasty drugs again. :sigh: And become immunosuppressive once mores. :sigh:
And I understands. :sigh: It is a horrible disease to live with when it is in full-on mode. :gheart:

That's no :egg: cuse :buttkick:
:tapfoot: is one thang but :missing: is unasseptible :no:
Yeah we miss ya and hearing about ffuts :yes: like how you all are doesing :oz:
You also gots that whole new parliament thang going on :uhoh:
"As for light...k...I get it. I figger he's alotta light kinda guy. I mean...he happily stays in the hot hot :sun: for 10 hours straight."
:woe: No that's not it at all :nono: That's also why these treatments are best started by dermatologists who werk with phototherapy. The vast majority of :sun: light has no appreciable effect on psoriasis :nono: it's only the wavelengths between 308nm and 313nm which is in the UV and is essentially invisible to hooman sight {the visible spectrum is 380 to 700nm +/- 20nm or so for different peoplez}. A therapist would start treatment at 30 seconds with 311nm at a known intensity. Then evaluate 3 or 4 days later then slowly in crease by 30 seconds until they've determined the effective intensiiiity and duration.
For some people the minimally effective level is more than their skin can handle regularly and for others ... like my father ... 30 seconds was more than enough but he had eczema not psoriasis.
The goal here is to identify the minimum amount of light needed to produce a satisfactory outcome. UV light therapy is not without consequences :nono: you are using a doog deal more UVB than sitting out in the sun for whatever duration and the therapy really only werks because of a fortuitous window. Basically the 311nm wavelength does not {for the most part} cause thymine dimers which is the main cause of skin cancer however a little lower or a little higher and :boom: pyrimidine dimer formation :no:
FYI: Thymine, Cytosine and Uracil are all pyrimidines but only Thymine is used in DNA it's the T for trouble :whistle:
Here's the thang Yes I do believe light therapy for :b: would be doog and likely his best option for getting off the psoriasis cycle :yes: However, jumping into light therapy starting with one of the more dangerous frequencies and light types just to see if it helps is a little skeery :uhoh: It's not just a big investment for the light source but you will also need proper eye protection. The little eye caps that comes with these thangs are rarely appropriate for the wavelengths used and must phototherapists require blackout glasses which would make spot treating rather tricky :whistle:
Anywho, I strongly recommend he see a dermatologist when he can and atleast git the initial light therapy done properly the first time :yes:
That said the cheapest entry into medically appropriate wavelengths is using the pHilips 9W compact fluorescent bulbs made for all those "home care" systems like ...
(https://www.psifly.com/siguie/files/philips_light.jpg)
This is the backup I keep for the unit I left at dads' :darn:
Anywho it uses 60V and 0.17A which is a little tricky to setup unless you have a variable power supply and can control voltage and current.
If you do not want to go completely DIY you can find thangs like this Ebay Link (https://www.ebay.com/itm/334150317289)
Essentially I got sumthin similar and I specifically chose Poland as the country of origin 'cuz that IS where pHilips makes the bulbs. Keeping that in mind you also need to be sure that the power supply can handle domestic standards :electrocute:
I would personally go with one of the LED systems BUT I haven't purchased one ... yet ... so I don't noes if the frequencies are accurate nor the output intensity :dunno:
The pHilips bulb on the other hand yeah I took the system into werk and managed to flash the ancient rarely used UV spectrometer with the light and it swamped the sensor but was clearly in the right zone :thumbs:
Also keep in mind certain doof and topically used kemikillz can increase light sensitivity for instance citrus oils can make a therapeutic light treatment BURN horribly and they are very common in thangs like lotions and aftershaves :yes:
OK that's my spiel :yes:
IF he was better afores starting werk then clearly it's sumthin stressing him out. This may just be normal getting the handle on the new boj type stress OR perchance a getting used to the wacky hour thang ... both of those should calm down naturally with a little time :yes: However, an alternative to treating the psoriasis symptoms could involve stress reduction therapy and/or Red or InfraRed light therapy ... you nude I would git them in here somehow 8)
SO ... :whatever: ... why bring up Red and IR light therapies ... well they are my thang and vastly safer than UVB AND while not a goto psoriasis therapy like 311nm light ... it's still known to work for psoriasis :yes:
Here's an overview How Does Red Light Therapy for Psoriasis Work? (https://www.healthline.com/health/red-light-therapy-psoriasis)
Now you will find that Red and InfraRed both work but likely due to slightly different pathways than Blue however, blue light can also be effective :yes: AND vastly safer :angel: Amemberz my DeStapHonater is a 100W Blue {450nm} and it killz stapH dead :guns: AND the whole system cost less than one pHilips replacement bulb :whistle:
There's also the whole Red and InfraRed options too AND you could talk yerself into that multi coloured LED thang which might werk :whistle:
Though no I wont recommend it cuz it's a lot of light but prolly not intense enough for psoriasis :therethere:
Anywho lots of light options and srsly Red and IR are my goto wavelengths :yes: for :b: iffen: he's just getting too stressed perchance red/ir is just what he needz :idunno:

So I axshully read the psoriasis & red light thang yesterday B.Y. (Before You :p ).
I also read quite a bit more on psoriasis & red light.
And I am quite intrigued. I also saw the blue light studies.
From my limited understanding tho the red light has to be between 150-400 watt equivalent.
Seemed like a large range. :chuckle: But the main point was high intensity :wtf: rather than puny little red LEDs.
Plus there was/is the heat factor which he would love. And the multiple people usage (Jacki's skin has lotsa issues...I just got a case of the olds. :rofl: )
This one caught my eye tho I am not ready to buy anythings yet:
https://www.amazon.com/Infrared-Therapy-Lights-Flexible-Control/dp/B08WX4MJ3J/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2A7978H6VFPXMZQ4GR8W
The psoriasis has been gradually worsening for a couple months now. I think it was the lessening daylight + too much :wine: (he's stopped that...finally) + maybe a bit of stress in the job hunting phase. So far the new boj has negligible mental/emotional stress but obliviously there IS the physical stress of having gone 0 to 90 in 6 seconds. :hysterical: Plus the working the :bat: shift when we'd been 8 or 9pm bedtimers. :chuckle:
I'd like to spend more in the $100 range to start. And even has a color change like in some of the grow lights. :broccoli:
And yes, I'd already decided the UVB was too dangerous for him to use by himself :chuckle: but even if we could find a dermatologist to administer he could not find the time. :nonono: Fwiw his former dermatologist said "We have light therapy but it's pretty much useless." :woe: He was a pharmaceutical phan who didn't believe that anything other than drugs could help.
I hear there's a better dermatologist in Murray KY. :dunno:
In other newses.... IT'S ALMOST OCTEMBER ALREADY! :faint: This year has :run:

To be fair it is nuthin to between 80 and 85% of peoplez ... a "mild" cold at worst anyways :dunno: The only thang that separates covid from the ranks of seasonal flu is the number of peoplez that will need hopsikilization and end up dying. During a regular flu season the number of deaths is around 30,000 but can range from 12k to 60k which is still a lot but for covid we are approaching 700,000 :faint:
In some respects covid is just a seasonal flu that is 10 times worse than the worst seasonal flu seasons ... only it changed and didn't go away in the summer and there are long time side effects even for those who got it just mildly ... though close to zero for vaccinated peoplez.
Anywho, yeah it sucks when others cannot see the urgency :therethere: and Kathryn was really very well spoken :yes: she did her and her profession proud :beerme:
I unerstanz the people who say NO :nonono: and I unerstanz the ones who are busy and didn't git around to being vaccinated 'cuz they thought they was safe enough :yes: The ones I do not unerstanz are the ones who say "they will git the jab" but still have questions :woe: :roll: :wall: srsly google or call the vaccination centers they'll answer yer questions :buttkick:
Well today I was srsly tired and slept in even past my usual 2pm wake up :yawn: BUT it does feel like :fall: Today may be the first day I don't has to cool siguie manor down ... k maybe I'll open a window but it's not bad :thumbs:

Oh I heard Biden gotted Pfizer boosted :thumbs: so that's a thang now :yes: Moderna an J&J are likely a few weeks away :drama:
In the meantime I'll prolly git a seasonal flu vaccine :yes:

:woe: Not a slow day here. :frantic: Boy oh boy we/I still adjusting to :oz: , as well as me doing all the "mans' work" as well as the usual "womans' work"
And energies are still :wtf::crazyeyes::wtf::crazyeyes::wtf::crazyeyes::wtf::crazyeyes::wtf:
I gots a little :bee: :book:
So this after noon I was mowing & I got stung :bee: :wtf:
The. Most. Intense. pain I ever felt for about 3-5 minutes (felt like hours :chuckle: )
I gotted stung on the tip of my nose :onoes: ,just left of center over my left nostril. :uhoh:
The pain was SUDDEN....and extreme. And I raced the mower to the nursery and :run: to the house.
By this time my eyes were running, my nose was running. My nose felt :missing: from my face & the pain radiated to the sinuses & 3rd eye. She nailed me good. :bee: :righton: The stinger was buried in the thin skin of my nose. :eek:
Once I got the stinger out the pain eased fairly quickly. :sigh: <-----relief but the swelling of the nose & upper lip was rapid. :wtf:
I now looked like a boxer who'd been KO'd. :faint:
So I put a baking soda paste on, took a couple of homeopathic pills, a generic Claritin (had no benadryl & the internet said claritin worked too) and got some ice for the now throbbing but oddly not painful nose & upper lip. :om:
Then, after a few minutes, I went back to mow. I only had about 45 minutes to go & I felt fine other than hasing a lip that looked like it had way too many injections of botox or collagen or whatever it is that puffs them up. :kiss:
After mowing & showering (about 2 hours post sting) the swelling had spread to my cheeks & forehead (of a forehead can swell :rofl: ) & even my scalp was thenthitive. :huh: I now looked like a chipmunk. :wtf: I went from chipmunk look to "who let her out of the hospital like that?" look. :rofl:
Now it's nearly 6 hours post sting & my lip is down to about 20% of where it was but my cheeks are still puffed & the nose is quite sore, as if bruised.
Funny though as I was mowing with the huge upper lip (looking quite pouty) I could hear :windy: just laughing & laughing & laughing.
:hysterical:
I did read that :bee: venom is highly anti-inflammatory. :cheer:
And also lots & lots of :bee: legend & lore all of it quite positive. :bee:
And I read that the one, single most painful place to get stung is on the :nose: :woe:
I agree, :faint:
End :book:

"I did read that :bee: venom is highly anti-inflammatory. :cheer: "
:woe: ya red WRONG :slap: Srsly you took an antihistamine {aka antiinflammatory} to alleviate an anti-inflaming :bee: sting 'cuz that made sense :roll:
Inflammation isn't one thang it's many and is really only dangerous when it becomes a runaway cascade of reactions. Also :bee: venom contains numerous and varied bioactive compounds ALL are unpleasant :yes: I'm pretty sure yer confusing the apitherapy for rheumatoid arthritis with generic antiinflammatorying or you noes just general :woo:
Anywho I can sympathize :therethere: :bee: stings suck :unthumbs: Though one of the reasons I likes the idea of :bee: herding is I don't react much to stings :nono: It'll swell up a doog bit but about 2 hours after the stinger is removed my skin is more or less normal agin :oz:
Dang so what did you does to offend this :bee: most times they wont sting you 'cuz it's kind of a last resort thang :whistle:

There's that nose! :bsl:
I most certainly read correctly. :buttkick:
All I read was this:
SUMMARY
Bee venom has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and may benefit the health of your skin and immune system. It may also improve certain medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and chronic pain.
on a google page. :rofl:
Just now I read this: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/bee-venom#benefits
becuz I am still swole!!! :dangjustdang:
Though I also read that nose/face stings could take up to 48 hours for the swelling to go down.
It's been about 17 hours.
And I obliviously got too close with the mower. :ashamed: Without protection (jacket/veil).
They doesn't like motors. Maybe they think it a GIANT :bee: ? :rofl:
And yes, the guards will chase you away if you're on foot :aaahhh: ....and they will sting your :butt:, er.... (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) if you're on a buzzing mower. :woe:

Oh & I forgottted to add that this is the first time I ever swoled up from a :bee: sting.
I am like you, :sigster: , in that I typically swell slightly, about the diameter of a quarter, and it's gone within an hour or so. :wiggle:

...
Iffen you beelieve :bee: stings are anti inflammatory then why you take antihistamine :dunno: Also iffen you swell up quarter sized why would you beelieve the no inflammatory bit :woe:
Srsly there's just a bit of sumthin in the multitude of components that makes people with really bad rheumatoid arthritis hurt less :therethere:
Think of it like eating vegetation lovingly dipped in pesticides :wubsigh: there's some doog nutrition in there :yes: ya noes in theory ... according to websites anywho :dunno:
:flyball:
Yeah :bee: stings as a rule are not doog fer you :nono: :buttkick:
Oh and it may be the :egg: haust but I thunked :bee: s didn't like the sound of a motors hum :dunno:
Also guard :bee: s are purty doog about giving warnings like angry flybys 'n ffuts :dunno: also I aint neber been stung near a hive mostly accidentally stepping on a bee coming out of the pool. They are always gathering water when we was swimming then :boom:
Oh yeah that page of images was designed to be dragged and dropped AND it used to include the image tags with the droppage :angel:
Unfortunately some browsers didn't like it :hmm:
It's sorta like the way I made it so iffen you select text with smilies here, you can drag 'n drop into what you are typing and the smilies will still werk :yes: ... mostly ... anywho :oz:

Well it looks like the whurld is getting ready to "Live with covid" :sofa:
Srsly Singapore has 80+% peoplez vaccinated and they've decided eberythang is open agin and people will just have to learn to live with covid. Norway too though their vaccination rate is less :yes:
To be fair this is about the correct time :yes: I'd wait until kids are vaccinated but what does I noes :dunno: For the most part 2 years is purty much the play out period for a pandemic AND for the most part {new variants not included} covid is on its last legs :yes:
Essentially once you factor vaccine effectiveness in covid is little more than a moderate seasonal flu. Particularly susceptible peoples should has and will continue to need vaccines and boosters but I can see why countries are saying what they is saying :yes:
In the meantime there is a big covid related natural gas shortage and with winter fast approaching there are gonna be :shiver: issues :uhoh:

Idaho. :woe:
It feels better here. :yes: I noes that sounds :crazy: but it feels as tho we've peaked. And I gots no more sick cousins. :chuckle:
But does you foresee another big wave? :wave:
We are going to the Grizzlies home opener. :cheer: They are requiring vaccinations or negative test. :check:
And we will be 3 rows from the floor, less packed like sardines. :yes: And sadly (or not depending on how you look at it) it appears they won't be close to capacity cuz so many many are not/will not be vaccinated.
Jacki keeps pushing for a booster. :faint: I called the health department to see if they could do half doses but :nonono:
They has Pfizer only, & authorized dosage only. As much as I DID want her to get boosted (after reading about Pfizer's drop off in Israel) I am now less insistent becuz of the virusness we all had a month ago. THe nurse at the health department said Jacki's fever was "nothing out of the ordinary" & that "many people she knew of had similar reactions" Then she said, quite matter-of-factly, "You're gonna get the flu. Period. But it's gonna be over real quick." :chuckle:
Can y'all freakin believe it's Octember already??? :faint:
This pandemic timeline is a real findmuck. I mean...early 2020, like when we went on the crooze... seems like it was this year, not nearly 2 years ago. It's kinda like Rip Van Winkley. :zzzz: As if 2020-2022 was 'out of time' somehow. :spiral: Hard to esplain but we are definitely off the linear track. :yes:

"But does you foresee another big wave? :wave: "
I aint no :mina: :buttkick:
And No :nono: this should be the last even with "most" new variants ... unless the thang changes so completely as to be like a new virus and evade vaccines and recovered immunities it's basically game ober for covid :yes:
There will however be hotspots but those will almost certainly be small unvaccinated populations OR ya noes other countries :whistle: The main thang will be to continue boostering atleast once a year until it really is gone :buttkick: :bye:
Why does that study from Israel worry you so much? :scratch: It literally sed what was :egg: pected to happen happened :dunno: Yer antibodies fade without constant :egg: posure ... it's ok it's a thang it happens :therethere: Yes, I would like dad to has a booster and J ack i too BUT neither prolly "need" it :nono: The difference between getting a booster and not is almost certainly the difference between little or no symptoms and suffering through a minor cold. The odds of hopsikilization is far closer to zero than even 1% :angel:
Also while a smaller dose may mean minorer symptoms it's not a guarantee :nono: those symptoms are evidence that enough antigen was given that her body noticed and :bump: ed up defenses appropriately. For some people that is ALWAYS gonna happen 'cuz that's how their body does thangs :yes:
Also keep in mind that with the mRNA vaccines there are NO actual virus antigens being :deliverance: into her body :nono: It's basically a way to make some of her cells generate the antigen internally {the spike cells} to which her body subsequently responds with specific antibodies.
Half a dose or full dose of vaccine just generates a certain amount of antigen and how her body responds generates the side effect symptoms ... maybe a smaller dose will generate fewer symptoms OR maybe not :dunno: ... for the most part people appear to has the same side effects as dose 2, which was generally more intense or worser than dose 1. In other wurdz vaccine volume may not mean what you think it meanz :therethere:
Anywho, I'm gonna keep wearing a mask and UVC :vibes: for packages and groceries along with ozone blasting :boom: Atleast until after dad gits his booster AND I might go for a Moderna vaccine :angel: Places here require vaccine proof and I gotted mine all sneaky like so either I has to ask friend to sneak me into the database or just git another full on vaccine which I'm ok with :matt:

The thang to keep in mind is that in severe cases it's not just a bunch of covid spiky ballz floating around causing the damage AND these antibodies much like regular antibodies produced by the immune system only effect spiky ball covid bits :yes: It's always helpful to reduce the number of spiky ballz but in severe cases like when lungs are being pneumoniaed it don't help that bit :nono:

I has a silly question... :asilly:
How do they know it reduces hospitalizations by 70%?
I mean...how do you know how many would have been hospitalized if they hadn't had Regeneron?
:papa: always replied, when axed if a medicine made him feel better..."I dunno. I don't know how I would have felt if I hadn't taken the drug." :yes:
As for Israel...I forgot :woe: You already once made me feel better about that. :righton:
It was just that they had REAL data. And it was ALL Pfizer. And it showed efficacy in the teens after 6 months. :yes:
Much worserer than Moderna.
But then you esplained the memory part of the mRNA & I relaxed. :yes:
And then we (she, especially) gotted sick & now I even more relaxed. :chuckle:
That being said, she still pushes for the 3rd shot even tho she knows the side effects may be similar.
So she may do it next week. :yes: Or not. :rofl:
You definitely need to get a Moderna so you can be legal. :chuckle:
That, or move into the petri dish of the country. :hayseed: :rofl:
I saw a headline that referred to the southern US as a "kill box". In reference to the lack of masks or vaxes or distancing.
Anyway...:b: is off this weekend. :cheer: He's worked 23 of the 25 days since he started. :faint: 78 hours last week. :faint:

Yup there's :bean: a lot of BIG :quake: s recently but they are the 500+km deep ones :scratch:
But still 7.3 is a BIG one :sofa:
"I has a silly question... :asilly:
How do they know it reduces hospitalizations by 70%?"
Oh easy :yes: Regeneron is a biotech company that specializes in doing ebery thang quick ... for realz :yes: it's their thang and they are ALWAYS running a dozen or more clinical trials 'cuz that's the fastest way to :check: thangs. As for their antibody cocktail they register tens of thousands of patients that come in with mild or middling covid, give them their ffuts and send them home 'cuz they don't need ICU care at that time :nono: IF they come back then the antibodies didn't werk doog enough :drama:
Thangs changed with Delta BUT with original covid the sadistics was just spot on :thumbs: ... of those people who came in to a hopsickle with mild to middling covid roughly 75% would be fine just sent home but about 25% would develop some form of respiratory distress within 1 to 2 weeks and need to be admitted to the ICU. So with thousands of test subjects they gave half real antibodies and the other faux-bodies and counted how many came back from each side :oz:
This is also why monoclonal antibodies is only prescribed for mild to middling covid ... 'cuz them patients could be treated and sent home while still in doog condition. Severe covid patients were not tested on ... or atleast not as much 'cuz they are trickier and more likely to die and ruin the study.
As it turns out 70% of peoplez who woulda come back didn't and they didn't without dying which is a medical plus :thumbs: That 70% being people who woulda but now didn't need ICU is a big number when pandemicalizing so :boom: #1 Treatment :cheer: :ura: :beerme:
Another nice thang to note about this is that ANY virus that someone beat naturally can has the specific antibodies for that virus replicated and turned into monoclonal antibodies using Regeneron's VelociSuite™ which is the big sellaging point :yes: So theoretically if variant X or Y is more worser as long as someone survives it, Regeneron can isolate the effective antibody{s} using VelociSuite then throw the B-cells into a bioreactor and :boom: monoclonal antibodies for new variant.
Ideally this can be used for regular seasonal viruses but unfortunately it takes too long to figure out which the dominant virus is gonna :bee: and by the time it takes to generate the appropriate antibodies the flu season is ober :sigh: Still for thangs like ebola this is purty useful :thumbs:
Yeah a booster shot is a doog idea in theory but you need to balance the risk with the gain. For dad being a little tired for one day is not bad :nono: for J ack i with a potential 103°F temperature in the land without ICU beds ... that could be a concern :whistle:
Oh and on average people lose 12% of their antibodies every 2 months as tests showed but that's easier to amemberz as about 5% per month :whistle: ... and that's purty normal :yes:
The only advantage to hasing antibodies roaming around is to ward off reinfection or lower the viral load of an initial infection which gives the body more time to rally it's immune forces. IF you are still wearing masks the initial viral load will likely be very small anyways so there's not a big benefit so it's kinda a hard call.
Oh and natural immunity is definitely longer lasting :yes: it's not 13 times betterer like some places claim :nono: but yeah yer prolly the lone durt island in an ocean of covid :thumbs:
:pissed: K tried to schedule a Moderna jab but they are no longer scheduling it's all Walk Ins only and they tellz you what yer getting when you is there :no:
:sigh:
:kickcan:

IF you are still wearing masks the initial viral load will likely be very small anyways so there's not a big benefit so it's kinda a hard call.
Oh and natural immunity is definitely longer lasting :yes: it's not 13 times betterer like some places claim :nono: but yeah yer prolly the lone durt island in an ocean of covid :thumbs:
:pissed: K tried to schedule a Moderna jab but they are no longer scheduling it's all Walk Ins only and they tellz you what yer getting when you is there :no:
:sigh:

:horn: :asiel: I suspect this is kinda what you've been looking for ... Interim Estimates of COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Against COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7037e2-H.pdf) :angel:
However, it is a little tech :nickel: and purty dry :unthumbs: so here is a youtube video that basically asplains it ...
Vaccine Efficacy Versus Delta Variant: Real World Data (COVID 19 Update 129) (https://youtu.be/rA-sCLJO2P4) :angel:
Basically in the end it shows that yer best bet for avoiding a hopsickle completely is Moderna :thumbs: BUT no matter what vaccine you git of the top 3 in the US anyways, yer hopsickilization chances are soooo small that it really depends more on :egg: treme age {75+} or other comorbidities.
That said one thang that is missing is the odds of avoiding death based on vaccine choice. The reason for that is even with thousands of patients from 9 different states, the fact that vaccinated patients do much better in the hopsickle leaves insufficient numbers for the study. aka not enough vaccinated people died :yesss:
Sadly for me though gladly for eberyone who didn't die ... I cannot find enough data to support my main supposition on the J&J vaccine ... essentially that J&J is better at stopping covid death. As in you are more likely to contract covid and even more likely to git covid AND be hopsickilized BUT iffen I unerstood the data correct {which I might of skrewed up :dunno: } the end result is J&J better at making people not die AND more effective over a broader range {aka more variants}.
Anywho the closest thang I could find to evidence was a Bloomberg blurb ...
Oh and yeah it's never as doog as the mRNA vaccines but it's effects last longer ... that and the no death part were the main reasons I chose it PLUS only one shot meant I wouldn't has to sneak around back agin :whistle:

Quote from: BloombergThe single-dose shot was 71% effective against hospitalization and as much as 96% effective against death, she said. It also demonstrated durability of eight months.

So hop on a plane & land in Tanasi.
Go to any Walgreens or Walmart & there you will find a Moderna vaccine with no waiting. :wiggle:
Then ya gotta come back in 3 or 4 weeks of course. :pie:
:thanks: for all the info.
I'm gonna believe we are almost out of the woods. :treehug:
But now what abouts flu shots? Any recommend on timing?
J & I haven't had flu shots in many many years but B has...through work.
The year he gotted scary sick from the flu while on Cosentyx made him get a flue shot every year thereafter.
But she & I never got it. :nonono:
Elsewise...

I called a Safeway and their pHarmacy is shooting people :guns: with Moderna BUT Costco is jabbing with Moderna and/or J&J PLUS they has the cheapest seasonal flu shot at $20 :thumbs:
So perchance I'll git double tapped with the flu shot and another covid jab :hmm2: This has :bean: Okeedokeeed and would make things simple too :yes:
The thang about the seasonal Flu is no one noes what's gonna happen :nono: Not only are there fewer non covid viruses floating around no one unerstanz if a flu season will include a new virus and/or what will happen with a dual infection :sofa:
Think of it like this ... corona virus are traditionally slower to mutate than other viruses which is lucky for us BUT the Delta is also very doog at spreading ... so what happens when two virus infect a person at once. Assume one is covid which is an enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus ... the answer :dunno: but it's not gonna be doog :nonono:
The thang is there are 3 types of viral containers Enveloped being the one used by covid.
Positive and Negative "sense" covid which is positive can be read as mRNA and directly encode viral proteins. Negative sense viri require reading to create the protein templates.
Single Stranded is the norm but there are some double stranded RNA viruses like Rotavirus 'n such.
Lastly most viruses are RNA based but there are also DNA based viruses like herpes, smallpox and such and agin single or double stranded varieties.
Anywho that's a quick viral overview ... all viruses make use of your cells replicating pathways and or steps. So the question what would happen with a covid+friend infection :dunno: but I cannot imagine anything doog :sofa:
Right now there is a decent to middling chance that there basically will not be a flu season this year kinda like last year on account of covid keeping people away from each other, masked and generally wary and isolated. This also means the "best guess" flu vaccine choices of which there are now four in each flu shot may be less than optimal OR maybe the lesser number of flu virus choices makes the flu vaccine better than normal :dunno:
Anywho, I purty much ALWAYS git a flu shot :yes: it's like ebery vaccine ... sure it "may" help you but the idea is to help eberyone. In my case mainly dad so even if it isn't absolutely needed and may not even be particularly effective it "might" save a life ... most likely some stranger but perchance you, a friend, fambily member or lubed one :angel:
Anywho other than an occasionally bruised feeling at the jab site I neber git noticeable side effects :nono: So I figurez I prolly should and regularly does :oz:

but a coworker is now sick with fever, runny nose and scratchy throat
the second time in 4 weeks
:sigh: his family gotted sick like that too
none on work so far

Also it looks like the weather patterns they are a changing :no: and my guess is by next week we'll start seeing winter-ish patterns :sofa:
K mostly this just means I has to does some touch ups and outdoor weatherization PLUS maybe goto homedepot and pickup some pipe covers to keep my water pipes cozy :oz:

The FULL :book: in the Interesting thread :oz:
While I was :bee: ing shot at :guns: and waiting to see iffen I anapHalaxated :faint: I thunked up an idea for a NOT 3D printed sharpening rig :yes:
I cannot think of a reason why it wouldn't werk :dunno: ... it would be a per knife rig as in only the same width knife or knives would werk BUT how hard could it be? :idunno: that's what I thunk so I'll has to try and see iffen it werks :yes:
Just thought I'd point out this pikture ...
(https://psifly.com/cr2/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=26298.0;attach=9992;image)
... is the reason you should stop and rest after an injury :chuckle: It's a little like the gravitational bruising/pooling thang where the swelled fluids from the original injury site flows down to someplace lower. One difference here is that the fluid itself is likely inducing swellaging in other areas :therethere:

And :cheer::cheer: for inspiration in 15 minutes of stillness. :om: :chuckle:
So energies were (& still somewhat are) quite hyper & active yesterday. :frantic:
I went on a cleaning tear after B left where I channeled my inner :windy:
& couldn't stop even though my body was screaming to stop. :wtf:
I feels a serious de-cluttering & re-balancing coming on... :sparkle: :balance: :sparkle:
As for the stoppaging after the :bee: sting... :ashamed:
After removing the stinger, applying some baking soda paste, putting ice on it for 15 or so minutes...
I went back & finished mowing. :ashamed: At that time my bottom lip was :missing: as the top was so huge.
And then shower, made salads, & sat down. :faint: It continued to swell for another couple hours or more. :wtf:
I though surely when I awoke the next morning it would be gone but :nonono: :faint:
It began subsiding the second day & took til the 3rd for the last bit of chipmunk cheeks to go. :eek:
Seriously tho...til that point I never had much more than a puny :skeeter: welt. :nonono:
And sometimes no swelling at all.
Now I can BE the :bee:

Blackbirds, blackbirds, blackbirds! :frantic:
3rd day in a row now. :huh:
The past 2 days they've been in the trees over behind the Dance Hall. Across the street. :chuckle:
But just now they were in the trees just behind the house. :huh:
I was in my hammock chair when I heard them first... Squawk, squawk, squawk. Chatter, chatter, chatter. :huh:
Then I saw that the trees were alive. :wtf: Flitting back & forth, to & fro.
I watched for awhile from where I was then I began slowly walking towards the back...
As I got closer I also saw 3 or 4 very active squirrels amongst the motion.
:sparkle: :squirrel: :tooshay: :sparkle:
I stood & listened for quite some time, even inching into the woods & therefore underneath the birds. :umbrella:
There was also a mockingbird near the back deck talking non-stop.
Last time I heard/saw birds like this there was a 5.something :quake: in central Indiana (or Illinois....twas about 15 years ago) the next morning. :dunno:
All I noes is I am dead tired. :splat: Eyes are blurry & legs are heavy and all day I've been following myself around. :crazyeyes:
But I made amazing :broccoli: cheddar soup. :drool:
I gathered some :rose: petals & lemon balm leaves & am tea-ing, then headed back out to sit. :flowerom:
Sit & watch the monarchs. :wub: I bet we gots 2 dozen here. :happydance:
And innerestingly, the hummingbirds are still here as well. They usually :run: by 10/5.
I figger they will book the next cold front to southerer. :wub:

:chuckle: Yes the cheeks thang and the swellaging almost certainly the result of a cytokine storm {an inflammation thang} that moobed/spread due to grabbity and you ffutsing about :yes:
As for hybrids, yeah the thang is there are plenty of people who gotted covid early on, recovered and then gotted the vaccine so the data pool is BIG and you can squeeze more reliable info out :yes: Anythang else is gonna needz more time and increased sampling sizes :whistle: BUT I noes they were hoping boosters would does the same thang :yes:
My guess is prolly not :nono: there are more antigens for yer body from a real virus vs generated antigens by mRNA vaccines. In other wurdz you git a bigger net of thangs to attack with a real virus BUT the mRNA vaccines still :bump: up the immune system so it's not clear how the super immunity werks OR how and would it with boosters :scratch:
BUT it's ineresting :share:
Oh and while maybe not :egg: actly the same but you and :michafire: speeshuilly who had covid, recovered and since then gotted the vaccine SUPER :michafire:
Then there is Pan and son who both gotted I believe covid original flavour THEN the vaccine so they is both prolly superz now :yes:
Yeah it's weird I is NOT a sprang cleaner :nono: but sumthin about :fall: always gits me throwing thangs out, declutterizing and getting ready for Winter :shiver:
Oh and I picked up a couple of king sized Pendleton sherpa blankets {King: 112 in. x 92 in. (284 cm x 233 cm)} ... costco was sellaging them for under $30 :faint:
I figure one for dad ... ya noes in case his power goes out and the :sun: doesn't shine for his solar :whistle:
I want one so I can build a pillow fort igloo :happydance: ya noes in case it gits really cold and I somehow use up a few gallons of kerosene, a couple of cases of bioethanol and ... and ... ok I just want to build an igloo :sigh:
:kickcan:
Oh the monarch :bufly: are prolly from Kanukia or atleast the upper north east ... doesing their migration south 'cuz they shoulda started in late August or September and they has very small wings that flutter slooowly so tanassi durt central is just a refueling station :yes:
Oh and I bet yer blackboidz are doesing whatever they does on account of the weather changing or more precisely the jetstream over the US looking at the 540 to 580 isobars ... they is transforming into a winter pattern and right now they are in flux :onoes: :frantic:
My guess is the transformation will be more or less fini next week :yes:
:yawn: :coffee:
Dang it's timez like these I thinxz you should really has a blog 'n weekly youtube channel :yes:
Sometimez you really post a lot :blah: :blah: :blah: which is a very doog thang :thumbs: :yes: I noes I'm surprised too :oz:
Oh and the Thursdaze covid numbers are in :yes: basically most states are roughly half where they was in the latest peak :thumbs: and the death rate is slooowly dropping though it's gonna be awhile for that :sigh: Even tanassi is doesing better :thumbs: ya noes prolly assuming accounting issues are relative :dunno:
The only two outliers of the states I track are Idaho and Pennsylvania ... Idaho is freaken skeery and their new case numbers have :bump: ed into the 60's :faint: Penn on the other hand is kinda weird :scratch: the numbers are relatively low {10%} but they keep creeping up slooowly :horror:

Oh the monarch :bufly: are prolly from Kanukia or atleast the upper north east ... doesing their migration south 'cuz they shoulda started in late August or September and they has very small wings that flutter slooowly so tanassi durt central is just a refueling station :yes:
Oh and I bet yer blackboidz are doesing whatever they does on account of the weather changing or more precisely the jetstream over the US looking at the 540 to 580 isobars ... they is transforming into a winter pattern and right now they are in flux :onoes: :frantic:
My guess is the transformation will be more or less fini next week :yes:
:yawn: :coffee:
Dang it's timez like these I thinxz you should really has a blog 'n weekly youtube channel :yes:
Sometimez you really post a lot :blah: :blah: :blah: which is a very doog thang :thumbs: :yes: I noes I'm surprised too :oz:
Oh and the Thursdaze covid numbers are in :yes: basically most states are roughly half where they was in the latest peak :thumbs: and the death rate is slooowly dropping though it's gonna be awhile for that :sigh: Even tanassi is doesing better :thumbs: ya noes prolly assuming accounting issues are relative :dunno:
The only two outliers of the states I track are Idaho and Pennsylvania ... Idaho is freaken skeery and their new case numbers have :bump: ed into the 60's :faint: Penn on the other hand is kinda weird :scratch: the numbers are relatively low {10%} but they keep creeping up slooowly :horror:
Anywho stay away from Idaho :run:

emiT . :p
Seriously, I thunk I would has more time when he went nights but so far... :frantic:
Here is my day...
Up around 6:30 or when the critters says "GET UP!!!" :rofl:
Put on tea pot, feed the ooz which is tricky cuz I gots 2 old cats on speshul diets & Snoop Dogg who only comes out of his room after Swami goes outdoors. :crazyeyes:
Feed Cookie (been making her doof to help her lose weight :crazyeyes: ground chicken or turkey/sweet potato/peas or green beans & of course a multi-vitamin)
Drink tea & check in here. :wiggle:
20-30 minutes yoga. :om:
Go outside & water most days (an hour+). Frolic with a :butterfly: or 2 & look at all the things I want to get to in the next few days.
Start cooking. B gets up at 10:00 so visit with him for a little bit.
By now Jack is usually up so most days I gotta change her sheets (old :cat: ) & put stinky ones in washer)
Pack out his lunch, make him a diner sammich (grilled cheese, fried egg, omelette roll-up) to eat on his way to work &/or a smoothie or carrot or celery/apple juice, maybe feed Jack & I, get him out the door somewheres between 12 & 12:30.
Clean up kitchen & maybe sit for a few.
Then either get J ack i showered & dressed & me showered & dressed & out for errands (yesterday) OR put on farm clothes & out to mow. :matt:
One evening I axshully cleaned inside the house & boy oh boy was it worse than I'd realized. :wtf:
I haven't yet found time to does all the things I want to does outside (gather seeds, clean out areas to plant ffutses, empty dead pots, plant perennials just sitting there, pot up some pansies, pot houseplants in water on my windowsills, etc, etc, etc :rofl: )
Then by 6 or 7 I feed J & I something (canned soup :rofl: ) & we watch a bit of bassetbawl & I go to bed & pass out! :splat:
Then I does it all over again.
Rinse & repeat. With multiple cleanups & distracts & sidebars interwoven. :hysterical:
Today tho B is off & we're both gonna mow! :happydance:
And tomorrow we're going to Reelfoot Lake with the fam...Mom, ZA, Chloe. :wiggle::wiggle::wiggle::
I'm ready for a real vacay!!! :bliss2:
I guess that's why god invented winter!

For instance I noticed there is a doog deal of youtube interest in nature ASMR and or "soft spoken" videos. Basically people vlog what they would be doesing even iffen they wasn't recording ... like going on a hike or doesing ffuts in nature like rowing a canoe or sum ffuts.
I kinda thunk :michafire: was on the right track with little videos of Germanian nature and weather :yes:
The trick appears to be regular upload once a week is best but ebery other week can werk :yes: Doog quality video of atleast 480p though 720+ is better. Mostly short 2 to 5 minutes or atleast under 10 min is best OR 20 to 30 min or 1 hour videos. The last times are for those who are doing ffutses and want some background distractions like meditators 'n such :yes:
Anywho it looks like it takes roughly 6 months to a year of weekly uploads until youtube takes you srsly BUT after that subscriptions and :thumbs: begin to spike :angel:
Anywho properly setup for commercialization you git paid $5 per 1000 views BUT you need 20k views afores youtube actually sends any monies {$100 minimum pay out}. The trick is to massage the youtube algorithm du jour which weekly uploads of short videos does after 6 months or so :angel:

Well, well, well.
Never say never.
But..
:spitcoffee:
Today we are headed here:
Reelfoot Lake State Park is located in the northwest corner of Tennessee and is noted for its fishing, boating and wildlife viewing. The 15,000 acre lake was created by a series of violent earthquakes in 1811-1812 that caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards for a short period of time, creating Reelfoot Lake.
The park's ecosystem is unlike any other place in Tennessee. Reelfoot lake is a flooded forest. While Majestic Cypress trees rise above the water, below the surface are many submerged Cypress stumps. A variety of aquatic plants and flowers occupy the shoreline and saturate the shallow water. The lake harbors almost every kind of shore and wading bird as well as golden and American bald eagles.

And no, I ain't filming today & making my life a reality show. :nonono: :rofl:
But never. Say never.

though I did do a little video at the mid point of the hike today -
I have no inclination whatsoever to actually post it anywhere now
it's a past thing for me (at the moment) to post videos and photos
AND
I'd rather enjoy the moment instead of "wasting" it recording

Also I sed it was the easiest one to does and git successful on youtube and that you two were well placed fer such. I neber said either of you would, should or could pulls it off :nono:

Ooooh New Madrid seismic zone :happydance: and playing on the Reelfoot fault taboot :woohoo: srsly very intriguing geology there AND it should be ready to :boom: at any time :yesss: Unfortunately I thinxz the sackungen are closer to the Mississippi :darn: They is the change in the land caused by massive strike-slip fault motion ... they is basically the folds :oz:
It's no doubt too late BUT even iffen yer not recording :drama: that's a place where my favourite siguie brand Tasker app for :check: ing magnetic fields would be perfect :yes: Srsly espeeshully with the faults stress levelz it would be very cool to hike around and git magnetometer readings :elfparty: or ya noes you can always just wing it :woo: style :sigh:

Too late, time stamp :sigster: :rofl:
But we were about 4 miles as the crow flies from the Mississippi. In 2 places cuz it gets real windy up in there. :eek:
And yes, the land gets ripply, as I called it. I dint know there is a geologic term for the ripples.
It's also seriously fertile farmland. With manmade bluffs half a mile from the river bluffs to protect farmland those times when the waters get real real real high. :uhoh:
It was a beautiful day. :bliss: :sun: :bliss:
But the bestest part were the :butterfly: :butterfly: :butterfly: MONARCHS!
Hundreds....no thousands :wubsigh: Thousands of monarchs at the gardens of the marina/restaurant/cabins where we ate lunch.
The doof was overpriced & not very doog, but the atmosphere (outside on the lake) was magnificent & the monarchs were worth any price. :bliss2:
They had an acre or 2 of pollinator habitat gardens. Many many milkweeds, butterfly bushes, lantana, chaste trees, & lots lots more. And there were literally thousands of monarchs there all :butterfly: ing around. :wub:
The owner man said they always have "a lot" but this year there were many many more than he'd ever seen before. :happydance:
Sadly tho, the family photog :b: , had a phone/camera crisis. :dangjustdang:
His phone (Samsung A50) locked up completely...would not shut off, would not do anything.
A quick search said to hold the volume down & off buttons for 15 seconds. :check:
Factry reset!!! :no:
So not only could he not take photos he lost a :carp2b: ton that he had taken earlier in the year. And no, he doesn't think he was backed up in the :cloud: :sigh:
This morning he was trying jail breaking & some various app assistance, but no success yet.
2 different apps said he had to pay $79 to get the full capability. A price worth paying IF he knew for sure that the photos are still there available for retrieval.
Elsewise we got :blowme: Big big :blowme:

:horn: STOP!
IF you/he want to recover the pHotos you need to stop messing with the pHone :sofa:
Deleted files are not really "deleted" the areas used by the file data is just just mooved into the registry of space available for writing new data. The more you mess with or just has the pHone on the more likely you are to destroy the data you are looking for.
Basically there is a FAT {File Access table} where a file name is stored and the location of the file data is attached. When a file is deleted the name is removed but the data is still where it was left. SO there are :egg: actly two ways to recover deleted files UnDelete the name in FAT or scan ALL storable apparently free areas for data then convert that data into file types baed on best guesses.
Jailbreaking is the iOS equivalent of rooting which is admirable but will prolly :brick: his pHone and almost certainly destroy a lot of data.
Best option is Do NOT Touch the ipHone, pay the :egg: tortion on those speeshul programs OR take your pHone to a non-Apple store that fixes ipHonez 'cuz they prolly does what you want all the time :yes:
Um I thunked he had android? :scratch:
Android is much easier and cheaper to recover lost data :yes:
:doh: yeah well after more than a hunert years the geology has weathered quite a bit :sigh: but it's very very cool when you realize that at :egg: treme pressures rocks can deform like a wet sponge and bend. Anywho the result is a lot like iffen ya put a towel on a flat surface and then put your hands in the midle and moved one up and the other down. You git ripples, now iffen ya moobe one hand closer to the other ya git ripples creeping over other ripples. Aka a "right-lateral strike-slip fault zone with a left stepover restraining bend" the best known :egg: ample being the Reelfoot reverse fault :oz:

I saysed... Samsung A50. That's Android. No :apple: s :rofl:
He is apposta be getting an iPhone at work any day now so I suggested we take his old one in to DangIt...the repair dudes in Jackson. :yes:
His Android was in the dying process anyway. :yes: And his lesson was in not removing the pics cuz he knew his phone was dying.
It was not taking a charge easily & not holding it once it was charged up. It was also overheating just by being in his pocket. I had axshully researched new phones for him on more than one occasion but :nonono: he wasn't ready. :chuckle:
And yes, Reelfoot is a remarkable place. I :wish: we'd had more time & been able to really explore. :yes:

"Read much? " :woe:
Do you even :lbrain: :gaah:
You cannot Jailbreak an android pHone that's only done for iPhones :buttkick:
Um ya noes I literally root eberythang I git right? Also I helped ghostghurl un :brick: her phone when her attempt at an auto-root went horribly awry :whistle: Srsly there's a bunches of posts about it.
Anywho his pHone sounds fine, it's almost certainly the battery :yes: He prolly left his pHone in tanassi :sun: hellweather too long/often or charged it when it was still warm. Batteries are very senthetive espeeshully lithium polymer types :yes: that's why they need speeshul care under thermally challenging conditions :angel:
Anywho android pHonez first need to be UnLocked then a new bootloader uploaded THEN you can root :yes: BUT the process mostly wipes what was on the pHone so NOT what ya want :nono:
Oh and go to androidauthority.com for ALL yer rooting needz :thumbs:
As for Reelfoot yeah that would be a nuf place to does some hiking and digging and get :electrocute: and magnetometer readings. Being close to the Mississippi and the whole underwater system in that area I betcha there's all sorts of cool anomalies :bliss:
Oh I'm talking psience and not the knuckleheads :woo: ing out or nuthin :nono:
:yawn: :coffee:
Is it Thursdaze? It feelz like a thusdazed day :zanna:

Anywho, the tallied results always git released Thursdaze but thangs are definitely looking up :thumbs: That said I suspect it's going to be atleast another year before covid is gone :buttkick: ed and that's assuming no new variants ... but likely most states will have covid smoldering at 1% to 2% which of course means occasional local flare ups :sigh:

it was left upper wisdom tooth -
hamster cheek already after 4h;
icing didn't help - as as soon as the ice was removed it swelled a little more....
today though it's only half a hamster cheek :happydance:
no pain (and zero bleeding right away) but the first few hours after the extraction
:dunno: guess resting/staying in bed nearly all day was best
even the :sun: is resting
:sunhug: only a little

:cheer: for half a hamster cheek. :chuckle:
And for resting. :cheer: What a luxury. Too bad we gotta get sick or has teef pulled to be able to fully justify real resting. :sigh:
So I gotta go out & move potted plants today. :flex: The tropical-est of the potteds like mandevillas & bouganvillas & dracaena & more. Time to determine who comes in & who goes in the nursery cuz I'd rather not move them more than once. Thankfully, it's just a cold front & not a frost or else I'd hafta move100+ plants instead of 20ish big ones. :clap:
So get this...yesterday we wented to Jackson with the girls. :elfparty: J ack i got a new tablet...a Samsung, NOT an iPad! :p :chuckle: I was walking down a sidewalk towards Shoe Carnival at around 3PM when my phone rang. It was :b:
Short version:
He & 2 other guys SUDDENLY got asked to go to Louisville Dana to offer "salaried support" like right NOW! :frantic:
So he had to scurry home & scramble up a packed bag & head out last night (about a 5 hour trip). He texted at 11:03 to say he was in his hotel room safe & sound. :sparkle: I'm really not sure when he will be home. :chuckle: Sunday or Monday maybe.
All I knows is they offered these 3 guys an extra $500 & another vacay day on top of the OT pay and of course, expenses, so they all said um...ok! :rofl: Their factry is semi-idle due to the microchip situation.
I was sorry I wasn't home to help him get packededed, but he is quite capable & obliviously got out the door cuz he ain't here. :rofl:
So now...
we vacay. :chuckle:
J & I are going to the Jackson International Food & Art Festival tomorrow. :elfparty:

"icing didn't help - as as soon as the ice was removed it swelled a little more...."
:woe: Oh yes it did :yes: next time don't ice and see what happens :muaha:
Srsly icing is a BIG help but it's also a compromise. It slooows the healing process while suppressing the swellaging BUT in the beginning it's worth it :yes: Less pain, less bleeding, less cytokine storming, overall less non-healing debris to clean up :thumbs: After ... heating espeeshully infrared and or alternating :heat: :shiver: ... the latter helps moob the fluids :yes:
Oh ideally pre-icing the location afores :egg: traction is bestest BUT there is the chance of stalling the healing system. All that swellaging ffuts includes signals to other body bits to hurry up and start reconstruction :angel:
Anywho yes it helped :buttkick:

Ooooh Samsung tablets they is nice :yes: I quite like their 10.4" galaxy tab :thumbs: but I'd just root it and void the warranty :sigh: So I went with the Fire tablets they is durt cheap a few times a year :yesss: And iffen I git tired I can just root it and install LineageOS :oz:
By the way more boosters :rstars: ... also one thing to note between Pfizer and Moderna ... Pfizer's jab contains 30 micrograms of the bits that do the werk, while Moderna uses 100 micrograms or over 3 times as much and BOTH git roughly the same effectiveness.

22 pages? :wha: :crazyeyes:
That's a lot for me to read :chuckle: but not a lot for a true pandemic plan.
But I notice the word plan is often used to describe a general inclination or intention. A vague list of squishy goals.
In government, in business, in institutions.
Boy oh boy how Travelling Aunt loved to plan events & outings. :wub: :rofl:
She was a precision planner. :check:
Anyway...I came to :horn: report!
:faint:
The squeeeeeeeealing is quite voluminous, if that's a word. :laugh:
And my crown has been abuzz. :wtf: <---vibrating, not wtf
J ack i is sitting beside me yawning, yawning, yawning. :huh:
The critters are invisible. :huh: Like all off hiding which is crazy unusul. 3-5 of them are always on top of or beside us.
We went out to eat with Mom & ZA & 3 different times I had brief hellos to people I did not know & got goosebumps. :huh:
Twice while out last night & tonight I saw license plates with 555 on them. :wub: :windy: and also simply change :nickel:

It does feel like a metaphorical storm is a brewin. :sofa:
The cold front storm blew through here last night & seemed to not do damage as far as I can see except for the Mexican Sunflower which is foldeded in half. :candle: Yesterday morning that plant was COVERED with monarchs. I had a feeling they'd be gone today & I hope I'm right since their favorite food source is pretty much kaput. :faint:
A raise would be awesome! :cheer: He's axshully been planting seeds about becoming a process engineer.
Maybe a move such as that would come with more monies. :yes: :righton:
But for now he says he's getting paid to vacay. :hysterical: All he is doing is standing & watching peoples work.
And he only works 6-2 today & tomorrow & will be home tomorrow night. :clap:
But today.... J & I is off to play. :bliss2:
Headed to the Jackson International Food & Art Festival. :elfparty:

:dunno:
the swelling seems not to be from the extraction itself,
but rather from pulling the side of the mouth/cheek away
so the doctor could do the work.
still a quarter hamster cheek - and now slightly blue close to the mouth area
the jaw/tooth extraction place had no swelling at all
waiting till Thursday,
and then the threads come out .........

Quote from: spaceweatherCO-ROTATING INTERACTION REGION: Geomagnetic unrest is possible on Oct. 18-19 when a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. CIRs are transition zones between fast- and slow-moving streams of solar wind. Sharp, shock-like density gradients and enhanced magnetic fields in CIRs often do a good job sparking Arctic auroras.

But maybe it's just becuz he is old enough to not pose a threat anymore. :dunno:

I figured I broke it. :rofl:
But...get this...
we were at the hospital yesterday. B's heart started racing again...the chest pressure...and he just felt 'off'.
So we went to the ER just to be safe. EKG, x-ray, bloodwork were all lamron.
But he seriously feels something is wrong. That he has blockages.
And his recent cholesterols from a work health screen support his feelings. :yes:
For :siguie: 's sake(reference ranges in parentheses)... LDL 137 (<100) MCHC 31.8 (32-36) Non-HDL 175 (<130)
total cholesterol 219 (125-199) total protein 6.0 (6.1-8-1) Triglycerides 234 (<150) VLDL 46.8 (<30) Cholesterol/hdl ratio 5.0 (<5.0)
BP 140/72
Everything else was lamron. Those were all in red.
So yeah, the hereditary artery cloggers seem to be at work. :sigh:
He sees a cardiologist in Nashville on 11/1. :)
And FRUIT! :happydance: Last summer he kept saying he was becoming a fruititarian. :chuckle:
Today he left for work with a mixed fruit smoothie made with Greek yogurt, soy milk, agave & frozen fruit.
It's still strange tho cuz the 'episodes', which are sporadic & often after physical exertion but not always, pretty much began when he knows he injured himself lifting tables at the nursery. Last December. But the injury does not esplain the racing heart episodes.
Anyway...11/1 in Nashville or wait til end of November to see him in Paris. :crazyeyes:

Fine :hmm:
I called up bluehost and as :egg: pected they :bump: ed my request up to the next level ... so I has a case number requesting the modsecurity_audit.log ... with a little luck it will tell me what rule{s} you is violating :club: and I can write a bypass for them 'cuz presumably there are others hasing that problem :dunno:
Anywho 24 to 48 hours :gaah:
You'd think a server host that installs security :carp: without telling anyone would atleast have the error logs in the persons account :wall:
Yeah so about :b: yeah genetics is a hard :blob: to beat into submission :whip: :therethere:
K overall the only real "bad" is the LDL at 137 BUT the numbers don't make sense :scratch: though if I assume the ratio is correct then
his HDL at 44 or there abouts :hmm2: eberythang else while not doog is really only borderline :dunno:
Ok the triglycerides are high and HDL should be above 60 and while the triglyceride numbers may be due to high LDL it's morelikely a result of his new sleepy time regimen. Lack of sleep can :bump: triglycerides as well as lower HDL.
That said lack of sleep is just another form of body "stress" and I still think that's his main issue :yes:
K I recommend looking at turmeric, neem leaf, nitric oxide boosters and black currant ... and the :heart: doctor will no doubt suggest fish oil which is doog but I recommend Krill oil over
As you has no doubt guessed I've :egg: perimented with all of these and for me there's no oblivious change BUT I am :siguie: and nigh perfect in ALL ways that count ...
:wwsd:
That said here are the thangs I've ordered from Amazon that I think are doog value for those who may has need of their healthful properties ... ALL with my Amazon Associate Links :yes:
Oh as for Krill oil ... I get it from Costco also ONLY take it afore meals ... srsly nuthin worse than a krill oil burp :ashamed:
Oh here for quick reference Healthline - 5 Ways Nitric Oxide Supplements Boost Your Health and Performance ... yer mostly shooting for #3 but the others are doog too. Also while it isn't completely clear in the article ... nitric oxide supplements werk relatively quickly at reducing blood pressure ... like 2 to 5 hours kinda quick BUT should be taken daily for overall reduction :yes:
Oh it also looks like :b: has somewhat low blood protein ... I don't know what proteins they are BUT iffen it's albumin then he needz more :cow: stat ... k prolly not :burger: or steak but more protein ... 'cuz this is a classic issue with vegeterrestrialz :uhoh: Also albumin helps with the blood pumping :flex: Iffen it's other proteins then perchance it's doog that it's not too high like platelets 'n ffuts :dunno:

The problem is that when the UK added the sugar tax ... this ffuts got super :egg: pensive so they added tons of fake sugar only they chose yucky bad fake sugar :wall: I no longer drink my beloved Ribena :bye: :tissue: Instead I make my own with ...

Anywho it contains GLA {aka γ-Linolenic acid} which from the article ... "Blackcurrant is high in potassium and GLA, which can help lower your blood pressure too. The GLA also helps cells in your heart resist damage and slows down platelet clumping in your blood vessels."
So perchance take some GLA too :dunno:
Fine :hmm:
I called up bluehost and as :egg: pected they :bump: ed my request up to the next level ... so I has a case number requesting the modsecurity_audit.log ... with a little luck it will tell me what rule{s} you is violating :club: and I can write a bypass for them 'cuz presumably there are others hasing that problem :dunno:

K overall the only real "bad" is the LDL at 137 BUT the numbers don't make sense :scratch: though if I assume the ratio is correct then
his HDL at 44 or there abouts :hmm2: eberythang else while not doog is really only borderline :dunno:
Ok the triglycerides are high and HDL should be above 60 and while the triglyceride numbers may be due to high LDL it's morelikely a result of his new sleepy time regimen. Lack of sleep can :bump: triglycerides as well as lower HDL.
Quote from: WebMD...
In a study of 2,705 adults, people who tended to sleep too little each night were more likely to have high triglycerides and low HDL, or "good," cholesterol, although their LDL, or "bad," cholesterol levels weren't affected by their sleep. People who slept 8 hours a night had the highest HDL numbers.
Why does sleep affect cholesterol? If you don't get enough shuteye, key hormones can get out of whack. Your body may produce too much of the stress hormone cortisol and the appetite-boosting hormone ghrelin, but too little leptin, which regulates body weight. This hormone imbalance can drive your cholesterol out of balance too.

That said lack of sleep is just another form of body "stress" and I still think that's his main issue :yes:
K I recommend looking at turmeric, neem leaf, nitric oxide boosters and black currant ... and the :heart: doctor will no doubt suggest fish oil which is doog but I recommend Krill oil over
As you has no doubt guessed I've :egg: perimented with all of these and for me there's no oblivious change BUT I am :siguie: and nigh perfect in ALL ways that count ...
:wwsd:
That said here are the thangs I've ordered from Amazon that I think are doog value for those who may has need of their healthful properties ... ALL with my Amazon Associate Links :yes:
- Turmeric and Ginger Supplement | 3000 mg 180 Softgel Pills | with Black Pepper Extract ... Currently Unavailable BUT this is a concentrated blast of turmeric with the black pepper for better absorption. It's a common enough supplement that you can find similar ffuts purty easy. I also take siguie brand turmeric/cayenne/ginger
so wasn't :egg: pectin much, especially considering the amount of ginger and curry I eat :dunno: - Nature's Way Premium Herbal Neem Leaf 950 mg per serving, 100 Capsules Pre-made gel caps.
- H&C Natural Neem Leaves Powder, 227 Grams (1/2 lb) Just the bulk herb powder. I can make my own and this is also used in some Indian recipes PLUS there is a lot of use for neem poultices in skin care :yes: This is cheaper for the amount BUT to avoid gel capping the first one is reasonable :yes:
- Organic Beet Root Powder (8 Ounces) by Naturevibe This ffuts tastes like durt but I gotted it for my father who puts it in his morning smoothie for that added durt flavour :no: Beet roots really do :bump: Nitric oxide levels AND you prolly cannot eat enough fresh beats to srsly :bump: yer system :nono: so durt powder :yes: Just remember that beets contain a LOT of oxalates which can lead to kidney stone formation :uhoh:
- Fuel by Toniiq - 3,000mg Nitric Oxide Booster - 99% Purified L-Arginine - 99% Purified L-Citrulline - Min. 4% Beet Root Nitrates - Clinically Proven Velox Blend - 120 Veggie Capsules I likes this one :yes: It can most definitely :bump: nitric oxide levelz and is an all around doog product :yes: I Do NOT believe the rating :nono: BUT this is a fairly simple mix ... so iffen it werks and you/he likes it then just buy some bulk L-Citrulline and L-Arginine and mix it together with some durt or ya noes beet powder :yucky:
Oh as for Krill oil ... I get it from Costco also ONLY take it afore meals ... srsly nuthin worse than a krill oil burp :ashamed:
Oh here for quick reference Healthline - 5 Ways Nitric Oxide Supplements Boost Your Health and Performance ... yer mostly shooting for #3 but the others are doog too. Also while it isn't completely clear in the article ... nitric oxide supplements werk relatively quickly at reducing blood pressure ... like 2 to 5 hours kinda quick BUT should be taken daily for overall reduction :yes:
Oh it also looks like :b: has somewhat low blood protein ... I don't know what proteins they are BUT iffen it's albumin then he needz more :cow: stat ... k prolly not :burger: or steak but more protein ... 'cuz this is a classic issue with vegeterrestrialz :uhoh: Also albumin helps with the blood pumping :flex: Iffen it's other proteins then perchance it's doog that it's not too high like platelets 'n ffuts :dunno:
Also :check: his blood calcium ... generally speaking too much blood calcium can form harder more difficult to clear arterial plaques. Basically you are looking for not too high 'cuz hypercalcemia leads to lots of bad one of which is the cement like arterial plaques :sofa:

Also I read that fish oil only works for certain genome types & that it does not work for hereditary high cholesterol?
I guess they calls it FH...familial hypercholesterolemia. It's not just his dad who died at 56...1st heart attack in early 50's. It's also his paternal grandfather (B doesn't know how old he was cuz he was so young but likely 50's), 3 uncles & 3 aunts on his dad's side . There were 12 kids there. 7 fatal heart attacks, 4 brain cancers & 1 still living I think. :crazyeyes: Rough genes from that side. :sigh: His mom was the German/Hungarian.

:bsl:
Calcium 9.2 (8.6-10.3)
Yeah I told him his bp was likely elevated due to lack of sleep & doof.
He had to fast before going...had to be there by 10 AM after getting home at 2AM. Hour drive..hour to wake & shower...restlos sleep cuz he knew he had to get up & go in stoopy early...
They never consider night shifters or graveyarders when scheduling these kids of things.
I'll find the genome study. It was real science-y. :p
And I likes the black currant ffutses. That one struck a chord. :choir:

i ordered the black currant powder & the durt powder. :p
I read the thingy about nitric oxide & none of it really applies to him.
He's not had high bp since losing his boj at Euro & that was definitely stress.
And when his heart races his bp drops way low....for him anyway... like 95/60 to 108/65.
The lack of high bp as well as lack of ED is what made me doubt the presence of blockages.
But I don't feel what he does in his chest when it happens. :nonono:
AND...STOP going back & adding ffutses. :buttkick: I just now saw the added smate watch ffuts. :yes: Doog idea. :yes:
I'm sure we can borrow Mom's fitbit for awhile. :rofl: She HAD to have it becuz all the cool kids has one (FB :sigh: )
She wore it about a week...never at night becuz "you don't wear a watch to bed!" :huh: and then got tired of it.
She never wanted to use the app with it...it was merely a 'cool' and costly step counter. :rofl:
I'll ask her tomorrow. :wiggle:

:woe:
First they are talking about the effects on Triglycerides NOT LDL :buttkick:
Cholesterol is a type of sterol aka a modified steroid and they are typically all hydrocarbon with the one alcohol moiety of a sterol.
Triglycerides on the other hand are three {tri} long chain carboxylic acids attached to a glycerine {glycerol} moiety.
Triglycerides "can" add to the problem of high LDL but they is NOT cholesterols :buttkick:
As for the article meh they miss use the term genotype to mean peoplez possesing a specific gene variant ... so yeah it's prolly a thang :yes: I has no clue how to tell it's a thang that effects :b: or you, me, anyone reallt :dunno: My guess is that it's related to my idea of how people should eat based on the geogrphical origins of ones people :om: As in where there genotype evolved over millennia and not where there great grands growed up :nono:
Personally I'd bet on the gene GJB2 variants NOT being too widespread because :heart: doctors still recommend fish oil without prior genetic testing. Also if he were a member of that "genotype" the :bump: from a couple of caps would be insignificant :dunno: Basically it will werk or it wont and iffen it don't it wont raise anything significantly or atleast not enough to be testably detectable.
Anywho yes Black Currant is amazing ffuts :yes: but for the quickest resolution I'd bet on the "Fuel by Toniiq" ... it's not gonna cure nuthin :nono: but age related vascular hardening is a thang and Nitric Oxide literally undoes it AND it can werk pretty quick :yes:
Think of it as a quick sumthin for symptom relief as you werk on a cure or ya noes some inappropriate :woo:

Ok don't order the Nitric Oxide ffuts :nono:
FitBits are stoopid :egg: pensive and not very doog :unthumbs: BUT with racing :heart: rate and low BP as a thang a smate watch sounds like a doog choice :thumbs:
Um high pulse rate with dropping blood pressure would normally suggest that he's not getting enough oxygen BUT iffen it's stress related ... I'm wondering if :b: is prone to panic attacks? :hmm2:
I dunno enough about any of this ... just :brain: ing out loud :yes:
Oh and yeah you might wanna has a look at Anxiety Attacks which are like baby panic attacks from what I've googled :oz:
"AND...STOP going back & adding ffutses. :buttkick: I just now saw the added smate watch ffuts."
No :butt: :muaha: :run:
Ohai I hear :b: 's bidet b-day is ... soon ... a smate watch would be a nice present ... just sayin ... :whistle:

So what kinda smate watch? :scartch: I know literally nothing...and am not particularly interested in them. :laugh:
But I has heard him seemingly interested & I does get the need. :yes: The pulse oximeter has been :thumbs:
And his oxygen gets down to 94, 92 even, during the 'episodes'. Pulse as high as 145 :eek: And low bp.
I thunk Afib but he still feels blockages. :dunno: That's why we need real diagnostics. :laugh:
And you know you are axshully as :woo: as I if not MORESO when it comes to self-diagnosis & experimental (physician do no harm :p ) treatments.
Just recently I successfully removed a suspected basal cell carcinoma from my neck with baking soda & apple cider vinegar paste and cs/peroxide wiped/poulticed multiple times a day. :cheer:
Butch panic attacks/anxiety? :scratch: Moreso freaky than me but not in the 'thing' category. :nonono: He's an emotional guy. Passionate even. Typical scorpio. :sigh: Like ALL my peoples. :therethere: <---consoling me
He has that competitor gene which makes him push harder & longer no matter what. A very Zanna-like persistence & life path. Nothing has come easily. And his body has taken a beating. But yeah...his heart. :shera:
Of course the psoriasis just adds another layer of stuff. And it is definitely flaring so stressing.
I think he oughta look into Otezla or the other pill...Talz maybe. The lesser evil?

I get the fast heart and low BP "feeling" too -
usually when I am close to a blockage in my neck ............
it "tingles" through the main body and lasts roughly 5 minutes
but no longer than 15 minutes ...........
even my hands can tremble - but I can keep working
just better no one sees it
or make me talk (tremble in the voice)
maybe it's sun/moon related :uhoh:

:michafire: it would help iffen ya had a pulsoximeter or some such for those times plus a BP meter :yes:
Otherwise that sounds more like a low blood sugar moment or in other wurdz based on the description alone I'd sez hypoglycemia :yes: Though iffen yer a low protein eater verging on the point of despair vegiterriblisim then prolly also :egg: acerbated by low red blood cell count :uhoh: Anemia is purty common in wimmins needing thyroid hormones :yes:
Atrial fibrillation :woe:
K first 145 is not THAT high :roll: The highest "safe" heart rate for a person is generally 220 - Age = Safe Heart Rate So iffen :b: is a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) turning 75 and no other comorbidities he's doog to go :thumbs: :secret: athletes and annoyingly fit 'n healthy peoplez can hit 180 to 200 safely :buttkick:
A-fib is NOT a rapid :heart: beat it's a messed up atria {upper :heart: chamber} out of sync with the rest of the :heart: and usually at the point of fluttering. Yes, it may lead to palpitations and shortness of breath but the pulse oximeter will not likely be able to count the beats :nono: Though iffen you has a perfusion index on the pulse oximeter then ya might see abnormalities :yes:
Anywho this is where a doog stethoscope is handy :thumbs: Atrial Fibrillation is fairly distinct in that the :heart: rhythm is messed up and either too many sounds or just not the classic lub dub rhythm :yes: Oh and it's distinct enough that you can prolly place yer ear on his chest and hear it :yes:
Of course the :heart: doc can just wire him up and between the beats and captured :electrocute: signals it's aquick and easy diagnosis :yes:
Ok NOW I'm wondering iffen that injury he gotted lifting ffuts at the nursery may have somehow injured the pericardium :hmm2:
Now claiming that he feelz blocked up ... presumably in a non-bidet related way ... doesn't make a lot of sense :dunno: fully clogged arteries will generate lots of screams and symptoms and a quick trip to the hopsickle. Partially clogged and you git chronic HIGH blood pressure and or low perfusion which typically results in low blood oxygen SPO2} ... so not really hitting all the :check: boxes :dunno:
K as for smate watches for the most part you want to pair them with a phone. Most werk on both android and apple but you should :check: AND obliviously ignore anything made for a windows pHone ... iffen they still even make those thangs :whistle:
After that you should look at the sensors but for the most part just make sure the pulse :check: is doog. Added SPO2 is a plus as is temperature and blood pressure BUT BP is gonna be out of yer price range and to be fair Temperature is not as useful as people think :nono: Your wrist is not a doog place to take temperature readings :nono: The temp reading is useful while asleep or otherwise stationary for a long time but not for detecting fevers and thangs :nono:
Next check out the App and decide if the information is aggregated in a useful way. Some just throw up number like stress value 85 or sleep quality 63 which is ok but mostly useless :unthumbs: Other apps show a sleep quality graph with pulse rate, temperature and SPO2 and THEN spit out a number or show "signs".
For instance I gotted Dad an Amazfit GTS 2 Smartwatch for Android iPhone, Alexa Built-In, GPS Fitness Sports Watch for Men Women, Bluetooth Phone Calls, 90 Sports Modes, Blood Oxygen Heart Rate Sleep Tracking, Waterproof, Black (https://amzn.to/3nfY7Qi) <= Amazon Associates Link ... for sleep it does sumthin like this ... Google Play Store App Image (https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/Ex_80RXdeVG9PUVfwCNeYnkPFWXGJFgyHzlcmDQf9cNOmA2rY2-wiTm0UdVw6s7L0mY=w1280-h588-rw)
The app associated with the smatewatch {Zepp} displays the total time asleep, as well as showing when you awoke for a bit as well as light sleep and deep sleep. You can also overlay :heart: rate which is cool :yes: Anywho, people git "sleep" confused and what counts as getting enough basically you need 1.5 to 2 hours of Deep Sleep {not to be confused with REM sleep} and 4 to 6 hours of light sleep in order to feelz fresh and awake or atleast well rested. Eberyone is different though so this is just tidbits of my sleepy time investigations :zzz:
OK that said I gotted this particular ... more :egg: pensive watch because it's one of the thinner smate watches but also had GPS, bluetooth and could make pHone calls. Dad has the worst time using his pHone :chuckle: so as long as the pHone is on and in bluetooth range he can answer calls from his watch and look like Dick Tracy. I also hacked the OS so he can make calls BUT not recommended for others :nono: AND it has Alexa integration. I payed for that Care Hub :egg: tra so anywhere in wifi range he can call for help or turn on lights from his watch :oz:
Oh and GPS is doog so he doesn't need to carry his phone around to git a GPS trail like when going on a :pie: quest :yes:
Youse prolly don't need all that :nono: so IFFEN you really don't want to does a more :egg: tensive bit of research there's the Amazfit Bip U Smart Watch (https://amzn.to/2XzGPoG) and the Amazfit Bip U Pro Smart (https://amzn.to/3pnarkK) these are roughly the same thang but less than half the price. The materials change and so do some of the options BUT I believe they all use the same app :yes:
Oh there is also GTS 3 which wasn't available when I gotted Dads so I noes nuthin about it. There are also circular :donut: options vs square/rectangles. A thing to keep in mind is these things are supposed to last anywhere from 10 days to 30 days on one charge :electrocute: BUT that's based on a minimal power use configuration. Dad's was supposed to last 10 to 14 days but is closer to 4 or 5 days because lots of ffuts is set to always ON.
There's also a Amazfit Band 5 Fitness Tracker with Alexa Built-in, 15-Day Battery Life, Blood Oxygen, Heart Rate, Sleep Monitoring, Women's Health Tracking, Music Control, Water Resistant, Black (Model: S2005OV1N) (https://amzn.to/2XxtrkN) ... I don't noes much about it BUT it's cheap and hits eberythang :yes: looks a tad thick but :idunno:
Anywho there ya goes those are my recommendations based on what I noes. I also happen to has a Wyze 47mm smatewatch ... I was a backer. It also has sleep monitoring functions but I've never used it :nono: I noes how well I sleep and don't need a monitor to quantify nuthin :oz: Plus I wouldn't recommend it unless you use other Wyze parapHernalia :nono:
Otherwise that sounds more like a low blood sugar moment or in other wurdz based on the description alone I'd sez hypoglycemia :yes: Though iffen yer a low protein eater verging on the point of
Atrial fibrillation :woe:
K first 145 is not THAT high :roll: The highest "safe" heart rate for a person is generally 220 - Age = Safe Heart Rate So iffen :b: is a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) turning 75 and no other comorbidities he's doog to go :thumbs: :secret: athletes and annoyingly fit 'n healthy peoplez can hit 180 to 200 safely :buttkick:
A-fib is NOT a rapid :heart: beat it's a messed up atria {upper :heart: chamber} out of sync with the rest of the :heart: and usually at the point of fluttering. Yes, it may lead to palpitations and shortness of breath but the pulse oximeter will not likely be able to count the beats :nono: Though iffen you has a perfusion index on the pulse oximeter then ya might see abnormalities :yes:
Anywho this is where a doog stethoscope is handy :thumbs: Atrial Fibrillation is fairly distinct in that the :heart: rhythm is messed up and either too many sounds or just not the classic lub dub rhythm :yes: Oh and it's distinct enough that you can prolly place yer ear on his chest and hear it :yes:
Of course the :heart: doc can just wire him up and between the beats and captured :electrocute: signals it's aquick and easy diagnosis :yes:
Ok NOW I'm wondering iffen that injury he gotted lifting ffuts at the nursery may have somehow injured the pericardium :hmm2:
Now claiming that he feelz blocked up ... presumably in a non-bidet related way ... doesn't make a lot of sense :dunno: fully clogged arteries will generate lots of screams and symptoms and a quick trip to the hopsickle. Partially clogged and you git chronic HIGH blood pressure and or low perfusion which typically results in low blood oxygen SPO2} ... so not really hitting all the :check: boxes :dunno:
K as for smate watches for the most part you want to pair them with a phone. Most werk on both android and apple but you should :check: AND obliviously ignore anything made for a windows pHone ... iffen they still even make those thangs :whistle:
After that you should look at the sensors but for the most part just make sure the pulse :check: is doog. Added SPO2 is a plus as is temperature and blood pressure BUT BP is gonna be out of yer price range and to be fair Temperature is not as useful as people think :nono: Your wrist is not a doog place to take temperature readings :nono: The temp reading is useful while asleep or otherwise stationary for a long time but not for detecting fevers and thangs :nono:
Next check out the App and decide if the information is aggregated in a useful way. Some just throw up number like stress value 85 or sleep quality 63 which is ok but mostly useless :unthumbs: Other apps show a sleep quality graph with pulse rate, temperature and SPO2 and THEN spit out a number or show "signs".
For instance I gotted Dad an Amazfit GTS 2 Smartwatch for Android iPhone, Alexa Built-In, GPS Fitness Sports Watch for Men Women, Bluetooth Phone Calls, 90 Sports Modes, Blood Oxygen Heart Rate Sleep Tracking, Waterproof, Black (https://amzn.to/3nfY7Qi) <= Amazon Associates Link ... for sleep it does sumthin like this ... Google Play Store App Image (https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/Ex_80RXdeVG9PUVfwCNeYnkPFWXGJFgyHzlcmDQf9cNOmA2rY2-wiTm0UdVw6s7L0mY=w1280-h588-rw)
The app associated with the smatewatch {Zepp} displays the total time asleep, as well as showing when you awoke for a bit as well as light sleep and deep sleep. You can also overlay :heart: rate which is cool :yes: Anywho, people git "sleep" confused and what counts as getting enough basically you need 1.5 to 2 hours of Deep Sleep {not to be confused with REM sleep} and 4 to 6 hours of light sleep in order to feelz fresh and awake or atleast well rested. Eberyone is different though so this is just tidbits of my sleepy time investigations :zzz:
OK that said I gotted this particular ... more :egg: pensive watch because it's one of the thinner smate watches but also had GPS, bluetooth and could make pHone calls. Dad has the worst time using his pHone :chuckle: so as long as the pHone is on and in bluetooth range he can answer calls from his watch and look like Dick Tracy. I also hacked the OS so he can make calls BUT not recommended for others :nono: AND it has Alexa integration. I payed for that Care Hub :egg: tra so anywhere in wifi range he can call for help or turn on lights from his watch :oz:
Oh and GPS is doog so he doesn't need to carry his phone around to git a GPS trail like when going on a :pie: quest :yes:

Our forecast says "mostly sunny & beautiful" but it is totally overcast & quite :blowme: & looks like rain. :huh:
I think it's solar wind.
:michafire: :hugs: :gheart:
And :pey: He says this all started when he injured himself back in December. :righton:
I even says to him...well if the heart is a muscle then is it not possible to strain/sprain said muscle?
He just homes in on blockage cuz that's what killed his dad & he usta tell me when he was 30 that he'd die young of a heart attack just like his dad. :woe: It always made me so mad to hear him trying to create a future he didn't really want, but thought he deserved.
I've felt it is injury-related all along but am aware I could be in denial.
He says he can't relax until blockage is ruled out. :yes: And he's already mentally prepared to have angioplasty or stents or whatever it takes to 'fix' the issue. :crazyeyes:
Physically is is way way way more like his Mom's side of the fambily. :yes: Tall, lean, strong, upright. Typical German AI. :yes: :chuckle:
His Dad's :heart: borked fambily were all overweight & sickly...diabetes, morbid obesity in the women, big big bellies in the men (they were not drinkers). .
Dunno if that determines medical genetic predisposition or not.
Thanks for the smate watch ffuts. :righton: I will see if he is receptive. :yes:
Last night's game was awesome!! :cheer: We won! :cheer: :rofl: (BOTH out teams played each other so 'we' won no matter what)
Peoples were very friendly & super attentive to the game. :yes: Everyone there was vaxed AND masked. :superman:

Still has :rain: :happydance:
Though in order for KalipHorniya to git back to "normal" we'd need 6 consecutive years of 150% average rainfall :roll: 'cuz that's gonna happen ... in the meantime more houses are beeing built :wall: :sigh:
:kickcan:
The doog news is the temp is steady at around 63°F for the whole week :bliss:
Oh and no :windy: here neether :nono:
Ooooh that's right the Cumbre Vieja volcanoe {Canary Islands} roared to life for the first time in 50 years and it's purty :wubsigh:
As for :b: honestly I thinxz its Anxiety :yes: coupled with sleep deprivation and stress from the new boj and crazy wooman ffuts ... poor guy :cleanse:
Oh and I'm kinda thinking the psoriasis is a doog indicator :yes: though lack of :sun: may have :bump: ed that too :yes:
The thang is sure a pericardial tear or effusion leading to cardiac tamponade is possible BUT that isn't something that goes away and comes back periodically :nono: Whatever happened, has probably healed by now and at most is being aggravated by something else. As for :heart: sprains :woe: Doog diagnosis Dr. :woo: :thumbs:
:flyball:
Yeah periodic blockaging don't make a lick-o-sense to me :nono: my guess is they find nuthin and he ends up wearing a cardiac monitor for a week to see iffen there's some random atypical :heart: rhythms. After which they talk about relaxation/destress therapies oh and maybe low dose valium iffen he's lucky :thumbs:

It ain't anxiety. :nonono: The episodes come after physical exertion. Many times, but not all times.
The new boj is not stressful & the nights thingy is fine.
Only the first couple weeks was it brutal cuz he was working overtime.
But this began way before the new boj. :yes: Like in December of 2020.
But I don't feel the blockage thingy either. :nonono: Anything is possible, but it just don't make sense. :nonono:
Caution :woo: ahead ...
But I think his fixation on blockages is him releasing long held trauma from when his dad SUDDENLY died. :(
It was May of 1986, but to him it is like yesterday.
But we gotta check it out. :wiggle:
Today...I'ze gotta make an :elfparty: day! :rstars:

Yeah ... :roll:
"But I think his fixation on blockages is him releasing long held trauma ..."
'cuz fixating on ffuts correlates with releasing how :egg: actly :dunno:
Kinda sounds more like he's worried his possible genetic predisposition is going on autopilot and taking him down a road he don't want to be travelling :whistle:
"But this began way before the new boj. :yes: Like in December of 2020. "
:scratch: so is this new info ya just didn't mention or part of the ffuts that yer :tater: los diet was supposed to fix? :scratch:
What happened to ... "he losteded a ton of weight the psoriasis went poof and he's in better shape than he had been in years" :pullhair:
Also what :egg: actly is the issue? I thunked it was a racing :heart: angina and low bp or high ... that bit was never very clear :dunno:
Iffen it's mostly after :egg: ercising then the simplest diagnosis is dehydration and or electrolyte imbalance :electrocute: I figured his insistence on blockages was 'cuz of the angina :dunno: 'cuz honestly "blockages" isn't really a thang without a :heart: attack or stroke :dunno:
Feeling thick, sluggish, :blob: like that's dehydration territory with perchance an electrolyte imbalance and even blurred vision and :brain: fog would not be atypical :nono:
In any event his many weeks off appointment for a :heart: doc kinda suggests nothing oblivious or urgent from his quick :check: up ... though I has no clue what covid has done or is still doing to yer hopsickles :dunno:
:rain: :yesss:
"... parade of bomb cyclones ..." :clap: :hysterical: :clap:
Well it's not a "pineapple :egg: press" situation ... that's a continuous stream of warm tropical air directed over KalipHorniya BUT this is gonna be a wet one :umbrella: Basically a warm tropical mass will be intersecting with an otherwise minor cold font ... what makes this conjunction speeshul is it happens over KalipHorniyaz :happydance:
Take that weather snobz :fist: siguie right agin :yesss: ... atleast purty likely :matt:
This is an el nina year so our rain was :egg: pected to be late and below average. I however predicted wet and moderately cooler :shiver: based on my superior siguie brand weather modelz 8)
The doog newses is I neber updated my pHone number at the sandbaggerz club so I haven't been called :happydance: Also the dozen or so mostly contained wildfires are gonna git put out :boom: The not so doog news is ... there's a lot LOT of freshly burnt land that is gonna git way more water than it can handle :uhoh: I can also purty much guarantee mudslides a plenty :sofa:
Oh and in October we typically git 0 to 0.2 inches with 0 being the number for the last 5 or 6 years. The minimum from this one storm is 20 times our normal :no: ... ya noes a whole inch :faint: though it could also be 2 to 4 inches which is AWESOME for anti-drought :flex: but a little :egg: cessive for a first big :rain: :uhoh: Oh and I has high surf warnings and flash flood alerts beeping and booping on my :electrocute: ffuts :wiggle:

Why was ya gonna set up solar panels if YOU was predicting :rain: ? :buttkick:
:bsl:
Once more...briefly. It IS complex. There has been more than 1 thang going on.
2/2020 when he losted his job the bp spiked. IT had already done so the week before the axe day.
The ER docs recommended a cardiologist work up then, which was scheduled, but then covid came & cancelled the appointment for him. (and fwiw...rural peoples ALWAYS has to wait a month or 2 to see a specialist, unless you see one through a hospital admission. But we have nearly no specialist locally. They 'visit' on a periodic basis. It took 5 or 6 weeks to see an endo. That's the trade off for space...and peace...and SPACE!!!)
He started at the nursery a week later & did lost weight & get real tan & feel good, except for carpal tunnel flare up & general brokenness due to hard physical work.
BP was back to normal. :wiggle:
12/20. That's when he knows for sure that he injured somethin in his chest. He was lifting very heavy tables numerous times over & he felt a 'pop' & also his shoulder & arm went limp (I forgot which arm). He couldn't hardly use that arm for a week or more.
He saw a provider after Christmas who, upon hearing chest pain, immediately did an ekg & recommended a cardio workup once more. His bp was up to around 140/80 at that time, likely due to pain & inflammation. She also prescribed bp med (as had the er) which he has not taken except once or twice when first prescribed.
Symptoms then were chest pain/pressure upon exertion, bad heartburn & belching for the first time in his life with an inability to lie flat & shortness of breath if he even walked across the room. He was in real bad shape for a month or 2.
That's when we diagnosed costochondroitis &/or hiatal hernia due to injury.
So first of this year he started going to a chiropractor. :wiggle: That's also when we started the diet cuz the psoriasis has flared real big & ugly by then.
The chiro said he had "displaced ribs" & was a general mess (my words).
He got mostly better but still continues with the chest pain (he says it feels like his heart is pushing out of his chest) after exertion & shortness of breath after walking. But only sometimes. :crazyeyes:
The low blood pressure only comes with the rapid heart rate & that has happened 4 times in the couple months. The first 3 times after exertion, the last time was on Monday when he first woke up. He felt as if his bp was high which is why he took it, but surprisingly it was super low.
He does not have hypertension except for when under stress.
And that's the history of the mysterious chest (not heart in my opinion) pain & shortness of breath. :check:
I still vote for costochondroitis. They says that can take a year or more to subside with intermittent 'episodes' gradually decreasing in frequency. Although he still has issues after eating....sometimes. :sigh:
He's gonna hafta have an authority tell him "Your heart is fine" before he can not stress out when he feels indigestion or chest pain/pressure. His dad had "indigestion" after eating dinner & went to lay down...but he had a massive heart attack & died instead. Butch was in a master's class at Akron U at the time & a security guard came to the class for him (no cell phones) to tell him his dad had died. :sigh: I was pregnant with J ack i. We were 23 & 24 & his dad was only 56. :angel:

"He was lifting very heavy tables numerous times over & he felt a 'pop' & also his shoulder & arm went limp ..."
The location of the "pop" would be doog to noes a hiatal hernia would almost certainly be in the middle of the chest just below the sternum, costochondroitis is more likely a secondary development {if at all} after an Intercostal Muscle Strain {IMS} which is what it sounds like to me :dunno: Anywho, hopefully it was his left arm/side of the chest 'cuz that would basically asplain eberythang :yes:
The non dominant side tends to be weaker and when both sides are straining equally the weaker side fails. With an IMS an arm SUDDENLY becoming useless makes sense only if it's due to pain which is what it sounds like. The left side is the side with the :heart: in over 99%+ of humans ... there are a rare few that are mirror images on the inside :yes:
The belching and :heart: :campfire: could be results of the chest muskle imbalance ... as in the pain makes you not flex the injured muskle while tightening the ones around it including the abdominals :flex: ... it's a little like eating while doing situps.
Costochondroitis and that "displaced rib" are more of what you'd :egg: pect after an initial injury especially if the IMS was more tare than stretch/strain.
"He's gonna hafta have an authority tell him "Your heart is fine" before he can not stress out when he feels indigestion or chest pain/pressure. "
Well I'm certainly not going to say "I agree with you" 'cuz that is just too egregious and distasteful to even consider :no: so let's say yer prolly not wrong :yes: :yes: :nono:
Srsly from IMS and hiatal hernia to costochondroitis they is all possible and :egg: cept for :egg: treme cases would all result in a doctor sending him home to rest. Oh and unofficially costochondroitis tends to be the result of NOT resting an IMS injury :whistle:
Honestly I still thinxz his main issue is poor stress management and too much worrying. Iffen his bp is truly normally doog but can git high with stress then I'd recommend he keep a stash of Amlodipine 5mg or whatever the lowest dose is. It's a rather standard Calcium Channel Blocker but it can werk in an hour or two ... yes it's prescribed long term and hits its stride in 2 to 4 weeks but it sounds like he only needs the occasional (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) ... in case his bp goes a little :stun:
Anywho, yeah ... with his history a :heart: doc is in order and a vascular assessment would make sense :yes: My issue with consulting a specialist is they will ALWAYS find something they can treat :roll: This is not necessarily a "bad" thang :nono: it's just that modern tests are too sensitive and any variance beyond the established norm has to be treated to avoid liability for the doctor in the future if anythin happens :gaah:
"Why was ya gonna set up solar panels if YOU was predicting :rain: ? :buttkick: "
Why wouldn't I? :dunno: :cloud: s reduce :sun: but there's more than enough to charge batteries :electrocute:
The only reason not to has panels out on my deck is the :egg: pected :windy: with this storm ... I keep my panels tied down to handle 40 to 50 mph gusts but "my" sustained winds tends to be 2 or 3 times what is predicted a few miles inland and this thang is gonna do the :blowme: thang in the middle of the night and I don't want to has to deal with a solar panel kite in the dark :uhoh:
The location of the "pop" would be doog to noes a hiatal hernia would almost certainly be in the middle of the chest just below the sternum, costochondroitis is more likely a secondary development {if at all} after an Intercostal Muscle Strain {IMS} which is what it sounds like to me :dunno: Anywho, hopefully it was his left arm/side of the chest 'cuz that would basically asplain eberythang :yes:
The non dominant side tends to be weaker and when both sides are straining equally the weaker side fails. With an IMS an arm SUDDENLY becoming useless makes sense only if it's due to pain which is what it sounds like. The left side is the side with the :heart: in over 99%+ of humans ... there are a rare few that are mirror images on the inside :yes:
The belching and :heart: :campfire: could be results of the chest muskle imbalance ... as in the pain makes you not flex the injured muskle while tightening the ones around it including the abdominals :flex: ... it's a little like eating while doing situps.
Costochondroitis and that "displaced rib" are more of what you'd :egg: pect after an initial injury especially if the IMS was more tare than stretch/strain.
"He's gonna hafta have an authority tell him "Your heart is fine" before he can not stress out when he feels indigestion or chest pain/pressure. "
Well I'm certainly not going to say "I agree with you" 'cuz that is just too egregious and distasteful to even consider :no: so let's say yer prolly not wrong :yes: :yes: :nono:
Srsly from IMS and hiatal hernia to costochondroitis they is all possible and :egg: cept for :egg: treme cases would all result in a doctor sending him home to rest. Oh and unofficially costochondroitis tends to be the result of NOT resting an IMS injury :whistle:
Honestly I still thinxz his main issue is poor stress management and too much worrying. Iffen his bp is truly normally doog but can git high with stress then I'd recommend he keep a stash of Amlodipine 5mg or whatever the lowest dose is.

Oh my...there's a giant :blob: of yellow rain that looks like it mighta been past your house, but it may has slipped to the south?
Gullly washers. :yes:
So I guess we wait on that system to cross the US, too? :buttkick:
Forecast says rain, heavy at times, on Wednesday night. :chuckle:
Be careful driving to & fro work, :siguie: Watch for fally trees :treehug: and sliding muds. :eek:
So...B had the 3rd or 4th real intense 'episode' last night & I documented. :check:
It was right after eating when it SUDDENLY came on. Seriously intense chest pressure & pain with bp of 184/108 & heart rate of 132. After about 10 minutes his bp went down to 157/108 & the heart rate remained steady at 131.
After 10 more minutes the bp was down to 137/84 but the heart rate was still up. 129.
Finally...after an hour the bp was down to 121/87 and the heart rate SUDDENLY went down to 83.
And I mean SUDDENLY. :huh: The bp went down & the intense discomfort subsided by 50% after 20 minutes.
The heart rate did not slow til an hour later & when it did it dropped from 139 at 7:37 to 83 at 7:40. :huh:
And then he felt fine. :wiggle:
So now I'm back to hiatal hernia. :crazyeyes: They says it can slip in & out of position & episodes can be triggered by activity or eating. :dunno:
At least I gotted some notes. :book:

In covid newses the UK is showing a :bump: even with high 80% vaccination rate. A little over 60% of those hopsikilized are the :egg: pected UnVaccinated but that means 40% are breakthrough cases :sofa: The main reason appears to be the lack of Mask Mandates but also includes a decrease in antibody numbers as in the thang associated with "waning vaccine efficacy".
The doog news is that 40% of breakthrough cases like the ones in the US generally have comorbidities a couple of big ones not considered actual "comorbidity" but should be is smoking and heavy drinking. Also the majority do far better than the unvaccinated.
The smoking, heavy drinking and lack of masking are also a likely reason for Russia's :bump:
These are also examples pointing to the need for boosters in general (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) but more importantly for those in the US and other otherwise low covid regions NOT to give up masking prematurely :nono:

K, it's time for boosters here. :righton: Mom & ZA are getting theirs within the next week. They wanted it 30 days before going on a bus trip (eeerbody has to be vaccinated) to the Smokies after :turkey: Day.
A local pharmacist/friend suggests 1/2 dose Moderna for Jacki. :dunno: That's kinda what I thunk when I first read abouts boosters. :yes: And I'm hoping to get it in her one day this week. :wiggle:
Does you agree with that? Or oughta we go back to Pfizer? :huh:
As for :b:
:woe:
Those bad episodes have happened now 4 times. Only ONE was after eating. 2 were after sex. (if it's not my cooking then it's ME!) :sigh: And 1 of those times was evening...after dinner, the other was afternoon, after mowing & on an empty stomach cuz we were headed to Mom's for dinner.
The 4th (lesser) episode was last Monday right after he gotted up. He had a little bit of slippery elm tea & that's it. That time his bp was super low... for him...like 98/55
He has had multiple episodes that never reached the intensity of those 4 times. Those with the chest pressure but not the racing heart or extreme pain & much briefer so no BP was ever taken. And most all those have been after walking (like across his parking lot at work :sigh: ) . But it doesn't happen every time he walks. :crazyeyes: But it DOES happen most every time he tries to does anything physical, like farmwork :sigh: Digging, lifting, pruning...pretty much anything using his arms.
But again...what happens MOST times is a feeling of tightness & pressure in his chest that makes him stop what he is doing. And it goes away within just a few minutes.
I have read about fast heart rate after eating & that ain't it. :nonono:
I have read about fast heart rates before & after & in-between everything. :crazyeyes:
The speedy upping & extreme pressure/discomfort has all just begun in the past month.
The rest of the symptoms have been since the injury nearly a year ago.
I figure we'll let the cardiologist figure it out. :chuckle: I am just gathering thoughts...so as to help him have a somewhat clear history to relate to the doc. And yeah. we'll write things down. Maybe not pin to his shirt but... :rofl:
Oh & yesterday morning when he got up. 117/59 & 60bpm. That's 'normal' for him since he losted weight.

like a pinched nerve that get's unpinched when he stops werking and

Man, when he got injured his back, ribs, chest...eeerthing was borked. Bad. :sigh:
I mean he would lay on his stomach & I would work on his back & the clavicles felt 'loose'.
Everything inside was seemingly displaced & somehow loosened.
It was horrid as he was no longer the strong, muscular man he had always been.
But when he went to the doctor she only focused on the heart. Middle aged man with fambily history. :sigh:
And the chiropractor seemed to help put him back together again. Mostly.
I can say for certain that something is 'wrong' inside his trunk. That is all I knows. :rofl:
Elsewise...I am buzzing like crazy on the insides. Legs, mostly. Once again. :wtf:
Also hearing the music of the spheres. :sparkle:
I've also had a general feeling of dread...yesterday moreso than today. But that can simply be the :fall: thing.
The 'endings', if you will.
But...today I :frolic: ed & cut a beautiful bouquet of zinnias (with lavender sprigs for scent). :wubsigh:
On October 26! :faint: Our first average frost is Oct 15, the earliest I've experienced here was Oct 5.
And there's no frosty forecasts for at least the next 10 days! :bliss:
I also just planted a big pot full of indoor romaine as well as transplanted hydrotoy kales & collards into a larger hydroponic container. Read that twice, :sigster: :rofl: Mock if you will but I boughted a 5 gallon bucket with basket, lava rocks & air pump.
Just for play. :wiggle:
And then I replanted the hydrotoy in bok choi! :happydance:
One compartment in that widdle toy produced enough choi to make a big ol chop suey like dish & in less than a week it's growing back big enough to use again. B says he can eat that 3 or 4 days a week & it's so very good for him. I use an entire stalk of celery, 2-3 carrots, 2-3 onions, water chestnuts & panda food (bamboo), choi & home-sprouted mung bean sprouts. :yes:
A very light sauce made with chicken broth, sesame oil, mirin, soy or tamari or miso or what's handy, garlic, red pepper flakes & corn starch... oh & a few grains of hondashi for good measure (still ain't got vegan oyster sauce). Velveted chicken for him, tofu for us. Brown rice & crunchy noodles which I guess makes it chow suey or chop mein.
:broccoli:

"... clavicles felt 'loose'." :woe:
You suck at medical memo's :buttkick:
Iffen you add the above to "popping sound" and inability to move arm ... I'm guessing likely for atleast a month+ :roll:
In addition to a strained chest muskle he dislocated his collarbone ya twinkee head :thwack:
The doog newses is that it likely underwent "closed reduction" by itself or during whatever wackiness you was doesing when the thang felt loose :roll:
Did you tell ANY docs that the collarbone was loose" 'cuz purty much any of them should have said go to urgent care or atleast schedule sumthin. The collar bone is also connected to the sternum and my guess likely to a strained muskle.
Yeah wait for the :heart: doc :drama: though if the :heart: issue is unrelated to the injury they'll initially suspect stress induced angina 'cuz it's quite possible and schedule more tests :sigh:
Oh yeah speaken of boosters it's prolly time to git my Moderna 2nd (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) :muaha:
As for Moderna vs Pfizer for J ack i ... I posted this afores but ya prolly missed it :drama: ...
In other wurdz a Half Dose of Moderna is equal to 1.67 Doses of Pfizer. :sofa:
That said there is no simple answer as what is the best choice :nono: However, I do noes that the Pfizer's childe dose {not booster} for ages 5-11 is 10 micrograms or 1/3 of a regular jab :angel:
The thing to keep in mind is that ANY booster from the big 3 will :bump: you or whomever into the :superman: category against covid including the Delta :yes: AND the immunity will last atleast 6 months and for normal people prolly quite a bit longer :yes: Yer body prioritizes responses against thangs it seez frequently :yes: The studies are not out yet but after this booster it's likely but not guaranteed that covid boosters will be a year apart. Oh and I'm betting on J&J to be adding their vaccine to the quad flu vaccine next year :yes:
The point is you should not choose a booster on what is "better" against covid but what has the least or fewest bad side effects. Also while side effects show that a vaccine is werken no side effects don't mean it's not :nono: :woohoo: for double negatives :headbang:

Wow so just one more year and you'll start yer website ... soon ... :thumbs:
Ohai I don't suppose you has 4 inch PVC pipe? :whistle:
Ooooh also that "sauce" minus the corn starch is close to a ramen soup minus the tare ... in fact if you used the pepper flakes in the oil you could easily be there :yes:
I mention this 'cuz bok choi in particular baby bok is a classic addition to ramen as well as a very simple side ... just sauteed in brown sauce :oz:

Quote from: statnewsEach dose of Pfizer's contains 30 micrograms of vaccine. Moderna went with a much larger dose of vaccine, 100 micrograms. It means the company is using a little more than three times as much vaccine per person as Pfizer is. While Moderna's initial results didn't seem to justify the much larger dose, data suggest the protection the company's vaccine generates is declining at a slower rate than Pfizer's is; some experts believe the higher dose may be at least partially responsible.

I doesn't knows what i am referring to....just the constant, ever-changing in frequency, sound of Light bombarding the :earth:
I just called it that becuz I did. :hysterical:
Ya knows...early on when he had chest pain/pressure episodes with shortness of breath he sometimes would twist his torso & then the pain was instantly relieved.
But he ain't gonna rest until heart problems are ruled out one way or another. :nonono:
And yes I remembered your quote about the dosages but did not recall the amounts. I thunk maybe half dose was better since it was offered. And that maybe Moderna would has less side effects. That truly is the main objective. The health department (with Pfizer) will not give reduced doses. I don't know if I can find anyone willing to give her a child dose or not.
And no...no PVC of any size lying around. :woe:
And fwiw, the windowsill herbs that I moved from hydrotoy to durt pots are doing fabulously :cheer:
But the self-watering onion (the water bottle cut per the video you linked) is woefully slow & unimpressive.
The choi though!!! The choi has been a phenomenal hydroplant! :cheer: I can has fresh choi all the time now. :happydance:
I may hafta get another hydrotoy or 2. :cheer:
:bsl:
For reals...I saw some for $40-50.

Rested is good.
I awoke to this in my mailbox:
QuoteSolar activity has increased over the last 24 hours which will impact your energy in different ways. Some will feel incredibly energized, and others totally wiped out. Solar flares impact us physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically and as a result, you may feel particularly sensitive during this time. Use this sensitivity and allow yourself to feel your feelings. Be mindful that emotions are surfacing to be released and a deep inner healing is occurring. Embrace the uncertainty of change and gently yield into this moment. As you do the answers you are searching for will gradually emerge.
That's what I called Music of the Spheres. :yes: :choir:

He IS in bed tho so I guess he came home. :rofl:

Hydrotoy #2 and perchance #3 :no:
I mean :thwack: NO :naughty:
Just git a couple of plant starting trayz cut a hole in the bottom corner and angle the rest just enough that water drips through there either down to the next tray or to a collection vessel. Then all you need is a cheap pump OR iffen you understand air lifts an air pump to recycle the water ... way less than $40 :woe:
Oh and for small precise amounts of water Peristaltic Pumps are doog :yes: though for a window sill system I'd use an ebb and flow system either manual or a periodic pump schedule :yes:
"But he ain't gonna rest until heart problems are ruled out one way or another. :nonono: "
I noes but that's the problem IF he has clogged arteries angina then doog boj :heart: doc is what he needs :thumbs: Same would hold for any :heart: timing or flow issues :yes: The thang I don't like is that with his current cholesterol level, fambily history and reporting of chest pain she almost has to start him on statins and potentially other medications like calcium channel blockers and what not. 'cuz iffen she cannot determine what the cause is she'll need to blanket cover all bases ... which is understandable BUT I don't like :nonono:
Iffen you had the cash I'd say git a chest MRI with vascular assessment and wear a heart monitor for a week to rule out rhythm problems.
The thang is an MRI of the coronary artery can show plaque deposits as well as vascular insufficiencies AND whether the collarbone is messed up plus hiatal hernia and any number of issues :angel: Personally I think eberyone should just has a full body MRI ebery couple of years :yes: with maybe an annual blood werx done instead of a diputs annual pHyzical :gaah:
Srsly though for :b: one chest MRI, comprehensive blood werx and a heart monitor and whatever it is or was and they'd noes in no more than a week or however long it takes to catch one of those episodes :yes: BUT they wont 'cuz they might be able to do it cheaper with blanket use of medicines and older cheaper tests :sigh:
"didn't sleep well last night - but it's not full moon :scratch: "
:therethere: perchance you need a Schumann resonancer :yes:
I has one near my bed :yes: it generates a constant 7.83Hz signal which mimics the Schumann resonance. I ALWAYS sleep well just rarely enough 'cept Sundaze :bliss:

Git it atmo-spHere :rimshot: I so funny :hysterical:
"I don't know if I can find anyone willing to give her a child dose or not. "
Does she has a regular doctor? :dunno:
In any event I don't think kiddie doses are available yet :nono: In general Moderna causes almost twice the number of side effects compared to Pfizer BUT ...
That said ...
That said since her "reaction" was not an allergic one the recommendation is still to get the same vaccine but in a different arm. This is mostly due to the fact that there is no doog data on mixing vaccines and boosters :nono: Ostensibly based on the data currently available each of the big 3 as a booster after being fully vaccinated by another source appears to be "better" either marginally or dramatically so BUT it depends more on the individual and no clear side effects better or worserer :nono:
Personally I'm still a fan of J&J BUT it's most certainly not for eberyone :nono: like :b: with his possible :heart: condition :nonono: That said it holds up a little better than the mRNA vaccines AND while originally deemed less effective it is the only single dose vaccine AND it prolly should have been a two dose because they've shown that used as a two dose vaccine it out performs the other two :yes:

I am currently thinking that she & I both will get a pfizer. :dunno: So i can does it with her. :shera:
A pharmacy here in town has all 3.
And she has a 'provider' that we see very very infrequently . There are few real doctors here & most of them don't accept new patients. :sigh: The providers are RNs & a few PAs. :sigh: And the problem with most of them (I knows a couple personally) is that they don't really care to stay on top of developments or new treatments or whatever. Zen Aunt says they are mostly 10-20 years behind. :sigh: The pharmacist at the aforementioned pharmacy is way way way more currently informed. :yes:
Rural healthcare is right up there with rural internets. :chuckle:
The cardiologist is a he. He is at Ascension St Thomas in Nashville & highly regarded.
And I figure the first thing he orders is a stress test. :yes: And ZA figures B will come home with a weeklong monitor.
I called today & I can go in with him as long as I wear a mask :duh: so I will speak up & say that he'd rather wait & see if meds are absolutely necessary before he takes any.
When he was prescribed bp meds (twice now) before & they bottomed his bp out so much that he felt like :carp:
And that's becuz he does not have hypertension. :no:
In 2020 his bp spiked due to work-related stress & an extra 50 pounds.
Then around Christmas his bp was in the 135/70 range & I believe that was due to the trauma of the injury that nobody cared to look into. :gaah:
More recently his bp has only gone up...temporarily...during the 'episodes'.
99% of the time he runs around 115/60
I mean, seriously, he never took more than half dozen of each prescription & his bp today, yesterday & likely tomorrow is perfectly perfect. I can't imagine what would be if he'd just taken their pills daily for the past 18 months. :crazyeyes:
As for statins...IF there is found to be any blockages then it may be inevitable. Elsewise... :nonono:
But his cholesterol is not that high. I know a doctor who's total cholesterol is over 800. And another (doctor) who boasts a total cholesterol of 1200! :faint: Those are 2 of the few MDs locally who both worked for ZA.
Mom & ZA have both been over 400. And both are on meds & Mom is still near 300. :crazyeyes:
It's a real thang in the land of sweet tea, pork & diabetes. :sigh:
I doubt the cardiologist prescribes anything.other than tests. Usually specialists leave that up to the local providers.

As mentioned in previous episodes ... doctors are not scientists :nono: and for the most part once they are licensed they noes eberythang they is going to noes 'cuz they are not going to has enough time to keep up AND see patients. For the most part they will be up to date on what they are required to noes and do though :yes: eberythang else is optional and most opt out :sigh:
In general ALL medicine is 5 to 20 years out of date by the time it makes it to the public and that's just from testing requirements. In the UK they are atleast 5 years ahead of us but are eternally bogged down by their social medicine requirements :roll: THE place to go for cutting edge medicine is Thailand and it's referred to as "medical tourism". Cutting edge medicine, vastly cheaper AND a resort like environment :yes:
People in the US think rich people get special treatment in the US because they can afford it but that's wrong. Rich people go to the countries that specialize in their particular needs :yes: Thailand just happens to be one of the best destinations for most thangs especially stem cell therapy which is sumthin I particularly like :thumbs:
Yeah take an Amlodipine prescription of 5mg or less iffen it's available but don't take 5mg unless his bp is over like 180+ iffen you can git a smaller dose then 160 ish :yes:
Also don't let him leave for atleast 24h. The problem with amlodipine and most bp medications is there plasma half lives tend to be long like 24 to 48h long. This is great iffen yer bp is normally high not so much iffen it's a short lived :bump: Keep in mind this is just me throwing what I noes yer way the :heart: doc may has other better short :bump: options :yes:
I cannot imagine this werking BUT you can try pointing out that you heard 'cuz I is tellin you that increasing oxygen saturation is frequently an effective means of slowing a fast :heart: rate AND 'cuz the pulmonary arteries narrow when blood oxygen is low { :bump: ing BP} supplemental oxygen can often effectively reduce a bp :bump: And since you wish to avoid medicationating iffen at all possible could the doc write a prescription for one of them new fangled oxygen concentrators eberyone is talking about :wubsigh:
Have I mentioned how useful oxygen concentrators are? :whistle: you noes recently :oz:
And yes in general cholesterol has little bearing on most :heart: related thangs :yes: Also in general I thinxz statins do more harm than doog. BUT there are certain times where cholesterol, in particular LDL turns ebil :basementcat:
Like people with high cholesterol weighted heavily towards LDL and who pop too many TUMs to neutralize stomach acid. THEY can end up producing a particularly hard type of plaque sort of like soap scum in a hard water environment. THIS can be very bad :uhoh:
Also high amounts of cholesterol in a vascular system with reduced elasticity tends to get gummed up so agin not doog :nono:
So yes BP and cholesterol are overly used as reasons for prescribing medications and are generally misunderstood by both the medical community and lay population but sometimez yo do need to fix them :uhoh:
Anywho yeah purty much anyone who reports chest pain will end up wearing a heart monitor :roll: but I will be very surprised iffen he doesn't git some type of medication ... just sayin :whistle:

J ack i is pushing for Pfizer. :yes:
When I mentioned Moderna she said :no:
I axshully thunk about J & J for a different type of boost. :scratch:
So get this... B's dad ate Tums like candy! :faint: For reals. He tried not to smoke (we all knew he cheated) & seemed to replace cigarettes with Tums. :faint: So it was the Tums that did him in :faint: Tho really, he was simply 'done'.
:book: The last time we saw him (2 days before he died) was Mother's Day & the whole fambily was at B's sister's house. The 3 women in the fambily were quite judgemental & critical of B & his dad, but especially of his dad. :sigh: B & I noticed his dad :missing: & went to look for him. He was sitting in his truck listening to a baseball game. When he saw us his eyes lit up...he told us how special we were & how he knew we'd be happy together. Then he said somethin I never forgot....he said, "I'm sorry kids. I just can't take it any more.". :sigh: At that moment he was talkin bout the women in the house, but 2 days later we understood that he really meant it.
Thank you for the O2 recommend. :righton: I will take some real doog notes with me.
Believe it or not I am quite a doog communicator with specialist-type peoples & medical professionals.
More than once, when Jacki was young, I was asked if I was a doctor. :chuckle:
But (surprisingly or not) I am able to speak concisely & of course, always pleasantly. :asilly:
And I noes more :carp2b: than the average :bear: :wiggle:
Not as much as :sigster: :nonono: Nobody noes as much as :siguie: (half-mock)
B...notsomuch. :hysterical: He defers most all health ffutses to me. I axed him to take notes this week & he writ nothing down as of yet. :sigh: I says, "So there's nothing to report?"
And he replies, "Well, yeah...I feel it every day when I walk across the parking lot."
"It?", asks I. "Can you define IT?" "And to what degree? Can you rate IT from 1-10?".
"Did you feel IT any other times at work?"
"A couple times here & there" he replies. :woe:
So, once again, I esplain that his boj is to supply the pieces of the puzzle. The clearer the pieces the more easily the doctor can see the picture. :duh: Elsewise we could end up chasing gooses & jumping through test hoops.
Of course I also stress that his boj is to take his own well-being as seriously as I do. :woe:

Pfizer for Jacki, Moderna for Mom & I told them I'd take whatever needed to be used up at the end of the day. :chuckle:
It really doesn't matter to me.
I thunk I'd give Jacki a couple Aleve before bed. Whatcha say, :sig: ??
Maybe me, too. Maybe not. All I gotted was a sore arm...a week after the injection. :huh:

:sunhug:
For YOU I does recommend J&J :yes: for 1 it's not akshully a "booster" it's a full on 1 shot vaccine AND it has the longest efficacy and werks against more known variants which is why I gotted it :cheer:
Also there's only one accepted mix 'n match study and with only 458 people not enough to make specific recommendations BUT yeah mixing and matching werks atleast as well as taking the same thang agin. The main reason for recommending using the same vaccine is it's show to werk AND less chance of an allergic reaction but that's still 2.8 peoples per million :roll: or there abouts :wiggle:
"Half mock" :hmm: that was atleast 75% mock :buttkick:
Otherwise doog boj :thumbs:
I noticed ya left :b: outa the jab fest ... prolly a doog decision :yes: no matter which vaccine it's gonna add stress and he prolly shouldn't has it right now :nono:
As for his reporting :woe: um yeah either he has no clue what he's talking about and he's psychosomaticizing :carp: OR he really should be in a hopsickle :roll:
On the plus side iffen a simple walk can induce symptoms then he wont be needing to wear a monitor all week :nono: They'll see what's wrong when they put him on the hamster wheel :yes:
Anywho covid numbers are still mostly dropping but those places with already low numbers it looks like there is just the beginnings of a :bump: prolly from lowering of mask and safety protocols :uhoh:
Almost fergetted ... No Alleve :buttkick:
If you are worried about Fever then acetaminophen is better :yes:
Iffen in the morning she is achy and feverish then yeah ok fine Alleve :yes: Naproxen is bestest for joint pains espeeshully during the day at night you mostly just need sumthin to last long enough fall asleep, Naproxen is just doog for that one dose and fergetabout it kinda thang :yes:
Oh and this is where a smatewatch with a thermometer is handy :yes: the temp is neber correct body temp BUT after she falls asleep the smatewatch will show her temp and iffen you take it affores she goes to sleep you can see it rising or falling relative to her measured temp :yes:
AND iffen this were an actual cold/flu event :heart: rate and SPO2 on a smatewatch is dang handy :thumbs:
Quote from: SpaceweatherSIGNIFICANT X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: There was a global eruption on the sun today. It started with a powerful X1-class solar flare from sunspot AR2887. The blast created a massive tsunami of plasma in the sun's atmosphere, which rippled across the entire solar disk. A CME is probably heading for Earth, raising the possibility of a geomagnetic storm on Halloween. More information and updates @ Spaceweather.com.

So I've deduced that :b: has episodes when he gets out of Lucille. :yes: Both at work & at home .
I still vote for injury & think it's becuz of the way he has to twist & bend when getting out of the Focus.
He said today that it's pressure/pain in his chest, no shortness of breath, & he'd rate it a 3/10. It lasts 20 minutesish.
He walks his :butt: off all night at work & says it never bothers him. :nonono:
He also stands 90% of the time he's there...even when working on his laptop.
They has standing desks on the factry floor. :check:
He's not psycho :laugh: Not a hypo :laugh: This mild chest discomfort has been going on since the nursery injury & he'd convinced himself it was an injury that would eventually go away. It was the racing heart & the severe symptoms that made him think elsewise once again. :crazyeyes:
And I didn't mention him for booster cuz he's at work! :duh: Gotta work Saturday and Sunday nights, too. :sigh:
Then drive to Nashville on Monday. And back to work on Tuesday.
Mom's provider told her to "take somethin" to ward off booster side effects so Mom says Aleve cuz it lasts longest.
In the same way a dentist tells you to "take somethin" before the novocaine wears off. :laugh:
It made sense to me. :dunno: I'm sure she already took hers so it's too late but Jacki & I will hold off.
So what? The Aleve will axshully interfere with the body doing what it needs to do & possibly even prolong potential side effects?? :uhoh:
I gotted Moderna again. :yes: It didn't really matter to me but cuz it was the same pharmacy that did my other 2 they had me in their records & gotted Moderna ready. :flex: I feels it moving about in me already. :yes:
:b: wants a booster (and a flu shot) asap. We both feel a :bump: on the way around here. As the weather changes...
time will tell, but peoples here are really truly completely over & done with it so masks are gone & they don't wanna hear about it any more. :ashamed: It's a type of ostrich-ing. :huh: A steadfast denial.
Boy oh boy oh boy...

And when I said what I said abouts this lovely (literally) state, I had no idea this was going on:
Quote, HB9077/SB9014, would set a high bar for — and restrict the length of — mask mandates. It would also forbid requirements for proof of vaccination, prevent minors from receiving vaccines without parental consent, prohibit allocation of state funds for any COVID-19 mandates, restrict local health departments from quarantining people for the disease and make it harder to sue for COVID-19-related damages and loss, among other things.
"It's time for us to move on. And we need to move on, though, in a very responsible way," said Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, R-Franklin. "This bill is going to create, I believe, a responsible framework for us to move forward and put this ... terrible chapter of our lives behind us."

Wow :faint: that HB9077/SB9014 is Floraduh level stoopid way to go tanassi double down on the dumb :thumbs:
On the other hand this is kind of like instant karma for the republican voting reforms ... they've reduced the number of republican voters by more than twice the number of democratic voters the reforms would have turned away ... so um yay :dunno:
I noes things are getting inerestin :yes: :share: and the volcanoes are bootiful :wubsigh:

Unfortunately his chest is literally more than half his trunk and contains a bunch of generally important bits 'n bobs like his :heart: so unless he can narrow it down it don't help much :dunno:
Contortionating stretches and compresses a lot of thangs which dramatically alters the ebb and flow of blood which may set off some unbeknownst injury or infection OR just :thwack: his :heart: into flutter mode.
Anywho thangs like pleuritis or spontaneous pneumothorax or pericardial trauma of some type and any number of such thangs which could cause those symptoms with the triggers mentioned prolly would have resolved by now and or been much worse in the beginning :dunno:
Also it's not "deduction" it's just information gleaned by interrogation :buttkick:
Oh Aleve is fine but AcetaminopHen is better at reducing fever. They are also very different and should be used for different reasons. AcetaminopHen reduces the sensation of pain but does nuthin for inflammation :nono: Aleve {aka Naproxen} blocks the production of compounds that cause inflammation which in turn prevents pain. This is why sooo many people use Aleve for joint problems, since they are primarily due to inflammation. Both are also fever reducers and pain {not just inflammation} relievers BUT AcetaminopHen for short term pain and fever reduction is better. Naproxen is for more serious longer lasting pain issues :yes:
That said I'm not 100% sure if the inflammation from a vaccine should be deflammed :dunno: Swelling is a way the body draws attention to an area ... so :idunno: ... I just woulda gone with Tylenol for this one :oz:
Um yeah I've never been told to take anythin afores novacaine wears off :nono: what the heck do tanassi dentists do :horror:
Make sure :b: asks the doc iffen it's safe for him to git more vaccinations :yes: After I got both Moderna and the quad flu shot in the same day I had zero issues the next day BUT I did notice my :heart: rate :bump: ed up 3 beats above normal :nono: The point being vaccines ALWAYS add some stress to the body and perchance it's better not to does that to him right now :dunno:
FYI: that bruise like feeling at the injection site the next day is more likely trauma from the injection than an immune response :yes:
These thangs are intramuscular injections of a reasonably viscous liquid, think of it like injecting marinade into a :cow: roast.

Anywho tenderness at the injection site IS a vaccine side effect but it's more likely from trauma to the site than the immune system kickingin :yes: Also a lot of new and inexperienced vaccinators do a :carp: boj :fist: they throw the needle into your arm like a dart let the base drop which rips tissue then switch hand positions to inject :woe: That's what the first nurse did :gaah: The Costco pHarmacists did it right though :yes:

So you're gonna hang your panties outside to dry? :scared:
:bsl:
I'm so glad I excelled at the Highlights pictograph stories cuz reading about :balloon: s & :tissue: put me right back at the doctor's office as a kid. :woe:
So I has a theory (unproven, of course :p) that these vaccines highlight the weaknesses in our bodies. I felt that before as well. And it almost feels like a general tune-up tho I surely understand that is not what they are intended to does. :chuckle:
And thanks, we will ask the doctor about B. Although he had no issues whatsoever with the first 2. :dunno:
THREE bpm increase!!!!! :frantic: Alert the media! :hysterical: You did a double dipper, too.
Mom had a flushot and shingles vax at the same time last week & she gotted severe chills as to where she got in bed in her clothes until she finally stopped shaking. :wtf: And then she had zero side-effects with the covid vax.
J ack i stayed mighty low-key until bedtime. :yawn: And went from chills with fever to sweats & no fever by afternoon.
I figure today we're both as lamron as we get. :hysterical:
:b: got home at 3:30AM, in bed by 4:15 & is getting up at 10 to go back in. :crazyeyes:
So really, you've seen stats on how many republicans & democrats has died? :faint:
It's a really really messed up thang. :sigh:
How many more hafta die? :candle:
Sometimes I wanna scream :horn: STOP THE WORLD & LET ME OFF!!!
Of courses, I wouldn't get off the world cuz there's still work to be done, but it still feels good to scream that!

So it's just so much better not knowing. :rofl:
Just got blood test results for life insurance & my total cholesterol is 325. The triglycerides are 532! :faint:
I is way worserer than B. :wiggle:
HDL is 56 (lamron, thank dog :p)
And the cholesterol/hdl ratio is 5.8 which is not abysmal.
So this just don't make sense. :crazyeyes: When you read the how to lower ffuts it is everything we does already. :woe:
Is it the olive oil? https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/say-no-to-olive-oil
We consume a lot of olive oil. :sigh: On salads, in dressings/sauces.
The psoriasis book said he should consume it freely. :sigh:
I use coconut for popcorn & sometimes other cooking ffutses.
Sunflower for oven roasting & stir frying.
Lord how confusing!
Then I has sesame, almond, avocado for whatevering.

and not all of them are the unvaccinated

"So I has a theory (unproven, of course :p) that these vaccines highlight the weaknesses in our bodies. I felt that before as well. And it almost feels like a general tune-up tho I surely understand that is not what they are intended to does. :chuckle: "
Yeah :yes: :yes: :nono: that's completely :stun: and by :stun: I mean just wrong :buttkick: ... mostly ... :whistle:
It's really more of a question of how ones body responds :yes: An :egg: tremely weak immune system may just say meh don't worry and there will be no side effects OR it might panic and :frantic: ly go in :guns: ablazin thinking it's a massive foreign invasion :no:
The thang is eberyone is different in how their body responds AND what their body responds to :yes: Another thing to keep in mind is that the quantity of the vaccine also makes a difference, there's a reason you give smaller hoomans like kids and babies smaller doses. However, didja eber notice BIG adults git the same dose as :wheee: tiny munchkin type adults? Didja noes that small fun sized adults are more prone to side effects than FULL bodied adults :whistle:
Also highly active people are less likely to notice side effects unless them side effects are serious enough to :thwack: the active :yes:
Anywho the pHase 2 part of clinical trials is to a great :egg: tent werking out the bestest dosage ... safe for eberyone with the fewest number of peoplez severely :buttkick: ed. There are some vaccines that are simply abandoned at this point because they hopsickillize too many vs benefits :yes:
"So you're gonna hang your panties outside to dry? :scared: "
Nope :nonono: commando :siguie: runs freeeeee :bliss:
"So really, you've seen stats on how many republicans & democrats has died? :faint: "
"Yes" but it's a crude calculation based on a states Dem/Rep ratio and the known vaccine divides like fewer black democrats are vaccinated vs white democrats etc. Anywho I was being conservative on that number it's quite possible that the correct number is more than twice as many PLUS a lot of the southern states reported probable covid deaths as pneumonia or something else to "avoid stigmatizing" families and don't even git me started on the reporting issues :roll:
"Just got blood test results for life insurance & my total cholesterol is 325. The triglycerides are 532! :faint:

And the cholesterol/hdl ratio is 5.8 which is not abysmal. "
:chuckle:
Oh man this is gonna be a can of worms :sigh:
OK I'm gonna sez a bunch of ffuts which may be used to make you feelz safe to ignore yer numbers but iffen you has a stroke or :heart: attack it's still on you so there warning posteded :moon:
Before fretting over ones "cholesterol" in particular LDL it's important to noes why your body produces so much, why are there 5 types of cholesterol and why do we only ever hear of two HDL and LDL :blah: :blah:
First of all there is way WAY too muches so no I aint doesing the asplinations :nono: just noes that the relation between cholesterol levels and health are not well understood AND lots more research is needed. In other wurdz the advice given by anyone including me is based on the little that's known but unlike most docors I actually psience :yes:
Anywho LDL and HDL do a number of thangs but the important bit is they are involved with the innate immune system, the inflammatory signaling pathways, and all cells need cholesterol to build/fix membranes and then of course there are the vitamins and hormones made from the ffuts :yes:
You do need LDL which is why your body produces ~80% of your total cholesterol. Yes, diet does contribute that last 20% BUT changing ones diet can effect more than 20% BUT it's more than just diet it's overall lifestyle.
The main reason LDL is considered "bad" is because it can lead to atherosclerosis which can obstruct blood flow with plaques being the most common issue ... this narrowing then leads to increased risk of :heart: disease as well as strokes :uhoh:
HDL has many functions especially immune system related BUT it also acts as a solvent to remove LDL plaques which is why you want biggerer numbers for HDL.
That said children with high cholesterol rarely have problems until they are older.
My point is that it's not the level of LDL that causes problems it's the vascular changes that occur when plaques form, not only are the vascular passages narrowed by the plaques BUT they also induce inflammation which further closes them off.
This plaque formation and vascular narrowing by necessity produces higher blood pressure because your :heart: has to work harder.
Now here's a thang plaques form more easily in less active individuals, presumably in the same way that a stream deposits silt as it slows down. While faster moving streams pickup ffuts :yes:
OK here's the wrap up "in my opinion" cholesterol level is NOT the risk factor indicator for stroke and/or :heart: disease :nono: it should be lifestyle along with a metabolic syndrome assesment :yes: Metabolic Syndrome is a stoopid way to clump diabetics, fat people and those with high blood pressure all together :roll:
Srsly people slow down when they get older and this allows plaques to form. Also age and the metabolic syndroming reduce vascular elasticity. Veins and arteries should flex as ones :heart: beats diabetes especially are prone to this elasticity problem.
This is why those people with hardening arteries either via metabolic syndromes or smoking and alcohol consumption are at higher risk for stroke and :heart: attacks if their LDL level is high :yes:
Additionally those who eat poorly and git no :egg: ercise may face similar issues BUT will likely be described as hasing a metabolic syndrome :woe: first :yes:
In a :stun: shell that's why I don't really care about cholesterol levelz and think they is mostly :carp: Though iffen you has chest pain or high bp THEN maybe not :carp: :nono:
Yeah :yes: :yes: :nono: that's completely :stun: and by :stun: I mean just wrong :buttkick: ... mostly ... :whistle:
It's really more of a question of how ones body responds :yes: An :egg: tremely weak immune system may just say meh don't worry and there will be no side effects OR it might panic and :frantic: ly go in :guns: ablazin thinking it's a massive foreign invasion :no:
The thang is eberyone is different in how their body responds AND what their body responds to :yes: Another thing to keep in mind is that the quantity of the vaccine also makes a difference, there's a reason you give smaller hoomans like kids and babies smaller doses. However, didja eber notice BIG adults git the same dose as :wheee: tiny munchkin type adults? Didja noes that small fun sized adults are more prone to side effects than FULL bodied adults :whistle:
Also highly active people are less likely to notice side effects unless them side effects are serious enough to :thwack: the active :yes:
Anywho the pHase 2 part of clinical trials is to a great :egg: tent werking out the bestest dosage ... safe for eberyone with the fewest number of peoplez severely :buttkick: ed. There are some vaccines that are simply abandoned at this point because they hopsickillize too many vs benefits :yes:
"So you're gonna hang your panties outside to dry? :scared: "
Nope :nonono: commando :siguie: runs freeeeee :bliss:
"So really, you've seen stats on how many republicans & democrats has died? :faint: "
"Yes" but it's a crude calculation based on a states Dem/Rep ratio and the known vaccine divides like fewer black democrats are vaccinated vs white democrats etc. Anywho I was being conservative on that number it's quite possible that the correct number is more than twice as many PLUS a lot of the southern states reported probable covid deaths as pneumonia or something else to "avoid stigmatizing" families and don't even git me started on the reporting issues :roll:
"Just got blood test results for life insurance & my total cholesterol is 325. The triglycerides are 532! :faint:
I is way worserer than B. :wiggle:
HDL is 56 (lamron, thank dog :p)
And the cholesterol/hdl ratio is 5.8 which is not abysmal. "
:chuckle:
Oh man this is gonna be a can of worms :sigh:
OK I'm gonna sez a bunch of ffuts which may be used to make you feelz safe to ignore yer numbers but iffen you has a stroke or :heart: attack it's still on you so there warning posteded :moon:
Before fretting over ones "cholesterol" in particular LDL it's important to noes why your body produces so much, why are there 5 types of cholesterol and why do we only ever hear of two HDL and LDL :blah: :blah:
First of all there is way WAY too muches so no I aint doesing the asplinations :nono: just noes that the relation between cholesterol levels and health are not well understood AND lots more research is needed. In other wurdz the advice given by anyone including me is based on the little that's known but unlike most docors I actually psience :yes:
Anywho LDL and HDL do a number of thangs but the important bit is they are involved with the innate immune system, the inflammatory signaling pathways, and all cells need cholesterol to build/fix membranes and then of course there are the vitamins and hormones made from the ffuts :yes:
You do need LDL which is why your body produces ~80% of your total cholesterol. Yes, diet does contribute that last 20% BUT changing ones diet can effect more than 20% BUT it's more than just diet it's overall lifestyle.
The main reason LDL is considered "bad" is because it can lead to atherosclerosis which can obstruct blood flow with plaques being the most common issue ... this narrowing then leads to increased risk of :heart: disease as well as strokes :uhoh:
HDL has many functions especially immune system related BUT it also acts as a solvent to remove LDL plaques which is why you want biggerer numbers for HDL.
That said children with high cholesterol rarely have problems until they are older.
My point is that it's not the level of LDL that causes problems it's the vascular changes that occur when plaques form, not only are the vascular passages narrowed by the plaques BUT they also induce inflammation which further closes them off.
This plaque formation and vascular narrowing by necessity produces higher blood pressure because your :heart: has to work harder.
Now here's a thang plaques form more easily in less active individuals, presumably in the same way that a stream deposits silt as it slows down. While faster moving streams pickup ffuts :yes:
OK here's the wrap up "in my opinion" cholesterol level is NOT the risk factor indicator for stroke and/or :heart: disease :nono: it should be lifestyle along with a metabolic syndrome assesment :yes: Metabolic Syndrome is a stoopid way to clump diabetics, fat people and those with high blood pressure all together :roll:
Srsly people slow down when they get older and this allows plaques to form. Also age and the metabolic syndroming reduce vascular elasticity. Veins and arteries should flex as ones :heart: beats diabetes especially are prone to this elasticity problem.
This is why those people with hardening arteries either via metabolic syndromes or smoking and alcohol consumption are at higher risk for stroke and :heart: attacks if their LDL level is high :yes:
Additionally those who eat poorly and git no :egg: ercise may face similar issues BUT will likely be described as hasing a metabolic syndrome :woe: first :yes:
In a :stun: shell that's why I don't really care about cholesterol levelz and think they is mostly :carp: Though iffen you has chest pain or high bp THEN maybe not :carp: :nono:

:uhoh: our covid19 infection numbers are rising fast right now;
and not all of them are the unvaccinated
though the severe case numbers stay rather stable ...........
Yup! :yes: I've been watching you guys and the UK too :uhoh:
The majority of hopsikilized cases involve breakthrough cases of those with comorbidities BUT the high number in general appears to be linked to a lack of masking and social distancing AND yes a degree of vaccine efficacy waning :sofa:
The doog news is that while the numbers are high the breakthrough cases are almost universally better than the unvaccinated most of whom are just feeling ill for 3 to 5 days :yes: vs 20% of unvaccinated showing up in the hopsickles :uhoh:
The hopsickilized breakthrough cases are also mostly getting better quickly and not adding to the mortality numbers :nono:
The real problem is that these breakthrough cases are helping spread the virus :sigh:

Thx for the German report, Michaela. :yes:
So how many peoples has been infected so far? What percentage of population, that is.
Is there any way to know? or estimate?
And can one get covid twice (same or different variant) or not? I heard someone say that if one is unvaccinated they could expect to get covid about every 18 months. :huh: He was a tv talking doctor, but I wondered how he knew that. :scratch:
I'm just thinking out loud :chuckle: & wondering how much worse it could get, in accordance withthe prophecy how many potential cases/hopsicklizations/deaths there are. :sigh:

Thanks, you. :hugs:
You get what I'm wondering tho: I don't quite know how to phrase it...
Maybe I'm wondering what the up-side maximum is. 'Up' being max cases & prolonged 'limbo', if you will.
It feels like we are balanced :sparkle: between :sparkle: and we could tip in either direction.
Not only with pandemic but with social/economic/political/earthly things of all shapes & sizes.
And then it also feels as if we are a GIANT rubber band that is being stretched & stretched & stretched...
Do we break or do we snap back or do we loosen up & release our elasticity? :chuckle:
OR...we really are in a dream. :zzz: It ain't real & some day we shall laugh at how long we slept. :rofl:
I see Halloween decorations scrolling by as I ponder the meaning of life :rofl: & that reminded me..

Yup, multiple covid is a thang :yes: rarely with covid original flavour but covid 2.0 aka Delta produces so many copies of itself sooo quickly {1200xoriginal covid rate} that iffen you don't has enough antibodies floating around you will git covid agin until yer body :bump: s the immune system to make more antibodies and for most people this results in a minor covid flu state for 3 to 5 days. Though it still means 2 weeks quarantine :bliss:

:woe: this is why it's better to unerstanz a thang that just noes about it :wall:
Yes, coconut can and does add to your cholesterol numbers though really more as triglycerides AND this is another reason not to just blindly follow numbers :woe: K here's the thang better than any other oil coconut contains a LOT of MCT aka Medium Chain Triglycerides ... these are not your regular run of the mill triglycerides :nono: they is speeshul and are metabolized in your liver, in fact MCT is one of the few thangs that help heal a liver like from too much alcohol :yes:

Here's the thang ... she Kristin prolly had :egg: cessively high triglycerides 'cuz that's what coconut with lots of MCT oils does only they are not the regular blood triglycerides :nono: the tests just do not distinguish between regular and MCT :nono: The problem is too many people jump on the coconut oil or MCT bandwagon and do not unerstanz how the benefits werk and when they do not :drama:
Purty much ANY doof oil is 9 calories per gram, iffen you is normal weight and add coconut oil on top of what you regularly eat you will gain weight, gain cholesterol and gain tons of triglycerides :yes:
Iffen you replace yer oil with coconut oil 1 fer 1 your cholesterol will remain the same though your HDL will prolly :bump: while yer LDL dips BUT your triglycerides will still :bump: up.
Iffen you are an active person who werxz out you will likely notice your energy is either higher or longer lasting and perchance even notice less muskle pain after a werk out :yes:
Iffen yer metabolism is increased while consuming coconut oil having replaced other oils 1 to 1 AND you were slightly or moderately overweight you may notice thermogenisis which will reduce your weight by using up :egg: cess fat.

Anywho I mostly mentioned coconut oil for youses 'cuz it means J ack i can has roughly 40% more oil afores pancreatitising :oz:
Personally I use coconut oil because it tastes doog has a 350°F smoke point {veg oil 450°F and olive oil is 405°F} and can add a slight coconut flavour and scent to whatever AND some of the thangs I cook are traditionally made with coconut oil :yes:

I does has candy BUT will be doesing the dark house thang 'cuz there really should not be any trick-o-treating :nonono: :sigh:
Oh basically with each vaccine booster people are training their bodies to deal with covid a little longer and my guess is that after people git their first booster it should be a yearly thang for the next couple of years.
For the most part the pandemic is over and we is going to has to live with it :yes: Ideally 80% plus will be vaccinated and git regular boosters. The relatively mild resulting covid will then spread through the community fortifying those already vaccinated with continued resistance via minor periodic colds. This is basically what the vaccine endgame has always been planned to be :yes:

So if the pandemic is over then why should there not be trick or treating?
:crazyeyes:
I so confuzed. :stars:
So in reading between the lines you're saying that unvaccinated will continue to die?
And in places such as here where the vaccination rate may top off at 40% (higher in the cities) we will still see a lot of sickness?
And 'herd immunity' is not really possible any more?
Just curious. :wiggle: And I guess trying to make sense of my state having decided it's over...please return to your regular programming. :horror:
So yes, Kirstin's triglycerides were super high...I saided numbers similar to mine (total 325, trigly 534).
She is truly fit tho...she has been in the top 5 worldwide in her age group for 10-15 years now. #1 several of those years.
She was in the Tokyo paralympics as a guide for a blind triathalete.
But really...eeerbody knows at least 1 person who was super healthy seeming & SUDDENLY died of a heart attack. :yes:
And eeerbody knows at least 1 person who is the epitome of bad health (my ex-uncle who had covid :laugh: ) who seems to beat all the odds. :yes:
So it always comes back to "when it's your time it's your time". :yes:
Today we are headed to Nashville. :wiggle: :cowboyhat: Music City USA. :chuckle: Now known as Nashvegas or Little LA. :sigh:
Hopefully sooner than later we shall rule out any :heart: related disease & B shall be able to relax about it. :yes:
He did say recently that maybe he's just more out of shape than he realized. :rofl: He HAS been much less active since the injury...first out of pain, then out of fear of stressing his heart. :yes:
Energies are still wound up... It is the Day of the Dead! A celebration of Life! :flower: :candle: :flower:

"So if the pandemic is over then why should there not be trick or treating?"
:hello: kidz not vaccinated ... mostly ... I doubt if groups social distance AND going house to house is prolly the best way to spread covid ... though props for the mandatory masking joke :rimshot:
"So in reading between the lines you're saying that unvaccinated will continue to die?
And in places such as here where the vaccination rate may top off at 40% (higher in the cities) we will still see a lot of sickness?
And 'herd immunity' is not really possible any more?"
Unvaccinated will continue to die yes :yes: or at the very least continue make up the majority of deaths.
Rural places will be pocketed areas where SUDDEN covid batches arise other times not :nono: It will also depend on masking and social distancing particularly in low density population areas :yes:
Herd immunity is both possible and inevitable :yes: some will git there with vaccines others will git there by being infected then not dying. Basically when the number of resistant people is high enough that "normal" actions restrict covid infection rate to less than one {r<1} That is "herd immunity" kicking in and covid will then need to mutate :blob: or go :bye:
Also keep in mind that there are some people who cannot take the vaccine or whose bodies will not create the proper or sufficient number of antibodies. These include those with immune system diseases, critically ill and of course those taking immune suppressing drugs like anti rejection drugs for organ transplant patients and those with various types of cancers. So the reason to be vaccinated and continue to be vigilant and behave responsibly is to safeguard those who cannot be vaccinated and are at critical risk if :egg: posed to covid :angel:
"So yes, Kirstin's triglycerides were super high..." Well duh it should be as should yers be 'cuz you eat coconut :yes:
Triglycerides "can" lead to arteriosclerosis like LDL cholesterol so obliviously it is bad and needz to be avoided :no: OR atleast that's the reasoning for maintaining it at a low level 'cept MCTs are used by the liver as a carbohydrate alternative energy source and Do NOT arteriosclerosiside and actually help reverse and re-elasticize arteries 'n ffuts so why is a high triglyceride number bad? :scratch: Oh yeah because it's ALL triglycerides added together and you has no clue how much is doog and how much is bad much like back in the 50's when it was decided that cholesterol was bad then in the I'm gonna say 90's but not sure HDL was discovered to be beneficial and the cholesterol numbers were split LDL bad and HDL doog.
People should not fear numbers just because a doctor sez it's bad :nono: It 'may' signify sumthin bad :yes: or it might just be like so much in medicine ... a doog idea that's just wrong :angel:
Srsly doctors once promoted cigarette smoking for health :woe: cocaine for stress, and more recently early mamograms and colonoscopies both of which resulted in more deaths than they could have prevented AND like so much in medicine it was just allowed to fade away :roll:
LDL is considered bad BUT your body produces it in large amounts because it needs a lot of it. The more active you are the more you are going to eat and the more you are going to need. Your body also has control mechanisms which to some degree is what statins trigger to try and slow production. Unless you has some oblivious "metabolic syndrome" that makes it likely that yer body is amock running OR you has chest pains or some type of vascular problems I'll tend to believe that your body noes what it's doing over a doctor saying these numbers need to go down :roll:
Nashville :boyhowdy: has nuf :wave:
Yeah it will be doog to noes one way or another what's up :om:
:hello: kidz not vaccinated ... mostly ... I doubt if groups social distance AND going house to house is prolly the best way to spread covid ... though props for the mandatory masking joke :rimshot:
"So in reading between the lines you're saying that unvaccinated will continue to die?
And in places such as here where the vaccination rate may top off at 40% (higher in the cities) we will still see a lot of sickness?
And 'herd immunity' is not really possible any more?"
Unvaccinated will continue to die yes :yes: or at the very least continue make up the majority of deaths.
Rural places will be pocketed areas where SUDDEN covid batches arise other times not :nono: It will also depend on masking and social distancing particularly in low density population areas :yes:
Herd immunity is both possible and inevitable :yes: some will git there with vaccines others will git there by being infected then not dying. Basically when the number of resistant people is high enough that "normal" actions restrict covid infection rate to less than one {r<1} That is "herd immunity" kicking in and covid will then need to mutate :blob: or go :bye:
Also keep in mind that there are some people who cannot take the vaccine or whose bodies will not create the proper or sufficient number of antibodies. These include those with immune system diseases, critically ill and of course those taking immune suppressing drugs like anti rejection drugs for organ transplant patients and those with various types of cancers. So the reason to be vaccinated and continue to be vigilant and behave responsibly is to safeguard those who cannot be vaccinated and are at critical risk if :egg: posed to covid :angel:
"So yes, Kirstin's triglycerides were super high..." Well duh it should be as should yers be 'cuz you eat coconut :yes:
Triglycerides "can" lead to arteriosclerosis like LDL cholesterol so obliviously it is bad and needz to be avoided :no: OR atleast that's the reasoning for maintaining it at a low level 'cept MCTs are used by the liver as a carbohydrate alternative energy source and Do NOT arteriosclerosiside and actually help reverse and re-elasticize arteries 'n ffuts so why is a high triglyceride number bad? :scratch: Oh yeah because it's ALL triglycerides added together and you has no clue how much is doog and how much is bad much like back in the 50's when it was decided that cholesterol was bad then in the I'm gonna say 90's but not sure HDL was discovered to be beneficial and the cholesterol numbers were split LDL bad and HDL doog.
People should not fear numbers just because a doctor sez it's bad :nono: It 'may' signify sumthin bad :yes: or it might just be like so much in medicine ... a doog idea that's just wrong :angel:
Srsly doctors once promoted cigarette smoking for health :woe: cocaine for stress, and more recently early mamograms and colonoscopies both of which resulted in more deaths than they could have prevented AND like so much in medicine it was just allowed to fade away :roll:
LDL is considered bad BUT your body produces it in large amounts because it needs a lot of it. The more active you are the more you are going to eat and the more you are going to need. Your body also has control mechanisms which to some degree is what statins trigger to try and slow production. Unless you has some oblivious "metabolic syndrome" that makes it likely that yer body is amock running OR you has chest pains or some type of vascular problems I'll tend to believe that your body noes what it's doing over a doctor saying these numbers need to go down :roll:

Like for reals we all got raptured! :excited:
:bsl:
The colonoscopy statement...I noes 2 peoples in my small circle who were seriously injured by a colonoscopy. 1 with a punctured lung that left them a week in the hospital, 1 with an abdominal area rupture that messed this person up (a distant cousin) for months. She spent a couple weeks in the hospital, the rest of the recovery was at home. Makes me not at all eager to have one done by anyone locally. :eek:
Yeah, profits & production have surpassed a simple mission to facilitate healing.
So :b: is back at work. 10 hours production (closer to 12 for him) all week tho he will be off again on Thursday at the least.
The doc axshully said his bp (130/74) was "pretty good" & that his cholesterol was "fine". He then went on a mini siguie :blah: about how cholesterol is not the significant factor peoples believe it is. :cheer: For reals. :righton:
He also doesn't believe the psoriasis is a factor. :nonono: But due to family history he believes that we have to rule out blockage.
So on Thursday he has a treadmill stress test. :uhoh: :clap: :shera:
And no, I ain't concerned about my "numbers" at all. :nonono: But I does know that I would benefit from some regular cardio or weight training. :ashamed: I does practice yoga with inconsistent regularity. My body makes me do yoga. :laugh:
Aging is a funny thing as it just kinda SUDDENLY stares you down & says "You're gonna hafta axshully WORK to keep that body in shape from now on. :sigh: No more free rides." :rofl: :flex:

Heya :michafire: :wave:
:bigsmile: indeed :yes:
I prioritized cr2 followed by siguie tested because that's 90% of the traffic :yes: the rest of :psifly: still has some issues :uhoh: but I'll git to them ... ya noes eventually :whistle:
OH and I thinxz it might be time to formerly backup the forum AND the database this weekend. As near as I can tell cr2 was unscathed and the reason I can tell is because I am soooo bad at cleaning up there are 4 copies of cr2 on this server ... hanging in limbo ... in case I fergets to copy sumthin over :ashamed: Anywho, near as I can tellz cr2 just needed to be copied over to the new server box and :boom: it was running without tweaking :thumbs: siguie tested required tweaking :sigh: but is now up :yes:
About the botched colonoscopies yeah I noes the number is officially between 1.5% and 3% but that is for "routine" which makes you wonder what is non-routine colonoscopies :dunno: but yeah when lobbyists use doog intention reasons to increase invasive testing how could anyone noes it would turn out horribly horribly wrong for patients :horror:
Honestly I think eberyone should just has a full body MRI once every 5 years. Ebery 2 or 3 for peoples genetically prone to specific thangs. The no insurance cost is basically $1000 and a doog AI interpreter could handle the majority of interpretive findings. Then even if the AI missed something iffen you go to a doctor then can pull up your MRI and has a look at problem areas. It would vastly reduce health costs and for ffuts like with :b: instead of testing for blockages just has a look at the previous MRI ... even if there is nuthin oblivious then you noes the problem developed in the interim ... iffen there are vague signs of blockages beginning years ago you literally has a doog idea where to look and you can throw an ultra sound on the location or any number of imgaing systems :bliss:
Also MRI non-invasive ... as long as you don't has metal in your bones 'cuz then it's a little invasive/exvasive :whistle:
"The doc axshully said his bp (130/74) was "pretty good" & that his cholesterol was "'ine'. He then went on a mini siguie :blah: about how cholesterol is not the significant factor peoples believe it is. :cheer: For reals. :righton: "
Huh :huh: :faint:
Are you sure ya didn't just dream that? :dunno: it sure don't sound like a hillbilly :deliverance: doc :nono:
Oh and that :blah: is called a tirade 'tis the way of my peoplez :om:
Anywho "psoriasis" isn't part of it it is a stress indicator like stress induced :heart: palpitations. Ohai does :b: has an enzyme panel done? 'cuz I'd :check: cortisol :yes:
Blockages would make this easy but it wouldn't asplain the low bp :heart: race :hmm2: Also the way ya described it doesn't sound right for blocked ffuts more like a tipping point is reached that clicks an arrhythmia switch or sumthin :dunno:

I just read that they are a not-for-profit hospital as well. :huh: I'm not sure I knew there was such a thang. :laugh:
Also his doctor comes to Paris once a month. :hi5:
We went to Nashville tho to see him 2-3 weeks sooner.
Anyway...I watched a Lee Harris energy report yesterday morning. :yes: I likes him. :yes:
He said his guides say we are in for an "electrical storm" from mid-Nov thru mid-Dec. :huh:

New :moon: today. Exact at 4:15PM :elvis: time :offtobed: time Germanic time :chuckle:
Innerestingly, when I just saw the new :moon: time it was in Eastern Time. 5:15 Which 'just happens' to be the day B's dad died :candle: ...also his little sister's bday. I'm taking it as a :hi: from :cloud9: sign rather than an ominous one. But boy oh boy I am nervous about this stress test today. :yes: I gots :butterfly: s But I will be smooth as silk & calm as a country pond :chuckle: cuz that's what I does. :om:
Energies??? :dunno: It froze hard here. Heavy frost, 28 degrees. And I am so sore from carrying 24 large pots over to the nursery for wintering... :flex: :splat:
I just read in Kate Spreckly's energy report that it is a doog time to clear blockages & I thunk 'Holy :carp: all the signs are aligning with B's little jaunt at noon'. :chuckle:
I just keep reminding myself that iffin he's gonna have a :heart: attack then I :wish: for it to be AT the hopsickle. :yes:
And I'm thankful he'll be in Paris (15ish miles) rather than Nashville (100 miles).
Oh get this...the plant manager sought him out yesterday to offer support. He told him that this past weekend his best friend had a heart attack after golfing. He was in seemingly good shape, just thought he had indigestion. :woe:
Anyway, he told B to do whatever he had to do & to not worry about a thing at work, that he always has a job. :wub:
I am hopeful this road leads to a daytime, office-type boj for him. :yes: They desperately needs training materials (a whole freaking course) as well as updated & clear work instructions & lots of other ffutses. He could easily be a process engineer/trainer/document dude & facilitate lot of positive change. :sparkle:

Um actually it sounds like they are doing an LHC as a diagnostic measure :yes: not necessarily as a treatment :nono:
This sounds like it may be an angiogram related thang as in just getting some imaging data with the suspicion of a clogged or in some way restricted artery :yes: Presumably they are leaving options open for :balloon: angioplasty and or stenting :console:
Also 18 days for the next procedure makes it sound like they are not too worried :dunno: If it is something serious they never would have let him leave the hopsickle.
It could still be something as simple as an arterial bend with an unfortunately placed plaque requiring only angioplasty :yes: BUT honestly I think the docs just want a look at his (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/zheart.gif) 'cuz they are not sure what's up and want to rule thangs out :yes:

"He did say his bp hit 236/83 before they stopped the test. :scared:
But he (regretfully, I might add :laugh: ) did not have one of the 'episodes' as he has had here at home. :sigh: "
The real question is how fast did the pressure rise ... was it in the first 30 seconds or after 10 minutes?
236 mmHg is above the 220 mmHg safe cutoff for exercise bp but iffen he didn't has an episode then they prolly think some form of restriction is occurring. THAT's why they want to do the LHC :yes: it's a diagnostic to look for narrowing or restrictions AND iffen they find them angioplasty for plaques and stents for arterial narrowing :yes:

It was after a few minutes but he doesn't know how long. It was when the treadmill put him on an incline.
And then they stopped.
And the administrator said, (Southern twang here) "You might need to be on blood pressure medication!" :chuckle:
He told her that his bp is fine...except for when he does anything slightly strenuous.
And yes, they told him to prepare for the possibility of stent so that is what the doctor is presuming.

Srsly it's a thang :yes: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_hypertension)

After they finish playing with him in cath lab ... IF they say no stents and at most point to a possibly questionable narrowing that doesn't meet the criteria for stenting AND no wacky arythmias ... then yeah :egg: sercise hypertension :yes:
Oh and I purely by chance happen to noes about this thang 'cuz it relates to autophagy, mitochondria and of course InfraRed light therapy. Ok plus a few other thangs but dang that would be an amazing coinkidink iffen that's it :yes:
On the plus side iffen he does need a stent ... that's basically an instant fix and other than taking aspirin or other blood thinners there's really no downside ... if they are going in then might as well fix the problem :yes:
If they do not stent or find anything then ask for that Oxygen concentrator :yes:
PLUS bad memos and :carp: bp meter ... AND ...
... wait for it ...
... too muches stoopid dieting aka yer cooking ... and yeah he's just overall too stressed.
Srsly it's a thang :yes: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_hypertension)

It's not exercise hypertension. :nonono:
Like it would just SUDDENLY come on? After years & years & years of no issues whatsoever? :huh:
Walking through the parking lot is far from 'exercise' & it makes his chest hurt. He doesn't stop to check his bp then. :p
Nice 'try' though. :therethere:
:pie:
We went to a freaking downtown Paris Christmas Open House last night. :wtf: :faint:
There were far too many peoples crowded into little shops which was doog for business & also doog for Covid.
Not a mask in sight. :nonono: We were masklos as well, but stayed outdoors & not crowded into little shops. :crazyeyes:
For reals...it's over. :sigh:
As for the 2 weeks until B's procedure... One. More. Time. That's standard here. You lives in a bubble. :chuckle:
When dad was so sick with leukemia that the local oncologists would not even see him (they said there was nothing they could do) he was referred to Vanderbilt.
The doctors there would not see him either, due to being too busy.
So he was advised to go to the ER at Vanderbilt. He/we did & then he spent 2 days in the ER, camping out, waiting for someone on the oncology floor to check out or die. They said sometimes patients spent as much as a week in the ER...waiting for a room.
And then....he got treated. :wiggle: And lived another 9 months. :sparkle:
Same scenario. Iffin B had a major heart attack he would be sent to Paris, then to Nashville, & then...finally... treated.
Elsewise....you gets the first available appointment. :wiggle:
It's the same way to see a dentist around here. :yes: A true emergency will get you in...elsewise it's 2 months' wait.
It is what it is.

Here's a tech :nickel: blurb from 6 years ago ...
Quote from: ncbiAbstract
A hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) is frequently observed in individuals without hypertension or other cardiovascular disease. However, mechanisms and clinical implication of HRE is not fully elucidated. Endothelial dysfunction and increased stiffness of large artery contribute to development of HRE. From neurohormonal aspects, excess stimulation of sympathetic nervous system and augmented rise of angiotensin II seems to be important mechanism in HRE. Increasing evidences indicates that a HRE is associated with functional and structural abnormalities of left ventricle, especially when accompanied by increased central blood pressure. A HRE harbors prognostic significance in future development of hypertension and increased cardiovascular events, particularly if a HRE is documented in moderate intensity of exercise. ...

Maybe. :yes: And just maybe the cardiologist suspects that as well. :dunno:
Time will tell. 2 weeks from tomorrow. Will be here in the blink of an eye. :wtf:
I just told him it's his turn to go through a "thang". :wiggle:
Eeerbody has a "thang" at one time or another. Many peoples has numerous "thangs" or even lifelong "thangs".
He says, "I ain't never had a "thang""
"Exactly!", says I.
Ideally "thangs" serve to make you better in the long run. It's a born again, Phoenix rising, what-you-made-of kinda "thang".

:therethere:
Yeah well I thinxz Thangs are to be avoided :abog: and generally not dealt with whenever possible :yes: That and are generally age related that's why I plan on neber getting old OR even maturing :nono: Foreber Timelos :bliss:
Srsly though telomere shortening is/was often associated with age related degeneration but I neber believed that made sense :nono: It IS the thang that causes the big problems BUT the thang causing the shortening is what needs to be addressed AND atleast in part that's autophagy or lack thereof AND the main culprit ... mitochondrial degredation :no:
Autophagy, Cellular Aging and Age-related Human Diseases (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6946111/)
That's a doog overview article but is prolly a tad tech :nickel: for most le :sigh:
Here's the thang there's a disease called Progeria which is often referred to as the aging disease. Genetically it's denoted my a accelerated telomere erosion. Along with the age of clones starting off at the same age as the sample used to make them it's pretty clear that there is a correlation of telomere length with age related DNA degradation.
Oh and the wurd telomere as you might guess refers to the "ends" {greek} of the chromosomes in particular the small cap part above the centromere ... which is the touching joiny bit in the chromosome.
Anywho there is a thang known as the "End Replication Problem" which in a way asplains the slow shortening over time. However, this shortening occurs faster or slower depending on lifestyle as well as certain genetic dispositions.
Anywho autophagy is the cleanup sequence that makes cells run the bestest that they can the real {according to current siguie theories} key is keeping the mitochondria running smoothly :electrocute:
In any event autophagy is the easier thang to dealz with and there is plenty of evidence showing that many autoimmune diseases are related to inadequate autophagy and the subsequent inflammation which results. Though I'm almost certain the thymus gland is also part of the equation especially in cases like psoriasis, type 2 diabetes and diseases such as MS :yes:

I amembers the autophagy lesson from awhile back. :righton: :chuckle:
You are being narrow :brain: ed. :pie:
"Thangs" have nothing to does with age. People can be born with thangs...like Jacki. :duh:
I had a major thang from the age of 22-34.
Thangs are often ordained by our souls...in accordance with the prophecy :p ... and assist us in becoming better hoomans, when we are open to receiving the message/lesson/significance.
Thangs are typically life-altering events....wake-up points...turning points... & timeline markers.
A 'thang' can be connected to/with another person. For example, Dad's leukemia was also 'my' thang.
And obliviously everything about Jacki is also 'my' thang.
Anyway...B's 'thang' is also my/our thang tho each relates to it differently.
Most likely his thang will have a name on 11/23. :sparkle:
Meanwhile, my biggest little thang is keeping him from accidentally killing himself between now & then. :sigh:
The doctor said it was fine for him to maintain his usual activity level, just nothing strenuous.
We did not think to tell the doctor how grueling his usual activity level can be. :sigh:
He says they are scheduled 10 hours the rest of the week & that he may hafta work Saturday &/or Sunday.
I says :no:
When he gets up I am hasing him message the doctor via portal :norway: & see what he says.
A cousin in Georgia who has had multiple stents (including recalled stents :huh: ) & other procedures for over 20 years told B in no uncertain terms to do as little as possible between now & procedure day just to be on the safe side.
I think part of B's lesson in this (as in most 'thangs') is to learn to put himself first...love himself most.
He has given way too much of himself to unworthy employers over the years & it's time he be a little selfish. :shera:
Anyway... the above is obliviously just my thoughts. :wiggle:
As always, my thoughts are subject to change. :matt:

forgots to report:
there was a big M-class flare yesterday
:sunhug:
:rainbow:
:no:
:chuckle:
I just read this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/germany-reports-daily-high-number-of-new-coronavirus-cases/ar-AAQwY2s
And I thunk... :michafire: already reported that. :righton:
The article says you could get lockdowns tho. :yes: You are so lucky. :chuckle:
America is done with lockdowns no matter how many get sick or die. :sigh:
Sig...my old autoimmune thang is an example of NOT age-related, goofball! :eip:
At 25, I felt way way worserer than I do now.
As for B's symptoms...you knows as I do he's had multiple 'thangs' at once. :crazyeyes:
But this is the one that has been recurring for a year or so & remains still today:
QuoteSymptoms of coronary artery disease include:
A squeezing pain or a feeling of pressure in the chest, neck, back, arms, jaw and/or shoulders (i.e., angina). The pain tends to worsen with activity and subside during rest. This type of chest pain can be triggered by emotional stress.
From: https://tricitycardiology.com/warning-signs-of-clogged-arteries/
As for the racing heartrate...it has only happened 3 times & after exertion so maybe it had to happen to get his attention becuz he had written the above off (as had I) as 'injury'? :dunno: And those 3 times were not brief. :nonono: 20 minutes of feeling like his heart was pushing out through his chest wall & then a gradual subsiding over the next 40 minutes.
But today... :sparkle: Right NOW :sparkle:
It is a gorgeous, beautiful, sunfilled, :spring: like day! :bliss:

In any event there are many age related diseases, syndromes, pains ... most are related to hormonal fluctuations but others taret specific factors at those ages. For instance covid original flavour targeted the elderly but NOT the young, the Delta however, now targets the young more aggressively so there are definite age related changes that effect susceptibility.
Also there are common age related thangs just associated as being part of life ... like growing pains or babies teething.

K. I duly sit corrected on the age-related thingamabob. :yes: I was...um... wrong. :ashamed: :rofl:
This is my favorite sentence of what you writ:
and this is my beliefs and unerstanzings that can change without notice
:clap:
Also the telomeric shortcomings... :hysterical:
So what is the term for things that typically come about as we age?
And yeah, I dunno iffin it was autoimmune...they only ever called it an 'undifferentiated connective tissue disorder' :roll: & gave me lots of different drugs. :sigh: I just figgered it autoimmune cuz then I developed the Grave one :chuckle:
So :b: gotted hiis paperwork from the hopsickle. It says (much to your unsurprise) that the test is done to:
1. Check blood flow & blood pressure in the chambers of the heart
2. Check the pumping action of the heart
3. Find out if heart defect is present & how severe it is
4. Find out how well heart valves work.
Nowhere does it mention cloggy arteries. :huh:
:magic:
Happy :sparkle: 11:11 :sparkle: Day!
Oh & :thanks: for the mini dissertation on schizophrenia. :huh:
One never knows when such knowledge may be useful. :crazyeyes:

Ahhhh ok you was a maybe ... :yes:
Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease – In-Depth Overview (https://www.hss.edu/conditions_undifferentiated-connective-tissue-disease-overview.asp)
:woe: that also asplains the Grave's :yes: there is a significantly higher thyroid disease overlap with connective tissue patients such that their doctors are recommended to be on the lookuout :oz: It's mostly the other one ...

:chuckle: I has a thang about the letter S :hysterical:

"Nowhere does it mention cloggy arteries. :huh: "
:chuckle: that's because the paper you got was just for the "test" procedure. There will be another paper that he has or will need to sign giving the okeedokee to common procedures iffen the tests shows that they is needed like :balloon: angioplasty roto rooter or that thar stent thang :oz:
Anywho they'll take a look around and kick the tires a bit but the big thang will be measuring the blood oxygen in the :heart: arteries. The "pain" is most likely :heart: muskle not getting enough O2 under strain. It's sort of like a regular muskle geting tired only it's more important that the heart not sez enough and go sit on the bench :uhoh:
It's of course possible there are misaligned valves or weird muskle growths causing the problem but they prolly woulda been caught based on sound and :heart: rhythm. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be an :egg: ploratory thang where they hope to see sumthin and sez "ok there's the problem" :yes:
I'm sure :b: would like a quick fix so he can just do what he wants/needs to does and a quick angioplasty and or a stent or two would fit the bill BUT I'm hoping the test shows nuthin :nono: and they goes with :egg: sercise hypertension :yes: Not just because I'd be right :nono: BUT I thinxz one he stops worrying about it and things get a little less :crazy: he'll start improving AND for him :sun: bathing is likely gonna be a doog thang for boths anti-psoriassis AND :heart: thang :angel:
Eventually he'll need some autophagy :bump: ffuts and doog :vibes: for his :heart: mitochondria but then that's how you beat Superannuated Senescence Syndrome ... ya noes in :siguie: style :headbang:

Speaken of which you should google ffuts about the Thymus gland in particular in conjunction with the Thyroid and toss in spiritual and chakra ffuts :yes: I'm quite sure you'll enjoy the :woo: journey :bliss:

although the germanese covid19 #'s are higher than ever-
there will be no lock-down (so says the Bavarian head of state)
(except exclusion for those non-vaccinated and no-recovered)
:uhoh: :sigh:
even hubby is kinda scared that I might "bring it back" from werk..............

I read that Austria may be locking down unvaccinated. :huh: :scared:
:popcorn: for the more to tell... :vibes: :hugs:
Sig...I has read about thymus/thyroid/spiritual/chakra ffuts. It's abouts opening 3rd eye & finding one's true voice.
The reasoning for so many women hasing thyroid issues is supposedly related to women being suppressed for ages & ages.
Someday I shall has my thyroid tested again. :chuckle: I feel like I've remissed. :wiggle:
And I immediately thunk of the :zanna: clan when you rattled off the schizo info. :hearts:
So :b: has not had another frightful episode (the extreme pressure/hypertension/tachycardia..what a word :chuckle: ) since the last one. And he's been working too many hours & sleeping too little but elsewise feeling 'fine'. He does say that when he's really active at work (he walks a LOT) he feels tightness & slight shortness of breath but he's about gotten used to that & says it's not too bad.
But yes, he HAS to know. :righton:
I likes this doctor tho cuz he's seemingly not a pill pusher. The local 'provider' already wanted him on cholesterol & blood pressure meds. I says JUST SAY NO! :rofl: I think it was Nancy Reagan who coined that phrase. Before your time. :p
So yesterday was a day... :crazyeyes: I spent over 2 hours on the phone :no: (to 2 different peoples) which is very very rare for me.
Found out a very old fambily friend, the wife of :papa: 's late bass player, is/was in hospice & actively dying. :candle:
Found out my sis-in-law had a lumpectomy & has Stage 0 (is that a thang?) cancer. :huh:
And I spent a bunch of time :om: :namaste: cuz eerbody has dramas & ailments & somethins...

"although the germanese covid19 #'s are higher than ever-

That is both reasonable and :egg: pected :yes: though it prolly would be better after Germany reaches the 75% vaccination rate BUT it's also a doog idea that will git more people vaccinated sooner :yes:
As long as the Delta variant is dominant the vaccinated and or recovered have little to worry about :yes: The problem is that Delta replicates sooo quickly that even the vaccinated can spread the virus BUT even with few antibodies after more than 6 months of no :egg: posure the majority of people even the elderly are not in much danger :nono:
Ideally you should git a booster iffen you and or hubby are worried :yes: BUT I would say for you both a seasonal flu (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) would be a better investment over a covid booster :yes: BOTH shots if possible but the main concerns should be your daughter and mother :yes:
Germania has one advantage and one disadvantage ... the advantage is you all seemed to does much betterer with the masking and social distancing compared to the US :thumbs: The key disadvantage is the rampant :beerme: and alcohol consumption ... the same is true for places like Russia though that's more vodka than :beerme: :horror:
Alcohol and the Immune System (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4590612/)
"This issue of Alcohol Research: Current Reviews (ARCR) summarizes the evidence that alcohol disrupts immune pathways in complex and seemingly paradoxical ways. These disruptions can impair the body's ability to defend against infection, contribute to organ damage associated with alcohol consumption, and impede recovery from tissue injury."
That article is more than 5 years old but basically not only does alcohol slow and suppresses the immune system it makes pneumonia more likely :roll: which for covid can really be a death sentence.
Oh and in China the higher covid death rate is likely due to smoking :yes: and wacked reporting :whistle:

"Sig...I has read about thymus/thyroid/spiritual/chakra ffuts. "
:woe:
Iffen yer gonna :woo: atleast git it right :buttkick:
That wiminzin :carp: is about the Thyroid and speechlosness :sealed:
The thymus gland is between 2 chackras and or is considered one of the secondary chackras depending on yer :woo: in Buddhism and Hinduism it's one of the 108 {114 if you count the 6 out of the body}.

Anywho ...
THYMUS CHAKRA
This Karmic Chakra (Thymus Chakra) is the "seat of the soul". Characteristics like 'unconditional love', 'forgiveness' and 'compassion' are some of the transpersonal features of this Higher Heart Chakra. I love to call it the Atma Chakra.
link (https://www.rudraksha-ratna.com/articles/thymus-chakra)
Anywho, it also happens to be one of the chakras associated with your HO'OPONOPONO chant/prayer thang :oz:
K here's the thang the immune system is complicated and one way or another EBERYTHANG gits involved, however, the Thymus Gland is the bit responsible for training what can be attacked and what should not be attacked as in prolly a key role in autoimmune ffuts.
Here's two easy to unerstanz youtubes ...
Those are two not too long very doog and easy to unerstanz videos :yes: This should really be the minimum that most people should noes ... though the spleen is another big thang they hasn't gotten to yet :nono:

IF they don't see anythin oblivious and :siguie: right agin :irule: I would guess that his :heart: is the weakest link in the :b: chain ... which is not necessarily a bad thang :nono: he's still improving :yes: just the way he handles stress and the life of a :crazy: person makes his :heart: susceptible and in need of autopHagy along with siguie brand infrared light therapy :muaha:

Anywho, it also happens to be one of the chakras associated with your HO'OPONOPONO chant/prayer thang :oz:
Quote from: WikipediaNancy Reagan
The "Just Say No" slogan was the creation of Robert Cox and David Cantor, advertising executives at the New York office of Needham, Harper & Steers/USA in the early 1980s. In 1982, the phrase "Just Say No" first emerged when Nancy Reagan was visiting Longfellow Elementary School in Oakland, California.

K here's the thang the immune system is complicated and one way or another EBERYTHANG gits involved, however, the Thymus Gland is the bit responsible for training what can be attacked and what should not be attacked as in prolly a key role in autoimmune ffuts.
Here's two easy to unerstanz youtubes ...
- How The Immune System ACTUALLY Works – IMMUNE
- You Are Immune Against Every Disease <= this one has the Thymus role
Those are two not too long very doog and easy to unerstanz videos :yes: This should really be the minimum that most people should noes ... though the spleen is another big thang they hasn't gotten to yet :nono:
Oh an yes I unerstanz the wanting to noes thang with :b: and I'm glad he hasn't started down the
route ... that road rarely ends well though I always appreciate the patronage :thumbs: IF they don't see anythin oblivious and :siguie: right agin :irule: I would guess that his :heart: is the weakest link in the :b: chain ... which is not necessarily a bad thang :nono: he's still improving :yes: just the way he handles stress and the life of a :crazy: person makes his :heart: susceptible and in need of autopHagy along with siguie brand infrared light therapy :muaha:
Srsly though :yes:

K so I keep forgetting (cuz there's so much to respond to :laugh: ) to tells you that I got him a near-infrared bulb.
Just to see iffin it helps afore investing in anything morerer.
I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N4JE9U6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
He likes the way it feels...like basking in the sun... but it has not helped stop nor slow the most recent flare up. :sigh:
And I cannot yet puzzle out why the dietary change triggered vast improvement in just a few weeks last year,
but now that we've made it a lifestyle rather than a 'diet' it seems to make no difference. :dunno:
Is it that the body is now used to the diet so it's not a 'switch-flipping' factor any more? :dunno:
He wants to get to a new dermatologist when he can...wants the relief the injections bring...but knows that the risk may outweigh the benefit. :sigh: Maybe there is another med (Talz, Otezla?) that is not as immune-unfriendly?
And no, I have not used the light other that when it first arrived, abouts a month ago. :ashamed:
He uses it almost every night. :yes:
Thymus :check: I does recall some of that.
Lordy, I has :book: s & :book: s that I began collecting 25 years ago. Read voraciously for a few years, then less frequently, then the internet ruined my :book: reading. :rofl: & I burned out on spiritual-type ffutses.
Beliefs changed, life changed, peoples changed, only Love remained the same.
So I just began focusing on that & letting eeerthang else be. :love: :om:
And then...like long lost thoughtforms that had sunk to the bottoms of the sea... :chuckle: ideas/concepts/words/images come bubbling back up to the surface all shiny & clean & ready to be looked at once again. :sparkle:
In other newses... I gotted the most spectacular $89 7' tall fiberoptic Christmas tree! :happydance:
I have never seen a tree like this before...every branch is independent & atttached to the 'trunk'. 360 of them!
And each one is lighted along the branch & then has the fiber optic filaments at the ends.
And, of courses, it changes colors continuously. :wubsigh:
:j: & I stared at it for hours last night. :hysterical:
And the only decorations I can see on it are maybe a couple old special ones...and maybe some new crystal ornaments that would reflect & diffuse & amplify the light! :wub:
It's rather fragile feeling. I mean I think I heard a branch snap when I was shaping it, but it still lights.
And I figger the (non-replaceable) lights will have a limited lifespan but for 89 buckaroonies... (yeah, it makes me think of :windy: :wub: )

He was seriously borked when we started the diet. :yes: We began around the new year (12/30 axshully) & he borked himself a couple weeks before that. He saw a provider a day or 2 before becuz his bp was high & he was having shortness of breath & chest pain.
And then he was seriously even more stressed becuz unemployment was 6 weeks delayed due to stoopid state stuffs & we were running out of monies.
And yes, we are talking psoriasis here. :righton:
But even with all that stress & extra physical ffuts the diet definitely improved the psoriasis steadily until :sun: weather :spring: & he was able to get outside (still at the nursery then).
The trigger for it worsening is lack of :sun: for sure. Always.
And yes, stress it the thing that flipped the switch to turn it on in the first place. :yes:
It began after he began work at Ford in KY. And maybe Dana is re-triggering becuz it is automotive-related & he worked with Dana peoples at Ford. Subconsciously. :sparkle: Consciously he will say that this boj is not stressful at all. It is a messed up place, but it's not :buttkick: ing :whip: ping :scream: ing stress such as the atmosphere at Ford. :nonono:
The nightshifting is stress tho. :yes: He'd much rather get up at 3AM than go to bed at 3AM. :crazy:
And...he would disagree but we are not nearly as strict on the diet as we once were. :nonono:
The biggest benefit tho is that he has completely broken his sugar addiction as well as given up caffeine completely. :faint:
This is the guy who carried quadruple espressos in his travel mug. :faint: And now he drinks slippery elm tea in the morning...mint teas later in the day. :faint:

3 snow leopards died of covid at a Nebraska zoo. :bawling: :candle::candle::candle:
And people are doing this:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/14/covid-vaccine-mandate-detox-borax-bath
:gaah:
What a :crazy: :butt: whirld we all live in. :bsc:
And in covid/energywork newses....3, count em, 3 astrologers &/or energyworkers that I have read for years & years have come out of the closet as 'freedom fighters' (my word tho I think there is such a group :huh: ). They have all spoke out at how we need to fight for our freedoms & not accept experimental vaccines. :sigh: :sigh:
Their conspiracy theories don't hold water. If they were truly trying to reduce the population then why not give the vaccine to all of the 3rd world nations? Instead, we let them continue to suffer.
If remaining a Pure Blood (that's what they call themselves :laugh: ) is superior, then why are so many of them dying from covid? :huh:
We went to a Christmas craft event thingy in Paris yesterday. We were in & out very quickly.
All 4 of us (J & J & ZA & me) wore masks.
There was ONE other person in a mask. A young girl with pretty green hair who was getting faery strands added to her hair. :laugh:
Nobody else in this large event space had a mask. :sigh:
Have I said "Doomed" lately?
:rofl:
We be inching towards the :fullmoon: And an eclipse, I believe. :wtf: :peekaboo:
Several soothsayers have sayed that the period between mid-Nov & mid-Dec will be quite tumultuous in some form or fashion.
Heaven forbid we stop tumulting for awhile. :hysterical:
Laugh when you can
Cry when you have to

First, 12/30/2020.
Second, yes he went back to the nursery in April-ish but no longer lifted the heavy concrete & ffutses himself.
He mostly sold shrubs. And he did continue with the chest pain & pressure but thunk it costo chondroitis & worked through it...but was in pain when he gotted home. He could not lie down flat for an hour or more....Propped up on 3 pillows.
He also had lots of new digestive ailments at that time (which are mostly gone).
Hence the 'he borked himself real good' thang. :sigh:
In July(?) he was fired. Which was a doog thang becuz his body could not take it any mores. :yes:
He could does a certain degree of laboring, as in lifting plants over & over...but not digging or chopping or anything requiring the full force of his being. :flex: And he got short of breath just walking around the nursery.
As for the pain being different... :dunno: And likely, neither does he. :sigh: I been working with him on how to really listen to his body becuz he's former AI who never really had anything to listen to other than a sprained ankle, carpal tunnel or tendonitis.
It's the 3 episodes of tachycardia/super high BP that are his main concern. During those he said it literally felt as though his heart was trying to push out of his chest wall. :huh: I reminded him that the :heart: is on the left & where he clutched was more center :laugh: but he insisted that his :heart: felt 'swole'.
The other exertion-related feels are just a mild pressure (he gave it a 3-4 out of 10) & slight shortness of breath.
(That, I believe could be out-of-shapeness dues to a year of radically reduced physicality)
But he/we still gotta know. :wiggle:
This past week he said he has felt mostly fine :yes: & had no 'episodes'. :nonono:
As for stress... :buttkick: his main woe-man has been the least stressiest thing in his life. :asilly:
The little woe-man (J ack i) CAN be extraordinarily stressful iffin one allows her to bother you, but he pretty much outgrowed that stressor 20 years ago.
As for the rest... :dunno:
He is adjusting to the boj. :wiggle:
And he IS realizing how nice it is to be able to bank some $$. :wiggle:
Iffin he can just keep a bit of :balance: with days off... he gets 3 weeks paid vacay PLUS 14 paid holi-days next year. :yes:
That's nearly 6 weeks (5 day weeks) off. Methinks that will help. I pointed out to him that his last check (net) was equal to 8 weeks of back-breaking, chest-breaking nurserywork & he went :huh: :faint:
And yes, the detox... :hysterical: :sigh:
They is also trying to cut & suck the vaccine back out. :wtf:
I did see a correlation between vaccination rate & intelligence... :whistle:
Oh & :b: gotted his booster yesterday. They would only give him Moderna becuz it's what he had before. :crazyeyes:
Walmart was the only Sunday shot place available.

To be fair pain isn't easy to describe and where you sense it isn't always where the hurty thang is :dunno:
Also yes the :heart: is on the left :yes: though just a little left of center and not where ya see teebee doctors werken :woe: but more importantly the main vascular conduits are centrally located :yes: So it is possible that the pain while :heart: induced might be n arterial issue a little further away which would be better depending on the issue :yes:

:clap: :clap: ha ha ha doog one :chuckle: sez the wooman hounding him to be more emotionally open and awarez of his pain :hysterical:
Yeah this is definitely a need to noes situation :yes: but I'm really hoping it's sumthin that can be fixed by a change in lifestyle vs throwing up a few stents and sezing that should hold ya for a few years :uhoh:
Oh Moderna is a doog choice :yes: it's what my dad gotted too for his booster but it was in the hopsickle and they just said come in for yer booster and didn't give him options :nono:
I'm actually considering another J&J for absolutely no reason other than I could :muaha: oh and I don't care for Pfizer and completing a collection :nono:

I don't know what lifestyle changes he could make? :huh:
He does want to start lifting again but not until his :heart: :check: s out ok. :flex:
But peoples at work always axe him if he lifts now. :chuckle: He is just naturally more muscular than the average :bear: (not referring to Hidatsa :chuckle: )
Elsewise...his phone says he walks about 12,000 steps a day. He eats lean & green :chuckle: , sleeps like a rock, laughs a lot, cries a little, drinks lots of water & a little bit of :wine: , doesn't smoke, has never been a couch :tater: , doesn't own a gun
He literally has no bad habits any more. :crazyeyes:
He was quite emotional...reactive...hot-headed...when he was younger, but then only at perceived injustices or himself :( , never directed at another person. His sisters thunk him overly emotional but that's just becuz they (& his mom) were emotionally repressed :chuckle: (stiff upper lip) & they did not understanz the scorpio persona as I do. :drama:
I am the Keeper of the Fambily Scorpios. :hysterical: My sister, B, J ack i, Chloe, another niece Emily (& now her husband :eek: )
Also my best friend in high school, first boyfriend, current hair stylist, closest co-worker (everyone was scared of him but me :hysterical: ), & I'm certain there are more... :muaha:
From a mind/body perspective tho his :heart: does easily break. :luvcry:
He loves fiercely & mourns fiercely. And he would take in & feed every stray animal (or person) on the planet if he could. :woe:
So yeah...his :heart: can be borked. From a lifetime of scars. :sigh: :shera:
One week from today we shall be in Nashville. :cheer:

:michafire: I have definitely felt like that :balloon: about to pop today. :wtf:
I have spent nearly 3 hours :frolicing: , :om: ing, sungazing-ish, :cloud: watching, stretching, yoga-ing & generally being
I feel 'anticapatory'...as if 'something's coming'. :chuckle: But something big. :yes:
I don't particularly feel sad, definitely not scared, maybe more of a sense of excitement? :scratch:
I've had fly-bys & affirmations from the buzzards & the crows. And lots of 8s & infinity symbols (sideways 8s :laugh: ) & :heart: in the :cloud: s
I kinda feel like I could cry, but :luvcry: & general release/relief
moreso than :cry: or :tantrum: or :bawling: :nonono:
Definitely feel like I could :boom: in the lesser form of a popping :balloon: :rofl:
Wonder if this is gonna keep building til :fullmoon: on Friday?

"I don't know what lifestyle changes he could make? :huh: "
Um yeah :roll: ... I was thinking more protein in his diet to be able to actually build muskles, perchance a sauna box to relax and decompress then maybe knock off the :woo: diets for a while :dunno:
Anywho perchance it is just some weird arterial bend that needs a stent :dunno:
In any event people with muskles require more protein than those that don't has muskles. In fact look at asian martial artists especially old ones from China. They are skinny and small literally because they ate very little protein. The newer asian marital artists actually have too much muscle AND are much taller simply because SUDDENLY their diets have changed.
The thang is some people are predisposed to be taller and musklier and their diets should not be the same :nono:
Also log like sleep skillz don't really mean anything other than he was really tired :therethere: More importantly does he catch up on sleep or has he just gotten used to functioning on less? I joke about my Sunday joyous sleep day BUT I really does noes my sleep schedule and requirements AND yeah I really does need my beautious rest.
Another thang people often git wrong is that sleeping straight through the night is doog while waking up periodically is bad ... it don't werk that way :nono: In fact there is a natural point after one or two sleep cycles where people are more likely to awaken. That said as long as you git 4 to 5 cycles per night and roughly 2 hours of deep sleep and 4 hours of light sleep yer basically fine. If you git less you will eventually need to make it up though it's not one to one AND iffen you don't but rather just git used to it THAT's where you begin internalizing the stress :yes:
Also how long agoes didja both stop puffing on the cancer sticks? :scratch: Yes arterial stiffening is reversible BUT while initial improvement is quick ... what is considered complete reversal depends on the amount of smoking and for how long and the relative health and age of the individual with a rough average being 7 to 10 years. Though most of the benefits return in 2 to 3 years on average.
In any event "lifestyle changes " is just a catch all pHrase that don't mean anything other than some lifestyles are healthier than others and you should pick another one. I'm hoping they find nuthin untoward and drop kick the diagnosis to age related sumthin with possible exercise induced hypertension 'cuz that puts the ball in my court :muaha:
Srsly :yes: mitochondrial activation and autophagy and overall age reversal :bliss: ya noes them thangs I've been playing with for years :oz:

Yep. In the past is me. :huh: :pie:
In the future is also me. :eip:
Now I am. :om: :p
Firstly, he eats a LOT of protein. :yes: Just not beef or pork. :nonono:
And is not on any :woo: diet. :rofl: We just don't eat nightshades & eat tons of fruits & veggies.
Take yesterday...I made him "loaded cabbage noodles". Fried cabbage with a few stalks of celery, little carrot & onion & then I added sliced browned turkey smoked sausage & whole wheat penne pasta. It was a twist on his Mom's simple cabbage & noodle dish. Nothing woo abouts that. :nana:
Omitting eggplant (which he does not like), peppers, white potatoes & tomatoes does not negatively affect a thing. :woe:
Today he's having mango curry... sweet potatoes/onion/celery/carrot/durt sponges in my famous coconut milk mango curry soup base. :drama:
With chicken. And brown rice. OR jasmine? :scratch: We does eat white rice sporadically.
Far from :woo:
And we quit smoking almost 10 years ago. June 2012. :sparkle:
Oh & he eats a lot of chicken. :yes: A lot of tuna. :yes: A lot of cheese. A lot of yogurt. A lot of everything. :laugh:
He has a very fast metabolism. :run:
And at work he sustains on KIND protein bars, Cliff bars, etc. Whatever I can get at Tommy's (my Asian friend's non-asian store).
And a LOT of peanut butter & celery. For reals...he eats it like candy. :laugh:
:broccoli:
If you thunk it's Monday but axshully it's Toosday then wouldn't time be speeding up? :scratch: :pie:
YOU were the slowy downer. :rofl:
K. Gotta go make a :woo: meal. :wiggle:

Or is it? :hmm2:
Nope yer wrong feelz like another Thursdazed :gaah: :buttkick:
"And is not on any :woo: diet. :rofl: We just don't eat nightshades & eat tons of fruits & veggies."
:woe: What part of :woo: do you not unerstanz? :wall:
Um yeah you list a lot of protein sources but can you tell me how much he actually gets?
Whey protein is the most bioavailable followed by eggs. Chiken I thinxz was like 75% or there abouts :scratch: but peanuts are around 40% and peanut butter tends to be mixed with palm oil to prevent separation :whistle: Then there's the whole essential amino acid thang and of course the question of how much protein he actually needs. For normal guyz it's basically 1g per kg for active with musklez 2g+ depending.
That aside ... you mentioned that you and J ack i have a tendency towards swollen ankles and yer bp is normal to low which suggests yer albumin levels are low WHICH is common for veggie types :therethere:
So if :b: eats what you eat with just protein bits added AND he's the muskular type then yeah it might be a thang to look into OR perchance not :idunno:
June 2012 :faint: I woulda called that 9 years but dang time sure did :psifly: :rimshot:
:horn: Hey durty one has you heard anythin from Pandora?
It's :bean: awhile and it might just be she had unusually doog weather BUT it looks like in the next few daze things will be cha cha changing ya noes cooling off :shiver: It sure would be nice to noes she and clan pan are ok :whistle:

It IS Thuzdaze!!! :happydance:
I think. :chuckle:
:b: was informed last night...after a 15 hour shift. :sigh: ...that he is working both Saturday and Sunday. :huh:
I am holding space that they change their minds :sparkle: Or that the workers simply refuse. :chuckle:
10+ hours for 7 consecutive days. :sigh: Makes fat paychecks IF one stays alive to spend such monies. :wtf:
And Lord! :woe:
1) I only buy the peanut butter that contains peanuts & salt. Nothing else. And usually I mix it in the ninja & then scrape it back into the jar.
2) There has been no ankle swelling for months. And it was J & B...not me. And only B since his injury-days, but not recently.
3) He gets plenty of protein....when he eats at all. :sigh: He doesn't take time to eat when he's working stoopy hours & will likely get skinny once again. He won't do protein powders in any shape or form. I've tried a dozen or more (mostly whey, some vegan) & he :yucky: s at them all...even added to smoothies. I use greek yogurt in smoothies & he drinks kefir almost daily.
4) many days he eats an egg sammich (I makes the best!) with 2 eggs, cheese & on whole grain bread on his way to work. Abouts 30 grams protein there. Yesterday he had boneless chicken breast sammiches on whole wheat buns (my"Asian Granny" chicken...adapted from Mom's 'granny chicken' but with Tamari added) I put the curry off til today.
Anyway...ain't got time for a dietary journal. :nana:
:sparkle: Pandora :sparkle: I too have been thinking about her a LOT! Thinking to text but always when I don't have my phone on me. (She doesn't cling to her phone either :nonono: ) I am super doog at thinking of peoples...sending them :love: ...holding space for them... but not so doog at axshully contacting them. :ashamed: I guess it's becuz I think they oughta just knows it when I think of them. :chuckle:
:horn: Eclipse begins tonight for :michafire: & even :siguie: Just after midnight here on :elvis: time.
I dunno what time the :fullmoon: is exact. :dunno: Hoping our :cloud: s clear.
We had a cold front move in :shiver:
Happy TODAY, youses!

So :b: showed me on his phone that he'd walked 15,800 steps last night. :faint:
According to this: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/health/steps-miles.php
He walked around 8.73 miles & burned around 1000 calories. :yes:
And he says he feels the tightness in his chest maybe half dozen or so times a night, but nothing severe.
He still says there's some degree of blockage.
He ain't that out of shape iffin he can keep up the pace he works at.
In other newses...I am seriously thinking about joining :enorah: 's webcast/teleconference today at 2. :vsparkle:

:hearts:
So get this....no :cloud: s here. The :sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle: was spectacular. :wubsigh:
At about 3AM I awoke to a clatter
& got out of my bed to see what was the matter
Then I found B with his curry, reclined
I says, "How's your lunch?" & he replies, "It's quite fine"
So I sat on my footstool to chat for a spell
When SUDDENLY rembrance rang me like a bell.
I ran to the door & looked up to the sky
And then I exclaimed, "Oh my, my my my"
B says, "What is it?" I say, "The eclipse"
And he rushes to look & says, "Yes, I forgets"
And somehow I knew, tho I didn't know I did
Just when to wake up to see the moon (almost) fully hid!

Srsly you prolly has some type of nasal infection that spreads to a sensitized Eustachian tube :yes: It's a minor thang BUT ya might wanna try CS (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) spraying as well :yes:
When I does my ears I does cs/peroxide in the ears and CS spray in my (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) and cs drops in my eyes :yes: There's a reason for the Otolaryngology speeshulty { :secret: ENT ear, noes, mouth} ... eberythang is connected and easily infect one another so I CS bomb :boom:
"Maybe...iffin I tried I could get a 'doog'. :hysterical: "
Unlikely :console: but :buttkick: s aplenty :yes:

The CS ear trick does not work like it did the first time. :nonono:
Yesterday was rough. :crazyeyes: All day & still today & (brace yourself) you may be correct it may be a sinus-y, ENT (I (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) what that is :p ) kind of thang.
I will does a :boom: soon as I gets done here.
I am fine long as I am totally still. But I doesn't has time to be still any more! :no:
Oh & in Universal Ironic Fashion...while I was still yesterday the internets was borked. :wtf: Even on my phone. :wtf: :wtf:
I gots hopsickles & Thanksgivings to prepare for.
I feel drugged. :crazyeyes: Ugly-drugged. :luna: Head pressure, unsteadiness...even moving a bit here at the table makes me woozy. And I been hasing sweats & chills...but no fever. And yesterday my BP was high. :huh: Like real high (167/85) Itook a hot shower which brought it down 30 pts temporarily, drank a LOT of water & hibiscus tea. Enough to get me up 3x last night. :crazyeyes: Took 2 naps. And moved very very slowly. So slow the kitchen only ever got half cleaned. :sigh:
We gotta go see the Clifford movie at 2 today so I gotta go :boom:
I find it inneresting that this seems to have been triggered by the :enorah: teleconference & then the actual eclipse viewing itself. :sparkle: Tho in hindsight I do recognize I've been extra clumsy & a bit off-kilter for several days. Like when you just kinda tilt :gle: to one side & balance on one foot & says, "Whoa there...". :chuckle:
BP is back... 120/81. So that ought help me find some stability. :chuckle:
:wig: :gle:
Oh & it's not a one-sided vertigo any more. :nonono: I feels it mostly when I look up...but movement in any direction & in an fashion triggers it.
Off to :boom: myself up.
:spitcoffee:

I am 50-70% better. :cheer:
Got the rest of the kitchen cleaned :rofl: & ready to go see Clifford the Big Red Dog :wub:
I am certain you were 'right', sig. It was a whole inner ENT thang rather than the crystals in the right ear.
I still walk a bit like I ain't got my sea legs under me, but no severe vertigousness when I move. :clap:
And my BP is 118/68. :cheer:

Well when ear thangs keep coming back it's usually a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) or throat thang :yes: Though honestly iffen yer making CS that werks you should prolly just gargle an ounce or two morning and night until it really does clear up :yes:
I thinxz yer getting a little too overly concerned about blood pressures :dunno: Yer bp should NOT be stable unless yer sitting down doesing nuthin for a decent period :nono: Even then I would neber trust an automated bp thang :nonono:
Yer prolly feelin dizzy :luna: on account of the throat thang reaching yer ear{s} plus any associated inflammation :yes:
"Clifford the Big Red Dog" I neber even heard that was a thang coming out :sofa:
Sunday :bliss:
I was sooooo tired but not no morez :ura: :cheer:
I think one reason people are feeling tired now is the sun goesing down so early ... it's only a little after 4pm here and it's already dark :uhoh:

Does you know of Clifford from the books? :dog:
Or did you skip over the childhood books in favor of text books? :pie:
I guess there was an animated TV show, too, but I only knowed the :book: s.
It was really cute. :yes: And I cried at the end. :laugh: :luvcry:
But I am well. :wiggle: Mostly. :matt:
I wlll continue with the :cs: through tomorrow at least.
But I DID feel the BP difference yesterday... the veins behind my knees were bulged & tight...my whole body felt full of pressure (yeah, I figger that's why they calls it blood pressure :roll: ) ...and my head felt 'swimmy', similar to when I usta be anaemic-ish. But I think the severe vertigo caused the elevation in blood pressure...
Doesn't matter now. :nonono:
I'm just happy to be healed :cleanse: Halleluijah! :hail: Cuz it's balls to the walls tomorrow. :bsl:
Whereforever does that expression come from anyway? :rofl:
It really makes no sense.
This week...:b: has worked 84 hours. :faint: Minimum. :faint: Plus 14 hours travel time.
He does get OT pay over 60 hours. If not, he'd say :bye: Cya! :rofl:

We leave at 5AM. I'll prolly carry the notebook cuz my phone battery will die iffin I internets too much. :chuckle:
The procedure is at 10 & they say they usuallly run on time. They say it will take 30 minutes if all is clear...up to "several hours" if not. :dunno:
J is going to Mom's today & then they will come tend the critters. I gots to get the house ready, J ready, B ready, me ready :rofl: ...
I've already cut the cupcakes & may be postponing the caramel corn. We don't eat that ffuts anyway...J just wanted to make & share.
But I has made Chex mix & will be making more. I makes the best! :righton:
I substitute oil (avocado this time, often olive) for most of the butter...Lawry's seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pinch of cayenne ( :siguie: trick), worschestershire, red hot & the biggest secret of all...300 degree oven for 1 hour, stirring well every 20 minutes. :yes: The 'new' directions say to microwave. :no:
Oh & homemade bagel chips. :yes:
Energies, energies... :frantic: There was somethin about today... 11/22... :dunno:

Not sure about all planes but the vintage prop planes had 4 separate throttles that you mooved together with one hand and you could adjust to make turns more sharply. So a left turn would be slow the engines on the left and speed up the right ... this is a "flat turn" :oz:

So they took him back on time. :sparkle: 10:00 on the dot.
And the cardiologist admitted that he was completely surprised that :b: failed the stress test so badly.
He says, "And for that reason I will not even venture a guess as to what we're gonna find."
I just had a $9 6" veggie sub from Subway. :crazyeyes: There oughta be a law against franchises jacking up their prices when they have 'hostage' customers.

He's done. :cheer:
No stents. :nonono:
But... he has a totally blocked right artery. :faint: And when they tried to put a wire through it, it was like cement.
Tho get this...his body has activated collateral circulation & the tiny capillaries are growing & functioning essentially bypassing the closed off artery. :faint: The doctor also said those veins will continue to get bigger & stronger over time.
We still don't know if this explains the pain/pressure/shortness of breath & all that. :huh:
It kinda seems that he is going home exactly as he came in except with new knowledge. :yes:
We will be here another 3-4 hours & hopefully get more understanding if it's here to be had. :chuckle:

He goes back to Nashville on 12/1. The doctor initially said 2-3 weeks but when the discharge papers came he was scheduled on 12/1...a week from today. I think it's cuz I talked to the doc about his working hours...how concerned I was last week... & he said he would put restrictions on his hours if it wouldn't cause him trouble at work so I figure he wants to see how he is after working 2 nights. :yes:
He also put him on low dose aspirin, lisonipril 5 mg (last time he was prescribed that it was 20 mg :faint: ) & lipitor 40 mg.
He tolded me he wanted to take the pressure off the new network, as he called it, until it gets bigger & stronger. :flex:
He said he'd rather put him on a beta blocker but his resting heart rate is too low. (42-45 on the monitor there yesterday. )
I'm ok with the meds for now, to help his body out, but am thinking/hoping it can be a temporary thang. :yes:
:b: 's head is still spinning. :crazyeyes: Not like me :wheee: :rofl: Figuratively.
He is blown away by what his body has done & I just laughed & said, "You knows I've always called you AI..." :rofl:

Drugs are fine ... though I don't like Lipitor :nonono:
42-45 :faint: that's lower than mine and I'm considered the weird one :hmm:
Yeah technically what he needs is time for the squid bits to grow fully but honestly you can already tell he was getting better. And in order for the ffuts to grow fully you want the :heart: to strain just a wee little bit :yes:
I sez get him an oxygen concentrator :happydance:
Oh it's not strange for a :heart: or organ to revasculate when there isn't enough blood flow :nono: There's actually a few speeshul genes and enzymes but most people have them (~80%) :yes:
The wacky part is that type of plaque is more generally found in smokers AND it takes years generally decades to build up. The fact that it must have grown to the point of nearly closing BUT never clogged completely is probably tied to the time you quit smoking. While partially blocked the :heart: began the repipping process so when it blocked completely there was secondary blood flow available.
The time between narrowing and being closed off completely is the fascinating part :yes: 'cuz it will almost certainly be timed to :woo: diet :yes: Oh and more importantly are there any other narrowings or blockages? I'm betting :nono: the cath lab should have noted anythin :heart: related :yes:
Now that's a coinkidink fer sure :yes:
42-45 :faint: that's lower than mine and I'm considered the weird one :hmm:
Yeah technically what he needs is time for the squid bits to grow fully but honestly you can already tell he was getting better. And in order for the ffuts to grow fully you want the :heart: to strain just a wee little bit :yes:
I sez get him an oxygen concentrator :happydance:
Oh it's not strange for a :heart: or organ to revasculate when there isn't enough blood flow :nono: There's actually a few speeshul genes and enzymes but most people have them (~80%) :yes:
The wacky part is that type of plaque is more generally found in smokers AND it takes years generally decades to build up. The fact that it must have grown to the point of nearly closing BUT never clogged completely is probably tied to the time you quit smoking. While partially blocked the :heart: began the repipping process so when it blocked completely there was secondary blood flow available.
The time between narrowing and being closed off completely is the fascinating part :yes: 'cuz it will almost certainly be timed to :woo: diet :yes: Oh and more importantly are there any other narrowings or blockages? I'm betting :nono: the cath lab should have noted anythin :heart: related :yes:
Now that's a coinkidink fer sure :yes:

No. Everything else was fine...minimal plaques, he said. And the :heart: itself was in excellent condition with no sign of previous :heart: attacks or damage. :faint:
Even the cardio..who is in his 60's at least (I noticed him groan when he bent over from his stool to pick up a paper on the floor :chuckle: ) , said he was "quite unusual".
:pey: It's a findmuck. :rofl:
So 2011 we quit pork & beef (for the mostest part...he still eats an occasional :burger: )
2012 we quit smoking
2013-15 we were professional growers
2015-18 he had a sit-down boj & gained fiddy pounds :faint:
2018-2020 he was more active...and a boss in production at same place
2020 he was down-sized
2020-2021 he worked at nursery & lost the 50 pounds plus got way way way more active...up until he completely borked. :faint:
2021 we cut out all sugars & fried doof & (woe is me) nightshades :chuckle: & went super heavy vegetation.
At the nursery he joked that he was a fruititarian & he really did eat crazy lots of fruits. Mostly fresh, but also canned & frozen.
So the nursery prolly almost pushed him over the edge but also helped the new network grow. :shera:
And him being fired likely saved his life as well. :faint:
In hindsight, eeerthang has happened exactly as it needed to. :sparkle:
Oh, we gotted our flu shots yesterday while we was at the pharmacy. :shera:
And Lucille gotted new tires. :chuckle: For real, they says your car represents your body in dreams & in symbolic associations.
He's been driving Lucille...worn out tires...tires are what make you go...so new tires on Lucille perfectly aligns with new life for :b:
Funny auto coinkidink :p ...he had to have a new engine in his truck just before he was downsized from Euro, which is prolly the timeframe in which the actual new network began to take over for the 'dead' artery. :faint:
And yes, you are correct, we have already noticed him getting better...so much that I doubted they would find anything at all. :laugh: AND...tiwce before he was referred to this cardiologist...once when his BP spiked so after being downsized & he actually had an apppointment scheduled, but it was cancelled due to covid & then he felt better, plus we had no insurance. And then he was referred again nearly a year ago when he borked himself at the nursery & hadded bad chest pains.
But if he had gone sooner, the artery might not have been closed & he may have had a stent or even a bypass :eek:

Yeah yeah Happy :turkey: day to youses too :wave:
Wow dad eats a lot of :pie: :faint:
BUT he's happy so thangs are doog AND I didn't make none of them :nono:
Smoking tends to produce the hardened calcified plaque buildups partially due to loss of vascular elasticity. For the most part arteries 'n such are always :egg: panding and contracting so the harder plaques do not stick well but the softer more malleable plaques from cholesterol "can".
My "guess" is that decades of smoking created an area that became fitted with a growing calcified plaque, like a cement pipe inside an elastic tube. This prevents the artery from elasticizing and slooolwly allowed additional buildup over time. He was prolly never consciously aware that part of his :heart: was not getting enough oxygen because the body requlates such thangs well and because he remained strenuously pHyzically active as the oxygen dwindled the heart simply created a new supply route.
Being active sets an upper limit for what the body is :egg: pected be able to does ... so his :heart: tried to maintain that level AND because that level was only reached when quite active the size/quantitiy of the collateral circulation needed was only that smaller amount.
His getting hurt was horribly miss reported :frantic: messed up memos :buttkick: and was almost certainly a pulled muskle in his chest along with a dislocated collar bone :roll: That time however, reduced his fitness level plus added to his worries. It was likely around this time that the clogginess became complete :yes: :heart: burn espeeshully :heart: burn that does not resolve with antacids is a classic sign of a :heart: attack :yes:
One way or another at some point the artery closed up completely AND the reason he didn't notice is because the collateral circulation at that point was enough to keep that part of his :heart: alive and active even at moderate :egg: ercise levels. When the :egg: ertion :egg: ceeded this level either in intensity or duration the :heart: cells that needed more oxygen went on strike producing the "events".
Since he has not really "taken it easy" he continues to "push" his :heart: which is what's making the collateral circulation bits grow :flex: and fuel his recovery.
Stopping the cancer sticks was the first step 'cuz :duh:
The second step was the :woo: diet{s} because between the time that his :heart: noticed a flow problem and began erecting the collateral circulation devices AND the artery completely being clogged ... he was at severe risk of :heart: attackage because his main artery was no longer elastic and constricting while his secondary pipping was small and not sufficient to keep his :heart: oxygenated. Both being narrow means bp :bump: but more importantly thin pipes are easier to clog which is why doog health at this point was crucial.
That said the :woo: diet{s} did tend to coinkidinkilly conform to certain harsh restrictions that promoted nitric oxide release {elasticizer}, blood thinning and stress relieving. In other wurdz the time from total blockage to the collateral circulation could maintain the :heart: woulda :bean: a terrible time to has a blood clot, vaso constrictors or decreased vascular elasticity :horror:
Fer realz there is no denying the 100% blocked artery :nono: and yes :b: gits the credit for doesing the werkaround :beerme: but it's kinda hard to deny the truth that he got the time needed to heal because of a certain :crazy: :woo: man nagging him to health :yes:
As for his medication ... yeah fine aspirin is ok but it doesn't do what most people think unless they thinxz it's just slightly fewer platelets in the blood. As for Lisinopril 5mg is ok I doubt if it will have significant effect on blood pressure but it's a bit of a safety blanket ... IF he had a :heart: attack this ffuts tends to reduce damage a lot like aspirin so not sure why both other than it prolly wont hurt nuthin :nono: Yeah 20mg is what he'd need for bp control so prolly not that :nono:
The one medication I unerstanz BUT do not agree with is the Lipitor. His cholesterol and triglycerides are a little high so iffen he had sticky goopy plaques cloggin arteries then yeah fine BUT he doesn't. His other vascular bits are otherwise unclogged at his current mix of cholesterols and triglycerides so don't mess with them :fist: In other wurdz Lisinopril :unthumbs:
Iffen ya weren't aware I don't believe there is a direct link between cholesterol and triglycerides with :heart: disease :nono:
BUT I am thankful he's ok too :yes: :heart: :hug:
AND yes I is thankful to all my :bsca: friends from around the whurld :yes:

That pictograph was a work of art! :hi5:
I especially liked the 3 :egg: :egg: :egg: in the midst of all the :heart: s. :rofl:
And the smattering of :woo:
:bsl:
:thanks: for the :egg: cellent :egg: splanation.
As for the lipitor...:nonono: I don't likes statins period, but I readed this:
QuoteThe recommended starting dose of LIPITOR is 10 or 20 mg once daily. Patients who require a large reduction in LDL-C (more than 45%) may be started at 40 mg once daily. The dosage range of LIPITOR is 10 to 80 mg once daily. LIPITOR can be administered as a single dose at any time of the day, with or without food.
and since he started him at 40 I figgered he might has a plan. :dunno: (Or maybe a habit. :yes: )
I will address it on Wednesday cuz, amembers, the doc said he really didn't buy into the connection between cholesterol levels & :heart: issues at the first visit. :yes:
He may be trying to cover his own :butt:
So last night Cookie came in smelling like a :skunk: :woe:
It's been a long time...Chico was our skunk chaser. :sigh:
So :b: was wiping her face down with a rag, slowly & gently...but it kicked in the chest discomfort & his oxygen level dropped to 88, but hovered more around 92-4. :sigh: His heart rate was around 90 as well.
He was sooooo tired all day yesterday. Slept 12 hours, took a 2 1/2 hour nap, & now he's still sleeping going on 12 hours once again. Also his voice was weak & raspy & his color was pale yesterday so I figger his oxygen was low all day.
So how is an oxygen concentrator different from a regular ol oxygen tank that peoples use?
And howfore (new drow, automagically approved :p ) would one use it?
And should we contact the doctor today (if his O2 is still low this morning I says yes) rather than wait til Wednesday?
He's eaten too many sweets & 'wrong' doofs in the past 2 days so I tolded him that today it's back to high volume fruits & veggies.
My infamous chop suey with his favorite frozen fruits with agave (I keep giant bags of Kroger mixed which has grapes, cherries, peaches, mango, strawberry & pineapple...massive anti-oxidants :p )
Elsewise...all is well. :wiggle:

:horn: Call the :heart: Doctor NOW !!!
I don't quite understand what happened ... was he actually kicked in the chest? Otherwise it sounds like a Lipitor side effect. Srsly look it up but there are all sorts of effects fatigue and nausea being the most common but all sorts of others including muscle loss or sumthin similar.
There's a doog chance the doc will say stop all medications {'cept maybe aspirin :scratch: } and see what happens :yes:
:check: his bp? Low blood oxygen levels shouldn't be a thang :nono:
His :heart: issue makes it so his :heart: cells that are nourished by the new capillaries/arteries could be under perfused and lead to chest pain in which case he would need oxygen BUT the rest of him should be fine unless his :heart: is under performing. In which case his BP will be high or his :heart: rate unusually low.
Iffen his :heart: rate becomes low AND bp is LOW too you may need to raise his bp with sumthin like salty broth ... ya noes Knorr cube kinda ffuts :yes:
An oxygen tank is a one use and recharge system that is hard to manage and runs out quickly. An Oxygen Concentrator uses an air pump and a speeshul membrane to separate the O2 in the air and pump it down a line, typically a mask or nasal cannula.
Iffen you need a LOT of pure oxygen quickly like for an acetylene torch you want an O2 tank. If you just need some increased level of oxygen for breathing porpoises then you want a concentrator. Mobile concentrators are also easier to use than a tank and as long as you has :electrocute: you can has whatever level of O2 needed.
The other thang to take note of is "How much Pure Oxygen Per Minute " this is usually measured in litres per minute. Mine and dad's peak at 6 litres per minute, my original early pandemic choice was 9L/min :sigh:
To raise blood oxygen from 90% to 100% requires almost no effort for one of these thangs :nono: Like 1l/min :yes: In hopsickles one unit could be shared by numerous patients :yes:
There's also a reservoir for water to humidify the air going through ... I planned on using distilled water with colloidal silver if dad or I gotted the covid. It's a direct line for the silver to the lungs that way :angel:

"the covid" :rofl:
But now I wants one. :righton:
So his oxygen level came back up once he got moving about. And his bp was 129/65. Pulse 46.
But he still has chest pain & still is bummed about it. :sigh: He thought the procedure would relieve that...and eeerbody else in the fambily keeps axing me why it did not... :woe: I keep repeating that the procedure was primarily diagnostic & in Butch's case it was solely diagnostic. The doc was hoping to use meds to manage his symptoms. :huh: That's what he said anyway. But bottom line is he is exactly the same as when he went in.
I tells them that the chest pain will goes away when the new network gets biggerer & stronger & that the pain is actually a doog thing becuz it's a gauge for him to be able to moderate his activity level.
They don't seem to buy it. :chuckle:
Eeerbody seems to think he oughta be 'fixed'. :woe:
:b: wants to know how long til he actually feels better & I say :dunno: Maybe 6 months? Maybe a year. Depends on how long your body takes to get up to speed.
Fambily seems to think that the new network has just taken over & functions just like the old artery.
But B still has chest pain & feels like he's hasing a :heart: attack whenever he moves about. :sigh:
Nobody, except you, me & maybe Zen Aunt & the doctor, seems to unnerstanz what is going on. :sigh:
Mom thinks the problem is in his head. :sigh: I figger she heard that from my sister. :yes: They all tried their best to convince me that it was anxiety in the first place. :whistle: I noes :b: He's not the anxiety type & definitely not a hypochondriac. He's had some brutal, Zanna-type injuries & never skipped a beat. But the 100% blocked artery shoulda convinced them otherwise. :crazyeyes:
Doesn't matter what they think. It just makes more ffutses for me to deal with cuz eeerbody turns to me to esplain.
Truth is they are all worried he's gonna die & they try to whitewash & splain away ffutses so as to alleviate their own fears. :yes:
They all noes how important he is to J ack I & I. :hearts:
Vent over. :wiggle: :rofl:
Gotta get ready to go see the Ohio peoples off & then help Mom clean up & get ready for a bus trip to the Smokies on Monday :uhoh: Mom & ZA....definitely not me. :rofl:

:huh: This low bloodox and turning gray isn't a new thang? :scratch:
I thunked he was normal-ish :egg: cept when very active :dunno: AND those symptoms are very Lipitory :hmm2:
Also do ya noes his Iron levels? :matt:
The chest pain is not about blocked or not blocked it's about the localized perfusion and whether the :heart: cells that were fed by the now blocked artery are getting enough Oxygen and nutrients. Oxygen is generally the first thang cells run out of so that's the primary issue and generally what the cells are complaining about with the pain.
One of the thangs needed to transfer oxygen to cells is red blood cells and iffen his iron is low this could be a factor. Vegetarians are generally more prone to anemia 'cuz ya noes they eat in a vegetative state :no: yeah yeah I noes you throw some chicken or whatever into :b: s meals but srsly make sure his iron is above the minimum :yes: It will also make the repipping goes faster :oz:
"But now I wants one. :righton: "
Now :woe: EBERYONE should want one :yes: they is AWESOME :happydance: ... and yeah it would prolly relieve :b: s chest pain in a few minutes :yes: BUT like purty much eberythang I play with there are unspeculated dangers :uhoh: along with UNlimited Potential :gstars:
Srsly it's like with light therapies don't mess with ffuts too much until you unerstanz what you can git away with :yes: Oxygen burns eberythang and even though we needz it it can does more damage than doog :sofa:

I thunked he was normal-ish :egg: cept when very active :dunno: AND those symptoms are very Lipitory :hmm2:
Also do ya noes his Iron levels? :matt:
The chest pain is not about blocked or not blocked it's about the localized perfusion and whether the :heart: cells that were fed by the now blocked artery are getting enough Oxygen and nutrients. Oxygen is generally the first thang cells run out of so that's the primary issue and generally what the cells are complaining about with the pain.
One of the thangs needed to transfer oxygen to cells is red blood cells and iffen his iron is low this could be a factor. Vegetarians are generally more prone to anemia 'cuz ya noes they eat in a vegetative state :no: yeah yeah I noes you throw some chicken or whatever into :b: s meals but srsly make sure his iron is above the minimum :yes: It will also make the repipping goes faster :oz:

Well yeah, ok fine he does worries about J & I. He is a protector by nature.
I tolded youse that he would be the last one to get in a life boat if ever the situation arose. :sigh: :wub:
It's who he is.
But yes, the low oxygen & greyishness is new. He looks & feels considerably worse than after he worked the 80+ hour week last week. :yes: He looks like my late uncle who had many major heart issues.
He has no energy. And I tolded him that if he doesn't perk up tomorrow we're going to a Walk-in where they can check his blood (he did have anemia like 25 years ago...and was fully carniverous then :p ) Becuz he cannot go to work if he still be like he's been. :oz:
He messaged the doctor in the portal & told him his symptoms & that he "paused" the lipitor and the lisinopril becuz the worserness came since the procedure (& meds) & that's the only thing that changed.
Oh & it would be affects his :heart: , :smateypants: . Not effects. :nana:

It's easy for me to see the color changes cuz he's very olive-skinned. Others don't notice him pale. :chuckle:
He said the nurses asked him how he stayed so tan in the winter :crazy:

Anywho I'm very glad he's doesing better :beerme: Though I really REALLY don't unerstanz why his :heart: doc would prescribe the ffuts iffen his other arteries were clear :woe: I mean "yes" sumthin like a low dose amlodipine to has on hand if his BP were to spike but srsly Oxygen Concentrator and :boom: even his symptoms would go :bye:
As a kemyst and drug creator/artiste I appreciate the patronage BUT :hello: "prescription drugs " THIRD biggest killer in the whurld ... perhaps ease up on the prescriptionizing and only give the ffuts to people who actually need the :carp: :roll:

Artiste! :rofl:
B always says he's an artiste (with emphasis on the teeeeest) when he's taking photos.
And he "shushes" us or waves us aside, either into or out of his masterpiece. :hysterical:
So, you recalls me saying how I worked for an orthopaedic surgeon many many years ago?
I learnt a lot! But one thing I always remember is how aggressive the pharmaceutical reps were.
They brought us candy & :pizza: & samples...oh the samples. I had boxes upon boxes of individually wrapped tylenol (1990ish) & didn't hafta buy any for years.
But they also came in with scripted sales pitches. Doctor Wright (right :laugh: ) was a former chief-of-staff & my best friend's dad & he never ever saw a rep without an appointment, but he rarely saw reps at all. He said, "Hand me the literature & I'll do my own research". I overheard him many a time arguing with a drug rep about the purported miracle effects or alternative uses.
He was a science-minded doctor. A rare bird. :candle: He always told me to 'do my own research & don't just automatically accept that doctors know everything. We don't.'. That was when J ack i was little & I was dealing with lots & lots of doctors.
But I get how doctors know what they know for the most part. It's called marketing. :sigh:
And maybe a bit of 'patient pressure' becuz most patients feel cheated if they don't get a pill to take. :crazyeyes:
On Wednesday I plan to let Dr Gibson know that he/we are not "most patients" & would rather have no meds unless absolutely necessary.
Speaking of scientists...yesterday B flipped through channels & paused on a person talking about the Omicron variant.
She said, ""We've been very lucky with the vaccines so far". I says, "That's a doctor doctor, not a scientist, right?" And B says, "Yeah, she's an MD, why?" I says becuz I don't think a good scientist would use the word "luck". They'd say, "We've veen very successful with the vaccines so far."
Or not.

Oh the reps are just highly paid car salesmen pushing legal drugs :roll: the really "bad" part of the equation is drug company lobbyists :gaah:
Srsly I see no reason why these people should even be legal :gaah: Lobbying for a cause is one thang but a company hiring people or organizations to promote their drugs :woe:
Anywho, let the doctor prescribe whatever he wants :yes: It might be doog to has on hand, just remember you don't has to take any of it IF you don't want to :nono: Also before taking anything read the literature and decide if the benefits outweigh the risk ... iffen they don't then don't take them :angel:
However, ya really should ask about oxygen preferably in the form of an oxygen concentrator :whistle: Srsly though iffen they say here's a tank fine take it :yes:
Oh and here's the thang iffen the "pain" :b: feelz is more like a slight tightness AND it's only when doesing ffuts THEN he's fine as is :yes: Iffen howeber he starts feeling a stabby sensation that's when he should has O2 stat :yes:
He's growding new arteries which is AWESOME :thumbs: but it's literally like a muskle growding ... ya needz to push just a wee bit more to induce muskle growth. When the "pressure" goes away the muskle is done growding so you want to be sure it doesn't quit the process until :b: is able to does eberythang he needz including intense activities which increase :heart: requirements :yes:
Yeah I've been watching south africa and that's iterally the reason I gotted the J&J vaccine and honestly I think the Omydog variant is being over hyped ... yes it will prolly mean the current vaccines are less effective BUT while likely as if not more transmissible as Delta I think it's less prone to induce "severe covid". Atleast that's true in the vaccinated breakthrough cases so far. Obliviously it's too early to say one way or another BUT iffen it's more transmissible AND less severe then it's actually a very doog thang :yes: Think of it like getting :cow: pox to prevent smallpox only now the vaccine is more transmissible than the disease it prevents :yesss:

Yeah, even Biden said it's a variant of concern, not a variant of panic. :laugh:
And I axshully read an article saying what you sed (Not about :cow: pox :huh: ) that O'Micron might just be a blessing in disguise in that it could effectively wipe out Delta. :yes:
The doog thing about the hype is that when I was out yesterday I noticed quite a few more masks. :chuckle:
So... :crazyeyes: He wants the intermittant pain/pressure but not a stabby sensation. You mean like nerve pain/pins & needles stabs?
But whats about the BP? Last night at work he said he felt jittery so he had it checked. 169/87 67. So the 'nurse' checked it several more times to see if it would come down & it came down to 152/76 but the heart rate went up a bit to 72.
I noes those are not dangerous numbers ordinarily...but is that harmful to the baby network, as I calls it.
I tolded him to take the 5 mg lisinipril at bedtime. :zzz: I noes it's not a significant dosage but thunk maybe a placebo effect...plus, maybe he's just that thenthitive to meds? :scratch: He's never taken anything other than OTC antihistamines for itching, OTC cold/flu meds (which put him out!) ,a handful of hydros (spread out over 40 years) for toof ffuts, a round or 2 of prednisone for bites/stings, & of courses, the psoriasis injections. Elsewise. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
And back in his younger illegal drug days any kind of stimulant sent him way way :jumpy: & he knew he'd have a :heart: attack if he did that again. Once, at a party, he took what I think was valium but :dunno: for sure & he was passed out cold til like 2PM the next day. :uhoh: He never did that again either. :nonono: He couldn't even handle coffee back when, but he built up a tolerance. But now he does NO caffeine at all once more.
Gotta get a good list of questions for the doctor tomorrow. :check: It's too easy to forget ffutses when you has to sit & wait.
Something bout the exam rooms that wipe one's memory clean. :eek: :rofl:

It's a bit of give and take and tech :nickel: ly no you don't "want" any symptoms eber BUT when he's being generally active he should feel sumthin like what you feelz when running for a bit. :heart: rate :bump: and a bit of pounding ... not necessarily uncomfortable but that feelz like you is tiring kinda thang :yes:
The stabby pain you feel when you has run as far as your body is capable is too muches :faint:
Right now things will be a little odd 'cuz the weakest link governing his :heart: rate IS his :heart: normally it would be muskles used for heavy werk or :egg: sercise OR lung capacity like you feelz out of breath after sprinting.
IFfen he is resting or has been for atleast a few minutes his :heart: rate should be "normal" and the pressure too :yes: When he starts becoming active again he will likely begin to feel "pressure" building AND a little of that is what I am saying is not terrible :nono: It's what's telling the :heart: to build more pipping and does it snappy :yes:
The cardiologist will say " :thwack: that's yer :heart: saying slow down" and yes that's correct too :whistle:
Basically he's going to has to be the judge ... too much and :faint: but alternatively laying in bed for months wont help either :nono: though he wont feel any symptoms :dunno:
Also srsly ask about Oxygen espeeshully an oxygen concentrator, it will lower his :heart: rate quickly {assuming he stops what he's doesing} and his bp will drop shortly after :yes:
Iffen yer gonna ask about ffuts ... ask about Nitric Oxide Supplements ... personally I "think" they is a doog idea BUT I'm not sure in :b: 's case :dunno: :secret: Elasticizes vascular bits to help lower blood pressure :whistle:
Also amlodipine tiniest dose {I thinxz 5mg} just in case. Like most bp medications it takes a few weeks to hit its stride BUT there's generally a significant drop in 2 to 4 hours. Oh and yeah prolly sumthin like Lasix {furosemide} it's a diuretic ... any of them would be fine :yes:
Basically those two drugs and an O2 source and you could handle the majority of possible symptoms :yes: and mostly not need to take anythin regularly :nono:

So just before he left for work his BP was 104/60 & his heart rate 58 which is what I think his true resting heart rate is,
He only took the 5mg lisinoopril last night. :huh:
And he said he felt the best he had in over a week. :yes:
Though his sat level was still just 90-92. Likely that's been low for awhile now, we just weren't measuring it. :dunno:
And he says that makes sense to him as he likens it to running on 3 cylinders. Not an optimum amount of gas getting to the engine. :laugh: He had a 4 cylinder Ranger years ago that ran a long long time on 3 cylinders. :rofl:
So he really doesn't want to lower his BP any more than what it was just 30 minutes ago. :faint:
I had low BP & a tendency to :faint: up until I was 40 or 50. :yes:
And Lasix?? Eeerbody I know who's taken that has hated it. Mom, Dad, Uncle Byron, Buddy... They all say it makes them oh so very tired & then makes them get up half a dozen times at night to pee. So they all stop taking it.
I was fussing at him last night about water. We all tend to drink less when the weather changes. But I reminded him that water is made from oxygen. :duh: And Hydrogen. :wiggle: See? I noes my grade school kemystery. :nana:

Lasix removes water fast so iffen his BP is scary high :boom: not high no mores :nono:
I'm not thrilled with ace inhibitors neether :naughty: but they cause fewer dying issues than statins.
Iffen when he left he was ok then I say he needs nuthin in general but time to adjust and ffuts on hands if needed :yes:

Lasix removed water fast so iffen his BP is scary high :boom: not high no mores :nono:
I'm not thrilled with acr inhibitors neether ;naughty; but they cause fewer dying issues than statins.
Iffen when he left he was ok then I say he needs nuthin in general but time to adjust and ffuts on hands if needed :yes:
K. That's good information to keep in my pocket. :righton:

That hasn't happened in years. Zanna...Cake...Jen... they hated iffin I quoted somethin they later edited. :hysterical:
And they all tended towards obsessive editors. :rofl:
I was planning on that. :righton: The pocket info was primarily the Lasix thingy. And I thought (but didn't write) we can always get one from Mom. :chuckle: She has a pharmacy of ffutses. Especially from :papa: still. :scared:
But you never know when there might be a disaster scenario & someone gets a bad bad injury & cannot get to a hopsickle. :wiggle: Thankfully, none of us are addicts or I'd take it all to a disposal site. :yes:
Energies are amping upwards towards the next eclipsisis. :wtf:
WE are meeting B's big Sis at a Vietnamese restaurant after his appointment today. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
J ack i is going with us. (She can wait in the waiting room with her tablet) Cuz Mom is still mountaining :hayseed:
Gonna be a big day.

:gaah: yeah well my editationz were 'cuz I quickly posted from a pHone with autoincorrect :wall:
Anwho "Lasix " is furosemide and is one of the Loop Diuretics for thangs like :heart: failure which was just my guess at what would be prescribed/safe. There are also Thiazide diuretics for straight blood pressure control and Potassium-sparing diuretics ... this last one is more for kidney issues and people with low Potassium AND you Does NOT want to mix up with the others :nonono:
The point ... research the meds afores giving even thangs like diuretics :yes: Ideally take whatever the docs prescribe and hoard them until you can read the literature and decide iffen ya wants it or not :angel:
Yup neber throw out meds :nono: 'cept old tetracyclines they can be purty bad for ya :yes:
Oh that's right FULL eclipsicalz :bliss:
Also a solstification is a comin :gstars: ... soon ...
Mmmmm Vietnamese pHở :liplick: doog ffuts :yes:

:rofl:
20 minutes from home & typing in the dark. :rofl:
THe doof was excellent, I had vegetable pho with chicken broth. B actually had beef. :faint: They must grow their own bean sprouts & basil cuz it was so fresh.
Anyway..the doc really wants him to give the statin another try..and he went into detail, citing a study, of why he believed it was crucial cuz he wants his ldl down to 70. He says there are numberous studies showing the benefits of low ldl for patients with blockages & that diet alone would not do it. HE also told us that he had another artery that is 30-40% blocked :huh:
If he does has side effects again then he says to call him & he'll go to plan B.
Also continue with the 5 mg lisinopril at night & the baby aspirin.
He will see him in 6 months unless he was to have worsenening symptoms & then will do testing, maybe annually, to keep a close eye on the arteries.
HE did not think he needs oxygen...he said that is not heart related becuz the heart is in bery good shape & that should he continue to has low o2 levels he needs to see a pulmonologist. He recommended 30 minutes cardio 3x a week with a sustained heart rate of 120-130. :faint: And said he feels there is no risk from exertion at all. He also agreed that he woulda had a heart attack long ago had we not stopped smoking & changed our diet. :yes:
He/we does want to get some sort of oxugen concentator tho. :yes: The doc didnt believe anything could be done to foste the growth of the collaterals, but I disagrees. :yes:

I likes the word oxugen. :rofl:
It's hard typing blind on a smallish keyboard.
Anyway... eclipsisis! Total :sun: eclipse visible from Antartica. :shiver:
On Caturday, 12/4 just after midnight here so also Friday night for sure. :scared:
I believe...this is the final eclipse in a series of Gemini/Sag eclipses that began on June 4. 2020. A close of the door, they say. :huh:
And it also goes back to this:
QuoteIn astrology, the North Node and South Node are known as the Nodes of Fate, and, in our birth chart, can speak to strengths and weaknesses we incarnated with and offer details about our life path and where we're meant to head in this lifetime.
The last time we experienced the North Node in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius was from October 2001 to April 2003. Another way to pick up themes on your personal eclipse journey is to think back to this time frame and the lessons and events that took place in your life.
I was off trying to see what is about to close for us personally... a quick search here led me to the nursery closing/sale/son taking over & the George Floyd protests in June of 2020. And the 01-03 timeframe is about when B was promoted to MPS (driew title...Management Planning Specialist) at Ford. Interestingly enough, he has just recently reconnected with 2 guys he usta work with there. :faint: They both work for Dana now. :rofl: But in other cities.
In other newses...there was a shooting at a bassetbawl game in Humboldt (where B works) on Tuesday night. 1 was killed :candle: & 2 were hospitalized (1 critical) & "several" more had minor injuries. :sigh:
In the US, it's everywhere, every day now. :vibes: :earthheart: :sebiv:
Never a dull moment. (Zanna nod. :rose: )

Wow did not :egg: pect any of that :nono:
Um iffen there's a secondary artery that's 40% clogged why didn't they tell him last time, probe it or even does the :balloon: angioplasty :dunno:
Also where is the location of both as in what arteries and or where on the :heart: I thunked it {blocked one} was on the right side which I'm purty sure feeds the pulmonary artery :dunno:
The no oxygen needed ... not really un :egg: pected :sigh: ... keep in mind supplemental oxygen in general is not a common thang :nono: there are just many times when blood oxygen levels drop like when fighting a cold or flu and at such timez O2 can speed up recovery and make otherwise tired bodies not so tired :flex: I definitely think eberyone should has an oxygen source handy BUT the prices now are stoopid high :faint: and I would not trust the quality control :nonono:
I gotted the first one for dad days before the pandemic started for $120 delivered. The one I gotted for me was $150 and was a speeshul case from a known company needing startup capital for production. Now the cheapest ones are $250 and the reasonable quality devices are atleast $350 :faint:
I would put the thang on your Want list :yes: but if you are worried about not hasing O2 in an emergency just pickup a 40lb oxygen cylinder from yer local welding supplier :yes:
Now I don't want to dissuade you/him from using statins or any of the drugs if the doc really wants him to take it though I do think it's important he start it sometime he has a day or two to recover if the problems come back. From your descriptions it sounded like hardcore side effects from his drug regimen, most likely the atorvastatin :whistle:
So instead of going into one of my typical diatribes of why this or that is bad EBIL etc. ... I'm going to suggest you take a look at "Wellness Centers " in particular those supporting "Functional Medicine " :yes: Here's an :egg: ample and no they are not near you :nono: BUT this is the kind of place I would pick :yes: ...

That said it's possibly an easy option that you both may be more comfortable with :oz:
Ideally you should do your own research and decide for yourselves, I am unaware of any studies regarding statins and arterial blockages ... so maybe that's when they are useful :idunno:
I recommend looking for thangs in The BMJ (https://journals.bmj.com/home) {The British Medical Journal} :angel:
As for ways to speed up the repipping process :roll: yeah he's just a :heart: doctor ... the body runs at it's own pace and prioritizes upgrades based on needs and resources.

He has begun a light regimen. Tho work is interfering now. :sigh: He gotted home at 4AM. Left at noon. Dat's 16 hours.
And gotta get up and leave at noon again...plus Saturday AND Sunday. He said last night that he will not do this much longer. :nonono: It's inhumane.
And I found a cool nutrient tracker thingy... where I can more easily guestimate protein (Yeah, I noes...bioavailability :p ) & other nutrients. https://cronometer.com/#diary If you arrow back to yesterday you might see my entires. :dunno:
As for the other...I am with you. 100%. But he said on the way home that he greatly appreciates what you, I (and a couple others) have to input but he is going to put his trust in his doctor. :sigh: Fascinating how peoples do that. I watched Violet first... then Jen...then Dad... go all in 100% with whatever the doctor said. It was quite surprising with the first 2. Dad was like B & had little exposure to doctors/hospitals/etc & little knowledge (other than what I said) of any options.
I gotta let eeerbody follow their own path. :wiggle:
The doctor cited a study where peoples didn't know what they gotted & therefore were not biased ( :roll: ) & how definitive it was that the statins lowered the cholesterol. He said "nobody ever reports on the good stuff. Only the bad gets repeated".
And he went on at some length. So B bought what he was selling. :yes: I pointed out afterward that in ALL drug studies people don't know what they are getting, but it didn't seem to matter. That's when B said he appreciates us, but is gonna trust his doctor.
Fear makes people behave in odd ways.
And honestly, I cannot say what I would do if it were me. :dunno: I noes I took the methamizole (or whatever it was called) becuz I was so sick I did not care. BUT I began plottting my 'escape' as soon as I felt even a wee bit better. :chuckle:
As for the other artery... :dunno: He spoke quickly & was masked & I do not recall which it was but he literally said it was no big deal & was quite nonchalant about it. BUT he did not want to see it get worse...nor did he want to see the blockage spread biggerer. Hence the statin necessity. Followed by the diatribe on statin effectiveness.
He did esplain that B's ldl is not so bad, that normal is below 100, his was something like 117, BUT for someone in his situation it needs to be below 70 to prevent a heart attack. And that is what he said was impossible to do with diet. Becuz of the hereditary factor. :dunno:
He took the meds Wednesday night, & last night... & with his work schedule we shall see how he does. :faint:
The doc did not believe he had taken it long enough for any side effects to show. He said it would take at least a week.
I disagree, but I is not a cardiologist so therefore my opine is less valid. :chuckle:
I will keep a close eye, & up my nutrition game, & give him time. He's faced his mortality head-on & is still processing it all.
But I found this guy:: https://www.wellfitmedicine.com/
In Jackson. :wiggle:
Meanwhile, as always, I believe that happy is the first step to healthy. :yes:
I also figger he needs a good quality multivitamin. According to the nutrition tracker thingy yesterday he needed an additional 1800 calories :faint: as well as nutrients just to maintain his weight. His protein count was high tho :wiggle: 156 grams.
But he needed more antioxidants which is hard to do in on-the-run doofs. :sigh: I'll send him off with a fortified smoothie today.
:yes:
My mom is on her way home from the Smokies, Chloe is mostly moved to Paris, & boy oh boy it's been a week. :crazyeyes:

Omicron. Latest fashion ware guarenteed to catch on globally. :sigh: Guess this one is a might concerning with over 30 mutations found on the protein spike. We got 4 cases here all ready. Sure there is more to follow.
Got news that Sirius, who went to live with Kaden, passed away yesterday. He was such a good and gentle dog. He was 15 yrs old, and had been suffering over this past year with a brain tumor. I shall miss him, but he's finally released from his suffering.

USA energies are straight up violent it seems. I'm stayin' in my corner. :eek:

Didn't wanna burden you with more ffutses but did you goes back & see he had a LHC Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
1 artery is 100% blocked, another is 30-40%. BUT...he has grown collateral circulation that is functioning. :cheer:
It's been a ride. :wheee:
Sorry to hear about Sirius. :hugs: :candle:
The worst thing about pets is that we outlive them most of the time. :sigh:
And glad you gots Finn. :wub:

Yes, violent is a good word. You can see it in peoples...feel it on the highways. :uhoh:
Lotsa peoples just ready to unleash on somebody somewhere...or even anybody anywhere. :crazy:
General consensus is that we've got another year & a half of this. :sigh: <----deep breath sigh
:b: is super super close to quitting this job. :yes: Along with ALL the other supervisors. :yes:
He is going to 'try' and hang on til first of the year cuz I tolded him it was crazy to toss away 2 weeks paid vacay at Christmas. :laugh:
They are being beat up over poor production that is primarily due to outdated & inefficient machinery.
He read me a scathing email asking why they did not produce last night when they had already reported that one critical machine was down ALL night long. Another was down hours. And this happens every single day.
But upper management expects them to :magic: ally make axles. :gaah:
He says it will be another 15 hour night tonight cuz the graveyard supervisor DID quit so he's covering half of that shift after his own 10 hour shift.
The eclipsification outghta make things more interesting. :chuckle:

Dang, Asiel :faint:
That man is a puzzle, I must admit. :huh:
So, no angioplasty planned? Did I read that right?
Just finished a phone call with Lynn. Gosh we get along so well it's uncanny. :rainbow:

I'm so sorry to hear about Sirius :tissue: :candle:
Saying goodbye is always too hard :bawling:

Yeah Omidog may suck BUT it's still early and it might yet be the first doog news on the covid end of thangs :om:
Srsly iffen it's more transmissible AND less severe then :yesss:
Also :b: is right to choose his own path :yes: I hate it when people listen to me without fact :check: ing first :gaah: Personally I has nuthin against statins iffen they werk and provide a net overall life quality :bump: :nono: The fact that 25% of the US adult population are on the :carp: essentially for life based on numbers arbitrarily chosen by doctors who are statisticians and not psientystz after being lobbyed by the largest drug manufacureresi n the whurled might give me some pause :whistle:
In the end you has to believe in the one{s} taking care of you :yes: Iffen a statin can really reduce his LDL by 30% to 50% then that's fine as long as there are no side effects or atleast nuthin like low oxygen levels :uhoh: Oh and as long as insurance covers it 'cuz they are not cheap :nonono:
My only issue with statins is I don't think they does anythin beneficial :nono: Even if you throw out the ones that were recalled for killing people { :secret: Baycol aka Cerivastatin :horror: } the rise in statin takers from zero to millions hasn't changed the :heart: and stroke numbers even after decades :whistle:
Yeah ok fine I does has issues with statins ... not with the taking of them as long as there are no side effects :nono: ... I'm just purty sure the whole cholesterol numbers thang is :carp: :yes:
The real question is that 30% to 40% blockage :hmm2:
LHC Large Hadron Collider :oz:
I really REALLY want to noes the composition :yes: iffen it's that hardened atherosclerotic type of plaque I think it needs to be removed :yes: iffen it's the softer gummier type of plaque then yes remove and sure NOW statins would make sense :yes:
I'm fairly certain the blocked artery is that calcified plaque I mentioned ... as you might guess it's the hardest and most dangerous BUT also takes decades to form or atleast to reach a deadly state. Also because it's a quasi-amophous crystal like :blob: it's more resistant to solvation and removal by HDL compared to other plaque types. In other wurdz IF the not-blocked-yet artery is of the same type reducing cholesterol wont reverse the problem only slow it down AND it should have been roto- :balloon: - rootered when he was in cath lab :gaah:
Anywho :b: doesn't fall into a typical class of trial patients category :nono: he is a was-smoker with genetic predisposition to :heart: problems who now eats healthy {though :yucky: tasting} doof and :egg: sercises regularly. OR in other wurdz most studies and trials will not apply :nono:
FYI: iffen ALL of his arteries showed signs of plaque deposits even relatively low percentages THEN yeah perchance statins AND hopefully those plaques are soft then THAT prescription would make sense to me :yes:
As for that Wellness place um yeah right idea but that webpage has ZERO useful information so I wouldn't trust it until I vetted the doctors and :check: ed out the labs and facilities.
Heya Pan :wave:

Quote from: sciencedirect...
Atherosclerotic plaques are highly variable tissues which can be mainly classified into four different types: calcified tissue, necrotic or soft tissue, fibrous tissue, and mixed tissue (Garcia-Garcia et al., 2010). Plaques may consist of compact calcium crystals (calcified tissue), extracellular lipids (necrotic or soft tissue), collagen fibers (fibrous tissue), or loosely collagen fibers with lipid accumulations (mixed tissue).

:woohoo:
Friday and just about time to jiggity jig jig :bliss:
I just thunked I'd mention that while I don't believe the triglyceride and cholesterol numbers are significant indicators of stroke or :heart: issues I do think there are reasons when people may want to lower them and for the most part I'd recommend fibrates over statins AND aforez fibrates I'd say slow release {aka no flush} Niacin :yes:
"And I found a cool nutrient tracker thingy... where I can more easily guestimate protein (Yeah, I noes...bioavailability :p ) & other nutrients. https://cronometer.com/#diary If you arrow back to yesterday you might see my entires. :dunno: "
:woe: yeah webpages so Do NOT werk that way :roll: as for the tracker ... I'm sure it's fine :yes: I would however recommend not tracking calories and go more by change in weight :yes:
Nutrient use changes when you no longer has a standard sleep time and you will need more of some thangs and less of others.
Also IFFEN you are specifically targeting calcified blockages per se you would want to :bump: his blood Magnesium levels and pretty much the only way to does that is to use magnesium supplements without calcium or Zinc and take it roughly 2 hours after and afores eating.
As for antioxidants ... those just happen to be my thang 8) Also they Do NOT does what articles say or most people think :wall: :gaah:
They is still doog and important though :yes: I recommend POM from Costco an Craisins and my current favourite Black Currants :yes: I always lubed Ribena 'cept they changed it :gaah: in order to avoid the European "sugar Tax" so now I use black currant juice powder AND powdered black currants :liplick:
FYI: Turmeric and cayenne count as antioxidants :oz:
Gotta :run:

Wow that IS a lot of Pandora shout outs! :faint:
I gotted this: (First time I ever saw the word bug)
Dec 2, 2021 20:2:46 => 2 bug 2 at 2 pie
:dunno:
Yeah, I ordered the black currant ffuts...and the beet ffuts, amember? :pie:
I added the black currant to his smoothie today.
And no, I don't count calories. I just thought it funny that it said he needed so many more.
I am all but certain it is the calcified kind of plaque cuz the doctor described it as "cement" .
And he said a wire would not go through it.
He repeated on Wednesday that he felt it best to leave it alone. He said, "We could potentially create a worse problem for you & I don't wanna do that.". Nuff said. :eek:
And the statin (I hears you loud & clear with my 500somethin tryglicerides :rofl:) is to help with the partially blocked artery as well as ward off any more. Or any spreading of the blockage that is there.
Mom's numbers came down dramatically with lipitor. She's been on it a few years. :sigh: WIth no known side effects but now I wonder about her chronic back pain. :dunno:
And anyway....my doof is delicious! :buttkick: Most of the time. :rofl: Once in awhile :egg: speriments do go bad, :ashamed:
He eats healthier than 99% of the peoples I knows...and 100% of the local sweet tea, fried food & barbeque crowd. :hysterical:

It is lower, & with hips. That's our fambily 'thang' & I am prone to stiffness & soreness there as well. :yes:
After working outside all day my lower back feels borked. A few minutes of stretching, flat on the floor, & I am fine again.
When I practice yoga regularly I am fine. But Mom would rather somebody else fix it. :rofl: Her MRI was negative so now it's up to her. :wiggle: She said she was fine on her trip which points back to inactivity causing the problem.
So get this... about 3:30 yesterday I gets a call from Mom.
Their bus broke down! :frantic:
Miraculously, they were at a 4-way stop, right in front of a motel, about 30 minutes from home. :sparkle:
Thank dog they were not on interstate 40. :scared:
So J & I scurried out the door & went to rescue Mom & ZA. :rofl:
What a way to end a trip. :woe:
But they had a good time. And that;s what matters most.
So.... I :dunno: This cardiologist (remembers, they are in the top 5 in the US) does a LOT of heart caths, a LOT of stents (most peoples in the recovery room were 'regulars') and a LOT of angioplasties. I figure he knew what he was doing. :wiggle:
He told B he did not want to make things worse for him & that he did NOT want him to become a regular in the cath lab.
Unless he had issues, he will take the statin for 6 months til he sees him again & has more bloodwork.
IF he has any worsening symptoms he will order non-invasive imaging (his words) to check it out.
B was so very different from all the other patients & Dr Gibson acknowledged that as well.
He is very much fitter, healthier overall, younger in appearance anyway, and far more active.
Most patients had walkers or canes. Or shuffled their feet.
And Dr Gibson said, "I can't promise you won't wind up with a stent or need angioplasty or even a bypass someday, but let's try & push that back 10 or more years.".

"It is lower, & with hips. That's our fambily 'thang' & I am prone to stiffness & soreness there as well. :yes: "
Actually that's one of the curses of the "pear shape" :chuckle: Fer realz though ... I'm guessing the wimminz of yer clan tend towards that frooty body shape.
The thang is there are 4 general skeletal structures for wiminz Apple, Pear, :banana: and hour glass 8 ... where you deposit fat places more stress on certain areas based on pHyzixz. That's why YOUR back pain from working outside is nigh certainly NOT the same as durt mommas :nono: even if they is similarly located :oz:
Anywho durt momma's inactivity pain prolly indicates a weak back vs yer pain which is more likely back strain related and yoga loosened :om: Oh and iffen yer leaning over a lot you should use a walking stick to support yer upper body :yes:
Bus borkage :woe: BUT hasing a doog time is the important part PLUS they prolly had nuf chatting it up with you and :j: :thumbs:
As for :heart: doc yeah iffen he's the best then stick with him :yes: and honor :b: s choices :yes: THEN fact :check: EBERYTHANG and unerstanz the reason for each drug AND the side effects and long term pHyzical costs.
When :b: came back from cath lab with his prescription it was fine :thumbs: cautious but as :egg: pected :yes: That only changed because you SUDDENLY reported fatigue, gray palour and low blood oxygen :eek: :scared:
He hadn't had that afores AND there was no reason to :egg: pect it as a new symptom so one way or another it was likely a reaction to the medication. Since it resolved shortly after stopping the meds it seemed reasonable to blame the meds :yes:
It is possible that it was an initial reaction that would have resolved in a few days but :idunno: iffen he has no problems now the real question is what caused the incident :hmm2: Initial reaction, cathartic stress release finally noesing what's up :woo: doof from Denny's or covid lung infection that quickly gotted :buttkick: ed :dunno: but from yer memos I thunked meds :oz:
Oh when ya aren't too busy take a look at ... Biochemistry, LDL Cholesterol (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK519561/) ... it's relatively short and not too overly difficult to unerstanz :nono: you wont git all of it BUT I thinxz you'll git the gist of how ffuts werkz :yes: This is NOT about treating :b: it's about unerstanzing what LDL does, why you need it AND a :wheee: bit about genetic too muches.
A couple of wurdz to unerstanz ... hepatic anythin refers to the Liver, iDL is intermediate Density Lipoproteins and phospholipids are thangs that have a hydrophilic "head" containing a phosphate group and two hydrophobic "tails".
Also keep in mind Lipids are Fats which are NOT water soluble, Lipoproteins are lipids wrapped in proteins to make them water transportable but NOT soluble. The vascular system is the pipping for transporting all types of cargo ... sumtimes cargo ships git stuck.

Biochemistry, LDL Cholesterol (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK519561/) ... it's relatively short and not too overly difficult to unerstanz :nono: you wont git all of it BUT I thinxz you'll git the gist of how ffuts werkz :yes: This is NOT about treating :b: it's about unerstanzing what LDL does, why you need it AND a :wheee: bit about genetic too muches.
A couple of wurdz to unerstanz ... hepatic anythin refers to the Liver, iDL is intermediate Density Lipoproteins and phospholipids are thangs that have a hydrophilic "head" containing a phosphate group and two hydrophobic "tails".
Also keep in mind Lipids are Fats which are NOT water soluble, Lipoproteins are lipids wrapped in proteins to make them water transportable but NOT soluble. The vascular system is the pipping for transporting all types of cargo ... sumtimes cargo ships git stuck.

No pears :chuckle: much more :banana: Mom has become more pearish with age... & sitting :laugh: ...but still notsomuch. :nonono: My maternal grandmother & ZA were/are definitely pears. They both short, too.
But Mom & I are (were, in her case :laugh: ) 5'7" with long torso & lean by nature but carrying a few extra pounds at present. :yes:
Tight hamstrings forever tho. :yes: And the dude in the chair exercise video says if you has back problems you need to stretch your hamstrings. :dunno:
Leaning over (forward folds) is how I rest my back. :yes: That, or downward dog...in the gardens. :rofl: Seriously, I'm strange...planks even rest my back when I'm working. :laugh:
I'm now wondering if the prior symptoms were more related to shallow breathing from fear. :dunno:
He was quite shaken to find out he was that blocked & then also a bit unnerved becuz he thunk he'd have a stent or somethin that would 'fix' him. So for a few days he was feeling like a walking time bomb. :boom: He was also sedentary becuz he felt like if he moved too much his :heart: would attack. :chuckle:
And then...the doctor relieved all his fears & now he's on his 3rd consecutive 15 hour day & feeling just fine, although sleepy tired. :woe:
I will do my cholesterol homework in the morning. :p
Thanks, teach. :righton:

Um yeah ... one more time ... just in case you messed up the memo ... IFFEN you gain weight does it go to 1) your hips 'n :butt: 2) waist :hula: 3} :boobs: or 4) eberywhere in perfect :balance: :om:
Leaning forwad is fine it's the crane lift that puts strain on the lower back ... it's literally how muskles werk :whistle: anywho the only real way to create lower back pain without muskle strain involves connective tissue problems and thangs like spinal compression :horror: When people have :egg: sercise or lack of :egg: sercise back pain it tends to be muskle, connective tissue or spine {and the occasional kidney or intestinal issue. What relieves the pain depends on the location, the material and what caused it.
Yer mom has/had a knee issue, and is presumably overweight which for those who put weight on their hips/thighs/ :butt: tends to be low at the base of the back by the hips and caused by a larger than normal torque.
Apple and hourglass wiminz tend to have back pains higher up just below the shoulder blades.
There's a whole host of different options for wiminz ho wear high heelz too frequently AND then there are people who have unbalanced arches and that produces a whole range of issues from neck pain and migraines to worn out hip joints.
It's actually quite fascinating there are actually a huge number of first whurled conditions caused by repetitive strain injuries ... like carpel tunnel from mouse use, tennis elbo, kind of a twisted neck thang from carrying a purse o backpack on one strap, numb fingers and shoulder pain from brief cases ... it's a loong list :yes:
Anywho I was just making a poorly edjumicated guess on you and yer mom :oz:

Well Mom sits too much & sits all crooked in her recliner. She never puts her feet up :gaah: but oftentimes has a leg bent underneath & then she hunches over her iPad.
J & I got her a lap desk but she won't use it. ZA nags her about feets up & she won't does it.
She's getting quite stoopy, too. She stands at around 5'4"...maximum, When he starting height was about 5'6 1/2"
I was always the tallest at 5'7" & then Mom a half inch behind me, sissy a half inch behind her.
The extra weight is in the gut. It's called menopause redistribution. :sigh: It hit all of us at menopause.
I'm laughing at my sister now. :rofl: She says she's gonna embrace the happy chubby girl thing. :hysterical:
Seriously...sis & I have not slowed down one bit but we've added an extra 20 pounds of 'cushion'. :laugh:
Mom...definitely slowed down due to Dad being sick & then injuries & age. Her 20 pounds turned into 40.
Is there any hope of me reclaiming my before menopause body? :sigh:
Everything I read says, eat more fruits & vegetables, cut out fried foods & sweets, cut back on carbs, don't drink....
Well :duh:
It also says to "get moving" . :gaah: I works from morning til night...always wondering if ever there will come a day when I feel "caught up". :rofl:
I'm about to start juicing again. It works, albeit temporarily. So I just gotta figger out how to make it permanent. :scratch:

Git durt momma a thigh and calf massager for xmas :santa:
I would recommend a sports version 'cuz they tend to be a little more durable AND squeeze harder :yes: I personally would also goes with a heated version :thumbs:
Here's the thang hopsikles use Intermittent Pneumatic Compression {IPC} devices to helps prevent blood clots as well as avoid pressure sores and the idea being these intermittent compression device are worn around your lower legs and this helps prevent blood clots etc. by keeping your blood circulating.
The better devices include thigh parts and I think heat for them would be doog :yes:
Oh and iffen it isn't clear the reason to keep your legs up is to prevent grabitational pooling, ankle swelling, and of course COPD etc. Using an IPC solves that problem by keeping the blood flowing so you don't need to put yer legs up :nono: Oh and this will also improve healing and make her legs thinner :yes:
"Is there any hope of me reclaiming my before menopause body? :sigh: "

Wow....that video. :faint:
And his chair is super cool. :rofl:
But what am I gonna ask? :scratch:
I noes the answer, but not the question. :chuckle:
Pandora, the doc said it was virtually impossible for anything to dislodge or cause further problems (blood clots, etc) as long as they left well enough alone. He said God had done a pretty amazing job at sealing that off & creating a new path. :faint:
The doctor is truly writing off that artery as 'done'. :check:
It's the 30-40% blocked one he wants to see reduced.
And obliviously the others to remain clear.
I agree completely with sig, too. :faint:
Boy oh boy energies are super high here right now tho I believe it is weather related. :wtf:
:twister: warnings just a bit south of here earlier & a wicked front line moving thorugh later.
I feels it in my whole body. :wtf:
Thigh & calf massager? :yes: :nonono: :dunno:
She gave back the hot/cold back brace. :chuckle:
Refuses compression socks.
Thinks yoga is "boring". :rofl:
Said the light therapy did "nothing" nor did the chiropractic treatments.
But she does like her TENS unit. :huh: That's it. :yes:
I'll study on it.
She's a stubborn one...like her Dad. Guaranteed to live to be 100+ :rofl:

Spoo. Meant to say that :siguie: is correct that I do NOT want my former body back again. :no:
I really feel better than I have in like maybe forever. :rofl:
So I melted the belly fat as soon as I closed this out last night. :happydance:
I didn't take the time to do measurements but I will before the next session. :yes:
Energies... :gaah: I feel a serious detox kinda thing going on... maybe it's the fat melting. :rofl: It's a certain type of hot flash that's less than before...sneezing...thirsty telling me to drink more water... and no I'm not sick. :p

"And his chair is super cool. :rofl: "
That's a gaming chair :yes:
They are very contortable and comfy I got one for dad as a computer chair ... it spins :wheee: and after a little tweaking is just right to computer in or fallz asleep in :zzz:
"But what am I gonna ask? :scratch:
I noes the answer, but not the question. :chuckle: "
NO ... yer light wont melt fat :buttkick: ... atleast not efficiently/noticeably :therethere:
There's a lot of :blah: :blah: controversy about how red light therapy aids weight loss and there are many paths and theories that help asplain it but what it really all boils down to is weight loss is just a side effect. The more cellular activity you :bump: the more energy those cells need and consume. If you are not eating more and your weight is otherwise stable when you begin light therapy then yes you will lose weight.
There are also benefits like improved vascular flow that speed weight loss but yeah this is not a fat melting therapy :nono: and yer light is a :wheee: bit under powered for this immense task :therethere:
Oh and putting the light on the um "problem areas" will just improve the skin texture NOT deflate the :balloon: so to speak :whistle:
:michafire: has xmas cookies :santa: :happydance: mmmmm cookies (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/melt.gif)
Delicious fat melting cookies :wubsigh:
Lebkuchen {soft gingerbread} are delicious but Pfeffernüsse {spice cookies} are one of my favourite :drool: :liplick:
I'm :egg: pecting Omicron to be similar to Delta but generally a little less severe and still mostly prevented by the current vaccines {just a few percent less} :thumbs:
This is my completely unedjumecated guess 'cuz there's still not enough data :nono:
However, of the 30-ish mutations most are seen in other variants ... and it looks like the key spike proteins that were targeted by the vaccine ares still there. SO the question is more about whether the changes sufficiently change the "shape" of the crown to git past antibodies ... and molecular modelling happens to be one of my speeshulties and I sez prolly not :dunno: Akshully I sez most of the more significant mutations aren't even in the vaccine targets so not completely sure why the panic :frantic: :dunno:
Also of those detected with the omicron variant ... there really are none with "severe" covid and those who were vaccinated have the lowest severity so a doog sign for vaccine efficacy :thumbs:
Though to be fair it's also gonna depend on which vaccine you received and Pfizer appears to be the most common ... so :dunno:

No cookies yet in my corner. So I'm gonna close my eyes and imagine the delicious aroma of fresh-baked cookies in your snug, cozy kitchen. :bliss:
No :asiel: you will not get your premenopausal body back. I say this with 14 years of experience in trying to. :gaah:
:sig: listen, it :scared: me out when you make sense too, so the feelings mutual. :sofa:
Tonight our power went :electrocute: :boom: for 3 hours. First time in since forever. It was very dark. I didn't have the right :candle: so I made due with a LOT of tea :candle: A lot of ambience, but I still couldn't see much. :bsl:
The panic is subsiding over omicron. Likely cuz of what you said, Sig. OMG all those mutations! Oh wait.... :rofl:
The wind has been roaring here, and it actually made it into the 50's today. Although the rest of the week is gonna be more normal with temps in the high 30's to high 20's at night.
So fer now, I'm retiring with Finn and watching some HBO til I doze off.

Tho really my focus is on fitness & health. :flex: When I had the varicose vein procedure & he told me he could remove the spider veins around my ankle but the insurance wouldn't cover it, I said, "I am waaay past the age of vanity. Thanks, but no thanks.". :rofl:
I bet if I started smoking again I'd drop 20 pounds in no time. :whistle: And it's NOT due to eating less, as peoples assume. Something bout it changes your body chemistry. :p
But no worries...I cannot afford cigarettes any more. :rofl:
Plus I like not being addicted. :wiggle:
Check out this article: https://www.quora.com/ K, nevermind, it's not there. :sigh:
I don't think it's possible to link a quora post. I can copy it but I doubt it will copy all the graphs & charts which are quite fascinating.

OK doog try I thinxz this is the link ya want Quora Coronavirus (https://coronavirus.quora.com/).
The Quora format is a bit confusing BUT the main topic Coronavirus is like a small forum with the 30 "contributors" being members and branching threads being embedded in the main one.

Anywho Mitchell Tsai is the one to watch he's a retired virus researcher from Harvard and has some doog data 'n grapHs :thumbs:
I definitely don't agree with all of his opinions though :nono: BUT according to his info it looks like Omicron is 2.19 times faster spreading than Delta :horror:
Ok here's a tweeter video that I thinxz sums up what should oughta has been done and how thangs should be done now ... tweetvid (https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1238504143104421888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1467037062104711171%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoronavirus.quora.com%2F) ... the video auto starts but on Mute :oz:
Anywho :thanks: :asiel: :thumbs:
I particularly likes the info from other countries :yes:
Now while I respect their credentials I'm gonna see iffen I can roll a Yahtzee ... so I'm doubling down on Omicron being more infectious and I think closer to 5 x Delta BUT far less virulent :thumbs: :egg: perts base their predictions on the available data so I'm betting on the data that's NOT there :yes: Srsly this thang popped up out of nowherez in a land plagued by HIV. This HUGE spike overwhelmed the Delta surge BUT no one noticed a :bump: in hopsikilization OR death.
It's way too wearly to say fer sure BUT I'm betting on :siguie: right agin :irule:

Way too early. That was the point of the original article I tried to share. :rofl:
It said, "We know nothing about Omicron and we know everything about Omicron".. :crazyeyes:
I don't even remember when or how I signed up for that but somehow I been getting emails since the start with everything Michael Tsai shares. Some of the other quora ffutses is interesting. They seem to be smater posters than the average tweeters.
Though I really haven't spent enough time there to make that judgement. :laugh:
So J & I went to Jackson yesterday to get my hairs cut. :wiggle: And then we :elfparty: -ed.
Found a Christmas gift for Mom & some rainbow scouring pads for Zen Aunt's bday on Friday. :rainbow: :chuckle:
Peoples were animated...happy...friendly...and we had numerous pleasant encounters. :vibes:
Peoples were mostly masked, but definitely distanced due to not being crowded.
We ate Mexican in a really tall booth with no other peoples within 20'.
It was the first time just she & I have been out in ages (before pandemic) & on the way home she says, "That was really wonderful night, Mom". :chuckle: :wubsigh:

Too early to noes thangs for sure BUT we do noes what didn't happen AND we noes quite a lot about Delta. For Omicron to be beating out Delta means it has to be more virulent and in order to show greater than linear spread means it needs to be greater than 2xDelta. Basically this is "Competition Kinetics " agin one of my speeshulties 8)
Anywho with the population being the constant you has two competing reactions Delta and Omicron. Normally you'd start with equal numbers of each to make the math easy BUT with a sea of Delta and a small island of Omicron to start you can still make doog approximations :angel:
Keeping in mind that South Africa has a prevalence of HIV estimated at 20% of the general population and HIV infection being one of the most defining comorbidities IFFEN Omicron was "more" or equally as virulent as Delta the death toll would have risen dramatically, which it didn't ... not even a little :nono: So I'm saying less virulent :yes:
How muches less virulent is the real question :hmm2: and based on one of the missing symptoms which is cough :cs: I'm guessing much muches less virulent :yes:
Also out of a report of 204 patients with Omicron in a South African hopsickle 76% were identified by screening and came in for other health reasons, which leaves only 24% who came in due to Omicron. In other wurdz the majoity had no or too mild symptoms to seek help. Of those who came in due to Omicron symptoms only 2 were vaccinated and they had the most mild symptoms of all ... so vaccines most likely still effective :yes: Oh and yeah they was the J&J vaccine 8)
So yeah too early for certaintizing BUT I'm betting on Faster Spreading LESS Virulent and Vaccines doog enough :matt:
Glad you and J ack i had a doog time :thumbs:
Them are the times that make amemories :magic:

So :b: had a really bad hypertensive/angina/tachycardia episode at work last night. :sigh:
He called at 7:11. Broke down when I said :hello: & could barely tell me what was up.
Stroke level BP, according to his boss's wife. :huh: Coincidentally :sparkle: , or not, his immediate boss's wife is a cardiac nurse.
It was over 200/110. :eek:
And yeah, I amembered the lasix & Mom was ready to deliver but when he got home it was down to 150/90 & I gotted him water, hibiscus tea & a hot shower. Then doof & he began normalizing.
Funny thing is all week he's been talking the other management peoples down off the ledge. They are ALL ready to walk.
The hours are inhumane. There is no plant manager support, only beatdowns. Night before last he took his immediate boss to the dispensiary (they has no nurse just token medical equipment & a room) becuz his BP had spiked & when his boss's boss came in to check on them they found HIS BP to be skeery high. :scared: B had both of them deep breathing & talked to them about not letting the boj affect their lives.
It's been another 80+ hour week & they are scheduled Saturday & Sunday AGAIN.
We really must be in China, Tanassi. :(
So the plant manager is being bullied by corporate to increase production & the only thing he knows to does it to crack the whip & extend the working hours. :buttkick: The real issue is :carp: y equipment that produces damaged parts which then has to be reworked. But he won't stop production long enough to repair equipment. :crazyeyes: And then trucks sit at the dock waiting for hours upon hours to receive the load they came to get & that's where the pressure comes from.
And meanwhile...energies get higher & higher & the cosmic pressure cooker builds more pressure... :boom:

You'd think a place like Dana would has an O2 tank or oxygen concentrator :whistle:
Breathing is always doog but when people are hasing anxiety attacks with :heart: racing and pressures :bump: ing it's hard to beat O2 :yes:
K so perchance time to revisit Toyota :whistle:
I was gonna say 200/110 is actually in the :egg: sercise range still BUT prolonged is bad AND iffen there was chest pain the nurse should have called an ambulance :dunno:
Quote from: Psychology Today...
These techniques work because of the way your breath reflects and amplifies your emotions. Incorrect breathing can cause anxiety, stress and even depression. It works like this: Momentary stress causes the body to tense and you begin to breathe a little more shallowly. A shallow breath lowers oxygen levels in the blood, which the brain senses as stress.
Breathing then becomes a little faster and shallower. Oxygen levels fall a little more. The heart begins to race. The brain feels a little more stressed... It's a vicious circle.

The nurse recommended the ER. (she was merely onthe phone) Believe it or not it's much much quicker to drive someone to an ER here than to call an ambulance. :sigh: When the little hopsickles closed the ambulances consolidated so like here, at our house, the nearest ambulance is AT the nearest hospital, 15-20 miles away. Same thing as at work. :sigh:
But he refused & his boss caved.
I talkeded to him the whole way home. :yes: :om:
He's back at work tonight. The cardiologist office just said for him to carry his BP med with him & take another if it happens again. :gaah:
He's seriously considering the door factry just down the road from here. His first 'real' boj when we moved here & then they laid him off. :sigh: It's been bought out by a German company... Allegion. And they are hiring. As is literally everywhere.
But he's gonna try & hold out til first of the year at least.

:ladybug: :shera:
Yeah, he's plotting his escape. :laugh:
Thing is...he has really connected with the management team (all except the plant manager who is the one who really needs to go :sigh: ) & hates to leave them shorter-handed...but they are all looking for other jobs as well. :crazyeyes:
IF he gets the 2 weeks off at Christmas as they are supposed to have then he will likely stay til then & take the vacay pay. :yes:
He also had 2 vacay days to use between now & then. But if the plant manager forces work over the holiday then he will :run:
He's looking at starting anew first of the year.
Tho I just heard about Venus retrograde & how it's wise to not make major purchases, or business/financial moves during that time. It's from December 19 to January 29, 2022. :dunno:
But they are scheduled 10 hours through the weekend (that'll be a minimum of 19 consecutive days :gaah: tho B had 1 off to go to cardiologist in Nashville :roll: ) . 10 hours scheduled means 12-13 for him plus 2 more driving. :sigh:
So really...any day could be his last cuz he has said he definitely will not put himself in the danger zone & he promises to leave immediately if his BP were to spike again. :righton:
What a strange happenstance this whole Dana thing has been. :yes:
Did I mention that besides the plant manager (3 years :roll: ) the most tenured salaried employee has been there 10 months???
That right there says somethin. :yes: And the poor 10 month guy is at the end of his rope...he relocated his family from Michigan for this job & he is sick about it. :sigh:

But boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. Mayfield KY (45m due north of here) is flattened. :faint: Totally, completely, looks like a :boom:
The KY governor says at least 50 people in KY died...maybe many more. A lot of deaths in a candle factory in Mayfield. :candle:
And an Amazon warehouse in Illinois saw multiple deaths. At least 2 died in a nursing home in Arkansas, and may more scattered throughout the region.
According to the KY governor there was a long tracking :twister: for 227 miles. A record breaker.
And according to TWC the intensity in Mayfield in particular was likely off the chart. :sigh: Another record broken.
As far as I can tell there is no damage anywhere here on the farm. But I did just notice that I was invaded by :ladybug: s again. :wtf: Axshullly, they say they are NOT truly :ladybug: which is doog cuz lst time this happened I couldn't vacuum them cuz I read that if you killed a :ladybug: you would die the next day! :no: :spitcoffee:

I have a dead tree the village was supposed to take down this summer right in front of the house. Said tree died because of the hack job they done on it last year. That thing comes down with this :blowme: and I'm losing the windows on the 2nd floor. I will not be happy. They will know I am not happy. :pissed:

:pey: The county I live in borders KY.
I am focusing on the dead tree :blowme: coming down & not harming anything anywhere. :sparkle: :angel: :sparkle:
I remembers when they killt the :treehug: :hugs: f***ers. Said like Zanna. :righton:
Mayfield KY is trashed. :faint: We go through there on the way to Paducah.
Mom always tells me to go to the Ruler there...instead of the Martin store I frequent.
That's becuz TN has a 10% tax on all doof. KY only taxes tobacco, soda & alcohol like OH. And dine-in meals. To go is tax free.
That's why the seniors in OH usta order their doof to go & then take it to a table to eat. :hysterical:
We never stopped them. :nonono:

I usta drive to Murray KY Kroger to save 10%. And as for gas...you gots to drive to get to anywhere here. :laugh:
But that was before Ruler came. Ruler is Kroger doof at crazy cheaper prices. For reals...the parmesan wedge I buy regularly is $7 at Kroger...$3.99 at Ruler. 8oz brick or bag cheese is $1.79 compared to $2.99. The 3 lb frozed fruit is $9.99 at Kroger...$6.99 at Ruler.
It's crazy cheaper. :yes: But they don't carry 'everything'. ANd ya gotta bag your own but J & I has that down to psience. :righton:
Today is :sparkle: 12/12 :sparkle:
It seems that Dresden (where my Asian friend's non-Asian store is :p ) was hit really hard & they gots a list on Meta :chuckle: of ffuts they needs. So J & I may see what we can does today to help out. :yes: Yesterday 2 Paris food trucks gave away doof to peoples in Dresden.
So the bad thang about ruralness is that there is a lack of immediate services such as hopsickles & ambulance and few shopping or arts choices.
BUT...when hard times strike, such as fires or tornadoes or sickness or whatever...peoples jump into service to take care of one another. :shera:
It is quite amazing. :sparkle: When Waverly was flooded lst year they put out a call for donations, but in 2 days they put out a STOP order cuz they were so overwhelmed with the mass quantity of ffuts coming in.

Oh. So. Bad.
Dresden, that is. :sparkle:
We saw enough but did not want to get in the way. Streets were closed but many drove around & all the lookie-loos did not help the situation.
Went to the donation center & donated cash but then J & I are going at 11 tomorrow to help sort donateds & hang clothes.
Still got Zanna on my heart. :shera: Maybe I can help here in a way that I just could not have helped her. :luvcry:

What we could see (streets were barricaded) Tommy's store looked ok.
His windows were boarded & I dunno if he did it before the storm...or afterwards to ward off looters.
Either one sounds like him. :chuckle: He's very smart (6 or 7 degrees :faint: ) but also quite mistrusting.
Yeah....it's unbelievable & quite overwhelming. The scope of the devastation is crazy.
Our version of wildfires, I guess. :sigh: Thing is...with a :twister: it's more difficult to know where & when.
A hurrycane moves slowly...usually. A wildfire moves visibly. Nightime :twister: are stealth until they get so close you can hear them.
OMG, my cousin Debbie who has learning disabilities & works in the laundry at a nursing home was missed by less than half a mile. :faint: She works in a basement :chuckle: but when we saw how the house just down the road was flattened it was... :faint:

... also ... someones is :missing: ... or should I sez Late ...
:tapfoot:
Ok so omicron is moobing in quick ... roughly 40% of the covid cases in the UK are omicronies AND the first fatality by omicron is confirmed :no:
Since it usually takes 2 weeks for severe covid to take hold and 3 to 4 weeks afores deaths typically occur the jury is still out on the virulence BUT yeah purty sure less virulent and way WAY more fast spreading than Delta which is kinda skeery :uhoh: I mean Delta was on par with mumps which is so easily spread that the herd immunity number is 95%+ basically with omicron yer vaccinated or yer sick and iffen yer not sick yer gonna be ... soon ... :sofa:
The more or less direct from South Africa hospitals and health ministry data shows a :bump: in hopsickilizations and a big drop in deaths ... in fact it's possible that Omicron has peaked and the number of hopsikilizations is simply from sooo many becoming infected so quickly. Technically SA is 2 weeks to 6 weeks ahead of us so very likely by the end of January this thang will be finished :unthumbs: OR some new variant will come up with a twist who noes :dunno:
It also appears that the antibodies are not particularly effective against Omicron BUT the T-cell memory is enough to reduce severity to minor or not noticeable so while Pfizer is pushing for boosters it's likely the best course is just hasing had the vaccine or recovered from a previous infection.
The last real hurdle for omicron is to see how it effects groups of elderly unvaccinated with comorbidities :sofa:

Aha! Thanks, :michafire:
That's why I fell asleep in my chair at 6 & slept through the whole first quarter of the Cavs game. :ashamed:
We are going back to the donation/distribution center today. :yes:
Over 60 houses in Dresden alone are totally gone. Many many more severely damaged.
We have set up a free store. :wub: Rural King donated pallets of god doof & 100's of cases of water.
Walmart, DG & others donated tons of diapers, baby doof, people doof, toiletries, etc, etc, etc,
And peoples brought in bags & bags & bags & bags of clothes...that all has to be sorted & hung except we ran out of hanging space. :faint:
And toys....the toy department overfloweth. :wubsigh:
And of course, doof. Canned doofs, dried doofs, ramen soups, coffee, tea, soda...
But the corner of the warehouse that tears me up is full of beautifully wrapped Christmas gifts! Labelled as to who they suit. :santa:
All set up in 2 days by volunteers.
Speaking of...2 young girls (30ish) came from Knoxville just to help out. 322 miles (I checked). They was gonna sleep in their car & I offered monies but another volunteer took them home with her. :wub: Another volunteer moved here 10 months ago from Hawaii. One volunteer was a UT Martin student who had no classes & time to kill so she came alone.
I'm so glad we jumped in. :yes:
And J ack i made a friend. :wig: :gle:
A very chatty 12 year old named McKaleigh who took her under her wing & made her assistant in charge of baby items & toys. :angel: :wub:
They got it going on. :clap: A local church is organizing & deploying physical volunteers. Mostly men with chainsaws, but other cleaner uppers. A trucking company is offering to deliver semi trailers to anyone who wants one to use as storage...etc.
And an old abandoned Fed Ex warehouse has become an oasis of goods & Love.
Crazy too, but peoples delivered doof to the volunteers. So. Much. Doof. Dominoes, Little Caesers, Zaxby's, Walmart subs, Christmas cookies & lots of other 'treats'. So besides eating all we wanted we offered that doof to the handful of peoples who came in for goods. :yes: Twas just a trickle yesterday, but it will become more. And peoples came for specific items...like underwears. :yes: And coats. :yes:
We still need toilets & electricity in the building. :laugh: Hopefully today. They gotted a generator last night & I believe a porta potty is being delivered today. There is no electricity just becuz it is an empty building. It is out of the damage zone.
Thanks you, Zanna, for edumacating me as to what is really important. :hugs: :angel:
Every person who comes in is you. :wub: And I feel you peering over my shoulder constantly.
You're right. This IS how a community oughta handle a crisis. :yes: I am sorry your community was so inept. :sigh:
So there was one girl. She was strong in body & character. Has 5 big dogs. And she was having a hard time receiving.
She was also a veteran & a national guardsman, serving as a first responder. We met becuz the bag of god doof burst when she picked it up & I helped her clean it up. She said, "I'm supposed to be helping people, not receiving help"
I says, " I know. But now it's time to receive back all that you have given over the years.".
I asked if her house was gone & she said, "No...that's why I feel guilty. Most of the roof is gone & I've been told
i need about $80,000 in repairs but I still have most of my stuff.".
I said, "You are deserving. Take all you need right now & then come back & get more. This is why it's here.".
And then another lady with a truck was delivering the ffuts to her so I sent a $100 bill with that lady with a message for her to use it on take-out or whatever she needed. :righton:
Eeerbody got a story. :wub: Another 60-70 year old man walked around as if in shock. All he needed was a coat for his Mama. :wub: They too, were in a home without heat or water & still had most of their belongings, but his Mama needed to layer up. :luvcry: I found him a thigh length down coat that still had the tags on it. :yes:
When I left I told another volunteer... "Ok...I'm gonna just go home & cry for awhile now." :laugh:
She :rofl: and said, "Yeah, it's overwhelming, isn't it?"

So :sig:
How long afores Omicron really takes hold in the US?
Of course, I understands how the usual flow goes...here in ruraland we typically have a bit more time.
Also I heard the UK is doubling cases every 2 days. :scared:
And also that there are many double-vaxed peoples in the hopsickles. Mostly comorbidities.
But that the booster seemed to really make a difference.
I read somewheres...Michael Tsai I think...that the 'vaccines will save us' rationale was flawed from the start. He said that the coronavirus is related to the common cold and cannot be vaccinated away like a flu. That said, he IS pro vax, but wants the messaging to be clearer that it is just 1 part of a mitigation strategy & not an end-all be-all. The 'once you get vaxxinated you can take off your mask' message really hurt us.
:crazyeyes:
:gheart:
Oh yeah... I see a :fullmoon: rising... :choir:
Not yet, but she sure is activating the feels. :chuckle:
That, AND the upcoming Solstice. :sparkle:

Dang despite yer peoplez being durty :deliverance: types they does has some redeeming points :wubsigh:
Though vaccinating is not one of them :nono:
Anywho tannassi already has omicron :therethere: and even iffen yall were wearing face masks and practicing social distancing AND were all vaccinated it would still be spreading :sofa:
This one is a Tidal :wave: and purty much only serious lockdown protocols are gonna does anythin to slow it BUT doog news :yes:
:siguie: right agin :yesss: :headbang:
Anywho here's a surprisingly doog video from the 11th 3 daze ago he hits all the major points but most importantly is he's in direct contact with numerous people and organizations in South Africa so is getting first hand data which is looking really doog :thumbs:
Good fortune with omicron (https://youtu.be/m2vI4XczqZ8)
Oh and definitely :bump: yer vit.D and K2 'cuz that's a thang to help against covid in general. Oh and K2 is the ffuts I recommended for vegeterrestrialz ... wow isn't that a coinkiding :oz:

21 minute video? :gaah:
I :wish: the entire internet was not becoming video oriented.
It's far less disruptive to other family members & oh so much quicker to just read & write. :pie:
The NBA is providing inneresting data. 97% of their players are vaccinated & right now there is one team (Chicago :violet: ) that does not have enough players to play a game becuz most all are positive for covid. Brooklyn, as well has 8 players out (there are only 15 on a team, plus 2 they can call up from 'reserves'). In Brooklyn ALL players & staff are vaccinated cuz it's the local law...same with San Fran. But still they are making them return 2 negative tests before practicing or playing.
So we're all spreading it no matter what. :crazyeyes:
D & K2. :check: Makes me think of a mountain. :rofl:
And yeah...the organization is local. It's called Be the Village. :yes: And it was started 2 years ago in the founder's living room.
They had a 'storefront' filled with donateds for peoples in need, but it was leveled in the :tornado: So they gotted a new old place on the fly & everything has been put together since Saturday. Amazing. :sparkle:

Srsly I ripped the audio out of this one and played it on my way to werk yesterday :oz:

Anywho iffen I could read or write this is what I would does to save time :yes: Iffen only le :sigh:
Oh and you can feed the text back into google or a linux text to speech synthesizer and change the tonal qualities so it sounds female or some type of preferred accent :yes:
As for bawsetball :dunno:
But as for D3+K2 I likes this ffuts ... MAX Absorption, Vitamin D3 + K2 (MK-7) Liquid Drops with MCT Oil, Peppermint Flavor, Helps Support Strong Bones and Healthy Heart
Ingredients: Vitamin D (as Vitamin D3), Vitamin K (as MK-7), MCT Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Peppermint Oil
I likes all them ingredients AND the recommended dose is 1 drop providing 1400 IU {RDA 350%} and 25mcg of K2.
There is no RDA for K2 :nono: and for vit.D 1 IU = 0.025 mcg so 1400 IU = 35mcg
In other wurdz 1 drop = 35mcg vit.D + 25mcg K2
In case people are not aware too much vitamin D doesn't help bones it actually hurts them by increasing the blood calcium levelz K2 on the other hand prevents this effect allowing mega doses of vit.D :thumbs:
FYI: there's an interplay of D and K2 and on another note I'm purty sure that lack of K2 is a player in osteoperosis as well as calcified plaque formation but it's complicated and involves various hormones 'n ffuts. For covid just :bump: vit.D with k2 :thumbs:

Dr. John CampbellAuto-Generated Transcript from Good fortune with omicron
and welcome to today's talk saturday the
11th of december a lot going on with
omicron at the moment so i want to stay
with that now if you're in south africa
you're being so exposed to omicron as we
speak
if you're in the united kingdom you're
going to be exposed to romacron in the
next few weeks if you're in the united
states you're going to be exposed to
romicon in the next few weeks or
certainly
month or so the whole world we believe
now is going to be exposed to this now
thankfully so far
it's only making a small minority of
people illc
but if lots of people get it all at the
same time because it's so massively
transmissible a small proportion of a
lot of people could still be a lot of
people ending up needing to go to
hospital all at the same time and this
is what we are worried about with
omicron this is why we're watching south
africa so carefully so on to south
africa the r value is 2.5 so each
infected person on average infecting 2.5
other people this is giving us an
exponential rate of growth
in the uk at the moment the number of
people with the omicron variant is
doubling every 2.5 days according to
most estimates this is an incredible
acceleration which means soon everyone's
going to be exposed to omicron
vaccinated unvaccinated everyone
this is just a a raging infection now
but thankfully so far as we'll see not
making people
very ill just a very small proportion
and we're hoping that's going to stay
that way
national institute for communicable
disease that's that's their figure
equals 2.5 in south africa really quite
incredible
uh the percentage of positive tests
nationally so the positivity now
remember the positivity is a good
indication of the community prevalence
at any one time
so the positivity uh nationally it's 25
24.9
and again that's for the week ending the
4th of december so that's already out of
date but it's the latest we've got
16.4 higher than last week
so of all the tests being done a quarter
of them are coming back positive
this means there is a lot of omicron in
the population in south africa at the
moment and as we say everyone is being
exposed as we speak
now it does vary quite a bit depending
on the states how tang 35 limpopo 32
other areas slightly less
other areas even less free state western
cape kazoo natal
10 to 15 eastern cape and northern cape
lower but of course it is spreading in
these areas but the fact that the
community
positivity prevalence is 10 percent is
already pretty high and it's not going
to take
long for that 10 percent to become 25
because we've seen this high uh i
high our value
so we know it's more transmissible we
know there's a fair degree of immune
escape whether you've had the infection
or whether you've had the vaccine you
can still get it and we believe that
you're going to get a lot less sick if
you've been vaccinated and if you've had
it
but you're still probably going to what
you're going to be exposed and
many people are going to be symptomatic
thankfully mostly minimally symptomatic
but let's look at some proper
figures here so here we have dr richard
uh friedland chief executive of netcare
now this is one of the big private
insurers in south africa private
healthcare insurers omicron variant
covered 19 symptoms and now far milder
than the first wave according to dr
friedland which is good
having personally seen many of our
patients across howtang hospitals so
this is speaking from first-hand
experience here
their symptoms are far milder than
anything we've experienced during the
first three waves
so we've ended up with this massively
transmissible variant
that everyone's going to be exposed to
unfortunately
it's governing is it seems to be
producing mild disease now it didn't
have to be like that it's probably more
probable that it would be like that but
this could have been like the the the
mers the middle east respiratory
syndrome which caused 40
mortality
i i could have been sitting here saying
well i'm afraid there's a 40 chance that
we're all going to die in the next
few months
thankfully i'm not
but
it's not because humans have been
particularly clever it's not because the
vaccines have been so successful that
it's eradicated the affection it's not
because the lockdowns have worked it's
not because we've been so clever we are
just fortunate that this massive
massively communicable variant
that is going to bring about huge
amounts of herd immunity
is doing so at the cost of absolutely
minimal disease humanity has been indeed
fortunate indeed fortunate because this
variant could have been associated with
extremely increased pathogenicity as as
we said mers is
and uh this could have been a disaster
for humankind but thankfully it's not
thankfully it's probably going to be the
end of the pandemic
but it's not because we've been clever
it's because we have been incredibly
fortunate
it's almost as if there's corrective
systems
looking afterwards i don't know how much
philosophy or emotion to put into this
but
this could have been bad this really
could have been bad and thankfully it
looks like it's not but anyway enough of
that let's stick to the figures in
science
approximately 90 of covered 19 patients
currently in hospitals require no form
of oxygen according to dr friedland
so 90
don't require oxygen
um
and are
considered incidental cases so about
nine percent of cases they just happen
to have found that they're positive
they're not admitted for those reasons
this is indeed
fortunate
um if this trend continues so and of
course we do have this proviso it could
be that this makes people sick with a
much longer delay we don't know that yet
it's unlikely
but it is it's not totally impossible
that this variant could make people
iller after a month or two rather than a
week or two i don't see why it should be
but it's not impossible so
until the time's passed of course we
can't give
can't give get any guarantees so so dr
friedland correctly says if this trend
continues it would appear that with few
exceptions
of those requiring tertiary care that's
hospital care
the fourth wave can be adequately
treated with at a primary care level in
other words people can be managed at
home
because they're much less sick i mean
wow isn't this
fortunate
in this first wave in the first three
waves netcare across 49 accurate
hospitals in south africa treated 126
000 coveted patients
of whom 46 required hospitalization
sorry 44 required hospitalization
26 percent required high that should be
high care
high care or intensive care
significantly all covered patients
admitted were sick and required some
form of oxygen therapy
so all of the patients that admitted in
the previous wave required oxygen
therapy
in the current wave
approximately 90 percent
of patients in our hospitals require no
form of oxygen therapy
i mean what a relief do me
me
the high admission rate as well as the
high percentage of patients requiring
icu or high care is er care is
indicative of the severity of cases
during the first three waves
so the first three waves were bad
44 required
admitted to hospital
26 required intensive care
virtually 100 required oxygen whereas
now 90
now 10 require oxygen
now
again again this is just in this group
this is in this this net care group so
this is not talking about the whole
country this is the patients he's
personally responsible for
337 coveted covered 19 positive patients
admitted
whereas in the other previous waves it
amounted to 126 000.
seven to 72 percent of these patients
are in howtang area eighteen percent
inquires in a towel so still
fairly regional it will be spreading out
to all of south africa well it is now as
we speak so most hospitalizations in
this area
of the 337 hospitalized approximately 10
percent have on some form of oxygenation
not a hundred percent
about 10 percent have on some sort of
oxygenation
dear me that's such a difference
100 in the first three waves
wow
aren't we fortunate
eight out of the 337 2 are being
ventilated
and of these two are primary trauma
cations so they're they were patients
who'd been had accidents and other
traumas
came in and just found to be positive so
we could change that to six
who actually require it for medical or
covered related reasons
incredibly low number
during the first three ways when the
overall community positivity rate
breached 26 across south africa so
similar positivity rates
uh first wave they didn't have 337
admissions in this particular hospital
group they had two thousand
second wave two in our thousand third
wave at three thousand what a difference
fourth wave omicron wave so far
337
hospitalized if the patient has admitted
to neck hospitals and facilities since
the 15th of november
75 not vaccinated
seven deaths
due to covered 19 complications so it's
not gone away altogether it's just
massively massively less
uh age distribution of patients covered
19 patients admitted since the sin since
the 15th of november on average younger
than those seen during the first three
waves 71 percent being 50 years of age
or less
average age of pages admitted to this
particular hospital group 38.5 years
no question is younger people but also
no question that vaccination rates are
lower in this younger age group in
south africa doesn't tell us cause and
effect but those two facts are facts
patient presentation mild to moderate
flu-like symptoms as we know
now this is different to what we have
been seeing and this seems to develop
later perhaps because it's not what we
have been saying but blocked or runny
nose
headache
strategy or sore throat uh he the dr
friedland here doesn't mention the um
the body aches which we have been
talking about so
body eggs we know we know our future but
it's not mentioned here
so blocked over on your nose headache
scratchy throat
only 10 of people admitted on oxygen
so only 337 as opposed to several
thousand admitted and only 10 percent of
those on oxygen
i'm just fee i can actually feel
palpable relief here this could have
been
this could have been bad but it's so far
it's looking is looking okay
it's now considered view that at this
early stage that this trend should
continue so dr friedland in the heart of
it there he does admit it's an early
stage
but he thinks this trend should continue
direct quotes
covered 19 may be effectively managed at
a primary care level i.e by gps district
nurses at home
with the exception of certain cases
requiring admission to a tertiary
facility so the minorities still still
seem people are going to be required and
this as i said this is my concern
that many millions of people in the uk
for example get it all at the same time
and um that could result in a hospital
pressure
for a short period of time until the
herd immunity develops so that that's
that's possible
but we do know that vaccines are
providing about a 70 people that are
fully vaccinated we're probably looking
at about a 70 protection much less than
it was much less than it was but still a
good degree of protection we believe
from the severe hospitalizations and
deaths as the south africa data is
showing where we did find out that 75 75
percent of patients who were actually
admitted to hospital were not
vaccinated
uh
dr fareed abdullah um office of aids in
tb research south africa medical
research council
he says nationally it's 80 of emissions
that are below the age of 50. so even
higher nationally
i know sorry that's throughout the
gutang province in the last
in the last
two weeks so that's that's private and
state hospitals in the last two weeks
the best indicator of disease severity
is measured by the in-hospital death
rate
uh there were 10 deaths in the past two
weeks from a cohort of 166 patients that
he
personally followed up
that's uh 6.6 of people died but of
course that was in the ones that were
actually admitted which were the vast
minority
vast majority of people being treated at
home
now the death rate amongst people that
have been emissions and admitted in the
previous waves were 23
so for all previous waves
of all the patients have admitted 23
didn't go home
so far it's 6.6 of a much lower number
of admissions
four deaths so far tragically in the
younger age groups aged 26 to 36
we don't know if these were vaccinated
we believe they weren't
five deaths over the age of 60. so
younger age group certainly more at risk
probably because they're unvaccinated
and another sigh of relief although
children have been infected there were
no covered 19 related deaths among 34
admissions in the pediatric ward over
the last two weeks so in the gaotang
area
34 children admitted
uh of course the vast majority of
children that were infected were not
admitted but of the 34 that were
admitted
there have been no uh no deaths
so
just breathe a sigh of relief on that
it could it didn't have to be like this
we we have been so
so incredibly fortunate that this is not
a bad pathogenic variant
because nothing we've done stopping it
spread around the world it was in
england already before we introduced the
flight bans
now last last thing for consideration
today this is interesting
just to get a bit of backup opinion uh
omicron variant could act as a natural
vaccine interesting idea this is
professor eleanor
reilly
immunology and infectious diseases
edinburgh university
in a few popular press outlets it was
actually on a radio for interview i
believe
um omicron variant could act as a
natural vaccine in the unvaccinated
direct quote from the professor
britons are very likely to contact the
variant in the next couple of weeks
very likely
direct quote
in the next couple of weeks direct quote
if you're in the states as we said it
could be a month or two but we are all
going to be exposed to this
variant
i believe virtually all of us
unless you want to go and live in a cave
in the desert or on a desert island
somewhere or on a small uninhabited
island in the outer hebrides
you're going to be exposed to this
variant from what we know so far
everyone's very likely to experience it
in the next few weeks we're hoping that
most will be asymptomatic
if it's milder
and we know infection induces an immune
response so if it's milder
and so if it's milder as a question mark
but we do know that indu induces an
immune response so does omicron induce
an immune response yes
omicron
invokes an immune response
and that's going to give ongoing
immunity for a period of time
this could be a natural vaccine
we know the infection induces an immune
response fantastic
it is possible that this could act as a
natural vaccine she says
getting to those people who have so far
been unwilling to be vaccinated
interesting
profound really um
but i think we have to exercise a huge
degree of caution with that because
she's a scientist so she has to hedge
your bets on that of course
because there's a huge if about if it's
milder
but i believe i've given evidence that
shows in south africa it most definitely
is milder
and they've had a fair bit of time now
for people to start getting sick
hospitalizations are increasing
but the death rates and the severe
illness rates and the oxygen demand
are all very low yesterday we looked at
oxygen demand south africa got the
population wrong yesterday sorry about
that it's about 60 million 65 million
people in south africa
and from memory there was about 700 800
on oxygen who were hospitalized with a
positive diagnosis
many of those who were had a positive
to diagnosis for
other
reasons the oxygen demand is really
quite minimal thankfully
um
and i think it's very dangerous to
compare data from south africa to the uk
okay professor fine of course we agree
it's just the best guide we've got
in the south african population there's
been so many waves of infection they've
gone through true but there again we
know that the antibody positivity rate
in the uk is about 95 percent
so it's not as if we're inexperienced or
unexposed in the uk
so maybe that's not as dramatic a
a difference between the two populations
as that statement might intimate
lots of immunity in a much younger
population well lots of immunity in
south africa yes but there again a lot
of immunity in the uk
95 people having some form of antibodies
whether it's through natural exposure or
vaccination so we're not in an exposed
population nor is the states
certainly a much younger demographic in
south africa that is absolutely true we
accept that
advisers professor advises to uh people
to act on the basis that anyone they
come into contact with could have
coronavirus omicron
over the next few weeks
so there we are
um we're going to be exposed
personally i'm trying to optimize my
immune system with good nutrition and
adequate amounts of vitamin d and
vitamin k2
hopefully another video can work upon
that shortly from the experience in
israel
so that's us for today
we're just going to carry on with a
slightly academic debate though michael
pointed out yesterday that
um the virus doesn't care if it makes
people really sick because by the time
that people die from the virus
um
the uh the virus will
they'll no longer be infectious and the
virus doesn't care whether they die or
not
but we have counter argument again to
the counter argument
this is from uh good you can look him up
on the uh or her up indeed i don't know
uh the first name is good um it's in the
comments milder disease will be a
positive selection pressure for viral
proliferation
interesting
so so what good he's saying is having
milder symptoms allow the infect the
infected people to be out and about
and pass the virus on to more people
beyond the household
as opposed to knocking out the host
immediately and the virus never getting
a chance to get past the immediate
contact so it's a good point so with
this milder disease
then people will still be out knocking
around with their usual life in the
infective period therefore they will be
infecting many more people therefore
that will be a positive selection
pressure
for the uh
for the uh
for the virus and in this case for the
omicron variant
so
um
interesting that uh this is following
darwinian evolution which sounds very
simple in principle but in actual fact
when you get into it is quite
complicated and more nuanced
but no question that the virus has
evolved into the shape of the omicron
and of course he
evolved just means change the virus has
changed from a delta
to an omicron in actual fact the omicron
probably doesn't come from a delta it's
probably in someone infected with
another variant other than delta that
became the genetic material became mixed
up with a common cold coronavirus that
resulted in the omnicron mutation
but either way it looks like omicron
might be our way out of this pandemic
from what we know so far
not human beings being clever
but
these natural
creative processes
um
helping out humanity and it didn't have
to be this way we are fortunate
thank you for watching
Anywho iffen I could read or write this is what I would does to save time :yes: Iffen only le :sigh:

About time ya showed :tapfoot:
Heya :wave: :hug:
Yeah yeah it's also not a hunert percent what he said BUT the main points is Omicron is eberywhere and vaccinated or not eberyone is gonna be :egg: posed BUT it's basically an xmas miracle ... very mild but also freakishly fast spreading :uhoh:
There will be a small number of people who need to be hopsickilized still so the next thang is to hope that number stays low :yes:
:asiel: Any newses on :b: 's apple watch? :dunno: depending on the model it may has an ecg function which is way WAY better than pulse rate ... well for :b: anyways :yes:

I liked also that he said "thankfully" a LOT. Thankfulness is a doog quality in a person. :righton:
And YES....last night I felt like I had been in the sun ALL day long. On a boat even. :huh:

It came home Monday night. I don't see anything on the packaging about what version it is but it had a Walmart price tag of $169 on it. Added: Found it. Series 3 whatever that means.
He is apposta be off Thursday & Friday & hopefully Saturday & Sunday. So we will get it set up then. :wiggle:
He had 2 'use em or lose em' vacay days left. The other dude took Monday & Tuesday, so he took Thursday & Friday.
We gots :santa: ing to does. :uhoh:
Freaking Christmas is just over a week away. :scared:
Really not :scared: We have Mom's bought & we don't do much of anything else except for :santa: of course.
Speaking of...she asked :santa: for an air fryer!!! :spitcoffee:
She has wanted me to get on since they came about. I have resisted so she bypassed me. :hysterical:
I have determined that the toaster can go :bye: & I can has one that is toaster oven/air fryer/dehydrator.
She's a smate one. :rofl:

:woe: More videos.
Our internets is wonky today. Most likely :sun: interference but who really knows? :rofl:
Last time I was at Target in Jackson a dude kept trying to sell me whatever the ATT cellular service is now with a free new phone & 5G. He absolutely would not listen when I tolded him that 5G was for cityfolk. :rofl: He was very persistent.
I was like, "Dude...country...rural...no broadband, no DSL even & the only reliable service in the hollers is Verizon.".
Finally he got frustrated & walked away. :rofl:
Thanks for the tips. :righton: Now we are at the mercy of what's on shelves cuz it's too late to order anything.
Thing is, I would use the toaster oven feature most. For reheating cuz I hate microwaves & too often turn on the oven for little ffutses. :ashamed:
Man, I had a convection oven AND a convection microwave in Louisville & never once used either feature cuz I had no clue what for. :ashamed:
So we're all about to get covered 19, huh?
It's just that some of us will never know it, some of us will have mild cases, & some of us will die?

Oh we went to lunch today with my new friend from Hawaii & her daughter who is blind. :yes:
After lunch (which was very nice btw...she is absolutely miserable in this sea of conservatism & I totally understood everything she said. :yes: ) J ack i went to the bathroom & came back absolutely shaking. :wtf: Like chills except she was not cold nor feverish.
And she is totally fine now.
Last time I noticed her like this there was a very large :quake: the following day. :sigh:
I also feel 'off'. Slightly wired, very wobbly & earlier I had serious brain fog. :crazyeyes:
I had unusual shoulder/yoke soreness earlier too but it is gone now.

There were more damaging storms & over half a million powerlos yesterday. Central US & Upper Midwest.
And seriously flooding rains in Callyfornya. :umbrella: I saw pics from LA & was shocked at what 2" can does to them. :faint:
2" is just a drop in the bucket here. :oz:
Numerous :twister: :twister: in the north...places that had NEVER had them in December before.
And a record 55 reports of hurricane-force winds. :gheart:
Many more peoples with serious home/work damages. :yes:
Wondering about Pandora's & Zanna's families in Colorado... :hearts:
I woke up in Floriduh. :no:
It feels & smells like an overcast winter/early spring day in Floriduh. Serious :blowme:
It is balmy & breezy. 64 degrees right now & not going much below 60 all night. Back up to 70's tomorrow & then the potential for more severe weather here tomorrow night. This time they calling for mostly flooding rain. :umbrella:
Welcome to the new world.
I know the craziness affects everyone everywhere at one time or another.

I talked to Dad last night, and he said the :blowme: was :uhoh: and Pueblo lost power. Except not my brother because he has a generator.
Yesterday I almost got hit by a train. I was coming up to some tracks that are on one of our side streets and barely used. No flashing lights, the bars weren't down, and so I just kept goin'. Got onto the tracks and glanced to the right to see a train coming towards me. My life flashed before my eyes, and I thought of my brother, cuz he's a conductor and all. I gunned the rest of the way off the tracks, and about 5 car lengths later the lights started flashing and the train was on the road. :huh: Hence reporting the experience to the number on the box of the flashing lights thingie as per instructions from said brother. He freaked out at first and then just started laughing at me. Some brother. :drama:
Today it's 63 degrees and cloudy. It smashed the all-time high of 49 from 2003. They're saying tomorrow might go into the 50s. :faint:
Strange days indeed. :crazyeyes:
So, we are at the top of the list here in NY for reported new cases, and it does look like there is definitely a surge in the works. I neber did take my mask off or break my routine. This ain't over.

:eek: Dang glad you is OK :hug:
Yeah it sounds like the first set of sensors failed and only the last minute manual backup switches kicked it :therethere:
Back in college I wanted to be an engineer but then I found out it had nuthin to does with trains :sigh: :rimshot:
Yup :blowme: alert and lotsa :windy: yesterday :yes: and yeah I has power :electrocute: 8)
Not over yet but quite possibly ... soon ... as in 3 to 4 weeks :uhoh: The latest newses from South Africa is that Omicron "may" not be les virulent :eek: atleast not to the previously uninfected and not vaccinated. There's a high prevalence of preinfected in SA as well as numerous ~25% of vaccinated though with different vaccines. All of these may mean that while antibodies are low T-Cell memory is high and "may" be why the severity of Omicron appears so low.
In other wurdz, vaccinated and previously infected are safe from severe illness BUT UnVaccinated may be at the same risk as Delta. Otherwise Omicron will likely peak in 4 to 5 weeks {~30 days}. :share:

Omigosh Pandora :hugs: Stop. Look. Listen. Remember? :pie:
I grew up in a town with 2 major railways running through. There were no gates or lights in the country & my :heart: would sink whenever I saw someone just fly over the tracks. :faint: Every. Single. Year. there would be a teenager killed on a crossing somewhere. :sigh: One of my friends' brother was one of the casualties. 17 years old. :candle: Now they has gates & lights.
Dad always wanted ME to be an engineer but I thought it had something to do with trains :yucky: :rofl:
I was 'Music or bust' tho so we never got far enough into the conversation for me to findout what an engineer really was. :chuckle:
I woulda been good at it, he was right. :papa:
So...Ohio is on fire already. Averaging over 10,000 new cases a day for at least the past 4 days. :faint: Up from about 3500 new cases a day.
Is that not an Omicron surge? :scared:
Christmas is gonna do us in, innit? :uhoh:
I have a theory that it is in the wind. :blowme: Like the answer, my friend. :rimshot:
I read that 80% of deer tested in Iowa were positive. Deer social distance by nature :chuckle: And don't dine indoors or go to movies or sporting events. Typically. :rofl:
I am about to the conclusion that there is no escape (though in the very beginning I think I said, "We're all gonna get it eventually, aren't we") & the best we can do is vaccinations, D3 & K2...which equals DK5 btw. :rofl:
In other words, is a little paper mask really gonna protect us when 95% of peoples around here are unmasked? :sigh:
We are just protecting the idjits from our potential asymptomatic spread.

FYI: I have a midi keyboard so I can play directly into LMMS :angel: then fix eberythang :whistle:
"In other words, is a little paper mask really gonna protect us when 95% of peoples around here are unmasked? :sigh: "
:woe: Srsly :pullhair: stop trying to :rbrain: eberythang :buttkick:
There are reasons for eberythang and unerstanzing {aka :lbrain: thinxzing} is the key. Rapid proliferation is what made Delta so much worse than AlpHa or Beta :scratch: The same is now even more true for Omicron PLUS the vaccines are only 70% effective {94% with the booster :bump: }.
At a minimum the 😷 reduces the initial viral load which gives the body more time to wake up the T-Cells :thwack: and it's the T-cells that clear out Omicron. The antibodies are only 70% effective against omicron. That said 70% is still useful AND they run interference until the T-cellz wake up (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/zzzscratch.gif)
Ideally eberyone SHOULD be infected BUT with the smallest dose {initial viral load} possible. Just enough to git T-cellz functioning and killin :guns: Omicron afores the host notices symptoms :angel:
Vaccinated and those who have previously recovered should has a 70% chance of being symptomlos and a nigh 30% chance of only mild symptoms.
The BIG question is whether the unvaccinated will show severe symptoms that usually occurs 2 to 4 weeks after infection. So far in South Africa it looks very promising for the vaccinated and recovered peoplez :thumbs: Unvaccinated and covid virginese not quite so lucky though it's still a tad early to make a call on them.
In SA Omicron replaced/displaced Delta ... this will almost caertainly occur in the UK and US as well as the rest of the whurled BUT for right now the US has a TwinDemic with Delta still prevailing. By Xmas Omicron should be in the lead and sometime in January Omicron should does the same thang in the US as South Africa.
The big questions is severity for the previously UnTouched :uhoh: AND do newly infected need to quarantine for 2 weeks? With sooo many testing positive in such a short time iffen they all quarantine at the same time there is gonna be issues :horror:

:flyball:
DAWs are purty impressive but massive programs and LMMS is to Frooty Loops {now FL Studio} as GIMP is to pHotoshop. In other wurdz there is a lot A LOT :yes: and there are massive amouts of VSTs {Virtual Studio Technology } and instruments you can add in addition to the hundreds already there, so baby steps :yes:
BUT you will find it nuf :yes: though I'm gonna recommend playing with the examples for a while ... then video watching ... afores starting yer own scores 'n beatz from :scratch: :angel:
:yawn: :coffee:
Well the :rain: passed :bye: we gotted a lot :happydance: more than 2 inches in most places and it looks like our winter pattern is moobing in a tad early :yesss: Typically most of our rain comes in January and February but so far :woohoo: AND it's a lubly 55°F with :sun: so siguie manor fully charged, heated to minimum acceptable levelz AND all is doog :bliss:

I amemberz mentioning that Pfeffernüsse cookies are one of my favourites :liplick: then :boom: right now or atleast yesterday one of my favourite youtube chefs put out a video :happydance:
Pfeffernüsse (https://youtu.be/VE650SkYapw) video by Chef John of Doof Wishes :thumbs:
In other newses I just finished the most horrible of horrible chores in siguie manor :horror:
That's right I cleaned the oil traps in the vent fans over my stove :no: which of course means I had to clean my stove right after le :sigh:
Then of course I needed to throw out old spices and :carp: spices and suaces that I tried but wasn't thrilled about and not sure iffen I'd do anythi with so didn't throw out ... yet.
Why the cooking area cleanup and rearrangement? Doog question ... to make room ... as in just barely enough room ... 1cm to spare :yesss: ... for my new induction cooker :happydance:
So now I has my gas stove in the middle, my Air fryer on the left and my induction range on the right and the last two just close enough to vent ffuts :yesss:
The induction heater is a "portable" size to fit in that little side space but also so I can moob it over to my Bluetti EP500 battery system in timez of :electrocute: crisis :woohoo:
:irule: :headbang:

Sig, does ya have any counter space to work on? :huh: All them gadgets... :eek:
WHO, according to an article at CBS, is reporting that 89 countries have omicron, and that it is doubling every 1.5 to 3 days. It sure sounds like it's a lot more infectious than Delta. It's virulence is still unknown; there isn't enough data? Meanwhile the Big Apple is in the lead for the 2nd day in a row for repiorted new cases. What strain is dominant hasn't been specified. Likely a mix of both strains. We reported 4 cases of omicron back when it first started. In my county, local businesses are pushing back about the mask mandate. Of course. That is why we are called Pennsyltucky. :sigh:
Wind is brisk, and the temps are pretty normal for now in this time of year, ranging in the 30's. Usually, we get a week of cold snap just before Christmas and it falls into the 20's. So it seems like we're running about 10 degrees above average compared to our "normal" winter seasons in the past.
Insomnia has been :bliss: all over my nights for about the last week. Feeling unsettled, and I can't pin down why. Usually, I can.
Today it's a nice stir fry with teriyaki marinated tempeh and brown rice. Oh, and a pumpkin pie if I get motivated enough. :liplick:
WHO, according to an article at CBS, is reporting that 89 countries have omicron, and that it is doubling every 1.5 to 3 days. It sure sounds like it's a lot more infectious than Delta. It's virulence is still unknown; there isn't enough data? Meanwhile the Big Apple is in the lead for the 2nd day in a row for repiorted new cases. What strain is dominant hasn't been specified. Likely a mix of both strains. We reported 4 cases of omicron back when it first started. In my county, local businesses are pushing back about the mask mandate. Of course. That is why we are called Pennsyltucky. :sigh:

Yummy cookies. :righton: That guy speaks with an inneresting cadence, kinda trailing off at the end of each sentence. :yes:
They look pretty simple for sure.
:dunno: Not doing much sweets of any kind cuz nobody needs it. But gotta do something. J ack i wants me to make a sweet potato pie with a walnut crust. That's almost healthy. :yes: :laugh: There's also semi-traditional caramel corn & pumpkin roll...
And Mom will hafta has a coconut cake becuz...it's just ain't Christmas without coconut cake & fruit salad which is diced fresh fruit (left by :santa: ) ...apples, grapes, banana, oranges...in sugar.
But all the spices in the pffefferneuse sound delicious. :yes:
And here I thunk you was hosting a big ol dinner party....or hasing all your minions over, at the very least. :hysterical:
But boy oh boy my spice/seasoning cabinet & tea cabinet tend to :boom: all by themselves from time to time. :rofl:
Seems someone can't resist picking up more on the regular.
Omigosh...I had a real sick feeling about this covid /omicron surge last night. :sigh:
As in 'doomed', pretty much for real this time. :gheart:
I sure hope my gut is wrong, but ya know, we're already at 2000 deaths a day in the US so I shudder to think what could be in a couple months.
Thing is, hospitals are so strapped already from all the peoples who quit during the initial pandemic stages.
And...I read that the flu vaccine we all gotted most likely does NOT contain the predominant strain. :huh:
J & J & previous infection offer little protection from Omicron.
They be trying to reel ffuts back in in some places (sporting events, Broadway, schools going virtual, etc) but it's always harder to get the genie back IN the bottle.
Add it all up. The math is ugly. :wtf: From both sides of the :brain:
:lbrain::aaahhh::rbrain:
:bsl:
Oh I is hasing a :birthday: party today. :elfparty:
Take out from Golden Dragon (they have never opened their dinging room :clap: Never even opened a door :chuckle:
They boarded up a glass door opening & created a teensy window like an ice cream stand. :thumbs:
And a DQ ice cream cake. :bliss: :happydance:
:nickel: :hi: Pandora You & I are on the same frequency with the virus & the doof. And the unsettledness. :wtf:

So it's really like a wicked cold? And then some peoples 'colds' turn into pneumonia. :sigh:
Thanks :righton: for the video time warning. :p And the bullet points. :hi5:
I gotta make :bean: soup & get ready to go do Christmas shopping with Mom & ZA.
Doof shopping. :yes: We decided yesterday on roast chicken & dressing for Christmas Eve, with sweet :tater: , green beans, slaw/salad of some sort & then coconut cake & sweet :tater: :pie:
Christmas day we're frying chicken. :hysterical: Adding a few sides, plus leftovers from the day before & voila... it's done. :chuckle:
I really do not care. :nonono: And it's about making Mama happy...but B & ZA like eeerthing Mama loves so there ya has it. :eip:
J ack i fussed a bit, but she will not starve. :nonono: I wlll bake some tofu. :laugh:
It's getting complicateder virus-wise tho. THe NFL already decided that positive peoples can play if they are asymptomatic & vaccinated. The NBA postponed 5 games yesterday & many teams played short-handed so now everyone (players/coaches/mgmt) is arguing about what they oughta do. :crazyeyes:
My bil is really sick but was waiting til Tuesday to get tested cuz he read to wait til the last minute before seeing others to do so.
Chloe was leaving this morning, spending the night with her sister in Columbus but she was oh so mad that her dad wasn't getting tested til after she'd driven 600 miles.
But....without testing he & my sis were out shopping. :sigh:
And that's the thing. :yes: I'm not calling him out cuz it's the general attitude here. It's the "take lots of cold med & suck it up & go on to work, school, shopping, wherever" mentality & maybe it's the 'right' way to get this over with. Who really knows? :pie:
Butch's workplace sure doesn't encourage testing. :nonono:
Some vaguely recollected ex-president once said, "Stop the testing. The more you test the more cases you will find.". :check:
:woe:
:bsl:
So I'm a girly, stinky, ugly, metal ox? :woe:

"So it's really like a wicked cold? And then some peoples 'colds' turn into pneumonia. :sigh: "
:egg: actly :yes: 'cept not so wicked for those who are vaccinated and or recovered :nono: For them 70% chance they don't notice, and nigh 30% chance of mild symptoms lasting 1 to 3 daze. The odds of severe disease still hasn't been werked out but 90% are unvaccinated.
Basically if you are vaccinated or recovered Omicron looks like barely even a weak cold :dunno: It's gonna come down to initial viral loads and comorbidities for the vaccinated so yeah some will not fare well :sigh:
Anywho the UnVaccinated are gonna be cannon fodder for Omicron ... even if it is "mild" it hits fast and some people will not do well. So even if a very small percentage will need hopsickle care a small percentage of a HUGE number is still too big for hopsicles right now. Also after sooo many waves those doctors and nurses are tired :faint: and lots are quitting :uhoh:
As far as sports teams go ... I say cancel EBERYTHANG :yes: but that has nuthin to does with Omicron or the pandemic ... I just don't unerstanz why people "watch" a game they are not playing in :scratch:
As for what should and or should not be done now ... meh it's really too late ... what should has been done as a country wasn't ... so now people should choose for themselves :yes: Iffen people are ok spreading their disease it's their choice :yes: Iffen people don't want to git other peoplez disease they noes what to do.

I'm still masking AND using my death ray :yes: PLUS I gotted the vit.D & K2 as does Dad AND I have siguie brand Zinc gluconate :angel:

K (Ok not K-2), what abouts J & J vaccinateds?
I read that it was not effective against Omicron & that even the Moderna & Pfizer required 3 shots to be fully effective. (Boosters)
Asking for my sis & bil. :sigh: They are J & J-ers. Others I know (Chloe) who keep putting off boosting. :sigh:
And Ohio is :uhoh:
I guess Trump just encouraged his followers to get a booster at a live rally...he said he did...and they booed him. :woe:
Funny that, he egged on their anti-vax stance & encouraged their alternative treatments until someone pointed out to him that his base was gonna die. Now he's trying to reel it back in. :crazyeyes:
:vsparkle: Happy Solstice, Y'all! :vsparkle:
It's a sunshiney shimmery day here today. :sparkle:
Oh... & I thinks I'm gonna keep Jacki away from the donation center for awhile. :sigh:
She understands tho she wants to go. But it is full of unvaxed, unmasked peoples.
I read that yesterday Omicron became the dominant strain in the US already at 73%.
A week ahead of what they projected. :yes:

"I read that it was not effective against Omicron & that even the Moderna & Pfizer required 3 shots to be fully effective. (Boosters) "
:woe: J&J vaccine is fine :thumbs: even without a booster :bump: in fact J&J may well be the reason that South Africa has faired so much better than :egg: pected.
Here's the thang to amemberz ... right after a vaccine has :bean: officially recognized as "effective " the psyence is done and marketing takes over :horror:
How "effective" a vaccine is initially is judged based on antibody production, this begins to wane after a month or so and some people have weaker immune responses than others.
The thang to amemberz is that antibodies are only the First line of defense AND not the bestest neether :nono: What they do well is knock out that "initial viral load " think of it like a minefield against an invading army. IFFEN there are enough mines :boom: boj done army stopped eberyone can sit on their laurels and talk about how they beat the covid wave (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beer.gif)ya noes in that immuno first responderz kinda way :oz:
The thang is Omicron has doog mine sweepers so it avoids a lot of those mines, some are saying it is 41 times better at sidestepping them antibodies :no: But relax yer body has Killer T-Cells srrsly that's their names and they is like Vorlon planet killers they :guns: covid any flavour and :boom: any cellz touched by the shadow of the virus.
Basically antibodies aren't as important against Omicron ... yes they still slow it down ... prolly ... and they are doog to has running interference and buying time BUT they alone wont stop Omicron. Killer Mr.T on the other hand (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/rockon.gif)
T Cells Might Be Our Bodies' Best Shot Against Omicron (https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/12/t-cells-omicron-vaccine-immunity/620995/) :secret: it's ok they is just wurdz :yes:
As far as J ack i is concerned ... IFFEN she is willing to wear a mask then it's prolly fine :yes: Again the mask is just crowd control viral mitigation protocol against the initial load. The most likely way for the durt klan to become an Omicrony will prolly go via a :b: vector. Just stay as safe as you can and be prepared is the bestest advice ... ya noes along with the DK's and Zinc :oz:

Also still early daze but while you "can" git Omicron after Delta ... no evidence of Delta after or with Omicron is present :nono:
This suggests that IFFEN Omicron quickly runs amuck around the :earth: it might be the "natural vaccine" that ends the pandemic :angel:
Also I quite like the youtube videos by Dr. John Campbell :thumbs: He clearly has access to information from around the whurld directly from many countries AND best of all he uses a fountain pen :headbang: I happen to noes that he's using the Parker Vector :hysterical: git it "vector" ... talking about viral vectors :rimshot:

"... BIL has covid ..." :therethere: Most of tanassi does :therethere: Also Do NOT git tested unless ya thinxz it's the Delta :club: Iffenit's Omicron most will recover in 1 to 3 daze 5 purty much tops while Delta tends to be a minimum of 5 daze. The reason for not testing is Omicron is here and gone so quickly {for the vaccinated} that the 10 to 14 day quarantine is stoopid ... I seed talks about making it 7 daze but that's not happening yet :nono:
Yeah prolly a doog choice for :b: :yes: though iffen he coulda gotted a meeting with an upper management person ... ya noes one above the guy in charge causing problems ... thangs mighta werked out :sigh:
Make a batch of colloidal silver and has :b: gargle with a doog swig :yes: Odds are doog iffen those 4 who got sent home had Omicron then so does :b: :therethere: Ideally this is where the siguie brand vapourizer/fogger systems really shine 'cuz they can git :cs: into the bronchialz purty easy ... the lower alveoli kinda but that's a lot harder.

:woe: That's not Killer T :gaah: that's a covid virus in stealth mode evading antibodies :moon:
"... BIL has covid ..." :therethere: Most of tanassi does :therethere: Also Do NOT git tested unless ya thinxz it's the Delta :club: Iffenit's Omicron most will recover in 1 to 3 daze 5 purty much tops while Delta tends to be a minimum of 5 daze. The reason for not testing is Omicron is here and gone so quickly {for the vaccinated} that the 10 to 14 day quarantine is stoopid ... I seed talks about making it 7 daze but that's not happening yet :nono:
Yeah prolly a doog choice for :b: :yes: though iffen he coulda gotted a meeting with an upper management person ... ya noes one above the guy in charge causing problems ... thangs mighta werked out :sigh:
Make a batch of colloidal silver and has :b: gargle with a doog swig :yes: Odds are doog iffen those 4 who got sent home had Omicron then so does :b: :therethere: Ideally this is where the siguie brand vapourizer/fogger systems really shine 'cuz they can git :cs: into the bronchialz purty easy ... the lower alveoli kinda but that's a lot harder. The doog news is the Omicron hangs preferentially in the bronchial area :yesss:
Anywho you 3 are prolly immune enough not to has symptoms BUT why put anymore strain on :b: 's :heart: :oz:

Um...BIL is in Ohio. :yes:
As for upper management meetings....there are only 3 peoples above :b:
First one helped him write his resignation letter, second one he is in contact with daily, 3rd one is plant manager who he also talks with nearly daily. :woe: The biggest issue is 80+ hours a week & ain't nobody gonna change that. The poor hourly peoples just worked 19 consecutive 10-12 hour days, got 1 day off, then back to find out they are working 12 hours a day til Christmas.
It's a complicated mess involving Union sell-outs, pressure & fines from automakers, borked old equipment & fally down factry.
Seriously...here is a tip of the iceberg: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/09/17/dana-s17.html
From the article:
Sweatshops do not only exist in Mexico or India but in "union shops" right here in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee—and Dana is one of the sweatshop kings. The conditions which the unions have "negotiated" at this company recall the worst abuses of the 1800s, with workers forced to stay on the job, in many cases, for 12 hours a day for weeks at a time before getting a single day off.
Filthy, squalid conditions are the norm in Dana plants. Roofs leak when it rains, and floors are covered with puddles of oil which workers slip on. Machines produce airborne particles which workers breathe in each day—with unknown health consequences. Production does not stop on the line even in the case of serious injury. This happened in June, when a worker named Danny Walters suffered a seizure on the job at the plant in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, and died the next day. Meanwhile, COVID is spreading unabated in the plants, particularly in the eight facilities in Kentucky and Tennessee, states which are experiencing record surges.
It's bad. Systemic corruption & coercion & way way biggerer than :b: & his friends.
He was sad becuz he does not hate the job & really likes most all of the peoples he works with.
But...their hands are all tied.
Anyway...2 miles down the road gives him 2 extra hours a day. :cheer:
After he catches up on rest. :zzz:
Leaving at noon & getting home at 4:30AM is too much for a 61 year old, borky :heart: ed guy.
His psoriasis is way way way flared now, too. :sigh:
I gotted me some knee high compression socks for my :birthday: & I wondered if something like this would help :b: or not?
The worst psoriasis is on his shins.
So you think they would improve circulation or impede it? :scratch:
And no, he hasn't had time to use the light in weeks. Literally he comes in the door, unpacks his lunchbox & staggers into bed to collapse.
After he is freed from jail tomorrow I will get him on a solid light regimen. :check:
SIXDIYETH!! :woe: I could not for the life of me decipher that this morning.
:spitcoffee:

Um how do you miss "sweatshop" like conditions in an interview? :horror:
"I gotted me some knee high compression socks for my :birthday: & I wondered if something like this would help :b: or not?

Not really sure if there's a connection with restricted blood flow and psoriasis :dunno: I'd be more concerned that tight socks might irritate the inflamed area :dunno:
Unless his feetz are swelling or he has varicose veins I'm not sure what the point is :dunno: Does his legs git tired from standing all day 'cuz THEN maybe :dunno: otherwise I'd let his legs decompress and hopefully the psoriasis will go too :yes:
Oh and supposedly {I don't believe it} Omicron is just as dangerous as Delta ... atleast according to Reuters based on UK data. Not for vaccinated though so just unvaccinated at most :yes:
Ohio has mostly Omicron now too BUT same deal now is not the time for Testing :nono: Iffen yer sick stay home and don't spread it 'cuz that what sane adults do for any cold. Iffen it vanishes in 3 days then hang at home for a week, if it lasts 5 days or more wait 10 days after you git better :angel:

Thanks :michafire:
As for interview missage...they lied. Pure & simple. The plant manager & production manager.
The one supervisor who has been there 10 months...the most of anyone...is so very very mad,
He relocated from Michigan for this job. Moved his family. And now feels stuck.
Another who started 2 weeks before B is sick with himself cuz he done spent his 5K & now feels stuck.
B's immediate boss, who is leaving right after B, lives in Alabama & fortunately has not moved. His plan was to live in an apartment for a couple years...go home on the weekends. He found out there are no weekends. :sigh:
They lied about the conditions, whitewashed the factry floor for the walk thru (B has been involved with that dog & pony show which is done before any 'bigwig' comes to visit. If only the CEO of Ford Motor ever saw the truth :sigh: ), told them they were working a lot of hours but it would ease up very soon. :nonono:
Nah....he saw the truth within a week of being there. I kept encouraging him to "give it time". He kept saying, "As each layer is pulled back it gets worse & worse" but we both hoped things would change. That's what they said all the new guys were apposta do. Usher in change. Doesn't matter now.
Saddest part is that :b: is really dang good at what he does. :yes: But it wears ya down real fast when you gotta make the minions do ffuts that you feel is unjust. Plus the physical exhaustion makes everything worse. :yes:
Anyway...tonight is the final night! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
I am so very thankful. :hail: This is the first time ever I have been aftaid for his life in a work situation. :yes:
He looked so very bad at 3:30AM. The only other supervisor smashed & borked a finger so was not there.
That's another thing...last night he was the ONLY boss at the factry. 1 had quit a week ago, 1 smashed a finger, 2 were off with vacay days & that left B to does it all. :faint:
Oh so glad he's on the way out... :happydance:
Your :logic: about testing & staying home makes sense, :sig: :righton:
But it will never work in the real world. :nonono: In a factry one would lose their boj if they stayed home with a 'cold'.
One has to has doctor's permission to stay home. And nowadays one has to has proof of positive covid to be off without penalty.
It's a :dog: eat :dog: world.
Oh my sister posted a pic of me (via Chloe) from Sunday on FB. :sigh:
As of 6PM yesterday I had 61 comments. :huh:
I dint even know I knowed that many people any more. :hysterical:
It was axshully nice. I saw a couple of HS doog friends, a friend of Dad's who's in his 80's. It made me smile.
:bugsnile:
Today is Krystal's birthday. :sparkle: :hearts: :sparkle:
My :wish: is that they have all found their way forward... :rotatingheart:

Didja read the article? Dana knows. :sigh: It's ALL their factries.
Just wish we woulda knowed before he took the boj but I believe eeerthing happens the way it's meant to.
He worked for Toyota before...when we first moved here. An engine plant, called Bodine.
They worked swing shifts...rotating between days, nights & midnights every 2 weeks. :scared:
He could not do that either.
But no, it's not better & neither is TBDN cuz they are non-union & not in Japan. They run by Americans in Amerika so they are "just another factory". :wiggle:
Now Allegion (which is the door factry down the road formerly known as Republic) has changed to a large degree.
The culture is quite different. We knows becuz Marilyn, our neighbor up the drive, has worked there for 20+ years.
She's in sales now & is gone quite a bit but she can still tune into the factry floor when she wants to, which she did for B.
It it's meant to be, it will be. :sparkle: He gots 5 weeks of meds :chuckle: but we can afford to buy them if need be.
No we ain't gonna test. :nonono: Not unless somebody get real sick. Mom had a runny nose the other day, but then it went away.
I had a sinus/crown headache all night last night but it could be weather. We are quite tropical once again. :blowme:
65 today but then 70ish for the next 5 days. :happydance: Peoples here are complaining... they gots new sweaters, this ain't Christmas, & my favorite, 'it's just not right'. :hysterical:
I says take a beautiful weather day whenever you get a beautiful weather day & enjoy it. :bliss2:
I am just overwhelmingly thankful that B will not be going in to work 12 hour shifts all next week . :yes:
Everything is well. :wig: :gle:
We is to follow the path of the :heart: :heartbeat: :gheart:
In more ways than one.
Happy Holidays Everyone! :sparkle: :grouphug: :sparkle:

We cooked too much. :faint:
But Mom wanted to does it & I figger as long as she is able then we does what she wants. :yes:
The biggest problem is the amount. She just can't break the habit of cooking enough in case a dozen extra people stop by. :hysterical:
There were only 5 of us Christmas Eve. 6 Christmas Day.
And first we made roasted chicken, cornbread dressing, candied sweet potatoes, green beans & homemade cranberry jello relish.
Then yesterday... a tubfull of fried chicken, mashed taters, succotash, salad & a giant amount of traditional fruit salad (diced apple, orange, banana, mandarin, grapes, pineapple)
We had pecan pie & gingerbread the first night...coconut cake & fruit salad the second.
So we decided next year we'll just fry the tubfull of chicken on Christmas Eve, with mashed taters & the rest, then serve the leftovers the next day maybe with tater salad and a salad or coleslaw. :laugh:
It's a lotta work. :yes:
And a lotta doof! :faint:
Mom was kinda mocking some kinfolk in Atlanta who had a catered dinner & I immediately spoke up & said, "I think that's a great idea. I'd gladly get catered doof IF we had a decent caterer around." :laugh: Zen Aunt nodded in agreement. :yes:
Mom is extra slow to let go of old ways.
Now...the resting can begin. :rofl: For B for realz. We went to bed around 10 & he still sleeps at nearly 8. :clap:
OH!!! :santa: brought J ack i a Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry OVen. :clap:
Don't mock... :p Locally there were 2 (oven-style) hto choose from & a quick google search found this one superior. Basically becuz of the wattage. (Pey, power sucker :nana: ) . I noes someone said that the oven style were not as effective as air fryers but someone else noes that they will use the oven part way way more than the air fryer part. :yes: I did heed the advice about the bigger the betterer. :yes:
Plus...this one flips up & opens the counter back up. :clap:
Anyway... we made toast in it for breakfast :laugh: which was a bit overdone but it was a setting error I'm sure.
And then in the afternoon I cubed some tofu & tossed it with seasoning & :sun: :flower: oil.
There was ample space for a whole block and I'm sure a comfortable block & a half or maybe even 2 will cook at once. :cheer:
20 minutes & it was quite crispy on the outside. :cheer: Less than half the time it would have taken in the oven, plus it was browned & crisped on all 4 sides which is real hard to does in the oven without turning each cube 4 times. :nonono:
Boy oh boy it gets hot fast, too. :faint:
It's footprint is not much more than the 4 slice toaster it replaced. :cheer:
I am seriously looking forward to :egg: sperimenting more. :yes: But already I am impressed. :yes:

Just noes we ALWAYS wish the bestest for you eberyday BUT someone :secret: it's the durty one ... always :carp: s up the memos :wall:
:heart: :hug:
Oh and didja does the tree decorating thang? I noes it's a bigger deal in germanesia :share:
Ok :ninja: makes surprisingly doog ffuts :thumbs: they is almost always a knock off of sumthin more :egg: pensive but the air fryer is a solid choice :yes: ... ya noes for a convection oven :thumbs: The one you has is just like my Dad's Cuisinart AND yeah it can air fry :yes: the only real difference between what you has and a dedicated Air Fryer is cleanup.
I gave dad a couple of my quarter sheet pans and asplained how to cover it with foil and put it on the lowest shelf and air fry in the basket above it. Basically it catches all the drippings from above and even werks doesing chicken wings :yes:
FYI: A Full Sheet Pan is for industrial ovens, Half sheet pans fit regular ovens and quarter sheet pans fit larger counter top ovens :oz:
Oh and transition from Olive oil to Avocado oil and put it in a mister. Olive oil has too low of a smoke point ... most of the time it's fine but some doof will begin to smoke and taste funky :hippy:
Also don't fergetz the siguie favourite Crispy Noodles for chow mein :liplick: That and :fries: are the bestest reason for hasing an air fryer :yes:
Toast not so muches :woe:
I think but could be wrong but there is no fan control on the Ninja. I believe there is a toast setting which is fine BUT ideally you want the fan to be at the LOWEST setting for toast.

Omicron is apparently only 11% less pathogenic than Delta :scratch: atleast that's the current number :scratch: I'm assuming pathogenicity is more a factor of "severe covid" vs strictly the death rate because the death rate is surprisingly low :dunno:
In any event Omicron numbers are doubling every 1.5 to 3 days with {2.4} being the accepted number.
The average onset of severe symptoms is 8 to 9 days vs 17 for Delta.
Omicron is also targeting younger ages though that's likely due to the elderly having multiple vaccine shots.
UnVaccinated again are the most at risk with the US having some of the highest numbers despite free and freely available vaccines :woe:
N95 or better masks are needed to prevent Omicron transmission. Regular masks or ANY face covering can still reduce initial viral load but N95 or better is needed to actually block the virus during :egg: posure.
Personally I'm still happy with my Lutema m95i five and six ply face masks :yes: The 6ply includes a one way valve which makes eberythang much nicer BUT will not be allowed on planes or in hopsickles :nono: The 5 ply masks prolly will and are better than N95 in general :oz:
Otherwise STFAFP :angel:
Also yes tanassi is DOOOOOMed :therethere: if nuthin else stay safe long enough for the ICU's to become a little more vacant :yes: Srsly treatments have improved and as long as resources are available thangs could be not too terrible :angel:

Speaking of treatments I saw where the new Pfizer pill has potentially deadly interactions with statins. blood thinners & some anti-depressants. :wtf: As B said, "That's half the population down here!". :huh:
STFAFP. :check:
And yes, Mama Durt loves us hanging there & cooking all day even though it just about does her (and me!) in every time any more. :sigh:
She's gotten to where she just wants us to stay & stay & stay. :yes: I understand. And walk the line between getting what I need to do done & hanging with Mom. :wub: I am fully awares that each day is precious. :yes: The holidays are still a bit hollow without :papa: . I noes you understands. :yes: :heartbeat:
Energies are quite egnarts lately. Though the weather surely plays a part. :yes:
We gots a yard full of robins & numerous other birds. The robins are espescially unusual here. :yes:
They are :b: ;s favorite bird. The crows, the hawks, 'my' buzzards... eeerbird is active, noisy & abundant. :yes:
And Accuweather says we are above lamron for the foreseeable future. :happydance:
:siguie: only half right there! :hysterical: I recall you predicting colder than average...a blanket ( :rimshot: ) statement.
It IS that way up north & PNW. But record highs were shattered all over the south for Christmas. 70ish every day here til a brief, not-too-cold dip for a couple days, but then right back up to :spring:

Yeah yeah :whatever: some people still use pHones to "call" others who nude :dunno:
Anywho the Echo Shows are video calling so you can does thangs like when dad has a computer issue he can literally show me what is happenning and it's a lot easier to fix than hasing him describe what a problem is :angel:
Also I setup an echo flex in ebery room that doesn't has an Alexa thang AND dad has Alexa on his smatewatch so he can voice call from anywherez. I also gotted him that Amazon Care Hub $5 a month thingy so iffen he had a real emergency he can ask Alexa to call for backup help like 911 :yes:
Oh yeah that Ninja oven/fryer thang is doog AND prolly more useful than an actual Air Fryer :thumbs: The thang to amemberz iffen you use it a lot a LOT as an Air Fryer ... there is NO oil trap :nono: What isn't trapped in the cooking area is vented out ... out where you ask doog question :yes: :popcorn:
Anywho my dedicated air fryer has a short vent and is just under my stove hood. Dad's cuisinart which is nigh identical to yer :ninja: thang just vents into the kitchen and iffen ya does a lot of oily doof you'll noes :egg: actly where the vent is :muaha: Srsly it's not that big of an issue but once in awhile noes you need to moove the thang to clean up some baked on grease :sofa:
Oh and cover the pan in foil and put it on the bottom rack, then air fry whatever in the basket on the top rack so juices and oil are easier to cleanup :yes: Eventually doesing a thorough cleaning really REALLY :suck: s :horror:
Oh and I always cover the crumb tray in foil too ... shiny side up :oz: Easier cleanage and a little reflected heat back to the cooking bits :yes:
:chuckle: An Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone virtual reality headset. It doesn't take a geniass to figurez out that the future belongs to VR and our alien AI overlordz :angel: Anywho, I want to figurez out how thangs werk, what it's best for other than gamez and generally see how much I can tweak the thang AND it's really very doog :yes: The facemask sucks mightily and the head strap just cannot hold the thang on my head because of the bad fit :gaah: So wider faceplate ordered :check: Elite overpriced head strap thang ordered :check: 3D printed battery pack to add counterweight to the mask and :bump: wireless play time is in the werx 8)
Anywyas it really is freaken AMAZIN :happydance: Do NOT show J ack i 'cuz she'll luv it and want one right away :wubsigh: In another year 2 tops the headgear will be much smaller and even betterer. In the meantime the Oculus gear is clearly going to be the main entry into VR for the masses ... so I wanna noes what it can does and how I can tweak it :angel:
Currently I'm playing with "sidequest" in Ubuntu which is a program that allows tweaking and "side loading" like on android pHones. Basically dangerous :carp: most people shouldn't does but I does AND so far only 2 Factory Resets 'cuz I'm AWESOME :elfparty: :cheer:

The one guy says, "I can't stand my neighbor, he's so noisy." & he bangs on the wall & yells at the 'neighbor' to "keep it down.". :chuckle: The second guy says, "Yeah, I can't stand my neighbor either.". ;rofl:
Thanks for the foil tip. :yes: I hadn't thought about that. And I saw a vent...on the back I believe but I will look again.
Thanks for the heads up on that, too. :yes:

Srsly it's hard enough to drink coffee with the goggles on not noesing where the table is or seeing the mug is no reality I want to be part of :no:

:earthheart:
Boy oh boy I had the strangest dream this morning that I feel I'm still partially in. :wtf:
We were helping set up a commune, of sorts. :huh: Well, it began as just a few peoples taking refuge (from what?) but then more & more peoples began coming til I remember saying to B at one time..."Do you realize what we're creating? It's a whole community". Peoples were being allowed to move in based on skills...or assets. :huh:
It was a ginormous house, not our current house. And a lot of acreage. ANd no other houses for miles. There was a swimming pool that was unused but planned to be restored. And before I got up someone was telling me about 2 500 gallons tanks of water being delivered & how someone was gonna move it, by bucket, to another location. :huh:
I remember helping one guy look for mint tea. I knew we had some but it had yet to be found.
Someone else was telling me just how thankful they were to be there.
And another guy was confessing a crush on me. :laugh:
Seems B & I were the bosses...the Mom & Dad... and most of the peoples were younger.
There was even at least one cute little dog, & I saw 2 of my cats. (at least one of them deceased, Shadow :wub: )
Everyone was happy to be there & all working like busy little beavers to get things situated.
Oddly enough, I do not recall seeing anybody I know, other than B. But there was one girl, 30ish, who was sorta in charge too (or maybe she owned the property?) that I really felt connected to. We even talked about how she had a music theater background...& I a music major. She was the one with the little dog, too.
Very very real. And the most details I remember of any dream as of late. The feel was like a scene out of The Stand, but mixed with the atmosphere at the Dresden donation center after the :twister: But at the same time it was quite positive. :huh:
Maybe I shall copy & Paste this is the dream forum. :yes: For record keeping. :wiggle:

Yesterday 41 states reported numbers over 1k. Some way over.
US reported 572, 029. The reported cases on this date one year ago were 233,133. Big gap there. We're at the top of the list globally. Of course. :sigh: Germany came in 7th with 41,820.

TN: 13, 508 (ok that looks wonky. :scratch:)
I'm sorry :michafire: I missed your :birthday: too. :ashamed:
It was a very rocky holiday season here. :sigh:
So the holiday feast for tonight will be stuffed shells and lasagna with a green salad, garlic bread and chocolate silk pie. :liplick:
A la buffet style because the siblings are at each other's throats. :gaah:
Our weather is mild/warmer than usual. La Nina is definitely having its way with us here.
Have a safe one tonight! :hug: :wub:
The covid daily new case numbers are way, way up with the big apple at the top of the list with 71,169. :uhoh:

Last night I had visible vibrations in my right thigh and :butterfly: in my :heart: chakra. :wtf:
Thanks for the link, :michafire: :righton:
The forum was there...just 'collapsed' for some ddo reason. :huh:
I copied it there for posterity. :rofl:
Pandora :hugs: :shera: You has all the younguns there over the holiday? :sofa:
Ever 'try' energywork in relation to them. It is not a violation of sovereignty to work with the 'space between'.
What I have done is to visualize opening the flows between. The rest is up to them.
Imagine opening the flow from :heart: to :heart: Sole (soul) to sole (soul). Ear to ear. Eye to eye. Back to back. Anything else that comes to mind. And then from one to another or even between 3 of them, in a triangle. However you see fit.
It may help them be more receptive to one another.
Also Ho O'ponono is pure :magic: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. I forgive you. Spoken, thought or written. Doesn't matter. And over & over again as a mantra if necessary.
:gheart:
Y'all see about the fires in Boulder Colorado yesterday? Over 600 homes gone. 100 MPH winds. All in just a few hours. :wtf:
IT came so suddenly that peoples were told to leave their shopping carts at grocers, instructed to get kids from daycare NOW, hospitals discharged all who could walk & moved others to neighboring hospitals.
Absolute mayhem.
:gheart:
And yeah...covid sucks. :sigh: As does the lack of understanding/respect/patience. And Tanasi lies. :sigh: Sailing on de nile.
:gheart:
No leaving the property today, unless it's over to Mom's. :wiggle: Peoples don't party for New year's Eve down here like they does in Ohio..or cities. :nonono: Lotsa peoples set off fireworks tho. :boom: We don't stay up til midnight any more. Not since the olden days when B &/or I had to work on New Year's Eve. Boy that was fun. :nonono: But we made good monies. :chuckle:

Asiel, I do love that mantra. I committed to it for awhilez, then got away from it. A reminder much needed to go back. :hug:
I saw that in Boulder. A pure tragedy. :( I hope the community will pull together like they did in KY. I believe they will.
Hope. It's what drives me. I realized that just in the last couple days. Hopeful always. It came as a surprise to discover it.
Bug has been dreaming a lot of weird and unsettled dreams. She is taking a new med, and I suspect that is driving them.
No dream remembering for me the last few weeks. I remember the community dream too. A whisper in the ear....

I find it fascinating that you all recall an old, similar dream & I have no conscious memory of it. :huh:
But I have always felt strongly that we were here to lay the foundation of some sort of community.
"City of Light" was the phrase that captured me.
But after all these years I began to lose hope. Yep. That word. And I've begun to wonder iffin I was merely :crazy: or delusional.
But faith is my thing. I have faith galore. Unfounded faith that everything works out the way it's meant to, that everything is happening for a reason, that we are all spiritual beings (alien kaerf) on hooman missions that we may or may not understand.
Faith that all is in Divine Order.
And optimism evermore. But I admit to feeling hopelos at times. :sigh:
But I also know beyond the shadow of a doubt that all these critters came to us to keep us from leaving. :run:
I mean...really...we gots 4 cats over 12 years old! :faint: And we live surrounded by forests & dangers to cats.
And just as the cat total dropped from 7 to 6...another freaking one showed up! :faint: Btw, he is a kindred as well. I mean, they all are, but Snoop Dogg is just a bit older & wiser in a Galactic sort of sense. He reminds me of the first S named cat, Spirit. :wub:
Since we've lived here we have had Spirit & Sabor who came from Louisville, Sunny, Shadow, Sweets, Stripes, Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Swami, Spanky & Snoop Dogg. In order of arrival. :rofl: And oddly, the first 4 are now gone. :candle:
Guess no line jumping was allowed. :rofl:

I used Ibuprofen :thumbs:
and it's tight muscle related - not swollen
the physio was supposed to relax and soften the muscles -
but now they fight to go back to the tight state
:chuckle: my body seems to do many things backwards to what the "school medicine" says it should do
(and I recall I had that similar problem last time i got a good physio massage in that area -
pain for at least a year after that :sigh: )

"and it's tight muscle related - not swollen"
Chronic tight or painful muskles IS swellaging :buttkick:
It doesn't even has to be a strain or tendinitis :nono:
Sometimez muskles just bunch up {knot aka myofascial trigger points} and massage is frequently used to push out the bad ffuts like old deoxygenated blood and lactic acid and restore flow :om: It sounds like you has a chronic myofascial trigger point{s} :therethere: and yer earlier masseuse damaged the muskle :uhoh: In all fairness it's hard not to does damage when trying to detrigger point :console:
Regardless Hot Bath :thumbs: it may not resolve the problem BUT it will feelz a lot better :angel: Also this would be a doog place to try a sauna :yes:
Ya seez the :egg: sercises are to relax the "taut band " area while the "hyperirritable spot" is the thang generally surrounded by inflammatory bits. The general procedure is to relax the muskle then squeeze the :carp: out of the point for a minute or two. This is generally a doog procedure for "new-ish" {less than 2 weeks} trigger points but not so doog for chronic ones :therethere:
As always I'm a fan of light therapy :thumbs: but for "chronic" issues a heating pad with a massager is generally a better option BUT requires many weeks of daily use to fix the issue.
Iffen yer doctor still has you at the :egg: sercise and see stage, tell him no joy :nono: and you want the next upgrade which should be some level of heating pad and massager ... ideally a daily visit by a :blonde: guy named Swen from :norway: wielding a "percussion " massager :thumbs: Otherwise a hot pad witha vibrating mode will werk but not be nearly as enjoyable :nono:
Next stage is botox :uhoh: it werks really doog BUT there's always the possibility of diffusuion aka "botox migration" :uhoh: This is generally fine in an arm or leg but should generally be avoided in the neck or higher :whistle:
Yes, I've had way too many massage classes 8)
"and it's tight muscle related - not swollen"
Chronic tight or painful muskles IS swellaging :buttkick:
It doesn't even has to be a strain or tendinitis :nono:
Sometimez muskles just bunch up {knot aka myofascial trigger points} and massage is frequently used to push out the bad ffuts like old deoxygenated blood and lactic acid and restore flow :om: It sounds like you has a chronic myofascial trigger point{s} :therethere: and yer earlier masseuse damaged the muskle :uhoh: In all fairness it's hard not to does damage when trying to detrigger point :console:
Regardless Hot Bath :thumbs: it may not resolve the problem BUT it will feelz a lot better :angel: Also this would be a doog place to try a sauna :yes:
Quote from: pubmedA myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle, which is painful on compression and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phenomena.
... link ...
Ya seez the :egg: sercises are to relax the "taut band " area while the "hyperirritable spot" is the thang generally surrounded by inflammatory bits. The general procedure is to relax the muskle then squeeze the :carp: out of the point for a minute or two. This is generally a doog procedure for "new-ish" {less than 2 weeks} trigger points but not so doog for chronic ones :therethere:
As always I'm a fan of light therapy :thumbs: but for "chronic" issues a heating pad with a massager is generally a better option BUT requires many weeks of daily use to fix the issue.
Iffen yer doctor still has you at the :egg: sercise and see stage, tell him no joy :nono: and you want the next upgrade which should be some level of heating pad and massager ... ideally a daily visit by a :blonde: guy named Swen from :norway: wielding a "percussion " massager :thumbs: Otherwise a hot pad witha vibrating mode will werk but not be nearly as enjoyable :nono:
Next stage is botox :uhoh: it werks really doog BUT there's always the possibility of diffusuion aka "botox migration" :uhoh: This is generally fine in an arm or leg but should generally be avoided in the neck or higher :whistle:
Yes, I've had way too many massage classes 8)

chronic myofascial trigger point{s}
OR
fibromyalagia related trigger point(s)
'cause I have those "ouch" points elsewhere too - but they are currently not being treated ........
and pain meds DO NOT help there
(nor do those anti-depressant ones - I tried it)
and remember that I do have a scoliosis in the spine right thee where it hurts now after that massage
:rainbow:
heck, maybe the physio even dislocated a bit of the disc while trying to "heal" ........... :sigh:

:pey: I tried the anti depressant pain relief years ago, too. :nonono:
I sure was oddly happy :happydance: though. :rofl:
Yoga, stretching...over & over & over again. :righton: And still I gets the pain. :crazyeyes:
Almost 40 years now.
I've decided it's the flip side of being a thenthitive. :oz:
Supposedly, when we fully integrate to 5D we shall have no pain. :dunno:
But I does know that on :bliss: days when we are outside, loving what we do, I can work for hours & hours & hours with no ill effect.
But then vacuuming & mopping the floor can have me lying on the floor with back spasms. I hafta breathe, relax, stretch, hot shower then sleep to get all the pain relieved.
I noes it's a vibrational thingy. Just can't completely 'control' it... yet. ;)
I'm not saying yours is the same, :michafire:
Just telling what I rarely speak about becuz...well...why? :rofl: It's just gone on so long. :yes:
I live with pain more days than not. And rarely take anything becuz...well....just becuz. :wiggle:

doing what I LOVE to do is pain-free (mostly)
doing what I HAVE to do "hurts" (aka I feel the pain more consciously)
NOT taking meds most of the time too -
sometimes it is just "too much" to distract myself from feeling it
and it's not really the back but more the tendons attached to the sacroiliac joint -
that's where I feel the ache; but only on the right side
I can live with it - it's not deadly :rainbow:

"Does our red light suffice? "
:yes: :yes: :nono: srsly it depends on What you use it for How long and how Often
It's a 54W LED combo light running at half power {27W}.
LEDs generally put out 80% luminosity at half power/current and last vastly longer. Also you has half red and half infrared so roughly 11W Red and 11W InfraRed.
Yes, it suffices for a lot of thangs :yes: but is not ideal for eberythang :nono: It's a doog generally safe PhotoBioModulation {PBM} starting light. The infrared light is strong enough to reach B's :heart: and speedup angiogenesis and healing routines BUT there are better options. The red light is powerful enough to help with wound healing, irony of the wrinkly, hair growth and even psoriasis {calming and skin healing} BUT there are better options :yes:
The idea is you figure out if this is something that works for you THEN you invest in something for your specific needs and situation :yes: Like iffen yer hair regrowth works upgrade to a laser helmet 'cuz it's easier and will werk better.
Ya see yer bulb would be ideal for Pan's hands/wrist iffen she were interested :yes: :michafire: on the other hand would find it difficult to nearly impossible to use appropriately and would does better in a light chamber/bed at a proper clinic iffen she were interested.
The main thang is to figure out iffen PBM works for you and iffen it's worth the investment OR iffen yer just interested in the whole thang and after 20 years of investigating you just happen to has enough ffuts to build yer own crucible of healing/rejuvinating you can just thow one to gether and smateswitch it so Alexa can run thangs :matt:

Yeah well it's an Alexa thang ... you need to choose wurdz that are recognizeable and or different enough that she understands and doesn't confuse them with something else. I tried Nidavellir {the dwarf forge} but she could neber git it right :gaah: So I thunked the actual setup bore some resemblance to the laser fusion system where 192 UV lasers are all aimed at a gold shrouded deuterium/tritium target and I noes some call the target zone the "crucible" so :boom: :matt:
Anywho, the gold shroud is a shiny mylar emergency blanket to reflect light back but otherwise it's basically what ya imagine :yes:
In other newses the :sun: is kilawatting :gstars: :woohoo: this is the first fully :sun: ny day for quite a whilez so I might finally git a doog solar output reading :headbang:

We ended up with about 6" which is a LOT of snow for this region. Our average annual amount is 2.7". :chuckle:
Tomorrow we are above freezing & then have :rain: tomorrow night. :chuckle:
At least the snow has kept kids home from school & others 'socially distanced' to maybe help slow the spread of Omicron. :woe:

Ok it's warm now BUT there is potentially some changes coming :no: ... in about 2 weeks :whistle:
Anywho the NOAA has a Global Forecast System {GFS} as part of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction {NCEP} where you can git data and check out numerous long term trends and models NCEP (http://national%20centers%20for%20environmental%20prediction)
It's very technical and requires a fair amount of werk to unerstanz so here's a video clip of someone who has done the werk ... Ryan Hall, Y'all (https://youtu.be/e4BECFuZj68?t=394)
Basically it's too far away to say with any certainty BUT after that Tejas :shiver: storm last February ... peoplez ... like moi ... have been watching the polar ridge ... basically there are larger perturbations than normal and ebery once in a while ffuts happens and a cold finger gits pushed down into the US.
Agin too far away ... BUT there were indications in the data back afores the tejas freeze {or so I am told} ... so this is just a "be awarez" ... there may be a SUDDEN temperature drop in the US or not :wiggle:

I only know of one public faery farm, Perelandra, that is in Tanasi (or Georgia?), in the foothills of the Smokies about 5 hours from here.
It's 6-9pm Friday, 11-2 & 6-9 both Saturday & Sunday. :sparkle:
Those hours work well for me whether B is back at work or not. :yes:
Next week he begins the search. :sparkle: Finding a boj is not a problem. So many places have walk-in, hire today, sign on bonuses.... Choosing the best boj is the thang. :sparkle: So many variables...he is fascinated by Kohler , who is firing all their unvaccinated & hiring anew. :huh: And he axshully tossed his resume out on Indeed to a washroom fixture company headquartered in Hollywood Hills as a 'management trainee'. The boj required a 3 month stint in CA. :chuckle: That boj also required vax. Most factries around here don't even require masks. :nonono: And definitely don't want peoples to get tested or miss work. :crazyeyes:

Just stay out of the hopsickles for the next 30 days ... that's when thangs will start calming down :yes:
Oh and I saw that tanassi is rationing the monoclonal antibodies 'cuz each state receives only 800 doses and eberone coming in asks for it :woe: The thang eberyone wants when they are desperate is literally what they can make themselves for free iffen they got vaccinated :woe:
There are some people who simply cannot get the vaccine and I do feel bad for them BUT at this point the unvaccinated have basically made their choice so I've mostly stopped paying attention to the UnVaccinated news. The main benefit of this is thangs really are soooo much brighter :bliss:
Anywho the main reason for the vaccinated to wear masks is to "flatten the curve" to help the hopsickles. The vast majority of vaccinated will feel nuthin or just mild cold symptoms BUT masking still slows progression :yes:

fold noun (2)
Definition of fold (Entry 3 of 5)
1a: a group of people or institutions that share a common faith, belief, activity, or enthusiasm
His former colleagues would be glad to welcome him back into the fold.
:dunno: still...
As for caffeine... it's aging. :nana:
When I was in my 30s & even 40s still I could drink :coffee: from morning til bedtime then go straight to bed & sleep.
Rarely would I ever hit a 'limit' where I felt jittery of cranky & if I did it always seemed to be influenced more by hormonal changes.
Then... it began affecting me more. And I kept 'losing' my cup of coffee. I noes I rambled about it on here &/or in Zannaland.
I was always seemingly chasing my coffee & when I found it, it would be cold. Tho sometimes I found it in the microwave. :chuckle: That was my first sign that I didn't 'need' so much any mores. :rofl:
You're growing up. :therethere:
:pie:
:bsl:
OH! Today is 1.10.2022. Quite another binary kinda day. :wiggle: Then we gets 1.11.2022 & 1.12.2022. Also 1.20.2022, 1.21.2022, & 1.22.2022. :hysterical:
Of course, February will be tons of numerical fun as well. :happydance:

Though last I heard :sandman: was still over at the skeery forum stirring ffuts up :dunno:
"You're growing up. :therethere: "
:chuckle: Doog one :hysterical:
Pretty sure the 8th cup of :coffee: may of had sumthin to does with it but I was :bliss: ing with different roast profiles and elebenteen new coffees that needed trying :yes:
Um "doog" coffee should taste doog hot or cold :yes:
Anywho the new roaster is AWESOME :headbang: I can roast 35g to 100g at a time and they are identical :yesss: At 35g with 15% moisture and chaff loss that's one siguie cup of coffee OR at 100g that's doog for a couple of daze :woohoo: It's just so quick and easy vs setting up the grill. Heck I can has a different "fresh" coffee eberyday :bliss2:
FYI: Most :coffee: needs a day or two to "age" {degass and finish up flavour development} and preferably 4-7 days, while espresso roasts typically need about 2 weeks. However, after about 4 weeks :coffee: goes down quick :unthumbs: that's why I never trust store coffee without a roast date :nono:

At the very least it makes for an awesome air freshener in your house. :righton: :wubsigh:
Energies were 'wakey' here last night. :wtf: Several cats, B...which led to me waking up (tho I went right back to sleep :chuckle: )
Spanky was running all through the house. :huh: Usually he's in bed, motionlos.
But now that I think about it all day yesterday was quite amplified. :jumpy: I was wired, sans caffeine :p , and B was quite animated. J was more :sigster: -fied.

Also ALL my neighbors in both directions and a few streets back have had my :coffee: ... and many have tried to does their own and atleast 2 ended up purchasing Behmor's and a couple of others gotted various fluid bed air roasters over the years :yes:
The gateway :coffee: roasters are the old air :popcorn: poppers :yes: You can still pick them up in garage sales and thrift stores for one or two buckaroonies :yes: Once you realize a $2 thrift store item plus a $5 to $7 pound of green coffee can make better :coffee: than a $20 burnt bag of starbuck's finest ... thangs tend to escalate :horror:
Pretty sure I'm the only one able to git away with roasting over a charcoal starter / jet engine 8)
Anywho once you git a chaff collector there's nuthin to see :dunno: The :bean: s yellow then turn brown and iffen you listen closely you can hear the first crack and second iffen yer making a dark roast.
Afores it was 30 minutes of stirring and flipping over a jet engine followed by stirring and flipping in the air cooler. Now it's 10:30 of watching a poppcorn popper not pop poppcorn :oz:
I was gonna make a video :yes: BUT it would be incredibly boring even by my standards :yawn:

That is for sure.

Spoo. The Grizzlies won their 10th in a row & beat the GS Warriors last night. :cheer:
I noes that means absolutely nothing to you, but it's quite a big thing. :yes:
Regardless of your disinterest, that team by the Bay is arguably one of the best teams in the NBA. :yes:

Yup! :yes: but you'd be surprised how many people like the scent of :coffee: that they don't like to drink :chuckle:
Then there's the fact that most peoplez don't realize the reason they like one coffee and not another has nuthin to does with the coffees it's the grind size for their brew method is wrong :chuckle: They usually try to compensate by adding a little more or using a little less BUT that cannot fix an :egg: traction problem :nono: Worst of all people so often buy pre-ground :no:
Then there are those who buy all-in-1 coffee systems with timers and computers that automagically screw eberythang up for them and they wonder why their :coffee: is :carp:
Yeah, so I'm actually very happy to give people siguie brand roasted :coffee: :yes: but only if they has propper toolz and noes enough to make doog :coffee: otherwise their opinions mean nuthin :nono: Iffen they don't like it there's no way to noes iffen they used it correctly and if they do like it there's no way to noes iffen they used it correctly :nono:

Prolly :yes: I noes the only reason I noes all of them is 'cuz of my unique way of doesing ffuts and delightful eccentricities :angel: Most just think psyentists are like this :roll: and I git asked all sorts of bizarre questions :chuckle:
Like when asked why his {neighbours} :coffee: didin't taste like mine even though it was from the same batch I brought over some sieves to measure his grind quality and used two thermocouples to git the water temp as it was being added to the grounds and as it was leaving AND measured the contact time.
Anywho his grind was too coarse {also uneven but that's sumthin else} and his water was too cool and the contact time too fast. Or as I asplained it, the grind was for a percolator, the water temp was for light to medium coffee and his contact time was too low. Too which he basically responded he put eberythang on the drip setting :wall:
In any event I tweaked his grinder and he watched me weigh the water as I made him a pour over where I timed eberythang including a 30 second bloom. Anywho I still remember his wurdz of "who makes coffee like that" :chuckle:
So yes neighbors are :huh: but intrigued :yes: and most don't noes coffee :nono: but a half dozen or so do :yes: ... now :muaha:
Anywho, I likes doog cheap :coffee: that's full of tweaking potential :wubsigh: most of them went :stun: and spent a small fortune :faint: Atleast their :coffee: is better than places like Starbucks :thumbs:

Yeah sumthin is srsly wrong :hmm2: those numbers don't look right 'cuz they/you are reporting predominantly Delta in fact those numbers look like they were prior to xmas. Maybe they published the wrong data or are intentionally mixing up the info :dunno:
Iffen you had Delta you can still catch Omicron BUT once you had Omicron you are protected against Delta so Omicron has been shown to be replacing Delta.
Yeah those numbers are not right :nono: tanassi should be hitting the peak in another week or so AND it should be essentially ALL Omicron. They might have :egg: cuses for how they are reporting but I would not trust any of the tanassi data 'cuz it don't make no sense :nonono:
Between 25% and 40% of tanassi hopsickles have "critical" staffing shortages, which means doctorz and staff are being quarantined :buttkick: ed while the patient numbers rise. Also it looks like your states patient numbers just passed your all time high so I'm not sure how the states numbers are even relevant at this point.
:carp: Pan's state is in critical overload as well as New York :horror:
Ya noes this is a doog week to choose to self quarantine even without an infection or just play lockdown :thumbs:
Oh and to all those people thinking iffen they has been vaccinated it would be easier to just git Omicron now and be done with it :buttkick: Yes, it would prolly be fine BUT iffen sumthin goes wrong now is a bad time to git hopsikilized also don't fergetz kidz under 5 still cannot be vaccinated AND kidz are high on the goto hopsickle list right now :uhoh:

Short :book: :
Ruler Doof, Martin TN.
I likes that store becuz:
#1 it's all Kroger brand ffutses & cheaper than anywhere else
#2 you bag your own
#3 there is never hardly anyone else in the store making social distancing not even a factor.
#4 I noes practically every item they carry & where it is.
I don't like that they are mostly anti-vaxxers & wear masks slopppily if at all. The manager even told me how he'd reluctantly taken "the shot" back in the fall "to keep his boj". Elsewise, they nice peoples. :wiggle: :sigh:
So whilst checking us out our cashier was talking to the other cashier & telling her how the manager had just called to tell the assistant manager that he has to quarantine for up to 2 weeks. The assistant asked if he had covid & he would not answer. Just said, "I have to quarantine".
Our cashier was :pissed: She says, "I was with him all day yesterday & if I get covid I am gonna be so pissed. I've avoided it all this time & now.... :pissed: " Then she goes on to say how she's not getting a vax under any circumstances & how she never gets sick. "My immune system is strong. I never get anything." But seconds later.... "I have kidney failure. Just 30% functioning in one kidney...70% in the other."
I was saying nothing. B & J were already over at the bagging counter. They (the :pissed: one mostly) were talking to each other as if I was a :ghost: :rofl:
Our cashier had told me months ago how she believed that the vaccinated peoples were the ones spreading the virus all over the place. "The vaccination itself sheds virus everywhere they go.". I said, "Oh... I hadn't heard that" (mask pulled tighter :laugh: )
Our cashier was masklos, the other had one under her chin. :sigh: We all had kn95s.
B & Jacki hadn't heard a thing & after paying I says, "Speed it up. Let's get out of here." :rofl:
And yes I noes it is omicron & yes I figure it will spread through that store like :campfire:
And no I won't go back for at least 2 weeks.

Oh & I am certain he was positive. He didn't tell becuz then by rule all those with him would need to quarantine as well & that would leave the store employeelos. :yes:
That's the unwritten rule down here. Don't ask, don't tell. Just go to work, dammit. :sigh:

The thang is Omicron is likely more infectious than measles, which already has a 90% infection rate :uhoh: And that woman is a maskloss talker :blah: which could make her a super spreader :superman: :horror:
And that's why I still use my death ray on ffuts I buy :yes: You should definitely be using yer wand thang too :yes: Oh and don't fergets to :wave: yer wand over yer masks :whistle:
Also totally called it on masks :thumbs: I stocked up on the N/K/M 95 masks at the perfect time :muaha:
:michafire: That's weird Germanese tests are basically the top tier in covid testing you all not only has the bestest test you also has the most tests run per 100k :yes: It may have been a mass swarm issue with too many new tests all happening at once overloading the system BUT you guyz 'n galz have the bestest data of any country :yes: ... the US on the other hand :woe:
Yeah I'm thinking 1 week 2 tops and we should be on the downward slope :yes: so hunker down and stay safe and wait for the ride to end :horror:
Srsly 700,000 new cases per day :faint: and that's known cases it literally cannot go on much longer :nono:
FYI: Quarantine is now 5 days plus 5 days mandatory masking not 2 weeks :angel:

:michafire: That's weird Germanese tests are basically the top tier in covid testing you all not only has the bestest test you also has the most tests run per 100k :yes: It may have been a mass swarm issue with too many new tests all happening at once overloading the system BUT you guyz 'n galz have the bestest data of any country :yes: ... the US on the other hand :woe:
Yeah I'm thinking 1 week 2 tops and we should be on the downward slope :yes: so hunker down and stay safe and wait for the ride to end :horror:
Srsly 700,000 new cases per day :faint: and that's known cases it literally cannot go on much longer :nono:
FYI: Quarantine is now 5 days plus 5 days mandatory masking not 2 weeks :angel:

yeah - 5 days quarantine here too
and 5 days for contact person unless you are boostered (aka had your 3rd shot) - then you are free to go
non-vacced need to take test after 5 days to go free.........

:horn: Impossible burgers at Costco 8x4oz $10 :faint:
That's almost down to the price of real :cow: :burger: s :faint:
Personally I think the Beyond burgers are superior to the Impossible burgers neither of which is as doog as a siguie brand burger BUT the faux :burger: s are doog to keep in the deep freeze 'cuz they do better than frozed :cow: :yes:
Also "live" sauerkraut is $8 for 1.5 litres :woe: Do people just not realize how easy that :carp: is to make :gaah:
In other newses ... I lub my :coffee: roaster :wubsigh:
In other OTHER newses looks like Heck/tanassi might be freezing over this weekend :whistle: Not tejas in Feb. type :shiver: but ya prolly should have some ffuts ready for a quick chill :snowball:

I still think Amazon :whistle:
Oh you is in the :norway: transition zone :horror: Srsly the cold finger shoots down right at you BUT you also has the Gulf warmz pushing up. Depending on how thangs go you could easily be 10 degreez higher or lower with tons of snow or :rain: or :twister: s or nuthin much at allz :nono:
That's why now it's time to prep :yes: Of course it's curious that over here people buy emergency toilet paper but over where you is it's emergency kitty litter :chuckle:

With brown rice, air-fried tofu & leftover chicken bites.
Speaking of air fryers...
Air fried boiled eggs really really suck! :spitcoffee:
J ack i wants to try everything in the air fryer & according to the internet it's a thing. :nonono:
250 for 12-16 minutes they say makes perfect, easy to peel, 'boiled' :egg:
15 minutes made not done :egg: & 10 more minutes and still not done so then I put the remainder (started with 6, trashed 2 in testing) in a pot of water to axshully cook them. :eggface:
I hopes we do get lots of :snowball:
But also I can't wait til sprang for real. :spring: :bliss:

Yeeeeeah ya amemberz that bit about me saying yerz is more convection oven than airfryer well convection ovenz don't convect as much as AirFrerz and honestly neither is doog for :egg: s in a shell :nonono: BUT a doog AirFryer "can" pull it off 8)
There really are not any doog reliable methods for easily removing shells :sigh: Yer best bet is to put :egg: s into boiling water with a little baking soda, then cool quickly and crack them a bit ... ice not required but slighly basic {more soda} helps.
The idea is to shock the eggs quickly, making micro fractures, while quickly setting {denaturing} the whites. The fractures let a little water in between the set whites and shell while the :egg: cooks and slightly basic water makes the proteins a little less sticky.
Cooling the :egg: s quickly just helps firm up the whites so they are a little tougher before you start peeling. AND the jostle to crack agin helps getting a little sumthin between the shell and the white :angel:
Thang is there is NO reliable method ... just sumthangs werk more often than others ... air frying does NOT help. Pressure cooking is a maybe as is puncturing the wide end but boiling is always the easiest :oz:

I never tried baking soda. :nonono: I will see what happens.
Some :egg: shell easily...others don't. I've read that the freshest :egg: are hardest to shell but :dunno:
The microcracking thingy is what I does anyway.... I gently squeeze or tap, tap, tap till I gots cracks all over the egg & then carefully get beneath the 'skin'. Most times it works, but once in awhile... :gaah:
So we gots an inch or so of slush on top of a light coating of ice. :yes:
I was up at 3 letting Cookie out & it was the heaviest, most beautiful, giant wet flaked snowfall :wubsigh:
but the ground was so warm & wet that it turned slushy & crunchy.
The trees sure are purtiful though. :wubsigh:
It will likely melt away today (high of 41) which will totally bum out the school kids. :rofl:

"Some :egg: shell easily...others don't. I've read that the freshest :egg: are hardest to shell but :dunno: "
Yeah, I tested that and no :buttkick:
I has a neighbor that raises chickens for :egg: s and I've had :egg: s hours old which shell bootifully :wubsigh: and others that were :gaah:
Also baking soda isn't :magic: :nono: cracking the egg while it's still cooking just gives the water more time to git between the shell and the whites and baking soda makes the two membranes slippery instead of sticky like acids do {aka denature}.
Iffen ya looks up the anatomy of an egg you'll see there is an inner and outer membrane, if you pierce the bottom of an egg where the little air pocket is you have the best chance of getting alkaline water in between the two membranes so as the :egg: cooks it's like the two membranes are separated. When you shell the thang the outer membrane mostly goes with the shell and you has a little bit of inner membrane on the egg BUT that just rubs off easy :peas: y :yes:
Anywho, purty sure how easy an egg is to shell depends more on the type of chicken, doof/deef and a doog amount of luck :yes:
Oh and iffen you eber make "Golden Eggs " aka scramble inside the shell ... there aint no way to git the shellz off without sacrificing most of the egg :gaah:
Oh and "Golden Eggs" make great Dragon Skin :egg: s :thumbs: oh and the better known is Tiger Skin :egg: s which are just the fried regular boiled :egg: s :oz:
FYI: fried boiled :egg: s absorb flavours really well and are doog at holding on to sauces :yes: They is a lot like what people want tofu to does BUT it wont :fist:
Ohai Apparently 1 we had a tsunami ... agin (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/surf1.gif)
In other newses my little coastal town is averaging 700 cases per week which is a hunert per day ... previously the high was 200 per week orabout 30 per day ... and the numberz are rising :horror:
The doog news is that it looks like Omicron has peaked in states like New York and Pennsylvania :thumbs: KalipHorniyaz looks like a few more daze to perhaps a week :yes: ... tanassi :huh: :hysterical: ... yeah them numberz have no sensicalz :therethere:
It looks like the US is on the cusp of the peak but there are lots of places/states that are gonna need a week or two ... which is actually a doog thang :yes:

Yeah the :wave: was a couple of feetz high ... the thang is they are low but loooong and tend to arrive in pulses that act like stairs so if the timing is just right they can add together :horror:
Some low lying areas got wet, the worst was a parking lot maybe Sacramento :dunno: but here the boat launch area was under 2 or 3 inches of water for a few minutes :no:
I gotted a warning from Alexa and some ffuts came over the emergency weather broadcast but I fergetted to walk over to the beach and :check: :darn:
Yup! 2022 is looking doog :thumbs: ya noes ... relatively ... compared to the last couple anywayz :whistle:
Oh yeah I think purty much eberyone interested in cooking has wanted to noes the best way to peel boiled eggs :yes: There is no ONE bestest way :sigh: just what werks best fer "you" and fer me that's cracked in baking soda water :yes: And cooling the :egg: firms up the white so it's a little less prone to gouging.
Anywho I likes when I has some unerstanzing of what's happening vs "try this it werks " :roll:
Speaken of unerstanzing ... that :shiver: warning I gave a few weeks back looks right plus or minus one day BUT it should reach straight down to Floriduh :snowball:
Srsly this is a doog time to be stocked up and git cozy :yes: 'cuz Omicron is running rampant, hopsickles are actually worser than eber afores on account of 20% to 25% staff self quarantining AND critical care beds are essentially full :uhoh: Even with Omicron being much less severe it looks like intubation is increasing :uhoh:
In other newses it's basically sprang here :yes: 62°F with mid 60's and mostly sunny for the next 7 daze :bliss:

But is Omicron really less severe or is it just that so many vaccinated are getting it & hasing milder cases as a result? :pie:
I still think it oughta be a crime that Tanasi is not releasing daily numbers. :gaah:
A crime against humanity....literally. Peoples here eally do think it mild. They pretty much have always doubted that it was much more than a cold. So everybody is running nekkid-faced all nilly willy hither & tither & everwhere in-between. :hysterical:
Only a snow forecast will keep them home! :woe:
We gots doof for weeks & months. :yes: Gots critter supplies for at least a week. And I am hoping that the Universe keeps :b: tethered until the worst is over. :sparkle:

"But is Omicron really less severe or is it just that so many vaccinated are getting it & hasing milder cases as a result? :pie: "
It's really less severe :yes: about 80% as pathogenic as covid original flavour and only 10% as pneumonia inducing.
For those who have no immunity {vaccine or prior infection } this would translate to the equivalent of an :egg: tremely bad cold very roughly 3 times worser than a BAD cold/flu season. For those with some immunity, especially highly vaccinated and boosted :thumbs: it should be somewherez in between Don't notice and bad sniffles ... comorbidities not withstanding.
Basically yes it's still so worth getting vaccinated and boosted :yes: BUT yeah now it really is a "bad cold" :yes: ... just ya noes maybe really really really bad for some :whistle:
Um yeah it kinda is "illegal" to withhold health information BUT the majority of tanasianz refuse to believe it so from those collecting the data to the level of those dispersing it there's no easy way to say it's your fault go to jail :club: Besides, that level of covid denying is kinda at the same level of being a flat earther. It's a fundamental belief ... no amount of data or proof is gonna change that ... let it go :therethere: ... Let it GO ... let it go ... let it go :choir: :snowball:
Srsly the pandemic is basically over :yes: vaccination now could save a few thousand and is still a doog personal decision but in a couple of months Omicron will burn itself out and only local hotspots will keep it around. After that it becomes endemic for atleast a year or two :yes:
OK today was definitely Thursdazed :faint: dang I'm tired :yawn: :coffee:
On the plus side I was given an old Fire Tablet HD 10 ... I believe the 2017 edition ... it weren't werken and hasn't been for years so naturally it was given to me :hmm:
Anywho I used the secret key sequence to factory reset it and :gstars: :woohoo:
SO ... :whatever: ... I think I'll turn it into an android tablet :wiggle:

So the chance of another variant is basically nil? :scratch:
Ya know, they're mailing out free at-home tests starting next week?
And passing out 3 n95 masks per person starting next week as well?
Better late than never? :hysterical:
Or is it becuz they know the end is near so they are releasing the govt stockpiles?
And then...these measures can 'take credit' for the end of the pandemic?
:stars:
Anyway....someone ( :michafire: ) is :missing: :hearts:
Again. :woe:

N95 and testing thingies are a doog idea ... though 2 weeks ago would have helped a lot more :roll:
They are NOT to end the pandemic :nono: the Omicron will does that itself :yes: it's to :egg: tend it just enough to "flatten the curve " :yes:
Right now too many people are getting sick at the same time so hopsickles are overwhelmed. To make matters worser those same hopsikilz are woefully understaffed due to prior burn out AND having to self quarantine. On average US hopsiklz have more patients than eber afores in any wave AND they are generally missing 20% to 25% of their staff. This is why the National Guard is being called in and many places can only offer "comfort care" :horror:
N95 masks ARE effective against Omicron and people who test positive staying home will help slooow the progression down. Of course this is mostly to save those people who don't believe in covid or masking BUT there are some people who cannot git vaccinated and are at risk OR are already at risk from comorbidities so I'm ok with it :angel:
:horn: sign up to git both the N95 masks AND the tests :yes:
Yeah I noes I said don't git tested :nono: and that's still the correct moobe iffen yer staying at home :yes: BUT iffen one of youse test positive for Omicron then you ALL are infected AND 5 to 10 daze later you really are done with the pandemic :thumbs: you can go out and blend with the local knuckleheads and be a true tanassian agin :om:
"So the chance of another variant is basically nil? :scratch: "
No another variant is basically guaranteed :yes:
This variant {Omicron} is sooo virulent that essentially everyone is going to git it. When enough people catch a virus the ones that survive gain immunity. When Omicron is finished eberyone on :earth: that survives will be immune :cleanse: in much the same way vaccinating the whurled could have ended covid :yes:
There is ALWAYS a chance that thangs can go sidewayz :sofa: BUT considering how :egg: ceptional Omicron is at spreading it's more likely that something unrelated to covid or atleast a new type of coronavirus will be the bad thang :blob: Otherwise the mutations needed, will need to increase lethality, which is not evolutionarily favoured, AND be sufficient to avoid previous immunity to covid. Sadistically the pandemic is over but there is a very very small but not zero chance it's not :sofa:
Most likely are variants that manage to avoid some immunity coming back for the next year or two, during flu season.
In the meantime restock and rejoice :gstars: and git ready for the next thang :sofa:

:sparkle: :wwsd: :sparkle:

Tanassi is too messed up to come clean now :therethere: but the doog news is it looks like infections are just now starting to dip :yesss:
The UK and Canada are a couple of weeks ahead and their numbers are dropping quick :thumbs: The US in general looks like it's peaked and just beginning to fall and based on the countries ahead of us the drop appears to be about 5 to 10% per week. Germany on the other hand is still in the rising pHase 'cuz they did better than us and have far superior testing :fist:
Anywho with a relatively linear drop like seen in the the UK and Canada the US should be down to "safe" numbers in 5 weeks though the US is between 25% and 40% worser when it comes to vaccinations so ... yeah there are gonna be some big :boom: numbers when unvaccinated hotspots git hit :uhoh:

thus the real numbers might even be much higher

Oh the numberz are definitely Higherer :horror: but yer country is behind the Omicron US time frame because you gotted a higher vaccination rate, better mask and social distancing compliance and better testing. So the time you picked up the Omicron variant was later BUT the time and spread numbers {R factor} are more accurate :yes:
Purty much Japan is the only country with doog reporting that's doesing unbelievably well :faint: And that's likely due to :egg: ceptionally doog masking and social distancing and just epic levelz of personal hygiene cleanliness :cleanse:
Now the really interesting country to watch is gonna be China :share: ... zero covid lock down policies and both Delta and Omicron eberywhere AND trying to host the Olympics :horror: Oh yeah this is gonna end well :whistle:
I has ALL yer weatherz on my pHone/tablets :yes: AND yup there aint no place worser than tanassi :horror:
Speaking of horror weather ... it's 70°F outside :horror:
Atleast the rest of the week will be mid 60's and :sun: ny which is survivable :angel:

There is some kick :ass: frost on the deck though. :wubsigh:
This is why we say you gotta be tough to live on the mountain. :righton: The :treehug: and :flower: and such, in particular.
Only the strongest of plant can handle the hottest hot, the wettest wet, & still survive the occasional deep freeze.
This is also why I someday want climate controlled growing space. :nonono: Not thermal mass or rocket power. :nonono: Not hot water bottles or heating cables. :nonono: Not a hot compost pile in the :hula: or a pellet stove at the lower end. :nonono:
Year-round climate controlled. Like the highest tech of all greenhouses. :check: With separate rooms so I could grow things like :tomato: & squashes in one room...:broccoli: & lettuces in another

Anyway...there is a quality engineer position open for which he is duly qualified & would enjoy.
But...he found out the quality manager is his former quality manager from Briggs & Stratton (that one closed down in 2012).
He had a very doog working relationship with him. :righton:

Anywho US numbers are looking up ya noes by drastically coming down :thumbs: Basically hopsikilizations, new infections and even deaths all down by over 10% ... ok deaths are down 8% but that one takes a bit longer :sigh:
The bestest news is that the drop is ... mostly ... double digits ... AND kidz are gonna be vaccine eligible ... soon ...
Hopefully the vaccines are out afores the pandemic is declared over. Post pandemically speaking the resulting endemic will be milder the greater the number of vaccinated there are. Also if it takes too long more parents will just assume the pandemic is over and not vaccinate their children :woe:

There are still soooo many here in the red states that vow to never ever get a vax or put one in their kids.
They are ebil, they says. :faint: Even Eric Clapton & Van Morrison ( :bawling: ) are singing about the ebils of vaccinations & laws.
Eric Clapton says all of us who are vaccinated are under hypnosis. :cleanse: :eek:
Didja know that sigh-entists have declared us offishully in the 6th mass extinction event? :faint:
And hoomans are obliviously an extinctable species.
Oh & Tejas is seriosuly talking about seceding from the US. Becoming the state of Texit. :woe: For real.
Way way back when... the prophecy stated that Tejas would secede first... and then the real fun begin. :wtf:
More secessions, civil unrest, and big :quake: on the West Coast followed quickly by another :quake: on the New Madrid... :frantic:
I did not make up nor personally foresee any of that. Just recalling what was circulating back around 2002-4 or 5ish. Post 9/11.
My personal timeline includes flowers & growing vegetables & fluttery beings & lotsa :sun: & :bliss:

Last week's nor'easter dumped about a foot and a half of snow on us. It ain't melting. Temps are staying :shiver: Today was positively balmy, topping out at 25F. But, gonna go back into single digits by tomorrow's wake up.
Yet, my prayer plant is putting out a bunch of new shoots, as if it were springtime. :scratch: I'm thinkiin' maybe an early spring ?
What's this omicron sub variant doin'? BA.2 is making it's way with doubling numbers daily.... :hmm2: according to stuff I've been catching in the news.
Been edgy and not sleepin' well. I keep feelin' like there's gonna be some shake, rattle, and roll coming in.

Srsly near as I can tell it's just Omicron managing to be even more infectious :yes: The doog news is that immunity to Omicron 1 appears to confer immunity to Omicron 2. Other than that it looks pretty much the same though I believe it is dominant in Denmark :yes:
Did the "not sleeping well" also perchance include Frenetic Dreamz ? :share:
'cuz it's purty muches that time agin :yes:
As for the foreboding doooomage ... well yer gonna has to be more specific :dunno: I mean there's the Tonga aftermath, Ukraine/Russia/USA then of course China with Omicron AND Delta in lockdown afores the Winter Olympics :woe: Oh and of course the US Omicron surge is just now passing the peak so hopsikilz are a tad full PLUS any number of knucklehead antivaxx antimask shenanigans you can think of :roll:
Ooooh Prayer Plants are cool :thumbs: they is one of the best plants to setup for time lapse :yes: and they are purty :wub:
I dunno about yer early sprang but it's clear, dry and :sun: ny here for the next 2 weeks or so AND mid 60's :bliss:
Of course normally this is our :rain: ny season :whistle:
Ohai :horn: any interest in Red/Infrared light therapy {aka pHotobiomodulation } ? :whistle:
:leisa: Ok Karmatube is purty cool AND the Buddha of Oakland is a doog story :beerme:
"Didja know that sigh-entists have declared us offishully in the 6th mass extinction event? :faint: "
:woe: Always read the original paper :roll: 'cuz no :buttkick:
According to a study from U. of Hawaii we "may " be in the initial pHase of Mass :egg: tinction #6 only 'cuz we're causing it ... iffen you believe in Global Warming / Climate Change PLUS eberythang else that hoomanz do ... well then eberythang is dying off on account of us hence #6.
Of course another thang to keep in mind is that the Global Fertility Rate for hoomanz has been steadily declining :yes:
Then this pandemic while arguably less severe than the Spanish Flu the number of deaths is higher and that killed an estimated 50 million around the whurld.
So while hoomanz might be instigating #6 some people believe the :earth: is fighting back :angel:

Funny story about that prayer plant. I found it sprouting in Goliath's pot. (Goliath is a huge Dracaena that I saved from death at the bank.)
My kids didn't realize it was magical until I pointed it out one night. Anyways it's thriving in the south window of my bedroom. Not only are there new shoots, but it's also outgrowing the pot. :eek: Neber have I eber seen new shoots in January. :eek:
Explosive, ground rumbling sorta shake, rattle, and roll. Something on a big scale. I doesn't has nothin' else. Iffin I do, I shall report.
The human global stuffs is very tense right now. Russia pushing against the Ukraine borders, has everyone in a tizzy. I'm more worried about Tawain than I am about Ukraine. Not to say there isn't trouble, I mean the whole beef over NATO inclusion isn't little that's for sure.
Meanwhile, N Korea is on it's 5th "test". I'm not clear on why he needs to beat his chest. He does that.

I was gonna text you TODAY! :faint: Was gonna axshully yesterday about the time you posted :chuckle: :sparkle: except I had one big cat on my lap & another little, old cat laying at my chest over my arms like a baby. :wub: I could not move. Even to reach my phone. :chuckle:
I had to google prayer plant. :yes: I noes the plant, just not the name. :yes:
My corn plant has new growth. :yes: And my jasmines are blooming!! :wubsigh:
And yes, I agrees on the rumbling, shaking, earth-shattering kinda ffuts. :earthheart:
nothing new here except that :b: has pretty much slept the month of January away. :happydance:
Finally...he's looking lamron. And gots resumes out here & there for :sparkle: Divine Intervention :sparkle: :yes:
Funny thing (not really but hey ya gotta laugh... :rofl: ) but since he left his boj a month ago 4 of the 6 supervisors have quit, the only superintendent has quit & yesterday the plant manager was fired! :faint: He said he would axshully entertain going back IF the culture was changed & they weren't driving peoples 12 hours a day for 7 days a week. :chuckle:
I am hoping the ideal boj is 2 miles down the road. :yes:

Woke up to -3F but it's gotten a bit warmer now at 3F. Yeah, such is life in the northeast. They're predicting another nor'easter this weekend, but it looks like it'll hug the coast so we won't see anything from it. I keep thinking about the garden and what I want to do this year. So, I know I'm ready for warmer weather.
My little bedroom sits on the southwest corner, and gets lovely light and stays pretty comfy. I don't artificially extend light in there. Mainly because of my prayer plant, It folds up when the sun goes down, and I have it in my head that I don't want to disrupt it unnaturally. I knows. I think :crazy: that should come as no suirprise.
:asiel: I'm so relieved that :b: has nested and rested. He really needed to do that. I was worried for awhile there because he was pushing too hard against what his body was sayin'. At a local factory hear, the plant manager came storming out to the 10 min break area and just let loose on the workers saying that they could take away the breaks and no one would ever know, and make them work straight through the 12 hours. Then called them all worthless. So, I says, the state would have their :butt: if it was reported, and why didn't they have a union cuz they're large enough,,,,and then I shut up. I said the "u" word, and that is dangerous around here. :sofa:d
:michafire: I want your winter. :sigh:
It appears that BA.2 is "stealth" so it takes longer to ID, and honestly, data isn't suficient enough to really track it's nature. Also it's one and a half times more contagious. But it doesn't seem to "stick" so to speak. It's definitely monitor-worthy, but I don't sense it will be deadlier.

Dang -3°F that must be nice :wubsigh: the coldest here was a momentary dip to 31°F but that's like just afores :sun: rise :sigh: I want to setup some misters and make snow and see if boiling water freezes better and :check: the resulting snow :cloud: temp with my IR camera :happydance: BUT we don't does cold here :sigh:
The jet stream is still doing unusual moovements so perchance there's still time for an arctic dip :om:
Yeah the prayer plant is just following it's circadian rhythm the motion is called nyctinasty and while light is atleast part of it prayer plants are prolly more temperature regulated. The reason they close is to avoid their leaves staying wet at night from dew condensing, which suggest a more temperature dependent motion. Other plants moove to maximize light or like sunflfowers to optimize warmth and :bee: attractivityness :yes:
But yeah weird that it decided to grow now ... unless maybe yer room is unusually warm for this time :dunno: perchance ... yer right and early sprang :gstars:
Yup Son of Omicron is more contagious though I thunked it was just 120% BUT yup the update says 50% above and beyond Delta l :faint: that puts it squarely in the as contagious as measles category if not more so ... which is freaken skeery :uhoh: doog thang it's not measles or covid original flavour :sofa:
Also now that BA2 is in the US there's gonna be a slight uptick in numbers ... agin :no: but on the plus side while vaccines are :egg: tremely effective natural immunity {previous covid infection } appears to be roughly twice as doog AND longer lasting so basically Omicron is gonna be a whole :earth: vaccination ... so :woohoo: for eberyone who survives :whistle:
I don't thinxz they need a union just for better treatment, they just need someone with a camera getting a recording and a doog lawyer. After a couple of lawsuits most companies make the necessary cha cha changes :yes: Especially iffen there's news coverage and some socia; media discussions :oz:

Just B & I ran into Paris Walmart yesterday & there were about 5% masked peoples. :gaah: Not counting employess who mostly had theirs under their nose or chin. :sigh: Thankfully it was not busy & we just :run: in & :nur: out! J ack i gladly stayed home.
Zen Aunt's son has covid. :sigh: He also has diabetes, & smokes & drinks daily. :sigh: She is very very worried about him.
Fortunately, she still has medical & pharmaceutical connections & good advice to hopefully keep him out of the hopsickle.
Also my neighbor, Marilyn was pretty sick & she's had 3 vaccines. And her son. And ZA was told to stay OUT of the local clinic cue to the high amount of virus in the air there. :yes: B went to a boj interview the other day & the interviewer said that pretty much everyone there had been sick. :yes:
AND...Tanasi is #1 now in deaths per capita. :huh: :cheer: :nonono: :sigh: :candle:
:crazyeyes:
So so thankful to be living where I am. :asiel: :farmninja:

Our local weather or not peoples are sayin' we will be spared. It isn't gonna come in enough to reach us. We shall see. We been havin' lake effect stuff all day, and it was mighty slippery out. We are under a wind advisory, and the temps are gonna go south as in Antarctica. :sigh:
Chloe :cat: for some reason kept complaining about going out. So after not getting anywhere with reason, I opened the door. She got about 2 feet onto the porch. Looked at me as if she hated to admit I was right :drama: and then came right back in. She is now where she has been for the last 3 wks- on my bed. Poor thing has cabin feber.
Stealth :blob: is gonna do a little dancin' on our :butt: for about a month I think. The daily raw numbers I check are through the roof.
Yesterday the USA clocked with 497,351 new cases. On Jan 27 2021 the reported new cases were a little over 158,000. 45 states reported 1K plus, and of those 19 states reported 10K plus. But the daily death rate is definitely down.

The case numbers are so hard to track now :gaah: cuz several states besides Tanasi have shifted to weekly reporting. :stars:
I understand Chloe's cabin fever. :wub: I don't need to go anywhere other than outside. :spring:
And my cats are just as funny bout it all. I have 2 that could easily live in high-rise apartments...2 that have to be outside & brave all kinds of weather to get out to the shop or at least hang on the porch for awhile. What's that leave? Oh yeah...the 3 grey tabbies. :yes: Funny how similar color/breeds are similar personalities. The tabbies are easy-going... love to soak up the sun when it's nice enough but also quite content to lie in front of the space heater or on the bed.
Oh & the 2 who need the outdoors... they are the one-eyed cats. :om:
One ancient yellow :cat: , Sweets and one siamese grey tuxedo who is Swami. :kitty:
The Princess (Sweets) is in my lap right now tho. She grabs a lap soon as B or I sit down for a second. :chuckle:
She is 15 years old. :shera: Seemingly totally deaf now. Quite frail but tough as nails. I feed her kitten doof to try & keep weight on her. :chuckle:

:eek: yeah diabetes {presumably type 2 resulting from obesity} is the number one comorbidity leading to death. Dr.John Campbell had the numbers up yesterday on his discussion ... youtube link (https://youtu.be/xMLZepCMFQo).
Be sure Zen Aunt's son is taking a lot of vit.D and Zinc supplement and the Zinc needs to be solo with nuthin else :nono: Most multi vitamins with Zinc only have Zinc for marketing porpoises. Zinc binds with Calcium, Magnesium and Copper ... I recommend pure Zinc Gluconate :yes:
Other than high doses of vit.D and Zinc there's not too much else to be done other than supplemental oxygen. Hopsickles are basically out of monoclonal antibodies for omicron, and essentially PAXLOVID is the only thang that effectively works but should really be started within the first couple of days.
500k new cases per day is :brain: boggling :faint: fortunately the number of hopsikilizations is far less than covid original flavour but still ... the poor hopsickle staff ... there's ~30% burn out of nurses and doctors :uhoh: If anyone wants to become a nurse now is the time to register :yes: :egg: pedited courses, higher pay AND you should just nicely miss the pandemic :thumbs:

So... :b: had another 'episode' yesterday afternoon/evening. With no seeming trigger.
We had done a light workout earlier in the day...a 20 minute online with weights. He went light & easy cuz he has not as of yet been doing any real exercising. :sigh:
Anyway...about 5PM he was in his chair & I got up to start the stir fry. He came into the dinging room & said he wasn't well.
He had SUDDENLY felt pressure & pain in his chest & his heart was racing. His BP was in the 190/100 range & he asked for a baby aspirin immediately. The BP came down to non-scary levels (140/90ish) almost immediately but the heart rate stayed up.
It was around 140 bpm. He tried everything on the internet. :chuckle: It took 2 full hours before his heart rate finally came down to 80ish & by that time the BP was 105/70. Then we ate & it was another hour before the pulse was his lamron 56 bpm.
Question??? Would nitroglycerin stop that?
He is convinced that it was a heart attack. He is convinced that he's had several already. Even though they do not show the typical signs.
Second question?? Could the light weight lifting 3 hours before have triggered it? :huh:
It's disconcerting, to say the least. And the ER thingy... most people would have gone but we both know it's the best way to catch covid right now, plus it's 25 minutes away & they won't do anything there anyway unless you are hasing an active heart attack & then they stabilize & ship you off to Nashville. :sigh:

That's a tough one to answer. Light exercise generally is a good thing, but with B's history it could go the opposite way. If he suspects he had a heart attack, the best way to know is to have blood work done. He would need to check his Tropinin levels. He ought to do that sooner than later. Nitro will treat angina; dilating the coronary arteries so that the blood flow and oxygen will reach the heart muscle. If B is actually experiencing angina and I tend to think he is, it could be beneficial.
Thing is, covid or no covid this needs a physician's hands; preferably a cardiologist and B shouldn't wait.
Just my opinion...please don't wait to get this looked at. :hug:

I noes this one :yes: and by "noes" I mean I am completely unqualified to diagnose a condition but I noes ffuts anywayz 8)
:slap: NO not a :heart: attack :nono: Angina :yes: considering his results from cathlab his :heart: is healthy 'cept for two points one is growding no vessels :flex: the other is hovering :horror: So basically high risk for angina and much lower risk of an actual :heart: attack BUT one would likely be far more traumatic iffen it happened :whistle: So don't happen it :buttkick:
Here's an old OLD paper ... ya don't need to read it I'll just highlight the important bits ...
Here's the thang muskles need oxygen and while being active a certain amount of oxygen needz to be delivered the actual quantity needed by the musklez may not be fully :egg: pressed until some later point often hours later ... though two hours seems to be a common time where blood oxygen dips for the less active :yes:
My guess is he used some bigger musklez that haven't been used for a while then went and sat down, at which point the musklez said feed us NOW, which dropped his blood oxygen level just enough to freak out his :heart: Essentially generating the kind of stress situation he had at the previous boj. This however would take longer to recover from since his muskles were pulling oxygen from the blood :therethere:
Until he gets a regular :egg: ercise routine down try to make sure he doesn't slump into a chair :secret: that's a poor breathing posture and an hour or two after :egg: ercise maybe practice some pranayama breathing or The Wim Hof Method minus the ice baths :shiver: Oh and no post :egg: sercise tipple :buttkick:
K so here's the thang nitro would almost certainly have helped after he started panicking BUT it also has a lot of side effects 'cuz it's a potent vasodilator and there are reasons you don't want eberythang running wide open. An alternative would be oral nitric oxide supplements, and along with beet root powder I like the L-Citrulline and L-Arginine variety.
Beet roots is fine iffen ya likes the flavour of durt :yucky: BUT too much and you run the risk of developing kidney stones on account of too much oxalic acid. For the quickest nitric oxide :bump: go with just L-Arginine. L-Citrulline is formed when L-Arginine generates Nitric Oxide but there's also a mechanism to convert it back so for longer lasting amounts both or all 3 :yucky:
Any idea of pulseox during or afores the event? If there were a slow rise in pulse while the oxygen level dropped or just a slow drop in oxygen that would be useful info :angel:

QuoteMuscle blood flow and oxygen uptake in recovery from exercise (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9578376/)
Abstract
The metabolic and muscle blood flow response in recovery from exercise is dependent on the type and the duration of the exercise. Immediately after both intense static and dynamical exercise blood flow to the exercised muscles increases suggesting that blood flow is mechanically hindered by muscle contraction. After the initial rise (seconds) muscle blood flow decreases at a moderate rate and the time to reach resting flow levels varies from seconds to more than 30 min. It is unclear as to what causes the elevated blood flow during recovery. A mismatch between the time course of changes in blood flow and oxygen uptake suggests that the blood flow is not directly regulated by the need of oxygen in the exercised muscles. The hyperaemic response may be linked to locally released factors, such as ions and metabolites. However, the signal by which the blood flow is elevated remains unknown. After exercise both pulmonary and muscle oxygen uptake decrease rapidly, but can remain above resting levels for several hours. Resynthesis of substrates such as CP, ATP and glycogen cannot account for the entire excessive post-exercise oxygen uptake (EPOC) in the exercised muscles and the cause of the elevated muscle oxygen uptake in recovery from exercise remains to be assessed.

Just my opinion...please don't wait to get this looked at. :hug:
I don't think you were around at the time but this is the same type of episode that sent him to the cardiologist in the first place.
It also sent him to the ER...twice. And to a provider. All 4 times his EKG was normal. All 4 times bloodwork (& xrays twice) said :nonono: heart attack. GERD, they said. "Anomoly", "stress", "anxiety", etc.
The cardiologist didn't think it a big deal but ordered a stress test 'just to be safe'. And then the cardiologist admitted he was shocked that he failed so badly. So he ordered the heart cath but still expected to find nothing. :sigh: He again admitted his surprise at finding a 100% blocked artery as well as a 30-40% blocked one.
He (cardiologist) said he has NO limits whatsoever & he advised him getting his heartrate to 120-130 for 30 minutes 3x a week.
B has not as of yet been able to do that. On the exerbike he hits maybe 105, feels chest pressure & then stops.
He will call on Monday.
Oh & yeah it's definitely angina & the doc said he will likely feel that for 'some time'. I asked about nitro then & he said "He doesn't need it.". :huh: But all along he's been a very atypical heart patient with atypical symptoms.
Oh & he's fine today. :wiggle: It had been 3 months since he's had a tachycardia episode. He had a hypertensive crisis at work in December but his heart rate never sped up then.
:nickel: :nickel: :nickel: :nickel: :nickel:
Siguie... :hugs: :thanks:
Why doesn't his doctor seem to unnerstanz this ffuts like you does? :sigh:
It makes perfect sense.
And yes, we both has sore muskels today. :chuckle: We both pathetically out of shape. :flex:
And no, he did not use the pulseox beforehand tho during exercise he did & he got up to 120 which he thunk good cuz he's had a hard time getting it to the numbers the doctor recommended.

K the Win Hof Method was recommended to him by our bil 2 years ago when he first had hypertensive issues.
He never did it. :sigh: But now that it's come up a second time it is significant. :sparkle:
I also has beet root powder that you recommended as well as some Twinings heart health tea with beetroot & other ffutses. :shera:
Would a protein powder with lotsa aminos help post workout?
He agrees & now says his :heart: was not attacking it was just freaking out.
He was not freaking out tho. He was quite relaxed. And not worried cuz the BP went down so quickly.
Just perplexed as to why his heart would not slow down.

Um yeah, personally I would NOT bother calling in :nono: I'm not saying DON'T :nonono: just that I wouldn't ... yer results may vary :whistle: so does what you think is right :yes:
Unless they missed sumthin there's not much more to does :nono: Since it's rather likely :egg: sercise related and not a SUDDEN deterioration of his condition ... that and this angina thang is or should have been what the doctor said to :egg: pect.
His B-brand bypass is not finished developing, that "angina" pain is part of what tellz the :heart: it needs to finish up :angel:
Srsly he should :egg: sercise to the point of difficulty or rather just a little prior to that "feeling" he's gonna die. His :heart: muscle and rhythm are fine. That said iffen his muskles are sore :slap: that's too muches :egg: ercise and/or he's really out of shape :therethere:
Which is prolly the crux of the problem :yes: Keep in mind he failed his stress test because his :heart: called it quits before his muskles did. In general the :heart: should be able to goes farther than all of the muskles combined.
My guess is he's a little out of shape, after the boj quitting ordeal and pushing too hard after a long break. That weird dip in blood oxygen is more common for less than active people. Athletes tend to register a drop immediately after :egg: ercise and then :bump: back up almost immediately.
That 120 - 130 bpm was just a recommendation based on what's normal. FYI normal is 220 - age for a max :egg: sercise :heart: rate. BUT the kicker is some people ... like my dad who also has a slooow :heart: rate cannot hit 130bpm and his :heart: is :egg: tremely healthy :yes:
The numbers are guidelines not must hit targets :buttkick: Instead keep track of time and distance of :egg: sercise and note the highest :heart: rate AND perchance his cool down period as well.

Srsly it all comes down to O2 ... when he has enough no angina. How he gits enough is agin up to him, nitroglycerin would does it BUT yeah it's not a free :bump: and should only be used in :egg: treme cases ... 'cuz side effects :suck:

I doubt either of us in innerested in becoming an Iceman like him. :scared:
Thanks, again. :righton: He's beginning to get restlos so it's time for :magic: to happen job-wise.
He's got things in the ethers... a couple phone interviews & 1 in-person interview that may lead to ideal situations :sparkle:
Astrologically speaking, it's just about time for forward movement .
Oh & astrologically speaking it's nearly Jacki's year! She's a Tiger! :rawr: So is Zen Aunt. :yes:

Yeah ok so here's the thang ... Wim Hof, pranayama, Recovery Breathing from a free dive ... it don't really matter :nono: the point really is just to git more Oxygen after :egg: sercise :yes:
With pHyzical activity his :heart: issues is only a thang when "somethang" needs more oxygen, and muskelz can insist on getting oxygen at a later point, which appears to be able to trigger events. Just git more oxygen before events happen :slap: ... pick sumthin and stick with it :buttkick:
The main reason for deep breathing is THAT is what will help during an event :yes: Espeeshully because anginaing makes it harder to breath ... so it's doog to does it afores :oz:
FYI: there's some variation by person and age but in general hoomanz can git 30% more oxygen into their blood than what those monitors consider 100% :angel:

Yup, we gots the :shiver: . It moves in Wednesday night, and Thurs-Fri will be mostly burrito mode in my neck of the woods. :sigh:
But for now its a balmy 25F with temps going as high as 40F today. Errands to be run and supplies to be gotten for the 2 days of hunkering down. Snow on top of snow this is. The other stuff never got melted off. It's gonna be a miserable thaw. The run off is gonna be strong.
NY numbers are way down, and overall there has been a significant drop. :thumbs:
Now, if Punxsutawney Phil gives as good news, it's looking like a great spring. :rainbow:

Punk-a-tawny Phil has no say so in MY :spring: arrival. :buttkick: :bsl:
OMG, I knew I was a :fullmoon: and Solstice baby but I never read this before:
BORN ON A FULL MOON
The Full Moon is well known for driving people to lunacy, aggression, and in extreme cases, even lycanthropy. While it is unlikely that being born under a Full Moon will literally turn you into a werewolf, it is true that the Moon is intimately tied to a person's emotions - and may have more control over you than you think.
FULL MOON IN CANCER
December 22, 1961
When a Full Moon occurs, the Moon is located directly opposite the Sun. That means that your Sun Sign, which controls the mind, and your Moon Sign, which controls the heart, are in conflict with each other. As a person who is born under the influence of the Full Moon, your life tends to be driven by internal struggles between what you know is logical, and what your heart truly wants. Worse, you might have a multitude of different desires, pulling you in all sorts of different directions. This is the reason why you may come off as inconsistent or indecisive to others.
And finally I understand more of why I never ever felt like a Capricorn. :nonono:
I thunk it was just the cusp thang but :nonono: ...likely not. :crazyeyes:
Thanks, Pandora. :righton:

I just read a Washington Post article advising the administration to call the pandemic done. :check:
To drop all restrictions & esplain to people what endemic means & what the everyday risks are.
As for statins...he's been intending to take his every other day but seems to forget an awful lot. :chuckle:
So he takes one basically now & then... :dunno: In his defense every other day is hard to does unless one marks it on a calendar or some such. :wiggle:
Spoo. The valve company :chuckle: called & wants him to start this Monday instead of next. :wiggle: :wiggle:
Seems he passed the background check :rofl: and drug screen. :yes: They required the most complete physical he's ever had for a boj. Vision, hearing, pulmonary function...blood lead level :huh: The drug screen was quite comprehensive too, screening for several things we've never even heard of. :huh:
For reals...they makes pressure valves for railroad tankers. And replacement pieces & parts for the same.

It's :bean: an unusually looong week 3 or 4 :egg: tra Thursdazes easily :no:
Well the pandemic IS "done" for most but there are gonna be flare ups in unvaccinated groups and hopsikilz and nursing homes need eberyon vaccinated to keep the patients safe and that's not gonna change for another year or quite possibly longer :uhoh: Otherwise yeah it's basically done in the US :yes:
Personally I'm 92%+ sure dad and I have been :egg: posed and :buttkick: ed covid 'cuz :superman: like immunities :flex: ...

Anywho I'm not sure but I think the olympic covid games start tonight :scratch: it might be next week :dunno: but iffen it's tonight I might do a VR dive into the opening ceremonies :matt:

Yes, opening ceremonies were last night. :yes: Hope you caught it. :pie:
J ack i has never gotten a flu shot cuz she's just not been out. We kept meaning to, but it just hasn't happened.
You think it's too late? Or still advisable?
I am 93.8% :p certain we all had the covid (The covid is what it's known as here...like "the sinus" :rofl: ) when B went to that jam-packed Fast Pace for drug testing for Dana. Back in late Spetember I thinks. typo stays cuz I likes the way it looks. :rofl:
That woulda been Delta variety. We were headed to Ikea & Jacki woke up with a snotty head & fever...so obliviously we didn't go...& it went away as fast as it came. :cheer: B & I had slight runny noseses...no fevers.
But what about people who test positive multiple times? I read of one girl (nurse) who has had it 4 times...and she's 3-shotted. :huh: Are people like her simply anomalies? Or does that disprove 'herd immunity'?
:horn: ENERGIES!!!! Yesterday was super intense. :wtf: :sparkle: :wtf: I felt like I could esplode :boom: ...physically, not emotionally or mentally. :nonono:
And related, but not the same :rofl: , I am fairly certain that nightshades (at least tomatoes) DO affect me cuz I was craving tomato-ey somethins after over a year of abstinence. SO last week I made veggie lasagna...and then followed it with vegan chili (and a separate, little bitta :cow: for the artery-grower :p ) . So anyway...I ate a LOT of tomato based ffutses over the past 5-6 days. :faint: And my entire body was stiff & puffy & flat-out inflamed. :wtf: Yoga helped some...lotsa water & tea helped as well as mega lettuces & celery & ffutses & now I feel back to lamron. :yes:
So I thinks that maybe a little :tomato: is ok...a LOT is not. :dunno:
It's quite confusing. :crazyeyes:
Though the psoriasis is still improving (no stress + increased daylight :yes: ) AND the vitamin C serum seems to work as well! :clap:

Nope missed opening ceremonies, dad needed help untangling and moobing plants from the grow tent outside-ish. I thinxz he's gonna need a bigger boat tent :fin: :hmm2: He cleverly tiered plants into 3 levelz ... only they out smated him and wove themselves together :gaah: it took foreber to git the plants from one BIG one into wee individual plants ... but it was ok 'cuz I brought Chinese takeout :wiggle:
I always git the flu shot 'cuz even iffen they guess wrong yer body still gits it's immune system warmed up AND I beleeb in ALL of the reasons for hasing it. That said prolly not much point now BUT it's yer call ... I'd :check: the local flu activity in yer area then make a judgement call :angel:
The thang is it's kinda in that gray zone where we are just flu-season "peaking" and are prolly on the way down 'cuz sprang and the whole thing ends in March ... though particularly bad flu seasons can last through May. So git a flu shot (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) wait 2 weeks for immunity to build and enjoy 3 to 4 weeks of protection ... seems kinda lame. However, you are in the stoopid belt, with safety requirements being dropped iffen someplace was gonna git hit hard by SUDDEN flu it's you peoplez :whistle: Srsly though that's kindofa concern ... no one noes what's gonna happen non-covid flu-wise ... the regular viruses 'may' peter out :bye: OR come roaring back :horror: ... no one noes ... :share:
Yeah I'm purty sure you all had covid too :yes: Even though you kept testing negative :woe:
Group mass testing is the stoopdiest idea :gaah: ... atleast does it via drive thru but even then those people swabbing neber change their gloves or disinfect between swabs :woe:

Anywho the major variants responsible for each wave did/do not convey total immunity against each other :nono: however the immune :bump: given by each is enough to prevent hopsikilization and death in the vast majority.
The problem is that covid any flavour reproduces soooo rapidly that you can test positive AND spread the disease even while completely immune yourself {as in zero symptoms}. Your body needs time to fight off each infection, and antibodies {the first line of defense} really only work in the blood stream, and covid initially infects places like lungs, throat and nasal tissue. The air moving over these areas can spread the virus quite easily ... think of it like a dandelion sprouting on a GMO flog course just after being covered with glyphosate. :matt: It happens :yes: the flog course is unlikely to be covered in dandelions but the :windy: could carry it to other places :angel:
Anywho, considering the rapidity of replication and the numerous variants it's not UN :egg: pected to see multiple infection cases :nono: what one should look for is how many times a person was hopsikilized for the covid.

'Just kidding... it's way past time.' :wedgie:
:bsl:
I do not noes the answer to that question. I just asked & he said "it seems to work". :chuckle:
Nice of you to untangle Dad's plants yesterday. :rofl: I was wanting Chinese takeout yesterday too, but didn't wanna go out to get it. :laugh: And no...no delivery here. :pie:
So yeah, immunology is quite confusing to the newbies. :crazyeyes: And it doesn't help that the messengers mix up the messages as well. But thanks for trying to straighten me out anyway. :wiggle:
So...yesterday about 6PM...almost exactly one week from the previous occurense... :b: had another 'episode'. :(
This time he'd done nothing. NO workout, no nothing except watching a bassetbawl game. And...he had about 5 oz of :wine:
He, too, had been putzing around with potted plants most of the day. :wiggle:
He felt it immediately. Pressure in his chest, BP around 190/90, & pulse racing around 130bpm.
Again, he ate a baby aspirin but this time the BP did not come down, so half hour later he ate a growed up aspirin. :yes:
I made him tea with beetroot (The Twinings, with an extra dollop of powder).
After 45 minutes or so the BP came down...but it went back up some time later :huh: Again, he felt the pressure of rising BP in his head & neck. :huh:
After about 2 hours the BP stabilblized but when we went to bed 4 hours later his heart rate was still about 105. :sigh:
And that was after the beetroot tea, and a cup of camomile/lavender tea...and the rest of his dinner that he'd had 2 bites of when the episode began.
So he took the last 5mg generic valium left from when my thryroid went :boom: and he slept. :zzz:
This morning his BP was 109/80 & his pulse was 82 which is still quite higher than his usual. :huh:
Also...I was listening to his :heart: in bed last night with my head on his chest. It was not steady. It would beat real fast for 10-20 beats, then slow down for a few, then speed up, slow down. Never slowing to 'normal'. Sometimes seeming to skip a beat. Just a weirdly irregular rhythm. :huh:
I remember my Uncle Byron hasing to go to the hopsickle to have his "timing reset" numerous times.
He'd say, "I just got out of timing" as if it was no big deal. :laugh: He had :heart: issues for many many years...He was also the typical :heart: patient....obese, diabetic, inactive.
And yeah, I needs that stethescope. :sigh:
Oh... & he starts work tomorrow. :wig: :gle: Which also means insurance again. :chuckle: We've just been without since 2/1.

And finally...at 12:30 (after a delicious greek yogurt caeser salad with tuna :chuckle: ) his heart rate & BP returned to normal.
:happydance:
He's been crashed in his chair ever since. Exhausted from 18 hours of wicked arrhythmia & tacky :heart:
Seriously...iffin I had a way to write notes on here I could replicate the funky cadence of his heart.
It was, bombombombombombombombombom...bom....bom....bom....bombombombombom...bom.........bombom.....bom
And on & on but not in a repetitive rhythm either. :nonono:
His BP got skeery low before it 'reset' tho. Like 80/40 low :eek:
:crazy: Seems we've added aFib to the CAD after all. :sigh:
Figure it's just something now that he (we) gotta learn to manage like so many millions of peoples.
Tho y'all knows me...I always believe that total healing is possible. :sparkle:

:doh:
Um since when does aspirin lower blood pressure? It's generally more about blood thinning {lower platelets} and preventing potential clots and strokes.
The beetroot "tea" should have lowered the bp after an hour or so but :heart: rate wouldn't be effected necessarily.
Also why is he drinking alcohol? This happened the last time he drank too. Didin't I mention alcohol messes up the :heart: s timming circuits?
Alcohol and atrial fibrillation (https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/alcohol-and-atrial-fibrillation)
Anywho like mentioned afores yeah alcohol can mess up the :heart: even one drink up to 4h later so wait until the bypass is finished :buttkick:
Take a look at Portable ECG on Amazon (https://amzn.to/337hUvu) <= My Associates Link After coupons/deals etc. they should be $70 to $75 and I would go with a horizontal model vs the vertical. They are ALL basically the same but you want one that is usable even without the App. After that check the app rating for your devices to make sure they work and are not constantly rebooting.
One advantage here is that they are small and will provide actual ecg/ekg information Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography) ... the E in ECG or EKG is for :electrocute: so it's not just pulse rate it's the tiny electrical signals that the heart generates.
The thang is B prolly always had some type of arrhythmia during events, and no doubt his heart timing has been measured during cathlab BUT with an actual ECG during an event the cardio doc might see something else and if nuthin else alcohol has a known effect on the P-wave and QTc ... first part afores the big blip :heart:
Don't buy one BUT take a look through them, see what they can do and look iffen it's sumthin that might prove useful :yes:
Also any chance you got an SPO2 reading during the action?
Lastly was he able to take deep breathes or was it mostly shallow upper lung breathing?
Iffen his boj begins tomorrow I suspect he's slightly nervous AND shouldn't be drinking :slap:

:rofl: You so funny. He's not the least bit nervous This ain't his first rodeo & once more I say he's not at all the nervous type. :nonono:
And he's had many a drink with no issues whatsoever. He is seriously a one-drink drinker though... 3-5 nights a week.
And as I said earlier the incidence a week ago was with NO alcohol whatsoever.
I honestly don't know if he's had arrhythmia before but last week was the first speedy heart since before the cath which was on 11/23.
He is perfectly fine now. :huh: BP 113/68 62 BPM
And in the lab his heart rate was "exceptionally steady" at around 48. Amember, the low heart rate is why no beta blocker.
The most remarkable thing about his episode was the duration. :crazyeyes:
I looked at the portable ecg thingies & they are interesting. I really dunno if it would help or not.
Like you, I feel that oxygen would help most cuz it really seems his heart was spazzing out trying to get more oxygen.
And yes, he was around 90-92% throughout.
And yes, he could breathe deeply.
But when that BP shot up he felt it in his head unlike ever before. The thought crossed my mind that maybe a :brain: artery is clogged as well?
Anyway...6-2:30. :cheer: He is excited. :yes:
He'll be home by 2:45. :faint: :farmninja:

It's a beautiful day! :spring: :bliss:
:b: got up easily at 4 & merrily out the door. :wiggle:
I axed him if he was nervous about the possibility of hasing an 'episode' while at work & he said, "Not the the least. It won't happen". I says, "Yako. Make it so.".
It will be therapeutic for him. He went from resting to 'over-resting' & needed something to get him moving again. :sparkle:
He also gained 20 pounds (he gains & loses quite easily...puts on muscle just as easily still :huh: ) from inactivity.
In his defense tho, when he's active it's nearly impossible to get enough calories in him.
So when he stops moving he continues to eat as he was in the habit of doing. :no:
I believe the extra weight combined with inactivity is what triggered the 2 recent tachycardic episodes. :yes:
Cuz working 84 hours a week did not trigger anything other than exhaustion (& the one hypertensive night at work was stress from a specific issue...a specific operator).
So he/we shall learn to live with what he gots to live with. Just as J ack i lives with the limiting conditions of her body & I continue to work to outwit my body. :chuckle:
Eeerbody got somethin. :wiggle: This is his thing. :yes: He just never seemed like he was gonna has a 'thing'. :rofl:
Dang AI program borked. :woe: J ack i was born with a thing. I got my first thing in February of 1984 (tho it really began coming on in 1982/83).
Sweet short :book:
One time back in 1990ish I was working at an upscale riverside restaurant as a waitress.
Well one afternoon I just felt so bad I thunk I could not move. I pushed myself & slogged through many many nights.
I was in my black skirt & white shirt, lying on the floor, crying. :cry:
B called my manager...told him that I had this 'connective tissue disorder' & that I hadn't told anyone.
Craig says, "Tell her to rest. Everybody's got something. It's ok." :wub: :luvcry:
Come to find out later his 'something' was cocaine addiction. :sigh:
Gosh I hope he's well today. :vibes:
And as I ramble on (then gotta get ready to go to the grocery store) ... :bsl: I read recently that we are connected forever to significant peoples in our lives, whether we physically stay in touch or not. And when we do better, they do better. And vice versa.
I believes that. :righton:
Which is why I finally understood that quitting smoking was about addiction...for the whole...more than it was about cigarettes themselves. :yes:
:hearts:
Love youse.
Has a great day! :earthheart:

Gosh I hope he's well today. :vibes:
And as I ramble on (then gotta get ready to go to the grocery store) ... :bsl: I read recently that we are connected forever to significant peoples in our lives, whether we physically stay in touch or not. And when we do better, they do better. And vice versa.
I believes that. :righton:
Which is why I finally understood that quitting smoking was about addiction...for the whole...more than it was about cigarettes themselves. :yes:
:hearts:
Love youse.
Has a great day! :earthheart:

Yeah, there was no fibromyalgia back then. :chuckle:
Well...the chest pressure & BP spike was first along with the SUDDEN arrhythymia. And yes, I noes what brady :heart: & tacky: :heart: is. :roll: :duh:
And yes, we both knew the :heart: was hollering/panicking for more oxygen.
And yes, he was deep breathing...drinking water...using ice...doing whatever he could to help increase the oxygen.
He got up, walked around, watched bassetbawl some more, finished dinner... It went on for 18 hours & once the BP eased he was 'fine', except he wasn't. :chuckle: But when it SUDDENLY stopped he was truly fine, except exhausted & slept soundly for about 2 hours. :faint:
And yes, we noes it says "call doctor" but there was nothing to does except go to ER where they charge 10 grand to walk in the door, keep you for hours, then say "call your cardiologist". :sigh: He's been there now 3 times since early 2020. We knows the routine. :sigh: And his oxygen level woulda inevitably gone up during the ride there. :yes: :murphyslaw:
Becuz it was the weekend & you get an answering service who refers to a nurse who calls you back & then says 'go to local ER'.
So it's a circle of passing thebuck patient.
His oxygen level has dropped during every episode. Amember? You advised asking the doc about supplemental oxygen which we did & he said, :nonono: 'he doesn't need it'. :yes:
Maybe now that he will have time to actually sees a provider, somebody local will prescribe an oxygen concentrator. :yes:
And as for my hypothesis...
Remember? :pie: You determined that he has 'backwards' angina (Kaerf! :rofl: ) whereas his episodes tend to occur after sitting for extended periods rather than after exertion. So sitting...combined with general out-of-shapedness... :p
He never had one single tachycardia or arrhythmic episode whilst he was duly exhausted when working at Dana. :check:
He never sat down for any length of time. Work/standing.walking or sleep. That was it. His 'desk' was a standing station on the factry floor. 'Sitting supervisors are lazy supervisors'...Chinese philosophy. :sigh:
Oh but get this!!!
His new boj title is "Receiving Clerk" :rofl: He said he's worked pretty much every factry department except shipping/receiving. :woe:
And he gotted a new desk and a new chair. :sparkle: And is getting a new computer.
Becuz it is a brand new position created due to expansion and after having interviewed him.
And...he knew 2 peoples from Euro (the place that SUDDENLY downsized him in 2020)...one of them he had personally hired. :laugh: They both said he was lucky to be out of there as it had continued to get much worse & they both said how awesome this widdle factry is. :cheer:

NO! I does not read or write :drama: AND you always bury the important ffuts or fergets to include it in the memo :buttkick:
Srsly though iffen ya noes it's a low SpO2 isssue why do you go on about blood pressure and pulse rate. The last two are a response to the first.

NO! No I didn't :gaah: I "suggested " the possibility that his normal :heart: rate may be inadequate at times due to under construction bypass ... that is all :gaah:

Anywho for :b: the trick is not so much avoiding the angina :nono: it's avoiding the sequence of thangs that make it spiral out of control.
The doc is right B shouldn't need supplemental oxygen :nono: however it sure is nice to has :yes: :bliss:
FYI: Even iffen you had an oxygen concentrator, the events would still occur they'ed just end a :wheee: bit sooner :oz: AND depending on the state of thangs supplemental oxygen "can" make thangs worserer.
Regardless, you both should read up on angina ... AND afores the chest pressure there is likely a :heart: rate increase ... this may or may not be identifiable afores BUT iffen it were a pulse measuring smatewatch perhaps :dunno:
Anywho the :donut: of patient passing is pretty typical :yes: The idea is that eberyone should has a primary care doctor that takes care of the simple oblivious thangs, for eberythang else he sends you to a speeshulist.

AND...we has :carp: y PCPs. :woe: Mostly RNs. A couple PAs.
AND...they are pushing 'healthcare' more & more to the pharmacy level, which might not be so bad.
Pharmacists are on the verge of being able to write prescriptions...then fill them. They already give vaccinations & B12 shots & check covid antibodies. :yes: It's the next step in the progression. (According to a pharmacist friend who owns half dozen pharmacies :chuckle: )
But really...we thunk the low sat level was due to the BP spike. I mean... it makes sense. Doesn't it? :ashamed:
The BP spike is the constant sporadic event. :check: And with the BP spke comes pressure in the chest...of varying degrees.
The tachycardia (I prefer tacky :p) has been more infrequent & accompanied by the low oxygen levels. :check:
I does not know iffin there was arrhythmia before or not. :check:
That's the facts, Jack. :p
And :michafire: ... :thanks: :happydance:
Yesterday when he came home...as always he yells, "Honey, I'm home!!" in a joking manner.
I mockingly ask, "How was your day, Dear?"
But yesterday for the first time he answers, "AWESOME!!!!!" :hysterical:
He went on to say he sure hoped it wasn't just a honeymoon stage, but that everyone had been so nice, so helpful, so welcoming...
And he says the place overall is totally "chill". :clap:
Good place to be in worldly times that are not so chill.
And then he changed & we "Walked the estate" . Something we've done since we lived on a postage stamp lot in Ohio. :chuckle:
And we look at all the ffutses everywhere & talk about what wants to be moved where & what needs to be done first & so on.
Anyway...as we walked seeing all the new growth pop up everywhere it SUDDENLY hit me that we are back! :luvcry:
I was overcome :luvcry: in knowing that we can be back at doing what we love to do while simultaneously having a 'real boj' with medical insurance & the likes. :clap:
We gots big plans. :wig: :gle: Besides continuing the beautification of the property we wants to continue to divide & pot houseplants (we have nearly 100 now :faint: ) and perennials & shrubs/trees for eventual sale. :yes:
The vegetables are just for us. :happydance:
Speaking of...we had vegetable orgasms for dinner last night! :bsl:
Fried brown rice with peas/carrots/onion/green onion/egg.
Stir fry with onion, lotsa celery, carrot, red pepper, mushroom, bamboo shoots & water chestnuts.
It was the best I ever made! :happydance:

Happy to hear you & yours are springing into life as well, Pandora. :hugs: :spring:
Happy to see you here. :happydance:
And :sigster: I ain't googling what causes angina. From my :brain: Angina is heart pain due to lack of oxygen.
And yeah...when he sits, slouched in his recliner...he 'stops' breathing (properly, at least). :yes:
So we come full circle to me saying that inactivity coupled with the extra 20 pounds is the trigger for the recent 'events'.

I agree completely about the 'freedoms' & 'rights'. Youse noes I'm a live & let live kinda gal. :wiggle:
As for the breathing....yeah. I noes he breathes too shallow. And unconsciously. And I often try to get him to breathe more deeply.
That's one of the benefits of hasing early musical training. The breath was critical. I can still hear old band/choir directors repeating over & over "Breathe from the diaphragm" "I wanna see that belly move!". Breath...and posture. :yes:
B's fambily were slouchers. And when we first were dating they usta always fuss at me to "Relax...sit back...get comfortable."
I'd say, "I AM comfortable" & they'd reply, "You sure don't look comfortable.". :sigh:
Anyway...Jacki & I went to a charcuterie class ( :roll: :whatever: ) that Chloe & the Arts Council sponsored. I found it almost painful but J ack i really enjoyed it so that was all that mattered. :matt:
But soon as we left B had another episode. Not quite as severe & just 1 hour in duration. :sigh:
Makes me not wanna leave him ever again. :sigh:
He did not measure oxygen level cuz I noes he doesn't believe it's really a thing. :sigh:
But when we got home he looked & felt totally fine. :crazyeyes:
Mom says her BP often spikes in the evening when she's just sitting there doing nothing. :dunno:
Oh & he'd had NO alcohol whatsoever. :p Just my :broccoli: soup made with coconut milk, cheddar & parmesan. :drool:
And a big green salad. :arugula:

It's really quite strange still to feel almost sunburned...as if I'd been in the sun & wind all day...when I haven't been outside hardly at all. :oz:
And the sound... makes me feel tense & cranky :mrcrankypants: when there is nothing else irritating me at all. Especially at night when all is quiet.
Makes me think about oh so many peoples who are completely unaware & how they are being 'triggered' by the :sun: in often big ways. :eek:

My early muzikal training was violin ... breathing optional but recommended :oz:
Anywho the body is meant to remain in park mode purty much indefinitely as a means to conserve energy. Also sleep mode is even more energy conservitating :yes:
The low SpO2 is less likely due to an immediate "need" for oxygen as much as an overall slowly lowering oxygen level and the :heart: just SUDDENLY panicking when a certain point is hit.
My guess it's the myoglobin saturation/desaturation point :yes:
FYI: Myoglobin is oxygen storage vs hemoglobin which is for oxygen transport as well as carbon dioxide removal.
"Oh & he'd had NO alcohol whatsoever. :p Just my :broccoli: soup ..."
Wow durty ghurlz :broccoli: soup induces cardiac arrhythmia and or oxygen depletion like alcohol :check:
"He did not measure oxygen level cuz I noes he doesn't believe it's really a thing. :sigh: "
That's fine :yes: for the most part it shouldn't really be a thang :nono:
Low SpO2 "can" cause angina but angina doesn't necessarily mean low SpO2 :nono:
IFFEN you has low blood oxygen AND begin feeling angina that tellz you a very likely cause, however, iffen you has angina BUT SpO2 remains high that "could " indicate another reason for the :heart: not getting enough oxygen, like worsening blockages, vascular spasming or any number of constricting blood flow issues.
Anywho, he "should" git occasional angina pangs as his bypass gits built BUT as construction continues he should be able to does more 'n more until he reaches an activity level where his lungs give out affores his :heart:
Until then, yeah make him stop afores chest pain gits severe :naughty:
"Mom says her BP often spikes in the evening when she's just sitting there doing nothing. :dunno: "
That's not uncommon especially after a meal :nono: Blood Pressure and :heart: rate are automagical systems that have high and low end feedback controls and they harmonize well :harmony: :choir: with the Circadian Rhythm Band (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif)

80 degrees! :wubsigh:
Yeah... he's gonna be okay. :gheart:
He agrees that breathing & posture is important. :yes:
And he gotta find his way through... he's still processing the whole all of it. :crazyeyes:
And iffin he'll hurry up & get his boj situation fully settled....he'll (I'll!) be doing much better. :hysterical:
He loves his new boj...but...got called for an interview for the Quality Engineer position just down the road. :woe:
It's becuz a former Quality boss from Briggs & Stratton (they closed down in 2012) is the hirer & he really really liked that dude. :yes:
So he says he can't turn it down without at least hearing what they gots to offer. :sigh:
It's the scorpio curse, as well as the way of the Bs. :bee: If there was some way to just start with Plan B, his life would be much smoother. :rofl: But that's the snake energy of NA astrology. :yes: They move much better on rough terrain. :shera:
And those of us that love them just hafta hang on for the ride. :wheee: I reckon it's kinda like riding on the coattails of a Zanna. :wub: :bsl: Love & laughter

80°F :no: and humidity at 29% :frantic: we is hasing a southern offshore flow :frantic: Atleast the humidity is low enough that it don't feelz like a tropical heck :heat:
Solar curtains put away :check: Solar Power at FULL :check: AC on :check: :bliss: :check:
Yup it's his thing :yes: and he can werk it out :yes: though I still think you both would benefit from researching both of his conditions then making choices from that instead of following termed medical flowchart practices. For example his "angina" is not one of the 4 typical types :nono:
As for the boj situation ... it's always doog to has options :yes: but iffen he already accepted a position AND he likes it I'd prolly pass on the other boj interview. Iffen it was at a friends insistence I'd prolly does the lunch meet 'n greet thang and git a tour of the company THEN decide if I really want to does a full on interview :oz:

Anyways, we are going into 2 days of a :shiver:. I'm thinkin' its the last cold snap of the season. We start warming up on Tuesday.
The masks are off around here. I persist in wearing mine. It makes me look younger, :bsl:
I'm missing/thinking about folks today.
:michafire: How you holding up? What's your weather like there?
I miss seeing :tazz: popping in.
I miss Jenal, Zanna, Violet....It's one of those kinda days.
I have to stop listening to my 60's music playlist. I get too dang sentimental and nostalgic. :roll:

Apparently 1 today is that prolate spheroid game so I'm guessing our demasking mandate being the 15th is to prevent stooper spreading due to game day parties ... originally I thunked it was 'cuz of V-day ... but perchance both :dunno: Eberyone here is still masking though it's freaken HOT :gaah:
Though only 72°F unbearrable and not the 80°F type :no:
Covidity in the US is looking purty doog :yes: or atleast on track :thumbs: tanassi data is still questionable but it's looking more like real data now :yes: Their numbers are higher than KalipHorniyaz :woe: but atleast they are in the endgame pattern :angel:
Germania is prolly the bestest data overall ... most accurate tests and really doog testing coverage :thumbs: On that note they youse { :michafire: } are kinda just rounding the peak :therethere: Youse has BIG numbers but relative to Delta hopsikilizations are just slightly up with deaths way way down so atleast that part is doog :yes: It looks like you'll be where we is around April :oz:

Axshully, we had a big Valentine/SuperBowl party for just the 3 of us. :wubsigh:
I got up cooking. :wiggle:
And we had faux joes (with Kroger Emerge crumbles...Beyond-ish),
B had made real wings the night before.
BBQ & Buffalo soy curls
Healthy-er spinach artichoke dip
Homemade sauerkraut balls
Air fried breaded mushrooms
Veggie tray
Peanut butter cookies
and a coconut custard :pie:
Pandora, you ever try Butler soy curls? The vegan restaurant in Paris uses them a lot. Boy they are simple. And B really likes them.
I gotted a vegan chicken broth powder to make them taste like chicken, but they are doog with any seasonings.

He was awesome all weekend. :wiggle: Active, busy, energetic. No anigna (Kaerf angina cuz it ain't lamron :chuckle: )
I likes the drow anigna...it has a similar feels to the drow enigma.
Happy Valentine's Day, Loves! :sparkle: :hearts: :sparkle:

Isosorbide. 30 mg. :sigh:
:b: got off early cuz there was a water main break.
So he came to the Mexican restaurant for Valentine's lunch with us girls. :wiggle:
And then he had another 'episode'.
So he came home & called the doc & this is what he wants to try first. Then iffin it happens again after taking this he is to go in & they'll take whatever next step is necessary.
My gut says there IS a next step. This is that dream I had way back when with us on a roller coaster & flying up out of our seats on 2 giant hills. The LHC was the first hill. There is still one more hill to go.

Yeah :sigster: Germania seems much more put together than the USA to me. But then, I've always been in awe of Germania. They're so much more put together than we are. Efficient, organized...which we never are it seems...
Asiel, I kinda had a hunch anigna came from enigma, and that feels about right. But what was the thing :b: had to do when he called the Dr? And what will be the next step?
Bug had a weird dream last night. I was going to walk Finn for her, but she spotted a black panther laying in the spot where the fairy garden was and stopped me from going out with Finn. :huh: egnarts... I think there's something but I can't get a handle on it. :hmm2:
I've heard of soy curls, but I haven't tried them yet. We had BBQ tofu bites with roasted veggies for Sunday dinner. Doesn't sound like much, but it made quite a full plate. It was yummy. :thumbs:
Oh, and Louie, Louie is on my playlist. 8) Bug was in the kitchen while I was playing it. She started laughing and said "Mom, you're just a flower child at heart." So, there it is. I'm old. :bsl:

:doh:
On the plus side Isosorbide is a doog choice :yes: though I woulda gone with the nitric oxide enhancing supplements first.
Is this a slow-release daily prescription or an "if needed " immediate effect type 'cuz iffen it is only as needed that would be perfect :thumbs: as a daily thang it's gonna suck AND you absolutely cannot let him ferget :naughty:
Are the episodes becoming longer or more intense AND are they more frequent?
It's difficult to tell on this end but it sure seems like things started heading downhill AFTER cath lab :hmm:
Well I hopes you ghurlz atleast had a nice valentines day :thumbs:
Those "soy curls" look just like regular soy skin products just really really :egg: pensive :faint: Just google wurdz like tofu skin or soy sheets or even dried tofu. That :carp: should be durt cheap :yes:
By the way you can also make really doog soy sheet noodles :yes: The best part is after they soften just a little you can drop them into soup 'cuz no starch AND they soak up the broth :liplick:
In other newses no mo :rain: :sigh:

On the plus side Isosorbide is a doog choice :yes: though I woulda gone with the nitric oxide enhancing supplements first.
Is this a slow-release daily prescription or an "if needed " immediate effect type 'cuz iffen it is only as needed that would be perfect :thumbs: as a daily thang it's gonna suck AND you absolutely cannot let him ferget :naughty:

It's difficult to tell on this end but it sure seems like things started heading downhill AFTER cath lab :hmm:

:horn: Pandora!!!!! Zanna is a black panther. :yes: Seriously....her spirit animal. She said she visited me in that form but I never saw her. :sigh: She told me, "Look way up high in the trees". :luvcry:
I'm not sure what you mean about the thing he had to do when he called the Dr. :scratch:
B just reported the 'episodes'. And then they called in the script. But he might need to go see an NP (part of the cardiologist's staff) here locally. They did not say what would be next (imaging/testing) cuz it was a nurse who said it wasn't her place to "put ideas into his head". :laugh:
Sig... he's had 4 'episodes' in the past 2 weeks. None since the end of October (not counting the hypertensive work incidence cuz that was a different thing). The cath lab was 11/23. He's had typical angina with exertion a few times but not with the tachycardia or arrhythmia or BP spike.
And yes, it's the daily one. 30 mg once a day in the morning.
I figure he's gonna need one of them 'old people' pill keeper thingies. :rofl: Axshully, I had one when I was young & sickly. :yes:
Speaking of 'old people'.... amembers the smell? :michafire: & :sigster: I don't think you saw it, Pan, but he was smelling different & I described it as 'kinda like the old people smell'. :chuckle:
Well... it went away. But then I smelled it inside me. Like, inside my nose. :huh: My skin did not smell, nor my hair, nor any part of my body that I could reach with my nose. :rofl: But it was in my nose. :huh:
I decided it was covid. :yes: Either...covid temporarily changing our body chemistry OR covid messing with my sense of smell. :yes:
Either way...it's gone. :happydance: We smell good once again. :hysterical:

If that's what it took to get through to you she sure would. :yes:
Funny how we often cannot hear those we want to hear the most.
Like for me, it's my dad. :wub: Everybody else's moms & dads come through. But mine? :sigh:
When B's Mom was on a ventilator I heard his dad loud & clear say, "Tell the kids that I've got her now. It's gonna be ok". :luvcry:
And when his Mom could not speak but still had open eyes....she spoke straight to my heart & then a single tear dripped from her eye. :luvcry:
And Jen...she comes through just to :buttkick: me every now & then. :chuckle: :wub:
Zanna, Violet even, I feel as cheerleaders :cheer: Zanna shows up to help when I am overwhelmed with chores. :shera:
You know the meaning of the name Zanna, Pandora? :shera:
Zanna is an :angel: come to tell you that the hard times are over & better days are ahead.

The old people smell is 2-noneal and is the product of oxidation of omega 7 {yes 7 not 6 or 3} fatty acids present in the skin and sweat AND prolly a big factor is the statin use :yes:
So not likely covid :nono: yer (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) is just messed up :therethere:
"You know the meaning of the name Zanna, Pandora? :shera:

:huh: I'm purty sure it's a engrishized version of the Latin Susanna which means lilly :yes: In Hebrew it means "Almighty's present" and is why lilys, in particular white ones are present at funerals ... it's supposed to represent innocence or purity restored. That's why I thunked Jenal's flower was perfect and Zanna's name fit her perfectly too :angel:

QuoteZANNA
Zanna Angel Card Extended Description - Messages from Your Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue
According to this card, you've been through some tough times. Your guides and angels are telling you things are about to get better, and you need to relax and allow the better to happen.
Experiencing periods of extreme difficulty can have us expecting hard times and possibly creating them. We don't want that, so you need to relax.
As this card says, "The worst is behind you ..." You don't need to worry like you did anymore. Things are about to get better, and it's okay to believe the hardest times have passed.
Your angels are telling you that it's okay to feel safe, and they are surrounding you and your loved ones. Giving you this safe haven is meant to allow you time to heal and regain your footing.

Did you read, sig? :pie:
I said it was 'like' the old person smell, but not quite. :nonono: I also said I could not describe it.
And then yesterday I said it went away on him & then I smelled it in me! I takes no nothings. :nonono:
But now it's gone completely. :poof!:
Cheese Louise! :woe:
:spitcoffee:
In brighter newses... yesterday I was aglow! :bliss: :spring:
I was in & out...mostly in, but hanging out clothes & out to water. But I had the windows open :bliss: & it was glorious.
It was a feeling of savasana (total relaxation) whilst doing normal, everyday doings. :bliss:
But then SUDDENLY, around 8 or 9 PM I felt extremely tired & cranky without external trigger. :huh:
I think my body has just maintained the highest vibration for as long as it could & then it said, "Shut me down, NOW". :chuckle:
So far today I feel great once again. :wiggle:
And I just this morning realized it is a :fullmoon: :woe:
10:56 this AM... :elvis: time of course. :p

:pey: Psychic friends... Last night I dreamt for the second time that B & I were moving into the house I growed up in in Ohio. :huh:
Last night there was a mall within walking distance where I went to look for take-out only all the stores were bricked up. :huh:
And when I got back B was putting all the plastic bags (sandwich, quart, gallon) under the sink & I was like, :"Uh....nice boj, but I don't think I want those there.".
But it's that house that has me asking for youses perceptions? Why there?
And in both dreams we are deciding how we are going to use the house. It has a giant living room that nobody ever went into when I was growing up. We were going to make it our primary room & use the family room as a seeding/growing/storage room.
In the other dream were were deciding where we wanted our :hula: hoop & had pretty much decided on the 'way back' where it once had been horse pasture.
Is it a subconscious :wish: for a return to carefree times?
It was a great place to grow up... 3 acres, horses, minibikes, pool. Tents, bicycles, musical instruments. Neighboring friends & super cool parents who let us do anything we could dream up. :chuckle: It was the 70's. :hippy: <----parents, not me :chuckle:
Or is there a clue there? :huh:
It's been a long time since I had a recurring dream. AS far as I recall.

(It's only 5 minutes...a drawing)
and it said "past gifts returning"... "from childhood, from young adulthood, from past lives".
:faint:
So now my question is...what gifts have I 'lost' or left by the wayside since that time? :scratch:
Music, & writing come to mind. Just yesterday Mom was telling me how I need to write. :huh:

Back to Ohio??? :no: :no: :no:
Even Mom agrees with that although we had to kidnap her to get her to move in the first place. :rofl:
:thanks: Micha....and Pan. :hugs: I honestly never thought about a biography. :nonono: Nor even a bunch of short stories based on my past/childhood. Mom would truly love that. :yes:
I have thought about writing something like, "Stuff My Mom Would Like to Read". :chuckle:
Cuz I does think one of my gifts is the ability to esplain & simplify ffuts. I've always had to does that to help Mom understand stuffs & now, of course, the same with Jacki. :yes:
But there's nothing my mom likes to read more than biographies. :yes: For real. :righton:
Did I ever tell ya how she & I read every biography in my Junior High library? :hysterical:
I was an obsessive reader as a girl...she loved biographies. So I'd check one out & read it in a day, 2 at the most. And then she'd read it. Then I would take it back & get the next one on the shelf. :book: :book: :book: :book:
Boy oh boy energies..... :sofa: :scared: Yesterday I felt drawn but thankfully not quartered. :chuckle: Or more specifically, like I had seriously farmed allllll day long, except I'd done nothing strenuous at all.
The word "pressure" keeps coming up.
For the past couple days J would say, "Stop pressuring me" when I'd ask her things like "Are you hungry? Can I get you anything?" :huh: :rofl:
B mentioned pressure & last night he said he felt chest pressure though his vitals were all in check.
Siguie mentioned pressure & I hailed my pressure cooker when talking about lavender oil yesterday.
And then this morning I read....
QuotePRESSURE IS BUILDING
We are in a time of transition where the old is falling away and the new is slowly emerging from within. Currently tension is building between what has been habitual and what is unknown creating an inner pressure that is pushing us to move out of our comfort zones and into what is new and unfamiliar.
This is a crucial point in your journey where great potential is being uncovered and new possibilities are presenting themselves on a physical level. New opportunities are appearing that will support you in breaking free from the past. However, any resistance to change will increase the pressure creating stagnation and frustration. Over the next two days work with the incoming energy as it continues to flood through your physical form. Be mindful that on the 20th the energy shifts again so use it now to break through any blocks, resistance and or apathy.

:aaahhh:
And I guess that's what my body was feeling yesterday. As the day went on the pressure inside would build & then I had to lie on my yoga mat to consciously release. So much pressure that my entire body was trying to cramp. I'd relax & stretch a foot...cramp... other foot....cramp...same with hip, back, both legs. It was a dance between cramp & relax...kinda like the contraction & expansion of yoga except more painful. :hysterical: Until finally the entire body was relaxed & pain free once again.
:wiggle:
And 3 times I had to do this as just the least bit of movement (cooking simple dinner) would cause the muscles to tighten up once again. :huh:
I thought maybe it pertained to the torrential rains & cold front (from near 70 to 22) & still it might have.
But it may also be this universal "pressure" that I sense. :wtf:

Oh & I forgot! :woe:
At B's work on Monday a water main broke & thoroughly trashed the offices. Like a foot of water in them trashed. :sigh:
Not his desk cuz it's in the warehouse. :rofl:
And then late yesterday morning...SUDDENLY...I heard a 'pop' & then gushing water under the house. :no:
After a :frantic: 30 minutes of back&forth texts whilst trying to stop the raging waterfall, B came home & got it stopped, plumber was called & $120 & 5 minutes after he arrived a broken connection was replaced & peace was restored. :om:
Pressure. Water pressure. :faint:
And SUDDENLY I realize that my maiden name is Presson. (Not that I didn't know that :chuckle: ). Press-your/press-sure/press-on.

Seems SUDDENLY I be getting clues from here, there & everywhere. :sparkle:
I'm just writing them here lest I forget... and to give credence to what is. :yes:
This...I just read:
The Big Table
We'd like to make you aware of it. Now you see, before you came in, you sat around the big table. You brought all your friends, all those beings that you know, sometimes even thousands of them. That's why we call it a big table, it's where you make these connections and contracts. You say, "Oh, I'm going to be on Earth and you're going to be there too. Let's do this together. We tried this last time, although we were together and we couldn't get it done. Now, let's try to take that next step. And let's make a contract to come together and do one aspect. And you make all these beautiful contracts.
Surprisingly, the majority of people sitting around that table do not see you on Earth. Many of them are there just to plant the seeds of light; they are done by contract. These are very close spirits that you know well. They have agreed to cross your path for a short time, if the conditions are right, to plant seeds of light on your path. Many of them are there to remind you, and to support you, because you're part of their inner family. We call that your Original Spiritual Family, because you knew them well before you came to Earth. These are all those people who said, "Go ahead, step into Earth, you'll love it!" Then they laughed behind your back, because they knew what's coming.
An excerpt from this: https://spiritlibrary.com/steve-rother/beacons-of-light-february-2022
There were lots of messages in there for me but the thing that got my attention most is
I sat around that Big Table! In a dream that I believe is posted in here.
But I still remember it like yesterday though it was 10 years ago or more.
In the dream B, J & I were on snowmobiles & just as we got to Caledonia Church the ground split open & I was led in one direction, B & J in another. I was told B & J would be fine, but I needed to come with them. They were dressed as security guard/popo type peoples.
Then I was led to a doorway & down some stairs to where a large group of people were gathered around a very BIG Table.
They all had parkas on. I was told that a local celebrity was suffering from hypothermia & I was being called to help.
I remember being hesitant..saying I could not do that, but they kept assuring me that I was to be the "Peppermint Lady" this time.
End dream.
Anyway the local celebrity ended up being Dad (he really was) & the hypothermia was an acute description of everything going on with him regarding alcohol, cancer & general 'aliveness'.
The Peppermint Lady came into play when I was going to OH alone & my alternator SUDDENLY died going 80mph. I credit The Beatles for saving my life cuz the CD messing up caused me to get in the right lane.
Shortened story, I was in Washington Courthouse where Mom & I frequently swapped Jacki at a Wendy's where a retired :angel: worked & always passed out peppermints. :wub:
I walked to a truck weigh station where a man named Robert (Dad's name) who had an adult son with autism helped me out.
Rode in a tow truck where the driver talked extensively of the death of a local HS athlete that had rocked the town & ended up at Blessing's auto repair. For real. Blessing's. There they drove into Columbus to get a part & stayed 3 hours past closing to get me on my way. :wub: I waited at a Bowling Alley next door (my last name :faint: ) where it was just me, the barkeep & her 2 kids who came in after school.
Got to the hospital at 11PM to be told that Dad had acute myeloid leukemia that was in blast phase & had weeks to live. :sparkle:
And then I went to work. :shera:
Anyways... I noes that Big Table. :wub:

The big table. Jenal would talk about how we sat together at the big table. I ended up seein' it in dreamtime all that time ago. :heart:
I slept terribly last night. Wound up like a spring. I didn't notice it at first while I was tossing and turning then I became aware that my fists were clenched, and my shoulders, etc. were all tightened right up. So I slept in bits, had dreams that I can't remember now, and wish I'd written them down when I first roused up. I think I may have gotten 3 hours in total when the night was done.
Pressure. For me it's my ears. For a month now. I feel like I hear everything underwater. I've tried all sorts of stuff, but nothing is working.
Dang annoying. :gaah: I'm gonna have to break down and go have them checked. :sigh:
Starting a thing next week with an organization called History Forge transcribing/digitizing the 1910 census. Kind of looking forward to it, but that means people. Talking with people, and meetings with people, So..I'm having a little bit of joiner's remorse. :sofa:
Weather much cooler today with quite a bit of sunshine. But around us folks are looking at all kinds of warnings about wind and flooding. My county seems to be insulated. Which is kinda strange. :huh: But the warming trend is starting, and I think it's here to stay. The run off from the foothills is gonna be messy. We got about 2 feet of snow that has to melt somewheres.
Dinner tonight a lightly marinated green salad with tempeh fajitas. Mayhap some chilled pineapple chunks too. :liplick:

The Ukraine. :sigh: I have no words. This is gonna be ugly.
I tried all them things for my ears, :sigster: . Maybe I oughta get ear tubes. Or maybe I've hit the threshold for going deaf. I dunno.
I got no more tricks, so time to see the big guns.
Dinner was yummy and enjoyed by all. I steam the tempeh for about 15 or 20 minutes before I use it. I made this new marinade for it. Loved it! One thing about tempeh, it's robust and filling.
So Dad's gonna keep you busy. :thumbs: Can he keep you out of trouble too? Somehow I doesn't think so. :hmm2:
Yeah Lucifer is awesome. I've been very much the couch potato in the evenings. Just watched The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the WIndow. (Say that 3x fast :faint:) It was pretty good. I enjoyed it.

Ukraine shoulda joined NATO back in 2010 :therethere:
As for yer ears ... bringing in the big guns is fine :yes: but a regular doctor will take a look git some tests and give you some antibiotics which prolly wont does anythin THEN iffen he :bump: s you to an ENT guy they will want to does surgery 'cuz that's what they do and neither will know what the underlying problem is ... other than fluid in/behind the ear :roll:
I has friends that are doctors ... they is doog people :yes: and they have no clue what or why they do what they does :horror:
Srsly I consider ENTs kind of at the same level as dermatologists ... if they can does a test that asplains the symptoms and problems Great :thumbs: but most timez they just start throwing meds or procedures at you and hope sumthin werks or the condition magically goes away ... which fortunately is what happens 70% of the time on average :angel:
"... One thing about tempeh, it's robust and filling."
Well yeah it's literally just soy :bean: s that have fused together into a solid Rhizopus mold :brick: :blob:
You can git a pound of tempeh starter for $10 to $20 and make more than you could eber eat 'cuz it is SOoooo disgusting :yucky:
Yeah solly I put tempeh just above Stinky Tofu and slightly below natto and no I would not eat natto agin :nonono:
But I respect yer culinary fortitude and veghastly choices :yes: :yes: :nono:
"So Dad's gonna keep you busy. :thumbs: Can he keep you out of trouble too? Somehow I doesn't think so. :hmm2:"
Dunno about "busy" but he definitely has ideas of how to populate the veggie jails and once populated he just lets the gardeners take care of everythang :yes: He likes to start ffuts and just watch how thangs grow then harvest ... he's not big on that whole tending process :nono:

Srsly it's tough and then there's the Mandalorian, the spin offs like Bobba Fett and oodles of anime titles like Konosuba and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation and sooo many morez :drama: AND lets not fergetz the health projects / :egg: periments like siguie brand :electrocute: copper nasal probe (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif)
I've got a lot on my plate ... though thankfully no tempeh :moon:

Ukraine :gheart: :vibes: :shera: for all the innocents
Pandora ears :sparkle: :gheart: :sparkle:
Jacki had tubes. Twice. And hearing aids. Thrice. And antibiotics, countlos times until finally I asked, "Why are we giving her yet another round of amoxicillin when the last one didn't work?". I remember the :huh: look on the ENT's face as he said, "It's all I have to do.". :sigh: She is technically deaf in her right ear & has about 80% hearing in the left, but she hears ffuts she's not apposta hear in the next room when she wants to. :chuckle:
As for tension, I felt physically great yesterday. :wiggle: No pain whatsoever. Seems I often feel/mourn/hurt well before an earth-shattering event. :dunno: It's when I begin to feel amazingly well that somethin usually happens. :sigh:
There's somethin bout tomorrow...2/20 US's Jupiter return? :dunno: I just remember somethin bout things building until 2/20.
As for autobiography... :nonono: I could not write about just me. :horror:
I am a born back-up singer, not lead. :chuckle: But I could write about past events which would please Mom greatly.
I could write stories of growing up southern in northern Ohio. :chuckle: The one title I thunk of ages ago was "I Come From a Long Line of Racists". :yes: That would NOT please Mom. :chuckle: And I absolutely cannot write about Jacki in any form or fashion becuz she does not want me to. I respect that. It's difficult to write about or try to esplain Jacks without labelling anyway. :yes:
I'd rather just be. :om:

They are corrodable. And then break. A manufacturer issue. Same with the tub drain metal. :sigh: The sinks have been ok.
We think we've had 4 replaced now. Hopefully we're nearing the end. We cannot find a plumber who will replace them pre-emptively though we have had quotes on replacing ALL the plumbing. 4K. :yucky: We can pay a lot of $120s with 4K. 33.33333333333 to be exact. :rofl:

So, I'm going to meet up with my Dad and a bunch of other family on April 10 in Metropolis. :happydance: This will be so, so important. I'm thinking abouts nothin' but.
:sigster: I knows my ear tubes are wacked out from chronic rhinitis from allergies. Iffin I could just get it to thin and drain, and I suspect there's inflammation too. I keep thinkin' I'm gonna wake up one morning and it will all magically be gone. :sigh:

Oh wait that's right I already did :yesss: :wwsd: :happydance:

Unstoopify this, :sigster: :buttkick: :wiggle:
And :happydance: for 4/10 in Metropolis. I figger you mean NY, cuz did you know there is a Metropolis, Illinois?
About 90 minutes from here. :sparkle: There is a casino there that we've been to a couple times.
We gots upper 60's here today & tomorrow but overcast & storms on the way. :rain:
Oh & B had another 'episode' with spiking BP (200/100+) & tachycardia/arrhythmia whilst doing nothing on Saturday early evening. He's felt fine yesterday & this morning but he is calling the doc when he gets home today. :yes: They said if it happened again whilst he be taking the isosorbide then he is to call. :check:
Something else is going on. I noes it & he does, too. Either a new/worsening blockage or the collaterals are not as developed as they thought OR a valve issue. :oz: find it inneresting that he's working for a Valve-making company. :huh:
The feeling like he's gonna die every 2-3 days is getting real old real fast. :sigh:

:gheart: for your trip. I'd mention meeting up but I figure you will be focused on where you needs to be this time. :hugs:
As it gets closer though...maybe, we'll see. :vibes:
And yes, I just want his :heart: ffuts to continue fixing itself. :gheart:
Thing is...I noes that this is a true Phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes thingy for him & I just don't think he's been quite 'borned again' yet. :sigh:
It's about putting himself first...loving & valuing himself...refusing to settle. All that good ffuts. :chuckle:
He's truly such a big :heart: -ed, good :heart: -ed, loving :heart: -ed galoot. :b:
He's just gotta once & for all leave the past behind & know he deserves the 'easy button'. :shera:

If that's the case, sig, then why did he not has any of these symptoms when the first one closed? :huh:
Regardless, he gotta be checked out once again. :sigh: He didn't call yesterday cuz he worked 12 hours. :sigh:
And no, that won't be a thing here. They had 'company' coming today & he offered to help clean up.
It will be beginning to be beautifuller here in April. :bliss2:

For reals...:violet: was born to my niece in Columbus OH. :vsparkle:

:asiel: We thinkin' wanderin' the same path. I went into numbers even afores I read all the ways. I was thinkin'. :hmm2: today is 3.
And yesterday was 11 which are both significant iffin they're following each other, Don't ya think?
11 spiritual awakening; creative, mystical, high energy. And then following a 3 day: Connections; good fortune, wisdom, balance...the 3 connections.
Violet Grace..beautiful name. Violet 2, Grace 7. :wub:
:b: learning balance. :gheart:
Because today is 3, and the essence of a 3 day is well expressed in the serenity prayer, I thinks. :om:
( :secret: I'm a natal 5. Which is the connection I shared with Zanna. :heartbeat: )
I do want to try meeting up with :asiel: , somehow. It feels as important to me, as meeting up with Dad. But I'm thinking I'll wait until things are closer. I'm toying with the idea of coming in 4/8 and not leaving until 4/12. Heck maybe even 4/15 and make a solid week out of it. I want some extra time to visit certain places while I'm there, and perhaps going to the city clerk's office to nose around in some old records, hoping to solve a mystery. 8) We shall see.

It would be most awesome. :yes:
You are welcome here. I'd make lunch. :wig: :gle:
Or if it seems better we can meet there, or anywhere in-between.
But we are much the same in that closer to time is best for plans. :matt:
A zillion things can happen between now & then. :rofl:
Zanna & I were always gonna meet in the middle one day. It was 900 miles, most of them on I-40, betwixt & between but 450 each was not a thing.

In other wurdz it's a Tuesday 'cuz it is :rimshot:
Now that's a cool koinkidink :thumbs:
Violent Grace :hmm2: dunno why but reminds me of that song A Grazing Mace :rimshot: ... I so funny :hysterical:
"If that's the case, sig, then why did he not has any of these symptoms when the first one closed? :huh: "
Honestly he prolly did but just neber noticed. I mean srsly totally clogged artery that gits a bypass and no symptoms ... what is up with that? :dunno:
For realz this is why I said you very likely saved his life :yes: Arterial Calcification is present in the vast majority of heavy and/or long time smokerz. For the most part reversing this is considered not possible BUT the fact that B had only two suggests that likely the others were sufficiently small that they did the impossible anyways :yes:
Here's the thang Arterial Calcification is not necessarily the same as Calcified plaques which are considered stable atheromas. And clearly the cardiologist didn't tell you much of anything useful so I wasn't gonna press you for details :roll:
Anywho there could be any number of reasons from the location on the :heart: to B is just older now :dunno:
In any event if the events are becoming more frequent and or severe then yup make an appointment :yes:
In other newses ... I gotted an email from Mr.Postman that sez my Zanna cards are waiting at home :happydance:

You gotted Zanna cards? :happydance:
Super cool. :hi5:
:sigh: No, the doctor seems doog enough, and he talks a lot, but I can tellz he's used to talking to peoples with little or no comprehension of what he's saying so he keeps things quite um....basic. :sigh:
And he's old skool, as in 30+ years of practice, & he doesn't use the patient portal for communicating nor the purveying of data.
When his BP spiked back in 2 of 2020 & it took the ER hours to get it down (with meds) eeerbody (including me) thunk it was "stress". Work-related stress. And the xray, EKG, bloodwork all showed no :heart: issues
But in hindsight I think that's when he felt the first blockage symptoms. And then the subsequent angina was all written off as nursery aches, pains & injuries. :yes:
And then in Dec of 2020 the pain was so bad that he went to another doctor. Again the EKG was fine (3rd one in less than a year) & she put him on BP meds but too high of a dose cuz it bottomed him out. But then he got a legitimate injury at the nursery.
I'll never forget the day in January at the nursery he texted & said he was in so much pain...he thought he was hasing a :heart: attack.
I says, "What are you doing?" and he replies, "Tamping down gravel in the back hoophouse". :scared:
I says, "Stop that immediately & come home." I still believed it was an injury at that point.
Oddly enough, all that physical work likely encouraged the growth of the collaterals. :heart: :whip:
:crazy:
Oh & Jacki laughed about her new cousin's name, too. :rofl:
She says, "Violet Beauregard! She turns purple & blows up like a blueberry." :hysterical:
Boy oh boy energies are wacko. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
The entire :earth: feels like a tinderbox. Or maybe just a giant :egg: that is cracking & about to hatch a new :earth: ? :sparkle:
And winter is back here. :sigh: :snowball:

'cuz ya noes alpHabeeticalz and Z :whistle:
BUT it was still cool :happydance:
I hasn't really played with them BUT I didn't noes about the card name thang so now I has my Zanna collectors card :happydance:

Honestly I thunked you lucked out with the one ya gotted :yes: someone who acknowledges the non-connection between cholesterol and :heart: disease is purty rare :faint:
>>> The following is siguie brand Opinion not to be confused with reality or correct thinking <<<
Anywho, I was a little surprised when B's cardiologist recommended anything other than baby aspirin :scratch: even after learning there was a second artery that was partially closed.
Iffen B's body fixeded things once it might does it agin, in which case I'da recommended a holding pattern where you/he does :egg: actly what you had been doesing and nuthin different :nono: Then in a few months {prolly not 6} git another :check: up ... no cathing but perchance a contrast dye and an imaging test to git an idea of blood flow, how far the bypass building has gotted and see iffen there were a bypass v2.0 in the werks :yes:
K so here's the thang statins {including atorvastatin} improves the rate of wound healing BUT they can also :bump: up the level of Potassium which in turn can increase blood Calcium levels. Normally this isn't a thang to be concerned about BUT depending on the composition of the closing calcification it "might" increase the rate. However, it really really depends on the composition, iffen it's a calcified plaque then lowering the bad lipids while :bump: ing the doog might be benificial PLUS boosts the bypass healing part.
The problem is there's not enough information AND you'd need multiples tests months apart to git it.
K that's why I was always so critical and questioningly ... I woulda thunk nuthin {'cept baby aspirin} and come back in 3 months for data harvesting or some such :dunno:
>>> END siguie brand Opinion <<<
I does enjoy tweaking thangs BUT when it really matters I'm more of a don't mess with it iffen it aint borked :buttkick: kinda thinker :yes:
As for yer timeline speculation ... it's possible :yes: ... but even then there were enough active times that did not cause episodes where he shoulda felt some angina, simply because at some point there was no bypass AND the restriction was narrowing :dunno:
The thang is the bypass building procedure is initiated via angiogenesis and there are thangs that switch angiogenesis on for certain areas, the big one being a muskel ... like the :heart: ... needing more Oxygen. While other muskelz might feel sore the :heart: tends to feelz anginay ... so I really would have :egg: pected the cardiologist to mention B might feel some chest pressure or pain.
That said, I notice there is a simularity between now and what broughted him into the ER afores SO ... :whatever: my hope is he's just starting bypass 2.0 :angel:

You posted that at 5:55:(24) :elvis: & primary :windy: time! :wubsigh:
Ain't no coinkidink. :nonono: :sparkle:
Ooooh, I hadn't eben thunk about bypass 2.0 yet. I was thinking more that bypass 1.0 was over stressed. :gaah:
And I appreciate you sharing you knowledge and opine. :yes: And I take it for what it's worth :gold: and not as gospel. :siguienotgod: :chuckle: You have been wrong once or twice. :yes: Admit it. :buttkick:
But I noes you know more about this ffuts than doctors & pharmacists. They noes what the reps tells them...what the 'parties' involve...and what studies they happen to read in whatever journals they pick up.
What was innersesting tho is that B's doctor said he saw no connection between elevated cholesterol & blockages but then after he found blockage it was as if he was afraid not to prescribe the conventional treatment.
So he (we :chuckle: ) are going to see the Nurse Practitioner on Wednesday March 2 in Paris. :yes:
I am gonna has the exact numbers & point out how his total cholesterol DID go down over 100 points in 10 months solely due to diet becuz I don't think they saw that piece of the puzzle.
How does I point out what you just said without offending or off-putting?
"I has this friend who just happens to be a chemist that develops drugs & he says :blah: :blah: :blah: " That won't work. :rofl:
"I was reading about... :blah: :blah: :blah:" Then they :roll: cuz everybody loves an armchair medical professional. :rofl:
Or how bouts... "Are you aware that statins can bump up the blood calcium & in certain cases even worsen an existing blockage?"
Yep. They'll love that. :sigh:
I just don't wanna see him get sucked even further into the vortex of drugs, stents, whatevers. :norway:
And yeah, the doc is still doog. :sigh: I amembers him telling me after the procedure that he just really wanted to try managing his condition without meds first, before hasing to go in & mess with anything. He does seem to want to help the body (God, he said) heal the patient & that is a purty big thing. So many, like his former dermatologist, wanna use the biggest guns first. :wtf:
In other newses... I slept 11 hours! :faint: Had a truly ykaerf dream about bodies being chopped up into 5 gallon buckets & then we was adding all kinds of ddo ingredients to speed up the decay I guess. Things like 1 dish towel, 1 cupcake, 1 bottle of soda. Then we lidded the buckets...3 of them :roll: ...and carried them to Elton John's palatial estate whereupon they were gonna use them for the garden. :huh:
It wasn't creepy or anything whilst I was dreaming it. :nonono: Maybe symbolic of the 3 of us composting our old bodies in order to grow brand new?
Then I awoke in Arendale. :sparkle: That's the Kingdom in Frozen, for those who may not know. :roll: :rofl:
It's an ice-covered morning, for the second time this winter now. :sparkle:

:michafire: is too dang close, I thinks too. :uhoh:
This ain't a good thing. We're in for a category 6 whitewater rafting ride globally, and :boom: is a mild way to define it, I fear.
Meanwhile, China is doing a little side mischief so to speak. Which figures into this whole thing. Leastways that's what my gut tells me. They are stacking their coins in Russia's corner, and coincidentally sent in 2 fighter planes on the same day into Taiwan's airspace. I wonder if they aren't in cahoots.
:asiel: I wonder if maybe a 2nd opinion on :b: would be helpful? Maybe some confirmation, and some better ideas about how to help?
I has no idea how I'm gonna come up with the monies for my trip. I'm brainstormin' and starting a focused goal kinda project folder thingy.
I'm gonna get there iffin I have to walk. It ain't a choice in my mind. :shera:
Yup, weather went cold agins. Most of that big snow is gone now, so honestly it is better we did go cold again. Slow up the melting and runoff a little. Not that I like it... :sigh:

:woe: are you kidding me :woe: I'm wrong 95% of the time :buttkick: What people don't realize is that being right 5% of the time puts me way ahead of the curve :yesss:

Amemberz the cardiologist is not a psyintist :nono: he was trained to diagnose and treat, much like a car mechanic, and how he treats disease is based on what is essentially a medical flow chart.

"How does I point out what you just said without offending or off-putting?"
That's easy :yes: you don't :buttkick:

Now how you git there is up to you BUT the sherpa will suggest the bestest path in their opinion.

Sherpa story... :rofl: :righton:
B is now convinced that the statin is causing most of his problems...besides the 'episodes' it's tiredness, ever-increasing weight gain (all in the trunk :huh: ), swelling of the ankles, feet & shins, digestive disturbances (that had cleared up since the 2020 ffuts).
A month or more back he had tried to take it every other day & ended & ended up way messed up so after the first major 'episode' at the end of January her began taking it faithfully once again. So he's on board.
I will has to do plenty of talking becuz...well....I simply communicated better with doctor-types. :wiggle: More experience, mainly.
Plus I has a drive to understand the issue at least to a basic degree.
When Jacki was born we had this giant medical book. "Good Housekeeping Family Health & Medical Guide". There was no internet...but there were libraries at every hospital & I was usually the only person in them. :chuckle: Anyway...I practically memorized the chapter on Gastroenterology. :chuckle: (Cuz she had NEC, large intestine resection & 6 month ilieostomy, amembers? )
I digressed. :hysterical: :wub: :windy:
As for second opinions, Pandora... :dunno: There is such a shortage of docs here. Memphis/Nashville...both 2ish hours away.
It takes a long time to get a specialist appointment. It took me 6 weeks to see an endocrinologist when I was diagnosed with Graves. :sigh: And the only way Dad could get into Vanderbilt (with raging leukemia nonetheless) was to go to the ER & then camp out in there for 2 days. His dermatologist has no openings til mid-April. (He's gonna try one in Paducah).
That's the trade-off. And more motivation to stay well & treat yourself at home as much as possible. :shera: :gheart: :shera:
THIS! Pandora said:
QuoteMeanwhile, China is doing a little side mischief so to speak. Which figures into this whole thing. Leastways that's what my gut tells me. They are stacking their coins in Russia's corner, and coincidentally sent in 2 fighter planes on the same day into Taiwan's airspace. I wonder if they aren't in cahoots.
My thoughts exactly. :sigh: If not in cahoots then definitely taking advantage of the situation.
But it's like...'well if Russia can take Ukraine then surely we can has Taiwan.'. :sigh:
:earthheart:
And Pandora... you are welcome to stay here when you make 'The Trip'. :sparkle: I'd just need a bit of head's up to return the guest room to a guest room, but it would be a very welcome impetus to do so. :yes: Currently it is storage of :carp: and Snoop Dogg's bedroom. (Cuz he & Swami fight :gayfight: ) . He's a very personable cat & would gladly share his room. :wub:
You would be most welcome here as I knows that you understand the kennel chic way of life. :chuckle:

Spoo.
This morning I was awake, but dreaming. :yes: Quite lucidly cuz I awoke from my awakeness several times but wanted to finish the dream so drifted off once again. :crazyeyes: Fwiw, as a child/teen I usta dream like that all the time. :laugh:
Mom would holler up the stairs to wake us & I yell, "5 more minutes, I just want to finish this dream" & then I'd go right back to where I'd been interrupted. :rofl:
Anyway... I was at a farm market booth. It was quite abundant & everything was extraordinarily fresh & vital looking.
I was talking to the lady who grew it, asking about the kale varieties. (They were in plastic bags & I could not clearly see the kales)
I asked about Vates kale, but she had none. "That's ok", says I.
Then she was grumbling about washing the vegetables & how some people did not think them home grown unless they had a modicum of dirt on them. I sighed & told her I surely appreciated how much work went into washing & getting ready for market.
I asked if she had grown stuffs in a hoop as it was current time/weather & she had radishes, onions, peas, tons of greens...many things I knew not to be able to withstand the cold.
She said no so I asked if she used row covers & I don't recall if she answered.
I was quite inquisitive & interested in all of it but she was quite matter-of-fact with her replies & seemed almost irritated, as though she thought I was questioning her integrity or something.
I told her I was just interested...that I had grown things myself & truly appreciated the labor of love.
Then I asked if she had a card & I took 2. Wrote my name & number on the back of 1 & told her if she ever had large quantities of greens to get rid of that I would buy them to freeze. I also told her I'd be interested in helping her out in exchange for produce if she ever needed a helping hand.
And then I woke up for real...though I had oh so many more questions. :rofl: Just like Alice, was I. :rabbit:

Yep. Just for the past 3 or 4 nights, in particular but sometimes even during the day.
And yep, he tolded them which is likely why they said, "The doctor would like you to see the Nurse Practitioner as soon as possible". :duh:
So... Wednesday. Is as soon as possible. :yes:
And yes, that's just how the healthcare system works in this part of the country. :sigh: It's gotten worserer in the 16 years we've been here in that most all the widdle hopsickles has closed & most all the doctors has been replaced with NPs & RNs, with a smattering of PAs around. :yes:
He's ashully feeling really doog right now. :wiggle: The further away from an 'espisode' he is, the betterer he feels. :wiggle:
We going out to play today. :elfparty:
:gheart:
So.... Lee Harris of Lee Harris Energy said that we were all going to be experiencing a "return of gifts" in the upcoming days/weeks.
Gifts we had in childhood that we may or may not even recall. :wiggle:
I realized one of mine was/is lucid dreaming. :cloud9: I did it so often & easily that I thunk it was lamron. :kaerf:
But alas...in young adulthood...I losted it. Without ever knowing how I had it in the fist place. :rofl:
That lucid dream full of luscious, vital vegetables was significant. :sparkle: In more ways than one.
Energies are sure up there... :wheee: and out there... :wtf: :no:

Yeeeeah kinda losteded now :scratch: no doubt a few missing memos :fist:
Last I nude he was taking it ebery other or better ebery 3rd day. Ebery 3rd day had the bestest level of acceptable side effects vs LDL reduction :yes:
Also wasn't he taking some type of slow release nitric oxide releaser :scratch: Based on the mode of action it's highly unlikely that it would produce swellaging of the legs, though iffen his BP is lower overall long enough then maybe :dunno: I strongly recommend looking at the warnings and cautions for eberythang he's taking :yes:
Though I still think statins are the stoopidiest over prescribed medication ever :gaah:
Iffen the nurse/doctor whatever still wants him on an LDL and triglyceride lowering medication I would pick Bempedoic Acid aka Nexletol over some other statin :unthumbs:
I has no real :egg: perience with bempedoic acid but researching statin alternatives, this is a latest and greatest kemikill AND structurally {from a kemyst perspective} it's a lot friendlier to the body :yes:
The main issue is a uric acid :bump: but as long as B is not prone to gout or kidney stones ... it's not really a thang :nono:
Doog luck with the nurse practitioner :roll: they really can be quite doog and generally very useful :yes: Though I kinda doubt they'll does anything other than a few standard tests and say here try these other statins :gaah:
"And yes, that's just how the healthcare system works in this part of the country. :sigh: "
That's purty much how it werks in the rest of the country too :yes: :secret: bempedoic acid ... :whistle:

That's purty much how I've been since Jacki was born. :yes: I had to learn everythang I could about her becuz she was so ddo.
And...the simple fact that they almost killt her several times over. :sigh:
I also had to learn how to stand my ground & grow a backbone, when I was just a kid myself. :yes:
It's wasn't til 1995 that I stopped just taking whatever the doctor prescribed without question. :sigh:
I had to reach the point of taking prednisone, plaquenil & methotrexate before I dove into truly healing myself (an ongoing process :rofl: )
It's just that :b: never had anything. AI, amembers? :sigh: He had orthopedic injuries aplenty & then the psoriasis in 2000 but elsewise :superman: :yes:
When Jacki was little I had a pharmacist who was an :angel: . He understood & esplained to me just like :siguie: . He handed me the PDR on numerous occasions (before internet :p) & most importantly he treated me as though I was his equal, even though I was a 20-something year old waitress. :candle:
I'll watch the video in a bit, but I'm certain it's a thing. :yes: The nose noes. :onoes:
I noes I can smell dis-ease I just don't know how to identify what the particular smell is.
It ain't like there's a PDR of assorted illness scents & metabolized (or not :huh: ) drug scents. :rofl:
I figure I needs to study up. :book: Years ago I saw a tarot reader who told me to read a book called, "Awakening Intuition". She herself had never heard of the book. :huh: So I bought it on the way home. :chuckle:
It's about a young girl who passed out in college a lot (like me :rofl: ) and ended up becoming a medical intuitive. I really needs to read it again. :book:

Last night every cell in my body was vibrating loudly. :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:
I also felt a palpable sense of collective anxiety. Global shallow breathing. :om:
It's still there this morning but not quite as noticeable underneath the hum of ordinary Sunday morningings. :cleanse:
We went to Jackson yesterday to eat Thai doof & buy an organic turkey. :chuckle:
At the Thai restaurant we had a private room (awesomeness!) as the space is divided up inside to look like a house. :yes: It's actually in a shopping center.
But anyway...the peoples we did come in contact with were all especially friendly & open. As if, they were consciously living to spread the Light :happydance: . Holding tight to the opposite of discord.
Also J ack i had a headache all day & mine kept trying to hurt off & on. Left side forehead only. Quite ddo.

The doog thing about here tho is that you can go out & still not come in contact with peoples... :bliss:
As long as you are smate about where & when to goes.

Whew! Much better today. I woke up feeling sharper and more balanced than I have in a few days.
Last time I checked (this past week) our county numbers were real low. We had 26 new cases. I'm still masking.
Today was cold; in the 20's. But the sky was a gorgeous china blue, with nary a cloud in sight. :rainbow:
So tonight is shepard's pie, and apple crisp for desert.. Because Bug was craving it.

Yeeeeah about that ... mostly ... tanassi just stopped reporting anything :dunno: In theory they dropped to weekly reporting in order to improve accuracy BUT it didn't :roll:
Anywho, you literally cannot git doog data from any tanassi official sources :nonono: The bestest way to see how a county is doing is to asses their hopsickle situation BUT even that is tricky since counties with smaller hopsickles push patients to larger hopsickles or atleast those with more ventilators :sofa: AND many covid patients are listed as sumthin else :woe:
Davidson County, TN
- Inpatient beds occupied: 75.0% (7.0% by COVID-19 patients)
--- 6.3% more availability than Tennessee overall
- ICU beds occupied: 66.0% (12.0% by COVID-19 patients)
:woe: and just 2 weeks ago Davidson County numbers were :egg: ceeding capacity BUT apparently not 'cuz of covid :whistle:
Currently Jefferson county is listed as the worst but only 'cuz they are not lying quite as muches :roll:
Jefferson County, TN
- Inpatient beds occupied: 100.0% (38.0% by COVID-19 patients)
--- 25.0% more full than Tennessee overall
- ICU beds occupied: 100.0% (88.0% by COVID-19 patients)
Anywho, the R values are all below 1 so the pandemic is ending even in tanassi :yes: AND the hopsickle situation is getting better BUT the actual numbers are sooo badly made up, it's like figuring out China's covid numbers ... you have to look at "excess deaths " to even git close to the truth. In any event funeral home stats for tanassi shows a ~40% :bump: for every month since January of 2021. Those numbers are :egg: pected to be higher for the first few months of 2022 but they wont be out for a while.
Regardless it's just so :brain: numbing to think of how many people died for no reason :crazyeyes:

:pey: We made an apple crisp just about a week ago. :hi5:
Sig, I had to google Jefferson County to even see where it is. :rofl:
I noes Jefferson County KY is where Louisville is but I dint no Jefferson CO Tanasi. :nonono:
Axshully...I thinks Jefferson County KY is closer. :rofl: The former is waaaay over in the mountain regions where I noes the virus had 'supposedly' been worse all along. :yes:
It's March!! :happydance:
And tomorrow is the new :moon:
I gotted a good chunk of the guest room cleaned out so that I can put plants in there. :rofl:
Of courses, Pandora can still stay with Snoop and the plants. :wiggle:
Just gonna get some doof started at this new :moon:
Tomorrow is B's appointment, too. :clap: Don't know if I memoed that SUDDENLY the psoriasis has gotten way way WAY bad? :sigh: Like worse than ever bad? :sigh: Omg his legs look so extraordinarily painful & he's been eating Aleve for the past 2 days.
We both think it's from the atorvastatin. :yes: I googled 'can atorvastatin worsen psoriasis' & gotted an article from the nih...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3163346/#:~:text=Statins%20have%20been%20also%20reported,and%20improved%20after%20its%20discontinuance.
as well as a first-hand account...both saying that the psoriasis SUDDENLY went extreme at 3 months of atorvastatin.
That's almost exactly where he is.
It had been getting better. It's that time of year :sun: Then :boom:
And yeah...he's looking for a dermatologist. His previous one is a :butt: who hates people & only does what he does for $$. :yes:
Anyway...the BP is up (160ish/80ish) prolly due to extreme pain. Seriously, he can barely walk. THe skin is so tight & then cracks painfully when he moves. It also bleeds & oozes when it cracks. :sigh: And seriously...in just 2 days it has gone from "worsening" to critical. Never in the 22 years he's had it has it exploded like this. :nonono: Thankfully. :hail:
He stopped the atorvastatin so maybe it shall halt it's progression. :gheart:
But on the bright side he's had considerably less angina & NO tachycardia or dangerous BP since 2/19 so he believes the isosorbide is helping that.

Spoke to my niece in Ohio & since Christmas her FIL-to-be has had the EXACT same 'episodes' as :b:
Same non-trigger as in he said he'd be sitting on the couch doing nothing & :boom:
He's a VIP (fema director) so he's been hospitalized twice & had every possible test & numerous doctors consulting.
They determined it to be Long Covid! :faint:
Amember my smellavision supposition? :scratch:
Seriously...maybe... I dunno if that's 'better' or 'worse' than worsening blockages or whatevers, but still...it makes sense.

Solar Cycle 24 has died
:horn: Long Live Cycle 25 :woohoo: or ya noes live another 8 or 9 years anywayz :oz:
Essentially solar cycle 24 was hanging around messing up cycle 25 which started in 2019 and now it's not :nono:
:sunhug: time :tinhat:
As for :b:
Yes, in general statins are known as a group to induce autoimmune diseases :yes: with diabetes being number one which makes you wunderz why they prescribe the :carp: :woe:
I say ... like always ... :buttkick: the statin :thumbs:
"But on the bright side he's had considerably less angina & NO tachycardia or dangerous BP since 2/19 so he believes the isosorbide is helping that. "
:woe:
More likely the statin caused the problem in the first place with the peripheral edema and the isosorbide is just helping to cancel out the negative efects. In fact as I recall isosorbide is used as a topical agent to treat psoriasis.
Yup here it is ... A Sensitization-Free Dimethyl Fumarate Prodrug, Isosorbide Di-(Methyl Fumarate), Provides a Topical Treatment Candidate for Psoriasis
Anywho the thang is the isosorbide portion is just a doog simple "drug" delivery unit. It falls apart cleanly to components that the body can easily deal with. It's what is attached that does the actual medicinally ffuts ... in B's case that's just some nitrates to dilate his vaso bits aka vasodilater :rimshot: Personally I'd go with the beet root durt or my preferred L-arginine aka El Argentina :whistle: AND :buttkick: eberythang but the baby aspirin :yes:
This is just :horn: my opinion but unless you have something both known AND treatable otherwise healthy people should neber listen to their doctors and espeeshully NOT speeshulists :nonono: They may be able to cure sick people but they send not quite sick people into tailspins ... medically speaking :whistle:
Anywho doog lucks with the nurse practitioner :yes: Also make sure B asks how to stop taking the isosorbide ... not that he will stop taking it :nono: just so he noes how. It's one of those ween off gently or else drugs :sofa:
As for Long COVID ... yeeeeah "long covid" is poorly defined and more likely a way for a doctor to say :idunno: and blame a positive covid test for whatever symptoms someone has.
That said in the UK between 7% and 18% of people who had covid original flavour thru Delta had lingering covid symptoms even after 5 weeks or more. This is more or less what is considered "long covid" with "long haulers" being those with more intense symptoms lasting even longer.
The thang is, viral infections "can" do a lot of serious damage and covid especially targeted nerves. So :heart: damage is common and can lead to similar events with angina. As well as breathing difficulties 'n such :yes: So yes, that person "may" be :egg: periencing some form of long covid OR it's a different cold or flu AND he tested positive for covid there's no easy way to differentiate :nono:
Anywho the main thang is called Guillain-Barré syndrome ... it's autoimmune related and is considered a rare complication after recovering from a flu BUT with sooo many covid patients ... it's not that rare no morez BUT it's not restricted to covid.
FYI: Omicron seems less prone to Guillain-Barré syndroming :oz:

I been farmin but gotta change directions now. :oz:
:hello: I agrees with you 100%, sig. That's the path less followed that I took in 1995. And :b: has supported me with my choices as well as for Jacki the whole time but now...it's him. And more specifically his :heart: which taps into the fear he's carried since the day his young Dad SUDDENLY died.
I am optimystic about today's visit. :wiggle:
AND...he gots a dermatologist appointment for next Tuesday...at a new doctor. (After 3 calls & no availables til May he called his old doc who seemingly has retired. :rofl: He was burnt out. :yes: )
This psoriasis is a different animule tho. :sigh: I agrees that he may need a biologic to get over the hump. :gheart:
Awful....bad...nasty...nothing comes close to describing just how wicked it has gotten. This may be the second roller coaster hill from my dream. :yes: Yesterday he used the halobetosol (desperate) on both lower legs then wrapped them in saran wrap & then lightly in ace bandages. He said he felt relief & slept well for the first time in a week. This morning he said the skin melted off in the shower :eek: & he used only the cetaphil...no wrappings & it still felt much much better. I am curious to see how it progresses next. :uhoh:
Any thoughts on which of the big guns is the lesser evil? Don't spend time researching. :nonono:
My simple :brain: tends to think that the ones you inject monthly are less harmful iffin they 'wear off' in a month.
I don't recall which was which (plus there are new ones now) but I does know that at least one of them was a 3 month injection...the other was monthly.
And I noes they suppress T-cell which I also read was one of the primary factors in whether peoples got mild covid or bad covid. :sigh: :dunno:
Happy New Moon, Y'all! :rstars:

"I am optimystic about today's visit. :wiggle: "
Yeeeah ... kinda doubtful iffen it's just a nurse practitioner ... I'm just hoping she sez stop the statin :yes:
Best case scenario is a coronary calcification scan that can be evaluated next to the original cath lab data :yes:
Otherwise I'm guessing just some medicine juggling :sigh:
As for biologics :woe: NO any of the options would be bad right now ... psoriasis has a direct link to cholesterol and triglyceride balance as well as those self-lipid—reactive T-cells. Srsly B's body is out of balance and while biologics will likely get rid of the psoriasis issue it will almost certainly have a negative impact on his :heart: :sofa:
"Dyslipidemia is the imbalance of lipids such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This condition can result from diet, tobacco exposure, or genetic and can lead to cardiovascular disease with severe complications." Link (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560891/)
Psoriasis Linked to High Cholesterol Levels, Study Finds
K above is the information ya needz to unerstanz my perspective :yes:
B has a genetic disposition to vascular suckage only it's not a direct link :nono: the bad ffuts happened because of prolonged tobacco use aka Dyslipidemia.
In other wurdz smoking threw his cholesterol :balance: and triglyceride levelz out and eventually produced a lipid-antigen to which his T-cell developed reactivity towards aka "self-lipid—reactive T-cells" which is the autoimmune bit that instigates the psoriasis.
To make thangs worser tobacco is also a vasoconstrictor that additionally reduces vascular elasticity and promotes arterial hardening including calcificationing. The thang is there are different types of calcificationing ... on one hand you have lipids with calcium depositing, you also have the potential for blood calcium adding onto plaques and lastly, there is the possibility that the arterial cells transform to what is essentially bone producing osteocytes.
Oooops fergetted to post a thang for that ... try this ... :oz:
SO ... :whatever: ... all together ... yes smoking is bad :yes: but more importantly we don't noes the state or type of calcification :nono: BUT what we does noes is that biologics will reduce the efficiency and usefulness of the doog HDL as well as retarding its ability to reduce inflammation. ALL bad thangs :uhoh:
Agin My Opinion ... git off the statins :buttkick: and ... I cannot believe I'm sezing this :horror: ... go back on that no :tater: :woo: diet you was on afores :yes: It sucked :suck: but it was a healthy kinda :suck: :yes:
In the meantime try Wet wrap dressings as a rescue therapy option for erythrodermic psoriasis or atlest look into it :yes:
Oh also use Hibiclens when washing the effected area ... just to ward off secondary infections 'n such :angel:
Oh and I have these thangs ... 6 Packs Cooling Towels <= Amazon Link ... which I donated to a friend needing the wet wrap therapy :angel: They werk well as the "wet wrap" part and are easier to wash and reuse :oz:
That said try the wet wrap therapy with what you got first to make sure it werks.

Thanks you so much. :luvcry: You provided a wealth information.
She was a pint-sized ball of energy who entered the room like a :twister: :rofl:
But easy to talk to and most importantly, she listened.
She had made up her mind before we got there that she was referring him to an interventional cardiologist.
This guy: https://healthcare.ascension.org/doctors/1831410646/jimmy-l-kerrigan-nashville-tn
She thinks the 100% blocked one may be causing the Afib, she called it, but says Jimmy's the guy to figure it out. And she says, he gots all the high-tech toys & know-how. :yes:
And soon as he said weight gain, ankle swelling & psoriasis flare she said, "Atorvastatin! Just stop taking that."
He says, "I already did" & she says, "Good".Then she says "let's not take anything more than needed right yet.".
Then she talked about how she, too, sees little connection between cholesterol numbers & heart ffuts but that they were hoping the statin would do what a beta blocker could. and more :blah: :blah:
Then after hearing more about the episodes she prescribed an emergency-only nitroglycerin. :sigh:
The new doc's office will call & then likely set up a telemed for the initial visit to see what he says.
The NP says he will NOT do anything at all unless he really studies it, but she said his specialty is chronic 100% blocked arteries.
Next step. :wiggle:
And the saran wrap/ace bandage/steroid ointment was pretty much a redneck wet wrap. :chuckle: :righton:
Maybe our way is a bit more doable. The other was 2x-4x a day for an hour each time. Inneresting ifo tho. :righton:
His legs look 50% better after the overnight saran wrap. :cheer: Maybe that or a wet wrap or 2 or so just as soon as we get a chance. :wiggle:
And no :tater: ?? :no: For reals? :rofl:
I haven't fully decided it it made a difference in me or not yet. I maybe haven't eaten enough nightshades as of yet cuz it's just since Christmas that we've gone slack. :dunno: But if it makes a difference for him then it's really no problem to let them go... :tomato:
Definitely on board with the 80% fruits & veggies 20% grains & proteins though. :wiggle: That definitely makes me feel better.
It's tough to maintain. :shera:
:broccoli:

"She had made up her mind before we got there that she was referring him to an interventional cardiologist."
Ok those are the catheter guyz which is doog :yes: BUT he wont do nuthin to the 100% blocked artery :nonono: That has a bypass under construction and other than :check: the progress which would be really nice to noes :yes: it's gonna be hands off and let the body does what it does and come back later iffen it still hasn't finished.
The 40% blocked ... now that's where this guy could shine :thumbs:
Iffen he stopped the Atorvastatin how long ago was that? It's 3 daze for a normal dose to clear but prolonged usage will require more time ... statins are both hydrophilic and lipophilic and the clearing it from the fatty tissue will take longer ... as well as pooled residue in the feetz which requires lymph drainage. All in all yer lookin at 2 to 3 weeks for the swelling ... the psoriasis is gonna be the tricky one ... I'm hoping it clears right away or atleast begins to.
Ok yes the saran over ace bandages is kind of like a wet wrap BUT I doubt the bandages were wetted :whistle:
It's gonna depend on each person and how they does thangs BUT while most of the psiency papers on using wet wraps focus on the steroidal creams doing the werk it's most likely a combination of thangs with the continuously moist skin "cooling" the inflammation and by cooling I'm not just referring to temperature but the inflammatory arachidonic acid cascade which tends to keep the problem burning.
In other wurdz some people effect control without steroids or moisturizer ... just wet wrapping :yes:
FYI: Moist wounds heal much faster with less scarring than "Dry" wounds :yes: but only if you can keep the area free of bacteria and yeast :blob:
Psoriasis and eczema "can" often be slowed or reversed with just wet wrapping. My dad needed the wet wrap a couple of times :yes: now he just noes to wrap a moist towel around his {usually ankle} for about an hour, then moisturize and he's done :angel:
What about the isosorbide is he off that too?
Did B ask the oblivious question ... could the swelling and weight gain be reason for the episodes ... 'cuz I was thinking :yes:
Oh and what evidence of an actual arrhythmia is there? I'm betting there isn't one just a variation in beat frequency when the heart is in spaz mode :wtf:
And yes I am of the belief that :b: is :egg: actly the same {-ish} as when he went through cath lab ... eberythang since then is statin :horror: related :fist:
As for diet ... honestly it doesn't really matter ... any healthy diet would be fine BUT the no :tater: one was designed for psoriasis and rather limiting. What makes that last bit useful is that his body was on it for a long time and did well with it so it's cholesterol reducing and sufficient for his neads.
Oh and B does NOT need beta blockers :slap: they reduce the force and speed of each :heart: pump, his :heart: already beats slooow and his BP isn't actually high :nono: PLUS his heart gains elasticity with forceful beats AND it inspires the bypass to git built faster. No beta blockers or alternatives :buttkick: 'cept for emergency use :yes:

Nah, she said, as did the doc, that beta blockers were the usual MO but NOT for him due to slow heartrate. :check:
She also said she'd never had a patient with 'episodes' like B due to the statin. The other symptoms got a real quick YES..
Her gut said that the blocked area was the cause & that maybe the collaterals were not as mature as required &/or they missed something. She said the location of the blockage (right posterior) would definitely lend itself to triggering the tachycardia & BP spikes....the arrhythmia (she agreed with me) was most likely the heart freaking out for oxygen then trying to slow itself down.
AND..she said it's quite possible that covid triggered the episodes tho she has not (yet) seen this particular variation...usually it's just tachycardia with covid long haul. She said we "definitely" all had covid unless we were in a literal bubble cuz it was so widespread around here.
But regardless, it needs to be looked at further. :yes:
As for the 30-40% blockage she says they do not cause symptoms til they reach at least 60%.
And that it was just an area to monitor.
She also said the lisinopril was technically unnecessary but an 'insurance policy' as that the 5mg was negligible.
And yes to continue with the isosorbide nitrate...for now.
We stressed/he stressed that he wants to be on as little medication as possible & we told her about the diet & she :sigh: ed & said, "I wish I was more like you. That's awesome". (She was about 5' tall & was quite overweight) But she totally believed that diet would affect she just said she'd never seen anyone around here that could resist barbecue or fried foods. :laugh:
It's been 4 days since stopping the atorvastatin. The swelling is down, the psoriasis is still markedly improved. :cheer:
It was axshully a PA who we loved (she moved to Colorado :sigh: ) who recommended the saran wrap over steroids but she said DO NOT do it too often due to the increased absorption of steroid. I had forgotten about it til Sunday afternoon.
She was a back packer & said she'd carry plastic wrap to speed up the healing of any potential injuries or even bug bites.
From the new guy's bio:
She says he will study every word in the chart & then go over the cath lab film frame by frame before making a recommendation.
He & I are both glad someone is looking further He still feels like something else is borked. Same as when he felt like he had a blockage & nobody else believed him. I feel it IS possible that something was missed cuz they prejudged him as "fine" before even cateterizing him. Plus...the cath lab was an assembly line of patients & B was the very last. Last one in...last one to leave the lab.
Or maybe they aggravated something? I recall Doc Gibson saying, 'I told them to stick a pin in it (the blockage) & it was hard like cement so we decided it better to not mess with it & possibly make it worse'. :eek:
:horn: ENERGIES!!! They said they'd "had a day" at the Heart Center & everybody was quite wound up for the end of the workday. I was so drained I went to bed before B, at 8PM. :offtobed: Before that I'd had a quite lovely, although busy, day. :farmninja:

"
The "collaterals" are definitely not mature but the location {right posterior} doesn't really mean anything :nono: ANY part of the heart getting insufficient oxygen will trigger angina. Depending on the severity tach and BP :bump: just comes next.
BUT Finally :yesss: Right Posterior coronary artery ... k that's helpful :yes: it's a "minor" {aka less major :dunno: } secondary artery that's blocked any idea where the 40% blockage is? 'cuz I was worried it was the LAD Artery {left anterior descending artery} ... that's the most common blocked artery ... and it's a bad one to block :sofa:
"As for the 30-40% blockage she says they do not cause symptoms til they reach at least 60%.
And that it was just an area to monitor. "
:woe: First of all she shoulda thunked perchance it hit the 60% mark :fist: secondly and more importantly you should completely ignore this bit of info :buttkick:
It's only correct for sedentary persons, active people will frequently notice angina like symptoms with even a relatively small 10% reduction BUT it will also depend where the slowdown is :uhoh:
Ok I admit she seems like an otherwise doog and surprisingly knowledgeable nurse practitioner :thumbs: Just keep in mind their/her :egg: perience and :egg: perties applies mostly to non-B type patients and her knowledge does not likely :egg: tend to those also combating severe psoriasis :therethere:
The lisinopril is a type of ACE Inhibitor and while a small amount "may"provide some :heart: safety it still effects the hormone Angiotensin and ALL hormones have feedback loops. Personally I would :buttkick: this one too :yes: 'cuz it's a known thang associated with psoriasis flare ups :sofa:
To be fair it's likely only those with a predisposed psoriasis genetic factor that need to avoid ACE inhibitors ... BUT I just don't like messing with hormones iffen the hormones are not causing the problem :nonono:
As for beta blockers ...
"Then she talked about how she, too, sees little connection between cholesterol numbers & heart ffuts but that they were hoping the statin would do what a beta blocker could. and more :blah: :blah:"
K iffen they realize B doesn't need and shouldn't be given beta blockers why would they want a statin to does what a beta blocker would do :scratch: That statement is senselos :dunno:
The covid trigger on the other hand ... :hmm2: yeah that's an inerestin point :yes: ... there is a lot of data that shows :heart: conditions and cardiovascular problems :bump: ing by up to 75%.
The thang is those are comorbidity stats ... as in iffen you has X and git covid yer chance of issue increases by Y. B on the other hand is less cardiovascularly impaired and more like healthy but injured ... basically he was prolly skeery close to the otherside then gotted better :yes: only there are 2 points not yet healed.
So iffen you think of the covid as causing a base myocarditis ... which most people will not notice then with B's condition that actually makes a lot of sensicalz :yes: There's virtually no way to tell for sure ... I don't recommend getting a :heart: sample for testing :horror: ... but yeah that does fit :yes:
Though iffen it's true :horn: stay away from biologics :uhoh:
Most covid related :heart: and nerve issues self-resolve in a few months BUT can last more than a year.
Back when he was injured and thunked eberythang was related to that how long ago was that AND how long was it after stopping biologics>
Also on the timeline when was it that he got that covid test for his then new boj? :hmm2:
"It's been 4 days since stopping the atorvastatin. The swelling is down, the psoriasis is still markedly improved. :cheer:"
Ok that's great :thumbs: but how long and how frequently was he taking the statin afores stopping?
"She was a back packer & said she'd carry plastic wrap to speed up the healing of any potential injuries or even bug bites. "
Yeah Do NOT Use plastic wrap on bug bites :woe: At best it's to maximize penetration of an anti inflammatory and/or keep blood flow to a peripheral area in cold conditions.
Also try not to us saran on psoriasis wet wraps :nono: Plastic is used to keep moisture in and eberythang else dry, I personally think using the wet wrap open air and allowing the area to cool down is often what is helpful. What you want to avoid is warm moist areas breeding :blob: and causing secondary infections :horror:
Anywho I highly doubt they missed anything :nono: IFFEN there is sumthin missed it's sumthin that didn't show in the test results OR beyond the purview of cardiology.
I am of the belief that the only thang B needs is that 40% occlusion decluded ... that and some time ... and no durt ... wife upgrade :whistle:

Coinkidinks! :buttkick:
Wife upgrade! :buttkick:
:gaah: :bsl:
It's headed to 75 again so I gotta :run: :chuckle:
The first inkling something was wrong was in 2/2020 when his BP spiked & even the ER had trouble getting it down. He had a cardio appt set for March or April 2020 but the the pandemic hit & he was cancelled.
The initial 'injury' was December 2020 & he was in pretty bad shape for 3+ months. He'd had no biologic since April 2020(?) I wanna say
The covid likely event was in September 2021 but there was another time we were slightly sick...around Thanksgiving cuz B & I gotted tested.
I think I've convinced him not to does the biologic. He is so vastly improved still that he's not yearning for it as before. :yes:
Elsewise...he still has angina & low mojo but still no episodes since 2/19.
Elsewise, elsewise... 75 & sunny all week... :bliss:
Yesterday I cut back some :butterfly: bushes then went to Mom's & picked up dead wood (she has a LOT) & then cut back her pampas grasses. Then... I camed home & made turkey pot :pie: with a very doog crust made from whole wheat flour, coconut oil & salt. :yes: I've cut him off from butter. :chuckle:
Energies are still massively unsettled. :wtf: :wtf:
Find me in the gardens... :leisa: :spring:

Yeah, I like these new peoples tending :b: :thumbs:
:sigster: has my backing about 85%. I'm not adding to the mix cuz I wants to wait and see. :hmm2:
Butter. It's a thing. :sigh: Have you thought about a plant based butter? Country Crock makes a great one that has an olive oil base. That's my go to butter. They also make almond and avocado based ones, but I'm not as sold on the taste. The almond one is sweeter; good perhaps for baking. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter makes a horrible plant butter. Don't get that one. Earth Balance also makes a plant based butter, and it's the one my oldest likes best. I don't mind it, but I feel like the taste is slightly off.

I am making tofusalmon for tonight with steamed asparagus, brown rice, and maybe a green side salad. Lots of greens :huh:
I'm excited because it's a very creative and artistic recipe, new to me. It was fun so far putting it together, and will be in its marinade for a good 8 hrs before I cook it. Them nori sheets is magikal. Next attempt is sushi. Except I don't have a mat. So we shall see.
Cold here. But, it's supposed to warm up over the weekend. It's that time of year where I'm over it. Winter needs to go away.

Oh my gosh! That tofu salmon was amazing! :wub:
So, any ideas about sushi? Vegan fillers? I'm hearing a lot about english cucumbers, avacados, and spicey tofu tuna...

Ok in all fairness I don't think :b: has ANY cholesterol related clogginesses :nono: So on that front I doubt biologics have anythin to does with the calcificationating :nono: However, the immune suppressing "can" depending on the biologic last for anywhere from 3 months ... after the last dose clears ... to a year apparently ... BUT based on the timeline prolly isn't a covid factor :nono:
Now IFFEN :b: really wants the biologics ... it's most likely "fine" 'cuz like I said the calcifications are not typical clogs :nono: AND it's very unlikely marginally high cholesterol levels play any real factor :nono: That said reasons to avoid biologics is immune suppression with a :heart: condition is not a great decision :whistle: BUT also the reduced HDL efflux capacity and reduced anti-inflammatory effects mean the growding bypass system is more at risk and the closing artery "may" close faster, even without cholesterol levelz :bump: ing :whistle:
Finally iffen covid is a factor in the more recent anginaizing then most likely it's from an infection in the last 6 months or so :yes: BUT like I said afores there's no simple way to say yes or no on that one 'cept by getting a :heart: sample ... not recommended :whistle: However, it may still be a factor :yes: and mild myocarditis could asplain the pronounced angina and more dramatic episodes :yes:
If the intensity of the angina timez goes down over time, I'd say a definite maybe to the covid hypothesis :yes: BUT once the weight and swelling goes :bye: those should also dial thangs down :thumbs:
The thang is from the cath lab info and time ... B "should" :egg: sperience periodic angina ... predominantly during or just after :egg: sertion ... and it should be relatively minor and mimic what one feelz after hitting the :wall: during :egg: sercize. That's actually a doog thang and will push the :heart: to more urgently build the bypass :thumbs: And I'm purty sure this is what :heart: doc #1 was both :egg: pectin and recommended with his :egg: sercize :heart: rate targets :yes:
Anywho the nurse is prolly woried that the bypass is cloggy 'cuz it's a smaller channel ... it's not cloggy :nono: ... but that's what they are used to :roll: AND it's still doog to :check: :yes: Keep in mind that tanassi is basically the buckle for the diabetes and :heart: disease belt ... and B's condition is technically a clinical marker of atherosclerosis ... fortunately he is an outlier ... while he has the blockages he doesn't has the vascular impairment that typically goes along with it :nono:
So doog to :check: :thumbs: but my monies on no change and statins are the werk of :basementcat:

"I am making tofusalmon for tonight ..."
Wait is that like tofurkey :turkey: or tofu with salmon 'cuz the later I unerstanz ... vegan salmon on the other hand is intriguing :yes: if not a :horror: ... just sayin :whistle:
Plant based butter :horror:
K 'cept for cooking I prerfer european style butter aka cultured butter :liplick:
Plant based butter on the other hand is just oil, ~15% water and emulsifiers and thickeners.
Um yeah so like always ... DIY vegan butter isn't hard :nono: ... and yes I've made them :ashamed: ... coconut based is the easiest BUT iffen there is an oil you like like avocado :thumbs: I recommend adding Almond flour :yes: a splash of vinegar for tartness, nutritional yeast for complexity and a pich of turmeric for colour ... yer basically in the zone. I liked adding a pinch of salt and vegan approved MSG along with a dollop of coconut cream. This will put you in the area of people not being able to tell it's not butter when put on bread :yes:
Other than that for vegan and vegetative friends I've also made olive tapenades and various nut based + oil spreads including siguie brand vegan :mayo: but made from chickpeas ... and thickened up to be more buttery :yes:

That's my :sigster: makin' his own plant butter. :wub:
I like the sweeter ones made with almonds and coconut for baking. But for :popcorn: and cooking stuffs, I prefer the olive oil base.
So, here is the salmon tofu recipe. https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-salmon/ I love it! I'm going to experiment with it. Maybe make it for the sushi but a little spicier. 8)
For :mayo: I use Hellman's Vegan. :thumbs:
":no: I am about 85% appalled and morally outraged :fist: "
I sure seem to be givin' you :no: a lot these days. :rofl:

:woe: that's literally tofu made to very vaguely look like salmon :roll:
Nigh identical to Tofu Pups :woe: ... I was wunderin how they git the salmon flavour into tofu :hmm2: Apparently 1 they don't :pullhair:
You and prolly the dirty one should really has a soy/nut milk maker :yes: once you make soy milk tofu is purty easy :yes:
Oh and iffen you make yer own tofu curds it's easy to add flavour afores doesing the press :yes:
"For :mayo: I use Hellman's Vegan. :thumbs: "
:wubsigh: that's the ffuts I liked enough to copy :thumbs:
Though over here on the West coast Hellmans is "Best dooFs" :yes:
Oh and they use powdered :peas: ... the trick is making sure the "powder" is fine enough afores hydrating OR hydrating and pureeing ... this is all to make sure it's smooooth :yes:
It's also easy and cheap :yes: and lends itself well to siguie brand garlicked :mayo: :liplick: and a siguie standard sriracha :mayo: both of which go incredibly well with siguie blackened not fake :carp: salmon ... on siguie brand brioche :butt: ... I mean buns :rimshot:
Mmmmm so tasty :wubsigh: and so theoretically close to healthy :happydance:
"I sure seem to be givin' you :no: a lot these days. :rofl: "

Thanks! :righton: for the plant butter link. And it's in stock in Paris! :faint: The first ingredients were palm, then canola oils... :dunno: I'm try to avoid canola & have read mixed ffutses about palm so I usually avoid that. :sigh: But no more than we/he consume it may be better than butter for sure. :yes:
I am seriously cleaning up our already clean diet (for the umpteenth time :rofl: ) And Both B & J are on board. :wig: :gle:
I told them they can eat whatever they wants when we go out (which is infrequent :laugh: )
All the affordable olive oil products usually start with canola. :sigh: I noes it's to keep it affordable (& profitable) but...
Jacki's pancreas can't handle canola oil. It's the KEMIKILLS I'm certain. :gaah:
Speaking of...our :bee: :bee: are :missing: I hadn't thunk til now that maybe it's the beautiful rapeseed (Canola) fields around here that done em in. :candle: It's ok...and likely meant to be. He was a good :bee: daddy when he had time & felt doog. :wubsigh: But he had not been inside the hives in prolly 2 years. :eek:
Elsewise...
Still highs of 75 & close to 80 outside for 2 more days... :bliss2:
Gonna enjoy the end of vacation. :elfparty: Then Monday begins with rain & drops back down to lamron 50/60s
We grilled tofu & chicken & baked sweet potato last night.
I do love the 70's tho. :hippy: :afro: :peace:
:nickel: I just saw sig! :ashamed:
And then remembered the pea protein :mayo: he was making every few days. :woe:
Theoretically :p could one use :pea: protein with olive oil & salt for a faux butter? Or maybe a bit of coconut oil to help it stay set (refrigerated only :p )

Well there's this, but it's expensive. :hmm2:
Miyoko is an upscale brand name in the vegan world. It may be hard to find where you are. I've found that Target and Wegmans carry Miyoko products.

Tomorrow it's supposed to get into the 60's. :happydance:

:gaah: you peoplez are killin me :wall:
:asiel: other than a :wheee: tiny bit of trans fat the only "bad" thang in canola oil is Erucic Acid which is only bad iffen you believe the :carp: 70's study that wasn't even done on people :woe:
Anywho erucic acid is also present in mustard oil which is why tech :nickel: ly you cannot buy mustard oil for cooking ... you has to buy it for massage or skin/hair porpoises and it's only available in international markets ... in the cooking aisle :hysterical:
Fer realz it's not just stoopid it's annoyingly stoopid :fist:
Other than that canola oil just sucks :unthumbs: srsly it has a high smoke point but it makes eberythang smell and taste like (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) ... though now that I thinxz of it :hmm2: I noes a :carp: tofu recipe that would benefit from them (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) y properties :yes:
FYI: :bee: s like mustard and rapeseed just fine :buttkick:
BTW: :bee: hives only live 2 to 3 years on average ya knucklehead :buttkick:
Pan don't buy :carp: that has "vegan" in the name it's just marketing and search term optimizing for people who search for thangs like "vegan butter" :woe: Miyokos even pays google to prioritize them for searches containing the wurdz vegan and vegetarian when combined with the wurd butter :roll: Srsly though who searches for Vegetarian Butter :wall:
K so a quick ride in the way back machine :norway: ... does anyone recall me saying sumthen like ... "next you need to learn about infused oils " ... Anyone ? :dunno:
:wall:
:sigh:
Fine :hmm:
First you should research oils in particular edible ones with characteristics that you want. For instance olive oil why are you focused on it? :dunno: Is it the relative amounts of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats or are you looking at the antioxidant effects. 'cuz the better the oil the lower the antioxidants ... fer realz :yes: I used to has a source for cheap grade C olive oil :wubsigh:
Grade C is "unfit for human consumption without further processing" ... that further processing is just fine mesh filtering ... but it was Great ffuts and made the bestest falafels :thumbs:
Anywho "butter" is just a convenient oil source emulsified with 15% water. If you want something to spread on toast use a flavoured oil, iffen it's for cooking use the oil.
Iffen you unerstanz the properties you want you can easily design and make whatever "butter" you want.
As for :peas: protein butter, yeah prolly ... I hasn't done it but iffen that's what you want it's doable. I licks :mayo: 'cuz it's tart BUT you can easily add a little more :peas: protein to thicken it up. Olive oil is green which tends to make people think it's guac and not mayo but iffen yer not using :egg: then the acid isn't doesing much accept flavour so yeah go for it :yes:
The thang is most people have this odd obsession with "butter" being in stick form and being room temp spreadable :roll: Iffen that's what the both of you are going for then the :secret: ingredient ... AND ... purty much what I think :asiel: is looking for ... ya noes in all the wrong places :roll: ... Oh wait did I mention I use it frequently? :matt: ... oh wait where was I :scratch: ... du du DUHHHH :secret: Lecithin :drama: :faint:
K here's the ffuts I currently has Organic Sunflower Lecithin (https://amzn.to/3twse9s) <= Amazon Link ... only it's the 8oz version. Iffen you :check: out the link there's a much better version of coconut based vegan butter, plus you can see the other ffutses.
Here's the thang you only need a :wheee: tiny bit so my 8 oz bottle still looks full. For comparison :egg: s contain lecithin on average about 125mg aka 0.125g or about 1/8th of a millilitre of water aka about 2 drops. It's a super duper strong emulsifier :flex: :superman:
In large enough amounts it tastes a little bit :stun: but mostly I've never noticed :nono:
That said there are generally 2 types of lecithin commercially available soy and :sunflower: I use the :sunflower: type 'cuz it's liquid ... the soy one is powder. That said yes there are differences :yes: in both cooking and health but I don't use the ffuts 'cuz I has like 8oz still :whistle: but here's a link ...

Iffen I somehow went thru all 8oz and wanted to git more I'd prolly git Now Foods Sunflower Liquid Lecithin, 16 Fl Oz (https://amzn.to/3hNyiER) <= Amazon Link ... it's not organic but like I care :dunno: and it's twice as much for the same price :thumbs:
This is way overpriced BUT I've been told it works :egg: tremely well AND it's sumthin neither of you are ready for BUT would no doubt enjoy ... Magical Butter Machine MB2E Botanical Extractor (https://amzn.to/3vIYrgq).

I've tried a couple of the Miyoko products and honestly, I'm not a fan. I didn't think they were all that superior. When it comes to plant-base cheeses, I'm a big fan of Follow Your Heart. As far as a ready-made ricotta, I really like Tofutti. ( Yes, I could make these on my own, but it takes time to do, and I want to do with my time other things. 8) ) Yeah, yeah, grammar. But it kinda sounded like yoda so I left it. :D
Yeah, that whole "vegan" label doesn't impress me either. I read ingredients. Morningstar is a famous one for that. :roll:
I think that the "fishy" taste in the faux salmon is in the nori sheet used in the marinade. That can be amped up a bit by adding a bit of seaweed/kelp powder.
Well it's 47F and early in the morning. This is a good sign, that we really are going to be up in the 60's today. :bliss:

My WOE is Low Carb High Fat. I have been type 2 diabetic since about 1989 and diet controlled and find it is the best lifestyle.

That's awesome that you are diet controlled. :hi5:
I believe diet is the key to healing everything. :yes: It's just that some things require a much bigger commitment. I now of peoples who healed their daughter's jaw cancer by feeding her mass quantities of organic green juices & smoothies. Mostly vegetables. But it was a massive commitment in time & preparation that so many people won't/don't/can't make.
My WOE is feeding 3 of us ideal diets whilst not having to make 3 separate meals. :woe:
Thankfully, I love to cook. :wiggle:
Sig... I amember you talking about finishing oils. :therethere: :hugs: I really really do. :yes:
The thing with oils for us is that I noes intuitively, as well as having had an energy reader consult for Jacki, that certain oils make her pancreas happier. :yes:
Jacki does well with :sunflower: , coconut, olive, avocado, almond, sesame (to a lesser degree) & peanut (to a lesser degree).
The psoriasis book said that B oughta practically drink olive oil & he really could. :chuckle: He just loves it that much. (Past life, or genetics, I'm sure). He is ok with all the aforementioned oils as well not I just look for the :heart: healthiest.
As long as I stay away from known inflammatory foods (like anything fried or pork fat) then I am fine.
:sunflower: is the most affordable. :yes: And then sometimes I get :sparkle: speshul :sparkle: oils at Tommy's (the Asian guy's non-Asian store :p ) so we use whatever I gets. Like recently he had a few avocado oils with lime. :huh: Not my first choice but it was at least 60% off retail so I boughted it. :yes: It's axshully quite nice on a salad. :yes:
I ramble...
we're busy doing plant ffuts today & I've started & stopped this post 3 times since morning so I really has no idea what I said. :rofl:

:chuckle: yeah yeah I noes I'm just that guy who wants to be able to make my own anythang :matt: BUT :thwack: srsly vegan butter is soooo stoopid easy "time" is NOT a reason :buttkick: Fer realz :yes: just git a butter sized ramekin, scoop in the ingredients and nuke it for a minute or two ... give it a stir and yer done :thumbs:
Anywho my standard siguie brand butter is basically a mix of coconut oil, and olive oil ... 'cept I melt 'n mix them together on low heat with crushed garlick, a pinch of cayenne and a pinch of turmeric then just afores I pour/decant it I add about 2 tsp {8g} of powdered nutritional yeast.
There's no milk or cream added so no lecithin needed :nono: it's not butter it's siguie brand BtB { :secret: Better than Butter} :flex: AND it's really doog on toast :yes: It's also spreadable and doesn't require refrigeration :nono: PLUS tastes really doog on siguie brand toast ... yes I make my own bread ... no time :whatever: ... you sleep too much :pillow:
FYI: The Bestest eber faux butter ... replace most of the olive oil with bacon drippings mmmmm :liplick: AMAZING on siguie brand biscuits. Also the bestest compound butter 1/2 real butter, 1/4 bacon grease, 1/4 Wagyu fat, then of course crushed garlick and a pinch of cayenne. Rolled and refrigerated then sliced and dropped on a freshly grilled siguie brand :cow: product ... it's AMAZING :drool: but perchance not the healthiest of butterz :whistle:
Oh right what I was gonna sez afores ... Miyoko's is just a marketing firm ... their products appear to be cheap low end :carp: sold for way more than their value so :unthumbs:
As for the faux :carp: tofu ...
"That can be amped up a bit by adding a bit of seaweed/kelp powder."
Yes a doog furikake is always a plus :yes: AND of course I make my own :moon: BUT I don't think it tastes like (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) :dunno:
Oh cool so you are using a ketogenic pathway as an alternative to carbs in order to avoid that whole insulin thang neat :thumbs:
You should weigh in on the cholesterol/triglyceride debate :yes: Basically yer LCHF {Low Carb High Fat} diet is often avoided by doctors in the literature because it goes against common guidelines BUT typically raises both cholesterol AND triglycerides BUT the HDL bump is so high that the anti-inflammatory response fixes a lot of problems AND is often suggested for people with psoriasis.
I use the wurd suggested instead of recommended 'cuz some studies show people on the diet may :egg: sacerbate psoriasis. However, during a severe psoriasis flare up switching to ketogenisis is often a doog thang to calm thangs down :yes:
Ooooh and what's yer take on coconut oil and xylitol? :share:
"Sig... I amember you talking about finishing oils. :therethere: :hugs: I really really do. :yes: "
:woe: That was me asplaining that yer :bee: s wax is actually a valuable commodity and how siguie brand Finishing Oil is 3 parts :bee: s wax 1 part Boiled Linseed Oil and a sploosh of siguie brand citrus oil :roll:
Finishing oils are not doof ... or atleast not for those outside of The Culinary Wasteland :nono:
Doof related oils I've mentioned are the "aroma oils" for siguie brand Ramen and of course many of the asian flavour oils like siguie brand hot chili oil, dark garlicked oil and of course simple onion oil :liplick: for cooking not hair :afro: ... though perchance for J ack i :dunno:
"The thing with oils for us is that I noes intuitively, as well as having had an energy reader consult for Jacki, that certain oils make her pancreas happier. :yes: "
Oh yeah there ya goes intiut the info and double :check: it with a :woo: NRGizer :rabbit: instead of just googling what is already well known information OR just asking Mr.NoesItALL who could tellz you the difference between oils that are tolerated and which ones induce a cellular change to reduce chronic pancreatitis :roll:
<sarcasm> Doog Boj ! :pey: </sarcasm>
:flyball:
:tomato: Yeah yeah ok first of all whether you intuit or google it yer basically choosing High Oleic Acid oils for their effect on cell membranes which just happens to mitigate inflammation especially the pancreas type :moon: This is the same for hydroxytyrosol which does a better boj and also happens to be in ... you guessed it Olive Oil :clap:
Of course the oleic acid bit also lowers LDL as well as triglyceride levelz ... so obliviously yer one stop shopping choice is Olive Oil. Though :sunflower: is a doog option too as well as Avocado :yes:
Agin we of course went over why coconut is so doog and that's 'cuz it's roughly half MCT oils which doesn't require bile from the pancreas :secret: it can be passively absorbed :yes:
Have you heard how 70% of US olive oil is fake? :faint: That's a myth lots of it is adulterated BUT they say what it is on the bottle. Of course the US gits the lowest quality olive oil 'cuz most americanz have terrible taste and don't noes any better :whistle:
Which brings us to avocado oil :yes: STOP buying lime flavoured avocodo oil as well as any other oil from yer asian non-asian store :buttkick: Srsly it's prolly well oxidized :yes: Avocado Oil is great ffuts but it only lasts 8 months when stored properly in a fridge. Flavoured avocado oil is to disguise the rancid funk :whistle:
I don't refrigerate mine :nono: but I buy small bottles and use it up within a month or so :yes:
Agin noes yer oilz :buttkick:
For cheaps :sunflower: is a doog durt fambily choice :yes: along with coconut especially with the MCT boost :thumbs:
For the other benefits of olive oils I recommend that whole Siguie Tested (https://www.psifly.com/siguie/tested/generate.pgz?pick=3:0:0-homemade_olive_leaf_extract) thang :yes:
FYI: Olive Leaf and Hibiscus tea is an :egg: cellent choice for the durt fambily ailments :yes: AND sweetened with xylitol also doog :thumbs:
In other newses ... siguie brand :coffee: is AMAZING :happydance:
It's :sun: day so I'm fully caught up on sleep :flex: BUT the :coffee: is sooo doog :wubsigh: I had to make some espresso drinkz :happydance:

I have been LCHF for about 2 years and all my labs are good and in range! But yes I did my research because many doctors can't understand lipid profile panels and don't test for sdLDL. If anyone is interested I follow A/Prof. Ken Sikaris an Australian Pathologist; he is very informative.

"Ooooh and what's yer take on coconut oil and xylitol?"
I don't use vegetable oils. I prefer avocado oil but use both olive oil in dressings and mayo (not heated) and coconut oil. I like erythritol over xylitol my fav is allulose for caramel sauce. I make my own egg/lupin flour pasta with sodium alginate and calcium lactate.

The olive leaf thingy was inneresting tho. I has a ricer. :p
And the faux butter thangamagig.
I noes what to buy & what not to buy at Tommy's. :wiggle: Most of the time.
The avocado oil was there becuz the labels was smeared. Likely a bottle in the case has borked.
I look for very recent or future dates, as well as still factry sealed.
GG, your diet would put my daughter in the hospital. :yes: And maybe my husband, too. :rofl:
I totally believe that it works for you & your specific needs.

Spoo! I forgot to mention that :b: cancelled his dermatologist appointment becuz the psoriasis is THAT much better! :faint: :cheer:
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. In less than one week he had more improvement than with the biologics. His legs are practically clear. :faint: And truly, it's difficult to describe just how severe they were.
He wrapped the legs twice. Slept in surgical gloves once. That's all it took.
I also made him some vitamin oil...olive oil with Vit A, D & C in it...which he used after the first steroid wrap.
OF course, stopping the statin likely made it possible as well.
I am glad. I didn't want to see him add any more heavy meds to his regimin.

:horn: ENERGIES!!!
Yesterday we were all busy as :bee: :bee: :bee:
J was busy painting ceramic pots at one end of the table.
B was busy potting & re-potting multiple new plants & old at the island.
I was at the opposite end of the table busy sorting seeds (boy there are a LOt :faint: ) & pulling out what I want to plant soon. And then I planted a hydroponic :egg: speriment with a plastic lettuce container, rocks, rock wool & miscellaneous seeds.
Fast forward :run: I had showered & was starting dinner & B was going to go take a shower.
SUDDENLY I remembered the trash had to go to the road (1/4 mile). So we gathered trash & he left.
Meanwhile J & I were on an easter :egg: hunt for all the new pots he had made (many of them coffee cups/mugs).
Back to dinner prep & SUDDENLY I got concerned that B was not yet back from taking the trash out. I peeked out the window & saw the truck. I was just about to walk out there to check on him when he walked out of the bedroom. :huh: :huh:
I says, "Oh, there you are. Are you gonna take a shower now?"
He replies, "I just did.". :huh:
I said, "Huh? I did not see you come back from taking the trash out"
He says, "I walked right by you in the kitchen."
I says, "Huh?" :huh: :huh:
I totally 'lost time'. :norway: 20-30 minutes of time that I had no recollection of except I had done a fair amount of chopping & other dinner prep. :huh:
Very very strange.
Then last night I was awake. :wtf: Quite comfortable. Just buzzing through & through, restful though awake until his alarm went off at 4AM & then I went sound asleep til 7:20. :rofl:
All morning I have felt neither here nor there. :sparkle: Quite multi-dimensional. :ghost:
Feels like a marker of a big shift of some sort. :yes:

:horn: ghostghurl erythritol is ok I also tried it with monk fruit :yes: BUT xylitol also has a low GI {~7} but is very teeth friendly (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) ... it literally helps to git rid of Streptococcus Mutans {s.mutans} and is used along with ozone to heal {really :yes: } cavities :angel: Also I make huge amounts of xylitol candy so it's kind of a thang :yes: Also we has a Healing teeth thread here and siguie tested has a whole How To that I published 'cuz there were no doog how-to's on the interweb :oz:

I've been reading what I can find on Ken Sikaris (most of it is video & I can't watch that now.)
It seems very similar to the Pagano diet that dropped B's total cholesterol 100 pts in 9 months. :yes:
Emphasis on no sugar & limited (whole only) grains is the same. I didn't find enough other pertinent info to compare but I saw coconut/olive/palm oils. :yes: Lots of nuts & leafy greens. :yes:
We aimed for 80% veggies with a little fruit...high PH veggies in abundance.
20% protein & whole grains.
None of it caused me to lose weight though. :sigh: I think most the peoples who lose rapid weight on these type diets are letting go of processed/fast/convenience/junk foods. We haven't eaten that ffuts in years.
I just need to be more active. :run: In an organized way. :flex:
Very interesting for sure. :yes:

Somewhere someone needs help.
Send love.
It matters.
If you can't get there yourself,
Then take a deep breath.
Breathe in the weight of their troubles,
Breathe out and send all those burdens
into the Light
Where sorrows can be held
With the most tender and infinite grace.
Breathe in what you can do.
Breathe out what you can't change.
Spool out a thread of connection.
Send courage and calm.
For the nights can be long
And filled with shadows
And sometimes terrible
Unexpected waters will rise.
Somewhere someone needs help.
Send love.
It matters.

"None of it caused me to lose weight though. :sigh: I think most the peoples who lose rapid weight on these type diets are letting go of processed/fast/convenience/junk foods. We haven't eaten that ffuts in years. "
Yes, no and a little sprinkle of "maybe" :oz:
From previous episodes ya noes doctors are NOT psientists :nono: AND historically their advice has been :carp: ... that's why so many wrongly {my opinion} believe in order to be healthy cholesterol needs to be kept at specific levelz :roll: Likewise the belief that people should be at an ideal weight continuously ... I believe ... is agin wrong :yes: Not only should your weight fluctuate during the year depending on your age you should has a certain amount of fat :yes:
How muches does not correlate with opinions of social norms or personal body shape desires :therethere:
But back to the diet thang ... Pagani's no :tater: diet is just a modification of the "normal" US/European diet that as far as I can recall tries to quell typical inflammatory responses in particular those related to psoriasis ... and that's fine :yes:
Inflammatory responses initiate a large number of bad thangs including type 2 diabetes which statins are also known to promote. This is generally assumed to be done through un :egg: pected spikes in blood sugar. The fact that B :egg: perienced horrific psoriasis flares :horror: which is also an inflammatory response kinda shows that it's a drug doesing thangs people shouldn't be doesing :whistle:
That said a LHFC diet may do some thangs similar to the pagani diet BUT the point is to make more use of the alternative engine by entering a ketogenic state. Keep in mind that for the most part the alternative "engine" is OFF, to make use of it you first need to turn it ON. Eberyone is different and turning it ON may take longer or more intense conditions than others ... agin yer mileage may vary :oz:
The way to "see" that yer 2nd dairy engine is werken is to use pee strips to :check: for ketone presence ... fer realz (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif)
Once engine #2 is up and running the diet you choose can do a few thangs ... either keep #2 idling along with #1 which is a bit of a blancing act 'cuz #1 wants to run by itself and :buttkick: #2 OR go all in with #2 and put #1 in idle.
GhostGhurl went all in with #2 as a lifestyle which is purty impressive :beerme: 'cuz it's not easy :nono:
Here's the thang #1 runs on sugar/carbs and high blood sugar causes veins to loose elasticity, nerves to become glycosylated and generally bad thangs AND interestingly the same bad thangs associated with aging including :brain: issues, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, high bp, renal failure etc.
The neat thang is that engine #2 is literally associated with the opposite ... partially because it avoids that whole sugar/carb fiasco and lets the body cool down and fix them issues BUT there is also ... du du DUH ... autophagy ... yes the ffuts I went on about in the Hydrogen water topic :angel:
Now since I noes ghostghurl follows the non- :shiver: Wim Hof skool of thought :om: ... AND it was mentioned for B's sake ... it kinda brings eberythang back around.
"Yes, no and a little sprinkle of 'maybe' :oz: "
Yes :yes: many of those who lost weight did so by cutting out the processed doof :yes:
No :nono: changing diets alone rarely make a significant change in weight, however even small changes can significantly change ones health.
And the sprinkle of "maybe" ... following an LCHF diet for reasons other than weight loss is frequently very useful, as is going vegan :no: but while some changes are fast others may require significant time :therethere: especially if your digestive biome requirez a makeover :yes:
Lastly until ya noes what ketogenesis feelz like yer prolly not in it for any significant length of time so benefits including weight loss may be slooow :therethere:
Oh and afores you ask the oblivious question ... ya noes why not always stay in a ketogenic state? First ya need to make sure it's safe for you :yes: With diabetes there is sumthin known as ketoacidosis ... it mostly occurs for type 1 diabetics BUT can occur in type 2 AND it's basically when engine #1 runs out of insulin and yer body is too focused on running engine #2. Ya see engine #1 can neber be turned OFF just set to idle or some low rpm speed :angel:
SO ... :whatever: ... why not always stay in a ketogenic state ... some people do and that's fine :thumbs: However, there are stoopid ketogenic diets too ... which will make thangs worser long term though possibly different types of worserer :dunno:

Well my answer is ancestral evolution :yes: engine #2 is clearly best for winter doof when there are no froots and mostly animulez. During the lean times yer :brain: is more focused for hunting porpoises and your stored fat helps keep ya going.
This is also why rat studies show that eating 30% of normal gives you a longer lifespan ... autophagy :yes:
In general, and based on yer ancestral genetics, I thinxz most people should does the LCHF thang 3 months of the year for health porpoises. Along with 660nm + 850nm light therapy, molecular hydrogen water and deep breathing preferably with an oxygen concentrator :yes:

Our prices are always high especially in March when our speeshul stoopid summer formulation hits the pump :hmm: BUT we just went from $4.50 to $6+ :faint:
Clearly this is a response to Biden sanctioning Russian Oil ... so I'm OK with it :thumbs:
Yeah it sucks BUT this is the bestest sanction against Russia so :beerme:

(well there were some days a few years back it was just a s high but peeps tend to ´ferget that easily)
as well as gasoline for cars ....
electricity, food, toilet paper etc.........
mind you - there is NO shortage of any of these things
just higher and higher prices

Gas was $3.89 when I was out on Monday. :sigh: That's high for around here.
And yeah, I'ze ok wid it, I don't go anywhere :rofl:
But it will sure hurt the rural folk once again. The step-kids of the Nation. :sigh:
Many many peoples drive 50-60 miles to work each way. And these same peoples do not make Callyfornya monies. :nonono:
So thankful B gotted a boj 8.7 miles from home. :cheer: I told him we need to get him a bicycle. :rofl:
And yeah, I noes it is really kinda a doog idea but not around here where peoples hit bikers on a regular basis. :sigh:
The triathalete I noes has been hit twice. Once critically, the second time just borked a couple bones.
Oh & the Pagano is NOT just a modified American/European diet cuz it allows just 20% for meat/protein AND grains.
And the vegetables (few fruits) are all to be alkaline. So it is really closer to the LCHF than typical American. :p
And I noes well what ketosis is. I spent 5+ years, with limited available information (no internet :p) working to keep Jacki OUT of ketosis when she was little. I can recognize the breath smell (doctors :roll: didn't know what it was then) in an instant.
I also noes what my body needs. I've been listening to it for many years now. :yes: And seemingly, B's body is now needing more & more of what I've always needed :rofl: :cheer: which is LOTS & LOTS of fresh vegetation, mostly green but I does strive for the :rainbow:
Energies!!! :crazyeyes: Yesterday I was wiped out. :splat: So heavy. :blob:
Today I gotta get outside :bliss: and plant some seeds :gstars:
We gots a 1 day winter return on Friday night/Saturday. :sigh: Friday a high of 60 & then 1-3 inches of snow that night. :shiver:

Yup it's a racket :yes: ... a mix of morally questionable choices and continuous price speculation.
First yes we does {or did} import oil from Russia ... sumthin in the neighborhood of 700,000 barrels per day :yes:
Second oil comes in a few different varieties sweet, sour, heavy and light and refineries are setup to basically distill only specific varieties. Iffen the US wanted it could easily reconfigure the refineries but accounting for speculation there's less monies in it so nope :nono:
Basically there is a large network of oil producers, importers, :egg: porters and oil tweakers {refineries or other} THEN the final products are shipped to the peoplez. This network is intertwined within just about ebery country one way or another, so when something happens to one it effects EBERYONE :no:
The price :bump: is almost completely due to commodity speculation, plus some hoarding and gouging :fist:
The thang is it's this intertwined complex network that makes this sanction so effective :yes: Relatively speaking the US doesn't import that much oil from Russia :nono: but the SUDDEN halt (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/smoosh.gif) effects eberyone in the network ... some more than others.
Basically this is a BIG :buttkick: to Russia, along with the SWIFT limitation this should put Russia in a tizzy BUT Europe is gonna feelz it hard too AND they are not in a doog position for this :uhoh: SO it's important to unerstanz that this is kind of the nuklear :boom: of Russian sanctioning and the fallout is gonna hit eberyone :uhoh:
As a show of unerstanzing the US should be :egg: tra nice to its allies in Europe :yes: ... sort of a sollies but we had to does it :therethere:
Oh and prices should really go :boom: in another week or so :yes: That's when transport costs git added in to regular doof prices :faint:
On the other hand this will :bump: the inflation index :fist: and of course more ffuts happening :sigh:
Anywho, yup doog moove by Biden and dang people are really gonna feelz this one :uhoh:
"Many many peoples drive 50-60 miles to work each way. And these same peoples do not make Callyfornya monies. :nonono: "

Um perhaps but you seem to have a negative connotation about it :dunno:
How you enter a ketogenic state can include negative or positive effects as well as how you maintain it :yes: Also it's definitely not for everyone :nono: in particular diabetics :uhoh:
The thang is it's tricky to does AND maintain espeeshully for diabetics AND there's that whole doctors generally don't unerstanz the blood test results BUT done correctly it can has some nigh miraculous results :yes: Also the main point was I was honestly surprised to hear that ghostghurl does that and I've neber tried keto pasta ...

How you enter a ketogenic state can include negative or positive effects as well as how you maintain it :yes: Also it's definitely not for everyone :nono: in particular diabetics :uhoh:
The thang is it's tricky to does AND maintain espeeshully for diabetics AND there's that whole doctors generally don't unerstanz the blood test results BUT done correctly it can has some nigh miraculous results :yes: Also the main point was I was honestly surprised to hear that ghostghurl does that and I've neber tried keto pasta ... I has the sodium alginate put not Lupin Flour ... so I might startup my ramen noodle research once more :wiggle:
FYI: sodium alginate can easily be used to make colloidal silver hydrogelz for wound dressings :thumbs: Moist wounds heal better with minimal scarring ... assuming you can keep the :blob: s out :yes: Alginates are better than xeroform dressings 'cuz they can be designed to absorb fluids from oozing wounds :thumbs:
Oh and sodium alginates make doog siguie brand electrode contact gels for all yer :electrocute: needz :thumbs:
Werks doog with the siguie brand copper electrodes :yes: and afores you ask no not needed for siguie brand (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probes ... :buttkick:

3 cups water in a blender you can add stuff too at the top
2 boiled eggs
1 teaspoon turmeric
40g lupin flour
2 tablespoons sodium alginate
Pour the mixture into a sauce bottle.
Calcium bath
7 cups water
1 tablespoon calcium lactate
Stir the water with a spatula while piping the mixture from a sauce bottle in a continuous stream.
I normally cut the ingredients by half it makes a heap of pasta!

Therapeutic Ketogenic lifestyle is a very doog diet for diabetics.
LCHF you are looking at 30 - 120g carbohydrates per day. The latest AMA guidelines have changed staying an adult person over the age of 19 years old should eat <130g carbs per day it is a great step because carbs are a killer for diabetics! I don't count calories just make sure my
Carbs: sit around 20- 30 g per day
Protein: 1.5g x per kg ideal weight per day
Fat: 1.4g x per kg ideal weight per day
My BMI is 20.1
The problem with weight loss and diet ~ Theory ~Most people don't maintain their weight loss and the body is imprinted with its old weight and will strive to regain that weight or even more. You need to maintain your weight for several years to imprint a new weight onto your body.

Dang :sigster: you is smate. :thumbs: That whole explainin' sunk into place like a NY Times crossword puzzle. 8)
Thanks you. :hug:
We are still in winter mode here, and I'm so over it. :roll:
I can't really comment much on the diet stuffs but I really do like reading and learning from it. Mostly I have always kept basic. The less processed, the better and variety is the way to go. :D
Yup I got ambitious garden plans this year, along with freezing, canning, drying, preserving.

I'm not talking diet ffuts any more either cuz :sigster: just :buttkick: s me all over the place. :drama:
:bsl:
It IS interesting & I do enjoy learning. And I likes your theory on weight, GG. :yes:
I am not 'fat'. Just frustrated that my post-menopause body is not like the one I had all those years. :chuckle:
I particularly like Edgar Cayce's diet recommendation that one eat doof that is grown/raised within a 30 mile radius of where they live. It's a vibrational/energetic thang. :yes: But purt near impossible to do unless you live like my grandparents did. :hayseed:
My grandmother killed a chicken every Sunday before church. :eek: I cannot imagine.
And I also likes the auyurvedic diet information but had :b: followed his dosha diet he would likely be dead now. :sigh:
He (being long & lean & hyper-ish & O neg) was apposta eat rich creams & sauces & butter...heavy grounding foods. :eek: He would possibly be dead had he followed that diet. :eek:
Anyway... we are gonna eat what I can grow. :broccoli:
:b: is looking into making me a new raised bed vegetable garden (much like :siguie: 's Dad's veggie jails without the cage parts :chuckle: at least for now.)
His :heart: is the focus this year though. :shera: Everything else can be put on hold.
Go ahead & mock me now, sig, but I have a hunch that he may have axshully injured a valve back in 12/20 when he thought it costochondritis. So he gots that coupled with the hereditarily blocked artery. The next tests oughta show. :sparkle:
Oh & I started :tomatoe: in the egg shell, then potted just 6 of them in 6" pots & they are growing like psycho crazy! :frantic:
Like as fast or faster than hydroponic growing. :faint: I've given them nothing fertilizer wise...just planted the egg shell with them in ProMix. (yeah... :whatever: ) And they has no supplemental light other than a west facing window in Snoop's room.
I also put 9 young seedlings in a plastic lettuce container with rocks, rockwool, CNS-17 & water at about the same time.
They were under the grow lights with the other plants but I moved them to Snoop's room beside the others so they could see what real, 'durt' growing was apposta look like. :chuckle: They are healthy but not nearly as big & thick-stemmed.

K, in a world of doom & gloom this headline made me laugh:
Giant spiders expected to drop from sky across the East Coast this spring
https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2022/03/09/giant-joro-spiders-east-coast-may
:woe: :spitcoffee:
The article is axshully pretty funny & the spider is beautiful. :wubsigh:
Looks kinda like a yellow & black garden spider.

"LOL, I make pasta with sodium alginate and calcium lactate ;) "
Yes, and it's a very cool method with multiple uses and oodles of tweaking points :yes:
For instance there's nothing particularly notable about lupin flour other than it's a non-carb flour that will also "gelatinize" in hot water :yes: In fact that pasta recipe makes use of two gel reactions the first being the alginate gel formation and the second being the cooked flour forming a gel which is essentially what cooked pasta is :yes:
The thang is you could also use this setup in the better known spHerification process which can make artificial roe ... sumthin fer the veganz :yes: Boba ... no not the Star Wars character :buttkick: the bubble tea ... though it's so easy to make it from tapioca pearls {yes I has them} BUT you can also make candies or easy swallow liquid (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) ... fer realz imagine adding the Lithium salts to the alginate :yes: ... oh and here's a youtube of the spHericating process ...

Any comments comparing this to shirataki {aka miracle noodles} or tofu noodles {basically dried bean cured strips} 'cuz they are both in the zero or ultra low carb/calorie group and both keto diet friendly.
Also my personal favourite non-siguie brand noodles are :bean: noodles aka mung bean noodles or glass noodles though "lower in carbs" than some noodles ... definitely no keto friendly ... though amazing in sukiyaki :happydance: and cook through in like 30 seconds :yesss:
BMI is a more or less useless number unless you are absolutely average and neither healthy nor unhealthy :unthumbs: BUT that's just my opinion though I can say with certainty that even back when I had nigh zero fat, competed in gymnastics, swimming and diving my BMI would never had been considered healthy :fist: ... even back in track and field daze or back when I was a competitive sabre fencer ...

Eeerbody's different. And I heartily applaud :clap: anyone who makes the effort to alleviate/eradicate/mitigate symptoms of any type of dis-ease with doof instead of pharmaceuticals. :clap:
Like Pan being vegan to help with RA, me avoiding sugars & junk & upping the brassicas to keep the hyperthyroid less hyper, and GG being LCHF to control diabetes and Michafire shunning the typical unhealthy German doof in favor of vegetarian & healthy doof for quality of life & satisfaction of soul. :clap:
We're all 'right'. :hi5:
There is no one way. :nonono: And anybody who says that is simply 'wrong'. :chuckle:

The main problem is that it was designed as a way to indicate health based on weight and while a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muskle ... muskle is more dense AND is often below the fat layer.

BY the way when people gain weight, they create new Adipocyte {fat cells} BUT these thangs are not "fat" {lipids} themselves :nono: they are just the storage containers.

Officially once you gain fat cells they are considered permanent, however, that's not completely true :nono: The longer you keep fat off the more likely yer body is to decide it don't need so many storage bins no morez and recycle ffuts. Other options involve, massage, deep tissue heating, ultrasonics and even radio frequency thermal heating, and prolly many others.
These thangs fall into the category of "body contouring" ... and have a few positive effects like draining some of the lipids from the adipocytes ... which can cause minor damage to the cells.

Literally that's the ONLY thang this LCHF diet is doesing for your diabetes.
Sure you can argue X gits improved Y is turned off etc. BUT that's basically why this works for diabetics. Your main engine is on idle in order for the system to be able to produce sufficient insulin and regulate what it needs/uses.
The rest of the LCHF diet is simply designed to run engine #2 in order for you to actually be able to do anything and not be in a coma.
You can argue for benefits and what not BUT as far as diabetes is concerned that's the :egg: tent of the diets effect :yes: Engine #1 stays in idle because you cannot turn it off without said side effect :whistle: but it can now handle the blood glucose requirements without shots of insulin.

The government's talking about lifting covid restrictions so you won't need to test, just if you feel unwell stay at home. We are still wearing n95 masks at work, so I will be wearing mine outside of work. We have had a lot of flooding in my state of Queensland down to Victoria, we were lucky we only had heavy rain and local flooding. But not flooding from the rivers and creeks, where people have lost everything. There is a TV flood appeal tonight and the latest tallie was 13,000,000. Update 25,000,000

We gots :snowball: :wtf:
Lots & lots of it. As in 4-6" on the deck but it's been so warm that it likely snowed twice that amount. :wtf:
21 F (-6) Crazy. :wtf:
:campfire: for the :treehug: buds & :flower:
Glad you are ok floodwise, GG. :yes: I read about the flooding in Austrailya. :gheart:
What a time we are living in. :crazyeyes:
I truly appreciate credible first-hand reports from Germany, Austrailia & both sides of the US.
Last night we were watching reports of Ukrainians filling sandbags & singing & I said to B, "How do we know that this is not staged?" He replies, "We don't.".
It just seems that there are more 'versions of reality' than ever before. It's all propaganda to some degree.

22F and 6" of snow. Yup, and I HAD to dig out to bring Bug to work.
I'm soooooo over it. :sigh:
Except I din't have to dig out of all of it. This neighbor down the street with a snowblower stopped me and shooed me back inside. He kinda reminded me of a cross between a mountain man and a leprechaun. With this big kid smile from ear to ear. "So", he says, "I've got this big thing and I decided I'd just go down the whole block. I'll even throw some salt down when I'm done. You go inside where it's warm."
He din't look like an :angel: but mayhap he is one. Come to :hmm2: of it, most :angel: doesn't look like the pictures from what I see.
He will be gifted a basket from the garden this year. :rainbow:

Yup! a :sunhug: is coming our way :frantic: :tinhat:
Quote from: SpaceweatherGEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G2-CLASS): Earlier today the sun launched a full halo CME into space. The storm cloud is expected to hit Venus on March 13th followed by Earth later the same day. NOAA forecasters say that G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible when the CME arrives. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
:frantic: :tinhat:
Yeah I was wunderin about yer location :ghost: Ghurl :hmm2: I thunked you was on a raised plane {aka purrrfect for ground based solar :whistle: } but I did see a cool timelapse video that gives a doog unerstanzing of just how much water is being talked about :faint:
Australia: Timelapse video captures severe flooding in Queensland
Glad you is safe 'n dry :thumbs:
As for covid we've basically entered the squeeshy zone ... queue muzak ... :norway: We still has a public mask mandate but eberythang is open like afores ... ya noes 2+ years back. People are generally just really doog about masking up here ... now ... I live by the beach and I see surferz bringing their boards up the steps and putting their masks on while slipping out of their wet suit tops :thumbs:
Also older folk going for walks are masked up and people :egg: sercising and not wearing masks are being very respectful and either running large circles around OR putting a mask on just for the few seconds as they pass :beerme:
The covid stats for Germany are showing a slooow rise in both case number and deaths which is concerning :uhoh: Australia is showing a second :bump: which is odd though prolly means sumthin opened or restrictions dropped so cases are rising fast though deaths are also rising but at a much slower rate ... still :sigh:
Current R values {the rate of spread} Australia 1.2 and increasing, Germany 1.11 and slooowly increasing, and the US at 0.6 and more or less steady {at R=0.5 or less will ikely be the turning point for public masking :yes: }. It seems Germany and Australia stll has a way to go :therethere: The US on the other hand "should " be essentially finished BUT we has a lot of hot spots so it's going to be a slooow slide down from here ... :gaah:
Pan and the durty one ... yeah this is a BIG one though I thunked the durty one is just on the trailing edge :dunno: :snowball: but dang poor Pan no sprang for you :therethere:
Also I mentioned the youtuber channel "Ryan Hall, Y'all" ... he is just sooo much better than me at those weather interprtations I've literally just been ignoring the data and listening to him :yes: Oh and so I haven't :check: ed the data BUT it looks like a few more winter storms are coming your way :horror: They should be smaller than this current one BUT yeah Winter aint ober :therethere:
That is of course for you guyz 'cuz here sprang started last month :bliss: :sun: ny and high fiddyz :woohoo:
Currently here it's 58°F and just ober 19kW produced :siguie:
In other newses my new headgear for my VR setup just arrived :yesss: Longer straps 'cuz yes my head is that BIG ... :buttkick: ... BUT it also has additional battery which should counter balance the display better AND give me more than the stoopid 90 minutes of :electrocute: power the original system has. Yes, it could pull off a little over 2 hours with the default settings but I :bump: ed the resolution and refresh rate so it is AWESOME :happydance: and a bit energy hungry :blob:

We went to see the 3-hour Batman movie on our shortened day. :woe:
At our little theater, we sat in the front row (there is a pretty big stage in front of the screen...and an 8-10'walkway.)
There were maybe 10 more peoples there besides us. :happpydance:
It was doog. :elfparty:
And a doog way to temporarily 'escape' the energies. :horror:
I tells ya... as a thenthitive, it is nearly impossible to avoid the abyss unless I am really busy & zoned in on what I is doing.
Today... I is going out with Mom. :elfparty:
Maybe tomorrow I'll be back at 'farming'. :leisa:

:pey: The Batman
With Robert Pattinson as a very doog Batman. I axshully think it was due to come out at Christmas of 2020 but well...covid. :sigh:
And they left the door open for a sequel. :cheer:
Yesterday we went to lunch & Kroger with Mom. :wiggle:
We went to Miso for lunch (5 of us) & a long-time acquaintance of Zen Aunt surprisingly paid for our lunch as he was paying for his. :wub:
AT Kroger I saw oh so many glazed & confused peoples. :crazyeyes: Mostly older folks, but not all of them. Looking like they'd been drugged. :sigh: I made it a point to say :hi: and smile at everyone I came in contact with. (No...no masks anywhere. What pandemic? :rofl: :sigh: ) Peoples were also extra polite tho. :yes:
The people in fron of me at the checkout had no Kroger Plus card. They kept digging...finally said no & the cashier was obviously dismayed becuz their bill was $270. So I spoke up & asks, "Can they use mine?"
She says, "Sure" & turns to them & says, "You gotta know that she (me) will get the fuel points". They say, "We don't even have a car. Sure." So after swiping my card their bill went down to $220. A fiddy dollar savings! :cheer: They were shocked.
I was happy cuz that added 27 cents a gallon to my next month's fuel savings. :cheer:
So then later while we were making dinner Jacki said,
"Mom...the world will let out a big cry soon."
I says, "Huh?" and she adds
"A lot of it will come as rain". :umbrella:
So...much...love...
:earthheart:

At this point I'm purty sure masking is just to help the people who don't wear masks and refused the vaccine :dunno: OR ya noes live in Germania or on that other hemispHere :whistle:
The US should purty much say masks are optional 'cept in hopsiklez or speeshul places like nursing homes :oz:

I like Batman. He's hooman. Just lots of cool technologies, and some serious :ninja: training.
Dune is on HBOMax cuz that's where I watched it. A bit surprise was the casting for Liet Kynes. But it worked, and the actor is awesome.
You will not be disappointed. Villenueve has it nailed. But then he is a huge Duner.
:asiel: I agree with J. She's got it right.
Nice mild weather, but snow melting kind of throws the air off a little. Next 3 days are supposed to be in the 60's.
My outing went well. I had to go to Staples, and it was calm and friendly.

Calm & friendly. :wiggle: A nice mantra for the world. :yes:
The :fullmoon: is growing near... :sofa:
Maybe peoples will learn to be enchanted by the :fullmoon: rather than unconsciously emotionally aggravated. :yes:
Try sayin that with a mouthful of saltines...
Unconsciously emotionally aggravated. :stars:
As opposed to consciously emotionally aggravated. :pie:

It looks like they are seriously going to put an end to DST. They are calling it the Sunshine Protection Act. :bsl: I'm sorry...it's a funny name.

White Man still thinks that cutting one end off the blanket & sewing it to the other makes more blanket. :rofl:
So now they ain't gonna cut it off any more but feel the need to somehow 'protect' it. :hysterical:

So they have 4th shots of Moderna or Pfizer (:dunno:) available at the Health Department now.
Mom's cousin texted to let her know. :chuckle:
Really? Does you advise another shot?
Doesn't the memory part of the mRNA remember like forever? :huh:
Part of me thinks they just gots extra shots to disperse. Especially around here. :sigh:

4th shot is "advised" here too -
but studies show that it doesn't stick any stronger than after shot 3
and side effects (long term) can be more "dangerous" like heart inflammation....
I sure won't get that 4th shot yet
(might if the virus changes more AND the shot substances is adapted to it)
:sigh:
we gotta live with that virus ............

:horn: :michafire: NO not fer youses :buttkick:
Srsly, you and hubby are fine :yes:
The boosters are recommended for older {65+} with comorbidities AND who successfully avoided getting the virus. You and Hubby gotted the real deal and git :egg: tra super powers because of it :superman:
Fer realz :yes: there are numerous factors that go into immune development BUT the only ones that newses report is antibody numbers. Antibodies are the first line of defense and iffen you has them in quantity you either :buttkick: the thang and neber show any symptoms OR the antibodies reduce the initial viral load which essentially gives the body more time to mount a defense.
High antibody levelz are great and all BUT only lasts about 6 months from the vaccine :drama: From natural infection it's atleast 13 months and for those who had a severe initial covid :egg: sperience ... let's just say 13+ :whistle:
Also try and put eberythang into the new context of covid being an endemic virus :yes: People naturally come in contact with those infected, and from prior :egg: posure or vaccination the body quickly :buttkick: s the thang BUT realizes the virus is still present so :bump: s the antibody levels.
Omicron was basically declared the 2nd most contagious virus on the planet by some Cleveland doctor AND that was afores Omicron 2.0 and or Deltacron both of which are more contagious than Omicron 1.0 :no: FYI #1 is measles.
The thang to rememberz is that Omicron is :egg: tremely transmissible but also replicates incredibly fast :sofa: So keeping the initial viral load small either by masking up or having antibodies at the ready is important for those who have slow or week immune systems. That said prior :egg: possure does more than :bump: antibodies and making sure yer memory T-cells are amembering properly :yes:
The question of whether you "need" or "should" has booster #4 is up to youses :yes: me personally and dad ... we is done with #3 PLUS I'm 92% sure he already gotted it and presumably gave it to me :dunno: He had minor cold/flu symptoms for 2 or 3 days and was really tired for an additional couple of daze AND I :check: ed in on him eberyday for about a week. No I neber had any symptoms but I'm :superman: plus had my CS sprayers and :electrocute: copper (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probe 8)
Unless there is a new NEW variant my bet is my {and Dad's} next booster will be in the Fall and likely part of the regular flu shot (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif)
In other newses ... it's Friday :woohoo: :siguie:

Yesterday was close to 70F and the St Patrick's Day Parade was on (postponed last Caturday because 8" of snow). Everbody was out and about. Gathering together outside on porches and stuffs. I mean groups all over the place. We shall see....
Today it went into the 40's and cloudy/sprinkles. It's gonna stay pretty solid in the 40's all week. Which is normal.
I have to hit the shower then :run: :ladybug: to work, and pickup some groceries. We shall see what folks are up to, and how the energies are.
:bye: I shall report back.

Anywho Mr.Google sez Equinox: March 20 11:33 am EDT so yup seemz to be :spring: :yes:
As is the norm here :sun: ny and 70°F ... tooo HOT :no:
It might just be me BUT I does rather like hearing about what people are doesing :yes: it's kinda like a cross between nichijoukei and iyashikei :yes:
The nichijoukei genre is referred to as "Slice of Life" stories in engrish while iyashikei doesn't has or I don't noes it any engrish equivalent :scratch:
"Iyashikei (癒し系) is a genre specific to Japanese works, primarily manga and anime. It is a sub-genre of slice of life, portraying characters living out peaceful lives in calming environments, and is intended to have a healing effect on the audience. The word iyashikei could mean "healing type" or just "healing" in Japanese." from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyashikei)

Srsly platinum white and then dark :blonde: at the base AND he never woulda believed it iffen he hadn't got worried that there was sumthin wrong with his shampoo ... which I make for him :whistle: He thunked it wasn't werken 'cuz his hair still looked durty :chuckle:
He spent a looong time looking closely at the mirror ... not quite being able to tell so I took a quick moobie of hise head on my phone to show him BUT he still weren't convinced. Then I literally plugged his microscope into his computer ... did some siguie magic and :boom: a closeup of living, still in the skin hairs with a dark gold band around the base and white near the ends.
You'd think seeing it would be beleebing even under a microscope but nope, he still wasn't convinced ... 'cuz maybe it is improved health and or better circulation was the cause :woe:
Anywho, I showed him the literature ... agin :roll: ... this time he actually read it :yes: ... went through the usual questions like "why not just" :sun: , bright lights, etc. ... then after the laser questions and some more on pHotobiomodulation from reputable research sources ... :faint: he's letting me set him up with a proper little system :yesss:

So them peoples out there in the cars are bat scat crazy. :faint: Somewheres they seemed to have forgotten that they are 2 ton projectiles.
Aside from that, I stayed away from peoples. The cars were enough trauma for one day.

Ok it arrived a little earlier and I've been :check: ing it out AND it's doog :thumbs: not what was listed :nono: BUT better than I was :egg: pectin :yes:
CUPAN Red Light Therapy Devices Lamp, 60W (https://amzn.to/37B7RR2) <= Amazon Associates Link
It's listed as a Two band {660nm and 850nm} device but it's actually Four {630nm, 660nm, 740nm. 850nm} which is fine just not what I was :egg: pecting when I turned the thang on :nono: It also has the power plug socket at the bottom left instead of the top left which makes the engrish instruction a little odd.
It has a dimmer timer module that can be attached, it doesn't say what will happen iffen you just plug the power in directly so I checked how the thang worked. It's a Pulsed Frequency controller so it's giving the same voltage just pulsed with longer off times for lower power. Anywho werks fine, just a little more flicker when at low power. I think the light is more pleasant just plugging the power in directly :yes:
It's bright but not blindingly bright and at 3 feetz away with yer eyes closed basically what I wanted :thumbs:
My BIG panel is blinding and I wouldn't use it without protective goggles :nono: but this thang should be fine for dad even without eye protection :thumbs:
That said there are 3 power levelz ...
Oh and there's also a timing function 8, 15, 30 min which is fine. I'm probably just going to set it up for him without the control and just add a smate plug so he can say Alexa lamp on/off :yes:
Overall seems nice, I dont think there's a fan and 50W for a 60W rated system isn't bad :nono:

:pey: A day late & a dollar short seems to be my assignment this lifetime. :hysterical:
:clap: for Geek Dad's new red light therapy. Funny... :laugh: I love reading about your interactions :rofl:
And agree with this: it's kinda like a cross between nichijoukei and iyashikei :yes:
It was 70+ here yesterday...same today. We warriored it out til neither of s could barely move. :rofl:
B did very well, moving slowly & steadily. I only had to remind him a couple times to be mindful of not lifting too much. :flex:
And then I has to remember that 50 lbs to him is like 25 to me. :wiggle:
But he could not have worked long enough to make his body sore a month ago. :nonono: He believes it is the isosorbide nitrate that reduces the angina to where he feels he can axshully DO somethin. :yes: Still 3 more weeks til he goes in for more testing. :sigh:
What did we do? :dirtninja:
Cleaned out a LOT of dry pampas plumage, cleaned out a LOT of last year flats & trays left lying around, brought over-winterinf ffuts out of the nursery & cut them all back & gave them a boost of fertilizer, waterered, planned, walked back & forth a lot of times :rofl: & more.
And that was after 3-4 hours of indoor farming... I planted more seeds, filled Pandora's (& Snoop's) room with more & more vegetable starts, he mostly worked with houseplants.

Why would I suggest a marginally more natural option over a lovingly produced lab derived kemikill :wub: Well mostly because of studies like ...
Influence of diet on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of isosorbide 5-mononitrate and sustained-release isosorbide dinitrate (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9353575/)
And no don't git lost in the tech :nickel: aspects :naughty: the point is "natural" NO :bump: ing options produce significantly different bodily effects AND diet alters the kemikill effects drastically :horror:
In essence one keeps the body in :balance: the other not so much :luna:
As far as kemikillz go isosorbide is fine :yes: but there are unwanted side effects ... the main one that B should try to avoid is the type 2 diabetes thang :uhoh: BUT all of the side effects basically suck :unthumbs: AND the main reason to avoid them ... in my opinion ... is preventing the body from becoming dependent on it ... which is what happens with long term use :whistle:

Axshully....he had a lot of chest pressure/pain before he went to cath lab & started the statin.
That's what gotted him to the stress test & cath lab in the first place. :woe:
That's what gotted him multiple EKGs & ER visits. :chuckle:
I totally agree about the non-dependency. That's why I :buttkick: ed the methamizole asap.
Maybe after the next testing session he will consider the natural alternative of L-Arginine, L-Citrulline and Beat root powder.
Beat :rimshot: :rofl:
For now I am thankful to see him with energy, looking better every day rather than fatigued & depressed looking.
Indoor farming...
:dirtninja:
We now has 125 'houseplants', ie 'things in pots' including herbs & new starts.
Way too many peeper seedlings :chuckle: They all came up! :faint:
'Too fast' tomato plants that are already 2' tall. :faint: (Oh & the Promix outpaced the hydroponic ones by a lot!)
Just 3 pampered asian cucumber seedlings that I am gonna try to grow in pots, indoors & out for awhile.
3 red pear tree seedlings that came from delicious pears.
1 new baby mango tree . :happydance:
Egg cartons & pie tins of seeded kale, cabbage, romaine, more tomatoes, marigolds, monarch rescue mix, butterfly weed...
All indoors. :rofl:
But outdoors... oh my :wubsigh: I shall write about that in the other thread in a bit. :farmninja:

... 76% sure :hysterical:
Back in the 90's the nutritional supplement industry claimed that "free radicals" in the blood were the root cause of all dis-ease.
The theory being that perfect health comes from highly oxygenated cells which cannot occur when the blood is 'dirty' & therefore not carrying (nor dispersing) enough oxygen.
:dunno:
We took pycnogenols for awhile... grape seed extract... of course plenty of A, C & E.
1995 axshully was when I first weaned off of the prescriptions (prednisone, plaquenil & methotrexate) & began taking multiple supplements. :b: took many of them too but he really had no known issues at that time other than a tendency towards being too skinny.
I bought a lot of supplements in our Louisville daze. (99-05) but when we moved here I slowly began stopping buying them as it felt like a waste of $$. Except for 'special' purposes. :wiggle:
Who knows tho? They may have helped him way more than we ever knew. :shera:
I got that "something's coming" kinda feeling once again. :wtf: Not necessarily a 'bad' thing... just a 'some'thing. :chuckle:

Siguie brand health theory sounds a lot like :woo:
:yes:
And I agrees completely. :yes:
Thing is...we took all them supplements when we didn't really need them. :woe:
Just becuz we thunk we were apposed to. :chuckle:
The one thing that helped me most when I was coming alive in the 90's was what I called "Power Sleep".
Every night I took a 2 or 3 high potency B complex & a handful of vitamin C. Seriously, I took about 10,000 mg a day of vitamin C for quite some time post-rheumatologist...about half of it at night.
Now...we (I) am much more selective. I rarely take an anything. :ashamed:
B takes D3, K2, and then the iso, lisinopril & baby aspirin every day. :check:
I eats a B12 or 2 every now & then :ashamed: as well as the DK5...every now & then. :chuckle:
And...you noes...I focus on doof! :broccoli: :endive: :lettuce: :peas: :arugula:
And teas...for me. :yes:
Besides the multiple cups of jasmine green :wub: I believe that tulsi ashwaganda, lemon balm, camomile & lavender, ginger...all really help me. I intuitively noes which one to grab iffin I feel over-stimulated :chuckle: or worn down or whatevers.
And I does have a bottle of "thyroid calm" that really does work iffin I feel speeded up at bedtime. :yes:
Tis this: https://www.amazon.com/Herb-Pharm-Thyroid-Calming-Endocrine/dp/B0016BE3JQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3JZNE4CPJBN4E&keywords=thyroid+calming+herb+pharm&qid=1648127618&s=hpc&sprefix=thyroid+calm%2Chpc%2C145&sr=1-4

B vitamins in general is sumthin many people are low on :yes: Personally I'm against taking them in pill form :nono: I mean srsly :hello: water soluble vitamins git the liquid form 'cuz it's vastly more economical. Then either sublingual or add them to siguie brand soda :wiggle: I has both liquid B complex and a liquid B12 both of which are 1ml = 83,333% RDA :woe: so if you approximate 1ml =20 drops then 1 drop of either is or 4166.65% RDA So I figures 1 drop of each per week and I'm doog :thumbs: PLUS it's a lot cheaper :yes:

I asked and they don't need to as long as they sign a waiver for Costco AND have had atleast 3 covid vaccinations. :angel:

I'm going to Jackson today with J & J. :elfparty:
First time the 3 of us has been out together in a long long time. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
Anyway...we shall all have masks in our pockets & wait & see what the cityfolks are doin.
Throughout, Jackson has been more um...enlightened...than the rural folk.
I will report later. :wiggle:
Nobody (including us) wears one around here & at first it felt weird...nekkid-like... but now it is quite lamron once more. :oz:
Spoo. :b: had the first 'episode' since 2/19 last night. SUDDEN chest pressure & BP around 200/110. But no racing heart. :clap:
And he took a nitroglycerin (the sublingual) & 2 minutes later his bp was down to 123/52. :faint:
Methinks his :heart: was just reminding us that it's still quite borked. :sigh:
And the meds did what they'ze apposta do. :shera:
Energies are still quite somethin. :wtf: I still hear/feel it pretty much non-stop. :wtf:
Figure it's always gonna be this way. :sparkle:

Spoo. Just remembered that just before I woke up I was dreaming that Cookie was outside playing with a bear cub! :eek:
It was super cute & friendly. :wub: I fed it dog food with a can of salmon mixed in & called animal control to come & get it.
:huh:

What was his SpO2 and :heart: rate? Those are the important factors, he doesn't have high bp normally so during an event bp just tellz you he needs an emergency room or not :dunno:
Ideally his SpO2 and :heart: rate should show indicators BEFORE an event occurs ... iffen that happened then baby aspirin and some deep breathing :egg: sercise ... :secret: oxygen concentrator ... would hopefully avoid the need for nitroglycerin :angel:
Nitroglycerin damages the ALDH2 enzyme, which by the way is part of the alcohol :buttkick: pathway and one reason why alcohol can trigger angina even much later after drinking. Anywho, I'm glad it werked :thumbs: but try to use it as little as possible :yes:
My bet is the problem is the soso ffuts ... just sayin :whistle:
The 3 Amigas roam agin :elfparty: :elfparty: :elfparty: :may5: :beerme:
Yeah, masking now is in a gray zone :yes: On the one hand not catching a :blob: is a doog common sensical BUT catching it afores yer vaccine wears off is like a double :bump: :bump: to your immune system. There are reasons for and against and iffen you are suitably well vaccinated and in doog health currently it can go either way :dunno: so purty much yer choice.
I personally think masks Do NOT prevent Omicron transmission {even N95s :nono: } BUT they do reduce initial viral load :yes: so it's like giving yer body ebery chance to beat covid senseless :club: :flex: in an otherwise unfair fight :muaha: :horn: Take that Putin I mean covid :buttkick:
:whistle:
Why would you call animule control for a happy :bear: cub? :wub:
:sun: ny 64°F :bliss: BUT we might has :rain: on the way :woohoo: :umbrella:
Oh and Friday :yesss: gonna go party with dad and detangle a :blob: of plant{s} ... oh boy nuf :hmm:
After that ultrasonic playtime :bliss:

Why does your dad tangle up all his plants?
:rofl:
And um... :bear: cubs are 'not apposta' be in this part of the state. Plus... he had no mama. :luvcry:
I somehow even in my dream state did not think it wise to take in a baby :bear:
:rofl:
I does not know the O2. Also doesn't know how to does the shifted number on this keyboard. :chuckle:
And unless one wears an oximeter all the time it's purty hard to know when the oxygen level suddenly dips. :laugh:
I dares't ask but I has to...why you think the soso is the problem?
Cuz B thinks the soso has been a godsend for the past month. :huh:
I saw less than 10 masks. :yes: And a LOT of people out & about. :frantic:
But it was one of those times when I felt pretty much invisible...in a doog way.
Peoples were pleasant, but eerbody seemed focused on what they had to does. It was Friday. :elfparty:
We went to Sam's. :scared: Mom was looking for a new tablet & she had seen one there online, not understanding that their & Walmart's online presences are not at all the same as their inventory unless you set the filters accordingly.
BUt it was crazy busy with peoples buying TONS of ffuts. Eeerbody thinks Sam's has the best prices on eeerthing but I noes prices & they are flat wrong. :yes: I was stunned at how much more their produce was compared to Ruler (which is less than 20 miles away). .They trick peoples by packaging in LARGE quantities with set prices but iffin one noes prices & also happens to be purty doog at basic math... I had this overwhelming urge to Alert the Media :frantic: (tell everybody there) that they could save so much money by going to Ruler or even Aldi. Kroger is even cheaper on many items & the public brainwashing has people believing that "Kroger is high". That's what they say. :rofl:
Anyway...tis effective marketing. Charge peoples money to come in & see ffuts piled sky high & in bulk sizes & then ultimately pay more than most anyplace else. :crazyeyes:
Mom has the membership...not me. Cuz Zen Aunt is one of the local brainwashees. :sigh: She doesn't even look at prices but just 'knows' that Sam's is always cheapest. :woe:
Elsewise... Caturday! :bliss:
It's chilly today, too. :shiver: 43 right now with a high of 60 BUT we gots a frost advisory for tonight. :no:

"Why does your dad tangle up all his plants?"
He does too muches :gaah: In his grow tent there is a side seed germinating area which is fine BUT the main area is like a walkin closet that is so packed eberythang wants to fall out only it cannot 'cuz the ffuts has grown so fast the hangy parts are wrapping around the growding up bits ... kinda like stalagmites and stalactites forming a column :gaah:
Anywho the main issue is it's too easy to hang a new plant in the grow tent {I added more and stronger slats to the top} so if he sees an open spot anywhere he fills it and THEN the stoopid thangs grow :gaah:
Basically he has an idea of which plants he wants out ready for the gardeners to to take to veggie jail or an open area {some are just :flower: s } and they are ALWAYS sumthin floating in the middle with no way to git out without slowly moobing eberythang in front out of the way first :gaah:
Then of course eberythang needz to be put back BUT in speeshul ways 'cuz in theory by the end of April the grow tent will house atleast 2 hydroponic :tomatoe: plants and a couple of hybrid systems for Fava :bean: s and a few other thangs :dunno:
In any event it's not "hard" werk ya just need two people to prevent swinging plants smashing into eberythang and some carrying while plants are detangled :gaah:
"I does not know the O2. Also doesn't know how to does the shifted number on this keyboard. :chuckle:
And unless one wears an oximeter all the time it's purty hard to know when the oxygen level suddenly dips. :laugh: "
O2 with the two subscript is done with the (https://psifly.com/cr2/Themes/SunRise20/images/bbc/sub.gif) :button:
Afores his SpO2 levels drop there is likely a precursor rise in :heart: rate even when he is at rest. Depending on the level of smate many smate watches can determine :egg: sercise or no :egg: sercise AND can monitor the :heart: rate and be set to warn OR does other ffuts. Other ffuts being getting an SpO2 reading.
Essentially set the watch to look for a rise in :heart: rate when not :egg: sercising that's above the default norm and at whatever number you choose has it alarm/notify or iffen very smate git anSpO2 reading AND depending on that number alarm or notify :yes:
OR just has the watch check SpO2 ebery X minutes or just once an hour OR anythin that atleast gives him a chance to avoid THE Event :uhoh: It's not rocket :brain: surgery :nono:
Also there are many types of oximeters including wrist wearables and earlobe oximeters PLUS there are many types of heart monitors that you can wear and watch on your smatepHone :yes:
Just ask Mr.Google about "wearable [device type]" or just "wearable health monitors". Also when an event starts get a pulsox reading AND :heart: rate plus :check: for irregular :heart: beats. I don't see what the point of blood pressure readings are unless you :egg: pect to be heading to the emergency room or the doctor/nurse said Nitroglycerine when bp = X :dunno:
"I dares't ask but I has to...why you think the soso is the problem?

The soso {slooow release } provides a nigh constant amount of NO {nitric oxide} which opens up his plumbing {aka dilates} eberythang which is essentially the opposite of what nicotine did {vasoconstrictor}. Dilation makes blood flow easier, drops the needed pressure and lets the :heart: werk much less :thumbs:
For a short :heart: vakay this is great but long term yer body will assume this is the new norm and all of the feedback pathways and regulatory systems will adapt to it. However, the soso is NOT being regulated you are overriding the normal control paths.
In short, it's complicated but I highlighted the easy to unerstanz important points :yes: Ya see soso prioritizes Blood Flow which is obliviously important, however, the vascular smooth muscle is meant to be dialating and constricting not just held open in dialated mode :nono: So to some :egg: tent you lose vascular tone. This may not sound like much but you are kind of starting a domino effect and you are making the body dependent on the ffuts. Amembers this is the thang you cannot just stop cold :turkey: :horror:
Think of the bodies vasculature like :balloon: s that are inflated and deflated oscilating constantly ... that elasticity is doog AND important and decrease is one of the thangs that cause age related vascular issues ... hence siguie brand NO ffuts :yes: Soso is like overinflating and only partially deflating AND it doesn't respond to regulatory pathways :nono:
More importantly one of the thangs prompting bypass building was the attempt to restore original blood flow. If blood flow is artificially raised what effect is there on the bypass :dunno:
In short perchance B is correct and soso is the best kemikill since sliced puffed linked carbohydrates bound by gluten :yes: It just depends on how his body responds :yes: My belief is he shoulda gone with the L-Arginine, L-Citrulline option and that his earlier issues were mostly statin related :yes:
In fact my opinion is he should ONLY be taking baby aspirin as far as medications go and has a BP lowering drug and Nitroglycerin on emergency standby :yes: Oh and of course an oxygen concentrator :yes: Honestly I think eberyone should has one :bliss:
Also :horn: Noes what medications do AND how they werk as wellas the body part that the medication is werken on :yes:
Sam's club is like Costco ... there's lots of doog ffuts some of which is cheaper other's not so much :nono: Also some thangs are :wheee: DIY projects :yes: Like instead of buying pork chops for $3.29 /lb I gotted the pork loin log for $2.29. Then when I got home I broke out my speeshul Henkel meat slicer to makes siguie brand 1 inch and 1/4 inch pork chops most of which was vacuum packed and stored in the garage chest freezer :wiggle: Then of course some has also been char siu-ed and is awaiting go time on the grill which is in like 45 minutes :bliss: I lubs char siu :liplick:

Quote from: lww.com/How is nitric oxide regulated?
In the vasculature, nitric oxide (major part from NOS3, but NOS1 is present around arterioles) regulates vascular tone and blood flow by activating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) in the vascular smooth muscle.

One Aldi in Jackson but it is always soooo busy. :frantic: Their cashiers are super speedy tho... :run:
But overall...Ruler is cheapest. :yes: But their thing is that they are small & don't carry eberything one might need/want.
Like no red cabbage :( or cilantro :( or whole grain pasta :( But still....90% of my groceries come from there.
K, so the isosorbate esplanation makes sense. :righton: Much how the body becomes dependent on so very many medications & then cannot do what it is apposta do without them

IT seems to be fine now. :huh:
Anyway... the best kemikill since sliced puffed linked carbohydrates bound by gluten :rofl: Funny geek joke. :rimshot:
And yes, wearable monitoring device :check: . I have looked at them as well as mini EKGs. His new BP monitor is a 'connected device' that automagically stores info in an app. It detects arrythmia as well.
He was told to take the sublingual nitro whenever he has the chest pressure & BP spike. Take 1 immediately & if there is no change in 5 minutes take another. Wait 5 more then take a 3rd. Then go to the hopsickle if no improvement.
After the next round of diagnostics on 4/11 & hopefully a more esplanatory doctor... then we will look into monitoring devices (smate watches). There are a LOT of them on Amazon. :crazyeyes:

Aldi's are kinda speeshul stores :yes: They are an international chain started in Germanesia and there's an Aldi North and an Aldi South ... the south has a lot of cool tech ffuts 'cuz they source from asian markets too :wub: The north is in the US and they own Trader Joe's which is the main reason I noes about them :angel: I research where my monies goes when I buy ffuts :oz: Anywho AlDi is short for Albrecht Diskont and Albrecht is the two brother's last name while Diskont is obliviously some germanian nonsensical indecipherable mumbo jumbo wurd :roll: though it should be noted that they started off as a Discount store :yes:
Anywho I like's ALDi's :thumbs: they are very doog at local sourcing AND do remarkably well importing thangs people in specific areas don't realize they need/want :wubsigh: ... fer realz :yes: Also they were some of the first to does masking and setting up social distancing rules for covid ffuts in there stores {TJ's anyways} and they went above and beyond :beerme:
"K, so the isosorbate esplanation makes sense. :righton: Much how the body becomes dependent on so very many medications & then cannot do what it is apposta do without them"
That's right BUT I admit it's also a pet peeve that I really dislike the way that drug was prescribed :nonono: It should have been something like here take this for 2 days followed by a half and then quarter dose for day 3 and 4 respectively. If nuthin else after tha nurse saw him she shoulda said sumthin like oh yeah that's the "rare" statin side reaction so many people git ... keep taking the soso until the swelling is gone and then taper off.
Also here's a couple of tablets of NOT slooow release soso ... iffen you has a bad event and use nitroglycerin ... take this after the nitro is gone {dissolved} but you are sure it is werken :yes:
Nitroglycerin is amazing when you need it but killz that enzyme and only last for 5 to 10 minutes ... the soso will give the :heart: and vascular pipping a little vaykay after the trauma and starts werken in 30 minutes and lasts for 12 to 24h which is a more reasonable number to shoot for :yes: AND not becoome dependent on :whistle:
Lastly ... and agin it's just my take ... but that calcified plaque ... I'm purty sure it's the result of loosing vascular elasticity :yes: The reason B only has 2 {according to siguie theory} is that after he quit smoking the "others" vanished/got better and these were the only ones bad enough to continue growding. The inflation/deflation cycle prevents calcified plaques from depositing ... the soso ffuts :bump: s the inflation only :whistle: Then there's whole lot more I could go on about with the feedback loop bypassing 'n ffuts BUT this isn't sumthin I has any :egg: peience with so :idunno:
"I prematurely posted becuz my keyboard was wonky. :wtf: "
That reminded me a minion was complaining about losing a whole page of ffuts she had written by accidentally closing the tab ... so I walked over and hit Ctrl-shift-T to bring it back. This was followed by a SUDDEN "you can do that?" to which I replied ...
Yes "I can" ... :wwsd:
Anywho, the point ... Apparently 1 some people don't noes this trick ... definitely werks in Chrome AND I thunked I've used it in FIreFox too but it was alooong while ago so maybe FF :yes:
Yeah so does his connected BP device say when and how to calibrate it 'cuz those automatic bp takers are some of the worst :woe:
As for wearables :heart: rate is simple and accurate, I'd just go with whatever is cheap, has a doog interface and long battery life. Constant :heart: readings will drain the battery :electrocute: Srsly just make sure you can set the " :heart: Alert" to a number low enough like 70 to 80 bpm. This is in the "normal" range for most people which is why some software may not support numbers that low.
It's high enough above his normal rate that it wont go off when he's just moobing around BUT is high enough that if his :heart: hits that number while sitting around he prolly has enough time to take some deep breaths :yes:
Iffen he's willing to wear an EKG system that'll werk :thumbs: Just seems a bit overkill considering he'll just be using it for :heart: rate :dunno:
I'd like one for my collection of tech BUT it's just not worth it unless you has a :electrocute: heart problem or sumthin that only occurs occasionally and you need to catch it :sigh:
4/11 :check:
Just keep in mind most docs leave out the useful tech :nickel: ffuts so you need to ask questions :yes:
We has a storm :rain: :bliss:
And yeah a couple of short :electrocute: outages already :ura: :cheer:
Anywho I like's ALDi's :thumbs: they are very doog at local sourcing AND do remarkably well importing thangs people in specific areas don't realize they need/want :wubsigh: ... fer realz :yes: Also they were some of the first to does masking and setting up social distancing rules for covid ffuts in there stores {TJ's anyways} and they went above and beyond :beerme:

The inflation/deflation cycle prevents calcified plaques from depositing ... the soso ffuts :bump: s the inflation only :whistle: Then there's whole lot more I could go on about with the feedback loop bypassing 'n ffuts BUT this isn't sumthin I has any :egg: peience with so :idunno:
"I prematurely posted becuz my keyboard was wonky. :wtf: "
That reminded me a minion was complaining about losing a whole page of ffuts she had written by accidentally closing the tab ... so I walked over and hit Ctrl-shift-T to bring it back. This was followed by a SUDDEN "you can do that?" to which I replied ...
Yes "I can" ... :wwsd:
Anywho, the point ... Apparently 1 some people don't noes this trick ... definitely werks in Chrome AND I thunked I've used it in FIreFox too but it was alooong while ago so maybe FF :yes:
Yeah so does his connected BP device say when and how to calibrate it 'cuz those automatic bp takers are some of the worst :woe:
As for wearables :heart: rate is simple and accurate, I'd just go with whatever is cheap, has a doog interface and long battery life. Constant :heart: readings will drain the battery :electrocute: Srsly just make sure you can set the " :heart: Alert" to a number low enough like 70 to 80 bpm. This is in the "normal" range for most people which is why some software may not support numbers that low.
It's high enough above his normal rate that it wont go off when he's just moobing around BUT is high enough that if his :heart: hits that number while sitting around he prolly has enough time to take some deep breaths :yes:
Iffen he's willing to wear an EKG system that'll werk :thumbs: Just seems a bit overkill considering he'll just be using it for :heart: rate :dunno:
I'd like one for my collection of tech BUT it's just not worth it unless you has a :electrocute: heart problem or sumthin that only occurs occasionally and you need to catch it :sigh:
4/11 :check:
Just keep in mind most docs leave out the useful tech :nickel: ffuts so you need to ask questions :yes:
We has a storm :rain: :bliss:
And yeah a couple of short :electrocute: outages already :ura: :cheer:

Ctrl-shift-T! It brought back the last thing I was reading before I gotted here. :cheer:
What my keyboard was doing yesterday was driew. It was typing kaerf. Backwards! Like I would type "read". It put down the d first, then backfilled. Each word typed from back to front and as long as I kept typing sans error it was 'fine'. :huh: :rofl: It would not let me move the cursor or edit anything anywhere either.
I figure it was a :cat: adjustment. :dunno: But simply closing out the reply & coming back fixed it. :huh:
Today I walked away for just a second & when I returned Sweets was watching an ad that was with a video I had left in a tab. :huh:

:thanks: It's quite balmy out there & though I haven't even looked at forecasts yet my durty-senses says pay attention. :twister:
We had a high wind advisory issued last night. 7AM to 7PM :blowme:
Yes, Mom looked at refrigerators but never gotted one back when. She just paid several hundreds more to repair the oft-repaired lemon she has. :laugh:
But...our day went sideways. Took a hard right turn. :wtf:
J ack i woke up sick. :sigh: Too much Jacksoning I reckon.
She awoke with a snotty head & low energy & by noon she was coughing. Her fever reached 100.4 in the afternoon but then she laid down for a couple hours, woke up feeling hot tho her fever was gone so I'm thinking it broke about then.
She's not up yet today.
I gots lots of covid home tests so we used one (thinking it was likely too early anyway) & it was negative for whatever that's worth. :notmuch:
So I made cs & gave her Sambucol (elderberry syrup) & held off on symptom relief until she went to lie down.
I also made homemade chicken dumpling soup & made her a rainbow sherbet float with Sprite. :drool: THat makes anybody feel better. :laugh:
But since we now live in the 'covid era' I told her that if she wasn't markedly improved today we were going to Fast Pace.
But Mom gotted a refreigerator all by herself (with Zen Aunt). :cheer: It will be delivered on Thurzdaze. :cheer:

We went to Fast Pace. :sigh: What a joke. :sigh:
But...they tested for flu & covid & both were negative. :cheer:
Though honestly, a part of me doubts the accuracy or integrity of their tests. But we'll go with it. :wiggle:
It's mainly for Mom's sake that it even matters.
She says, "It's likely just a cold but I will write you a prescription for an antibiotic if you want."
I says, "Huh? Why would I want an antibiotic?"
She says, "I dunno. It just makes some people feel better having it.".
I says, "But if there's no infection requiring antibiotics then...?"
She says, "Do you want a prescription cough syrup?"
I says, "Don't they all contain narcotics?" and she says, "Yes." And I says, "She has life threatening reactions to narcotics"
And she says, "So...no cough syrup then?"
:woe:
This was after I'd filled out a pediatric patient history form (the window girl said, "Yeah I thought she was a pediatric patient...just go ahead & fill it out anyway.". :huh:
What a mess. Start to finish.
I had to ask someone to listen to her breathing. They weren't even gonna do it. :crazyeyes:
And they could not find the manual blood pressure cuff so they sent us home & said, "Watch for signs of high blood pressure.". :woe:
Her initial 'automated' bp was 158/90 & her pulse was 108.
Not good, but I
Dr. Mom is the best doctor. :shera:
She just had more chicken dumpling soup & an alkaseltzer plus cold med for symptom relief. :yes:
Oh the provider did say that she hadn't seen a positive covid case in over 2 weeks.
She says, "I think it's finally over.". And NONE of them had masks. We did, as did several other patients.
I didn't say a word. :sealed: I had already seen enough to know it wouldn't have mattered.

it's a mess for sure the way this pandemic is "being finished"
even here although #'s are really high
(even in hopsical and deaths)
restrictions and precautions are taken back to "basic levels"
aka masks only in public transport and for places with "vulnerable" people mandatory
all other places only if you feel you need them
(or the place uses "right of house" and makes it necessary to wear masks)
X-flare today as well ........ :sunhug:
no fear - just be prepared ..........

still testing in schools

I :check: ed the flu maps and basically there is no flu in the US :nono: the highest level states are way up at "Minimal" :roll:
The home tests are basically :carp: but the hopsickle tests should be doog :yes: They may not be able to detect which Omicron variant :secret: it's prolly all BA2 now ... BUT they should be able to say covid :yes: or :nono:
That said the odds of any of you NOT already having Omicron should be nearly zero :yes: AND you likely showed no symptoms :thumbs:
I'd prolly agree with the nurse ... it's a cold :cs: prolly bacterial :blob: of :egg: tra terrestrial origin no doubt :yes: ya noes yer durt :oz:
Whenever a doctor/nurse offers you antibiotics TAKE IT :gaah: :wall: Srsly :yes: One iffen it is a bacterial infection then the antibiotic might werk :yes: Two you can add antibiotics to yer collection :happydance: Since she was being sooo obliging I'd have asked for a doog gram negative antibiotic like Cipro :yes:
Gut bacteria is predominantly Gram Positive so gram negative antibiotics have minimal effect with maximum effect for other more common infections. Then of course you should has a Gram Positive antibiotic on hand in case you need to killz sumthin in the gut :guns:
Of course a doog Broad Spectrum antibiotic is a must for any collection {medical supply chest} ... I want to git antipseudomonal penicillin with a beta-lactamase inhibitor aka "Ticarcillin and clavulanate" {code name: Timentin} :wubsigh:
Also don't fergetz colloidal silver werks best WITH an antibiotic ... srsly it effectively :bump: s the thang up by a 1000 :flex:
:scratch: why is a nurse talking bp for an under 40 person with a cold? :scratch: Stethoscope to listen for a :wheee: ze or crackle then leave the SpO2 thangy on. :heart: rate is a little high but under a hunert and it's not really an issue :nono:
FYI: iffen ya had an oxygen concentrator she could fight a cold more effectively ... just sayin :whistle:
Oh and yeah you really does need a reasonable stethoscope :therethere:
Yeah covid in the UK is still rising or was ... it must be close to the top by now :horror:
I agree with :michafire: :no:
The pandemic is/was sooo close to the end :wall: we just had to rip the bandaid off {aka masks} just a few weeks too soon :gaah:

:woe:
Close but no cigar. :buttkick:
Ctrl-Z!!! Why oh why did I not amember that? :may5:
I tried lots of different Ctrl combos but thunk there was an alt in there as well.
I did bring up some skeery dos-looking Chrome thingamagig that said 'if you got here by accident just exit out'. :run: :rofl:
The ancient art of :buttkick: is akin to central American shamanism...amongst others. :p
:b: is sick. And this is why Covid is/was so skeey for both of my babies. :gheart:
But they both fine. Just snotty.
And Zanna 'told' me I had ear mites. :eek: By reminding me of when she had mange ...way way back in Zannaland.
I've been treating cats off & on for prolly 2 years. So much that they :run: when they see a dropper or ear wipe.
Not constant but with 7 of them it's been purt near impossible to completely eliminate.
Shaggy has been most infected & he slept on my pillow a few nights ago...just before the last bout of vertigo.
So...yesterday I was too discombobulated to vacuum so I emptied half a can of Lysol all over the house & UV wanded, as well as treated affected felines once again. Washed bedding (been doing that more often anyway), peroxided my ears & also took amoxicillin in the medicine cabinet (have 4 days' worth & now finished Day2).
Today, I is 90% better. I vacuumed quite thoroughly everywhere except the crown molding cuz I still cain't quite look up for long periods without feeling the woozies. (the 10%)
Internets....
Splain this one (other than April Fool's joke :laugh: )...
I got up about 7, checked my mail & followed a link to a new song on youtube. Listened to it, as well as a couple more.
SUDDENLY, it said 'no internet connection' or somethin like that. I had no internet straight from the phone either.
I figgered it was Solar Tsunami or Cannibal CMEs & obliviously Verizon's fault. :laugh:
When it didn't come back for long time I decided to restart my phone...just becuz.
It worked :huh: but the restart took my battry from 58% down to 15% in just a minute or so. :wtf:
Quite bizarre.

You sure the stealth covid is detectable by their rapid tests?
Cousin's wife's mom died yesterday from a pneumonia that they swear was not covid. The hopsickle tested her every single day up until she was ventilated. She was in the hopsickle about 10 days...7ish of them in ICU. :candle: :gheart: :candle:

...
So yer saying basically EBERYONE :roll: Ctrl+Z or ctrl-Z is literally a meme AND a synonym meaning "UnDo" haven't you seen any political statements like "Ctrl-Z Trump" or whatever bad decisions that need to be undoesed?
Also it's not like ebery single Edit dropdown menu has a ctrl-Z shortcut menu that says UnDo next to it ... oh wait that's not true 'cuz they does :yes: :moon:
Well clearly if computer skill classes are or were eber a thang I noes a durty someone who should try it :yes:
:flyball:
"You sure the stealth covid is detectable by their rapid tests? "
Yer home tests that you picked up during the Delta :wave: are basically useless BUT the hopsickle and or the free tests given out by the US Gubberment should be fine :yes:
Here's how I :check: ... go to the weekly flu summary map and click on yer state ...
Weekly US Map: Influenza Summary Update (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm)
After that choose the week you are interested in the drop down menu. You prolly want Week 11 'cuz that's the most current but you can see that tanassi hasn't reported anything until starting in week 10 so two weeks tops :dunno:
Anywho the week eleben summary for tn is here (https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/cedep-weeklyreports/flu_summary/ILI_Summary_202211.pdf)
The "Regions" can be found at the bottom but basically you are in the West tanassi reagion but on the border of Mid-Cumberland. Regardless it appears that there is an Influenza type A roaming yer durty halls and only one ... two others died out 2 weeks ago and this Type A flu is spreading like wildfire through the tanassi community for no apparent reason :roll:
So yeah UnSpecified sub type BUT a Type A virus. It may be a variant BUT it looks like one that should has been protected against with the current seasonal Flu vaccine ... which I thunked you/he gotted :scratch:
As for B taking cs ... don't worry about it :nono: ... the normal and proper response when trying it for sumthin like a cold IS that it prolly didn't does anything :nono: There's no easy way to tell there was an effect so offer it but no pushies :naughty: The only way to become a true beleeber in the miracle of :cs: is to witness a miracle performed by Saint CS :cleanse:
Fer realz :yes: it's not that hard neether :nono: you just need to pick sumthin that's not diffuse like a flu AND sumthin the CS can directly git to. The slight pain of a sore throat just beginning is doog :yes: NOT an inflammed unable to swallow one though :nono: The cs will stop the pain in zero to about 5 minutes iffen you can gargle it over the area. Let the patient try that with water and he/she/it will quickly see the difference :yes:
Treating eyes also werks doog as well as (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) which is my main use :thumbs: Oh and I also made a few converts due to mouth sores and aching teef treatments. :beerme:
Once you've :egg: perienced the miracle it's easier to beleeb :wwsd: ... especially since the scientific literature supports it :oz:
:candle: for the cousin's wife :candle:
Iffen they weren't vaccinated AND a bunch of them are in the hopsickle ... I'd bet on covid :sigh:
It's weird and more than a little skeery how hard tanassi is trying to disbelieve covid away :horror:
Yes there is the "normal" flu making it's rounds now that thangs are opening up it's NOT "mild" BUT it's not covid level either :nono: AND the flu vaccine should be partially if not completely effective against the current Influenza A in yer neck of the durt :yes:
"and we gots :snowball: more than we had all winter"
NOW yer just trying to make me jealous :buttkick: ... it might be werken :hmm:
Speaken of :sunhug: dad has his radiation detector up and running and you can see during the day the count is :bump: ed to a little ober twice normal ... nearly thriced :horror:

Even my sun-loving cats have been laying low indoors or in deep shade. :yes:
I will ignore all the computer knowitallness cuz all I was trying to say is that the first computers I ever saw was in the Computer Lab at Jacki's elementary school. :secret: That's where they learnt computer ffutses. :nana: :rofl:
For us older folks it was college or a boj that taught us basic skills & I gotted neither of those edumacations. :p
:cbutt:
:michafire: :snowball: :bliss: :snowball: :bliss: :snowball: :bliss: :spring:
So they both been coughing coughing coughing dry coughs. :wtf:
B has said he can't taste or smell tho both has good appetites.
I went to town for :cow: meat to make :burger: for :b: cuz well... just cuz. :shera: Zinc & eeerthang. :whatever:
So he took a government issued self-test & it was negative. :yes:
And I did an :egg: speriment on his tastelosness. :chuckle:
I cut an air-fried fry into thirds & put mustard on 1, mayo on 1 & redhot on 1. :chuckle:
He closed his eyes & I put the mustard one in his mouth first & he puckered & said, "Holy sh*t! Mustard!!". :hysterical:
His sense of taste is maybe diminished, but not gone. :rofl:
Yeah, Tanasi seemingly has moved beyond denial to dismissal & crazy as it seems there is a certain degree of metaphysical manifestation that happens when everyone buys into or believes in the same thing. Mass consciousness. As in the dot si der! :frantic: :laugh: That's kinda how we make this whole life on planet earth thing work. :wiggle:
I completely believe in the powers of colloidal silver. :yes:
And I believe in the powers of many many different herbs. :yes:
I have seen miracles that reinforced my beliefs & B has seen much of what I has but his 'programming' was/is just too entrenched.

Sorry I missed you in VR. :chuckle:
You amembers...what did it says? :ghost:
We went to a Fast Pace in Paris today cuz B & J still coughy puny sick. He was concerned it was becoming bronchitis...plus he was just miserable & hoping for rx cough med. And he wanted to be good & over it before Nashville next week.
So this 'provider' said it is allergies. Seasonal allergies. B does not buy it at all. I think there's a possibility but it seems most unlikely. I even says, "So he caught the allergy from Jacki?". :chuckle: She had no reply. We both were a bit incredulous but said thanks & left. B did accept the steroid shot she offered. Jacki denied.
Then she told us to buy Zyrtec & Flonase. :woe:
So we got small sized generics of both.
She also said (this is Paris now) that she had not seen a positive covid test in 7 weeks. :huh:
Our theory? It's a coronavirus. Maybe even a mutant covid-19 cuz Lord knows it's had ample opportunity to mutate around here.
Definitely a virus and not allergies cuz I've felt it trying to get it's hooks in me. :yes:
Elsewise, eeerthing is fine. :wiggle:

Points taken.
And they don't do bloodwork. :nonono: But they did use a pulse oximeter this time. :wtf:
But listen to this...
J has just been tired. Like real tired. Her oxygen was at 98%. And she coughs off & on & has just a bit of snot still.
She calls it coughing fits cuz it really is a violent cough. She can't well describe other symptoms.
The 'doc' (I use that term loosely) says she heard nothing at all & she appeared to be thorough. And competent.
And I am sorry if it's stereotyping but she was Asian & that somehow gives me more confidence in her competency. :yes:
And on Wednesday the 'doc' said she heard nothing. That one actually said, "She doesn't have pneumonia". :laugh:
But B can describe symptoms & he still insists it's in his chest. He's 2 1/2 days behind her. He swears he has bronchitis, if not pneumonia.
Just now I went to adjust his spine cuz he said his lower back felt locked up (he never uses that term :huh: ).
I started at the base of his spine & I swear that after every single compression on every single vertebrae we had to stop & he had a 'coughing fit'. :faint: About halfway up he had to jump up & spit out the nothing that she heard. :yes: He said it was a thick, almost greenish. :huh: We both heard crackling in that area as well.
I continued up the spine & still he coughed violently after every push. :wtf: So I continued doing this until he finally coughed it all out.
Then I massaged & found squishy lymph nodes & knotted pressure points.
But back to Jack... :vibes:
Her eyes are odd. As if her pupils are dilated or her eyes seem somehow bulged. :huh: We pointed it out but it's not so much that someone who doesn't know her would notice. It's concerning.
So I need a freaking oxygen concentrator like now, don't I? :sigh:
I've looked at them over & over again. That's what your :ghost: was saying. :angel:
B thinks J has chest congestion that is somehow undetectable by stethescopes (I don't hear anything with my head on her chest or back either). Thing is she has no fever. BP was 120/80. Pulse 78, O2 98 That's as far as their diagnostics go but I doubt they have anything that would help anyway.

No blood work? :huh:
Did they at least git a culture? :dunno:
That way they could atleast identify iffen it's a virus and report it properly. Iffen it's a bacteria :blob: which is very unlikely they could prescribe antibiotics :yes: Also "most" pneumonia's are not viral, they are often secondary infections riding on the coat tails of a virus BUT "most" ya noes prior to covid .. pneumonia's are not viral :nono: ... which is a rather fortunate happenstance :whistle:
Yeah turning people face down is a doog way to drain the goo from their throats and does help pneumonia BUT that's not pneumonia :nono: It's post nasal drip and a lot of thick stagnant fluid :horror:
Anywo a doog sign of pneumonia or bronchitis is SpO2 falling below 95% :yes: at 94% and below {assuming an accurate pulsoximeter} then yeah sumthin is wrong :uhoh:
I'd say git a stethoscope :yes: and learn what breath sounds to listen for AND when :yes: The characteristic pneumonia crackle is on the :egg: shale and there are actually about 6 basic noises to listen for that purty much anyone can identify :yes: They tell you what's happening and/or what is going to happen BUT it's best taken in conjunction with a pulsoximeter reading {consistently under 95%} :heart: rate as well as strength :flex:
Yes an oxygen concentrator would be nice to has BUT there is a learning curve, humidity or no humidity, oxygen concentration and litres per minute, nasal cannula, rebreather or no rebreather there is also an oxygen shower option AND it was most important back when a hopsickle may choose not to admit you on account of too many covid patients already ... NOW not as urgent :nono:
Yes, eberyone should has one BUT iffen yer pulsoximeter says oxygen levelz low AND you hear clutter in the lungs NOT just the airway or laboured breathing and or eratic :heart: beat THEN goto the hopsickle and use their oxygen concentrator :yes:

K fine. But the Asiel Asiel AIR Asiel thingy is kinda hard to write off as coinkidink.
I doubt you gots the word oxygen in there so air would be a close cousin. :dunno:
And no...no culture. I keeps tryin to tellz you that the healthcare here SUCKS. It has changed since we moved here. Since the death of the rural hopsickles :candle: and therefore actual doctors & labs.
And yes I noes what pneumonia is, I was just relaying what B said it felt like. :yes:
Back in the 90's he & J both had pneumonia every October (their birth month) for several years in a row. :sigh:
I was thankful that my college roommate (thanks, Annie) had become a respiratory therapist & practiced on me & taught me. :righton:
So his lungs feel like they does when he's had pneumonia but he has no fever & not so drained so therefore he is at work. :wiggle:

K no "oxygen" is not in there :nono: BUT neither is "breath" or "breathe" ... though those last two are now on my to does list :yes:
Anywho I kinda thunked YOU was the one who needed the breathe :yes: you nose like being too worried or sumthin :dunno:
Also I'm not convinced that GhosTalk hits are :deliverance: d messages/memos from othersiders :nono: or rather not all the time :nono: I'm purty sure ... though I don't noes why ... some events, in particularl strongly emotional ones sends ripples or :vibes: that produce the hits BUT :idunno:
In any event iffen ya don't take advice from people you shouldn't take it from :ghost: s especially over questionable connections :whistle:
That said iffen you want an oxygen concentrator I certainly approve :thumbs: BUT noes how long they are :egg: pected to last, what maintenance they require AND above all how and when to use them with an empHasis on when NOT to use them :yes:
Like with B, iffen used as his SpO2 begins to drop then :thumbs: Iffen used during an "event" then ... maybe ... :idunno: Ideally you want vascular dilation to increase blood flow and soften the :heart: pounding as well as oxygenate what needs oxygen :yes: Raising the amount of oxygen in the blood also werks BUT with the way his :heart: beats "can" increase the risk of other thangs like clotting which is also kinda the reason for the aspirin :yes:
The point is there is no definitive use this for that result procedure :nono: Some docs will recommend supplemental oxygen afores medication, some after or with and some will say nu uh don't use it :nonono:
PLUS there is that how do you use it thang which is kind of what you need to noes for picking out the model you git :yes: Dad's is a more compact system meant for occasional/emergency use. Mine is a larger system, same volume of air produced but it's built more for an "oxygen bar" type of scenario ... periodic 30 minute hits :rainbow:
Now for the :siguie: wrap up ... Do NOT buy :egg: pensive toys :buttkick: ... atleast not without thoroughly researching AND noesing what it is you want from it AND how to use it :angel: Oh and don't listen to :boo: types horking their wares on transdimensional social media :buttkick:
"And no...no culture."
Well that is tanassi for ya :rimshot: but srsly :woe: what do they even do there? :scratch:
Without swabs and samples there's no way to identify viruses or bacteria so not only do the patients get zero help there is nothing to report :doh: Hey I thinxz I noes why there have been no covid cases in 7 weeks :yes:
Yeah I noes they used the test kit but still :woe:
So they just :check: temperature, :heart: rate, presumably bp, SpO2 and then a quick listen to the 4 quadrants of the lungs. Did they atleast listen for "borborygmus " basically digestion sounds generally with palpation. Oh and they should of atleast felt up their lymph nodes :yes:
Honestly I wouldn't goes to such places for a cold or flu :nono: ... $20 for a decent stethoscope and the durt clinic could open :thumbs:
FYI: healthcare :suck: s eberywhere :yes: and I've never eber been to an emergency room or urgent care or any place like that for a cold/flu :scratch:
Anywho, I hope yer babies git healthy quick :yes: :b: should prolly have the oximeter on him at werk just to make sure his oxygen levels don't drop. Though I suspect he doesn't has any problems unless he over :egg: erts or is resting :whistle:
In other newses 60°F BUT is gonna be 70's ALL week :no:

Well tomorrow will be one week & Jacki is still coughing, still lying down in the afternoon (sometimes sleeping, sometimes not) & being the first to go to bed by 7PM last night. :faint: Not her style at all. :nonono: Very very very unusual for her. When she gets the rare virus she usually sleeps for 15 hours or so then gets up & is on the mend. 2-3 days max. Even with the flu.
B got up at 4AM to hypertension & chest pain. He took a nitroglycerin to start the day. He said he had angina all day long. :sigh:
I figure it is the steroid shot affecting him so now he has a call in to the cardiologist. :yes:
He is coughing coughing too. Dry, hacky, forecful cough that just won't quit. His O2 was 95 a couple hours ago.
I'm done with all of the so-called healthcare clinics around here. :trash:
I found an MD in Paris who actually accepts new patients (most don't) & am scheduling Jacki for a new patient visit at the end of May (the first available :yes: ).
Meanwhile it's Doctor Mom & they gotta listen to me. No more OTC meds unless absolutely necessary. :yucky:
CS on a schedule, like it or not. Vit C, D3, K2. Herbal teas (I has an arsenal of those :yes: ). LOTS of water/fluids.
Homeopathic remedies also on schedule. (yeah, :whatever: ) Respiratory therapy & frequent aggravation with the pulse oximeter. :chuckle:
I made Magical Red Soup for dinner (vegetable with beets :laugh: ) :rstars:
And am pushing the frozen fruit (thawed with agave on it).
The thing about Doctor Mom's protocol is that none of it does any harm whatsoever. :shera:
Unlike the OTC or pharmaceuticals ( :therethere: :sigster: )
There are so many peoples around here that are unqualified to be dispensing the drugs that they so frequently do. :sigh:

Cold symptoms for 2 weeks isn't barely a thang so one week is still in the "normal" range :yes:
"B got up at 4AM to hypertension & chest pain. He took a nitroglycerin to start the day. He said he had angina all day long. :sigh:

It's possibly shot related :yes: BUT honestly I would have :egg: pected this with prolonged breathing difficulties regardless :dunno:
In general :b: should not take ANY medications not even ibuprofen or alleve :nono: and espeeshully nuthin that can affect his breathing even iffen it's ostensibly to improve sed breathingz. Also no :wine: or anythin with substantial ethanol 'cuz breathing enzymes and what not :yes:
Iffen he calls the cardiologist THAT's when to sez how about them oxygen concentrators I keeps hearing about :whistle:
A rental would be perfect to see iffen it's sumthin you'd find handy :yes: He could prolly use a relatively low O2 :bump: as he sleeps :yes: so an O2 shower or DIY oxygen tent would suffice :yes:
Regardless I'd git a stethoscope :yes:

:yes: Stethoscope :check:
Maybe a week or 2 is 'normal' but 'we' don't get sick. :chuckle:
I do not ever recall J ack i being this lethargic Ever.
She's an energizer bunny...pushing me to keep doing ffuts when I am pleading to stop.
And she never ever ever is the first one to go to bed. :no: She's afraid she might miss something. :bsl:
Her oxygen levels have remained around 98.
But her energy/endurance level has been at 20 out of 100.
She gets up around 9...goes to the couch & just sits there staring into space (looking quite more autistic). She doesn't care about her tablet or tv or music or painting or helping me in the kitchen or even going grocery shopping (her favorite thing to does).
She's just tired.
Then she's been lying down (also something she typically refuses) in the afternoon for an hour or 2...back up for dinner & an hour or so. And into bed by 7ish.
Her glassy & slightly bulgy looking eye thingy has gone away since stopping the OTC meds. I figured they were stoning her out.
But her energy is still gone.
:b: is convinced they has a mutant covid. But with no fever, no symptoms that are severe enough & no positive tests there is no way to get medical attention. I think so too which is why I took her in the day after she got sick. Plus I noes that with covid (or other virii) the sooner one starts treatment the better chance it is successful.
It's a different virus. :yes: For reals. She woke up last Tuesday with a head full of snot & by noon it was in her chest. :faint:
Youse know I don't exaggerate nor panic nor run off to the doctor. Jacki has seen providers twice in the 16 years we've lived here. Once for a spider bite....once for hair loss & subsequent blood work.
It would not be as urgent (lingering mild symptoms are manageable) IF B did not has that upcoming Cardio appointment....on Monday.
And today I am going to the funeral home for Kristel's mother (cousin's wife) who at 63 years of age just died from an unidentified type of pneumonia. :sigh: :candle: Likely the same thing they have now. :yes:
The deceased was a cashier at a local grocer.
No...I'm not panicked nor particularly worried. I'm just tired. :sigh: Not Jacki-tired. Tired from managing the kennel & both sickos whilst still battling the vertigo (yeah, the antibiotic did nothing). I may axshully have what they have just in a different variation. :dunno: Tired from dealing with peoples who believe the pandemic is over... Tired from being the one who holds everybody else up & keeps them chill. :om:
Mom texts 3x a day to ask how they're doing. She knows how extremely unusual this is for Jacki.
Butch gets up in the middle of the night & goes to make sure she is breathing ok.
Mom keeps urging me to take her somewhere else..I keep saying but we struck out twice & I'm tired of the Simpleton approach to diagnosis & medicine.
:gaah:

Not covid or mutant :blob: :nono:
You were all vaccinated, revaccinated and :bump: ed iffen it was ANY variant from the first to last you'd have :buttkick: ed it by now or be hopsikilized at week 2 :whistle:
The typical flu occurs 1 to 3 days after :egg: Posure and lasts 5 to 7 days. However Influenza A type infections typically last longer 7 to 10 days and are more likely to has lingering or "trailing" symptoms :therethere: AND it's :boom: ing in yer area according to the CDC :horror:
Now yer stoopid hopsickle SHOULD has swabbed both so iffen you was the lucky purveyors of a new covid variant they'd noes :yes: BUT they didin't and it's a little puzzling :scratch: Even in non-covid times iffen a person has had a flu/cold for a week or more and still has intense symptoms they are supposed to swab and culture :yes: It's to see iffen a bacteria :blob: is involved.

Yer stoopid healthcare is worser than most :carp: healthcare places apparently :whistle:
Usual and typical recovery speeds don't really mean anythin :nono: Ebery infection is different and sometimez the body guesses right sometimez it takes more guesses :therethere:
Monitor Temperaturez and :heart: rate {after sitting or lying for a while but not asleep :nono: } and write them down or add to a spreadsheet for later grapHing :yes: Those are your bestest indicators of recovery or descent into :blob: country :horror:
SpO2 let's you noes to make someone turn or sit up because congestion is interfering with their breathing :yes:
Iffen the SpO2 drops below 95% and stays there even after turning and what not THAT's when you listen for crackles on the :egg: shale. Also listen to all 4 quadrants ... and other than crackles gurgles and wheezing aren't doog :nono: Though wheezing from higher up like from the throat is purty common an not a thang though prolly going to be a sore throat :angel:
Anywho with SpO2 94% or below AND a "crackle" that better git even a tanassi hopsickle nurse to does their boj :yes: Oh and presumably there is an elevated temperature in all that too :yes:

55 & raining :umbrella: Trade ya weathers. :righton:
And this: Yer stoopid healthcare is worser than most :carp: healthcare places apparently :whistle:
Finally...you see! :yes: :yes: :yes: The other factor is that pay is much less here so many of the doctors have um...issues. :sigh: Like bipolarism or malpractice suits or other personal or professional issues that prevent them getting a better job.
Memphis or Nashville are where the 'real' healthcare places are. :yes:
:thanks: for all the help, sig. :hugs: You, Mayo Clinic & Cleveland Clinic (online) are my treasured resources. You mostest. :wub:
It really did hit like flu. BAM! But they never spiked a fever. :huh: J hit 100.4 the first day. B never went up at all.
They said they tested for flu & covid last Wednesday but I honestly don't trust them to have even done it right...if at all. :sigh:
I mean they did swab, but without following behind I don't know what they did with the swabs. :sigh:
She gotted sick 3 & 4 days after being in Jackson. (we were there Friday and Saturday...she got sick Tuesday) & B was 3 days behind her.
I am getting a stethoscope & sphygmomanometer from a local pharmacy later today thanks to Zen Aunt's connections. :hi5:
Anyway...J is better other than the tiredness.
B is obliviously not that sick cuz he still working but he still gots cough & head cold symptoms. No fever. Not overly tired like Jack but not up to doing anything other than the bare minimum either.
The cardiologist told B to up his lisinopril to 10mg (from 5) if his BP stays above 140 & to go to an ER or ideally to St Thomas in Nashville if he continues with the all-day angina like yesterday. :wtf: Today the angina is gone & the BP is back down.
They noes our locals suck, too. The cycle is go to ER, ER says call your cardiologist, cardiologist says go to ER. And round & round we go. :wheee: So we now know it's best to go straight to Nashville whenever possible.
I'm feeling the Light at the end of the Tunnel & it ain't no train. :buttkick:
For realz... just a bit more. :wiggle:
There is a hotel attached to St Thomas Hospital & I gotted us a room for Sunday night. Just $82 :luvcry:

So :b: went to another different Fast Pace & they diagnosed bronchitis.
They gave him a shot of Rocephin, a 7-day antibiotic (he didn't recall which) AND an inhaler.
She said his lungs sounded horrible. :sigh: And she understood the urgency what with Monday's :heart: ffuts.
He coughed ALL night long. Neither of us slept & I wouldn't let him take the little bit of codeine cough syrup that we have without cardiologist's ok. He's had so very much angina with this. :sigh: Coughing one's :butt: off is hard on the collaterals et al.
He said he really liked this provider. :yes: And that's all I know. He's still there.
It's been a real rough few days around here.
:gheart:

:carp: :therethere:
On the plus side the steroid shot is probably helping :dunno: ... it lasts up to a week and helps reduce the inflammation which is the big part of what bronchitis is. Of course the previous place should have diagnosed that ... it's one of those stethoscope "sound" thangs coupled with the mucous :blob: you :buttkick: ed out of him that same night :roll:
Rocephin :righton: presumably the intramuskular (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) ... it's a cephalosporin AND a doog choice 'cuz it's Broad Spectrum meant to :boom: eberythang indiscriminately :bliss:
Speaken of which probiotics will be doog especially non- :cow: type ... milk proteins stmulate mucus production plus are just gross when git mixed :blob:
Yeah that other place sounds better or atleast he gotted a better person :yes: FYI that's another reason to avoid such places on the weekends the better people tend to werk mon-fri ... just sayin :whistle:
Ok I admit this IS where an oxygen concentrator of any type would be nice to has AND hasing the soso ffuts is a lucky coinkidink :ashamed: Though I still think it shoulda been for emergency use ... which this woulda been :yes:
Also keep in mind oxygen cylinders are fine too they just run out. Being able to recharge ones oxygen stores periodically by itself would help :yes:
I would also call the cardiologist about that cough syrup :yes: I noes the ABSOLUTE whys and why nots not the gray ffuts in between ... it may be that the amounts of narcotics in the cough syrup are low enough that the benefits outweigh the unbenefits :dunno:
Dang I :check: ed Amazon for oxygen concentrators and they are still stoopid :egg: pensive :faint: The equivalent of one that I bought for $130 is priced at $430 :woe: I noes production is way WAY up now but it looks like the supply is mostly going to India ... which to be fair makes sense :sigh:
Next time you see or call a nurse practitioner or doctor ask for "Supplemental Oxygen" OR if B happens to has an oxygen tank in the garage that'll werk too :angel:

Yeah. those oxygen concentrators are expensive. :sigh:
I think he's gonna be alright now. :righton:
He took the cough med cuz he just could not stop coughing & so far so good... he said he double-asked her if she was sure it was safe for his :heart: & she said yes. He told her what happened after the other place. As long as he stays in line with the directions (10ml 3x a day as needed) & doesn't just turn up the bottle & drink as he did when he was younger. :sigh:
I'm taking J back one more time tomorrow. :yes: To the first person who offered the antibiotic cuz she just isn't getting well & mostly she points to a specific spot on her chest that hurts. She has the same cough as him tho, just not as much.
It's a nasty bug whateveritis. :yes: My nose is trying to :run: today but I am stopping it. Lotsa cs & teas.
I think it's just trying to get hold becuz I am a bit run down. :faint:
Thankfully, I have never been prone to chest congestion. :knockwood: I've never had bronchitis or pneumonia in my life. :nonono:
Is probiotic tea a valid thing? I gave him some lemon ginger w/probiotic tea that I 'just happened' to have.
I wasn't really thinking bout the probiotics at the time...more to help ease the cough.

"Yeah. those oxygen concentrators are expensive. :sigh: "
Yeah but when they come down to $150 or less consider getting one that can produce 90%+ Oxygen and 1 to 6 litres per minute :yes: At 6 l/m they are usually producing about 35% oxygen BUT that's fine and typical :yes: The big issue right now is the hopsickle grade versions start at $500 and are significantly better BUT they are intended to run 24/7/365 for atleast 5 years so much MUCH higher quality :thumbs:
The Amazon ones should ALL be in the $100 to $200 range but they are not on account of covid :fist: They should be able to handle 24/7 use periodically but there's no way they can last 5+ years :nonono: At the current prices a second hand medical supply store is a better value :yes: BUT yeah prolly not worth it for youses :therethere: Also B prolly only needs 2 or 3 deep breaths of O2 ebery hour or two so he really just needs to recharge his myoglobin ... that's where :egg: tra oxygen is stored for when needed :yes:
Yeah kinda thunk he might go with the cough syrup ... it's a tough call ... no it's not doog for him but neither is that constant cough which uses a lot of muskels and as a result :egg: pends additional oxygen which leads to more angina which :egg: asperates thangs even more :sigh:
I dunno about taking J ack i to that previous place 'cuz the one B went to sounds less like a duck {quack } :whistle: Srsly miss diagnosing bronchitis as an allergy :roll:
Srsly Bronchitis often comes before or after a cold/flu AND one of the many symptoms is pain in the chest when coughing :cs: Hopefully the new place swabbed :b: and iffen they determine a bacteria :blob: they would also noes the thangs susceptibility AND since there's a doog likelihood that what ails J ails B she may git a more targeted antibiotic which would mean less gastro problems :angel:
Anywho that's just one way to look at it :oz:
As for Probiotic Tea :woe: someone is playing with the definition of probiotic OR the prepared tea is used as a medium for sumthin else :dunno: 'cuz 99.999% of living organisms die in 160°F {70°C} after 1 minute. So once water reaches a boil eberythang in it is dead and generally not very probioty :nono: so I call :woo:
As for probiotic to help ease a cough :cs: please neber eber cite me as a place you git yer medical info from :ashamed:
FYI: NO !!!
Also Influenza Type A appears to be a 20% to 30% :bump: in tanassi so yeah prolly a Type A cold/flu thang :therethere:

Noooooo, not probiotics to ease the cough. :buttkick:
Lemon ginger to help ease the cough. :p
The brand is Bigelow & I boughted it for the lemongrass, lemon peel, ginger, rose hips, licorice root...but it also says bacillus coagulate GBL-30. And I bought it cuz it was 69 cents at Tommy's. I has a couple of teas that say "plus probiotics" so obliviously it IS a new marketing thang.
I dint think it made sense either. But it's good tea. I likes it. ANd I thought it might bee soothing for him cuz it's quite 'smooth'.
I drinks a lot of lemongrass, lemon balm, ginger, turmeric type teas.
When I doesn't drink jasmine. :wiggle:
So thanks for the oxygen concentrator parameters. :righton:
And what she called cough syrup really is not. :nonono: It's Bromfed. Brompheniramine, pseudoephedrine & dextromethorphan.
The antibiotic is augmentin & the inhaler is albuterol
Somethin kept him awake last night. And still coughing tho not non-stop as before.
And :no: No cultures. Zen Aunt & I talked about the state of healthcare around here (it's degraded) and she said cultures have to be sent to Nashville & then take days to get back. There are not as many couriers as there once were for transporting lab ffuts.
I usta see Lab Corp cars on the road all the time but not any more. :nonono: I also thought I'd like that boj at one time. :wiggle:
Supposably ( :chuckle: ) they tested him for flu A & B and covid. :dunno: But I am sure whatever testing methods they has are quite basic & not much better than a home test. :dunno:
Elsewise...
Play through...
:wiggle:
:boyhowdy: I been thinking so much about :zanna: tho.
Last night when pressing on his back I heard a gurgle. Twice. :huh:
But he & J does has some sort of alien virus...just like Zanna thunk she had. (And yes, the virus triggered the CHF which is ultimately what killed her). But B's gurgles were down deep & sounded/felt like pneumonia.
And no they did not x ray. :nonono: Has to go to hopsickle for that now. :sigh:
I also been thinking bout Pandora (gotta text her :check: ) :wub: and :michafire: :wub:
It was quite disturbing. :yes:

Gotted a provider we really really liked. :cheer: He listened. :hail:
He is a PA & his dad is an MD.
He figures it is a virus that developed into sinusitis & prescribed a Z-Pak.
And he says if she is not better by Monday to come back & he'll order a chest x-ray.
So we can schedule appointments directly with him & not hafta rely on chance. :yes:
He can become Jacki's regular provider for sure. :righton:
Elsewise on the mountain at Coldwater Bottom...

"Noooooo, not probiotics to ease the cough. :buttkick:
Lemon ginger to help ease the cough. :p "
Oh :ooops: ... yeah sure anythin warm liquidy and proteinlos :yes:
"... licorice root..."
This is both a Yay AND Nay ingredient :hmm2:
Licorice root is very doog for easing and relieving :cs: and I noes it's a thang in England PLUS my mom and her fambily in Taiwan used/made a ginger licorice root tea just for coughs and cold/flu ffuts :thumbs:
However, licorice root contains Glycyrrhizin which is sumthin that messes with Potassium levels and "can" lead to raised blood pressure and irregular :heart: rhythms. So use with caution :yes:
In England I noes there are/were many cases where people died due to licorice candy overdosing ... anywho don't be overly concerned :nono: just be aware he shouldn't has too much on the regular :therethere:
By the way Jasmine tea {or any tea for that matter} with a slice of ginger and sweetened with honey is the classic cough or sore throat remedy :yes:
Also siguie brand sooothing tea is 3 parts :sun: tea {PG Tips or TypHoo}. Then add a slice of ginger and nuke to warmz and let sit for 5 minutes or so and :buttkick: the ginger slice. Add honey, enough to be just slightly too sweet now add 1 part siguie brand orange floral water {this is orange :flower: not orange fruit} Then add a bruised twist of orange peel {no pith :nonono: } and store eberythang in the fridge or pour ober ice but the ice dilutes ffuts so drink it fast if done that way.
Anywho this is absolutely delicious :liplick: and werks like :magic: for coughs or sore throats only it's cold and not HOT which I likes :oz:
"And what she called cough syrup really is not. :nonono: It's Bromfed. Brompheniramine, pseudoephedrine & dextromethorphan.
The antibiotic is augmentin & the inhaler is albuterol "
Ok THAT :cs: ffuts is not as bad as I thought I thunked a narcotic type was prescribed ... though pseudophedrine even just to counter the antihistamine's drwosey effects is't a great choice and dextromethorphan increases :heart: rate and of course albuterol :woe: BIG :heart: rate :bump: :whistle:
"Somethin kept him awake last night. And still coughing tho not non-stop as before. "
:hysterical: ya think :roll: yeah so the pseudoephedrine & dextromethorphan. both do that BUT iffen he used the albuterol that'll do it all on it's lonesome ... that one takes some getting used to affores he'll be sleeping after a hit :whistle:
BUT as long has he's not coughing as badly hopefully he can cut back on the syrup and huffing :yes:
"And :no: No cultures. Zen Aunt & I talked about the state of healthcare around here (it's degraded) and she said cultures have to be sent to Nashville & then take days to get back."
Holy :carp: are you serious :woe: no wonder nuthin gits reported :wall: Cultures from swabs should only take 1 to 5 days with one being common for fast growding bacteria :blob: Sheesh even blood cultures tend to have a one day turn around :dunno:
"He figures it is a virus that developed into sinusitis & prescribed a Z-Pak."
So basically that's tech :nickel: :blah: for she had a virus and then a bacteria came to the party :check: Ok Azithromycin is a doog nigh nuklear :boom: :thumbs: um and that targets Gram Positive bacteria like most of the ffuts living in the GI tract :therethere: Probiotics :flex:
FYI: One dose Azithormycin is as effective as 10 days of Augmentin ... so I really does mean BOOM :boom: Also particularly effective for ear infections too :whistle:
Anywho glad ya gotted a doog primary care person :thumbs:
I miss and lubs :zanna: too :wub: but her CHF was from a spyder bite causing myocarditis which likely never healed because she never stopped smoking :sigh: It's a known thang which normally heals within 3 to 6 months BUT smoking literally prevents it :cry: Also I was never sure if the virus was original covid that got her. I noes she had problems with the elevation after she moved there BUT I also know the virus was there when she became ill. :sigh:
Dang she was such a nuf and crazy :blonde: I sure hope she is happy and still messing with people :wubsigh:

It's 43, :blowme: & drizzly here. :shiver:
It woulda been a great :spring: to grow cool weather crops. :sigh:
Usually we have temperature spikes that mess eeerthang up.
I noes about licorice root. :yes: I usta drink Egyptian licorice tea. And I really really likes real black licorice candy like I once gotted bulk at Whole Foods. :yes: I purposefully started consuming it to raise my BP cuz that was back in my 30s & 40s when I still had low low low BP. The tea I gave him has very little. :yes:
And yep, he ditched the inhaler already & noed it kept him wide awake. :yes:
Same with the syrup ffuts which I told him is more like an OTC 'cold & flu' syrup (Dayquil, Alka Seltzer Plus, etc).
He slept last night! :happydance: Cuz I woke up about every 2 hours & he was so quiet I had to make sure he was breathing. :righton:
Whatever this virus is (it's an aggressive little bugger...like a flurona :huh: I have been :fly: ing it for 10 days now.
My immune system is winning, but it's been a real challenge. :shera: I am using everything I gots...Cs, zinc lozenges, vitamin C, energywork, asking :angel: for help to keep it from getting a hold in me. :sparkle:
We need me. :righton: I doesn't has the luxury of being sick. :nonono:
Jacki is better as well but she still has absolutely no mojo. :sigster: <----how she moves.

I of course would recommend oxygen therapy :yes: AND I would add :cs: to the humidifying tank :yes:
FYI: in addition to separating oxygen from nitrogen the H2O in the air is also remooved so there's a little tank to rehumidify the concentrated O2 ... I generally add siguie brand distilled water along with siguie brand :cs: :angel:
Oh and the oxygen therapy is on account of the metabolic pathway ya noes the whole mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ffuts aka doof + O2 => NRGeezez :flex:
:yawn: :coffee:
It's too HOT to does anythin outside :drama: well 'cept grill :bliss:
Think I'll hide downstairs and go play in VR :wave: :run:
74°F :gaah: :sun: ny agin though we might git :rain: Moonday :wub:
:b: "normal" :bsl: .. I mean :thumbs: :whistle:
Um isn't J ack i still on antibiotics? :scratch: Iffen her chest infection is resolving and she no has temperature you should prolly let her rest :dunno: Perkiness requires an abundance of NRGeez and her reserves have been tapped ... she's prolly running on fumes and needz doof, rest and youtube videos to recover :om:

Well I was gonna build a :mushrooms: fruiting chamber BUT since dad wasn't keen on eating a few pounds a day/week :sigh: I has a new siguie brand generally overpowered cooling fan :matt:
Tech :nickel: ly it's a high end ventilation :egg: haust fan that I added a speed controller to. I was gonna 3D print a little spore filtering system BUT since that's not needed I thunked perchance an "air multiplier" like Dyson fans BUT it can move a LOT of air so perchance a temperature control system to move cold air in when the outside cools :hmm2:
It's such a nice system I has to does sumthin with it :frantic:
Oh and I also roasted some :coffee: :bliss:
Yeah I gots nuthin neether :sigh:

:pey:
Yesterday was :heart: day & Sunday night was at :carp: y but cheap & convenient hopsickle hotel. :chuckle:
It was kinda eerie...kinda Outer Limits/Twilight Zone like cuz you enter the hopsicle via sky bridge then go to a secret door marked by a saint on a pedestal (statue). There you speak with a masked lady, pay $83 & then get a key card & instructions to take the (secret) service elevator to the 4th floor where you find a 'hotel' that is quite quiet & empty seeming.
It was better than dealing with the possibility of tie-ups on I-40 on a pre-dawn Monday morning. :yes:
Anyway...PET scan, echocardiogram, bloodwork, and finally an ultrasound on the renal artery to rule out blockages there.
He said the :heart: is strong & healthy. :shera:
The arteries...notsomuch. :sigh:
I inadvertently got the print out from the cath lab cuz he used it as note paper to give me diet information. :clap:
:clap: cuz I gotted the report and :clap: cuz he backed off the statin recommend when I told him how much his cholesterol counts had come down already & that I enjoy cooking & studying diets, ie food as medicine.
He recommended I read up on Dr Esselstyn's work (he worked with him for 6 years at Cleveland Clinic & believes in his work) & also the Pritikin diet. He said the Mediterranean was the best lifestyle/maintenance plan but would not reverse cloggy arteries. THe other 2 diets he said have been known to reverse CAD. :shera:
He also prescribed another med who's name we cannot recall & our pharmacy had to order it & did not tell me in the text what it is
He described it as a medication to help the :heart: get more oxygen from the bloodstream & he said it has virtually no side effects whatsoever. Ok...Walgreen's has the name up now...it's Ranolazine ER. :dunno: 500mg.
He says we try this first & if he has no symptoms then great... cuz the next step is "going in & opening up arteries" but then he gave us the exact odds of that leading to open :heart: surgery or even death & he says "let's put that off as long as possible".
So one of those diets is vegan...the other is plant-based but does include a limited amount of fish & chicken. The key to both from the little I've read so far is mass quantities of fruits & vegetables, in particular greens & cruciferusses. :happydance: Amazingly similar to the Pagano diet. And not far from our current lifestyle. :clap:
The way I read the report he gots:
1. "moderate calcification in the proximal left coronary system".
2. "the right coronary artery is subtotally occluded in the mid portion with a subsequent occlusion near the acute margin or the heart"
3."left anterior descending coronary artery gives rise to a proximal diagonal branch. Beyond the diagonal branch is an eccentric 40-45% stenosis. The LAD gives rise to a mid second diagonal branch with additional mild 30-35% concentric stenosis as it extends to the apex." Diffuse left-to-right collaterallization via septal perforator branches involving the distal right coronary system."
4. Left circumflex coronary & marginal systems demonstrate only mild luminal disease of distal right coronary system.
SUMMARY: An obstructive single vessel disease involving right soronary artery occlusion with left-to-right collateralization..
Then it says..."Based on clinical symptoms I would suspect coronary occlusion has occurred within the last several weeks." :huh:
So I take this as more than we were led to believe. :dunno:
As in 2 separate areas of blockage in the totally occluded. And then a 40-45% AND 30-35% clog in the LAD.
As well as calcification throughout. :faint:
Elsewise he says no physical restrictions whatsoever. "If it hurts...stop" he said.

KInda in a rush here :run: BUT um I thinxz that's basically what was stated by the first cardiologist :scratch: and the occlusions are in the same artery ... prolly near :yes:
I'll has a think more carefully later BUT pretty sure eberythang is the same as afores ... literally ... as in no real difference 'cept now you has the details :yes:
Ranolazine is fine just a tad pricey, I'd say use that and drop the nitrates AND yeah basically go with the diet :yes: The main thang to keep in mind is that B and you prolly had numerous partial calcified occlusions due to the puffing. The diet likely helped rotto rooter the arteries clean :cleanse: The problem is there is a point where calcified deposits occur more rapidly than undeposits ... it's a relative rates thang ... BUT diet :check: oxygen concentrator :check: :whistle:
Ask about :buttkick: ing the soso and replacing with citruline and arginine :yes:

Edelstein or whateber reminds me of a Dr.Oz show doctor someone had mentioned :scratch: The name is really familiar :yes: Regardless, I'm purty sure the original no :tater: diet you forced B to endure de-occluded prior stenosisez :yes:
Anywho I has a horrible premonition :mina: that there is gonna :bee: 3 new veganites borned in the culinary wasteland :horror:

In other newses ... I had a tire go :boom: on the way to werk :gaah: nuthin terrible BUT it became a srsly busy day and I just gotted 3 new tires put on ... on account I gotted a new tire a couple months back after a puncture and just wanted ALL the same tires agin :wiggle:
Anywho I ended up chatting up a nice sales ghurl and eventually asked what happened to the guy who started helping me. I found out that of the 15 mechanics there SHE was the only one who could drive a manual :faint: :hysterical: Apparently 1 any mechanic under 30 cannot operate a manual vehicle ... which I thunked was both sad and :hysterical:
I suspect if Gideon needz any transmission werk it's gonna git done someplace else :whistle:
I just thunk wow how come no one wants a stick shift ... they git far better mileage AND have far fewer problems making them cheaper for upkeep :angel: Iffen there was a choice I would gotted a NO Power steering option too :dunno:

I can drives a stick shift. :happydance: Of course, I ain't under 30 either. :hysterical:
Sorry bout your flat :therethere: Glad Gideon gots new shoes. :yes:
I read the reports as there being 2 separate arteries...the LAD & the right total one...BOTH with 2 separate clogs.
He also said B was not a doog candidate for a simple roto rooting or stenting cuz of the calcification and the location.
He said it would likely wind up more extensive, possibly open heart, iffin they have to go in & do anything.
In a month he will has a virtual appointment as his hope & expectation is that the angina is gone by then. :clap:
:pey: We gonna make a gradual shift towards veganism. :broccoli: It's cheese, mayo, butter... :luvcry: and we gots to cut way back on the olive oil. Both diet docs say ALL oils are bad for CAD.
The Pritikin doc allows one 4 oz serving of lean chicken or fish, 5x a week. He also allows beef (or other meat) once a month. And eggs but no yolks. :sigh: I'd rather not eat eggs than eat them yolklos.
We gotta eat up what we gots in the house first. Ruler had cheese on sale recently.... $1.47 for 8 oz block. I think I gotted 5 pounds (10 blocks). But I can freeze some of it & we will have it for holidays or somethin. :chuckle:
Last night we had miso soup, cucumber/seaweed salad & a much lower fat than usual stir fry with tofu.
So usually I would oven fry the tofu in enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. :sizzle: Last night I tossed the cubes in a wee bit of sesame oil/mirin/soy then lightly coated them in cornstarch & took a paper towel to oh so lightly grease the pan. :yes:
I made no sauce with oil :nonono: & instead bloomed 5 spice in the wok & added soy sauce & mirin at the end.
It was very good. :yes:
WE all gonna lose weight! :happydance: This is MY answer to the extra 20 pounds I been carrying around for a few years. :cheer:
Oh & no more nuts. :bawling: Except almonds & maybe as a oh so light condiment.
That Doctor Esselstyn is the one Bill Clinton worked with when he went through similars. He is not very accepting of the Heart Association or the FDAs dietary guidelines & is not shy about saying so. :chuckle:
Oh it's :rain: ing again. :woe:
I poured 8" out of the rain gauge but not sure when it had been emptied last. :ashamed:
There's another inch in there from overnight & we got possible severe, floods & :twister: forecast for today.
Yesterday I found a FIVE LEAF CLOVER! :happydance: Google says it's a one in a million find. :wubsigh:
And apposta bring EXTRA good luck & fortune! :bliss:

Ok yup I noes Dr Esselstyn's werk :yes: and his :heart: Association and FDA opinions are completely valid :thumbs:

Anywho gotta :run: BUT Dr Esselstyn's diet looks like it's empHasizing nitric oxide :bump: s which is doog just git B off the soso :carp: :yes:

Doog advice. :righton:
And yeah, I amemebered the :peas: protein mayo. But other than maybe a :tater: salad or such there is nothing to use :mayo: on any more. :chuckle:
And :yes: I tolded him the goals are as such:
1. Get him back feeling doog. No angina
2. Get him off the meds. :yes:
I says, "Do not accept that you will have to be on meds for life as the cardio NP said. Unless, of course, you WANT to be on meds for life. For now, they are necessary...and quite valuable to you. But you can be very likely be off of all of them & return to perfect health. It may take 6 months or 2 years, I dunno. But it IS possible & as long as you believes it is possible then so it is.".
Or somethin like that. :rofl:
He also started rosuvastatin (sp?)...Crestor. :sigh: as his LDL was still 113 & they want it below 70.
But they will check levels again in 6 months so between the diet AND the meds... :sparkle:
And then yesterday we saw a most excellent dermatologist. :cheer: She started him on Otezla. After bloodwork which will likely be back tomorrow. It's back & pretty bad once again. :sigh: She (and Jimmy the interventionalist) is the ONLY provider who axshully went over possible side effects AND the visit was 'just' $110. For a first-time specialist visit that was 'cheap'. :cheer:
Light works...BUT it takes LOTS of light. The only recent time he got totally clears was summer of 2020 after we had been on the Pagano diet AND...here's the key...he was in the sunlight from 8AM til 5PM 6 days a week. :yes: It takes that much sunlight which even if he was retired he could not/would not be in the sun that many hours a week. :sigh:
So he went from NO prescription medications to 5 (?) plus baby aspirin, nitroglycerin & a prescription cream (triamcinolone acetonide).
We had to buy him an AM/PM pill sorter. :sigh:
Thanks dog for insurance but it still costs $150-200 a month in co-pays. :yes: Without insurance it would be $1500-2000 a month & out of reach. :crazyeyes: That motivates him to wanna be off as many as possible.
Barring emergencies, he/we has NO doctor's visits any more til a virtual check in with Cardio Jimmy.
And yeah, I amemebered the :peas: protein mayo. But other than maybe a :tater: salad or such there is nothing to use :mayo: on any more. :chuckle:

He also started rosuvastatin (sp?)...Crestor. :sigh: as his LDL was still 113 & they want it below 70.
But they will check levels again in 6 months so between the diet AND the meds... :sparkle:
And then yesterday we saw a most excellent dermatologist. :cheer: She started him on Otezla. After bloodwork which will likely be back tomorrow. It's back & pretty bad once again. :sigh: She (and Jimmy the interventionalist) is the ONLY provider who axshully went over possible side effects AND the visit was 'just' $110. For a first-time specialist visit that was 'cheap'. :cheer:
Light works...BUT it takes LOTS of light. The only recent time he got totally clears was summer of 2020 after we had been on the Pagano diet AND...here's the key...he was in the sunlight from 8AM til 5PM 6 days a week. :yes: It takes that much sunlight which even if he was retired he could not/would not be in the sun that many hours a week. :sigh:
So he went from NO prescription medications to 5 (?) plus baby aspirin, nitroglycerin & a prescription cream (triamcinolone acetonide).
We had to buy him an AM/PM pill sorter. :sigh:
Thanks dog for insurance but it still costs $150-200 a month in co-pays. :yes: Without insurance it would be $1500-2000 a month & out of reach. :crazyeyes: That motivates him to wanna be off as many as possible.
Barring emergencies, he/we has NO doctor's visits any more til a virtual check in with Cardio Jimmy.

Spoo....even Dr Esselstyn used "cholesterol lowering drugs" as well as diet. :yes:
But his study participants were able to ditch the drugs. :buttkick:
According to Jimmy the goal is to bring down the LDL asap so as to stop any progression of plaque buildup. :righton:
And then the diet can/will begin the reversal process more easily.
What an alternate reality we have stepped into. :norway: That of the cardiology world...not the vegetable state. :p
But he's my best friend & an agreeable subject :wig: :gle: ...
& I 'just happen' to be infinitely interested in FOOD, especially vegetable types of foods.

:woe:
Dr.E treated a lot of near death patients, statin cholesterol lowering was important 'cuz the patients likely weren't gonna last to does it alone :nono: Iffen B is lucky and the statin werks without issue then great BUT like I said afores statins :suck: AND I woulda stuck to my :guns: in says sumthin like "order a blood werks in 1 month then decide" ... also don't start the Otezla for atleast 2 weeks elsewise iffen there's a side effect he wont noes which :dunno: Besides, he was/is on antibiotics which are cytochrome P450 enzyme inducers so his body is going to delete the ffuts faster than normal anywho and he wont noes iffen it werks well or not for a while :nono:
Did the cardiologist mention what the mechanism is that is supposed to rid the clog of clogginess? 'cuz the majority of clogs are fatty plaques which benefit from cholesterol lowering. However B's clogs are of the calcified variety so I'm not sure what lowering LDL does? :scratch:
Yes, he should lower cholesterol because he has a reduction in flow :yes: Most times cholesterol is neether here nor there ... just eberywherez and isn't a thang 'cuz blood flow pulses :rimshot: and the natural elasticity of the arteries and pipping moob thangs along. With a calcified stent there's a restriction and no elasticity so cholesterol could form plaques there :yes: BUT they haven't :nono: so cholesterol lowering is really just an in case thang :yes:
"Our studies in the laboratory have shown that the calcium deposits in arteries form because the muscle cells in the blood vessel wall start to change into bone-like cells when they are old or diseased." bhf.org.uk (https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/medical/ask-the-experts/calcification-of-arteries)
Here's the thang B's clogs are almost certainly "disease " related from the smoking days and not plaque buildup due to :carp: diet and sedentary lifestyle (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) So what I'm asking is what is the mechanism for opening the clog?
My "guess " and what I've been going on about this whole time it's partially greater blood flow to help erode the partial plaque BUT also a lot of nitric oxide inducers to werk out the muskles :flex: and transform the calcified arterial cells back into um non-petrified arterial cells :dunno:
Anywho, purty sure yer diets post smoking cleared up {aka reversed the calcification process} in other areas {smokers tend to have a lot over time} and that's basically what you want to does now only put it in turbo mode. Also cholesterol plays little to no role in the healing part it's just to prevent potential problems from forming.
Near as I can tell Dr.E's diet mainly differs from yer other :woo: diets by cutting out ALL oil :faint:
Anywho, iffen you does that AND manage to hold steady for a whole month then yeah I doubt the statins would be necessary AND shold just be avoided 'cuz did I mention they :suck:
Anywho the main two question I don't see answered ... other than the oxygen concentrator :drama: ... what asplains the angina? :scratch: also what's up with the bypass? :dunno:
Regardless whatever diet you decide to go with identify what is going :bye: and what benefits those thangs provided then figure out how to git the benefits in other ways if needed :yes: Lastly what are the drawbacks of the new diet and what you need to watch out for. For instance with psoriasis and hasing taken biologics ... since the new diet might have significant carbs a fasting blood :check: for sugar and a1c might be in order.

:hi: :michafire:
He mowed, I planted, we both felt doog & the weather is magnificent. :spring: :bliss2:
As per your :heart: questions...
I really don't think the cardiologists interventionalisms are even considering clearing the arteries. :nonono:
I think they best they hope for is staving off the inevitable (stents...bypasses...more stents...etc).
Seriously, they are taught that it is irreversible. So they manage symptoms.
And LDL below 70 is their gold star benchmark for management. If the LDL is below 70 then there can be no new calcification :roll: is likely what they think. :dunno:
I'm smitten with Dr E. :yes: He's 88 years old...still promoting his work & begging people to believe that coronary artery disease CAN be reversed. :cheer:
But since Jimmy recommended the diets I feel that he will be quite agreeable to work with & happy to help him work off of the meds. (I knows 2 of them cannot be just stopped :yes: ).
He really feels the renolazine is helping already. :yes: So maybe then the so-so &/or super :suck: stuff can :buttkick: first.
They really really believe that the statins prevent surgical interventions. I think that's how they think. :oz: :laugh:
They say they've seen how they 'work' and it's nothing short of miraculous. And I believe their definition of 'work' is "keeps one out of surgical intervention". Again, they don't seem to even acknowledge the possibility of total healing or 'curing' anything.
I heard of someone recently who was put on 4 different statins before they found one she could 'tolerate'. :sigh:
Jimmy lit up a bit when he said that he totally believed that many people had reversed cloggy arteries with Dr E's diet...he just never knew anybody personally that did it. (He thought it all raw, too. :chuckle: )
We are tentatively looking at May 1 as an official fat free vegan start date. :sparkle:
It feels right for all of us for awhile. :yes: Maybe a month of fat-free (mostly...I think it impossible to be 100% fatlos).
And then he may add back a wee bit of poultry or fish & we may add back a wee bit of 'healthy' fat. And maybe not. :wiggle:

...
And they sez I cannot read :woe:
No they thinxz below 70 and the odds of cholesterol plaque formation is less ... that's actually one of Dr.E's thangs only we already noes that alone is not true 'cuz there are plenty of people with low LDL and :heart: disease and literally that number is about 50% :roll:
Lowering B's cholesterol is just precautionary because he already has a constriction and that part's fine :yes:
The question was the "mechanism" for eroding the calcification. For instance is there some enzyme that goes around doesing it OR sumthin? :dunno:
Also is it actual plaque deposits OR arterial cells being transformed ... as in why I added that UK link.
Oh and of course that age old question ... oxygen concentrator? :whistle:

That sounds like a Zen koan. :chuckle:
Or a prediction of a global wheat shortage. :yes:
Sig I don't think the diagnosis has changed... :nonono: I think we just finally realized how grave it is.
He has CAD, pure & simple. And the angina is from the hunnerd & collaterals. But they doesn't (nor does he) want to surgically intervene cuz it's not necessarily a simple 'fix & go'.
So we gonna fix it. :wiggle: With guidance from Dr. E. Doc #3. :chuckle:
I am learning new cooking techniques. :cheer: Like how to brown & 'carmelize' (what they calls it) onions, squashes, etc in a dry hot pan with then a few drops of wine &/or tamari. Cooking with NO oil is inneresting...& kinda fun.
Anyway... I am practicing. :wiggle: Beginning to swap out ingredients & ordered nutritional yeast & bulk oats & chickpeas (believe it or not they are hard to find around here. :sigh: ).
Whole grain breads & pastas are scarce as well. :sigh: I may hafta start going to Murray KY or Jackson for breads.
Or make my own...as if I has nothing else to do. :laugh:
Walmart usta make this most delicious whole multi grain bread & then they stopped. :sigh: I guess nobody bought it but me.
We gotta has breads iffin we has no fat. :faint:
I found an inneresting vegan no oil 'butter' recipe that uses cauliflower, plant milk, nooch,garlic, salt & a pinch of sugar. :dunno:

Oh and I recommend looking at your oils and see the effect of deglazing on the amount of oil that remain :yes: Basically a lot of oil is lost as :splat: er BUT even more is carried up in an emulsified oil/water vapour mix :yes: In other wurdz you can cook with oil AND via the judicious use of deglazing you both gain flavour {solubilizing the fond} AND remove oil :oz:
The main trick is to deglaze with multiple small portions of liquid instead of a lot all at once. :angel:
Bulk oats is doog :thumbs: I'm a fan of oatmeal :thumbs: I even has multiple spurtles ... in fact the reason I has so many spurtles is they werk so well with oatmeal I started using them for eberythang :yes: By the way there are two types of spurtles you Do NOT want to use the dowel shaped one unless yer looking to spend hours creaming groats :no:

In fact my likely next big kitchen counter top equipment purchase will likely be a steam oven for breads :yes:
FYI: try searching on youtube for no knead breads :whistle:
The bestest siguie brand bread is based on a brioche :doh: and has plenty of oil/butter and :egg: :liplick:
You are gonna be making French type loaves :moon: normally these are more hands on BUT iffen you has a dutch oven you can make doog rustic loaves without kneading :nono:
Anywho, the trick is unerstanzing what you are doesing and time thangs properly to make it so all you do is mix the ingredients the day or two afores, cover it, slap :slap: it in the morning afores you go to werk then bake it when you git back :yes: Once you noes what you are doesing the bread is better than anythin you can buy at a grocery store :angel: Some artisanal bakers have the edge with them fancy schmancy steam ovens :fist:
Did I mention I'm considering steam ovens :matt:

Oh and I recommend looking at your oils and see the effect of deglazing on the amount of oil that remain :yes: Basically a lot of oil is lost as :splat: er BUT even more is carried up in an emulsified oil/water vapour mix :yes: In other wurdz you can cook with oil AND via the judicious use of deglazing you both gain flavour {solubilizing the fond} AND remove oil :oz:
The main trick is to deglaze with multiple small portions of liquid instead of a lot all at once. :angel:
Bulk oats is doog :thumbs: I'm a fan of oatmeal :thumbs: I even has multiple spurtles ... in fact the reason I has so many spurtles is they werk so well with oatmeal I started using them for eberythang :yes: By the way there are two types of spurtles you Do NOT want to use the dowel shaped one unless yer looking to spend hours creaming groats :no:
"Or make my own...as if I has nothing else to do. :laugh: "
:buttkick:
:hello: I make my own bread :hmm:
In fact my likely next big kitchen counter top equipment purchase will likely be a steam oven for breads :yes:
FYI: try searching on youtube for no knead breads :whistle:
The bestest siguie brand bread is based on a brioche :doh: and has plenty of oil/butter and :egg: :liplick:
You are gonna be making French type loaves :moon: normally these are more hands on BUT iffen you has a dutch oven you can make doog rustic loaves without kneading :nono:
Anywho, the trick is unerstanzing what you are doesing and time thangs properly to make it so all you do is mix the ingredients the day or two afores, cover it, slap :slap: it in the morning afores you go to werk then bake it when you git back :yes: Once you noes what you are doesing the bread is better than anythin you can buy at a grocery store :angel: Some artisanal bakers have the edge with them fancy schmancy steam ovens :fist:
Did I mention I'm considering steam ovens :matt:
Oh yeah grow lotsa cauliflower :yes: you can turn that ffuts into anythin :yes:
:yawn: :coffee:
Well it looks like the war is starting :share:

We'd love to grow cauliflower. :sigh: But rarely get a long enough cool season. What little bit we've had (the size of a tangerine) was absolutely delicious. :drool: It either gets stoopy cold or stoopy hot.
We've tried :fall: and :spring: :broccoli: & cauliflower both are so dang heat resistant....like you :sigster: :rofl:
And this:
I guess we just see thangs very differently ... you seem to see things as now being more urgent or dire ... I see things as being :egg: actly the same as before and wanted to noes what changed :dunno:
:no:
I saided nothing has changed. The diagnosis after extra testing is exactly what it was. I found out (accidentally) that there are 2 total blockages (the hunnerd) in the same artery but that didn't change anything. And the 30-40% blockages was axshully 45-50% & 35-40% blockeded & also in 2 places.
All that changed is that Jimmy (the bestest new doc :wub: ) laid out the prognosis which was more meds & eventually a surgical intervention of some sort. He also said that due to location & whatnots the surgical intervention would likely not be a simple fix, as in stents.
And what really changed is that :b: began to process what's really going on.
No, nothing has changed except maybe for the better. Since the beginning I have watched my best friend look like he's dying in front of my eyes on multiple occasions. :sigh: That hasn't happened since 2/19. :cheer:
What HAS changed is that now he's ready to take his life into his own hands & do whatever he can to heal himself (with my help, of course. :p ). He may not be able to maintain veganism. :dunno: But he's committed to being strict for the month of May & then we will add back a bit of chicken or fish iffin he needs it. :yes: The Esselstyn patients' reversals are nothing short of stunning for ALL who stayed on the diet. Even after just a month. :yes:
:pey: :horn: ENERGIES!!!!!!
:sparkle: :sun: :sparkle: I reckon but boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. :faint:
Last night I had :run: ing cats. This way & that way & :horn: full speed ahead.
AND eeerbody got totally :mrcrankypants: around 7PM. :wtf:
Elsewise it was lovely day. J I went to Murray & eeerbody we met was pleasant & friendly & polite & kind. :righton:
Today is clean the kennel & hopefully transplant some :tomatoe: day! :bliss:

:roll: You need Japanese cauliflower ... Song TJS-65 (https://www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/cauliflower/green-stem-cauliflower/song-tjs-65-f1-cauliflower-seed-4131.html) :yes:
You still need to pick a cooler time BUT the ffuts grows like a weed AND it's easier to prep :yes: though the texture is a cross between cauliflower and :broccoli: Oh and srsly this one is ideal for hydroponics :yes:
Flavour wise I like the varietal "Cheddar " ... it's that orange cauliflower with genetically enhanced beta-carotene levlez :flex:
As for :b: yeah Doc#1 shoulda said LAD was the location of the reduced flow BUT it was the oblivious guess. Other than that I think seein what happens in 6 months was the way to go ... minus the stoopid statin :buttkick:
In case it wasn't clear and my numerous mentionings hasn't sunk in yet ... the :woo: diet :carp: you was doesing afores werked :yes: I noes :faint: me too :yes: If continued as is/was after 6 months perchance it would has continued to werk :dunno: Iffen there was nuthin missed and nuthin new discovered ... why change what had been werken? :dunno: THAT's what I don't unerstanz :scratch:
That and what state the bypass pipes are at and iffen completed would there be a reduction in the angina symptoms or is unrelated or are there crossover interactions ... what :dunno:
"... And the 30-40% blockages was axshully 45-50% & 35-40% blockeded & also in 2 places. "
Axshully that is closer to normal and purty much as :egg: pected :yes: Most occlusions are looong or multiple areas of reduced blood flow due to build up. Think of it like sediment depositing in a stream, it happens over an area with more sediment forming/depositing wherever the flow slows ... which is just after the first bit of deposit.
NOT hasing a large number of occlusion "suggests" the smaller ones have already been removed ... this is literally why I said yer stoopid :woo: diet and beliefs very likely saved his life.
BUT youses has a plan that you likes and that's fine :thumbs: so :run: with it ... I'm just :lbrain: guy ... I has no clue how you :rbrain: types make choices :nono: ... srsly it completely baffles me :wtf:
Yup peoplez are starting to git ornery :gayfight: ... sprang is here :check:
:yawn: :coffee:

42 day cauliflower!! :hi5: :thanks:
I also has numerous bags of cauliflower flour. Not sure what else to does with it other than making :pizza: crusts.
It says to substitute in equal parts for any flour in any recipe. :huh: Maybe I will try some in an oil-free vegan butter recipe that uses just cauliflower, nooch, garlic, salt, plant milk & pinch of sugar. :dunno:
:hello: This diet is not too far removed from that one. :nonono: Just slight turn to the left. :p
That one was 80% fruits & veggies, 20% meats, low-fat dairy & grains.
This one is 80% fruits & veggies, 20% grains.
Both are low fat. The first included chicken breast, lamb, tuna & select cold-water fish as well as 2 eggs per week.
Dr E says that even one bite of meat damages endothelials. :dunno:
WE all know that psoriasis & :heart: issues are linked. :righton:
So it reasons that BOTH diets would be beneficial. :yes:
We will wind up with a hybrid version that fits us best. :yes:
Meanwhile, I learn new cooking techniques & recipes. :happydance:
:b: was/is too heavy handed with butter, mayo, olive oil, etc. And he is one of those guys who has to go all out or none at all. :sigh:
Moderation is velly difficult for him. :yes: So cutting it out for awhile is necessary.
It's all good. :sparkle: The signs are clear. :sparkle: :heart: :sparkle:
The only problem I has is...
how does you get nooch (or even salt for that matter) to stick to air-popped :popcorn: ?? :woe:
:bsl:
I figger I hasta make a 'sauce'. :dunno:

All diets are roughly the same :dunno: the differences are in what's allowed or avoided. The requirement of no :tater: or :tomatoe: is a BIG difference :yes:
"WE all know that psoriasis & :heart: issues are linked. :righton:

:woe: NO there is no reason to believe that :buttkick: the Pagoda diet literally claimed that nightshade :woo: was a key factor in fact if you look at the psoriasis best diet options Pagano 72%, Vegan 70% and Paleo 69% ncbi link (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5453925/) In essence no nightshade, no meat and mostly meat all rate about the same.
Anywho NO :buttkick: yer :rbrain: reasoning is spurious :slap: and just kinda random to be honest :dunno:

A: Yes, No and it kinda depends :dunno:
There are a lot of advantages to eating meat :cow: :yes: and yes the process of digestion can cause damage, in much the same way that breathing Oxygen can cause damage :yes:
The thang to keep in mind is that living is a :balance: of competing reactions and processes :yes: Like with teeth

Quote from: A Plant-Based Diet, Atherogenesis, and Coronary Artery Disease Prevention ... Recently, metabolites of L-carnitine, such as trimethylamine-N-oxide, that result from ingestion of red meat have been identified as a potential predictive marker of coronary artery disease (CAD). Metabolism of L-carnitine by the intestinal microbiome is associated with atherosclerosis in omnivores but not in vegetarians, supporting CAD benefits of a plant-based diet. Trimethylamine-N-oxide may cause atherosclerosis via macrophage activation. ...

The state of B-ing. :hysterical: :yes: :check:
So I read every single word & axshully comprehended them ALL. :buttkick:
You said: I mean this in the kindest possible way :hearts: and not as an offense to yer feeble vastly inferior nigh worthless :rbrain: cognitive powerz :vibes: BUT you read and follow directions :roll: I on the other hand like to unerstanz what is going on :om:
:huh:
But you sir, are 'wrong'. :yes:
I goes not read directions. :no: I just do it first, then go back & read to unerstanz when/if I need to.
I go by feel. And I follow the breadcrumbs. :sparkle:
And in your slightly schizophrenic meat rambling you left out those who just can/will no longer meat. For :whatever: reasons.
I never ever wanted to eat it from my earliest of days on Earth but was forced to learn to becuz..."where else can you get protein?". :sigh: :laugh: There are plenty of people like me (in that respect :rofl: )
My thing to deal with is that I always thunk B needed meat cuz of his size, blood type, auyurvedic dosha, etc, etc, etc.
I offered chicken with the oat milk curry (it was amazing) tonight but he refused. :wiggle:

:woe: One of us does not need complete understanding when the one just :sparkle: knows :sparkle: :cleanse:
So last night I made curry with oat milk. The usual spices... 'bloomed' on a hot pan without oil. :vsparkle:
I thickened the 'gravy' with cauliflower flour. :yes: And 'sauteed' the vegetables a batch at a time in a dry skillet, adding just a splash of tamari to brown.
With brown jasmine rice it was delicious...and satisfying...and not a bit of fat or meat.
But energies were such that I was looking for :quake: s. On the usgs map...not outside. :nonono:
Once I swear I felt the floor 'shift'...more than once I felt a dramatic tilt. :gle:
And no, I does not has vertigo at present time. :p
The video was inneresting. :righton: :thanks:

" :woe: One of us does not need complete understanding when the one just :sparkle: knows :sparkle: :cleanse: "
Oh ok ... then does that one of us "knows" the effect of soso on the endothelials? :whistle:
Oh and you should git :tater: and tapioca starch :yes: together with cornstarch you've gotted yer trinity of non-gluten thickeners :thumbs: They is a lot cheaper than cauliflower ffuts :yes: Though for traditional curry I'd just add some :tater: and let that thicken it :dunno:
By the way this is a doog time to git out yer steamer baskets and think about an instant pot :whistle: ... also mirin and rice vinegar :yes:
AND of course fermented veggies.
FYI: while I'm sure you could just noes this :roll: take a look at "steam-fry" cooking methods. There are basically 2 types ... steaming first THEN frying and then of course frying THEN steaming. There are advantages to both depending on what yer burning for dinger :yes:
Also about the blog/vlog thang ... srsly this is a doog time to start it :yes: espeeshully iffen yer All-In with the Dr.E protocol :angel:
Also NRGetically not :quake: :nono: it's the :sun: and :sunhug: s out the wazoo :tinhat:
:horn: I Blame you :michafire: :fist: ... oh wait ... solly :whistle: ... Dang you :asiel: :fist: ... but still ... :tapfoot:
Oh and the video ... yeah it closely resembles B's condition and that whole angina with bypass ffuts :yes: BUT more importantly it asplains {atleast partially} what the whole point is :yes:
So reducing LDL is to reduce the amount that can git in between the endothelial wall that can then become oxidized and be gobbled up by macrophages that end up forming Foam cells. Senescent foam cells are the thangs causing the "main" problem. Essentially not allowing the macrophages to become overwhelmed is the goal of lowering LDL which answers that question :yes:
Additionally, there are apparently some blood components that doof can make more "sticky" ... it's not clear what it is he's referring to BUT some people do produce stickier LDL due to attached sugar conformations BUT not sure where the doof stick bit comes in :scratch:
Anywho, the thang I likes most about Dr.E is his emphasis on nitric oxide :thumbs: It's one of them thangs I've been looking at and playing with for years :thumbs: AND yes it ties in with photobiomodulation :rainbow:
I likes him :yes: ... it took me a while to figure out BUT he chooses his wurdz very carefully which is doog BUT there are some statements he makes that "appear" to be obliviously wrong BUT I finally realized his statements are specifically for those with :heart: disease and conveyed in such a way as to leave no ambiguity of what should or should not be for those people :yes: and those who wish to become as he says " :heart: Attack Proof".
Anywho, considering you all are coinkadinkally durt pHarmerz ... I am encouraging you to go All-In :buttkick: even at the cost of veganizing :ashamed:
Also now is a doog time to learn some Japanese dishes and cooking styles :yes: I recommend Fukumeni with one of my favourites Furofuki Daikon :yes: I'm purty sure you growed daikon and there's just soooo much you can does with it :thumbs:
Oh and baby bok choy :thumbs: ... in many recipes the literal first step is to dry char the thick stems :oz:
In other newses ... :rain: :bliss:

One knows (mock font activated) that ALL the rx drugs needs to go as soon as they possibly can go. :yes:
You done tolded me that the soso holds the arteries open & that they lose their elasticity over time & essentially become 'dependent' on the drug. :sigh: That is why he cannot just stop it. :no:
He agrees to tell Jimmy he wants to begin stopping it on May 9 at their virtual visit. Is that soon enough? :pie:
Dr Ess (that's what I learnt they calls him... or just Essy) is very cool. I was up at 5 but then got sucked in & watched about 3 hours of videos.
:b: began watching the nitric oxide video but out internet went mostly dead in the afternoon. :sun: :dangjustdang:
A blog. :woe: A thread...possibly but a blog... :dunno:
I started a google blog once. :chuckle: I gots a golb. :yes:
I mostly gots time to type but not for much else (As in photos, pictures, room decor :roll: )
My seester came in from Ohio yesterday & we gots a :wheee: 2-3 days ahead so not starting anythings today.
It's :earth: day! :gstars:
Happy :sparkle: :earth: :sparkle: Day, Earthlings!
Energies are still :wtf: :wheee: :sofa: :jumpy: :splat:

As far as drugs go soso is a purty neat molecule :yes: and structurally prolly safer than most alternatives :yes: BUT yeah :bump: ing NO is doog but mostly when yer body is in control.
As for "soon enough" I has no clue :idunno: Though if Doc#2 is in agreement I'd recommend hasing L-citruline, L-arginine and beet root powder ready for the weening process :yes: also NAC {N-acetylcysteine}. The first 3 :bump: NO more or less "naturally" while the NAC kinda boosts the hang time. There are also some subcellular melatonin and glutathione assists :yes:
You will want to keep any and all of these at a minimal level and definitely NOT sport or muskle building levelz :naughty:
Healthy people can handle 10+ grams of each no problemz :nono: however :heart: disease individuals will literally die at those levelz :horror:
Keep in mind B's soso medication is slooow release ... doof including supplement is :bump: and done. B needs a gentle :bump: to prevent angina and NAC to increase the hang time :yes: Do NOT just go :boom: 'cuz that would be bad ... did I mention talking to Doc#2 :whistle:
Dr.E is definitely interestin :yes: and I really does like him BUT his videos would benefit from a quality :bump: :whistle: That said I really thinxz you should just start making hearty dishes that fit his criteria and then :egg: pand from there :yes:
Like IFFEN I was to follow his protocol :sofa: {NOT happening :nono: } I'd prolly start with :bean: s particularly dried ones like pinto, red, white etc. Make a big pot and serve with brown rice. Then add thangs like grilled peppers and onions with a dash of soy and balsamic vinegar. Perchance something with a lot of garlic like siguie brand chickpea hummus which I'd thin out with some aqueous liquid to avoid oil. Anywho with siguie brand french bread that's an easy and tasty week of doof.
According to Dr.E benefits can be felt in as little as 3 daze and many :heart: thangs fixeded in 2 weeks :yes:
The point is perhaps in 2 weeks B wont need the soso :angel:
Anywho :earthheart: Friday gotta :run: :wave:

B's diagnosis and how you choose to apply Dr.E's protocol WILL garner a lot of interest iffen you is willing to post about it :yes: Iffen you search you will find very few websites/blogs/videos about people who apply the protocols. They are all dominated by Dr.E or his daughters, wife, etc.
The thang is a Plant-Based lifestyle :barfy: is coinkadinkally a purty doog segue to durt pHarming from which you can transition to yer eclectic pHilosopHiez and :boom: you has yer 3 pillars :thumbs:

"Schedule! :no: "
:chuckle: Yeah well done "well" one should be posting twice a week preferably eberyday AND on a schedule but do a quick google search for something like "How to start a successful blog" ... blogging and starting a blog is easy :yes: Making it "successful" is hard and making money doing it is way WAY harder :sofa:
However, it's a lot easier when you incorporate the thangs you are doesing IRL into a blog 'cuz then it's a Journal for you but a Blog for eberyone else :angel:
For instance "Oat Milk" ... Dr.E says oats are doog ... so how do you make your oat milk and how do you use it? :share:
I use a 6 to 1 ratio of water to rolled oats by volume but the amount YOU or anyone use would depend on your blender and filtering rig. This is what determines the "creaminess" factor :yes: Also I just use a regular fine metal filter to remove the pulp. After that a pinch of salt a tiny bit of sweetener 'cuz :cow: milk has lactose which is sugar and hence sweet. Depending on the intended use a drop of vanilla a tiny bit of cayenne :angel:
Anywho, for eben closer to :cow: texture I've added a little cooked oatmeal, porridge rice, xanthan gum, gum acacia, guar gum and of course wheat dextrin :yes: BUT for most ffuts just blend the oats and a bit of salt is doog :yes:
OK :blah: :blah: aside :whatever: ... you journaling yer adventure is basically "blogging" AND it's sumthin that would :bump: start { :chuckle: see what I did there :hysterical: } yer blogging career :angel:
It's up to you :yes: it's just the Tao te siguie :om: I store in the back of my :brain: the thangs that inerest peoplez or the thangs they is dealing with and when sumthin related pops up :boom: I brings it up :angel:
Starting a blog is trivial getting readers requires werk and Search Engine Optimization {SEO} and marketing both of which will take vastly more time ... and prolly not yer thang :therethere: ... yer current path however offers a shortcut iffen you is inerested ... that's all I was sezing :yes:

I made siguie brand Instant Pot :bean: s :liplick: really simple and only take 40 minutes to cook :yes:
FYI Cilantro tastes like Toluene :pukeface:
You should :egg: periment more with tofu :yes: and soybean sheets {aka tofu skin} NOT to mention just make yer own tofu and soybean milk :whistle:
Oh also along with the frijoles make yer own flour tortillas :yes: it's literally just flour, water and salt. You don't even use oil to cook them :nono: just a dry skillet :yes:
I recommend adding a little garlicked powder and nutritional yeast {powder} 'cuz they taste better that way. Just keep a water mister on hand, without oil they need just a bit of moisture and sometimez 10 seconds in the microwave to make them pliable enough to turn them into burritos BUT it's not hard :nono:
FYI: raw cashews make a surprisingly doog sour cream BUT iffen yer avoiding nuts a chickpea hummus with a little :egg: tra lemon juice or touch of cider vinegar werks ... mostly ...

:spoo: :ashamed:
Yeah, sissy left on yesterday morning. I was/a, listening to a Food Revolution Summit. :broccoli:
I missed Sunday's offerings (3 hours a day) which were all about the biome. :sigh:
You only gets 21 hours to listen to the replays & then they disappear....but of course, for just $97 you can get al 25 speakers.
Speaking of monies... we gotted a tax return but we filed last Sunday & gotted the $$ deposited on Wednesday or Thursday. :faint: Less than a week. :huh: Last year it took 6 months. :huh:

I'm baaaccckkkk..... 8)
No really, I'm back from the journey, and so, so much to process. :faint:
Asiel, I wanted to try and see you, but I was pretty much held hostage by Dad the whole time.
I kinda skimmed through the whole thang about diet. I got some thoughts, but not enough time right now. I has to :run:
Bug for a job interview.
Asiel, if you can, check out Rose's channel. There are some fun simple recipes there I think you'd enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/c/CheapLazyVegan :thumbs:

...where do such people hang out? :hysterical:
Ya noes...they are correct in that after a couple of days you really don't miss the fat any more. :nonono:
:horn: Pandora! :happydance: So glad you gotted to spend that time with your dad. :wub:
I totally understand. :yes: For 20+ years we came here to visit family & my Ohio friends could not understand why we never went sightseeing...or to tourist destinations. I always said, "It wasn't that kind of vacation. We went to be with family.". ANd that's what we did. :hearts:
Yeah, my grocery shopping has become more simplified. :yes:
I buy produce and grains & dried beans. :rofl:
No fat, whole food, plant based. :check: They says don't think of it as vegan cuz there are too many unhealthy vegan foods.
And I have switched back to Murray KY for my groceries now. Not only does I save 10% on tax, they have way way more & better produce & natural food selections.
And yeah, Tanasi sales tax is 10% (9.25 in Henry Co, 9.75 in Carroll... I round up. :p ) & that includes ALL grocery items.
KY is like Ohio in that only carbonated drinks, alcohol & smokes are taxed. As well as doof eaten IN a restaurant...take-out is not. :huh:
Oh...I checked out Rose's ffuts just now. Found her blog (I'm a rare bird who prefers reading over watching) & some doog ideas.
Thanks. :righton:
I've made numerous recipes from the Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease cookbook...as well as from online ffutses...and B says, "What you make is so much better than the recipes you follow. Why don't you just ditch the recipes & make up your own?"
So last night I did. I made a chili soup. :chuckle: Chili seasonings, tomato-based, but with all the pieces & parts of leftovers in the fridge (as well as a few new cans of beans & a bag of lentils). Seriously, I had chopped onion, red pepper, celery, carrot all left from a rice & bean bowl thingy... large lima beans & cauliflower left from Sunday dinner.
Then I served it inside a whole wheat tortilla bowl & on a bed of black rice. It was delicious. And very satisfying.
Apposta eat little to no tofu or other faux meats becuz they has too much fat. :woe:
But it's fun. :cheer: Give me Nellie Nakiri & a pile of colorful veggies & I am on :cloud9:
Oh & :b: is apposta eat greens SIX times a day! :woe: I think the most he has gotten up to is 4 so far. It's hard. I'm axshully gonna buy some canned greens to have on hand cuz it's hard even having cooked greens ready for 6x a day every single day. :faint:

I'm not 100% convinced about 0 fat in the diet. Prolly cuz my Mom used ta tell me one needed a small amount in the diet. I dunno why. Or I do, but I doesn't amemebers all the details. :scratch:
There are different types of fats. Good ones, bad ones... I think it's a balance to keep a certain amount of fat but to watch what kind of fat it is. For example, tempeh is higher in fat than tofu. But that fat isn't trans fat, and there is 0 cholesterol. The trade off is that it contains more protein, fiber, iron, and potassium than tofu. Tofu has a low sat fat, and more unsaturated fats, 0 cholesterol, and is a good source of calcium.
My concentration was always on avoiding cholesterol.
I thinks :B: is right. Often, your own cooking is gonna give you the best tasting meals. There are vegan recipe blogs all over the place, but what I've found is that the recipes tend to be laden with a million different spices. Somewhere in there I just felt like it was ridiculous. I've done more on my own and been very happy with my results. What is nice is that those blogs give you great ideas and I see them more as a guideline. Here is one you might find fun and useful https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-recipes/ I have some ingredients I will not use at all. Quinoa, cashews for example. It's a personal thing on my part. You'll see them used in lots of dishes, but there are lots of dishes that don't have them. :thumbs:
I really liked Kentucky. I really wasn't impressed with central Ohio; Columbus area. I thought Cincinnati had a stunning skyline. Metropolis is in terrible shape-those folks are really struggling. The whole superman thang is all they've got, and it ain't good. Paducah had a bustling downtown with great little shops tucked all over the place, and a great little vegan restaurant called Branch Out. When I visited my cousin Sheila's home, she had this huge gorgeous Magnolia tree in her front yard that I totally fell in love with. But then, I loved Sheila. She was a very salt of the earth, nurturing sort with a great sense of humor. We hit it off immediately.
Anyways, for now I :blah: enough. Gotta get :run: on the day's errands.

I think just changing ones diet every few days or weeks is a doog idea :yes: and I noes Dr.E is not a fan of literally any other diet type than his :nono: purty sure he sez keto is not doog but don't remember his reasoning :scratch:
Anywho his protocol is NOT strictly science based :nono: it's literally a Do :egg: actly this regimen which for most people really is too strict BUT for :heart: patients yeah it's kinda hard to argue with the results ... so yeah I give it to him for that :yes:
Wait tofu has too much oil? :scratch: Does that mean soy milk is in the do not consume category too :eek:
Oh Pan iffen ya likes tempeh { :yucky: } take a look at meati.com/ (https://meati.com/) basically they produce :mushrooms: mycelium grown to look, feel {texture} and taste like various meats. Apparently 1 they does an :egg: cellent boj too.
Their meati is :egg: pensive and only sold to high end restaurants BUT I'm betting eventually it's gonna be the new meat option for the general public 'cuz prices and health and ffuts :oz:
Yeah yeah :whatever: I noes lots of vegans and vegeterestrialz don't like the taste or feelz of meat ... that's fine :buttkick: Thang is like the Impossible and Beyond meats the prices will eventually become competitive and after that it should be cheaper than real meat AND healthier :yes:
Oh instead of nasty greens 6 times per day have a look at pickled beets or even better fermented pickle beets :yes: basically this is one of the few ways to make beets not :barfy: :yes: It also preserves the nitrates PLUS you can use the beets AND the beet leafy bits :oz:
:secret: FYI: beets have a lot more NO producing ffuts so ya needz less :whistle:
Also I'm kinda doubting the "need" of greens 6 times a day :faint: even based on salivary release the NO :bump: should last many hours during digestion :hmm2:
Screw it NOW I need to noes :fist:

Aquarium test strips... :fishhat:
:bsl:
No fat is virtually impossible. :chuckle: He just says that to keep peoples very low.
And he emphasizes that this is for :heart: patients, not necessarily for everyone.
Beets are one of his "greens". :yes: With or without the tops. As well as :broccoli: & cauliflower. And napa cabbage. :huh:
ALL the doctors in this food revolution summit are anti-keto. They say it rebounds on peoples after time & leads to cardiovascular disease down the road. I personally know someone who lost 100 pounds on keto. :yes: Then she gained it all back with an extra 30 or so on top. :sigh:
And all the doctors in the food revolution summit are against processed vegan doof. Processed ANY doof, axshully but they says that so many peoples go vegan thinking they are doing something doog for themselves & the planet & wind up eating chips & french fries & heavily processed frozen faux meats.
I have borrowed many ideas from Love & Lemons, Pandora. :righton: And Cookie and Kate. :yes:
Yeah...we dislike Columbus tho we has family who live there (2 nieces & a nephew in Columbus proper, B's sis & hubby in subarbanville). I swear it smells :yucky: when you enter the city from the south. :chuckle: And whoever initially designed the highways was stoned. :yes: But they have been finally fixing that for the past several years.
Cincy IS beautiful from the south...especially at night. :wub: I think only twice in all the years we've lived away have we entered the city after dark. So many many trips up & down that route. Dad usta joke that he wanted his ashes strewn from Lake Erie to Kentucky Lake. :chuckle:
I gots so much ffutses I wanna does that I don't know what to do first. :frantic:
The house smells kennelly again. :sigh: It really doesn't take more than 2 days to get :uhoh: & this time of year it's just so much better to be outside... :bliss: :rofl: And I gotta/wanna do some planting tho it may be best to wait for that new :moon: .

Boy oh boy it could be just me but it SUDDENLY feels quite topsy turvy. :luna:
Discomgravitational. :stars:
We gots an upcoming eclipse & new moon, maybe that's it. Maybe no.
Or it could be the wicked bug bites I got yesterday. :huh: Spider? That's my guess.
Massively itchy, little welts but kinda making me nauseous with mild diarrhea. On both sides of my back just about where my wings would be attached. :angel: :rofl:
And speaking of yesterday...somebody translate this....
We came home the back roads & at one point I encountered a :turkey: crossing the road.
Thing is, when it crossed from my left to right there was a guardrail on the right that spooked it.
So it walked (waddled) down my lane right in front of me, nervously looking back as it could not figure out what to do.
I followed slowly at first then stopped in the middle of the road (no cars anywhere in sight) & waited & watched so as not to spook it any more.
Finally when there was no more guardrail I thought, "Oh good, now it can go on across the road" but nope, it hopped & half-flew back into the field from which it came. :huh:
Very strange.
Then...less than half a mile on down the road there was something the size of a northern :squirrel: right in the middle of the road.
(southern squirrels are scrawny :chuckle: ). I thought it was dead but slowed way down to be sure.
Just as I got to it it :jump: ed up & ran down the middle of the road in the opposite direction that I was going.
It was a groundhog. :tooshay:
Again. Quite odd.
:turkey: :squirrel: :wtf:

Beets, kale AND Napa cabbage all has some of the highest amounts of plant nitrates which is what ya wants for them 6xgreens per day. The point of beets is ya need less AND pickled beets are easy to make and eat :yes:

Going by feelz and being stresslos is what causes the problems people have with doof :therethere:
I has no stress :bliss: I unerstanz the difference between :peas: without fiber :om:
Speaking of feelz ... "hot water cornbread" isn't that great depression doof just cornmeal mixed with hot water then deep fried or fried up like pancakes on a griddle :scratch:
Corn oil is literally the one oil tested that does what Dr.E sez oil does and why to avoid it ... AND how the heck are you doesing that without oil :scratch:
I happen to lubs hot water cornbread :liplick: BUT it's basically a deep fried :donut: you just use a thin batter so the oil incorporates into it and makes a delightfully crunchy crust :thumbs: Also finely grated cheddar with finely chopped jalapenos makes it even better :drool: the cheese and peppers sink to the bottom and caramelize to crunchy perfection :drool:
Srsly though how does you do this without oil? :scratch: I'm like miracle doof guy I can make lots of thangs taste feelz certain ways without using what is :egg: pected BUT mimicking a crunchy crust without oil :scratch: I don't noes that one :ashamed:
Anywho it's Friday :yesss:
I'm dropping by Dad's prolly with chinese takeout OR Fish 'n Chips 'cuz I noes he lubs that ffuts :oz:
Hey wahat happened to Pan :scratch: ... also :tapfoot:
I has no stress :bliss: I unerstanz the difference between :peas: without fiber :om:
Speaking of feelz ... "hot water cornbread" isn't that great depression doof just cornmeal mixed with hot water then deep fried or fried up like pancakes on a griddle :scratch:
Corn oil is literally the one oil tested that does what Dr.E sez oil does and why to avoid it ... AND how the heck are you doesing that without oil :scratch:
I happen to lubs hot water cornbread :liplick: BUT it's basically a deep fried :donut: you just use a thin batter so the oil incorporates into it and makes a delightfully crunchy crust :thumbs: Also finely grated cheddar with finely chopped jalapenos makes it even better :drool: the cheese and peppers sink to the bottom and caramelize to crunchy perfection :drool:
Srsly though how does you do this without oil? :scratch: I'm like miracle doof guy I can make lots of thangs taste feelz certain ways without using what is :egg: pected BUT mimicking a crunchy crust without oil :scratch: I don't noes that one :ashamed:
Anywho it's Friday :yesss:
I'm dropping by Dad's prolly with chinese takeout OR Fish 'n Chips 'cuz I noes he lubs that ffuts :oz:

I made it in the oven in a hot, well-seasoned cast-iron pan & it was delicious but still stuck terribly bad. :woe:
Next time I shall lightly oil the pan :yes: But we won't have it often. :nonono:
Same with the 'low oil' stovetop :popcorn: last night. :chuckle: A couple times a month at most. :yes:

Asiel you esplained that perfectly. :D
I don't always use oil on my peppers and onions and such. I smother them into tenderness. Least ways that's what we always called it. Very low heat with a bit of water and tightly covered. :thumbs:
Always baked my cornbread in a cast-iron skillet. Din't oil it. Recently made it a la vegan style, and it was moist and yummy. I was so happy about that. But I done ruined it with a dollop of vegan butter and maple syrup. :liplick:
Tonight I made tempeh quesadillas. It's a favorite with all of us except the boyfriend. He's got this thing with anything vegan. So, I don't know what he is gonna eat.
Tomorrow I shall mow. I say that..... :bsl: I been sayin' it all week. It's been coldish. Dropping into the 30's at night, fighting to be in the upper 50's/low 60's during the day. We are getting some cold winds. You know; the kind where if you're out it bites, but in the car it feels like July.

:no: stop reading :thwack: these thangs never end well :horror:
"I made it in the oven in a hot, well-seasoned cast-iron pan & it was delicious but still stuck terribly bad. :woe: "
Um yeah ... cast iron "seasoning" is polymerized oil :whistle: You will find it a lot easier and prolly healthier to just add oil :whistle:
Ya noes "corn oil" is one of the bad ones and corn meal is atleast a few percent corn oil just sayin :whistle:
"I don't always use oil on my peppers and onions and such. "
Oh yeah that's a type of multi-step deglazing :yes: it werks best on a steel or stainless steel pan 'cuz you don't remove the cast iron coating AND you can use more acidic ingredients like wine :yes: This werks espeeshully well for thangs like French onion soup where you deglaze the onions 5 to 10 timez :liplick: Iffen ya use wine you also git the wine reduction flavour :drool:
"Tonight I made tempeh quesadillas. It's a favorite with all of us except the boyfriend. He's got this thing with anything vegan. So, I don't know what he is gonna eat."
How often does the boyfriend eat over? :scratch: I only ever ate at a girlfiends parents place when I ran out of :egg: cuses AND I has a lots of them :yes: Most timez iffen I was forced to meet the parents :no: I had them over so I could cook ... it looks a lot better that way too :angel:

Siguie's security system is up and running :bliss: of course it and my battery :electrocute: system is the most :egg: pensive thangs IN siguie manor :whistle: BUT perchance I has :ghost: types roaming the halls invisibly that will now be detected with the motion sensors :share: ... it's possible ... perchance :whistle:

Tonight is grilled beet slices with a kale and chickpea stirfry and mashed taters. :liplick:
I went to buy the beets; lookin for a couple reasonable-sized ones and there, sitting like a small boulder was the biggest beet I ever did saw! I would say it was the size of a small cantaloupe. No joke. :faint: I din't pick that one. I has no idea what I'd do with it.

I bookmarked the blog. :righton: Love the name....It Don't Taste Like Chicken. :cheer:
It was 82 here yesterday & gonna be about the same today. :bliss: Just sayin... :bliss2:
B (& I) worked longer & harder than he has in months :cheer: and then we grilled :tater: & zukes & squash & pineapple. Yum!
Sig, I was working outside when I recalled your comments on corn oil in the thread where you says I dint read anyway :p & I thought... "So. Avoid corn oil like the plague (plaque). :check: ". :hysterical:

...
BOTH 'n morez :yes: I'm not big on mono taskers :unthumbs: I has door sensors on all doors and infrared sensors in main junctions PLUS a couple of :egg: tras in 2 areas where people have claimed weird non-siguie related happenstances. :angel:
Anywho, the main thang is there are two armed settings one when I'm at Home and the other when I'm Away. Depending on what alarms are triggered in what state, I might git a notification, a pHone call from the security service or the police will come for a visit to :check: thangs out. I figured that last bit was worth $5 a month :angel:
Eberythang else is for :boo: types or just siguie brand home automation. Like when I run downstairs and it's an hour afores sunset motion sensors turn on the lights purty muches eberywhere then off agin 5 minutes after no more motion. I also has more humidity and temperature sensors.
Oh and I didn't git anymore cameras :nono: currently I'm just shy of 20 I thinxz :scratch: The Wyze cameras are all outside or recording outside, garage or attic while inside is all siguie brand security cameras 'cuz mine are better 'cept for the weatherproofiness :whistle: Also I don't trust cameras made in China :nonono:
Anywho, a little bit security :yes: a little bit home automation and a little more watch my 3D printer, watch dinger cooking git notified of :ghost: ly presence ... ya noes normal ffuts :yes:
Oh and then there's the :ghost: chaser project :yes: I thunked it would be doog to has a RC car with a video camera ... like the one I use under my house ... but instead use it to look for :ghost: :yes: At first I thunk just has the thang drive through otherwise empty sites with the nightvision on like cemeteries and what not :yes: Then I thunked how about attaching a magnet sensor for emf hot spots. Then I thunked with two spaced a distance apart I could make the thang AIM at the :ghost: but THEN with 3 sensors I could gauge distance towards an emf hotspot THEN THEN why not just add a little AI to aim, then moove towards sed EMF hotspot and :boom: :ghost: chaser project :bliss:
"It's 31F right now. :gaah: We're havin' March in April. :sigh: "
You sooo lucky :buttkick: it's 69°F outside that's dang near 70°F :no: :heat:
:secret: Happy May Day :whistle:
Grilled beets? :scratch: well I guess anythin is better than the durt flavour straight up :yucky:
GigantoBeets are better for turning into pickles :yes: or juicing I guess is a thang. The tiny ones actually does ok as honey glazed with cayenne for a :buttkick:
Could the BIGee sized beet be a Sugar Beet? 'cuz that would be doog to grill :yes: then coat with balsamic vinegar :angel:
Heya :michafire: about time ya showed :tapfoot:
And no squeezing out CME's :buttkick:
Yay Sunday :cheer:
So my nitrate test strips arrived :woohoo: :cheer:
I had plans of testing doof for amounts and release of nitric oxide as determined from saliva nitrate levels BUT as is so often the case I is off the charts :woe: I mean :drama:
Fer realz :sigh: I thinxz I noes why ... it's my evening siguie brand supplement ... I :egg: pected it to have worn off by morning BUT Apparently 1 not ... who nude :dunno:
Anywho I found this guy on youtube using the same brand as one of my test strips AND doesing ffuts similar to what I had planned. Basically testing for baseline {presumably low NO levels} eating ffuts and then testing to see how long the :bump: lasts ... Apparently 1 the bump can last more than 24h ... agin who nude :dunno:
Nitric Oxide Boost- Kale Salad vs Beet Juice! (https://youtu.be/8Yd8smYhRHQ)
In any event the test strips do test for nitrates and nitrites and my guess is it's a copper salt that is the indicator :hmm2: It will likely test positive for meats cured with nitrites BUT overall I suspect these are a doog way to test ones nitrate levelz atleast an hour or more after eating and teeth brushing :oz:
That said I has no idea what "optimal" NO levelz are nor how the saliva test correlates with blood or endothelium levelz :dunno: BUT this was the simplest cheapest thang I could think of since I doubt I was gonna be able to track down and obtain a brachial artery flow meter of any kind :sigh:
:horn: Durty one NOT for :b: his medications ... espeeshully soso ... makes the results useless :therethere:
That said the video gives a doog visual about why Dr.E sez 6 x Leafy Greens :yes:

I've got young kale plants flatted that I am gonna try here on the 'shady side of the street'. :yes:
We have created many microclimates. :yes: I may pot some...plant some. See who does what best.
Benefits of potted is that you can easily move them iffin they say they want more :sun: or circulation or :whatever:
So Mrs Esselstyn (Ann) showed a serving as a double handful raw. She's a wee person tho so :dunno:
They says greens are dose responsive...

So...I'm thinkin' that :sigster: needs a bigger house. All that stuff, which is way cool by the way, can't leave much room for anything else. Ya need a warehouse sectioned into different areas for different projects. 8) That way, you can move unhampered from one to the next, and never have to breakdown or setup or anything. And, your abode can be roomier and peacefuller. I'm always amazed at how much ya got goin' and yet overwhelmed at the same time. :hug:
I love the dark green veggies. I always have a generous supply on hand. Broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, kale, spinach....and I love the deeper greens for salads too. :thumbs:
I'm planning on vegan sushi tomorrow. I'm wondering if I can not use the sugar though. I really don't like the idea. Can I get away with subbing agave? :hmm2:
My stuffing will have cucumber, scallions, kale, and vegan fishy strips. :liplick:
Our weather looks like it's finally turning around where the temps night and day stay in the moderat upper 50's and low 60's. :bliss:
This week the seeds get buried. :thumbs:

Now yer just being ornery :buttkick:
:flyball:
"K the video was fun. :happydance: Kale rules! :hi5: "
Yup! :yes: and iffen you amemberz that NO rating thang kale rulez by a lot a LOT :yes: and that's actually what I wanna test ... compared to other greens Kale is roughly 15 times more NO promoting than :lettuce: and 4 or 5 timez betterer than :spinach: The thang is supposedly drying is not an issue SO ... :whatever: ... can I just make siguie brand kale capsules? :dunno: I'll prolly need to stop my current siguie supplements though 'cuz the test strips seem to stay plurple :drama:
"They says greens are dose responsive... "
Um ... sorta ... he/she is assuming changing from an omnivorous diet to vegetation and the first step to :bump: ing the response is to cultivate the proper biome :blob: So multiple feedings to :bump: the numbers of critters that like that leafy :carp: and as those numbers increase so does the response BUT not really "dose responsive" :buttkick:
"So...I'm thinkin' that :sigster: needs a bigger house."
Yeah though the security ffuts is mostly hidden or on the ceiling so not much space being used. The big issue is how much time is needed to clean eberythang OR in other wurdz eberythang needs cleaning :gaah:
I'm thinking a nice plot of land that I can cover in cement and put up solar panels and has a werk warehose next door :yes: Oh and I'm also hoping for robotic cleaners that can do windows :thumbs:
"I'm planning on vegan sushi tomorrow."
Agave is fine though mix it with the vinegar to thin it out or mixing in withthe rice will make eberythan mooshy :yucky:
BUT instead of sushi you should consider "wraps" not the tortilla kind though :nono: BUT thangs like butter lettuce etc. :yes: Mom used to make "sushi" with spinach instead of seaweed and 'cuz dad preferred brown rice over white she'd does ffuts like a spinach wrap with brown rice and the center was either kimchi {they make their own} or store bought takuan. For protein dad liked sardines which is ok BUT the point is there are many different wraps :yes:
Oh one of my favourites is :endive: cut in half sprinkled with kosher salt then spritzed with olive oil then grilled cut side down or broiled cut side up. Once cooled hit with a little balsamic vinegar then break apart to wrap rice with whatever ... so like sushi rice with seasoned baked tofu for veganz. Also I recommend a sauce made from korean fermented pepper paste, honey, crushed red pepper and soy sauce or hoisin or oyster sauce FYI: oyster :mushrooms: sauce is vegan.
Anywho, it's a bright red sauce BUT not too spicey :nono: it would be perfect for masking the flavour of tempeh ... just sayin :whistle:
Also don't fergetz asian spring rolls are often done in rice paper wraps and those can be easily tweaked for the veganation of ffuts :oz:
It's 65°F and :sun: ny BUT unfortunately it's a munday :sigh:

And vegan sushi. :yes: :drool:
Last night Jacki says, ""Mom.... I think you nailed this low-fat thing." :hysterical:
I had chopped a bunch of kale & added it to boiling whole grain spaghetti noodles.
Then after draining (wished I had saved the beautiful green water but the thought came as it poured down the drain :rofl: )
I put it back in the pot (noodles & greens) & added a jar of cheap marinara (I just chose the lowest fat,sugar & sodium one).
Topped with nooch & served with a side salad... :cheer: Simple, cheap & satisfying.

So...today I :egg: speriment. Sans :egg: of course. :eggface:
I am going to try cornstarch as a thickener but I read that I may need xantham gum?
Any other ideas??
I'm using almond milk cuz it's what I has the most of tho I believe oat milk would prolly be better. :yes:

I saw it at on the back deck at midnight when I let Swami in. It :run: when it saw me.
And I saw it twice more during the day.
When B got home we both saw it again but unfortunately, so did Cookie. :dog: :cat: :run: :run: :rofl:

Awww :wubsigh: K then instead of a :buttkick: here's a :wedgie: :fist:
:flyball:
Mmmmm ice cream :drool: :snowball:
Xanthan gum is doog so is guar gum :yes: Corn starch :woe: Well iffen you boil whatever first then perchance :dunno: srsly corn starch begins thickening at 95°C AND iffen you boil too long it changes {less thick}. In any event stay away from the starches and use the gums for ice cream :yes: and or learn when and why to use thickeners including thangs like tapioca and :tater: starch :yes:
FYI: corn starch is what's used to make pudding so iffen you want ot go that route try frozen pudding ice cream :yes:
I personally like coconut milk sorbets the trick with sorbets is making the ice crystals small enough to feelz creamy. The most common way is lotsa sugar which is fine :yes: and yes you can use honey, agave, corns syrup etc. :yes: However, I likes adding a little Malibu rum ... the alcohol does the same thang as the sugar but without the overly sweet thang :angel:
Alternatively you can use liquid nitrogen for the most AMAZIN creamy texture but it's tricky AND you have to wait for the temperature to rise to atleast -20℃ before eating. I generally put the ffuts in my freezer to warm up to -25℃ but it's too hard to scoop out so needs a little more warming :sigh:
Oh I'm also considering a ... Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker (https://amzn.to/3s9gbiC) <= Amazon Link
Partially because I can git the freezer bowls out of my freezer BUT it's a really really neat system with lots of tweak potential :wubsigh:
Also one of the easiest ice cream/sorbets to make is just take a can of crushed pineapple freezit then creami it and :boom: done :happydance:
BUT at $200 buckaroonies you better be eating a lot of ice cream which is prolly not the bestest choice ... hence my conflicted :drama:
:may5: :zanna: :wub:
"I'm so happy. Reading these recipes & tips & ffutses feels like a homecoming. :wubsigh: "
Yes, I can imagine an ooz kennel homecoming quite tragic :therethere:
:flyball:
I really does think you should be blogging about yer :egg: sploits in regards to :heart: disease and this new diet plan :yes:
That said you should really try fermented pickling :yes: also fermented pepper paste {Gochujang} and korean seasoned miso {Doenjang}, Hoisin, Oyster :mushrooms: sauce oh and with soy and Worcestershire you can purty much make any sauce needed to make doog asian dishes and cover up those vegan taste oddities :whistle:
Srsly thangs like Yakisoba that's just a mix of Hosin, Worcestershire and Ketchup :oz: Mixed with noodles yer set and just throw whatever sauteed veggies on top like onion, nappa cabbage etc.
Tteokbokki (Spicy Stir-fried Rice Cakes) another easy one with strong flavours that can be tweaked. Also I think you'd like the rice cakes :yes:
Also one easy :peas: y one ... sushi like ... kimchi sushi only add some steamed kale and or chick peas, and instead of seaweed use baby spinach to wrap :yes: I've done this one with siguie brand smoked tofu, kimchi, Tteokbokki sauce and wrapped in baby spinach to make rolls.
Just because you insist on turning eberythang into a veganic horror don't mean eberythang has to be bland with a lingering durt after taste :yucky:
In other newses ...
:yawn: :coffee:
It's an oddly quiet sleepy day :zzz:
Srsly the minions are dozing but are still on edge ... weird :huh:

Vegan stuffs ain't bland or dirt tastin'. Just sayin' Iffin yer "vegan" stuffs is, then you ain't doin' it right.
Be careful with Worcestershire Sauce. Most brands have anchovies in it. The vegan one is Wizard's or Annie's. :thumbs:
I don't use honey anymorez. It's stuffs like agave, maple syrup, and sugar. Sugar bein' the last choice.
Vegan ice cream. There are brands that are awesome, and others not so much. I used ta love Luna and Larry's coconut bliss, but they got acquired by another company that is expanding the line into dairy base. Needless to say the vegan communnity is pretty upset.
Here is an article that might be helpful. https://vegan.com/food/ice-cream/ Oatley is pretty good. Tom and Jerry's is very yummy. :thumbs:
Also, this would be fun to nose around in. https://minimalistbaker.com/29-vegan-ice-cream-recipes-tips/
Thing is, the cashews. But there are brands/recipes that don't use them. Just have to explore. The ones with coconut milk seem to be the best IMO. :liplick:

Yeah ok lea & perrins definitely has the delicious fishy ffuts included :liplick:
OK solly I didn't mean "bland" I meant ... oh I dunno how do you describe texturally challenged with in yer face flavours of durt ... oh yeah vegan :moon:
:flyball:
Anywho, I was really just trying to point out that many dishes are simply items bathed in sauce AND that's not a bad thang :nono: Tons of rice bowls are basically sauteed or braised whatever thrown on top of rice and covered with sed sauce :yes: It's also just really easy to make and store.
Thangs like napa cabbage sauteed in soy sauce or just soy sauce bean sprouts, sauteed veggies in white sauce {or brown sauce}. Anywho, them thangs just seemed like a better place to start than no oil flied rice :whistle:
As for the vegan ice cream yeah those are fine :yes: I'm still a fan of siguie brand coconut Malibu sorbet :liplick: Oh and one of the keys is to use a doog vanilla :yes: Vanilla just brings eberythang together and adds a satisfying :bump: Vanilla beans are always the best BUT I'm too lazy so I use vanilla Paste as opposed to :egg: tract. It's the same price as a doog :egg: tract but has more and betterer flavour :yes:
Oh and don't ferget you can turn :coffee: into :egg: cellent non-dairy ice cream :liplick: One thang I was thinking about with the creami was siguie brand coffee with cream 'n sugar plus a dash of Malibu frozen :shiver: then creamafied :drool: That just sounds sooo doog in the summer :wub:
Oh and the thang literally lets you make a block of ice then turns it into shaved ice ... so basically any juice can be turned into a shaved ice dessert :bliss:

Where have you been the last 20yrs? Of course I ain't normal. Mom always said I wasn't like other kids. Bug loved my mac and cheese. She still hasn't gone to the light side as a vegan, so there ya goes. :bsl:
I could be a test subject, but I am an asthmatic. So, I'm not sure if that would work out for you with the pre-existing condition? :hmm2: But sure, I'd test out for you.. :thumbs:
Listen, I was uncomfortably close to that whole 3 Mile :boom: . I was hangin' in Harrisburg in the time frame. Also, I was an anti-nuc sorta girl. Okay yeah, I was a bit of an activist. :whistle: Seriously, the doc kinda brought closure. I knew a young couple that was there for the fallout. Their first child born about a year after it all, had a cleft palate. It took some surgery, but thankfully it was corrected. Also had a few folks that developed cancers. Mostly of the throat. So, yeah heavy stuff, but at least some closure with the truth coming out.
Anywayz, I'm :run: out the door to go :bliss: in the yard and garden. So, I shall have lots of light and fresh air today. It's going up into the upper 60's. :bliss:

So we went from an Ohio Spring to 80's & now 90's for next week. :faint: yzarc. :crazyeyes:
Thanks for the ice cream info. :yes: We can't do coconut...or cashews...or rum :p ..
These nice creams...with frozen :banana: sound the best considering our restrictions.
But they don't incorporate our new ice cream maker. :chuckle:
https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-desserts/vegan-strawberry-chocolate-ice-cream/
I am not a dessert lover. Never have been cuz I've always been sensitive to too much sugar. Plus I think I knew I'd be big as a house iffin I did get addicted. :chuckle:
B & J tho are sugar junkies! :sigh: He has been since I met him. His mother was exactly the same. When he was younger, 6'4" & 180 pounds dripping wet, it seemed to not matter. But I have never been much of a baker so he learned to go without. :chuckle:
So Jacki is the one with the interest in vegan baked goods & treats & ffutses. :yes:
So yesterday we SUDDENLY went to Union City, TN. :yes: That's north of Martin, almost in KY. :yes:
We planned to go to Lowes (Paris) cuz B ran over the hose nozzle with the mower :rofl: but we also had library books to return in Martin.
20 miles one direction...35 miles in a different direction. :sigh: What to does?
Union City has a Lowes!! We went becuz an :angel: at Martin Ruler told me that a store there called Bargain Hunt had cartons of non-refrigerated oat milk.
He was right. :yes: They had Silk brand quart cartons for $1 each! :happydance: I gotted 22. :chuckle:
The store is just a half step up from an indoor yard sale....rather messy...but the prices were closer to yard sale than retail so we had fun scavenging. J got a Paw Patrol coloring book :rofl: & some paint brushes & a bubble wand. I gotted new rose-colored aviators (Tommy Bahama nonetheless) for $4! :happydance: And a gift box of hot sauces...7 of them...for $5 :cheer:
I still don't like labels. Of peoples, in particular. But our diet would be low fat whole food plant-based iffin I had to label.
And my goal is to make it a simple way of life rather than a 'thing'. The hardest part is teaching B how to moderate on the things permitted in moderation.
He thinks if a doof is here...and permitted...then it is perfectly fine to consume in excess. :sigh:
I told him that if he'd read himself then I wouldn't have to be the Food Police but alas... :rofl:
Anyway...last night I made an herb crusted asparagus, air-fried tofu fries, sweet & sour beets, & whole wheat noodles with a creamy oatmilk sauce. He says, "I could eat these tofu fries every night." I says, " :sigh: We can have tofu once or twice a week, max. K?" I only cooked one block on porpoise & he kept snacking at the leftovers til I said, "If you eat all those you won't have any lunch.". :woe: He's just like a big kid. :yes:
:horn: Happy Birthday, Zanna! :sparkle: :may5: :sparkle:

I aint neber sed nuthin about YOU being normal :nono: however NOW yer biome :blob: and :mushrooms: are abbeynormalz too :yes:
Fer realz :yes: roughly 3 months after consistent veganating the main critters are established and by the end of a year yer basically an entirely different person. :sofa:
I has a vegan friend who insisted "Tofu Pups" ... which are vegan tofu hot dogs ... looked and tasted :egg: actly like regular hotdogs AND that we would not be able to tell them apart from like a basic Oscar Mayer weinner.

I admit they looked like regular hot dogs :yes: they basically just burned on the grill like you'd :egg: pect a square of tofu would :roll: Anywho cooking problems aside he was adamant they tasted :egg: actly like a regular hot dog ... they didn't :nono: ... they tasted :egg: actly like a piece of moderately firm tofu ... srsly not even salty tofu :dunno:
That's when I started some investigating ... turns out after about a year vegans go :bsc: :yes: BUT don't worry I noes you started there :therethere: Srsly though not only do tastes and memories change they can warp the new flavours :horror:
SO ... :whatever: ... how does that tofu salmon taste? :whistle: <= me not being judgy :angel:
Ooooh ok asthma is fine but are you using anythin like amyl nitrates say in an inhaler or sumthin? Also any vasodilating medication? :popcorn:
Hmmm :hmm2: .... intriguing there's a new paper out about nitric oxide levels in aveoli but related to RA ... I thinxz it was in April Nature :yes: I'll take a look for it later :wiggle:
:asiel: yer still buying "oat milk" :woe:
Um "permitted in moderation " is what you can has AFTER establishing the plant based diet ... ya noes like a minimum of 6 weeks later preferably 8 to 12 :whistle:
It depends on your level of urgency BUT the indoctrination process is NOT easy, you are literally and quite forcefully :buttkick: ing the old :blob: and :mushrooms: while attempting to cultivate as quickly as possible the new ones.
The moderately permitted ffuts is the "ok" once in a while AFTER and that's partly because like vegan ghurl tastes change and that's the new biome talking to the :brain: Part of the unable to moderate problem is the critters you was trying to :buttkick: are holding out and :blah: :blah: :blah: to B's :brain: :horn: WE NEEDz MORE !!!

Well, there are some things that definitely have changed. I do know I can't handle the smell of meat cooking anymorez. About 4 months ago I mistakenly grabbed dairy creamer and used it in my coffee. I took one swallow and thought "geeze, this is rancid, it must've gone bad". But it hadn't gone bad. I realized my mistake when I went to dump it. As for vegan pups; nope, I totally agree Sig, they doesn't taste like the meat dogs. Not even close. But I do likes them. I tend to cook them slow with a little bit of liquid smoke, soy sauce, and cumin. Strange I know, but it works. :thumbs:
I am not on any inhalers. No meds whatsoever. But, the RA...that is a thing. So, what kinda lab rat do I gotta be?
Asiel, you gots toys! :happydance: I love to color. I hasn't done that in awhile. I'm not crazy about refined sugar. I know it isn't good at all for me, but I do get a sweet tooth every once in a while. Last night I had a sliced banana with chocolate syrup drizzled over it. :liplick: Usually, I go for baked stuffs like banana bread, or carrot cake. That seems to keep me satisfied with the sweets without doing too much damage.

:woe: Sig, the moderation ffutses is just ffuts like tofu, plant milk, maple syrup, breads... the filling ffuts.
Perfectly accceptable, but in moderation. :duh: Vegetables & fruits in abundance! :gstars:
No tofu pups allowed...whatever they are. :rofl: :uhoh:
That said he's beginning to get :mrcrankypants: with the diet. Not quite :horn: Gimme chicken! :fist: yet but close. :chuckle:
It's not much of a change for me except the lack of fat. Nuts & cheese & oils.
But still... I'm down 8 pounds already. :cheer:

"Perfectly accceptable, but in moderation. :duh: ..."
Sooorta ... the bestest way to change ones diet into a new lifestyle is slow inclusion/ :egg: sclusion of doof items to allow the body, biome and :brain: time to adjust. However, for major changes involving drastic alterations to the digestive biome yer better off doesing cold :turkey:
One reason is you now need to think of the previous critters as "infections" ... the :blob: and :mushrooms: that told yer :brain: that you need sugar or :cow: Those items listed as ok in moderation are what helps keep the "infection" going ... these thangs are ok AFTER you replace the old critters NOT while ya does it :nono:
The other reason is 'cuz that's basically Dr.E's protocol for :heart: disease patients :yes: The worser the patient the stricter the compliance needed OR in other wurdz the more you want the benefits the stricter you/he needz to be.
If nuthin else thinxz of it as that 3 walnut halves :egg: ample :oz:
In any event the moderation items Do NOT add to his health as per protocol, when used properly they simply don't reverse what's been gained.
Anywho, like I said afores my opinion is that your Pogo diet was fine and I thunked his :heart: was on the mend with that :yes: The thang about Dr.E's protocol is he's a :heart: doc AND he has tons of evidence showing that people far worser than B made significant reversals AND they did so very quickly all thangs considered :yes: Iffen yer going with Dr.E I'd just recommend going all in to the best of yer ... admittedly meager ... abilities :angel:
Srsly I unerstanz the doof :suck: s but angina is worse and :heart: attack, strokes, diabetes, methemoglobin, liver cirrhosis, renal failure, :electrocute: imbalance :zanna: and on and on are even worser AND those are the thangs you basically git to avoid with sed Dr.E protocol :whistle:
Of course to be fair "no caffeine" makes the whole thang a non-starter with me :whistle:
Oh and look at Pan and how veganizing borked her :brain: ... who doesn't luv the smell of grilling :cow: :wubsigh: ... the answer is the :mushrooms: that took over control of her :brain: :mummy: <= zombie:
When B's new critters :buttkick: the old, they will essentially be a whole new alien race moving in and one of the thangs they will do is rewire his :brain: to comply with their ebil vegetational plans. That's the point where moderation items are ok :yes:

:hysterical: :chuckle: No worries, I werked out which test strips I think are best so I'll git ya setup or atleast PMed this afternoon.
In the meantime has you followed the discussions on Nitric Oxide {NO} ? :popcorn:
Once you git the test strips, the first thang to does is see iffen you even has a Low or Depleted NO level :yes: This is done when getting up in the morning afores eating or :coffee: Just lick yer finger {preferably otherwise clean} then use that finger to wet the test strip tab. They say wait 15 seconds but it clearly can take up to 30 seconds to complete the colour change. After that :check: yer colour vs the scale on the tube :oz:
With luck yer result will be on the low end :yes: If so it's time to psience :bliss:
Basically what raises your NO levels and what inhibits them is what we and by we I mean me want to noes :yes:
Also being an acclimated vegan yer NO levels should spike with certain doof much higher than omnivores, that could be inerestin to :check: out :hmm2:
Oh and that article in Nature I mentioned ... Exhaled nitric oxide in early rheumatoid arthritis and effects of methotrexate treatment (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10334-5)
"Patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and disease modifying treatments have lower nitric oxide (NO) levels in the alveolar compartment (CANO) and in the airway wall (CawNO), but also higher diffusion capacities for NO in the airways (DawNO) compared to matched controls. The aim of the present study was to investigate the NO lung dynamics in patients with recent onset RA before and after immune suppression with methotrexate therapy. ..."
The paper is just a touch technical and the basic results is that methotrexate may ameliorate the inflammation but did not change the levelz of NO in the CANO. In other wurdz low NO levelz and high diffusion are characteristics of the disease and not an effect of the inflammation or treatment :oz:
So here's the thang ... most of the discussion here about NO is in regards to eNOS or endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase which is what relaxes the vascular system and generally higher levelz are always desired because amounts drop with age AND disease and doof and lifestle etc. The catch is there are some diseases which show high levels of NO one of them being RA and the NO being produced is from iNOS or the immune factor that causes the inflammation.
Here's a question does RA have benefits for the rest of the body on account of the increased NO? I'm purty sure nu uh :nono: BUT :idunno:
Guess what we git to investigate :ura: :cheer: :woohoo:

So, a baseline would be about 20-25? Over 50 generally indicates inflammation? Lower scores may indicate elevated cholesterol, atherosclerosis, etc. ?
That poor :treehug: It was my younger healthier one. Well, until now. I stripped about 2ft of bark off it this morning. :faint:
It's Bug's fault. :yes: We got to the stop sign, and Bug says, oh mom back up I forgot somethin'. So I proceeded to back up. Then I noticed my neighbor out with his dog in the street. So, I was focused on him. Bug says, "Mom watch out for the tree."
I started to say "I won't hit the tree" I got as far as "I won't..." and that was that. :huh:
So, I am the proud recipient of the Dumb Driver of the Day Award. :ashamed: The insurance guy tried so hard not to laugh. In the end he
failed. 8) However, he completely believed that being deprived of my 2nd coffee was a valid cause of said accident.

Completely coinkadinkally the reason I cannot use these test strips is Apparenly 1 eberythang I take :bump: s NO :gaah: who nude :dunno:

EGCG :bump:
L-citrulline :bump:

I use turmeric and ginger, but only as spices. Is that significant? I'm thinking no, but I will avoid them next week prior to getting the
strips just to be sure. I'm on absolutely no meds. I take a D3 and B12 supplement is all at the moment. I do have allergies that affect my respiratory system. That may affect the NO reading? Anyways, it will be my baseline, and then we goes from there. :thumbs:
So we had a bank robbery. Said robber, an 83 yr old woman has been apprehended. :huh:
I came home to find all the broken lens pieces from my car neatly piled on my steps. I kinda think that was Jesse. Anywho, I thought it sort of funny that he did that. What am I gonna do with those? He's an odd one he is. I would have gotten them picked up and thrown out later in the day. Guess he din't like looking at them. :bsl:
Monday I take Sophia to the body shop. We shall see iffin' they decide to fix her or scrap her.
Meanwhile, it's gonna be gusty and in the50's today with a frost warning tonight. Then we are lookin' at a week of 70's. Finally.

I agree Asiel. It's fear of losing a way of life, of change, and I get it. I mean I have a ton of memories surrounding picnics, grilling out, big holiday feasts; when all the family and friends were celebrating and actually had fun. It's what builds a comfort food. :rainbow: and yes I met and still meet with some posturing over my "new" lifetstyle. Sometimes I feel frustrated with the push back, but mostly I kinda default to my accomodating side; ya know, live and let die live. :whistle:
Ummmm, yeah I hit the :treehug: that hard. I tore the bumper and crunched the quarter panel, and pretty much demolished the tail light housing. :ashamed: Except the turn signal still works! :faint: Anywayz Amy thinks it'll be about 3K. The car in it's current condition and mileage goes from 2-3K. So, there's a chance they may say :nono: and total it. Sophie is a 2004. So she's 18 years old. BUT she is a toyota, so it's iffyish.
Jesse is a sweet guy and a good neighbor, but yeah he is a little neurotic. But I ain't one to judge that. :bsl:
Energies be :splat: here too. But mayhap they're like that most everywhere. We got spiking in the :blob: factor too.

"I use turmeric and ginger, but only as spices. "
That's fine :thumbs: Do NOT make any changes to your routine :nono: The idea is to establish your baseline, and as long as it's in the morning afores eating anythin it's all doog :thumbs:
Besides I literally git bulk spices that provide much much bigger :bump: s :oz:
That and I'm pretty sure it's the L-citrulline, cayenne, EGCG and now I find my grapeseed :egg: tract :bump: s NO too :no: Oh also my cayenne is speeshul ... 8 to 10 times more capsicum than culinary ffuts.
The thang is I've been making and taking these for years :yes: I'll basically try anythin to see iffen it helps or changes anythin ... iffen it does and I feelz the effect is worth the effort then it stayz in my routine elsewise :buttkick:
It's kinda cool seeing how many of my routine siguie brand supplement ffuts :bump: NO levelz :beerme: BUT it makes a couple of thangs I want to test really HARD or atleast requiring a LOT more time than I was :egg: pectin :fist:
I noes Red/InfraRed light :bump: s NO including eNOS BUT can the test strips measure it? :hmm2:
Oh well in the meantime or after Wednesday we'll see what can be tested :muaha: I mean (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif)
Dang that :treehug: really messed you/SopHia up :therethere:

Happy Mother's Day! :flower:
:thanks: for the banner, :sig:
Sorry bout Sophia, Love. :hugs: Hopefully it all works out for the best. :sparkle:
And glad it wasn't a 'real' accident that could have harmed you &/or Bug. :angel:
If Dr E Ain't vegan then the grass ain't green! :woe: Though he does prefer whole food plant based. And he calls it no fat but really it's super low fat.
The FoK...Forks Over Knives... diet is whole food plant-based with 15% or less of the calories from food.
Though they don't believe in counting calories or nutrients. I likes that approach. I am finding more recipes & cooking tips there than in the"Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook". :righton:
Me & :b: had a 'come to Jesus' talk yesterday and he said he was fully on board & quite appreciative.
I says, "But ya gotta get your head on board cuz the whining & 'joking' about fried chicken or beef stroganoff ( :yucky: ) & ffutses is like a gut punch to me who is the one doing the researching, shopping, washing & chopping & cooking..." :woe:
So we're going to an Asian restaurant today where J & I will has vegetable sushi...B will has vegetable chop suey. :yes:
Mom first mentioned a marina that serves nothing but fried fish & burgers. :sigh:
:popcorn: (air-popped :yucky: ) for the BIG NO :egg: speriment.
:bsl:

See? fried fish and burgers...that's what happens, Asiel. :sigh: I don't think it's a conscious act of sabotage, but that's what it is. Somewheres in the thinking is denial and a dose of well, iffin' that's in front of them they'll change back. :dunno:
I think I'm gonna paint today. :hmm2: I ain't decided. :bliss:
There's always raw veganism. :uhoh: I'm not sure I would ever go that far. Although the idea that the food is processed as little as possible is sorta appealing. :hmm2:
Yeah my :brain: is really racing around this morning, I have no idea why. :bsl:

:woe: iffen yer gonna go vegan you should atleast noes what it is :buttkick:
:horn: It's a lifestyle built on the pHilosopHy that animulez/All living critterz should not be pets, doof, clothes, test subjects, etc. or used by/for hoomanz in anyway :nonono:
The vegan diet is simply built on the principles of animule emancipation :oz:
Iffen you insist on forcing his diet into a category then you can call it "vegan" ... it's not :nono: srsly asplain avocado which is like a vegan holy doof item :roll: or the whole no :stun: thang or no sugar for that matter :whistle:
Dr.E's "diet" is a "protocol" aka a system of rules and regulations NOT a pHilosopHy :nono: that's why some thangs are allowed in "moderation". It's also why he sez some ffuts he is still looking at waiting for study results before including :yes:

Just FYI ya maybe wanna google "which is healthier chop suey vs chow mein" ... :whistle:
Restaurant doof is rarely what you thinxz it is :therethere: Oil is a conduit of flavor and when doof is done right it wont seem oily BUT the delicious sauce has a dark secret :basementcat:
On the plus side at home you can easily make yer own white and brown sauces then just quickly steam veggies { :secret: Instant Pot} throw the veggies over rice and add cover with delicious sauce :liplick:

C'mon now :sigster: she's a newbie to it all. Such a scientist type you are. :bsl:
Yup, vegan be a lifestyle for sure. The core credo: "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.."
So, I do that. My products including cleaning, hygiene, clothing, etc. are animal-free. I have yet to find a pair of comfortable sandals. But I have my sneakers, and a nice pair of slippers that are vegan. :thumbs:
But, I'm not completely animal free. My computer has by-products. AND I support the vaccines, which aren't animal-free either. The vaccines are a real point of contention in the vegan community. :sigh:
There are supposed levels of Veganism. I kinda think that the definitions aren't right though. There aren't really 5 levels IMO.
I see it more like this: 1) plant-based diets where the avoidance of animal products is a dietary choice/necessity.
2) Vegetarian which is the avoidance of animal flesh in the diet.
3) Pescatarians who eat fish, but no other meat products.
4) Moderate Vegans who allow honey and eggs in their diet, But observe all other aspects of vegan practice, including
the avoidance of animal products in any of their consumption ( leather, wool, animal-testing, etc.) However they do
not exclude medical necessity such as vaccines, medicines.
5) Extreme Vegans. They do not allow the honey and eggs, or medical necessity. They're also the ones who are very
judgy towards moderate vegans; not recognizing them as "true" vegans. (But they're living in houses, using
phones, and computers that have animal products in them.)
Personally, I'm mostly a moderate. Except I don't eat honey or eggs. I take vegan vitamins and supplements. Also, I call dibbs on survival. I support vaccines and medicines that save lives. So, there ya have it. Don't get me started on "raw vegans" They're in a class all their own.

See...I was pretty much a #4 before Dr Esselstyn. I ate occasional fish.
I was a 'Light Eater' meaning I only ate (still do) foods that are Lightest in vibration.
But we have always been animal rights advocates & I only fed him meat that was organic &/or humanely raised. He ate very little restaurant meat out of a sense of responsibility & sustainability. He mostly ate chicken & that was just 3x a week or so...
I also avoid leather & don't buy anything related to animal cruelty. Have done that for 25+ years.
The biggest change for us is losing :egg: & :cheese: & the cutting back on tofu. And obliviously...the fats. Olive oil, sesame oil, avocado oil, almond oil... :bye: :candle:
Vegan is still the term that most closely describes our diet. :p And I still don't like having to label any of it. :chuckle:
But iffin we're in a restaurant, we are vegan, pure & simple. :yes: But more technically we are whole food, low fat vegan. :chuckle:
And yes, it is a lifestyle.
As per the restaurant...
QuoteYou can ask for any vegetable, tofu or bean curd stir fry from our Chinese Menu with clear or brown sauce but you MUST specify that it's to be made with no chicken stock because you're vegan
https://www.asiagardenjackson.com/vegan-options-at-asia-garden/
:nana:
We talked about it Saturday... in hindsight it's easy to see how our diet has evolved bit by bit, in a nice orderly fashion, to bring us to this point. :yes: Incredibly, :b: had had more :cow: in the past 6 months than he had in the past 6 years...primarily cuz :sigster: said he needed it to help the collaterals grow. :chuckle: But the 'more' was still just twice a month on average.
And no...no faux meat products necessary. I never needed to replicate meat :yucky: & they are pretty much all highly processed.
That's one of the biggest reasons for no oil in the Fok diet...becuz it is processed.
Our diet is becoming simpler & simpler as we find our groove. :matt:
We eat overnight oats with tons of fruit & oatmilk in it every morning. :yes:
Then we has leftovers (today we gots kale salad with chickpeas) for lunch.
And I then cook enough for dinner for eerbody to have for lunch the following day.
And meals are planned around 'what needs to be cooked first?'. As in which vegetables are looking oldest &/or what needs to be picked. And right now I gots baby lima beans soaking in the fridge so that'll start the meal plan for today...
We are heading into the high 80s & 90s this week so I gonna has lots of lettuces & kales that need to be picked. :yes:

I agree Asiel labels are stoopid for the most part. In the end we do our best for what we and the world around us needs. :hug:
I gotta say I'm sorta a big mouth and doer when it comes to certain things, though. Like trophy hunting. That really irks me and I work to get it outlawed. But I picks my battles in the end of it. I found a truth that I stand in. But, it isn't the truth. As such I don't ever think I'm right and the world is wrong. That's myopic and arrogant. I'd like to avoid adding those qualities to the ones I all ready have. :bsl:
Nice weather today! Got the rental. It's exactly what I hoped I wouldn't get. A bright red toyota corolla with NJ plates...
Anyways the day is wasting, and I'm itchin' to get back outside. :bliss: I wish I were in tanasi to help pick greens. :wub:

I thinxz calling it Animule Emancipation is easier to remember :wiggle:
Anywho it's basically just a sub category of Buddhism and that whole Narada Mahathera thang about "nature is the manifestation of truth" and one should cultivate kindness and compassion for ALL ... even the little bitey bastidz that so need killing :om:
In any event a plant based diet just means yer some type of vegetarian or herbivore. Iffen you eat (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) yer a pescatarian yer not "vegan" just one of the vegeterrestrial offshoots like Lacto-Vegetarians, Ovo-Vegetarians, Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians, Pollotarian, Flexitarian, yadda yadda :blah: :blah: :whatever:
Basically omnivores wishing they were herbivores and making their own categories to be speeshul or asplain their doof choices :roll:
Honestly it never matters to me :nono: just tellz me what yer allergic to or cannot or will not eat and I'll figure sumthin out :yes:
The main reason I eber needed to noes doof requirements or preferences was to plan dates, dinger or when someone would become ill from missing nutrients in their diet :yes: Srsly, diets are always evolving or devolving or :egg: ceptions for this or that being added or removed it's easier just to say what it is instead of coming up with a new name. It's like people who ask for a cappuccino with no foam ... it's either a latte or coffee milk :scratch: ... just say ya want :coffee: with hot milk :gaah:
Same for diets :yes: ... plant based ... with or without :boom: done no asplinations or categories needed :nono:
Ya want pHilosopHy with them :fries: ... sure no problem :yes: plant based with a side of Buddhism :thumbs: would you like some better than thou crustiness added to make it a Vegan ... can does. :angel:

"But, I'm not completely animal free. My computer has by-products."
:chuckle: Yer pHone is a lot worser ... tablets too :yes: Not to mention homes, :electrocute: power lines, :book: s paper, cars ... :hysterical:
Eberythang comes from sumthin :therethere: give thanxz and appreciate the sacrifice of others for the benefits that you receive and noes that someday it will yer turn to give back and you will likewise be appreciated :om:
Srsly :yes: just choose the philosophy that makes you the happiest and eat what makes you the bestest you you can be :wwsd:

Youse knows how I've struggled with that one. :sigh: It's ants right now. And spiders as usual.
But the other day as I squashed ants by the sink & sterilized once again I thunk, "I've become a cold blooded killer since living here.".
:woe: :spitcoffee:
I agrees with all of it/youse. :righton:
It's just a higher vibrational way of being. :om: All of it. Call it Buddhism, call it compassion, call it whatever you want but it all boils down to (or up to) higher vibrations. :angel:

plant-based with a side of Buddhism...I loves that. :chuckle:

I figure twice a month is a good 'schedule'... and then I can fill in the blanks closer to home.

Doog Boj :thumbs:
FYI: You can just spray diluted vinegar around. It makes their trail difficult to find and unless their trail is continuously reinforced it fades away ... srsly :yes:

And vinegar! :woe: I has a spray bottle by the sink of 100% vinegar. I spray the buggers, spray the countertop, spray, spray, spray & it barely seems to faze them. :woe:
And yes, we keep ALL doof cleaned up & gone, counters wiped with the other spray bottle which is vinegar, water, dish soap & lavender, & still... :fist: I have made myself quite loony looking for the entrance point but still I cannot find it.
And yes...our diet DOES fit our durt hobby quite well... :throwdirt:

Imidacloprid or fipronil ... just sayin :whistle:
Actually what the heck is it that you eat that ants would even want? :scratch:
Anywho, fermented vegetation :yes: that's what you should grow then store for winter :oz:
Also how about learning more Japanese veggie over rice recipes 'cuz that's always doog :yes:
Also daikon, bok choy, mung :bean: sprouts, napa cabbage, carrots and celery ... with these and some onions, garlic and ginger there's a near endless supply of doog healthy doof recipes ... add in :tomatoe: and :tater: yer purty much set for the year :bliss:
Srsly I think learning to ferment and making yer doof not taste like shrubbery is the only real hold back :angel:
:horn: Pan ... test strips? Iffen so tomorrow morning Test Time :happydance:

It's hot & muggy AF out there already. :woe: If you close your eyes you can hear & smell the ocean. (Muggy Floriduh Atlantic or Zanna Gulf...not Pacific :p )
We went straight from chilly Ohio :spring: to hot muggy Tanasi summer. :heat:
No acclimation time whatsoever. :crazyeyes:
My poor irises & roses & peonies are saying :no:
For real, accuweather says 84 feels like 97 but headed to 92 feels like :campfire:
We :run: to Jackson after work yesterday & gotted me a new phone :happydance:
But when we came out Lucille said it was 117 in that parking lot. :faint:
The phone? Sure. :yes: So far I loves it. It is a moto g power 2021...unlocked. :happydance:
And it automagically transferred all my photos & contacts (google backup). And...it was under $200.
My old phone, a samsung j7, was oh so slow & would not hold a charge even tho I'd bought 2 new batteries. It also overheated on the regular. And...as of last year it was unsupported by Samsung.

Remove the stoopid ffuts and thangs running in the background that you don't need then put the pHone in Battery Saver and it can run for a few days on a single charge ... though it will also depend on :blah: :blah: timez :oz:
The Moto G default video player is :carp: and it messes up a few thangs BUT you prolly wont notice :sigh:
Otherwise a solid pHone choice :beerme:
Sophia :candle: :tissue:
Has a look at long term rentals :yes: you should never feel rushed when getting a new car :nono:
Also :check: iffen Sophia is street legal and safe to drive. Cars are declared "dead" when their repair cost :egg: ceed their Bluebook value. That don't mean you cannot drive it :yes: Iffen she is safe to drive you can has a minion :thwack: dents out and add artistic flair to any paint scrapes :yes:
Morning will give the best base value BUT you should has plenty and :coffee: is not a problem :nono: just perchance rinse after and wait like 30 minutes :dunno:
The idea is to investigate the Nitric Oxide your body produces AND what is yer diet doing for or to youse :share:

Nope Sophia ain't safe. Absolutely would not pass inspection. Her suspension and catalytic converter are borked.
So, I shall report here? Or should I report elsewhere? A different thread? :dunno:
I'm tired out. I had to pitch the one garden plot on my hands and knees without a proper pitchfork. My other one :boom:
But it's one down and 3 to go.
Time for a shower and make like a potato.

Jacki still can't understand why I just can't "plant some corn, Mom...plant some pumpkins...watermelon...etc."
Over & over I say, "I'd love to, but ya gotta have a spot ready to plant & there's a lot of work in getting it ready.".
I'm favoring pots & :secret: hydroponics more & more... :yes:
And this year many of my vegetables are going to be mixed in with established flower gardens...wherever I can find space. :yes:
I read all about the salt brined pickles & has 2 questions...
1. Isn't that gonna add a lot of sodium? Dr Ess recommends super low sodium...he axshully says to use in this order...miso, tamari, then sea salt in moderation but preferably none at all .
2. Is the Lucky Fish really a valid thing? :huh: And :no: I'm not spending $40 on her affiliate linked one.
My dad (& his mother) always kept a jar of brine in the fridge with cucumber mostly but also any other fresh vegetable pieces & parts. I figure they needed the salt cuz they were out in the fields all day.

"1. Isn't that gonna add a lot of sodium? ..."
No :nono: some but not a lot, the idea is that the salt pullz water out, which crisps the veg. and what little sodium goes in makes it taste better. Just try it and rinse the veg off afores serving. Then add a splash of rice vinegar or balsamic or whatever perchance a sprinkle of sesame seeds or nori or furikake or togarashi.
Keep in mind most of Dr.E's patients have bad or poorly controlled blood pressure AND most prolly don't sweat up a storm toiling in durt fieldz. :hayseed:
"2. Is the Lucky Fish really a valid thing? :huh: "

It's not "needed" it just keeps thangs purty :oz:
Anywho brine solutions are just very useful for altering texture and flavours. Onions quickly soaked or rubbed in salt/brine has a very different texture and flavour. The pickles are just a simple :bump: in texture and flavour. Many people wont notice any difference or even realize these thangs are "pickled". I just thunked it the easiest thang for youse to tries :angel:

Arugla 1452
Spinach 1123
Beets 632
Kale is 10 times better than beets and 6 times better than Spinach BUT both of these are still very high on the NO index :yes:
Next time you eat any of these take a strip test about an hour after eating but anythin from 30 minutes to 2 hours is doog :yes: I can almost guarantee ya wont register as "depleted" :nono:
FYI: depleted in the morning isn't necessarily terrible either :nono: iffen ya likes try a test afores going to bed :yes:

Ya noes :asiel: I was thinkin' that same thing about :michafire: wonderin' how her vacation is going. :D
So, Day 2: Kind of like another baseline Sig. I had an afternoon meal of vegetable stir fry with rice, and lemon ice water. I waited an hour and then did a test. It still read in the depleted zone. :huh: The stir fry had none of the super veggies in the list.
For Day 3, I'm planning on an afternoon meal of kale salad which will include mushrooms, onions, chickpeas, marinated with italian dressing and a couple slices of rye bread. Again, I'm planning on lemon ice water. I'll wait an hour and do the test. :thumbs:
So, I has my starters for tomatos, green peppers, and cucumbers. It's going colder, so I'm waiting to plant tomorrow. There's gonna be rain, and cloudy stuffs and I think that will be better and lower the root shock. Expecially on the tomatos. Also have to mow. Again. :gaah:
Energies have been not so good. Sure nuff we had a mass shooting in a Tops up in Buffalo. Folks are really aggressive it feels like. :uhoh:

I just read about that shooting. :candle: :hearts:
We been outside all day (B is still there :) ) & it was wonderful. :bliss2:
He has been working since pretty much 6AM with NO angina whatsoever. :cheer:
And I noes it is the diet. :yes: Just like I noes the meals before triggered his tachydardic eposodes. :p
I :dog: tard :splat: and he still goes which is how it oughta be in a 'perfect' world. :yes:
:b: planted 50-60 kale, collards & cabbages under the peach tree in the :magic: al garden.
IT's a micro-climate where we is hoping to beat the heat & have kale in the summer.
Pandora...you might just benefit from more & more greens. :yes: Y'all know how hard it is to get greens 6x a day? :faint:
It didn't happen today. :nonono: But I bought a bunch of 4oz baby food jars in which I can put single servings for easy grabbing. :yes: I figure the planting, weedeating, mowing...is upping his nitric oxide levels today. :yes:
I'm making a new veggie burger recipe. :uhoh: Trying to find our go-to.
For lunch I made this: https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-pasta-noodles/vegan-pimiento-cheesy-mac/
and it was actually very good. :yes:
Yep. Summertime cuz it's 5:30 & I haven't even started dinner yet. :chuckle:
ACtually, I did start it...I put on the black rice/brown rice/quinoa for the :burger: s
Wild sweet orange tea first. :wubsigh:

Here's the thang some diseases are characterized by Low NO while some are characterized by High and or uncontrolled NO production.

The other thing I was counting on is that localized swelling is partially due to iNOS production of NO and not production in your vascular system in other wurdz swollen joints prolly don't infuse the blood flow with measurable amounts of NO so the test strips "should" only be an indicator of eNOS which is produced in the endothelium :thumbs:

But, I must :run: the garden awaits, groceries (gotta up supplies from "the list" :thumbs: ), and of course the neverending houseworks.

And YES, exercise DOES raise NO levels. :buttkick:
Quote
Physical exercise associated with NO production: signaling pathways and significance in health and disease
...
Both aerobic and resistance training increases peak oxygen, improves cardiac function, reduces mortality, and enhances performance and the quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure. These improvements occur due to the effects of training on the peripheral circulation and skeletal muscle, rather than on the heart itself. Exercise training and effort promotes the synthesis and release of nitric oxide, decreases oxidative stress, increases blood flow in active skeletal muscle, improves skeletal muscle metabolism, improves angiogenesis, reduces sympathetic arousal, and increases parasympathetic arousal that alleviates cardiac dysrythmia and ischemia (Gąsiorowski and Dutkiewicz, 2013).
There's a whole lot more here you might be innerested in: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4382985/

I was so tired last night once I stopped moving. :blob:
But a little miracle called sleep :cloud9: made me ready to go once again. :happydance:
Tonight is the eclipse... :ninja: And :fullmoon:
The Super Flower Blood Moon lunar eclipse! :huh: :wubsigh:
Global Event: Total Lunar Eclipse
Local Type: Total Lunar Eclipse, in Time
Begins: Sun, May 15, 2022 at 8:32 pm
Maximum: Sun, May 15, 2022 at 11:11 pm 1.413 Magnitude
Ends: Mon, May 16, 2022 at 1:50 am
Duration: 5 hours, 19 minutes
Above times are :elvis: time. Adjust accordingly. :chuckle:
I find it significant that today is B's little sis's bday & she gets an eclipse. Then on Oct 25 B gets a :sun: eclipse for his bday.
Then...on Nov 8 my little sis gets a lunar eclipse for her bday. :huh: What are the odds? :birthday:

Yes, the additional amount needed to deal with the energy requirements of sed :egg: sercise :yes:
In much the same way :egg: sercise increases oxygen saturation :yes: Hey, perchance it's a doog idea to make people with angina :egg: sercise :yes: :yes: :nono:
NO :buttkick: you are confusing momentary production numbers with health levelz. :egg: sercise does NOT replace Greens :buttkick:
Yes, :egg: ercise is doog and yes the body will produce more NO :yes: However, iffen you start with low NO levels you will finish with low NO levels or atleast sumthin very similar 'cuz even if you produced a HUGE amount you USE that amount.
What you are trying to does for B with the 6xGreens is RAISE his overall health level of NO. In other wurdz no amount of :egg: sercise will replace a skipped quantity of "fuel" ... k not really fuel but sorta like the oxidant/antioxidant part.
Srsly the Greens is what you want to use to replace the soso ... take away his soso AND greens then thinxz of what the :egg: sercise will mean.
Regardless of absolute right or wrong :egg: sercise Does NOT replace a quantity of Greens :nonono: Atleast not in B's case ... someone who does not have CAD would prolly be fine iffen ya want to think of it that way :dunno:
Oh and yeah I noes that paper :yes: it kinda implied a signaling pathway between NO generation and mitochondria ... there is one but that paper isn't right :nono:
"Why the face? Kale salad is :liplick: ! :laugh: "
:no: it's not ... raw it has the taste and texture of chewing on paper ... yumm :nono:
On the plus side kale does has some of the thermally most stable organo nitrates and nitrites so even fried it has more NO generating power than spinach which is the next bast thang :oz:
The thang is spinach salad is fine :yes: and I can eat more than 5 times the amount of spinach than kale so iffen it's doog enough for Popeye it's doog enough for me :flex: It's also better value, quicker easier to grow AND can be used in more recipes easily 8)
FYI: Kale goes really well in minestrone :liplick: Minestrone typically has some type of greens but both spinach and collards kinda go limp ... in this one application kale is superior. :angel:

So, the plan for Day 4: A tofu scramble with a garlic, turmeric seasoning mixture, kale, and onions. On the side, an orange and seeded rye toast. :thumbs:
More keeping my mouth shut too. :laugh:
Our weather is very :rain: in fits and starts it is. Unsettled. I love it. We need it.
I have a list of 10 cars, and 6 dealers I intend to pursue tomorrow. I really could use a sharper :brain: Looking at some Honda Civics. :hmm2:
This moon...a critical time of truly letting go, and allowing transformation to happen full throttle. We reckon with our destiny. So, Neo, will it be the blue pill or the red pill? 8)

Anythin with kale will :bump: NO though you may want to try some less revolting shrubbery :yes:
At any rate I'm guessing that your lower than optimal NO numbers is more likely an indication of greater than normal oxidative stress :yes:
My theory on antioxidants is that mostly what you hear about in news and medical asplinations is just wrong :unthumbs: that said antioxidants ARE fer realz and do help just not in the way most peoplez thinxz or atleast not the way most theories claim :nono:
Anywho one of my thangs that I'm looking into and noes is NOT supported by popular science nor medicine is uber doses of ascorbic acid {vit.C}. I thinxz Linus Pauling was right :yes: or at the very least a lot closer than the people who sez 250mg per day max :roll:
In any event when the body is fighting an illness it depletes vit.C levels. I agree that taking vit.C when you get a cold or flu does nuthin :nono: BUT taking more afores catching a cold/flu DOES help :yes:
The point about antioxidants I want to make is that there are multiple ways to :bump: nitric oxide levelz one of which is nitrates/nitrites from greens the other is antioxidants to reduce the arterial oxidative stress produced when mitochondria does what it does. The big thangs that reduce oxidative stress are subcellular melatonin {not the sleepy time ffuts :nono: } AND vit.C :yes: the easiest one to :bump: being vit.C :angel:
Lowering oxidative stress allows more NO to be produced. It's the same reason my pomegranate intake is likely helping my NO levelz :yes: That and the 3g of L-citruline that I take eberyday with ascorbic acid and Koolaid :whistle:
The system that produces the NO in the body involves a cycle that requires L-arginine BUT L-citruline is turned into L-argining and L-citruline gives the biggest NO :bump: PLUS I use 2:1 citruline to malate 'cuz it double :bump: :bump: s ffuts and includes improved absorption and NRG productions PLUS tastes better :angel:
I setup the timelapse BUT not too hopeful not only is it only a partial eclipse here but the angle and altitude is sooo low that it's prolly gonna be behind a line of trees :gaah: Dang you natures :fist:

Pandora... extra :magic: for car shopping. And :sparkle: :brain: :sparkle:
So ya noes, way back in 95...pre internet (for me) I took 12,000 mg of vit C along with a super high powered B complex every day to bring me out of the 12 year illness I had been in. :sparkle: :righton:
As for the paper being wrong...how the heck are ordinary folks apposta know if seemingly correct papers are axshully correct or not? :woe:

Foodie friends...
I made oil free, tahini free hummus. Yeah, I know. :chuckle:
It's not bad. :yes: I read a bunch of recipes...tried one awhile back :yucky: & then decided to just make it 'my way'. :uhoh:
I used chickpeas, garlic, cumin, miso paste & lemon. It's quite edible & way way better than the other recipe I'd tried (it used spicy brown mustard) but it could be better. It's missing something. Yeah, olive oil. :rofl:
I had no decent garlic (all the grocery garlic is sprouted of late :sigh: ) so I used granulated. Real garlic, even roasted garlic, might just do it. Maybe a few roasted, ground sesame seeds?
But the miso paste works surprisingly (or not :p ) well. It supplies the umami & saltiness.
Dr Ess says to use sodium stuffs in moderation but to use them in this order... Miso, reduced sodium tamari, reduced sodium soy sauce, salt.

Not bad, Asiel. :thumbs: I think using fresh minced garlic, some ground hulled sesame seeds, and then add a little paprika might to the trick?Garnish the top with parsley. :thumbs: You aren't going to get the "creamy" effect w/o oil, but if you use iced water, it will make it fluffier.

Talked to my Bro and tryin' to figure somethin' out there. :huh:
So. I ain't even begun to think about eating. Day 3 is delayed until tomorrow. :drama:
Honestly, I can't git out of my own way. :electrocute:
Oh and Sig....explain epsom salts to me. Can soaking in them, not ingesting them, cause any kinds of reactions besides skin related?

Prolly a doog choice :thumbs: The B vitamins can be reduced after a week or two ... you will noes you is peeing it out when um well it's purty oblivious (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif) The vit.C on the other hand can be upped to what is called "Bowel Tolerance" :whistle:
Supposedly Linus Pauling took 18g a day but broke it up into 6 x 3g doses. I takes 3g to 6g per day 3g of pure ascorbic acid in the morning and these orange gel candies from costco during the rest of the day :oz:
Basically ebery illness mild to :egg: treme can quickly deplete the vit.C stores in the body AND while it wouldn't prevent say covid catching it would help reduce the duration and symptoms IFFEN you had uber surplus or atleast that was my reasoning :oz:
In any event iffen you google vit.C plus any long term illness or disease like CAD you will see positive results or reasons for taking more C ... admittedly those research papers are not always well done or thunked out BUT vit.C is cheap and I has like 4lbs of the ffuts :whistle:
Oh and vit.C in relation to RA there's a huge amount of positive findings BUT I don't want to oversell anything 'cuz the BESTEST results are from intravenous C :whistle:

The swelling in inflamation is partially due to NO produced by iNOS and that's why Pan showing "depleted" on the test strips was a doog thang :yes: it means that RA inflammation is localized enough not to be a factor in oral testing :thumbs: Apparently 1 it's not even enough of a factor to propel her vascular NO levelz up to acceptable levelz or so it would seem :whistle:

Yes, though most reactions are skin related, the others tend to indicate low Magnesium levelz and are related to weird swelling and muskle cramping. For the most part it's a combination of changes in electrolytes and improved circulation for the area soaked. Iffen the soaking was an area that is swollen by RA then it may also include autoimmune ffuts BUT I don't noes muches about them :nono:

:asiel: canz read prolly betterer than all of us put together. Oh wait...that's a :uhoh: thought...all of us put together like (https://www.animoticons.com/files/holidays/halloween-smiley-faces/31.gif)
Interestingly enough, prior to veganizing, I was having terrible pain and swelling from the RA in both hands and wrists. Like sausages, and it actually brought me to tears on some days. Specially the cold days. After veganizing, I haven't had as severe an onset again. Most times it's very localized to just the right pinky finger. Which seems weird. :huh: Boy, that finger is borked though. All crooked and stuff. So, perhaps what I inadvertently did was increase all those super greens in my diet and removed the more inflammatory foods. I know that turmeric was something I never used until I veganized. I've tried taking vit C, but for some dang reason I get nauseated. :dunno:
Anywayz, I think I got my heart set on another Toyota Camry. Autochecked liked a rock star. I'm gonna check it out tomorrow when I goes out to git a new tea kettle. :ashamed: But, the Subaru is still in the running. :thumbs:

Tea kettle. :candle: You are on a bit of an accident-al course right now. :zanna: Just be careful. :hugs:
I saw a full moon description that said 'shaken, not stirred' & that feels about right. :chuckle:
And :doh: the ice water! I knew that but forgot cuz really it's the almost-mushy texture that is 'off'.
Epsom salts can raise blood pressure! :yes: Very much so, iffin a person is already hypertensive.
We almost 'did B in' :ashamed: with a too hot epsom salt bath when we thunk he had an injury. :uhoh:
Won't do that again.
K sig, this comment made me :spitcoffee:
nitric oxide is just a gas that is overly focused on iffen it was the answer to eberythang you'd just keep a cylinder on hand and huff it as needed ...
Point taken. :carp: I didn't know nothin bout nitric oxide or TMAOs or any of this before a month or so ago. :wiggle:
Now I know a little more than nothin. :rofl:

That mushy could also be from using canned chickpeas? Try using dried, if you used canned. That's why falafel recipes expressly insist on dried not canned. Elsewise the falafels are heavy, not fluffy. :thumbs:
Yeah, I'm trying to multi-task some stuff, and I'm not good at it. Mom always said I had a one-track mind. :laugh: She wasn't wrong.
Thing is, I have to stop, slow down, and remember that about me. :yes:
The Epsom Salts story is complicated. Likely will post more about it in my room. The raised blood pressure. That might fit into the strange story. :hmm2:

I keep a few cans of beans for 'emergency'...quick grab...but my pantry consists of pounds & pounds of assorted dried beans & peas.
They are simply better. :yes:
J & I are venturing out today. :uhoh:
Been awhile since we've been to Martin. Our former regular shoppings...before Dr Esselstyn & Murray. :crazyeyes:
But Tommy's...my Salvage Store that is really called Smart Dollars :rofl: ... anyway, Tommy often has lots of good vinegars & hot sauces & salsas & more..
I used to buy
Then off to Martin. :wiggle:

"Epsom salts can raise blood pressure! :yes: Very much so, iffin a person is already hypertensive."
:huh: I aint neber heard of this :nono: In fact epsom salt soaks are a known method for reducing blood pressure :dunno: It's a Magnesium salt not Sodium so I has no clue how a BP :bump: is even mechanistically possible :dunno:
For the most part magnesium just enters the top layer of the skin and may help open some blood vessels. Only a tiny fraction of the magnesium makes it through the skin. In fact Magnesium Chloride in water aka "Magnesium Oil" is a superior transdermal.
Anywho, NOT saying it cannot happen BUT yeah never heard of it raising bp :nono:
"He also has many dented cans of organic Italian whole tomatoes and the big cans are 3 for $!. :cheer: "
Ooooh :check: for the D.O.P. on San Marzano :tomatoe: s :happydance: The vast majority of San Marzano's in the US are fake :unthumbs: but the D.O.P. is a doog sign :yes:
I likes San Marzano :tomatoe: s they are not necessarily the bestest for eberything :nono: BUT :pizza: and pasta definitely have a more Italiano taste :oz: AND yeah I did a siguie sauce comparison test :yes: simple marinara then San Marzano FTW :happydance:

It asplains why Dr.E sez no seadoof :nono: and also mentions the biome critters :blob: that produce TMA which is processed in the liver to TMAO :uhoh:
Anywho TMAO is a thang that helps marine animulez so seadoof comes with it. Not mentioned in this paper BUT related is that the deeper the animulez habitat the more TMAO they need and thus has :yes:

The oil thang is a bit of a :carp: shoot yeah there's microvessel proinflmmatory thangs BUT not all oils do that AND it's really only a thang for those with existing vascular disease.

Oh and diets high in saturated fat can induce high plasma fatty acid ... this can then result in a reduction of NOS3 phosphorylation. With NOS3 being one of the endothelial nitric oxide making enzymes. My guess is this is what Dr.E is going on about when he says oil damages endothelials ... "no" but yeah sure close enough.
Back to NO testing ... :angel:
So that test strip thang don't says what the units really are BUT I does noes that for healthy individuals the "normal" concentration should be ~25ppm and the "Low" on the strips sez 20 which is close to 20ppm so I'm gonna refer to those levelz as ppm 'cuz those numbers are in the zone and it makes sensicalz :yes:

Seadoof :hysterical: Funny word. :yes:
We don't do none of that no mores.
I can tell :b: 's biome has changed cuz he actually seems to enjoy most of the veganistic offerings now rather than just eating them cuz he 'has' to. :yes:
I tells ya, spaghetti w/kale is the simplest busy weekday meal ever. :yes:
Whole grain spaghetti, stemmed & chopped kale added with the spaghetti. After draining I put it back in the pot, mix in a jar of sauce & done. :clap:
Side salad & instant one pot easy meal. Keeper. :check:
I always thought it kinda fun when peoples said they had regular weekly meals... As in Spaghetti on Monday, Tacos on Tuesday, :whatever: , :whatever: , :whatever:
And I always talk about doesing that. :yes:
But it never seems to work out that way. :hysterical: I just ain't built to be regimented. :sigh:
All I noes about epsom salts is that there is a warning on the side of the package that says not to be used by heart patients or those with hypertension. I also noes that when B soaked in it he got very very red (the water was NOT that hot), unsteady, & once he got out & checked his BP it was back in the 200/100 range & his heart rate was up around 80-90. We were trying to soothe his skin when he had bad psoriasis flare.
After that incidence I saw the warning on the package. :sigh: We did know his BP tended to spike, we did not yet know he had blockages.
D.O.P on tomatoes. :check: All he had were crushed yesterday...and all I gotted was Greenwise organic. I think that's a Publix's thingy. He gets trucks from Publix & Meijer mostly. And eeerthang is damaged. As in agave with the seal intact but the flip top broken. Or smashed tea boxes (I get lots of those) or smashed tissue boxes. I usta occasionally get big cans of olive oil with just a small dent....but not no mores. :chuckle: And I regularly gotted coconut milk for .69 which is why I used too many. :ashamed:
SO yesterday it was red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar & rice vinegar. :woe: No more oils. :chuckle:
But he DID has lots & lots of different hot sauces. :cheer: Those are fun to try. Many of them just .39 :)
The store continuosly changes cuz he gets what he gets. I likes that, but peoples who don't understanz the concept get mad when he's "out of something". :woe:

I thinxz you should :check: that epsom salt warning 'cuz I'm pretty sure it's a warning of LOW blood pressure. Other than that there are oral and soaking warnings ... oral use as a laxative can has unintended consequences :uhoh: but many of the better sport drinks add Magnesium to replenish electrolytes :yes:
I noes some people do have skin rashes with epsom salt BUT it's relatively rare and I thunk it was supposedly doog for psoriasis :scratch:
Yeah I say :check: my guess is skin rash followed by panic :yes: There is little evidence that epsom salt soaks do very much to begin with and mechanistically I cannot think of anythin that would directly effect bp. Even iffen it were pure sodium salt :nono:
Oh yeah kale {or spinach} pasta is simple :yes: I don't even steam the ffuts first :nono: I just dump the water a little early throw in the greens to wilt, then add the sauce and simmer/steam until eberythang is ready :yes: This also gits the pasta sauce IN to the pasta as well as flavouring the kale/spinach :yes: Of course I also add butter afores the kale and grated parm after it's done BUT presumably you skip that part.
Thang is those are the kind of meals that also go doog with some crispy French bread especially iffen it's a loose sauce :yes:
:yawn: :coffee:

It's a beautiful day. :bliss:
'Cept we're outta mower gas & B took the cans so I cain't mow. :sigh:
As for the epsom salts.. I believes you in that low BP is a typical side effect, but I noes what I noes.
He is atypical. In every sense of the word. :chuckle:
Maybe the fact that when he had the bad reaction his skin was literally peeling off of his body like a bad bad burn.
And a large volume of skin cuz it was his entire shin surface & he has a 37" inseam. As well as numerous other patchy spots & very bad hands. So maybe the lack of skin layers affected the absorption.
Boy oh boy I hope that skin condition is gone forever. :sparkle: He is 98.2% clear now. :rofl: Axshully, more like 100% clear with residual scarring. History shows that the scarring will dissipate, too. :yes:

So as I'm reading...intrestingly...I kept thinking "where would I find such :tater: for seed?" and you end with...
:bsl:
:thanks: I will :check: it out. :righton:
Oh but the only lists he has are the list of 'green's (including beets, :broccoli:, bok choy, etc) & a short lists of NOs. :no: not N.O. :chuckle: No oil, nothing with a face or a mother, no dairy or eggs, no factry foods & no sugar except maple syrup in tiny amounts and whole grains only.
Everything else on the planet is permitted. :bliss:
I am now down 12 pounds! :cheer:
FYI, air-popped :popcorn: is quite tasty with salt that has been ground to a powder in a coffee grinder. :cheer:
I also made a finely ground 'seasoned salt'. And yesterday I made some 'acceptable' air fried :tater: chips (B's favorite doof).
I think they can be better tho. :yes: I soaked in ice water, then drained & dried, then air-fried at 350. They cooked quite unevenly & the white part was still french-fry-ey. They had to get almost burnt to properly crisp.
If only I knew a chemist who might knows a trick or 2 to improve the final product... :scratch: :pie:
I also did a quick :check: on :electrocute: 60" zero turn mowers & found that they run abouts an hour. :woe:
IT takes 10-12 hours to mow eeerthang here. :yes:
But we are mowing much less :cheer: since gas has gotten up to city-folk prices. :woe: &4.29 last I saw. :sigh:
So last night I made red beans & rice :whatever: BUT when I got down the gib can of whole :tomatoe: I saw that it said N.O.P. on the can! :righton: Thanks for the know-how. :righton:
SO all day yesterday, all night last night & now intensified this morning we gots :blowme: :blowme: :blowme:
It feels like it does when there's hurrycanes moving in :windy: 's Gulf. :yes:
Far as I know there's not. :dunno:

It's a lubly 64°F with lotsa :sun: :bliss:
BUT the humidity is at 18% :no:
Srsly it feelz really dry which is ok but when the temp goes up in the afternoon the humidity will drop to the low teens :sofa:
As for finding the Satsumaimo :tater: almost certainly findable in asian markets :yes: It's one of those "important" asian ingredients that ALL asian stores carry like Daikon, Bok Choy, Taro, Satsumaimo :whistle:
I "beleeb" it's also known as Hawaiian :tater: it may or may not be the same BUT the Hawaiian :tater: is really doog too :yes: Basically bright plurple inside, sweeter than you :egg: pect BUT also a different texture than typical sweet :tater:
Anywho I thinxz ... 5 rooted Sweet potato rooted slips 5 organic Purple stokes and Japanese purple too (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1216958577/5-rooted-sweet-potato-rooted-slips-5) ... is what you want :yes: There are other versions of Japanese Sweet :tater: BUT this {to me} looks like the Okinawa version :yes:
"Everything else on the planet is permitted. :bliss: "
Yeah :yes: 'cept of course :stun: oh and no avocado :whistle: Hmmm other than whole grains, legumes, vegetables and most fruit that's purty much it ... oh and seasoned with minimal salt and maple syrup is the only "allowed" sweetener AND only in moderation. Gosh it is shorter just to list what you can eat huh :yes:
"FYI, air-popped :popcorn: is quite tasty with salt that has been ground to a powder in a coffee grinder. :cheer: "
A mortar and pestle is better :yes: Also nutritional yeast is better on :popcorn: espeeshully mortified with a little cayenne and smoked paprika, garlic powder and a pinch of sugar :liplick:
One problem with adding spice powder to air popped corn is it falls off too easy ... git a fine mist sprayer like a siguie brand mister 8) ... fog the :popcorn: and quickl sprinkle with magic dust and toss to combine possibly more fogging too :oz:

No ankle breakage. :nonono:
I've shied away from silicone mats thinking they are um... plastic. :chuckle:
Yeah, I noes... :whatever:
I really can't use a baking sheet? Or just the air fryer basket in the air fryer without the air?
Plurple sweet :tater: slips. :righton: 5 for $15 :faint: Maybe... I have bought them at Whole Foods, back in my 'other life'. :chuckle: They are delicious. :yes:
So energies are :boom: and yesterday afternoon Sonnyland went :boom:
Remembers Sonny & Cher (Sharon) who moved nearby & lived in a camper? Then they began building a f'ing campground?
Crazy crazy monies they spent on building up a place for their friends to come & visit. :huh:
In recent year I believe he's rented out campsites. :yes:
Fast forward short story... Their camper blew up...BIG fire. Then 3 propane tanks blew. :boom: :boom: :boom:
25 or 30 first responder vehicles showed up. :frantic: :faint:
:b: went over to see what was what & it seems Sonny died last year :candle: Labor Day weekend.
Cher is in Indiana (Illinois) with family.
Nobody was hurt, but the place he :bsc: ily created is gone! :faint: :candle: :wtf:

"I've shied away from silicone mats thinking they are um... plastic. :chuckle:
Yeah, I noes... :whatever: "
They are :yes: and they is AWESOME :bliss:
I has one underneath the basket in my air fryer AND one with holes in the basket. Both just make cleaning soooo much easier :thumbs:
I also cook on one when using my induction thingy :wiggle: I'm a doof flipper and I'm always worried about the glass surface getting borked or badly scratched :uhoh: Also I has a flat iron griddle that lives on the thang :wubsigh: so I can play fry cook :bliss2:
"I really can't use a baking sheet? Or just the air fryer basket in the air fryer without the air?"
You can try whatever you like :yes: But the problem is you want to cook the doof through AND produce a crisp exterior without it becoming leathery ALL while using no oil AND not sticking to whatever it is cooking on.
You need the surface temperature to become very hot while holding the moisture in OR something to produce a crispy :egg: terior without using :egg: or oil :roll: Yer best simple choice is "bake" on a non-porous material that the starch in the :tater: wont stick to then finish with high heat so sil pat or parchment paper ... yer choice. I use parchment a lot to avoid cleaning :yes: BUT sil pats can handle higher heat :dunno:
FYI: SIL Pat and sil pad are different ... original SIL Pats were the first high heat silicone pads and they could handle 500℉ no problem OTHER silicone pads might be as low as 300℉ so always :check: heat tolerance.
You can also try coatings :yes: corn starch makes a delicious crunchy shell BUT without oil you will need to pre-gel the cornstarch basically cornstarch in liquid heated to a boil to make a paste, then use that paste to paint the fries. The paste itself will need to be very thin {it's ok to thin out after gelling} AND the viscosity required is going to depend on the thickness of the cut :tater: as well as the temperature of the oven AND being basically glue it's gonna stick to eberythang 'cept a sil pat ... wow what a coinkidink and we was just discussing them thangs :whistle:
That said the paste should has flavour other than glue ... so salt, pepper, garlic powder etc. I always like cayenne and smoked paprika. Anywho that's how ya add crisp without oil ... iffen ya want a more substantial crust add some flour afores gelling. Iffen the encasement becomes too hard, add baking powder {not soda :nono: }. Yer basically making a hard biscuit coating ... iffen ya want a little more "tooth" instead of baking powder use Lecithin ... basically :egg: yolk substitute ... at this point it's basically breading like a cutlet :angel:
Srsly, it's just :fries: ... decide on what you want as a final product then choose yer reagents and reaction conditions appropriately THEN :egg: periment to maximize yield and quality and :boom: yer a kemyst chef :angel:

Today we is going to Paducah. :elfparty:
:b: has no shorts that don't fall off of him. :scared:
He is down 20 pounds since the last cardio bump & squarely in a size 32...the size he wore most of his life. :yes:
And :j: has lost 7...on a 4'9" frame...but she had already dropped 10ish from the Pogo diet. :p
Me... 12 pounds so far but I gots shorts & jeans in several sizes. :rofl: :happydance:
It :rain: & :rain: & :rain: last night. :umbrella:
We planted our :butt: s off yesterday. B worked planting, digging, chainsawing, carrying off loads of branches...from 7AM til 4PM with absolutely no pain or discomfort. :cheer: And J ack i noticed at 1PM that he'd forgotten his morning meds. :faint:
No so-so, no nothing & still he worked like he did 15 years ago & was a ball of energy & fine.
Except we both gots very sore legs. :rofl: Lotsa squats. :leisa:

:flyball:
:sun: :daisy: s are the bestest :ura: :bliss:
Has nuf in Paducky :hi:
And I hopes you all find yer :missing: weight :therethere:
:muaha:
Iffen B wants to go medlos I'd recommend starting on a Friday the issue ffuts would take a day or two to manifest :sofa: Also be sure he has his six revolting veggie doses ready ... prolly kale is best too :yes: or spinach iffen he can eat 5 times more :dunno: The problem is his soso is slow release to werk over longer periods aka :egg: tended Release {ER version ... perchance LR :scratch: } ... what he should has is the "immediate-release" type :yes:
He should prolly ask the doc for it :yes: AND if possible the 5mg dosage. For :wheee: people the dosage is 5mg twice a day and real sized peoplez 10mg twice a day BUT getting the 5mg dose adds options :yes:
Also is he taking 10mg isosorbide? :scratch: I figured his bp wasn't "uncontrolled" so 10mg is the an angina only amount ... for bp issues I thinxz the ffuts goes up to 60mg :faint:
Oh and be sure the doc noes he losteded 20lbs since he/she/it last sawed him AND is ok with all day intensive pHyzical activity :flex: The weight loss alone should qualify him for atleast an attempt at a soso :buttkick: :yes:
:sun: 62°F :bliss:
With summer quickly approaching :uhoh: prices on :electrocute: heating ffuts are dropping :cheer: SO ... :whatever: ... I'm playing with PTC heating modules ... :secret: "Positive Temperature Coefficient" :woohoo: Anywho these thangs are 12V which means they werk with my solar ffuts AND they are basically made to rise to and hold a specific temperature so even without a fan they "should" not be a fire hazard (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)
I'm werken on ideas for solar heating that are sufficiently safe to not has to worry about bursting into flame. It's a little surprising how many :electrocute: options are NOT safe :horror:

Iffen B wants to go medlos I'd recommend starting on a Friday the issue ffuts would take a day or two to manifest :sofa: Also be sure he has his six revolting veggie doses ready ... prolly kale is best too :yes: or spinach iffen he can eat 5 times more :dunno: The problem is his soso is slow release to werk over longer periods aka :egg: tended Release {ER version ... perchance LR :scratch: } ... what he should has is the "immediate-release" type :yes:
He should prolly ask the doc for it :yes: AND if possible the 5mg dosage. For :wheee: people the dosage is 5mg twice a day and real sized peoplez 10mg twice a day BUT getting the 5mg dose adds options :yes:
Also is he taking 10mg isosorbide? :scratch: I figured his bp wasn't "uncontrolled" so 10mg is the an angina only amount ... for bp issues I thinxz the ffuts goes up to 60mg :faint:
Oh and be sure the doc noes he losteded 20lbs since he/she/it last sawed him AND is ok with all day intensive pHyzical activity :flex: The weight loss alone should qualify him for atleast an attempt at a soso :buttkick: :yes:
:sun: 62°F :bliss:
With summer quickly approaching :uhoh: prices on :electrocute: heating ffuts are dropping :cheer: SO ... :whatever: ... I'm playing with PTC heating modules ... :secret: "Positive Temperature Coefficient" :woohoo: Anywho these thangs are 12V which means they werk with my solar ffuts AND they are basically made to rise to and hold a specific temperature so even without a fan they "should" not be a fire hazard (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)
I'm werken on ideas for solar heating that are sufficiently safe to not has to worry about bursting into flame. It's a little surprising how many :electrocute: options are NOT safe :horror:

Sig he's on 30 mg ER. Thing is, when he asked Jimmy about de-prescribing he says, "Sure...we can start that when you see GIbson (regular cardiologist) in June. First he'll stop the lisinopril & up the isosorbate to compensate. :sigh: Then after a bit the ranolazine & finally the isosorbate. You'll be on the statin & baby aspirin the rest of your life.". :sigh:
We just shrugged & are waiting to talk to the regular cardiologist in just a couple weeks. :wiggle:
They already tolded him that there are no physical limitations. "Stop if you feel pain" is the only directive.
They gonna check his cholesterol before the visit. Regardless of your opine, that is the measurement they use to gauge everything they do. :sigh: I'm hoping it has gone down significantly. :yes: The LDL is primarily all they care about & his was just a bit over 100. I don't recall the exact number. Their target is 70. According to Dr. Ess, his patients get theirs down to 40 or below.

OK was it Disneyland? :cheer:
Yeah fine :hmm2: iffen you was one of the postdocs it would be the Baltic Sea or Italy and occasionally Greece or Spain but mostly they all seem to go to the beach and does nuthin but burn (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) and drink heavily :roll: Though I guess those places are not known for their :wave: s (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/surf2.gif)
SO ... :whatever: ... Dumbai agin huh :therethere:
Atleast yer back and pre-heated :happydance:
"Sig he's on 30 mg ER"
Say what? :huh: :faint:
Well that certainly asplains the no morez angina :roll: :faint:
Wasn't his blood pressure "normal-ish" 'cuz that's the lower "uncontroled" bp starter dose. Unless his angina was purty much constant he shoulda started with 10mg kinda at most. I was under the impression he had angina once or twice a week spontaneously with occasionally overdone angina in which case it should has been the immediate release ffuts 5mg or 10mg as needed.
"First he'll stop the lisinopril & up the isosorbate to compensate. "
Huh :huh: OK I am srsly missing a memo :uhoh: THAT is the protocol for High Blood Pressure patients. Yes, lisinopril reduces bp BUT I thunked it was a fun sized dose to gain the :heart: protective elements and not reduce BP :scratch:
K I'm getting losteded here ... affores all of the medication wasn't B's bp routinely normal with occasional bouts of low. The only "high" BPs were when he was having an angina event ... or atleast that was the memos I gotted :dunno:
"They gonna check his cholesterol before the visit. Regardless of your opine, that is the measurement they use to gauge everything they do. :sigh: "
Despite what you thinxz I don't has a single "opine" about cholesterol :nono: Iffen yer healthy it don't make no neber mind :nono: but iffen you has CAD like B then yeah it's an important element to be awarez of :yes:
Think of my "opine" on LDL kinda like blood glucose ... iffen yer NOT diabetic and in doog pHyzical shape blood glucose is just a number that will be high and low on occasion ... fugetaboutit :bliss: Iffen yer prone to low blood sugar events then it might be important AND iffen yer a massively overweight (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) whose only :egg: sercise is thumping bibles :thwack: Yeah perchance blood glucose is an important number and may need some controlz :whistle:
LDL is basically the same :yes: it's only an issue iffen you has an issue OR yer doctor makes it an issue with statins :gaah:
That said iffen B's not having any side effects fine ... I would :egg: pect that to be the last med :buttkick: ed anywho.
Dr.E just says LDL 80-85 as a goal but under is even better ... iffen you has no oil in yer diet and no meat under 100 is purty normal without statinz :dunno:
"According to Dr. Ess, his patients get theirs down to 40 or below. "
:scratch: I don't noes what the minimum healthful or required level is but LDL is needed by ebery single hooman cell AND a whole bunch of hormones are made from it so there's definitely a "too low" at some point. I'd say stop at 80 'cuz that's the level he claims is :heart: attack proof which is basically doog enough and I'm all about barely doog enough :thumbs:
Srsly though don't fall into the numberz trap :thwack: metrics are great BUT noes what they actually mean :yes: Eberythang is about :balance: too low or too high are equally bad :om:
K so I asked an MD friend about soso for angina and ok fine 30mg is the starter dose for a full sized adult :ashamed: but that amount should be tweaked based on bp, severity of attacks and frequency. PLUS any major risk factors which unfortunately blocked arteries kinda :bump: s way up :whistle:
Oh and the ER variety is the one generally prescribed because it's less likely to result in death when a patient fergetz to take it :whistle:
Also he said the cardiologist in charge needs to be the one making the decisions 'cuz they have their own preferred regimens and generally say here take ALL of these (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) AND yes prolly over medicated BUT they noes the mix 'cuz it's what they use for eberyone. They likes overlap 'cuz some drugs will need to be dropped or changed so k fine :whatever: I still thinxz he'd have been better off without the soso :sigh: BUT yeah listen to the cardiologist :blah:

Yeah, listen to the cardiologist. :yes:
And yes, his angina was pretty much constant befores he started the soso...and it continued even after starting it.
That's why they added the ranolazine.
And no, we ain't playing no numbers game. I'm just stating their protocol.
Heck, before this B had his cholesterol checked in 2011 & then again in 2021...both times as a work-related physical.
As far as I know I've only had mine checked the once...in 2021. You knows me better than that. :buttkick:
I has no clue where my thyroid levels are. :dunno: I does have an herbal tincture tho that I take when I feel myself speeding up. :frantic:
:balance: :yes: And support the body so it can heal itself to the highest degree possible. :gheart:
All I cares about the cholesterol numbers is becuz his primary cardiologist thunk it impossible to lower cholesterol with diet alone cuz people in today's world are unable to avoid fast food, barbecue, etc. :whatever:
Even Jimmy, the interventionalist who referred the diets, doubted peoples' abilities to follow such a strict diet. :chuckle:
Obliviously, neither of them has read the :book:

Here's the thang, iffen you goes to a specialist you will be treated by that speeshulty.

Okay, I been :run: eberywheres. But, I must catch you up on the tests. I done two more. #3 and #4 were both below normal. :sigh:
Both tests were done in the late afternoon. #3 was done an hour after eating; a tofu stir fry with kale. Lots of gardening that day in the :sun: and fresh air. #4 was done an hour after eating spaghetti :cheer: again, with lots of outdoor gardening that day. Allergy lebels have been high, with wheezing/asthma issues, sinuses and ears very clogged.
:michafire: welcome back from the beach! :hug:
We had a blistering couple of days in the 90's with high humidity, and now it's calmed right down. Thankfully.
I have a new old car, and she is named Olivia. Liv for short. She is a 2011 Toyota Camry. Right now she is getting a full spa day at Buckley's. Cuz she had some thangs to polish up. I'm thinkin' she will be arriving to her new home today. :thumbs:

Welcome to the Pandora World, Olivia! :wubsigh:
I was about to text or call you...when I gotted time myself. :chuckle:
We gots Georgia family coming to Mom's on Friday & I been helping her get ready.
Yesterday was BIG shopping day cuz Mom never does doof in a small way. :chuckle:
Today is clean my own house day. :chuckle:
This is Dad's oldest sister (& my cousin & hubby). SHe will be 90 in Octember. :wub:
Dad's other sister had just this week been diagnosed with a large tumor in her gut. She is in the early days of finding out what's what. Hasing a colonoscopy on Friday.
Meanwhile...Mom's sister, my Zen Aunt, is on a bus trip to San Antonio ( :hi: :bear: ) & her travelling partner fell yesterday. :faint:
Fell badly & found out she has crumbly bones. :sigh: She has 2 broken wrist/hands & a shoulder that is so bad they are talking shoulder replacement. Her only child (son) took off by car yesterday with the expectation of bringing her (& ZA) back home to a hospital here but the S.A. doc thinks she is unable to travel. :sigh: Zen Aunt is instant caretaker & staying at the hospital (which is an hour from their hotel).
Yeah... a bit busy. :gheart:
And to clear up some of the muddiness, sig...
The angina was intermittant before. With the 'episodes'. And then he saw the nurse in Paris. She added the so-so & the nitro & scheduled the appointment with Jimmy, the interventionalist.
The episodes were triggered by nothing (except maybe doof which you disagree abouts) & happened after eating while sitting in his chair.
The angina was pretty much constant upon doing the least amount of anything. (He also knows now angina went back to at least Dec 2020 when he thunk he was nursery borked).
Jimmy added the razmatazz, as B calls it, & if I recall you axshully said it was a decent move. I will look for the post. :check:
Anyway... as for memos, I did not noes I was apposta document every single symptom here cuz I figgered eerbody was tired of hearing about it.
What I care most about is that he is looking & feeling better than he has in years. :sparkle:
He is really struggling with the diet....moreso than J or I...and I told him last night that I am not going to try & force feed him & that iffin he wants to go back to Pagano-style or even Pritikin or even bacon cheeseburgers (he won't does that) that it is HIS choice & I honor that. It's not the vegan that is so hard. It is the oil-free. And the 6x greens which he is already NOT complying with. He's still never had more than 3 servings in a day & says he just can't...he's so full. And I've stopped naggin cuz he ain't a kid.
:candle: x too many 4th graders & their teachers. :luvcry:

KInda in a rush here :run: BUT um I thinxz that's basically what was stated by the first cardiologist :scratch: and the occlusions are in the same artery ... prolly near :yes:
I'll has a think more carefully later BUT pretty sure eberythang is the same as afores ... literally ... as in no real difference 'cept now you has the details :yes:
Ranolazine is fine just a tad pricey, I'd say use that and drop the nitrates AND yeah basically go with the diet :yes: The main thang to keep in mind is that B and you prolly had numerous partial calcified occlusions due to the puffing. The diet likely helped rotto rooter the arteries clean :cleanse: The problem is there is a point where calcified deposits occur more rapidly than undeposits ... it's a relative rates thang ...

K perchance I fergetted that memo :whistle: ... :ashamed:
BUT it's not that Ranolazine is "bad" or anythang worser than the other :carp: he's taking it's taking it with all those antibiotics :sofa:
It's a liver thang, most people noes the liver detoxifies ffuts BUT with medication them detoxifying enzymes need to be taken into account in order to maintain specific "therapeutic" levelz of the medication. When taking ALL of those thangs at once you need to be careful not to overly :bump: or :buttkick: those medications espeeshully when dealing with someone with :heart: disease AND a cold :horror:
Regardless just keep in mind that Ranolazine is one of those bratty childe type medications ... it don't play well with others :nono: Some herbal supplements, alcohol and of course grapefruit juice can all induce tirades and temper tantrums for no apparent reason :therethere:
Anywho, no you don't need to keep me/us updated :nono: I likes to noes just 'cuz ... well I guess it's just kinda my thang AND it's nuf to mess with you about memos :yes: PLUS I mean kemikillz it's one of them thangs I noes kinda really well :whistle: even iffen I don't noes specific use for treatment I can purty much just look at the molecule and sez ok prolly safe or yeah I'd git off this as soon as possible :angel:
Also yup totally his choice :yes: and double yup yup nasty horrible cold :turkey: diet :horror:
A thang to keep in mind about Dr.E's diet is that it is NOT psientistically proven nor psientistically developed :nono: the only confirming data is from a large group of near death CAD patients ALL not dying or hasing anymore symptoms. In other wurdz he has shown his "protocol" has merits {a LOT of merit :whistle: } ... his individual statements are not necessarily correct :nono:
For the closest to guaranteed results, yes B should follow Dr.E's diet to the letter with little or no divergence from that path :nono: However, iffen his compliance is suboptimal but he is seeing positive results then maybe that's doog enough :dunno:
As mentioned afores doog enough and espeeshully just barely doog enough is a wunderful place to be :bliss:
Anywho that six timez a day greenz thang would put off even a FULL Monte vegetarian :yucky:
"It's not the vegan that is so hard. It is the oil-free."
First NOT vegan that's a pHilosopHy not a diet plan AND vegan diets are far easier :yes: :horn: "Plant Based" or oil free herbivore really :dunno:
Second yer trying to make what you/he is used to eating "oil-free" STOP :thwack: Doof kemystery is not part of yer skill set :therethere: it's hard and takes a long time to perfect each dish ... take yer time and werk on one thang at a time ... meanwhile just make doof you have not tried BUT fits into Dr.E's protocol. Srsly it's not that hard :nono: you even noes what cultures recipes to search through :yes:
Other than that, iffen he wont eat greens that often make him next best options like kale smoothie shots or use that age old medical practice of hiding medicine in treats ... ya noes like to feed animules their medz :yes: Srsly just wad up some cooked kale or spinach in a bite sized rice ball ... a little wasabi and soy and it will goes down fine :thumbs:

:chuckle: So by any chance is Liv a lighter shade of pale with a penchant for spicy doof and a fondness of :brain: s :hysterical: Congarats! :beerme:
"But, I must catch you up on the tests. I done two more. #3 and #4 were both below normal. :sigh: "
It's ok :therethere: you can ease up on the testing for now :yes: You've definitively identified an issue that when resolved will improve yer well being :flowerom:
The allergies and asthma ffuts don't really effect your endothelial levelz of nitric oxide so no worries there :nono: The main issue is you does have low levelz AND that's very common 'cuz NO levelz drop with age. However :bump: ing them up primarily from dietary sources will improve your vascular flow and increased blood flow, lowers BP and :heart: rate but more importantly gits oxygen and nutrients to places that need it faster AND will likely improve your overall well being :om: in about 2 weeks time with doog flow :vibes: autopHagy will :bump: :yes:
One of the main problems with low NO levelz is the reduced blood flow triggers the bodies triage system, one of which is putting off cleanup duties. This leads to cellular :carp: buildup which eventually leads to eberythang slooowing down. AutopHagy is like a cells trash day and iffen you can :bump: yer NO levelz it's lika sprang cleaning after a long hard wynter ... ya noez one that taked about 2 weeks to complete on account of the :carp: buildup :whistle:

It's possible you didn't eat enough :yes: Yer :brain: is clearly being controlled by plant loving :blob: and :mushrooms: which means you are actually getting more bio available organo nitrates than an equivalent omnivore person would :hmm2: SO ... :whatever: ... the three other possibilities are 1) high levels of oxidative stress possibly from RA 2) insufficient anti oxidants in particular ascorbic acid which also helps improve organo nitrate absorption or 3) low levelz of helper molecules ... basically NO is a gas which dissipates in 1 to 3 minutes there are some compounds that help keep it in the blood stream Pomegranates for instance don't really :bump: NO like it is frequently stated BUT it helps keep NO in your system :yes:
Ok I really shoulda asked afores but figured it was no longer a thang on account of veganizing, and asthma and RA and it shoulda been the first thang :buttkick: ed ... but um are you still smoking? :scratch: 'cuz that literally does the opposite of nitric oxide and then some :horror:
"Fell badly & found out she has crumbly bones. :sigh: "
:carp: that's a horrible way to find out :sigh:
:vibes: :om: :sebiv:
It's freaken 80°F here :gaah:
BUT it's not that Ranolazine is "bad" or anythang worser than the other :carp: he's taking it's taking it with all those antibiotics :sofa:
It's a liver thang, most people noes the liver detoxifies ffuts BUT with medication them detoxifying enzymes need to be taken into account in order to maintain specific "therapeutic" levelz of the medication. When taking ALL of those thangs at once you need to be careful not to overly :bump: or :buttkick: those medications espeeshully when dealing with someone with :heart: disease AND a cold :horror:
Regardless just keep in mind that Ranolazine is one of those bratty childe type medications ... it don't play well with others :nono: Some herbal supplements, alcohol and of course grapefruit juice can all induce tirades and temper tantrums for no apparent reason :therethere:
Anywho, no you don't need to keep me/us updated :nono: I likes to noes just 'cuz ... well I guess it's just kinda my thang AND it's nuf to mess with you about memos :yes: PLUS I mean kemikillz it's one of them thangs I noes kinda really well :whistle: even iffen I don't noes specific use for treatment I can purty much just look at the molecule and sez ok prolly safe or yeah I'd git off this as soon as possible :angel:
Also yup totally his choice :yes: and double yup yup nasty horrible cold :turkey: diet :horror:
A thang to keep in mind about Dr.E's diet is that it is NOT psientistically proven nor psientistically developed :nono: the only confirming data is from a large group of near death CAD patients ALL not dying or hasing anymore symptoms. In other wurdz he has shown his "protocol" has merits {a LOT of merit :whistle: } ... his individual statements are not necessarily correct :nono:
For the closest to guaranteed results, yes B should follow Dr.E's diet to the letter with little or no divergence from that path :nono: However, iffen his compliance is suboptimal but he is seeing positive results then maybe that's doog enough :dunno:
As mentioned afores doog enough and espeeshully just barely doog enough is a wunderful place to be :bliss:
Anywho that six timez a day greenz thang would put off even a FULL Monte vegetarian :yucky:
"It's not the vegan that is so hard. It is the oil-free."
First NOT vegan that's a pHilosopHy not a diet plan AND vegan diets are far easier :yes: :horn: "Plant Based" or oil free herbivore really :dunno:
Second yer trying to make what you/he is used to eating "oil-free" STOP :thwack: Doof kemystery is not part of yer skill set :therethere: it's hard and takes a long time to perfect each dish ... take yer time and werk on one thang at a time ... meanwhile just make doof you have not tried BUT fits into Dr.E's protocol. Srsly it's not that hard :nono: you even noes what cultures recipes to search through :yes:
Other than that, iffen he wont eat greens that often make him next best options like kale smoothie shots or use that age old medical practice of hiding medicine in treats ... ya noes like to feed animules their medz :yes: Srsly just wad up some cooked kale or spinach in a bite sized rice ball ... a little wasabi and soy and it will goes down fine :thumbs:
"I have a new old car, and she is named Olivia. Liv for short. "
:chuckle: So by any chance is Liv a lighter shade of pale with a penchant for spicy doof and a fondness of :brain: s :hysterical: Congarats! :beerme:
"But, I must catch you up on the tests. I done two more. #3 and #4 were both below normal. :sigh: "
It's ok :therethere: you can ease up on the testing for now :yes: You've definitively identified an issue that when resolved will improve yer well being :flowerom:
The allergies and asthma ffuts don't really effect your endothelial levelz of nitric oxide so no worries there :nono: The main issue is you does have low levelz AND that's very common 'cuz NO levelz drop with age. However :bump: ing them up primarily from dietary sources will improve your vascular flow and increased blood flow, lowers BP and :heart: rate but more importantly gits oxygen and nutrients to places that need it faster AND will likely improve your overall well being :om: in about 2 weeks time with doog flow :vibes: autopHagy will :bump: :yes:
One of the main problems with low NO levelz is the reduced blood flow triggers the bodies triage system, one of which is putting off cleanup duties. This leads to cellular :carp: buildup which eventually leads to eberythang slooowing down. AutopHagy is like a cells trash day and iffen you can :bump: yer NO levelz it's lika sprang cleaning after a long hard wynter ... ya noez one that taked about 2 weeks to complete on account of the :carp: buildup :whistle:
Now the BIG question why didn't your NO levelz :bump: when you had yer kale? :scratch:

Asiel, I doesn't mind the updates about :b: at all. I mostly just read, and don't comment because I pretty much follow :sigster: on much of what he is sayin' (as much as I don't wanna admit that :laugh: )
Yup, Liv is raised from the dead, and white with very pale buff colored interior. You is a sharp one, Sig. :chuckle:
So. I believe that my places where I'm lacking to bump my NO may have to do with the lack of fruits, and sufficient servings of both fruits and veggies. In other words, I ain't got much of an appetite. I maybe get 2 meals in me, and I'm sated. I think I have to re-think how much I'm eating as much as what.
I'm not that crazy about pomegranates. Except when I was vacaying with Dad, he gave me this little six-pack of Ocean Spray cran-pomegranate juice. I liked it. In fact, I craved it after the first one. I'm thinking that should be in my diet. Also, I'm picking up more fruit. I love fruit, but it can be costly. So, I'm lucky if I have any kind of fruit 2-3 times a week. Since then I've picked up a bag of lemons, and taken to drinking my lemon water during the day. My new goals are to increase fruit so that I'm eating it daily. Particularly citrus, and increase the amount of servings of food in general on a daily basis. For example: A small bowl of raisin bran with a fresh orange on the side for breakfast, a buddha bowl for lunch with deep greens and fruits, and then a small dinner with protein, and whatever veggies. Meanwhile focusing on my lemon water, and the pomegranate juice. As it is now, I'm not doing the breakfast thang at all. :ashamed: and if I do, I don't do a lunch thang. Either way, I shall keep you posted. :thumbs:
Yeah, the little ones :candle: We have to figure out why, not just put a bunch of laws out there. The laws would only be bandaids. :sigh:

Band aids, yes. :yes: And definitely not the root of the problem. But iffin he hadn't been able to buy AR 47s so easily...at 18 nonetheless...he might not have done what he did.
Maybe. :dunno:
So we eat oats every single day now. :b: & :j: make overnight oats in a pint jar with oat milk & frozen fruit. Blueberry, pineapple, mixed...whatever we gots at the time & what I gets on sale at Kroger. :chuckle:
I've learned that I prefer them raw. Like a horse. :chuckle: I just do the same thang as them but in a bowl right before I eats them.
It has been a game changer for all 3 of us.
And no, I'm not trying to make our regular fare oil-free. Though truly, we had no regular fare. :chuckle:
I've always bored of regularity. :rofl: I was trying (failed) to make :tater: chips & :fries: to satiate him.
But I've learned that he does not like quinoa, nutritional yeast, chickpeas, lentils, black beans, definitely not nori or seaweeds, wasabi or sticky rice (I already knowed that). He will make a face & try & pick around it if I add hemp, chia, flax seeds to anything. He tolerates kale but would rather have a nutritionally void iceberg salad over a kick :butt: kale salad any day.
For real, it feels like he is just being a bratty child & disliking the foundations of healthy, whole food, meatlosness (though he's not bratty or snotty about it...much more subtle in his displeasure). Maybe it is the razmatazz. :huh: Though I think it's still just adjustment to a life-altering event & new way of life. I think the learning curve is much steeper when lifestyle changes are seemingly forced upon you rather than chosen.
I told him he may want to do the Pritikin. It allows fish & chicken breast 2-3x a week as well as a small amount of nuts, low-fat dairy & oil. He says no...he's gonna adjust. "Give me time", he says. :chuckle:
Dr Esselstyn's diet is such that the stricter you are the better (& faster) the results. The results being the clearing of arteries. :sparkle:
But yes, I have had a vegan philosophy even when I was eating eggs & dairy. :yes: I haven't bought anything leather in 20 years.
I barely buy makeup but iffin I does it is cruelty free as are all my shampoos, soaps, etc. We have adopted sea turtles (Scallywag :wub: ) & zoo animals (polar bears, pandas & elephants) & yes, taken in a few too many stray cats & dogs over the years.
But you is correct that it is an oil-free whole food plant-based diet. :yes: If it comes from a plant...eat it. If it's made in a plant...don't. :broccoli: And it's really freaking hard to eat in a restaurant. :sigh: Unless it's a vegan restaurant. :nana:
As for this: BUT it's not that Ranolazine is "bad" or anythang worser than the other :carp: he's taking it's taking it with all those antibiotics :sofa:
What? :huh: He took one round of antibiotic to get over the bronchitis before he went to Nashville to see Jimmy.
Before he even started the ranolazine. And that was the only antibiotic he has had in prolly 20 years. Seriously, I don't recall the last time. Oh yes I does.... he was prescribed one before a tooth extraction 5ish years ago but he never took more than a couple days' worth. :chuckle:
Now I'm wanting to know where my N.O. levels are. :woe: :bsl:
Greens (& chewy nutty whole grains) are my favorite doof tho. :yes: I think I could do the 6x a day, but we cain't afford for all of us to eat that much. :rofl:
Maybe. :dunno:

Going ALL IN is the bestest option :yes: BUT there are some corners you can cut which are less important for B :yes: For instance the no refined sugar thang is more for the diabetic :heart: patients 'cuz high blood glucose is a thang that causes loss of elasticity in the vascular bits. To be fair it also reduces the amount of nitric oxide produced but there's a trade off 'cuz Zero blood glucose is also bad AND for non-diabetics regardless of the amount of sugar you eat your blood glucose is typically between 80 and 100 with the normal range being between "70 and 130" though honestly 70 is purty low and 130 kinda high.
The point ... sugar and carbs are "bad" but prolly less bad for B so :buttkick: some of that whole grain pasta and don't shy away from cooking with sugar :nono: Also why not :tater: there's a bazillion thangs you can does with smashed :tater: :liplick: Oh and of course there's a bazillion ways to make faux gravy that's not too terrible :nono:
Then of course there's kale powder ... not as doog as fresh kale :yucky: but much easier to git down :yes: 1/2 teaspoon is apparently a regular serving of kale and that's like two 000 gel caps :angel: Tripple 0's hold ~1ml volume. You can also mix it with beet root powder {aka durt}
Anywho, my point is you haven't even :scratch: ed the surface of ameliorating options :nono: it's too early to hoist the white flag and sez :sigh:
FYI: Srsly git/make some gel caps with beet root powder and or kale powder and just pop them every few hours that's mostly what the greens are doesing anywho :dunno:
One question ... why does you use "oat milk" to make overnight oats: :scratch: Just add the amount of liquid needed to a blender and put in a tablespoon or two of the oats you are going to use, blend and ya don't even need to filter just use as is :yes:
On an aside iffen ya make curries and use a whirly blade coffee grinder to grind the spices, after yer done add a little oatmeal and whirl to clean the grinder. The oat powder can also be added to the curry to thicken it once water is added. It's basically oat milk powder :angel:
On a slight aside you may want to investigate "Allulose" :angel: As part of my faux sugar testing allulose ended up being purty doog ~70% as sweet as sugar BUT research suggests it might also be :heart: and vascular pipping beneficial :woohoo:
I'm still a xylitol fan boy but allulose is purty doog and completely avoids the BIG refined sugar problems :oz:
"So. I believe that my places where I'm lacking to bump my NO may have to do with the lack of fruits, and sufficient servings of both fruits and veggies. In other words, I ain't got much of an appetite. I maybe get 2 meals in me, and I'm sated. I think I have to re-think how much I'm eating as much as what."
Whoa easy there :therethere: ... take a deep breath and step back just a bit ... the durty one and I have mostly been going on and on :blah: :blah: :blah: about NO with regards to Dr.E's diet and B's diet. There's whole HUGE areas we didn't touch on AND the bits we did ... um you was prolly on walkabouts :therethere: But that's OK :yes:
Here are some bullet points :guns:
K I'm sure I'm missing a few thangs BUT that's the gist of thangs :yes:
Most doof doesn't has anythin to :bump: NO levels the BIG :egg: ceptioin being "Leafy Greens" with Kale being King :hail: King Kale.
As it turns out carnivore and omnivore flora and fauna :blob: :mushrooms: use carnitine to produce TriMethylAmine which is processed in the liver to TriMethylAmine Oxide {TMAO}. This molecule strongly inhibits eNOS production resulting in nigh zero elasticity in arteries lasting 4 to 8 hours after consumption. This can be measured in a brachial artery pressure restriction followed by dilation test.
Oh and fish have TMAO as a protein structure reinforcer ... the deeperer (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) has more TMAO :oz:
The above is why vegetarians can eat meat but omnivore and carnivore types cannot :hysterical: Solly that just cracks me up :chuckle:
Some/many oils can also inhibit eNOS production though that appears to be related to inflammatory markers in microvessels. So oils are bad iffen you have inflammatory issues already like say CAD but less of an issue iffen you is healthy.
Sugars and highly processed carbs are bad mostly iffen you is diabetic or prediabetic 'cuz High blood glucose {espeeshully if prolonged} reduces vascular elasticity AND reduces eNOS output.
Now then Pan back to youse :thumb:
Those test strips measure the amount of NO in your system. Nitric oxide is a gas which for the most part only survives in your blood stream for 1 to 3 minutes. When yer ober about 40 Low is normal :yes: it doesn't mean anything "bad" AND you hasn't done anythin wrong :nono: It simply means yer body is not producing as much as it used to :angel:
Since yer testing low the RA is not messing with the test accuracy. NO is also released in inflamed areas BUT it's not showing in the oral test so :thumbs:
Ideally you want to average in the 100 range {I'm going to call it ppm but it's not really clear} or higher. This is more or less an idea of how doog yer blood flow is BUT overtime is also suggestive of a healthy heart and vascular system basically full of youthful elastic arteries 'n ffuts.
Better blood flow means better oxygenation and nutrient deliveries BUT also autophagy and better cleaner cells which also includes more POWER production :electrocute: :flex:
SO ... :whatever: ... here's the thang yer body is in Low NO production mode. To quickly :bump: that up you need to consume Leafy Greens :no: Kale is by far the leader at ~5 times the amount from spinach but arugula, collards, beets, cabbage, ALL are doog for :bump: ing NO :yes:
Thangs like tofu, tempeh random squishes and squashes ... not so much :therethere:
After that there is also the possibility of insufficient antioxidants ... and no not really for the reasons given for eating antioxidants :nono: ALL of the energy to make NO and or does purty much anythin in the body comes from :hail: Mitochondria. The thang is when mitochondria makes ATP oxidation products are produced ... these are thangs that require neutralizing and then cleaning up :oz:
When you :egg: sercise you make a lot of NO which makes your vascular system dilate :thumbs: BUT this also generates a lot of oxidation products which are part of "oxidative stress" :no: When yer body is running properly, once you are finished :egg: sercising it will produce a little more ATP than needed, and a little more NO AND clean eberythang up :thumbs: When thangs are not running properly production cuts off early and the cleaning crew goes home too soon resulting in buildup of oxidative issues ... oxidatve stress and oxidative bio markers and triggers aka the downhill roll :no:
You've no doubt had RA for a while and you've likely depleted a lot of thangs like antioxidants :yes: Don't panic :nono: simply choose yer doof to include more NO precursors and antioxidants, give it some time and check yer NO levels agin :angel:
Worst case scenario, you can try some of the siguie brand supplements :yes: Fer realz them thangs I decided werked fer me aka made me feelz more :flex: or whatever ALL seem to :bump: NO which is great but after 3 daze of not taking them I was just barely low enough to be on the scale :drama:
K I thinxz that covers eberythang :yes: For the most part I actually noes more about nNOS that's the Neuronal NO enzyme :yes: also mtNOS which is the mitochondrial one :oz: I posted a youtube TED talk years ago about a doctor who had MS curing herself basically with Kale ... I thinxz I noes why it werked 8)
The point ... sugar and carbs are "bad" but prolly less bad for B so :buttkick: some of that whole grain pasta and don't shy away from cooking with sugar :nono: Also why not :tater: there's a bazillion thangs you can does with smashed :tater: :liplick: Oh and of course there's a bazillion ways to make faux gravy that's not too terrible :nono:

Here are some bullet points :guns:
- Nitric OXIDE {NO} is a signaling molecule AND the thang most used in hooman vascualr dilation
- NOS {Nitric Oxide Synthase} is found in 4 main flavours with endothelial {aka eNOS} being what we are :blah: ing about
- Your biome effects both NOS production and inhibition
- The Hooman Body generates NO from L-arginine and L-citrulline and most people has plenty :yes:
- The quantites of NO generated decline with age and there is a connection with overall health
- Doof containing organo nititres and/or nitrates can :bump: eNOS production
- Other doof like some oils/meats/sugar can reduce or stop eNOS
- Many diseases are caused by or induce high or low NO production
- Hooman levelz of NO are also dependent on antioxidants AND molecules that :egg: tend, stabelize or prolong blood NO

When yer ober about 40 Low is normal :yes: it doesn't mean anything "bad" AND you hasn't done anythin wrong :nono: It simply means yer body is not producing as much as it used to :angel:
Since yer testing low the RA is not messing with the test accuracy. NO is also released in inflamed areas BUT it's not showing in the oral test so :thumbs:
Ideally you want to average in the 100 range {I'm going to call it ppm but it's not really clear} or higher. This is more or less an idea of how doog yer blood flow is BUT overtime is also suggestive of a healthy heart and vascular system basically full of youthful elastic arteries 'n ffuts.
Better blood flow means better oxygenation and nutrient deliveries BUT also autophagy and better cleaner cells which also includes more POWER production :electrocute: :flex:
SO ... :whatever: ... here's the thang yer body is in Low NO production mode. To quickly :bump: that up you need to consume Leafy Greens :no: Kale is by far the leader at ~5 times the amount from spinach but arugula, collards, beets, cabbage, ALL are doog for :bump: ing NO :yes:
Thangs like tofu, tempeh random squishes and squashes ... not so much :therethere:
After that there is also the possibility of insufficient antioxidants ... and no not really for the reasons given for eating antioxidants :nono: ALL of the energy to make NO and or does purty much anythin in the body comes from :hail: Mitochondria. The thang is when mitochondria makes ATP oxidation products are produced ... these are thangs that require neutralizing and then cleaning up :oz:
When you :egg: sercise you make a lot of NO which makes your vascular system dilate :thumbs: BUT this also generates a lot of oxidation products which are part of "oxidative stress" :no: When yer body is running properly, once you are finished :egg: sercising it will produce a little more ATP than needed, and a little more NO AND clean eberythang up :thumbs: When thangs are not running properly production cuts off early and the cleaning crew goes home too soon resulting in buildup of oxidative issues ... oxidatve stress and oxidative bio markers and triggers aka the downhill roll :no:
You've no doubt had RA for a while and you've likely depleted a lot of thangs like antioxidants :yes: Don't panic :nono: simply choose yer doof to include more NO precursors and antioxidants, give it some time and check yer NO levels agin :angel:
Worst case scenario, you can try some of the siguie brand supplements :yes: Fer realz them thangs I decided werked fer me aka made me feelz more :flex: or whatever ALL seem to :bump: NO which is great but after 3 daze of not taking them I was just barely low enough to be on the scale :drama:
K I thinxz that covers eberythang :yes: For the most part I actually noes more about nNOS that's the Neuronal NO enzyme :yes: also mtNOS which is the mitochondrial one :oz: I posted a youtube TED talk years ago about a doctor who had MS curing herself basically with Kale ... I thinxz I noes why it werked 8)

Peru. :faint: Boy oh boy I was feeling rough yesterday...everything. I told B that yesterday I felt 80 wheras Saturday when we were planting I felt 30. :huh: I told Jack at one point that is sure felt like Mama Earth was unsteady...either we were gonna have a :quake: somewhere or more bad storms or somethin.
:siguie: :clap: :clap: :clap:
That was prolly my favorite lecture to date, teach. :righton:
Thanks, you. :hugs:
Kale powder. :check: I gots beet powder still. :yes:
And oat powder. :check: for oat milk & thinkiening. (typos stay :rofl: )
We use oat milk (found a store that sells quart cartons of Silk for $1) cuz that's what Dr. E uses. :duh:
Happy him up with some sugar. :yes:
But here's the newest issue...
He's losing weight way too rapidly. :faint: He's down to 188. Remembers he's 6'4".
He's losing muscle too cuz the skin on his upper arms is sagging for the first time. He's naturally muscular as well.
Dr E says if that happens & you're too thin (he also says it's rare) then to just eat more carbs. But he insists that he's stuffed. He can't eat any more. Plus he's going to the bathroom about 4x a day so all the vegetable ffuts just goes right through. :faint:
So yesterday I fed him some walnuts. :yes: I think he needs more fat.
And then I made brownies (Forks over Knives brownies with applesauce, ww flour & maple syrup) & put walnuts in them.
I believe that most of Dr E's patients are overweight.
Dang, pretty much every :heart: patient that we saw in Nashville was quite overweight.
So since there's no other doctor to ask (his cardiologists won't know) , What are the best fats to keep him from withering away? Or is there anything else you recommend to fatten him up? :chuckle:
I'm thinking walnuts & avocado. :dunno: His world would be right-side up if he could just has olive or avocado oil on a salad...or even a dressing made with a spot of oil. :chuckle: Or even using whole olives, black &/or green. He loooves olives.
Olives, walnuts & avocados are whole foods & I could do oh so much with them. :yes: In moderation, of course.
I am an excellent moderator. B, notsomuch. :no:
I :wish: I could axe Dr E iffin the NO oil & nuts is all due to artery clogging or iffin some of it is for weight management.
J & I are losing weight nice & slowly. But he truly loses & gains faster than anybody I've ever seen. He's lost over 20 pounds in a month! :faint:
And with alllll this his BP seems to be creeping up & staying around 130-140/70. :gaah:
That's not disturbingly high but it just seems that between meds & diet /& stresslos boj it sure oughta be lower.
Happy Friday Everybody! :gstars:
I'm off to help Mom make a giant pot of soup & clean & prepare for company. :sparkle:

Thanks, but no thanks. You're mean. :rofl:
Not really. But see, I read the Engine 2 book which is written by his son. :yes: It is much more lenient in that it allows avocado, walnuts, olives & small amounts of cold-pressed EV olive oil. :yes:
And I read Dr E's :book: and cook :book: Neither of them contain much of the info you have relayed from watching videos. :nonono: They are quite basic & precise, without the hyperbole that it seems he takes on when he's selling the diet.
And in the book book he does talk about weight loss being an important part of the cholesterol lowering. :yes:
:b: says he's ok. :yes: He really was like those martial arts monkdudes tho for most of his life. From the age of 15-50 or more.
So maybe he's just going back to his true physical being. :wiggle:
He feels good. He looks good. He looks closer to 40 than 61. :yes: We'll focus on that.
It's only really the intermittant elevated bp that shows on his face & makes him look bad & I figure that's from the constantly changing (for good or for :uhoh: ) arterial plaque. I imagine it slowly eroding away but am also aware that erosion that happens too fast can cause the shoreline to collapse. :faint: I growed up near Lake Erie, amemberz? :pie:
He, and his body, tends to do ffuts fast :run: rather than slow.
I am the tortoise...he the hare. :yes:

Yeah, you should prolly stay away from Olive Oils :therethere:

B does not has white coat hypertension. :nonono: His :heart: rate averages around 54-56 at rest & also as of late...even with the elevated BP. We check it every time along with the BP. :yes: In the cath lab his :heart: rate was in the 40s with the sedative. :eek: And he cannot get it up much over 100 even when on the exercise bike going fast as he can for long as he can. THat's why the tachycardia episodes were extra alarming.
THe Engine 2 :book: is by Rip Esselstyn, son. He was (is?) a fireman in Austin, TX.
Anyway, 1 of his fire dudes had a :heart: attack & afterwards the entire firehouse went on a whole foods plant-based diet for 30 day.
Some of them stayed that way for life. Some did not. :chuckle:
What I've re-realized is that they promote a whole food plant-based diet for everyone...for prevention & maintenence.... & general well-being.
But The whole food plant-based no fat diet is the only one for reversal. And with that one, the stricter you are the faster the results.
The regular version which allows avocado, almonds, walnuts, tahini, tofu & other healthy, delicious fats does no harm, they say.
It just doesn't reverse what is already there. :nonono:
Happy Memorial Weekend, Y'all! :gstars:
We gots company still (at Mom's) & I been working my :butt: off to ease the load for Mom. :shera:

:woohoo: Way to miss the point :cheer:
:thwack: Perchance his :heart: rate is even lower iffen you :check: ed it when he in awarez :dunno: or perchance the setting up of the bp cuff and all is enough to :bump: his bp a point or two ... you don't noes unless you :check: :dunno:
Also STOP being so fixated on those past numbers :buttkick: since then his symptom presentation has changed and he's on a lot of medications that change blood flow, pressure and even the :heart: rhythm (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif) ... that's rhythm not tempo.
In any event the point is iffen his normal bp is higher than it was "sumthin" is wrong :hmm2: iffen it's labile hypertension ... meaning just changes easily ... then it's prolly doof or :egg: ternal issues BUT iffen it's just higher than :egg: pected now then it's either meds or sumthin else is up.

In any event the point is iffen his normal bp is higher than it was "sumthin" is wrong :hmm2: iffen it's labile hypertension ... meaning just changes easily ... then it's prolly doof or :egg: ternal issues BUT iffen it's just higher than :egg: pected now then it's either meds or sumthin else is up. I'd bet on meds but it's not going to be easy to figure out especially with the Otezla :roll:
Anywho has nuf at durt momma's and with the guestuses :hi: I gots tourists driving and walking abouts :fist: It's 80's inland and a warm but acceptable 67°F here with :sun: :bliss:

Cute :yes: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/pushing_flag.gif)
I died yesterday. :huh: For realz. Slept til 8:30 :eek: & staggered over to where B was already working with my teacup in hand.
The company wore me out. :splat:
Aunt Katherine is 89....dementia...barely kept alive viz pacemaker. (for realz she says her heart is dead. :huh: )
Her sister, Ann, was told on Friday that the tumor in her abdomen/colon/dunno where exactly is quite large & she is headed to a cancer center today. She barely had enough energy to stand up.
Then Mom...their sister-in-law...cooked, fed, cleaned up & generally waited on them all weekend long. :shera: That's where I came in...supporting Mom except for overnights & breakfasts.
Zen Aunt, Mom's sister, returned from TX with the son of the lady with the 2 broken wrist/hands on Friday & then came straight over to Mom's to help as well. :crazyeyes:
Boy oh boy oh boy am I thankful for a well-working body. :hail: :shera:
We did grill yesterday tho. :wiggle: :tater: onions & black bean burgers. :yes:
But I still feel energetically hungover. :splat:
Oh & yes his BP has always fluctuated greatly. :yes: That is why he'd stopped taking the BP meds prescribed for him as much as 3 years back. :yes: He has what I calls intermittant hypertension. And before I thunk there were no true triggers cuz it wasn't high just during times of stress, physical /mental/emotional but seemingly random. Now I believe it is/was due to changes in the arterial flow due to CAD. He's back to normal now...has been for a few days. He just had a spurt of elevation. Iffin we tell the doc tho he'll just bump up the lisinopril. :yes: :nonono: But he does has it documented.

Dang that's a lot of issues :horror: I sure hope durt momma atleast enjoyed the companies :yes:
Also that crumbly bone thang is why K2 is so important along with vit.D :yes:
As for :b: well tech :nickel: ly that's referred to as Labile Hypertension as in it's easy to set off. Generally it's considered stress related like white coat hypertension and not treated with bp meds :nono: though prolly anxiety medications :dunno:
Anywho yer call :dunno: but progressing CAD doesn't werk like that :nono: In fact weight loss and nitric oxide generating diets and meds shoulda taken thangs the other way :yes:
Meteor storm was a bust :sigh:
Though I think I caught a North-South satellite :yes:
:yawn: :coffee:

Busted meteors? :dangjustdang:
Don't they usually last a few days...with a small peak window?
He keeps insisting he's fine tho I keep saying, like you, that beween the diets & meds you oughta be facing a too low BP.
His cardio appointment got pushed back to 7/7. The doc comes to Paris the first Thursday of every month. But since he's already seen the NP in Paris & Jimmy in Nashville, there's no urgency. Plus it gives us more time to get him righter. :chuckle:
Man oh man the energies were tense yesterday...tho maybe it's the heat. We been back in the 89 feels like 99 range. Full-blown summer. :sigh:
:spring: is so dang fleeting.

"Busted meteors? :dangjustdang:

:boobs: le :sigh:
It's a new and speeshul meteor shower called the tau Herculides , it has to does with the way a specific comet partially borked up. The problem is the pieces need to be moobing atleast 220mph afores hitting the atmosphere in order to be bright enough to observe. These bits 'n pieces were :egg: pected to fall in a 30 minute window but plus or minus 90 minutes for the start time so there was a 3hour watch time.
There were some meteors just not bright enough to see through my ocean haze :drama:
I did git an un :egg: pected North South satellite though :yes: It looked like a fireball streak when I reviewed the footage at 16x :sigh:
"He keeps insisting he's fine tho I keep saying, like you, that beween the diets & meds you oughta be facing a too low BP."
That's what happens when people base ffuts on qualitative :carp: like feelingz instead of doog solid quantitative evidence :therethere:
:logic:
Iffen he feelz fine you're not gonna argue him into not feelin doog so it's his choice and fine is lots better than :carp: :thumbs:
I still find it hard to beleeb that the :heart: doc was ok with B taking Otezla with lisinopril :roll: AND that his bp is still occasionally high :sofa:
Anywho 7/7 :woe: I was really hoping he'd start coming off some of them meds :sigh:
Don't fergets to :check: his SpO22 levelz periodically :yes: one of the side effects of soso is increased methemoglobin production. It's normal to has a few percent {1%-2% is standard} and up to 10% generally does not has any symptoms BUT it reduces the oxygen carrying capacity so :check: SpOO levelz :yes:
Oh and yes methemoglobin is a thang that greens and vegitation eating does :horror:

So is ocean haze a fancy way of saying pollution? :pie:
It's 70, cloudy with expected showers & excellent air quality according to accuweather. :chuckle: Feels like :cloud9:
Yesterday J & I went on our formerly regular grocery/household shopping expedition. :wig: :gle:
To Tommy's, our favorite Chinese Restaurant, then to Martin Walmart real quick-like, then to Ruler Foods.
We gotted lots of good ffuts & good deals but... it was a :magic: al day.
Everyone everywhere was quite talkative but moreso than that everyone was quite polite & helpful, respectful & even encouraging to everyone else. :angel: It was life the way I think it's appposta work. :sparkle: I told B that "the angels were out in full force" yesterday & we were part of the brigade,
And thing is.... it was unbearably hot yesterday. At Walmart Lucille's thermometer said 111 & I'm sure that's what it felt like.
But peoples were rising above & stepping out of any misery.
In comparison, on Tuesday afternoon the 3 of us ran to Paris Lowe's for mulch & to get our fiddy cents off a gallon gas at Kroger before the month ended. Peoples at Lowe's were visibly heated, inside & out. Short-tempered, rude, impatient. Completely different than yesterday's hot folk.
Then we get home, make super low fat :taco: ffutses, finally turn on the TV close to 7 & see that there had just been another mass shooting, this time in a hospital. :luvcry: 4 dead last I heard. :candle:
What a :crazy: whirld.

"So is ocean haze a fancy way of saying pollution? :pie: "
Nope :nono: the ocean temp is nearly always lower than the land temp and the always high humidity and plentiful nucleating sites {salt mist} means most times :cloud: s and fog are never far away :nono:
We've been without a mask mandate since mid Feb but there are still about 30% of people wearing masks and some places like the asian markets where they still require you to wear masks. Oh and hopsickles too or atleast I'm purty sure they does :scratch:
Anywho, people here are all pretty laid back and being kind and courteous :yes: BUT then we don't get tanassi HECK temperaturez until August :whistle:
Yeah the mass :guns: thang is sad :candle: :sigh: BUT not really un :egg: pected :nono: in fact it's very :egg: pected 'cuz of the time, the turbulent newses and all the pent up anger and frustration from the last couple of years :sofa:
Iffen you is going "oil free" next time yer at yer asian market look for Furikake and or Togarashi ... these are speeshul "spice blends" ... furikake tends to always has powdered nori and is generally sweet or savory while togarashi is the Japanese name for Capsicum so tends to the spicy peppery side of thangs.
In addition to siguie brand :magic: Dust I always keep furikake and shimichi togarashi on hand :yes: they is kinda like salt and pepper for asian dishes ranging from plain white rice to omelettes and noodle soups :yes:

Sweet! I just added a notepad to my phone so I can have it for whenever we go. We are essentially oil-free.
We're all getting restlos for a Memphis trip. Jacki wants to go to the zoo. And the Market would be doable on the way home.
Already talked about packing a lunch for the zoo :chuckle: Nashville has soooo many new vegan/whole food plant-based/rawfood/vegetarian/smoothie bar/etc cafes. :yes: So very many. Memphis is still pretty heavily barbecued & fried. :rofl:
The population :boom: & influx of Californians in particular, is drastically changing Nashville. :cheer:
Omg, I made a :tater: salad yesterday that is amazing. :drool: The 'mayo' is silken tofu/garlic/yellow & dijon mustards/lemon juice & salt & peeper. I always add celery seed, too, cuz we likes it like that. :yes: We think we're gonna be able to make it through the curve now. :chuckle: It's fun finding more & more delicious ffutses to make. And like Dr. E says, you can eat as much as you want without guilt or calorie counting (I've never done that anyway).
Energywise....today feels much lighter. :flowerom: But I agree that there is a lot of pent up frustration & anger out there.
But really there is no pandemic frustration here (other than being mad at Biden for perpetuating a hoax) cuz we've never had any restrictions anyway...other than some lame ffuts in the very very beginning. They still really believe it has been overblown.
They getting all fired up (pun intended) now cuz they are :uhoh: that they're gonna lose their guns. And the rising prices on everything is making people :uhoh: as well.
Ohio passed a law on Wednesday that allows teachers & school staff to carry guns with minimal training. :sigh:
Many many teachers are livid. Feeling like more is being piled on them. I guess school districts are allowed to make their own decisions, but statewide it is now legal. :crazyeyes:

I know a lotta teachers who are damaged hoomans as well, :sigh:
I just don't believe in fighting fire with fire. Or rather fear with fear.
:love: is all that works, but first ya gotta break through the fear.
Most gun carryers I know do so out of fear. I'm sure some do so for altruistic reasons, but most are about protecting themselves.
I do support raising the minimum age on assault weapons....or hasing to has a co-signer who would share in responsibility. :yes:

"all fine here ... missing the heat though"
Ooooh that's right you is in Germanasia does you noes a company called Klarstein ? :popcorn:
They makes a bunch of thangs BUT one in particular are "Carbon Crystal Heating Panels" :yes: They is also part of the Berlin Brands Groups so presumably are in Germanasia too :oz:
Take a look at their Wall and Ceiling panels (https://www.klarstein.co.uk/Heaters/Infrared-Heaters/Wall-Ceiling-Infrared-Heaters/) ... espeeshully the Wonderwall ffuts :yes:
Anywho this one the Wonderwall Air 96 (https://www.klarstein.co.uk/Heaters/Infrared-Heaters/Wall-Ceiling-Infrared-Heaters/Wonderwall-Air-96-Infrared-Heater-120x81cm-960W-Wall-Installation-Remote-Control-120-x-81-cm.html) would be perfect for ya :thumbs:
These thangs produce "radiant" heat like those glowing red parabolic infrared heaters ... only these don't git glowy red hot :nono: Ideally they is placed on the ceiling and radiate heat down like the :sun: and most people say it feelz like the sun is shinning on you hence the thread drift :oz:
Anywho, Herschel and Klarstein have the high end European models I has one of the cheaper knockoff glass versions 450W models and it is inerestin :yes: The ability to feel the warmz drops off quick and mine only feelz radiant from 1 metre or less BUT apparently it does warm objects radiantly 3m away so higher wattage for more :sun: feelz :angel:
Currently I'm trying to git two non-glass ones {possibly 4}. Three 450W of these would be perfect downstairs and would mean siguie manor would be completely heated with :electrocute: ya noes without me using dangerous space heaters :uhoh: and ya noes iffen I eber actuaclly needed heat :sigh:
Oh and iffen I gotted 2 :egg: tra I'd put them on stands and make a hooman sized panini press :chuckle: ... well sorta ... dad is like you and likes the warmz, in the wynter I thunked hasing two of these thangs about a meter or two apart aimed at each other would make a nice and toasty area in the middle ... ya noes with that :sun: like feelz :oz:
"Heck, I don't blame period."

The fear argument is just silly :dunno: because it forcibly groups all of the nuances and variables that go into a person making a decision into one of the 6 primary/primal emotions AND it assumes all decisions are made based on emotions :wall:

And a :buttkick: for hubby :fist:
"all fine here ... missing the heat though"
Ooooh that's right you is in Germanasia does you noes a company called Klarstein ? :popcorn:
They makes a bunch of thangs BUT one in particular are "Carbon Crystal Heating Panels" :yes: They is also part of the Berlin Brands Groups so presumably are in Germanasia too :oz:
Take a look at their Wall and Ceiling panels (https://www.klarstein.co.uk/Heaters/Infrared-Heaters/Wall-Ceiling-Infrared-Heaters/) ... espeeshully the Wonderwall ffuts :yes:
Anywho this one the Wonderwall Air 96 (https://www.klarstein.co.uk/Heaters/Infrared-Heaters/Wall-Ceiling-Infrared-Heaters/Wonderwall-Air-96-Infrared-Heater-120x81cm-960W-Wall-Installation-Remote-Control-120-x-81-cm.html) would be perfect for ya :thumbs:
These thangs produce "radiant" heat like those glowing red parabolic infrared heaters ... only these don't git glowy red hot :nono: Ideally they is placed on the ceiling and radiate heat down like the :sun: and most people say it feelz like the sun is shinning on you hence the thread drift :oz:
Anywho, Herschel and Klarstein have the high end European models I has one of the cheaper knockoff glass versions 450W models and it is inerestin :yes: The ability to feel the warmz drops off quick and mine only feelz radiant from 1 metre or less BUT apparently it does warm objects radiantly 3m away so higher wattage for more :sun: feelz :angel:
Currently I'm trying to git two non-glass ones {possibly 4}. Three 450W of these would be perfect downstairs and would mean siguie manor would be completely heated with :electrocute: ya noes without me using dangerous space heaters :uhoh: and ya noes iffen I eber actuaclly needed heat :sigh:
Oh and iffen I gotted 2 :egg: tra I'd put them on stands and make a hooman sized panini press :chuckle: ... well sorta ... dad is like you and likes the warmz, in the wynter I thunked hasing two of these thangs about a meter or two apart aimed at each other would make a nice and toasty area in the middle ... ya noes with that :sun: like feelz :oz:
"Heck, I don't blame period."

K Oblate papers and edible films. They are easier to use than capsules and the ffuts is made so when they git wet they become slick and easy to swallow.
Below is a youtube for "Blate Papes" which is one american version AND to be fair they are prolly doog and easier to use than the ones I gotted BUT they are more :egg: pensive. Anywho the quantities these things hold are ideal for 1 to 3 grams ... though I think the sweet spot is 1 to 2 grams.
Best 3 Ways How To Use Blate Papes Edible Film Squares and Pouches (https://youtu.be/CGRkR-aOldo)
Blate Papes is a doog brand and this is the Amazon line up ... Amazon Link (https://amzn.to/38QousZ)
They seem to be mostly squares or pouches and while you can of course make your own pouches quite easily many people prefer them. The prices range from 17 cents per pouch :faint: to 7 cents per paper square.
Alternatively I got these two ... also from Amazon ...
Both werk fine :yes: one has english instructions the other does not and both are just under 4 cents per sheet.
Be sure and :check: that the papers are :tater: papers and not rice or other starch, they are either much more difficult to use or will not work :nono:
I also gotted Broccoli and Kale Sprout Powder Mix, 4 Ounces - Kosher, Raw, Pure, Vegan, Bulk, Rich in Sulforaphane, Sirtfood (https://amzn.to/3aqCUQS) <= Amazon Link
I have a pound of powdered kale and 1 to 2g easily fits in these edible films ... so that's one dose greens :thumbs: BUT one of the thangs I was looking into is broccoli sprouts for isothiocyanate like Sulforaphane. The powder is really nasty :yucky: and srsly pricey :faint: Anywho hasing kale with a Sulforaphane source helps by :bump: ing Myrosinase which is the enzyme needed with the Sulforaphane to make it healthful. Anywho, the price was decent and it's a better test for the oblate edible films so I gotted that too :angel:
AND yup the edible films completely mask the :pukeface: :broccoli: powder flavour :woohoo:
So my guess is a Greens smoothie say in the morning and afternoon plus a couple of DIY oblate spHeroid (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) and that greens 6X per day thang isn't really a thang no morez :nono:
Srsly a handful of kale, a handful of spinach, a carrot or two, perchance an apple or berries then enough juice {I likes POM nd Guave or Mango} to mix and no problemo :nono: Mix it up with celery, parsley, chard, a :tomato: and it's not horrible :nono:

There is no way in tarnation that :b: is gonna drink a greens smoothie. :no:
I would. :wiggle:
And I'm fairly certain he won't swallow a 'blate'. :chuckle: He is like a granny when it comes to taking pills.
One slowly at a time...even teeny pills. Pill in back of throat, head back, grimace on face. :gaah:
I'd just swallow the whole handful at once & be done. :rofl: But he says he can't so he can't. :chuckle:
As for emotions... :nonono: you're wrong. :yes: ALL emotions are a derivative of Love :love: or Fear :scared:
That's all there is. It's really quite simple. But what most don't realize is that it's within themselves to choose.
Simple. :namaste:

"There is no way in tarnation that :b: is gonna drink a greens smoothie. :no: "
No problem :nono: his choice but 1 portion of kale and or spinach barely alters the taste of ffuts like POM or Pineapple based smoothies :oz:
"And I'm fairly certain he won't swallow a 'blate'. :chuckle: He is like a granny when it comes to taking pills."
Agin no problem :nono: it's his choice but they are surprisingly easy to swallow :yes: I was thinking about printing a little rig, so I could pack the contents down and wrap it small and tight. However, even 3g of ffuts is purty easy to wrap and swallow and that's the equivalent of ~10 of my 00 gel caps :oz:
The oblate edible films were also an idea for Pan, she has volume eating issues and one oblate spHeroid is roughly the size of a half teaspoon and only takes a minute or two to make and swallow.
In any event, for most peoplez hasing difficulty getting those 6x greens I'd say make two of them smoothies and any missing portion go with an oblate :yes:
But honestly it's not really that hard :nono: one smoothie in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening is not a problem. Greens with dinger and lunch are easy so it's just 2 doses remaining. Making either 1 or both an oblate is fine BUT you can also do spicy asparagus or garlic napa cabbage sauteed in soy sauce or spinach sushi, or thick cut pickled beets fer snackaging.
Anywho them 6x is really only for the cardiac challenged. Pan on the other hand has oddly low NO levelz and increased vascular flow would undoubtedly benefit her RA especially during the :shiver: months :santa: My guess is she would prolly need 2 oblates a day or equivalent greens. Like one at dinger and the other in the morning :yes: Kale gives the biggest and longest lasting :bump: SO ... :whatever: ... powdered kale and a pack of edible wafer film :thumbs: and that would be an easy :peas: y fix :oz:
Anywho last night I made a siguie brand :burger: 'n spicy :fries: with garlic aioli ALL cooked/created using corn oil 'cuz that's one oil shown to "attenuate" endothelial nitric oxide formation. It may be true but either siguie brand supplements PLUS all of the oblates I've been playing with overwhelmed or attenuated the attenuation 'cuz the NO test strips look purty muches the same :sigh:
I'm not saying that there is no attenuation BUT I suspect attenuation is a minor effect, the main reason :heart: patients should avoid oil is prolly related to inflammation and oxidative stress factors :yes: That and I'd bet NO from leafy greens offset any attenuation :yes:
"As for emotions... :nonono: you're wrong. :yes: ALL emotions are a derivative of Love :love: or Fear :scared: "

Purty sure you're still on a different wavelength. Not wrong, as there really is no right or wrong at the Source. :pie:
And you're preachin to the preacher on the "not really that hard" ffuts. That's what I says. He disagrees. :yes:
Everybody's different. :yes:
BUt last night I made the bestest dinger since we started this diet. :drool:
It was a hybrid lasagna, fron 2 different recipes plus my own tweakage. :yes:
So simple. So very doog.
The Esselstyn cook :book: is really not that doog :nonono: But I was gonna make the lasagna they say everybody raves about :yes:
It has sweet potato 'sauce', zuke, squash, onion, mushroom & napa cabbage :huh:
So I :buttkick: ed the sweet potato (after having cooked them :chuckle: guess what's in tonight's dinger? :rofl: ) and ixnayed the napa cabbage.
I precooked garlic, onion, yellow squash, zucchini, :mushrooms: and a bag of frozed spinach.
Then I maded a tofu ricotta with 1 block silken, 1 block regular, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast & lemon juice (I think that's all :huh: )
For the sauce I used 2 jars of Kroger basil & added a large can of crushed :tomato: plus more seasoning.
Then for the first time ever I used uncooked whole wheat noodles.
Putting down a 1/4 in layer of sauce, then dry noodles, the tofu ricotta, more sauce, noodles, vegetables that I strained with slotted spoon but did not squeeze, noodles, more tofu ricotta, sauce, sliced roma :tomato: & nooch.
It. Is. Amazing. Very saucy but yet when sliced it retains it's shape. :huh: The noodles, cooked in the sauce are surprisingly doog.
I figure iffin I does the sauce & tofu ricotta then I can simply use whatever vegetables & greens I gots on hand.
The tofu ricotta came from here: https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-baked-stuffed/spinach-lasagna/
but I figure my sauciness & vegetables are betterer. :yes: I also used a BIG pan.... I dunno the size but big as a baking sheet.
The other thing I'm noticing is how much easier cleanup is when you don't use any oils at all. :happydance:
Time to paint the kitchen.
Then for the first time ever I use uncooked whole wheat lasagna noodles &

"BUt last night I made the bestest dinger since we started this diet. :drool: "
Yer :mushrooms: overlords must be pleased :horror:
Yeah without any oil or even real :cheese: there's no point pre-cooking noodles :nono: espeeshully whole wheat :yucky: pasta which goes soft any way :roll:
FYI: "real pasta" is best made from semolina which is NOT the same as AP flour :nono: it's a coarsely ground Durum wheat middling.
Healthwise it's above AP and close but below whole wheat BUT it's soooo much betterer :yes: AND of course I has a pasta roller and make my own 8)
As for healthy lasagna you might want to try laying down layers of veggies cut into planks instead of noodles. Iffen you dehydrate them and then use them like dry noodles they cook up about the same as whole wheat noodles BUT store better after cooking :oz:
Anywho glad you are adapting to yer new masters diet :thumbs:
"The other thing I'm noticing is how much easier cleanup is when you don't use any oils at all. :happydance: "
Without oil there's essentially no need for surfactants during wash up :nono: 'cuz soap really wont does anything to proteins or carbs :nono:

Ooooh yeah :happydance:
A :wheee: bit jealous :hmm: BUT so cool :yesss:
The glass, mirror and marbly ones have mass that "softens" the cycles. Instead of instant ON then OFF like a light bulb the mass keeps the heat going a little after it turns off and slows the ramp up when on. This makes choosing an intermediate temperature easier :thumbs:

BUT so cool that you has them :thumbs: Does they werk well? Does they actually "save" monies? :share:
Anywho I noes most people judge a heater on how it warms a room BUT for the most part that's just a function of kW needed to heat a room and how fast a heater pumps out heat AND what a person feelz when "comfortable". I'm purty sure radiant heaters atleast make people feelz comfy with less energy required than convection BUT only when the radiant panels are sufficiently high wattage to does that but still they is sooo cool :happydance:

K so we had what was called radiant heat in an Ohio house when I was a kid. Supposedly it was the new best thing... circa 1972.
But it was invisible...ie under the drywall. And it was freaking cold in that house in Ohio winters. :shiver:
It was really warm near the ceiling. And no, ceiling fans weren't really a thing yet either cuz that woulda helped a LOT.
And here we has stoopy overhead ductwork & vents cuz the man selling it to us convinced us that it was the best way to go iffin you had pets. :huh: Same thang...Its always warmer standing up :chuckle: and we has ceiling fans in every room except the kitchen & bathrooms. (We also has space heaters :p )
Heat rises. Like this ===> :michafire: Why start it at the top? :huh:
Um, :sigster: ...iffin I made veggie noodles then it would not work the same way to fill up my giant toothpick! :woe:
Yesterday I maded him a carrot cake to help bulk him up. :yes: It used grinded oats for flour, dates, raisins, walnuts (yes, a few :p ) and obliviously carrots. :rofl: He loved it. :yes: No processed sugar of any kind...you first soak raisins & dates with vanilla & plant milk...then blend it up.
I am thinking he might does a vegan (yeah, :whatever: , it's a descriptive word) protein powder. :dunno:
Dr Esselstyn does say iffin you're losing too much weight.... "If you are losing too much weight, EAT MORE calories. Increase portion size. Eat snacks. Eat more whole grains and beans.".
And as for tofu pups.... the Esselstyn's 'hot dog' is a roasted carrot on a bun! :woe: :bsl:
I mean, seriously, B would hafta eat 6 of those to feel satisfied but he could not possibly eat 6 cuz he's really not a volume eater. :nonono:
:horn: Energy alert!! This week is a somethin alright... :yes: :wtf: :lalala: :flowerom:
We are going to Memphis on Friday. :elfparty:
Zoo, hopefully, but iffin it :rain: (scattered :rain: all week long) our Plan B is the Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel. :yes:
Plan C, iffin they are full (only a certain # ppl allowed in at once) plan C is Ikea. :rofl: Lots of other non-rain options, but notasmany indoor ffutses.
:horn: :horn: MICHA!!! You see any of that crazy hail near you? Or flooding rains or :blowme: ??

I was just studyin radars & ffutses cuz Friday plans may change due to weather. :crazyeyes:
:sig: What's that swirl off your coast & to the north? Looks like a loosely wound hurrycane. :chuckle:
And there's more rain over your ocean....west of you.
Is it time for your Pineapple Express? :umbrella:

"K so we had what was called radiant heat in an Ohio house when I was a kid. Supposedly it was the new best thing... circa 1972.
But it was invisible...ie under the drywall. And it was freaking cold in that house in Ohio winters. :shiver:
It was really warm near the ceiling. And no, ceiling fans weren't really a thing yet either cuz that woulda helped a LOT. "
Well 'tweren't a "radiant" panel :nono: prolly just a heating panel ... they've been around since fereber :yes: they tend to use Nichrome or Kanthal wire which are just types of wire that heat to a specific temperature when current is applied. They is fine and are just basic convection heating systems that are built in and do not require ducting :nono:
"Heat rises. Like this ===> :michafire: Why start it at the top? :huh: "
Like is soooo often the case you is missing the point :thwack: and focussing on the wrong thang :buttkick:
:hello: "carbon crystal" ok I'm mostly leaving out the tech part 'cuz it's um tech :nickel: :whistle: Here's the thang ... there's metal resistance based heaters, ceramic heaters, carbon fiber resistance heaters, GrapHene heaters AND I'm really only talking about the GrapHene ones. They ALL produce "heat" as a final product but think of the GrapHene ones as light bulbs 'cuz they produce FarInfrared Light.
Amembers back when I gotted this thang from Amazon ... Electric Heating Pad for Back Pain, Heating Pads with Innovative Graphene Heating Films, for Lower Back, Menstrual, Cramps, Pain Relief - Large size 12*24inches (https://amzn.to/395ByuV) <= Amazon Link
K "ideally" you want GrapHene heating elements NOT "carbon heaters" but GrapHene is pricey so the next best economically viable alternative is "carbon crystal" but you need to :check: or atleast git a doog brand.
Iffen you git the right thang what you git is more Light Generator than heat producer. THIS is why you put it on the ceiling, so it shines down like the :sun: heating whatever the light hits :angel:
Also heating panels in general are fine :dunno: but unless you noes what you is doesing heating a room can be tricky :yes:
Gotta run :bye: :run:
Back :wave:
As for my weather ... :umbrella: :scratch:
Summer here means no :rain: until October at the earliest. The nearest thang I can see resembling a hurrycane :spiral: is a weak low pressure trough off the coast of Oregon. Also Pineapple :egg: press is a weather stream coming from Hawaii :hula:
I thinxz you :rbrain: ed yer meteorillogical skillz :therethere:
There's nuthin headed my ways other than Heat, more HEAT and a dash of humid and HOT :no:

B is so worried bout me but I said I am surprised I hadn't flared up way before now what with all that's been going on around here for um...2+ years. :rofl:
I has an herbal thang that axshully works which contains bugleweed, motherwort, cactus & lemon balm. :yes:
And I has over 100 lemon balm plants growing in the yard. :yes: The downside of the herbal thang is that the effects only last about 3 hours.
Hot, hot, hot. The :heat: is coming here next week. :yes: Mid-90s.
I saw where Phoenix was apposta hit 115. :faint: :heat: Funny thing there's not much difference in feel between say 92 & 102. Not like the difference between 70 & 80. Same as real cold... 0 & -10 are both :shiver: But now 40 & 30 are worlds apart. :huh:
Strange that.
So the zoo may be postponed due to :rain:
Hard to find a suitable day for trekking all over now that summer is here... yeah, yeah, solstice :whatever: It's summer in Tanasi. :yes: Too bad we don't live closer where we could just :run: spur of the moment like. :yes:

:hi: :michafire: :vibes: :sun: :sebiv:
So sig...I don't axshully recall all the whats & whatnots but I does know I swallowed the radioactive pill :scared: & went back the next day for testing. I spent 2 days at Vanderbilt & saw an endocrinologist who diagnosed Graves.
I took methamizole for about 6 months then decided to manage it through diet, yoga & meditation. :flowerom:
It IS manageable. But since all the :heart: ffuts i've been neglecting myself in order to 'get it all done'. No yoga in months :nonono: Not enough 'quiet time' cuz I been living in a Zanna-world of constant motion.
Myself said "No more". :nonono: "And...you take care of you now."
I read all the dysbiosis ffuts & have none of the gut symptoms. I feel better in that regard than I have in years. :yes:
I never had words for it but I've known since the 90's that what I eat is more directly related to how I feel than the average bear. :yes: And I've always thrived on vegetables and a bit of grains. :broccoli:
That interactive museum place looks awesome! :yes: There was a Science Museum in Louisville much like that. We had season passes. :righton:
I texted Pandora yesterday. :yes: Haven't heard back yet. :sigh: :hearts:
We gonna go to Murray today. :elfparty: So :b: can tote the groceries & ffutses. :yes:

You can has our :sun: :yes: and HEAT ADVISORY :no: Dang it's hot out there 91°F and rising :frantic:
Today is a doog cold room day :yes:
"... I does know I swallowed the radioactive pill :scared: ..."
K so that's Grave's based on Iodine "uptake" not antibodies :nono: Oh and didja git imaged? Basically looking at the uptake pattern on the thyroid to :check: for nodule issues. :popcorn:
Unless they eventually gotted a positive result for a thyroid antibody that's a ... mostly ... Graves Disease diagnosis. Sometimes the antibodies are slow to show up.
Basically it's treated as Graves 'cuz that's how you treat a Hyperthyroid but there's anywhere from 5% to 20% possibility of NOT Graves but other inductive disease or ailment :hmm2:
"I read all the dysbiosis ffuts & have none of the gut symptoms. I feel better in that regard than I have in years. :yes: "
Huh :huh: First doog boj missing the point :thumbs: Second :huh: didja notice that the majority of symptoms are the same as Graves Disease? :whistle:
Dysbiosis does not necessarily has "symptoms" BUT you've already said you did :thwack:
Any major change to ones diet by necessity involves a change to the microbiota :blob: :mushrooms: Dr.E's diet is a HUGE change to anyone other than maybe a :rabbit:
One notable symptom is weight loss ... just because you consider it a "feature" and not a problem doesn't change the fact it's a symptom :buttkick:
OK srsly other than tremors, racing :heart: or bug eyes what makes you think yer Graves is flaring up? 'cuz the symptoms are the same as dysbiosis :scratch:
Oh and the point ... which you completely missed ... you changed yer doof choices and by default the microbiota :blob: and :mushrooms: ... so now yer fungal and bacterial overlords are in charge of yer :brain: and both liver and kidneys must function differently SO ... :whatever: ... ALL of these thangs are communicating differently with yer thyroid. Yer memo skillz suck so who noes what that poor thyroid is being telled :sofa:
In short perchance yer Graves Disease is just a thyroid trying to figure out what's going on :oz:
Srsly though dysbiosis was mostly me playing 'cuz it's really just the name describing what you and B did it's not candida or one of the gut bacteria overgrowth issues :nono: it "can" has symptoms but mostly what you git from changing diets :dunno:

First...it's not a tea but a tincture. :yes:
Second...these are the listed dysbiosis symptoms:
bad breath (halitosis)
upset stomach
nausea
constipation
diarrhea
difficulty urinating
vaginal or rectal itching
bloating
chest pain
rash or redness
fatigue
having trouble thinking or concentrating
anxiety
depression
The only ones that go with Graves are anxiety, having trouble thinking or concentrating & chest pain. The latter being what sent me to a doctor to start with.
And yes, they did imaging. MRI kinda imaging. :p
When flaring up the first thing I notice is that I become more reactive...especially when B is driving. :chuckle: I am not an anxious, back seat driver when I am lamron. :rofl:
Then...the hot flashes/flushes & aversion to heat. :heat:
Then the hyperactivity (I get lots done for awhile :run: )
Along with that comes sleeplosness cuz I "wrestle with the covers & cats all night long". :chuckle:
Dry eyes & blurry vision.
Then the tachycardia.
And then the exhaustion sets in, with progressive muscle aches, pains, weakness.
And iffin it goes as far as the first time the axshual wasting of muscles begins. :yes:
And the strange pain that radiates FROM the chest & slowly spreads down both arms. Only at night, lying down.
Those are Graves syptoms. :yes: They are not all commonly listed but iffin you go to a Graves forum you will see them all documented by real peoples.
And the order of appearance can vary, as can the which symptoms this time, but I have experienced this many times over now since I chose to manage it on my own. It's been almost 5 years now. :faint:
As for the dyspiosis.... I didn't miss no points. :buttkick: We all went through that stage a month or more ago.
It's been more than 2 months since we became :rabbit: s. :faint:
I am feeling much much better. :yes: My resting heartrate never gotted above 80 & I have still been able to do 10 deep squats without holding on. :chuckle: Those are my diagnostic measurements. :yes:
I just gotted un :balance: ed & yes, I believe that the diet tilted me over just a bit. :gle:
I had axshully wondered that before you posted the dys futts. :hysterical:
But it's way more fun taking the scenic route to concensus.
:bsl:
Oh yea...still got that 'somethin's coming' feeling. :yes: :earthheart:
Yesterday I saw 2 license plates in the same parking lot with 911 as the numbers. Our plates have 3 or 4 digit numbers and 3 or 4 digits letters. :dunno:
Yes, heat wave coming... :sun: :heat: :onoes: :aaahhh:
Second...these are the listed dysbiosis symptoms:
bad breath (halitosis)
upset stomach
nausea
constipation
diarrhea
difficulty urinating
vaginal or rectal itching
bloating
chest pain
rash or redness
fatigue
having trouble thinking or concentrating
anxiety
depression
The only ones that go with Graves are anxiety, having trouble thinking or concentrating & chest pain. The latter being what sent me to a doctor to start with.
And yes, they did imaging. MRI kinda imaging. :p
When flaring up the first thing I notice is that I become more reactive...especially when B is driving. :chuckle: I am not an anxious, back seat driver when I am lamron. :rofl:
Then...the hot flashes/flushes & aversion to heat. :heat:
Then the hyperactivity (I get lots done for awhile :run: )
Along with that comes sleeplosness cuz I "wrestle with the covers & cats all night long". :chuckle:
Dry eyes & blurry vision.
Then the tachycardia.
And then the exhaustion sets in, with progressive muscle aches, pains, weakness.
And iffin it goes as far as the first time the axshual wasting of muscles begins. :yes:
And the strange pain that radiates FROM the chest & slowly spreads down both arms. Only at night, lying down.
Those are Graves syptoms. :yes: They are not all commonly listed but iffin you go to a Graves forum you will see them all documented by real peoples.
And the order of appearance can vary, as can the which symptoms this time, but I have experienced this many times over now since I chose to manage it on my own. It's been almost 5 years now. :faint:
As for the dyspiosis.... I didn't miss no points. :buttkick: We all went through that stage a month or more ago.
It's been more than 2 months since we became :rabbit: s. :faint:
I am feeling much much better. :yes: My resting heartrate never gotted above 80 & I have still been able to do 10 deep squats without holding on. :chuckle: Those are my diagnostic measurements. :yes:
I just gotted un :balance: ed & yes, I believe that the diet tilted me over just a bit. :gle:
I had axshully wondered that before you posted the dys futts. :hysterical:
But it's way more fun taking the scenic route to concensus.

You really suck at reading too :thumbs:
You missed the bit where it sed ...
"Your symptoms will depend on where the bacteria imbalance develops. They may also vary based on the types of bacteria that are out of balance."
Of the countless thousands of different gut bacteria :blob: each hooman has an estimated 300 to 500 different strains and those strains are balanced with other micro thingys like :mushrooms: viruses and ffuts we don't even noes :horror: SO ... :whatever: ... like yer memos that list aint complete :nono:
The thang is eberythang "can" goes with Graves' 'cuz the symptoms are not just about the thyroid but rather about the whole endocrine system. Ya noes the hormone messaging system ... the reason for the whole memo analogy :rimshot:
Anywho yeah Dysbiosis ... I thunked cool wurd to introduce but most timez no noticeable anythin :nono: like borborygmus ya noes the most common symptom of dysbiosis :oz:
Um yeah back to you and B ... how comes neither of you has a smate watch with :heart: monitoring? :scratch: You both have issues that have messed up :heart: rhythm as a symptom. Srsly between :heart: rate, pHyzical activity monitoring, sleep quality measuring and oodles of other options a smatewatch seems like a no :brain: er ... espeeshully iffen yer doesing :carp: self-monitoring :woe: :whistle:
In other newses ...
HOT !!! :heat: and no :shiver: lab :no:
Wynter AC system to the rescue :bliss: AND :sun: powered :electrocute:
So far no PG&E induced power outages :electrocute:
Oh and I setup dad's room with an AC system AND of course solar power with a few kW backup :thumbs:
In other other newses ... I was getting bored with hacking Fire Tablets and Alexa so I gotted a Google Hub which just arrived :happydance:
It's a doog weekend to play in siguie manor's cold room :bliss2:
FYI: the heating ffuts is going on the back burner :rimshot: ya noes until things chill out :rimshot:

I fergetted to mention ... oblate edible films with ~1.5g powdered kale :bump: Nitric Oxide levelz for atleast 6 hours :thumbs:

And yeah...it's hot today but the real hot is coming tomorrow. :crazyeyes: It's really like :end: kinda :heat:
So I had held off for you experimentation to be complete :roll: but I will get some powered kale cuz even if I sneak some into cooked doof or :whatever: it will be better than nothin. :yes:

Yeah I rock the :rimshot: thang (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/rockon.gif)
Well don't waste money on smatewatches iffen they isn't sumthin yer gonna use :nono: I lubs tech :wubsigh: AND watches in particular BUT I almost neber wearz or carries anythin :nono: Between solvents, corrosive kemikillz, high NRGeez radio and magnetic ffuts it's just not worth it :drama: it's even worser when I'm at werk :rimshot:
:flyball:
Srsly :yes: just keep yer pulse oximeter out and try and use it at the same timez each day OR whenever.
Thang is there are certain places 'n timez where when you can git reliable numberz ... like 15 minutes after a shower or a few minutes after you wakes up but afores you start doesing ffuts. When those numbers change you can see iffen what you is doesing is hasing a positive or negative effect. Though with B you'd prolly want a bp reading on top of thangs.
Anywho a smatewatch would be perfect IFFEN you had one that could set off a warning under programmed conditions or were into grapHing normalized data :yes: But agin iffen it's not sumthin you'd use it's stoopid to git one afores you is ready :therethere:
Eeeek NO :thwack: Do NOT put powdered kale in doof :barfy: Yeah I noes some people claim they does that but Holy :carp: that is NOT sumthin you want to taste :yucky:
Srsly I actually likes the flavour of kale in pasta and or minestrone BUT that powdered :carp: is srsly :carp: :horror: It's not too unbearable in a strong flavoured smoothie BUT I can put many handfuls of fresh kale in a smoothie and still drink it fine but there's a steep wall limit for the dried ffuts :uhoh:
Iffen you git powdered kale ALSO git :tater: starch based oblate papers 'cuz unless yer doof is already at um that level :whistle: there's no way adding powdered kale is going over well :nonono:
Srsly :yes: and the powdered :broccoli: is worserer :faint:
Besides you can wait on Pandora's assesment :yes: ... ya noes iffen she eber gits back :gaah:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
Google Nest Hub is definitely zippier with the smate home ffuts BUT it's so freaken annoying that "some thangs can only be setup from the app :gaah:

Powdered Kale does NOT has much flavour :nono: when one gram is mixed in a 500 ml siguie brand smoothie with pineapple, guava juice and POM BUT you "can" taste it at 500 to 1 with a lot of powerful flavours :uhoh:
Anywho, you can try it :yes: perchance yer :mushrooms: overlord will tell yer :brain: it's tasty :oz:
Just keep in mind that 1.66g is roughly equal to one serving of fresh kale but this aint fresh and it don't taste "fresh" neether :uhoh:
That said I am rather liking the oblate edible films :thumbs: Originally I came up with a way to roll AND compact the powder inside in order to maximize the amount per oblate spheroid but now I mostly freestyle the wrapping :bliss: One to 1.5g of ffuts is easy to wrap and swallow and is roughly the equivalent of around five 00 gel caps. I can git 3g to 5g in a single film but it either takes toooo long to pack or there's just barely enough edge to form a seal which means it can open at very inopportune moments like a dry powder :boom: in yer mouth :pukeface: :horror:
Anywho, I managed to git a minion intrigued with the endothelial nitric oxide doof generators. He tested basically zero the day before and in the morning :faint: After one oblate, a little over 6h later, he was in the "optimal" range :thumbs: and the next day down to "depleted".
The test strips used was a different brand Hoomanz or sumthin ... I didn't like them so gave the little canister to him for being a doog guinea pig minion. The thang to note is that the lowest level is "depleted" and his first tests weren't even that high :nono: so I called it Zero :yes: After ~24h he was down to "depleted" which is still higher than his original Zero.
That said eating fresh kale, atleast for some people :bump: their NO level for over 2 days. I don't noes about cooked kale :nono: or how that compares to powdered :drama:
The minion is a classic :burger: and :fries: guy who claims to make it to the gym atleast twice a week :roll: The point is he is NOT a veggiterrestrial type so different gut bacteria. So I don't noes if being on a plant based diet will raise or lower the NO time or level from the powder. However, my guess is Fresh > Cooked > Powdered and herbivore types with their plant based mouth bacteria will likely have the order of Fresh >> Cooked > Powdered BUT that's just my guess :angel:
Sumthin else I'm curious about ... in the South when they cook collards the most important/tasty part is the "pot liquor" aka Pot Likker. Plant organo nitrates and nitrites are water soluble AND apparently quite heat stable. It would be inerestin to find out if drinking the pot likker would be the equivalent of a greens serving :hmm2:
Of course the liquid only would be a :bump: spike 'cuz there's no roughage to slow the uptake :yes: The powdered form would likely be similar though not quite as quick :angel:
:horn: Pan where is you :drama: there is psiantz that needz doesing :frantic:
Dang I prolly shouldn't has given that minion a pack of oblates and kale powder :darn: Now I needz to convince another one :pullhair:
Well it was supposed to be 80°F today :no: BUT the marine layer decided to step in and put an end to that nonsense :thwack:
It's 65°F with lotsa :cloud: s :bliss:

But did the minion say he felt any better? Has more energy?
Just wondering if there is an immediate :bump: of energy or well-being.
Fascinating tho...really. :yes: Really. :yes:
:b: 's :mushrooms: Overlord has had him much much more aggreable. :yes:
I made a choped kale/ :broccoli: /red cabbage salad yesterday that he said was delicious...& so much easier to eat than cooked greens. :huh: I've made similar salads (only w/olive oil before) many many times over & he just barely ate it. I didn't care then cuz it was for me & Jack... I'd add chickpeas or quinoa or whatever & call it a meal. :yes:
But SUDDENLY, he loves it. :hysterical: And I noes why. :mushrooms: :muaha:
He said yesterday, "I figger we'll be vegan for life." & I says, "No...we'll be whole food plant based for life." :rofl:
But I tolded him that after a few more months he oughta be able to eat a :burger: or tuna steak (his favorite) or even fried chicken 3 or 4 times a year. I don't want any of it. He said he can easily live with that. :righton:
8:30 AM....80 degrees, 77 dewpoint & 91% humidity. :no:
I knew it was hot when I saw the condensation on the outside of the living room windows. :scared:
Mid/upper 90's for the foreseeable future. :uhoh: With nighttime lows in the upper 70's/low 80's.
I worry bout the homeless...Amish...and elsewise un-air-conditioned. :vibes: :shiver:

Yup and it was a super slooow CME :yes: and should :bump: the edge of the :earth: later this week :share:
"But did the minion say he felt any better? Has more energy?"
Yeah but that's just a mix of placebo effect, hopeful optimism and just being polite. Such comments aint psyantz :buttkick:
Realistically a single nitric oxide :bump: wont feelz anythin different unless you has the angina or sum such :dunno:
Iffen he had gone to the gym and noticed he was able to does more in a regular routine then sure 'maybe' otherwise useless data :bye: :buttkick: Also I'd be surprised iffen he actually goes to the gym once or twice a month :whistle:
Anywho, near as I can tellz, noticeable/verifiable benefits really start 2 or 3 daze after :bump: ing NO and then presumably only iffen you were relatively "low" to begin with. It's a big thang in bodybuilding which intuitively makes sense with the idea of increased blood flow but realistically :egg: sercise does the same thang so other than alleviating soreness after not really sure of the benefits :dunno:
In any event there is a LOT of "bad" psyantz where people are just making assumptions on increased blood flow and arbitrarily assuming benefits and projecting their hopes 'n dreamz onto the ffuts. :roll:
The thang is just widening the arteries cannot be the full :egg: tent of the benefits :nono: Yes, it reduces bp and :heart: strain :yes: BUT those with CAD generally see significant improvements within 10 daze :hmm2: Just increasing arterial flow doesn't does this :nono: iffen it did soso would be a cure ... it's sooo not :nonono:
Anywho the point is NO is indeed AWESOME :yes: BUT I'm pretty sure NOT promoting inflammation AND the healthy antioxidants :bump: are key components in the plant based diet actually being "healing" :yes:
" :b: 's :mushrooms: Overlord has had him much much more aggreable. :yes: "
All :hail: the :mushrooms: overlord :hail:
Yes, it's sad that some people will neber enjoy delicious :cow: eber agin :drama: but to be fair once you've gone fully :hippy: plant based veggiterrestrial :cow: wont be delicious no morez anywho :therethere: That's prolly gonna be around the one year mark in :mushrooms: takeover time :oz:
Also I'm fairly sure Dr.E is forbidden from saying the wurd "cure" :yes: I was curious how long a Dr.E followed protocol would take to reverse a ~50% arterial clog :hmm2: There are tons of 60% and 65% clogs showing dramatic reversals and even angiograms later showing no signs of clogs but even then the "cured" wurd is neber used only some form of reverse :scratch:
Anywho iffen yer curious about "how long does it take" to reverse a condition like B's ... obliviously it depends on the person but there is some data showing it's ...
:ooops: gotta :run: :bye:

For some reason I gots 2 years in my head. :dunno:
Also..."the angina". Spoken like a true southerner. :hysterical:
And this: [quote...]but realistically :egg: sercise does the same thang[/quote] :gaah: :gaah:
You mocked me when I said :egg: sercise increases NO levels. :eggface:
You know I haven't eaten a :burger: in I dunno how long. :scratch: I stopped eating :cow: & :pig: in 2012. But sometime, maybe around 2014ish I thunk a :burger: might be doog & I broke out in hives from head to toe after eating it. :no:
Not. One. Bite. Since then. I also had the hiviness after real bacon on a salad around the same time period. So nada. Nil. Nothing. Not even a drop of beef broth or the likes. :uhoh:
:b: is down to 188. :beanpole: But he stilll looks & feels doog. He really needs to start working out again. :yes:
He worked outside in the :heat: all day on Sunday. When he came in, soaking wet with sweat, I checked his BP out of curiosity. :yes: IT was 109/67. His pulse was 98 which is crazy high for him but not unexpected with what all he's been doing.
So :heat: cardio seem his thang. :crazy:
J & I went to Paris yesterday & boy oh boy LOTS of peoples looked extraordinarily hot :heat: & :mrcrankypants:
Of course the majority of the population here is extremely overweight so I noes that makes the :heat: so much harder on them. :sigh: And then I see that 1/3 of the US population is under excessive heat advisories with it being even hotter up northerer.
Minneapolis ( :hi: Jen ) was hotter than us yesterday! :faint:
And my concern is how tempers (read violence) flares as the mercury rises. :flowerom:
I am better. :wiggle: Can handle the heat better & am sleeping better & regardless of testing & :sigh: -ense I noes that my thyroid is much more in :check: I am still taking the herbal tincture once or twice a day. (It says 3-4x a day which is where I began).
Happy :fullmoon:
Ahooooooooooo!
Gonna go out & water & howl before melting point arrives. :sun: :heat: :wtf:

"For some reason I gots 2 years in my head. :dunno: "
Garsh where did that number come from :roll: ... nope :buttkick:
I was just gonna say "guess agin" but that might git olde fast :whistle:
THE Number depends on the patients age and the :egg: tent cloggy and cloggy type. So some of the older patients with severe long time clogs never see complete reversal :sigh: However, B is in the mid range with one of the wurst types of clogging and there was no :egg: act match. Based on age, location and percent clog ... 32 months :yes:
Anywho 57 year old 60% clogged LAD with angina ... 32 months until 2nd angiogram which showed nuthin aka "reversed".
The main problem is there was no statements concerning the type of clog :nono: AND the problem had clearly been resolved prior to 32 months BUT that's when the 2nd angiogram was taken :dunno:
There was also an 80% clogged artery :egg: ample reversing to 40% clogged in 17 months.

You need to go beyond Dr.E's asplinations and unerstanz how the body uses and produces NO. Yes :egg: sercise induces NO production because the muskles need more oxygen. Waking up induces more NO as well because mooving requires more oxygen than sleeping. The problem is the relative amounts being produced NOT NO production itself AND of course the kinks in the hose.
Just to be clear :egg: sercise does engender greater NO production :yes: it does NOT however replace a serving of greens :buttkick:
Iffen you is a person who has CAD like B THEN following Dr.E's protocol verbatim is a really REALLY doog choice :thumbs:
From a tech :nickel: perspective eberythang he sez is wrong or verily over simplified :therethere: The thang is he clearly unerstanz the psyantz :yes: and he noes what he's doesing :yes: He simply is not trying to promote the psyantz :nono: he wants to save lives by unequivocally stating "does this iffen ya wantz to live ".

Ya noes how some peoplez don't beleeb in :santa: ... :secret: nitric oxide does NOT cure CAD :faint:
A "plant based diet" on the other hand can "reverse" it :yes:
Nitric oxide levels are important :yes: but by themselves wont cure or reverse anythin :nono: you can still purchase isoamyl nitrite from thangs like Jungle Juice or git the next best thangs which are the butyl nitrites but these are quasi legal drugs referred to as "poppers".

Uh why? :scratch: Also how? :dunno: His diet already has low protein levelz ... iffen you force muskle production with insufficient dietary protein at best you will be sacrificing his skin, hair and nail health at wurst he will begin developing joint/cartilage/connective tissue problems :horror:

Not to be a :bee: buzz kill but considering all of the medications he's on, there's no easy way to say yes he's doing well or even badly if the numbers don't look doog :dunno:
The heat and temper thang is real :yes: BUT iffen it's hot enough even the tempers are too hot to does anythin :oz:
That said time to go werk in the cold room :yesss:
Garsh where did that number come from :roll: ... nope :buttkick:
I was just gonna say "guess agin" but that might git olde fast :whistle:
THE Number depends on the patients age and the :egg: tent cloggy and cloggy type. So some of the older patients with severe long time clogs never see complete reversal :sigh: However, B is in the mid range with one of the wurst types of clogging and there was no :egg: act match. Based on age, location and percent clog ... 32 months :yes:
Anywho 57 year old 60% clogged LAD with angina ... 32 months until 2nd angiogram which showed nuthin aka "reversed".
The main problem is there was no statements concerning the type of clog :nono: AND the problem had clearly been resolved prior to 32 months BUT that's when the 2nd angiogram was taken :dunno:
There was also an 80% clogged artery :egg: ample reversing to 40% clogged in 17 months. Again no indication of clog type :drama: but for the most part I'm looking at the :egg: amples aged 60 +/- 5 years and there are not that many Dr.E :egg: amples :nono: so verifying those patients that followed his protocol and had two angiograms is tough to find :faint:

Don't worry I will NOT get you started on thromboxane. :therethere:
:spitcoffee:
And I still think my 2 year approximation is purty doog. Iffin a dude went from 80 to 40% in 17 months....
:b: was at 40-45%. And yes, I unnerstanz the not knowing what type of blockage part. :yes:
I'm also wondering iffin the 100% closed off artery will reopen? :scratch:
That would be somethin. :sparkle:
And so I think I unnerstanz that most :heart: attacks are caused by blod clots, axshully...when a piece of plaque breaks off. That's where the endothelials come into play, is it not? :scratch: I'm still not clear on the mechanics of it all but ain't got time ( :secret: it's :spring: ) to study now.
And yes, I get the point about nitric oxide & :egg: cercise. :buttkick: I was just pointing out your loosey goosey use of words. :p
I'm smater than you think I am. :drama:
Anyway... I gots a kale patch in my flower garden that is producing abundantly in this heat! :happydance:
So every other day I pick leaves & cook them & then they grow back like :magic:
:b: has realized that fresh, tender kale is not nearly as :yucky: as tough, rubberized old grocery store kale.
FOr realz, I bet the kale in our local stores is 3 or more weeks old when they get it in. It's already yellowing. :sigh:
And it has the texture of shoe leather. :rofl:
I'm gonna start some more, along with choy, in my hydrotoy cuz I don't see the kale patch making it ALL summer. :dunno:
:yes: It really does work. :yes: And then the kale, I move to a pot or better yet I has one hydrobucket so maybe I shall start kale directly into that and just does choy in the toy. :chuckle: :yes:
So is angiogram the only way to see clogginess? I mean, other imaging types would not suffice?
You knows it cost over 25 grand? :faint: Thankfully we 'only' has to pay about 3k of that.
He oughta be hitting the out of pocket maximum soon. I hope. :laugh:
Gotta :run: My sis, bil & niece are coming from Ohio on Thurzdaze & I'm off to help Mom gather groceries & ffuts.
It's too hot for her to be toting all that.
And yeah... Chloe bought a house. :yes: Just in time before interest rate hikes. Anyway, they coming to help her paint & begin to move in. :sparkle:
Life goes on, heatwave or not. I heard a meteorologist say there is no obvious end in sight & that the heat only intensifies in coming days & weeks. :scared:
:gheart: for my aunt hasing a cholectomy today. :sigh: My gut ( bad joke) says they may find more than they were looking for.
I sure hope my gut is wrong.

I have seeds of several different varieties... red russian, siberian, vates (the curly ffuts), tuscan (dinosaur)
The dry, tough, grocery kale tastes like grocery store no matter how long I soak it in baking soda & vinegar water. :yucky:
And the ONLY variety available is vates.
Srsly, we live far from the salad bowl of the country & then are rural to boot. The local produce manager vented to me about how the small market stores get the :carp: iest produce.
I'm growing the choy indoors, goofus. As well as the 5-gallon hydrobucket. :yes: Choy grows remarkably fast & does remarkably well in the hydrotoy.
And yes, when time permits we/I wanna set up more & more for indoor growing cuz for reals...mid to upper 90's as far as the eye can see... :heat: :scared:
Funny, :b: just planted some parsley that was in the very first batch of hydrotoy seedings. :wubsigh:
18 months ago. :faint: He had transplanted it to a pot (cuz initially he didn't believe it could grow in water :chuckle: ) & I have snipped it many times over in my windowsill til it was looking quite ragged. He put it in the ground a week ago & it esploded with new growth!!
We have started many things in the toy & then transplanted them to pots or outdoors. :righton: I has no idea just how many plants have passed through it's widdle plastic body. :wubsigh:
Anyway, it's getting too hot to add anything outside so now I shift back indoors for planting & seed starting.
Finally getting smate & seeding in egg cartons, or little pots or plastic salad containers...whatever is handy.
Right now my windowsill hosts Jacki-painted pots of freshly seeded cilantro, dill, thyme, parsley & wasabi arugula that are freshly seeded. Waaaay too many seeds per pot but when they sprout I'll decide their fate. :muaha:
Today I got up at 5, outside before 6 when it was absolutely gorgeous out there. :wubsigh:
I got drips on in the Dance Hall & sprinkler in the MEdicine Wheel & other than tending the water I am done outside. :yes:

:hello: Global Warming turn that :sun: off when it's not needed :buttkick:
It's way WAY to Freaken HOT :gaah: :heat:
"The dry, tough, grocery kale tastes like grocery store no matter how long I soak it in baking soda & vinegar water. :yucky:
And the ONLY variety available is vates."
Um ok :scratch: an acid plus a base produces salt and water so yer basically soaking kale in salt water ... what is this supposed to help with? :dunno:
I likes the "dry, tough, grocery kale " :yes: just accept it's not for salads :nono: OR just nuke it for 3 minutes to soften it up :club: afores using or even cooking with :yes: 3:30 in a 1200W microwave is just right iffen you want to cool it and use in a dish as is or 3 minutes and add to pasta or :egg: s or whatever :angel: Baby curly kale still takes 2:30 and 3 minutes respectively ... srsly only a 30 second reduction ... that ffuts is nearly as nasty as adultified kale :uhoh:
Oh and be sure to add any residual kale liquid to what you is cooking 'cuz it prolly has lots of organo nitrates :flex:
Also be sure and pull out the srsly THICK stems they are basically twigs :yucky:
Pretty much ANY plant can be hydropontificated :yes: Root veggies are tricky because you need to has a system that allows for root :egg: spansion ... so :carrot: :tater: beets etc. are tricky BUT they are still doable and FYI hydroponic seet :tater: s are pretty AWESOME :happydance:
We used a constant flow system so water would always be moving and there wouldn't be any stagnant areas. Also :tater: s don't require much nutrient solution which means a separate watered down system for them BUT otherwise not really an issue :nono:
"Anyway, it's getting too hot to add anything outside so now I shift back indoors for planting & seed starting. "
:secret: Agrivoltaics :whistle:
By the way have you tried putting a water sprinkler on yer roof yet? It's prolly been about 2 years now :whistle:
Srsly :yes: ideally you just want a periodic misting, not a continuous :rain: As long as you are not in a drought and has plenty of well water ... with yer :carp: insulation evaporative roof cooling should save some serious monies :yes:
In other newses ... it's HOT but back to the :bear: able low 70's :kickcan:

K...I been reading about agrivoltaics. :righton: Fascinating. :yes:
Earlier this year we axshully sat 3 4' tables over top of some beautiful romaine that I wanted to protect.
It worked beautifully. :yes:
Partial shade due to the :sun: position was just enough to take the heat off of the lettuce :rimshot:
And...for the first time ever, I has food ffuts (kale, lettuce, cilantro, parsley, basil, thyme, oregano) planted underneath a broken tree in partial shade & they too are doing wonderfully well. So far. :yes:
And yes, sprinkler on the roof. :yes: We are in bad shape for non-leaky hoses right now & trying to figure out what to does.
We needs around 300' of new hosiery. :sigh: No...more than that.
150' to get to the drip line connector :check:
100' to get to the back of the Dance Hall but 50' would suffice for now. :check:
100' to water the 'front yard' & wash cars/house/etc. :check:
THen another 50-100' to get to centerish of the roof. :check:
And remarkably, we has water & water pressure sufficient to utilize all thoses hoses at once. :faint:
My cousin up the drive cannot even power one 360' sprinkler & we have had 2 going at once & still had good shower water pressure. :yes: Very thankful.
:thanks: water. :hail: water :heart: water
I still wanna know how to tap a spring & get water to the surface automagically. :sparkle:
Our well pump is our achilles. :yes:
AS for the kale-talk... :whatever: I still gonna buy it when I has to but hopefully I won't has to very often. :yes:
And I don't axshully soak in baking soda. Just a splash of vinegar in a clean sinkfull of water as it opposedly :chuckle: counteracts any pesticide/herbicide residue. Though really I am more concerned about regular grocery store pickups :blob: than the former.
And it soaks for 2 to many-many minutes depending on what else I am doing in the kitchen.
Mom & ZA shake baking soda, then spritz white vinegar on every piece of produce they wash.
Energies!!!! :gaah:
Yesterday was a day and a half. :faint:
Glad it is now today. :sparkle:

Iffen yer hoses leak put them on the roof, it's like a drip or mister system which is perfect :yes: OR ya noes just use a drip or sprinkler system and a few gallons of water to gauge how much ya need for how much benefit :angel:
Also 200 feetz of hose is between $50 and $60 fer the doog ffuts :scratch: ... how borked are you guyz? :dunno:
Anywho youse would prolly does bestest with agrivoltaics by using the :electrocute: in yer :hula: huts to power the fans :yes: The key to goesing :sun: power :electrocute: is to offset each purchase/upgrade component by reducing yer power bill :yes: even if it's not muches it ALL adds up.
Like for me with the 100W panel producing ~20kW to 30kW per month is still enough to pay off the panel in about 1.5 years :oz: After that it's FREE :electrocute: :bliss:
As for that baking soda vinegar washing or spritzing ... :woe: DCPA, DDE's and Imidacloprid are the main insecticides used accodring to whatsonmyfood.org (https://www.whatsonmyfood.org/food.jsp?food=GK) and yeah wont do nuthin that water alone wouldn't :nono:
For Imidacloprid water and LIGHT would decompose it :vibes: Though yer best bet is a cold soak with an ozone bubbler OR just a cap full of bleach :dunno: OR even betterer a tablespoon of salt and two titanium mesh electrodes with 10V 1A :lectrocute: ... no worries DC not AC :nono: The ozone is the easiest but siguie brand hypochlorous acid generating is wonderous :wwsd:
FYI: Spritzing with vinegar is better than soaking in that stoppy bath thang :yes:
"Energies!!!! :gaah:
Yesterday was a day and a half. :faint: "
No doub ya mean a Thursdazed ... yes yes it was :yes: :gaah:

K so I'm here with Dad and there is two large buncheses of kale. So I ask does you noes how to cook kale? No, says he. So why all this kale says I? 'cuz you was coming over and it's very nutritious sez Dad. Does this mean I'm supposed to cook this sez I? Yes, sez Dad :yes: and does it like last time I'm telled :roll:
I'm taking this as a compliment ... Dad likes my kale :happydance:
Apparently 1 he doesn't even warm the :carp: he just dishes it out of the container from the fridge :chuckle: Anywho the :secret: ingredients are ascorbic acid pure for tang and to keep the color bright green, HP sauce, red pepper flakes, a squeeze of lemon, a dash of mirin and once the ffuts cools siguie brand sauerkraut mixed in. This is for salt and lacto bacteria :blob: funk :oz:
Srsly, the sauerkraut is the speeshul ffuts, not only does it add the kraut flavors but it inoculates the kale with the lacto bacilli. This adds a little zing overtime BUT the main reason is it helps the thang last a few :egg: tra daze in the fridge :oz: This is not truly a fermented kale :nono: but it's a step in that direction :angel:

Srsly, the sauerkraut is a great idea. :hi5:
The last I cooked was sauteed in a little water, then 'reduced' with tamari...2 or 3 times...& finished with a splash of balsamic.
B liked it a lot. And also just ate it cold. :yes:
I ain't never cooked with ascorbic acid tho I has some. :scratch: Sounds inneresting.
My kinfolk peoples always ate greens of any kind with hot peeper vinegar on top. :yes: Usually they had home-canned hot peepers, but most any store bought jar works as well.
Funny story. :rofl: Guess the kale thang is contagious. :rofl:
As for spritzing with vinegar...that's mostly what I does. But at Mom's or ZA's I has to follow their backing soda protocol. :chuckle:
Home growed greens gets 2 or 3 baths in a large bowl of water...til the water is clean...so I can then water plnts or fish tanks after washing. Funny...tho we use a LOT of water outside I cannot let the kitchen sink water run. I grew up with a cystern...Dad hauled water... & I still cannot let water run wastefully down the drain. :no:
I really does not worry about kemikill residues. Maybe I oughta :dunno: but I doesn't. :nonono:
Things here really can smell/taste like grocery store/stale refrigerator tho. :yucky:
And hoses.... :nonono: The Dramm are about $1.50 per foot. I'm looking at Briggs & Stratton rubber hoses on Amazon for .86 per foot.
And last night we estimated we needs 350'. :check:
And no...we ain't that broke. We just both dislike spending monies on ffustses we'd rather not buy. There are funner things to drop $3-400 on. :yes:

"Srsly, the sauerkraut is a great idea. :hi5: "
Naturally ... :wwsd:
Oh and sumthin to amemberz ... fermentation reduces oxalic acid from 50% to 75% and leafy greens tends to has a lot. This reduces the potential of developing kidney stones as well as turning bitter to tangy :oz: This is also why I recommend fermentation for beets and not just because they taste like durt otherwise :whistle:
FYI: Oxalic acid binds with calcium so removing it also means you don't lose calcium :oz: Another reason why vegetationists often have osteoperosis :roll:
Anywho didn't I mention siguie brand sauerkraut was my main ferment? :scratch: Anytime any vegetation starts getting old it gits chopped up and brined in a standard 2% solution with a dollop of kraut OR just salted and covered in a layer of kraut then stuck in the fridge. As long as you don't wait until ffuts goes black and moldy :mushrooms: you can purty much keep any vegetaion eatable for weeks iffen not months :oz:
Also iffen you keep red chili flakes and or korean pepper flakes on hand you can basically has kimchi or kimchi like pickles anytime :yes: Like with napa cabbage I generally don't like the outer leaves so, chop, salt, peeperz, a dash of siguie brand sauerkraut starter and :boom: kimchi is borned :gstars:
I don't actually eat that much sauerkraut straight :nono: 'cept on siguie brand chili sauerkraut dogs :drool: No Tofu Allowed :buttkick: but I does has a little purty much eberyday :yes: and dad too-ish :angel:
"I ain't never cooked with ascorbic acid tho I has some. :scratch: Sounds inneresting. "
Well you don't heat the ffuts :nono: it's mixed in towards the end when thangs are cooling. It's a SUPER AntiOxidant waiting to happen :flex: :superman:
It's also common in many pesto recipes like Link (https://www.foodrepublic.com/recipes/pesto-recipe-with-blanched-basil/) it maintains the Green in fact I commonly add it in siguie brand garlic basil olive oil puree it keeps the mix a bright green plus iffen you add enough there is a nice tang to it :yes:
FYI: I has kilos of the ffuts and take quite a lot daily so it's just sumthin I keep on hand like a salt keeper :angel:
"Funny story. :rofl: Guess the kale thang is contagious. :rofl: "
Yeah well after Dad found out he was anemic THEN that his B12 was sub par AND he needed iron AND that ascorbic acid helped iron absorption he started reading up on nutrition and Kale is basically the #1 superdoof. SO ... :whatever: ... since his cooking ability starts and ends at "boil" I makes him ffuts :yes: Though yesterday was more about "what you want with yer curried sea bass on Sunday? " :popcorn:
Oh yeah Briggs & Stratton made doog hoses :thumbs: I thunked they was shutting down though :scratch: Also :check: out Craftsman garden hoses ... usually their "Premium" line it's basically the same hose a dollar or two cheaper BUT they go on clearance atleast once a year the Briggs & Stratton not so muches :sigh:
:kickcan:
Anywho the main point is water yer roof :buttkick: OR atleast setup some drip sprayers with a few gallons of water. Done properly you will greatly reduce the strain on your AC and save a considerable chunk of change.

And we gets a break from the :heat: :happydance:
Only a high of 85 (29.4) today. And it's down to 64 (17) this morning! :hapydance:
Tuesday we climb back up tho. :sigh: 98 (36) & up for the rest of the week. :heat:
Sig, the Craftsman is discontinued. :yes: But I read a review that said they were almost certain that the Briggs & Stratton is just the Craftsman rebranded. B said when he worked for Briggs making mowers they made a Craftsman mower (and a John Deere and a cheap Murray) that were all pretty much the same except for decals, paint & a detail or 2.
But now I'm seriously considering the metal snake-like hoses for the drag-around areas. :dunno: Zen Aunt has had them 4 years & loves them but my concern is the squelching of water pressure & the fittings...some peoples say they are :carp:
So maybe we just stay with the tried & true. Gotta decide & order today.
We're just tired of dropping fiddy bucks over & over & over again for the :carp: they sells at Walmart & Lowes.
And our pile of dead hoses (never know when you might need a piece of hosiery :rofl: ) grows larger & larger. :sigh:
Happy Father's Day! :heart:

:vibes: (https://psifly.com/cr/seasons/fathersday/nooooo.jpg) :sebiv:
Father's Day mission success :bliss:
I'm tard :coffee:
It was freaken 80°F when I left BUT here in siguieville it's a warm but acceptable 66°F :yesss:
Fine keep it it's yours :yes:
But knock it off with the :sunhug: that thang is already coughing up CME's left 'n right :tinhat:
"Sig, the Craftsman is discontinued. :yes: "
Huh :huh: some items yes :yes: in general no :nono: Briggs & Stratton on the other hand definitely exiting and closing this summer :yes:
The steel hose is quite doog for dirt and lawn :yes: but not over cemented areas :nono: It'smain advantage is :sun: resistance and you can drive over it supposedly :dunno:
Dad has a 20' or 25' that he likes 'cuz it don't kink :nono: Also the ends have doog seals so there is zero leaking and he can just leave the main valve open :thumbs:
In general I figure iffen them thangs can survive 5 summers they've done their duty and can be retired :yes:
Anywho spend a few bucks on a drip or mist system fer yer roof and save enough to buy the doog hoses :buttkick:
Dang it my new toy hasn't arrived :pullhair: :tantrum: I wanna play :drama:

Just letting you all noes :wiggle:
FYI: EB3A arrived and it's lovely :happydance: the solar charge cable wont arrive for another 2 weeks :woe: but there's not much I cannot hack together the charge cable is stoopid proprietary :carp: but I nailed it 8)
Oh and the thang can even power my dehumidifier :yes: siguie power toolz no problemo :nono: even my fridge and or chest freezer :thumbs: No Joy on the AC but that's :egg: pected :sigh:

66 degrees is :shiver: indoors. It is acceptable outdoors iffin one is working or in the :sun:
We're about to heat up again. :sigh: Yesterday was perfect weather. :wubsigh: Low 80's with a strong Lake Erie breeze & virtually no humidity.
But we were tard, too. :splat: Like flat out :splatt: ed.
B napped in his hammock, I in my hammock chair. :cloud9:
And I slogged through making a simple dinner feeling quite :sigster: -fied.
I ordered the Briggs & Stratton. I does believe they are likely the same as Craftsman. Peoples would be surprised at how many products are manufactured in the same facility, with the same parts, and only a couple teensy details that are different.
The most striking was the John Deere push mower which was exactly the same as the Walmart-sold Roper except for the patented John Deere green paint & decals. The former was over $400...the latter around $150. :faint: B was a quality dude there & knew every detail of every push mower they made. So you pays for the name...and maybe improved customer service...hopefullly.
The Bionic steel buyers complained that the warranty was useless cuz they could never axsully contact a customer service rep. There were too many complaints about defects & decreased pressure so I decided to pass. I does like using Zen Aunt's tho. THey are lightweight & slithery. :chuckle:
Glad you had a doog sea bass delivery. :rofl: And yes, white peaches are the best! But I haven't seen one in years. :sigh:
Why you think our peaches simply rot on the trees? :bawling: Iffin Georgia can grow peaches then we oughta be able to too. :yes:
EB3A sounds like a droid name. :yes: Like CP30 or R2D2. Axshullly, EB3A is more akin sound-like to BB8.
Boy oh boy we are ever thankful for the incredible micro-climate that we (along with Nature) have created with the heat waves & :sun: shots. :treehug:

:thwack: 61°F is the perfect indoor temp but in the winter I try to maintain 63°F to avoid humidity/mold :mushrooms: issues :sigh:
It's gonna be 84°F today and we has a Heat Advisory until 10pm tomorrow and tomorrow is :egg: pected to be 95°F :faint:
" Peoples would be surprised at how many products are manufactured in the same facility, with the same parts, and only a couple teensy details that are different. "
Lotsa people don't even realize milk comes from :cow:
With a hose you can also git the same hose part but different fittings BUT yeah the craftsman ffuts looked absolutely identical. With the steel hosiery it's the inner hose that can be problematic. You cannot see it easily which means it's a doog place to cut corners but that means it's more likely to :suck: iffen you don't git a doog one :sofa:
Yer peaches prolly has Brown Rot :yes: that's the main reason stoned fruits rot on the tree also why lots of the flowers wilt and fall off :yes: You prolly need some sulfur rinsing and a doog dose of copper sulfate :flex: Also this is one of those timez where noesing how to properly trim a tree is important :yes:
I thinxz I'm still a moovie or two behind on the Star Wars ffuts :scratch: I gotts Disney now but them thangs are all over 2 hours and I haven't even started the Obi Wan series :ashamed:

FYI: a small 9,000 BTU mini split would run at about 600W which means my EB3A could run it for about 20 minutes. Thang is a slightly larger sogen and you could run it for longer AND attach solar panels {for PassThru} and run a mini split as long as the :sun: was out AND completely off the grid :oz:

It's been :bsc: :frantic: around heres. Just now clocking back in. :ashamed:
So, tests....well I did like 2 more with inadequate results, but continued to pay attention to more fruit, more hydration in my diet. FINALLY, this last test was up to nermal. :cheer: I truly believe the experiment helped me get get back on track Sig. Thanks you. I'm just not sure how well it werks for your ebil plans. :bsl:
Right now it's 71F, but it's supposed to hit the high 80's by this afternoon. The garden is the best it's been in about 3 years, but I think that's because we actually had friendlier weather and better seeds/plants. :thumbs:
I isn't visitin' long. I haz some serious errands to run. I gots to pick up some important food stuffs like crackers, pretzels, peppermints, and some flavored water.
But I will be back soon. I have stories. :rainbow:

Emotional :hugs:
Yes, Solstice exact about 4:15 AM :elvis: time yesterday :sparkle:
Today's gonna be 97 here. :heat: And we is going to a graveside funeral service for Miss Melba. :wub: :candle:
Remember Miss Melba? Buddy's lady friend. :wub: She was 93. And had had her second stroke on Friday. Dies Monday morning. :wub:
Yesterday was eventful... lotsa newses. :yes:
:b: was offered a promotion, of sorts. A salaried, quality department boj for which he interviewed twice. :yes:
At the same place. :chuckle: But more better benefits (he axshully gets 7 paid sick days...didn't know anybody offered that any more...and paid personal days...on top of vacay :yes: ) And of course, abouts 30% more monies. :cheer:
And then I woke up to a dream of being presented with a sizable inheritance. :huh: $180,000 to be exact. :chuckle:
The presenter was wanting me to choose an investment plan which would pay me weekly. :huh:
Anyway, I thunk the 180 was an interesting number. 180 degree turn? :scratch:
Energies are definitely lighter though there is still an 'undercurrent' of agitation. :yes:
Interestingly, the last graveside service I attended was for my Uncle Byron. It was about 15 degrees that day. :shiver:
:hearts:
Crackers, pretzels, peppermints... :hysterical:

Oh and you are supposed to mix the two in ghee or some type of oil ... I think an oblate afores buttered toast is fine along with thangs like vitamin E, D, Fish ... Krill or other Omega 3 Oil, etc. For those on a No Oil diet ... yeah yer on yer own ... there are some nutrients that can only be absorbed via oils. Others are water soluble like B12 :angel: SO ... :whatever: ... when possible it's a doog idea to take whatever at appropriate timez/meals/doof :oz:
Speaken of which tarladalal.com has a lot of recipes BUT the Indian ones are pretty authentic :thumbs: which means most of youses may have some trouble sourcing the ingredients locally :whistle:

I really miss the coconut curries. :sigh: And peanuts. :rofl: But my body is prolly happier (read leaner) without both. :hysterical:
Yes, 12-8:30PM....he cain't do midnights. :no:
But...yesterday the plant manager said he had the option of working 10-8:30 4 days a week. Prolly M-Thurz.
It will be awhile before he axshully starts tho cuz they have to hire somebody to does his boj. :chuckle:
They are also hasing difficulty hiring right now...peoples either fail their background &/or drug screens OR...they just don't show for interviews. :huh:
Anyway...he loves working 4 10s :righton: And also greatly appreciates this factry as the best he's ever worked at when it comes to treating peoples well. The buyer dude came to him yesterday & says, "I noes you has some dietary restrictions & just want you to know if there's anything you want stocked in the vending machines that I will make it happen." :sparkle: THen later he says, "We're ordering Dominos for the safety meeting & if you ant anything special...like a salad.. or a special :pizza: I wll gladly order it for you." He said there were "a couple diabetics that I special order doof for". :sparkle: That is really unheard of in the factry world. :righton:
:pey: Even here in the Rainforest our rain has been supplanted by :heat: It's yako (cept for all the watering I has to does) cuz our sole working mower is in the shop with a bad starter & no rain means no grass grows. :yes:
So Sig...is there any flavor at all that can (even poorly) substitute for butter &/or oil?
I tried (failed) to make a simple Chez mix yesterday by using tamari in place of the oil & it is dry & :yucky:
I'd still like to salvage it but I cannot think of anything to douse it with that would improve it.
I used garlic powder, onion powder, redhot, Lawry's (like regular chex mix) & then tamari & a splash of rice vinegar to make it coat the ffuts (cheerios, rice chex, pretzels & homemade dry bagel chips :chuckle: ) The bagel chips I misted with water & then added garlic & onion powders. :yucky:
I thought it was gonna be a brilliant not so bad salty snack but it is quite um...bad. :rofl:

:chuckle: it's cool that the faktory is willing to go the :egg: tra mile but here that's pretty much par for the course :wiggle: Eberyone needz to be included so it's just rare to does now :sigh: On the other darker side these events are often used to prod people into healthier eating habits by trying to pass off healthier doof as just as doog :no:
Speaken of which didja tries one of them healthy "tastes just like the real thang " chex recipes :hysterical:
"So Sig...is there any flavor at all that can (even poorly) substitute for butter &/or oil? "
Yes :yes: it's sugar ... fer realz :therethere:
ALL flavourants are just simple kemikillz and you can add Diacetyl {aka 2,3-butanedione} to whatever ya licks to make it Buttery :thumbs: the problem is you want the "moisturizing " of the oil along with the crispness it imparts AND has the flavours imparted by the oil since they are oil soluble.
The problem is iffen you remove the oil you need different flavours that are similar but are water soluble, emulsifiable OR matrix trappable.
Ideally you would simply take the flavours you want but chosen for their water solubility, emulsify and coat yer chex mix. This is basically the dry glue method and it don't werk well :yucky:
Anywho long story short er ... sugar{s} can be made to be liquid or polyamorpHouscrystally hard, which means you can create a crispness on what you want, trap flavourants in the matrix AND avoid the oil :bliss: The trick is not to :egg: ceed the hard crack temperature ~300°F at the surface of the doof THEN of course you will need to tweak the spice mix to counter the subtle sweet and caramel flavours. This is generally done with more salt and spicy choices.
There's a reason no oil "diet" doof tends to be salty and filled with sugar :yes:
Overall yer best option is to accept the dry chex mix for now and use it as an offering to the :mushrooms: overlord :cleanse: and in time they'll :buttkick: yer :brain: into believing the dry :carp: tastes just like the original OR better ... srsly that's how these monsters werk :therethere:
"I really miss the coconut curries. :sigh: And peanuts. :rofl: But my body is prolly happier (read leaner) without both. :hysterical: "
Perhaps yes, perhaps no ... there are reasons why diets are doog for one person but not necessarily another and :egg: treme diets are even more likely to be dividing. Then there is the fact that diets "should" change with both age AND pHyzical activity oh and health levelz of course :yes:
Coconut oil raises HDL as well as triglycerides, while the second may sound bad that triglyceride :bump: is from MCT {mediu, chain triglycerides} and your liver generally appreciates it PLUS it can help raise :brain: function :yes:
A plant based diet has many merits BUT it is not the ideal diet for most people :yes: Iffen yer trying to fix CAD then yes it is as near as I can tell an ideal diet :yes: Iffen you was trying to avoid cognitive decline or recover from a variety of liver and renal diseases then go for MCT. Also just for general maximizing muskles :flex: from werking out ... coconut :yes:
Anywho, like soooo many diets it may be best {NOT for B :nono: } to mix thangs up and figure out what is best for youse or atleast what werks best and for how long :yes:
Fer instance Grave's Disease prolly would does better with more lean protein. Also you has/had low hemoglobin, imply you does pHyzically labors and live in heck. A purely plant based diet with no oils really doesn't sound optimized for youse :nono: BUT yer prolly doog for atleast 2 or 3 years :yes:

My hemoglobin has been in the 14 range the last 3 or 4 times I gave blood. :shera: :p
And I am the one who doesn't want to eat meat ffuts, amembers? :laugh:
That said, I does crave proteins sometimes but am fine with plant protein.
:broccoi: is truly like a medicine to me.
And no I dint do no tastes like the real thing or :whatever: recipe...I made it up myself. :flex: :rofl:
So sugar...I can does that in moderation. I'm not a sugar lover like B & J so it's easy for me to seriously moderate. I just don't like overly sweet anythings. I eat my oats raw, sugarlos, saltlos & with fruit & plant milk. B & J think it :yucky: :rofl:
They would both really like a slightly sweet cajun-type Chex mix. :yes:
And um....you knows you live in a totally different world than we do? :sigh:

"2 or 3 years... :rofl: :woe: "
Yup :yes: you lauf but it's like clock werk with the Indian post-docs ... they start feelin tired occasionally dizzy AND it's always B12 anemia :drama: ... typically the wimminz are closer to 2 years and the menz up to 3. The most :hysterical: part is no one believes me UNTIL :muaha:
Anywho, that's one reason why diets should be mixed up ebery once in a while :yes: ... the body is doog at triage BUT when it runs out it crashes quick :wiggle:
Regardless there are only 16 or 17 "minerals" that you need depending on how you define the term and 13 or 14 "vitamins" again depending on the definition and 9 "Essential Amino Acids" though that number prolly should be 12 'cuz there are 3 "Conditionally Essential" and the conditions are pretty common. So basically 38 to 43 nutritional pieces in the puzzle, the majority of which can be ignored unless you has some rare disease or eat like a 5 year old.
Basically there are only a dozen or so bits that need to be considered either because ya need more, yer diet is deficient OR there are some caveats like Zinc and Copper cannot be taken together in supplement form 'cuz they combine and are not bioavailable. Other's like iron absorb better when taken with ascorbic acid {vit.C} and ffuts like that. There are also some "non-essential" but doog to think about thangs like strontium :yes: as nuklear fallout it's skeery 'cuz it behaves like calcium but binds more strongly and isn't removed by the body the way calcium can be. In the readily available non radioactive form strontium ranelate is what you want for osteoperosis 'cuz it behaves like calcium but binds more strongly and isn't removed by the body the way calcium can be ... deja vous :scratch:
Zen aunts friend with the fragile bones shoulda been put on the ffuts :yes: I was gonna has dad use it but he had a bone density test and just rocked it :headbang: so no point really :dunno:

" :broccoi: is truly like a medicine to me. "
Yup certainly tastes like it :yes:
"And no I dint do no tastes like the real thing or :whatever: recipe...I made it up myself. :flex: :rofl: "
That is an asplination :yes: ... so what ya thought like making :fries: you could just completely leave out the oil ... oh wait that cannot be right ... :doh:
"So sugar...I can does that in moderation. I'm not a sugar lover like B & J so it's easy for me to seriously moderate."
Um yeah I mean no :buttkick: it's not about "moderation" that's yer diet ... this is about what you need to achieve a product goal. How much, what type of sugar and the process will depend on the protocol. Iffen you just sprinkle sugar on it will mostly roll off and leave burnt char dots :yucky:

Oh man super lazy. :blob: And it was a stretched out day....one where 2PM felt like 6, etc.
All 3 of us.
We did run to Kroger for fruit. B is back to his fake fruititarian ways :chuckle: & we gotted 2 cantaloupes, 4 pineapples (4 for $5 :laugh: ), 6 pounds of grapes, 6 gala apples & of course :banana:
Then we came home & ate leftover black beans & rice & watched Top Gun which had recorded earlier. :rofl:
Then I made veggie lasagna (with tofu ricotta) & cut up a cantaloupe & pineapple.
And then we ate again & watched Secrets of the Universe about supermassive black holes & such. :laugh:
We gotted a teensy bit of rain. Maybe half an inch. Better than nothin but not nearly enough. :umbrella:
But now we is having a cold front :shiver: Highs only in the mid-80s. :hysterical:
Going to a :butterfly: & insect thingamabob at the TN Wildlife Refuge at Big Sandy today. :wiggle:

Leisa I doesn't unnerstand the protein thang. I mean, it's one of the easier thangs to manage in a vegan diet.
I kinda figured you had all the goodies on a daily basis like, beans, lentils, edamame, tofu, tempeh, nutritional yeast, etc. ?
Well, one easy fix would be spirulina. You needs your proteins.
Sweeteners. What about Agave? I swore off refined sugar years ago, and used honey until I went to the green side. Agave is a decent substitute.
Today shall be a bit calmer. Lower humidity and lower temps. :thumbs: I have to go weed the garden, and tie the tomato plants. A day of bliss outside away from the insanity this country has been sinking into.

Ooooh spirulina there's a doog idea ... why didn't I thinxz of that :doh: though not for :asiel: and not for protein :nono: One of it's antioxidants is particularly well suited for preventing oxidation of LDL cholesterol :thumbs: As in :buttkick: the LDL oxidation issue affores it can make a foam cell :thumbs:
Oh and yeah it does has doog protein value BUT like most plants it's not complete protein :therethere:
Hmmm more interestingly I wunderz iffen spirulina :bump: s nitric oxide levelz :hmm2: Comes to thinxz of it I'm 97.2% sure chlorella does AND it's a similar algae :yes:
Dang I should prolly break out my bag of spirulina/chlorella super :yucky: compressed pillz :sigh: They is yucky grass flavoured :barfy:
Ooooh heya guinea pig ghurl Pan you has spirulina AND test strips right? :whistle: I doubt iffen it can match the NO power :flex: of powdered kale BUT it's sumthin that should be tested :muaha:
It's HOT here :sigh:

:doh: I shoulda just guessed it was Healthline :roll:
Quote from: healthline4. Protects "Bad" LDL Cholesterol From Oxidation
Fatty structures in your body are susceptible to oxidative damage.
This is known as lipid peroxidation, a key driver of many serious diseases (13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source).
For example, one of the key steps in the development of heart disease is the oxidation of "bad" LDL cholesterol (15Trusted Source).
Interestingly, the antioxidants in spirulina appear to be particularly effective at reducing lipid peroxidation in both humans and animals.

Do do doodoo... (just singing out loud :rofl: )
Pan...we gets lots of protein.. I said fake frutitarian cuz the whole time he worked at the nursery he called himself a fruititarian but he still ate tuna, chicken & cheese then.
He/we always call things/people funny names. He called me a veterinarian (vegetarian) for years...often in public. :rofl:
He's just craving LOTS of fruit. :yes: On top of all the regular ffutses.
And I trust his intuition as much as my own. :yes: It's a scorpio thang. :yes:
So... yesterday made a hard right turn. :faint:
Long story way short Mom is in the hospital hasing an array of tests to determine if she had a TIA yesterday morning. :shera:
She called at 8:41AM saying that we needed to go on without her. :huh: I could tell right away something was off & my first thought was "Covid!" :woe: She sounded awful.
She was in the shower when SUDDENLY she felt like :faint: ing...light-headed, weak, nauseous... she had taken her BP which was 96/50 & Mom takes lotsa BP meds & still struggles to keep it in check. She tends to spike. Never dips. HEr pulse was also down to 56 which is crazy low. She averages closer to 80. Sat rate at hospital was 100.
After she called me I called Zen Aunt (who lives about 1/4 mile away from her) who immediately went over to check on her.
ZA said Mom's eyes were continuously trying to roll back in her head but when she mentioned it Mom was unaware & could not feel it. :huh:
So they leave to go to the ER. I get J dressed (I was already ready) & we head there, too.
As a side note: the ER was exceptionally busy. Like super :fullmoon: :crazy: busy. THey said numerous ambulances had come in & they'd transferred a week's worth of patients before noon. :huh: Quite remarkable.
So finally at 4PM the triage nurse (who had been calming & amazing as she monitored patients' vitals in the waiting room & listened to the impatient ones) came over & says, "Y'all come with me?" I says, "ALL of us?" (me, Jack, ZA, Mom) She says, "Yes, I'll esplain when we get there." :huh:
So she led us to a 12'x16' room with a few chairs & several BP monitors in it & they axshully saw Mom from there.
So after going over the history & eeerthing else the doc felt she needed to rule out TIA & we totally agreed. Buddy (Mom's dad) had TIAs for 20+ years...increasingly more frequent. HE never had an axshual stroke but the TIAs did lead to his dementia they said.
So her choice was to see her regular provider today & has multiple tests done as an outpatient which around here could easily have taken weeks or months. OR stay the night & git r done. :check:
She looked back to normal by 10-11AM. (It happened around 8:30)
So J & I ran home & got her a few things (20 minutes away) & when we went back to the ER they said she was in a room.
So up to the room we trek but nobody is there. :wtf:
Mom calls me on the phone & I says, "Where are you?" :rofl: She was back in ER cuz they had nobody to take her up. She said she would walk :hysterical: but of course they could not allow that.
So J & I came home....just about 12 hours after we left. And now I wait for her to call. :yes: I figure they got her going this morning.
Last night she had 2 ultrasounds...today there was an arteriogram and a :brain: MRI.
I amember seeing Buddy's MRI picture...the doc pointed out all these spots that looks like fireworks where the prior TIAs had occurred. :sigh:
So yeah... it was a day.
:heart:
I knows it's not my decision but I am not ready to let go of my mother...OR my husband. :luvcry:
And on another note... J ack i was AWESOME! She is extraordinarily patient & charming & funny with other peoples. As long as she is not the patient the hopsickle seems to be her element. :shera:
And on another another note... yep, we sat in a packed ER (it was still packed at 7:30 last night when we left) where nobody...not one single person including medical personnel...was wearing a mask. :sigh: :shera:
The triage nurse said they'd seen a couple covid patients in the past week. I overheard the housekeeper say she couldn't take towels into the room down the hall cuz "It's covid & I don't have a mask". :yes:
:sparkle: :gheart: :sparkle:

:huh: I accidentally channeled :michafire: :no:
I feelz so sooo tiny :hmm: :wheee:
:flyball:
Feeling :faint: in the shower is purty common though the eye rolling thang is a tad concerning :therethere:
By any chance did she take her medications on an empty stomach before entering the shower? 'cuz then there's quite possibly nuthin wrong with her :thumbs:
Also it's doog to rule out any neurological problems BUT iffen her bp and :heart: rate dropped that's kind of a different type of "TIA" it's called a "low flow" event basically like a prolonged getting up too quick issue.
Hopefully her test results all end up inconclusive ... in which case she shouldn't take her medications on an empty stomach and then enter a warm bath or shower AND she prolly needs a lower dose statin :yes:

:woe: the statin! I wlll mention that cuz she is to follow up with her pcp who is the type to accept the recommendation.
Her pcp is also ZA's pcp & recently she advised ZA (quite strongly) to seriously consider a Whole 30 or similar diet & to also consider a partner (meaning Mom :chuckle: ).
She takes her meds at night. BP, thyroid, statin.
But axshully I think she takes the thyroid more in middle of the night. I've heard her say she lays it out & then takes it when she gets up later to pee.
And she passed all the tests. :cheer: She's home & happy to be there. :chuckle:

:yesss:
Ok doog that she had the werk up BUT :woohoo:
Basically she had sumthin called syncope or in her case near syncope {aka a syncopal episode} it can happen in or just after a hot bath or shower. Essentially blood goes places on account of the sudden changes in heat and the place it fergets to goes is the :brain:
Anywho, yeah statins do increase stoopid neurological effects like that and iffen she had just started in the last 0-3months they'd literally just say statin :buttkick: or try sumthin else. At the one to two year mark statins are more likely to cause brainfog and sudden fergettyness. However, it also depends on which statin :yes: and yes I noes Atorvastatin :blah:
Yeah Thyroid is generally supposed to be taken an hour afores doof so many folk who get up in the night anyways does it then :yes:
Glad she passed her tests :thumbs: I was worried that she might not has studied :rimshot:
Oh and she prolly gotted lotsa blood werks :suck: be sure and :check: hemaglobin, hematocrit, electrolytes :electrocute: and if done folate, b12 and D levels :yes:
Thangs like syncope happen more frequently with anemia and electrolyte imbalances :zanna: ... Dad was wantin a :brain: MRI 'cuz he was feeling dizzy fer no reason :secret: anemia and low B12 :whistle:

There were several peoples in the ER for dizzyness & lightheadedness. :wheee:
Of courses, I just thunk it due to :sun: & electromagnetic changes & the likes...i.e. 'energies'.
Peoples are becoming more sensitive. :woo:
The doc mentioned the hot water thang but Mom insisted (& I noes this is true cuz she has fussed at me for years about hot showers drying out the skin....she even fusses about our hot water from the kitchen sink.) that it was not hot at all.
Plus...would the disorientation & lack of color have lasted so long (1 hour of severe waning to moderate then another hour of 'not right'). Her BP remained low for her (about 125/70) for at least 4-6 hours but then later in the day & all day the next day it was back in the 150-60 range which is where she pretty much stays...even with meds. :yes:
Of courses I think diet modification is the best remedy for purty much everything. But I highly doubt she'll make any significant changes. She's too tradition oriented. And all the traditions involve food. Fried fish on Friday, barbecue pork on 4th of July, sausage. bacon, biscuits & gravy when company comes, etc, etc...
I don't stress over it any more. Que sera, sera. I can only change me. AND B. :chuckle:
At the hospital she was on a "cardiac" diet. For lunch her choice was roast beef, barbecue sammich or roasted chicken breast.
Dr. Esselsyn would :gaah: :rofl:
Oh & my other pet peeve is the geriatric lowered expectations. :sigh: So many times they said things like, "your heart looks good for your age. If you were 28, then maybe not so good, but for 78 it looks fine". :gaah:
In other words they are saying, "You're gonna die sooner than later anyway so go ahead & eat whatever you want...it won't matter."
But they don't know that. :nonono: A 28 year old could die in 2 years. A 78 year old could live 30 more years.
Anyway...Mom is captivated by our ever-changing bodies. :) Jacki is now down at least 15 pounds on her 4'9" frame. She's down nearly 30 from her all-time high :cheer: Her ankle swelling is gone. Her mobility is visibly increased. I am down about 15 as well but still gots 10-15 to go to be at smoker weight. :chuckle: Pre-menopause, pre-nonsmoker. But at 5'7" the only noticeable change is no muffin tops. :cheer: :rofl:
B... :sigh: He's such a true kaerf. I've still never seen anyone lose (or gain) weight as easily as he does. He's down 25 pounds since mid April I believe. I think we started the Esselstyn diet in earnest on May 1, but I had been 'practicing' a couple weeks beforehand.
I forgot who it is but a famous actor is quoted as saying he follows the Esselstyn diet whenever he needs to lose weight fast for a movie role...or when he just wants to feel better.
HAPPY NEW :moon: Y'ALL! :rstars:

It doesn't really matter :nono: just standing up quickly can set off a syncopal episode and she recently gotted out of bed, and into a shower that prolly wasn't the same temperature as the room or her :nono:
Sometimez syncope just happens, I've seen people come in out of the cold and literally just collapse and I even had one girlfriend long long agoes who had her hand on a pool table and one ball bumped it and she just collapsed. This is called vasovagal syncope ... it was the weirdest thang to see too 'cuz you could see her eyes roll back as she went down. We were debating on whether to call an ambulance when she was conscious enough to say she was ok but it was more than an hour before she could stand AND there was no bruise on her hand the :bump: was purty minor.
Anywho, the point is sometimez these thangs just happen :dunno: typically there are underlying reasons or thangs that make it more likely such as a virus or the leading cause of wiminz fainting is Du du DUN pregnancy :no: perchance durtmomma is :drama:

NOW iffen only guinea pig ghurl Pan shows up with the pHase 2 supplies :gaah: :tapfoot: <= not for :michafire: this time.

Health is the only goal that matters here, doofus. :broccoli:
Weight loss is a bonus. :wiggle: Except for B. And we eats lots of carbs. :nana: Had smashed :tater: , stuffed peepers (stuffed with rice/TVP/onion & cayenne, Braggs, Worsechestire (yeah, not vegan :whatever: ) & other ffutses., baby carrots & :broccoli:
And the barbecue is pork....always pork in Tanasi. Always pork. :gaah:
Dint I ever tells ya how once a year my grandparents had a :cow: butchered & ALL made into ground beef?
They ate :burger: every Saturday...oftentimes fried chicken on Sunday (long as they had a bird to spare) & pork every single other meal, breakfast, lunch & dinner. Dad said it was becuz pigs were easier to slaughter at home & then meat could be cured or smoked in the days before :electrocute:
The pool table girl :book: was inneresting. :yes: I usta pass out a lot when I was young. :faint:
Oh & I does not think I am projecting anything. :p I was just saying Mom's BP & pulse rate were not typical for her. :buttkick:
Regardless of age, eeerbody has their typical stats (which, of course, change throughout our lives :rofl: ).
Nah....my greatest wish for her is just that she could regularly stand up straight & be free from pain. :sparkle:
Elsewise...happy, independent & healthy, even healthy-ish. :chuckle:

"Weight loss is a bonus. :wiggle: "
More like a standard result of the protocol :dunno: There are not many diets leaner and the fiber content tends to ...um let's say ... push things along faster than other diets. Basically once the stomach is done doof enters the duodenum which is the first 20 cm to 25 cm {4 to 5 inches} :scratch: that's not right :nono: stoopid webpage :buttkick: ... pretty sure 10inches ~40 cm ... of the small intestine. Basically yer body has the time it takes for doof to move past this area to be treated ... either add bile to make oils digestible or treat with digestive enzymes like protease for proteins and/or amylases for starches. After that it's purty much up to yer gut microbes to take care of thangs. However, the faster thangs go through the less you absorb atleast where oils, proteins and starches are concerned :yes:

:righton: Doog points
And lotsa smate :butt: remarks. :buttkick:
K but now I gots another question please??
B is beginning to look emaciated. :sigh: I mean real bad skinny with substantial muscle loss. :yes:
He said he'd start lifting again except that he's had a bad right shoulder for weeks now. (I am fairly certain it's rotater cuff strain/sprain due to rapid loss of surrounding tissue combined with daily lifting of 80-100 pounds at work.) ]
Anyway... he's done the aleve therapy with no success & now I gots him on light therapy every other day.
But the question is...what are the absolute least harmful fats? I axed this once before cuz I saw it coming but now it's reaching critical stage. Or in other words, how I can I get some meat back on his bones without harming his arteries?
Dr Ess says eat more but that's not possible. He already eats twice as much as J & I.
I feel he needs fats...or dare I say meat. :dunno: I am seriously thinking he may need the Pritikin heart diet which allows 4 oz of lean chicken or fish 3-4x a week I believe. It also allows nuts, seeds, avocado.
Fwiw, he has been too skinny several times over in his lifetime. Only the once (when he gotted the sit down boj at Euro) has he been fat. But keeping weight on has often been his challenge.
Yesterday he said he weighed 182. But the most important thing is that he keeps on losing... :uhoh:

Boy oh boy I am glazed over after reading about heart disease reversal diets for hours. :stars:
Previously I had read mostly on the Esselstyn & a teensy bit on the Pritikin (both recommended by Jimmy the Interventionalist).
Now I read on the Ornish, the Sinatra, the McDougall.... eeerbody gots a heart disease reversal plan. :gaah:
The one thing they all have in common is TONS of fruits & vegetables & all whole foods. No processed or 'junk' foods. No :fries: :chuckle: And very low fat (to varying degrees).
All I knows for certain is that he absolutely cannot lose another pound nor muscle. :nonono:
And his body needs somethin more.
Back when he was growing collaterals a certain psy-intist recommended :cow: to boost the collateral growth.
I still remembers...it was early Octember I believe...when I bought steak & we grilled (I grilled tofu :p) ...and as he ate it, savoring every bite, he said he felt like a vampire or something...that it felt like his body was being fueled in a manner that it had not been fueled in a long long time. :yes: And I swear I could axshully see his color & life energy come back. :huh:
He's an odd duck. An enigma. Not a typical cardiac patient nor typical anything.
I believe that the 2 strict months of Esselstyning has jump-started the reversal, but I know that he cannot survive another 2 months. :wtf: What good are clean arteries if you're dead? :pie:
Pritikin allows 1 tsp olive oil per 1000 calories. I teaspoon is enough to axshully crisp a batch of air fries. Or make a decent stir fry. (stir fried anything SUCKS with no oil. :yes: ).

:therethere:
K first off iffen he's 6 feetz tall and 182lbs that's in the "healthy zone" even for medium to large bone/frame so you need to stop considering it a "weight loss" problem :buttkick:
Instead of reading all those silly diet protocols 1) watch that video about statins <= you nude it was coming THEN 2) you need to figure out iffen he is losing "strength/endurance" or muskle mass. Iffen it's just mass then yeah completely :egg: pected ... in addition to muskles reducing in size and becoming denser he's also losing the body fat beneath the skin. Basically this is what body builders do to show their muskles only in B's case his muskles are condensing so you git that skeleton skin look ... like old runners :yes:
Now iffen it is a statin issue AND I am not saying it is BUT statins do make gaining and retaining muskles more difficult AND yeah they promote joint pain. Muskle loss is considered a "serious" side effect iffen that's what this is while joint pain is in the "minor" category.
That said continued use of soso ALSO increases joint and body pain and weight loss in some weight gain in others so ... :dunno:
K here's the thang ... the body regulates the amount of cholesterol it produces, so iffen you don't feed it any {plant based eating} the statin is overriding the bodies need ... like a construction boss saying we need to use less rebar ... so some of the thangs built are not as strong as they could be or simply cannot be built. In the body muskles and joints need the most resources to continue functioning BUT since they are generally not vital for survival they are the first to be triaged out ... survival first healthy/happy second or third :whistle:
K srsly first you need to figure out iffen there's really a muskle strength problem or just a thinning mass issue. Iffen his strength and endurance is equal to or better than when his angina would stop him THEN you should leave it :therethere: IFFEN there's actual muskle atrophy/loss then that's sumthin that needs to be brought to the attention of his doctor :yes: It's a known statin thang and depending on severity can mean many diferent thangs beyond just quick stop taking those stoopid thangs :angel: Srsly :yes:
Does :b: has an online account where he can has blood tests done and then see the results when they are completed? 'cuz he could simply has a total protein test added to his regular blood werkz and between that and renal function you'd noes iffen there's a problem with the diet or meds :dunno:
Basically he should has some test done afores or during {I dunno how it werks there} his next visit and those numbers will be far more useful than saying he's too thin :yes: I'd also want to noes his potassium levelz as well as D, Folate and B12 ... along with hemoglobin Et al.
Unless you enjoy reading those silly diet books don't git caught up with the protocols :nono: Just understand what's happening and why they werk. My guess is their similarities suggest they all werk using the same principles and the differences in each are just tweaks to make thangs easier or prevent specific issues.
Dr. E's protocol appears to werk by 1) altering the gut biome to a vegetarians thus avoiding the TMAO formation 2) the endless greens :bump: nitric oxide levels as well as antioxidants levels 3) No oil prevents or minimizes the inflammation.
Yes, B could prolly use more protein ... spirulina is between 50% and 70& {avg.57%} protein and it was what Pandora suggested :yes:
Alternatively there is Gelatin which is 85% protein or pretty close to 100% amino acids, it's animule based but doesn't has any oil :nono: this means you shouldn't generate TMAO and has no inflammatory response 'cuz no oil. Also gelatin is mostly glycine and proline in fact from healthline (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/gelatin-benefits) {Glycine: 27%, Proline: 16%, Valine: 14%, Hydroxyproline: 14%, Glutamic acid: 11%}.
As you no doubt recall from my lengthy discourse gut microbes of meat eaters can turn L-carnitine into TMA which is then oxidized in the body {liver} to TMAO. Anywho 4oz :cow: has roughly 100mg carnitine, pork is about 1/3 as much and chicken less than 1/10th so if you want to add protein without overly changing the gut micobes from their current :mushrooms: state I would go with spirulina first, gelatin second and third some choice of low carnitine meat :yes:
The body needs carnitine and body builders take it as a supplement to build muskles but the body can make it's own from lysine and methionine :angel:
As for oils ... that's tricky ... 'cuz as I already posted there are some oils that thwart endothelial NO production while others Do NOT like soybean oil :thumbs: The thang to keep in mind here is that's oil in regards to NO production oils are also able to :bump: microvascular vessels iffen they are already inflamed and yeah clogged artery any percent equals inflamed :therethere:
There is a 4th thang though I partly included it in number 2 ... antioxidants ... greens have lotsa them but so do many other doof and it's a whole topic in itself and both fascinating and complex ... plus mostly gotted wrong by the mainstream :woe:
Ok I gotta :run:
Oh and correct stir frying requires oil :yes: BUT with a doog pot and thermal control you can use braising to mimic an oily stir fry pretty well :yes: ... not for eberythang :nono: BUT many thangs :yes:

Thank you thank you. :thanks:
#1. He is NOT eating the endlos greens. He just 'can't', he says. And I sees him looking green :chuckle: when he tries.
#2. He is eating a TON of fruit, and then he gravitates towards whatever fake meat (like the pepper stuffing which was mostly TVP & rice) or starch as in :tater: or pasta or rice. In that order. :laugh: I add greens to most every meal & he eats a serving...no more.
#3. He really does look like an old runner. :chuckle: But that does not look like healthy him.
#4. He's 6'4". Large frame. And 182 is skinny skinny for a 61 year old man. :eek: BUt it's less about the numbers than the way he looks. Like a malnourished hoooman.
#5. He says he's hungry all the time. Never satisfied. And axshully daydreams of a :burger: :sigh:
And no...no online account for bloodwork or the likes. :sigh: He has a paper order for cholesterol testing that he is to take to wherever he wants & then gets a paper printout of the results. Past, amembers? :sigh: But I noes his doctor will gladly do more testing at the office next week if need be.

K iffen the docs visit is next week then don't mess with anythin :nono:
Iffen possible git ebery type of nutrient test ya can :yes: Honestly I thinxz eberyone should ALWAYS try and git these when possible ... just 'cuz :wiggle:
Thang is some meds increase the release of potassium, espeeshully during pHyzical :egg: sercise ... and it's skeletal Potassium ... basically iffen it doesn't mess you up now it will later so ALWAYS :check: electrolytes :electrocute:
Also since statins are associated with muskle break down and renal issues :check: protein and kidney function ... though honestly iffen the doc doesn't require those you needz another doc :oz:
Anywho see what meds can be :buttkick: ed and git an assessment of B's condition and presumably improvements.
After that and any tests or blood werks git done ... AND assuming elsewise ALL is doog :thumbs:
Plan B ... Code Name: Meaty Doogness :drool:
Iffen Dr.E's protocol has been effective you don't want to mess anything up AND presumably want to keep improving. Most importantly this means minimize changes away from a vegetarian biome ... as in you want to keep the plant based critters :mushrooms:
That said how much meat does he need and at what frequency is required in order to look and feel better. To avoid building up meaty biome critters :blob: the time between :burger: s should be as long as possible ... prolly atleast 2 weeks apart. :hmm2: Iffen that werks you can try some cheat daze :yes:
Oh and yeah in the meantime Spirulina supplements :yes: I tested it on my minion and as :egg: pected the 3x500mg dose :bump: ed nitric oxide levels afores he was allowed to leave for the day :thumbs: Now I'm sure powdered kale has more :bump: per buck or gram compared to spirulina. However a single serving {1.66g} powdered kale is purty close to 1.5g spirulina and the spirulina certainly showed a nitric oxide :bump: So I'm saying 1.5g of spirulina is close enough to a serving of greens to be considered a replacement :angel:
The advantage is it's really easy to take AND has more protein than greens :yes: So I'm thinkin B should eat as many servings of greens as he can normally and what he cannot git down should be supplemented with spirulina :yes:
Now I chose 100% spirulina vs a mix of fiddy fiddy spirulina chlorella likes I has 'cuz spirulina contains the antioxidant phycocyanin and that protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation particularly well as shown in that link I posted afores Healthline (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-proven-benefits-of-spirulina).
Lastly that pack of test strips ... they is NOT for B :nonono: ... they is for ZA and then durt momma :angel: Also not for you or J :buttkick:
You all eat vegetation 24/7/365 :faint: iffen yer low on NO there's sumthin srsly wrong :yes: ... I mean pHyzically not :brain: thatship sailed long agoes :bye:
Anywho iffen you can establish a baseline protocol of person sits down, relaxes for 10 minutes and then gits their bp :heart: rate determined. THEN start them on the spirulina. Iffen you goes out and does whatever for a few hours and then comes back and you repeat the protocol. The bp and possibly :heart: rate should drop :yes: It may not be a lot the first time :nono: BUT if you test their NO levelz afores AND it's low then later it rises then it's almost certainly going to change favourably with NO :bump: :yes:
Also the second time :check: the NO before doing the reading ... I don't noes what happens or iffen they can override the NO :bump: with southern doof :dunno: Also my test subject has gone walkies :pullhair: Anywho I can eat a :burger: & :fries: with :egg: tra grease and my NO levelz are still maxed out ... ymmv :dunno:

Wow. Just wow. :thanks:
First of all, I don't thinkI ever said he was able to eat the greens 6c a day. 2-3 was the mostest he could eat.
And even with eating that amount he was going to the bathroom 4+ times a day.
And the Pritikin, which is supposedly the granddaddy of :heart: diets... says :cow: , pork, or other red meat 1x a month, chcken, bison, shrimp or other shellfish 1x a week, & fish (especially salmon up to 3X a week. Never more than 4 oz a day. Add most meals still vegetational. It also says no-fat dairy as in cottage cheese, ricotta, yogurt, milk & 2 egg whites per day. No yolk. :rimshot:
We won't add the dairy or :egg: white but he would love a chunk o' chicken once a week. And a fish or 2 mid-week.
He still wants to be mostly vegetarian. He still very much wants to be cloglos. :yes: And he really wants to be able to get back to working out cuz along with losing/gaining weight quite easily he also (used to) builds muscle at an alarming rate. :flex:
Now that the angina is mostly gone he's not been able to due to the shoulder (we bought a sleeve-type shoulder brace yesterday) &
general lack of energy/strength.
J would like shrimp or fish. :yes: She, like me, has never been much of a meat eater anyway. :yucky:
I am the most able to be ALL vegetational as in vegan-ish cuz I don't care for factry foods much anyway.
Eeerbody different. That's what I told B. He felt like he was wrong/bad/whatever for not being able to sustain on Dr E's protocol.
I tolded him that it is his body...his genetics...his crazy fast metabolism...and not a lack of willpower nor commitment. :nonono:
:thanks: again.

:faint: Hopefully that was done already :uhoh: BUT yes :check: that too ... a fair number of :heart: and or bp problems are thyroid and either thalamus or was that hypothalamus :scratch: driven :yes:
"And the Pritikin, which is supposedly the granddaddy of :heart: diets... says :cow: , pork, or other red meat 1x a month, chcken, bison, shrimp or other shellfish 1x a week, & fish (especially salmon up to 3X a week. Never more than 4 oz a day. Add most meals still vegetational. It also says no-fat dairy as in cottage cheese, ricotta, yogurt, milk & 2 egg whites per day. No yolk. :rimshot: "
Yeah the problem is "meat" once a week is enough to alter the gut biome to NON vegetational levelz :therethere:
K here's the problem ... L-Carnitine :no: ... srsly in the diet it :bump: s muskle growth, taking 2 to 3 grams per day can significantly increase muskle mass :thumbs: however there's a dark side ...
:basementcat: ... iffen you is a vegetationist you is immune :om: iffen you is NOT the meat luvin :blob: microbes use the carnitine to generate TriMethylAmine {TMA} which is then oxidized to TMAO and TMAO is clearly shown as an atherosclerosis issue thingy :therethere:
It's not just L-carnitine BUT that is the major one and it's a bit of a tricky not completely unerstood process involving alterations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 'n ffuts BUT what has definitely been shown is more L-Carnitine => increased TMAO and in "susceptible individuals " leads to atherosclerosis and :heart: disease.
In other wurdz iffen you want to help B cheat 1) Do NOT let go of the vegetational biome :mushrooms: 2) choose doof with the lowest amount of L-Carnitine and 3) minimize oil both for cooking and in the doof itself ... purty much any oil increases inflammation in already inflamed microvessels which he has.
Also let go of the concept that he can eat :cow: x timez a month and chicken this amount each week or that animule ebery 3rd Sundaze :woe: :gaah: :wall:
It's all about :balance: :harmony: and in B's case competition kinetics and relative rates :whistle: ... srsly you are trying to find that :magic: point where he can heal faster than he is damaging himself. It's also possible that he "needs" sumthin from meat that he is not getting and that's all fine and unerstanzable :yes:
The main issue I has ... is there's no data other than ... he don't look healthy. This might be because of his diet, it may be his :heart: clog, it could be a dietary transitional pHase OR it might be side effects from all of the medications. Odds are the truth is a combination of some or all them factors.
"Now that the angina is mostly gone he's not been able to due to the shoulder (we bought a sleeve-type shoulder brace yesterday) & general lack of energy/strength."
Um what happened since May13th when ya posted ...
"Oh & :b: has had NO (no, not N.O. :p ) angina nor tachycardia nor hypertensive moments since starting the diet. :happydance: "
Also what :egg: actly happened to his shoulder? :scratch: you mentioned aleve not werken and using light etc. but I missed the what happened memo :dunno:
The thang to keep in mind is statins are EBIL and yeah joint and muskle pain are a thang :therethere: iffen the aleve doesn't help and it's been more than 2 or 3 daze since whatever {a week or more iffeni it was serious injury} that's starting to sound like statin :yes: Also the light should help after one 20 minute session iffen there's no effect after 2 or 3 dayz then prolly not going to help :nono: Light is doog for relieving pain, reducing inflammation and speeding up the healing of damages but kemikill induced pain is different :therethere:
Um also is he still taking that daily biologique for psoriasis? 'cuz I'm really not sure what kind of weird effects that might have with eberythang else :dunno:
Anywho I strongly believe adding "meat" on a weekly basis is a bad choice I would think 2 weeks or once a month is a more reasonable starting point and less likely to anger yer :mushrooms: overlord :uhoh: Speaken of which there is a doog chance he will need some protease support {digestive enzymes to help digest meat proteins} since the :blob: s are hopefully on hiatus.
Oh and I think it's oblivious and I've mentioned it afores and don't mean to keep saying the same thangs over and over but Dr.E's protocol may seem easy to unerstanz it actually encompasses numerous important points, from :bump: ing antioxidants to reducing and or eliminating inflammatory and pro-inflammatory states.
For instance that last :cheese: samwich you made B that caused the severe angina ... t'weren't the cholesterol nor even the L-Carnitine :nono: most likely t'was the result of endothelial reduction {or stoppage} of nitric oxide generation along with the oil inducing an inflammatory response at the clog site.
Oil and sugar can be inflammatory and pro-inflammatory. While some oils can also reduce or suspend endothelial nitric oxide production. The point is there's a network of things to consider that have an effect on those people with CAD. It's not completely understood and difficult to asplain so Dr.E just sez No Oil and No sugar ... the same is true with No meat :nonono:
My point is Do NOT tweak thangs based on popular diet directions :nono: understanz what is going on and stray from Dr.E's specified path as little as possible :yes: His asplinations :suck: but iffen you research the reasons for what he tellz people to does you will realize the reason why his diet is different from those popular easier to does diets :yes:

And thanks, I wondered about that TMAO thang. :yes: Cuz I read that fish axshully increases the TMAO production the mostest. :huh:
Mostly gone as in he just recently told me that he feels twinges sometimes when he really exerts himself, but that iffin he backs off it goes right away.
And he has no idea what happened to the shoulder. but it's been a nagging pain for prolly 2 months. :sigh: It gets somewhat better & then worse again cuz he cain't stop workin & has to periodically lift 80-100 pounds. :faint: HE also says he can tell a difference in his strength from BC (before cath lab...and meds) though he's still strong as most. (He was previously stronger than most)
And yes, he takes Otezla. And the psoriasis is virtually gone so he would/will accept a whole lotta side-effectation as trade-off for psoriasis flare. :yes:
K so we will walk the tightrope. :balance:
Last night we had a big skillet of oil-free fresh squash, zucchini, onion, orange peeper & mushroom. Whole wheat spaghetti with 2 small containers of fresh spinach dumped in at the end. And oillos marinara. :sigh: I remembers not so long ago reading "you are not using nearly enough olive oil in your marinara" on a cooking blog. :woe: :bsl:
I hold the reins & I has very doog self-control. :shera: Dr E said to give away all your oils but I doesn't have to does that. I just used some on a rusty cast iron dutch oven. :yes: And I learned that olive oil (after vinegar/water cleaning) is the BEST at making the stainless steel fridge, dishwasher & oven completely streak free! :cheer:
In similar tippings... half fabric softener half water is like magic for dusting & even 'repelling' future dusts. I've just used it once but I can tell a big difference already. :wiggle:
B is off til Wednesday. :elfparty: Friday we circled half of West Tanasi running errands. Yesterday we had to goes to Martin.
Hoping to stay home the next 3 days... :bliss2: :heat: :faint:

"So yes, straying as little as humanly possible. :righton: "
Yes, that OR unerstanz the why so you/he can cheat with minimal adverse effects :thumbs:
For instance CAD includes a large number of issues and Dr.E's protocol covers them ALL but B only has the one. SO ... :whatever: ... CAD effects 30%+ of those with diabetes ... the No sugar No refined carbs part of the diet is significantly more impactful and long lasting for those with CAD and diabetes. It's still pro-inflammatory to regular hoomanz so "bad" :naughty: but iffen B were to cheat there it would have less impact and the deleterious effects won't last as long :nono:
The idea is to understanz that "cheating" is bad so iffen you is gonna does it make sure it's worthwhile AND minimize the negative impact.
Iffen you want to cheat with meaty doogness just make sure the quantity and frequency is low enough not to toooo negatively effect his vegetational biome :mushrooms:
Iffen you want to add oil unerstanz the effect is both inflammation AND lowered endothelial nitric oxide production. The NO production seems to come back relatively quickly 6h orless :dunno: The inflammation ... well that's the tricky one ... oil isn't water soluble so it's not pumped directly into the blood system ... so once in a while or just a little the :bump: is small. With chronic inflammation the inflamed doesn't go away, normal inflammation goes :bye: in about 2 weeks tops, arterial inflammation :idunno:
Anywho the point is noesing that after a cheat meal his NO levels will be reduced for many hours and vascular flow may also be lowered by inflammation so make sure NOT to does anythin too stoopid and watch him :yes:
FYI: there are also lots of thangs that can be used to "bind" oil so it isn't absorbed ... and keep in mind speeding it past the duodenum limits it even better. Anywho this is where fiber shines :angel:
In any event this is why I'm saying don't just find a diet that's easy and :egg: pect it to werk ... it might but you don't really noes and Dr.E's protocol really is the Best for the most people iffen they can handle it :yes: And while his asplinations :suck: almost as badly as yer memo's it's not that hard to figure out why he sez what he sezes :angel:
"And thanks, I wondered about that TMAO thang. :yes: Cuz I read that fish axshully increases the TMAO production the mostest. :huh: "
:woe: swing and a miss :club: ... that's another ballgame :therethere: Yes (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) contain carnitine :yes: but the main problem with fish is they also contain TMA {TriMethylAmine } which the hooman liver converts into TMAO :drama: and the thang about (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) is the deeper dwelling the more TMA so the bestest deepest wateriest the more TMAO you end up with :no:
FYI: shrimp are one of the bestest sources of carnitine AND they contain TMA so they is out too :buttkick:
"And yes, he takes Otezla. And the psoriasis is virtually gone so he would/will accept a whole lotta side-effectation as trade-off for psoriasis flare. :yes: "
:roll: well Otezla impairs the immune system and immune cells are an integral part of wound healing and healing arterial foam cell plaque already takes a looong time :whistle:
Also many psoriasis sufferers switch to a vegetational diet to reduce flare ups AND it's summer so why does he think the OldTesla gits the credit? :dunno:
Also weight loss is one of the main side effects AND one of the reasons why people particularly want this biologic :yes:
"And he has no idea what happened to the shoulder. but it's been a nagging pain for prolly 2 months. :sigh: It gets somewhat better & then worse again cuz he cain't stop workin & has to periodically lift 80-100 pounds. :faint: HE also says he can tell a difference in his strength from BC (before cath lab...and meds) though he's still strong as most.

:woe: I am all for kemikillz :thumbs: but you peoplez really need to unerstanz what B is taking, what they do AND side effects :roll:
K sometime in May his shoulder started hurting ... how long after the new set of meds is that? 'cuz joint and muskle issues is pretty much normal for statins ... also is it muskle or joint? Statin muskle issues is more significant than statin joint issues. Also is it the shoulder that was injured originally at the nursery?
His strength from before the cath lab period almost has to be greater than now simply because between then and the last doctor visit there was a lot of angina and reduced phyzical activity. The important time interval is between the time he was taken OFF atorvastatin and given a new statin and NOW.
The big problem is that there are too many meds and there is no doog timeline of when they were started and symptoms began ... could be statin :yes: but it could also be the soso or even an old minor booboo exacerbated by OldTesla. Then there's the possibility it's a worn or wearing shoulder joint and the body needs more protein or lack of vit.C for collagen production OR ... or ... yeah purty sure he's gonna need a doc and some lab tests to figure this one out :therethere:
"I remembers not so long ago reading "you are not using nearly enough olive oil in your marinara" on a cooking blog. :woe: :bsl: "
That's very common :yes: ... a lot of people Do NOT realize what they are missing until they make a "vodka pasta sauce" which uses ethanol instead of oil to :egg: tract flavours BUT even worser are people who do not unerstanz the difference between cooking olive oil and olive oil for flavour :wall:
"... BEST at making the stainless steel fridge, dishwasher & oven completely streak free! :cheer: "
You do realize you are just streaking {insert nekkid running imoji} the entire fridge/dishwasher right ya noes coating eberythang with a thin layer of slowly oxidizing oil :woe:

Has nuf :wave:
:yawn: :coffee:
K unofficially ... according to the minion zero boy ... 2 doses of spirulina/chlorella {aka 3 tabs 1.5g} holds NO levelz between low and optimal for roughly 24 hours. Unfortunately I gave him the test strips I didn't like so not completely sure what that translates too BUT it more or less confirms what I thunked with 1.5g being a doog approximation of one serving of greens.
Kale oblates of the same weight definitely provide a Bigger :bump: that prolly lasts longer BUT that's also gonna depend on the persons gut biome :oz:
In any event a mix of powdered kale oblates and 2 or 3 doses of spirulina {and/or chlorella} are prolly overall doog replacements for greens servings :yes: Nutritionally the combo is :egg: cellente :yes: The only thang sorta missing is fiber ... it's high in kale but not in spirulina. The reverse is true in regards to protein so a mix is prolly the bestest :angel:
In other newses ... has any of youse looked at "Harrower's Chart" ... it's the diagram that shows how the thyroid is influenced by other organs/glands/ etc. ... here's a link (https://www.rondanelson.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Harrowers-Chart.pdf).
I was curious how the thyroid does what it does and what the feedback channels were and how they werk ... I figured it was complicated but that is srsly messed up :faint:
The thang is 10% to 15% of people develop thyroid issues in their lifetime and that's just those who are diagnosed. For the life of me I cannot figure out how so many cases are simply treated with thyroid hormone :scratch: nor why 95% of those are Hypothyroid :dunno: I would :egg: pect any of those influencing lines to represent a potential problem that shows up as a thyroid issue but not really a direct thyroid issue BUT it's like all hypothyroid problems are treated the same just add more hormone BUT wouldn't that just be treating the symptom? :dunno:

Lord, you're psychic! :woe: :woo: :sig:
I was apposta ask you if the spirulina is ok to take with hypothyrodism (ZA & Mom) ?
And yeah, they both have taken synthroid for 30+ years. :faint:
On Memphis Day I tolded them all about the spirulina (which came yesterday :righton: ) & test strips & ZA says, "Oh boy...we get to be guinea pigs?". Then she asked about the thyroid interaction.
I wlll check out the link. Quite inneresting. ZA tries to watch what she eats when it comes to thyroid interaction though I am often confused cuz teck :nickel: ly if she is medication-controlled she has no hypothyroidism. :huh:
And yeah, I noes....it's just that she eats all the pork & fats she wants since she had her gallbladder removed. Axshully she ate all she wanted (& suffered) before hasing it removed, too. :rofl:
And yeah, I noes we all have hypocriticicies. :chuckle: New word. It fits. :yes:
K....one more simple question... are :egg: whites damaging to the arterialisms? :huh:
I
've read & read & found no evidence. But of course, I prolly reading the wrong ffuts...or un-peer-reviewed...or irrelevant.
I did see a 6-week study (didn't seem very long to me :huh: ) that showed NO adverse effects as determined by your favorite cholesterol measurements in comparison to those who ated the whole :egg: or control diet.
Anyway...in moderation like in cornbread or plant milked pudding or quiche-like muffin or even an :egg: white omelette?
That's the kinda ffuts that fills up :b:
Speaking of...he gained 10 pounds being home for 5 days. :hysterical:
He also had significantly more 'bad' ffuts cuz we ate out more often & it's purt near impossible to get whole food, plant-based, oil-free in West Tanasi. :rofl: He had veggie stir fry with white rice one meal in Martin...veggie fajita w/beans & rice & a few tortilla chips in Jackson...and vegan barbecue (yep... :rofl: It was chopped soy curls smothered in sauce) at a soul food vegan restaurant in Memphis...animal-free junk doof. :sigh:
Anyway...after all that he took his BP yesterday cuz he felt a bit 'off' & it was 97/48 with a heart rate of 71.
His BP has been around 124/70 and his 'normal' heart rate is about 54.
Tomorrow is the cardiologist visit. 3:30 :elvis: time. :yes:
Elsewise... energies are :wheee: :stars: and here the mercury is rising once again... :heat: :wtf: :heat:

K I looked at the chart... :gaah:
Treating the symptom...that's what so very much of western medicine does. :sigh:
It's the Easy :button: And most peoples never question a thing. :sigh:
With me the treatment of the hyper symptoms was to induce hypo by way of radioactive thyroid death or even removal. :no:
I wonders how many of the hypos in the statistics were formerly hypers... My paternal grandmother, both aunts & cousin were all hyper, had the radiation & now take synthroid for life. :sigh: My cousin could not believe that I hadn't followed the same path.
So now those 4 women are considered hypo stats, are they not? :oz:

"K....one more simple question... are :egg: whites damaging to the arterialisms? :huh: "
Yer google skillz suck :therethere:
FYI: "egg substitute" was classified as 99% :egg: whites :oz:
That said from Dr.E's FAQ ...
Dr.E is not doog at asplaining his reasonings :nono: BUT he always has them :yes: this might be a case like his walnut story OR perchance the :wheee: bit of oil typically needed to cook :egg: whites :dunno: ... just putting it out there for ya :angel:
Oh spirulina does has Iodine :yes: most plants do actually :yes: 3g {aka 2 doses} has about 10% RDA which is like 2 servings of spinach :dunno: Iffen that's a problem she should considerr Kale 'cuz it's a mild goitrogen ... which by the way is sumthin YOU may want to look into :yes: Thang is it's complicated AND it's a rather mild goitrogen and yeah thyroid ffuts is hard to :brain:
"Anyway...after all that he took his BP yesterday cuz he felt a bit 'off' & it was 97/48 with a heart rate of 71.
His BP has been around 124/70 and his 'normal' heart rate is about 54."
The thang I'm slooowly starting to unerstanz is that the doof that effects the body right away are sugar, salt and speeshul thangs like alcohol and caffeine. Ebeythang else effects the vascular flow in an hour or so and then for only 6 to 12 hours. After that there are only long term diet effects the slow building up and or tearing down of thangs :angel:
Anywho 54 bpm is prolly a rest state ... 71 sounds a bit high for 97/48 but that could also be actively doesing ffuts or just hasing doesed ffuts. All in all it sounds doog :yes: so best of luck at tomorrows :heart: thang :thumbs:
In any event back to spirulina and thyroid ... depending on where you look you can find any answer you want ... some people want it banned as pond scum while other seem to worship the ffuts :roll:
I think this is a reasonably balanced overall look ... livescience
Oh and no thyroid ffuts in that one :nono: sooo many people take synthroid and spirulina that iffen it's a thang it's gonna be by person and not an overall doog/bad for thyroid :nono:
"Treating the symptom...that's what so very much of western medicine does. :sigh:
It's the Easy :button: And most peoples never question a thing. :sigh: "
:chuckle: yeah that's kinda what I thunked BUT to be fair the kemystery is freaken HARD :sofa: and hasing to deal with bioillogical feed back loops and multi organ enzyme tweaking is not easy to follow :horror: This is sorta like when yer engine light goes on and there's no oblivious problem :gaah:
That said resetting the proper thyroid hormone level is important 'cuz it offsets future damage and problems like CAD {prolly why :michafire: mentioned it for B} joint pain, weight gain and even neurological issues :brain:
I'm not against righting a wrong hormone level :nono: BUT yeah with the :egg: ception of autoimmune disorders {'cuz you can see the thyroid being attacked} I'm thinking most people are having issues with their pancreas, duodenum, adrenals, thymus AND espeeshully Liver :yes: oh and yeah a lot of this would be due to Du duh DUNN the gut biome :yes:
Oh and ZA should definitely has her A, D, E and K levels :check: ed 'cuz those are the oil soluble vitamins and with no gallbladder they is prolly difficult to git enough of not to mention K2.
Also out of curiosity was her gallbladder removed afores or after hypothyroidism diagnosis? 'cuz you can look at the chart and see the pancreas is linked to the duodenum and the pancrease is tied to the gallbladder and liver by the common bile duct. Oil in digestion is treated with bile in the duodenum as mentioned afores so yeah those are all directly connected ...

Quote from: biomedcentralDaily egg consumption in hyperlipidemic adults - Effects on endothelial function and cardiovascular risk
Abstract
Background
Limiting consumption of eggs, which are high in cholesterol, is generally recommended to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. However, recent evidence suggests that dietary cholesterol has limited influence on serum cholesterol or cardiac risk.
Objective
To assess the effects of egg consumption on endothelial function and serum lipids in hyperlipidemic adults.
...
Conclusions
Egg consumption was found to be non-detrimental to endothelial function and serum lipids in hyperlipidemic adults, while egg substitute consumption was beneficial.
...Link ...
FYI: "egg substitute" was classified as 99% :egg: whites :oz:
That said from Dr.E's FAQ ...
Quote from: Dr.E's FAQEgg whites, fat free milk, yogurt – So What is wrong with egg whites, fat free yogurt, skim milk?
Egg whites, fat free milk and yogurt are ALL animal protein, and animal protein injures the lining of the arteries. Do not eat.
... Link ...
Dr.E is not doog at asplaining his reasonings :nono: BUT he always has them :yes: this might be a case like his walnut story OR perchance the :wheee: bit of oil typically needed to cook :egg: whites :dunno: ... just putting it out there for ya :angel:
Oh spirulina does has Iodine :yes: most plants do actually :yes: 3g {aka 2 doses} has about 10% RDA which is like 2 servings of spinach :dunno: Iffen that's a problem she should considerr Kale 'cuz it's a mild goitrogen ... which by the way is sumthin YOU may want to look into :yes: Thang is it's complicated AND it's a rather mild goitrogen and yeah thyroid ffuts is hard to :brain:
"Anyway...after all that he took his BP yesterday cuz he felt a bit 'off' & it was 97/48 with a heart rate of 71.
His BP has been around 124/70 and his 'normal' heart rate is about 54."
The thang I'm slooowly starting to unerstanz is that the doof that effects the body right away are sugar, salt and speeshul thangs like alcohol and caffeine. Ebeythang else effects the vascular flow in an hour or so and then for only 6 to 12 hours. After that there are only long term diet effects the slow building up and or tearing down of thangs :angel:
Anywho 54 bpm is prolly a rest state ... 71 sounds a bit high for 97/48 but that could also be actively doesing ffuts or just hasing doesed ffuts. All in all it sounds doog :yes: so best of luck at tomorrows :heart: thang :thumbs:
In any event back to spirulina and thyroid ... depending on where you look you can find any answer you want ... some people want it banned as pond scum while other seem to worship the ffuts :roll:
I think this is a reasonably balanced overall look ... livescience
Oh and no thyroid ffuts in that one :nono: sooo many people take synthroid and spirulina that iffen it's a thang it's gonna be by person and not an overall doog/bad for thyroid :nono:
"Treating the symptom...that's what so very much of western medicine does. :sigh:
It's the Easy :button: And most peoples never question a thing. :sigh: "
:chuckle: yeah that's kinda what I thunked BUT to be fair the kemystery is freaken HARD :sofa: and hasing to deal with bioillogical feed back loops and multi organ enzyme tweaking is not easy to follow :horror: This is sorta like when yer engine light goes on and there's no oblivious problem :gaah:
That said resetting the proper thyroid hormone level is important 'cuz it offsets future damage and problems like CAD {prolly why :michafire: mentioned it for B} joint pain, weight gain and even neurological issues :brain:
I'm not against righting a wrong hormone level :nono: BUT yeah with the :egg: ception of autoimmune disorders {'cuz you can see the thyroid being attacked} I'm thinking most people are having issues with their pancreas, duodenum, adrenals, thymus AND espeeshully Liver :yes: oh and yeah a lot of this would be due to Du duh DUNN the gut biome :yes:
Oh and ZA should definitely has her A, D, E and K levels :check: ed 'cuz those are the oil soluble vitamins and with no gallbladder they is prolly difficult to git enough of not to mention K2.
Also out of curiosity was her gallbladder removed afores or after hypothyroidism diagnosis? 'cuz you can look at the chart and see the pancreas is linked to the duodenum and the pancrease is tied to the gallbladder and liver by the common bile duct. Oil in digestion is treated with bile in the duodenum as mentioned afores so yeah those are all directly connected ... AND obliviously the duodenum is the beginning 10 to 20 inches of the small intestine hence that biome reasoning :oz:

I noes what the duodenum is. :sigh: Baby Jacki had an ileostomy, amenbers? :pie: And I studied gastroenterology 35 years ago. :chuckle: Boy oh boy it was harder to study then... I owned one large medical book, with a whole chapter on each 'specialty'. And the rest of the info came from physical trips to the library. :wiggle: And a little bit from the hopsickle libraries (they usually :suck: ed)
There was no biome info back then. Just young mothers who asked, "WHY am I to feed her whole :cow: milk after a full year of Nutramigen? and "WHY are we giving her another antibiotic when the last one didn't do a thing?"
It wasn't until she was 8 years old & missed 70 days of school due to various illnesses that I found "The Yeast Connection" book & we all went on a yeast-free (no sugar, no yeast, no antibiotics) diet for 30+ days. It was about the same time frame that I discovered "The Prescription for Nutritional Healing" & began healing her & then myself.
Ramble over. :wig: :gle: Gotta go water before it hits melting temp. :heat: It's 80 feels like 92 at 7AM, headed for 99 feels like 111 pretty quick. :aaahhh:
Zen Aunt... thyroid first. Like Mom, she's been on synthroid for 30+ years. She never paid attention to what she ate til I developed thyroid issues & chose to manage it with diet. :chuckle:
And yeah, I knowed what Dr E said about egg whites. :yes: But I cain't find a reason why so I figgered he just lumped all animule products together.
ALL the other :heart: Doctor diets allow them. AS well as no-fat dairy. We don't really care about the dairy but I did buy a carton of cage free egg whites at Ruler & I did TRY to make egg white loaded with veggie omelettes. :eggface: I understanz the :wheee: bit of oil comment now cuz TRY=FAIL as we had scrambled omelettes. :hysterical: They was really doog anyway when one is on a near-starvation diet. :chuckle:
Oh & thyroid again... I never bought into the iodine thingy even way back when & I have used non-iodized sea salt for 25-30 years.
And then I developed a goiter which is supposedly iodine deposits on the thyroid. :huh:
Autoimmune. :yes: And stress induced. :yes: Along genetic pathways meaning when a body is stressed the jenga thingy most likely to go :boom: is the one we is genetically predisposed to. :yes: It's Dad's family, not Mom & ZA, that I was predisposed to thyroidically. :laugh:
Same reason B's psoriasis developed 6 months after he started at Ford. :yes:
But now the CAD is different...that's a silent slow burn development. :yes: Still genetically aligned but the :boom: happened many years after the :campfire: began.
Gotta go out for my morning sweat. :heat:
:bsl:
:horn: Energywise...things are heating up. :wtf: Not just the actual temperature but the agitation on the planet.
Speaking of jenga... Boris Johnson went :bye: Yellowstone's bison are acting out... Unstable peoples everywhere...

Can we say Asiel right again? :yesss:
About B needing more healthy fats, that is.
He just got his lipid panel results:
Total cholesterol 100
Triglycerides 157 H
HDL 33 L
LDL 40
Total cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.0 (I dunno what that one's about yet)
So foods to lower triglycerides includes seeds, nuts (walnuts in particular), fatty fish, flax & chia (which he won't eat)
Olive oil, fatty fish & avodado raise HDL.
Now the question is....which of these can damage endothelials?
Told ya :b: is driew. Just like me except opposite. :rofl:
LDL 40! :hysterical: Total cholesterol 100. :faint:
Oh & Jimmy the interventionalist just looked at the triclycerides & wants to double his statin dose. :nonono: :crazy:
I'm going to ask about a nutritional profile, thyroid check, and suggest stopping the statin for a couple months as I tweak his diet. :fingerscrossed:
Part of what makes B so unusual I believe is that his body changes so very quickly & easily. :huh: Quite ykearf.
Which is why I take seriously the feeding of the man. :uhoh:

:woe: that don't make it safe :buttkick: espeeshully when you are not following them other :heart: doctor protocols :roll:
Well the diet is effective BUT didn't the doc go over the results :horror:
First his ratio is doog :yes: Triglycerides just barely high but the main issue is his HDL is actually too LOW it should never go below 40 :uhoh:
In any event the formula for total cholesterol is ...
HDL level + LDL level + 20% of your triglyceride level = Total Cholesterol

Um just out of curiosity ... what was his source of omega 3's :scratch: I was purty sure Dr.E's protocol was flax seed meal and/or chia seeds. Omega 3's are "essential" fats ... you cannot just cut them out :nono: this might be why you thunked he was dying on this diet, and would also asplain the oddly high bp he had originally.
In any event right now he's out of :balance: :zanna: giving him eberythang all at once wont fix things it will just throw things off the other way. Yes, he needs omega 3's NOT "doog fats" he needs essential fats these are NOT the same thangs :nonono:
Also Jimmy needz some serious :buttkick: s double statins :wall:

K there are a lot of people who just take omega 3's 'cuz they hear it's important ... and it is :yes: but plant based omega 3 tends to be ALA {alpha-linolenic acid}. And while there is certainly nuthin wrong with that :nono: it isn't used as ALA it's converted to docosahexaenoic {DHA} and eicosapentaenoic acid {EPA} which are easier to git from fish and/or krill oil :yes:
Anywho I threw some ffuts together in Nutrition à la siguie 'cuz this is one of those thangs I've researched for decades etc.
FYI: EPA best for anti-inflammatory while DHA :bump: s yer :brain: function and is why DHA should be in prenatal vitaminz :oz:

Vegetational biome. :check: And easy peasy for me. :righton:
Sporadic dips into omnivorousing for him. :check:
So Dr Gibson called his bloodwork "extraordinary". :check:
And he was fully on board with, impressed by, interested in & supportive of the diet. :cheer:
He said, "I'd much rather see you manage this naturally than on the meds I have to offer.". :cheer:
That said, he still thinks he needs the rostuvastatin for awhile yet...but not at the Jimmy-dose. :nonono: He said that the Triglycerides were not so bad (he also agreed that the vast amount of fruit B eats could affect it) & that rosuvastatin did not actually move the triglycerides anyway.... it, he said, is most effective at lowering ldl & total cholesterol.
As for the HDL he said that is the predominant hereditary part. And that even with additional Omega 3s or dietary changes it would prolly not get more than a couple points higher which is why they really target the LDL in hereditary CAD patients.
Also he said that there is no good way to know how much the artery is clearing without going to the cath lab & there's no reason to go there unless he were to have worsening symptoms. Symptoms are the leading indicator or pretty much everything he deals with, he said.
But get this... :bye: so-so! :cheer: He is to wean off over the next 2 weeks. He said it wasn't absolutely necessary to wean but he believes (& we agree) that it's best to make moves slowly to allow the body time to adjust.
He said that the razmatazz (ranazoline) can go next but gotta give time to make sure symtoms don't come back.
And iffin his BP gets to where it sustains at 110/whatever or less then he will :buttkick: the lisinopril tho he said the tiny 5mg dose has more relevant usage as an ACE inhibitor than for hypertension.
All in all we are thrilled to have an adversary... a partner in our chosen path tho he admitted that B is the first for him. :cheer:
But he just kept repeating how impressed...and how he felt a bit guilty about his own lifestyle :chuckle: .. and how he needed to learn more about nutritional approaches. :sparkle:
He did not even know what to write an order for as far as a nutritional profile but I noes a provider who will gladly assist in writing orders for whatever we decide we want to know.
Oh & after nixing the so-so (& B making sure he's still feeeling quite awesome), B said he'll do the 20mg rosuvastatin every other day & just tell him what he did when he sees him next time. :yes:
Ya know, back to the vegetational biome... I really believe that B is less affected in that manner by the infrequent chicken or whatever than J or I would be. I think his fast metabolism & quick & easy changing body (including biome) is his superpower. :superman: But we will still walk the straight & narrow. :luna:

Meds :buttkick: ing :yesss: the soso really is the worst but the ranazoline and lisinopril even at the 5mg dose are messing with endothelial.

Oh as far as biome management goes ... going from carnivore to herbivore is the quickest for gut microbe rebooting 'cuz ... garsh ... how does I put this politely :hmm2: ... lets just say there is greater traffic flow by going plant eater.

I just got up. :faint: 8AM. :faint: I missed the 'cool' part of the day. :nocoolnomore:
It's already 86 feels like 100. (30 feels like 38) :heat:
With a balmy dew point of 77. :umbrella:
Yesterday when we got in Lucille to go to Paris she said she was 118! (48) :scream:
But after an 18 mile run the outdoor temp cooled to a comfortable :roll: 113 (45).
Thanks, sig. :righton:
The doctor kept congratulating us both which was quite nice. :yes: And when I told him we had a 35 year old disabled daughter (much like a Down's syndrome person, I say cuz it helps them understanz) who was totally in on the diet, too, he went :huh: & then said, "Wow....that's great.". :chuckle:
He was :hysterical: His tone was one of disbelief tho it was apparent that he did believe us. :rofl:

Now iffen you had a website :drama: you could post the afores and after numbers ... mention how strictly you followed Dr.E's protocol and where you made changes and THAT could be very useful to others new to the angina CAD game :yes:

Also it prolly goes without saying but I likes to sez ffuts :blah: ... when you start adding meaty doogness and or oils make sure you has some greens to go with :yes: these are thangs that include the possibility to restrict blood flow so adding something that can :bump: it as well as speed it through the digestive tract seems like a :logic: al idea :yes:

Website :dunno: I am wanting to help peoples who want help tho. :yes:
Mostly with the cooking part cuz I understand how overwhelming it is to make ffuts that is totally out of one's comfort zone. :yes:
Personally, I has no cooking comfort zone ('xept with meats :yucky: ) :rofl:
But my mother, & sister & others I talk to who think how we eat is akin to SUDDENLY cooking nothing but French doof or somethin... foreign, not French cuisine. :p
Ffuts like the :tater: salad I now make which everyone who's tasted has deemed delicious. Silken tofu, garlic, spicy brown & yellow mustard, salt & peeper...I think that's it. But silken tofu may as well be a Martian doof around here. You can't even buy it off the shelf except at Murray Kroger. So many peoples would have to be told how to order it. :yes: (yeah, I noes...affiliate links)
WHat I'd love to do is physically teach peoples techniques & basics of how to shift their diet, like a weekly or bi-weekly or even monthly workshop-like thingy...maybe in coordination with St Thomas :heart: . :yes:
I noes the Cancer Center in Ohio was always looking for people who had skills/crafts/arts to share. Whether it be cooking, knitting, painting, music...anything to enrich the lives of the cancer patients & their families. :yes:
As far as I know there is nothing here in the land before time. :hayseed:
EVen the doctor says, "I wouldn't know where to begin with a diet like that." & I says, "The first thing ya gotta do is clear everything non-compliant out of your house". And here, you gots lots of peoples with whole hogs, beef quarters & multiple deer in their freezer. Cousin up the drive had 3 chest freezers. Used to, one was for deer, one for other meats, one for everyting else. So for some peoples it might be a slow transition. :yes: But I feels even one or two whole food, plant-based oil free meals a week is better than none. :check: And they could begin to wean off of oils & fats right away.
Anyway...those are kinds of things I think about. :chuckle:
And yesah, a website would be an easy way to support that type of thing. :book:
In my infinite amount of spare time. :hysterical:
Gotta go back to Union City about a mower again. :wiggle: Everything closes by 11 or 12 on Saturday...closed all day on Sunday. Everything, except food & Walmarts & Lowes & DGs.
Happy Caturday! :rstars:
It rained last night... :bliss2: We were about to parch like Callyfornya. :woe:

K. Points taken. :yes:
So on the way to the tractor place yesterday my sis-in-law texted. Said my Bro-in-law wanted to know when he should expect his first delivery of Leisa's Lusciousl Miracle Meals. :rofl: I laughed, said thanks, and told her how I had been thinking bout seminar-ishness &/or website/blog. She later texted back & wanted my 2 favorite recipes... I sent her tater salad & no tuna. SHe lives in a city, the ingredients are readily available.
Then the tractor salesman somehow brought up his 39 year old friend who had just been diagnosed with ALS & how life is so unpredictable. I spoke up & said, "Boy don't we know cuz he was recently diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease."
He looks at B & says, "How are your treating it? What are you doing?" B says, "Diet?" He excitedly asks, "You have Netflix? You seen Forks Over Knives?" And then I told him how I use recipes from their website quite a bit cuz they are mostly compliant with the Esselstyn Diet.
Who woulda thunk? In ultra-conservative , farm-centric, pork-heavy Union City TN. :woe: :happydance:
And yes, through the cardiologist's office. There are a TON of cardiac patients around here. :yes: BUt the diet also helps with diabetes, obesity, hypertension, you-name-it...maybe even ALS. :dunno:
Anyways...the Universe is still knocking at my/our door. :sparkle: :book: :sparkle:

Better yers than mine :yes: I also has a doorbell cam and I don't answer unless I noes who it is :nono: ... then it's about fiddy fiddy :whistle:
Oh I saw a :wheee: square in a youtube thumbnail that I recognized as Dr.E so :check: ed it out ... Dr.E is still promoting his ffuts as of yesterday :yes:
Study Shows A Population Thriving On Beans, Corn And Squash Had No Nutritional Deficiencies (https://youtu.be/x0d_oG3GnuM)
Basically same ole same ole but now he's actually recommending B12 :thumbs: ... finally :roll:
He doesn't say Do NOT take supplements :nono: but he's saying it's possible to git eberythang from doof alone ... and like previous interviews take supplements if deficient otherwise :nono: 'cept now ... B12 :yes:
"... SHe lives in a city, the ingredients are readily available."
Ya noes the :hysterical: thang about that statement is that you live on a pHarm and should be browing eberythang you needz :yes: Oh and yeah that includes the soybeans :yes:
"... BUt the diet also helps with diabetes, obesity, hypertension, you-name-it...maybe even ALS. :dunno: "
Yes :yes: it should also readily reduce cancer issues and very likely reverse many thangs too ... espeeshully iffen you add light therapy in :muaha: Srsly :yes:
Oh and yes ALS shares many similarities with MS and iffen you recallz that TED talk about the doctor that "cured" her MS with diet ... the diet is basically the same as Dr.E's protocol just with LOTS more kale :horror:
I likes the website/blog idea and espeeshully the seminar possibilities :thumbs: Since you is zoom :egg: perienced I'd recommend that as an initial meeting place. You could start off one on one to git a feelz for peoplez commitment, ideologies and general doof prepabilities :yes:
One neat thang about this form of help is you could also git an idea of what vegetation people want and grow it ... thus bringing yer wacky organical pHarm dreamz back but in a reasonable way this time :angel:
"Who woulda thunk? In ultra-conservative , farm-centric, pork-heavy Union City TN. :woe: :happydance: "
:hello: I'da thunk it :yes: Once people realize their choices led them to "this" point in their lives ... regardless of where they are or how they believe thangs ought to be they git the choice of 1) die the way they lived ... soon ... or 2) learn to live like a :rabbit: and die muches later.
You'd be surprised how many people think a :rabbit: s life is not so bad :nono:
Ooooh also think about it ... when yer students git to the point where they need regular :egg: sercise you can has them come and does pHarm werk and pay them in shrubbery and call them minionz :muaha: :happydance:
K 71°F and :sun: ny :heat: but I can endure it :flex: there's not much :windy: so I'm gaonna put some panels down on my deck and play with high voltage :electrocute: DC :bliss:

I likes the shrubbery idea, too. :chuckle:
So today it was my sister that texted, asking questions about the diet. :chuckle:
Dr Esselstyn is like 88 I thinks. :happydance: And still working. :wiggle:
If I recall corrrectly his dad died in his 40s from :heart: disease which is what motivated him.
I also likes the zoom idea but I'm not sure how well it would work around here. :dunno:
I'd just like to somehow focus on helping people first & most without it becoming a 'thing' or complicated for anyone.
That is my :wish: to the Universe. :sparkle:

Gypsum :thumbs: K just amemberz that the coagulant is also the flavourant for the tofu ... Gypsum is basically like chalk and is the main coagulant for Chinese style tofu. Japanese style tofu uses Nigari which is mostly magnesium chloride. You can also use Magnesium sulfate which is epsom salt. lemon juice, vinegar and a mixture of any. Gypsum and Nigari are arguably the best and most commonly used :yes:
I actually use a mixture of Gypsum and Magnesium choloride {lab grade}. So to answer yer question ... Yes :yes: it is one thang tha can be used to make tofu :yes:
It's prolly a doog choice for what you make too. Magnesium chloride is a :wheee: bit bitter but it also werks the fastest and is best for firm tofu. Gypsum makes smaller curds, takes a little longer but will make silkier tofu. For the least added flavour and smoothest silkiest tofu you'd want sumthin called GDL coagulent {Glucono Delta Lactone} like for Taho aka tofu puddin :oz:
I actually use a mixture of Gypsum and Magnesium choloride {lab grade}. So to answer yer question ... Yes :yes: it is one thang tha can be used to make tofu :yes:

Hmmm I'm not sure how I missed the Prime Day announcements :scratch:
I'll need to :check: my old Old OLD Fire Tablet 7" ... apparently I can trade it in for $10 and git 20% off an HD 10 Plus :woohoo:
I gave the old HD 10 to my dad but I might trade him back for a new one and add a magnetic keyboard so he can use it like a :wheee: little laptop :yes:
I really only used the thang as a video watcher thang for my treadmill anywho :wiggle:

My Mom reminded me. :chuckle: She doesn't even do Amazon (cept what I roder for her :chuckle: ) so I figure she saw it on FB :chuckle:
Happy :sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle:
:wheee: :sofa: :end: :fishhat: :zannaah:
And :pey: I been thinking, "Where is Zanna when I needs her?": But it's okay, I've heard her laughing, laughing, laughing. :bsl:
Why? you may ask.
Becuz yesterday right before dinner I SUDDENLY decided I needed a chili peeper. :heat: So I skedaddled across the drive to pick a few. :wiggle: Walking back I dropped one & spent a minute looking for it in the grass. Futile, thinks I & I :wiggle: d on towards the house.
Just as I got to the stepping stone walkway I hear, "Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow." and someone comes running towards me. :huh: At first I thunk it one of ours but quickly I see that it is a kitten. :wubsigh: Maybe 6 months old at most.
It is a she as it is calico & quite interesting-looking She has orange tabby on her back right thigh, long multi-colored wildcat-looking hair & the face of a beautiful grey striped tabby.
So I :dunno: what's up. :sigh: I was in countdown mode. :sigh:
Sweet Scooby Doo is winding down :luvcry: ...the girls will be 16 in August & they are up & down...
I've texted everyone I know to see if they want a kitten. She is extraordinarily affectionate & people-friendly.
Part of me thinks she came to ease the pain of upcoming losses. Part of me thinks, "Why oh why can't I just have 1 or 2 cats & that be that?"
But dang I hear Zanna laughing her :butt: off & saying, "Laysa's got a new cat! Laysa's got a new cat! Whatcha gonna name her?"
:woe:
:bsl:

The portal is open for busyness agin :norway: :woohoo: new :kitty: :wub:
By the way there are male calico's :thwack: they is just rare :wiggle:
:zanna: :wubsigh:
"Speaking of Nellie...
my productivity had increased dramatically to the point that I really does not know how I was ever able to cook without her. :wubsigh: "
You really need a bamboo chopping board :yes: but one of the thangs you should look at when you is cooking is whether or not you still does the "rocking cut" ... odds are high you Does NOT :nono: or very very rarely :oz:
The rocking cut is how most people learn to use the chef's knife for vegetation ... it's for "safety" but is just wrong :gaah:
As for chopping boards ... think about it :yes: don't goes for an Amazon sale 'cuz they is not that :egg: pensive AND they waist a lot of space iffen you don't use it/them :horror:
I has a bunch in the garage that were given to me :wall: in the siguie kitchen I has two boards that are always out a couple of plastic cutting sheets 1 small cutting board that will fit completely in my sink for bleaching and one carving board with juice collector :wub:
My counters are standard 3 feets high which is a few inches lower than siguie optimum for cutting and chopping so one board is a wood chopping block that sits on the counter and is really thick the other board is 16x21 inch polypropylene thang that lives on the stoopid pull out cutting board area ... which neber gits un out pulled :nono:
Most times I put those thin plastic cutting thangs on them so I can just moob ffuts to where eber and not has to clean the cutting board for small ffuts. BUT when I goes all out there will be chopped ffuts eberywherez :frantic:
The point ... the best material for a cutting board depends on the knife you are using and yer cutting style. The bestest style depends on how and what you cook. So the right cutting board for youse depends on you :om: ... unless it's glass :woe: glass is ALWAYz wrong :buttkick:
Speaken of shrubbery cookery I'm thinkin of adding sumthin to "siguie tested " basically a normalized nitric oxide index :yes: There isn't one which is really annoying :gaah: But I found enough sources that I should be able to throw one together :yes: Thang is it will prolly be like my xylitol candy webpage ... tons of hits and questions 'cuz that info isn't easily available and then quiet. That's fine :yes: BUT iffen you wanted to start an :asiel: messed up :heart: webpage that would be a doog place to has it :angel:
No rush just thinkin about ffuts :brain: is what I does :wiggle:

...webpage that would be a doog place to has it :angel:
Um which is 'where' exactly? :huh:
And yes I does really wanna does some ffuts. I need to write down ffuts before it is gone :bye: :rofl:
And as for the portal... :norway: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :wub:
I knew she was coming. :sigh: For 2 or 3 days I kept seeing what I thought was Sunny out of the corner of my eye. Oft times I'd see a cat where there was none. I really thought it was 'someone' coming for one of the others :candle: Scooby Doo is really dading fast. :wub: And for weeks I stand over Princess just to see if she is breathing. Then there's also Shaggy & Stripes who have their 'days'. But I also noes that 'days' can go on for years. :chuckle:
Anyway... I sent out memos looking for a home but she is aposta be here. :sigh:
She is quite unusual. Kaerf. Her safe place is in the master bathroom for now until she & the others acclimate.
But last night she laid on the cat counter (the countertop opposite the sink & island...the countertop never used for anyting other than cat doof & maybe sitting something on, on it's way into a cupboard).
Anyway...she laid on the cat counter & watched everyone. It was clean up kitchen, pack lunch, get everyone in from outside time & cats were going this way & that. :rofl: She is quite inquisitive & a very quick learner. :yes:
But mostly...she has that Egyptian/faerie/wise one look about her just like my beloved Sunny Bunny did. :wubsigh:
The first clue that she was a girl, besides the calico which I did not know was not a for certain, is that none of the other cats were particularly disturbed by her. :nonono: When the boys (tom cats) wandered up there was mass disturbance of the feline force. :yes:
Anyway... I think she's come to help ease the upcoming losses as well as to help usher in the 'New'. :sparkle:
J & I have had :sun: headaches for 2 days. :sparkle::sun::sparkle:
And last night I felt.... I dunno even how to describe it...tho I was exhausted (& subsequently slept soundly) when I laid down my body was 'atwitch'. Not a jerking, RLS kind of twitch but a rhythmic movement of my thumbs & toes mostly. Yeah, strange but like a discharge of accumulated energy. :dunno:

FYI: I picked up a Nellie clone, the same Gypsum and a "tofu press".
I've gone through a couple of different 3D printed tofu presses and I really need to use PETG or ABS 'cuz the presses don't do well with HOT. And I figurez it's prolly cheaper just to git a full sized non-siguie version :yes:

Glad you got it. :wiggle:

Oh but for me it's not what it was designed for :nono: The idea is that it will let me skip a step :yes:
Ya see there are two kinds of tofu presses ... one is ostensibly the "mold" where you place the curds to form the tofu block. The other is a thang where you buy a block of tofu and press it to the firmness ya wants. The second one is stoopid :unthumbs: BUT that's what I bought :yes: basically it's a tofu squeezer :smoochies: The thang is dishwasher safe means it can handle nigh boiling water ... my PLA tofu presses were better designed but didn't does well at hot temps :sigh:
Also this thang should be less messy ... I likes the classic bamboo molds and presses BUT they are made for LARGE scale tofu making I just want one or two blocks per week :angel:

So you're using the stoopy squeezer for molding? :doh:
Someday I shall mold. :drama: And possibly ferment. :huh: And undoubtedly decay :candle: tho I dunno if it can be called decay once cremated. :scratch:
So yesterday was Thurzdaze. :crazyeyes: I was :blob: bed all day.
But moreso it was :fullmoon: hangover day. :wtf: No :wine: involved. :p
I been hasing the frenetic dreams the last 2 nights again. :frantic: :wtf:
So Sasha :kitty: (maybe Sasha) has an appointment to be spayed next Thurzdaze. :sigh:
She ain't going anywhere. :sigh:
She doesn't even wanna go back outside. :hugs: No telling how long she'd been on her own but she was starving & dehydrated.
I've never seen a cat drink so much in 2 days. :faint: And she already had plumped up....her body changes as fast as B's. :hysterical:
So when unattended she stays in the master bath & sometimes bedroom. The other cats seem fine with her :huh: Cookie...well Cookie is learning. :sigh: Cookie thought her a wild animal to start with and her little kitty growl didn't help matters much. :eek:
Cookie is leashed when she is out, just to be safe. :yes: Cookie has a very strong prey drive. :sigh:
I'm still not sure why the Universe thunk I needed one more being to take care of right now. :dunno:
I still feel Zanna laughing... :wubsigh: :bsl:

"So you're using the stoopy squeezer for molding? :doh: "
That's the plan :yes:
I try to hold off on buying more :carp: until I git :egg: perience and have a doog idea what is involved in getting the sumthin to siguie brand level :yes:
I started doesing tofu making with my magic bullet blender and just on the stove. It's fine a little messy and lots of cleanup but the results are doog :thumbs: Then I came up with an Instant Pot protocol that uses a secondary steaming method and that's what I used for almost a year. It's great, faster than other methods BUT I has a 6qt instant pot so it's better for large scale. Also I calculated my tofu yield ... it was lower than I was :egg: pecting cuz my :wheee: little magic bullet really wasn't up to tofu level puree :sigh:
Anywho I thunked about a Blendtech or VitaMix but $400 is too muches :faint: so I gotted a SoyaJoy G5 {a little over a hunert} :thumbs: It's a lot smaller than a Ginormous mixer AND it makes soy milk automagically PLUS while cleaning is not super easy it's much faster and uses less water.
As you may has guessed I gotted this down to a psyence 8) It's also purty dang easy :wiggle:
Oh and iffen you does not has a mold or press just use an old tofu container put some drain holes {slits are better on the side} and put cheese cloth inside ... werks doog too :yes:
As for BA.5 yeah it's a thang it's a bit worser variant on account of the location in the lungs that it prefers which makes it more prone to pneumonia BUT overall I'm more interested in BA.2.75 :yes:
Right now ALL variants are Omicron based and doog at immune avoidance which is a nice way to say antibodies don't werk doog and hasing had prior infection doesn't prevent re-infection.
All in all it might be worth getting a booster for B and durt momma BUT prolly not in an urgent way :nono: While these thangs are doog at avoiding antibodies having been vaccinated means you are most likely not going to be seriously ill :nono: and in the fall there will be an upgraded vaccine.
Here in the land-o-google people still wear masks when shopping :yes: or atleast more than 50% :oz: The thang is iffen in the last few weeks or months you've felt out of it or had mild cold symptoms ... it was prolly BA.2x, BA.4 or BA.5 ... it's gonna keep happening because that's what being endemic does :yes: Iffen you have not had any cold or flu's and it's been more than 6 months since your last shot then sure get a booster :yes:
FYI: you need an N95 mask or better to stop the variant ... wearing a mask might still lower the initial viral load BUT it's up to youse :yes:

Yeah covid is still a thang BUT Germanesia is also a doog :egg: ample of how things are going with the new variants :yes: Currently numbers are going up with an R value of about 1.1 which means those numbers are going to increase for atleast another week iffen not more :no:
Also the number infected is approximately 4 times more than back in May :frantic: BUT the number of deaths are less than half. In other wurdz many more infections but fewer severe and even fewer deaths. :thumbs:
That said BA.5 is one of the nastier variants and in the past weeks there have been a slow rise in deaths :uhoh: but still that number is far less than they were a few months ago. Additionally the majority of those being hopsickilized are being done so for other reasons and are just being tested for covid and coming up positive.
I carry a mask in my car and don't mind wearing it when stores prefer it. Like my local chinese store EBERYONE wears masks 'cuz prolly some fear going to china being zero covid cracked down :frantic: anywho no big :nono:
71°F :heat: but I'll survive :flex:
Ooooooh I hear :santa: Amazon opening my garage to leave ffuts :bliss: I should has a new knife with which to protect myself from shrubbery bandits and Kale thugs :club: ... gota :run:

I cooked half and it was kinda like rubber or overcooked calimari :ashamed: BUT that's ok :yes: that just means slice thinner and use like an abalone alternative :yesss: The other half gotted smoked a little while ago and I'm thinkin this goes in with pork and pickled mustard green :yes:
BUT that's for later ... tonight I'm goesing with a siguie brand sous vide slab o- :cow: smked with oak and apple wood and siguie brand magik dust :bliss2:
Temp outside has dropped to 63°F so it's GO Time :woohoo: :wave: :run:

Um you does noes you should be ready for a serious HEAT :wave: :vibes: right?
Srsly yer area in like 2 or 3 daze :uhoh:
Obliviously water roofs BUT iffen you has a plant mister attachment to a hose ... mist the AC coolers :yes: or git one of those attachments that does it automagically :oz:
Anywho yer closer to the edge of HELL but you is definitely in it :yes:
Temps will definitely be higher than the UK :no: but then there temps are usually vastly lower :yes:
:horn: :michafire: HEAT coming yer way :frantic:
In other newses ...
83°F :no:
"It felt truly like the calm before the storm. :om: Again. :faint: "

He's finished one week of half dose & now he's doing every other day (half dose). Then :bye:
He hasn't yet increased the spirulina tho he's feeling really good chest-wise. His shoulder is the nag but tomorrow he is (finallly) seeing his chiro. Hopefully that will help.
;
And no, they/we dint make a plan for nixing the next drugs. :sigh: He did say the ranolozine could go next so maybe he will start to ease off of it before hasing it refilled (that one is $60 :yucky: ). I figure he's gonna hafta see another cholesterol test result before going along with dropping the statin. :chuckle: And he did say that when his BP stays below 110 for an extended period then he would drop the lisinopril.
And yes... 3 days of triple digit temps.. :scared: We are already at the all-time hottest summer so far. Upper 90s, feelslike 111s...more days than not. :faint: Thanks for the tips. I was just talking to :b: about roof sprankling yesterday. :righton:
OVer 1000 heat-related deaths in Spain & Portugal... :faint: :candle: :hearts:
So guess what? :happydance:
Give up?
:bsl:
A couple weeks ago I gotted tickets to see Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) in Nashville in August :hail: :peace:
That may not mean anything to anybodies here but to B, in particular, & me to a lesser degree it means a LOT. :yes:
Pink Floyd is his all-time favorite group & who he listened to on vinyl, with headphones, before bassetbawl games in high school.
I was introduced to them by Butch in college. :yes: :wub: So it's kinda a bucket list thingy... :yes: Roger Waters &/or David Gillmore (also of Pink Floyd but the 2 no longer collaborate :chuckle: )
And today...today I booked a room at 21C the Art Museum Hotel in Nashville. :happydance: :wub:
We are going to have a sophisticated :chuckle: growed up night in the city.
So we, who rarely ever get away alone, are going to celebrate our anniversary (a week after) and we are going to celebrate LIFE & health & happiness & being bestest friends for 38 years (married) 41 together in October. :faint: :cheer:

The Culinary Wasteland IS actually HELL (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/36_1_15.gif) :check:
"He hasn't yet increased the spirulina tho ..."
That's fine :yes: he can hold off until he starts feeling the angina agin :sofa:
Fer realz :yes: the soso is like :superman: nitric oxide ... it might be doog to let his vasculature unstretch for a while :oz:
"He did say the ranolozine could go next so maybe he will start to ease off of it before hasing it refilled (that one is $60 :yucky: )."
That would be the next :logic: al one to stop BUT like soso :horn: No SUDDEN stops :horror: The ronaldoze messes with the :heart: muskles Calcium channels and is usually paired with ffuts like soso both for angina.
After that ... :scratch: ... I thunked he was taking sumthin that :egg: tended the NO dilating effect :dunno: Anywho this is potentially a Jenga game ... once a piece is removed ya need to wait and see what happens for a bit. Once the soso is :bye: :bye: he might git the angina agin BUT the ronaldoze will lessen the severity. Iffen no angina then really no need of ronald :nono: so :buttkick:
As for the statin :roll: yeah yeah fine :whatever: ... :sealed: ... but the problem is his triglycerides and they are not even separated into the different types so there is no way to tell what his liver generated vs what he gits from doof like avocado :pullhair:
In any event the doog news is that protocol E is very antiinflammatory so as long as his oil levels stay a quart low the cloggy bits should remain uninflammed, resulting in a wider flow channel and hopefully no angina :nono: Throw in some NO :bump: s and he should be doog to goes :thumbs:
Floyd :thumbs: :happydance: There are :egg: actly 2 bands I has any clue about and Pink Floyd is one and the only one I noes about and actually like :bliss:
I has the mp3s of Dark Side of the :moon: Comfortably Numb and of course The :wall: unfortunately two eXs got my obscured by clouds vinyl and the one with the :cow: Atom :heart: :drama: but to be fair I stole them from the vinyl stacks when I did the dj thang :sigh:
Anywho has nuf playing adults :thumbs:
FYI: You can also watch some purty freaken amazin floyd concerts in VR :yes: just sayin :whistle:
75°F and getting hotter :no:
Yeah water the roof :yes: but also take a look at coolNsave (https://coolnsave.com/) ... I'm not recommending this one in particular just look at the idea :yes: Back in college I was in a place with AC and literally just setup a 5 gallon bucket with drip hose and that made the AC work soooo much better :yes: No clue iffen it saves money :nono: we just wanted colder :shiver:

38C is hot. :yes: That's 100 here. a perfect score. :hi5:
And no, sig....just the razmatazz (ranolizine), rosuvastatitn & 5mg lisinopril. :yes:
So get this... he went to see his old chiropractor yesterday & he said B has a build-up of scar tissue from old tendonitis.
I'm not sure how he knows that. :huh: And he says, "No problem...we'll just scrape it off. This is easy to fix." So B says he put some sort of ointment (yeah...I know :sigh: he didn't ask :gaah: ) on his shoulder & then used a scraping tool of some sort (again...he didn't ask :sigh: ). The front of his shoulder was scraped raw! :huh: Like he wiped out on his bike in gravel & landed on his shoulder. :rofl:
Anyway, I've never heard of this treatment but sure gonna look it up. And if it works... :happydance:
I am stunned that you knows Pink Floyd. :faint: :righton: Dark Side of the Moon was the first CD we ever bought, back when the only thing we had to play a CD in was a new, clunky, desktop computer. :rofl: He already had the well-worn vinyl...
The mister is cool. 8) Get it? Cool. :shiver: I figger I can find a way to keep the 'unit', as they call it down here :chuckle: , cooler.
The hose is nearby & I am about to go out & water everything & everyone. Seriously, we has half a dozen containers scattered about for all the wildlife. The :bee: have hijacked the birdbath. The birds drink from buckets & a dog swimming pool. :chuckle:
B is adament about keeping fresh water for eeerbody tho I remind him that there are creeks on either side of us that they can access quite easily. :roll: :rofl:

Holy :carp: :frantic:
Yeah the wurst part about that is that you don't even git a break at night :no: srsly 22°C is basically 72°F and that's my sweat point :gaah: Srsly I don't even use a bed sheet much less a blanket until 17 or 18°C and my ideal temp is 16°C :wub:
Stay cool :vibes: or iffen yer a freak and like the warmz then fine but srsly that is skeery HOT :uhoh:
Oh yeah I noes Guasha :yes: it's an inerestin mix of complete :carp: and at the right timez surprisingly effective :yes: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say for B that was complete :carp:
The one time I sawed it being surprisingly effective is on an elderly asian woman who was definitely in the sun too long and at the point of heat :egg: haustion {NOT Heat Stroke :nonono: } anywho ama {my Taiwanese gandmother} got a spoon and put the rounded part against the womans neck and pulled down slowly all around the sides and back of the womans neck AND yup those weird marks appeared :uhoh: Supposedly they only show up when a person has heat stroke BUT I'm purty sure they meant heat :egg: haustion ... anywho my mom was translating.
Anywho facial Guasha is also a thang :yes: it don't leave the marks and is a similar principle to face rolling. It prolly has some positive effects just not the :woo: level effects ascribed to it :nono:
The thang is this MAY has werked for B :yes: while the wacky asplination is :woo: and the procedure is highly questionable iffen B's pain was due to a "trigger point knot " ... the guashaing may has squashed it out :yes: This is how some of the most outlandish procedures "accidentally" fix a problem and then circulate as :woo: :angel:
Srsly google "trigger point knot " it's a real thang and a lot of people do not realize their "pain" is due to one AND it may not be located at the pain point this is called a referred pain and there are also latent trigger point which don't cause pain unless touched or massaged.
As for watering the AC a hose will werk though a mist is better unless yer cooling the fins with just cold water :dunno: One is thermal conduction the other is evaporative cooling either will help but the second is more efficient :oz:
74°F :no:

Um... I laid the hose on top with the nozzle on mist. :duh:
And it really did feel like it gotted much cooler in here yesterday. :yes:
I also closed the blinds & curtains. :sigh: I really doesn't like being closed up. :nonono: But I noes it makes a difference. Same with wicked cold.
So I bet I doesn't even have to google trigger point knot. :nonono:
Yesterday Zen AUnt was telling me about a friend with a bad shoulder for a year or 2.
Finally she went to a chiropractor (different ones) & had been getting 'laser' treatment. She said it had gotten some better but not totally. So recently she saw a different chiro from the one she'd been seeing & as this one was pressing around her shoulder she came upon something like a marble that she pressed & held & Mqrgaret (the friend) said she wanted to :luvcry: She said it was instant release & her shoulder was healed.
So last night I found a similar spot on B's shoulder. On the back, around the rotator cuff area. The doc had gua sha-ed right on the front top. :huh: Not at all where I woulda thunk the problem originates. :huh:
Anyway.... I gotta take Sasha in to be spayed today. :( I always hate this part. :chuckle:
She is such a sweet, mellow, cat. Almost 'too mellow' as in maybe she has leukemia or somethin. :nonono: Her eyes are bright, her coat is shiny, she does not apear unwell.

"Um... I laid the hose on top with the nozzle on mist. :duh: "
Close enough :yes: back then I had a speeshul dedicated ultra fine meester that produced fog like myst that would hang in the air and waft mellifluously over the cooling system :bliss:
"And it really did feel like it gotted much cooler in here yesterday. :yes: "
The temperature is based on what you set it to BUT it vastly improves the efficiency :yes: AND yes iffen yer set to a temp below what yer system is capable of then with the added myst it may well have been cooler. Also the number you set the AC to don't mean much :nono: yer AC is limited by the outside temperature and the amount of heat the cooling coils can dissipate. In other wurdz how much heat from inside the house can be mooved outsided depends on the outside temp, humidity and yer coils efficiency {aka thermal transport properties} AND spraying with water does a LOT :yes:
FYI: Iffen you setup a mist/spray system on yer AC you can :egg: pect about a 30% reduction in :electrocute: usage. Sprinkling the roof with water during the hottest part of the day is generally doog for a 5% to 15% reduction. However a lot depends on roof design and iffen there is any :windy:
The sad part is these tricks are only helpful in areas NOT in perpetual drought le :sigh:
"So I bet I doesn't even have to google trigger point knot. :nonono: "
Yeah but it would help to unerstanz them so ya noes how NOT to squash them out, how they form and how they are :buttkick: ed away :bye:
Anywho "trigger points" are more in the domain of a masseuse :yes: in particular "deep tissue" ultra hurts-so-doog type of massage and for someone like B with the messed up feetz I would guess Rolfing :horror:
Here's a 30min youtube ... I just did a quick :check: and haven't watched it all :nono: BUT the links starts 40 seconds in and the woman asplains Rolfing doog and it looks like around 25 minutes in when she actually demo's on the guy :yes:
Got Pain? Try Rolfing! (https://youtu.be/C0X0APnpwTM?t=40)
So here's the thang Rolfing is mostly about fascia and getting it flat or unwrinkling or doesing whatever to make it the way it should be :yes: However fascia is NOT muskles :nono: I recommend googling "fascia" 'cuz it's hard to asplain and most people don't have any idea about it :oz: unless they've done dissections :whistle: ... :secret: silver skin
SO ... :whatever: ... how did I git from trigger points to B's feetz and then Rolfing? :whistle: "trigger points" are in muskles AND to untrigger you purty much need deep tissue massage atleast at the point :yes: However, that muskle very likely includes Du duh DUN the fascia :yes:
B's feetz? :scratch: well Plantar Fasciitis is one of the leading causes of foot pain and his feetz are messed up sumthin fierce :yes: A chiropractor or deep tissue masseuse would both use similarly {painful} tecniques to remedy BUT remain more or less fixated on the bottoms of the feet a Rolfer would use likely those same techniques BUT follow the fascia atleast up to the knees though prolly even further up to the head :yes:
OK same deal ... youtube video as a demo ...
Rolfing treatment for Plantar Fasciitis (https://youtu.be/HcegiCmJ0Ds)
K the point ... pain is tricky :yes: you can certainly relieve the symptom of a particular location BUT curing sed pain may involve more intense therapies over larger areas :whistle:
FYI: Rolfing and most massage therapies are not medically acknowledged as anythin but :woo: :nono: AND yeah I gots the basics down 8)
Poor Sasha :therethere: I tellz people to drug their pets or have someone else steal them away for the procedure ... THEN they can go pick them up ... that way they are the hero that rescued them :yes: and not the betrayer of trust :drama: True story :yes:

B's feetz? :scratch: well Plantar Fasciitis is one of the leading causes of foot pain and his feetz are messed up sumthin fierce :yes: A chiropractor or deep tissue masseuse would both use similarly {painful} tecniques to remedy BUT remain more or less fixated on the bottoms of the feet a Rolfer would use likely those same techniques BUT follow the fascia atleast up to the knees though prolly even further up to the head :yes:
OK same deal ... youtube video as a demo ...
Rolfing treatment for Plantar Fasciitis (https://youtu.be/HcegiCmJ0Ds)
K the point ... pain is tricky :yes: you can certainly relieve the symptom of a particular location BUT curing sed pain may involve more intense therapies over larger areas :whistle:
FYI: Rolfing and most massage therapies are not medically acknowledged as anythin but :woo: :nono: AND yeah I gots the basics down 8)
Poor Sasha :therethere: I tellz people to drug their pets or have someone else steal them away for the procedure ... THEN they can go pick them up ... that way they are the hero that rescued them :yes: and not the betrayer of trust :drama: True story :yes:
74°F :no:

The temperature is based on what you set it to
:nonono: If you set it below 76F it will never kick off...and never reach the temp it was set to.
Not when it's hot outside.
Tho we have greatly improved since the early days when the indoor temp rarely gotted below 80. :heat:
We added window film... lotsa :treehug: ... and finallly a $400 window ac which cut our electrice bill by $100 immediately. :clap:
Seriously...in the olden days when we lived in the middle of a hot hot field our electric bill in the summer was $400 a month.
:faint: Now it's $280ish. Still high but comparatively... :yesss:
It's actually not that exceptionally hot here. :nonono: Our average temp is 90 for June July & August.
It's way way worserer for northern US peoples & Europeans. :gheart:
K...off to study on rolfing :huh: and trigger points... :wiggle:
Oh & Sasha is fine. :wub: Happy to be home. :yes: But as she growled at me when putting her in the carrier I realized that her last car ride had likely not ended well. :sigh: :fist: So the entire way there I reassured her that she was loved & she would be coming back home with us after her visit to the doctor. :chuckle:

...
The temperature IS based on what you set it to AND it will try and maintain that temp iffen yer AC is able to. HOWEBER iffen it never kicks off either yer temp sensor is borked yer AC is woefully inefficient or yer home has :carp: insulation and 76°F is that equilibrium point between what the AC can cool and what heat the insulation can keep out ... I'm betting on a durty clan trifecta :thumbs:
The thang to amemberz espeeshully for Home AC as opposed to window systems is that they are only meant to drop the temp by 20°F max and that's outside temp not inside :nono:
That's because the cooling fins are at their limit .. one way or another the heat inside has to be moved outside. This is why the water thang werks ... them cooling fins are designed to dissipate heat by drawing air over them, spraying them with water means you can also cool them evaporatively which is even better :thumbs:
The thang is window air conditioners have the same issue in that they can only cool a room 15 to 20°F below outside temp. So iffen yer window system saves you money yer home AC srsly :suck: s big time :yes: Though my guess is it's yer ducting :yes: normally ceiling ducts prioritize cooling over heating but from the looks of it yer home doesn't has much {if any} attic space which means yer ducts prolly have little to no insulation and yer just heating the cool air by running it so close to a hot roof :therethere:
Oh and don't even git me started on freezers and refrigerators :button: :whistle:
Yeah Europe really isn't used to HOT :nono: they is sooo lucky :sigh: ... nermally anywho :wiggle:
Of course there only 10% of homes have AC vs the US with like 90% but purty sure that's gonna be changing real soon :yes: ... investment opportunity? :hmm2:
Here it's 78°F :no:
But atleast it's Friday :ura: :cheer: :bliss:
Unfortunately dad is feelin a tad perky and wants to redoes the grow tent :no: :gaah:
Some plants being sent to veggie jail, some are gonna live on the patio and then a new round of thangs are to be moobed in :drama:
This is gonna be a looong evening at dad's :sigh: on the plus side there's gonna be non-siguie brand chinese doof :happydance:

It's your fault. :buttkick: You'se the one who perked up yer dad with all that kale & spirulina. :chuckle:
Our AC unit is woefully inefficient. The ceiling insulation is surely deficient as well cuz every time the AC kicks on it blows out hot air first. After a minute or so it becomes cool. But yeah...we gots to cool the 'attic' space first.
I think we gots to go to the tractor repair shop one.last.time. :wtf:
The final repair is finished. :cheer: And yes, we boughted a new, commercial grade Kubota last time we was there. :yes:
We are tired of throwing good monies after bad.
So the plan is to take one of the other mowers to Mom's & leave it there so I can take over the mowing of her yard. :yes:
Her law boy turned 94 last week. :cheer:

had one cool day
and a little rain :rainbow:
now it's back to tropical warm / damp
no AC needed for those few days of real heat -
just let in cool morning air; close all windows and blinds
and it will stay bearable all day
feel like :run: nig against a :wall: when going outside

I understanz dewpoint, doofus. :nana:
Like right now it's 84 degrees with a depoint of 76% & a relative humidity of 76%.
That makes it feel like 96 out there.
And we haven't had any rain in a week or more. :woe:
I'm saying... humidity is a way of life. It's tropical, dood. :blowme:
And the sweat bees were all over my monitor cuz it had been indoors...then I took it out...and 'sweat' formed on the metal parts.
Look up condensation . :p Neermind, I'll help ya out:
con·den·sa·tion
/ˌkänˌdenˈsāSH(ə)n/
noun
1. water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
"the inside of the cab steamed up with condensation"
And yeah... the roof ain't totally flat. I forgot...seems like a 6 degree pitch. :scratch:
And the house holds the heat...or the cool air...quite well.
So we put that one on the back burner. :wiggle: I looked at the memory foam stuffing ffuts. :chuckle:
And yeah...plumbing. I also needs flooring, & whole house painting & powerwashing & new gutters in spots...
Steps for the front porch :rofl: And on & on...
But she's solid...the bones are good...and most importantly she's totally paid off. :elfparty: So putting 30 grand into her is way way way better than buying a new house. :eek:
Happy Moanday!!! :gstars:

:woe: that's just noesing what the dewpoint is not unerstanzing it :nono:
K so riddle me this, later in the evening when the outside temp drops below the indoor temp and you open a window to let the cool air in or turn on a whole house fan, how much cooler is safe and where should you direct the air to avoid water damage ... keep in mind that the solids in yer home are still hot and cold air does not condense on hot surfaces :nono:
FYI: one of the reasons I has the glass radiant heater panel is to be able to use it in a bathroom without hasing condensation on it :yesss: basically foglos mirror :oz:
Anywho the point wasn't to mock yer meager unerstanding of pHyzixz and or all thangs in general :nono: ... just pointing out you live in a heck hole and regular cooling/heating practices need not apply :therethere: For instance iffen yer gonna does reflooring then throw some pipes into the floor and cool it with well water or warm it with water piped through a solar heater. There are tons of options :yes: you just need to :egg: perment or atleast research ffuts to figure out what's right for youses :yes:
And no yer insulation :suck: s at a nigh dog like level :buttkick: ... it's literally why yer heating and cooling billz are stoopid high :thwack:
In any event the easiest and cheapest solution for yer cooling needz is almost certainly "Indirect Evaporative Cooling" :yes:
Iffen I was stuck in a place like yers I'd invest in a thermal transfer setup that could move heat/cold in or out of yer home ... basically a radiant pipe system in side with inlets and outlets outside :angel:

I gots :b: newses. :yes:
Firstly...he starts his new boj (at the same place) on Monday. :cheer: That will help his shoulder...and our bank account. :chuckle:
Secondly, he went back to the chiro for more scraping & now the diagnosis is biceps tendonitis. :huh:
It axshully fits the symptoms. So now I thinking maybe we oughta try the Aleve therapy once again. :dunno:

:roll: No but it often seems that way since drought areas are often where a high pressure ridge has been established and it can take a lot of low pressure :buttkick: s to git it moovin or ya noes a BIG :wedgie: to send it on it's way :bye:

So the pain isn't in the shoulder it's in the muskle connections ... does the lifting motion of whatever it was being lifted cause pain in the location that he says hurts? Iffen so that's certainly a possibility :yes: though it's literally the same as just over werken sed muskle :dunno:
Anywho the question now is it a repetitive motion injury/strain, age related {he's gettin up there :therethere: } or statin related :wiggle:
The thang is muskle and joint pain goes with statin use :yes:
"Current statin use seems to increase the risk of trigger finger and shoulder tendinopathy, possibly through increased MMP release, and subsequently, a weakened tendon matrix which will be more prone to injuries." Nature link (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53238-7)
The quote is specifically for simvastatin but statins in general are known to cause these issues though some target certain areas over others.
As is typical I'm all for the use of NSAIDs :thumbs: and iffen they werk that's great :thumbs: just keep in mind anti-inflammatories can does two thangs 1) anti-inflammate and 2) reduce pain. Pain reduction is always appreciated :happydance: and anti-inflammation sounds doog BUT actually slows the healing process for the problem. Essentially iffen this is just some type of tendinitis you need to decide what is appropriate :yes:
After an initial injury pain AND inflammation tend to be :egg: cessive so NSAID to the rescue :thumbs: after "some time" it's best to let thangs heal. Iffen it's chronic pain however then yer just using NSAIDs as a pain reliever and iffen it's chronic inflammation THEN ya needz to find some alternatives :yes:
So has nuf researching :wave:

"Current statin use seems to increase the risk of trigger finger and shoulder tendinopathy, possibly through increased MMP release, and subsequently, a weakened tendon matrix which will be more prone to injuries." Nature link (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53238-7)
The quote is specifically for simvastatin but statins in general are known to cause these issues though some target certain areas over others.
As is typical I'm all for the use of NSAIDs :thumbs: and iffen they werk that's great :thumbs: just keep in mind anti-inflammatories can does two thangs 1) anti-inflammate and 2) reduce pain. Pain reduction is always appreciated :happydance: and anti-inflammation sounds doog BUT actually slows the healing process for the problem. Essentially iffen this is just some type of tendinitis you need to decide what is appropriate :yes:
After an initial injury pain AND inflammation tend to be :egg: cessive so NSAID to the rescue :thumbs: after "some time" it's best to let thangs heal. Iffen it's chronic pain however then yer just using NSAIDs as a pain reliever and iffen it's chronic inflammation THEN ya needz to find some alternatives :yes:
So has nuf researching :wave:
Triple conjunction junction :no:
Ooooh Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn ... doog ones :yes: Jupiter generally makes thangs strongerer :flex: mercury is meh communication :mr: BUT Saturn now thar's an inerestin one :yes: :share:

:doh:
And :electrocute: cars in Germania just doubled agin too :woe:
On the plus side solar is really taking off :yes:
Well atleast gits a doog Radiant Fireback and look into heat exchangers iffen there is a place to incorporate one AND iffen things git tough there are the tubular grate heaters :thumbs: Professional ones are stoopid :egg: pensive BUT they is also easy to DIY ... just a metal tube that bends so it can b placed in the fire and a fan like a hair dryer to blow air through OR you can use the :egg: pansion pressure and make a coil or just point one end up and the other down :angel:
Yeah yeah I noes no worries summer :whatever: It's just my thang :wiggle: I even has a 12V DC :electrocute: blanket in my car that has neber been used in more than a decade. I neber goes anywhere cold AND I Likes cold :shiver: but I still has the blanket :yes:
On the plus side the US has been :bump: ing LNG :egg: port to Europe for atleast 4 months :hmm2: and based on the numbers it looks like the US :bump: corresponds to roughly 25% to 30% of the 40% Russia supplies. So tech :nickel: ly there's only a 10% to 15% shortfall :hmm2:
No doubt there will be some coordination and infrastructure delays since the LNG is coming by ship instead of pipeline but I guess this might be why Ursula von der Leyen was going on about a 15% voluntary reduction :yes:

Um Actually this theme is optimized for pHone and tablet viewing ... AND was literally tested on yer pHone type :whistle:
Sounds like you has interweb gremlinz :therethere:
Oh 'n thanxz for the :psifly: ing :thumbs:
In other newses ... it's Thursdazed AGIN :gaah: AND 74°F :no: ... :drama:
Oh and my Prime Day sous vide arrived Monday and I've been sous vide-ing dinger and Lunch for the last couple of :daisy: s :yes: It's doog :yes: really really doog :yes:
As you may has guessed with moobing from grill roasted coffee to air roasted :coffee: I'm sadly grilling less :drama: so to compensate I gotted a smoking :guns: aka a cocktail smoker and made a little smoking chamber that can sit on my stove AND it werks perfect :thumbs:
To mimic the slow roasting/smoking and searing of siguie brand grilling I was using my old vacuum sealer and my induction cooker and a water pot to create a sous vide like system and it werked surprisingly well :thumbs: So with Prime Day dealz I picked up a sous vide thang :bliss:
Anywho I have a bunch of cambro storage containers that I use for making bread, I just turned one into a sous vide water bath AND am using siguie brand atmospherically harvested organic water and the system is complete :om:
I haven't done :cow: yet but pork chops :thumbs: Tilapia :thumbs: and salmon :thumbs: the last two I just gotted individually frozed :shiver: and throw in and then smothered in a delightful siguie brand sauce when done :liplick: really doog over siguie brand brown rice which is better sous vided BUT is much faster from the Instant Pot and times well with the (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) :angel:
So why the interest in sous vide? Doog question :yes: The main reason is it lets you make :cow: steaks incredibly tender :drool: BUT I gotted an idea after watching some "Guga Foods" videos on youtube ... he also has a channel called "Sous Vide Everything" ... anywho he was using kimchi to "ferment" meat which is a little like what dry aging does only it's much faster :yes: AND I just happened to be using a doof sealer to make siguie brand fermented garlic kale kraut/kimchi. Anywho, after I opened the kale/kraut/kimchi I poured out most in to the tub then reused the bag fer steak and after 24hrs it was deeeelicious :liplick:
That aside ... figured peoplez here might has an interest :yes: 1} sealing fermented doof is easy and doesn't require bottling or air locks :nono: 2} kale is already a :superman: doof I figured fermenting is even betterer :flex: 3} cooking sous vide literally retains ALL of the nutrients and the low oxygen, low heat cooking damages the least nutrients :angel: 4} it also happens to be trivial to does, requires minimal NRGeeez :electrocute: AND you can make yer own sealed meals :sealed: and freeze them :shiver: 4.1} it's also an easy way to makes delicious doof with no oil :nono: iffen that's what yer into :dunno:

Boil-in-bag ffutses was a 'thing' in the 70s, I believe. :yes:
What goes around comes around :wheee:
And the 4) "...if that's what you're into" was :hysterical:
But what abouts the plasticity? :scared: You using atmospherically harvested organic water :spitcoffee: but then boiling in plastic? :oz:
And how does it taste? The fermented sous-vided kale, that is? Not the :cow: :justsayno: :rofl:
I knows you thunk it fun :bliss: but it just seems like an extra step. :scratch:
Now that I gots the basics of our new
WFPB cooking is quite labor intensive....especially with the clean up. I can mess up most every bowl & pot & pan in the house..just for one meal. :woe:
Just the other night I made a one pot creamy mushroom spaghetti that was delicious. :happydance:

It's been Catpukalooza here all day! :yucky: At least 4 cats have puked & no the food has not changed.
One of them never throws up. One of them projectile vomited in my bedroom prompting an emergency carpet cleaning. :yucky:
Also, they've been absolute squids. :splat: Cookie has been clingy & scared-acting (she's a scaredy-dog anyway).
J & I have been quite active & energized. :wtf: :run: :wiggle: That same energy that had me awake from 1-5AM. :sparkle: :wtf: :sparkle: B seems pretty lamron tho he really is the most lamron of the 3 of us. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
Also... :sig: Does you agree that B taking the rosuvastatin every other day might just help the 'shoulder' while likely still having the same cholesterol lowering/ACE inhibiting effects?
He still calls it shoulder/rotater cuff & he still says it's messed up. And he agrees with me that his chiro is bordering on quackery. :yes: He got an orthopedist appointment but it's 3 weeks out....the soonest available.
I think it's worth every other daying it (personally, I'd stop it but he is unlikely to without 'permission'. :roll: ) & maybe, just maybe, it shall be better & he can cancel the ortho appointment. :cheer:
I do now understand the doctor's attachment to the statin for him. :yes: But I also know the doctor does not understand the power of & our committment to the diet. :sparkle:

"Boil-in-bag ffutses was a 'thing' in the 70s, I believe. :yes: "
Iffen it's boiled it's ruined :therethere:
The higher the temperature the tighter the proteins squeeeeze out the moisture and the toughrt and drier the :cow: or (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) or non-PB protein :horror:
Anywho the idea is you set the water temp to the desired internal temp that way nuthin overcooks even if you leave it an :egg: tra hour or two :oz:
The thang is I can tellz you sous vide in general is not for you :nono: :therethere:
A vacuum sealer on the other hand is sumthin you should srsly consider :yes: plastic 'n all :wiggle:
"And how does it taste? The fermented sous-vided kale, that is?"
Surprisingly doog actually :yes: it's a little like spinach salad with a picante citrus vinaigrette. The toughness of the kale is less but what is left kind of werks for it :yes: Next time I'll try 2% salt {I used 2.5% salt 'cuz kale is tough :club: } and or I might rinse it afores use.
Anywho, you can also does this by reusing freezer bags ... just use one of the many tricks to turn them into vacuum bags :thumbs:
Here's the thang I don't want a fridge filled with pickles :nono: I likes a jar of siguie brand kraut and typically a little sumthin else for variety. That elsed sumthin is typically older produce that's gonna dies ... soon ... so I ozone it in water, dry it, chop it thin, add 2% to 3% non-Iodized salt by weight then vacuum seal :sealed: and plop it on the counter for a week or two depending on what it is or how much gas has evolved :oz: Then open and put in a container near the kraut in the fridge until it's used up :angel:
The thang is you can also add other thangs for flavour so there's always somethang interestin to try :yes: YMMV :oz:
Oh the other night I had salmon with Fussili { :spiral: } pasta and kale AND it was only one bowl and one fork {ok actually stainless steel chopsticks} for cleanup 8)
Individually frozed salmon :shiver: from costco was put in the water bath set to 140°F for 30 minutes. When that was done I put dried pasta in one of my eco bowls and added 1.25 equivalents water by weight, then nuked it for 4 minutes, gave it a stir, then added a handful of kale plus the liquid in the salmon bag and put a silicone cover over it and nuked for another 3 minutes, stirred and added some marinara sauce with red pepper flakes and freshly grounded peeperz then cover and nuked for another 2 minutes. At this point the paste and kale are fully cooked so I throwed the salmon on and flaked up a bit and stirred it in :wiggle:
With siguie brand bread and some siguie brand kraut washed down with siguie brand guava soda it's a doog healthy-ish meal :thumbs:
FYI: Generally pasta requires 1.5 equivalents water by weight but it depends on the wattage of yer microwave AND I highly recommend a cover PLUS you need to stir to prevent sticking. Macaroni and Fusilli werk best for me :yes: Spaghetti requires too many stops to stir and will likely need oil added towards the end to prevent stickage.
Oh and I pre- seasoned a bunch of pork chops afores freezen :shiver: so I can pull them out and sous vide immediately. I likes sous videded chops, seared on my induction heated comal after. Then the pork is sliced thin and the comal is used to warm a burrito through as I build it ... fer realz :yes:
I put a large flour tortilla down spray the top with water so it don't dry out too much as I slooowly build it. I set the induction heater to 180°F and lay down some :cheese: on one half and refried :bean: s and/or brown rice on the other. I cook kale in the microwave using the pork juices as a steaming liquid OR just put down a layer of fresh spinach either is fine :yes: I likes a little siguie kraut or a little siguie brand pickled red onion, some hot sauce and of course the pork :liplick: Once I see the :cheese: is fully melted I wrap the whole thang together, turn up the heat to brown the now closed side and :boom: a quick and easy siguie brand burrito/chimichanga :wiggle:
I tries to avoid washing anythin due to um water restrictions :whistle: and not 'cuz I is lazy likes that :nono:
Oh and you may has noticed I'm :bump: ing up my my kale game 8) I gotted Dad's nitric oxide level at 450ppm or higher purty much continuously :yesss: It took about 3 weeks afores he was "purty sure" it was the NO but he is definitely feelin doog, doesing more and apprently the big thang is he's sleeping betterer :thumbs:
The key is of course siguie brand kale :yes: BUT he's also fond of beets which he growds and harvests himself BUT I also gotted him addicted to arugula and beet shrubbery salad with thinly sliced siguie brand pickled red onions {vinegar pickles not fermented}. He likes the mix of arugula with beet leaves {or spinach} and the red pickle tossed with a little of the vinegar.
Anywho he's not a fan of :lettuce: so he's got arugula started in the grow tent :angel:
His new found NRGeezes may be due to a non-lack of iron BUT he likes the doof and is intrigued by the nitric oxide thang so I gave him my last batch of NO test strips :drama: That said I thinxz those test strips are just overpriced aquarium nitrate testers ... so I ordered some and will hopefully be :check: ing them out this weekend 8)
FYI: I thinxz arugula has the same ballpark amount of NO as Kale :yes:

We'ze in the :rain: -y season here now, too.
Steamy, too. :heat: And flood watching for the next couple days. :yes:
And SE Kentucky had horrible flooding... at least 15 dead & 100s of houses simply washed away as if they'd been hit by a hurrycane. :sigh:
:siguie: I've often thunk about a vacuum sealer. :yes: I suck the air out of ziplocks with a straw.
But the bags ain't always airtight. :sigh:
I love that you are on the kale train. :woohoo:
I boughted the first kale in awile yesterday :cheer: cuz all we've had to choose from is dead kale. :sigh: Seriously dry...yellowing...I wouldn't consider it sellable, nonetheless eatable. :sigh: And the bagged ffuts is mostly dry, tough, chopped stem.
I have axshully put the bagged ffuts in the pressure cooker before tho wonder if cooking it down like that compromises the nutritional benefits. :dunno:
So this induction heater thang is what exactly?
Cuz my stove :suck: s at moderating. :sigh: It gets super crazy hot, but has the type of electric burner that keeps something on low by letting it cool off then SUDDENLY firing red hot periodically. :no: I have burned more since I gotted this stove than ever before in my life. :wtf:
Anyway... it's Nashville Day. :elfparty: Seems we be in a Nashville groove since the :heart: doctor & ffutses. :wiggle:

Now yer just bragging :buttkick:
:sigh: you can has our HOT :heat: and :egg: TREME Mega Drought Dry :yes: ... srsly take it puhleeez :uhoh:
Fer realz though I'm looking at the Tsunami 500 (https://www.tsunamiproducts.com/products/tsunami-500) atmospheric water harvester :yes: Definitely more than I need BUT as a combination siguie manor dehumidifier AND 100% organic atmospHeric water harvester :yesss: :hayseed:
" :siguie: I've often thunk about a vacuum sealer. :yes: I suck the air out of ziplocks with a straw.
But the bags ain't always airtight. :sigh: "
Purty much only "Freezer Bags" can be made air tight for any length of time :therethere: even then you may need some oil in the zippy locky part :dunno: BUT you can also use the "water displacement" trick for sous vide which is why regular bags can be fine :yes: This of course will not werk as easily for fermentation BUT it's doable :dunno:
I also came up with a siguie brand method for making vacuum bags using a piston like vacuum thang, putting a hole in a bag or bottle lid and using a piece of tape as a one time valve :yes:
I has a hand pump vacuum thingy meant for cars and with a piece of 4 inch PVC tube, some silicone cooking thangs and a siguie brand valve it's not particularly difficult to put a vacuum in regular bottling jars :nono: The main issue is how much pumping is required to git all of the air out :no: It's way WAY easier to has a machine does it :yes: Oh and yes of course I has some vacuum chambers in the garage but those are for keeping kemikillz ultra dry :angel:
"I love that you are on the kale train. :woohoo: "
Well to be fair as far as shrubbery goes kale isn't bad :nono: It's definitely not salad material :unthumbs: but cooked it's one of the few if not only "leafy green" that can hold some texture in soups and or after being boiled. Thangs like spinach go limp right away and even my favourite Napa cabbage has a relatively short window of doogness when heated.
The more important thang is that kale opens up a few options for Dad :yesss: He really likes it down then eaten as a cold side with other ffuts which means 3 or 4 days of High nitric oxide providing kale and I only has to cook it twice a week :thumbs: BUT eventually he'll git tired of it soooo :egg: perimentation 8)
Anywho the two easiest answers are kale soups of which I can now make literally dozens including siguie brand kale ramen thru minestrone with kale instead of spinach. Spinach is actually a doog option too but kale has 6 times more organo nitrates AND it reheats while spinach turns into a green sludge :blob: The other easy answer is siguie brand :bean: s ... kale and :bean: s just kinda go well together :dunno: so anythin from a pot-o-beans with tortillas to bean soup :thumbs: They all travel and reheat well so in addition to the one thang dad noes how to cook { :secret: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) & :fries: } I can load his fridge and freezer with endothelial NO precursors :happydance:
It's an :electrocute: device that uses high frequency alternating magnetic fields :vibes: to induce heat in magnetic metals :sebiv: In other wurdz :magic:
Srsly it kinda is I put a silicone cover over my induction heater and usually a paper towel down and put a pot or comal over that.
Here's the thang temperature-wise people cook on a stove at a temperature of 400°F or less 'cuz that's when nearly ebery oil is smoking. My silicone cover can handle 500°F but the pan can git hotter and paper doesn't burn until about 900°F. In other wurdz eberythang is safe and I can cookz with temperature impunity 'cuz searing on a grill is in the 500°F range so I can just pull it off with my setup.
In addition induction heaters are THE most NRGeez efficient :electrocute: which means my pans heat up super fast :frantic: so I has to use my thicker carbon steel pans or cast iron ... and the silicone cover is mostly to stop the cast iron from scratching the glass surface :wiggle:
Anywho I gotted the induction burner for the better thermal control :yes: so I can use it for making xylitol candy to searing meats PLUS I can does ffuts like program it to quickly make oatmeal without boiling over, same for cooking pasta :happydance:
Also yes, it's what I used to does some basic sous vide cooking :yes: The Instant Pot was fine for some thangs BUT the thermal control was plus or minus 10 to 15°F :woe: The induction burner with a pot of water was much better BUT I had to werk out how much water in which pot and at what settings to git the temperature I needed. This was fine :yes: and I used it this way for months :angel: but then Prime Day happened and there was this deal and it was a doog quality knockoff and programmable tenth of a degree control with an On/Off timer :wub:
"Cuz my stove :suck: s at moderating. :sigh: "
Yeah, that's referred to as cycling or heat cycling where it approximates a temperature based on average thermal propagation :yes:
The vast majority of heating systems use this on/off cycling method because it's more efficient, the problem is you need to choose cookware made to handle it ... in other wurdz not the cheap thin :carp: :nono: with the :egg: ception of boiling water you want sumthin with heat averaging properties in other wurdz doog thermal mass and conductivity. So thick cast iron, thick metal or specifically "clad" cookware :yes:
This is what lives on top of my induction burner Victoria Cast Iron Round Pan Comal Pizza Pan, 10.5" (https://amzn.to/3Sbnkdr) ... this is a beautiful thick but not too thick piece of cast iron. It heats up quick enough that I can cook on it within 2 or 3 minutes and currently has a nigh non-stick surface :happydance: Amonst it's many cool properties it also werks as a "heat diffuser" so non-magnetic cookware can still be used :angel: THIS is kinda what you need :yes: BUT you'll hate it :unthumbs: it's no nuf cooking on a diffuser regularly :nono: this is sumthin you use because you noes you need it for specific thangs OR unerstanz wht you is doesing :whistle:
Anywho you need better cookware and stove :yes: BUT think of this kinda like Nellie ... there is a perfect stove cookware out there for how YOU cook :yes: the trick is figuring out what you need/want and not just getting cheap ffuts and figuring how to werk with them :nono: That's actually fine to does :yes: kinda like drinking bad :coffee: it gives you a better idea what you want and what to avoid :oz:
In any event induction cookery is not for youse :therethere: iffen yer cookware werks it will burn :carp: even faster than yer stove burners AND more likely than not a lot of yer ffuts wont werk :nono:
Baby steps and needz afores wants :angel:
Speaken of wants this is my small stainless steel comal ...
IMUSA USA 8.5" Stainless Steel Round Comal w/Stainless Steel Single Handle (https://amzn.to/3BuCR1W)
It's purrrrffect for induction cooking :thumbs: heats up super fast, just the right size, only $10 and I'm srsly considering it's big brother :yes: Though I really don't need it with the cast iron one I already has which is also gonna werks betterer :sigh:
Anywho, I did a white vinegar boil to remove ffuts then seasoned it with avocado oil and scraped with coarse salt, then wiped dry {no oil}. It performs perfectly :wubsigh:
FYI: Yes, you does need to season stainless steel :yes: No it wont eber be as non-stick as cast iron or carbon steel :nonono:
MempHist's gotted souls :check: and Nashedville is progressing :check: Has nuf :wave:

:yesss: :woohoo:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/aqua_test_strips.jpg)
Cool! :thumbs: so I gotted some cheap aqua (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) tank test strips 'cuz I'm kinda guessing that the nitrate and nitrite testing reagents are gonna be the same as for saliva testing AND yeah looks purty much :siguie: right agin :irule: :woohoo:
I gave the Humanz test strips to zero boy and Dad has my other ones BUT i literally had an old Humanz used test strip lying around :whistle: so I included that one first, followed by an UnUsed strip and a strip I just used :yucky:
Anywho Nitrates and Nitrites are separate but are the first two respectively. The ppm level on the scale only goes up to 200ppm but that's twice nermal ans squared in green :thumbs:
In any event it looks purty clear that you can use the cheap aquarium test strips to :check: nitrate/nitrite levels in saliva AND they are much cheaper though the scales prolly don't go as high so a bit of a trade off :oz: That said test strips are generally not that accurate anyways :nono: they are more general area kinda thangs :yes:
One inerestin perk of these strips is there's a pH test at the bottom and ideally oral pH should be 6.2-7.6 with 6.7 being the nermal :yes: I'm a little on the acidic side but that's fine since I'm also drinking a siguie brand guava, POM and pineapple smoothie :liplick:
BUT for those inerested in oral pH this has it's perks beyond being cheaper :yes:

Sweet! You can check your chlorine levels now! :happydance:
:spitcoffee: :fishhat:
So I laughed at.... and then Prime Day happened... :hysterical:
:pey: I noes I needs betterer cookware. :sigh: But first I really really needs a better vaccuum cleaner. :yes:
We gots dust (durt :p )...and :cat: hairs... and my old Kenmore cannister is just about falling apart. :sigh:
I needs & wants a cannister. :yes: And I been seriously looking at this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P97CD5T/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I've mostly had Kenmores over the years, but the last one was not nearly as good quality as it's predecessors & I have less confidence in Kenmore now that Sears is no longer what it once was.
I dunno anything about Miele other than it's made in Germania :michafire:
and what I read in reviews. It may be stereotyping (positively) but I feel German made products are typically better quality.
My Rowenta iron makes mockery of the Black & Deckers before it & Butch is a solid Stihl fan, hasing Stihl weedeater, chainsaw & blower.
Nashvegas was very nice. :wiggle: The Indian restaurant was outstanding. :yes: And the theater performances were :luvcry:
But now we gots :rain: Still. :sigh:

I dunno about the Germanian engineering BUT Germanese manufacturing and product quality is way WAY betterer :thumbs: they has a way to goes with marketing and coming up with names that people can pronounce but otherwise yup doog ffuts :beerme: I lubs my Stihl chainsaw :thumbs: The gardeners even asked to use the stihl hedge trimmer I gotted Dad :yes: He's neber EBER used it 'cuz it's freaken looong and skeery but one large swipe and it's like a giant :electrocute: scythe :happydance: Yups them Germanese make some doog ffuts :thumbs:
Like :michafire: ... but without agreeing with her or in any shape or form agreeing with anyone else ... I prefer baglos too :yes:
AND like is so often the case ... I kinda made my own vacuum cleaning system :whistle:
Srsly :yes: I hate the way most vacuums are so flimsy and the vacuum is soooo :carp: like :pullhair: ... originally I was thinking whole house vac :yes: They is not THAT :egg: pensive considering how much most doog vacuums cost and how they only last a couple of years :wall: BUT I didn't want them messing up all the insulation in my walls trying to git the pipes around and thru both floors AND into ebery room :drama:
SO ... :whatever: ... I went with the next best AND vastly cheaper option I gotted a doog wet/dry vac {aka Garage/shop vacuum} I think it's 12 gallons 3 HP and has castor wheels and it :suck: s mightily :yesss: It comes with 15 feetz of hose and I added another 20 feets on that of "rigid" plastic hose followed by another 12 feetz of regular vacuum hose.
Anywho, it werks so well I needed to print a bleeder attachment for drapes and curtains. The hose is sooo long I barely have to move the thang except lift it to the next floor AND it's not even that heavy :nono: The only thang that's even remotely tricky or annoying is having to clean the 12 gallon durt suppository but that happens once a month at most and I clean house about once a week :wiggle:
Other than the one vacuum of VACUUMz I has an old Hoover Wind Tunnel that lives in a closet a cheap hand vac for :coffee: roasting cleanup {some chaff sneaks through the collector} and a Wyze cordless vacuum.

Srsly you can add an inline dust collector or liquid collector to anything making it wet/dry workable.

Oh the Lake Erie water I grew up on was heavily chlorinated. :yucky: I could not drink it. Unless it was turned into iced tea or coffee (back then). :yes:
I've had baglos. :yes: But really... I has LOTS of durt & hairs here. :anon: :yucky: I've never experienced a place that gets so dirty & spidery & dusty so fast. :uhoh: And I prefer not seeing it... plus I think it helps keep the dirt contained away from motor parts.
And shop vac. :nonono: We don't even has one any more. Our shop has a dirt floor. :rofl: Seriously.
This Kenmore has lasted at least 5 years maybe even 7 or 8. Gosh, time :witchfly: s so I'm not really certain.
:thanks: for inputs :hi5: I will likely get the Miele in due time. One day shall SUDDENLY be the last time I use the beat up, worn out vacuum I gots cuz already there have been times I was ready to throw it in the trash. :throwburger:

:ooops: ya snuck in there ...
I thinxz there's a :nickel: involved here somehow :scratch:
Oh yeah no worries eberyone wants what they want I just went with the shop vac because it was sooo much cheaper than a whole house vac AND was basically the same vac part :roll: Once I recognized that I realized all I needed was looong hosing that connected eberythang AND was gonna git the whole house vac attachment but it's basically a long hose with :egg: pensive attachments so I did my own :wiggle:
K I was trying to devise the cheapest, easiest "acceptable" way of eating one serving of "Greens" as a snack :yucky: Anywho I thinxz fresh baby spinach is the bestest option :yes: Kale is betterer but you has to noes what yer doesing especially iffen you want it tender enough AND not loosing any of the organo nitrates.
In any event fresh is fine iffen you hide it in a little citrus, ginger, miso along with some fresh cracked pepper and perchance a drizzle of a vinegar depending on the citrus BUT that's way too much werk :unthumbs:
So I thinxz 1 cup fresh spinach covered and nuked for 30 seconds is easier :yes: but to make it edible and easy to eat use a flour tortilla {you can use whole wheat tortilla iffen ya wants I refuse to goes that far :nonono:} a thin 1/4 inch thick spread of siguie brand refried beans over about 1/3 of the tortilla, spread the spinach over the :bean: s including any liquid, throw on some Valentina hot sauce and roll up :angel:
There are tons of variations that can improve the taste BUT no :cheese: and no Oil limits many of them. I like using a comal with a low heat setting, this way the tortilla is crisp just as the :bean: layer is warmed through, the spinach is one full serving and the liquid actually conatins a fair bit of the organo nitrates and the Valentina hot sauce is a simple not very hot no sugar added hot sauce that is cheap and surprisingly tasty. To make this more filling you can add siguie brand brown rice but I was going for simple quick snack that can be cooled and nuked whenever :angel:
It's hard to beat kale for nitric oxide :bump: {perchance arugula :yes: } but it's hard to eat kale as a snack unless you does a lot of prep and hide the flavour really well :uhoh: Spinach is a lot LOT easier :yes: After spinach I'd say powdered kale oblate followed by spirulina 3xcap :yes: Always keeping in mind that in addition to the organo nitrates you want antioxidants AND magnesium from the greens and fresh is almost certainly better for the antioxidants :oz:

Spinach burritos. :yes: :check:
Jacki has been eating those since she was 5...for lunch. :chuckle: Notsomuch as in years past but still from time to time.
When she was young she ate spinach salads most every morning for breakfast.... always the same. Spinach, onion, raw sunflower seeds, mushroom & olive oil. Every day. :faint:
B likes spinach a lot, too In any form. He even eats the :yucky: canned ffuts. :faint:
And I've learned to get him to accept kale it has to be chopped quite fine...totally stemlos...and cooked well. Then I can add it to soup, spaghetti (I put it in the pasta water as it boils), anything... he even liked the chopped salad with kale added in. :faint:

There are ALWAYS a lot of :quake: s around Iceland ... they is the :wheee: point above water on the Mid Atlantic Ridge and yeah their volcanoes are basically stuck on ON :yes:
"Spinach burritos. :yes: :check: "
Basically but I'm trying to make them more quesadilla-ish ... the idea is the minimum doof needed to make a small snack that contains and hides the flavour of "1 serving of greens" :yucky: PLUS quick, cheap and easy of course :yes:
Anywho, I kinda figured out with one Mission style tortilla I can make 4xgreens servings this way though 3xgreens is a nicer wrap. Storage is a little tricky because there's enough moisture to make the tortilla gummy in about 2 hours. Adding a little brown rice werks well to contain the moisture BUT you kinda need to mix eberythang together so the rice can be in contact and hold onto the liquid. The rice also :bump: s the calorie content. I was trying to hold the calories below 100 but with the rice I'd put the calories per serving between 100 and 150 :sigh:
There's basically no way of keeping those numbers below 3xspirulina :button: s :nono: even eating :spinach: raw is more :roll: BUT atleast this way there is digestible fiber :yes:
"B likes spinach a lot, too In any form. He even eats the :yucky: canned ffuts. :faint: "
Frozen :shiver: is better but canned is handy and I prolly has a dozen cans :squirrel: ed away :wiggle: canned is faster iffen ya need to make a spinach dip or siguie brand ravioli :angel: PLUS it's easy iffen yer making disgusting smoothies :yucky:
"Then I can add it to soup, spaghetti (I put it in the pasta water as it boils), anything... he even liked the chopped salad with kale added in. :faint: "
:gaah: :no:
Dincha seez all the bit's-o-ffuts I sed about thermal stabilities, Collard Greens and Pot Likker {aka pot liquor} :fist:
Or the "... spread the spinach over the :bean: s including any liquid ..." above :wall:
The thang about kale is the organo nitrates are predominantly thermally stable which is a doog thang :yesss: When you cook kale the cell walls are broken making it tender like a big sheet of bubble wrap with all of the bubbles popped. When the cells pop the contents are :buttkick: ed into the liquid where being thermally stable they hang out enjoying themselves in a hot tub party.
In soups this is fine :thumbs: in pasta cooking unless you drink the water yer :buttkick: ing the baby out when you toss it :brick:
That's why I werked out the system to cook the kale with the pasta AND not throw out any water :nono: the same with the :spinach: ... those last few drops of liquid are GOLD :yesss: organo nitrate and nitrite speaking :yes:
Now to be even more confusing ... steaming is better than boiling because it looses the least amount of nutrients and raw is sometimez better and sometimez not AND it depends on the people and prep :therethere:
Chewing raw kale gets the benefits from the oral microbe interaction BUT you need to chew the doof well like a :cow: Iffen you chew just enough to git the :carp: down you git a little oral :bump: the rest comes from digestion. The better you chewed the greens the easier and more efficient and complete the digestion will be. In particular mastication breaks the cell walls better than any of the other digestive processes PLUS the act of chewing is actually linked to the amount of digestive enzymes the body produces.
Now before you thinxz just juice the kale ... no :buttkick: ... well ok kale shots iffen yer really low on NO like drinking beet juice {durt water} is prolly a doog idea :yes: BUT in general no :buttkick:
People want a single thang either concept or pHyzical sumthin to either blame or credit BUT most ffuts are not so simple :therethere: Kale is doog and packed with nutrients the vast amjority of which you don't need 'cuz you already has plenty. Some thangs are healthy in certain amounts and toxic cancer causing substances at other concentrations and/or when missing secondary components.
Anywho in addition to them nutrients you also want both the digestible AND indigestible fibre :thumbs: It's all really quite fascinating :yes: a tad complex so I haven't done the :blah: :blah: :blah: thang :nono: :sealed: Just unerstanz Kale is doog :yes: what you git out of it depends on yer gut and oral biome :blob: :mushrooms: and how you cook it as well as how muches you eat ... it's a :balance: thang :oz:
Oh and yer durt pHarmin you should eat more than just kale :buttkick:
By the way how is the weather? It looked like you had severe :rain: all around youse :sofa:

Basically but I'm trying to make them more quesadilla-ish ... the idea is the minimum doof needed to make a small snack that contains and hides the flavour of "1 serving of greens" :yucky: PLUS quick, cheap and easy of course :yes:
Anywho, I kinda figured out with one Mission style tortilla I can make 4xgreens servings this way though 3xgreens is a nicer wrap. Storage is a little tricky because there's enough moisture to make the tortilla gummy in about 2 hours. Adding a little brown rice werks well to contain the moisture BUT you kinda need to mix eberythang together so the rice can be in contact and hold onto the liquid. The rice also :bump: s the calorie content. I was trying to hold the calories below 100 but with the rice I'd put the calories per serving between 100 and 150 :sigh:
There's basically no way of keeping those numbers below 3xspirulina :button: s :nono: even eating :spinach: raw is more :roll: BUT atleast this way there is digestible fiber :yes:
"B likes spinach a lot, too In any form. He even eats the :yucky: canned ffuts. :faint: "
Frozen :shiver: is better but canned is handy and I prolly has a dozen cans :squirrel: ed away :wiggle: canned is faster iffen ya need to make a spinach dip or siguie brand ravioli :angel: PLUS it's easy iffen yer making disgusting smoothies :yucky:
"Then I can add it to soup, spaghetti (I put it in the pasta water as it boils), anything... he even liked the chopped salad with kale added in. :faint: "
:gaah: :no:
Dincha seez all the bit's-o-ffuts I sed about thermal stabilities, Collard Greens and Pot Likker {aka pot liquor} :fist:
Or the "... spread the spinach over the :bean: s including any liquid ..." above :wall:
The thang about kale is the organo nitrates are predominantly thermally stable which is a doog thang :yesss: When you cook kale the cell walls are broken making it tender like a big sheet of bubble wrap with all of the bubbles popped. When the cells pop the contents are :buttkick: ed into the liquid where being thermally stable they hang out enjoying themselves in a hot tub party.
In soups this is fine :thumbs: in pasta cooking unless you drink the water yer :buttkick: ing the baby out when you toss it :brick:
That's why I werked out the system to cook the kale with the pasta AND not throw out any water :nono: the same with the :spinach: ... those last few drops of liquid are GOLD :yesss: organo nitrate and nitrite speaking :yes:
Now to be even more confusing ... steaming is better than boiling because it looses the least amount of nutrients and raw is sometimez better and sometimez not AND it depends on the people and prep :therethere:
Chewing raw kale gets the benefits from the oral microbe interaction BUT you need to chew the doof well like a :cow: Iffen you chew just enough to git the :carp: down you git a little oral :bump: the rest comes from digestion. The better you chewed the greens the easier and more efficient and complete the digestion will be. In particular mastication breaks the cell walls better than any of the other digestive processes PLUS the act of chewing is actually linked to the amount of digestive enzymes the body produces.
Now before you thinxz just juice the kale ... no :buttkick: ... well ok kale shots iffen yer really low on NO like drinking beet juice {durt water} is prolly a doog idea :yes: BUT in general no :buttkick:
People want a single thang either concept or pHyzical sumthin to either blame or credit BUT most ffuts are not so simple :therethere: Kale is doog and packed with nutrients the vast amjority of which you don't need 'cuz you already has plenty. Some thangs are healthy in certain amounts and toxic cancer causing substances at other concentrations and/or when missing secondary components.
Anywho in addition to them nutrients you also want both the digestible AND indigestible fibre :thumbs: It's all really quite fascinating :yes: a tad complex so I haven't done the :blah: :blah: :blah: thang :nono: :sealed: Just unerstanz Kale is doog :yes: what you git out of it depends on yer gut and oral biome :blob: :mushrooms: and how you cook it as well as how muches you eat ... it's a :balance: thang :oz:
Oh and yer durt pHarmin you should eat more than just kale :buttkick:
By the way how is the weather? It looked like you had severe :rain: all around youse :sofa:
FYI: it :rain: ed here :faint:

:pey: Severe :rain: all around but not here on :cloud9:
It's so purtiful here it just about makes my :heart: hurt. :wubsigh:
And doofus... :buttkick: I use just enough water to cover the pasta & greens (kale, spinach, chard, collards, whatever :p )
and then I save the water to use as broth. The greens axshully flavor the pasta. :yes: Cuz ya knows, I no longer add oil or salt to my pasta water. :nonono:
Dr Esselstyn says to cook the kale "5 1/2 to 6 minutes...til it's nice & tender". :chuckle: and they are the ones who advocate adding it to the pasta at the appropriate timing. I add spinach about 2 minutes before done time. Kale gets added at the beginning, (most pastas I gets...whole grain...cook in about 6 minutes).
And oh how I :wish: we had greens, greens, greens. :sparkle: I'm gonna :sparkle: make it so :sparkle: for :fall: & :snowball:
I had a lot of kale that I'd hoped to nurture through the summer so as to have it flourish for :fall: but it's gone. :candle:

Yeah don't it's an overly simplistic and less efficient method. Sure it's fine iffen you drink all the starch water separate :yucky: BUT an easier higher nutrient yielding method is put the raw kale in a covered bowl, add a little water and nuke it for 2 to 3 minutes, look at it and judge how much longer it needs and or iffen it needs more water then nuke :boom: until tender. The idea is to finish with perfectly tender kale and no more than 1ml of water. :angel:
Iffen you want you can put this on top of the freshly drained pasta OR craft the rest of your sauce in it ... I likes red peeper, crushed garlic, tomatoes either cut or pureed ... nuke it til hot THEN mix with pasta and freshly ground black pepper to taste. It's easier with a better :egg: traction and no need to drink tanassi starch water broth :yucky:
Oh as for greens ... :arugula: ... purty sure it's in the same ballpark as kale for organo nitrates but it also grows 30% faster :yes:
Um how HELLish is yer area agin? :horror: Kale should grow fine in full :sun: and hot weather just makes it tough and bitter which I totally unerstanz :yes: Srsly though what are you doesing to yer kale ... it's literally a plant that grows mostly without tending AND likes HECK temperatures :dunno:
Srsly most kale is indicated for zones 7 thru 10 and Henry County is coded as 7a ... what are you doesing to yer kale? :scratch:
Oh as for test strips ... the cheapest ffuts came in yesterday AND yup it werks :yes: the colours are not as intense but the colour chart is scaled accordingly so the numbers more or less correlate :thumbs:
I'd recommend the $10 for 25 strips to begin and more or less nail down your nitric oxide levels relative to doof consumption then for routine daily :check: s the cheap $7 for 200 test strips is a doog option :yes:

QuoteAs the ambient air temperature and soil heat up to 80°F and beyond, your kale will grow, but it's going to end up like an old naked guy getting some steam in a sauna—flaccid, bitter and just not that appetizing.
:chuckle:
https://fieldandfeast.com/fall/how-to-grow-kale/#:~:text=As%20the%20ambient%20air%20temperature,and%20just%20not%20that%20appetizing.
We've been mid to upper 90s & low 100s since the end of May. :faint:
And I noes how to grows kale. We've had LOTS of :buttkick: kale afores.
Your reading skills are lacking. :wedgie: It grows in zones 7-10 but it also says to plant in late summer (now) for fall kale-ing & in late winter for spring-ing.
I has 3 tiny vates kales in the Dance Hall that are hanging on...shaded a bit by grass. I only weed 3-4" around their stalk. Seriously, they be maybe 3" tall & they've been there all summer.
The ones I had in the peach tree garden did beautifully well til the :heat: kicked in. Then...as it gets dry & has to water the kale the bugs take over. Cabbage worms first, then any & everything that is seeking moisture. Then I cut it all back & then the root & stalk :candle:
In the past I have had a couple plants hang on thru the summer....then they spring to life when the temperature finally drops.
But only maybe 10% of the plants. The rest die. And then I plants more.
But for reals...once it gets 80 you doesn't want to eat the kale anyway. :yucky: It's like bitter leather. Not even leather...drier than that. :chuckle:
But....I can has fresh kale (and :arugula: ) most all winter AND has some to freeze for eating during the :dog: days of summer.
Nothin grows in the heat of the summer except certain weeds :laugh: , melons, okra, purple hull or black-eyed peas, peepers, cotton, soybeans, & surprisingly my Trail of Tears green beans :happydance: . Even at the Farmer's markets there is little to nothing except baked goods. Most gardens are finished by early July & few peoples down here even bother to plant for :fall:
That is why we are working more with microclimates. Dappled shaded areas... And cardboard mulch (our Amazon garden :rofl: ).
And yes, misting cools but it also promotes mildew & bugs & all sorts of humidity-related issues. :yes:
Drip lines are best but we does use 360* (pretend degree sign, k? :p ) sprinklers but only early in the day.
I gots herbs growing in FULL shade this year. :cheer: So far, so good. First time I've ever had parsley or basil in August, other than indoors.
Hasing the rare 'hot spell' or hot day is very very different than staying hot for months on end. :yes: The nighttime lows rarely get much below 75 & many nights remain above 80. I've gardened in northern Ohio, Louisville & now here & this is by far the most challenging. But we are still learning...still tossing out the old rules & listening harder to Nature.
:broccoli: <-----tried numerous times & ONCE had the most delicious :broccoli: Either too hot or too cold. :sigh:
But it beautiful... :bliss2: The crepe myrtles and tropical plants are on :cloud9: with me. :flowerom:
:bye: Off to Jackson...

Heya :michafire: :wave: :thanks: for the :rain: :bliss:
You can keeps the heat :yes: we gots more :sigh: Perchance the covid kidz can learn to swim :wiggle:
Srsly though :rain: in August :faint: that's so not a thang here :nono:
Sooooo :asiel: kale skillz basically zero :check:
Ooooh ya noes that bitter kale is chock full of Glucosinolates :thumbs: it's one of the thangs that makes shrubbery healthy to consume :yes:
Um so yer basically sayin yer climate :suck: s for growding vegetation AND you insist on being a durt pHarmer ... oh yeah that's gonna end well :roll:
"And I noes how to grows kale. We've had LOTS of :buttkick: kale afores."
Ya sure 'cuz it don't sound like it :whistle:
:flyball:
Um yeah ... first Hydroponics, second evaporative cooled hydroponics and third Agrivoltaic evaporitively cooled hydroponics :angel:
Basically as long as you has :sun: and water you can grow whatever :yes: oh and Fourth would be agrivoltaic evaporitively cooled hydroponics with battery bank and LED lighting and thermal regulator ... ya noes so you can grow :carp: all year round iffen that's yer thang :oz:
Ohai how is :b: doesing without the soso? :share: This is a point sufficiently after zero use that thangs should have realigned and found a new sosolos :balance: AND iffen there were any problems shoulda showed up by now :yes: Iffen not then time to look to discontinuing next in the med lineup OR atleast talk to the :heart: doc :angel:
78°F :no:

Yes, I hears you :blah: :lalala:
But really, I does. :righton:
I've looked into the agrivoltaics & :b: is innerested too. :clap:
And we're dabbling in hydroponics. :p
I was talking/thinking narrowly & thanks, you, for opening me up again. :buttkick:
And :b: is doing fabulously well. :bliss2:
So well that he's beginning to forget his meds. :chuckle:
I tolded him that's a sure sign of improvement cuz nobody forgets meds when you feel so bad.
He's every other daying the statin now to see iffin the shoulder improves. He began that just this week.
I'd like to see him :buttkick: the ranalozine before we has to pay for it again :chuckle: but I'm thinking he needs to wait just a bit.
Iffin he can get past this shoulder thingy he will be feeling better than he has in years. :yes:
In other newses... I had lunch with the soap lady yesterday (& Mom & ZA & Jacki). It is the most I ever talkeded to her & we really clicked on multiple levels. :yes:
Anyway...she is now distilling her own lavender (she buys bulk dried lavender) & she's made a new lemon balm/lavender facial bar that she said she was really loving.
I mentioned that I has 100s (literally) of lemon balm plants & she lit up. :sparkle:
So... iffin one (her, not me) was to wish to extract oil from lemon balm would it be better dried or fresh?
Also, does you know what stage of plant is optimum? I noes for teas 'they' say just before it blooms yields the most flavorful & beneficial tea. But for essential oil?
I have lemon balm in all stages cuz it is literally taking over the farm. :happydance:
Seriously, I even 'accidentally' got some started in the woods. :ashamed:
Maybe that's why we don't really have :skeeter:
I know not to give her tired, spent herb. :duh:
But I wondered if flowering or budded is ok or iffin just leaves is best?
Funny thing... Zen Aunt has wanted us to meet for years but something always happened to prevent it happening.
She is a high school friend of Zen Aunt & the 2 of them just reconnected 10ish years ago.
She gave me facial bars to try & I can't wait.

Agrivoltaics AFTER hydroponics :buttkick:
And that's not "dabbling" yer just poking at it :thwack:
Srsly agrivoltaics done "properly" is a delicate :balance: {some say symbiotic relationship} where the panel is used to shade plants while generating :electrocute: While it sounds simple it's vastly more complicated than growing plants on one side and generating power on the other.
You need to noes yer :sun: s intensity for the growding season, the PV panels shading properties at the determined height and angle then determine the light saturation point for what you are growing for the 90% growd afores harvest time. Then there's the whole making sure the panels are weather safe :windy: AND you need some rudimentary calculus to maximize the :electrocute: and plant yields :yes:
Youse should figure out hydroponics THEN use a solar panel to power it THEN figure out how to shade a standalone hydroponics module with sed panel :yes: THEN maybe a simple thermal regulator, DC cooling fan and or mister :wiggle: ... fer realz :yes:
FYI: I really only mentioned the agrivoltaics 'cuz kale and greens in general are one of the ideal crops for it :yes:
"And :b: is doing fabulously well. :bliss2: "
:egg: cellent :beerme:
"So well that he's beginning to forget his meds. :chuckle: "
Um yeah not so :egg: cellent :woe:
:woe: You BOTH really REALLY need to read up on statins OR atleast watch the video :wall:
Every statin is different and I don't noes iffen a study was done on the one he is taking now but for atorvastatin taking it ebery other day werked equally as well as taking it eberyday and even taking it ebery third day had sumthin like 90% of the benefits with the majority of side effects vanishing or being greatly diminished. The minority side effects that didn't goes awa Du duh DUN muskle and joint pain :therethere:
Here go read this ...
'Bad' Cholesterol Not As Bad As People Think, Shows Texas A&M Study (https://today.tamu.edu/2011/05/04/bad-cholesterol-not-as-bad-as-people-think-shows-texas-am-study)
... Don't worry it's not a research paper :nono: and I don't even agree with all of it :nono:
Here's the thang ALL statins reduce LDL 'cuz that's what they are designed to does :yes: Some side effects are due to drugs messing up thangs that shouldn't be messed up or in the way the molecule is degraded BUT some side effects are constant for ALL statins beacause they are the bodily cost of lowering LDL. For the most part not all but "most" ... muskle/tendon pain from statins is due to Du duh DUN low LDL levels or atleast some point lower than the body wants ... and this is not nearly as well studied as it should be BUT I blame statin makers for that :yes: watch the video :buttkick:
Anywho the nature of muskles is to rip, tear, fix, repeat ... this is how muskles stay strong :flex: and or grow :yes: Lowering the LDL level too much slooows down the repair process 'cuz cholesterol is needed ... leaving it at the rip, tear stage which becomes inflamed (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)
It's "possible" that every other day statin use will help his arm but it's very unlikely and more likely attributable to the new boj. Durt momma has the right idea :yes: because as mentioned afores ... numerous times :whistle: ... it takes about 3 months after statin use for statin muskle pain to begin the :bye: process :therethere:
Anywho from the Texas A&M article ... this is why I keep saying over and over :blah: :blah: ALL statins reduce muskle growth and strength :blah: :blah: it's the pHyzical cost of lowering LDL cholesterol. There are reasons for prescribing statins :yes: these are reasons where the benefits outweigh the pHyzical costs. People need to unerstanz ALL of the pHyzical costs {there's more than just muskles} and decide for themselves iffen the benefits are worth it :angel:
Main point don't use his arm pain as indicator of anything other than where it hurts at most it's a medication side effect AND it might not even be that :nono:
The Ranolazine on the other hand ... you should definitely talk to the :heart: doc :yes: It's a Calcium channel blocker used to tweak the :hearts: :electrocute: rhythm (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif) For the most part it's used as a secondary or assisting medication and I'm purty sure it was assisting the soso :scratch: which went :bye: :bye: :buttkick:
I say call the doc and ask :yes: it "should" be fine considering B's current condition and lack of soso but Calcium blockers are not my forte so perchance he'll be half dosing first :dunno:
Oh and be sure to journal the starting and stopping of meds :yes: but from my unerstanzing of the ffuts it doesn't / shouldn't has any effect on blood pressure or :heart: rate :nono:
Oh and after 2 weeks from completely :buttkick: ing the soso ... start :check: ing his SpO2 :yes: It may take a while {3 months} but that weird neber being above 95% should begin to rise as the methemoglobin begins getting replaced by the doog ffuts :suck:
Thursdazed AND 82°F :gaah: :no:

Every statin is different and I don't noes iffen a study was done on the one he is taking now but for atorvastatin taking it ebery other day werked equally as well as taking it eberyday and even taking it ebery third day had sumthin like 90% of the benefits with the majority of side effects vanishing or being greatly diminished. The minority side effects that didn't goes awa Du duh DUN muskle and joint pain :therethere:
Here go read this ...
'Bad' Cholesterol Not As Bad As People Think, Shows Texas A&M Study (https://today.tamu.edu/2011/05/04/bad-cholesterol-not-as-bad-as-people-think-shows-texas-am-study)
... Don't worry it's not a research paper :nono: and I don't even agree with all of it :nono:
Here's the thang ALL statins reduce LDL 'cuz that's what they are designed to does :yes: Some side effects are due to drugs messing up thangs that shouldn't be messed up or in the way the molecule is degraded BUT some side effects are constant for ALL statins beacause they are the bodily cost of lowering LDL. For the most part not all but "most" ... muskle/tendon pain from statins is due to Du duh DUN low LDL levels or atleast some point lower than the body wants ... and this is not nearly as well studied as it should be BUT I blame statin makers for that :yes: watch the video :buttkick:
Anywho the nature of muskles is to rip, tear, fix, repeat ... this is how muskles stay strong :flex: and or grow :yes: Lowering the LDL level too much slooows down the repair process 'cuz cholesterol is needed ... leaving it at the rip, tear stage which becomes inflamed (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)
It's "possible" that every other day statin use will help his arm but it's very unlikely and more likely attributable to the new boj. Durt momma has the right idea :yes: because as mentioned afores ... numerous times :whistle: ... it takes about 3 months after statin use for statin muskle pain to begin the :bye: process :therethere:
Anywho from the Texas A&M article ... this is why I keep saying over and over :blah: :blah: ALL statins reduce muskle growth and strength :blah: :blah: it's the pHyzical cost of lowering LDL cholesterol. There are reasons for prescribing statins :yes: these are reasons where the benefits outweigh the pHyzical costs. People need to unerstanz ALL of the pHyzical costs {there's more than just muskles} and decide for themselves iffen the benefits are worth it :angel:
Main point don't use his arm pain as indicator of anything other than where it hurts at most it's a medication side effect AND it might not even be that :nono:
The Ranolazine on the other hand ... you should definitely talk to the :heart: doc :yes: It's a Calcium channel blocker used to tweak the :hearts: :electrocute: rhythm (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif) For the most part it's used as a secondary or assisting medication and I'm purty sure it was assisting the soso :scratch: which went :bye: :bye: :buttkick:
I say call the doc and ask :yes: it "should" be fine considering B's current condition and lack of soso but Calcium blockers are not my forte so perchance he'll be half dosing first :dunno:
Oh and be sure to journal the starting and stopping of meds :yes: but from my unerstanzing of the ffuts it doesn't / shouldn't has any effect on blood pressure or :heart: rate :nono:
Oh and after 2 weeks from completely :buttkick: ing the soso ... start :check: ing his SpO2 :yes: It may take a while {3 months} but that weird neber being above 95% should begin to rise as the methemoglobin begins getting replaced by the doog ffuts :suck:
Thursdazed AND 82°F :gaah: :no:

K then, did you say dried or fresh lemon balm for distilling? :pie:
S'ok. I can google.
Better yet, I gots :book: s about herb ffuts. :check:
:bsl:
So the doctor done said the ranalozine next. The lisinopril can stop iffin his BP gets below 120 & stays there. :yes:
He said BP in the 130s is prolly optimal for a guy B's size. :dunno:
He just didn't say how soon on the ranalozine. Jimmy, the interventionalist, prescribed that & the Cardiologist didn't seem to think it very critical.
He was in favor of never stopping the statin. :chuckle:
And yes...statin muskel eating... I noes. :sigh: I ain't never taking one. Ever. But surprisingly, I don't make ALL decisions for :b::rofl:
In energy newses...yesterday afternoon a shift occurred. :wtf: :sofa: :mrcrankypants:
And now.... :tooshay: Deja vu. :crazyeyes: :squirrel:
LAst night I wondered what was up. :wtf: :earth:
This morning I amembered we are approaching the 8/8 Lion's Gate. :sparkle: :norway: :spiral: :sparkle:
Supposedly we are to leave everything no longer needed on this side of the gate. :throwburger:
Take only what we want in the New World through to the other side.

...
:blah: :blah: :whatever:
Ya didn't sez what kind of distillation :buttkick: :drama: BUT iffen it's steam distillation as is usually the case it mostly don't matter :nono: So fresh is best iffen you can harvest and distill in one day ... dried is better iffen it's sumthin that is harvested slooowly to git enough.
Also does lemon balm scent come mostly from the flowers or the leaves? :scratch: Lavender is a speeshul case and French Lavender {my favourite :wub: } is even speeshuler :yes: the relative amounts of the constituent in the leaves and stem are different in the flower espeeshully as the flower opens. The freshly opened flowers has the most of the delicate { :secret: most volatile} components while the leaves and stems have more thangs like camphor and linalool. The thang is the most "realistic" {aka best} oil comes from a combination of flower and stem. Oil from dried petals is very different and kind of "flat" one note almost fake lavender scent.
I aint neber done anythin with lemon balm beyond putting a fresh leaf in tea to steep :dunno: the only components I had any interest in was geraniol and lemon balm isn't a particularly doog source :unthumbs:
Anywho I posted about this thang a whilez ago Lavenoil (https://lavenoil.com/product-category/distillation-kit-for-essential-oils/) ... it's kinda cool :yes: Overpriced :faint: but cool and is sumthin you'd has nuf with :yes:
The one at lavenoil uses a "Dry" steam distillation protocol ... essentially steam once formed can be superheated then forced through the :egg: traction medium.
This is one type of distillation though the more common is sumthin referred to as "in situ" steam distillation where you put the ffuts to be :egg: tracted in the water and heat eberythang like this thang ... 100ml Distillation Apparatus (https://amzn.to/3SyGGJU) <= Amazon Link
It's a lot cheaper that way and trivial to make yer own setup but there are givez and takez ... lavender oil is BEST produced using the "Dry Steam" protocol :yes:
Anywho now I'm curious about Lemon Balm :hmm2: which way is bestest :wiggle: Iffen you wanted eucalyptol aka eucalyptus essential oil in situ is best 'cuz you break the cells in the tough eucalyptus tree leaves. Clove :egg: traction to make eugenol is also trivial this way :yes: Cinnamon actually can go either way but the "dry" method provides a better product.
Give her the fresh ffuts, cut early in the morning and then refrigerated but definitely ask her how she plans on doesing the :egg: traction :share:
"So the doctor done said the ranalozine next. "
Cool so was that what was said afores or didja just call and that's what he said?
It looks like a pretty easy just stop taking it kinda medication BUT I does not noes Calcium channel whatsit nor does I likes the idea of changing :heart: rhythms :uhoh: The doc might say half dose or alternate daze :dunno:
Regardless it's supposed to be playing second fiddle so it shouldn't be a big thang :nono:
I thunked :b: was micro dosing the lisinopril :scratch: ... as I recall he didn't really has high blood pressure it was "Labile Hypertension" which is more like stress induced or situational high blood pressure.
Anywho it sounds like he's darn close to a full monty (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) :buttkick: :thumbs:
The neat thang is after that happens the next doctor visit will be the real :b: data :yesss: In other wurdz the effect of the Dr.E protocol PLUS culinary wasteland adulteration :whistle: will become evident :woohoo:
Yes, I git it he feelz lots better and is doesing doog but tech :nickel: ly there is no way to separate the diet/lifestyle changes from the medicatoions 'cept to :buttkick: one and see the results :popcorn: Viva la Investigacion :woohoo:
Friday :yesss: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dance2.gif)

You goes Thurzdaze, Kaleday, Caturday, Sleepallday, Moanday. :rofl:
I noes lemon balm tea & that it comes from the leaves. :yes: But thanks. She's just playing around anyway.
She makes these quite expensive, & ingredient-heavy, soaps becuz she loves it & not for monies so mostly now her 'soap company' is a hobby that pays for itself. :chuckle:
I thinks leaflos or budding/barely flowering is best, depending on what I can find. If not now then in a couple weeks I shall have tons more cu we gotted 4 1/2 inches of :rain: yesterday! :faint: The grass is waist high! :nonono: :yes: :hayseed: :nonono:
Boy oh boy the energies keep getting turned up. :electrocute:
I imagine a giant Energy Dial that keeps getting bumped up...without much time to acclimate to the temperature/vibe before... :no:

Yup! t'was a kaleday AND he gotted more than usual :no:
Apparently 1 cooked or just blanched kale can be frozed :shiver: for up to 6 months ... who nude :dunno:
Anywho he gotted some :wheee: tupperware or some such freezer storage containers that are little hemicubes {stack 2 to make a cube} and figured I could make :egg: tra and he'd freeze it so when wynter comes and there is no fresh kale :no: he can just unfreeze 'em :oz:
Of course a little :egg: tra ended up being twice as muches AND he literally doesn't has big enough pots so I ended up nuking 6 batches of kale to make it fit the biggest useable pot he had :drama: BUT other than that it was fine :angel:
Also t'was the beginning of Attack Harvest of the Killer :tomatoe: s :drool: Srsly he fixeded the veggie jail soil AND the jailed :tomato: s are producing big time and they is really doog NOT Dad brand hydroponics doog :sigh: BUT way WAY better than any store bought :carp: :happydance:
Anywho dinger was siguie brand fried :tomatoe: s and :egg: s with sides of kale and siguie kraut ... plus some store bought sourdough which was ok ... and finished up with peach :pie: :secret: he also ate beets :horror:
That was surprisingly tasty and nuf was had by all :bliss2:
Oh we also had a handful of thornlos raspberries ... they was "ok" but this is the first real production year so they git a starters pass :yes:
Anywho, dad is consisten at 400+ppm nitric oxide :yes: purty sure he's feelin the effects positively ... 'cuz for some reason he decided he had to excerbike more :roll: he figured he was only going a couple of miles to git :eip: unlike what he used to does so he's been doing an :egg: 5 to 10 miles on the excerbike and walking with stiff legs :woe: I had to remind him that his trike is twice the weight of his bike :roll:
I noes ... :bee: thankful :blah: :blah: :whatever: I just wish he wouldn't over :egg: ert himself to the point he's sore and can't walk normal :roll: I mean he's already harvesting atmospheric water in gallon jugs and walking it over to fill the fountain so his birds and :bee: s are happy as well as watering the non-jailed riffraff vegetation le :sigh:
NRGeez reporting :happydance:
Dunno about the dial but there's just sooo muches going on ... europe and espeeshully Germanesia :frantic: to build up gas supplies and/or setup :windy: turbines and solar afore winter comes to visit. Then there are all the countries that have no doof on account of Russia, then of course Russia who is getting desperate running out of people and equipment and sending prisoners to fight :roll: China :roll: holy :carp: where to start there ...

Anywho there is a section for promoting solar panels and :windy: systems :yes: Youses would does better going for a 100kW or mores micro generation system grant.
For yer location based on nuthin but me guessing based on utility maps ... Ideally you'd want ~80% solar and 20% :windy: but solar has the advantage of no real maintenance for 25 years :nono: :windy: has regular maintenance and 10 year +/- 5 replacement costs BUT :windy: pHarmz have their advantages :yes:

Boy oh boy prices are going up here, too. It's quite depressing shopping now. :sigh:
Things that usta be $1 are $1.40. Things that were $10 are now $12.
And oh so thankful I doesn't buy meat. :eek: I 'just happened' to glance at a chuck roast the other day whilst out...
$38! Minimum wage here is still $7.25 an hour & factries start at around $12 per hour.
So ONE lousy chuck roast can cost half a day's pay! :scared:
Clothing is durt cheap. :sigh: But everybody I noes has too much clothing already. :yes:
And gas has gone down to a little over $3 a gallon. That's helpful.
So yes, sig, Friday in the House of Representatives. My government teacher in high school had already checked out. He had 2 hearing aids & still could not hear & really didn't give a :carp2b: about anything. Plus...the class I was in was at lunch time...in a room right next to the very large & noisy commons/lunchroom area & we were most interested in what was going on outside the windows...in the lunchroom. :chuckle: I think I gotted a B, but I didn't learn a thing. :nonono: I does have fond memories of that class tho. :chuckle: It was nuf. :wiggle: :rofl:
Grants! :gstars: :sun: :electrocute: :sun:
Energies... :wtf: :bliss: :wtf: :bliss: :bsl: :gaah: :bliss: :splat:

Spoo. Forgot to mention that :b: is every other daying the ranalozine for 2 weeks...til he runs out. :chuckle:
So by August's end he oughta be on baby aspirin, 5mg lisinopril & 20 mg every other day rosuvastatin. That's it. :happydance:
Plus the spirulina, B12, D3, K2, & Kyolic garlic. :wiggle:
And he still carries the nitroglycerin every day. :sparkle:
Though I wonder about the expiration on that? I read somewhere (maybe on the leaflet) that it lasts 5 months & it also said to store in the refrigerator. :huh: Tis hard to do iffin you keep it on your person. :huh:

" :dunno: about winter in 3 months"
My unerstanzing was Germania doesn't has full LNG infrastructure 'cept for sumthin in the western regions so natural gas deliveries cannot be simply dropped off at the port and automagically git distributed around the country. The main issue being the number of peoplez who rely on natural gas to heat homes in the winter :shiver:
Other than that the strategic gas reserves are only at 30% capacity :uhoh:
There's a lot of hand waving and pencil pushing but as near as I can tell the more or less agreed upon result is yer all ~15% shy of what is needed to make it through wynter :shiver: The biggest issue is the general public in yer country is mass buying :electrocute: space heaters ... which is fine but it shifts the burden from LNG home heating to LNG power generation :electrocute: This may still help iffen people heat just one or two rooms BUT yer grid isn't awesome :therethere: and there's likely be power outages like we gits when too many people turn on AC :uhoh:
That said yer Nuklear :boom: plants are supposed to close by the end of this year ... but :egg: tending their life by one year {or 6 months} would generate 12% of the :electrocute: ya needz for wynter warmz :angel:
Anywho, German solar has really taken off :yes: 'cuz there's a lot of subsidies AND FYI Germanian solar panels are way WAY better than the cheap chinese :carp: :yes: That said it looks like the main problem is Germanian's prefer to Rent instead of Buy their homes ... is that right? :scratch:
In any event the preppers in yer country are buying out a LOT of prepper ffuts getting ready for Winter so not only are prices going up but most everything for doof storage to warmz keeping is going up even fasterer :horror:
I hope you enjoy yer VayKay ... soon ... :thumbs:
"And gas has gone down to a little over $3 a gallon. That's helpful."
:faint: ... OUR gas prices went down too a lot A LOT :yes: in addition to the market drop our speeshul summer blend is done so BIG drop :yes:
Ya noes to around $5.50 :sigh:
On the plus side I noes what eCar I want :yes: ... The Sono Sion :thumbs: it wont be available in the US to at earliest late 2023 :nono: BUT it will be in the UK early 2023 and you can even preorder :yes:
Oh and prices here have skyrocketeded too :faint: BUT I was ready 8) :bliss: I got my chest freezer full :yesss: mostly :cow: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) and pork :cheer:
Now that I has a smoking :guns: sous vide setup and induction cooker I got this :yesss: PLUS I has a a ton ... ok not a ton but many many pounds of :bean: s in many varieties as well as rice :angel:
"Spoo. Forgot to mention that :b: is every other daying the ranalozine for 2 weeks...til he runs out. :chuckle: "
Sweet! :thumbs: though I really hopes that's what the doctor said to does :whistle: I can unerstanz why it may be a doog idea to alter yer :heart: s rhythm but it kinda freaks me out :uhoh: it's a little like tweaking yer cars timing to be slightly off ... and that just seems sooo wrong :sofa:
As for the nitroglycerin it's fine but here's a study ...
Open-Label Study of the Stability of Sublingual Nitroglycerin Tablets ... (https://www.ajconline.org/article/S0002-9149(18)31750-8/fulltext)
Personally I think he should has non-Time-Release soso but nitro does werk faster :dunno:
Um does 5mg lisinopril do much? :scratch: that's another helper med which usually goes with sumthin else :dunno: Does his BP change on days he fergets :dunno:
Also lisinopril at low doses is more renal {kidney} protective :egg: cept when used with NSAIDs then it's more kindey :club: and :buttkick:
Didja git the memo about this? 'cuz I thunked he was taking NSAIDs for the shoulder thang :thwack:
Oh Kyolic garlic that is doog ffuts :thumbs: But doesn't it have the same BP effect as the lisinopril? :scratch: In fact I swear there was a paper that promoted Kyolic garlic or garlic :egg: tract :scratch: over low dose BP meds :yes: I recall the main "side effect" was garlic breath :oz:
Anywho doog boj B :beerme:
Now be sure and journal all changes and personal health data like changes in bp and doog health feelinz :yes: and be sure the timez and dates are accurate :angel:
Going from Angina struggles to no medications and being fine is what people new to the :heart: scene want to noes. Along with the what didja does and how dija does it :oz:

Journal :check:
And kyolic garlic don't make yer breath stank. :wedgie:
I gotted it for him mostly to counterract the sugars. It really does 'kill' yeast. I took it as part of my getting off prednisone, plaquenil & methotrexate regime 25 years. I honestly didn't knows about the cardio benefits I just knew he needed it. :p
So the nitro would keep longer if he carried a purse. :rofl: Axshully, he carries it in his lunchbox cooler. :yes:
So Dr Jimmy, the Interventionalist, added the ranolazine & Dr Gibson, the primary cardiologist, didn't seem to think much of the drug. He said, "It doesn't really do much anyway.". :chuckle:
And his BP has remained stable around 130/68 which B does not think so great but the Docs think it fabulous. I guess it's all relative. :dunno: Dr Gibson says the lisinopril acts more like an ACE inhibitor in B's case, becuz...again...his heartrate is too slow for the usual-prescribed ACE inhibitors.
And...he is taking the minimum amount of NSAIDS. HE axshully says the shoulder feels better this week.
OMG, he weed-eated at high speed for 2-3 hours in 100+ degree temperatures on Saturday with NO ill effects other than being awfully tard at the end of the day. :chuckle: With a heavy, gas-powered weedeater that would have broken me in half after 20 minutes of usage. :faint: I kept cautioning him...he kept saying he promised he was fine.
So I think the collaterals have matured :yesss: and the diet combined with stresslos boj has kept the BP down. Hence, anginalos. :angel:
Speaking of sboj...he's still not in the new boj. :chuckle: HE gotted the raise, was officially promoted on 8/1. But the guy replacing him as receiver bailed :run: . So B continues in old boj at new salary. :cheer: Until they hire another one. :laugh:
:horn: ENERGIES!!! Last night...yesterday...super super high. I went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows (vibrationally) a hunnerd times over throughout the day yesterday with NO external cause. :bliss: :gaah: :bliss: :gaah: :bliss: :gaah: :bsl:

Doog boj! :thumbs:
You should still has a look at fireplace heat pipes aka "heat exchangers" :yes: They is an easy way to git more heat into the house from a fireplace fire.
Huh :huh: not sure what they is called for Amazon but they are better and cheaper DIY ... like this one (https://www.woodlanddirect.com/fireplace-heaters-and-blowers/) ... you can use with or without the blower. The thang is most peoplez just take a piece of pipe and bend it themselves ... the only caveat is the air in is on the bottom so you want it outside the ash line sucking in the cold room air :suck: and the heated air comes out the top so that part needs to :egg: tend beyond the fireplace or the hot air will goes up the chimney :santa:
Iffen yer ready that's fine :beerme: I just wish winter was cold enough I could research heating :drama:
"And kyolic garlic don't make yer breath stank. :wedgie: "
Tanassi breath pre-stunked :check: doog to noes :yes:
"It really does 'kill' yeast."
:roll: noooo it really does kill bacteria :blob: regular garlic would be better against yeast :mushrooms: however it is immune boosting :bump: and more importantly it's anti-inflammatory and the main thang for B is it improves arterial elasticity { :secret: less stiff} PLUS it's gut biome friendly :yes:
Honestly the longer he goes without angina the less nitro he's gonna need so having it sloowly degrade is like automagically decreasing the dose should he need it which I think is a doog thang :yes: But in general just assume it's doog for 2 years and don't worry about it :nono:
There's really only a few medications where :egg: piration is an issue :yes: { :secret: tetracycline }.
"He said, 'It doesn't really do much anyway.'."
OK yes that's quite evident BUT "doesn't do much" does not mean safe :nono: In a ooz lion's don't do much but it doesn't mean you can goes play with them :nono: Changing the heart rhythm means altering the timing in the valves as well as contraction of the muskles.

Ranolazine messes with the dominoes which freaks me out 'cuz it's not one thang one effect and it's not even clear how it does what it does other than Calcium channel blocking :roll: Perchance it's mostly harmless and stopping :shiver: :turkey: is not a problem :nono:
One of the Great lessons I've learned in my 8 years :om: it's the little thangs you don't unerstanz or didn't see coming that begets the biggest Jenga'z :horror:
So yeah :buttkick: Ronald as soon as possible and save some monies :thumbs:
"And...he is taking the minimum amount of NSAIDS. "
That's doog :yes: so he's getting the minimum amount of kidney damage :beerme:
Srsly iffen he's going to take NSAIDs Don't take lisinopril :nono: the NSAID literally cancels out the benefits and literally hurt the kidneys. One of the reasons kindeys are in such high transplant demand is cardiovascular disease and kidney disease are linked. And a reason for increased blood pressure is reduced kidney function. This is also why the use of NSAIDs increase the number of people with chronic kidney disease {CKD} and why dialysis centers are becoming so lucrative :oz:
"OMG, he weed-eated at high speed for 2-3 hours in 100+ degree temperatures on Saturday with NO ill effects other than being awfully tard at the end of the day. "

It's still great that he can :egg: ert himself to that :egg: tent without angina :thumbs: just unerstanz it's cold :shiver: and dry {low humidity} that's gonna be more challenging for :egg: sercise :yes: Though possibly he's already done gone and roto rootered the clogy bit :angel:

:onoes: Thursdaze came on Wednesdaze! :frantic:
So in your opinion, sig, does you think it was the 45% blockage or the 100%+collaterals that was causing the angina and tachycardia? Just curious.
I do believe that inner changes have already occurred to some degree or another cuz again, he just changes so dang fast. :faint:

Yup we had two this week ... ok 2.5 dang these Thurdasies :daisy: make weeks loooong :gaah:

As one of the docs or nurse practitioner's mentioned :egg: sercise induced angina occurs at the 60% to 70% cloggy point atleast for coronary artery clogs. So tech :nickel: ly it's neither or more accurately EBERYTHANG :yes: and not just the cloggy bits :nono:

The main progress that B made in a very short time is :buttkick: inflammation and a big :bump: in arterial elasticity and flow rate.

I've searched for any info on how long it takes to clear up a cloggy artery but the medical consensus is you cannot so the best I could find was Dr.E with an angiogram showing a clog and one taken 18 months later going oh look it's gone. The problem is an artery is composed of many different layers and while endothelials replenish in as little as 8 hours smooth muscle takes months and there's that whole clearing out of the foam cell :gaah:
Anywho, he's on the right path and it looks like it's gonna be an inerestin trip :share: and from this point possibly even uneventful :thumbs:

Silymarin is basically Milk Thistle :egg: tract and it does tons of thangs for the liver try googling with a +cholesterol ... same for niacin {B3} ... oh and of course ascorbic acid ... srsly I thinxz Linus Pauling was right :thumbs:

Uneventful is awesome! :happydance:
That's purty much the protocol I followed when I was getting past the connective tissue/fibromyalgia/EBS/whateveritwas.
I took milk thistle, large doses of vit C & biggie amounts of high dose B complex. :yes:
That was after having done 2 rounds of an Epstein Barr regimin from Hannah's Herb shop on advice of a psychic. :yes: For reals.
I just looked cuz I honestly has no idea what I took from Hannah's.
One of the supplements was this:
Ingredients
Eucalyptus, Club Moss, Tarragon, Condurango Bark, Tea Leaf, Jasmine Flower
I find that velly inntewesting being as 22 years later (yes, 22 years :faint: ) I gave up coffee & became a jasmine tea drinker. :huh:
The other supplement was this:
Ingredients
Raspberry Leaves, Basil, Lettuce.
And there was a homeopathic sublingual tincture. :yes:
It was this:
https://www.hannasherbshop.com/collections/specialty-kits/products/b-e-kit-vira-vibropathictm-and-herbal
That began me on the healing path that continues today. :wiggle: Twas late 1995 or early 1996.
I knew absolutely nothing about nutritional supplements until that time.
That was a great esplanation. :righton: :thanks:
Going out for fruit & veggies today... :elfparty:

And it's not about me, it's about what I DID.... intuitively. :buttkick:
So I just read all that to him. :yes: And I figure he's getting closer to :throwburger: tossing the statin as well.
And I appreciate the other advisaries. :yes:

Oh didja has coronary arterial disease back then too!?! :drama: solly I didn't noes :therethere:
:buttkick:
Purty sure yer 90's "thang" was fibromyalgia or atleast that's how it would be diagnosed today and yeah John Myers' cocktail is a leading contender for curing the thang :yes: The problem is no one is completely sure what his cocktail contained and he died in I thinxz '84 :scratch:
That said the contemporary formula includes high dose vit.C which is why I noes about it 8) Ya see there's a maximum level of vit.C that is attainable by ingestion alone ... with an IV you can git more :yesss: In fact orally the maximum plasma level is only 220 micromol/L while with an IV you can git up to 26,000 micromol/L or roughly 100 times more :bliss:
NIH vit.C Factsheet (https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminC-HealthProfessional/)
Of more particular interest is ... The role of vitamin C in the treatment of pain: new insights (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5391567/) ... it's tech :nickel: and covers a bunch of different thangs :faint: ... but one thang kinda stands out ...
As it turns out the specific case report is a person with multiple comorbidities including fibro BUT yeah it's true :yes:
Anywho I thunked the Myers' cocktail party ffuts might be a doog way to introduce Pan to the idea of IV vit.C therapy :whistle: Another plus is this therapy is better for RA than osteoarthritis AND it's still doog for that just better for RA :angel:
The neat thang about the Myers' thang is iffen someone were say hesitant to bolus themselves at home with high dose ascorbic acid via a parenteral protocol then there are lots of alternative med clinics :woo: willing to does the Myers' thang :thumbs: I of course have IV bags and would does it myself but ya noes ... baby steps :yes:

In ketosis muskle cramps are usually due to lack of Magnesium and or dehydration vs Potassium which is for nermal folk cramping. The thang is Potassium can be tricky for CAD patients ... some of the meds build it up others flush it out.

And he still eats lots of salt. :sigh: He says he 'has to'. :chuckle: He snacks on pretzels with yellow mustard all the time.
And adds lotsa salt to doof. :sigh: :culinaryilywasted: I tried stopping him but he says he gots to have something. :woe:
And that RA Vitamin C ffutses is incredible! :gstars:
I tried to find someone who could/would administer IV C but did not (in Nothern Ohio in the 90s).
And there is still nobody to does it around here. :nonono: You live in a different country, amember? :pie:
I asked my rheumatologist about it & he said he could not advise nor administer without them coming for his license but then he added that "my wife reads all that stuff & shows it to me. and I will say that she gives me supplements every day & I take them.". :chuckle:

Well he is married to youse so it's not like we didn't noes he was :bsc: :stun: :therethere:
That's the thang though working out in heat and sweating is vastly better ... cardiovascularly speaken ... than heavy :egg: ertion in the cold :shiver: ... atleast until ya run out of sodium :uhoh: so he's prolly right and he does needz it :yes: NOT sure about the carbs though :roll: though perchance that too :idunno:
For the most part sports drinkz are just marketing gimicks :yes: Werken out for an hour or two and you really don't need nuthin speeshul ... the thang is the 2h+ is kinda the transition zone ... iffen you've been sweating profusely for that long and intend to keep werken THEN yeah sporty drinkxz :thumbs: The doog thang is losing a litre of liquid lowers yer blood pressure so even with CAD you can go longer :thumbs: Ya noes assuming you don't git heat stroke or one of the heat stress thangs :horror:
Anywho, main point ... yer well water is nigh distilled {no :electrocute: salts} ... ketotosis involves more water and the minerals needed/lost are proportionately different ... it's a thang to keep in mind.

There's actually a whole lot more to it too :cheer:
Intravenous High-Dose Vitamin C in Cancer Therapy (https://www.cancer.gov/research/key-initiatives/ras/ras-central/blog/2020/yun-cantley-vitamin-c) <= from NIH Cancer Institute
I am of the opinion that Linus Pauling was right :thumbs: or atleast on the right track and there are just a bunches of thangs left that need fine tuning :yes:
The big one is when to use oral High Dose C vs IV C and when where why to mix 'n match. The stoopidest thang is that the RDA was set arbitrarily between the amounts needed to avoid scurvy {~2mg to10mg/day} and the amount after which your body would choose to no longer retain :egg: cess {~200mg/day}.
Anywho, anythin that puts stress on the body from mental/emotional stress to environmental stressors and disease ALL end up :bump: ing the bodies requirements for certain thangs vit.C and B12 are just two ... though for the most part it actually looks like ALL of the B vitamins need :bump: ing but B12 needs the BIGGEST :bump:
"And there is still nobody to does it around here. :nonono: You live in a different country, amember? :pie: "
Actually other countries have more places because fewer requirements :yes: Also not sure what you consider nearby but Franklin and Nashville ... Nashville prolly has a couple plus a bunch more to the east :dunno:
About 61Five Health & Wellness (https://61five.com/nashville-iv-therapy-pricing/) <= definitely still open :yes:
Anywho it looks like you need a license or prescription to order the fluid bags but you can get the lines 'n eberythang via Amazon :yes: so getting an electrolyte bag, saline or perchance :banana: bag cannot be that hard :dunno:
Regardless I thinxz oral administration should be the first thang :yes: I particularly recommend the gummy C from Costco :thumbs: but I also has the kilo block of pure C ... it's useful ffuts :yes: done right you can make some amazingly brilliant green pesto :angel:
Oh and back in the 90's there were clinics that did it but mostly you'd need to goes to either chiropractors or acupuncturists both would also has needed a medical degree. But yeah back then even dentists could has done it :yes: I also noes some military surplus stores sold IV bags :angel:
Oh and since so many of youses have gone over to the daaaark siiide :basementcat: :mushrooms: ... and no longer appreciate :cow: :drama:
You should has a look at essential amino acids ... 9 of them :yes: ... histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine ... and I thinxz it was lysine that most plant based people ar short on :scratch: But another one to consider is Taurine :yes: not an essential :nono: BUT a doog idea to :bump: on occasion along with Creatine :angel:
FYI: amino acids are involved in protein production of course BUT they also has other functions and when the body has limited availability some functions are turned OFF :bye:
For :egg: ample Threonine is a main player in muskle and connective tissue and helps keep thangs strong and is found in significant amounts in the :heart:
Iffen you eat meat regularly yer basically covered :yesss: :bliss:

I am of the opinion that Linus Pauling was right :thumbs: or atleast on the right track and there are just a bunches of thangs left that need fine tuning :yes:
The big one is when to use oral High Dose C vs IV C and when where why to mix 'n match. The stoopidest thang is that the RDA was set arbitrarily between the amounts needed to avoid scurvy {~2mg to10mg/day} and the amount after which your body would choose to no longer retain :egg: cess {~200mg/day}.
Anywho, anythin that puts stress on the body from mental/emotional stress to environmental stressors and disease ALL end up :bump: ing the bodies requirements for certain thangs vit.C and B12 are just two ... though for the most part it actually looks like ALL of the B vitamins need :bump: ing but B12 needs the BIGGEST :bump:
"And there is still nobody to does it around here. :nonono: You live in a different country, amember? :pie: "
Actually other countries have more places because fewer requirements :yes: Also not sure what you consider nearby but Franklin and Nashville ... Nashville prolly has a couple plus a bunch more to the east :dunno:
About 61Five Health & Wellness (https://61five.com/nashville-iv-therapy-pricing/) <= definitely still open :yes:
Anywho it looks like you need a license or prescription to order the fluid bags but you can get the lines 'n eberythang via Amazon :yes: so getting an electrolyte bag, saline or perchance :banana: bag cannot be that hard :dunno:
Regardless I thinxz oral administration should be the first thang :yes: I particularly recommend the gummy C from Costco :thumbs: but I also has the kilo block of pure C ... it's useful ffuts :yes: done right you can make some amazingly brilliant green pesto :angel:
Oh and back in the 90's there were clinics that did it but mostly you'd need to goes to either chiropractors or acupuncturists both would also has needed a medical degree. But yeah back then even dentists could has done it :yes: I also noes some military surplus stores sold IV bags :angel:
Oh and since so many of youses have gone over to the daaaark siiide :basementcat: :mushrooms: ... and no longer appreciate :cow: :drama:
You should has a look at essential amino acids ... 9 of them :yes: ... histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine ... and I thinxz it was lysine that most plant based people ar short on :scratch: But another one to consider is Taurine :yes: not an essential :nono: BUT a doog idea to :bump: on occasion along with Creatine :angel:
FYI: amino acids are involved in protein production of course BUT they also has other functions and when the body has limited availability some functions are turned OFF :bye:
For :egg: ample Threonine is a main player in muskle and connective tissue and helps keep thangs strong and is found in significant amounts in the :heart:
Iffen you eat meat regularly yer basically covered :yesss: :bliss:
Anywho, I make dad take all the essential amino acids, as well as Taurine PLUS Creatine to help prevent sarcopenia {muskle loss} :yes: I'll add the ffuts to the nutrition thread eventually :drama: but right now I has to go play in VR :bliss:

So your dad only eats the occasional :carp: ? Fish, not crap. :rofl:
THe first 'alternative' medicine type book I ever boughted was "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by James & Phyllis Balch.
It was the bible, of sorts, in the rare health food stores.
Anyway, they promoted intravenous vitamin C for nearly everything. I thought it a beautiful panacea.
But back then it was not covered by insurance & only offered at some high dollar spa-type settings.
And no...Nashville ain't 'local' but it's the closest we gots. Just over 100 miles. But ya do it when ya have to.
B is more intuitive than he believes (just like you :p ) and his fruit-lust has been providing him mega vitamin C.
For reals, I bet he eats 6-8 regular servings of fruit a day. Most of it fresh. Usually frozen berries.
Seems I am always cutting a watermelon or cantalope or pineapple. About every other day.
So yes...amino acids, the building blocks. :wiggle: I axshully has lysine cuz it's doog for fever blisters which I usta get & Jacki sometimes still does. I also use a lot of Braggs liquid aminos. And tamari.
And speaking of cooking... I've just about perfected smashed :tater: s. :cheer: A goodly sized dollop of faux mayo (silken tofu, acv, lemon, maple syrup) and just a smattering of nutritional yeast, salt, white pepper & oat milk.
And :fries" !!! I salt them like cucumbers rather than soaking in ice water. Salt them down, let sit til you''re ready for them. THen I pretty much wring them out & use a clean tea towel to dry.
THEN... 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil. That's all I needs for 4 large :tater: And I put my hands in the bowl & coat them well.
Then place on parchment paper & oven bake at 425 til crispy. (20-30 minutes depending on how big or small)
Seriously I cannot tell a difference between air-fried & oven baked & I can get 2 large baking sheets in my oven at once. :cheer:
The same amount is 3 batches in the air fryer & takes a good hour.
Off to Paducah... :elfparty:
Mom needs to has wedding clothes like SOON. :frantic: The wedding (niece in OH) is October 1.

Yeah it's not :nono: it's not for eberyone and certainly not for eberythang BUT it most certainly has it's place :yes: For most people a single dose Myer's Cocktail will be far more beneficial :yes:
That said areas where IV-C is nigh miraculous is rheumatoid arthritis and duh Duh DUN psoriasis :yes: BUT and that's a BIG :butt: ... ya amemberz when I said to test B with yer vit.C serum ...unfortunately it wont werk on him :therethere: There are many kinds of psoriasis and apparently B's doesn't really respond to ascorbic acid :console:
PLUS this isn't a one and done treatment for the serious ffuts :nono: Like for RA it's twice a week for 4 weeks. Also with RA while some patients do appear to be "cured" it's still considered a treatment and how long it lasts hasn't been well determined :nono: The best evidence of benefit is by testing the blood for an inflammation marker called C-Reactive Protein and the IVC reduces that on average by 44% :thumbs:
That said and the point I thunked I'd be more able to sell Pan on is peoplez with RA have blood level of vit.C less than half of nermalz :yes: SO ... :whatever: ...

"So yes...amino acids, the building blocks. :wiggle: I axshully has lysine cuz it's doog for fever blisters which I usta get & Jacki sometimes still does. I also use a lot of Braggs liquid aminos. And tamari. "

The biggest problem especially when people git older is they absorb less of the nutrients AND iffen they eat less too :boom: the body starts running out of key components.
Braggs is made from soybeans in a manner very similar to Tamari "liquid aminos" is just a clever marketing term to separate it from Tamari and soysauce.
Anywho I strongly recommend figuring out what amino acids / nutrients yer diet, cooking methods actually provide, then what the minimum RDA level is and then you can factor in anything speeshul like age or preferences. Then keep in mind RDA is the "minimum" necessary NOT the optimum :nono:

It's a tough one for her to dress for cuz it's quite casual. It's easier to find formal wear.
And :woe: the ice water soaking of :tater: was for cut up :fries: and part of the air frying protocol.
I'm purty sure you even did it when you first were playing air fryer chef. :chuckle:
But I'm saying I doesn't any more. Though I think I only eber did it twiced. :p
And... I surely don't know if anyone has ever done a study on it but I believe that nutrients from doof sources are far superior in bioavailability & every other way than supplements. :yes: So therefore less actual grams or milligrams would have the same or better effect than equal amounts of supplements. :check:
Or not.

"And :woe: the ice water soaking of :tater: was for cut up :fries: and part of the air frying protocol.
I'm purty sure you even did it when you first were playing air fryer chef. :chuckle: "
:scratch: Nope I have zero clue why "ice water" would be used other than perchance storing but even then I'd just sprinkle on some vitamin C :dunno: COLD water to wash off the starch :yes: but :tater: starch doesn't eben begin to gelatinize until 60°C which is around 140°F :dunno:
Solly sounds like a waste of ice and effort :nono: FYI siguie ice is speeshul ... it's made from siguie brand solar distilled and or remineralized water and comes in specific sizes/masses and shapes ... I cannot imagine wasting any on air :fries: :roll:

Or not."
:woe: There are soooooooo many studies on this topic it's hard to believe even you could miss that many :therethere: verily "Or not."
The biggest problem with "nutrition" is eberyone is different and nutrient absorptioin depends on too many variables to simply say this one way is "best". The vast amount of nutrients needed is best acquired from doof :yes: and that's just because it's easy, readily available and people really don't need that many nutrients to survive :nono: they mostly need NRGeez :electrocute:
No doubt you consider vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts to be doog doof ffuts but were you awarez that they are also the HIGHEST concentration of duh dun DUN "Anti-Nutrients" :no: :frantic: :end: fer realz :yes: phytates, tannins, lectins, oxalates they is just some of the reasons why plant nutrients have low bioavailability compared to animules :muaha:
Also ya noes whatz them organic higher in nutrient plant ffuts are also higher in ... antinutrients :chuckle: :hysterical:
Coinkadinkilly iffen you eat a :balance: d diet of eberythang including :cow: the antinutrients basically cancel out ... who woulda guessed :faint: ... it's almost like hoomanz evolved as omnivorez :scratch:
Anywho next time you make oatmeal ... try soaking the oats for 10-15 minutes, pouring off the water and THEN cook them with fresh water. Not only will they taste different {slightly} you will has removed a significant amount of pHytic acid and thus be able to absorb more nutrients. :angel:
Afores you ask no soaking overnight doesn't really help unless you remove the wash water OR kemikilly destroy the pHytic acid though fermentation werks doog :thumbs:
:yawn: :coffee:
Dad has a new favourite siguie brand doof for storaging :yes: He likes my ultra simple multi- :bean: soup and yes the finishing touch is kale :oz:
Anywho, it's hard coming up with new doof that goes with siguie brand kale :uhoh: So I made a big batch of siguie brand :bean: soup ... toned the spices down and after I made his requisite weekly kale, I left some in the pot and poured in the soup to warmz.
I should prolly sez multi- :bean: PLUS chickpeas ... chickpeas unlike :bean: s are a complete protein :yes: so they has methionine and tryptophan :thumbs: Anywho he also has brown rice and that mixes in well with this soup :angel:
When I makes it for myself I throw in HOT Indian curry ... not siguie brand curry powder :nono: ... just the cheap store bought ffuts :yes: It goes well with spicy sausage and rice :liplick:
But for dad's British no spice/flavour preferences I left these out :drama:
Incidentally the :bean: soup base is doog with :tater: and sweet :tater: too :yes:
Anywho the key to a doog multi :bean: soup is tweaking the pH at the right timez so the onions and garlic have enough time to fall apart, and the lentils as well which makes the dish creamy. Then add :tomatoe: last minute which makes the soup slightly acidic and will stop the :bean: s from softening anymore. Oh and :carrot: 3 minutes from the finsh and cellery 1 minute aforez the :end: I likes carrots and celery to has atleast a little snap :angel:

:b: has covid. :frantic:
He came home yesterday saying he felt like he was coming down with somethin tho he wasn't too bad.
And as the afternoon progressed he began feeling worserer.
Last night the home test was obliviously positive. :faint:
He just has a headache & mild congestion right now. Last night he was chilled.
J & I are gonna test this morning. :uhoh:

Paxlovid is contraindicated with rosuvastatin AND ranolozine. Plus you gotta have a recent GFR. :huh:
B did not see record of bloodwork but did find renal ultrasound which showed "up to 60% blockage of renal artery". :huh:
That was newses to us.
So we are going to see a provider. :wiggle:
He's not that sick & iffin he did not have comorbidities we would not see anyone.

So yer back :roll: and doog for her {the doctor} yeah, it's basically what should be happening ... multiple variants ... eberyone getting sick all willy & nilly likes :frantic: BUT not for long or that bad :nono:
Amemberz the last batches of variants are all super contagious :superman: so without a N95 or better yer still gonna catch it though mask wearing still reduces the initial load.

:secret: :check: BUN in his blood werkz :suck:
On the plus side renal artery clogginess doesn't mean renal function problems :nono: BUT :secret: take his codine and pain killin ffuts away :whistle:
Ooooh oooh after he's been relaxed for atleast 30 minutes and is peaceful and :bliss: fully unawarez ... sneak up and git a BP, :heart: rate, SpO2 AND a Nitric Oxide level :yes: and try not to disturb him too muches 'cuz that'll mess up the data :share:

FYI: :tomatoe: s contain Solanine it's one of them nightshade fambily alkaloids and amongst the various and sundry questionably bad thangs is the potential to increase calcification of soft tissue :whistle: Just letting ya noes since ya did that :woo: diet with the no nightshade doof :angel:
In other newses ... long agoes I gotted a SoyaJoy G5 8) and have come to the conclusion soy milk is :unthumbs: or meh at best.
Another conclusion is that Oat Milk is closer to :cow: ... I just use rolled oats 1 Cup to 3 or 4 Cups water depending on how creamy I want it AND the Magic Bullet to blend ... the SoyaJoy is too pulverizy AND the :secret: 1 of them cups water is actually siguie brand ice :angel:
I thunked I'd mention it 'cuz it's about the only time I use ice in doof prep and it's to reduce starch leakage. Oh and it does help to soak the oats for ~15minutes. Just weigh out the soak liquid afores and after so ya noes how muches is absorbed, then pinch salt, teeniest bit of cayenne, a big pinch of sugar, blend and filter and it's not bad ... a few drops of vanilla actually makes it taste more milky too :yes:
Oh and the BESTEST thang to make with the SoyaJoy G5 is siguie brand cashew milk with pistachio :liplick: This ffuts is doog cold or hot :bliss:

Akshully I thinxz the last :sunhug: is just about now supposed to be hitting us :tinhat:
"Oat milk is definitely the best plant milk. :righton: "
Perhaps :yes: but it's annoying that it's so easy to make it slimy :yucky: Also dropping a few cashews in really fills it out ... not enough that you can taste the :nuts: but just enough {like 4 or 5 per quart/batch} to subtley adjust the texture :thumbs:
"And you saying we can't eat :tomato: again? :no: "
Yes that's :egg: actly what I'm sezing ... stay away from them nightshade plants :buttkick:
:flyball:
Let's just say with :tomato: harvest season getting into full gear perhaps you should not indulge to the same level of intemperance as Dad 'n Me :moon: Srsly gorging on :tomatoe: s is a psience ... leabes it to the professionals :therethere: :bliss:
Fer realz though iffen yer eating :tater: already LOTSA :tomatoe: s all at once might push B over the edge :no: Just skip a day for the nightshades to wash out :wiggle: Solanine is basically gone in 12 hours ... so iffen you/he "might" be sensitive 24h between hits :tomato: seems reasonable :angel: BUT yer choice ... you beleebed that :woo: pogo diet afores :dunno:
Anywho solanine formost isn't a thang BUT some peoplez are more sensitive to the ffuts AND the amount in a :tomato: or :tater: can vary a HUGE amount espeeshully iffen a plant is being attacked or stressed in some way then :boom:
Oh and solanine can has a number of effects ... the eczema ffuts being psoriasis related BUT there is also arrhythmias and of course the increase in soft tissue calcificationing :whistle: so yer call :oz:
"I noes...you dint say that. :buttkick: Unlike youse... I CAN read. :wiggle: "
Hmmm I really wish I nude what that sed :hmm2:
"... And he's very mildly sick. ..."
Yup that's the norm :thumbs: Tech :nickel: ly he's supposed to wear a mask when he goes back to werk for an additonal 5 daze :yes: but most people don't even :check: to see iffen it's covid no morez :nono:
:horn: Git the DATA :pullhair:
Srsly iffen he's already getting better you likely missed the peak :wall:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
80°F and hovering around there for atleast the next week :no:

Data schmata :ashamed: :chuckle:
So ya noes... I neber believed the nightshade ffuts either & I saided so many times. :buttkick:
We/he was just desperate for anything that might ease the psoriasis so we decided it was worth a good 'try'.
It did seem to help at first. :dunno:
But it's too late.. :tomato: have been in here for quite some time & we have been thoroughly indulging to make up for last year of tomatolosness. :wiggle: Plus, we eats plenty of red sauces cuz well...that's about the only (good) sauciness permitted on the Esselstyn diet.
We've axshully commented that we don't noes how we'd eat iffin it weren't for :tomatoe: and peepers & :tater:
J & I both had teensy sore throats but we are fine. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
We tested negative yesterday & dunno if we will waste another test or not. :chuckle:
It's outdoors day... :bliss:
And yeah....covid is 'just another virus' now. :cheer:

Now yer just bragging :buttkick: we don't has :rain: or cold :tissue:
It's freaken 80's all week :gaah: and dad's AC is only in his room ... and it's Kale Day :no:
"Data schmata :ashamed: :chuckle: "
:woe: Um he's a CAD patient with a cold ... that just came off the soso ... that Data could have been really useful. Not only is it a mild prolonged stress test iffen he had any congestion you'd have an unerstanzing of the relation between SpO2 levelz, :heart: rate and quite possibly blood pressure AND the NO levelz would have let you known iffen this was with high, low or no endothelial support :roll:
Also covid pneumonia often comes "after" a few days of apparent improvement PLUS he is apparently prone to bronchitis so ... yeah it really would have been doog info :sigh:
Getting data when someone is obliviously in distress is only useful iffen ya need to decide on an ambulance or not :dunno: Iffen you want to noes how someone is improving {or not} or where to focus additional treatment you need much more information.
"So ya noes... I neber believed the nightshade ffuts either & I saided so many times. :buttkick:
We/he was just desperate for anything that might ease the psoriasis so we decided it was worth a good 'try'.
It did seem to help at first. :dunno:"
Um what? The nightshade ffuts is real :yes: AND solanine can indeed induce a psoriatic event :yes: that's not the :woo: part :nono: Solanine IS a plant poison :yes: it can hang out in the body for about 12h AND some people are very sensitive to it :yes: It's why iffen ya goes through a list of known psoriasis triggers ALL of the nightshade doof is in the list :yes:
The thang is it's like gluten sensitivity or lactose intolerance or diabetes ... some people are clearly in the yes category ... a few are "maybe" ... but most are in the nuh uh :nono: category. Iffen yer in the maybe then sure give it a shot it might help AND according to you B had greatly improved ... so I figured he's a "maybe" in which case ... solanine perchance be awarez :angel:
Srsly though it's like gluten iffen you has celiac's two weeks without gluten tops and you'll feel doog and noes :yes: with nightshades you'd think a month tops and you'd has a clue ... the does it for years or whatever to be effective THAT's :woo:
"We've axshully commented that we don't noes how we'd eat iffin it weren't for :tomatoe: and peepers & :tater: "
:mushrooms: srsly :yes: THAT's what you will be muches happier eating :yes: B too :yes:
"We tested negative yesterday & dunno if we will waste another test or not. :chuckle: "
Dad and I neber even requested the testing ffuts :nono: there's mostly no point ... it's doog that hopsickels does it BUT for the most part it's just a way for people to git a free week off werk.
It is of course possible for the variants to SUDDENLY become more virulent BUT it's unlikely instead they are getting better and better at avoiding antibiodies which is as :egg: pected :yes: I think it is BA.2.12.1 which is nigh immune to the vaccine antibodies. As in triply vaccinated and boosted people git it as easily as anyone else BUT this is as :egg: pected :om: The vaccine was created for the original flavour wuhan virus after all :yes: That said the vaccine still protects against severe covid which is amazing really but it's the T cells :thumbs:
The result is EBERYONE can git the covid easily now BUT those who were vaccinated avoid severe covid and generally have no or only minor symptoms which is what was :egg: pected :angel:
As for China ... yeah they is purty much screwed :yes: their vaccine barely werked, it looks like they lied to manage the 50% effectiveness 'cuz it looks more like 10% to 30% effective AND that's against the original strain PLUS with severe side effects nobody wants it :sofa: So with a :carp: vaccine ... they are relying on the milder Omicron to inoculate their population BUT with so many people the Omicron surge would still send plenty to the hopsickle and that would look bad :drama: and you cannot has that :sigh:
:kickcan:
Happy Friday :rstars: :woohoo:

I :dunno: about N.O. levels cuz the test strips are at Mom's.
But his BP has been around 104/68 & his heart rate (at rest) increased to about 64. :roll:
His O2 is in the low 90s when he is still tho. :sigh:
He did hafta sit up in bed for while last night & said he'd felt more 'chesty' than he had in awhile.
He couldn't describe other than not true angina but not quite right either.
Hope ya didn't melt whilst kale-ing. :chuckle:
It's healthy for you to sweat now & then. :heat:
And yes, we eats lots of :mushrooms: too. :yes: Lots.
And lots of onions. :yes: And celery.
Srsly, each week I buy at least 6 pounds of onions, 2 stalks of celery, a head of broccoli &/or cauliflower depending on how they look and much more...3/4 of my cart fills with produce & it all gets processed into meals by me. :faint:
Yesterday I maded a yummy :tate: soup/stew with miso.
I used 4 large onions, 1 pound baby carrot, half a bunch of celery, a large package :mushrooms: and about 4 or 5 pounds :tater: (Til my pot got full :chuckle: ).
We ate almost all of it. :faint: Enough left for lunch today is all.
I browned the onions & several cloves garlic with tamari...seasoned with a thyme, parsley, bit of rosemary, black & white & red peeper (in wee amounts) & miso paste.
And... I finally think I gotted cornbread/muffins down! :cheer: I used faux mayo (the silken tofu ffuts) and applesauce...'soured' the plant milk with vinegar & tossed in a teaspoon or so of baking soda for good measure. :chuckle: (It is self-rising corn meal...but previously had been flat & spongy sans :egg: )
It was perfect for non-greasy cornbread. :rofl:
I has a question for :sig:
What IS liquid smoke made from? :huh: Does they capture smoke in a bottle or somethin? :huh:
The ingredients says, "mesquite smoke flavor". K. Fine.
But what is mesquite smoke flavor? You go to a mesquite tree & pick it? :hysterical:
Just curious...

It's ok you kinda missed the intro and peak :therethere:
Higher :heart: rate is :egg: pected due to the body stress of being sick, he prolly also has a minor fever, the low O2 is what we wanted to unerstanz 'cuz with the soso gone an NO level would let you noes iffen the low O2 is from poor lung capacity, insuficient :heart: pumping or whether the pipes are dilating or constricting.
Different "issues" have different signals or warning signs. For instance iffen you noes his O2 level and at rest respiration rate, iffen it was constant and then the O2 drops THAT's when you listen for crackle sounds 'cuz it might be a developing pneumonia. Iffen :heart: rate :bump: s AND bp increases even if SpO2 is steady it could mean his endothelials are not producing enough NO. You could keep the nitroglycerin ready OR just serve more greens :yucky: or iffen he was able take some spirulina ... though chewing greens would does more fasterer.
Data is the difference between a diagnosis and a best guess :angel: Iffen you had enough data you'd be able to say his low blood pressure was due to dehydration and not the :heart: med or perchance even notice an electrolyte :electrocute: imbalance before it became serious.
Anywho think about all of the thangs that git :check: ed when you take someone to the emergency room. The first thang is to look for anomolous readings like high temp or bp but NEXT is compared to previous known data ... this is what shows the situations trend :horror:
In any event he should basically be more or less healthy by tomorrow ... though covid lethargy and :brain: fog can continue for a week or two ... which is also nermalz :yes:
"Hope ya didn't melt whilst kale-ing. :chuckle:
It's healthy for you to sweat now & then. :heat: "
Kalefication was successful :yesss: ... I thinxz it must be kale season or sumthin 'cuz the kale he gotted was prolly the bestest I had eber seen :faint: Srsly big broad leaves but not too tough, you can see they growded well and fast, just a touch of bitter tang ... really nice :thumbs: AND Apparently 1 the kale is sold by the bunches and are placed in water to keep them fresh, so dad brings them home and puts them in water too :angel:
BUT yeah it was HOT and unusually humid ... like 50% RH :gaah:
Um you does noes I literally has two steam sauna systems, I turned the downstairs shower into a 3rd for a long whilez AND I've kinda got the LED Light dry sauna system down ... right?
I am not a fan of saunas :unthumbs: steam saunas are :unthumbs: :unthumbs: though I does admit it made my skin radiant :wwsd:
I'm actually thinking hooking my AC to the LED Lightbox and making a Light Cryotherapy system :yes: tech :nickel: ly it's not cold enough for traditional cryotherapy but I has nuthin to be treated so no problem there BUT I could make a dynamic temperature changing system :thumbs: Basically it just improves circulation and skin condition :angel:
Anywho the kale sweat :suck: ed ... though Dad did ask for more siguie brand :bean: soup :thumbs: ... ya noes just run it through the deflavourizer for his particular palette :wiggle: It has enough essential amino acids that he's in the zone and wont need to worry about the vegetized muskles :nono: PLUS the kale really is doog in the soup AND with fresh :tomatoe: s it's purty freaken delicious :drool: Though it's hard to beat :egg: s and :tomato: when the maters are fresh :liplick:
"And yes, we eats lots of :mushrooms: too. :yes: Lots."
Yes but are they all the same type of :mushrooms: ... ya see a GiANT Portabella is a respectable stand in for :cow: and cremini is doog in general, shiitake is a standard for Japanese cooking though dried is easier to deal with but for clan durt Oyster :mushrooms: will fit yer um delicate sensibilities bestest :yes: for realz :yes: and there are atleast 6 types that I noes of.
I on the other hand tend towards Enokitake {aka enoki} and King Trumpets though some peoplez claim it's an oyster mushroom I suspect they are confusing it with the King Oyster but either way ... I don't like :mushrooms: but Apparently 1 I am very doog with them. In fact I have a pine smoked portabella appetizer thang that people rave about decades later 8)
Anywho, iffen when you sez you "eat lots of :mushrooms: " yer talking about :button: :mushrooms: then ...
:woe: :buttkick: no :wedgie:
"It was perfect for non-greasy cornbread. :rofl: "
Yer kinda reinventing the wheel with yer :egg: speriments :rimshot: ... git it :egg: speriments :hysterical: I so nuffy :chuckle:
Anywho back in yer early non- :banana: ice cream daze ...
Anywho Xanthan gum is a doog choice because it's a binder as well as a thickener and emulsifier ... ya noes like say :egg: :whistle:
There's always the stoopid flax seed trick :unthumbs: but xanthan, guar and gum arabic you can use them to does most of the tricky ffuts :yes: starches for the rest :oz:
"What IS liquid smoke made from? :huh: Does they capture smoke in a bottle or somethin? :huh: "
:egg: actly that :yes: In fact somewherez ober the :rainbow: or atleast lost in this place prolly the early or losteded forum years ... I made my own liquid smoke :yes: Cherry and Oak :angel:
The trick is avoiding ash and any tar or creosote I personally recommend Colgin's Apple Liquid smoke :thumbs: they also has a pecan which I believe is from the shells and is a little too maple syrupy for my taste. Also the only thang I could think to does with it is sumthin for ham :yes: But the apple smoke is doog with pork espeeshully mixed with a hickory or mesquite smoke :angel:
Now I really don't use liquid smokes :nono: 'cuz I has a Portable Smoking Gun (https://amzn.to/3c7FgFA) <= Amazon Link ... it's surprisgly doog and easy to use. Just find some unprocessed wood that you like, shave it down {whittle or plane} OR buy overpriced smoking chips/powder.
Thang is iffen you wanted to make yer own liquid smoke you can just use this thang to bubble it in bottle or very small amount of liquid :angel: though generally I just smoke whatever it is I want smoked directly :yes: Liked smoked pickled jalapenos or pepperoncini's. Just pull them out of the jar pad them dry and smoke 'em in a container. Smoked pepperoncini's are delicious in samwhiches or on siguie brand :pizza: :drool:
Oh and yes I has gone to mesquite trees and picked them for wood bits :yes: Oak is trickier and so far nuthin doog even after drying :yucky:
Higher :heart: rate is :egg: pected due to the body stress of being sick, he prolly also has a minor fever, the low O2 is what we wanted to unerstanz 'cuz with the soso gone an NO level would let you noes iffen the low O2 is from poor lung capacity, insuficient :heart: pumping or whether the pipes are dilating or constricting.

There's always the stoopid flax seed trick :unthumbs: but xanthan, guar and gum arabic you can use them to does most of the tricky ffuts :yes: starches for the rest :oz:
"What IS liquid smoke made from? :huh: Does they capture smoke in a bottle or somethin? :huh: "
:egg: actly that :yes: In fact somewherez ober the :rainbow: or atleast lost in this place prolly the early or losteded forum years ... I made my own liquid smoke :yes: Cherry and Oak :angel:
The trick is avoiding ash and any tar or creosote I personally recommend Colgin's Apple Liquid smoke :thumbs: they also has a pecan which I believe is from the shells and is a little too maple syrupy for my taste. Also the only thang I could think to does with it is sumthin for ham :yes: But the apple smoke is doog with pork espeeshully mixed with a hickory or mesquite smoke :angel:
Now I really don't use liquid smokes :nono: 'cuz I has a Portable Smoking Gun (https://amzn.to/3c7FgFA) <= Amazon Link ... it's surprisgly doog and easy to use. Just find some unprocessed wood that you like, shave it down {whittle or plane} OR buy overpriced smoking chips/powder.
Thang is iffen you wanted to make yer own liquid smoke you can just use this thang to bubble it in bottle or very small amount of liquid :angel: though generally I just smoke whatever it is I want smoked directly :yes: Liked smoked pickled jalapenos or pepperoncini's. Just pull them out of the jar pad them dry and smoke 'em in a container. Smoked pepperoncini's are delicious in samwhiches or on siguie brand :pizza: :drool:
Oh and yes I has gone to mesquite trees and picked them for wood bits :yes: Oak is trickier and so far nuthin doog even after drying :yucky:

No I is not reinventing any :egg: sperimental ffuts. :nonono:
There are numerous vegan cooks who use silken tofu in baked sdoog instead of flax.
It was prefect so I ain't changing it. :p Yet. :rofl:
So Jacki's pretty sick. :sigh: And I feel like I been run over by a truck but I'll be ok. :sigh: My nose just ran all day yesterday.
We took Jacki to a Fast Pace tho cuz her temp was 101 & she looked like :carp2b:
THey are the only places other than ERs that are open on weekends here & after waiting nearly forever I find out that they are not permitted to dispense any of the covid meds. :wall: She gave her prednisone...20mg for 3 days, 10 mg for2 days, 5 mg for 2.
But iffin she's still puny tomorrow I will take her somewhere that can axshully dispense antivirals.
The local pharmacist can give it but he needs a liver panel beforehand. :sigh: Bloodwork is a problem with Jacki. :sigh:
I boughted more C & zinc lozenges.
As for :mushrooms: .... we has white, baby bella (I think they cremini but they call them baby bella), & big portabella...occaisionally they has sh*take or a packaged 'gourmet blend' with oyster & sh*take but the fancy ones are always slimy & :uhoh: cuz they just don't sell.
We has these growing wild: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baorangia_bicolor
I ated one raw & it was delicious. :drool:
We wondered iffin we don't pick them all if it would encourage more next year?
They is purty.

J ack i :therethere: Low grade fevers are relatively simple to keep in :check: so more importantly keep an eye on SpO2 and :heart: rate. Iffen you notice any wheezing or dificulty breathing AND low O2 that's when you need the stethoscope :yes: Also with J :check: her borborygmus {aka digestive sounds} ... covid has a relation with pancreatitis.
Iffen you take regular data points of temperature, :heart: rate and SpO2 you can monitor the progress of a cold/flu. In other wurdz you can see whether a thang is worsening or getting better. Like when I gotted the covid vaccine together with the flu shot my :heart: rate went up by 3 beats per minute for just over 3 days afores dropping to normal in 8 dazes. This is a qualitative measure of bodily stress due to immuno activity :angel:
The point is iffen J ack i is getting better by tomorrow AND there is no crackle you might want to reconsider the covid meds :oz:
Two to 5 days from :egg: sposure to onset and another 2 to 5 to clear the bug is nermal and on your time scalez I think yer just about passing the mid point :console:
FYI: the remdesivir part has seriously bad side effects :uhoh: you Do NOT want it unless you are srsly sick :cs:
In other newses the coast is 66°F :yesss: I'll take it :bliss: ober the hill is 83°F :horror:
Weekend project list ...
Turned a Wyze cam v.3 into a wifi telescope :woohoo: I just added a 12x50 monocular telescope to the front ... the 12 is the magnification and the 50 is the big lens size which means it collects more light. The v3 has a starlight sensor which is is super sensitive :superman: so I wanted as much light as possible getting in so it'll werk at night :popcorn:
Replaced a :carp: :wheee: little lithium battery with a proper siguie sized battery so my colloidal silver atomizer werks longer :bliss:
Kinda getting back into boba teas :liplick: in particular Thai Iced Tea boba's ... :secret: "boba" is Taiwanese for Bubble as in bubble tea and NOT a star wars reference :nono:

Jack seems betterer already. I only gave her 1 10 mg prednisone today instead of the 2 prescribed. Less is more for her. :yes:
But she's been totally different from yesterday. :cheer:
And my snot is drying up tho we all still have driew off & on headaches. :wall:
They come on quite suddenly. Then pass just the same.
B is fine, just tired. :yes: No angina. No congestion of any sort.

J & I are perfect. :wig: :gle: Eeerbody's oxygen is in the high 90s.
I woke up this morning feeling 'clear'. Clear as in virus-free. :cheer:
B says he's still foggy but elsewise fine. No respiratory ffutses at all.
And J is still asleep but I :egg: spect her to feel doog.
Funny thing... and I think I said this last time we thunk we had covid :scratch: ... when I was feeling puny I was craving a cigarette. :no: Quite strange. It's been 10 years. :faint:
Anyway.... I has this image of you pretending your house is a submarine & then scampering over to check the telescope for incoming....um... :cloud: s. ? :hysterical:
Ya noes a bow-cam would prolly work, too...and then you could check it anytime & anywhere. :yes:
Just gotta find a way to 'tune' the camera like the old-time TV antennas that turned. :chuckle:
Does your house has a bow & stern? :pie:

Next is yer turn :muaha:
Srsly though there's sooo muches that Germarinianz are involved with you needz to post more :frantic:
Ya noes when you is less busy :therethere:
"Vittles. :check: I has been checking eerbody's vittles. :p "
Has you writ them down and or grapHed them :popcorn:
For realz you should has a journal/book/database with the actual numbers as well as medications and current state of wellness :yes:
"B's BP is bordering on too low so we is keeping an eye on that."
Like for this, is he still taking his bp medication? Is his :heart: rate elevated or atleast above his resting normal? Is his SpO2 higher than when he was on soso? Is his Nitric Oxide levelz low, nermal or HIGH?
During a cold or flu CAD incidences are significantly greater. Iffen his BP is low first give fluids because typically the body needs significantly more water during an infection. Next give him some electrolytes :electrocute: he may be low along with the more fluids salt is frequently needed too :yes: One reason why :chicken: soup is doog for colds/flu :yes:
Iffen these don't :bump: bp THEN :yesss: call the doctor and git him off the stoopid :heart: med :ura:
With his :egg: tremities kept warm he may just be in a comfy state :cloud9: Iffen there was some way to noes his NO level we'd noes his flow rate and he could be fed sumthin :naughty: that he'd like to :bump: his bp :yes:
Thang is iffen he were properly hydrated and electrolyzed his bp should oughta be higher than nermal. Assuming of course his :heart: rate is nermal OR higher as :egg: pected during or post cold.
SO ... :whatever: ... what could be causing this drop in BP :scratch: is it NO levelz being unusually high :dunno: is it his bp medication rising in concentration due to liver being busy dealing with flu ffuts :dunno: OR is his cloggy bits healing? Iffen we could rule out the medication AND had an idea of the NO level you would has a qualitative answer :share: Keep better data :buttkick:
Vegan shoes :woe: Unfortunately vegan leather is far less durable than :cow: leather: AND I'm not completely sure you can treat faux leather :scratch: Anywho congarats on another wacky purchase :beerme:
I actually still likes and occasionally wear my Birk's :yes: though mostly I wears boots or goes barefoot 'n very occasionally wool socks :sockpuppet:
Wait what? :scratch: Why would anyone want a "platform" Birk? :dunno: Why not just strap a :brick: to yer feetz :roll: Though it reminds me of a woman I sawed in a Japanese store ... I amemberz thinking wow that little kid wearz :egg: pensive clothes then I realized whoa that's a tiny wiminz and when I gotted even closer that's when I realized the tiny woman was wearing platform shoes and hiding them under those old flared style jeans :hysterical: I felt a little bad for her BUT dang that was small :chuckle:
But still why platform Birks? :scratch:

They're just 1" platforms oh stylelos one. Not stylus, pen geek. :nonono: :chuckle:
And they're awesome! :happydance:
I wore them around the house all day yesterday, breaking them in. :wubsigh:
So that's alotta hypotensive questioning... :crazyeyes:
He looked at his notes yesterday & noticed it's been low like this since 8/14. Pre covid. :check:
He's only on 5 mg lisinopril...and the doctore already tolded him to :buttkick: it iffin it got below 120 & stayed there 2 weeks or more. Well he's coming up on 2 weeks. :cheer:
I think it's the diet. :wiggle: My BP is quite doog (115/70ish) & the first thing the nurse said about Jacki was "Her blood pressure is really good". :chuckle: It was 122/69.
I believe the arteries are clearing already. :yes:
That said...last night I cooked him a bonelos chicken breast. :yes: He was looking 'malnourished'. I won't say skinny any more cuz that's his new normal...back to his 20s & 30s size. But there's a 'drained'/unwell/malnourished' look which is what I sawed before.
I also made aloo palak with frozen spinach cuz I thunk that would be beneficial for us all. Plus B has decided he axshully likes Indian food so that gives me a new playground. :cheer:
Oh & the chicken I make him (his favorite) is simply a frozen thin slice (Kroger organic bonelos frozen in a 2lb bag) doused with tamari & Frank's Redhot. Umami maximus for him. :happydance:
I still believe he needs a modicum of meatiness to thrive. It's just walking the line that's a bit tough. :wiggle:
I was ready a month ago to switch him to Pritikin (4 oz chicken 1x a week, 4oz salmon or other clean fishes 3x a week) but he said, "No....I can do it.". :huh: I says, "YOU may think you can but your body may have other ideas.". :crazyeyes: :schizobodymind:
Elsewise.... Solar flares! :frantic: I was feeling sunburnt without being out in the :sun: :tinhat:

What a day, tahw a yad! :faint:
Super short version of :run: :frantic: :run: from 10AM-2PM is that Mom, Jacki & ZA all have paxlovid.
Mom also gotted a steroid shot & a codeine cough syrup. J also gotted a (negative) chest x-ray.
I, thankfully, am fine & was able to chauffeur J & J all day. :splat:
Zen Aunt's meds were delivered. :drama: (We has no delivery here...she's just tight with the pharmacist :chuckle: )
Hopefully all 3 are now officially on the mend.
:gheart:
B & I are fine,
Oh & the PA we saw last agreed with me that covid attacks weak areas. When she had it a 15 years past broken wrist became so inflamed that she couldn't use her hand for an entire day. And SUDDENLY, it was fine once again.

"I think it's the diet. :wiggle: ..."
"I believe the arteries are clearing already. :yes: "
Um :hello: of course it's the diet :roll: Apparently 1 being able to read isn't that helpful :whistle:
:buttkick: 10 Daze ... strict compliance 'can' show measurable and feelzible results in as little as 10 :daisy: s :yes: Some people say they feel better in only 3 :daisy: BUT measurable ... possibly :dunno: ... 10 :daisy: :angel:
And yes very likely clearing :yes: which is kinda why I WANT DATA :gaah:
Here's the thang ... :heart: rate can increase without your bp changing AND yer :heart: rate can decrease agin without any noticeable change to blood pressure BUT there are limits and the limiting factor is du Duh DUN the cardiovascular system :no: ... I mean :yes: and it's a combination of thangs vascular "elasticity", no cloggy points AND 'cuz there was that renal artery comment ... Kidney Function.
Basically the heart is just a muskle :flex: that pumps the same ... mostly ... amount {volume} of blood each time it beats (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif) The Blood Pressure is just the pushback of all the combined effects including friction in the pumping fluid against the walls of the pipes, constricted areas {cloggy bits including renal artery} and of course the pressure needed to filter the blood in the kidneys {nephrons}.
The problem is there is no way to say X is due to the diet while Y is from the medication BUT here's the kicker when he became sick, you know his :heart: rate increased. This means the increase in pressure was offset in someway ... this would be the endothelial NO thang PLUS arterial elasticity. More importantly his SpO2 was some unmentioned number :hmm: but higher than 95.
Iffen you recall B's oxygen levelz were always a bit low ... this was due to the use of nitroglycerine and soso ... they both produce higher percentages of methemoglobin ... which counts as blood but doesn't :deliverance: any oxygen, hence the low reading. Anywho presumably the methemoglobin has since been replaced by new werken non-dole collecting hemoglobin :flex: and even under duress {covid stress} he's been ok :thumbs:
Now iffen there had been some nitric oxide data :gaah: you might has had an idea about not only clogginess reduction BUT more importantly you coulda had some information on improvement in natural vascular elasticity :angel:
Ya see nitric oxide dilates blood vessels 'n what not but how muches depends on the pipes inherent elastic properties. Smoking vastly reduces this ... think of it like steel pipes vs rubber :balloon: like pipe material ... one can :egg: pand far more ... the other just builds up pressure akin to a bp :bump:
ALL together ... it's not just about decloging :nono: it's also about pipe maintenance and refitting or in :rbrain: parlance it's a combination of fixing AND upgrading :angel:
Of course with yer :carp: data you will neber noes until a doctor finally gits another angiogram BUT wurst of all I has to wait too :gaah: Unacceptable :buttkick:
:flyball:
"That said...last night I cooked him a bonelos chicken breast. :yes: He was looking 'malnourished'. I won't say skinny any more cuz that's his new normal...back to his 20s & 30s size. But there's a 'drained'/unwell/malnourished' look which is what I sawed before."
Yeah about that I went over a bit of that in the nutrition thread but basically there are some thangs that plant only diets are going to has less of. Whether these thangs are a deficiency, insufficiency or just sumthin you/his body can do without depends on the body in question BUT it's not hard to :bump: essential amino acids {espeeshully branched ones :yes: }, Creatine :flex: and Taurine :angel:
Oh and I also recommend Niacin {aka vit.B3} along with B12 and vit.C in LARGE quantities but I've mentioned that afores.
In any event just google ffuts that plant people are deficient in AND google what the most common deficiencies are. Then be sure and :check: whichever boxes seem most pertinent to youses :angel:
I personally weigh out little vials of ffuts for my dad and tellz him to dump them in with his calcium and magnesium shake. I noes the flavours go {are hidden} with the other ffuts AND that way I'm sure he gits eberythang in optimal amounts vs minimum daily amounts :angel:
Mmmm indian doof is doog :liplick: you should also try and incorporate some of the traditional doof types like the weird grains 'n ffuts :yes: Like I've mentioned afores life long vegetarians from India tend to run out of "sumthin" two or 3 years after moobing to the US. Typically it's some combination of iron and B vitamins. Clearly there is some variation in starting materials for their culinary process :dunno:
Ok glad the durt maidens got their paxlovid BUT I kinda doubt they really needed it ... and I'd be more worried about the renal side effects than the covid potential :dunno:
"Oh & the PA we saw last agreed with me that covid attacks weak areas. ..."
:woe: yeah that or she eats a traditional americant diet and the "weak" area was in a constant state of inflammation that was aggravated when covid :bump: ed her immune system :roll: AND didja ask her iffen she was vaccinated? 'cuz pains in pre :egg: sisting injured areas is more of a thang for unvaccinated :yes: Though it's also a thang for most cold AND flus :oz:
Anywho with covid it was the TLR-4 protein AND infrared light therapy to the rescue 8) ... as I recall :scratch:

:buttkick: 10 Daze ... strict compliance 'can' show measurable and feelzible results in as little as 10 :daisy: s :yes: Some people say they feel better in only 3 :daisy: BUT measurable ... possibly :dunno: ... 10 :daisy: :angel:
And yes very likely clearing :yes: which is kinda why I WANT DATA :gaah:
Here's the thang ... :heart: rate can increase without your bp changing AND yer :heart: rate can decrease agin without any noticeable change to blood pressure BUT there are limits and the limiting factor is du Duh DUN the cardiovascular system :no: ... I mean :yes: and it's a combination of thangs vascular "elasticity", no cloggy points AND 'cuz there was that renal artery comment ... Kidney Function.
Basically the heart is just a muskle :flex: that pumps the same ... mostly ... amount {volume} of blood each time it beats (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif) The Blood Pressure is just the pushback of all the combined effects including friction in the pumping fluid against the walls of the pipes, constricted areas {cloggy bits including renal artery} and of course the pressure needed to filter the blood in the kidneys {nephrons}.
The problem is there is no way to say X is due to the diet while Y is from the medication BUT here's the kicker when he became sick, you know his :heart: rate increased. This means the increase in pressure was offset in someway ... this would be the endothelial NO thang PLUS arterial elasticity. More importantly his SpO2 was some unmentioned number :hmm: but higher than 95.
Iffen you recall B's oxygen levelz were always a bit low ... this was due to the use of nitroglycerine and soso ... they both produce higher percentages of methemoglobin ... which counts as blood but doesn't :deliverance: any oxygen, hence the low reading. Anywho presumably the methemoglobin has since been replaced by new werken non-dole collecting hemoglobin :flex: and even under duress {covid stress} he's been ok :thumbs:
Now iffen there had been some nitric oxide data :gaah: you might has had an idea about not only clogginess reduction BUT more importantly you coulda had some information on improvement in natural vascular elasticity :angel:
Ya see nitric oxide dilates blood vessels 'n what not but how muches depends on the pipes inherent elastic properties. Smoking vastly reduces this ... think of it like steel pipes vs rubber :balloon: like pipe material ... one can :egg: pand far more ... the other just builds up pressure akin to a bp :bump:
ALL together ... it's not just about decloging :nono: it's also about pipe maintenance and refitting or in :rbrain: parlance it's a combination of fixing AND upgrading :angel:
Of course with yer :carp: data you will neber noes until a doctor finally gits another angiogram BUT wurst of all I has to wait too :gaah: Unacceptable :buttkick:
:flyball:
"That said...last night I cooked him a bonelos chicken breast. :yes: He was looking 'malnourished'. I won't say skinny any more cuz that's his new normal...back to his 20s & 30s size. But there's a 'drained'/unwell/malnourished' look which is what I sawed before."
Yeah about that I went over a bit of that in the nutrition thread but basically there are some thangs that plant only diets are going to has less of. Whether these thangs are a deficiency, insufficiency or just sumthin you/his body can do without depends on the body in question BUT it's not hard to :bump: essential amino acids {espeeshully branched ones :yes: }, Creatine :flex: and Taurine :angel:
Oh and I also recommend Niacin {aka vit.B3} along with B12 and vit.C in LARGE quantities but I've mentioned that afores.
In any event just google ffuts that plant people are deficient in AND google what the most common deficiencies are. Then be sure and :check: whichever boxes seem most pertinent to youses :angel:
I personally weigh out little vials of ffuts for my dad and tellz him to dump them in with his calcium and magnesium shake. I noes the flavours go {are hidden} with the other ffuts AND that way I'm sure he gits eberythang in optimal amounts vs minimum daily amounts :angel:
Mmmm indian doof is doog :liplick: you should also try and incorporate some of the traditional doof types like the weird grains 'n ffuts :yes: Like I've mentioned afores life long vegetarians from India tend to run out of "sumthin" two or 3 years after moobing to the US. Typically it's some combination of iron and B vitamins. Clearly there is some variation in starting materials for their culinary process :dunno:
Ok glad the durt maidens got their paxlovid BUT I kinda doubt they really needed it ... and I'd be more worried about the renal side effects than the covid potential :dunno:
"Oh & the PA we saw last agreed with me that covid attacks weak areas. ..."
:woe: yeah that or she eats a traditional americant diet and the "weak" area was in a constant state of inflammation that was aggravated when covid :bump: ed her immune system :roll: AND didja ask her iffen she was vaccinated? 'cuz pains in pre :egg: sisting injured areas is more of a thang for unvaccinated :yes: Though it's also a thang for most cold AND flus :oz:
Anywho with covid it was the TLR-4 protein AND infrared light therapy to the rescue 8) ... as I recall :scratch:

Infrared light therapy relieves TLR-4 dependent hyper-inflammation of the type induced by COVID-19 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8451450/)
"The leading cause of mortality from COVID-19 infection is respiratory distress due to an exaggerated host immune response, resulting in hyper-inflammation and ensuing cytokine storms in the lungs."
Anywho yes "hyper-inflammation" :yes: and yes IR light reduces it :oz:

Light! :happydance: :check:
And yes it IS hyper-inflamation of ANYTHING that has ever been inflamed & may not be fully healed. :yes:
The PA who hadded the old wrist pain recur is fully vaccinated AND she is an Ironman Champion (being #1 in the world for her age group several years over) who now focuses on being a guide for a blind triathelete. They competed in the Paralympics in Japan. :yes:
She is very very picky about her diet. :yes: She's a up at 3AM train for 3 hours before going to work kinda person.
She recommends Whole 30 for her patients (Mom... ZA...they ain't gonna does it. :sigh: ).
Anyway, her husband is a friend of mine & he's a trained chef. He's also Italian & favors ffuts that she won't eat. :chuckle:
She would be our primary provider except she only works Tuesdays & Wednesdays now cuz training/biking/swimming is her first love. She's wanting to retire from medicine. :laugh:
But no... Kirsten ain't gonna touch SAD doof & will just politely say, "No, thank you" & eat her homemade protein bites instead. :rofl:
I'm telling ya... I felt it with the vaccine. I felt it again with the axshual virus. It immediately hones into weak areas & my optimistic hope is that it is clearing/healing those areas. :yes:
Zen Aunt has a bone spur in her ankle that has been treated with light therapy & made well. OR so she thought. Since hasing the virus she said it flared up so bad that she could not put weight on that foot for a day. She literally hopped around the house, holding onto things to take weight off. Her shingles eye has also inflamed & become extremely painful. Just mild Upper respiratory issues but the re-inflammation of various old wounds was what caused her to reach out for the antiviral.
Plus the pharmacist & his RN 'assistant' are both friends of ZA's & they both had Omicron & both took the Paxlovid & felt better almost immediately.
Oh the aforementioned PA is the one who will gladly order any kind of bloodwork we want, like say a nutritional profile...as long as we tell her exactly what to order. :yes:

Did you even read that?
Firstly, it was published nearly a year ago so testing was done on different flavor covid.
But mostly, the light (10 minutes every 12 hours at 20cm away) was used on cell cultures in a 96 well culture plate.
Reminds me of when Trump suggested that bleach would kill covid & lamebrains drank it & tried to inject it. :no:
The study he referred to used bleach to kill covid in petri dishes. :woe:
But yes, light is a viable assistance. To what degree, prolly nobody knows. :nonono:
One thing about light is that is doesn't harm. :check:

"Did you even read that? "
:hysterical: :bsl: you so ynnuf :chuckle:
:woe: the real question is did you :roll:
The TLR4 receptor is sumthin that can activate atleast 3 other pathways that I noes of {possibly more} all related to inflammation. A portion of the covid spike happens to fit rather well and can lead to a "Cytokine Storm" event also known as CRS {Cytokine Release Syndrome} ... when this happens in the lungs it's purty much game over. FYI: A cytokine storm is when the body too aggressively fights against sumthin ... like with ebola :yes:
I'm not sure why yer hung up on this year or that year covid :scratch: sure last years model did more but it's not like this years model removed the spike :dunno:
Anywho you was commenting about covid attacking injuries ... I happened to noes why 'cuz light 'n ffuts so I mentioned it. I don't mean to belittle yer :wheee: little overly optimistic "I think I can" :rbrain: ... BUT I normally wouldn't has mentioned it 'cuz it's tech :nickel: beyond my ability to dumb down :therethere:
That said it's not really covid "attacking" old injuries :nono: it's the fact that covid spikes have a key that fits the TLR4 receptor lock. And Toll-Like-Receptors {TLRs} are involved in numerous immune pathways as well as initiating and controlling a number of inflammatory systems. Red and infrared lights just happen interact with these systems BUT it's complicated :console:
"But mostly, the light (10 minutes every 12 hours at 20cm away) was used on cell cultures in a 96 well culture plate."
Why is this a problem? :scratch: they are demonstrating in vitro effectiveness AND 50% is astonishingly doog :angel:
"But yes, light is a viable assistance. To what degree, prolly nobody knows. :nonono: "
:woe: feel free to :lbrain:
Iffen you wait 5 more years for the hooman studies then 10 for the FDA approval and another 5 or so for the information to reach manufacturing You could purchase an FDA approved medical device that could reduce inflammatory markers by up to 50% :gstars:
OR you can see there is a 50% reduction in them markers from a near infared system that uses only 6 W/m2 after only 10 minutes and realize it would be easier, cheaper and vastly faster to just does it yerself and see iffen it werks :buttkick:
Srsly do you even psience? :roll:
Anywho you said covid attacks weak bits 'n all I said was it's not uncommon for cold/flu's to does that and I amembers TLR4 for covid 'cuz light werked :angel: The rest is yer baggage and :drama: :moon:
Oh ok that Whole 30 thang looks remarkably sane :thumbs: it looks like a Weston A. Price kind of pHilosopHy attached to a ... some doof isn't doog for you belief and the idea is to eat doog doof for a month then figure out the thangs that are doesing you wrong :angel: That could work for atleast 10% of the US population that doesn't realize they has a doof allergy AND learning to eat doog doof will prolly bump the numbers by 30% not even including the placebo effected ones :oz:
Why would the durty duo not wanna try it? :scratch: It looks like a purty easy diet as far as these thangs go :dunno: ... though I wouldn't want to pay for their doof service :sofa:

Methinks you are the one with :button: s when I know things I hadn't oughta know. :hysterical:
Like...I knew Covid had the key. :check:
I know Light works though I had temporarily forgotten to engage it. :duh:
And the one that bothers you most... I don't need proof. :no:
:bsl:
It's all good. Light therapy engaged. :check:
Everyone improving. :check:
Covid is really weird, bordering on evil. :basementcat:
Anyway...the Dirty Duo ( :chuckle: ) won't do Whole 30 becuz they are not going to adhere to any 'rules'.
Zen Aunt will not give up her sugar addiction & Mom will not let go of peanut butter (even for a day! :faint: ).
And they will not stop going out to eat & eating fried foods.
Mom. in particular, is very set in her ways. Has a very limited diet. Peanut butter, crackers, canned salmon & tuna, eggs, cheerios...and then the fried chicken, fried catfish, BLTs, country breakfasts (biscuits, gravy, homefries, eggs, sausage) when she goes out.
Zen Aunt on the other hand eats everything. :frantic: But is especially fond of sweets....and cheese. :chuckle:
They ain't gonna change. :sigh: They think they've earned the right to eat what they want by virtue of being the age that they are. :woe:
Their mother, my grandmother, was 5'2" & weighed 220 when she died. She died from chronic bronchitis & emphysema (never smoked...hated smoking) but it was really the extra weight that killed her. I clearly remember when I was teenager & we'd come to visit Zen Aunt always enlisted Mom & I to help 'talk' to grandmother about her weight. :uhoh: Grandmother was a tiger. :rawr:
The last 'talk' (intervention) we had I remember everyone in tears & Grandmother adamantly saying, "I am NOT going on any diets. I will eat what I want & I will die happy.". :luvcry:
And she did.
She also fried the best chicken & made the absolute best pies. :sigh: And would never ever disrespect a green by cooking it without fatback. :sigh: Just like so very very very many southerners.
Sig...we can barely go to a restaurant any more at all becuz even the vegetables are shimmery with pork fat. :gaah:
There is no such thing as clean eating here. It sucks cuz once in awhile it's nice to not hafta cook & clean up.
There is one, lunch-only. take-out that usta be vegetarian but now offers chicken cuz well...no business... Her food is mostly clean.
Most the Asian restaurants have gone buffet & they ALL have one table (or more) full of fried zucchini, fried okra, greasy lima beans, sugary sweet potatoes, :pizza: , fried catfish, cornbread....yep, they too caved to their customers.
Anyway...rant over. :rofl:
As if we weren't freakish enough around here...

:flyball:
"Covid is really weird, bordering on evil. :basementcat: "
:chuckle: No :nono: the majority of the whurled has no idea how lucky we were that covid was such a weak pandemic. Coronaviruses are one of the slowest to mutate which gave the vaccine time to be developed AND vastly longer efficacy than would normally be :egg: pected ADD on the fact that initial transmissibility was relatively low and mortality rate less than many other pandemic level viruses and we really dodged a bullet :guns:
The Omicron variant was a cross with a common cold which greatly blunted the virulence while :bump: ing the transmissibility. For all intents and porpoises the virus transformed into it's own vaccine :angel: It is weird :yes: but it was far from the EBIL it coulda :bean: :yes:
They is right :yes: they earned the right to eat whatever by passing the age of 18 :oz:
As for not adhering to rules that's fine ... most don't even those who try :rimshot:
Begging and pleading for someone to change a fundamental part of what they consider themselves is like trying to shame someone into a change it basically doesn't werk and frequently does the opposite of what is wanted :console:
Werk with what they do and make it better but not for health reasons :nono: does it 'cuz it tastes better AND iffen it just happens to be better for them call it a bonus :angel:
Like durt momma peanut butter is an easy one ... espeeshully iffen she eats a lot :thumbs: Peanuts are surprisingly healthy even the oil is doog :yes: what makes peanut butter "bad" is the palm or partially hydrogenated vegetation oil ... it's what keeps it from separating.
The thang is once you source the peanuts, there's no end to the type of peanut butter you can make. Old fashioned with just salt is fine but you'll prolly want to add a dab of honey to make up for the loss of palm oil { :secret: it makes the butter sweeter}. I always recommend a pinch of cayenne and I also add a little MSG :whistle: but the main thang is the type of peanuts used :yes:
Oh and iffen her blender isn't up to :stun: butterification I recommend a cheap doof processor :yes: Just make sure it can make nut butters :wiggle:
The point is it's a simple step to moove a bad doof to a better option. Iffen nut buttering isn't her thang then git an option with coconut oil instead of the palm or hydrogenated ffuts :angel: Personally I'd just make my own with coconut oil but to each their own :oz:
For the heavy carbs and deep fried meals try selling them on an orange flavoured psyllium husk thang like Metamucil and or a mix with soluble fiber. Not only do both of these bind oils they act like the fiber from vegetation and moobs thangs along afores the body digest them. In other wurdz taking these moments afores a meal reduces the calorie gain :yesss: The fact that it also means they will be FULL with smaller portions is just a bonus as well as the binding of bile salts, cholesterol and :cleanse: d GI tract :angel:
As for the sugar thang ... you should talk ZA into trying allulose :yes: but NOT as a replacement more like WITH whatever sugary ffuts. Allulose is a marginally useful sugar substitute BUT it lowers insulin spikes and increases insulin sensitivity.
Thang is allulose is 70% as sweet as sugar but it doesn't quite taste like sugar neether :nono: it's not bad BUT sumthin is missing :hmm2: That said iffen you mix sugar 60% to ~40% allulose you git to a point where you really cannot tell it's not sugar :nono: 'cept allulose is Zero on the glycemic index AND you can cook with it :yes: which means it's an easy no real taste difference change that can cut almost half the sugar PLUS give you bonus points for insulin spike lowering and sensitivity :bump: ing :angel:
The Point ... if someone is more interested in doof than health accept it :buttkick: Then iffen you want them to change appeal to THEIR interests not yours :thwack:
As for the Whole30 what not ... didja looks at the DIY section 'cuz the "rules" basically boil down to eat real doof that isn't processed. The 30 day no this or that is really just for those who have symptoms of some type of doof allergy or negative interaction. Iffen they is doof stable they can just skip it and go straight to the eating only real doof part :dunno:
Anywho it was a while back but I was intrigued by the sugar substitutes and :check: ed out a bunch of thangs like monk fruit ... etc. I thinxz that was mostly for siguie brand sodas :scratch: but another thang I learned to rather like is "date paste" :yes: The thang is you mentioned J ack i rather likes the frozen :banana: chocolate ice cream ... well kind of in the same vein is chocolate date truffles :thumbs:
They are quite doog :yes: I also like coconut date bars and or date bars with pistachios or just mixed with shredded coconut etc.
The point is there are a lot of healthy ways to git yer sugar on :bliss:
Oh and I likes Date Lady Organic Date Paste <= Amazon Link ... it's prolly cheaper to git dates from Costco and use a doof processor BUT I hate trying to clean dates out of the doof processor :fist:

Thang is allulose is 70% as sweet as sugar but it doesn't quite taste like sugar neether :nono: it's not bad BUT sumthin is missing :hmm2: That said iffen you mix sugar 60% to ~40% allulose you git to a point where you really cannot tell it's not sugar :nono: 'cept allulose is Zero on the glycemic index AND you can cook with it :yes: which means it's an easy no real taste difference change that can cut almost half the sugar PLUS give you bonus points for insulin spike lowering and sensitivity :bump: ing :angel:
The Point ... if someone is more interested in doof than health accept it :buttkick: Then iffen you want them to change appeal to THEIR interests not yours :thwack:
As for the Whole30 what not ... didja looks at the DIY section 'cuz the "rules" basically boil down to eat real doof that isn't processed. The 30 day no this or that is really just for those who have symptoms of some type of doof allergy or negative interaction. Iffen they is doof stable they can just skip it and go straight to the eating only real doof part :dunno:
Anywho it was a while back but I was intrigued by the sugar substitutes and :check: ed out a bunch of thangs like monk fruit ... etc. I thinxz that was mostly for siguie brand sodas :scratch: but another thang I learned to rather like is "date paste" :yes: The thang is you mentioned J ack i rather likes the frozen :banana: chocolate ice cream ... well kind of in the same vein is chocolate date truffles :thumbs:
They are quite doog :yes: I also like coconut date bars and or date bars with pistachios or just mixed with shredded coconut etc.
The point is there are a lot of healthy ways to git yer sugar on :bliss:
Oh and I likes Date Lady Organic Date Paste <= Amazon Link ... it's prolly cheaper to git dates from Costco and use a doof processor BUT I hate trying to clean dates out of the doof processor :fist:
TIme to goes home :bye: :run:

The looong HOT continues 80°F :no: and the next week is all high 70's but atleast it's cooling down a few degrees ... eventually :sigh:
But still 80°F on Kaleday :drama:
"Sig...we can barely go to a restaurant any more at all becuz even the vegetables are shimmery with pork fat. :gaah: "
:scratch: pork fat congealz pretty quick ya sure it's not :tater: starch? :dunno: 'cuz that's literally one of the reasons for using it ... to make ffuts shiny oooh ahhh :wubsigh:
"There is no such thing as clean eating here. It sucks cuz once in awhile it's nice to not hafta cook & clean up."
Ebeyrthang is durty :check:
Um I thinxz yer confusing the concept of "clean eating" ... that is/was a fad diet where you avoid restaurants and convenience doof in order to eat only doof that you can see is "clean" unprocessed and and generally mostly raw or I guess cooked in a questionably "clean" way :dunno:
Anywho you live in the self-proclaimed boonies { :secret: Culinary Wasteland } you don't has the population density to support many restaurants much less support places catering to :hippy: health concepts and general :woo: tastes :roll:
Why not try asking the 'local' health doof stores where to eat? :dunno:
Better Living Natural Foods, 1706 Hwy 70 W, Camden, TN 38320 32 miles from you
Sunflower Health Food, 628 Us Highway 51 Bypass West, Dyersburg, TN 38024 ~65 miles from you
:slowday:
Oh almost fergetted ... like you :horror: ... dad isn't thrilled about me adding gelatin to ffuts :sigh: SO ... :whatever: ... I gave him a bottle of Glycine :angel:
Glycine is the "main" component of gelatin {~30%} it's also sweet {hence the name} so it can be added to thangs like :coffee: iffen you can drink bad coffee :hmm: BUT it's not hard to add to doof :yes: Anywho, like gelatin {on account of that 30% thang} it helps in many ways from generating glutathione and promoting connective tissue development as well as slooowing down muskle loss 'n ffuts ... oh and also needed for strong bones and making hemoglobin. :angel:
Anywho, I had a whole disquisition ready fro Pan ... ya noes fer after the vit.C one ... perchance after the light ffuts :sigh:
:kickcan:
The point ... Glycine ... kinda important :yes: ... especially for plant based dieting ... ok pretty much only for plant based dieting :whistle: The reason vegetarians in general tend to git that wrapped in paper skin look is the lack of collagen and elastins ... which of course comes from a lack of ... du Duh DUN :cow: or ya noes gelatin OR yeah fine Glycine :oz: Oh and you can git vegan/kosher glycine powder purty cheap :oz:
Anywho, it wasn't discussed BUT in addition to personal feelinz about animule eating I figured one reason she went vegan :hippy: was to counter RA joint issues. It's a known thang that going :mushrooms: reduces inflammatory markers in the :egg: act same way as the Dr.E protocol for CAD :yes: That's all doog and fine 'cept yer also reducing the rate of connective tissue repair and generating 'cuz no building blocks :dunno:
Did I mention Glycine and Ascorbic Acid ... reduce inflammation AND build collagen and elastin? :wiggle:

I wondered abouts you. :yes: :hugs:
Missed the contact with the 'other side of the pond'. :righton:
And yes, sig, I hears ya. :yes: And I noes where to eat when out locally. :yes: Point was, there are few options.
And yes, it is pork fat. Bacon grease usually but also often lard. Bits of pork in any & all beans & legumes & most other vegetables.
These are my people. I usta cook just like they do so I know. :sparkle:
And Mom... Jif. Nothing but Jif. Always, forever, no discussion.
And nope... I say nothin about their diets & offer no nothins...unless they ask & then I am happy to help.
My biggest challenge is keeping Jacki from being so hard on them. :rofl: She tends to believe that we're right, they're wrong. :eek:
I constantly hafta tell her how everybody is free to do (& eat) whatever they want.
But...if she is with them any length of time she becomes just like them. :horror: :rofl:
Anyway...today is Nashville day. :elfparty: Gotta shake a leg.

:hi: :michafire:
I was wunderin aboutz you too :yes: <= I mean :tapfoot:
Yup, I :bean: watching yer weather and the UK :yes: It's a lot wacked :uhoh:
I thunked the :fall: weather pattern was starting BUT nope changed it's mind :darn:
Hungry is doog :yes: it means you can make more doof to eat :happydance:
Also how are thangs in yer part of the whurled :share:
"... Bits of pork in any & all beans & legumes & most other vegetables."
Seems reasonable :yes:
"And Mom... Jif. Nothing but Jif. Always, forever, no discussion. "
:righton: durt momma :thumbs:
Jif is purty much #1 'cuz it does taste the best :yes: though for cookies or dessert ffuts then I'd goes with Peter Pan :angel:
You should rejoice Jif is also purty healthy as far as peanut butters go :yes: they use FULLY hydrogenated soybean oil now and reduced the added oil back in 2012 ... mostly to reduce cost :whistle: ... BUT they gotted rid of the trans fat early on AND lowered the overall oil PLUS they happen to be using the least inflammating oil which coinkadinkally happens to be the cheapest :whistle:
Srsly Jif is one of the healthiest options she could choose, not only do they use less added oil they smately use mono and di glycerides as the emulsifier :thumbs: Ya see the "added oil" originally was meant to prevent separation only it needed to be a solid oil the cheapest of which is trans or partially hydrogenated oils :unthumbs: NOW Jif only adds oil to make peanut batches more or less the same ... :secret: some have less oil. To keep the peanut butter emulsified they use mono and di glycerides which cleverly do not add to the triglyceride numbers 'cuz they is one or two steps off :beerme:
Anywho Jif does has an "All Natural" version but it's :carp: ... on the other hand Costco's all natural peanut butter is surprisingly doog :thumbs:
In any event it's yer choice Jif is a tricky one to beat :yes: their :secret: is molases :yes:
Does ya amemberz the ... Homemade Magic Bullet {siguie's eXtraordinarily Dangerous kitchen tip} (https://psifly.com/cr2/index.php?topic=25634.0) ... thread?
"So that said a nice little safety feature is you can use plastic jars as well :yes: The little peanut butter jars work fine and attach no problem :thumbs: In fact most bottles/jars lids use common sizes and thread densities so you'll be surprised what fits :angel: "
Anywho, this was back when I was werken on nut butters and ways to prevent separation. I had just about ebery brand of peanut butter I could find in the small sizes BUT I also werked out the best brand was Jif and that the molases they add is most likely a mix of Blackstrap Molasses and medium dark. I was :egg: pectin black strap 'cuz it's the cheapest but they likely git sumthin a little afore that stage :yes:
And yes I has a thang for nut butters 'n currently still werken on nut milks :oz:
Iffen ya doesn't want to mess with durt momma's Jif that's fine :yes: BUT you can make yer own :stun: butter that's better than Jif :muaha:
Oh and yes you can Buy Mono and Di Glycerides fromm Amazon (https://amzn.to/3CCT1Ho) <= Amazon Link ... I recommend the flakes AND you have to melt them in oil to disperse them or atleast soften them with heat OR use a super blender :superman: that generates atleast 140°F.
That said I use a little lecithin :angel: and to beat Jif for flavour a pinch of cayenne and dollop of maple syrup in addition to the molases mix. Plus iffen you use doog peanuts there's no comparison :angel:
Oh and affores I git anymore off track I use Spatulas Mixing Batter Scraper (https://amzn.to/3cocsJ6) <= Amazon Link and Mad Hungry Spurtle Silicone Set (https://amzn.to/3PTXVTo) <= Amazon Link for most ffuts :angel:
SO ... :whatever: ... siguie brand :stun: butter cheat ... git Costco all natural peanut butter, mix lecithin into the separated oil bit first cuz it's easy, add molases and or maple syrup {not too much since there is water in it} a pinch of cayenne then mix using the Mad Hungry spurtle for BIG bottles and the little spurtlas for small batches. I've occasionally used my mixers blade attachemnt iffen I does both Costco bottles at once BUT that's a lot of cleanup werk :sofa: Mosly spurtle and mix for about 5 minutes manually :flex:
Yeah yeah I noes :whatever: just buy Jif :roll: but mines better, cheaper and very VERY slightly healthier :moon:
"And nope... I say nothin about their diets & offer no nothins..."
That's fine and yer choice :yes: ... I just disagree :oz: ... fer dad he wont does or take anythin unless there's oodles of trials and tribulations prooving whatever is real AND most times he wont does it iffen it's inconvenient :gaah: That's why I come up with ffuts like soups with chickpeas or spreads that just happen to be healthy AND of course providing the links to the oodles of trials 'n tribulations that proove ffuts. Then I just make it easy for him to take 8)
Oh and I also noes what he likes so for thangs like making sure he has enough copper and zinc I gives him siguie brand walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Though he also has zinc and copper glyconates that I gave him in small containers should he decides he wants to try it.
"My biggest challenge is keeping Jacki from being so hard on them. :rofl: She tends to believe that we're right, they're wrong. :eek:

Ya mean :egg: cept for her :whistle:

I constantly hafta tell her how everybody is free to do (& eat) whatever they want."
Ya mean :egg: cept for her :whistle:
Epon. She is free to eat whatever she wants. :yes: Of courses, she'll hafta buy it & make it herself. :rofl:
But with Mom she eats shrimp...chicken...ice cream. She came home with kettle corn & told me she'd had a funnel cake at the Sweet Tea Festival. :chuckle:
But she knows she feels better when she eats better. She's a mini nutrition geek.
In her Zooom nutrition class she was a rock star. :headbang: And she constantly chastised me for things like peeling the sweet potatoes (the skin is the most nutritious part, she'd say. 'This skin is old, wrinkly & almost dead', I'd reply :chuckle: ) or roasting nuts (They're better for you raws, Mom :roll: )
Siguie's head is too bug! :hysterical: I picture a :grashoppah: bug. :rofl:
And :sigh: we really miss nut butters. :sigh: :b: has cheated & had a bit of almond butter on days he just can't get full.
But 98% of the time there is none. :sigh: I grew up on peanut butter. Jif. :chuckle: Cuz Mom does not change anything hardly ever. She did somehow switch from RC to Coke but that's just becuz RC became hard to find. :woe:
The Roger Waters show was fabulous tho it was delayed for some reason & us, along with 10,000+ of our best friends, had to stand in line encircling the arena for over an hour. :wtf: Peoples were very patient. :om:
And Nashville, after the show, was manic, too crowded, & ugly. :lalala:
We were starving so on the way back to the hotel we searched for a something to eat. :sigh:
There was basically nothing we were apposta eat. But it was midnight & we hadn't eaten since noon so I says, let's just go anywhere. We found a 'diner'. Named Diner. :chuckle: Open-air, not too loud. With a late-night limited menu consisting of burgers, fries, a sausage burrito & fried chicken tenders. All ridiculously over priced. So I gotted the $12 fries & he gotted the $18 chicken tenders.
But yesterday morning we experienced the lovely side of downtown Nashville when just 2/10 of a mile the other direction we had an awesome vegan breakfast on an outdoor patio across the street from where a group of peoples were practicing yoga. :namaste:
A total, complete, different vibes. :sparkle:
And bestest of all...remarkably the 4-leggeds had not disturbed a single thing, the house didn't stink, even Cookie had not peed or pooped in the 24 hours we'd been gone. :faint: We had left her in (she's a wuss) with LOTS of pee pads down.
Cat doof was left on a counter, with a chair for the elders to jump up. Scooby Doo has bad arthritis & cannot jump so he was locked in Snoop's room with his bed, a littler box, food & water.

"... Of courses, she'll hafta buy it & make it herself. :rofl: "
Surprisingly that's half the nuf :bliss:
Fer realz :yes: it's one of the reasons I order thangs from around the whurled ... like "Weiper" a speeshul instant broth that is amazing for ramen :angel: It's durt cheap in Japan AND it's eberywherez but not in the US :gaah: though now Amazon sellz it but it's a Chinese source :sofa:
You should encourage her to does it ... totally worth making thangs yerself :thumbs:
"And :sigh: we really miss nut butters. :sigh: :b: has cheated & had a bit of almond butter on days he just can't get full."
:roll: didn't I mention the "protein leverage hypothesis" ? :scratch: Wikipedia link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_leverage_hypothesis)
Anywho, it's wrong BUT not by much :nono: ... the idea is people will eat until they are "full" but the term full means having eaten enough protein. In other wurdz satiety involves eating sufficient protein. It's a highly over simplified and overused concept that does have some truth to it. People need protein and many people will not feel satiated until they git enough. Of course this is going to depend on the persons metabolism, age, biome and how the body has adapted.
The thang is there is always sumthin the body "wants" or would do better with. The problem is figuring out is it the :blob: and :mushrooms: talking :blah: :blah: sumthin the body was used to but no longer "needs" OR just trying to store up for wynter :wiggle:

"And :sigh: we really miss nut butters. :sigh: :b: has cheated & had a bit of almond butter on days he just can't get full."
:roll: didn't I mention the "protein leverage hypothesis" ? :scratch: Wikipedia link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_leverage_hypothesis)
Anywho, it's wrong BUT not by much :nono: ... the idea is people will eat until they are "full" but the term full means having eaten enough protein. In other wurdz satiety involves eating sufficient protein. It's a highly over simplified and overused concept that does have some truth to it. People need protein and many people will not feel satiated until they git enough. Of course this is going to depend on the persons metabolism, age, biome and how the body has adapted.
The thang is there is always sumthin the body "wants" or would do better with. The problem is figuring out is it the :blob: and :mushrooms: talking :blah: :blah: sumthin the body was used to but no longer "needs" OR just trying to store up for wynter :wiggle:

Yes, he's missing nutrients, dooofus. I been saying for long time now that he's underweight...malnourished.
I think it's connected to the type O negative blood...the large frame. In auyurvedic medicine he is the true carnivorous type.
But alas, his arteries disagree. :sigh:
So we still aim to do no harm to the arterial integrity whilst satisfying the rest of the body.
No small task.
In Nashville we had Just Egg for first time. :yes: I bought some & made it last night. Along with a faux sausage gravy made with oat milk & oil-free biscuits that were pretty amazing if I does say so myself. :faint:
I used half whole wheat & half cauliflower flour (baking soda, powder & salt), then with a pastry cutter I cut in applesauce til crumbly as one would have done with say...um...butter. (I was a killer 'bad for you' biscuit maker). Then I made a well & gradually mixed in oat milk 'soured' with vinegar and I brushed them lightly with the Just Egg.
The protein leverage hypothesis thingy is not quite the whole picture. :nonono:
Protein is what makes one feel full for sure. I don't think people overeat due to lack of protein tho :nonono:
I believe most obese people are malnourished...due to ultraprocessed (read cheap) doof being nutritionally void.
Refried beans & tortilla chips satisfy me. :yes: Fat, salt, protein. But we've forgone the fried tortilla chips. :(
But B needs way more & I get that, too.
He absolutely cannot sustain on the Esselstyn diet long term. :nonono: But even they don't eat that way long term either. :nonono: The Engine Two Diet which is Rip Esselstyn's baby & basically just WFPB before it was named :chuckle: adds avocado, olive oil, walnuts,
How could almond butter mess up a vegan biome? :huh:
Anyway... I think it was doog that we were super strict for 3 months, but now we gotta find a middle ground upon which to maintain.

No, Leptin is what makes you feel full and it needs to be generated in sufficient quantities to tellz yer hypothalamus to hit the Full flag.
And yeah I get it ya didn't mean it that way :whatever: but unerstanzing the process is part of fixing the problem. Plants have protein eating more will/should eventually set off the Full signal.

Srsly yer kinda just mixing eberythang together then blaming the wurd "processed" for all that's bad :roll: and jumping on the nutritionally void bandwagon. Nuthin is "nutritionally void" even delicious pure 100% refined sugar :wubsigh: has nutritional value :rstars:

Just because he "can" sustain on Dr.E's protocol doesn't mean it's the best choice for B but unerstanz that protocol has a nigh miraculous track record :yes: :angel:

So I just inadvertantly responded to much of that in the nutrition thread before reading this. :rofl:
I'm telling ya...his body changes fast. Way faster than lamron. He gains & loses 10-15 pounds in just a day or 2. :crazyeyes:
He weighed 194 at the orthopedist yesterday. :huh: Just a week ago he was down to 178. :uhoh: yzarc.
I dunno if it's can't or won't but he says he cannot go on with NO oil, nuts, avocado, nothin filling. Iffin he just eats more, like Dr E says to does, he just goes to the bathroom more & loses more weight. :no: The vegetation...greens in particular...go right through him. And he feels hungry all the time. I've seen him stand at the pantry & eat 3 slices of bread before bed just to quell the hunger pangs. :sigh:
Anyway...the rest is in other thread.
Ortho said he is 99.5% sure it is rotator cuff & he gave him a cortisone shot in the shoulder, prescribed meloxicam 15 mg & gave him a theraband & exercises to do starting in 1 week.
He said he'll see him back in 3 weeks & if no improvement then he'll order an MRI & most likely PT.
The ortho also says it's likely not the statin cuz it's just 1 shoulder. He says statin side effects usually affect both sides.
And when B was on the atorvastatin it was both hips that hurt.
And yeah, maybe he is medium build cuz he is mostly legs. :hysterical:

Not really ... that's just a guy thang :dunno: Also we mostly don't care what we weigh, that's why ~70% of eating disorders are female and the 30% male tend to be athletes or those with other mental disorders.

Perchance he cannot do it and it's possible he doesn't need it :dunno: There are dramatic advantages to following Dr.E's protocol which I have not seen in other lifestyle changes BUT it's also a lot harder to do. :horror: Also I don't think Dr.E or anyone has said to fill up on "greens" :scratch: :tater: and :bean: s Yes :yes: but greens not so muches :nono:
Anywho I posted ffuts over in the nutrition thread ... it's his choice :yes: ... just make sure he unerstanz what the options are and how the differences will effect his life.

I'm pushing for Dr.E's protocol 'cuz that's the fastest and likely only way to a 'possible' complete reversal of his condition. Everything else I've seen is either unconfirmed or simply mitigates the issues. The problem with those is then they become lifelong issues that need to be monitored and eventually age catches up {unless yer me 8) } and it's a weakest link issue.
BUT I totally agree Dr.E is clearly short for Dr.EBIL 'cuz that's a nasty difficult protocol to follow :horror:
"The ortho also says it's likely not the statin cuz it's just 1 shoulder. He says statin side effects usually affect both sides."
Yes, that's fair :yes: and generally true BUT it depends on the symmetricalness of the person and iffen there's a prior injury it can still be a statin issue effecting "both sides" just that the injured side hurts ... agin.

Last night I told B I feel a serious heaviness in the air. :splat:
So much so that I can understands people 'losing it' in all kinds of ways. :sigh: :earthhug:
From floods in Pakistan to no running water in Jackson Mississippi (affecting 180,000 ppl) to heatwaves all over the place. Rising prices, social/political unrest all over the world, etc, etc, etc.
I'm counting on the multiple astrologers who say we gots just another year of this extreme unsettling. :chuckle: :sparkle:
I can handles another year. Axshully, I can handles :whatever: cuz I can easily slp into Nature & out of it all. :flowerom:

Obliviously far FAR too HOT to be mucking about :uhoh: My solar powered AC is cooling the backrooms to a pleasant 61°F :bliss: and atleast downstairs is low 70's. I should really put the mylar back in the skylight :hmm2:

I don't think 98.6 is 'normal' any mores. :nonono: All 3 of us run around 97.4.
But still...low 60s & 50s make my fingers numb. :yes: Oddly, notsomuch in real cold. Just chilly temps do it.
Solly you gots the hot. :yes: We are much more equipped to handle it here. :yes: Tho low 80s (70s! next week) are awesome.
:bliss:
So Sig...I just read a blip from NY Times (I don't subscribe so I can't get the whole story :sigh: ) that said it is best to wait 3-6 months after having had covid before getting the booster 2.0, elsewise it may not be effective.
Is that correct?
We had originally planned on getting booster mid-September cuz of going to a wedding in Ohio on 10/1. :yes:
But getting covid beforehand was not part of the original plan. :chuckle:
I'm in no particular hurry but B wants to be boosted as soon as it's feasible & warranted. But he pretty much just does what I tels him to does anyway. :rofl:
Man oh man yesterday I was total complete :blob: all day long. :sigster: <---- wombie
All 3 of us were quite :mrcrankypants: as well.
Just a heavy heavy day. :splat:

So I was gonna take Jacki to see B's dermatologist til I found out they do not accept her insurance. :sigh:
NO dermatologist 'nearby' do. She's on Tenncare (medicaid) & it seems they (as well as many others) deem dermatology an unnecessary specialty. :sigh:
Anyway...her hair loss is getting worse. She is still doing the light 3-5x a week for 20 minutes.
And she takes biotin as well as C, B12, D3 & K2.
In past years we've tried many a supplement (giving each at least 3 months for a fair test), many a shampoo.
I has 2 questions:
1. Is minoxidil really that bad? We have not tried it & the reviews are quite impressive. There is a women's rogaine with 5% minoxidil & a keratinique with 2%.
2. Does biotin in a shampoo really help anything?
Ok... 3. :chuckle: Is there anything at all that could maybe help either topically or internally?
She's not paarticularly stressed about it & I am careful not to make her self-conscious...
but it's pretty bad. Between Stages 3 & 4 according to these pics:
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Sinclair-scale-for-female-pattern-hair-loss-Stage-1-is-normal-Stage-2-shows-widening-of_fig1_281102749
And yes, we still spritz with the lavender water. :yes:
The dermatologist thingy may be for the best anyway. I think what they have to offer is biologic-type meds...akin to the psoriasis drugs. Ffuts that messes with your everything.

It depends on what/how yer measuring forehead temp with no contact IR is typically 97-ish :yes: it's only "core" temps that are 98.6 nermal.

Yes, no, sorta ... iffen you git a vaccine the same month you gotted the virus it wont make much of a difference 'cuz yer body is still primed and ready for the real deal a faux virus wont even pHase it. Six to eight weeks after an initial infection yer antibodies begin to fade away :bye: BUT T-cell memory is their for atleast a year prolly 2 or 3 minimum and quite likely longer :yes: However, antibodies are the first line of defense so 3 to 6 months after infection a vaccine will :bump: them back up to optimal levelz :thumbs: The T-cells still remember the original nasty version so it wont help there BUT antibodies :gstars:
That said the vaccines were all made for covid original flavour AND they do still werk against the variants atleast to prevent serious infection :thumbs: BUT that's more T-cell werk ... the thang is you all gotted the covid because the antibodies from the original strain does NOT prevent infection by the newest Omicron variants. In fact antibodies of one variant wont stop infection by the others :nono: or atleast not very well :nono:
I noes vaccine developers like Novavax are mooving towards covid-flu combo vaccines, that's what I'm hoping to git. Realistically covid vaccine is only significantly useful for those who have never gotten it {shot or the covid} ... for eberyone else it's really equal to a common cold. For youses I cannot imagine it being of any significant value :nono: Even dad skipped booster 4 ... caught a variant and was fine in less than a week with really only 2 or 3 days of any significant symptoms :dunno:
K as for :afro: loss I is the wrongest of wrong guyz to ask ... anything I noes is 'cuz I was asked and looked ffuts up in the past. It's possible that I just has AMAZIN genetixz 8) or like with my nitric oxide production I just happened to coinkadinkilly gotten eberythin right :dunno:
Minoxidil has side effects though I think it's the other one that is particularly bad :scratch: the big issue with minoxidil is that once you start you cannot eber stop or you'll loose it all.
That said I noes the proteome {the group of proteins involved in whatever } for male patterned hair loss was recently published and the effect of laser light on hair gowth was definitively proven :thumbs:
Iffen it's not bothering her I say leave it alone :buttkick: Alternatively save up and buy her a laser cap :yes: The light is just a quick easy way to see iffen and how well it werks. Iffen it's not werken perchance it wont :dunno: OR most likely it's too much trouble to use regularly enough to does it the cheap way :drama:
For realz :yes: when something is impoortant you'll find a way iffen it's not that important people wont does it :nono: The next step is find an easier way or realize it doesn't mean as much as you thinxz :therethere:
Oh and there's a big controversy over whether Gelatin makes hair and nails grow faster and or stronger and or thicker. The correct answer is both sides are correct and not :oz: There's a maximum amount yer body can does and or wants to does IFFEN you gives it enough resources it will happily max out :yes: Iffen you restrict resources it will does what it can with what it gots prioritizing whatever it thinxz should has higher or lower priorities.

But we gonna wait anyway. :wiggle:
And her hair & nails (all of ours) grow extremely fast. That is not a problem. Hers just fallies out. :faint:

Elsewise...it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. :flowerom:

She is one of the few people in my family who truly understands our love of living as we do. :hugs:
The rest of the family just think we :crazy: :rofl: But she always got it. She once told me, "There's nothing better than to be able to grow flowers & take care of the animals.". :wub:

It's 98°F now and is gonna hit 100°F ... soon ... :horror:
This massively :suck: s :gaah: minions keep popping in to bother me in the cold room :wall: I'm werken here :fist:
"Sig, there's a new bivalent vaccine. It's not just a 4th booster. :yes: "
It's just the original vaccine plus a vaccine for the ffuts you literally just had :roll:
I'm not saying it's a bad thang :nono: but the quad seasonal flu vaccine should has one of the 4 slots as covid BA4/5 vaccine PLUS 3 potential winter flus OR at the very least the current Bivalent vaccine plus 2 more :dunno:
Though to be completely honest, unless there is a significant covid mutation I'm done with covid :buttkick: I'm ok iffen they add new variants to the flu shot but otherwise we've long passed the point of diminishing returns :yes:
"And her hair & nails (all of ours) grow extremely fast. That is not a problem. Hers just fallies out. :faint: "
:roll: yer kinda missin the point ... yet agin :whistle: "Fast" is a qualitative term and really don't mean anythin :nono: ... are you saying that given more suitable protein your hair and nails cannot grow faster, thicker, stronger? :dunno:
Plant based diets are notoriously low in protein and espeeshully key collagen producing amino acids. Perhaps her body is just using her :brick:s to promote her skin and joints over hair :afro:
Also you may want to invest in a small usb microscope :yes: Not only can you more closely :egg: zamine the growing hair folicle but you can git a doog look at the skin layers and pore PLUS you can use the red light to illuminate deeper and see into the dermis { :secret: below the epidermis}.
Also take a look at this youtube (https://youtu.be/-DHiaoCLpTY) ... it's just an :egg: ample and I didn't watch it all 'cuz what she is doesing wont werk :nono: BUT she is using a doog microscope and you can see the buildup around the folicle and shaft :thumbs:
The thang is build up is a common reason for follicle shrinking and fingers and fingernails are not necessarily the best option for cleaning them :nono: I use a Scalp Massager (https://amzn.to/3QzozRE) <= Amazon link aka "Shampoo Brush" ... I use the green one and the plurple one is at Dad's :oz:
Take a look at videos about scalp exfoliating and microscope videos ... it prolly wont fix her hair issues but it likely will help 'cuz just cleaning the pores and stimulating blood flow is a doog thanag :yes: espeeshully iffen you've been using oils in her hair. The oils unhelp when they end up clogging the folicle :uhoh:
Also a microscope will let you see the shaft health and you can more easily seez the difference between vellus and terminal hair and anythin transitioning :uhoh:
Dang the Queen has transitioned :sigh:

But for the most part the number of non-covid deaths were :egg: pected to decrease but they haven't :horror: Most of these deaths are in groups with significant comorbidities ... like Alzheimer/dementia patients, diabetics as well as coronary disease groups :uhoh: more significantly they are evenly spread in ALL ages AND the only correlation is that the states with the highest and earliest vaccinations have the fewest.
In other wurdz these deaths while not attributable to covid directly have some factors suggesting a residual or atleast protracted covid effect that can lead to death in some individuals. The vaccine also seems to ward off this :whatever: it is to some degree but still :dunno:
In other newses ... on the way home Gideon turned on his :check: engine light :gaah: so I drove straight to the service shop, left Gideon for a :check: up and gotted a rental ... a Toyota Avalon Hybrid ... it's a big eco-friendly :brick:
I had to moob ffuts in order to snug it into my garage. I may need to do a HomeDepot run and git some ffuts that wont fit in gideon :hmm2: I sure hope Gideon gits well soon :uhoh:
Oh and I gave the service guy my super capacitor talk so they wouldn't accidentally :boom: anythin. I thunked super cap battery products were fairly common now aka Boost Caps but nope he neber heard nuthin so I showed how I routed ffuts and the now many years old $40 walmart battery that shouldn' be able to werk :chuckle: I always git such a kick when car guyz do the THAT :wheee: battery can start this engine and I sez "Oh No :nonono: the battery isn't needed :nono: it's just there to keep the car legal :yes: " :hysterical:
I lubs doesing that but since some test involve disconnecting the battery I need to make sure they noes disconnecting the battery doesn't disconnect the boost cap AND the ends are still LIVE :frantic:
I'm betting on another Bad sensor :sigh: after 22 years they kinda wear out :sigh:

Gideon is 22? :faint:
The Ghost is 18 & I thunk it old.. :chuckle: (F150)
And yes, it seems so very many are leaving the planet now. :angel: It is the time the Elders spoke about ages ago.
The time when the planet would begin 'shaking people off like a dog shaking fleas'. :huh:
And this: Perhaps her body is just using her :brick:s to promote her skin and joints over hair :afro:
Did I or did I not mention that she has also had a right shoulder thingy for quite some time (months). It was off & on. We'd be going to see someone & then "let's wait til next week if it hurts again". SO yesterday we saw someone. And she gotted x-rayed.
And then he called with results. :faint:
He said her AC joint shows moderate arthritis. And the glenohumeral shows severe arthritis. :(
So now we wait to see an orthopedist. Prolly the same one B saw.
But meanwhile, I need to get her started on some doog quality glucosamine & chondroitin, don't I?
Boy oh boy this makes me wonder about all her other joints. :sigh: She has had limited mobility forever so it would be hard to notice (& she really can't communicate it) if she had arthritis elsewhere.
So yeah, that's the latest from the Mountain. :wiggle:
Thankfully, our diet will not only benefit her pancreatitis but now also the arthritis. Any itis axshully. :chuckle:
:horn: :sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle:
It's a doozy. :sofa:

"And yes, it seems so very many are leaving the planet now. :angel: It is the time the Elders spoke about ages ago.

Yeah elders say a lot of thangs ... it's nice that you listen 'cuz they likes that :yes:
Yeah iffen a dog is shaking off fleas they was ready to go to the next dog anywyas :yes:

K I'm just :brain: ing here so don't make too muches of this but you was talking about J ack i wanting/liking shrimp ... is this an always has or more recent thang? :popcorn:
This could be coinkadinkel but it's possible she's Zinc deficient :dunno: ... I was thinking about it when yuou mentioned B tended towards anemia.
K first ... Is zinc the missing link for osteoarthritis therapies? (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140213122354.htm) from Science Daily back in 2014
"A study reveals that osteoarthritis-related tissue damage is caused by a molecular pathway that is involved in regulating and responding to zinc levels inside of cartilage cells."

Out of curiosity where do youse git yer Zinc? :scratch: Basically you all need 8 to 12 mg per day and whatever amount you git from eating vegetation should be considered halved at best ... pHytates etc.
Copper and Zinc are two of my favourite supplements mostly 'cuz they is important and dang tricky to take :gaah: Too muches is bad and too little is bad and eberythang washes it out AND they react with each other :wall: But as I mentioned in the nutrition thread ... for zinc the body has developed a "taste" thang :yes: SO ... :whatever: ...

:woohoo:
Yup nailed it ... it's a dirty sensor. They coulda just cleaned it and be done BUT the guy said yeah it's an OLD sensor and he was surprised it was werken still ... most fuel sensors are doog for 7 to 10 years with 15 being a doog run Gideon done real well at 22 years :thumbs: Anywho I said yeah fine replace it AND I'll pick him up tomorrow. :wubsigh:
On another note I was lookin at places that do "nutritional" testing as for people not doof. There are actually a surprisingly large number including "mail-in-kits" where you send samples of ffuts through the mail :horror: Inerestin concept kinda fraught with issues though :whistle:
Anywho there are also places that I believe are leveraging small clinics and labs :yes: This is a clever way to increase monies to these little places and create an online presence :thumbs:
Health Labs (https://www.healthlabs.com/) looks inerestin :yes:
They even has Vegan Nutritional panels also their Zinc blood panel is only $38 which is surprisingly doog for a blood panel :yes: No I am not recommending you does this :nono: Even with supplements I cannot imagine any of youse being sufficient in Zinc :nonono: AND the taste test can be done for under $20 :yes:
Premier Research Premier Liquid Zinc (https://amzn.to/3BtDt7G) <= Amazon Link I haven't tried this ffuts BUT iffen I weren't a kemyst AND had my own doof grade Zinc Sulfate and the wherewithal to does it myself I'd prolly git this ffuts :angel:
Though you could also make ~2.5 gallons of this ffuts for$10 ... so ya noes yer choice :whistle:

And difficult... yeah :sigh: The :zanna: :zannaah: :may5: kinda path. :shera:
I'm looking at osteo bi-flex...yeah I know :whatever: marketing, sales, :blah: :blah: and I know. :yes:
But I also believe (hope) that it is a decent quality product. Anyway, the one with turmeric & boswelia & yeah I noes it's not vegan.
Iffin it can relieve her pain without side effect & keep her from taking so many nsaids then it is worthy. :yes:
Jacki also responds well to placebo effect. :sparkle:
So tomorrow we go get a supplement. :wiggle:

"Ordering. :check: "
:doh: ok a little earlier than :egg: pected
I Likes boswelia ... it's where Frankincense comes from :yes:
Either :j: is supremely doog at enduring pain or I kinda think the "severe" arthritis may be an error 'cuz that's basically walking distance from needing a shoulder replacement.
Also does she has hypermobility? That's the ability to flex a joint beyond it's limits 'cuz I noes those people also git joint pain with weight loss ... just thunked it might be related :dunno:
Oh and I has negative hypermobility aka less than full :egg: tenstion :drama:
"So tomorrow we go get a supplement. :wiggle:"
Has I mentioned the benefits of gelatin :whistle: ... it comes in nuf flavours too ... sounds like :j: :hello:
:flyball:
Oh and since you prolly missed the bread crumbs ... iffen yer against :cow: gelatin ... Glycine is the next bestest thang :whistle:

Amembers I made like 15 boxes of Kroger gelatin when we had covid? :pie:
They both love jello & it's a pretty decent cheat I think.
And this: Oh and I has negative hypermobility aka less than full :egg: tenstion :drama:
Jacki has never been able to straighten out her arms nor raise them straight up above her head. :nonono: Not even close.
Limited mobility is one of her 'disabling factors'....along with autism, what usta be called mental retardation, anxiety disorder....
Whoa...I just remembered she's been extra cranky for the past couple (or more time flies) weeks.
That could be a symptom of pain, if nothin else. She has been taking nsaids like candy (tho at appropriate intervals cuz she's good at that plus always checks with me) and kinda groany now & then. But yes, her pain tolerance is off the charts. :sigh: Mine is pretty high, too. :yes: Redhead/kaerf thang.
Anyway, she really can't describe how she feels very well. :sigh: And it's hard to ask her without 'leading'. :chuckle:
I'm not gonna get worked up about the severe dx until after seeing the ortho. :nonono:
Plus... I have seen so many miracles with this kid that nothing would surprise me.
She was declared legally blind at 6 or so. :yes: But upon recheck her eyes had healed. :sparkle:
She wears no glasses now & is my official fine print reader. :rofl:
We were told she'd never write due to impaired eye/hand coordination & now she prints nearly as well as I do...better if she focuses.
Well first we were told she wasn't gonna make it. 5 weeks old. :sparkle:
We were told her pancreas would hafta be removed within a year (2003).
And on. And on. :sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle:
Doog time for making :magic:

I amemberz EBERYTHANG 8) does YOU amemberz I cannot read? :moon:
Well 15 boxes all at once is a tad :egg: cessive but you might wanna try spreading them out over a couple weeks :dunno:
Also while I'm sure Krogers makes many fine products gelatin deserts are easy to make healthier with real juices and fake sugarz :yes:
"Jacki has never been able to straighten out her arms nor raise them straight up above her head. :nonono: Not even close.

Ok then likely a malformation in the shoulder werks, that 'may" be the root of the problem ... did the doc mention anythin like "calcific tendonitis" 'cuz that would make more sense for a "severe" rating :yes:
"Redhead/kaerf thang. "
Yeah just amemberz that weird pain thang also means that in addition to :bump: ed pain tolerance there's also a :bump: needed for pain meds ... they don't werk so doog :nono: ... one :egg: ception is opioid pain meds they need to be cut roughly in half ... it's the freak part :yes:
I dunno about the "miracle" part ... osteoarthritis is one of those thangs where it's defined when you seez the cartilage damage and it gits redefined as some type of tendonitis when it "miraculously" goes :bye:
Ya see there's "no cure" for arthritis but when it goes away it's ok to rename it and THEN has it be cured :yes: ... medicine is messed up like that :roll:

Gideon! :happydance: :horn: Welcome home. :wubsigh:
I was :missing: :bsl: Didn't even realize til now. :chuckle:
We had a fabulous weekend! :bliss2: :bliss:
Went to Paris twice on Saturday. :rofl:
Ya sees, we were going to find some pansies or violas & also get a few grocery items. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
Well we went to a nursery we hadn't been to in years & there we found the violas. :wub:
BUT...they had annuals at 75% off! :happydance: Like, amazing overwintering-worthy annuals & not just bedding plants. (Tho we did get a whole flat of vincas for $5). Also got a humongous New Guinea Impatien hanging basket for $5! :faint:
So the car ended up so full that we had no room for groceries! :woe:
So we had to bring the plants home...and get a bite of lunch while we here :chuckle: then back to Paris. :wiggle:
Then....we potted & planted & weeded & cut back & re-beautified the gardens. :wubsigh:
All Saturday everning & then again ALL day Sunday. :happydance:
As for opioids... I'm afraid for J ack i to has any at all. :eek: Just 1cc of morphine put her in dire straits when she was 8ish & that's the last opioid she's ever had. A year or so after that she had ketamine which they assured me was NOT an opioid (it was new back then) & they had to call a Chest Code. :sigh:
We won't know more specifics til we see the ortho. We saw a NP who happens to favor orthopedics.
And depending on what the ortho says I wouldn't be surprised iffin he didn't refer her to a rheumatologist. :dunno:
Meanwhile... :sigh: Ice helps her more than anything. I bought her a shoulder brace with an ice/heat gel pack.
And no I dint make 15 boxes of gelatin at once. :woe:
I just made it almost every day. And made some for Mom...twice. :yes:

Yeah 1cc is a meaningless volume without concentration. Thang is opioids are skeery strong and a common "unit" is 2.54mg and that's for a full sized hooman for an 8 year old it should be far less and then that value halved for the dreaded :red: hair syndrome :no:
Iffen she needz the ffuts she oughta be titrated :yes: Like determine an appropriate dose then dilute it by a factor of 100. Then give her 1 dose up until the desired effect is reached then STOP and see how long it lasts afores she needz more then determine the amount needed over time to maintain the appropriate level.
That way you'd git most of the useful information and could calculate her threshold values including lasting duration :angel:
In case you didn't realize it I calculate freaken near EBERYTHANG :logic: I noes my resting heart rate, respiration rate and BP as well as my rates for a 1 mile run WITH cool down stats plotted in a purty curve PLUS a 5 mile run agin with purty cool down data :angel:
Anywho my point is iffen you actually noes important information it's easy to tell iffen sumthin is wrong, beginning to goes wrong AND what thangs are making improvements and by how muches :angel:

Don't durt pHarmeriez mostly grow :carp: from seedz 'n ffuts :dunno: Also why plant just afores wynterz half them thangs wont make it till sprang and the other half will just git gully washed :horror:

So it was an anesthesiologist who gave her 1cc. The usual dose for her size was 5cc he said. Intravenously.
And the tiny amount caused her breathing to slow dramatically...and a type of hiccup that I recognize as 'too much morphine' from when she was 6 months old & OD'd. :sigh:
Plantango... I planted radishes :p In the Dance Hall.
And seeded kale, collards, choi, chard & lettuces in plug trays & :egg: cartons :chuckle:
They will all be planted in the Dance Hall. :yes: And they will be fine, unless we get real crazy stoopy cold, like teens & below for a week or so. :no:
J ack i has an ortho appointment this morning at 10. :cheer:

"J ack i has an ortho appointment this morning at 10. :cheer: "
Doog luck with that :wave:
But :doh: I was gonna sez ask about PRP {Platelet-Rich Plasma} therapy :sigh: It's a non surgical thang that's getting quite popular and along with light therapy :whistle: has been doesing some very impressive ffuts :angel: Oh and it also werks with hyperbaric oxygen therapy which is always a plus :yes:

PRP oblibiously requires an IV? Cuz J ack i has never had an IV that wasn't a central line. :sigh:
They've tried. And tried and tried and tried and tried. Even trying cut downs on her ankles (she has scars on both).
But every single time she winds up with a central line becuz IF they can even get a vein (they roll) it blows.
They say her veins are tiny and rolly. Even a simple blood draw is very very very hard. :sigh:
The ortho (PRN) gave her a cortisone shot & meloxicam like her dad and she is going to start PT 3x a week.
If no improvement after 4 weeks then they want an MRI.
Seems the standard shoulder protocol cuz B was told the same thing.
Thing is, the shot almost immediately relieved his pain & tho it waned he is still considerably better.
She still says it hurts a lot. :sigh:
:dunno: :gheart:
When I had surgery I was 'lucky' enough to have an anesthesiologist who had a wife with red hair. :wub:
He said he'd put her under several times (dint say why :huh: ) & it was amazing....afterwards I instantly popped awake & felt like I was ready to go. :wiggle:
So the hospice person said that my aunt was dying yesterday & the entire family was there. :hearts:
But we never heard anything. :huh: So maybe the hospice person was wrong.
Yesterday was her sister's birthday...my Aunt Ann...and J, Chloe, Mom & I all went out to lunch with her. :hearts:
:papa: 's seesters. :yes:
It definitely feels like :fall: here even tho the temps are rising to the upper 80s.
September 90 does not feel like July or even May 90. :nonono: Methinks it's cuz we are drier.

Wow :faint: way to guess wrong and run with it :slap:
In short NO, they draw some blood, spin it down then inject the "platelet rich plasma" part ... hence the name ... into whereber. The important bit is in the platelets fraction ... it makes ffuts grow faster 'n ffuts ... it can even be injected under the scalp skin to :bump: :afro:
Platelet-rich plasma {PRP} (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/plateletrich-plasma-prp-treatment)
Basically it's a quick ... relatively cheap ... knock off of a stem cell injection :thumbs: it's not BUT the results are similar if not as pronounced :oz:
"Seems the standard shoulder protocol cuz B was told the same thing."
Yup, that's the thang about standardized medicine ... it's just an established flow chart that mostly just treats symptoms :sigh:
Doog luck :wave:
I personally recommend looking at non-approved treatments that hold the potential of cures/fixes while waiting to see what the doctors suggest. Ya neber noes there are some doog ones AND they might noes about up and coming developments :yes: :yes: :nono:

It's still HOT here but it sure does seem like :fall: also the weather people claim there will be :rain: this weekend :faint: ... we basically neber git any wet afores October and even then more like Novemberz :huh: t'is strange indeed but we shall seez :share:

It's quite fascinating :yes: it uses stimulating platelet activation to tell the body there's an injury that must be healed stat :frantic: The body then complies by building resource supply lines and activating regenerative pathways :flex: The prp effect itself can continue for 18 months to 2 years, which is important for thangs like hair growth :afro: but for thangs like a cartilage rebuild that's a doog long time and should last {wear slowly} an additional year or two. Though depending on the situation there is a roughly 6 month maintenance involved so depending on how traumatic the first stage is that's sumthin to be awarez of :dunno:
One step up :bump: would be mesenchymal stem cells therapy :thumbs: these things are freaken AWESOME :happydance:
Stem cell therapy is yet another place where the FDA is just mucking eberythang up :fist: It's actually trivially easy to harvest mesenchymal stem cells ... ya git it from adipose fat tissue from the person and some peoplez have large reserves :rimshot: Then just does it like with the prp :angel:
FYI: Stem cells has an immunomodulatory effect on the immune system as in it can calm it down AND repair damaged tissue. So in addition to osteoarthritis this is particularly doog for RA :angel:
Stem Cell Therapy: A Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment Breakthrough in 2022? (https://www.dvcstem.com/post/rheumatoid-arthritis)
Oh and dvcstem ... the clinic is located in the Cayman Islands :whistle: AND I just happen to noes that the best countries for stem cells medical tourism are India and Thailand :matt: China has issues and Mexico has a lot of scam clinics however for medical tourism in general Thailand is the bestest :yes:
Solly :brain: train got side tracked :whistle: but yeah push for stem cell therapy but accept PRP as a close second :oz:

the :sunhug: knocked me out :eek:
I was suddenly very dizzy friday after the last time I wrote here
and been in bed spinning :stars: clockwise
all Saturday and Sunday ....
Monday doctor said it's just some
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
I feel more like it was a slight blockage in the neck spine
Been in bed all Monday and Tuesday as well - with heating pad on the aching neck muscles
with the spinning getting less
been up on Wednesday lunch time
and all day today
feeling much better but still keeping the neck extra warm
(right side) only where I feel "tight" muscles
not dizzy anymore but still not full well either

Oh my gosh you don't noes the half of it :nono:
Here's a short video The Skin Gun | National Geographic (https://youtu.be/eXO_ApjKPaI) 3:28 from back in 2011
Here's an updated video from 4 years ago Treating burns in seconds using a patient's own stem cells (https://youtu.be/eXO_ApjKPaI) 3:08
It still hasn't cleared FDA approval :gaah:
The worst part is there are already plenty of "better" options including 3D printing systems that use harvested then growed stem cells from adipose tissue to literally spray stem cells over large areas.
In the US we literally have the best medical tech in the whurled only it's not allowed to be used ... so it's mostly Europe and East Asia that use it first AND mostly it's the FDA and the groups in charge of medical facilities preventing it 'cuz it would lower profits :pullhair: That and it's easy to say "safety concerns" go do more tests to delay eberythang :wall:
Oh and take a look at Using stem cells to rejuvenate skin (https://youtu.be/QFD0VmePgaM) ... almost EBERYTHANG they say is completely wrong :woe: BUT it werks AND did I mention I has a centrifuge 8)
Srssly I noes ya no likes videos but these are short and quite dramatic AND the last one is related to PRP.
Anywho that last video does not use stem cells :nono: it's growth factors and the difference between PRP and platelet rich fibrin ... is you use less blood and can does it on a carp centrifuge ya need more :norway: to spin down the platelets. She's basically spinning down the heme components and using eberythang that's left ... aka "growth factorz" :oz:
On the plus side after more than 20 years of being available around the whurld ozone dentistry is starting to be a thang in the US ... well it's findable now :roll:

The burn thingy oughta be a crime! :gaah: Burns are some of the most painful & disfiguring injuries there are & to make people suffer when there is a cure is criminal. :yes:

By any chance does yer Germanesian Amazon has this ... Turtle Fur Chelonia 150 Classic Fleece Double-Layer Neck Warmer (https://amzn.to/3qJrOvx) <= My Amazon Link 'cuz it's purty doog for neck warming :yes: I had one back in the covid wynter daze and yeah way WAY too warm for me :unthumbs: BUT back then was also when Dad was a pint low on hemoglobin and ALWAYS cold so I gave it to him and he could not sleep without it :angel:
"The burn thingy oughta be a crime! :gaah: "
Especially when you realize it was originally developed in the US {Pittsburgh}, it's used eberywhere around the whurled :egg: cept the US srsly even some African hopsicklez has it :gaah:
Used properly it even healz 4th degree burns with next to no scaring. FYI: 4th degree means ALL of the skin and some of the meaty bits below are damaged, so it's healing more than just skin :horror:
In other wurdz some of the most horrific ... often life threatening ... injuries could be healed in a few days to about 2 weeks but aren't because it still has not passed FDA approval even after more than a decade :wall:
Anywho this is why I keep up to date with where stem cell clinics are located just in case 8) Tech :nickel: ly stem cells are not "banned" in the US :nono: There is just an immense amount of stoopid required in order to does the research. For instance there is good evidence that stem cells injected into the :heart: can strengthen weak muskles, fix borked valves etc. or stem cells can also treat damaged nerves like in MS or even optic nerve damage. Basically any areas that needs reinforcing or bio-spackling ... stem cells FTW :thumbs:
The problem is while researching is doable hooman trialz is made egregiously difficult in the US so the testing is done outside the US. Then to bring it back the the US requires FDA trialz :woe:
Anywho in a :stun: shell without the FDA trialz stem cell clinics have "No Proof" of safety and efficacy so are :buttkick: ed To git that proof requires too many hoops, hurdlez and vast quantities of monies :sigh: ... that's the legacy from those who believe ALL stem cells come from aborted fetuses :roll: In any event iffen you need stem cell therapy I recommend Thailand :angel:

In any event it's a cheap{er} knockoff of the Pacojet which I've always wanted :wubsigh: ... just not $6000 worth of wanted :faint: Siguie brand custard ice cream is still better when churned for 15-20 minutes but with the creami I can basically turn anythin into ice cream/sorbet/gelato/italian ice / :whatever: anywho more in the nutrition thread :angel: BUT a personal favourite is siguie brand ice coffee :happydance:

I does not feel flu-ish & has no fever but it could be a strange covid rebound. :huh: Or it could be :earth:
Time will tell. :wiggle:

:hello: Ms. :woo: are you not amembering t'is nigh Summer Solstice time :frantic:
Srsly this Wednesday the 21st ... 7:57am I thinxz :scratch:
About the :norway: :zanna: vertigo thang are ya sure it's not Ménière's disease ? :dunno:
BPPV typically lasts for about a minute :dunno:
Anywho the thang about Meniere's is there's a larger number of vegetarians being diagnosed with it and vit.B1 and B3 {Thiamin and Niacin respectively} have been known to "cure" the issue. The thang is tech :nickel: ly there is no "cure" BUT since non-vegetarians who git the disease are not cured by B1 and B3 and are helped by going herbivore. There's a doog chance Ménière's disease isn't one thang :nono: it's more likely a thang PLUS a deficiency crossover thang.
In other wurdz some peoplez diagnosed with Ménière's disease are really just deficient in B1 and B3 :angel:
I just wanted to throw that out there in case it helps someone :wiggle: You'd be surprised {or not} how many incurable maladies are nutrient deficiencies and or insufficiencies with overlapping symptoms that git misdiagnosed :roll:
For realz :yes: oh and the minions have started referring to me as the wandering health sage/guru :gaah: mostly on account of zero boy :fist: and a couple of thangs I tested on them ... due to a shortage of guinea pigs otherwise willing test subjects :whistle: Srsly it seems like eberyone is on some stoopid diet or transitioning from one level of stoopid to the next one up :woe:
Oh and :horn: tellz J ack i she'll lubz the :ninja: Creami :thumbs: srsly when I made my first batch of Koolaid punch ice cream I thunked of her :yes: Ok tech :nickel: ly it was a sorbet :oz: but it was still delicious :happydance:

:woe: Koolaid punch!
I ain't telling her anything. :no:
She is such a wannabe gadget Queen!
So I just need a good quality B complex once again. :duh:
I can does that.
But my vertigo is caused by ear ffuts... I can feels it in there. Right ear.
And the internet says 'iffin it's not better after 2 weeks then see a doctor'. :chuckle:
It says little pieces of bone break off & lodge where they ain't apposta lodge & that once you gets it you are prone to hasing it again & again.
I cain't believe you been so :ninja: with the minions. They only know a fraction of you, doesn't they? :pie:
The Wandering Health Guru :sigster: :hysterical:
And YES! Solstice! :faint: Yesterday the energies were ringing loudly. :lalala:
We gots heat wave here now for Solstice. Upper 90s for a few days.
It's not so bad this time of year cuz the nights get cool & the daylight is shorter.
It doesn't really get hot til 10AM or so whereas in mid-summer it's :heat: by 6AM
:sparkle: :fall: :sparkle:

I only need the right side of the neck warmed the rest
or I start to feel too hot
anyway the office girl had called in sick the day
with the same neck issue (and she sure eats lots of meat compared to me)
:dunno: but today a coworker stayed home
with "back" issues
my guess it's the sudden
"cold" weather here (and wet wet wet )

"I only need the right side of the neck warmed the rest ..."
Well it's also gonna start chillin ... soon ... but I was mostly wunderin why the doc would say BPPV ? :scratch: Iffen he wanted you to goes away 'cuz there was nuthin oblivious and vertigo is common and generally goes away atleast pick sumthin that makes sense :dunno:
"with the same neck issue (and she sure eats lots of meat compared to me)"
Well it's not a "neck" issue :nono: Ménière's disease is an ear thang including vertigo, tinnitus and hearing issues. Also eating more or less meat doesn't mean sufficient or deficient anythin :nono: EBERY diet has deficiencies and sometimez it's just because a person for whatever reason doesn't absorb a nutrient well :dunno:
Anywho it was really more me just over :brain: ing the BPPV thang I mean srsly why that? :scratch:
"But my vertigo is caused by ear ffuts... I can feels it in there. Right ear."
:woe: Actually "no" more likely YOUR vertigo :zanna: is caused by sumthin in the Eustachian tube which is connected to the nasal cavity and throat. I thinxz of it as chronic durt overload ... srsly Eustachian tube dysfunction dizziness is purty common in durt types :therethere:

Pounded. :yes: My ear (eustacian :p ) ffuts is fine right now but I've had a strange faux flu kinda thing since Saturday night.
It started with really intense chills. :shiver: To the point where my jaw felt locked & breathing was a challenge. :shiver:
And then hot :heat: but no fever ever. :huh:
And then on Sunday :blob: iness. General slo-mo-ness & body aches. But I took Excedrin all day & Tylenol at night & slogged through.
Still with the body aches & general malaise...hot, but no fever. :huh:
I did do a covid test yesterday just becuz...mainly becuz my seester is coming in on Thursday & then she/we gots a big wedding the following week. Anyway it was negative. But iffin I'm still 'off' I'll repeat before sissy comes in. :yes:
I thunk it was :earth: flu. And still kinda does. There was a 7.6 :quake: in Mehico yesterday.

118 :faint:
That's H*LL temps (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/36_1_15.gif) :no:
76°F here :heat:
"...hot, but no fever. :huh: "
:hello: Excedrin & Tylenol contain Acetaminophen ... fever reducer muches :whistle:
Officially ~7.5% of the US peoplez who had covid has looong covid. That's symptoms that persist beyond 4 weeks ... so I thinxz you all are still in post-covid symptom zone :dunno:
Anywho, covid is a strange one :scratch: but "long covid" is more likely in younger patients AND whilwe the CDC wont say it but there might be a trend in low vaccine states or atleast the ones that were sloooow to become vaccinated :yes: BUT it's not clear why that would make a difference :dunno:
"The prevalence of current long COVID symptoms differed between states. The states with the highest percentage of adults who currently have long COVID symptoms were Kentucky (12.7%), Alabama (12.1%), and Tennessee and South Dakota (11.6%). The states with the lowest percentage of adults who currently have long COVID symptoms were Hawaii (4.5%), Maryland (4.7%) and Virginia (5.1%)." CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2022/20220622.htm)
That said for the most part there is not much non-covid flu activity in the US :nono: BUT on the :butt: hemisphere they are having the worst flu season in atleast 5 years :uhoh: So I'm planning on getting Dad & me vaccinated in October :yes:
Like the covid vaccine ... flu shot efficacy also wanes over time so you don't want it too early in case the flu season peaks in February March. However in the :butt: hemisphere it "looks" like it started early and I'm still waiting for data to see iffen the flu vaccine was effective :popcorn:
Ohai you had the covid recently ... it's H*LL type HOT ... AND you went :stun: with Acetaminophen :woe:
"Acetaminophen also alters the renal handling of electrolytes observed by sodium retention, an increase in serum osmolality, hypokalemia and an increase in the urinary excretion of sodium, potassium and phosphate."
Basically yer :electrocute: un :balance: :zanna:
I of course recommend siguie brand lemon barley :electrocute: drink or just siguie brand electrolyte powder :yes: OR ya noes make yer own from common ffuts :yes:
Potassium mw 39.098
KCl 52%
K citrate 38%
KHCO3 39%
Sodium mw 22.990
NaCl 39%
Anywho, ya prolly need the potassium the mostest :yes: Iffen ya say :banana: that's fine but you'll need to eat about 15 :roll:
Oh and Magnesium, Calcium and Phosphorous too :yes:
Then of course :check: Zinc levelz because you burn through it with a cold BUT you would of course want to supplement with Copper as well just not at the same time :oz: Oh and of course B complex for the sickness stresses and additional hydration losses :yes:
Yeah ok wanderin health guru I can kinda seez it :sigh:

:woe:
UN :balance: ed on the Equinox??? :onoes:
It makes sense.
:dangjustdang:
I never hardly take anything other than B12 (when I amembers :ashamed: ).
And I have taken a LOT of acetaminphen in the past couple days. :uhoh:
Like every 4-5 hours. :faint:
It's the strangest becuz within 20 minutes of taking it the pain is gone...but then starting at about 3.5 hours & increasing until 4-5 hours (as long as I can take it) the pain gets worse & worse & worse. Nothing helps...not movement, not rest, not ice...just acetominophen (tho I haven't even tried an nsaid).
But your theory makes sense. :righton: I even told B last night that the pain felt almost like deep cramping.
The thighs are the worst but iffin I hold off on pain relievers long enough it spreads to shins, ankles, feet, spine...retty much everywhere. :sigh:
And it fits as to why my pee smells strong when it really shouldn't oughta be. :faint:
So I took acetominophen at 8:50 & am feeling much better now but I also drank a 16.9 ounce bottle of vapor distilled water with electrolytes & gonna dip some gatorade. I found magnesium (old) & I gots zinc...& copper.
While I got drugs in me I'm gonna go out & get B-complex & potassium, calcium & phosphorus.
So I believe the initial wicked chills was :earth: :quake: related but the pain that remains is me messing up me. :ashamed: :chuckle:
That would esplain the brain fog, too. :yes: Yesterday I bumped another car in the Kroger parking lot. :eek: It was all fine, no damages to either, but it was radically out of character for me. I am a most excellent driver.
Happy :balance: ing :michafire: & :siguie:
Happy :fall:

Yeah thang is acetaminophen should be used for a max of 3 :daisy: when taken for fever 10 for pain BUT that's kinda pushing it and you can start getting liver issues :uhoh:
The (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif) thang is kinda oblivious :whistle:
Also I'd recommend just the electrolytes first THEN werk up to the full B vitaminz OR ... I likes this ffuts ...
Nature's Bounty B Complex with B12 Sublingual Liquid Fast Acting Dietary Supplement, 2 Fl Oz (https://amzn.to/39VuTDV) <= Amazon Link
It's cheap and liquid so you can mix it in siguie brand electrolyte solution :yes: Also YOUSE prolly need more sodium 'cuz yer likely collateral damaged from B's doof. AND as mentioned afores keto dieters need slighly different :electrocute: mineralz.
I aint eber gone into the FULL on siguie brand water thang here :drama: BUT yeah ebery diet is different and what you need will vary. Also keto high protein {paleo} is quite different than herbivorous keto. You need way more liquid to process dense protein AND the sodium / potassium ratio is different.
FYI: with the :egg: ception of hypertension and or CKD I completely disagree with accepted norms for both Sodium and Potassium intake ... purty much the same as for cholesterol vs :heart: disease and that whole statin nonsense :roll:
For active peoplez especially keto {paleo} I believe LMNT got it right link (https://drinklmnt.com/pages/ingredients) with way more salt {sodium} :yes:
For eberyone else I'd recommend Liquid I.V. (https://www.liquid-iv.com/) :yes:
Neither of those are Amazon links :nono: but both are available on Amazon :yes: they are just stoopid :egg: pensive for a teaspoon of salt :woe:
Anywho, YOUSE prolly need more Sodium and Potassium ... which by the way is easy :peas: y iffen you has faux salt for cooking :oz:
Oh YOUSE should also take some milk thistle for the silymarin :yes:

We gets plenty of sodium. :yes: I initially began cooking without it & then :b: didn't like anything that was cooked. :rofl:
Anyway...I am not as heavy-handed as before but we still gets lots of sodium. :yes:
And no, I doesn't use faux salt. :nonono:
I have not used tylenol for 10 days. :nonono: Not even 3 days. :nonono: Just a LOT over the past 2 days.
And it seems the more I take the more I need. :crazyeyes:
Like right now, the pain is coming back but it's quite tolerable... a 3/10. It's been 3 1/2 hours since I last took anything.
I am not planning on taking any more...assuming I can bear it.
I already went to town...gotted a good B complex & potassium cuz I cain't eat that many :banana: s. :p
And I made powdered gatorade cuz...well...I had it on hand. :wiggle:
My body is seriously un- :balance: for sure but I dunno if it's all acetaminophen's fault. :gle:
The tilt occurred with the wicked chills on Saturday night.
And yes, I noes not to check a temperature when one has fever reducers in them. :woe:
I gots no fever. :nonono: But my 'temperature regulator' is definitely out of whack.
:thanks: for the links. :righton: And the tips. :don'teatyellowsnow:

Yeah thing is with a Paleo diet especially with muskle building you not only need more liquid but vastly more sodium.
For nermal peoplez,you don't want a fixed quantity of sodium but rather a sodium to potassium ratio of 1:3 . With CVD you want to listen to the doc especially if a medication side effect tweaks serum potassium or calcium levels.
Thang is hoomanz RDA is 4.7g of K per day that's a minimum. Historically hoomanz evolved eating between 11 and 15g per day. In other wurdz there is a lot of :wiggle: room. :angel:
Oh and keep in mind potassium is what's used to kill prisoners so there are some caveats when supplementing :whistle:
As for acetaminophen ... taking a temp is fine, iffen you has one ya just noes it would be higher. As for liver damage ... that's the thang there's really no way to noes when it will become serious for any individual. Some peoplez git problemz afores others at what point does it become irreparable also depends :dunno:
I has eberythang :yes: but only take aspirin iffen neededc and that's like once ebery 5 years or so :dunno: For the most part I only take CS and some version of siguie brand water or soup for flu like symptoms iffen any :angel:
Oh and to be clear ... mostly ... I figured ya needed more salt :dunno: though eberythang else is doog too :yes:

I think I needed sugar. :huh:
For reals. Usually Gatorade is too sweet for me & I rarely drink it but yesterday it felt/tasted good. :yes:
And then I needed to make jello. :huh: More sugar. :faint:
So I stopped taking the tylenol & got into an extreme pain situation. :scared:
The main thing for me was to realize that the pain was/is actually cramping, just in a different form than the typical Charlie Horse.
Sadly, longer lasting & just as intense.
Finally around 6PM & after soaking in the tub & stretching on my mat with minimal relief, I took Aleve.
Anyway...whilst I was being one with the pain :om: I realized that this has been coming for a long, long time.
As in I am predisposed to imbalance. :chuckle: :asilly:
For years, literally, there are times on the yoga mat when I cannot get into child's pose, as well as other similar movements, without the tops of my feet & ankles cramping. Sometimes I can stretch it out, & sometimes not.
I used it as a barometer, of sorts, of how much I needed to be on the mat.
And I was so 'out of order' yesterday that I thunk the Equinox was yesterday. :nonono:
It is today. :sparkle: Exact at 8ish PM :elvis: time.
I think I'ze on the mend. :wiggle: And maybe the wicked chills set this all in motion. :dunno: As in every muscle in my body was contracted when I was frozen.
B was so very worried about me. :wub: I kept telling him it felt like an upgrade, albeit painful. :laugh:
I mean, when muscles are engaged they are working & most of mine have been engaged nearly 24/7 for the past 4 days. :shera:
Another biggie :quake: in Mehico this morning. :gheart:

You sounds borked :console:
Magnesium is the typically deficient nutrient that causes tight muskles only it's nearly impossible to be deficient on a plant based diet ... ok sure it's possible but you really really has to work at it :dunno:
More likely yer low on creatine :yes: and possibly phosphorous :dunno: The body stores phosphocreatine in muskles for POWER :electrocute: :flex:
Srsly part of the loss in muskle bulk by going from omnivore to herbivore is the no phosphocreatine :therethere: It sounds a little like you ran out of fuel BUT honestly it should only take a day or two to clear out the lactic acid buildup in muskles after an over strenuous endeavor :dunno:
Thang is you really shouldn't be taking anythin for :egg: sercise muskle relief that's more a sauna, rest and lotsa fluid kinda thang. Perchance a nice sweedish muskle massage for :egg: treme cases :dunno:
Anywho muskle weakness is a hyperthyroid thang ... though I'm purty sure "cramping" is rare so are plant based dieters with Grave's Disease so :dunno:
That said muscle cramping is also a Zinc deficiency thang :whistle: BUT honestly sugary salty gatorade is yer best bet for a quick fix ... it really does make the most sense being an :electrocute: issue :yes:
Though I really do think that Liquid I.V. ffuts is way better than Gatorade :roll: and of course nuthin beats siguie brand lemon barley :electrocute: water :flex:
Oh and you should lookup "heat cramps" ... it's basically an :electrocute: im :balance: thang with :flex:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist:
:gaah: Apparently 1 in the whurled of kemystery Thursdaisies are the two steps back day :pullhair: we could has so much more done iffen there were only fewer Thursdaisies in the week :gaah: :wall:
:horn: :asiel: has you done anythin with the soy :bean: s ? :wiggle:
Anywho, I has the SoyaJoy G5 and purty clearly decided Soy milk kinda :suck: s :unthumbs:
SO ... :whatever: Plan B is werken out surprisingly edible :angel:
Anywho iffen you look at faux meat ingredients they is generally a combination of various proteins and TVP is mostly just soy flour. Anywho, I've :bean: playing with making siguie brand TVP + :cow: :angel:
The SoyaJoy makes the soy part and then I just add :peas: protein isolate to thicken the ffuts up even more. I can then spread it onto baking sheets and turn into siguie brand TVP :thumbs:
Thang is I find adding a little gelatin, salt and powdered chicken broth, then spreading it thin in my instant pot for steaming is faster. Also you can fold the "skin" up producing layers which werks much better at producing flaky parts like for faux salmon :yes:
The neat part is it surprisingly fries up doog like real chicken. :oz:
Oh and some chickpeas in with the soybeans makes an over all more chickenny faux meat.
I was mostly just playing BUT I'm 97.3% sure I can make sumthin that would atleast pass for being chicken in a nugget ... I noes that's not the furthest reaching quality level BUT I bare;y even had to try :matt:
So anythin with yer soybeans? :share:

:hysterical: Nah, I gots a 5lb bag in waiting. :chuckle:
TVP with gelatin & chicken broth. :rofl:
As for me... I feel more in :balance: No cramping all day yesterday tho I did feel one leg 'trying' (failing :p ) to cramp during the night. Changing position stopped it.
I thinks it was a covid :slu: And a :buttkick: for me to take better care of me. :ashamed:
It was not from overwork nor overuse nor over thyroidism. The #1 anti-Graves clue is that I was cold, except for the brief hot flashes, wheras hyperthyroidism makes me very hot. That was the best part the year I gotted sick... it was a record cold spell & I never felt cold at all. :faint:
I drove the bus (Mom's van) to Nashville & back in crazy heavy traffic (relatively speaking tho the airport was so busy the cell phone waiting lot was overflowing) & all was fine. Iffin Graves was flared that woulda made me anxious. :uhoh:
Thankfully... :thanks: :earth: Today feels considerably lighter... On the other side of the Equinox. :sparkle:
And in the more dark than light time of year. :hail: :sun:

"TVP with gelatin & chicken broth. :rofl: "
I'm not a vegitationist :dunno: I was trying to make Frank 'n Chicken :sigster: :chuckle: :rimshot:
Iffen I git it right I can just replace the gelatin with glycine and the broth with vegetable liquid and it would be vegan friendly :oz:
Besides it seems like a waste to make completely unflavoured TVP ... besides making Frank 'n Chicken {FnC} is faster than dehydrating a block of soybean/chickpea/pea isolate :wiggle:
Though I has been considering getting a doog dehydrator :yes: I lubs siguie brand dehydrated caramelized onions :liplick: AND I was thinking about making my own siguie brand kale powder :superman:
As for yer thyroid ... not feeling cold isn't by itself a diagnostic symptom :nono: ... the one that made me thinxz it possible was yer not sleeping well :console: The other major symptom is SUDDEN unasplained weight loss ... though right now not hard to asplain :nono: ... oh and also wacky :heart: beat there's one to watch out for :yes: Fer realz you and B should really has smatewatches with :heart: rate monitoring :roll:
Anywho, next time your at the grocery store spend the ~$2 and git a little shaker of "Nu Salt" or "No Salt" or whatever they call faux salt in tanassi :yes: Just not the half 'n half ffuts :nono: ya want plain potassium chloride :yes:
This is Absolutely NOT for B :nonono: but yer tap/well water is startlingly close to distilled :faint:
Anywho fill a 1 litre bottle with well/tap water and add ~9g of table salt ... {1tsp ~ 6g} so about 1.5tsp. Now add about 1/4 that amount of the KCl. Shake to dissolve ... give it a minute :whistle:
Give it a taste :liplick: it should has slight salt taste BUT not overly :yucky: This should be roughly 140 miliequivalents of sodium as in what normal :blood: should has :suck: Potassium should normally hang in the cells so there is also :egg: cess potassium :oz:
THIS is now a simple basis for an electrolyte :electrocute: drink. K tech :nickel: ly for heavy sweating you'd want more sodium BUT this is an amount that wont deplete what you got :nono: Iffen ya noes what you is doesingyou can also add a little Magnesium, Calcium and pHosphate to make it betterer BUT it is not needed for most peoplez :nono:
To make it more palatable you can add some lemon/lime juice and some sucrose for NRGeez :flex: maple syrup or black strap molasses is common too then chill it in the fridge until needed :angel:
Here's the thang, you likes yer well water BUT it's woefully low in :electrocute: ... most timez it's not a problem because you eat doof with salt that replenishes yer :electrocute: BUT when you werks hard :flex: or git sick, has GI issues :whistle: or anythin similarly stressful you lose salt.
Anywho, I makes siguie brand water 'cuz I noes I feelz better drinking it :angel: Yer durty water may has similar benefits or not :oz: as in all thangs doof YMMV :angel:

BUT the one I wanted was on sale at woot :gaah: so I gotted it :ashamed:
AND Yup werks doog :yes: AND surprisingly quiet :yes:
Anywho it will be doog to be able to make siguie brand spices from scratch agin like siguie brand ginger powder and siguie brand garlic salt ... oh and of course granulated garlic and powders :bliss:

Srsly though this is very very cool :happydance:
NASA should noes :egg: actly what will happen since it's simple kinematics. Assuming the targeting system delivers a direct hit the big question is gonna be how much NRGeez gits delivered to the target and how evenly dense and structurally sound is the thang :popcorn: Basically how much energy is turned into a vector change vs damaging the structure :boom:
:share:
In other newses ...
After dehydrating there aint much in a bag of kale :sigh: BUT one bag of Trader Joe's shredded kale {10oz} is only $2 {I neber purchase the organic :carp: :unthumbs: } and provides a nitric oxide :bump: for atleast a week :thumbs:
Tech :nickel: ly 1 serving is 67g which means 10oz is roughly Four servings and each serving appears to :bump: NO levelz for ~3 days so that should mean nearly 2 weeks of NO :bump: age. The problem of course is the ffuts :carp: s out after about 5 days and turns black :yucky:
Anywho, I licks the idea of dehydrating half a bag each time. That way it gits used up afores it goes bad AND I don't need to eat that much kale each time nor ferment it :nono: Though to be fair kale does surprisingly well in siguie brand kimchi :thumbs: along with napa cabbage and carrots :yes:
In other other newses ... siguie brand mostly dried tofu is purty freaken doog :thumbs:
The biggest issue with tofu is getting any flavour to permeate the tofu requires psientistical tricks like vacuum pressure changes and osmotic liquid movements :gaah: BUT dry it out ~70% then throw it in som liquid flavour and it soaks it up like a sponge :happydance: then smoke the ffuts with oak wood and it is mildly Fantastic :happydance:
I still has some in the fridge back home ... I thinxz some noodly soup and or perchance a stir fry is on the agenda :hmm2:

:therethere: kinda hoping you was doesing some last chance durt :bliss: thang afores :rain:
Looks like tanassi is engulfed in Influenza A (H3) or atleast that's the only thang being reported :dunno: you tanassians really don't like reporting flu ffuts :dunno:
Anywho, it is the current Big Bad going around ... yeah type A generally has a harder take down :boom: compared to B so feeling drained is gonna be a thang for a while ... typically a week or two :therethere:
Elevated :heart: rate is normal :yes: yer bp isn't really a thang :nono: Just amemberz 220 ... that's the maximum bp for werkouts :flex: BUT also subtract yer age from that number and that's yer max doog :heart: rate.
Anywho assuming temp and SpO2 is more or less normal yer prolly gonna make it :yes: and yes srsly messed up :horror: and the cold doesn't help none neether :nono:
:flyball:
Oh ya noes type A influenza is the one you really want to drink tons of CS for and :suck: on them Zinc lozenges :angel: ... fer realz :yes: They Do NOT really "cure" the thang BUT dramatically reduce the active viral load so yer body doesn't feel as bad AND has an easier time doesing cleanup :angel:
By the way this brings us full :donut: back to :electrocute: salts ... thang is when you is sick you generally needs more fluids AND :electrocute: salts ... in particular this can effect yer bp :yes:
There's also sumthin in the :brain: called NST Neurons and they register levels of angiotensin it's kinda the thang the body uses to decide iffen ya needs to try and prevent salt loss which is involved in that bp :bump: thang. The thang is the neurons that react to blood sugar levels and are responsible for "sweet cravings" they ALSO react to salt ... or vice versa :scratch: it's been a whilez since I reformulated siguie brand water :oz:
Anywho it's kinda convoluted BUT often timez when people are craving "sweets" they are actually craving salt ... not a hunert percent of the time BUT it is a thang :yes: The thang is potassium is partly responsible for the bodies antinatriuretic effect ... which is how yer body holds onto sodium ... AND people low on potassium release less insulin.
The point ... bp is related to the sodium potassium ratio AND the potassium levels are interrelated with blood sugar levelz. In other wurdz don't drink gatorade when yer sick 'cuz too much sugar :buttkick: Also thinxz about proper hydration which includes potassium :angel:
Fer realz yer drinking water is too close to distilled so yer losing more salts than most AND that's not even :blah: :blah: ing about sweating in the hellish :heat: Oh and this is for you and J ack i only 'cuz :heart: meds mess with calcium and potassium levelz sumthin fierce so :b: is on his own :whistle:

Dang team durt takes another hit :horror:
On the plus side they shoulda run a CBC plus a urinalysis along with a pathogen susceptibility :thumbs: So you should has a doog bit of :egg: tra info to play with :thumbs:
White blood cells wil obliviously be high but a hemoglobin and ferritin numbers will be useful :thumbs: Also a CBC should give you thyroid hormone levelz :thumbs:
Yeah it's gonna suck :thumbs: a flu woulda been way betterer :therethere: you signed up for way WAY too much :drama:
:offtobed: with you :buttkick: and come back healthy :fist:
This is gonna smack :slap: of I-told-you-so -isming BUT this is one of the places where High doses of colloidal silver really shines :yes: Also like 75% of the time it's an e.coli varietal against which colloidal silver is particularly effective :yes: The excretion method ... (https://www.psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif) ... is actually a bonus :thumbs: As long as their is no kidney damage 'cuz then maybe not CS :nonono:

:yawn: :coffee: :slowday:
Less eventful than usual BUT dang you Thursdazed :fist:
In other newses ...
82°F :heat:
Oh and werken on a plant based ninja creami doof like item :cheer:
For a 16oz {creami batch} 45g oatmeal powdered plus 3 scoops cocoa {~15g}, pinch of salt and cayenne, Vanilla {~dash} and the sugar mix ... mostly erythritol because it generates a doog ice cream texture but I also like allulose. Anywho it's getting there :yes: Erythritol with Xylitol is betterer and is the best teeth choice (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) but allulose has insulin benefits and is 70% as sweet as sugar ... the same as erythritol which makes calculations easier. I was trying to avoid adding xantham gum or what not which is why I wanted the powdered oats left in :angel:
Anywho so far it's not "bad" but Häagen-Dazs wont be worrying about competition anytime soon :sigh: On the plus side a :banana: chocolate ice cream sweetened with dates and using powdered oatmeal is purty darn tasty ... just not a classic "chocolate ice cream" flavour :nono:
Anywho psyence is nuf delicious :bliss:

Quote from: SpaceweatherA BIG DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: One of the biggest sunspots in years has just rotated over the sun's northeastern limb. AR3112 has a mixed-polarity magnetic field that harbors energy for strong X-class solar flares. The appearance of this dangerous sunspot could herald two weeks of high solar activity as it transits the Earth-facing side of the sun. Full story @ Spaceweather.com
That's 2 weeks of :sunhug: :boom: potential :no:

So sorry so sorry. :hugs: Been telepathing but my telepathics have been out there. :spiral:
I've been born again...rwice. Or abducted. :sparkle:
The sickest I've ever been.
Today in the ER (2nd time in a week) after giving me a much appreciated unit of IV fluid they said my current lethargy isside effectsfrom the heavy doses of antibiotics combined with lack of nutrition (I've lost 10-15 pounds in a weekish).
I know you gots questions, :sigster: but it takes way more energy than is typical to type even this much.
They predict 3-4 days before moderately normal.
Just wanted to say :hi: and I think I'm alive? :rofl: :splat:

Three to four daze is basic UTI bladder level infection ~7 :daisy: s and yer in renal country ... which is kinda skeery bad (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif)
Being flattened by strong :flex: antibiotics is a thang but mostly it's a thang that happens when the antibiotic :guns: destroys the infecting :blob: ... it's often referred to as a Herxheimer Reaction ... tech :nickel: ky it's not since the Jarisch Herxheimer Reaction refers to treatment of spirochete infection but it's generally regarded as a similar response :oz:
Anywho I was a tad concerned considering you went herbivorous, which also means you had next to zero resources in reserve :no: Oh and go chug some Zinc :yes: Not to mention yer plant choices may have left you with XS oxalic axid ... which means kidney stones, plus infection and basically not doog timez :nono:

Every day's been Thurzdaze to me. :crazyeyes:
I lost a week...at least. My mental program simply checked out while my body did whatever it did. Don't ask me, I don't remember. :rofl:
For reals...22+ hours in bed a day for days on end. That ended & gave way to horrible nausea, vomiting, weakness & fatigue.
( :secret: the sleep was better)
And the strangest thing??? Not one time did I ever have a typical UTI symptom. No burning, no frequent urination, no nothing. :faint:
And now...
my biome is trashed. :bawling: And my energy level is at about 40%.
I lost 15 pounds in 10 days. :faint: Back to pre-menopause weight. :cheer: But I wouldn't ever ever ever do it like this again if I had a choice!
I'm eating toddler amounts several times a day & really trying hard to repopulate with good ffuts. Tiny bits of kimchi every day, a 45 billion pre/pro-biotic, an awesome fresh Ohio apple (brought back from wedding) nearly every day, Initially B bought me yogurt & Boost on the advice of the ER but quickly my body said :no: you don't eat dairy, amember?
Interesting thing is everything, including the saltine in my mouth right now, tastes so much more. More for good or bad.
I didn't open my notebook for 10+ days, didn't open an email, didn't go outside! :faint:
Now I am slowly rejoining the living. :sigster:

Wow. Good fortune to get it at least temporarily fixed same day. :hi5:
:michafire: I sure :wish: I had some mystical or prophetic or spiritual messages that I received whilst 'out of order', but there was NOTHING. :huh: Not a peaceful, blissful, nothing :om: but truly a void...quite strange. And NO dream recollection for the first few days. It was as if I was totally 'offline'. :huh:
Then...as I gradually came back online it was defrag...snippets from my whole life, including childhood, that seemed to just 'move through'.
The strangest (& ugliest) experience I ever went through.
I'd say I'm up to 65% today. :happydance:
And then solar flares & volcanoes as well. :aaahhh:

Oh & get this... sometime while I was :missing: our AC compressor quit. :candle: Dead, gone, quit.
It's amazing it lasted this long cuz it was 17 years old & too small for the house to begin with.
But it was doog timing in that we gots the winter to figger out what to does.
NOT gonna spend 7K on another inefficient system. :nonono: (that's how much Mom's was)
So sig....how I get my mojo back? :sigh:
I am still way too tired, still dealing with nausea on occasion, still driew, intermittant leg pain (it comes & goes :huh: Like a :ghost: )
Being mindful of every bite of doof (just had another delicious fresh Ohio apple) & taking handfuls of B complex, C & just began upping the spirulina to every time I walk by. :chuckle:
LOTS of water, back to enjoying green tea, NO :wine: Sleeping 10-11 hours each night with NO naps. :cheer: That's an improvement. :crazyeyes:

Six glass mirrors that are one square feetz each.

Oh I KNOW I was out of :balance: before this knocked me down. :yes:
It was the Esselstyn diet. I lamented many many many a time about how we needed something, about how we never felt full or satisfied, And already we'd begun adding bits of walnuts, avocado & miniscule amounts of olive oil.
B said recently he'd rather take a statin (he's every other daying now) every day than feel tired, weak & hungry.
I mean, sometimes I daydream about a single bite of cheese. :drool: Doog cheese, not processed cheese-doof. :p
Last night we had a salad with red onion, walnuts & berries & I says, "Oh how much better this would be with just a crumble of feta or 2...or even a bit of bleu". :sigh:
And yesterday we had Mexican lunch with Mom & Za & I ordered the huevos rancheros. :yes: :happydance:
So we are now still whole food plant-based, mostly vegan (we had salmon the other night cuz I needed it :p ), mostly oil-free & limited nuts (almonds, walnuts only). It's the best we can do. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
I AM improving. :cheer: Every day seems better than the one before unless I overdo. :ashamed:

K last numberz I recall where his cholesterol was below the target and the only reason for continuing the statin was for triglycerides :woe:
And to be clear oils including coconut and olive "contain" Zero cholesterol ... so the Dr.E "No Oil" thang has nuthin to does with cholesterol :nono:
Anywho you should does what werks for you :yes: and yes the Dr.E's diet is not what most people can handle :nono: it's really more about reversing :heart: disease so iffen yer not dying from some cardiovascular issue there are plenty of "healthy" doof to choose from :yes: I look at the whole thang like diabetes ... iffen yer diabetic then yes you need to be very careful in regards to carbs and especially sugar BUT iffen yer not diabetic then yup little to no care is fine :bliss:
Anywho for most peoplez the post illness recovery is about gitting electrolytes :balanced: prelenishing used supplies THEN getting the musklez mooving to git blood flowing andclean the pipes while oxygenating them thangs needing oxygenating :wiggle: Srsly that's yet another reason to has an oxygen concentrator :bliss:

On Saturday we are going for lunch at Hana...a new-to-Jackson "fast casual" Asian restaurant with sushi & poke bowls. :happydance:
And the piece de resistance... a dozen decadent cookies from Crumbl Cookies. :rofl:
There is a 'fast casual' Mexican restaurant we frequent cuz it really is the best called Tulum & the cookie place is next door.
And every time we eat at Tulum we watch the lines...throngs, at times...of people going into the Crumbl Cookie store & coming out with pretty pink boxes. I told Jack waaaay back when that we'd get a dozen for her birthday.
And then...she wants to go to Old Navy for thermal knit pjs. :hysterical: She's only got a dozen or so pairs of PJs. :rofl:

Unfortunately my :sun: power is going down fast :no: just 16kW per day :sigh: and 2 more months until Wynter Solsticing :uhoh:
Soon ... atleast in theory ... I should be able to setup my carbon heating :egg: periments :bliss:
I already noes a bunch of peoplez are planning to NOT heat their homes this year as a symbol of solidarity with Ukraine and the UK :thumbs: Though I'm purty sure they was talking gas heating :whistle: This is KalipHorniyaz I thinxz we really only need gas heat about once in 20 years :dunno:
Anywho I asplained a few thangs to someone about heating with wood stoves and they went and gotted one :happydance: they tried it out and had to open the windows to cool the place at night :hysterical: well it is KalipHorniya :roll:

So...ya know...this woulda been Jacki's 3rd week of PT except she is not going.
Her pain is so much worse. :sigh:
And tomorrow we go back to the ortho where I figger they will order an MRI. (that was stated at the first visit)
But after that... I am looking into stem cell therapy in Jackson. :sparkle:
We'll hafta pay for it. But there's no amount of money too much to see your baby out of pain. :shera:
And... I am certain that stem cell therapy in Jackson is way much cheaper than in San Fran :p or NY or wherever.
This is all I got on cost, from google, so far:
Stem cell therapy can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $6,000 for a single injection. Some patients may require multiple injections which may increase the cost of the treatment to $25,000 or more.
I'm focusing on the low end. :wiggle:

Mmmmm sponge cookie ... yum :whistle:
Dang :darn: I was really hoping J ack i would just improve with PT ... though it could also be the low :cow: diet slowing recovery :hmm2:
I would neber try to disuade from stem cell therapy :wubsigh: but don't fergetz there's also PRP and a bazillion other thangs that are generally tried affores resorting to stem cells. Srsly even shoulder replacement surgeries while pricey end up cheaper than stem celling when you add in the insurance portion ... like medicare can cover most of it :yes:

Bluehost is always messin sumthin up :fist: but it looks like the server was mostly doesing doog yesterday :scratch: Fer the most part the internet rtraffic report is eberyplace has been doog 'cept UK ... two major down servers and a third limping along. Best guess is the limping server was spewing data and not connecting well and you was routed through the UK :therethere:
:welcome: backs though and :thanks: for making it back ... bout time :tapfoot:
:flyball:
As for J ack i the big thing will be to differentiate the arthrits from bone/tendon damage :hmm2:
Yeah surgeries are always a coin toss BUT iffen there's no serious bone or cartilage damage then sumthin like PRP is a cheaper gentler way of just fixing the ouchy bits. The main thang about stem cellage is when it werks it's AWESOME :happydance: but when it don't it's a lot of monies :faint: AND no benefits :sigh:

IF surgery was an option (which it's not unless it's life-saving) the replaced shoulder lasts 10 years...15 max.
That means at 36 years of age she could conceiveably hafta have it re-replaced and re-replaced. a total of 3 or 4 surgeries depending on lotsa ffuts. :no:
First things first tho. :wig: :gle:

Surgery is always an option ... like failure :yes: ... just they are best avoided when possible.
As for the replacements durability ... sorta ... yes a standard replacement is quoted as lasting ~15 years but it really depends on the person using them AND while additional surgeries are required to replace worn parts ... it's not the same :horror: show like the first one :nono: Depending on the implant the worn bits "can" be replaced like old tires :angel:
Anywho there are still other options including light thereapy PRP, etc. ... I was just kinda hoping PT would solve ffuts :sigh:

PRP :yes: I found a doctor in Jackson who does that.
:huh: Where was I yesterday? :huh: :asilly: :hysterical:
Oh yeah... I was busy with phone calls & MRI registration ffuts & ffutses.
I did go to a 90 minute "Heart Masterclass" online that was presented by a holistic cardiologist.
It was a 101 level class. :sigh: But I could surf the web while it was going on. :chuckle: Just like high school. :yes:

:gaah:
got the new router -
works fine
but where the PC sits we need a repeater
I had it installed before
NOW I need to reconfigure it for the new router
and this is where the :gaah: comes in to play
as soon as I turn on the reconfigured repeater
the internet is offline
already did a factory reset for it
but trying to get the right static IP
(IP, subnet, standard gateway; no proxy, no DHCP)
to log in to the repeater
and then configure it right
with all the stuff
(MAC address of the router is the part I think that's making the problem)
might as well buy a new repeater and start from scratch/automatic install
:yucky:
or position the PC somewhere it has better connection

The MAC address is the way to goes :yes: back when IPv4 was standard static IP's were easy enough and DHCP werked reliably. Unfortunately we now use IPv6 ... mostly ... and not all interweb thangs play well {or noes IPv6 even new ffuts :gaah: } and the DHCP often does the hiccup PLUS there's the whole 5 GHz band for bestest speed at close range and 2.4 GHz for far off devices and yer repeater needs to noes the optimal choice for it assuming it is not too old and unerstanz 5 GHz :drama:
Anywho :welcome: to my whurled :happydance: did I mention there's :pizza: :oz:
Use yer pHone or tablet to measure the signal strength at yer PC site then goes and try turning the router pHyzically by about 30 degrees at a time then going back to :check: the pHone/tablet. The router is almost certainly omni directional but some directions are better than others and that includes some wiggly antennae tweaking :wiggle:
We has :quake: s here so my house has a steel frame PLUS super metalated insulation I unerstanz signal and repeater issues :wall: Have I mentioned siguie brand reflectors? :wiggle:

" We all seem to need just a little more fat tho ..."
Yeah but that's the thang that freaks me out :scared: ... but it's ok iffen youses is fine with it :nono: ... as near as I can tell {aka from what you've posted} B's issues most likely stem from an inflammatory response to oil :dunno: ... and ... and ... I'll post it over in the nutrition thread or maybe the Dr.E thread :scratch:
Anywho I "thinxz " you is messing up between the psience and actual reality :therethere: ... specifically in regards to Olive Oil :yes:
Here are two Forbes articles ... Forbes is one of the magazines where authors actually :check: and validate their sources :whistle:
K so here's a quick synopsis of ffuts I've mentioned but don't think stuck in that :rbrain: of yers :whistle: ... "oil" causes inflammation in particular the micro vascular bits as well as "turn Off" endolthelial nitric oxide production. Thang is some oils cause more issues than others. Olive Oil is one of the outliers BUT literature results are mixed ... the main reason ... as far as I can tell ... is because the doog part is the UNsaponafiables AND most olive oil ~80% is :carp:
:horn: You CANNOT buy cheap doog :egg: tra virgin olive oil ... also you really shouldn't be cooking with the doog ffuts but that's a culinary thang :drama:
Yer BEST :boom: per $ is california ranch olive oil (https://amzn.to/3Do5InY) <= Amazon Link
Iffen yer new to the whurled of REAL olive oil flavour then I recommend ... California Olive Ranch, California Reserve Collection, Olive Oil (Arbequina, Pack of 1) (https://amzn.to/3Fsy03x) <= Amazon Link.
The Arbequina is a light fruity oil that most people would enjoy though I do prefer the Miller's Blend :yes:
The International Blend is cheaper but has no real flavour and you can git their standard oil at places like Whole Doofs for $10 to $12 for 500ml which is ~16.9oz.
Also doog olive oil should be used up within 60 days preferably ~30 :yes:
The components that prevent olive oil from going rancid are the same ones that help your endothelialz not be harmed by the oily bits. In other wurdz "old" oil has less because it's been used up preventing the oil from becoming oxidized :oz:
Also it's NOT the "oil" that helps the endothelials it's the pHenolic and antioxidant components, this is why :egg: tra virgin is NOT necessarily better for you ... though it implies no heating and no kemikill :egg: tracting so a bit of a :balance: That said Olive Leaf Extract :thumbs: and coinkadinkilly Link (https://www.psifly.com/siguie/tested/generate.pgz?pick=3:0:0-homemade_olive_leaf_extract) 8)
Also in general I "believe" B and anyone with cardiovascular issues should be taking powdered psyllium husks :yes: take with or before a meal the husks bind to oil ... efectively preventing it from being digested and causing issues AND it makes you feelz full :angel:
I likes a mix of powdered psyllium husks and wheat dextrin for that combination of soluble and insoluble fiber thang :wiggle:

I think it's a bit of a leap to say his issues stemmed from an inflammatory reaction to oil. :yes:
They were all over the place. :wine: NO :wine: Doof & NO doof Physical activity NO physical activity.
He's had fast doof (he & Jacki ate McD's twice when I was bad sick!) He had (fried) :carp: & :fries: cuz I guess he thunk it healthier than a :burger: :dunno:
And yes, I noes the olive oil thingy (the fakeness part) & I buys Callyfornya but I really has no use for finishing oil cuz we don't eat like that. :p
What I need is the best (least harmful) cooking oil where I can use the teensiest amount possible just for crisping or browning or non-sticking.
Seriously, I have used 1/4 tsp in a skillet (smearing it around with fingers) and yes, I measure. No more free pours. :sigh:
And that teeny amount makes a massive difference.
Seriously, I have used maybe a tablespoon of oil in the past month. No more.
Where we are non-compliant most is in adding the avocado, walnuts & almond, but still....measured amounts. :yes:
And in snack doof. :frito:
That is a negotiated point from when B says, "You gotta give me somethin" as he was about to throw in the towel.
Mostly crackers, always whole grain. Pretzels with mustard. But every single one of them has at least a teeny bit of oil. Usually canola. I read & read & read ingredients. Always looking for the 'best bad'. :chuckle:
But elsewise, as in every meal (red beans & rice last night) & subsequent leftovers (his lunches) is 100% Esselstyn Seal of Approval.
Sig...he's settled around 180 (6'4") & he's all bones. :skeleton: If psyllium makes him feel fuller faster then no thank you.
I am constantly telling him he gotta eat more. :yes:
But... Dean Ornish has been reversing blockages for 30+ years whilst still allowing for 10% of calories from fat & no more than 10mg dietary cholesterol
QuoteRooted in Science
What makes his program stand out from the onslaught of ubiquitous diet books is that Ornish supports his advice with hard-won science; his research is published in leading medical journals. "For the past 31 years, I've conducted a series of studies that were able to prove for the first time that the progression of even severe heart disease often can begin to reverse when people make comprehensive changes in diet and lifestyle. At the time that we began doing this work, that was thought [to be] impossible," he says.
Ornish gives a snapshot of his scientific findings on the lifestyle program, starting with a pilot study of 10 patients in 1977 showing that his program made an improvement in blood flow to the heart in only one month. In 1983, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a randomized, controlled trial that showed the heart's ability to pump blood improves significantly in only one month. The first randomized trial that demonstrated even severe coronary artery blockages could reverse in only one year was published in The Lancet in 1990. Five-year findings were published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998, indicating that there was even more reversal after five years than after one year. Ornish reports that the five-year results showed an average improvement to the heart of more than 300% and 2.5 times fewer cardiac events.
https://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/td_020909p48.shtml#:~:text=Ornish's%20nutritional%20guidelines%20for%20reversing,tea%3B%20consuming%20sugar%2C%20sodium%2C
He allows non-fat dairy, :egg: whites & fatty :carp:
As well as olive oil, avodado & limited seeds & nuts.
Just sayin...there is evidence of peoples reversing blockages with less strict regimins.
:eggface: is where I am stuck now. Most guidelines say up to 6 per week for cardiac patients. They say that :egg: can even raise HDL which is B's cholesterol achilles. And then the others say :no: as tho :egg: were the :evil: himself.

The ornish diet is fine :yes: iffen B is off his meds and doesing well plus healing the blockage then :beerme:
However, psientistically as mentioned afores Ornish results are vastly below Dr.E's results :whistle: ... fer realz especially the recurring :heart: issue. Also the reversing heart blockage in a year ... pretty sure that was the 30-sumthin special case ... over the age of fiddy ... I don't recall seein any "full" reversals BUT I didn't look that careful :dunno:
Didja actually read the psyencing bits? 'cuz as I recall mostly it's about cholesterol lowering which is a stoopid indicator of :heart: health :woe:
Srsly though iffen B is actally healthying up then doog boj :thumbs: just be sure to validate it with test results and not some :woo: feelin doog assesment :roll:

They werk equally as well up/down the z-axis as any other :dunno:
The problem is the antenna are generally claimed to be omnidirectional but generally favour radial output so when you has more than one antenna you want to put them on a cant so the :vibes: go up down and eberywhere :yes:
Iffen yer router isn't in the center of yer home ... like mine ... you can use reflectors against the wall to redirect signals to where they might be weak :angel:
Anywho, iffen yer signal is just weak at the PC location put yer pHone on a USB cable and plug it into the PC {turn off data use} then use the pHone as a moveable wifi adapter. There may be a location within a few feetz where there is a strong signal. In this case you can just git a wifi dongle instead of a repeater OR pull the wifi antenna from an old laptop and use that ... some soldering desoldering required :electrocute:
In other newses ...we has :rain: :faint: ... not a lot BUT it is wet :bliss:

Also iffen her posture has changed due to weight loss this may be a transitional moment as in it's gonna hurt for a while until her body redoes a few thangs :therethere: Otherwise Great newses :thumbs: Also gives her some fishies or omega 3 oil ffuts like krill oil :yes:

The first doc was not a doc. :nonono: He was a nurse practitioner.
That is the main problem around here....
We have few doctors. :sigh:
And most of the offices operate with NO doctor in house.
Yesterday we saw the REAL orthopedist. :cheer: We've been there 3 times now & saw the nurse practitioner the first 2 times... :sigh: The practitioner gave Jacki samples of Pennsaid...a topical nsaid she said. We tried it...cuz she gave it to her :sigh:
And Jack broke out in an itchy rash so we washed it off & tried it no more. THEN I read (I know...won't do dat ever again) that Pennsaid is ONLY to be used on the knee & not on any other part of the body. :huh: :gaah:
Anyway...the other little firl at the ortho office says, "If the Pennsaid helps then go get Voltaren, It's basically the same thing."
So I looked at Voltaren for B... 'Do not use on shoulder, back & something else I do not recall.' :wall:
Always, I've had to really watch the medical goings ons with Jacki...too many hooman errors...too many peoples making assumptions & treating accordingly (and wrongly). But now... :woe:
The healthcare machine has just moved to this model in the past 10ish years. I'm sure it's way way more profitable. :sigh:
Iffin I am scarce, all is well. :sparkle:
LOTS of family is coming in... 4 from Ohio, 12 from Georgia...and a dozen or so that live here.
They ALL hasing soup & salad & sammiches at Mom's house tonight. :uhoh:
And tomorrow is the visitation & memorial service for my dear Aunt Katherine. :angel:
She will be buried here (she's already cremated).

Nurse practitioners "can" be very very doog AND better than doctors :yes:
But not yers :therethere: srsly WITH an X-ray he shoulda :bean: able to say no bone or tendon damage aka NOT arthritis :gaah: the "nigh bone on bone" thang is verging on criminal :fist:
Even at a bad angle or with a :carp: xray ... he shoulda said no mores than distinct swelling/inflammation and potentially early stage arthritis ... then :bump: youse up the chain of command :yes:
FYI: the main difference between bursitis and arthritis is arthritis damages bone and cartilage ... bursitis is just the swelling ... and the bursa thang.
So iffen the first doc could not see any damage on the xray he should not have mentioned arthritis other than an early stage possibility :wall:
"So I looked at Voltaren for B... 'Do not use on shoulder, back & something else I do not recall.' :wall: "
Holy :carp: :horn: Do NOT let B touch that ffuts srsly about a decade ago it was associated with increased :heart: and vascular risk :horror: The ffuts is a COX inhibitor like Naproxen AND it's actually a knockoff molecule with a similar aryl propionic acid key geometry ... the bit that binds to the enzyme.
I'm not aware of a knees only thang :scratch: but I'd prolly steer clear of the tablet forms :whistle:
Anywho J ack i is a speeshul case ... people who lose weight and feelz joint pain are typically those with hypermobility. In her case I has no clue how you'd tellz :dunno: I just noes I has negative hypermobility or ya noes less than nermal :sigh: even fully :egg: tended my joints look slightly bent :gaah: this really sucks when yer competing in gymnastics :fist:
Like I said not sure how you'd tellz with J ack i :dunno: BUT iffen her pHyzical therapist was trying to make her joint mooves to it's fullest :egg: tent that would actually aggravate her condition unbeknownst to PT guy. She may just need to rest the arm and let her body fix thangs on it's own :angel: or perchance it's an infected bursa and the body needs time to disinfect it :yes: :secret: :cs:
Hey so does aspirin help? 'cuz she might also just need a :wheee: bit of inflammation help and more :cow: or atleast shrimp 'n ffuts to help rebuild her body :matt: A little Icy Hot and a doog Red/InfrRed light might be enough :yes:

We are doing light therapy on the regular. :yes: And no, her joints do not extend fully either. :nonono:
I told the therapist that & she looked at me as if I was an alien. Then later I saw she was with a different therapist & I wondered iffin she got the message. :sigh:
So...rural healthcare providers are typically 1) from the area to start with or 2) come with some sort of baggage that makes them unable to get a better job. The latter is more likely true with doctors. :sigh: The pay is much higher in the cities. Much.
I shoulda known better. :sigh: And now I won't forget. When Dad was sent to Jackson hospital the ER here made it sound like he was dying that minute...didn't know if he'd make it to Jackson. A frustrated oncology nurse says, "All the little hospitals & clinics get so overexcited about everything. They are constantly sending us patients they say are critical but really are not."
:thanks:
We got:rain: LOTS o' rain! :umbrella: Hopefully it is over before the cemetary ffutses at noon. :sparkle:

Bestest Day . :yes:
I told :b: we oughta get an extra hour every weekend.
He thunk that cool but said time was gonna get real driew within just a few weeks. :hysterical:
Many many :fullmoon: ago I worked for an orthopedic surgeon. :yes: I worked there just about a year.
And in that time there were soooooo many patients who came in with fractures or other undiagnosed issues who had already been to a regular doc who told them they were fine.
'My' doctor said it was typical. He also didn't even want to see their xrays.... he only trusted his own (& his longtime xray tech)
So I wasn't shocked. I am too pleased to care about anything else. :cheer:
I truly was worried about not only the shoulder, but the possibility of severe arthritis elsewhere.
Guess what? :pie:
:fullmoom: AND eclipse tonight/tomorrow depending on where you live & how many hours one got back. :chuckle:
Supposedly it's quite a big deal. It definitely feels 'edgy' & maybe um...anxious?
Oooh, the anxiety I sense is prolly connected to the US elections tomorrow & all the peoples caught up in the passion. :wtf:
Me?
Here... :sofa:
Or here. :leisa: :asiel:

Yup the :fullmoon: eclipse is total here on the doog side of the states :happydance: of course it's prolly gonna be :rain: ing or atleast a lot of :cloud: s :gaah:
Yeah it helps to actually noes what yer doesing :roll: anyone can take an xray but proper positioning and noesing what angles are best for whatever is rather helpful :whistle:
Of course ya cannot beat an MRI :nono: especially for soft tissue damage and elucidation but you'd think the first one coulda done a CT scan of the shoulder or some type of panoramic xray :scratch: I mean clearly they cannot read an xray worth :carp:
"So I wasn't shocked. I am too pleased to care about anything else. :cheer: "
Yeah that'll werk too :beerme:
Too bad Pandora hasn't dropped by ... she was a radiation imagist type :yes: ... Actually :scratch: dang it has :bean: a long time ... I sure hope :ladybug: is ok :uhoh:
In other newses ... I don't think my NO levelz can drop any lower :scratch: even without taking any of my siguie brand supplements or eating anythin green my NO levelz seem to be stuck between 50 and 80 ppm which is just dipping into "low" :dunno:
Presumably long time use of siguie ffuts has lasting effects :flex: BUT it makes :egg: perimenting a tad tricky ... I need more minions like ZeroBoy :yes: ya noes 'cept for the werk ethic he was perfect. Now he's borked :gaah: eating kale atleast twice a week and popping spirulina all day makes him useless :pullhair:
I'll try one quick :egg: periment and try and measure the effect of 1g powdered siguie brand kale ... yeah I makes my own powdered kale now :whistle: and hopefully there will be a slight :bump: to above 100ppm and I'll git a time measure afores morning to see how long it lasts :wiggle:

I'm outside. It's absolutely beautiful :flowerom: but seems Old Man Winter is coming in earnest by the weekend. :cry:
I told Mom I couldn't do it again. She asks, "Do what?"
I replied "I've already gone around & said farewell to all the tender vegetation. Then it warmed back up & things came back again so now I gotta say goodbye again!" :rofl:
For reals tho I have :rose: blooming & filled with buds. Hostas have come up & are 3-4" tall.

Quiet is doog :om:
Iffen ya wan to has lotsa werk AND twiddle fingerz you should becomez a minion :yes: ... Apparently 1 :gaah:
Say how are yer NO levelz? :hmm2:
:flyball:
We had lotsa :rain: and lightning :electrocute: I recorded more than 99 strikes nearby ... 'cuz my detector doesn't has triple digits and wrapped around atleast once :sigh:
Also just ober an inch of water :yesss: but no eclipsical :drama:
Oh yeah 1 gram of siguie brand kale is doog for a about a 200ppm boost and it lasts for atleast 24h though the :bump: is down to between 100 and 150ppm {I :check: ed afores lunch} but that's on top of the siguie base ~80ppm.
Presumably the reuptake system recycles the nitrate/nitrite as :egg: pected but I'm really curious what amount of the NO is actually used up during daily living also why kale seems to has a looonger :bump: duration than spirulina, spinach and :cabbage: ... those are my 3 NO standards :wiggle:
I'm purty sure the answer is in the way the biome :blob: :mushrooms: interact with the kale tough cellular composition. My guess is that kale is even betterer than it appears BUT much of the doogness is slooow released even from the powdered form :yes:
FYI: spirulina has about an 8 hour :bump: and that's it. Three pellets is a doog bump like kale BUT it tapers off at around 8 hours though with more you git a longer :bump: presumably via the reuptake system.
Spinach and cabbage {siguie kraut} is doog for a little over 24 hours :thumbs: presumably from a slooow release effect coupled with gut biome :blob: :mushrooms:
Also siguie kraut has a biggerer :bump: that lasts longer than either cooked cabbage or "cole slaw" ... though that might be because siguie slaw includes plenty of oil :dunno:
I was gonna try and does more with the fermented vs nonfermented NO ffuts but too much werks :unthumbs:
"Sig...if you wanna trash your NO levels then you gotta start eating lots of trash. :yes: "
:roll: Um :hello: I've always eaten lotsa trash it's the way of my peoplez :om: srsly ... I just don't like the cheap :cheese: thang 'cuz that's :carp: :unthumbs: Fer realz I even has a tub of Wagyu rendered fat to cook with 'cuz it makes cheap :cow: taste vastly superior :happydance:
Anywho 93% sure that the eNOS nermal production is based on long term effects :yes: as in yes eating trash will slooowly reduce natural eNOS NO production over time ... partially based on biome effects but as well as oxidative stress effects. The thang is I'm purty sure the "main" reason for age related issues is related to oxidative stress and build up of metabolite byproducts.
In other wurdz :irule: ... ya noes relatively speaking 8)
That said I'll prolly go back to my regular series of siguie brand supplements tonight but what really annoys me is I haven't gotted any conclusive results on my brachial artery endeavors :gaah: It is really freaken hard to figure out the flow dynamics of just the brachial artery :wall: I almost gotted an ultrasonic doppler flow meter but for $200 you only git qualitative results :pullhair: ... what I really need is a laser doppler flowmeter and they isn't cheap :sigh: Plus I just want to measure the effects of oil on blood flow :kickcan:
Oh and yeah srsly ... I hadn't realized it afores but nearly ebery tested thang that I "felt" had a positive pHyzical benefit after taking it for some time has some level of NO :bump: ... fer realz :yes:
Also there's this ...
Long-Term Vitamin C Treatment Increases Vascular Tetrahydrobiopterin Levels and Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/01.RES.0000049166.33035.62)

"tomorrow is back to sewing as we finally got some werk to do :thumbs: "
:woohoo: yeah werk :headbang:
In other newses we gotted :rain: :excited: ... it was a doogly amount too :happydance:
That said the storm dug down and wrapped around south ... which is a doog sized storm but odd for this time if year :scratch: Also the timing is a tad skeery 'cuz there's a tropical system {Nicole} about to hit Floriduh :uhoh: Regardless of whether Nicole is a hurriedcane or not that's a LOT of warm moisture running into a cold front :shiver: ... likely just west of tanassi :horror:
Fer realz :yes: this is one of those NOW is a doog time to be a prepper moment :whistle: :choir: wouldn't you like to be a prepper too ... la la la ... in addition to some serious :rain: and :blowme: right after it's gonna git COLD :shiver:
Did I mention I was playing with heating ideas agin :matt:

:scratch: you has no werk daze due to FOG :woe: I aint neber had one of them AND I livez on the coast and travel through winding mountain roads AND we has some serious FOG :sigh:
Though thick FOG is ripe for atmospHeric water harvesting :hmm2: you could be an atmospHerical pHarmer type :yes: Bestest of all no durt :yesss:
However, I suspect yer pHarmerz water market isn't as robust as here in KalipHorniya :drama:
Enjoy the :thumbs: twiddling :thumbs:
We gots :sun: ny cool weather :happydance: the high is mid fiddys which is how I likes it :yesss: Perfect time to harvest some solar and perchance denature a couple of offending tree limbs :club: ... neighbours tree isn't respecting boundaries and is about to learn a lesson :muaha:
In other newses ... dang you Thursdazed :fist:
Also the minions are split between :gayfight: and :zzz:
I thinxz the mood is shifting towards hibernating :yawn: :coffee:

Where was I? :huh:
Oh yeah...busy. :wiggle:
No 'fog days' here either. :sigh: And we also gets lots of heavy fog in the mornings.
But :boyhowdy: just say the word, "Snow" & everything shuts down. :frantic:
:bsl:
So coleslaw with lotsa oil makes biggerer/longer NO :bump: :gaah:
Tho really, I no longer crave fat & don't want to eat any cuz I like this leaner body a lot. :righton:
It still needs muskelled & toned but it feels quite comfortable at the size it is. :chuckle:
And it's that fibrousness of kale that :b: does not like. :sigh:
Sig, didja think that genetic variances could also affect NO levels?
I can almost guarantee that iffin B & I ate the same amounts of kale that my NO levels would be higher longer than his.
:horn: Today is 11/11. AKA 11:11 or 11.11 or 1111. :chuckle: BUT...we get the added bonus of 22 this year... 11/11/22.
What does that mean?
Whatever you want it to mean! :bliss:
It means I gotta get outside & bring in plants...again...and enjoy this day cuz overnight we got hard down WINTER moving in. :shiver: Tomorrow high of 43, low of 22! :scared: Chillly (Tanasi winter) for the next 10 days. :bawling:

"So coleslaw with lotsa oil makes biggerer/longer NO :bump: :gaah: "
No :buttkick: other way ... siguie kraut more :bump: ier and longerer lasting :yes: The reason :scratch: possibly more oil in siguie slaw :dunno: it could also be better cellular breakdown due to fermentation releasing more organo nitrates OR sumthin about fermenting :bump: s NO levelz :dunno:
Also not a lot of data points :nono: I just had the one cabbage and converted 3/4ths into siguie kraut. After 2 weeks {krauting time} it's possible the remaining cabbage oxidized losing some organo nitrates that the kraut didn't lose considering the anaerobic environment. In the end I only gotted two data points where I weighed out amounts of both for testing porpoises so I'm just saying there appears to be a slight to moderate trend favoring fermented cabbage BUT more research is needed :yes:
Oh and the last thang ... I boiled down some kale until it was :end: mush then filtered out the solids to produce 48ml of concentrated kale juice. Then after it cooled I took it like a shot :yucky: and :boom: my NO levelz were super high in an hour over 500ppm nitrates by one test strip :thumbs: The next day roughly 16h later it was back down to a little over 100ppm which is basically nermal.
So yeah there's definitely roughage being involved in the looong 3 day release of NO :yes: Prolly also :blob: s and :mushrooms: in the gut helping too :yes: Inerestinly kale organo nitrates are water soluble and surprisingly heat stable :yesss: AND kale shots might be a doog nitroglycerin replacement :dunno:
Otherwise I'm back to FULL siguie brand nutritional supplemntationing :thumbs:
It's :sun: ny and cool here AND Friday BUT I feelz real doog (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dance2.gif) back to my old :siguie: self :bliss:
As for genetic variations accounting for the NO discrepancies between you twoose ... it's possible :dunno: there are numerous diseases related to low nitric oxide production BUT generally speaking in the psience game you don't play the genetics card until the end OR atleast has some data to back it up :yes:
It is of course possible that a genetic variation is what causes B's fambily side to die young BUT the smoking and eating only :carp: is gonna be hard to rule out as contributing factors.
Personally I thinxz yer vegetational tendencies simply :bump: yer biome to prefer an herbivorous lifestyle while B's biome is still texting :vibes: his :brain: that he needz :cow: ... the same is true for sugar, fat and purty much any "craving" :yes:
There are natural advantages to eating :cow: sugar and espeeshully fats :yes: An "advantage" isn't necessary but is desirable because it makes thangs easier. That said hoomans evolved to seek out these advantages, which is why we want them. The problem is NOW they are too easy to acquire so we gits more than we evolved to use which leads to bad thangs maynard :therethere:
Anywho the point "oil" isn't absolutely necessary :nono: and wanting or not wanting it is based on ones personal tastes as determined by fiat of yer ruling :blob: & :mushrooms:
As for kale texture ... :roll: ... just find one that isn't as tough there's literally a bazillion different kales to choose from :yes: Dad has a few different varieties that he likes :thumbs: and a couple he don't :unthumbs: As for me I just stick to Trader Joe's bag of chopped kale 'cuz it's $2 and lasts the week and is doog for 3 or 4 kale doses which is more than enough to keep even a non-siguie person flush with NO for the whole week :bliss:
As for B he's more of a speeshul case ... he "needs" the NO :bump: to offset the blockages by dilating the vascular bits :yes: Thang is Kale is NOT the only game in town :nono: so iffen he doesn't like any then pick sumthin else :yes: :spinach: is a doog choice 'cuz it's easy to use anywhere :yes: I has no issue using raw baby spinach in salads or samwhiches and I'll line a burrito with the ffuts iffen I doesn't has no :lettuce: :angel: or ya noes still has a big bag of spinach I need to git rid of :oz:
Apparently 1 cabbages including napa cabbage are also quite doog for nitric oxide :yes: PLUS there's beets and beet greens which you prolly lubs considering it tastes like durt :yucky:
Anywho I don't recall what drugs he's still taking but the NO :bump: er could easily be replaced with some form of greens and the question of how much oil he can handle can be werked out OR iffen eberythang is going doog don't worry about it :nono: I'm the one intrigued by the technical aspects :yes: and 'cuz I noes how to psience I can totally rock this thang :headbang:
Fer realz thinxz about it ... I don't noes what NO level those drugs :bump: B's level too but considering mine are continuously off the scale it's not unthinkable that his organo nitrate medication could be replaced by siguie brand supplementation :nono: AND there are oodles of other benefits 8) ... though still in the research stage :whistle:
Also if "oil" were to be sumthin bad for me I noes taking psyllium reduces the absorption of fat AND I already noes how to cook with psyllium ... basically modifying my diet is easy :peas: y.

This is really just a type of "sand battery" using :electrocute: to heat ... it's prolly better to use a rocket stove to heat the sand or just direct solar :egg: posure BUT it werks doog and is a pleasant warmz :wiggle:
In other newses ... siguie NO levelz ... to infinity and beyond ... yeah scalelos once more :sigh:

Thirdish, we eat lots of spinach. And collards. And lettuces & brassicas. I never met a green I didn't like so we've always had lots of greens. Mustard greens & turnip greens are the 2 most poplar round here. :hayseed: With pork fat. :yes:
Fourthright.... FERMENTATION! :doh: That's the key in the :siguie: brand slaw.

Iffen that's true then the question you should ask is what component of your otherwise "healthy" eating lead to B's current state :yes: I don't mean this in some mean passive aggressive :gayfight: kinda way but very srsly :yes: The actual cloggy bits can purty well be asplained from smoking with the concomitant loss of vascular elasticity and oxidative stress :bump: literally producing the foam cell followed by inflammation and calcificationating. That said even after quitting and with numerous "healthy" doof like adjustments his condition worsened to the point he needed a cardiologist :uhoh: So what is the reason? :scratch:
I thinxz the answer ... like you mentioned at the end ... is "Oil" :yes:
Only it's not what you thinxz :nono: AND there are two deleterious effects of which one is short lived 2 to 8 hours and the other longer lasting ~2 weeks :sofa:
Anywho, still researching BUT pretty sure eberythang comes down to a ratio of omega 3 6 and 9 oils NOT being right :naughty: currently that ratio should "ideally" be 2:1:1 :yes:
The problem is once the ratio is correct there is still issues iffen there is pre-existing inflammation. In any event it's complicated espeeshully with omega-9's not being "essential" BUT it's all about :balance:
Fer realz :yes: iffen yer gonna oil up B try to avoid :bump: ing the omega 6's over the 3's ... just sayin :whistle:

61! :scream: :shiver:
No passive aggressive intentions were felt, read nor heard. :chuckle:
So he really began feeling the angina but didn't know it was that in 2018/19. That's when his BP went up for the first time in his life & also when his weight hit max levels. He was also very stressed.
We did the Pagano diet for a full year before diagnosis as well. 2020. Super flared psoriasis. That whole year he ate LOTS of olive oil. Prolly mostly Pompeian & prolly impure. :sigh:
Also lots of parmesan cheese...and white cheddar. And chicken, turkey sausage & tuna. LOTS of tuna.
Elsewise that diet was mostly vegetation.
But what I believe pushed him over the edge was not doof but working 80+ hours a week at Dana. And working nights.
It was also Dana that gave him the insurance to afford him the luxury :roll: of stress test, cardiologist, cath lab, etc.
That was when he really started feeling the pressure in his chest & shortness of breath. OH! & I'd make him :egg: sammiches to eat on the way to work cuz that was pretty much his entire day's doof. He had no time to eat at work.
2 :egg: :egg: , cheese, mayo. :(
Winter 2020/21 was when he had bad chest pains & thunk it injury. He was in real bad shape & did not go back to the nursery until April-ish. He ate TONS of fruit that summer, declaring himself a fruititarian.
And yes, we stopped eating pork & beef in 2012 but we were still far from what I'd now call healthy. I fried, or oven-fried with plenty of oil, chicken regularly...chicken & dumplings, paprikash, etc. And I put butter in lotsa things often using a whole stick on supper (1/4 stick in corn or peas. 1/2 in potatoes, 1/4 on cornbread or whatevers... :eek: )
Our diet was horrific before 2012. :( Fried foods way too often. Very southern standard american diet. SSAD.
:dunno: My dates I think are a bit messed up. But bottom line is that I believe the stress of nights & mega hours was the biggest influence. I think we've already determined that stress (emotion in general) is prolly the most significant factor for him. Food would be second.

That was when he really started feeling the pressure in his chest & shortness of breath. OH! & I'd make him :egg: sammiches to eat on the way to work cuz that was pretty much his entire day's doof. He had no time to eat at work.
2 :egg: :egg: , cheese, mayo. :(
Winter 2020/21 was when he had bad chest pains & thunk it injury. He was in real bad shape & did not go back to the nursery until April-ish. He ate TONS of fruit that summer, declaring himself a fruititarian.
And yes, we stopped eating pork & beef in 2012 but we were still far from what I'd now call healthy. I fried, or oven-fried with plenty of oil, chicken regularly...chicken & dumplings, paprikash, etc. And I put butter in lotsa things often using a whole stick on supper (1/4 stick in corn or peas. 1/2 in potatoes, 1/4 on cornbread or whatevers... :eek: )
Our diet was horrific before 2012. :( Fried foods way too often. Very southern standard american diet. SSAD.
:dunno: My dates I think are a bit messed up. But bottom line is that I believe the stress of nights & mega hours was the biggest influence. I think we've already determined that stress (emotion in general) is prolly the most significant factor for him. Food would be second.

Oh nothin much... :chuckle:
B had a 'heart attack'-like' episode on the streets of Nashville in late August.
I had a strange UTI that took me out for nearly 2 weeks.
Sig's dad ffuts happened ... other thread ... edited by sig.
Michaela...well she seems to be the most stable of recent days assuming she's telling everything. :chuckle:
Oh & Jacki has bursitis in her right shoulder which was initially diagnosed as "severe arthritis". (I'm taking her to an alternative clinic on n 12/7)
Not much at all.
:bsl:
How the heck are YOU? And Bug?
Maybe you said so elsewhere. I'll go check. :run:

Jacki's shoulder... in her words, "Pain, pain, pain". :luvcry:
She's eating way too many pain relievers again...using ice several times a day...topicals, too.
Yesterday I got an appointment here: https://newlifemedicalgroup.com/
December 7 was the first available.
We wanna go there first, then if need be, back to the ortho for surgery to "clean it out". :sigh:

J has my sympathy. Bursitis is really painful, I've experienced it. I hope it resolves fast for her.

Folks are not behaving well around here at all. It's been very grumpy, angry stuff. Don't know what the heck is going on with them, but maybe the snow will help calm them all down.

Snow has a very calming effect...until it gets to be too much & then it makes people crankier.
The memory of trying to push a shopping cart with a kid inside through inches of dirty slush never goes away. :rofl:
B had severe angina, tachycardia, nausea, weakness on the sidewalk headed to dinner & then to see Roger Waters.
Fortunately there was a window well nearby where we could sit. I just kept repeating, "Tell me when to call 911...tell me when to call 911". We were literally blocks away from St Thomas Heart Center where he goes.
His heartrate remained elevated for 3-4 hours, even after 2 nitroglycerines. :sigh:
But we did make it to the concert... :hysterical: Crazy night.
:book: s are doog. :righton:
I gots 3 newish ones beside my chair that have yet to be read all the way through. :sigh:
2 by Dr. Esselstyn (the whole food plant-based no oil, seeds or nuts guy) & one by Dr. Martin Luther King. :check:

Heya Pan :glomp: :happydance:
How is the :ladybug: ? :share:
"She's eating way too many pain relievers again...using ice several times a day...topicals, too. "
Are those pain relievers also fever reducers? 'cuz I'm still curious why there was never a :check: for some form of septic bursitis :dunno: Have you tried giving her colloidal silver? It wont cure it :nono: atleast not right away BUT one large dose "should" make her feel less pain 2 or 3 hours after taking it but will only last for a few hours :therethere: However, it would let ya noes she needs non-pain relieving meds too :yes:
FYI: Fever reducing pain meds can make thangs worserer iffen the pain is due to infection.
Also what kind of shoulder brace is she using? :scratch: She doesn't need compression BUT some amount of motion restriction is necessary :yes: Otherwise with (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) she will always move to the :egg: tent that she feelz pain and it will never goes away. This is that :donut: that git people hooked on pain meds and you don't want that :nonono:
Oh and does she still see a pHyzical therapissed? 'cuz bursitis is literally sumthin they can help with :yes:
As for the website cool lasers are always doog but I likes there oxygen chambers even more :yes: AND no :nono: srsly iffen this is just bursitis it should be a few doog daze of rest to git a handle on it then ride it down slowly. It's possible that these thangs become chronic so it's important to unerstanz how to treat it yerself ... elswise it's a lot of driving and real :egg: pensive :horror:
However, iffen it's beyond yer abilities then a surgical cleaning might be the bestest bet :yes: That said I'm all for lasing :wubsigh: and or oxygen chambering :happydance: BUT for lasing be sure it is NOT an infection AND her shoulder is kept in a restful restrained state otherwise it's not gonna help at all :nono:

Her due date was adjusted to FEB 16th. She finally started feeling normal and eating in the past 2 weeks. She actually lost 15 lbs. :eek: .
But the little guy is doing well and he's strong. Yup, it be a boy. HOBS. Still a little dodgy with her bp, and glucose, but she's in weekly monitoring with Dr Dolkhart, and I have the greatest trust in that guy. :thumbs:

Pandora, did I ever mention my cousin who gotted pregnant at 44 after not being able to has kids her whole life?
She is a juvenile diabetic. Has an insulin pump. Got questionable prenatal care.
And had a perfectly healthy bby boy who is now 3 years old & in preschool.
:happydance:
As for Jack...the orthopedist said (& she proved out) that PT simply aggravates bursitis. :dunno:
She's been in pain now for at least 3 months, maybe more (Time :witchfly: ) so I'd say it's chronic already.
As for pain relievers, she was popping ibuprofen but said it doesn't work. Yesterday she switched to aspirin.
None of them really mask the pain like she wants & she absolutely cannot take opiates in any amount so there's little chance of addiction.
I am making CS this morning (for the elder Scooby Doo who has a :uhoh: raw sore on his shoulder/neck) so I will surely give Jacki some. Jacki's had no fever since covid, but could it be one of those odd long covid thangs? :huh: I know. No way to know.
Seriously tho...maybe virus settled in there & in that case then CS & lotsa Vitamin C oughta make it better. :dunno:
I believe the 'UTI' I had was covid-induced, at the least, cuz it was so atypical. I still has PTSD from that. :huh: Certain things (smells, usually) trigger & put me right back in the 'out of body sick as hell' place & I hafta shake myself & say "Hey...that's over. You're fine". (The whole process takes less than a minute :rofl: )

"As for Jack...the orthopedist said (& she proved out) that PT simply aggravates bursitis. :dunno: "
That depends on the location and type of movement but presumably it's bad enough that any shoulder movement will set it off now :dunno:
What kind of shoulder brace does she use? Also is it any movement that causes pain or specific motion?
I is/was a competition sabre fencer and after competitions I'd use a compression brace but with a towel rolled up under my arm to pull the shoulder outwards. Iffen any movement causes J ack i pain then she may need sumthin more restricting OR lifting 'cuz sometimez the inflamed bursa is the one that grabbity on the arm aggravates :yes:
Anywho going on for 3 months does make it sound chronic BUT what started it ... this being the first time 'n all. Covid is a possibility though I'm betting it's whatever she or was it B were given antibiotics for :scratch:
You can blame covid for it BUT you guys also went through some other sicky thangs which kinda make more sensicalz :dunno: BUT yeah no ways to noes now so just does what you can to treat EBERYTHANG :angel:

So we had a very pretty blanket of snow early this morning, but by late morning it was gone. Of course that's how the first snow usually behaves. But we're more seasonable now, with temps in the 30's to 40's. There might be some more snow, due to lake effect, but I think we'll see more sleet/icy stuffs.
Asiel, when I had a bout of bursitis it was definitely because of heavy repetitive movements. Resting and not doing that movement did help resolve it, along with the ibuprofin for me. Does J rest on her elbows a lot? Like when she's on the 'puter? Is she sleeping in a way that stresses that joint? It may be a simple change in position/motion that could help relieve it some.

Redhead :yes: :red:
Thanks, guys. :hugs:
She uses an Amazon shoulder brace that has a gel pack for hot or cold. It does not really compress, mainly cuz the proportion is wrong (she's 4'9"). It just about cuts her head off. :chuckle: As do seat belts, btw. :uhoh:
It works very well for holding the gel pack tho.
And yeah, I've been working with her to support that arm....threatening to put her in a sling if she doesn't does it...cuz yes, I believe rest is the single most important healing factor. She hasn't slept on that side in ages.
And sig, the internet says it can last anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months.
I think it was caused by tablet overusage coupled with weight loss. :yes: B has the exact same thang. :huh:
Her tablet was down for awhile (cord) & she got better. :yes: But when she got it back... :boom:
:snowball: IT's cold enough for snow here. :uhoh: 23 right now. :wtf:

"And sig, the internet says it can last anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months. "
The inernet is wrong it can last years to indefinitely but most people figure out how to cure it sooner :oz:
Srsly there's no upper or lower limits iffen yer causing inflammationit's not going away :nono:
Iffen the Amazon brace isn't doog git one that is or make sumthin yerself :yes: You can literally take an old jacket and just sew the Left sleeve to the chest so it werks as a sling. You can also use rope to tie the elbow area down or restrict movement by allowing only a little tether :yes:
Iffen you need to restrict tablet use try a mitten :yes:

I made a straight jacket just to practice escaping
(In my best Zanna voice) Of course you did, Dear. :woe:
Yes, yes, we've done or are doing most of that. Except the mittens. :no:
Extra pillows to prop her arm on in bed, big pillows beside her on the couch (she sits where there is no arm rest on her right side & And no way Jose she won't change ends of the couch :uhoh: ) . And she's learning to use the tablet with her left hand. :yes:
And we has another very doog shoulder brace that B bought but she wants the one with ice. :woe:
In other newses...
:shiver: :no: :tantrum: Too too cold for Tanasi.
Tho Snow Belt.... :aaahhh: I had a friend who lived in Buffalo for awhile & she confirmed that hell is not :campfire:
She said hell is :shiver: with FEET of snow from the first fallen flake til late spring. In other words...Buffalo.

Quote"The snowfall will produce near zero visibility, difficult to impossible travel, damage to infrastructure, and paralyze the hardest-hit communities," the National Weather Service said Thursday. "Very cold air will accompany this event, with temperatures 20 degrees below normal forecast by the weekend."
"Historic snowfall exceeding 4 feet is likely around Buffalo," it added Friday.

Of course it's Buffalo. That's a given. :laugh:
We won't see that down here in Pennsyltucky. We are gonna get teens and low twenties with wind gusting, though. Winter has officially arrived. :shiver:
So, much as I'm not a fan of this kinda cold, I'm sorta happy for it. I'm hoping it calms people the heck down. We been having some crazy stuff around here more than usual. :uhoh:
We be turning into a true crime paradise with unidentified bodies, hit and runs, missing, and unsolved shootings. I kid you not, it's been like livin' in a film noire with Bogart. :eek:

I am where I am Sig. I don't think movin' is something I'm doing in the near future with Hobs on the way.
Yeah, it is cold here, currently 23F. It's a snap though. In another week it'll come back up to the 40's, and may even have a day in the 50s. It's kinda the normal pattern here. Then the 1st or 2nd week in December we'll get a real snow, and another short cold snap. On the holiday there won't be any snow, and likely it'll be back into the upper 30's and 40's. Least ways thats how it normally works, but :dunno:

I'm trying to ignore the fact that it's cold AF out there & just keep moving. :run:
We spent a big part of Saturday in Jackson and yesterday there was a bday lunch for Widdle Cousin Matthew who turned 21 & is not so Widdle any more. He was a year older than Jinn Kai. :faint:
And in the midst of goings we are renovating this house bit by little bit. :sparkle: :yes: :sparkle:
Til now we'd never lived in the same place for more than 5 years. :nonono: Many early moves. And each time you move you weed lotsa ffutses out. :yes:
But now... SEVENTEEN YEARS! :faint: How'd dat happen? :uhoh:
Suffice it to say (zannaspeak :wub: ) the house needs a LOT of attention. Painting, flooring, rebalancing... the guest room has become a walk-in closet (and Snoop Dogg's bedroom) in the past 2 or3 years so that room's getting reno-ed (or is it vated? :rofl: ) first. B is like a man on a mission. :violet: :run:
AND... I am consciously cutting way back on screen time period so therefore I feel like I check in but I don't. :huh: :hysterical:
Rearranging (renovating) my mornings, too.

Mom sweetly said she'd eat whatever we ate but I know how Mom treasures her traditions & I says, "No...you will have your traditional ffuts, we'll just make a lot less." So today I am helping her make the cornbread dressing & the cranberry jello ffuts.
We will eat the cranberry ffuts, jello & all. :chuckle: It's yummy....oranges, walnuts, cranberries, raspberry jello & sugar to taste.
I'm making a fatlos stuffing with vegetable broth that I made yesterday, mashed taters made with yukon gold :tater:

Thanksgiving. We has Black Friday Family Feast Day. Yup, Not really turkey cutlets, mashed taters, stuffing, corn, cranberries, gravy, brussel sprouts, and :pie: Pumpkin and apple. :liplick: But it's not like it was then. Now it's 4 of us, and no one eats together, cuz I don't know cept Bug and Boo don't talk. Kaden still isn't talkin' to me...it's just not what it was. :sigh:
Anywayz, I shall still feast and enjoy myself into a traditional food coma. :D

I think things taste better becuz you axshully see & savor each individual bite. With a fork or spoon one can simply shovel it in without looking or thinking. Chopsticks promote mindfulness. :yes:
I can almost taste those 1-minute fresh :peas: with the doof tweezers. :rofl:
That's what Jacki needs. :doh: When we go out for Asian doof we/I hafta pass on chopsticks cuz then Jacki wants some, too.
What's the problem? Well, most often she somehow amazingly gets her doof to fly across the table & even across the restaurant.
I think it's :hysterical: B does not. :chuckle:
Pan... I understand the 'not like it used to be' cuz it's pretty much always the 3 of us, Mom & ZA. We usta has BIG Thanksgiving parties in Ohio...inviting any & every single/loner/outcast that we knew. :chuckle: Fond memories of Josh passed out on our couch :roll: :rofl: . Pey. He drank too much.
When Dad died he pretty much took the party with him. One did not get more than a couple steps in the door before :papa: put a drink in their hand. :chuckle: And it was fine iffin it was a non-alcoholic drink. He alway kept Cokes in his beer cooler & would not be content til I took one. :wub:
When Zanna's fambily was at a similar stage as yours she still made a big ol' Thanksgiving dinner & left it warming for awhile. Then she'd put it all in the fridge & everyone ate what they wanted when they wanted. :hearts:

"I prefer chopsticks for must stuff. I doesn't know why but things taste better. :dunno: "
With a fork or spoon and the way most eat the part that touches the tongue first is typically the metal fork or spoon AND the doof is placed further back in the mouth so taste comes later, is less intense and goes away sooner :bye:
Oh and while the tongue does not really has areas for different tastes it does has a higher concentration of taste buds near the tip which is the licky part :liplick: The net result is unless you take small bites and eat slowly {or properly with a knife and fork} then you are "gulping" more and tasting less compared to chopsticks where you place doof generally on the tip of the tongue. Plus doof made to be eaten with chopsticks is generally cut smaller.
Anywho net result is doof has shorter contact time with the tongue when eaten with a fork vs chopsticks :oz:

:tapfoot:
With a fork or spoon and the way most eat the part that touches the tongue first is typically the metal fork or spoon AND the doof is placed further back in the mouth so taste comes later, is less intense and goes away sooner :bye:
Oh and while the tongue does not really has areas for different tastes it does has a higher concentration of taste buds near the tip which is the licky part :liplick: The net result is unless you take small bites and eat slowly {or properly with a knife and fork} then you are "gulping" more and tasting less compared to chopsticks where you place doof generally on the tip of the tongue. Plus doof made to be eaten with chopsticks is generally cut smaller.
Anywho net result is doof has shorter contact time with the tongue when eaten with a fork vs chopsticks :oz:

Thanksgiving to me is and has always been about cooking with Mom. There were a few years when we lived apart that I cooked by myself but it's the hanging out all day in the kitchen that is speshul. :wubsigh:
Of course, with each passing year I am evermore aware that it may be the last so I savor each moment. :wub:
When Mom is gone it will possibly be Chinese take-out. :yes:
And yes, I once saw the older man at the local Chinese restaurant eating out of a buffet pan. :horror:
He used his chopsticks as a shovel....head leaning over the pan to within 6" & shovelling it all in til finally he just picked up the big stainless pan & drank from it as if it was a soup bowl. :faint: Sitting right out in his restaurant. :yucky:
:rofl:
Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all! :grouphug:

I got nothin. We worked in the guest room & besides the fact that the bed is mattresslos, it is axshully a room now & not a big walk-in closet. :clap:
So we had an old telescope that was given to us. Very big, seemingly missing pieces, & we never figgered out how to use it.
B took it down to the road & set it up. :chuckle: Along with 4, yes 4, fried stereo receivers. And within just a couple hours they were both gone. :clap:

Why would you keep even one fried receiver much less four :woe: I mean sure :egg: tract the useful components or search for the blowed capacitor and replace it :yes: Srsly them thangs always use too small or underrated smoothing capacitor and people wunderz why they blow after putting the max signal strength through :roll: Fer realz though iffen you has a fifth borked receiver just pop the bonnet and look for an Electrolytic capacitor {or series of them} that has discoloured OR more likely the flat top is now rounded :yes:
Srsly in TeeVeez too :boom: Electrolytic capacitor has fryed :bye:
Yup leave ffuts on the curb and it'll vanish here too :yes: I put my old OLD OLDE 80lbs monitor on the curb for speeshul :electrocute: recycling and it literally vanished in less than 5 minutes :huh: :faint: There's a speeshul tag that needs to be put on it and by the time I walked back the monitor had poofed :scratch: BUT I did salvage the high voltage circuit afores that :yesss: The circuit produces 80kV for my ionocraft :oz:

So, our feast was really nice. :ladybug: sat in the kitchen with me the whole day, bein' cozy and chatty while I made a pumpkin pie, and all the other fixins. It came out good, except I din't like the faux :turkey: cutlets by Gardein. :yucky: But with all the other stuffs, we din't miss 'em. A friend of Bug, who is vegan sent us a bunch of stuffs from her vegan bakery and wow, it was :liplick: Mostly it was nice, calm, and contented which was the bestest part. :heart:
Last night Bug got a craving for chocolate covered pretzels. Holy :cow: it was weekend traffic on steroids. :eek: But she got 'em and it was worth it. :thumbs:
Today I posted :ladybug: 's Amazon Baby Registry to friends and fambly. My sister Heather bought her the 3 in 1 car seat to stroller and I was just :faint: I mean that wasn't cheap. :ladybug: was so grateful she had tears. So, it was a very cool day for her. I gotta say, Heather is a really lovely person, and I'm so glad we got to bond when I was at the reunion. She's very introverted at first, but once she gets comfortable she is an absolute hoot with a great sense of humor.
So now I'm gonna go and make up a veggie tofu stir fry with brown rice. :liplick: And use my chopsticks. No nasal :electrocute: thingies included. Dang Sig :uhoh:

Thang is it's very simple and lends itself well to multiple other options :yes: The interesting thang is the way the tofu and sesame oil create a rather unique texture and doog flavour.
Thang is I've used this with kale of course BUT it also goes rather well with shredded carrots AND siguie kraut :yes: BUT the best thang is you can quickly dredge in flour OR I likes panko then quick or air fry to make a Karaage type dish.

I haven't tried Shiraae. It sounds like an interesting texture. :thumbs:
Yeah, she loves the Hersheyland ones. She gets these hankerings which is fine, but she gets them at the weirdest times. She has been on a pretty consistent chocolate milkshake thing too. Fruit is a biggie. Apples,peaches mostly. She commented on white chocolate when we went out for the pretzels. She doesn't like it; thinks it's too sweet. I agree though. I never was a fan of white chocolate.
Okay, so I literally binged Wednesday. :ashamed: It was so dang good! Tim Burton did a great job capturing that dark campy humor that made the original show so popular. LOVED IT! But now I have to wait for the next season. Geeze I hope there will be a next season.
My sister Heather is a beautiful woman. Seriously. Tall, slender, elegant with blonde hair and blue eyes. She has that look of a ballerina. She's in her mid-fifties, but she has the Laird genes, and we don't show our age until we get into our 70's. She has a heart of gold, and she's one of these people that doesn't seem to get ruffled by anything. I do love her a bunch. So lucky to have had the chance to bond with her in our adult years.
Okay, so I'm off to try and sleep. We have a freezing rain that is pretty noisy at the moment. I sure hope Asiel watches out for the weather. She made mention of planting.

We went to Jackson yesterday & it was not so bad at all. I've seen worse. :chuckle:
But :boyhowdy: Jackson is gonna get much biggerer faster (development everywhere) cuz Ford is building Blue Oval City just 25ish miles from there. Halfway between Memphis & Jackson will be an electric truck factory, as well as multiple suppliers, etc.
Jackson is preparing for the population explosion.
QuoteThe Ford plan is in motion. On 3,600 acres just outside Memphis, called BlueOval City, we're building our first mega campus in more than a generation - and it's electric. Aspiring to have 100% renewable energy, zero waste to landfill and reusing water means we can help make sure our planet is in it for the long haul
https://corporate.ford.com/operations/blue-oval-city.html
:papa: would have loved this. :yes:
But yesterday was just an ordinary Sunday. :yes:
Peoples were quite friendly, too. :sparkle:

:ladybug: has a due date of Feb 16th. But, we think it might be later because when she gotted her US last week she was measuring 25 wks, not 27 wks. So, maybe more like March 1st? :dunno: She's ready now. But of course we knows that was gonna happen. :chuckle:
It's Moonday. The weather is sorta dreary and moony, so not moving much. :om:

Shiraae is fine but by itself nuthin speeshul :nono: BUT it's like learning to make yer own mustard once you unerstanz the basic principles there's just soooo muches you can do from there :cheer: Like recently I made a kale version which is fine BUT iffen ya take Costco shrimp ... git a pan hot with butter and smoked paprika and garlic then cook one side of the shrimp through ... turn it over for the second side to cook BUT immediately put the kale shiraae over you git a much better siguie brand shiraae thang :liplick: I also flip the thang over another shrimp to crisp up both sides but either way is doog :yes: Also the garlick spiced shrimp butter infuses the kale and the slight bitter is a nice contrast plus you git the crunch of the outside with the creaminess of the sesame oil and it's just really REALLY doog :drool:
Then of course once you realize the shiraae is nearly identical to a spinach ricotta type ravioli ... you can make shiraae fillings and instead of sesame oil garlick oils, leek oils or even a tapenade mixed in :drool: It of course also werks as a dumpling filling and or wonton :wiggle:
Anywho ... yup like mustard :yes: or nasal electrodes :electrocute: soooo many possibilities :bliss:
Speaken of which ...
"She commented on white chocolate when we went out for the pretzels. She doesn't like it; thinks it's too sweet. I agree though. I never was a fan of white chocolate."
:horror:
First of all "most" white chocolate isn't even the ffuts that is labeled "white chocolate" ... the doog ffuts barely meets the 20% cocoa butter minimum :drama: Second ... most ... of the candy white chocolate is just palm oil with old milk solids and too much sugar :yucky:
I happenz to be rather well noed for my White Chocolate Macadamia :stun: Candied Raspberry Ice Cream :wwsd:
Yeah fer realz :yes: iffen ya don't like butter or dense luscious creams then sure perchance you don't like white chocolate :nono: but most people only noes white chocolate as a waxy over sweetened thang falsely claimed to be "chocolate" :guns: :whip:
Srsly though iffen ya gits doog NOT over oxidized doof grade cocoa butter mix it with full fat powdered milk then add just enough sugar to taste ... it's purty dang tasty :liplick: Then iffen you start mixing it with various liqueurs it's just lovely ffuts :drool: not to mention poured over roasted pistachios :happydance:
Like really doog doof ... most people have never tried the really doog ffuts :nono:
I'm really doog about NOT binging :nono: I only watched the first episode of Wednesday so I has 7 mores to go :happydance: I don't sit around well so I tend to watch an hour or two then does sumthin else. So for really nuf shows I tend to watch one per week and has a nice meal setup 'cuz ... iffen you hasn't guessed I does a bit of cooking on occasion :matt:
Cool an ALL :electrocute: truck thang :thumbs:
Hybrid vehichles are so over :unthumbs: ALL :electrocute: :woohoo: :hi5:

Yup, tomorrow will be rain and strong winds gusting to 40-50 mph. But...warm in the 50's . Until the cold front hits in the afternoon. THEN we got the :shiver: and :snowball: swooping down on us.
There's a severe weather warning for tanassi. I hope our dove keeps her head down, and it works out okay. I wonder if she put the seeds in?
So, this Shira ae is interesting. I kinda think I want to use a blend of snowpea pods, carrots, and bella mushrooms. It takes a bit of time, but it's not hard. Of course, I could manage to make it difficult if I wanted to. :bsl: I'm kinda thinking that a tablespoon or two of white miso would be good in it. What do you think?

Miso in anything tofu based is a no :brain: er it should be lubly as the "salt" vs soy sauce :yes:
I recommend just playing with a few thangs 'cuz it's so easy and versatile :yes: Also the main reason I've made so many versions is that when making tofu it's easy to has a little :egg: tra either from cracks or folds one molding and I use these tofu remnants for shiraae :oz: Some thangs werk really well and I highly recommend like in the video :broccoli: rabe shiraae :thumbs: vs mustard greens shiraae :unthumbs:
Dunno about :leisa: planting ... but it does sound like sumthin she'd does :yes: Ya noes daze afores Winter during a severe weather event :whistle: BUT it looks like all of the :twister: s were south of tanassi BUT dang it looks like that state was covered by :rain: with lotsa lightning too :horror: It's still goesing on but the wurst shoulda passed durtytown about 2 hours agoes perchance 3 :yes:
Of course the temps right now are quite balmy in the mid 40's BUT that should change by morning :shiver: :snowball:
In other newses Wednesday ep2 :thumbs: :thumbs:
Didja seez Sandman on Netflix ... that was purty doog :thumbs: and I liked the changes Johanna Constantine :chuckle: they is also setting up for a nice universe of spinoffs :yesss:

Asiel be okay. :cheer: So, I wasn't sure about the seeding. Inside makes sense of course. :bsl:
We are making Christmas on Thursday. I think. Depends on how we're feeling. We ended up in the ER early this morning. :ladybug: had a severe migraine with all sorts of body aches. Long story short, we both have covid. Which makes sense as to why I been so tired and unmotivated and couldn't smell or taste anything for the past 3-4 days. I figured it was just this whole sinus thang I gots going on. :huh: They gave :ladybug: a nice little cocktail of tylenol/regelen/benadryl and it got her a whole lot more comfortable. So we are in quarantine until this coming Monday. They suspect it's an omicron variant. Poor :ladybug: got more severe symptoms than I did. We suspect it was Aldis or Walmart last week. It was crowded, and we weren't masked like we shoulda been. :ashamed:
I love Sandman. It's in my list. I keep thinkin' about Piers Anthony's books on the incarnations of immortality. I know, that's not it, but it sure does remind me of them. :wub: I really liked their rendition of hell. There will be another season, won't there?
I thinks I might try the Shira ae tonight. I have everything I need, including a really good brand of extra firm tofu. I don't have snowpeas, but I do have broccoli. So, I'm thinkin' broccoli, carrots, red onions... :hmm2:
Weather here is unsettled. Patches of rain, wind but not consistent. It's 45F, but we are still under all the advisories. Very dreary light out there.

Hydro-toy-choi :woe: :sigh:
I likes Harvest2000 faux pHo beef broth :yes: it's close enough to real pHo that you can git it there yerself :yes: The :secret: is star anise and cloves ... srsly otherwise it's a basic clarified :cow: broth :yes:
"Indoors, silly. :woe: Just seeding. :p "
:onoes: yer gonna miss the gully washin machine :no:
:flyball:
"And :yes: just an inch or so of :rain: here but I saw 25+ :twisters: southerer of here. :gheart: "
Yup yer lucky most of the :twister: s were one state down but dang it was a LARGE number of cells :uhoh: the peoplez of Louisiana and Alabamy prolly didn't git much sleep :yawn: :coffee:
Though only an inch :scratch: you must have lucked out and the squall line dropped just as the sub-tropical jet-stream moobed westerly :thumbs: It was a very interesting system :yes:
Has nuf making xmases with durt momma :santa: :wave:
"Long story short, we both have covid."
:therethere: thang is over the last 4 or 5 months purty muches eberyone has had covid ... omicron and it's variants are a mixed blessing :console: they is "mild" but more contagious than measles AND without an N95 or better mask ... masking wont help much :nono: It's still a doog idea iffen yer in a speeshul group {like prego's :yes: } 'cuz it reduces the initial viral load BUT yeah it still gits through :therethere:
On the plus side symptoms should poof in 2 or 3 days :yes:
Also as an aside ... siguie right agin :yesss: :irule: ... at this point vaccines are causing more deaths than preventing :uhoh: Now this is a statement that antivaxxerz will use and completely mess up BUT it's true but only corresponds to the multi booster (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif)
It's why ya needz to watch the data and why I didn't want dad getting the 2nd booster :nono: Omicron can reinfect those who have had covid of ANY other flavour :horror: The ONLY reason to git the vaccine is to avoid death/hopsikilization. The first double tap of vaccine werks doog :thumbs: the booster :bump: was doog against eberythang up through Delta BUT Omicron is speeshul and now the original vaccine no werky so doog.
That and the quarantine is kinda stoopid :roll: BUT atleast it keeps unwanted visitors away :yes:
Oooh yeah I liked them incarnations of immorality ... the hour glass was clever, evil was lame :unthumbs: tangled weave or whatever was doog ... iffen only I could read :sigh:
Netflix planning system is kinda wacky but YES 2nd season was planned and CONFIRMED as of a few weeks ago :yesss: The thang is it looks like they are gauging interest and hoping/planning various spinoffs ... like Johanna Constantine etc. ... anywho they seem to has budgets for projects and have to figure out how many spinoffs to does afores they screwup the main shows budget.
In any event it looks like Sandman universe is an active project :thumbs: AND it looks like Wednesday was ALWAYS planned as more than one season AND I thinxz there will be spinoffs of it too BUT not sure what :dunno:
As for shiraae don't git too wrapped up with it :nono: it's a simple thang that has potential :yes: Think of it like scrambled :egg: sby itself it's fine and you can choose tight or loose, mixed with veggies like :tomato: s and ya git sumthin different ... taken further you has frittata's or even :egg: drop soups.
It's all going to depend on what you want, iffen you like that sesame creaminess you want to remove most of the water from the tofu and hence firmerer is beterer :yes: 'cuz oil needs a protein to help with the emulsifying. Iffen ya don't care for sesame oil you can has the creaminess of like silken tofu OR you can basically make a tofu crumble to be like ground :cow: and has the vegetation be just a side texture :oz:
Just give it a try and play to see what you likes :yes: I mean srsly it's just crumbled tofu with some vegetation it wont blow yer socks off :sockpuppet: but it might gives ya some ideas :angel:

I didn't end up making it tonight. I had a stir fry of peas, onions, and brown rice, and BBQ baked tofu strips. I don't know if it was good or not, because I couldn't taste it. :sigh: I think it was. I could faintly smell it, and it seemed like a good smell. But my sense of smell is a little borked too. :gaah:
I've never had pho. It sounds good. It shall be put on the list. :thumbs:
New seasons :excited: Now, I'd like to see them do another season of The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. Because that was actually a lot of fun to watch. But I doesn't think they're gonna.

I gotted a vegan faux chicken powder (faux not pho :chuckle: ) Tho pho is pronounced fuh. :huh:
Anyway...the ffuts is pretty doog. It's Orrington Farms & on Amazon.
The chicken is :egg: cellent so I ordered the variety pack with vegetable, ham, beef & chicken.
The ham has something in it I don't really care for. I used it in bean soup & B & Jacki really liked it. To me it was edible but not much more but I never liked ANY ham except country ham (salt cured).
The beef flavor is super weak so it would take a whole jar to faux flavor a pot of soup and why? :chuckle:
The veggie is axshully pretty doog too tho it is the one I surely did not need. I always has big bags of scraps for veggie brothing myself. :wiggle:
COVID!!! :no:
I tells ya, tho it was quite mild it was also quite ddo in my body. I could feel it moving around...strange mild pains in my head, then legs, then shoulder, then different spot on head & round & round & round. Of course, I am a bit more thenthitive than the average :bear: :chuckle:
I hope Bug (& you) feel better real soon. :vibes: :gheart: :sebiv:
Funny thing... Mom keeps asking if we're gonna get another covid booster & I keep saying, "I just don't know".
She & Zen Aunt got one cuz they are going on a bus trip to NYC on 12/12. :crazy: I noes but they does what they want. :woe:
I just don't feel it necessary. :dunno:
We did plan to get a flu shot but haven't yet got around to it :chuckle: I can count on one hand the number of flu shots I ever had & I don't need hands to count the number of times I've had the flu. I've taken care of both J & B with the flu...and they both have had pneumonia a few times. And Dear Universe, I am not being cocky I am just stating facts that go into my vax or not decisions.
:horn: Energies!!!!! Lighter, but somehow tighter. :huh: Like clashing polarities or somethin. :chuckle:
May the Peace on Earth vibes override the opposite. :sparkle: :peace: :sparkle:
And it's December! :happydance: Ikea already sent me a happy birthday :wish: along with a digital coupon for $10 and a free piece of cake. :wub: :rofl:
Anyway...the ffuts is pretty doog. It's Orrington Farms & on Amazon.
The chicken is :egg: cellent so I ordered the variety pack with vegetable, ham, beef & chicken.
The ham has something in it I don't really care for. I used it in bean soup & B & Jacki really liked it. To me it was edible but not much more but I never liked ANY ham except country ham (salt cured).
The beef flavor is super weak so it would take a whole jar to faux flavor a pot of soup and why? :chuckle:
The veggie is axshully pretty doog too tho it is the one I surely did not need. I always has big bags of scraps for veggie brothing myself. :wiggle:
COVID!!! :no:
I tells ya, tho it was quite mild it was also quite ddo in my body. I could feel it moving around...strange mild pains in my head, then legs, then shoulder, then different spot on head & round & round & round. Of course, I am a bit more thenthitive than the average :bear: :chuckle:
I hope Bug (& you) feel better real soon. :vibes: :gheart: :sebiv:
Funny thing... Mom keeps asking if we're gonna get another covid booster & I keep saying, "I just don't know".
She & Zen Aunt got one cuz they are going on a bus trip to NYC on 12/12. :crazy: I noes but they does what they want. :woe:
I just don't feel it necessary. :dunno:

I noes it's marketing and doog business BUT I really just likes Ikea :happydance: It's always nuf to visit and the employees are actually happy :faint: AND I likes the meatballs :liplick:
As for the booster it's mostly harmless, there are some known side effects and issues ... the :egg: cess deaths are predominantly those already with issues who are getting an additional :bump: ... and basically the data shows you Do NOT git more benefits and conversely the added stress from the vaccine plus side effects produce a negative influence. AKA the vaccine double boost :bump: is just over the tipping point taking you from healthafying to dehalthing :therethere: The first shot gives a BIG healthing :bump: the second :bump: puts the person in the high 80's and 90's with nigh zero chance of dying from covid even Omicron :yes: but after the 4th thangs start going down eber so slightly BUT it's just math. Now sadistics show 4th shot with omicron should be a pass BUT the first two are still no :brain: ers :oz: A boost :scratch: is prolly players choice but I would say pass at this point :angel:
Oh and I haven't been posting about covid but yup siguie right agin :yesss: :irule: it was yet another chinese lab screw up :yes: Some very clever Internet detective werks and a LOT of data basically showed the progression of the searches for flu symptoms. They started around the wuhan labs I thinxz a month afores progressing towards the wet market.
For the most part covid is over :buttkick: time to move on ... ya noes after youse twose recover :therethere:
In other newses ... it's :rain: ing :faint: AND it's a LOT {for us} nigh a whole inch :horror: and perchance another quarter inch by evening :frantic: Also High temps in the low fiddys :shiver: and heavy HEAVY :cloud: cover ... my solar panels have registered only 0.58kW :no: ... which means ... I git to play with heaters :bliss:
... mostly ... it'll be :sun: ny tomorrow then :rain: agin thru moonday so not much cooling BUT a little is better than none :bliss:
People really don't unerstanz the difference between convection, conduction and radiation :roll: iffen they did they wouldn't fall for the stoopid marketing reasonings :wall:

:asiel: Well, yous and mes have some common sffuts. I don't get the flu either. I just nearly bite the dust with the vaccination. :eek: I nursed the kids through the flu and nothin'. In the last couple of years at work it was a mandate, and I gots the one without fillers. But I nebers got flu in all those years before from the patients. So, I ain't botherin' now. Even :ladybug: says you never git it, and gibs me a :hmm: , because she does git it. She got the vaccine and the booster, and stopped right there for all the reasons :sigster: said. So, her symptoms have been worser than mine so far. :( On top of all ready having a rough pregnancy, it ain't been fun. Today she felt almost symptomloss though. :cheer: I, however felt a little bit more weirder today. :huh: I git these waves and then theys gone. The waves are a swimmy head, sudden fatigue where I can barely keep my eyes open, and labored breath, along with a stabbing temporal headache, epigastric pain, and center chest pain. Then it just disdappears. I do feel a general sense of wore out; not any energy. No fever though. That, and my taste and smell are borked. Still. The pain doesn't happen in all the same places at once. It floats....oh wait...am I bein' attacked by IT? :eek: I'm kinda curious about the chick'n powder. I can tells ya what NOT to waste yer money on; Gardein's Turkey Cutlets. :yucky: Actually, I doesn't know what they done, but their products have gone downhill, I think, from when I first used them. Oh, and yeah I makes my own veggie broth too. :thumbs:
:sig: Yes, yes, and yes about all them things with covid. I done suspected alla that from the git go giddyup. 8) You ain't behind. You have a life. I, however, am retired and love my cinema stuffs. So, you'll catch up when you ain't playin' with them cold weather toys. :bsl:
Weather. It be :rain: and :blowme: here, but no snow. Tonight is supposed to be :shiver: with the temps in the teens. But, then it's gonna settle out, and warm up with 50's on Sat. and 40's otherwise. Too bad ya didn't have an experiment place up here Sig. You could test all them toys.
People, like Asiel said, are lighter but some how there's still some focused tension, Hard to describe, sorta like the weather. I'm seeing a lot of reaching out and generosity in the community. But, there's still this underlying feeling of worry. But, the aggressive stuff has lessened significantly.
Then theres this story which had me in tears, it was so amazing. Sorta a :rainbow: moment. It was a Secret Santa gift out in East Idaho. Young woman who was a cancer survivor, fell at work and was severely injured, has had 96 surgeries in the last two years, and just in this past week her Dad died. She got $20k from a Secret Santa person. The news team gave it to her while she was out helping her neighbor shovel out from a snowstorm. She was so genuine and humble, I started :bawling:

Oh the kindness & generosity of peoples almost always makes me :luvcry:
Great story. :yes:
Jacki has been bugging us to go to Ikea. I :wub: it, too. Just to walk around, get ideas, & obliviously...eat. :chuckle:
Plus....that International Market I :wub: is just across the street. :yes: I needs noodles & they is spensive from Amazon & :missing: around here. B has decided he likes udon noodles after eating them at Hana. He also likes lo mein. He no care for rice noodles of any form or fashion. :sigh: Cuz rice noodles are the only non-American (:roll: mock font) noodle available locally.
He's gonna be off from 10AM on the 22 (he has to work half a day :chuckle: ) til January 3 so we will likely go during that window.
My bday gift is good all month. :wiggle:
:sparkle: :ladybug: :sparkle: Sending her so much Love & good wishes for her & that precious new life. :hearts:
:earthheart: It also feels like we are in for more planetary shocks &/or upheavals. I read an intuitive astrologer who said that the turbulence & ffuts we are experiencing now is preparing us for what's to come next year. :scared:
I think I'll pass. :rofl: But that is the beauty... we can pass, mostly, by turning our focuses inward & staying out of the fray (unless it's our life path to be IN the fray :notme: )
No faux turkey cutlets. :no: :bsl:
The ONLY faux anything permitted by Dr Esselstyn is Litelife hot dogs which we do eat occaisionally. They are rather :yucky: tho I never liked hot dogs anyway :chuckle: but topped with my chili from the freezer or saurkraut & lotsa onions & mustard they are an acceptable simple meal. And they satisfy B who is mostly still an omnivore at :heart: :rofl:

SOUP!
:spitcoffee:
Hunting season sucks. More & more hunters 'field dress' but not truly....they just take what they want & leave the rest in the field... OR toss the remains on the bank of the creek. :sigh: The dogs find the scraps & bring them home for snacks.
A :dog: 's gotta do what a :dog: 's gotta do I guess.

I ain't never made any kind of noodle. :nonono: It was not in my southern cooking wheelhouse.
But B & J both love noodles.... B just not loves rice noodles...my favorite. :sigh: Jacki will eat anything.
Oh & I doesn't need an astrologer. :pie: I just thunk it inneresting. And I was reading it on a more personal level rather than global.
Jacki is doing a Christmas chow thingy with Mom tonight so she's staying the night.
WE are gonna take advantage of the childlos window to does some CHristmas shopping. :santa: :sparkle:
Have absolutely no idea what we're getting as she has no idea what to ask for. :crazyeyes:

Yer late :tapfoot:
Yeah well when isn't eberythang getting worserer :drama:
I thinxz thangs just stay the same level of bad more or less all the time ya just git breaks between the different kinds of upheaveling when you is lucky. Of course ideally you invest according to the next event :matt:
It's :rain: ing :ura: and 52°F :yesss: best of all upstairs is 57.2°F which means I can play with heaters :cheer: Downstairs is 63°F 'cuz the dehumidifier/atmospHeric harvester is collecting water AND I'm dehydrating a batch of siguie brand ginger. The asian market had fresh not quite young ginger so I boughted a lot to dehydrate. The trick is to store the dehydrated slices whole then powder when needed :yes:
"I ain't never made any kind of noodle. :nonono: "
It's the same as making pasta but without the :egg: ya noes unless yer making :egg: noodles in which case it's basically the same process :dunno:
:flyball:
Anywho the main thang is "Hydration" the second thang is gluten formation. When done right you git a smooth dough that folds and mooves easily and once cooked has just the right chew :yes: Letting the dough rests lets the water even out in the dough as well as letting the gluton finish forming AND rest.
The tricky part is when rolling out the dough you want to does it fast because thin and flat means LARGE surface area and depending on your humidity that can change thangs :frantic:
Anywho iffen you has two metre/yard sticks lay them on either sides of the dough then roll out. The metre sticks are about the right thickness for the noodles AND they keep the edges straight so it's a quick and easy trick :yes: Personally I likes my udon noodles a little thinner so I'll remove the stick just afores BUT it's purty close :yes:
Anywho one of the thangs I really likes about homemade noodles is you can add ffuts :yes: Like change the salt to garlick salt or just add a little finely grounded white pepper. K those are my two main tweaks BUT they is really doog :yes: Just don't add too muches of anythin or it will interfere with gluten formation ALSO no tweaks to the liquid/water until you unerstanz ffuts iffen you interupt the hydration or gluten formation things turn :unthumbs: fast ... or so I'm told :whistle:
:bean: noodles are better than rice noodles :yes: they are very similar BUT :bean: noodles hold together longer and better. Rice noodles are better made into singapore style curry noodles which you will really likes :yes: It's one of my favourite quick and easy dishes :thumbs: you can also feed a large group fast and you look like ya noes what you is doesing :yes: there's a lot of doof flipping involved :flex:
That said :bean: and rice noodles absorb the broth flavour, wheat noodles in particular Udon "Adsorbs" liquids and especially sauces :yes: In other wurdz udon is more like pasta where you choose the type based on the starchy surface holding onto the liquid and complemented by the texture and chew; rice and :bean: noodles are better for carrying the liquid like a sponge :yes: Of course there are :egg: ceptions like the singapore style noodles :liplick:
Anywho, whenever I make noodles I always make a batch or two :egg: tra then leave one batch in the fridge and any additional batches go into the freezer :angel: Noodle making takes only a few minutes of actual werk but hours of waiting for the ffuts to hydrate or loosen up :gaah: But it's purty easy to time thangs so you are not just sitting there waiting :tapfoot: <= not for :michafire: tihis time
Oh and since B is non-diabetic ... as far as I noes ... I thunked you'd tweak the Dr.E protocol by doesing thangs like adding rice and pasta 'cuz those would also bulk him up PLUS rice and :bean: s give you the complete protein thang. Also you can git no oil no salt bouillon so :boom: easy :peas: y flavour :angel:
Thang is iffen you wanted to edge more completely into the Dr.E protocol then there are all the shiratake and kelp based noodley options :oz:
In other newses ... siguie kraut is easy but I've delved into alternative cabbage based salads AND they is purty doog perhaps a touch too much sugar for Dr.E protocoling and or for diabetics BUT a nice tangy apple cide vinear based cabbage salad is purty tasty :yes: the trick is it's less dressing and more quick pikling BUT still tasty :oz:
Oh and I also gotted the ground turkey from Costco and made a bunch of spicy toppings for thangs like rice, mashed :tater: and of course noodles. The thang is adding the siguie brand kale is actually a PLUS it's a doog side of bitters.
I gotta go play with the heaters :wave: :run:

In other newses ... siguie kraut is easy but I've delved into alternative cabbage based salads AND they is purty doog perhaps a touch too much sugar for Dr.E protocoling and or for diabetics BUT a nice tangy apple cide vinear based cabbage salad is purty tasty :yes: the trick is it's less dressing and more quick pikling BUT still tasty :oz:
Oh and I also gotted the ground turkey from Costco and made a bunch of spicy toppings for thangs like rice, mashed :tater: and of course noodles. The thang is adding the siguie brand kale is actually a PLUS it's a doog side of bitters.
I gotta go play with the heaters :wave: :run:

Noodleology!!! :happydance:
Isn't pasta 'noodles'? I ain't never made any kind of noodles includes pasta. :pie:
And I didn't know Dr E forbids pastas & rice. :huh: Whole grains. That's all his protocol says & we does do whole grains 90% of the time. :yes:
We eat whole wheat spaghetti pretty much once a week. With kale. :woe:
K....Jacki will love noodling. :rofl: Yes I noes that's what they calls catching :carp: with your hands. :oz:

"Isn't pasta 'noodles'? I ain't never made any kind of noodles includes pasta. :pie: "
You should ask an Italian :yes: 'cuz apparently not :nono: :buttkick:
:flyball:
Besides drop dumplings are essentially noodles and that's a southern thang :moon:
Srsly though Biang Biang noodles easy, low resources then :boom: oodles of noodles options :yesss: and then you can go to Udon and eventually ... Ramen ...
Anywho noodles are all different and the recipes used need to respect those differences vive la différence :bliss:
Also yes sometimez spaghetti IS a suitable replacement :yes:
"And I didn't know Dr E forbids pastas & rice. :huh: Whole grains. "
:ooops: Oh yeah right "whole grains" ... problem their is the "bran" part 'cuts and interferes with the formation of gluten which is why you need speeshully fine whole grain flour or whole grain pasta falls to mush too fast :unthumbs: Also you cannot just replace white rice with brown rice :unthumbs: the outer starches are all different and the chew is completely different.
Anywho yes "whole grain" is fine for the Dr.E protocols BUT I was thinkin "real" rice and pasta for the cheating :liplick:
Also keep in mind that the Okinawans that he frequently mentions mostly eat white rice ... sure they eat other grains too but the big difference is the amount of white rice eaten with vegetation espeeshully sea veggies.
The thang is most Americantz cannot even cook Japanese rice {short grain} ... you either need to noes what you is doesing or buy a rice cooker. Long grain rice cooking is stoopid easy so is what most people consider "rice". Well Okinawanz eat short grain white rice which is way WAY starchier.
Thang is iffen ya doesn't has vascular issues nor the diabetus then it's not really a thang :nono: Anywho the thang is it's prolly not so much the type of rice as much as the volume of vegetation that accounts for the benefits. That and keep in mind Okinawanz literally live on an island so purty much eberythang involves walking and carrying ffuts uphill.
At any rate I'm mostly just playing with Nitric Oxide :bump: ing ideas ... it just doesn't seem like it should be that hard to induce one healthy living equivalent of NO per day :dunno:

Boy oh boy. Friday and Saturday was NOT fun. Dang, I was a mess. Didn't feel focused or able to socialize at all, and slept a lot. The epigastric pain was severe, along with tight belly and swelling. I got a little nervous thinking it could be obstruction, but I took one of Bug's regelen and it eased up. I feelz better today. :D
:asiel: There is a pasta made by Banza that is made with chickpea, and gluten free. I uses it for the oldest kid, cuz he loves pasta, but the regular pasta gives him what he calls "rock gut". Anyways it's closest to the pasta we got raised on. It's a bit pricey, but I give it a :thumbs:
:michafire: We're the same here. Mid 30F to mid 40F with rain. We gots a spot of snow that lasted maybe 2 hrs on the ground. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. :uhoh:
Yeah, it's not gonna ease up. It feels like there is a stronger than usual obsession with power; at very local levels right up to global levels. China is lookin' to become closer allies with Russia. That makes me nervous, since both countries aren't really fans of us at the moment. N Korea will hop on that band wagon in a hot minute. I also believe Iran would be receptive to that little club house too. It is what it is. My thinking is being resourceful in a depression era sort of way. But that isn't hard since I'm poor as a church mouse. :laugh:
One on one is what I'm into, and it feels like that same thing is going on with groups of people in small communities. We got each other, and I think we realize that's the only way we're gonna survive the governments globally.
So, off to sleep. Agins. Cuz that's how I heal up. :heart:

We shopped all weekend. :faint: I'm done except for a few stocking stuffers, mostly.
And yesterday the internet was wonky once again. Verizon does not like :sun: flares & ffutses. :nonono:
Banza noodles. :check: I've seen it. :yes: But none of us have problems with gluten so I don't hafta pay the extra monies. :chuckle: We eat whole grain pasta mostly, but here there are limited amounts & sometimes none at all so therefore we eat the regular wheat ffuts. Kroger brand, mostly.
I'm just not a pasta lover, period. Unless it's drenched in olive oil & clams which are both not permitted. :rofl:
It's so easy to shop nowadays. We walk through the store & say, "Can't eat that. Can't eat that. Can't eat that." :rofl:
My cart is 50+% produce, then dried beans, rice, oats,maybe a few canned or frozen veggies & lotsa fruits, frozen & fresh.
kinda like people usta eat before factry foods were a thing. :chuckle: Sans meat, dairy & :eggface: of course.
An old man behind me in line one day looked at our doof on the belt & he asks, "Where's your food? You don't eat that stuff, do you?". I says, "You better believe we do." :chuckle: Then, as in scattering seeds I add, "My husband has
I keep organic chicken breast, salmon & tuna for :b: (or :j: ) when they feel like they need somethin but innerestingly enough, the longer we go without the less they feel deprived. I think we have shifted from 'diet' to 'lifestyle' & it's far less stressful to cook now.
Oh & we are no longer hungry all the time & feel quite satisfied & doog. :yes: I have added back a teensy amount of walnuts, a couple avocados a week (for the 3 of us) and up to a tablespoon a week of California Ranch olive oil for cooking purposes only.
B asked if he could have some on his salad & I said :no:
I'm so mean. :hysterical:
Jacki has already requested spaghetti tonight... ww spaghetti, a jar of the least fatted sauce, and kale or TVP...not both.

" :happydance: Cyber Monday all Levis were 40% off so I ordered him his old 32x36 501s & I got a pair of 70's (real denim) high waisted, flared jeans. :hippy: They'll be here tomorrow. :cheer:

Boy oh boy. I mostly forgot about the website, too. :chuckle: Finding foodstuffs IS an issue here for sure.
And Amazon is sometimes doog but sometimes unreasonably spensive, like for pastas. And lots of ruralites just don't know how to search, online nor in person. :hayseed: Lotsa suburbanites has no clue about the challenges. :elfparty:
Not so long ago I watched a Jane Esselstyn cooking thingy & at one point she says (I don't remember the item), "You can pick it up pretty much anywhere...your local Trader Joes or Whole Foods would have it for sure but also most of the major grocers.".
:woe: :no:
Even the Jackson Krogers don't have many of the items I now use regularly....like silken tofu. They used to carry it but obliviously nobody (cept me :sigh: ) bought it.
We been talking bout getting organized & going to Whole Foods &/or Trader Joe's once a month or so. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
But it takes a whole day. :sigh: And a restaurant meal. :chuckle:

Wednesday is my alter ego :sigster: Yup, that be me. 8)
Very heavy rain most of the day today, and right now it's 50F. No :moon: sightings for us here. Oh wait...that's not the moon I was thinkin' of. :huh: :fullmoon: yeah, that's it. :D
That whole :boom: thang in Hawaii...nope, that is why I doesn't think livin' on a volcanic island is a good thang. :uhoh: I mean, iffin that got worser, how do you get away from that? :eek: Yeah, yeah, I know...it's a paradise. Until it isn't.
I'm gonna try to eat somethin'. Except my appetite has gone the way of my taste and smell. So, somethin' simple like a cup of veggie stew and a grilled cheese.

Thanks you Asiel :wub: Right back at ya...
Yeah, I know it shall goes aways. It's goin' just not fast enough :gaah:
So just leaves it to me to get the type that wants to make chaos in my digestive tract. Not my lungs. Not any real significant respiratory stuffs. It's like universe said, "Hey you gotta get this, but we want you here so we aren't gonna attack your respiratory. Cuz we knows that's yer achilles heel." :hmm2: Still payin' attention. It can do some nasty stuffs there too.
So, I made gnocci bolognese. It was good. I actually had a small bowl, and enjoyed it. I have no idea if it's over spiced though. :huh:
I never ever was an Enid. I'm not sure what I was, but that wasn't it. :bsl: You wouldn't of dated me ever at all. Only feedback I ever got was that I was too independent and intimidating. Mom used to say, "Smile. You might get more interest." :rofl:

...
I axshully bought soybeans at a Mediterranean store in Nashville a few years back. :ashamed:
Wonder if they're still doog? :rofl:
Yes, they last for years :yes:
As mentioned afores soybeans are a main agricultural crop for tanassi :roll:
Ya noes theoretically you could grows yer own :yes: but yeah Amazon sellz it :yes: ...
Soymerica Non-GMO Soybeans - 7 Lbs (Newest Crop). Identity Preserved (IP). Great for Soy Milk and Tofu. 100% Product of USA (https://amzn.to/3BkxzoW) <= Amazon Link
I gotted this ffuts back in 2019 when it was $12 and it was fine :yes: BUT I can git 10 pounds for $5 at an asian market so not really cost effective :nono: I'm purty sure I even has most of this in a storage container :oz:
Anywho here's a reasonable video showing the difference between the proper wasy and using store bought soy milk.
HOW TO MAKE SILKEN TOFU (easily at home!) | Mary's Test Kitchen (https://youtu.be/SrEeLIoTip8) youtube video
The last bit show a "tofu scramble" :egg: cept for the soyt sauce it's purty doog :yes:
The Last 90 secoind or so Tofu Scramble (https://youtu.be/SrEeLIoTip8?t=640) :egg:
The thang is this is a generally doog way to turn silken :carp: into usable tofu curds BUT there is a lot of water to remove :uhoh: I can turn siguie brand soy milk into silken tofu then curds for siguie brand Mapo tofu OR use it to cut ground beast or alter the salt levelz and textures 'n ffuts.
Fer instance my dad likes ground :turkey: which is kind of bland and overly soft textured but gits hard when heated too muches BUT with red and yellow onions caramelized, along with ground :turkey: it makes a doog "shepherd's pie" base. I add the silken tofu to create a more :cow: like texture AND the liquid that comes out gits turned into the gravy after the corns starch is added.
The thang is the tofu scrambles texture depends on how much moisture is cooked out and the textures of the turkey and tofu can be made to be very similar to delicious :cow: :angel:
Anywho, it's also much easier to keep a bottle of siguie brand soy milk in the fridge then use the Instant Pot to make silken tofu when needed :oz:
"So, I made gnocci bolognese. It was good. I actually had a small bowl, and enjoyed it. I have no idea if it's over spiced though. :huh: "
I cannot even imagine how that werks veganized :scratch:

Are ya lakin the no taste thang 'cuz ya noes perchance that's a blessing :yes: I mean srsly have you tasted vegan doof :yucky:

Finely diced carrot, celery, onion, garlic are gently sauteed until pretty. Then I add diced tomatoes and season with salt, pepper, italian seasonings and simmer while my gnocci are cooking; about 2 minutes. Once they are ready I mix them in to the sauce and simmer about another 2 minutes and adjust seasoning to taste (or in my case no taste). Add freshly grated parmesan, and there ya have it. Or, in my case I use a smattering of noosh. :D
Nope, no Enid here. I was pretty intense, and kind of aloof. I loved to dance, and did gymnastics back in the day. My favorite was the balance beam. Except that time when I didn't land a jump and kinda straddled it. That hurt. A lot. :eek: Mom also told me it wouldn't hurt to let the boys win once in a while; at chess, tennis, or whatever I was competing with them. I told her in no uncertain terms if a "boy" won, they won fair and square which was only sensible. If they were a sore loser, then I knew they weren't worth my time. Yeah, I wasn't good at any of that stuff. I spent my spare time hiking, reading, drawing and stuff. Kind of good on my own. Not so good with boyfriends. Or husbands. :rofl:
Asiel, yes we had a :fullmoon: last night. It's the Cold Moon. Least ways that's what the Mohawk from around here called it. But I din't see it here either. :sigh: So, I asked Mr Goggles what the spiritual meaning was. It says it's a time of exploring the shadows and the unexplored places within. Practice introspection. So yeah, it's freakin' cold, and the nights are at their longest. What else is there to do? :ninja:
I went the whole day without pain. :happydance: I ate decent. So, I'm sayin' :bye: to that :blob:

Buh bye :blob: Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. :buttkick:
I think J has a lingering covid thang. :yes: I won't say Long Covid cuz I really don't know & also don't wanna speak it into existence.
But she has twice now in the past month or so had fever blisters pop up (she had fever blisters from the vax...real bad the first time).
It was Tuesday morning when she woke up looking like she'd been beaten up in her sleep. Face puffy & red, nasal congestion, bleary eyes & an emerging fever blister. She took her valicyclovir & I gave her black elderberry syrup.
She quickly began to look better, eyes clear, no fever. But she has been oh so very tired, going to bed at 6 one night, 7ish thereafter& then sleeping til 10 or even 11 on Wednesday. :faint:
She went to a big Christmas concert with Mom on Saturday night so Tuesday was just about right for a flare up.
So maybe it's not lingering covid but just easy, mild reinfection? :dunno:
Most importantly, she's fine. :yes:
Here is a great :fullmoon: meditation that is about releasing all you are not & welcoming in all that you are.

I am off to watch the video now. It prolly is :sparkle: TIME :sparkle:
Before, I didn't use that much tofu & never used silken at all. But now that we are certified WFPB :roll: making tofu is definitely something I needs in my kitchen toolbox. :yes:

She is to take 2 at first sign of fever blister, then stop.
They really work to keep them from developing.
But she only ever got them once every couple years before covid vax, then during actual covid & now twice more.
So a bacterial 'infection' would trigger a virus (herpes)?
Why you picking on Pandora's whatchacallit? :slu:
I betcha she simply followed a recipe that was named what it was. :p
And lotsa people call things things they may not be.
B's family's paprikash is NOT paprikash like in any restaurant or recipe. :nonono:
Just becuz she didn't make it like Alton Brown would make... :nana:

Gnocci binder is a flax egg, and yeah they's easy to make. Fight me. :rofl:
So, the first "boy" to beat me in chess was my college sweetheart. He was a chemistry major from NYC who used to go to the park and play the timed chess games since he was a little kid. Yeah, he was sorta smate. He ended up working for Cornell. We were together for 3 years, and he really helped me hone my chess skills. I din't never get beat after that. I broke up with him cuz he cheated on me, and he kept hitch-hiking to Cali to "find himself"...and cheat on me some more. He showed up with an engagement ring about two weeks after I left him. I said no. That was the last I saw him. Then I dated another Cornell mechanical engineering major. HE went to Cali too, and wanted me to go with him. Again, I said no. I decided to move to MA. and that's the left turn when I shoulda maybe gone right. :dunno: Either way, it's been interestin'. Can't make this stuff up. :bsl:
Asiel, I wonders if J's T-cell count is real low, and iffin stuffs could be done to get the numbers up, it might help this lingering stuffs? I'm sure Sig is gonna chime in on that. It's mostly a gut response I got as I was reading what you said.

"So a bacterial 'infection' would trigger a virus (herpes)? "
Yes :yes:
Think of "Fever Blisters" as a stress indicator ... they often show up afores a cold or flu because the body is stressed and it's quite likely where the name "fever blister" originated :yes:
The blisters themselves are "herpes simplex virus type 1" aka HSV-1 ... the covid vaccine (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) didn't partner up with the HSV-1 just to mess with her :nono: her bodies immune system was stressed 'cuz the vaccine made it think a new invader was trying to take over :frantic: This "stress" effect allowed the HSV-1 an opportunity to blister out :guns:
When she has a cold/flu/covid flavour of the week whatever THAT could be an opportunity for HSV-1 too :no: however when the blisters appear somewhat after a cold or flu it's more often a secondary infection {or general life stresser} jumping in afores the body has had time to recover :gaah: This is espeeshully true when the blistering is particularly bad :uhoh:
As for the medications yup they is amazin antiviralz :yes: the thang is the drugs themselves {based on acyclovir} are nigh completely non-toxic and the human thymidine kinase has essentially no interest however the viral thymidine kinase converts it into an incredibly toxic pHospHate then onto tripHospHate that completely halts viral replication :thumbs: My issue is how the TOXIC tripPhospHate mass-O-death is eliminated in the body :uhoh: ... mostly ... it's filtered and flushed away :bye: The prolem is mostly isn't ALL and there's a doog amount of stress put on the kidneys :sofa: Anywho use when necessary :yes: and as infrequently as possible because viruses become resistant to these thangs pretty quickly which is why there are so many analogues :horror:

Yes, it's a :button: but a proper bolognese is a slooowly cooked dish with multi layerz of flavour and it's very tricky 'cuz a lot of the ingredients are overpowering like "LIVER" and getting the cream just right isn't at all easy 'cuz milk does not like slow cooking especially with :tomato: which can make it curdle iffen you got the pH wrong :no:

Okays. FIRST there is no celery or carrots in a "simple spaghetti sauce". There is definitely garlic, onion, and bell peppers. Maybe mushrooms iffin yer in the mood. The tomatoes are not diced, they're crushed or even pureed, and seedless. So, definitely a difference between my "simple sauce" and my bolognese. Don't you even think about arguing my sauce. I was raised in NY with a 1st generation Italian family. :club:
Second, bein' a vegan doesn't mean eberything tastes :yucky: Including my bolognese. Iffin ya want, I can add impossible ground burger and some plant-based milk, and then we can argue some mores. But, I like it as it is, and I'm not gonna. AND I'm still callin' it Bolognese. :nana: :laugh:
So, neat story of the day. Girl does a tiktok featuring her mom's taco shop. Said mom has struggled; having a stroke, and she is recovering but they's struggling to keep her shop open, and mom's afraid she's gonna have to close it down. The shop was super quiet, and very few customers in the tiktok. Within an hour of posting it, they had lines of people at the shop. Some coming from almost an hour away to support the local business. Mom was in tears, thanking everyone for their support, and how it felt like a "Christmas Miracle" :wub: :angel:

OK that's a cool tik tok xmas miraculum story :xmastree: :santa: :wubsigh: :thumbs:
Yer arguments not so muches :unthumbs: :therethere:
I said spaghetti sauce as in anythin you throw on spaghetti 'cuz it is AND it's trivially simple yer argument is denied :unthumbs:
I neber even claimed it was a Marinara or nuthin :nono: Ya see iffen ya claimed yer sauce was a "vegan" Puttanesca with anchovies replaced by tamarind or even left out it would make sense iffen ya used :tomato: , capers, olives, and red pepper flakes BUT noooo Apparently 1 vegan Bolognese is like a vegan Béchamel ... just flour :scratch: how does that werk? :whistle:
Nope not Bolognese BUT sure it's vegan alrighty :yes: :horror:
:flyball:
" Iffin ya want, I can add impossible ground burger and some plant-based milk, and then we can argue some mores"
Nope 'cuz THEN you'd be right :cheer: :yes: 'cept about that vegan :carp: not tasting like :carp: :muaha:
"Just straight, of courses ..."
:woe: it's fine like that BUT sooo muches better with soooo many other thangs like siguie brand Grand Marnier truffles :drool: or siguie brand dipped :strawberry: then injected with Grand Marnier (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) OR even just a little in siguie brand :coffee: or faux espresso :drool: OR it's number one {most frequent application} siguie brand candied grapefruit peelz dipped in chocolate :drool:
Those and siguie brand rum ballz have started numerous minion fights :gayfight: :muaha:
"She's fine right now & we will definitely limit the med. Ya know Zen Aunt has been taking one of the cyclovors for I think 7 years now. :faint: Ever since she had the herpes blister IN/ON her eye. Cuz every time she tries to stop the virus comes back & the eye doctor has to scrape it. :uhoh: "
Yup that's the thang though for shingles in particular it should be less of an issue ... the whole development of resistance thang :hmm2: Active virus notoriously burn through the drugs developing numerous resistances quickly BUT inactive viruses like for shingles "should" be slooower about developing resistance BUT it happens :horror:
The thangs to remember is that antiviralz never werk completely :nono: in the end the body needs to finish it off OR the thang goes quiescent ... until next time ... Also antivirals have more side effects and problems than antibiotics in general AND many of them are worser and can occur or accumulate over time. As in some people over use an effective antiviral then :boom: side effect city :no:
Use as needed but ONLY when needed :angel:

Speakin' of grapefruits. I grabbed a bag of what I thought was oranges. And now I gots a bag of grapefruits. :huh:
Sorta magical that was. But it's ebil magics cuz the only one that ever liked grapefruit was mom. Either I experiment with said oranges in disguise, or I find somebody who likes em. Any grapefruit recipes that don't taste quite like grapefruit up anybody's magic sleeves?

WowZerz what a coinkidink :yesss: :happydance:
Soooooooo many options :no:
Well obliviously whatever you does save the peel for candifying :yes: A personal favourite when there are many on hand is siguie brand grapefruit soda :liplick:
I'll first convert it to it's lemonade equivalent by zesting the rind ... doog bye candied peel :bye: and adding it to sugar to produce the oleo-saccharum ... not to be confused with oligosaccharide ... it needs atleast an hour but over night is bestest :yes: Juice the remainder and use it to dissolve any remaining crystals in the oleo-saccharum. Add water to taste but make sure it's a little sweeter than you want. Then chill and carbonate {I use a sparkle} and enjoy :happydance:
You should try and figure out what is it about grapefruit that ya don't like for most it's overpowering sour for others it's the bitter twang and for others it's just too much all together or at once and they like it in small bits 'cuz there are a bazillion recipes and some of the best salads are made with grapefruit. Oh and I also save the seeds to make siguie brand grapefruit seed :egg: tract and or powdered seeds :angel:
Oh yeah that's right iffen you want to make up names for ffuts just remarket it to Pandora brand Bolognese :yes:
FYI: :horn: There is a HUGE {by west coast standards} :rain: with the dip in the polar jet stream this is gonna mean issues for durt central in 1 to 3 daze and :snowball: :shiver: to the east coasters in 5 daze or less ... just so ya noes :wiggle:
Srsly 2 inches in 8 to 10 hours means BIG and heading your ways :horror:

:no: We are super wet from our weekfull of :rain:
My rain gauge broke cuz I left it out to freeze :ashamed: but a bucket outside tells me we gotted at least 8" over the past week (minus whowever much the critters drank :rofl: ).
Y'all's sauciness is quite entertaining. :hysterical:
Pandora says, "Don't you even think about arguing my sauce." & I heard it loud & clear. :hysterical:
A real :pillow:
And yeah...Grand Marnier in coffee... :sigh: My friend Dwayne, along with the bartender, Cricket, got me hooked on Grand Marnier in my coffee. While I worked. :ashamed: Twas only fitting that we drank while we worked cuz the manager & Chef both did so quite openly. Gotta love the 80's. :rofl:
In a side note, the manager, Elvis, was Tina Turner's cousin & once toured with her & I just saw where hers & Ike's son, 62, has died. :candle:

I been reading about Japanese milk bread. Hokkaido.
Does one who knows kemystery as well as cool-n-airy ffutses think it would work with oat milk?
Or soy or almond but oat is thicker & creamier.
Or is there a lactose thingy that cannot be replaced?
The rolls I saw a photo of looked very much like my grandmother's dinner rolls of which nobody has the recipe for. :sigh:
It wouldn't have surprised me if she had used milk in her rolls cuz she always had :cow: & fresh milk.
Same with her fruitcake. :( She also made the BEST fruitcake & nobody else in the fambily knows how. :dangjustdang:

Solly more :rain: AND prolly some severe weathery issues like :twister: ffuts :sofa: You all git that gulf moisture and it don't play nice with cold air :therethere:
Anywho best case scenario is :rain: and lots of it :yes:
Also that's NOT arguing :nono: that's just me politely pointing out discrepancies and major deviations in personal realities :whistle:
SUNDAY :ura: :cheer:
We're in a :sun: break so my solar panels are soaking it in at 6.41kW currently which puts me over the top for the day :woohoo: and then :rain: is :egg: pected in about an hour continuing to :wheee: in the morning :bliss:
Today I'm gonna play with a ... EMF Meter (http://emf%20meter) :happydance: I has a Natural EMF TriField EMF meter which is Awesome but analog and cost ~$250 :faint: This new meter is only $18 digital AND in theory nearly as accurate ... or is it :hmm2: ... we shall see :happydance:
Srsly the Chinese knockoff companies have been slooow to git this circuit out ... no doubt due to covid :fist: thang is K2 meters were stoopid easy to make from a Hall sensor and not accurate in any real way plus only measured one axis {maybe two :scratch: } In any event this thang will likely measure only one axis BUT iffen it does it relatively accurate THEN :woohoo: a cheap :ghost: busting toy :yesss:

So..I can make grapenade? :bliss: Now I'm inspired. In my personal reality that is. :D
Yeah, ummm.....personal albeit subjective realities....cannot have discrepencies, by their very nature. We do not operate outside of our reality. So said personal reality is the true reality for us. Now, a collective reality which we all occupy has many discrepancies. But what parts of it are our perception of reality on a subjective level, and not the gestalt? So nuh, uh...my reality is perfectly logical, and yours ain't. :nana:
Yeah, I woke up to :snowball: It was quite unexpected. We got mayhap an inch or so, and this thin little blanket survived the day. Looks like scatterings of light snow showers with Tuesday being clear, then slowly morphing into something of a mix/mess on Thursday. How much they aren't sayin'.
I heard about Tina's son too, Asiel. :candle: That is her 2nd son to go before her, I think. She is one tough lady; the life she has journeyed. :wub: So, thanks to :sigster: I made spaghetti sauce today. After all that, I got hungry for it. Dang, kemist... :rofl:

Subconsciously that's what you always was wanting :therethere:
"Yeah, ummm.....personal albeit subjective realities....cannot have discrepencies, by their very nature. ..."
:woe: Of course they can :buttkick: ALL realities "can" have discrepancies :yes: it's one reason why some people believe we live in a simulation BUT more importantly iffen your personal reality is just the :brain: s interpretation of the major senses there are all sorts of discrepancies possible. Take taste for instance that's part taste buds signaling the :brain: which mixes in the textural information along with the olfactory info then runs it by your :mushrooms: overlord which tellz you iffen you likes it. Discrepancies amok running :no:
:chuckle: also don't fergetz the 3 domains of self ... actual, ideal and ought selves ... these all factor into perceived reality and whicheber reality you decide is yers is gonna be a mixture of what is, what you believe "is" ad what you want to be "is" :yes:
"So..I can make grapenade? :bliss: Now I'm inspired. In my personal reality that is. :D "
Yup :yes: the oleo-saccharum is a game changer :yes: So are "Bitters" :thumbs: which you can readily purchase on Amazon For instance Grand Marnier is a mixture of brandy and triple sec PLUS the key ingredient Orange Bitters :liplick: I highly recommend Woodford Reserve Orange Bitters and their other bitters but I mostly use the orange one :angel:
Oh and bitters are a whole thang unto themselves not only in mixology :nono: but a whole host of receptors are triggered or not based on what bitters you looks at :yes: Oh and recently I gotted durty ghurl and associates to try a zinc sulpHate solution ... thang is when you is deficient in Zn there is no or very little bitter flavour BUT when you has plenty it's soooo bitter :yucky:
The point ... the oleo-saccharum is imbued with some grapefruit bitters :yes: They is some of the same compounds found in grapefruit seed :egg: tract so add healthful properties as well as doog tastes :angel:

:snowball: to Pan.
We still gots :spring: weather. Looks like one more week of that then we gets :shiver:
Mom & ZA head to NYC today on a BUS! :scared: But really, I am happy they are doing what they want (or are they? :hysterical: )

K, so I am done with so-called 'masterclasses' forever! :woe:
I went to a Heart Health Masterclass awhile back tthat was supposed to be FILLED with valuable information & it was a very, very, very basic 'class'. Nothing new to me.
Then today I went to a 12/12 Masterclass that was supposed to have been all about guiding us through the 12/12 portal or some :blah: and it was a total waste of time. :sigh: For me. I'm not saying it wasn't of value to others. But it was stuff I/we went through 20+ years ago. And irrelevant to my lifestyle or where I'm at.
So for the record I am offishully done.
If I ever do this again & admit it y'all have my blessing to :slu: or :buttkick: me!

The vast majority of :woo: is marketing and iffen enough people show up then most people will feel it's legit whether it is or isn't :therethere:
I guess this means yer a :woo: master :chuckle:
"I really don't get the simulation thingy. :crazyeyes: ..."
Oh it's simple assuming there are only 5 senses yer objective reality is based on the sensations gathered from those senses as interpreted by yer :brain: This means if those sensory inputs can be manipulated sufficiently well, you can be made to feel or believe the whurled is whatever someone wants you to believe it is ... think The Matrix ... same idea really :yes:
The wacky part is that Sergeant Pete believes it's flat or domed or there are controllers ... realistically there is no information so no way to tellz anythin about the outside "reality" :nono: he's just :stun: :oz:
That said theirs an innerestin phenomenon called "pHantom Touch" in VR ... you are able to interact with people in VR and there are occasions where people "feel" a persons touch even though data for that sensation is not transmitted. Yer :brain: is adding the feelz :oz:
The real question is how much of a sensation in reality comes from nerve stimulus or in other wurdz how much of what you feelz is real? :share: Also are YOU the man behind the curtain or is some one/thing manipulating you :horror: Ya noes other than the :blob: and :mushrooms: overlords :wiggle:
Well it looks like there is a line of severe weather coming yer way in the next few daze :uhoh: but other than :rain: the :twister: s should be south of tanassi though it looks like Pan is gonna git a lot of frozed water ... yeah I don't noes how to call it but sleet or snow and then the whole lake effected ffuts :dunno: BUT it's arctic cool :shiver:

Yoka Asiel, I'm sure Sg Pete has some redeeming qualities, but flat earthing ain't one of 'em. Yeah, that is definitely a discrepancy in the collective reality. Or just :crazy: Watch, in the end he'll be the one who was right all along. :uhoh:

Masterclasses. I don't even know what they are. :huh: I do know that spiritual side you talked about is not gonna work for you. You're way ahead of that curve.
I now have a 🎄 :sparkle: But I'm not allowed to decorate it. :ladybug: has decreed I must wait for her.

What a cute, tiny widdle Christmas tree. :wubsigh: :chuckle:
Thanks, Pandora. :hugs: The person hosting the 'masterclass' has some really doog guided meditations but the class was more like a motivational speaker... more :brain: & psychobabble than 'real'.
So Sig... I get it. :yes: And Sgt Pete may actually have been 'programmed' as :bear: insisted most military peoples are. :sigh:
As for redeeming qualities... super hard worker & willing to do anything. But truly paranoid & unstable. :(
Many times I've wanted to hire him to help do this or that but I just don't want to open that door again. :nonono:
He wanted to bring his yurt here. :eek: Help out around the place...get goats, cows, every form of edible or milkable animals.
And he seemed to enjoy telling me about how he killed his niece's :rabbit: & made stew. :huh:
Yep. Weather's coming tonight/tomorrow they say. 12/10 was the anniversary of the :twister: :twister: in Mayfield KY & just up the road in Dresden.
:sparkle: :umbrella: :sparkle:

"I now have a 🎄 :sparkle: But I'm not allowed to decorate it. :ladybug: has decreed I must wait for her."
Yeah that seems about right :yes:
So go decorate the tree afore she can :muaha:
Srsly yer the mom of her you gits to make the rulez :club: or ya noes so I'm told :whistle:
As for yer weather you so lucky :sigh: we is 49°F and mostly :sun: ny all we gotted was a temperature dip to 35°F :drama:
Dang looks like :twister: s near Oklahoma :sofa: AND yeah purty muches as :egg: pected eberywherez else :yes: Yeah yer area of the state is a purty tough call :hmm2: BUT :shiver: is an easy prediction :mina: :therethere:
Hmmm as I recall you was partial to radiator style heaters De'Longhi I thinxz :scratch: what does ya thinxz about Mica Thermic Panel heaters :oz: .... they is a little like Radiator heaters but are a cross with carbon crystal heaters. There's no oil :nono: but there is Mica ... :michafire: no not that one ... the stone ... though come to think of it :tapfoot:
Basically the mica heats up and sends off Infrared :vibes: like a carbon crystal panel BUT there is also a convective effect like with radiator heaters. The thang is it feelz like the :sun: or a :campfire: heat radiation :vibes: and iffen you can direct it at youse or a large mass like a :brick: wall it SUDDENLY becomes very efficient and effective :yes:
I gotted this one in white ... De'Longhi Mica Thermic Panel Heater (https://amzn.to/3YlPsNX) <= Amazon link ... for downstairs and it's the main heater :angel: to keep the house at 63°F so no mold :mushrooms: There's also no fan so no noise :yes: and I'll be lending it to dad to see iffen he likes it at night :oz:
I put a carbon crystal heater in my room to keep it at 61°F and like the mica heater it :vibes: InfraRed and it's a rather pleasant type of heating AND agin no noise :nono:
And for anyone interested I has small carbon crystal heaters that can run off 5V powerbanks and you can use them in clothes to keep warmz. Yes, I noes you can buy powerbank hand warmerz :whatever: I likes making my own ... and one for dad ... but with a variable temperature switch :whistle:

Asiel, I wondered if you were gettin' weather today. I was gonna ask. Sounds like it ain't snow. But cold for you folks, so stay bundled up.
Our weather is supposed to start tomorrow, beginning with the mix, then going to snow. They're sayin' about 5-8 inches when all is said and done by Saturday. See we have a little front moving in just before the bigger front. They calls it a frontal boundary move. :huh: I just have visions of basketball when I read that. :laugh:
So far I got nothin'. Mostly because I've not gone "out there" yet. So, life is snug and uneventful. :thumbs:
I've revisited David Copperfield by Dickens. It was always my favorite story of his. I haven't read it in years, and I'm enjoying it. I remember it was the opening paragraph that caught me back then, and I still believe it's one of the best opening set of lines ever for a novel. :wub:

Snug & uneventful is my favoite place to be. :wub: :laugh:
And ya made me google the first chapter cuz I haven't read that :book: since maybe middle school.
Me too, born on a Friday at 11:55 PM. Under the light of a :fullmoon: nonetheless.
Now I understand! :rofl:
We're still 57 degrees. Rain off & on. Seems the worst weather is southerer of here & multiple :twister: s have touched down.
2 reported killed already. :candle: :candle: And then later today the violent storms are headed more towards Nashville & east of there.
I feel it though. :stars: Quite unsettled.
I'm a bit concerned about Mom getting home safely (on a BUS :eek: ) from NYC. She called this morning & it was a sunny tho chilly day there. They were visiting the 9/11 memorial this morning then dinner & Radio City Rockettes tonight.
I was encouraged that the bus driver said they may hafta skip the backstage tour in the morning cuz he wanted to hopefully beat the storms. They head back home tomorrow.
Last time Mom & her 2 sisters went to NYC they went up in the WTC. It was 2 weeks before they came down. :sigh:
There were other lesser happenings after Mom & her 2 sisters travelled together, so much that we all called them harbingers of doom or even curses. :rofl: But Mom said that ended when Travelling Aunt died & that she & Zen Aunt would not portend anything.

If the driver leaves before the mid-after noon, it should be okay, Asiel. I no you worries, but it's gonna be fine. :thumbs:
Yeah, it's :shiver: right now, but not the bad frigid cold. We're at 27F but no real :wind: to make it worser. This is more like normal. It's the December snap we gits. All this snow mix will likely not stay and it'll be snowless for the holiday. That's usual too. I ain't goin' nowheres 'till Saturday. :nono: We were out a bit today, and I'm not the only one getting stuff to stay in for the next two days.
I was cheered up by my favorite holiday house down the road from me. It had all the giant holiday inflatables with the lights and stuffs going. It's just so :magic: :wub:
We finished the 🎄 tonight, and it's all :sparkle: with the ornaments and garland. :ladybug: remembered Christmas past. :bliss:
It made Christmas present :rainbow: I gotta say, this grandson of mine isn't even here yet, and he has the most loot under the tree. :laugh:

It has begun. :shiver: We are expecting a mix of sleet and snow with 40mph winds now through Friday evening. Total accumulations are estimated up to an inch of ice and up to 10" of snow. The snow is going to be wet and heavy. :snowball:
Lots of stuff has closed like the schools and other functions. I am hearing the sirens all ready. :gaah: Folks oughta know better around here. Mostly though these accidents happen to transients, not locals because of I-86.
I'm ready. Sorta... Now I can't avoid housework. :sigh:

That's alotta :snowball:
I've been in constant contact with Mom. They left early so as to get out before it hit but around Allentown they ran into the snow.
Her driver seems better than some. They stopped at a Love's to kill time cuz as I told Mom, they were driving exactly head on into the storm so they would be on the other side in half the time if they were sitting still. :huh: Dunno if that made sense grammatically but intuitively it shoulda. :hysterical:
It got cold here. :sigh:

Lots of places we can/will eat but Mom won't like any of them. :sigh: She would go, & not complain, but it's Christmas Eve, she thinks she's supposed to eat turkey & dressing or prime rib or at least salmon. Those places have nothing we can eat other than maybe lettuce. :chuckle:
We are maybe gonna go & walk around Opryland Hotel. The atmos is :wubsigh: 9 acres of indoor atriums :treehug: with even a 'river' and a boat ride running throughout. They decorate & light from top to bottom for Christmas. :sparkle:
Anyway... I'll keep looking. :wiggle:
Need some Christmas :magic:

Well yes. We are in our own little weather bubble. However, it has been steadily snowing since this morning. But, I'm not seeing the sleet, nor the wind. I'm relieved it snowed before there was any ice. If the ice starts later, then it'll be over the snow like a crust, but easier in the long run to shovel, and not be slippery. I don't know what tonight/tomorrow will decide to do. They be talking about a lake effect in the middle of all this.
I baked a sweet potato pie, then made a Spanish sofrito with rice. I made a baked potato, candied carrots, and fish sticks for :ladybug: She doesn't like rice. She is still having the lingering covid stuffs.
Heck, Asiel, it almost sounds like it would be easier to make a Christmas buffet at home. Can has the stuffs for Mom, and then the other stuffs for you around it, sorta like maybe some stuffs could crossover? Our Christmas Eve dinner has always traditionally been stuffed shells with a big salad, and garlic bread. Then Christmas day is left-overs and sort of a pick yer own stuffs buffet that is sort of brunchie. Good luck kiddo, I hope you finds a place.

Yeah, I agree about home cooking. Jacki is the one who wanted to do something. She said our Christmas Eve dinners were "boring". :rofl: B & I love going to see the plants and decor but we can go another time.
He's off work from noon on the 22 thru January 3 so we can go after Christmas.
:dunno:
And yeah, Sig, you're :secret: right. :pie:
I will get her some coconut water. :yes: She's been totally perky & happier than usual all day so all that sleep seems to be doing her doog. :rofl:
Weather bubbles... :yes: And :crazy: weather. Sometimes Mom or I can get 2-3" variation in rainfall and we live 3 miles apart.
Buddy, my grandfather, usta marvel at that. He was always a weather watcher & rain measurer. Guess that's where Mom, then I, got it. But whenever I saw him after a good rain first thing he'd ask was, "How much rain did you get?". :wub:

Coconut Water sounds like a good thing. :thumbs: Just don't get Bai..theirs had green coffee beans in it. She'll be a whole lot perkier than is good. :eek:
So, make the dinner out a birthday dinner. Since you're the birthday girl you get to pick. Then it will be festive, edible, and not boring. :D
So, I ate 2 slices of my sweet potato pie. :liplick: Now I'm sleepy. It's still snowy. I'm off to bed to dream of peppermint sticks. :bliss:

Quote from: SpaceweatherSOLAR ACTIVITY INTENSIFIES: After months of relative calm, the sun burst back into life yesterday with a remarkable series of M-class solar flares. The fusillade ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere and caused a rolling global shortwave radio blackout. If current trends continue, an X-flare may be in the offing, with at least one dangerous sunspot directly facing Earth. Updates @ Spaceweather.com

Oh Mom is a super traditional sort. :uhoh: She's loosened up a bit in recent years but not on some thing.
She has to take us all our for my birthday. Or at least get take out & a DQ cake (cuz that's what I've loved since the 70s). :chuckle: I guess I will go along like last year & agree to the mini DQ cake. The others can eat most of it...I will take a teensy piece to satisfy Mom. But my birthday was NEVER allowed to be celebrated with Christmas...even now . :huh: :wub: :rofl:
And then we spend Christmas Eve with her.. We've only missed one since 1961 & that was their 'fault'. :chuckle: It was our first year here in TN & they chose to be in OH becuz my nieces were still home & come here on the 26th.
And then Christmas morning she comes here for breakfast & Santa-ing.
And then we watch bassetbawl. :bsl:
I am ever more aware that any Christmas (any day for that matter) may be her last. She, Zen Aunt, an Uncle in OH & Aunt in TN are all that's left of their siblings & spouses. 12 of them to start & we saw all of them every Christmas. The other Aunt & Uncle are Dad's siblings. But Mom gets what Mom wants. :righton: B agrees. His parents have been gone since 1986 & 2004
We've always been a Christmas Eve celebrater with my folks...Christmas Day was with B's.
Gotta get groceries today. :wiggle: 4x fuel points on Fridays. I earned $1 off per gallon last month by shopping Fridays. :cheer:
SO I will pick up coconut water. Thanks for the head's up on Bai. :hi5: Caffeine makes her super super chatty. :blah: :blah: :blah:
And I will look closely at whatever I can find.
Boy oh boy that :sun: ffuts is really somethin. :sofa: :tinhat:
I been looking forward to the Return of the Light but I didn't think it in that manner. :no:
So therefore I feel it important to be with her on Christmas EVe & if she wants I'll even help cook the poor :turkey: & make the cornbread dressing.

Totally understandz about Mom, Asiel. :heart: I like colorful too. :rainbow: When I make a veggie stir fry, I go for balancing the colors. It just looks so nice.
:sigster: That sounds :liplick:. I still really miss a good salmon steak. Used to be I made a broiled salmon steak, rice, and steamed asparagus. It was a perfect meal in my mind. I now use salmon tofu, which is almost as good.
We almost bit the dust last night. :faint: One of my rear burners on my gas stove got turned on just enough to leak but not ignite. We discovered it and ended up having to air the house out. So, then we had to worry about :shiver: to death instead.
The snow has calmed down, and right now it looks like all we have is about 3". There was a little bit of mix, but not a lot, and it was brief. It wasn't so bad in my little weather bubble. :thumbs: Temps are gonna drop though. Talking about the teens.
Our spaceweather seems to be a whole other story. :eek: After the news Sig posted I went to the Space Weather site, and the had this:
Sunspot AR3165 is crackling with M-class solar flares, more than 16 in the last two days. Pulses of extreme ultraviolet radiation are ionizing the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing frequent shortwave radio blackouts. The blackout events are regional, like this one, but they are rolling around the globe as Earth turns beneath the flaring sun.

Pandora!!! :eek: AS we often say around here about so vary (misspelled on porpoise) many things.
"That was a close one!" :hearts:
The new Hana "fast casual" restaurant offers a salmon skin salad. :uhoh:
AT one time in my life I woulda loved that. At one time I craved fats, my favorite being the crispy bits after baking the pork butt that had previously been pressure cooked. :scared: I also loved pork rinds...with Red Hot. :yes: Or any other meaty crispy bits. :drool: :rofl:
But for me it's been years. I mean like 20 years, since I sometimes could eat meat & sometimes got nauseous.
Scratch that. I've always been that way. :bsl: It's just that I trained myself to override my emotions becuz it had been drilled into me. 'Just eat a little bit & you can go' Mom would say. 'I don't really care much about it either but you gotta eat at least a little to survive! :eek: '
Kinda same way I trained myself to accept cigarettes. :smokes: Conditioning, addiction, :whatever:
I can honestly say I have no cravings now. At first...cheese! :tantrum: And Greek Yogurt even tho I knew it constipated me. :laugh: Any dairy did, actually.
Child's finger painting of unicorn vomit! :spitcoffee:
Speaking of unicorns, and emotions & ffuts. I just had a revelation that I felt animal emotions ...fear mostly but also a melancholy/sadness. Yeah :whatever: I noes I am proudly Kaerf! :asilly: :hysterical:

unicorn vomit... :rofl: So, :sigster: salmon is the color of the tofu, and along with a couple other little things, it looks and almost tastes like salmon. :thumbs: Bonus it's fun and kind of artsy to make. :D
I miss certain things once in a while, Asiel. My Grand-daddy's (Mom's Dad) fried chicken, and his fried catfish with hush puppies. My other Grandpa's calamari. But mostly I'm good. I know I miss these certain things once in a while because childhood nostalgia.
I have this game I play called Fairyland, I mostly play it now in memory of Jenal. We get to name our garden and our fairy helper. My garden is called Celestial Reasonings, and my helper fairy is Jenal. She loved that game, and we played together back and forth. :wub: Anyways, there's this one player who just cracks me up. She calls her garden "Back to the Fuschia" and her helper fairy is "I wet my plants". :rofl: I had to share cuz I knows you like a good pun like I do.
8) :headbang: Oh, and to quote Pink's song Raise Your Glass:
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
:wub: the song. Me and the kids used to rock that song together at blast volume. :chuckle:

OK here goes ... I am such the wrong person to be posting this :drama: ... iffen ya wanna play vegan and eats yer catfish or any fish :horn: :banana: Blossoms :yes: Fer realz :yes: :horn: NOT tofu :slap:
Srsly there are tons of perfectly acceptably doog meat alternatives ... just flavourwise :mushrooms: are quite doog but iffen you want faux deep fried "cajun style" siguie brand catfish :banana: Blossoms :yes: Iffen ya want faux pulled pork Jackfruit :oz: AND for the bestest nigh indistinguishable from real :cow: siguie brand Seitan :thumbs: though that one isn't actually vegan ready :whistle:
Goto youtube and search "Banana Blossom Fish" it's like a vegan fish alternative that's been noed for years. No it does not taste like salmon :nono: ... it doesn't "taste" like muches of anythin :nono: BUT is does has a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) texture AND you can flavour it howeber ya likes AND it can be deep fried doog too :angel:
Srsly though a little cider vinegar, miso, brown sugar then salt, pepper and smoked paprika maybe lemon/grapefruit for the bitter zest and it will look close enough to salmon to fool most peoplez and taste like a properly flavoured salmon :yes: That said :banana: Blossoms was what I used to make siguie brand faux (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) & :fries: :thumbs:

Oh :sigster: ya'll need to remember the KISS rule afore's you get werked up. :rofl:
Salmon is a range of pinkish-orange to light pink colors, named after the color of salmon flesh. The flesh of the salmon fish is salmon-colored. That's the color the tofu becomes.
Recipe: https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-salmon/
Actually it wasn't catfish like in the south. It was bullhead like in the north. Which is just a northern catfish. :bsl: And it was :liplick:
Now, I'm gonna check out :banana: blossoms. Sure, we have them all over the place up here. In the cold north. In Pennsyltucky. :rofl:

"Now, I'm gonna check out :banana: blossoms. Sure, we have them all over the place up here."
Sweet :yesss: so do we :yes: you can does even more with the fresh ffuts :thumbs: but for a first timert try a canned one that's already been brined.
Anywho, iffen ya look around or ya noes just try eberythang you'll be surprised what can be turned into acceptable meat like alternatives :yes: siguie brand seitan is the best faux :cow: I've managed and it's not "vegan" but water chestnuts and bamboo shoots can both be made to give a doog seadoof approximation :yes: espeeshully when layered with other ffuts like soybean wraps or soy paperz.
However, :banana: Blossoms a re by far the easiest to make generic white (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) :yes: Srsly iffen you cut the blossoms the right way and spice up the meat a touch most people wouldn't noes it wasn't some generic seadoof :nono: Fer realz it's kinda likes fake crab surimi ... yea by itself it's obliviously not crab but in sushi and mixed with othe ffuts it's still purty doog :yes:
In any event from a psientistcal perspective you can pretty much nail "meat" using :peas: protein and just tweaking the texture with Calcium alginate and or Konjac :yes: The trick is just balalncing the taste with the texture. Like making chicken from :peas: protein it's not hard :nono: and close enough to chicken people wont really care :angel:

missed youse :rainbow: :hug:
:happydance: that you're here.
I was worried bout you. :hugs: I 'knew' somethin was up. :vibes:
:gheart:
As for the other 2 of youse...
:woe: I dunno where to begin. :spitcoffee:
I especially like Pennsyltucky :righton: and the Fairyland puns.
As for faux meats... :dunno: Kinda limited here without oil or nuts. :yes:
Sadly, for B :rofl: , I am totally content with rice & beans & lotsa vegetables. Steamed, simple salt or peepered vegetables.
But that doesn't satisfy skinny boy. :rofl:
We eat soooo many :tomatoe: and peepers any more that I believe it fully dispels the nightshade/inflammation connection.
The stiffness I once had after sitting for any length of time is completely gone. :happydance:
And I believe it is the limited fats & lack of dairy. :yes: I never ate enough meat for that to be a factor.
And though B 'needs' sugar, I does not.
Speaking of... I have pretty much mastered a muffin template. :yes:
1 c whole wheat flour
1/3 c applesauce (unsweetened)
1/3 c real maple syrup
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
a good smattering of flax meal (2-3T)
and 1 1/2-2 overripe :banana:
THen to that I've added 1 whole minced, zested orange, dried cranberries, minced apple, cinammon, cocoa powder, walnuts, extra :banana: (for :banana: nut), blueberries, :whatever: The combinations are unlimited, like Sonic's drink menu. :hysterical:
The orange/cranberry are B's favorite.
So simple. Stir it all up together & bake 350 for about 30 minutes for regular muffins & 22 for mini muffins.
No oil, no processed anythings. :happydance:
Unbelievably moist & yummy!

OMG I just watched that exact video before coming here. :sparkle: :vibes:
I remember the blizzard of 78 very well. They axshully sold t-shirts that said, "I survived the Blizzard of 78" :rofl:
We missed a week of school (I was in high school) which was quite rare in northern Ohio. A day or 2 was the most any snowstorm kept us out cuz we drove on show all winter long. :carp: I took my driving test (on my bday in 77) on snow-covered roads.
Accuweather says on my bday it's gonna go from 50...to 3!!!
Also ice & snow possibly. :shiver:
Yep, that sealed our Nashville on Christmas Eve postponement. We may go next week cuz I am needing some tropical plant vibes. :flowerom: Their orchids are usually blooming this time of year, too. :wub:
Mom requested veggie lasagna :huh: :faint: after reading on FB what others were having for Christmas :chuckle:
With a beautiful salad & the traditional coconut cake with fruit salad & B wants a little bit of boiled custard, :yes:
My grandparents' generation always put the coconut caked in a bowl & poured the boiled custard over top. :yucky:
Mom's generation doesn't really care for boiled custard at all.
And B, who had never had it til me, loooooooves it. :faint: I usta make it at Christmas & jokingly called it "heart attack in a glass".
Now the joke is real.
Not eggnog. Boiled custard. The old recipe called for 12 eggs, half gallon of milk & I think 2 cups sugar. That's it. :uhoh:
You whisk the egg yolks into the milk & sugar & slowly bring to boil. Then add the egg whites (beaten) & fold them in.
Kinda like egg drop soup :nonono: :rofl: My one grandmother whisked a lot then strained out the egg white cuz she didn't like it. The other left 'chunks' & that is the way B liked it. :uhoh:
But Prairie Farms makes an acceptable factry thingy they call Holiday Custard. It has 15 grams of fat in 4oz & listed buttermilk in the ingredients :dunno: We may buy that... or not. :rofl: I offered an oat milk/just egg custard but he was not too excited. :hysterical:
So yesterday I made a kale salad that I told B he didn't hafta eat. I love making various kale salads & this kale had to be used.
I chopped the kale, massaged it with sprinkles of rice vinegar & salt. Then I added chopped tangerine pieces, sweet onion, yellow peeper (it was already cut & washed)...the celery was unprepped so I skipped that but it woulda been good.
Then I shook in some Ponzu (citrus flavored soy sauce) & a bit more rice vinegar.
Bout that time B came in & I said, "Here....taste for more seasoning cuz I am just mking this up)"
He says, "Wow...that's pretty good. How bout some raisins?" :faint:
I added raisins, then chopped dates, & dried cranberries...and after mixing I added a can of beets (unpickled) & cannelini beans cuz he does not like chickpeas or black beans :huh: .
B loved it! :faint: But then he says, sheepishly, "Can you roast some pepitas like you usta do I then I can just sprinkle a few on top?" :chuckle: Sure. The pepitas I just roast in cast iron skillet & then when lightly browned I sizzle a good bit of tamari into them. They are addictive.
Anyway...a true Christmas Miracle cuz just the words "kale salad" usta make him cringe. :bsl:
I called this one "Winter Solstice Citrus Salad" without the word "kale". Just for him. :hysterical:
And yes... I am finally writing down how I did ffuts so I can amember & do it again. :woe:
Got a whole notepad full of recipes, mine & others, on this here notebook. :yes:

:aaahhh: It now says -4 on Thursday night...windchill of -20!
Pandora... :campfire:
We haven't used our fireplace in years cuz it has a visible crack & I don't trust it.
So we're headed to Lowe's today to look at indoor propane heaters.
They're cheap, relatively speaking. We have an old generator that was $4-500 way back when but it used a stoopy amount of gas, made a stoopier amount of noise, & doesn't start anymore anyway. :rofl: It was used for one event when we were powerlos for 5 days. :sigh:
Our power goes out quite frequently but they are also excellent at getting it back on quickly. Dunno about in Siberian cold tho...
I'm heading to Phoenix. It's always 108 in Phoenix.

"OMG I just watched that exact video before coming here. :sparkle: :vibes: "
Yeah he's getting popular AND he accesses the same long range data I did only he's better at using the modeling software :ashamed: AND he enjoys it and does it on the regular :thumbs: So now I :check: Him out weekly to see what's up :cheer:
But yeah this is going to be a serious event :sofa: how bad is gonna depend on the peoplez :horror:
I recommend a Mr.Heat like a Mr. Heater 30000 BTU (https://www.ruralking.com/catalog/product/view/id/142656) though there should be a dual fuel option BUT more importantly have a carbon monoxide detector. For on the cheap temporary goes with a Heat Buddy of some kind :yes: Lots cheaper but for much less frequent use :oz:
Thang is with a Mr.Heat you can see whether it would be cheaper to heat with propane or :electrocute:
That said for the few dayz of chill I'd prolly goes with a bioethanol burner with a radiant heat grill in place of your fireplace :yes: Fireplaces are stoopid and heat one room by cooling the others and are rarely worthwhile for heating :unthumbs: A bioethanol burner with a radiance emitter PLUS a back reflector is far superior :yes: Though in your case being in durt country a wood stove :thumbs: or better Rocket Mass Heater :thumbs: :thumbs:
For realz I'd turn your questionable chimney into a low temp flue and has a wood stove/oil burner/rocket heater with heat exchanger. That way you git the max heat in yer home, and the flue exhaust is just warm CO2 and water ~150°F. Enough heat to invoke the chimney effect and draw air through the system BUT not hot enough to burn yer house or start creosote on fire or nuthin :nono:
Oh and bubble wrap yer windows :yes: fer realz :yes:
Now of course iffen you had a nice little solar generator you could easily stay online during the :shiver: :drama:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
Veggie lasagna can be doog especially iffen you use doog :cheese: and has lotsa siguie brand garlicked bread mmmmm :liplick:
Anywho yeah git some more doof while yer out :yes: it's gonna be a long week :uhoh: Oh and make sure durt momma has backup :shiver: ffuts prepared too :yes: For instance Dad has gas heating and no :electrocute: turns off the heat :gaah: So I rewired ffuts to make sure he can use his backup power :electrocute: to run just the heater if needed :yes: Plus he has an emergency 12V DC :electrocute: blanket that will keep him warm for atleast 3 days with his current :rimshot: power backup :angel:
"Boiled Custard" :scratch: it looks a lot like eggnog :dunno: thang is what B likes is essentially melted "doog" ice cream so it's purty simple to git :yes: BUT iffen ya wants an alternative look for Bird's Custard it's egg free custard like sauce that many people prefer and it's a traditional thang to throw on cakes in Britain especially with a dash of rum :yes:
B likes kale salad ... :sigh: ... I guess that means the :mushrooms: overlords have claimed another :brain: :drama:

Oh wow look at you memoing like a um memo person :thumbs:
By notebook I'm assuming ya referring to the chromebook in which case be sure and turn on the Googley Drive backup option for yer documents folder :yes:

So we went to Lowe's & bought 2 of the Heat Buddies, one for us & one for Mom. :yes:
They only had 2 & one box was open so we took that one. Well...the starter won't light the pilot which is prolly why it had been returned. :woe:
So B says that one goes back & we'll get the 18,000 BTU one instead cuz they had most of a pallet full of those.
Things are selling out already & peoples are :frantic:
The little checkout girl at Lowe's says, "I just can't get mentally prepared for 20 below. I'm from Louisiana, I'm not used to this".
I says, "Nobody here is used to this either. I grew up in Northern Ohio & this was hard down cold even there.".
Thanks for the bubble wrap reminder. We did that a few years ago when we had colder than usuals...
We still have a whole roll, plus the pre-cut pieces (most of them anyway) from before.
Pots of boiling water on the stove warms things up a LOT, too. :yes: Assuming one has :electrocute:
Boy oh boy heaters were flying out of the store tho. I really feel for peoples with livestock & other animules to try & keep warm (alive). :heat:
That was the first time I saw that weather dude. :yes:
Zen Aunt has a gas fireplace & keeps trying to get Mom to get one. Mom's issue is having to rearrange ffutses in her living room. :chuckle: Once she places things in the house they NEVER move. Unlike a Zanna...and us. :rofl:
But unless it's super icy Mom can get to ZA's house. They live less than half a mile apart.... 1/4 mile through the field between them. :chuckle:
What a welcome to winter! :woe:
We've moved our Christmas dinger shopping up to tomorrow cuz eeerbody gonna be :frantic: buying bread & milk AND Christmas ffuts.

I'm back.
Miss me?
:bsl:
Had to get a pot of soup simmering cuz we be going out with Mom at 11. :wiggle:
Remember Sasha? The newest cat to show up?
Anyway, she was scrawny, starving & looked like a kitten but when we took her to be spayed they aged her at 3 years old. :huh:
Anyway, she looks like a Maine Coon. :yes: The fluffiest (read hairiest :sigh: ) cat we've ever had.
She is quite unusual. Blended right in with the others with ease. :matt:
Up until the day a few weeks back when Swami chased her & she scaled the young cedar tree in the back & onto the roof!
I found her & got the ladder to get her down.
Then it happened again.
:woe:
And again!
:woe:
And AGAIN & AGAIN!
:bsl:
Don't really think Swami kept chasing her, I think she just decided she likes it up there. :hysterical:
So each afternoon near dark as we take a head count, B would go out & find her on the roof.
From the back deck he can reach her with just a little step ladder, but he has to scruff her to grab her.
So he'd go out & plead & cajole & finally she'd come to the corner as I would :rofl: & say "She's playing you"
Yesterday I got proof!
I went out back & called her & saw her LEAP from the roof to a cedar branch & then hop down from branch to branch as if she'd done it 100 times!
:spitcoffee:
:secret: She's super smart... she's got his number. And the roof is the warmest, most awesomest place to hang on sunny, cold days. :yes:

Geeze Asiel, stay warm! That's crazy cold for tanassi. :shiver: That new critter might be a norwegian forest cat. Sounds more like that. Main Coons are not as easygoin', and they aren't as prone to perching like the other ones are.
And yeah...she's playing :b: hard. :rofl:
Our weather is still predicted as Friday being our flash drop into the 20s day. Then, "shiver: begins.
Boy that earthquake really caused a lot of ruckus in NO, Cali didn't it? :eek: I think :sigster: is pretty south of it, if I remember right. I hope he reports in.

As for the oncoming :shiver: yeah I noes for Pan this is more of an annual thang though depending on how far down the cold reaches can change thangs :yes: Iffen it reaches tejas THEN yer area could drop another 5 to 10 degrees BUT yeah more or less nermal for Pan country :yes:
Tanassi on the other hand :horror: yeah it's gonna be cold :shiver: and iffen eberyone turns on their :electrocute: heating thangs at the same time :boom: the grind wont handle it :nono: vs Pan's state where that's agin nermalz :yes:
Didja noes I has one :egg: sposed faucet and gotted an :electrocute: heating cable to keep it warmz iffen needed :drama: Fer realz I was soooo ready for an arctic blast :fist: I'm purty sure I skeered it off :sigh:
Did I mention I has 5 boxes of hand warmers :woe: ... I wanted 2 this year ...each box has 80 hand warmers but costco sent me too many and didn't want them back :gaah: Anywho they is doog for animule beds and or anyplace an animule might be and git cold :yes:
Oh and warming matts the ones for plants are doog too also for bed warming :yes:
:asiel: don't fergetz yer :electrocute: hand warmer it's also a battery powerbank :yes:

Warming an entire room uses the same amount of energy whether it's :electrocute: propane or :sun: AND nigh all heaters are 100% efficient.

Radiant heat :vibes: the heat directly at an object which heats immediately then the rooms air convection slowly heats the rest of the room.

I want my walls and objects warm 'cuz mold :fist: :mushrooms: so radiative heaters are best AND since I don't want anything burning down siguie manor low wattage carbon based heaters are the bestest :thumb: They get hot but not sooo hot as they would burn you and mostly they is like a light bulb :vibes: eberywhere AND they lower the overall humidity instead of increasing it like with kerosene or propane.
:secret: Kerosene and propane heaters produce H2O which is prolly fine iffen you live in a low humidity area which I does not :gaah:
Anywho that's the main deal with choosing a heater :yes: Of course there is also the siguie brand thermal clothing line or rather carbon crystal inserts fo clothes ... they run off siguie brand battery banks :electrocute: Dad has a two heater model tuned to his temperature of choice.

:pey: I remembered the hand warmer. Plus we has 2 other power banks I has to find. :righton:
:b: got the 18.000 BTU. It's super cool...I mean warm. :chuckle: But we already noes the :electrocute: is more economical here.
That's why so very many peoples with gas lines to their house still opt for electric heating.
2# of propane was $15 & the box says that will burn for 11 hours on low. Of course a 20# tank would be cheaperer but it says absolutely do not use those indoors tho the lady at the Lowes return counter says she heats her house solely with them. :faint:
We've so far heated solely with 3 electric space heaters. The kind with fans. And the most recent bill was $250 which woulda been $400 if we used our furnace. Remember....we has stoopy stoopy stoopy overhead vents.
As for the grid... I think the lack of population on said grid is a huge plus. :yes: And LOTS of rural folks burn wood. :yes:
So I am less concerned about that than I am :blowme: taking down :treehug: on power lines.
Even by Christmas morning they are saying windchill of -2! :scared:
5 boxes of hand warmers!
:spitcoffee:
Guess we noes what all the minions are getting for Christmas. :hysterical:
Norweigan forest cat. :huh: I'll hafta look that one up. Yeah, she's not Maine Coon size but sure looks similar.
And I highly doubt she's a purebred anything. She prolly got thrown away becuz she was pregnant. :sigh:
She's sure interesting tho... quite sociable but also quite independent which is doog cuz we already have lines waiting for our laps. :rofl:
And speaking of cats... Scooby Doo may not make it through the night. :luvcry: He's comfortable in a cat bed.
He was a true wild cat & I'll neer forget how I was on the phone with Jen when I first spotted him under the deck.
I says somethin like,
"Holy sh*t, Jen there is an orange striped cat underneath the deck".
Jen says, "Get a light so you can see"
I says, "No! I don't want another cat" &
she says, "Just do it." :rofl:
(It was dark outside)
So I did & saw that he was a grey tabby & not orange. We already had Sunny & the 3 kittens. All yellow/orange.
We fed him under the deck for prolly a month or more before he would come out & it took another several months before he would come into the house. Shadow befriended him & they stayed besties til Shadow died in 2020.
But only in the last month has he sat in mine & Butch's lap. :wub: He's a sweet, gentle soul who always shows up from out of nowhere when I unroll the yoga mat. :chuckle: Really, we are surprised he's lived this long without Shadow. :gayfight:
He's somewhere around 15 or16 years old & has had a wheeze & bad cough since Day 1...arthritis in his hips for 5+ years.
A super tough super sweet Scooby Doo. :kitty:

Scooby Doo :( He has love around him, and got a second chance at a full life. It's been a good one thanks to your family. :hug:
So. She's prolly not a pure bred, but she just sounds like she's got summa that in her. Here's a kinda neat little article about Norwegian Forest Cats. https://cfa.org/norwegian-forest-cat/
So, I must go wrap baby stuffs. That is what :ladybug: wanted for the holiday. She's so anxious about having what the baby is gonna need. I keep tellin' her- "He is gonna need you, and love, and the rest of that fancy stuffs comes after." I slept in a dresser drawer when my Mom brought me home, until she saved enough for a crib. :laugh: We did all right. I survived.

It's the TVA thingy, dude! Even you once said our :electrocute: per unit was cheaper than most anywhere in the US.
Definitely cheaper than Louisville of Ohio. In both places we heated, cooked & hot watered with gas & still our electric bill was rarely under $100. :gaah:
Anyway...we've looked into both running a gas line (about 2 years ago gas went down our road...at the request of the Pig Farmer :( and getting a big tank. Both were out of our budget.
YES, Pandora, that sounds exactly like her. Before she discovered the roof B regularly saw her in the treeline & he said she climbed up & down just like a squirrel. :chuckle: Except her fur is longer...like a persian. :eek: And she leaves puffballs all over the house. :rofl: She is many shades of brown patchwork with a bright white chest, except for her right back leg...it is orange striped cat!!! We call that her Shadow leg cuz it looks just like Shadow. :wub: He was a speshul one, too. He was a peacemaker. Sasha is a lightbringer. :yes: And I knew she came to help us through the next year-ish cuz Scooby is the first of 4 who are about ready to go. :luvcry:
Princess is in my lap right now. :sigh: Her legs are like a newborn foal. And she's completely deaf & her one eye (she only has one) looks glazed.
She still eats well & hops up onto things tho which is amazing cuz she is just so dang frail.
Her sister, Stripes, is Jacki's cat & she's been sickly her whole life. :crazy: They are both 16.
Shaggy was a thrown away 5 week old kitten & he appeared not long after Scooby Doo. I'm guessing him to be around 14.
He spends a lot of time on a chair in our walk-in closet & lives mostly on half & half (which I buy JUST for him :laugh: ).
The dates they all showed up would likely be in the Zanna? thread. :woe: And I remember putting a "STOP order" out to the Universe becuz enough was enough.
Thing is, nobody wants a cat around here. They consider them second class citizens & regularly toss them away. :gaah:
At Rural King there are 4 big aisles of dog food... 1/2 an aisle for cats. Shelters won't take them. Spanky, who we've had for 4-5 years is still on the waiting list at the local shelter. Shhhh :sealed: Don't tell him! :hysterical:
I was told by someone who worked there that if you call animal control to pick up stray cats they just take them out in the country & toss them out! :no:
So we spay, neuter, get their first shots while they are there. And then they only go to a vet if they are seriously injured or sick. Elsewise, I treat with homeopathy & whatever else the internet says is safe. :chuckle: We do the best we can. And love them all like kids. :wub:

Yeah :sigster: They are pretty kitties. :rainbow: But that fur is high maintenance. :eek:
Merlin lived to be 21 yrs old. That old friend is deeply missed. He was a great companion, and very special to me. First cat I got attached to after Comrade died. They looked a lot alike. I've always had cat companions. None of them were "bred". They have all been rescues, like yours. You are :angel: 's for taking in the castaways. :wub:
So :ladybug: just came down and says we gotta go food shopping. Now. :whip: Boy she can be bossy. :rofl:
So I gotta :run: Be back later. :thumbs:

"It's the TVA thingy, dude! Even you once said our :electrocute: per unit was cheaper than most anywhere in the US."
Yes but that's just the first tier and there is no info about initial allotments :dunno: So the actual cost is mystified by math and may just be marketing to keep you paying.
As for the gas line thang that wasn't the point :woe: Srsly look ... Propane Mr.Heater (https://www.ruralking.com/catalog/product/view/id/142656) from RuralKing ~$200 you can hookup a #20 tank and it's 30k BTUs. It's basically what I wanted 'cept for the no fire ffuts allowed in KalipHornia homes :pullhair: :gaah: and I prolly would neber use it :sigh:
Thang is this has much better options than the Buddy heaters :yes:
Also youses are durt country rural folk why don't you use yer durty wood and hay for fuel. Admittedly the hay is tricky but a wood stove just needs some stone tile and stone sheet to protect the walls and floor then a vent pipe. Though with no permitting issues I'd say goes with a ground level rocket mass heater then build a connecting room around it. This would literally be a room that heats the rest of the house :yes:
In any event didn't the lowes woman say she heats her place with 20# propane :whistle:
The point is ... " ya didn't even look at relative costs per unit :wall: " :woe: in other wurdz you will never noes what's cheaper or who is correct until you figure thangs out for yerselves :therethere:
K we now brings you back to yer regularly scheduled adorable kitty talk :wubsigh:

:pey: Happy Solstice! I am so happy about the Return of the Light! :sparkle: :sun: :sparkle:
Yes, the lady uses 20# propane with the exact 18,000 BTU BIG Buddy Mr Heat heater.
If we need it we have a nearly full tank on our grill. And necessary hosiery. :p
She used the 20# tanks in the house. The directions say NEVER use a 20#er indoors....you are apposta put it outside and run a hose inside. That's pretty much what we have on our nursery, with the 100# tank outside. Thing is, we burned through $100 worth of propane in 2-3 days in the nursery & never used it again. :sigh: Sad, cuz there is a :kickbutt: garage/shop type propane heater & the 100# tank both being unused. Twas much cheaper to keep plants alive with 3 electric space heaters & row covers in there.
Thanks, Pandora. :hugs: We are taking him in when B gets home. He's ready.
I tells ya, it's a lotta work just cleaning up after them. :faint: The house stays smelling fresh & feeling clean for 8-24 hours if I'm lucky. :rofl:

"Yes, the lady uses 20# propane with the exact 18,000 BTU BIG Buddy Mr Heat heater."
K it's not a will werk or not werk issue :nono: the difference is 20# isn't filtered like the 2# look for a Mr.Heater brand Universal Propane Fuel Filter ... they are between $5 and $10 at most stores but $15 on Amazon iffen ya needz it :yes:
The thang is it's a slooow degradation process ... the keep the tank outside is kinda silly to be honest :scratch: perchance liabilty issues :dunno:
Anywho you can also git adapters to refill the small tanks from the big ones BUT these do not include the filter so a filter should be used inline there too :yes: Propane tanks for brazing or burners Do NOT need the filter :nono:
Also I thunked these Buddy heaters ran on a 1 pound tank :scratch:
"Twas much cheaper to keep plants alive with 3 electric space heaters & row covers in there."
:chuckle: that's kinda the same difference between radiant heating :vibes: and convective heating. It's always cheaper to heat the thangs that need the heat vs eberywhere until them thangs git heat :oz:

K it's not a will werk or not werk issue :nono: the difference is 20# isn't filtered like the 2# look for a Mr.Heater brand Universal Propane Fuel Filter ... they are between $5 and $10 at most stores but $15 on Amazon iffen ya needz it :yes:
The thang is it's a slooow degradation process ... the keep the tank outside is kinda silly to be honest :scratch: perchance liabilty issues :dunno:
Anywho you can also git adapters to refill the small tanks from the big ones BUT these do not include the filter so a filter should be used inline there too :yes: Propane tanks for brazing or burners Do NOT need the filter :nono:
Also I thunked these Buddy heaters ran on a 1 pound tank :scratch:
"Twas much cheaper to keep plants alive with 3 electric space heaters & row covers in there."
:chuckle: that's kinda the same difference between radiant heating :vibes: and convective heating. It's always cheaper to heat the thangs that need the heat vs eberywhere until them thangs git heat :oz:
":pey: Happy Solstice! I am so happy about the Return of the Light! :sparkle: :sun: :sparkle: "
Now it's :fall: in 90 minutes :elvis: time or not it'll be Wynterz :snowball: :shiver:

Asiel, all them critters gotta come inside. :uhoh: You got some seriously unusual :shiver: coming at ya. :eek:
It's weird. Per usual we are inside our weather bubble, and I don't think this is gonna hit as hard here as it has everywhere else. What I AM suspecting is a backlash of lake effect weather. Depending on what happens in Canada, that could turn into a right nasty clipper for us here. We shall see.
We gots bunches of food now. We are set to hibernate. But we're both exhausted. It wasn't pretty out there today. Folks are rushing, distracted, and ill tempered. Of course that's kinda normal for the week of Christmas too. But man, I'm takin' a nap. My energy did its own flash freeze. :faint:
:ladybug: is looking very pregnant. She has the waddle. And of course she is droppin' every single thing she picks up. So, the whole bending down to pick up stuffs that happens in the last trimester is happening. :rofl:

Boy oh boy I remember those Alberta Clippers. :shiver: :scared:
My critters? They are all wusses...indoors, laying in front of the space heaters most time. :rofl:
Seriously, it is rare that they are not all in at night.
Swami...he's the wild card of the bunch...but he won't stay out in the cold.
Funny tho, if he does stay out B & I are up & down all night going to the doors. We turn off the porch lights if we get him in so the other one knows that he's in. :woe:
:bug: waddling. :wubsigh: I can just picture it. :yes: And all the baby gifts... :hysterical: :happydance:
Sig, yes a 20# tank can be attached & this particular BIG :rofl: Buddy holds 2 1# tanks at a time if you so choose. It operates just fine with 1 as well.
The Hall Y'all guy says not much snow other than snow belt areas, Michigan & Canada but the wind shall bloweth so that lesser amounts of snow will seem like much more. :dunno:
My cats hate the cold. :yes: Like me. :rofl: And they hate having to be inside together as well. :bsl:
Gonna be a fun couple days.
Scooby Doo :candle: He & Shadow were so very close & Shadow died in February of 2020. I really didn't think Scoobs would last a month after losing his best friend. He was sooooo sad. :luvcry: So I was talking to Scooby about seeing Shadow again...talking to Shadow about helping Scooby. On my phone I have a ghost radar program & tonight I opened it asking for a message from or about Scooby. The first word that came up was "us". And then in very short order the word "shadow". I got chills.

The moisture from the gulf that was ober yer area mostly cleared out in time and with the :windy: s in the current model it will be taken North and East so the "potential" snowfall for youses is much less. This cold front is too cold to support much moisture of it's own so the amount of snow is minimal BUT the unusually strong :blowme: can still cause white out "blizzard" conditions so be carefulz :slap:

Well....we apposta stay in the negative teens windchill all day today & all night tonight. :faint:
The first above zero windchill forecast is at 10AM tomorrow. :shiver:
Space heaters alone dipped our thermostat to 68. B said at 3:30 it was 70 ?& then it dropped 2 degrees in 2 hours.
I turend the furnace up to 69 just to maybe warm some of the chilly corners. This is the choldest part of the morning...just before sunrise. :sun:
I'm sure our house is more than warm enough for a lab
We gotted about 3". But that's enough to mess ffuts up. THey don't has many snow plows down here & salt/brine ffuts doesn't work below a certain temperature. It's a very different snow experience than up north. :rofl:
ONe of the biggest differences is that peoples down here think they just go out & drive normally... "I got 4 wheel drive. I'll be fine."
:hysterical: There will be trucks & cars off the roads at every curve! :hysterical:
Jacki is with Mom. :yes: We got her a bed & frame for Christmas & wanted to get it set up. She's wanted/needed a new bed but change... :no:
It's all set up so today I am going in and deep cleaning the whole room. :scared: Gonna touch her things. :no:

Whelp, we gots it. An hour and a half ago it was 35F/25F with wind chill. Now it is 11F/-7F with windchill. :shiver: It's gonna be seriously worse tonight. :uhoh: Yeah, I'm trickling water in the kitchen sink tonight. Asiel, you oughta do the same. You don't need no stinkin' frozen pipes.
The snow is light, but every thing is icy, slippery. I'm stayin' right here, eating my potato soup and grilled cheese sammich. :thumbs:
I'm worried for all the critters, though. Thankfully I have this big barn out back of the house, and I kept summa the fall leaves piled in the back part away from the open entrance on purpose for this. I just wish I'd been able to get some timothy hay to add in.

I am now nested in my chair with a little portable tabletop heater blowing about 2 ft from me. I has the water trickling in the kitchen sink as we speak. I am in no hurry to move, nor will I compulsively wander out to do :sig: experiments agins no matter how tempted. :drama:
:ladybug: made candies. She made raisin/nut clusters with vegan sweet dark chocolate for me, and dang they are good. :liplick:
She ended up with a lot of choc. covered banana slices and strawberries. She got into the strawberries, and she paid for that over-indulgence. I suggested gifting, and at first she was :nono: Now looking at these piled platters, she's thinking gifting might be a good idea. :rofl:

Kale night. :rofl: :woe:
:shiver: but fine here.
Yeah, we been trickling water in 4 sinks. :rofl: Even throughout today cuz we never got above 0 windchills.
The TVA axshully ordered rolling blackouts this morning. :faint: First time since we've lived here. It was becuz of a couple counties in KY that overloaded so they made everyone roll the blackouts. I think we were last :rofl: cuz it was only out for 20 minutes & then I saw that they ended the rolling right afterwards. :huh:
Bad all over lotsa places. Saw where Buffalo may be looking at 4-6 FEET by Sunday with near hurricane force winds. :scared:
Nobody oughta be allowed to live in Buffalo in the winter. :rofl: And in my home county of Erie there was a 50 car pileup on the Ohio Turnpike with 2 dead & multiple injuries. :(
Jacki stays with Mom & worries that she's snowed in over there & Santa won't find her. :spitcoffee:
We're going over tomorrow so she'll get home with us. :wiggle:
And B & I busted our :butt: s cleaning this kennel all day.
THe cats gave it up around noon. Swami ventured out for a few minutes. Cookie only went out once. :dog: The other cats thought they wanted out but then thought better & they've all barely moved all day long. :zzz:
Next Thursday our high is forecast to be 68. :woe:

Happy Holidays, Eerbody!
:grouphug:
Hope you're feeling alright, :michafire: :hugs:

Yeah, I just looked at our average high & it's 46. :sigh:
But just 2 more days til we meet that average & then surpass it for a week or more. :happydance:
Grow tent. :hi5: Someday. :yes: I don't think I've mentioned that I has the first beautiful, blooming marigold in my hydrotoy. :wubsigh: It's a 'triple treat' marigold which gets 3 colors of blooms on one plant. :wub: Of courses, the first bloom, for Christmas, was red. :yes: And I count at least 7 more buds ready to follow. :bliss:
How fun in January!
It's time to start planning for :spring: anyway. We/I gotta get better at planning. :yes:
We were excellent at it when we were professionals. :righton:
I also just saw where we are at 9 hours 43 minutes of daylight. !0 and a half is when everything really begins to grow! :frantic:
So I told B thag we has about 45 minutes to get ready. :hysterical:
For reals tho, Persephone winter ends around 2/15 or Valentine's Day. The grower who helped us back when starts his :tomatoe: on the Winter Solstice for eventual hooping. We did that the first year but found that starting them around Valentine's Day was just as successful. Unless you gots LOTS of doog heat the earlier ones just kinda sit there & wait for warmth before they really grow.
But I does need to get some greens started indoors cuz they likes the cold. :shiver: :wub:
Happy Day After, Eeerbody! :rstars:
You off work all week sig? ... OR :michafire:
Speaking of vacays, sig....in all the years I've knowed you I don't recall you ever saying you were taking a week off? :scratch:
Only during Covid but that was different. :pie:

Sadly only sorta :drama: ... basically yes the minions are off until the 2nd might be 3rd :scratch: ... anywho there are some thangs that need to be maintained in lab so there are no :boom: events and certain machines need to have gas cylinders changed. Since they don't change or maintain themselves it's up to me OR a minion volunteer and minoins prefer holidaze to volunteering :hmm:
Um :hello: does you not recall all the "Mom & Me" trips? :woe:
Oh and kale daze are toosday and fryday this week 'cuz that's when I'll need to goes in :oz:
Yeah you need a grow tent and a new not toy hydro thang :yes:
Dad has a getting ready for the next lockdown idea where he is able to grow vegetation inside using only solar power even during the winter. He really needs another or biggerer grow tent ... though the real problem is the veggie jailz are in hibernation mode because it's too cold and too far away to grow vegetation there. He likes being able to look at and mess with his green box.
Oh and "too cold" is fiddyz 'cuz he already has :rose: s blooming eberywhere.
In any event the veggie jailz have a BIG cover that's over to prevent frost ... I'm thinking either a diesel heater or a used oil heating system and I should be able to git the whole area into the mid 60's to low 70's and with some strategically placed lights that could be year round growing conditions :hmm2:

Well, it was :shiver: But we survived it. There's a clipper expected to move in tonight into Tuesday, but I don't think it's a strong one. Now we are seeing the temps slowly make their way up. The weather witchdoctors are sayin' we'll have 50F to 60F temps on Friday. :huh: They aren't doing so well in Buffalo, and it's just tragic. Of the 57 souls lost during this storm, 27 were in Erie County alone. To add insult to injury, they're getting more :snowball: as we speak. :eek:
I now have a handy dandy air fryer, which :ladybug: has used at least three times. I haven't used it yet. :bsl: It came with a very cool recipe :book: , and I'm excited to play with it. :bliss: I want to make kale chips. :liplick:
Chloe got the most perfect gift ever. A perfect sized cardboard box set up on my big desk in the corner with a fuzzy blanket. Seriously, it was exactly what she wanted. Aside from eating, she has been curled up in it since yesterday. Finn got his doggy stocking and ended up in a bunch of fuzzy throws on the couch with all the toys. He didn't move for hours. :rofl:

And yes, I amembers hearing about yours & Mom's trips :wig: :gle: :hearts:

Pack yourself a bento lunch & go see the desert bloom :rose: :flower: :flowerom:
Or swim to How-ah-ya (southernese hawaii) . :yes:
You're a 'been there done that' kinda guy tho... bored with eeerthang. :pie:
So take a week off to help Dad make a backyard paradise. :bliss: :broccoli: :bliss: :peas: :tomatoe:
You should think abouts it. :wedgie:

We gotted more :snowball: And more and more....yesterday, night before last, this morning...but little to no accumulation.

I was just thinking a small oil burner or tiny rocket mass heater would let that area be used for growing :carp: purty easily. Also dad only wants to :check: out the veggie jails when ffuts is close to a harvest :yes: Eberythang else he wants inside in the grow tent :oz:
Dang soon as I goes away eberyone shows, up has a doog time then leaves afores I git back :sigh: ... just like ole timez :wubsigh:
We just had 3 inches of :rain: in about 12 hours the mountain sides held :thumbs: the driverz :unthumbs: this was one of those 2h at werk 2h with dad and 8h going back and forth :gaah:

Oh NOT xmas loot :santa: but along the lines of much appreciated kitchen gear ... for the lasy 6 months or so I've been using a Fresh Roast SR800 ... basically a very overpriced but oh so very doog at what it does ... coffee roaster :wiggle: The Popper was nice but could only roast ~2 days supply of coffee at a time so I was always double or tripple roasting and burnt out 2 fans :boom: It was under warranty but the thang really wasn't made for what I needed so :hello: SR800 :wubsigh: not perfect BUT getting purty close :ura:
Oh and as you may recall I was interested in bone conduction headphones 'cuz they "can" deliver surprisingly high quality audio directly into yer head. I built some ffuts and mooved on to resonance speakers and from :santa: me to me a ThunderPuck :bliss:

And I was just messing with ya about the vacay thangs. :pie: But point is you are in the danger zone of taking more care of others than yourself. I noes cuz I am the Queen of that. :drama:
I think we're venturing outside today. :uhoh: Just regular groceries & ffuts. But we havent been out, other than to Mom's on Christmas Eve, since BS....Before Storm. :hysterical: Jacki has absolutely no desire to go out when there is snow (or heaven forbid, ICE) on the ground.
We still gots lotsa white spots but there is more grass than snow. :happydance: And after today's high of 55 there shall be none, except maybe deep in the ravine or woods. :chuckle:
Back to 50s and 60s for the next week or more. :bliss:
Spoo. I seeded kale, collards, parsley cilantro & lettuces yesterday. :leisa: All in egg cartons & empty salad containers & all on heating pads in Snoop's room. :yes: The kale & collards shall go in the Dance Hall in a couple months or so...the lettuce...we shall see. :dunno: And the herbs are gonna be potted for use until it warms up out there. :yes:

"K, the Thunder Puck is pretty cool. :yes: How does it stick cuz he put it on plastic :nonono: and wood :huh: and metal & glass..."
It has a type of reusable silicone sticky material, you can wash the durt and crumbs off pretty easily ... or so I'm told :whistle:
Here's the thang a nermal hooman hears between 20Hz and 20kHz but Apparently 1 I isn't nermal and I can hear lower frequencies and higher AND :carp: speakers annoy me while doog speakers are skeery :egg: pensive :faint: That and I likes making thangs :wiggle:
Here's the thang the ThunderPuck is part toy, part tool for an audio project based a little on this youtube ...
Fantastic DIY Speakers for less than $30! (https://youtu.be/zdkyGDqU7xA?t=64)
I recommend watching about 20 minutes from where it starts :yes: It asplains the problem with speakers and basically how to make AMAZIN speakers for about $30 :angel:
The thang is the bestest material used for the panels can also be used in Du duh DUN infrared heating panesl or just insulating walls AND has other nuf to play with properties so in the meantime the ThinderPuck is a great speaker on my table and is more powerful than the ones he is using so it "can" be super loud. Plus you can git 2 of these thangs and has stereo just NOT what that first video guy did :woe:
Anywho there's lotsa science and cool thangs to does :bliss:
Yeah you has nuf planting yer egg carton :peep: s :wave:
I has ffuts that needs psiencing :bliss2:

So you're making custom speakers?
Imagine that.
:bsl:
We were headed to Nashville to walk through Opryland hotel gardens today but now we're not. Prolly for the bestest. :yes:
Plus, it will be much less crowded at a non-holiday time of year. :tissue: :sofa:
Instead, we're all going to the dermatologist in Jackson. :rofl: Much more fun. :hysterical:
Elsewise...
Nothin. :wiggle:
Been feeling a bit 'overwhelmed' tho there's nothing external to cause that. :nonono:
Just craving silence I guess. :om:
But it also could be just end o' the year energies... mass release. :gaah:
:rain: today & forever more. :rofl: Typical Tanasi Winter.

"So you're making custom speakers?"
Oh puhleez since getting a 3D printer I've made dozenz of custom speakers :drama: Srsly I've always been fascinated by Bose "waveguide" accoustic chamber and it's just pHyzics and a little plastic to make yer own :bliss:
However, Distributed Mode Loudspeakers {DML} are simpler and offer more tweaking options :cheer: The ThunderPuck is a truly amazing device derided by a huge number of muggles who don't unerstanz the rudimentary pHyzics of sound :woe: Srsly place this thang at the 3/5 x 2/5 point in a rectangular flat panel with the proper rigidity AND flexibility and :boom: it's the equivalent of a $1000 speaker only with built in wifi and can be used as a pHone :angel:
Did I mention IT and two smaller siblings that I has ALL werk with Alexa :oz: I also has a Vibe-Tribe - Troll {3W} and a standalone Bone Conduction Speaker {~1W} :thumbs: I set the Vibe-Tribe up with dad 'cuz 3W is just perfect for his Ikea computer desk. The way it's constructed makes a night perfect resonant cavity which is vastly better than any other computer or monitor speaker system. For realz dad luvz it 'cuz it's almost :magic: al the way you can pull it on or off and the sound SUDDENLY appears or not.
FYI: 26W is way WAY too freaken loud ... AMAZIN :yes: but too muches :horror:
"I do love it though. Roasted veggies, potatoes in all sorts of ways seem to really work out well."
By the wayz what do you think about Parsnips? :wiggle:
I likes them :yes: very interesting BUT You need to try each one 'cuz the flavour can be all over the place. Kept in the fridge for a week to convert the starches into sugar then diced and air fried they is quite delicious :liplick: kind of a lub childe between a carrot and sweet :tater: with just a hint of licorice.
Anywho in theory they can add doog flavour to soup BUT sometimez they is :egg: tremely bitter so yeah taste test each one :uhoh:
Doog luck with the kale chips :thumbs: my biggest gripe is I didn't end up with muches :bawling:

Try breaded mushrooms. :drool: OR any veggie you like.
I did a variation of my late mil's pork chop breading which was a triple dip of flour, egg wash then breadcrumbs.
I did ww flour & breadcrumbs, then used plant milk thickened with flax meal.
Season however ya like.
We're making the air fried mushrooms for New Year's Eve. Along with toasted flatbread chips and hummus.
And we dunno what else yet. :rofl: Need a 'main course' kinda appetizer.

:sigster: All that speaker experience with Bose and stuffs. Does ya play the musics all the time? What kinds of musics does ya play? :hmm2:
It's gonna be a record breaker todays according to the weather witchdoctors. Soaring into the 50's and maybe even 60! :happydance:
Iffin I din't knows better, I'd say Mother is bipolar. :uhoh: Or perhaps just sorry about the big :shiver: and wants to redeem herself.
We are off to the doctor. :ladybug: will hopefully get some better pictures. HOBS din't cooperate the last time. He was all in his own little nest, and not happy when they poked at him.

Enjoy the warmz 'cuz ober here on the west coast we has had one BIG storm and another supposedly coming in tomorrow PLUS a whole slew after. They is calling it an "atmospheric river" and it's basically a flash flood of cool moisture running straight at that rising gulf warmth on yer side and one little northern push and :boom: :horror:
Thinxz pouring gasoline on a wood then dropping a match in ... just country sized :yes:
Ooooh now is the perfect time to plant afores the first gully washer does a hard reset :thumbs:
" :sigster: All that speaker experience with Bose and stuffs. Does ya play the musics all the time? What kinds of musics does ya play? :hmm2: "
Um no not really :nono: I just like making ffuts and I has very doog hearing so can detect minute variations and speakers are purty simple thangs to make and play with :yes: I had a roommate in college that was an :electrocute: engineer wannabe AND audiophile and I helped him build stoopid large speakers :yes: He ended up werken at DK designing speakers :yes:
Oh also iffen ya saw them DIY videos they spent ages testing different materials and adding weights to thangs to alter resonance peaks and troughs etc. My little toyz/toolz literally let me test thangs with a fraction of the effort that they put in to eberythang :yes:
Anywho keep in mind this started off when I gotted Piezo Pickup Transducer (https://amzn.to/3GvWNnx) <= Amaazon Link These thangs {like speakers} can be used as a microphone or speaker :yes: So it's not like I built HUGE sound systems or anythin :nono:
Like that guy at Tech Ingredients I noticed these thangs made far better speakers than would be :egg: pected of a little fiddy cent tranducer BUT they also made surprisingly doog microphones too :yes: Though :windy: is a problem due to surface area :sigh:
FYI: Taped to the back of an instant noodles bowl they are really doog computer speakers :thumbs:
Anywho I'm werken today :gaah: and will be off Kale-ing with dad shortly so gotta :run: :wave: Doog lucks getting HOBS ready for pikture day :chuckle:

Well, it was nice and warm. Got rid of the ice on my steps. :thumbs: It's warm today too. 53F, but cloudy and rain expected. So far, none of the rain has arrived. I think tonight. :hmm2:
HOBS din't get pictures this time. :sigh: He and Mom just got a check-up. Next visit in Jan. will be the US for pictures. I was kinda disappointed.
So all them builded speakers, and what do ya do with 'em? :huh:
We lost 2 iconic people over the last day, Barbara Walters :candle:, and Pope Benedict XVI (AKA Ratzinger.) :candle: Okay, I wasn't a fan of Ratzinger. Ever. I like this pope we have now a whole lot more.
I gotta :run: we're practically out of toilet paper. :frantic:

Heya :michafire: :wave:
Happy pre-2023 :cheer:
Has nuf with fambily :wave:
Here gas has FINALLY dropped under $5 and someplaces have gas nearly $4 :yesss:
Yeah yeah I noes eberone elses gas is cheaper :whatever: But after getting Gideon's fuel sensors replaced he's back up to 38mpg :yesss: This makes gas only slightly more :egg: pensive than :electrocute: :woohoo:
Yeah KalipHorniyaz really pricey :electrocute: or gas :sigh:
Dang I liked Barbara Walters :candle: not really that pope though :nono: and I does like the new one muches better too :thumbs:
"So all them builded speakers, and what do ya do with 'em? :huh: "
Some find new homes ... often because they were designed to fit these new places, most git reborned as newer speakers, some return to the parts drawer/shelves awaiting new projects and a few have gone to DoogWill on account of them being too nice to tear down/salvage and were made to :electrocute: standards so anybody can plug and play them :angel: Like this one from Thingiverse Bluetooth Speaker (BOSE Design) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2943196) ... I printed a slightly larger one where I modified the wavequide then hardened the walls with siguie brand epoxy and silicate. Mine wasn't bluetooth enabled but werked with a stero plug.
Anywho it was srsly nice :wubsigh: and optimized for EDM {Electronic Dance Music} only problem was it was a BIG box and I didn't has room for it so DoogWill :angel:
FYI: One or Two {for stereo} of these Project Panels (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Project-Panels-Formular-1-in-x-2-ft-x-2-ft-Rigid-Foam-Board-Insulation-Sheathing-PP1/203553730) and one or two Vibe-Tribe - Troll Mini (https://amzn.to/3WU72Hx) and you can create an :egg: ceptional speaker for under $40 {$80 for stereo} :yes:
I'm not recommending anyone does this :nono: 'cuz with a tiny bit more effort they can be made even better and the Troll Mini is only doog for 2hours wireless. But it's sumthin that is easy and simple and "can" make a room SUDDENLY has amazin audio. Like my garage where I has an echo flex with a :carp: speaker BUT surpringly doog blueteethz :thumbs:
By the wayz it's :rain: ing with lotsa :windy: and my :electrocute: has :bean: out for atleast an hour and I didn't even notice :muaha:

That Hall Y'all youtube guy said you could get LOTS of rain like 6-8". And that mountainsides would likely not hold this time. :sigh:
That was a couple days ago tho so hopefully things have changed.
It was an absolutely beautiful day here today, too. :spring: Mid 60s for the next 3 days & then the possibility of :rain: and :twister: before we cool back down once again. :yoyo: :enjoyitwhileyoucan: :crazyeyes:
Boy oh boy energies are wound tight today. :wtf: I feel like screaming, or crying, or sleeping :hysterical: or something for no reason at all.
And J ack i has been quite...um...challenging? mean? extraordinarily difficult & negative most all day. I can lift her out for awhile but then she just slides back down. :sigh: She actually bit her dad's head off this morning when she saw him cleaning out a kitchen cupboard. :huh: I dunno what she thought he was doing but she reacted extremely violently & then told me that she 'just wished he'd move out!'. :huh:
Obliviously, that started our day off really well.
:bsl:
Thankfully, all is calm & semi-bright now. :sparkle:

I'm up for awhile. :ladybug: may have to go into hospital. HOBS hasn't been kicking or moving at all today. They told her to sit and drink water with ice in it. If he doesn't start kicking within the two hours, or if there are less than 10 kicks if he does, they want to meet us at the ER.

So, HOBS apparently did not like the ice water surprise. He started kickin' up like a crazy guppy. I says what you did, Asiel. :chuckle:
Glad J is feelin' better about sffuts. :rainbow:
:sigster: how are you doin' with all that crazy weather and water and mudslides happenin' ? I mean I know you're always prepared, but I have one job which is to worry abouts things. So there ya go.

Guppy... :rofl:
So it's 72 outside. :huh: And makes me wanna get in 'grow mode' but I noes better. :nonono:
It's just a tease. :sigh: And :shiver: will be back. Like later this week. :laugh:
So I :frolic: & :sun: :om: :sun: and continue getting my house in order so I can :asiel: :leisa: :farmninja: asap.
In other newses...my hair is falling out. :eek: And breaking badly. :pullhair:
And I am certain it is covid + the supposed UTI (I still say there was more to that) triggered.
I don't use harsh chemicals, don't blow dry, don't straighten or curl. I use a wide tooth detangling comb, a little bit of conditioning mousse or leave-in conditioner spray & air dry.
So I am going to see my stylist, Kirby, on Thursday & am getting it all chopped off!!
I am so ready & tired of it falling in my face when I'm doing stuffs.
Just like a damaged, overgrown bush, I needs a good healing cutting back. :treehug: :bsl:
I figure it's long enough to donate (again!) but I don't know if it's healthy enough. :dunno: I will ask.
Last time I saw Kirby was at the end of August & she said, "I'm not thinning it this time cuz most all of my clients who've had covid are experiencing some degree of hair loss.". She was right. :faint:

Meh not really even a thang :nono:
Yes there were mudlsides 'cuz that's what happens in mountains when it :rain: s and yup we had a flood advisories and even a coastal flood evacuation alert ... though that's mostly due to the King Tide just las week and there are still HIGH high tides Plus a storm so yeah flooding :yes: But not me :nono: much likes the near constant :electrocute: outages :muaha:

I do feelz bad for the people recovering from those previous fires though :uhoh: ya see THEY are the ones that are gonna has serious mudslidage :horror: But not me :bliss2:

Um yeah :roll: you can blame covid and the UTI and whatever you likes 'cuz this time yer right :huh: I noes weird :faint:

Well okay, Sig, just don't float nowheres without letting us know. Yeah, they does need this rain, but it has to be sustained. The ground isn't gonna absorb that easy because of the extended drought conditions. :(
Asiel, how are your B complex and iron levels? Sometimes that can have an effect on hair health. I'm guessin' covid can throw the system out of wack that way. Maybe snack on trail mix that has walnuts, sunflower seeds, raisins? I bet you'll look downright cute and fae like in a little pixie cut. :rainbow:
I'm feelin' wind and rain. Too much wind and rain all over the place. It's gonna be busy this year.

Mr, :smateypants: they said this :quake: was much more violent than the one just 2 weeks ago tho the magnitude was not greater.
And several homes near the epicenter have sustained damages to the point of being unliveable as is. :yes:
Walnuts :drool: I has to stop myself from eating too many. :chuckle: And we eat sunflower seeds now, too.
Teck :nickel: ly we are not apposta eat seeds nor nuts but :mrskinnypants: needed more fat & he needs to raise his HDL so...
Raisins... :yucky: For some reason I feel like I'm eating little worms. :uhoh: :rofl: B loves them.
And thanks for the encouragement. I've worn super short hair before...all through my 20's. And then had it cut short in the early 2000's and twice just since we've been here. It grows super super fast... :run:
My nails grow super fast, too. :run: I regularly hafta cut them back so I don't hurt myself. :rofl:
Gelatin... :check: Maybe. :yes:
I am looking forward to a change, tho. Lightening up... :bliss:

Oh, quick :book:
Yesterday I received 4 copper/stainless Indian (from India :p ) bowls. They are beautiful & made our morning oatmeal quite speshul.
But I had no idea from where or whence or whom they came! :huh: :scratch:
My name was spelled right on the package so that was a clue.
I had commented on how I'd like bowls like that when we had Indian doof on my bday. Another clue.
So I first asked Zen Aunt. She's been to India, loves the doof & culture (mostly :laugh: ) & was there at the bday luncheon.
Nope. Not her.
Then I asked :siguie: cuz he knows how to spell my name.
Nope. Not him but he did clue me in that it was from an Amazon seller.
Next, I asked my niece, Chloe, who spent a month at a yoga school in India & was also at the luncheon.
Nope.
But... she says...
Her mom (my sister!!!) sent them & Chloe had indeed tipped her off & picked them out. :wub: :wub:
What a fun 24 hour treasure hunt (hunting the treasure who sent the gift :wub: ) but boy oh boy it is quite strange contacting peoples & asking if they sent you a gift. :hysterical:
Seesters.

I dunno what I was thinking but when I got to Amazon to look at it I SUDDENLY realized that it comes from :cow: :doh:
I have not had any form of :cow: including broths since I had the wicked hives 8 or more years ago.

"Mr, :smateypants: they said this :quake: was much more violent than the one just 2 weeks ago tho the magnitude was not greater. "
Quakes generate S and P waves and the magnitude is just the :egg: penditure of energy ... unless yer on top of the fault there really isn't a more or less violent measurement :nono: Also I noes of no homes destroyed by a paltry 5.4 quake :nono: ... 6.4 :yes: ... it can happen but it ddin't make any newses here :nono:
Ok the copper bowl :book: was doog :thumbs: but why no pikturez :buttkick: or atleast an amazon listing :share:
"Sig...don't you think I'd be allergic to gelatin? :huh: "
:woe: no but you'd prolly beleebz you is :yes: :woo:
Gelatin is just hydrolyzed protein ... iffen you has some mamby pamby critter eatin issues just git the veggie equivalent ... ya noes hydrolyzed vegetable proteins ... the thang ya want is the peptides or as small fragments of amino acids as you can git AND no this doesn't mean yer amino or peptide soy sauce knock off :carp:
Iffen you eat :cow: gelatin yer doog iffen ya eat sumthin else plant or :mushrooms: produced ... yer maybe ok but won't have the right ratio of amino acids :nono: You can start adding the obliviously missing ones like glycine or mix and match with essential amino acids BUT then you'll need to noes what yer doing and unerstanz absorption and amino acid ratios for what you is trying to does. There's also supplementing with short proteins and eating protease enzymes like bromelain which will essentially hydrolyze the proteins into the corresponding amino acids in yer stomach which is what should happen anyways, just much more efficiently ...
OR there's :cow: gelatin :whistle:

Quote"It was crazy. The earthquake felt more violent this time," Garnes told CNN. "It was shorter, but more violent. My refrigerator moved two feet. Things came out of the refrigerator. There's a crack in my wall from the violence of it."
Garnes said a neighbor's house also had a crack in the wall from the quake.
This is the second earthquake to strike the Northern California region in less than a month. A 6.4 earthquake that shook the region on December 20 left two people dead. Garnes said 27 homes were red-tagged – meaning they were unsafe due to damage – and 73 homes yellow-tagged in Rio Dell from that quake.
"We are kind of starting over – we had moved from our response to recovery, and now we are basically in both," Garnes told CNN's Pamela Brown Sunday. "We have to be back in response because the southern end of town really took it hard this time."
The mayor said 30% of the town's water is shut down and the town lost "pockets" of power. There is a 35-foot crack in one of the town's main roads, she said.
Some homes and buildings that were damaged in the December quake were damaged more Sunday and some may have to be torn down, Garnes said.

We had a gift mystery too! :ladybug: gots a package and it was a winter jacket that fit her perfectly, is warm and soft, not too thick, and we has no idea who it's from. :huh: So, whatever :angel: sent it, which we still can't figure out, they done good. :wub:
Gelatin, and all the scienctifics breakdown... :yes: I knows that is true. But Sig, I can't even begin to actually write about it like you did. :rofl:
I doesn't do gelatin oblivilisoly. That's why I gets vegan vitamins. No gelatin. Also look for it in ingredients. It's :ninja: like casein and honey is, so I gots to pay attentions,
That earthquake ya'll are talkin' about. I saw that in the news, and they says what Asiel said. It was shallower. Iffin I remember, doesn't that has somethin' to do with physical dynamic that is felt? :hmm2:
Today it's going up to 52F and :sun: Gonna be like that til Thirday. Then it changes.
I has styrofoam from packages the kids got, and I ain't happy about it. I doesn't like that sffuts at all. :mad: It ain't recyclable, and why it's still used is beyond me, There are alternatives. Okay that's my NY *itching for the days. :drama:
Gotta go and finish my "To Do" list. You know, them things that don't get done. :bsl:

So the damage was from the 6.4 which is 10 timez more :boom: than the 5.4 ... just ya noes the fiver didn't feel as pleasant :dunno:
Oooh purty pots but Dang copper, stainless steel, brass and what looks like a steel rod rivet tying them all together ... can you sez redox :horror:
:chuckle: It's nuthin really just keep doof below the rivet level and dry well after washing but there is a reason not to :electrocute: connect different metals together :oz:
Yup minions are here it was the 2nd :whip: though one or two are on :egg: tended holidaze :hmm2:
We has :rain: :woohoo: ... ya noes agin ... yeah ... and two more storms coming after tooesday :horror:
"I has styrofoam from packages the kids got, and I ain't happy about it."
Take a coffee can or any metal disposable thang and add about an inch of acetone then start adding the styrofoam an amazinly HUGE amount goes into the solvent :yes: When yer done you can cast it on a piece of foil and make a weather resistant block or all sorts of cool thangs :yes: I used the paste to seal a minor leak in a pipe AND it's still sealed after all these yearz :thumbs:
You can also use it to make tiki torches and or whaterproof ffuts :yes:
Oh and the eco friendlier option is to use orange oil as the solvent but that ffuts is more :egg: pensive and doesn't dissolve nearly as muches :nono: Anywho search for a youtube on dissolving styrofoam I'm sure there are tons 'cuz it's very dramatic :yes:
As for amino acids ... yeah it's a HUGE topic with oodles of variables and the minutia can makes big differences and there's not only the quantities and ratios but also absorption over time and frequency of use differences yada yada ad infinitum :blah: :blah: The thang is how and how often you ingest proteins OR peptides OR amino acids has an almost bigger effect BUT the thang to noes is that one way or another ANYTHIN yer body builds will require the basic amino acid building blocks EVEN bones which is where gelatin often comes from :yes:
The thang is B's less muskular look is partially due plants not hasing as much branched chain amino acids as well as missing some essential amino acids AND atleast in some cases one reason there are vegetarians with chronic anemia even after supplementation with iron and all the B vitamins is from low glycine levels :yes: That's why I gave dad a thang of glycine :angel: In order to make hemoglobin your body requires 8 glycine molecules per globin. When there's low supplies thangs git triaged :uhoh:
Anywho there are only 20 of them and you can git most of them in a handy mix or individually BUT it's doog to see what each does in particular and of course which yer diet has lots :yes: of and which it don't :nono:

Back home briefly from the hospital. Bug's water broke. She's 2cm dilated, but she isn't in labor. Hoping we can keep it that way for at least the next 4 days, or a bit longer if possible. It's too soon. She's at 33 wks. She is staying in hospital. On steroids, cultures for a possible occult infection, antibiotic. The steroids are for Hob's lungs. Gotta :run: Will keep you posted.

Rain, rain, rain & more rain. :wtf:
We're also under a :twister: watch but it looks like we're well past the part of a system where :twister: s develop.
In other words...just rain mixed with heavy rain, no severeness here now. No clashing energies.
:umbrella:
In other newses... I been having lots of frenetic dreaming for the past week or so. Last night was especially 'busy'.

No :twister: for you Asiel. I refuse to let that happen. :nonono: Not that I'm listened to, but in my world I reign. :laugh: Do you remember anything from the dreams? :hmm2: We're getting steady rain, heavy at times. It's damp enough that it feels colder in the bones.
Bug is holding her own. Still no actual labor. Irritable uterus though. They're trying to get her to Friday. That will make it an even 33 weeks. Plus, the steroids will be more set into her system. HOBS will likely be in the NICU for about 2 weeks. I don't think it's sunk in completely how critical this is to HOBS's lungs to her. I'm not going to press it. She's calmer now, and that is what is needed the most. She doesn't feel she will make it to Friday. I think that is her wanting it to be over with.

He will come when he needs to. :yes: My water broke at 35 weeks. I had had an uneventful pregnancy.
The doc would say, "You're doing great. Get out of here." in a loving manner.
But then J's heartrate began dropping rapidly & BOOM! I was in surgery for a C-section.
The placenta had died without anyone knowing & she'd been starving.
The doc was shocked (as were we) & said, "That baby kicked her way out of there. One more day & she might not have made it." :luvcry:
Point is...things happen the way they are meant to. :sparkle: Hobs comes from strong, fighter blood. :shera:
Tell :ladybug: that I am thinking of her, sending Love, every minute.
As for dreams...snippets... Lots of activity, lots of action. You & :ladybug: & Hobs were coming here in one dream a week or so ago (that might have been relating to this moment cuz you are here :sparkle: )
In another, B was in the hospital & I was going up & down a hallway, doing this & that, talking to lots of people,
In another there were :twister: s all around us and we just watched. (I felt that one symbolic)
Last night 2 elderly wealthy people were here, and my neighbor Marilyn, & a bunch of kids. THe house was embarassingly messy & I was making soup. The couple were observing or something...they were quite curious about our lifestlye. They went outside & there was a camper with a guy inside also cooking. The couple were intrigued by the whole camper thingy. :dunno:
Just busy, busy, busy like that. Been sensing something coming.
I've also been feeling Jen & Jodi around a lot. And, of course :siguie: put them both at the top of the page.
Didn't think a lot about it cuz it's been holiday season. But now...

I was reading bout that :boom: cyclone but if you are speaking it then it's for real. :scared:
One thing I learned from the Buffalo disaster was to have emergency supplies in the car. I mean, I knew...and in Ohio we always had blankets, sand bags (for weight not flooding :chuckle: ) & the basic emergency kit with flares et al. We also had no cell phones in that time. But here... we've gotten complacent.
But you need snacks at the very least. :chuckle: And extreme caution lest the roads become impassable. :shifter:
I noes you are prepared, but just be safe. :sparkle:
And yeah... It seems the girls are often around. :ghost: :violet: , too.

Anywho iffen the roads are closed in the morning I'm on holidaze :bliss: Iffen I make it ober the hill then I'm prolly hanging with dad in the evening :no:
This thang is being referred to as the Pineapple Bomb Cyclone since it's part of the pineapple express and it's already being billed as going to be a "most memorable storm" plus the storm agency says ...
Anywh the way I read the weather data it's gonna be like a ginormous hose hitting north then mooving south, the only question is at what point will the rain meet the :windy: :hmm2:
Iffen the :windy: hits first THEN the rain minimal impact until Thursdazed :yesss: iffen they hit together :offtobed: 'cuz there's no way I'm making it to werk. Worst case scenario is iffen the :windy: comes AFTER the main rain :horror: in that case I'll be off til munday :yesss: though dad might throw a fit iffen I miss Friday Kale night :uhoh:
Oh man there is one even worserer possibility ... what iffen the old sandbaggin crew thinxz to drop by siguie manor :sofa: It's :bean: years now and I changed cellphone numberz so I'm sure I'm fergetted BUT better not answer any doors for the next few daze just to be safe :horror:

Quote from: National Weather Service "To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while," the statement read. "The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillside collapsing, trees down (potentially full groves), widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life. This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously."

Made it to werk :sigh:
Only the edges of the storm were getting into the mountains so no issues. Getting back right now is not possible due to :blowme: debris :no: BUT there's gonna be a 4h lull which means I may be able to sneak back home iffen I leaves an hour earlier AND there are no more mudslides ... downed trees are :boom: and cleared in an hour or less ... mudslides take vastly longer :uhoh:
Tech :nickel: ly I thinxz KalipHorniya is under a state of emergency :frantic: but it's mostly due to :windy: with 50 to 60mph gusts. So far only about 1.5 inches of :rain: which is a lot but not horrible but then the storm for tonight should drop another inch or three :hmm2: I thinxz I can git home but will prolly be hasing Thursdazed off :yesss: perchance Friday too :matt:
In other newses ... as :egg: pected :electrocute: issues eberywhere :bliss: Yeah I noes but I brought power into my office just 'cuz I can :muaha:
Dang was kinda hoping to hear some doog newses about :ladybug: but I guess PaNanna :hysterical: NannaP is a tad busy :sigh:

Well first, :sigster: you better stay safe. I had no ideaz about that :uhoh: weather you waz havin' but I ain't been on the spiderwebs much the past day or two. Keep us updated for sure.
Leisa, I does think you tapped in with those dreams. They were very intuitive. Them's pay attention dreams, for sure. Each one of them is sayin' something to you; giving you a heads up so to speak.
So, HOBs will be here either Jan. 6th or maybe Jan. 7th. He will be a 5 just like Zanna. No infections, no nothing. They have no idea why her water broke like it did. It's not all the way gone. HOBs's head is acting like a drain plug. Doc says he doesn't want to go longer because there's always the issue with the cord. I knew that, but I wasn't the one gonna say that. Let the Doc say that. Anyways, he's all ready at 5lbs, he has been practice breathing since 10 weeks, and the Doc saw it on his US at 20 wks. He will be in NICU for 2-3 weeks. :ladybug: gosh she's somethin' :rainbow: Her milk has all ready come down. She told them that it's like a fish that outgrows a tank. He's outgrown his tank, and her body knows it, so it's just time. I think she's right about that.
They let her come home today. Her anxiety was through the roof, and Doc felt it was safe and prolly better for her. Plus he knows we're very aware. She immediately relaxed as soon as she got here. We are monitoring diligently.
The sun has set, it's after 8pm, and our temp. is 54F :faint: Rain was constant today. Steady and sometimes heavy. Tomorrow is supposed to be another weird warm day, but then Friday will get a little more "normal".

Be sure and tell her (when the time is right) not to be in a rush to bust him out of the NICU cuz once they leave they can never go back. Like a reverse Hotel California. :yes: They has to go to regular floors once they've been home cuz of germs & ffuts. :eek:
It's 5:55 right now. :windy: :babybug:

Solly about the :spring: time loss :therethere: I noes ya likes the warmz :console:
In theory our :rain: ends in about 2 hours and tomorrow will be a :sun: ny day :horror:
Oh I went to werks early ... it's Thursdazed :no: ... and there was a break in the squall line early morning so I ran quick :run:
All in all not too terrible a storm :nono: 100k PG&E-erz were without power but not me :cheer: and based on isobar pressure changes and :windy: speeds it was roughly equivalent to a category 2 hurriedcane. For the most part it was just too much water with too strong :windy: with gusts up to a hunert ... and then the tippy trees :treehug: :luna: had some issues.
I'm calling this round Over :cleanse:
"Conserving :electrocute: in VR, but are you conserving in real life? :pie: "
In real life I don't needz to conserve :muaha:
Srsly though I watched the end of Wednesday in Netflix VR which is like a ginormous theatre screen with really doog siguie brand sound :angel:
Doog show :yes: concluded too fast :gaah: they really shoulda had one more episode BUT still really doog show :thumbs: Jenna Ortega must be really teeny tiny :wheee: in real life 'cuz they always has her in lift shoes and still she's small. Thang is I don't think the director realized she cannot run in them thangs :hysterical:
"So happy to hear about :ladybug: and her Buglet. :wub: "
Ooooh I likes that term Buglet :hysterical: :thumbs:
Also yup basically eberyday AFTER today puts HOBS in the clearerer ... they'll still NICU him until he qualifies as fully termed but he should have cleared the most dangerous bits :beerme:

In real life I don't needz to conserve :muaha:
Srsly though I watched the end of Wednesday in Netflix VR which is like a ginormous theatre screen with really doog siguie brand sound :angel:
Doog show :yes: concluded too fast :gaah: they really shoulda had one more episode BUT still really doog show :thumbs: Jenna Ortega must be really teeny tiny :wheee: in real life 'cuz they always has her in lift shoes and still she's small. Thang is I don't think the director realized she cannot run in them thangs :hysterical:
"So happy to hear about :ladybug: and her Buglet. :wub: "
Ooooh I likes that term Buglet :hysterical: :thumbs:
Also yup basically eberyday AFTER today puts HOBS in the clearerer ... they'll still NICU him until he qualifies as fully termed but he should have cleared the most dangerous bits :beerme:

So I'm short. :rofl: Not my height...still 5'7" :hysterical: But my hair. :eek:
It's a bit shocking :electrocute: but also super fun! Every time I catch myself in a mirror I go :huh: :rofl:
Yeah, I noes...pictures. :woe:
This moment it is kinda curly & poofy & sticky out everywhere from the night. Maybe I can catch me after showering. :chuckle:
We gotta go out today.
Was reading about XBB1.5... it said they don't know iffin the bivalent vax is effective against it.
Does you know, sig?
And does we (J & B in particular) need a boost? I'm a bit :uhoh: about the bivalent for B. More a gut thang than an informed thang.
Mostly I am just thankful once again to live in a low population area. :happydance:
We'ze going grocery shopping today & there will be hardly anyone in the store. :bliss2:
Although, as prices have continued to rise more people have been catching on to the savings at Ruler Foods. :dangjustdang:
But it's still not nearly as crowded as a Walmart...the south's favorite store. :sigh: :yucky:
Happy :fullmoon: to the West Coast :siguie: to the Northeast :mina: and far far over the sea :michafire:
Glad the Bay Area & beyond fared better than predicted. :yes:
I'll be back later to see iffin we has a :buglet: yet. :magic:

:woe: srsly ... pretty close to not at all 'cept for peoplez with no previous vaccines or :egg: posure.
Also :buttkick: didn't youse all just has the covid {omicron flavoured} not too long agoes? :scratch: The bivalent vax is just original flavour plus a smidge of omicron for garnish. The ONLY reason to git a booster is iffen ya want more of the antibodies circulating BUT even then those antibodies are not particularly effective against the new strains.

Srsly no matter how you math it don't make sense to git the vaccine now :nonono:
Happy Friday! :cheer:

Well... while we were sitting on the blood bus waiting to donate (yes...a bus :roll: ) I read a USA Today article that said the 20% of peoples who have never had covid were gonna get the newest version & the 80% who have had any version, vaccinated or not, were all likely to get this version as well. Regardless of masking, distancing, any mitigation other than complete bubblizing.
Ok...that last bubble part is me. :rofl:
B has been having more angina this week. And bad enough this morning that he took a nitro at work.
And we've changed nothing...been very doog, even through holidazes.
He says cold air seems to trigger it. I said he needs a scarf to cover his mouth & nose & breath warmer air. :yes:
Elsewise... :sigh:
If he continues to have angina then we'll get to see inside his arteries sooner than later. :sigh:
That's good & bad.
K... :popcorn: :horn: :buglet:

Yes eberyone is gonna git it :yes: but people will :egg: sperience the thang very differently. Stop looking at covid as git or avoid ... NOW it's about altering yer :egg: perience to minimally annoying, for the 20%-ers it's about not dying and avoiding the hopsickle.
As for B I say follow the Dr.E protocol :egg: xaclly for 2 weeks. If there's still a problem then there really is a problem. Otherwise it's the modifications messing thangs up :yes:
no newses :sigh:

:yesss: ya noes doctorz are sumthin like +/- 2 weeks on age estimates so he may have just been older than they thunked :yes:
Congaratz NannyP & :ladybug: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beer.gif)

As for B ... eberyone is different as to what effects them and more importantly what doesn't can aslo be different. Dr.E's success rate is basically 100% with compliant patients and regression of cardiovascular impairments is 73%. Though it looks like those who do not reverse their issues are either very old {late 90's} or have additional issues like a previous triple bypass.
"Why does the diet eliminate oil entirely? (https://www.dresselstyn.com/site/why-does-the-diet-eliminate-oil-entirely/)"
He never specifies or sources studies which makes it hard to work out BUT unfortunately there are many studies which agree with his perspective. There's no easy way to see iffen B falls into the group with negative oil effects but I still think his best chance for a free cheat would be sugar based :yes: But even that is not recommended :nonono: until he is angina free :angel:

So we really haven't been consuming any oil at all. I bought a new bottle of Cally Oil 3-4 months ago & have used maybe 2 tablespoons from it. I was axshully recently gonna axe you how long it lasts. And yes it's in a dark, cool cupboard.
But... we have had Beyond beef about twice a month & I noes that has coconut oil in it. Not as much as at one time, but still. :sigh:
Elsewise, except for the rare dining out we are oil free.
It's avocado & minimal walnuts that we do eat in moderation. :yes: I bought cod & chicken breast but he's said, no he didn't need it. He has had a couple 2.5 ounce packets of albacore tuna. That's it for 'cheating'. :yes:
Cuz he's down to 170. :uhoh: He cain't afford any less fat cuz there's not an ounce on him.
WE see the cardiologist next week & I'm interested in his take. Mom & ZA are worried about his diminishing body size.
I am less worried than before cuz his energy has been better but still...he looks like a cancer patient. :sigh:
He has been drinking a vegan protein powder shake with oat milk every day. And eating much less cuz he says his stomach has shrunk & he cannot eat any more.
I think his genetics, combined with his belief since 1986 that he is just like his dad & would have the same fate is so very strong.
And I also wonder if the diet is 'debriding' the arteries & bits & pieces are 'flaking' off & causing turmoil? Yeah... :whatever:
Have you seen this? https://studyfinds.org/tricaprin-heart-disease/
His triglycerides were quite high & we thunk it coconutty but maybe not... :dunno:

12h of (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/zzzscratch.gif) Niiiiiice almost like its Sundaisy :yesss: :cheer:
Olive oil lasts 12 to 24 months but begins oxidizing as soon as you open it so flavours can begin to degrade, which is why it's recommended to use up doog oils in 6 months or less :oz:
K I don't want to waste doog rationalizing :nono: perchance there's sumthin new causing issues and you can wait for the doc to asses thangs :angel:
The point I keep making about oil is that ALL oil can be inflammatory to the microvessels and it takes 10 to 14 days {on average} for the vessels to deflame/outflame :scratch: ... be nermal agin :yes:
Also B started taking another one of those biologics which srsly messes eberythang ups :woe: Dr.E's protocol tended to solve many patients issues with psoriasis ... generally within 3 or 4 months. The problem is that psoriasis has a link to CVD and I'm purty sure it's a pro inflammatory one and them biologics just mess up the mechanisms sumthin fierce :sigh:
Anywho ya mentioned a dermatologic visit by any chance is the psoriasis getting worse in pace with the angina? :whistle:
In any event wait ans see what the doc sez :yes:
"He has been drinking a vegan protein powder shake with oat milk every day. "
Why on :earth: would you make him does that :scratch: He has scrawny little T-rex arms 'cuz his nermal vegan-esque diet lacks the amino acids needed to build bulk :flex:
Iffen he wants seeable muskles he needz NOT vegan amino acids ... srsly just look up body building amino acids basically he needs more essential amino acids, branched chain amino acids of which many iffen not all are EAA :scratch: oh and Glycine :yes: Srsly vegetationists basically all need more glycine :yes: The best source is :cow: gelatin but there's always Amazon :whistle:
Tricaprin :hysterical:
K yes it's a real thang :yes: and NOT at all for B :therethere: it's bascially a medium chain triglyceride and why coconut oil is so doog at declogging that type of artery cloggery AND it's not the type B has :nono: his is the hard cement like calcified deposits :therethere:
Take a quick look at this Link (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjd.20940). Nermally I wouldn't include it 'cuz it's a tad tricky BUT just has a quick look a the summary then thinxz what kind of effect would this has on B ... it's not a thang for B to try but it should illustrate the difficulties of figuring out what a biologic does to endothelial systems :horror:

:horn: :michafire: WAKE UP!!! :pie: Just kidding. Nice to see you & boy oh boy do I understand.
On Friday afternoon I got so sleepy I thought I was gonna hafta pull over on the way home from the grocery store. :huh:
I really had to fight to stay awake.
K sig, so I am totally confused now. :crazyeyes:
Dr E says absolutely nothing with a mother or a face. No dairy, no meats, no nothin...
We/he are sticking to his protocol.
So what kind of protein powder would be best? :huh:
And yes, his prescription ran out & he was off the Otezla for about 3 weeks. The psoriasis quickly began resurfacing on his knuckles, & elbows & on the shins where it had been oh so bad you could see it just under the surface, ready to pop. :sigh: SO in my opinion the diet vastly improved the psoriasis cuz winter is :devil: time, but it did not go away & he was afraid it was gonna goes full blown.
He's been back on it for 2 weeks & yes it's the timeframe that the angina has come back. I mentioned that 'coinkidink' but he says he can withstand mild angina in exchange for no psoriasis if he has to.
But...he was on the Otezla for a full year before with no (known) issues. :dunno:
And it is NOT a biologic. IT is the least wicked of the psoriasis drugs.
https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/otezla-biologic-3538723/
One thing I does know is that lots of things are out of our control. :sigh: His dad had gotten a glowing report from the cardiologist just a few days before he died which compounded the shock value. I'll never forget the cardiologist at the funeral home saying, "I am so so sorry. He seemed to be doing so well. I don't understand.". :yes:
His dad was 56. :eek: B has felt like he was on borrowed time for the past 6 years but he was 61 before his feelings were verified.
And the good thing is, he's actually liking the diet now :wiggle: And soon as I/we worked out a cheat protocol he chose to remain strict. Typical kid. Once they gets permission to does a thing they no longer wants to. :rofl:

And it is NOT a biologic. IT is the least wicked of the psoriasis drugs.
QuoteNo, Otezla is not classified as a biologic agent. Otezla (apremilast) is a small molecule phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and oral ulcers associated with Behçet's Disease. It is taken as an oral tablet.
Otezla, from Amgen, works by blocking the phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) enzyme to lower inflammation in the body. Patients may see an improvement within the first few weeks of treatment, but its exact mechanism is not known.

20 Nutrients that Vegans & Vegetarians are Lacking (https://selfhack.com/blog/16-nutrients-vegans-arent-getting/)
The branched chain amino acids are valine, leucine, and isoleucine which is why the :wheee: little muskles for the vegettez :roll:
The Essential Amino Acids are valine, leucine, isoleucine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan.
The rest are considered Non Essential amino acids because your body can make them if needed BUT vegettez tend to be low on some of these like Glycine.
I'm going to show {agin} what I has BUT you should NOT just order them all willy and nilly likes :nonono: because I can guarantee B will not be able to easily tolerate the ffuts :yucky: AND there are other options :yes:
Essential Amino Acids Powder <= Amazon Link
Glycine Amino Acid <= Amazon Link
Personally I take TMG which is related to glycine BUT the pure Glycine I getted fer dad :oz:
Now just google the individual amino acids that you all are deficient in and see what their main or initial effects are like Glycine. Yes, it's non essential but it's a neurotransmitter, involved in collagen formation as well as hemoglobin ffuts AND more in fact it's one of the key building blocks for making the other NonEssential Amino Acids.
The question now is does your/B's diet contain enough. This answer will depend on what you/he eats, how much, bioavailability and over what time period.
Do NOT just git amino acids and start taking them :nonono: the body :egg: pects them from protein in doof ... too muches for too long has it's own but different problems :angel:
OhTesla is pure synthetic then :righton: it's still basically a "biologic" as far as psoriasis meds go the only difference is there is no original or partial biological source.
Anywho the point is whatever is done to effect the psoriasis will also effect the vascular system. In theory it could improve thangs BUT regardless it's a hard tilt when dealing with :balance: which is why it would have been better to avoid taking anything while starting the new diet. The thang is the majority of people with poriasis will :egg: perience a vast improvement BUT in B's case it's impossible to tell. What may have improved his skin through diet might be what causes the psoriasis to flare while taking the drug or any drugs :dunno:
" And soon as I/we worked out a cheat protocol he chose to remain strict."
That's prolly for the best because I don't noes how you decided oil was ok :wall: From the literature it sounded like the main thang he needed to avoid :yes:
We/he are sticking to his protocol.

Here's the HealthLine article on BCAA's ...
5 Proven Benefits of BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/benefits-of-bcaa)
"Studies show that BCAAs may increase muscle growth, reduce soreness and fatigue, prevent muscle wasting, and support liver health. They are also found in a variety of food sources, including meat, eggs, and dairy products."
Anywho the reason you herbivore types have lean wiry muskles and thin collagen low skin is 'cuz in general plant proteins do not contain sufficient amounts of the amino acids needed to synthesize these thangs. This goes back to the concept of "incomplete proteins" but in reality it has more to do with people not unerstanzing how much they are absorbing and how much they really need.
All plants contain ALL of the amino acids ... just not as much as some 'cuz they don't has muskles, skin or hair. However, by eating certain plant you can git a "complete protein" source like :bean: s and rice BUT most people never bother to lookup what the definitions are nor, how much they absorb NOR how much they actually need minimally AND optimally :angel:
In any event I asplains why the complete/incomplete protein ffuts is a Myth :yes: ... it's in that siguie nutrition thread :oz: The real problem is some people need some thangs more than others. However, most don't unerstanz what they need OR where whatever it is they needz come from or what happens when yer body is low ... like Glycine :rimshot:
Gelatin just happens to contain 30% to 35% Glycine 'cuz it comes from connective tissue. However, Gelatin is NOT glycine :nono: it's hydrolyzed proteins aka pepetide chains. The thang is the smaller the peptide chains are the better {or more quickly} they appear to werk. This means taking the amino acid directly has some advantages BUT can also cause problems ... some of which can be very serious ... espeeshully too much too fast OR ober time too long.
For realz amino acids can have significant effects which is why you should research each one :yes: At the very least research the overdose effects :angel:
Anywho a vegetable protein drink is a better option for a carnivore than an herbivore who already gits those amino acids :roll:
Also I thinxz taurine is another important amino acid that should git supplemented.
Oh and for muskles creatine :thumbs:
K there ya goes that's my basic amino acid knowledgez I has and takes EAA's about once a week when I amemberz but taurine and creatine eberyday :yes: sometimes TMG too {glycine-esque but with advantages}. Eberythang else comes from gelatin which I literally has kiloz of and of course delicious :cow: :wubsigh:

Why does it have to be so complicated? :gaah:
Why can't one just consume healthy doof & be healthy? :broccoli:
Thank you ,thank you, cuz that was a lot to write out. :faint: And a lot to take in for someone like me (& most mortals) who noes very little about it all. :crazyeyes:
But now...
This time in space...
On Aug 27 (Nashville) he had the major angina episode.
And then no more for 4 months.
But as of the past 2 weeks he has had angina (mild) most every day & at least 2 pretty severe episodes which required nitro & triggered tachycardia & arrhythymia. One of those tonight. :sigh:
After dinger. Out of seemingly nowhere.
And no...no grilled :cheese: :buttkick: We had a simple side salad of romaine, cucumber, onion & tomato & fettucine with a quick mushroom/spinach sauce. No oil. :p
Thursday. Thursday is the cardiologist appointment, not Friday. I forgotted...speshulists rarely work on Fridays around here. :sigh:
Unless they in a hospital.
Anyway... he & I both feel like there is somethin else going on. :sigh:
I would not be surprised if the doc wants more tests.
It's quite frustrating when you feel like you have been doing everything in your power to heal oneself & then have a significant setback. :sigh:

That is a lot to try and tackle Asiel. :( I wish I had a magic wand at times like this. :sigh: Keep us posted, and give :hug: Lots of them. As far as amino acids go, like Sig said. It's about complementing meals; combining foods so that the best amount of amino acids are together, and can be absorbed together. Maybe this can help point you in a less overwhelming direction: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/complete-protein-for-vegans#6.-Spirulina
Again, spirulina really keeps whispering at me when I read the stuffs... There is a great dish that involves brown rice, lentils, onions, and fresh spinach leaves that is tasty, and you might want to try. It's called Mujadara. I'm more partial to the Lebanese style, because I like to use lemon in it. It can be easily adapted using no oil. Simply smother the onions with water instead of cooking them in oil, and other small adaptations doesn't ruin the recipe. Here's a starter recipe that may help. https://elavegan.com/mujadara-lentils-rice/
Sig, your weather is still making me worry about you. Keep us posted on what is going on, and that you're okay. Lots of rain...lots... :uhoh:
HOBS is so dang strong, and definitely holding his own. He is a bit jaundiced and under lights right now, but that is not at all unusual and easily fixed. :thumbs: He's feeding from a syringe/bottle, and his sucking reflex is functioning. He's on room air. Kid is so strong. :rainbow:
I have to :run: for groceries, errands, taxi stuffs, and keep the day to day going. Loves all of yous. :wub: :hug:

:cheer: I came for a Hobs report & there it is!! :sparkle::wub::sparkle:
I am sooooo happy to hear all of that. :shera:
So...he takes spirulina. 3 tablets 2x a day but he can up that. And last night we had pasta with spinach & mushrooms...tonight it's oll-free vegan dal. :laugh: He's eating tons of kale salad (the recent one has kale, spinach, choy, red cabbage, cilantro, quinoa, onion, celery, pomegranite, with my speshul sauce of rice vinegar & ponzu :drool: ) And leftover veggie burgers made with lentils, black beans and chickpeas (our favorite recipe so far :yes: )
We truly eat a conrucopia of vegetables, legumes, fruits & whole grains. Nothing is processed (store-bought) except by me. :shera:
We all take b12 or B complex & D3. I don't feel it necessary to stress over every teensy nutrient when we eat such a varied & complete diet. And he has finally rounded the curve where he will eat lentils, quinoa, etc & not feel like he needs vegan butters or sour creams or the likes. He does still crave cheese but the one I made with no oil or nuts was :yucky: Tasted like gelled potato. :chuckle:
I know I just feel better without :cheese: so that makes it easy for me to leave it behind.
So...in talking with my mom I realized that the recent rough patch may be directly connected to the holidays. :faint:
We had Indian doof...Mexican a couple times...the DQ ice cream cake (just a single piece)...coconut cake & he drank the boiled custard :sigh: (egg, sugar, milk)...Chinese. Even the healthiest restaurant doof (even vegan restaurants or vegan offerings) ALL contains some degree of oil. :sigh: And the cumulative effect... :boom:
So Mom suggested & I agreed that there be no more eating out period. (There might be 1 or 2 restaurants in Nashville we could go to) We can has McD's smoothies. :chuckle: They are just fruit & fruit juice. No dairy.
And I gotta up my takealong doof game. :yes: We will eat in the car or picnic when the weather is nice. :yes:
And save a ton of $$ cuz the restaurant doof is stoopy 'spensive for low quality doof.
B loves my hummus so that's a doog wrap foundation. I can do sprouts myself...my new ninja food processor does awesome shredded veggies. I can make no-tuna with chickpeas. Take homemade muffins, even cookies. What we are really :missing: is some sort of chip or cracker :scratch: :doh: Toasted wholegrain pitas or flatbreads (hard to find but usually on the clearance rack when I does find them :rofl: ) We eat plain pretzels & that's it.
It's impossible to go to Memphis or Nashville (or even just longer shopping in Jackson or Murray) without eating something.
Seriously...I'm just about to get a handle on this whole whole food plant based no oil thang. :chuckle:
It's a doog thing I love to cook. :rofl: And have always loved vegetable. :drool:
I told him this morning that I felt a bit disillusioned with the diet but after talking to Mom I realized that Dr E would call us out in an instant cuz of the holiday 'binging'. :faint:

Doctor didn't find anything wrong;
told him to see his regular doc ...
who send him to a "head" clinic for different diagnostics

So very many people are having 'ascension-type' symptoms & feeling the ever-changing planet now. They shoulda been reading way back when we were talking about dizziness...discombobulation...off-kilterness...woozies...etc. :rofl:
Though your coworker sounds like maybe a pinched nerve or somethin... :dunno:
Pandora, that recipe is so very very close to what I done made. :rofl: Obliviously we were on the same wavelength. :vibes:
And for a minute I thought...how did we get off on the protein thingy cuz I don't feel like we are missing anything & honestly I don't worry bout 'complete' proteins at individual meals. And then I remembered that it was becuz I causually mentioned the Vega Protein powder & I must have pulled :sigster: 's string. :hysterical: The protein powder is mainly to get some extra calories in him. That's it. He asked about Boost & I was like :yucky: :no: :bsl:
I'm much more a ForksoverKnives philosophy person. They also don't do oil...cuz it ain't a whole food. And assert that as long as you are eating whole foods & lots of variety you are getting all you need & then some. Partly becuz of the synergistic relationship between many foods.
Our dal was excellent. :yes: And the whole wheat naan was pretty good for a first try. I subbed applesauce for the oil & oatmilk soured with lemon for the vegan yogurt. I would have like it to be a bit airier but for plain ol whole wheat flour it came out extremely edible. :laugh:

Not really and certainly not by name :nono: you said sumthin about vegan protein drink for B 'cuz he looks like a cancer patient and I pointed out that a vegan protein drink wont change that 'cuz it's missing too many of the needed amino acidss for muskle development :flex:

Why would you think a protein powder offers many calories? :scratch: They are literally recommended for people trying to lose weight because they make you feel full longer AND are low on calories :roll:

That's a common misconception :therethere: It's again literally why so many vegetarians have mysterious health issues depending on what it is they are most deficient in :yes:

"Why can't one just consume healthy doof & be healthy? :broccoli: "
You absolutely could :yes: but meat is healthy and part of the diet omnivores evolved and adapted to :angel: You are the one trying to alter the diet to be inline with your own beliefs.
Also eating a little bit of some plants with "complete proteinedness" will only offset a small fraction of what a persons body is missing UNLESS it's done on a scale proportional to the rest of the doof you eat.
And agin how much protein is needed by a person changes based on age, activity level, gender, body mass. relative health and race and those are just the thangs off the top of my head. Also there's RDA levels which are a "minimum" OR "Optimal" levelz to consider.
Look here's an easy lookup to git an idea of what you, B and J ack i should consider a reasonable level for protein :yes:
Optimal Protein Intake Guide (https://examine.com/guides/protein-intake/)
Now look at the amount of doof you prepare, figure out the amount of protein, multiply by the percent bioavailable and you will has a rough idea of where you stand :yes: Of course the next step would be calculating the amount of amino acids that you are missing/needing. THAT quantity will give you an idea of IFFEN it's possible to git them from only plant sources and iffen not what supplements you should consider :yes:
Spoiler alert ... it "is" possible :yes: but NOT easy :nono: The simplest solution is understanding what and how much you eat, noes what you will be deficient in over time then mix thangs up as best you can to git what is missing in the right quantities THEN supplement what you fail to git :angel:
K I'm done :sealed:
Also I'm really tired :coffee: the roads are :carp: :offtobed:

K, I calculated yesterday's doof... :wiggle: Using this website: https://happyforks.com/analyzer
We does very well. :wiggle: But I doesn't yet know how to calculate bioavailability.
B especially cuz literally he eats all day long. A typical day for him starts with a
:banana: , the
:peas: protein drink (which also has powdered greens),
oh & the spirulina tablets have protein :p ...
oats with oat milk OR grape nuts also with oat milk,
hummus made with chickpeas, tamari, liquid smoke, lemon, garlic, red hot & aquafaba... assorted veggies for dipping usually celery, red peeper, carrots at minimum
a large serving of mixed berries &/or mixed fruit (previously frozen),
kale salad...
And this is all before lunch!!!
Then he has leftovers from the night before usually...right now he has veggie burgers or dal with brown basmati & naan to choose from. He may have taken both. :dunno:
For reals...he eats non-stop at his desk.
In contrast his officemate (only 2 of them use this large office) starts every single day with 2 very large frozen sausage & biscuits. Then in a couple hours he gets 2 large honey buns from the vending machine. :yes:
He constantly asks questions & comments on B's various foodstuffs. :rofl:
Then when he gets home he grabs the pretzels & mustard bottle, & a handful of gummy bears. :rofl:
Then dinger. :faint: And oftentimes more pretzels & mustard afterwards.
He's well fed. :rofl: And in hindsight it's easy to see that he just lost a lotta weight real fast so obliviously he lost muscle mass as well. Me, too. So now we got these new, lean bodies that we can sculpt as desired. :flex: His shoulder thingy has stopped him from lifting as he would like to do but strength-wise he is still stronger than the average 62 year old man. :yes: Still lifts 80-100 pounds at work every day (steel valves for railroad cars).
70 pounds he's lost in 2ish years (since the lam factry). From 240 down to 170. :faint: But he losted the first 30ish of those at the nursery, mostly sweating them off. :laugh: He's lost about 40 since May & that's solely from a lack of dietary fat. :yes:
We eat virtually no fat. :eek: Very very low fat indeed. :shera:
:thanks: for always helping me get better. :righton:
We does very well. :wiggle: But I doesn't yet know how to calculate bioavailability.
B especially cuz literally he eats all day long. A typical day for him starts with a
:banana: , the
:peas: protein drink (which also has powdered greens),
oh & the spirulina tablets have protein :p ...
oats with oat milk OR grape nuts also with oat milk,
hummus made with chickpeas, tamari, liquid smoke, lemon, garlic, red hot & aquafaba... assorted veggies for dipping usually celery, red peeper, carrots at minimum
a large serving of mixed berries &/or mixed fruit (previously frozen),
kale salad...
And this is all before lunch!!!
Then he has leftovers from the night before usually...right now he has veggie burgers or dal with brown basmati & naan to choose from. He may have taken both. :dunno:
For reals...he eats non-stop at his desk.
In contrast his officemate (only 2 of them use this large office) starts every single day with 2 very large frozen sausage & biscuits. Then in a couple hours he gets 2 large honey buns from the vending machine. :yes:
He constantly asks questions & comments on B's various foodstuffs. :rofl:
Then when he gets home he grabs the pretzels & mustard bottle, & a handful of gummy bears. :rofl:
Then dinger. :faint: And oftentimes more pretzels & mustard afterwards.
He's well fed. :rofl: And in hindsight it's easy to see that he just lost a lotta weight real fast so obliviously he lost muscle mass as well. Me, too.

Solar, I think? :sparkle::sun::sparkle:
Haven't been like this in quite some time. Well...except for a bit last Friday when I could barely stay awake driving home from the grocery. :rofl:
Solar downloads. Also feeling strange head thangs... not pain, not medical, just shooting, buzzing, intermittant & variable & not at all severe or lasting.

:b: just texted & his cardiologist's office left a message saying his LDL was excellent but his triglycerides are still high.
He recommended a trial of fish oil or omega 3s. He also said to be on a strict low fat diet. :laugh:
That's all they said. :sigh: They left no actual numbers.
We'll discuss both tomorrow.
Sig, there is NO coconut products in our diet other than the one piece of cake he had at Christmas.
I'm telling you, there's something different about B. You sure he doesn't have the triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV)? We don't know for certain that his arteries were calcified. Just that the plaque was very hard. Maybe the triglyceride deposits make it just as cemented? I'm off to read... :book:

"And in hindsight it's easy to see that he just lost a lotta weight real fast so obliviously he lost muscle mass as well."
That's only oblivious iffen he and you SUDDENLY became sedintary or are :egg: periencing sarcopenia or some such. You Do NOT lose muskle unless yer not using it OR your diet is so bad your body needs to eat it to survive :roll:
Also way to miss the point on the calculating :woe: Srsly that analyzer includes the amino acid break down in addition to the protein amounts ... THAT is what you want to noes :roll:
On average plant protein is ~70% bioavailable but only when cooked fresh greens eaten raw are ~10% bioavailable and even that depends on how well you macerate. Sprouted doof is an :egg: ception ... but it depends on the sprouting conditions and age.
Ok you seem to insist on doesing research yer way so :thwack: :buttkick: just look at this one thang and try to focus ... Glycine :yes: How much does B need and where is he getting it from AND why do you think this is enough ... and yes hoomanz can produce it naturally.
"Sig, there is NO coconut products in our diet other than the one piece of cake he had at Christmas."
Um ok where is this coming from and why would I think you was sneaking coconut? Iffen it's his triglyceride levelz it's because he's obliviously starved and popping gummy bears and pretzels after werk. Also srsly triglycerides is even less of a thing than cholesterol :roll:
"You sure he doesn't have the triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV)? We don't know for certain that his arteries were calcified. Just that the plaque was very hard. Maybe the triglyceride deposits make it just as cemented? I'm off to read... :book: "
A genetic defect resulting in incomplete hydrolysis of intracellular triglycerides ... :woe:
You can git a genetic test for it but so soooo unlikely :woe: Does you even noes what a triglyceride is? It's literally the major component of plant oils. Short and medium chain triglycerides like those in coconut oil are beneficial for all sorts of thangs including unclogging cloggy arteries like you mentioned about the Tricaprin :roll:
FYI: triglyceride hydrolysis done with lye is called Saponification ... it's how you make soap ... the results are not hard until you remove the water and even then you really need to add metal ions like sodium from salt. This is why store bought soaps are often harder but also why they leave more soap scum and hard water soap issues :yes:
Personally I wouldn't worry about his triglyceride numbers nor his cholesterol which I thinxz is too low :whistle: I think he needs to lay off the pretzels and gummy bears espeeshully iffen they is the doog Haribo variety :liplick: :secret: they use tons of oil and purty sure it's the palm kernel one which is about the worst possible for B.
Tomorrow will be a lot of head nodding but basically they are not going to tell you anythin 'cuz they have no data. Iffen thangs are not improving they'll either switch up the meds :woe: OR say off to the cath lab to :check: them blocky numbers OR an MRI with and without contrast now that's doog data :yes:
Sure B may have some speeshul new issue not seed afores but I kinda think he's improved very slightly and you need to remove oils and :bump: some nutrients. Oh and of course ask for an oxygen concentrator ... ya noes so as to avoid taking nitro ... :yesss:
Also check his resting SpO2 Levelz ... they are likely a percentage or 2 or 3 below yours. It's that methemoglobin thang ... taking nitro may be needed but it also takes it's toll. Keep in mind that angina is a signal that the :heart: muskle is not getting enough oxygen and hemoglobin is what delivers it AND B's tank includes methemoglobin which dilutes what's available plus makes the tank appear full.
Oh and don't ferget to git his hemoglobin numbers and anythin else like ferritin or hematocrit ... they is useful in noesing what yer body is doesing with the available iron ... which for plant types is generally a tad low to begin with :whistle:
Anywho :rain: and more :rain: :cheer: :wave: :run:

I recall that there are some meds that can elevate triglycerides like Beta Blockers, and corticosteroids to name a couple. Also, inflammation brought about by auto immune diseases such as psoriasis can also cause elevated triglycerides. One of these factors may be a root cause for B's high numbers.
HOB's bilirubin levels have been stubborn, but they came down a decent amount today to 11. He's been under light for about 3 days when they shot up from 7 to 18. I'll take 11 as a win in the right direction. :thumbs:
I'm off to bed. My stamina isn't what it used to be.

Like how long is looooong? :sigh: :therethere: No mock.
Yes, Callyfornya is washing into the sea. :earthheart: I saw on the newses where 80% of the state is affected in one way or another. :wtf:
Just be careful, sig. :sparkle:
And I readeded every word. The coconut :blah: was becuz when I had high triglycerides you :rofl: & said it was surely coconut.
And then I went down the rabbit hole of MCTs & how the tests doesn't separate the types of trigs becuz some are 'good', some are 'bad'. The triathlete PA I noes had super high triglycerides & she traced it to coconut. :yes:
Anyway... I watched a video where they took volunteers & had them document every bite, they were monitored to check blood sugar every 5 minutes & also stool sample & potty records continuously. Bloodwork daily.
So what they found was that everybody reacted differently to everything. :woe: So much so that it shocked them.
One lady's blood sugar would spike after eating tomatoes, the rest did not. They were looking at vegans with high triglycerides. Said carbs affected as much or more than fats. Remember, JAck & I are on the same diet! I am super strict, she is less so especially if she's with Mom. :chuckle: And I have not lost nearly as much weight nor muskel. :flex: I've never had great upper body strength but I can still do 20 squats quite easily. AND... I eat about 1/3 the volume of the same dang food. :yes: His metabolism is just so fast.
And muskle loss with diet is ALL that's talked about in weight loss info. They always say, "Careful not to lose weight too fast cuz you lose muskel". :sigh: But iffin you're losing too fast would you not also be calorie/nutrient deficient? :pie: Elsewise, one would not be losing weight at all.
My gut says he needs a piece of salmon or cod once a couple times a week. And I also believe the doctor will first want to put him back on meds. He's not taking anything (other than the psoriasis drug) to affect his triglycerides, Pandora. His heart rate (when healthy) is too low for beta blockers.
I gotta see the numbers tho. :yes: Gotta see how they moved cuz truly we have not been as strict as the first 2 months tho we have reined it back in in recent weeks. :crazyeyes:
The direct cause & effect of diet does not hold water. :nonono:
In Nashville, when he had the major event, we ate all we could find that night which was fried chicken tenders & :fries:
They were nasty. I had a teensy bite of the chicken & it was sad & dirty, cheap oiled. The :fries: were lightly breaded & cooked in that same nasty, overused oil. But we were starving so we ate what we could. And that was after having had a slice of greasy cheese :pizza: :yes: . The next morning we went to a vegan cafe where I had avocado toast which was doog but he was still famished & had the breakfast sammich with faux sausage, egg & bacon & cheese. ALL oily factry foods.
He had NO episodes for another 4 months & in that 4 months we had frozen :pizza: at least twice, Little Caeser's nasty :pizza: at least once... (yes, he craves :pizza: more than anything. Really he craves pepperoni but he's not had that) And he's had a slice or 2 at work cuz they order it in quite frequently.
And tho he's always sought the :pizza: with the lowest overall fat content the point is that it's far from compliant & he's had no issues whatsoever. So it's not like, eat this...have a heart attack.
I still feel like :carp: would take care of a lot of his diet-triggered issues, if not all. I also feel that an organic, boneless chicken breast would do more good than harm for him. J & I don't need it. I feel he does & I'm fine with that.
:sparkle: :HOBS! :sparkle: Seriously....savor the final moments before being awoken all night. :zzz: :rofl:

Oh & I forgot the most important thing...
His inner guidance says there's something wrong. :yes:
Remember, he was the ONLY one who said that before. Everyone was shocked, including the doc.
B was only surprised at the 100% blockage, not at blockages.
He also says he's gonna have a stent. Or 2. And hopefully not a bypass but he's mentally prepared if so. His words, not mine.
He's a scorpio. He knows things. :sparkle:
And I had that dang dream...he & I on a rollercoaster. TWO big hills that gave us major air time (when you fly above the seat). We've only done one. :sigh:

Together here and back varies but more than 6 hours less than 10 ... somewherez in that ballpark. BUT depends like today no problemz gettin here AND should be fine gettin back 'cuz today is a storm break but tomorrow :rain: followed by more :rain:
That and a rather large mudslide closed off two lanes so the oncoming lanes are split which means both ways have to merge :gaah:
Thang is after a decade or two ya kinda git used to it :matt:
I don't thinxz B will need stents :nono: honestly I'm not even sure why he thinks that :scratch: does he noes what stents do? Did the cardiologist sez that? :scratch:
Anywho, iffen yer on board with the oil asplination then I think that asplains it all :yes: There is no single trigger :nono: angina in B's case is a Jenga :yes: He does a series of thangs that weakens the :balance: then SUDDENLY Jenga :yes:
Oil is tricky and insidious, even a small amount can cause vascular inflammation and it typically last 10 to 14 :daisy: Iffen he gits a little each week then it builds faster 'cuz inflammed areas are more easily inflammed even more. This creates a nasty cycle of continuous inflammation.
The thang is microvascular"inflammation" doesn't show as anything it's just a slight narrowing making some cells wait longer to get their oxygen. It's only when those cells can no longer hold their breath and run out of reserves {myoglobin} that panic ensues :frantic:
Anywho think Jenga :cheese: + perhaps a hard day, too much salt or just emmotional turmoil and :boom: it's Jenga time :horror:
For realz iffen there was a single trigger it would mean he'd have gotten a lot worser :yes:
As for proteining up :woe: STOP :pullhair: Dr.E has a protocol that werks in basically 100% of cases Do NOT mess with it until B has gotten better enough that messing wont killz him :buttkick: Atleast that's how I seez it :yes:
For realz I noes zero other peoplez with :heart: issues but iffen I or someone I did noes had it I would strongly recommend Dr,E's protocol be followed :egg: actly as described in ALL of it's :horror: 'cuz even the most minor :heart: operations are way WAY worserer.

So you sleep while you drive (or sit in traffic)??? :gaah: :chuckle:
That's a steep price to pay for living where you does. Hopefully early retirement will be your reward. :happydance:
Oftentimes coming home from Paris, I don't see a single other car on the road for the last 6 miles. :cheer:
I hears you. :yes: And I understand. But I think, for now at least, he/we have chosen a different path.
His triglycerides jumped from 157 to 275. :faint: And his LDL went from 40 to 69. The HDL remains at 36 (supposed to be over 40).
He's going back on the statin & back on the so-so. :yes: Solly. :therethere:
At least for a couple months. Gonna check his cholesterol again in 2 months & hopefully stay out of the cath lab.
It becomes about quality of life, sig. :yes: I am a firm believer that our final end date is set & we cannot change that(tho we do have many early exit points...kinda like a :cat: ) BUT we can change the quality of life between now & then. :wiggle:
I think we got too aggressive in stopping the meds & thinking we could reverse the (calcified?) cloggy arteries. Dr. Gibson says the so-so is vitally important to help hold open the tiny collaterals. Even most, if not all, of Dr E's patients remained on meds. :yes:
Meanwhile we still gonna avoid oil. :righton: I get that. And we gonna eat whole food plant based...mostly.
And we still gonna eat to unclog...just more slowly.
Bottom line is we are gonna eat healthier than 99% of the US population. More in line with Blue Zones which are, by the way, NOT completely meatlos. :p Maybe more in line with The Pritikin or Ornish diets which both have proven records as well.
I still don't believe that B can sustain on a strict Esselstyn. :nonono: But we're still bobbing & weaving & doing the best we can.
Just striving to find that :magic: al :balance:
fwiw... I have read many many articles stating that statins do have merit for CAD patients & that they do seem to prevent :heart: attacks.

The weather should be getting downright :spring: y :yes: The atmospHeric river is sending lots of warm ... mostly ... moist air east and with the gulf upwelling you should git a little of the warmz even where you livez :yes:
Baby on Board :no: :frantic:
Yeah that's hard and skeery to imagine :horror: Stay strong NanaP :shera:
And git some sleeps while you can :yes:

The gubmnt finally admited them UAPs :egg: sist :faint: now it's a race to figure out where they from and what does they want :uhoh: Though I kinda ignore the "hazard" comments :roll: these thangs can literally fly circles around the fastest jets ... iffen they want to avoid them hazards stop trying to catch them ... they only eber seems to smack into the :earth: when nobody is looking :dunno:
:cloud: leopard :kitty: :wubsigh:
"So you sleep while you drive (or sit in traffic)??? :gaah: :chuckle: "
Yeah sometimez :yes: mostly I just eat snacks (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/eat.gif) and watch videos ... ya noes what I'd be doesing at home anyways :dunno:
"His triglycerides jumped from 157 to 275. :faint: And his LDL went from 40 to 69. The HDL remains at 36 (supposed to be over 40)."
So basically the only issue is STILL the low HDL :roll:
"He's going back on the statin & back on the so-so. :yes: Solly. :therethere:
At least for a couple months. Gonna check his cholesterol again in 2 months & hopefully stay out of the cath lab. "
Just had to go taste the Koolaide agin dincha :drama:
Actually I didn't noes he was off the statin :nono: I thunked it was an ebery other day thang BUT soso :no:
Like afores I'll just point out that roughly half of those with CAD have nermal LDL levelz and the fact that in order to make statins "prevent" :heart: attacks the abnormally high level number has been dropped from 300mg/dl to now 100 :woe: AND in order to have more people take statins proposals have been made to reduce that number further :woe:
Yes, statins can save lives and prevent thangs :yes: but when they are just prescribed based on numbers not so muches :nono: The main benefit for using a statin is to reduce the sticky :blob: plaque formations that gum up the vascular pipes and over time those plaques attract macrophages that under oxidative stress become Foam Cells. It's the foam cells and the shearing walls of arteries that cause the main problems, the other problems are slooow aging and loss of elasticity.
That said back at the cath lab B as I recall had very clean pipes ... just a couple of "cement" like cloggy bits. So why :egg: actly does he need a statin? :whistle:
Anywho keep in mind certain doof has immediate and long term adverse effects on the stickiness of cholesterol as well as turning off endothelial function. Basically oil/meat ... Dr.E's McD story.
Basically soso is a way B can eat oil and meat without worrying about the endothelial NO production. The endotheial cells are still turned off AND microvessels are still inflamed but enough NO is delivered by the soso to offset that.
The thang is when he was doesing that with the kale and vegitation he was letting his body heal the way it wants to :yes: ya noes :balance: and all that :carp:
Anywho, that's why when he was saying bye bye :bye: to the soso afores he shoulda gotted the non-time release ffuts for backup. He didn't kick the meds too soon :nono: he was fine for a long time :yes: He cheated too muches with the oil and meaty doogness for his health level at the time.
Atleast that's how I sees it :yes: YMMV :angel:
As for the diets yeah whatever werks for you all and you decide on is fine just unerstanz as far as I noes the Pritkin diet does NOT reverse :heart: disease or atleast not clogged arteries it just lowers your percents for getting clogginess :yes:
The Ornish diet does/can reverse :heart: disease and my unerstanzing is Dr.O was the first to show diet alone "can" reverse clogginess :yes: He was criticized by eberyone 'cuz he had a really small sample group BUT he had really doog MRI and the likes data of afores and after :angel:
As mentioned afores Dr.E's protocol is basically Dr.O's taken to the :egg: TREME :horror: He also proved the reversing with a much larger group of peoplez AND many with much worser conditions AND of those patients that complied ALL did miraculously well and the reversals of conditions are all 3 to 10 times faster than Dr.O's protocol. That's why I'm basically Team Esselstyn :cheer:
Also amemberz there was one Dr.E patient that was very similar to B condition and age wise and in 18 months he had complete reversal of a 50% -ish clog as shown by afores and after MRI.
As for Dr.E's patients on Meds ... sorta ... most reduce and eliminate the majority of their medications and Dr.E endorses statin use for those unable to reduce their cholesterol below 150. However, there are a lot of different meds for numerous different conditions so ... sorta :dunno:

I hears ya. :yes: But it's not me. :nonono: And the episodes reallly make him feel like he is dying & he does NOT want to die.
So even though intellectually he understands that the meds just make him not feel the angina & subsequent tachydardia & arrhythmia... he doesn't care. He just doesn't want to feel like he is dying any more. Unless it's really time to go. :sigh:
Dr Gibson (the in-person practicing cardiologist) says the collaterals are so very tiny that they needs assistance staying open.
And he never said anything about the rest of the arteries/veins...just that one was 100% blocked & another about 45%. And at that time I didn't think to ask. :nonono:
He's had no meaty doogness :p other than that chicken on 8/27 which is surely not affecting the past 2 weeks. :woe:
And a teensy bit of tuna. Amember? I said he was gonna add back a bit & then he SUDDENLY tightened back up on the reins.
But he's never gonna go 100% oil-free. I noes this. That means saltines, bread (our store-bought choices are limited & I can't/won't add another thing to my plate), basically nothing in a package or from a restaurant. We rarely go out anyway cuz it's hard enough to find a restaurant around here that doesn't use pork fat in all the vegetables. :sigh:
He can do 98% oil-free. 100% on most days.
Anyway...the diet's not gonna change much, if at all. Mainly we (I) am gonna stop stressing about it.
I'm not sure you really understand just how difficult it is. :buttkick: It sounds doable enough but then... Life. :yes:
It's a very challenging lifestyle. :faint: Especially in the Southern US! :woe: If we lived in say...San Francisco :whistle: or thereabouts...it would not be nearly as difficult.
But if I go down for any reason, even temporarily, the whole thing goes :boom:
Planning, shopping, washing, chopping, cooking... henocando. :rofl: Most peoples no can do. Or rather no would do. :chuckle:
So yesterday J & I inspected every single inch of every single shelf at Kroger (our store's not that big, relatively speaking) looking for whole-grain anythings. We found an organic whole grain rotini & penne that we'd not seen before. And yes, they does have chickpea pasta but I can't afford that. :sigh:
But that was it. :sigh:
BP (Before Pandemic) they carried numerous whole-grain/whole-wheat products. For some reason they all disappeared...and from Walmart as well.
Of course 75% of my cart is always produce. :broccoli:

I definitely hears ya, Asiel. When I went on the reunion, it was a nightmare. All of a sudden, I'm in a part of the country that sincerely believes cuisine must include animal oils, bacon, cheese in everything or it ain't good. :sigh: Paducah saved me with it's one vegan restaurant. Then, there was the issue of being one vegan in a large group of folks who had no idea, nor inclination to care about that. I went where the group went. Trying to negotiate those restaurants was a nightmare. :uhoh:
Also, like you, I'm pretty rural where I am and in a very conservative setting. When I call this place "pennsyltuky" I ain't joking. What products I can find are not consistently available, and selections are very limited. Something like Banza pasta (chickpea pasta) is a "niche" product and crazy expensive. :eek:
You do what you can do. There's gotta be :balance: or no matter what you do, it ain't gonna be whole. So, it ain't perfection. Perfection is vastly over-rated IMO. :hug:

Kinda sounds like ya didn't :roll:
I'm not sezing he needs or don't need meds {though ok a little towards the latter :whistle: } the point was the diet afores tweaking him afforded him an angina free :egg: sistence or in other wurdz the doof was sufficient as medicine. Which is kinda the reason Dr.E does pushes the whole chewing the gross greens thang to build the :mushrooms: overlords and yada yada :blah:
Sometimez people do needz the medication :yes: sometimez they don't B was medicationlos for {Enter Time Here } and after a week or two he woulda been back to nermal or atleast sans medicine nermal :oz:
"He's had no meaty doogness :p other than that chicken on 8/27 which is surely not affecting the past 2 weeks. :woe: "
YES, Yes it can :wall: :gaah: THAT's literally what I've been saying ober and ober :wheee: AND it's NOT a one and done thang it's CUMULATIVE ... the chicken starts the inflammation and each bit of meat/oil is like adding gasoline to the fire ... it mostly smolders out after 10 to 14 days but a walnut here a sumthin cheated there and it's a growing bigger conflagration.
In any event the inflammatory response is cumulative and exponential like scratching a rash ... each added scratch makes things worser than the scratch before it.
Anywho, keep in mind Dr.E > Dr.O > Pritikin ... even though they are similar in many ways the Pritikin diet does not show arterial blockage reversal :nonono: The Ornish diet does BUT it's vastly slower at best and not the same magnitude as Dr.E's protocol. If nothing else this shows how the relatively small variations in doof choices can dramatically effect the healing process and you can choose accordingly :yes:
Also like I said afores I don't noes :carp: about CAD or :heart: issues and I don't noes anyone who has them {that I'm awarez of} so anythin I :blah: :blah: is just from trying to figure out why Dr.E said whatever ... so yeah you does what you does :thumbs:

I prefer the soak then dry method but not because of durt issues but it also removes oligosaccharides which makes digestion so tooty :whistle: plus tannins, lectins, phytic acid, etc. are also removed making it healthier :angel:
Oh and I add tapioca flour 'cuz I Has it and it runs fine in a pasta press. Adding :egg: gives it a better chew but you all can give that a pass. But adding egg makes the pasta dry much less crumbly too :yes: Also you may want to try chickpea flour with :tater: gnocchi ... I haven't tried that BUT it's definitely the right texture for a decent gnocchi :yes:
You can make pasta/noodles from pretty much anythin BUT I wont buy whole wheat pasta :egg: cept to test :nono: they are just horrible :egg: amples of what pasta should neber be :yucky: Srsly you can make better whole wheat pasta by first over hydrating the whole wheat flour and letting it sit for an hour. This allows the hard bits to soften so they don't cut the gluten strands when you knead it which is what's wrong with most whole wheat pasta :yes:

Well, since I live in pennsyltucky, I been not finding soba noodles. Ever. :sigh:
And THEN...I found them! Tucked into the Asian cuisine shelf of my local grocery store! :happydance: It was magical. :wubsigh:
So, tomorrow I'm making a nice stir fry with the newly proffered soba noodles. :bliss:
HOBs is now in a real crib. He's sleeping a lot, and they're gonna check for anemia. But sometimes that happens when they get switched over. He's adjusting. Which I kinda think is what that is. But :ladybug: wants him home now, and I must remind her...patience.
We are having normal cold weather. For now. in the 20's like it oughta be. But wait...it's going to get warmer agins this week. :dunno:
The clouded leapard at the Dallas zoo was found safe and sound. It looks like somebody tried to either set the :kitty: free or kidnap it. I doesn't know which. It is now a criminal investigation. 8) It looks like they went after the monkeys too. I bet it was an activist trying to "set them free". Does they even know how unsafe that is for them? :roll:
Yesterday while drivin' we had a beautiful murmuration of starlings executed right over us. It was just enchanting until about a dozen :splat: s hit my windshield. :huh: I was not expecting that. :ladybug: was driving, and I said, "Quick! Use the wipers!" To which she was not pleased when the whole windshield turned sorta white. I explained, "You don't wanna give it a chance to dry." :uhoh:
In Other Newses:
-Two burglars in Floridah called 911 requesting help to move the stuff they were stealing. I kid you not. I cannot make this stuff up. :bsl:
-I'm sort of a true crime buff. Have been for years, but I doesn't share it much because, well, it ain't for everyone. But I gotta share this because it's a good thing. "The Boy in the Box" is a case that has haunted Philly for over 60 years. They never could ID the little guy, and it was a case that held heartstrings over a generation. Finally, with the latest technology, they were able to ID him. He now has a marker with his name on it, and a history. :candle:
-In Idaho, a :dog: got so wrapped up in tryin' to catch a squirrel that he actually climbed up a tree. Then got stuck. The local fire department had to recscue him. Both he and the squirrel are fine.
-In Australia, a woman went to reach for her dog's toy tasmanian devil, only to watch it run away from her. After a hefty scream, hubby, armed with a broom escorted the live critter out the front door.
It looks like your :rain: is gonna settle down, Sig. :thumbs: Now I can worry about somethin' else, like weird science. :electrocute:
Time to :offtobed: Catch ya'll on the flip side. I loves alla yous. :hug:

It was just enchanting until about a dozen :splat: s hit my windshield. :huh: I was not expecting that. :ladybug: was driving, and I said, "Quick! Use the wipers!" To which she was not pleased when the whole windshield turned sorta white. I explained, "You don't wanna give it a chance to dry." :uhoh:
In Other Newses:
-Two burglars in Floridah called 911 requesting help to move the stuff they were stealing. I kid you not. I cannot make this stuff up. :bsl:
-I'm sort of a true crime buff. Have been for years, but I doesn't share it much because, well, it ain't for everyone. But I gotta share this because it's a good thing. "The Boy in the Box" is a case that has haunted Philly for over 60 years. They never could ID the little guy, and it was a case that held heartstrings over a generation. Finally, with the latest technology, they were able to ID him. He now has a marker with his name on it, and a history. :candle:
-In Idaho, a :dog: got so wrapped up in tryin' to catch a squirrel that he actually climbed up a tree. Then got stuck. The local fire department had to recscue him. Both he and the squirrel are fine.
-In Australia, a woman went to reach for her dog's toy tasmanian devil, only to watch it run away from her. After a hefty scream, hubby, armed with a broom escorted the live critter out the front door.
It looks like your :rain: is gonna settle down, Sig. :thumbs: Now I can worry about somethin' else, like weird science. :electrocute:
Time to :offtobed: Catch ya'll on the flip side. I loves alla yous. :hug:

Love the 'Animal Tails :book: from Around the World' segment. :clap: :clap: :laugh:
And remind :ladybug: that she does NOT want Hobs to go back to the hospital, out of the :umbrella: of the NICU.
It ain't even close to being the same. :sparkle: :shera: :sparkle: It's exciting that he's in a crib. :excited: :wub:
SIg... I don't think there was ever a time when B was anginalos AND sans meds. :nonono: He just stopped the statin less than a month ago...had been every other daying for awhile. And after the Nashville major event he got :uhoh: & went back on the ranalozine. He was pretty doog all of May, June & July...coinkidinkily :heat: time when he's at his best.
Never completely anginalos. He still feels mild pressure almost daily.
It's the big episodes. The mild :heart: attacks. :yes: That's what he wants to avoid.
Anyway...if we GOTS to label it we are now fully whole food plant based oil free...mostly. :rofl:
And maybe, someday, if he is completely symptomlos for 6 months or more he might begin to unmedicate.
And meanwhile, he will likely eat a bit of tuna or the occasional salmon. Jacki loves fish, too, so she likely needs some.
Me...notsomuch. :yucky: :uhoh:
I been studying on omega 3 supplements & came across a study saying patients with high triglycerides were at increased risk of aFib from fish oil. :gaah:
And would y'all believe that the cardiologist did not even want to record or know about any supplements he's taking? :wall:
Exact words were, "That doesn't matter". :faint:
So yeah... back to square one again. :rofl:
Pandora... I found some Udon noodles at the Martin Walmart & had a similar reaction... :excited:
I'm gonna start sprouts & then make Pho so it'll be a week or so.
It's quite crazy. :crazyeyes:
I read the menu at Branch Out cuz we been aiming to get to Paducah Mall and tho it looks delicious it is nonconforming to our/his diet. :sigh: Too much oil, cashews & other nuts & fried ffutses.
Therein lies our dilemma... Most Chinese restaurants offer steamed veggies but only white or fried rice. :sigh: Steamed veggies are not very filling. :rofl: Mexican restaurants will offer us refried beans & rice galore but they all contain carpy oil like they fry the fajita veggies in. :gaah: AT least they stopped using lard! Thai is high in oily doogness & coconut milk. :sigh: And all the rest is fast doof & southern homestlye.
We try really really hard not to cheat but sometimes ya just gotta eat what is. I almost ate the street vendor hot dog in Nashville but I was too askeered of hives. :rofl:
Noodle making... :no: Like Pandora, not one more thing right now.
I did make some pretty doog cheesy sauce for whole wheat ( :whatever: ) spirals yesterday. :yes:
I used oat milk, a little nutritional yeast (found the sweet spot for making it better & not making B go :yucky: ), brown mustard, a couple capers (yeah, teck :nickel: ly not allowed :whatever: ), garlic powder, salt & turmeric. Thickened with tapioca flour which is my new favorite plaything. :rofl: Even B said it was way way better than the internet carps. :hysterical: THe last faux cheese I made had potatoes in it & was "guaranteed" not to taste like :tater: . Guesss what it did taste like?? :tater: :tater: :bsl:
Lastly, in the if it ain't one thing it's somethin else category...
:book:
On Friday I slipped in my slippers. :luna: Didn't fall down (that might have been better) but seemingly ripped something in my thigh/hip/piriformis region. :sigh:
I felt it immediately but thunk, "It's not so bad." and continued on with my day.
Saturday morning it hurt worserer but I pushed through & vacuumed the whole house, got me & Jack showered, went & wandered Walmart, then came home & cooked. By Saturday night it was worserer & I knew I now had sciatica. :sigh:
No sleep Saturday night cuz no position kept the nerve from flaring for more than a few minutes.
Yesterday I consulted a few internet docs & did various stretches & exercises then proceeded to spend 3 hours in the kitchen preparing dinger as well as some lunch doofs for B for the week.
By last night... :no: :tantrum:
I slept, kinda, in B's recliner most the night.
Found yet another internet chiropractor this morning & his exercises seem to be the :boom:
The sciatica seems much better but now I'm just back to the torn muskel pain so as long as I don't get up... :rofl: 7 cats say :spitcoffee: ... I'm fine. Ish.
:woe:

Dang it, Asiel, no falling or near falling allowed! :eek: The exercises work. :thumbs: I'm wondering if you pulled a musckle in there somewheres, and man, it doesn't help. :hug: If it keeps going though, you should get it checked out. Just to be on the safe side.
HOBS isn't anemic. He's just bein' lazy and sleepy because he was so early. Seriously, that's what the nurses are sayin'. :bsl:
That bugged me too at Branch Out. The cashews. But I gotta say, in the situation I was in, they were at least a lifeline to some balanced meals, instead of what I was trying to string together. :uhoh: I'm thinking your best bet is finding a half way decent deli like in a grocery store. They may have better quick run and eat options.
It amazes me how you tackle all of this with the diet. You be wonder woman. :hail: You are doing your very best, and you have to get out of the loop of "do better". You do better every single dang day. :hug:
I gotta :run: and get :ladybug: She says she needs to vent. :uhoh: We shall see how that goes.

:vibes: Vent protection :rofl:
Funny, the wee boys are often lazier than the girls. :rofl: Nurses tell you that? The super early girls also outlive the boys by a large amount (don't recall numbers).
Thanks for the encouragement. :hugs: It really means a lot. :yes:
I think packing lunches like in the good ol days is our best bet. :chuckle: you ever read the ingredients on some of the deli 'healthy' salads? :uhoh: :mayo: is in a lot of them. Parmesan in a lot. Soybean or other :yucky: oil in many.
I remember being intrigued by my aunt's niece & hubby at my aunt's funeral. (Other side of the family, not related to me)
Anyway...Jan is her name & she is quite a character. Was married late in life for the second time to her high school sweetheart.
He'd never married..said he waited for her. :wub:
Anyway, she was a dental hygenist & had carpal tunnel (steroids, surgeries, all the regular interventions) for many years & finally went to a naturopathis doc. HE put her on a vegan diet & as she said, "I looooove meat!". :rofl: Her husband was going along, supporting her, and her carpal tunnel was much improved and as a bonus she'd lost 35 pounds. :cheer:
Anyway, a group of 20ish of us went to the AMVETS on a Friday night for fish. EVerybody fretted over what they'd eat & she was so dang nonchalant. She says, "We've got plenty of peanut butter & jelly in the hotel & we'll be fine.". They ordered vinegar coleslaw & a baked :tater: And they were super :excited: to see that the 'butter' on the table was fake. :rofl:
Then afterwards everyone went to Dairy Dock (Lakeside town) for ice cream & she & her hubby were so excited once again to find that they had chocolate covered frozen :banana:
I was super impressed with their diligence. And the gorup I was with (Dad's fambily mostly) were all quite supportive & even curious about their diet.
I find it helps people here accept if I tell them we are doing it for B's health. :crazy: If you just do it to be healthier or heaven forbid for the sake of animals & the planet then you're a :hippy: freak!
:bsl:
:hi: :ladybug: Congratulations again & again. :cheer:

Yeah, gotta watch the mixed stuffs. There's mayo and eggs galore usually. :sigh: Wegman's is the best pick here. They make the best tasting fresh vegan sammitchs. :liplick: They also make the vegan pizza with the cauliflower crust which is yummy too. They have the best and healthiest variety for us :hippy: vegan types locally. Which you're so right about. I just say I eat plant based and leave it at that. :whistle: I've gotten attitude when I've said "vegan". At the family reunion I kept low key. :ladybug: was mouthy about it. Questioning all the dishes and stuffs. I just tried to exist on unbuttered baked potatoes, unbuttered veggies, and salads. That was hard enough. Nevermind my one cousin's wife who did give me attitude and got a little passive aggressive. It was hilarious. I'd quietly order the bestest I could, and the minute my food arrived she practically broke her neck to see what I got, and then scowled at me. :rofl:
Pack yer own is likely the best way to go. :thumbs:
:ladybug: vented about her father. As she held HOBS, she experienced a rising anger about him. It's complicated. I try to stay neutral.

Oh and iffen :ladybug: gits impatient tell her the hopsickle can only release him when he's ready OR the way he came in :chuckle: Yeah I has a friend whose wife was similarly impatient and that's what the nurse told her :hysterical:
Soba noodles :check: literally the easiest to make noodle 'cuz no gluten so it's just rolled then chopped, wow found in a grocery store yeah :woohoo:
:chuckle: yes I is happy for you :cheer: Personally I'm not a fan of soba being gritty and what not but it's doog cold :yes: Oh have you eber tried Nagashi Somen ? It's more an :egg: perience than a dish ... it's the thang where noodles flow down a bamboo chute and you pluck out a bite, dip it in some sauce and eat. Usually it's done with thin white noodles BUT I was at a soba noodle festival in Japan and they had the soba noodle water slide :thumbs:
Ok fine I here's ya :blah: :blah: but the thang is basic noodles are sooooo easy and better you both AND :michafire: should try it :buttkick: :buttkick: :buttkick:
Ouch sciatica :horror: though it sounds a little like youse had it afores :yes: not many peoplez noes the piriformis muskle much less the relation to the sciatic nerve. As for those :egg: sercise ... yeah unlikely they helped much other than mooving the fluids around and letting any rips or tears ease up.

Quote from: ncbiThe role of high-density lipoprotein in inflammation
Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) appears to have evolved as part of the innate immune system, which in part uses an enhanced oxidative state as a nonspecific means of protecting against many pathogens. In the absence of acute or chronic inflammation, HDL is anti-inflammatory in mice, rabbits, and humans. However, with the onset of a systemic inflammatory state such as what occurs in atherosclerosis, HDL becomes pro-inflammatory, enhancing the inflammatory response. The major apolipoprotein of HDL is apoA-I, which may be altered by oxidative processes in patients with atherosclerosis. As a result, HDL from such patients is less efficient in promoting cellular cholesterol efflux. The ability of HDL to inhibit the inflammatory properties of oxidized phospholipids and low-density lipoproteins is also significantly altered. In mice and monkeys, the administration of an apoA-I-mimetic peptide renders pro-inflammatory HDL anti-inflammatory, improves HDL-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux; in mice, it dramatically inhibits atherosclerosis. Understanding the role of HDL in inflammation may lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to atherosclerosis and other inflammatory conditions.

3 days and you healed yerself Wow! You're sigh-kick :buttkick:
I am 95% better. :cheer: Walk just fine. Just feel tender spots if I push on them.
And yes, 30 years ago Mom had sciatica where she had to has surgery to untrap the squeezed nerve. :eek:
And I have a terminally locked up lower back. The bottom 5 or 6 vertebrae. :sigh: And a chipped tailbone from ice skating which might have compressed my spine. :scratch: I just now thunk of that.
Anyway...this is why I noes that yoga &/or stretching is imperative for me, especialy as I um...age. :wiggle:
This is the doctor dude who helped. :yes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM0BYahGUD8
It is stretching & breathing combined with yoga type moves but after being fully stretched out the side twist made my lower back pop like a zipper...top to bottom, then back up again. pop pop pop pop pop pop! :cheer:
I noed what to do without the video but I tend to try & force it. :yes: Always in a hurry. :sigh: Wanna fix it NOW! :bsl:
Universe said, "Slow & easy, girl." :rofl:
The HDL is the part the cardiologist said is hereditary. It was low BS...Before statin. :p
He said "There's nothing you can do about that." but of course I disagree. :rofl:
THAT'S why I been giving him avocado, pushing the flax & wanting to feed him fish (as well as to feed his muskels) & was previously asking about (& bought) the olive oil. He hasn't drank the olive oil (though I believe he could...he loves it just that much :chuckle: )
And I haven't even been using the teaspoonfulls in cooking. :nonono: But I'm stir-frying tonight so I just might. :p
1 teaspoon for the veggies, one teaspoon for flied lice. I dunno yet.
And the 'too low' LDL is more evidence of my saying that the strict Esselstyn is not right for him. :pie:
I does believe that it is ideal for most. But B is not most. Seriously, whenever we are at the cardiologist's office, whether it be in Nashville or in Paris... there is not a single patient in the waiting room that looks like him. They are ALL obese (ok...80% of the population here is) and ALL using walkers or canes or just barely shuffling acros the floor. Mostly men but a few women & I'd bet most of the women are axshual :heart: patiens with aFib like my grandmother & 2 aunts. :yes:
Even before the weight loss B was a tall, lean dude. He carried weight effortlessly, never looking 'fat', cuz it was evenly distributed over his loooong body & not just in the gut. :nonono:
So you add credence to my intuitive thinkings that he really gots to have more healthy fats. :hi5:
Oh & he ain't never gonna eat greens 6x a day. :nonono: He cain't. :nonono: They make him poop too much & get even skinnier. :yes: He already goes to the bathroom 2-4x a day, sometimes getting up in the middle of the night. :faint: I told ya, super fast metabolism. Super fast. :yes: He takes the spirulina 2x a day & gets greens once or twice. I add them to most every meal except last night... we had chili from the freezer & I made some quick no-tuna salad.
Did I say soba cuz I meant udon. B likes them both. Me, notasmuch. I prefer good ol' Asian-fashioned rice noodles. :drool:
And no, the whole grain ain't so good but they both eat them. :chuckle: I am not a pasta nor noodle fan period. :nonono:
Maybe someday. :yes: In another couple years. :hysterical:
It's almost :spring: and past time to get outside & get ffuts cleaned up. :woe:
I am working on how to streamline & simplify our meals. :yes:
I am 95% better. :cheer: Walk just fine. Just feel tender spots if I push on them.
And yes, 30 years ago Mom had sciatica where she had to has surgery to untrap the squeezed nerve. :eek:
And I have a terminally locked up lower back. The bottom 5 or 6 vertebrae. :sigh: And a chipped tailbone from ice skating which might have compressed my spine. :scratch: I just now thunk of that.
Anyway...this is why I noes that yoga &/or stretching is imperative for me, especialy as I um...age. :wiggle:
This is the doctor dude who helped. :yes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM0BYahGUD8
It is stretching & breathing combined with yoga type moves but after being fully stretched out the side twist made my lower back pop like a zipper...top to bottom, then back up again. pop pop pop pop pop pop! :cheer:
I noed what to do without the video but I tend to try & force it. :yes: Always in a hurry. :sigh: Wanna fix it NOW! :bsl:
Universe said, "Slow & easy, girl." :rofl:
The HDL is the part the cardiologist said is hereditary. It was low BS...Before statin. :p
He said "There's nothing you can do about that." but of course I disagree. :rofl:
THAT'S why I been giving him avocado, pushing the flax & wanting to feed him fish (as well as to feed his muskels) & was previously asking about (& bought) the olive oil. He hasn't drank the olive oil (though I believe he could...he loves it just that much :chuckle: )
And I haven't even been using the teaspoonfulls in cooking. :nonono: But I'm stir-frying tonight so I just might. :p
1 teaspoon for the veggies, one teaspoon for flied lice. I dunno yet.

"Yeah, gotta watch the mixed stuffs. There's mayo and eggs galore usually. :sigh: ..."
Actually one of the big reasons I use :peas: protein to make :mayo: instead of :egg: s is so I don't has to make sumthin different for each frickin person ... and honestly ya cannot tell the difference. Oh and of course there are a lot of people who git freaked out by uncooked :egg: s espeeshully in homemade :mayo: :roll:
"Pack yer own is likely the best way to go. :thumbs: "
It is :yes: even iffin yer not a :hippy: freak or vegan :horror:
:horn: Air Fryer chickpeas
siguie brand is the bestest ... not oil free BUT should be doable :yes: This has :bean: my goto snack since 2021 ... eaten with chopsticks :oz:
The trick is finding the sweet spot with yer chickpeas brand and air fryer. Gotten right they is delightfully light and crunchy ... wrong and they are either little rocks or squishy :yucky:
Anywho they is a surprisingly doog and filling snack :yes:
"So you add credence to my intuitive thinkings that he really gots to have more healthy fats. :hi5: "
And you gives credence to MY intuitive thinxz :yes: ... you are NOT paying attention :buttkick: 'cuz I absolutely NEBER said that and am arguing for Zero oil :gaah:
Srsly if LDL is low why does he need so much HDL? DO ya noes what these thangs even does? :woe:
:horn: Research Niacin Then Research plurple doof and don't fergetz the Glycine :buttkick:
To be fair doog olive oil really is delicious :liplick: but I Do NOT recommend it for B :nonono: it's just poison {to him} that happens to come with the antidote. Perhaps there is a net benefit BUT perhaps not and youse are clearly not :egg: perimenting properly :thwack:

soba noodle water slide.... :huh: :rofl:
My soba pasta stir fry was yummy. :liplick:
So, I saw this thang. I think it's a good idea, and I'm gonna try it. It's a spritz bottle with olive oil innit. You just spritz the veggies very lightly with it. and it coats better with much less. :hmm2:
We had black ice all over the place this morning. Bunch of accidents because of it; school bus went sliding, but no one hurt. I can bet those poor little kids were :uhoh: . Didn't have a clue until Leam came over limping. He took a header and I think he sprained his ankle and pulled his shoulder a bit. He said :nonono: you ain't going out there Mom, and I'm done for the day too.
So, I did late afternoon errands. It was gone by then, since the temp went up into the low 40s. I splurged. I got Just Egg. It's expensive, but my curiosity finally got the better of me. We shall see. Also bought some kale to make kale chips.
I relayed the messages to :ladybug: and it was :rofl:
Time to :offtobed: See ya'll tomorrow..

Black ice is a big thang down here. :uhoh:
I'd never heard of it til moving south. :dunno: Seems growding up the roads were always just covered with snow all winter. :rofl:
Once in a great while we'd get a thin layer of ice over top of the snow but being as the last place I lived was hald a block from Lake Erie, notsomuch. :snowball:
And beets! I peel, cut & slightly pickle beets at least twice a week. It's one of the thangs B wants to eat every single day.
Just a bit of dark brown sugar or maple syrup and rice vinegar. Funny boy, he's just discovered how much he likes rice vinegar when I'd tried to tell him that for years! :woe: Just the word "vinegar" usta make him go :no:
Though the oddball has always loved dill pickles. :rofl:
Thanks to Leam for saving Nana. :hi5: Hope he feels better soon.
So last night was quite dreamy once again. :crazyeyes: At least 3 distinct 'epic' dreams. :huh:
In one, I owned a healthy :pizza: shop & was rolling out the dough to order. There was no oil in anything. :nonono:
And in each ball of dough I'd roll out I added a tsp of garlic, tsp or onion powder& tablespoon of tamari. :huh:
The restaurant got quite busy & full of happy chatter. BUt then in one corner someone found out that someone had died & they were obliviously upset & peoples gathered around but I had to keep rolling dough. :wtf: But on the table where I was rolling an older couple who was quite lovely & animated got on the table & began dancing. Quite strange how in one corner people were devastated & in the diagonally opposite corner people were laughing, dancing & rolling dough... :rofl:
Lots more little details in that one as well. :huh: :pizza:
Reckon I oughta make :pizza: someday soon. :rofl:
The other 2 have temporarily slipped my mind tho I know they're still there. After both of them I woke up in order to mentally document them. :huh:
Must be the :spring: like weather. :woe:
Speaking of...we're in the :twister: zone once again. I've not checked the timing as of yet.
Have a great day, y'all. :rstars: Yarp that the :rain: does not squelch our satellite cuz tonight is the 'biggest game of the year'. :rofl: The Cleveland Cavaliers play in Memphis! THey only do that once a year & usually we go to this one but this year it is on a Wednesday. :woe: That means B would have to take 2 days off cuz we don't get home til 1ishAM & he gets up at 4. :nonono:
He said he couldn't/wouldn't take 2 days in January...

I have to tells youses...
I made the first really doog stir fry since before May with NO oil. :cheer:
And I credit most of it to this: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Diamond-CC01811-001-Ceramic-Dishwasher/dp/B07CZM83V8/ref=sr_1_5?crid=12SGFX2RXP21M&keywords=blue%2Bdiamond%2B5%2Bqt%2Bsaute%2Bpan%2Bwith%2Blid&qid=1674049151&sprefix=blue%2Bdiamond%2B5%2Bqt%2Caps%2C453&sr=8-5&th=1
I had no no-stick cookware except a well-seasoned cast iron skillet that has already marred my glass top stove.
So last weekend at Walmart B says, "We're gonna find you some decent cookware." "At Walmart??" I asks increduously. :rofl:
And he says, "Let's just go look".
So we spent an hour or more in the :carp: y cookware aisle... Reading boxes, looking at hanging pans, cross-referencing with the internet. :rofl:
Finally we decided to get this & use it for awhile then get more pieces if I likes it.
I've cooked dried beans in it, boiled mashed :tater: s in it, & last night the stir fry (tonight it's gonna hold one pot spaghetti)
So far so good.
It conducts heat massively better than my thin stainless & also better than my 40 year old wobbly wok which still fights the rust. :sigh:
The first veggies to go in sizzle, sizzle, sizzled with no oil at all & the veggies never got watery as they sometimes did in my wok.
Also, terryaki (with minced garlic & ginger) is absolutely fine sans oil. :yes: I added it just before turning the heat off & it instantly thickened & coated all the veggies beautifully. :wub:
Onion, celerty, carrot, snow :peas:, red peeper, :broccoli: and extra :mushrooms:
Steamed jasmine rice (yeah... a cheat. :whatever: We just had brown rice with red beans recently)
And tofu baked til crisp on my other new favorite tool...parchment paper. :happydance:
Life is doog again.
:bsl:
Oh & Kroger had thai chili sauce on the clearance rack for $1. :happydance: They don't usually carry it so it musta been a mis-ship.
I grabbed 2, shoulda grabbed 10. yes:

Dancin :pizza: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dancers3.gif)
Well that sounds better than the Tamari topping :yucky:
:twister: :sebiv: :gheart: :vibes: :twister:
Yup wacky weather :uhoh: but today the :sun: is out ... mostly ... though a little more :rain: tonight :umbrella:
Teflon still outlasts ceramic nonsticks but use it while it werks :thumbs: 'cuz that is the best option for sear without sticking :yes: Though parchment paper is purty darn handy :cheer: I tend to use it to avoid cleanup :bliss:
Oh and a while back ya mentioned tapioca flour :thumbs: I was gonna sez another benefit is that when used for thickening it actually werks well for frozen ffuts :shiver: Unlike cornstarch which unthickens when thangs are frozed so it's what I used for stored frozen meals ... like thangs I take to werk for lunch :oz:
"It conducts heat massively better than my thin stainless & also better than my 40 year old wobbly wok which still fights the rust. :sigh: "
:therethere: yeah it's hard to beat a clad pan :yes: Thang is the induction ready models are even betterer :cheer: BUT absolutely not worth it for twice the price :nonono:
Anywho parchment paper is doog to 400°F which happens to be above frying temperature soooo you can does some thangs {not with yer doog pan} to simulate a temporary non-stick surface ... only parchment isn't really non-stick :nono: Basically I was :egg: perimenting with pancake/crepe ideas ... the idea is usable but requires a whole new skill set ... but might be of some use for youses :yes: Don't try anythin too massive or wet but perchance you can use it :oz:

I'm a Farberware fan. Have been for a long time. :thumbs:
Dreams. :ladybug: has recently gone through a spate of nightmares. She wants them gone. They're part of her mental health issues. She is going back on her meds starting tomorrow. One of the meds has to be ordered, so couldn't start today. We're aiming for her doses to be in a good place and stable before HOBS comes home.
We had taco salad tonight. Least healthy part of the meal was the tortilla chips. I ate too big of a salad. Of course.
I gotta say, folks in these here parts are behaving as though they're hell bent and have blinders on. It's this almost frantic very stressed sorta of thang. I thought maybe it was just me, but :ladybug: mentioned it too. It's really sort of like a twilight zone feeling. :uhoh: We are chalking it up to the weather. It's been such an unusual winter here. Heck, if I don't complain about it being too mild, I complain about it being too frigid. :laugh:
Anywayz off for the night. :wave:

Nah, the twilight zone thingy is here, too. :wtf: When we've been out there may only be one or 2 people we connect with...eeerbody else is frantic, angry & zombified. :sigster:
And soo many peoples (seemngly elsewise sweet elderly ladies) have been flat out angry in the :egg: section.
:eggface: here are $6ush a dozen & frequently out. I saw some free range as high a $1-. :faint:
But they are loudly blaming Biden. Loudly proclaiming that Trump never woulda let this happen.
They are flat out :pissed:
I axshully spoke up & told one lady that over 40 million laying hens had been euthanized last year :candle: due to bird flu & she says, "SO why are we just now hearing about it?" I says, "The information is out there...documented by the proper agencies..." and I walked on.
How dare anybody mess with the ritual sausage, eggs, biscuits & gravy??? :gaah:
Sometimes bacon, but most usually sausage round here.
So it was well after dark & we never heard any significant :blowme: Just lotsa :rain: But we are used to lotsa :rain:
I still had a restlos night... :wtf: Dreams & general wakedness. :huh:
Methinks it's :sun: affecting peoples (and nightimes) . :yes: Just like the Native American elders prophesied way back when.
Tis the time when 'men' would go mad. :crazy: The Light is shining so brightly into all the cracks & crevices & dark places that the inner 'ugly' (as my ancestors would say) is being illuminated in lotsa folks. Even seemingly sweet ol ladies. :chuckle:
:sparkle: :vibes: :ladybug: :sebiv: :sparkle:

I spoke too soon bout the :blowme:
The north wind doth blow. :blowme: :shiver:
I am Zanna-tard already & it's only 1:15. :splat:
Found a cabinet mess yesterday that had to be addressed today. :uhoh:
I have a double cabinet that I call the 'baking cabinet'. I rarely bake. :rofl:
I open the left hand door to get baking soda & a couple other things.
Rarely ever even open the right hand door.
Til last night. :scared:
I went to grab a years' old box of brownie mix when I noticed it was stuck to the box beneath it. :huh:
Upon further inspection I saw mold :eek: and a trail of 'goo'.
It seems a can of peaches on the top shelf had somehow burst open & dripped down the side & corner leaving a horrible mess & toxic scene. :scared: Vinegar, baking soda, bleach, up & down the step ladder a hundred times... :hysterical:
The entire kitchen went :boom: and now it's (mostly) back together.
Of course that kinda thing often leads to other things so now the little fridge is out on the deck defrosting & many items got rebalanced. :balance:

There's been a couple hiccups with HOBS. He's regressed with the bottle feedings, and had an episode of bradycardia with apnea. This isn't all that unusual with feeding. Which is what it was. It looks like he bought at least 2 more weeks at the 4 star hotel. :sigh: It really does look like he's gonna need about 3 more weeks. He's strong, but he's just not feeding the way he ought to yet.
:ladybug: should feel the meds kick in at about that 3 wk mark. She is back into therapy, and has a good support network as well as almost 4 years of DBT. I'm confident she'll weather it. She is truly strong hearted.
There was a problem with a nurse. I say was because Bug went straight to the director of the NICU. Long story short, said nurse shall not be taking care of HOBS. Problems started up when this nurse got involved. Let's see how it goes now.
Yeah, nope on the Just Egg. Asiel, I shoulda asked if anyone else had tried it. : :doh: Sig, you woulda done it eventually. Because yer curiosity is as bad as mine. :laugh: So now you don't need to. :thumbs:
Well, Asiel, no brownies. You got told. :eek: Wow, what a project, and isn't it always the unplanned ones that really do :boom: ?

The baby fridge is still out on the deck. :rofl: I hit the wall. :splat:
Sorry to hear about Hobs. I knows first-hand how disappointing it is when release dates get pushed back. :sigh:
We went from 2 weeks to 10 but mostly the extra time was due to her contracting NEC IN the NICU. :sigh: They had a bad outbreak. Dang doctors, mostly, who thunk they were above the protocol.
In hindsight everything will make sense. :yes: But I noes that doesn't help now. :hugs:
Today is shopping day. :wiggle: So thankful for my widdle uncrowded Ruler Foods & Tommy's scratch & dent but not Asian store :laugh:
And thankful that the entire kitchen is organized (ish) & inventoried & cleaned out. :woe:
:pey: one thing led to another... :rofl:

I just remembered a dream from this morning that seemed significant.
Or not. :rofl:
:cloud9:
I was in a very large grocery store such as Jackson Kroger or Louisville Whole Foods.
It was extrememly busy & everyone was :frantic:
The coolers (including all the meat, lunchmeat, frozen ffuts, dairy, etc) were covered with plywood...boarded up...and people were :pissed: What are we gonna eat? :frantic: :gaah: They had a minimal amount of lunchmeats at the deli & there was a very very long line.
The produce was also limited but in order to disguise the bareness they had filled spaces with cheap made-in-China trinkets & gift items. :huh:
B & I had split up...2 separate carts...in order to get what we needed & then came back together to survey & combine our carts.
We commented on how good it was that Jacki had opted not to come cuz she could not have handled it. She woulda been :gaah: at the commotion AND the emptiness of the store. We had everything we needed. Plenty of dried beans, rice, oats & I had scavenged all the worthy produce I could find. We were growing the rest.
It was just so very real tho... I can still see the store. And the :frantic: people. And even some of the bizarre items, like can cozies that were 2' tall stuffed animals. :huh:
End dream.
:dunno:
And kale stems... :woe:
Once again Mr West Coast is unawares of how old the produce is that we gets waaaay over/down here . :rofl:
The kale stems of fresh, homegrowed kale is quite edible & yes, kinda sorta choy-like. :chuckle:
Grocery store kale is waaaay overgrown & oftentimes so old it's yellowed (I don't buy that but I see others who do. :huh: ).
The stems are as fibrous as rope & only get softened if pressure cooked but then they are still stringy.
:yes: I've tried. I come from peoples who waste not want not but the stems... don't even compost well.
OMG, lately they been selling these collards that are almost as big as bed sheets! :scared: :rofl:
I bought some. :ashamed: They felt like rubber when raw & weren't much better cooked.
Heat will make the greens & stems tough but I've never grown any as tough as the ones they try to sell us here. :gaah:
Or not. :rofl:

Durty vegetable soup killz sad :check:
:horror:
Oh with the chinese new year travelz covid in China has likely just peaked or is very close :yes: The traveling brought the covid to all of the small remote villages and enough days have passed that with an infection rate greater than measles :faint: yeah it' eberywherez :yes:
Instead of the typical RED lanterns for new year ebery place is putting up WHITE mourning/funeral lanterns. The numerous funeral parlours are inundated and let's just say there are a lot of very unhappy chinese right now :sofa:
FYI: With 50% to 90% chinese air travelers being infected while traveling to other countries including the US there has been no noticeable spike in other countries :nono: The fear was that some new variant may have been spawned and spread which it has but so far it appears to be a weaker Omicron subvariant.
In other wurdz the rest of the :earth: is prolly safe :yes: China not so much :nono: Also the vaccine effects ARE purty frickin amazin :thumbs:
Solly gotted carried away there :blah: :blah: but fer SUDDEN sad the :woo: vote is for China :yes:
Yeah I've been thinking of :ladybug: buglet and NanaP too :sigh: but they is :shera: and prolly more than a little busy :frantic: Also it looks a tad chilly :shiver: so hopefully all 3 are warm and hanging out someplace sippin :coffee: :thumbs:
In other newses ...
It's :sun: ny and mid fiddys :bliss: THIS is the bestest time of the year :cheer:
In other other newses ... it's kale day ... agin ... yeah :roll: BUT in addition to kale Amazon should has :deliverance: d this 10 tiers plant shelf (https://amzn.to/3Ja5DJ3) <= Amazon link :woohoo:
Yeah I noes :whatever: basically dad fell and injured his hand ... just a small cut BUT it was because he has too many frickin plants growing just inside the door on the ground and there's literally no way to water each one without leaning way over and pushing ffuts aside. So this thang should clear some space and involve less leaning over :roll:
Of course the downside is the thang comes as a LOT of straight pieces of wood with a mallet AND theose dreaded wurdz "some assembly required " :no:
:sigh:
:rimshot:

Oh cool. Somebody else I noes has a lot of plants sitting arounf literally everywhere (as well aw a lotta babies in glasses, jars, vases witing to be potted :roll: ) & my big issue is vaccumming! Cat hairs love to wedge between all those widdle pots.
Is it sturdy-ish...enough? The price is right. :yes:
Our town has 2 giant 'outlet malls' which are giant flea markets. One of them is inside an old factry, the other is a former shopping center/strip mall. Anyway, we walked both of them recently & talk about putting something inside of one someday. Jacki thinks it super fun. One of them has a widdle 'plant shop' with what we thought were overpriced plants. The other does not...yet. :scratch:
Oh & I gotted treasures on both trips. :happydance: In one I gotted a blown glass napkin holder shaped like a swan. :wub: It was $5. And in the other I gotted 2 blown glass wine goblet/brandy sniffer type glasses. Green rim & base. $3 each. :wub:
China :gheart: :candle:
They are going through what the US did a couple years ago except with a more transmissible variant & allatonce. :faint:
What a grueling experience for them all. :sigh:
:dunno: what the sad was about. There is also the horrible mass shooting in an Asian ballroom outside of LA on the Lunar New Year. 11 people killed. :candle:
There's lotsa sad int he world right now. One doesn't hafta look far. But the wave I felt was different... :dunno: It was either connected with someone I noes....or it was portending a SUDDEN major disaster ala Haiti :quake: & tsunami. :nonono:
Dang...now spellcheck is flagging my grammars as well as my speeling. :woe:
It's a gonna be busy. :rofl:
Happy Tuesday! It's taco Tuesday here. :may5: Maybe just tostadas :dunno:
B has finally gotten used to them cheeselos. :cheer: I always preferred lotsa veggies (colored peeper, onion, lettuce, red cabbage) to :cheese: anyway. :drool: Any excuse for habanero sauce. :rofl:

"Is it sturdy-ish...enough? The price is right. :yes: "
Honestly it is surprisingly "nice" :yes: I was :egg: pecting it to be usable :carp: ... ya noes that ffuts doog enough not to be returned but too muches even at a low price to be gotted agin. This ffuts is worth it :yes: AND perchance we will be getting more :faint:
The stoopid :wheee: little spade and rake are pressed metal toyz :unthumbs: howeber the only upgrade I'd recommend is a longer rubber mallet. The one that comes with the kit is usable but there is a LOT of whacking involved and a little more :bump: woulda been handy. Also save the cardboard or use a piece of wood so you don't hammer into the floor ... I has a little anvil and cardboard for such thangs 8)
Dad liked it AND it did a great boj clearing the floor area :thumbs: the bad news is the top tier is high enough to be perfect to hang a 12 inch square LED grow light which he setup before any plants were even loaded into the thang :woe:
I'll need to set a timer but one cube zone has already been dedicated to sickly {not enough light} plants and the tippy toppy tier {#10} may become a water reservoir with the idea of drip tubes going to the big plants ... :secret: the orchids are still gonna need spraying.
The neat thang is that these things are like Lego the pieces are made to werk with each other so the more you has the more you can build :bliss: that said the connectors are really more of put on once and don't eber try to git them off agin variety :yes: Srsly the plastic they use is super tough :flex: so it can deform to the wood without breaking BUT you can see the stress marks :yes:
Anywho, it's NOT beautiful :nono: but it's not ugly and is surprisingly well thunked out AND can be found at a doog price :thumbs:
Glass blowin :thumbs: that's one of them thangs I gotted doog at though not as doog as dad :drama: Dad still has a bunch of Erlenmeyer's that he put goose necks on to make watering thangs :thumbs: I mostly make speeshulty glasswarez and pipettes for TLCing :ashamed:
"China :gheart: :candle:
They are going through what the US did a couple years ago except with a more transmissible variant & allatonce. :faint: "
Actually it's both worser and not so bad. The fortunate part is that the Omicron variants are ALL {so far} less lethal and fewer lingering long covid effects. The worser part is that whole "flattening the curve " that the US did ... well China literally did the opposite :roll: PLUS their vaccine is :carp: So what you seez happening their is essentially what is happening in the US for those noVAX pockets in the population. Of course the worserist bit is that it's big money to fake meds in china not to mention horde and price gouge ... and yeah :gheart: :candle:
"Cat hairs love to wedge between all those widdle pots. "
Ooooh this just happens to be one of those thangs I've researched ... fer realz :yes: ... no kidding :nono:
First zero cat hair is not gonna happen at home :nonono: it's like a perfect vacuum or reaching absolute zero ... it aint gonna happen 'cept under lab conditions and or way WAY too much monies :faint: so fergetaboutit :buttkick:
That said Blowing air :windy: werks better at dislodging hairs than vacuuming and electrofied {not :electrocute: } dusters or tape werks best at picking the hairs up.
It's like long looong ago there were these thangs called "vinyl records" and they were large plastic discs that attracted dust which apparently caused issues. In addition to manual removal there were piezoelectric devices which could reverse the charge on records making the dust :bump: off :yes: Dad has one that he uses to remove dust from teflon rolls :angel:
The modern ones are speeshul and moslty used by high tech cameras and lunar systems to keep dust off panels etc. But the point is :electrocute: werks AND tesla coils like my Momiji :wubsigh: can does some amaziin thangs :yes:
I noes ya wont does this BUT it werks amazinly well ... git some cling wrap and make a large clear panel from wire, old pikture frames, whatever, basically a big square/rectangle of cling wrap that can be suspended and blown lightly in the air without curling up. Place wrap near a fan or someplace air can blow over THEN turn on a Tesla coil to charge the atmosphere AND a leaf blower or vac on reverse to blow thangs into the atmosphere and :boom: a huge amount of dust clings to the wrap ... git it cling wrap :rimshot:
Oh and now clean yer TV 'cuz it's prolly grounded and picked up half the dust/cat hair :whistle:
After I gotted bored with that system I found the "Ionic Breeze" essentially used that same technology :ashamed: So I've had atleast one eber since Sebastian was here :wub: However, the trick is still electrify the environment then :blowme: and let the dust settle slooowly by collecting in the air purifier. Followed of course by cleaning sed air purifier :whistle:
Fer realz :yes: though actually picking up cat hairs werks best with an electrified duster while the room is charged ... the trick is unerstanzing what charge is attracting the cat hair :angel: Fer the most part air purifiers only pickup the finer dust not cat hair :nono:
"Didn't even know til now that 7 people were killed in Half Moon Bay. :candle::candle::candle::candle::candle::candle::candle: "
Yeah that was relatively close :sofa: BUT also it's about that time that the :crazy: start doesing the EBIL as well as when crime ticks up :sigh:
Did I mention siguie manor has multiple cameras and a recently installed security system that calls for help when doors are opened unexpectedly 'n ffuts :wiggle:

Yes, yes, siguie manor is almost like Sarah, of Eureka. :rofl: :thumbs:
So I showed B the plant stand from across the room last night & he says, "10 plants...that's cool".
I says, "It's only 20 bucks"
& he says, "Put it in the cart"
Then I says, "It says Lightning sale.... 15% off for the next hour" & he says "Order it."
:rofl:
It'll be here tomorrow. :wiggle: :righton:
ANd I will be happy to has plants off the floor. :wiggle:
So I needs to make a static clingwrap thingamajig & blow the air around so as to attract cat hairs? :yes:
Ok.
:spitcoffee:
How bouts I just put one or 2 of those ionic breezy thingies on my 'wish list'? :rofl:
Or... I can just hang cling wrap thingies all over the house.
:bsl:
Boy oh boy I wish :zanna: was here.
She'd love this. :yes: :hysterical:

She might even try it :wubsigh: unlikes some peoplez :buttkick:
Also the ionic breezys don't werk for cat hair :buttkick: ... Tesla coiil, cling wrap and leaf blower :thumbs:
Or siguie brand electrified {not :electrocute: } duster :yes:
An alternative for just dusting a large house is open 2 windows {or doors} at either end of a house put and exiting fan on one window to blow ffuts out a larger more powerful fan in the room you is cleaning ... this is just to keep :carp: in the air ... then use a leaf blower to git the settled dust into the air.
As long as you don't has a lot of :carp: that can git blowed over it werks doog :yes:
The Tesla coil trick is the most nuf though :yes: depending on the material and yer relative charges you can literally watch the dust jump off :thumbs: Though for safety reasons you shouldn't use a Tesla coil for too long unless yer sure all of your electronics are well grounded :whistle:
For realz I'm always frying sensitive electronics :gaah:

Werkin on it :yes:
I certainly has more than enough cameras :whistle: plus humidity and temperature sensors ... and air quality particulate sensors as well as CO, CO2, VOX and a cople of others ... oh and the door/windoh open sensors ... oh and of course the infrared motion sensors and um huh purty much the only thangs worth stealin in siguie manor is my :egg: tensive sensor collection :hmm2: Oh and of course the :electrocute: magnetics and EMF sensors but those go without sezing :hmm2:
"It'll be here tomorrow. :wiggle: :righton: "
Sweet :thumbs:
Apparently 1 dad has already begunned the modificationing ... ya noes other than the added LED Light :roll: He has some orchids in tiny pots and instead of just putting down a tray he sez he made a hammock out of a small tray to kinda divide one of the cuboids in half.
He's also :brain: storming some grabitational water systems to drip irrigate but without power :electrocute:
Anywho the floor is clear ... and a mirror/reflector for additional :sun: light may be appearing on the other side of the door :matt:
Dang still no wurdz from Pan :sigh:

Yeah, Pan. :hearts:
Plant hammocks. :wubsigh:
Plants are fun. :yes: Iffin (big word there) my dad had outlived Mom he woulda grown any & everything, too. :yes:
When he was in an apartment in Louisville, doing consultant work, he grew far more :tomato: & peepers on his patio than he could possibly eat. :rofl: Neighbors were often amazed...city slickers who had no idea one could grow ffutses like that. :chuckle:
Mom...has no use for plants whatsoever. :rofl: She absolutely cannot understand why we would continue to multiply plants. :laugh: The spider plants & hostas...they practically multiply themselves. :hysterical: I tells her we're building up inventory.
I think it's awesome that your dad has something that he's passionate about. :righton:
Plants are better than people. :righton: THey listen, but don't talk back. And they are fascinating in how they are everchanging.
:treehug:
I gots way too much :carp: for a blower. :blowme: :bsl:
:nonono: Canister vac with attachments for up high, down low, every nook & cranny. And no :sigh: I noes it will never be dust or hair free. :nonono: But I does make it quite liveable. :wiggle:

:woohoo: :headbang:
And you had to goes and bother them by texting :buttkick: :drama:
:secret: doog boj :whistle:
Sadly we've ALWAYS growed huge number of plants :no: according to mom the only reason for raising boyz is for free labour :whip:
True story :yes:
Also dad likes mutating seedz :blob: and has a piece of uranium ore for the boj :yes: Though his main incentive now is produce that is better or unavailable locally like scarlet runner :bean: s also fava beans :yucky: Also it looks like this summers "final" crop is gonna be beets :roll:
The beets that were fergetted or missed or for whatever reason they was unharvested last summer growed really big and he usses the wurd "sweet" but the thangs still just taste like durt :yucky: Anywho they was neber watered or cared for and literally just discovered last month kinda by accident ... he wants more of them next year :yes:
Thang is he can eat siguie brand kale and beets eberyday at ebery meal :pukeface: his other favourite doof is Brusseled sprouts and cabbage :barfy: atleast he prefers the cabbage krauted or "pickled". Oh but he eats too muches too fast to be krauted :no: So I mostly bring him a qaurt of kraut ebery couple of weeks and he goes through a whole cabbage head as "salad". Basically a sigue spiced vinegar pickle more or less like a vinegar coleslaw.
Hmmm ya noes when ya put all these thangs together it kinda makes sense that he has surprisingly doog pipping :yes: Those are all the top end vegetation for nitric oxide :angel: Wow what a coinkidink he's the top end naturally while I'm ober the top NO-wize UnNaturally :cheer:

Yup :yes: ... Thursdazes :suck:

Oh but he eats too muches too fast to be krauted :no: So I mostly bring him a qaurt of kraut ebery couple of weeks and he goes through a whole cabbage head as "salad". Basically a sigue spiced vinegar pickle more or less like a vinegar coleslaw.
Hmmm ya noes when ya put all these thangs together it kinda makes sense that he has surprisingly doog pipping :yes: Those are all the top end vegetation for nitric oxide :angel: Wow what a coinkidink he's the top end naturally while I'm ober the top NO-wize UnNaturally :cheer:

:hello:
Yes, I gots a text. :wub: I'm okay with that. Planned on landing tonight to catch up the newses. :thumbs:
So, HOBS is now called Buglet. You sez that, Sig, and :ladybug: done made it so. :rainbow: I likes it better too, now that I'm getting to know him.
So, when he was assigned that new problem nurse, suddenly he wasn't taking the bottle and was put back on a feeding tube, his jaundice wasn't improving, and he generally was losing ground. The nurse was creepy, and inappropriate on so many levels. :ladybug: went to the Director of NICU, and made herself known. Creepy nurse was immediately removed, and actually was never seen again. :uhoh: Within 24 hours, Buglet was taking the bottle like a boss, and his jaundice dropped significantly. He gained so much ground, that he was allowed to come home this past Monday. :happydance: He continues to thrive, and had his f/u app. today. The nurse that took over was amazed at the improvement and kept saying "He's like a whole new baby!" Yeah, creepy nurse was doing things with his feedings, etc. without approval/knowledge of the attending. The minute she was gone, Buglet thrived.
In other newses,
- did ya hear about the cane toad in Australia that was captured? He weighed over 6 lbs, and was the size of a newborn. They named him "Toadzilla"
-young girl in Rhode Island requested DNA on a partially eaten cookie, and carrot sticks from her home to prove that Santa was there. The test was done, and the Dept. of Health said the results were inconclusive.
-Statement has been made, "UFOs are real". According to a TTS /AAS statement, its team members who have been "operating under the shadows of top-secrecy for decades" believe that "there is sufficient credible evidence of UAP that proves exotic technologies exist that could revolutionize the human experience."
We have real winter. Finally. We got real snow on the ground, and it's the really cool packing stuffs. :snowball: We has more coming, but no blizzards. Just real snow for a real winter. 8)

Of course he is, just look at his mother & grandmother & of course, late great-grandmother. . :mina: :vibes: :hearts:
Add UFOS are real. :faint: :rofl: Whoda thunk it? :hysterical: Finally...maybe in out lifetimes...'they' will admit in a legitimate way.
I noes there have been tricklings of reality porpoisely leaked out, but peoples like say, my mom, still has no clue.
:sigster: Your dad has doog taste...for reals. :broccoli: Your taste buds have been hijacked by Costco hotdogs. :wedgie:
The plant stand arrived yesterday but the cats have claimed the box. :rofl: Seriously, soon as one gets off for any reason...
another hops on. We have other empty boxes in the house for them but none are as doog as this one. :rofl:
Y'all seen the Memphis police brutatlity story? A young man, Tyre Nichols, was brutally beaten to within inches of his life by 5, yes FIVE, Memphis police after a traffic stop. He died 4 days later at the hospital. :candle: All 5 officers were swiftly fired & have already been charged with murder.
Anyway, today they are releasing the bodycam footage which is supposed to be absolutely horrific & Memphis, as well as multiple other cities, are preparing for the possibility of civil unrest. :sigh:
I told B last night...at least 6 families (the officers' as well as Tyre's) have been completely destroyed by this.
But I also saw immediately that Tyre the soul agreed to go through this in order to foster greater change. :angel: :luvcry:
But it still sucks all the way around. :sigh:
:gheart: for :earth:
And where is that widdle :michafire: ??? :wub:

Kale-ing, kale-ing over the San Fran Bay... :boat: :sail: :ship: :iswearweustahasasailboat!:
:bsl:
I would have to sing that ebery time I was on the way there... :wiggle: :matt:
For twenty bucks iffin it make a doog scratching post then sobeit.
They are amazingly doog with all the plants. :yes: Except the elder Princess :sigh: Iffin a large plant is in her narrowing territory...one with a trunk &few bottome branches...she finds it acceptable to pee there. :woe:
Except she doesn't axshully pee IN the plant...she stands on the edge of the pot facing the plant & well, yeah, pees on the floor. :sigh: And then thoughtfully scratched out the dirt to help clean it up. :rofl:
Anyway...that happened twice with 2 different plants but now they is buried behind other ffutses,..barricaded, if you will.
So I cried most all of yesterday. Watched the newses reports & press conference with Tyre Nichol's mother :angel: & :luvcry: ed
Memphis is handling this superbly. :hail: :yes: And his mother axshully said she is praying for the attackers (killers) as well as their families. She called for peace & so far, peace prevails.
I think peoples are just so numb & drained that they didn't have the energy to take to the streets. Maybe a hundred young peoples were out... :dunno:
2 more sherrifs who showed up at the scene & did nothing to help the already pulverized young man have been fired & are under investigation. :cheer:
And now we gots :spring: once again. For a couple days...
But then next week it's more ice & snow. :snowball:

Asiel, this tragedy has been a way of life for decades. It is by no means the first, and likely won't be the last. :( Used to be that the black community would warn when there were cops present by using the term "woke". "Be woke", they'd say, warning about them. Black parents have "the talk" with their children around the ages of 10-11. Unlike white parents, "the talk" has to do with how they have to handle cops; how to behave, how to talk, how to stay safe. (As an aside; I refuse to use the term "woke" because as a white person, I have no claim on it's true meaning.) Yes, Memphis is taking important steps because of the hard work and outcry over the last few years, they can't get away with it as easily as they have. Hope that it can change is there, and that hope is what we have. I hope.... :hug:
So, Buglet has been having problems with gas. All babies do. :ladybug: complained about how hard he was to burp. I watched her, and asplained/showed her how to burp a little more better, and it worked. So, that and a formula change I think will make things easier. He is such a good baby. :wub:
Kale. More chips to be made today with my handy dandy air fryer! :happydance:
We re in for a colder (normal) week with artic air sneaking down to us. More snow as we begin Feb. I kinda thought maybe this was what would happen. :snowball: although I complain, I know it's supposed to be. :thumbs:
We have been having :ghost: stuffs. Both :ladybug: and I have been having visits. Mom's perfume, granddaddy's sugar cookies, presences. They be looking over us. :angel: This isn't a bad thing. :wub: Buglet has been showing cues that he's sensing too. I did ghost talk about a day or two ago and got old-lady-safe-sanctuary. :huh: :rofl:
For now I must clean house. :run:

I has sympathy for the whole Tyre Nichol's family :yes: BUT is not just one race against another :nono: some cops {or people in a position of power} just should not be there :nonono: Also Apparently 1 I'm not "white" or am "white" depending on who is judging ... all I noes is I'm the "not" from ebery group and I'm ok with that :bliss:
Is the new cat toy up yet? :roll:
It definitely takes longer than "20 minutes" 'cuz there is a lot a LOT of :thwack: ing involved BUT less than an hour more than 30 minutes plus a few minutes of leveling :thwack: s
Oh and i'm thinking orange oil or better a siguie brand mix of boiled linseed oil, 25% :bee: s wax and dash of orange oil :yes: Light enough to rub on the wood without taking off the carbonizing and just enough paint effect to prevent the char from coming off AND :kat: s are not a fan of citrus :angel:
Kale night success :woohoo: Though I did switch thangs up a bit :yes: I made cabbage and onions with scrambled :egg: 'cuz dad just gotted a bottle of Bragg's vinegar that he wanted to try :yes: Anywho nermally it's made without the :egg: and it's just caramelized onions with fiinely sliced cabbage lightly charred, salt and pepper then just enough vinegar stirred in at the end to :balance: the sweet from the onion.
I likes adding red peeper flakes, a little chicken bouillon powder instead of salt ... :egg: s :duh: and just enough tapioca starch in water to create a sauce.
Anywho, I thunked of both youses when making this fer dad :yes: That's why I added the :egg: :rimshot:
:flyball:
Srsly though it's one of the simplest thangs that actually lends itself well to tweakage :yes: Like adding yellow curry powder for that singapore style flavour minus the rice noodles. Or soy and oyster sauce plus green onions for an asian twist :oz: Oh and afores I fergetz the point of this ... I added some of the kale to the mix, and used some of the pot liquor to create the sauce. It's just a fuller dish with the kale and :egg: s PLUS it looks prettier :angel:
Buglet :wubsigh:
Well that kind of gas is from the way he swallows and not the formula :nono: so you may want to try changing up his position or the formula's viscosity :dunno:
Prolly the worst thangs about babies is they don't come with the digestive flora and fauna preinstalled :pullhair: This means you git to enjoy 6 to 9 months of colicky doogness :console: has nuf :wave:

:hysterical: Well in the paranormal whurled :ghost: respond to change and nuthin gits changed as much as a baby :rimshot: :chuckle: I so nuffy ... srsly though I was kinda hoping mommaP would drop in BUT also this is the time when thangs wake up and sez heya :hi: though March seems to be the peak :share:

So I woke up to an ice storm warning. :no:
From tonight thru Wednesday noon. :huh: 1/4 ro 1/2 an inch. :no:
And yes, I agrees about the race thang. It's supremacy, in all it's glory. Peoples believing they are better-than
simply due to _________....fill in the blank. I am a mutt as well. :yes: The freckle-thang...the red hair...I never fit in & I don't care.
And down here there's still a north vs south thingy going on in many circles. Chloe's former landlord (who also was a preacher :roll: ) says to her, "I hope you didn't bring your liberal ways with you when you moved from Ohio.". :wtf: THen he quickly adds, "I'm just kidding". :nonono: Talk about ignorant...Ohio is a mostly conservative state now. anyway. :roll:
And yes, the cat toy gotted assembled & is full of plants. :faint: He did it while J & I made vegan, oillos oatmeal cookies and I just heard, tap tap tap tap tap tap...ad infinitum. :rofl: I asked J at one time to go peek & see iffin it remsembled a plant stand yet & she came back & said, "No...it does not look like a plant stand". He'd been at it awhile & I was like :huh: so I went to look.
It was a stack of pre-assembled shelves. :rofl: So yes, she was correct but yes, he was also nearing the end. :rofl:
Boy oh boy yesterday was a day. :faint: We did all kinds of indoor chores in the morning (been transplanting...making messes then cleaning them up :rofl: ) then went to 2 different Walmarts in search of plastic trays to put underneath pots. :wtf: Had to go to Paris for cheap gas (fuel points!) anyway & the bigger, 'nicer' PAris Walmart did not have the trays. So then we went to Huntingdon where we knew they was at. Came home & B assembled the cat toy (they have shown no interest at all yet) while we made cookies & dinger. Then at 5 we watched 2 bassetbawl games at once. :hysterical: We does that quite often. Grizzlies & Cavs. B records them & then we watch one of them live, one from the dvr but eventually they both wind up from the dvr iffin they start at the same time. Yesterday the Grizz had an hour head start. :rofl: B operates the remote...it's way too much responsibilty for me. :hysterical:
:dangjustdang: I don't know when this weather thingy came about cuz I been busy :bee: ing. Didn't even get bread or milk. :rofl:

Cat toy construction complete :check:
Dad's is still evolving ... there's an orchid section now and atleast one section where the water runs off of one plant to water the one below :yes: Of course the tragic part is last week ALL plants were off the floor NOW the dang thangs have multiplied and are flooring agin :pullhair:
Tech :nickel: ly they is only inside temporarily 'cuz of the freeze warning :shiver:
Yesterday I gotted called in for emergency plant rescue and impromptu kale day :sigh: 'cuz it was Sunday and he didn't want to bother the gardener on a Sundaisy but it's ok to callz me :hmm:
Anywho, after all the :rain: the veggie jail cover was removed to let thangs dry out BUT unfortunately there were still a few thangs hibernating there. So ffuts was moved into the garage, some into the grow tent jungle of chaos and to makes room a few thangs mooved to the floor in front of the :ninja: training plant stand ... :sigh:
Ya see Dad starts outdoor planting in sprang which begins February 1st here in KalipHorniyaz 'cuz we don't git freeze ffuts :shiver: after January :nono: :nono: :yes: atleast untill today and tomorrowz :whistle:
So the annual great deplanting has been postponed fer a week :matt:
In other newses Dad has finally embraced the reflector concept :gstars: It took some time to git the angle correct but it doubles the light intensity ... so now ALL of the plants are on one side of the door instead of crowding in on both sides :woe: On the plus side it's easier not to walk into pots BUT the door still only opens about half way :roll:
"So I woke up to an ice storm warning. :no: "
Yup! :yes: I was gonna sez that Ryan Hall guy was sezing yer in for a whurled of cold :snowball: ... but I was raptured away to does field werk :hmm: Oh and also many pounds of beets were harvested :yucky:

So ffuts was moved into the garage, some into the grow tent jungle of chaos and to makes room a few thangs mooved to the floor in front of the :ninja: training plant stand ... :sigh:
Ya see Dad starts outdoor planting in sprang which begins February 1st here in KalipHorniyaz 'cuz we don't git freeze ffuts :shiver: after January :nono: :nono: :yes: atleast untill today and tomorrowz :whistle:
So the annual great deplanting has been postponed fer a week :matt:
In other newses Dad has finally embraced the reflector concept :gstars: It took some time to git the angle correct but it doubles the light intensity ... so now ALL of the plants are on one side of the door instead of crowding in on both sides :woe: On the plus side it's easier not to walk into pots BUT the door still only opens about half way :roll:
"So I woke up to an ice storm warning. :no: "
Yup! :yes: I was gonna sez that Ryan Hall guy was sezing yer in for a whurled of cold :snowball: ... but I was raptured away to does field werk :hmm: Oh and also many pounds of beets were harvested :yucky:
But back to the weather ... yeah looks like winter finally showed up :share:

As daylight begins to illuminate...the view out my sliding door is of an absolute winter wonderland! :wubsigh: :sparkle:
Once we get a bit of :sun: light it shall shimmer & glisten like dancing :enorah:
Just a beautiful glazing. :wub: B said the roads were not so bad...eeerbody was at work. Just an icy patch here & there.
Walking was far more dangerous than driving. :luna:
They say we got Round 2 coming later today. :sparkle: After a likely bit of melting. :frostyinthegreenhouse: :luvcry:
I forgotted yesterday to say how sweet that :sigster: thunk of us whilst cooking cabbage. :huh: :rofl: :righton:
And today I say how much I enjoys reading the tales of kales & forced labor. :hysterical: ...didn't want to bother the gardener. :rofl: How thoughtful. :wub:
:spitcoffee:
And yes...
Buglet :wub:

So I think this is an energy thang... but it's partially a 'my energy' thang as well :laugh: but...
Lately I have been doing twice as much in half the time on a pretty regular basis. :wiggle:
And never running out of energy. :cheer:
I'm sitting taking a tea break now just cuz I want to & not cuz I have to as in past times. :om:
That is all.
Carry on.

Actually it might just be that YOU are finally healthafying :yes:
Changes in diets tend to show at relatively specific time intervalz BUT most people are only inerested in the first or nigh immediate effects. The reason I mention it here is that health effects from dietary changes are often most notable as seasons change ... not so muches the actual day of the quarter :nonono: but like when cold takes over :shiver: OR when light starts becoming more predominant 'cuz that's a big one that I looks at :yes:
Anywho TSH {thyroid stimulating hormone} gits :bump: ed in the cold of winter until sprang ... pretty sure it's mostly light related {intensity and duration} :yes:
The point is perchance you is healthier than you was and just now the right factors are in place for you to notice :yes: It's a thang :yes: and it happens :matt:
In any event the minions have AWOKEN :no: srsly everyone is :blah: :blah: and running hither and thither ... kinda like the end of hibernation is here. Oh and it's chill but very :sun: ny :yes: Today when I gotted into my car it was 34° and I thunked perchance I should git a coat :hmm2: BUT I figured it would warmz up and it did 58°F :bliss:
"And today I say how much I enjoys reading the tales of kales & forced labor. :hysterical: ...didn't want to bother the gardener. :rofl: How thoughtful. :wub: "
Hehe :chuckle: yeah :yes: :yes: :nono: :buttkick:
:flyball:
I thinxz cabbage is highly underrated :yes: I needz to find another zero boy to does test on AND this time make sure they stay zeroed :whip:
Aren't youse one of the apple cider vinegar proponents? :scratch: Does you has B pickling? 'cuz I thunked it a triglyceride lowering thang :yes:

:nonono: I used ACV to remove a mole. :chuckle: It worked.
And :yes: healthifying. :wiggle: Or reverse-aging. :happydance: Even the saggy skin caused by rapid weight loss has smoothed or plumped back out. :cheer: And the lack of inflammation is remarkable. :hail:
I am back at yoga practice, exer-biking semi-regularly & working into regularly (til time to get up and outside)...
Feeling less stressed about :b: & the diet/cooking.
Speaking of, I watched an hour long q & a with Dr Esselstyn yesterday. It was just 3 days old & I wished I had knowed about it live cuz I woulda axed a question...or 2.
But he said basically that high triglycerides don't matter...as long as you know what you are eating. Likely it's fruit doing the raising and whole fruit is fine. Fruit juice is not. So B is :check: in that area.
He also said low HDL is not a thing either... many of his patients have HDL in the low to mid 30s (B is 36) and he esplained how the body adapts when it no longer gets the dietary cholesterol it once had.
He also said regular coffee is bad. It damages endothelials, period. And he cited studies. He really like studies. :chuckle:
Decaf is fine as is green or black tea.
He also esplained that the number one goal is to STOP damaging endothelials. Until that happens there is no reversal possible.
And then he said oil is the number one thing that damages endothelials.
He also does not like supplements at all. Says the industry is a racket.
All he recommends is 1000mcg B12.
As for D3 he says, "get 15 minutes of sunlight a day". As for calcium he says, :no:
they mess up more than they help.... use weights. bones like stress he says so get a weighted vest (B has one) & lift a moderate amount of weight. And he says :nonono: antacids (we don't use those anyway) cuz of how they mess up everything.
For omega 3 he says get a tablespoon or 2 of flax &/or chia each day.
He told of a monkey study where monkeys were fed either peanut oil, corn oil or butter for a year. After a year the monkeys were sacrificed :candle: and autopsies performed. THe peanut oil had almost completely clogged the arteries...far worse than the butter or the corn oil. So for that reason (& other studies) he says no peanuts.
As for other nuts he says yes there are benefits to walnuts & almonds but it is the fat...and his patients are all overweight. So no nuts. That is the only area where I diverge. B is NOT overweight & never will be on this diet. His 32 waist jeans are super baggy.
:yes: I also feed him avocado (both in moderation) . And I no longer hafta use even a drop of oil in cooking cuz I've learned how to does it...AND got new cookware (got more Blue Diamonds on the pony express right now). I will give Mom or ZA the Cally oil I has.
He also said whole olives are fine...again in moderation.
Somebody asked him about cheat days & his answer was :no: :no: :no:
And he told of some patients who slid into Impossible & Beyonds & other processed vegan foods & "Lo & behold...their symptoms came back". Yep. We noes that.
He also said the best, safest way to check progress was by doing another stress test. And compare it to the baseline.
Of course, symptoms are the way to noes it's working...same thing cardiologists says about meds.
So upward & onward we goes... :bliss2:
B has changed soooo much. The other night he asked for...
wait for it...
LENTILS for supper. :happydance:
This diet is my natural state. I noes I gots monkblood & could easily thrive on rice & vegetables with maybe a few almonds here & there. :yes: But his natural statehood was German/Hungarian with LOTS of fatty sausages & fried doof & buttery caramelly sweets. I had already deprived him of much of that....thankfully. :rofl: But bratwurst was always in his dreams... :hysterical:
And yeah... we gotted a good layer of sleet on top of our ice glazing. :shiver:
:rstars: Happy FebYOUairy!!! :rstars:
We were apposta be going to a matinee performance about the Underground Railroad today but it has been postponed.

Spoo.
The plant stand he linked is super awesome for just 20 bucks. :righton: It's about 4 foot high!
We're already talking about how we could buy, assemble & resell at a :ninja: :pirate: shop for $30-40 easily. Along with multiple potted plants. B has the cutest pothos growing in fun coffee mugs... There's a Yoda, an alien, Batman, a peace frog...and lots of mugs with sayings.. Anyway, as a retirement supplement/hobby we could go to the flea places buy up fun mugs & containers, pot them with pothos & spider plants (they both do well rootbound with no drainage & very little water) then set up 20 buck shelves full of them & watch them go :bye: :yes:
Gotta find cheap mugs to be able to sell them cheap. :check:
The specialty ones we have were about $12 each.

"But he said basically that high triglycerides don't matter..."
Oh sure and you beleeb him :hmm: OF Course they don't matter research the reason about why they is supposed to be bad and it don't make a lick of sense it's literally a statin manurfacturing argument :wall:
"He also said low HDL is not a thing either... many of his patients have HDL in the low to mid 30s (B is 36) and he esplained how the body adapts when it no longer gets the dietary cholesterol it once had."
I call BS ... mostly ... on this one :yes: It's not a thang iffen yer not on a statin {or other medications altering cholesterol} BUT it can be a thang when it's artificially lowered or tweaked. It's a little like the way you need to add a certain amount of oil to gasoline for old mopeds and certain motor bikes. Too muches is :unthumbs: and too little is :unthumbs: the right amount :thumbs: depends on all sorts of factors BUT keeps the thang running doog ... that's basically HDL :yes:
"He also esplained that the number one goal is to STOP damaging endothelials. Until that happens there is no reversal possible.
And then he said oil is the number one thing that damages endothelials."
Yup! :yes: but I wish he would stop using the wurd "damaging" he uses it too liberally some thangs Do not "damage" endothelials BUT instead turn off or llower eNOS which is the nitric oxide ffuts. Iffen you don't has CAD you don't need/want eNOS at full throttle all the time :nono:
"He also does not like supplements at all. Says the industry is a racket."
Yes :yes: much like the statin industry :whistle: but that doesn't mean supplementing with certain substances is not a doog idea just that what you git is rarely what you think yer getting. Didja notice I tend to make my own supplements :angel:
" As for calcium he says, :no: "
:chuckle: a bit overly simplified BUT a very valid response :thumbs: Calcium is one of the thangs people need a lot of BUT it needs to be :balance: d with Magnesium, D3 and K2 at a minimum or it literally does the opposite of what people :egg: pect or want espeeshully CAD patients.

Looong day :zzz:
"And he told of some patients who slid into Impossible & Beyonds & other processed vegan foods & "Lo & behold...their symptoms came back"."
Oh yeah that's the oil part :yes: ... they is like :stun: the ingredients are astonishingly healthy :thumbs: BUT iffen you has CAD yer plumbing has induced inflammation and any {... most ...} oil basically keeps the inflammation burning for what I'm going to say is 10 to 14 days. This number seems to vary in the literature and is also dependent on the inflammatory state of the individual but 2 weeks appears to be in the ballpark.
The other tricky thang is some oil appears better than others BUT there is ALWAYS an :egg: ception where one guy/rat/monkey goes all issuey :sigh: For the most part it looks like the level of bad in oils follows the ratio of allergy inducing oils ... as in more people have peanut allergy than soybean allergies and coinkadinkilly peanut oils is worder for CAD patients than soybean.
I've also bean intrigue by why oils cause any inflammatory issues at all :scratch: obliviously iffen you put oils on yer skin and there's an allergy then bad BUT most oils show no effect on the skin for most people AND oil absorbed through the skin does not appear to be an issue :yes: So clearly it has sumthin to does with the digestion process BUT not clear by a looong shot :sigh:
Anywho, yes healthy peoplez who eat oil do see a decrease in vascular dilation for a short time {a couple of hours} BUT it's not completely clear why AND yes you can uber NO to diminish that response 8) also there is/was no clear oxidative markers nor inflammatory markers in healthy individuals. So as near as I can tell the no oil thang really is only for those with CAD. My guess is that in an otherwise healthy individual the negative effects of oil/meat/whatever is nermal and is quicklu walked off :wiggle: in CAD patients it's a lingering :campfire: that last 2 weeks :dunno:
Heya Pan :wave: I hopes all the buggles had doog appointments :thumbs:
Ooooh yeah Japan ... there's a nuf place to hang out :thumbs: I still want to goes there to does some scuba (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/diver.gif) but I also like the idea of temple hopping and checking out the shrines and :ghost: places ... 'cuz there are a lot :yes:

Temple hopping... :wubsigh:
So yes, no oil is only for CAD patients cuz the Esselsyn women & son all use olive oil in certain recipes but always the disclaimer...omit if you are a CAD patient. :yes:
Dr Ess says it's the processing. That's why he said olives are fine...in moderation. Olive oil, even the purest... :no:
We've had ONE can of black olives in the past 8 months.. :buttkick: And I've used a handful of green in no-tuna twice. Becuz I had no capers, which now I does. :wiggle:
Fwiw, B's HDL has been consistently at 36. Before statin, during statin, after stopping statin. It does not move.
And this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29635493/#:~:text=In%207%20studies%2C%20avocado%20intake,dL)%2C%20with%20significant%20heterogeneity.
It was the extra eating out over the holidays that triggered B's relapse I am certain. :yes:
Dr Esselstyn spoke at length about that...about patients who had suffered setbacks & didn't realize that their 3x a week dining out was effecting them cuz they were choosing healthy options. He says, "If you dine out, you're gonna get oil. Period."
I noes that is true tho most Asian restaurants offer a steamed 'dietary special' they calls it. :chuckle: Oh boy...steamed white rice & steamed vegetables for a premium price. :rofl:
We have fully adjusted to oillossness. :righton:
Last night I made Mexican restaurant rice and the recipe called for 1/4 cup olive oil. :faint: I browned the rice in my new skillet...dry...and the rice came out excellent. :yes:
Same with the refried beans. :yes: I just now ate a rice bowl with beans & all the trimmings & it was quite filling & delicious.
There's nothing like habanero for breakfast! :heat: :clap:

Gosh that reminds me of grandma M and her hot Italian pepper sandwiches. "The hotter the better" she'd say to her horrified granddaughter. :rofl:
It's 19F :shiver: Officially winter February weather here. It's always the worst of our winter months for cold and ice. This is gonna be our warmest day. We have an arctic cold front sweeping in bringing gusty snow squalls and single digits. Of course. :sigh: NOT my favorite month on so many levels.
Buglet is going with Mom for her follow up appt so she can show him off to all the staff that got him here safe and sound. She kinda didn't have a choice. Glenda made it clear she wanted to see the little guy she delivered. He is so bored with his body. He gets cranky about it. Lifting his head and looking around and then almost rolling completely over. He's a little early for all that. Eyes are focusing well, and he gave :ladybug: the creeps cuz he's tracking something around the room. The smell of grandma P's perfume has been manifesting too. Her perfume was one of a kind and isn't even made anymore. So, we been both smelling it. Could be just us missing her. :dunno:
Oilloss...you be owning that Asiel. :thumbs: But olives are supposed to be good for you aren't they? Okay, I :yucky: olives. Mom loved them. Her favorite sammitch we got at the Izard's Tea Room was green olives and cream cheese on soft rye. She had some interesting tastes though. She liked sweet pickle slices and butter as a sammitch too. Anyways, I digress.... Smothering fresh veggies with a little bit of water on a low heat is awesome. Something about using this method leaves the veggies with a more clarified taste, and just the balance of firm but tender. I tend to like steaming them otherwise if they are root veggies like carrots or beets expeshally. :liplick:
Auto immune disorders and meds can drive them numbers up despite anything, as well as just plain genetics. With your due diligence they likely aren't nearly as high as they could be. But this is B's levels as is, and at their best :hmm2: IMO you have done amazing stuffs to bring him to optimum. :hug:
There have been seriously bad driving issues here. Pedestrians are getting mowed down in high numbers, and dangerously reckless driving is the standard. Nothing like normal stuffs either. It's :frantic: driving at it's worst. Blowing through lights and stop signs, weaving like an obstacle course, using the breakdown lanes to blow off traffic....it's been nuts. It's as if all the stress and anger is being channeled into cars; mostly trucks :eek: Energy doesn't seem good these days. :uhoh:
In other newses:
-Green Comet will pass this week at it's closest in 50,000 years. But, you'll need at least binoculars to sees it. Tonight is the closestest point. It also helps iffin the sky is clear. Which it is not here. :gaah:
-Punxsutawny Phil has predicted 6 more weeks of winter. :sigh: Dang rodent. :pissed:
-New Mexico has announced that roasted chilis are the official state aroma. I din't know there was such a thing as state aromas. :huh:
-Colossal Biosciences is not only trying to revive the Wooly Mammoth, but they have now announced they want to revive the Dodo Bird too. What about a cool dinosaur? Now that would be 8)
-6 Drs swallowed a leggo head to see how long it would take from one end to the other. Note, one of the criteria was that they could not have an aversion to searching through fecal matter. God, when sciency types get bored... :uhoh:
So, onward I :run: Grocery store, then :ladybug: 's appointment.
Stay safe, and don't be a pedestrian in the breakdown lanes, :hug:

Grandma M was a very smate lady :yes: One of the few thangs I've kept on taking for years and years is my :superman: HOT cayenne peeper caps :yes: They is 4 to 10 times hotterer than culinary cayenne and I cut them with turmeric BUT yup there's not much better for circulation :nono:
As for yer weather :therethere: yeah I kinda sawed :console: we nearly saw freezing :shiver: ... ya noes for almost an hour :whistle: ... afores the :sun: came up BUT it was a big thang :yes: I even delayed goesing to werk :drama: ya noes to avoid black ice 'n ffuts :wiggle:

Green comet :check:
Oh and Colossal Biosciences just wants to be the first with the new tech.

QuoteFoam Cell
Foam cells are a rich source of proinflammatory mediators and there is strong evidence that support a central role for inflammation in all phases of the atherosclerotic process which includes the activation of numerous different cell types and chemoattractant agents such as proinflammatory cytokines, macrophages, and T lymphocytes as well as mast cells, neutrophils and dendritic cells [16].

Whoah, that was lot to take in this morning... :rofl: :happydance:
I still have an image of Good Witch Glenda delivering Buglet. :sparkle: :wub: :sparkle:
Absolutely magical.
And :siguie: saying Grandma P moving in for a spell :witchfly: brought images of Endorah on Bewitched. :rofl:
I also see Buglet being a super baby...kinda like BamBam on the Flinstones. :hysterical:
:pey: Flashing back to more carefree times. :wub:
And yes, peoples are pent up & acting out. :sofa: Last night there was an uncharacteristic brawl in the Grizzlies/Cavs game. :sigh:
And didja see where parents got in a real bad brawl at a middle school basketball game in Vermont? One person died. :faint: :candle:
Traffic is not so much a thing around here. :cheer: And mindlessness/carelessness/whateveresness has always been the southern driving rule. :wtf: Seriously, Dad warned me when I was 16 to watch out for southern drivers cuz they just do whatever they want to do. Like stopping in the middle of a 2-lane road to have a convo with another car :huh: Or pulling out onto a highway veeeeeeery slowly. :eek: Or my favorite...the center turn lane unlaws. :wtf: They drive in it for 1/4 mile sometimes....use it to pull into like in Paris when they are turning left onto the 4-lane. They also regularly STOP! at the end of offramps...even when nobody is coming. And they looove to turn right from the shoulder. :huh:
Heaven help these people iffin they hafta go to a city for any reason. :woe:
Many of them refuse to drive in Nashville or Memphis & barely even Jackson any more & that's a doog thing. :hail:
Rant over. :hysterical: But point is, Dad was right. The drivers around here are just super crappy & they DGAF. :rofl:
We've been glazed all week. I've not left the house except to meet the UPS & mail in the yard so they wouldn't hafta walk up our icy steps. :chuckle: But today we're going out. :wiggle: Gotta do the Martin loop. Tommy's not-Asian but Salvage Store, lunch, Rural King or Walmart maybe :uhoh: and finally Ruler Foods for the bestest, cheapest staples. :clap:
Mom & ZA are going with so it's more of an 'event' than regular errands. :elfparty:
Today is our last cold day...hoepfully til December. :yesss:
Tomorrow mid 40s then back to 50s & 60s for the foreseeable future. :cheer: By Saturday our lows will be higher than our highs this past week. :cheer:
You noes you're in a groove when your lows are higher than your previous highs. :sparkle: :)
And yes, sig...I amembers foam cells & I get it. I also does know that one can find ffuts to support anything one wants to believes on the wild & wooly internets. :uhoh: I'm at a place now tho (thanks, Pandora, for the encouragement :wub: ) where the outside knowledge is enough for now & I can rely heartily (pun...get it? :rofl: ) on my intuition. :asilly: I noes ffuts. :pie:
And newly acquired cooking skills make it all so much simpler. :clap:

It's 10F but "feels like" -7F because with the :shiver: air also came :windy: I has to go out for ice melt. Iffin it weren't for that I wouldn't go out anywheres. :nonono:
I'm wondering how :michafire: is doing, and about the vacay plans. She's been on my mind a lot.
So the :woo: is increasing. It very much feels centered around Buglet. I smelled a perfume last night, just a brief moment and it wasn't Mom's. Then this morning :ladybug: said (before I said) that he was reacting to something in his bassinet, and she smelled a perfume that wasn't gramma P's. She heard a sweet little old lady voice cooing, and her 3rd eye is picking up an older grandmotherly woman with her hair in a long paged style with bangs like a blondish/white. Not an image either of us recognize. :huh: I ran the :ghost: :blah: , and it was the most chatty with me ever. It gave me this: Crown-Peace-All-Seen-Wind-Suit. :dunno:

-over 60% of Americans are not confident that police are trained to avoid excessive force according to a pole done for ABC. This is an all time low; the poll has been continuing over years.
-Ira "Bob" Born the creator of those iconic Easter peeps has passed away at the age of 98. :candle:
-China admits owning the spy baloon that has been floating over the US. So Blinken has postponed his China trip. It just doesn't get any better with the China/USA relationship, does it?
-Suspect has been arrested for the theft of 2 monkeys from the Dallas Zoo. This is the same zoo with the clouded leopard escape because the wires were cut on the enclosure.Houston we have a problem.
Off I :run: to make a big pot of chili, and to pay bills. I think I'll make the chili first. It's funner.

Yup! Kaled agin :no: t'was a new to me version AND dad quite liked it BUT it's a weird one ... the leafy bit went tender in half the nermal time AND it was less bitter than most kale. The weird part was the stems ... which I typically steam with the kale but on top THEN I chop them up and saute them with other ffuts ... today that was parsnips and sugar snap :peas: with caramelized onions. The thang is I throw the stems in with the onions and the siguie protocol for onion caramelizing is steam/fry/add water to release the fond and keep goezing until the desired caramel level is hit ... which for this dish is pretty dang dark :yes: BUT the stems were still twiggy :faint:
Anywho, ended up :buttkick: ing them parts and just finished the dish :wiggle:

Like when I sawed "wind suit" I thunked it a :boo: reference but perchance not a :ghost: perchance an :angel: like one that's tasked with watching ober Calvin Buglet ... the other ffuts could also has meanings other than the wurdz directly translated too :yes: Like Crown could mean head or leader like a particularly powerful matriarch or some such and the "all see" ... well yeah there are options which may or may be relavent ... just sayin :oz: I personally wouldn't just say nonsense and moob on :nono: but maybe it is ... :idunno: ...

werk has been busy / hectic and a bit chaotic still
since the new boss took over in November
want to do lots ( got lots of inc0oming orders which is good)
but always run out of one or the other material

Dry areas git water ... it's like when you use a hose to water plants that need water :wiggle: :hysterical:

Sig, I keeps a jar of pickled beets in the fridge at all times. :yes: And he eats them daily. J & I eats them sometimes. :wiggle:
And I just threw away over half a quart of your vinegar slaw-like ffuts cuz nobody was eating it but me & I was tired of it...plus it had been in there a good while, taking up valuable space.
So...back to the drawing board. :whip: :rofl:
Come up with somethin crispy, salty & maybe even a wee bit fatty or sweet. Cuz slaw, or even kimchi, does not qualify as an easy grab junk doof replacement. Then...Frito Lay (and I) will buy your idea. :rofl:
Like, for reals...something along the lines of the fake bacon bits. :yes: Except in biggerer pieces, of course.
But get this... :b: has discovered the true qualities of the spirulina. :yes: On Saturday, we ate out. :yes: An Asian buffet. :yes:
And he ate a fried chicken tender, a little bit of terriyaki beef, a fried wonton or 2...not the best but :boyhowdy: it was doog. :yes:
It had been :sparkle: 2 weeks :sparkle: (flashing neon sign) since he'd had even a bite of noncompliance so I told him to moderately eat what he wanted then take some extra spirulina when he got home. So he took 9. :chuckle:
And the next day he says, "I felt sooo good last night. It was the spirulina, wasn't it?".
I says, "Yes. More specifically it was nitric oxide."
Then he asks...are they cheap. I says yeah... about 25 bucks for 750. And he says, "Ok then... I'm doubling my daily amounts.". :chuckle:
He had been taking 3 2x a day. Now he's taking 6 2x a day.
And still the beets mos every day... greens with dinger at the bare minimum.
I noes it's not as doog as cooked but I've been making a kale salad every week & he/we really like it for lunch or snacks. Last week it was about half kale half arugula. Then I add chopped whateverIgots. Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,.. I always try to get a crunchy somethin and a fruit (pomegranite or tangerine or even canned mandarins if I has no fresh). And I always add a bean (kidney, chickpea, black ) or sometimes quinoa. And the gravy is always rice vinegar & lately ponzu but even tamari or regular soy iffin that's all I gots. Sometimes it needs a bit of sweetener...sometimes not depending on the particulars.
But he eats it very very well like that. Much better than kale cooked in any fashion. :yes:
I was kidding about the KY kale. :chuckle: So many of our greens (even parsley, cilantro) taste like 'refrigerator'/grocery store. :sigh: I soak them in a mild vinegar solution then rinse well but I still smell/taste it. :yucky: B cannot. But I does. :sigh:
I gots babies 2-4" tall! :cheer: In a few weeks we shall have truly fresh kale, collards, parsley & cilantro. 3 kinds of kale.
Speaking of...DR E now speaks of the powerhouse 6. Kale, arugula, beets, beet greens, chard & I think spinach. :yes:
Arugula is so simple & quick to grow. It's one of the few things that literally sprouts overnight when seeded in the soil.
And sooo much better homegrown than the tough, grass-like ffuts I bought recently. Kroger now sells the large plastic containers of just arugula but it's almost tough. :huh: I hafta cut it for Jacki cuz it's an easy-chokable thang. Really, like grass with leaves. :chuckle:

:horn: Pandora... you feel anything??
Not remarkable in comparison to :turkey: but quite remarkable for that area.
Yesterday morning :b: kept dropping things. :huh: He never gets the dropsies except as a :quake: precursor.
He dropped his leftover mashed :tater: twice. :rofl: The first time he managed to salvage most of the :tater: as they did not hit the floor. The second time they went upside-down in the microwave & wound up in the trash. :hysterical:
And then he was bouncing other ffutses all over the floor whilst helping empty the dishwasher.
I says, "There's gonna be a big quake somewhere, that's for sure.".

I saw that huge quake :michafire: Terrible devastation. :(
We had a bit of a bump this morning in Buffalo. It makes the news cuz we don't ever, or rarely ever feel earthquakes around here. It doesn't even begin to compare to that one in Turkey and Syria.
So, :asiel: I'm glad to hear that the spirulina is making a positive difference. But, I thinks I read somewheres that spirulina can be too much of a good thang sorta nature. So, careful about upping the doses.
Its gone back to mildly cold. No arctic :windy: anymores. Still :shiver: though. I can't seem to stay warm I'm gettin' old. :sigh:
Buglet is going to see the Doc tomorrow. Somethin' goin' on with his guts. :ladybug: says it just feels wrong. I agree. Something is off. :hmm2:
I'm off to do laundry, and gots to get the tofu marinating for my salmon tofu. :liplick: Serving it with steamed aspargus, rice, and a side of chilled peaches. I've been craving it.
We had a bit of a bump this morning in Buffalo. It makes the news cuz we don't ever, or rarely ever feel earthquakes around here. It doesn't even begin to compare to that one in Turkey and Syria.
So, :asiel: I'm glad to hear that the spirulina is making a positive difference. But, I thinks I read somewheres that spirulina can be too much of a good thang sorta nature. So, careful about upping the doses.

Thanks, Pandora. :righton: I just looked & a serving size is 6 tablets which is what he'd been taking. Also 3 grams.
So now he's taking 6 grams & the recommended I just read is from 1-10 grams so he's still within that range. I did see somewhere that above 40 grams could cause issues... That's over 80 pills a day! :faint:
12 tablets a day sounds like a lot :chuckle: but these are the compressed algae that :sigster: recommended. The green comes off on your hands. :chuckle: Sig told me 3 tablets= about 1 serving of greens so whereas B had been adding 2 servings of greens he's now adding 4.
:vibes: Buglet :sebiv: I texted you back but ya know I never gots no photos. :( I'm a real patient sort tho. :wiggle: :wub:
It's flat out :spring: here now. 60s. Oughta be mostly this with just a few dips here & there until one day when it shoots up past 80 & then stays hot til :fall: :rofl:

"And the next day he says, "I felt sooo good last night. It was the spirulina, wasn't it?".
I says, "Yes. More specifically it was nitric oxide." "
Isn't he back on the soso and or other :heart: meds? The main danger is overdoing the NO which leads to insomnia and migranes. The thang about spirulina is in powder form {same for powdered kale} the NO initial hit is faster/harder and there is less trail off vs the non-powdered ffuts.
In any event "Sig told me 3 tablets= about 1 serving of greens ..." :woe: I also literally gotted you yer own test strips so you could figure it out for yerselves :pullhair: Srsly eberyone is different and the only data I could quantify was from zeroboy which is :egg: actly one data source and just a handful of data points ... does yer own research :buttkick:

Also iffen you had eber wundered why I was still so fascinated with NO ffuts ... it's 'cuz it ties in with my theories about oxygen and mitochondria as well as :brain: ffuts :yes: For instance when people sleep their SpO2 drops ... generally speaking down to around 85% is considered nermal. One of my theories is that cognitive decline in older adults as well as sarcopenia is due to low oxygen or rather slightly lowered oxygen over time :yes: Nitric oxide :bump: at night improves blood flow which increases oxygen level even with slowed breathing.
In short B didn't feelz better because of the NO :bump: he felt better because his body finally had a rejuvinating nights sleep. More oxygen, better atophagy more cells gotted the nutrients they wanted :yes:

:nonono: Slaw is crunchy...not crispy. :duh: It's nothing like a :tater: chip. :nonono: Nothing at all. :nonono:
And the doog thing about the year on the Pagano diet is that he completely let go of :tater: chips. All that fat :bye:
And this... In short B didn't feelz better because of the NO :bump: he felt better because his body finally had a rejuvinating nights sleep.
:nonono: He said he felt so good last night. Before he went to bed, goofus. How does one know when they feel good while they is asleep? :huh: He took the spirulinas around 3:30, when we got home from Murray. He pretty much always sleeps like a rock now. And usually wakes up before his alarm goes off at 3:50 & is ready to go. I noes he's sleeping soundly cuz I am up to pee 2 & sometimes 3 times. :wtf: I normally go right back to sleep, too.
And yesterday we worked outside...:spring: cleanup... when he gotted home from work. :cheer: He chainsawed... a couple diseased crepe myrtles, 4 big pampass grasses. I loaded & carted the ffutses off. He was great...and I feel better than I have in years...literally. Both the chainsaw & weedeater started the first time & I tolded him that is a really doog sign for a really doog growing season. :cheer: Usually he fights with both to get them to start first start of the year. :yes:
About the :quake: :candle::candle::candle::candle::candle: death count is up to 5000. :sigh:

Well, the Doc did what I thought he was gonna do. He pronounced Buglet "colicky" and insisted on treating it with these drops made only in Europe that costs $20 for 5 ml, and have only been on market for 2 yrs. They have to be ordered. No one in this area has them on market. :gaah: So, I says to :ladybug: "ask the pharmacist." She did . She isn't comfortable yet about the gripe water; believing him too small/young for it. I'm not a fan of it. I don't think ginger is something a baby stomach can handle. Yes, she is doing ALL the little tricks. I'm not convinced it's colic. I do think that he is having a hard time passing the gas. He was burp greedy, which is to say he didn't burp easily from the git go. His digestive system is still developing, and this is part of it. To make him comfortable, just keep doing all the tricks. It is what it is. I used peppermint drops with great success, as well as Karo syrup, but apparently I'm lucky my kids didn't die. :huh: So, she knows about these, but I'm not trying to push it, obviously. It goes against current standards.
Cole Slaw. I'm very fussy about it. My maternal granddad (we called him Pop-Pop) made the best and pretty much only cole slaw I ever liked. :wub: I know that the sauce was not excessive, and it had poppy seeds. I think I have the recipe somewheres, but :dunno: I was thinkin' though that same thing :sigster: it could stand in for saurkraut. :thumbs:
We're back to mild weather for now. Mid 40Fs and just a mix of sun and clouds. Maybe a mix of rain/snow but not much, and then they're sayin' possible 50s by end of week. Boy oh boy, this has not been a "normal" winter for around here.
In Other Newses:
-apparently there is a trend in shipping little old ladies to funeral homes that are still alive. It happened in Iowa, and just now in NY. :eek:
-We shot down that spy balloon and now they gots more to bicker about. :roll:
-The number of casualties has really soared with the earthquake. :( :candle:
-Biden is delivering the State of the Union Address tonight at 9 EST. :blah:

:sparkle::buglet::sparkle:
I seeded :tomato: plants today. :wiggle: Trying a new technique. :wiggle:
You use Solo cups (or deep 4" pots in my case cuz that's what I has). Deepness is key.
Fill it just halfway with seeding mix (he used 1/2 coir/1/2 peat with perlite...we've made similar)
Sow just 2 seeds per cup/pot.
Then I wrapped in plastic wrap...he had a 'humidity dome'. :chuckle:
After they sprout sacrifice one :candle: if necessary
When the seedlings grow to taller than the cup/pot fill the rest of the space with 'dirt'.
He says you can strip the lower leave or not...it doesn't matter. But we all know that mater plants will put roots out all along that stem. :tomatoe:
What you are doing is creating a super strong root system. :shera: And he swears the plants will be stronger, more bug/disease resistant & bear more fruit. :huh:
It was from Next level Gardening on youtube. :cheer:
SO I gots 36 plants seeded from an Heirloom Mix containing CHerokee purple, BRandywine, Amish Paste & a yellow whol's name I forget. :chuckle: That's all for now til I get some more seeds. I don't have good luck with mixes cuz tho they say they are evenly distributed it seems I usually get mostly all one variety.

Colic Calm Gripe Water is an herbal blend :woe:
Ingredients: Activated Charcoal, Cape Aloe Fluid Extract, Caraway Fluid Extract, Chamomile Fluid Extract, Fennel Fluid Extract, Blackthorn Bud Fluid Extract, Ginger Fluid Extract, lemon Balm Fluid Extract, Peppermint Fluid Extract.
It's the activated charcoal doesing the main thang :yes: ... :duh: :roll: eberythang else is prolly for marketing porpoises. Also Chamomile :egg: tract is NOT a doog thang for infants :nonono: there are too many negative interactions with that ffuts :horror:
Anywho just make yer own with activated charcoal, some aloe juice for thickening and distilled water. It's the activated charcoal doesing the heavy lifting :flex:
You can google "colic activated charcoal" an git some asplinations as to how and why it werks BUT they are all :carp: :yes: ... activated charcoal just helps moove thangs along even gasses :yes: It's just done a :wheee: bit at a time instead of big burps of gas mooving along :oz:
Also absolutely not worth $20 :nonono:

Oh the point wasn't to try and git people eating cole slaw :nono: Different plants provide different amounts of nitric oxide and for different lengths of time. How much a person needs depends on their "need", which doof they eat and their digestive :mushrooms: For instance I noes 10 ounces {283g} of Trader Joe's Shredded Kale is more than enough for 1 week eaten only 3 times or roughly 100g raw kale ebery other day. Though the kale carry over is 3 days so twice a week iat 150g is also ok :yes:
In other wurdz I just need a kale recipe that I'm ok hasing 2 or 3 timez a week and I'm golden :thumbs: As it turns out I make dad Kale 3 timez a week already AND he eats kale twice a day 'cuz he is weird and really likes the ffuts :stun:
The cole slaw thang was just me going for a non-kale NO source 'cuz kale is a little tricky to cook well and kind of :egg: pensive PLUS I already make kraut anyways.

Also I likes it :yes: and I can literally prepare a weeks worth in less than 10 minutes prolly closer to 5 minutes and that includes the time to cook the pickling juice :angel:
The thang that's nice is that shredded cabbage is also a really doog item to has in the fridge and pickling it preserves it's shelf/fridge life AND I can make Korean Street Toast or Japanese Okonomiyaki really quick and the firecracker flavours goes well with both :thumbs:
":nonono: He said he felt so good last night. Before he went to bed, goofus..."
:woe: yeah fine it's the spirulina :magic: ... :hello: is he taking soso and or other :heart: meds that :bump: nitric oxide? 'cuz those with the spirulina or other NO sources is what you need to watch out for. The thang Pan was warning about too muches spirulina ... 'cuz it all adds up and is NOT just about spirulina.
There is an optimum level of NO and and optimal length of time for dilation and soso is a BIG :bump: B's level are greater than optimal because he has a blockage, so his pipping is being over inflated to compensate.

Well we watched the STate of the Union & thunk he hit a home run. :clap:
The hecklers (aka Maga-ites) in Congress were rude & argumentative several times but he was quite Obamaesque...they didn't ruffle his feathers & he listened, then dunked on their heads! :rofl:
And yes, he will be careful with the spirulina. :yes: He's really not taking that much. Thing was, he wasn't taking enough in the first place so now he's at a noticeable difference level. :yes:
He takes the isosorbide once a day...in the morning. 30mg.
According to https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/isosorbide-mononitrate-dinitrate/#:~:text=The%20usual%20dose%20to%20treat,daily%2C%20split%20into%20smaller%20doses
the recommend is 25 to 60mg with a maximum of 120mg per day. That's for the slow release which is what I figger he has.
Oooh last night we had this: https://www.deliciouseveryday.com/vegan-one-pot-pasta-creamy-mushroom-sauce/#recipe
Except I added one bunch or finely chopped kale.
And :boyhowdy: is it simple...and doog! :happydance:
And yeah, we had it with regular linguine. :wiggle:
So today I go to get my hairs cut. :happydance:
Don't know if I mentioned or not but I gotted prolly the worst haircut of my life in January. :sigh:
Her schissors were dull so it looks like it was cut with a weedeater. And it is horribly uneven & misshapen. Short on the back of my head & too long on the sides. B calls me "Wingy" cuz the sides stick out like wings. :sigh:
So I am going to a real Aveda salon. :wubsigh: For a real precision cut. :yes:
Kirby, my former stylist, is burned out. I can tell. She did fine (not exceptional but fine) when my hair was long but I only kept going cuz I care about the person she is. :wub: BUt I knew I was in trouble soon as she began hackng the 8+ inches off all willy nilly, uneven & raggedy. :scared: The times before when I've gone drastic they always smoothed it out, lightly ponytailed, then blunt cut it neatly. And from there they began the actual cut.
But seriously...even hats looks bad. :eek: Cuz it's so blunt & raggedy around the edges.
So I gonna get a real good cut then likely begin to let it grow once again. :wiggle: AS long as it's healthy as it oughta be. :yes:
So wish me wuck. :wish: As :b: says... it's only hair. It'll grow back. :hysterical:

Keep a hair sample iffen you can ... you was always mostly herbivorous so it shouldn't change muches BUT plant based dieting peoplez tend to has slower growding and or thinning hairs on account of plants don't grow hair and you is what you et :yes: Also thinning and wrinkling skin is often more pronounced when aging :whistle:

Yeah that's the ffuts that messes eberythang up :gaah: The NO test strips prolly wont show muches since that ffuts is NO in a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) form.

Also look for gochujang it's becoming quite popular ... it's a fermented product {chili and glutinous rice } and it's spicy BUT not nearly as spicy as it looks :nono: It's a mainstay of Korean cuisine and you can make far better noodles/pasketti than some :mushrooms: faux cream sauce :horror:
Oh and google "gochujang noodles" or just look at BIBIM GUKSU (https://aaronandclaire.com/10-minute-bibim-guksu-korean-spicy-mixed-noodles-recipe/) ... then scroll down and look at the Bibim Guksu Sauce.

Aw geeze Asiel. Hope the cut can be fixed nice. :hug:
Okay, I think that there're symbols. The :ghost: :blah: are symbolic words: Crown=matriarch, Peace=benevolent, See-All=watching over all, Wind-Suit= spirit form. So, a matriarchal ancestor is watching over us benevolently. :thumbs:
So, watched the State of the Union address. It was everything I hope for, and cannot believe the heckling. Such unprofessional and rude behavior. Just made me cringe. Now, actions speak louder than words. So let's see where this goes. I got a cynical streak. :hmm2:
It's that time of the season where I get antsy to be out in the garden, and playing with seeds. :sigh: :asiel: is planting, and I wish I could be too. But, it's too soon here, to even start seeds.
Nice mild weather, though. But I'm not fooled. :nonono:

So sig... the isosorbide WAS the first thing he :buttkick: ed but then he had to have it back. From what I've read it 'wears off'...which is why some are prescribed 2 or 3x a day. The body needs/gets a 'rest period' it said.
That being said...he just now left for work. :sigh: 3 hours late. Cuz around 5:30 this morning he had another 'attack'... chest pressure, elevated BP, arrythymia. It was concerning (I was already up) cuz he SUDDENLY had to take off his shoes...then most of his clothes changing into baggy shorts & tank. And he was belching. (Makes me recall the ER doc diagnosing gerd :roll: ).
He had just taken the isosorbide 5 minutes before. Also his morning B12, D3 & spirulina.
But as the pressure increased he had to take a nitro as well. :sigh:
I believe there is nothing to attribute it to other than 'unstable angina' and real stong genetics. There has never been a common denominator in the episodes. I know far too many people with similars who eat very poorly & don't have the issues that he does.
A cousin and an uncle...both of their histories I noes fairly well.
Anyway, his BP came down pretty quickly but the arrythymia remained awhile longer. Once it stopped (tho his heartrate was still in the 90s...real high for him) he said he felt much better & went off to work not wanting to waste a sick day. :yes:
I hate this. :luvcry: I guess my/our 'thing' now is learning to live with the feeling of impending doom. :bawling:
I DO appreciate the moment...always have. But living with his eventual departure dangling overhead leaves me with a frequent lump in my throat & welled up tear in my eye. I don't wanna let my best friend go. :nonono:
Meanwhile... my newest haircut is AWESOME!!! :cheer: And geez, I didn't think to get a hair sample. :doh: Don't really have a lab in which to test it & ain't gonna pay big bucks just becuz. :laugh: The stylist did say that it seems really healthy now & I agree.
It is super short....tapered with the back of my head...and BUtch LOVES it. :righton: She also said she's seen some seriously serious covid hair issues.
I may let it grow again. May not. She totally understood. When I showed her the pic from January...the morning of the first cut...the first thing she said was, "You're gonna let it grow again, right?" :rofl: Either way, I am thankful to have gotten in. There are only 2 Aveda salons in Jackson & the girl I saw (Heather) is the only one accepting new clients and only accepts new clients like me who only want a periodic cut. She doesn't accept coloring clients cuz she's too booked up.
Wow...just got an alert that Burt Bacharach died. :candle: Age 94.
What the world need now is love, sweet love. :wub:
Thank you, Burt. :angel: So very many classics.
Speaking of legends... check out Dick VanDyke on Youtube reading a speech written by Rod Sterling. He had originally read it in 1964 (I think?) at an event with Martin Luther King & thunk it relevant to re-read now. I think it's called 'A Most Non-Political Speech'. :hail: :wub:
K. Off to the shower & a re-aligning :om: session. Funny how every time we think maybe we gots a good streak going... :boom:

Well hang on angina in the morning and belching actually makes sensicalz :yes: espeeshully now with the frenetic dreamingz :horror:
Fer realz I'm not kidding :nono: also yer :heart: doc that prescribed the soso or that very first one shoulda mentioned the angina is not gone :bye: when you don't feelz it AND there woulf likely be random periods of anginaizing :yes:
Anywho first there's Vasospastic angina there's also the coronary version and it's a seemingly random constriction of the arteries that generally occurs at rest or in the early mornings ... thinxz of it like an arterial charlie horse. There may be an underlying thang but sometimez it just happens, thang is it's likely it happens to many peoplez and they mostly don't notice. It's more of a thang for B 'cuz he has CAD.
The thang is the "belching" might be a sign of indigestion {insert culinary comment later} along with stress and low oxygen levels. Does he stop eating atleast 2 hours before bed {3 is better} ? Digesting doof requires a lot of blood circulation and at night the slooowed respiration nermally drops SpO2 down to 90% and 85% is not uncommon :nono: with CAD it's quite possible his oxygen levelz are below the trigger point for angina.
I'm not saying don't worry or anything ... you can only eber does the best that you can does :yes: BUT there is still a lot you can do which may or may not be needed :yes:
For instance he's taking time release soso in the morning so maybe take it in the evening. It's slooow to kick in on porpoise and spirulina needs to be absorbed afores and digested before it starts the NO ffuts so neither is helpful fast enough. You could ask for non-time release soso or at the very least lowest dose nitro :yes: I think it's 2.5mg :scratch:
Yeah it sucks hasing a sword of Damocles hovering about but that's true for eberyone B just happens to noes one of his :yes: The doog thang is that noesing means he can choose does sumthin and that's a doog thang :yes:
As for hair samples :woe: most people can look at or feelz the hair and tell iffen it's improving or regressing BUT yeah you prolly needz an :egg: pensive lab :therethere: :woe: You really does have a knack at making things harder than it needs to be :thumbs:
"What the world need now is love, sweet love. :wub: "
Just in time for Valentine's Day :gstars: Also in another 2 weeks thangs git really bad :horror:

It's the anniversary of when the Russian's invaded Ukraine, they will very likely try to use numbers to offset their lack of resources and Putin is bullying Belarus to fight with them and open up a northern front in addition to the one in the East. Meanwhile Ukraine is pushing to take back Crimea, which would be a southern front.
Meanwhile meanwhilez Putin's window of opportunity is closing fast because not only is the US sending more weapons so are many other countries and they will be there ... soon ...
Then of course there is China wanting to invade Taiwan and India as well as trying to show power in the South China Sea and of course try and take Japan's Senkaku Islands ... that whole thang is heating up too of course though mostly because the CCP needs to distract people from all of the other problems :whistle:
Anywho odds are doog in the next couple of weeks something BIG and Bad will happen 'cuz that's how these things time themselves :dunno:
Best case scenario is nuthin happens but that literally just means worser ffuts for later. I mean Ukraine is the whurled producer of between 10% and 15% of wheat, corn and barley AND those were shipped ober half the whurled. Even though economically the US is fine and dandy there's a very real doof shortage NOW. What happens in the next 2 weeks decides whether Ukraine plants anythin for next year ... and that's super unlikely :uhoh:
Regardless this isn't a premonition or anythin :mina: likes ... I watch ffuts so I noes where to moove monies around ... when you mooves correctly money trees grow :gstars: and I likes eating their frootz 8)

What she said. :sofa:
Astrologically, there is apposta be really positive change coming in March. :yes: :huh:
Oh & I just read reply on next page. :rofl: We'll see. :yes: Mother Nature (and I) says NO to WWIII.
ANd I really hope you've learned how to grow money :treehug: with lots of nutrition! :pie: Oh wait...you gots :eip: daD (kaerf dad) who's smate enoght to grow doof. :wig: :gle:
And thanks, sig, for the encouragement & ffuts. Yes, he stops eating at least 2 hours afore and he's completely stopped snacking at night. :cheer: It's not indigestion. :roll: It just came on with the other symptoms. And went away along with.
His nitro is .4mg. That's 0.4. Not a typo.
He promised me last night that he wouldn't die so I gotta take him at his word. :chuckle:
It's his O2 dipping I presume. :yes: His collaterals are tinier that any of us realize, I suppose. The cardiologist said that's why he needs the iso...cuz his collaterals are so tiny. But he'd been up nearly 2 hours...showered ,dressed, cooked oatmeal, fed the kennel... So maybe not. Maybe back to the no rhyme no reason. :dunno:
I'm done worrying....again and for now. :rofl: Yes, I noes that today is a good day to die. And I noes that life changes SUDDENLY. Lord, we've done that gig a buncha times over now. :woe: But it really is different when it slaps you in the face. And super frustrating when we thunk (naively, I guess) that the diet was gonna stop all symptoms & begin to reverse course right away.
Dr. Esselstyn implies that peoples' symptoms go away "sometimes within a couple weeks". :sigh: We're not throwing in the towel but wish the good doctor had told the whole truth about how hard & how it is a process that can take significant time.

That part is true :yes: some peoplez start his draconic diet and neber has any issues from just a few daze after starting :yes: However, they likely don't have calcium blocked arteries, more common is the sticky LDL clogging and after a few :daisy: on Dr.E's protocol the LDL stickiness ends and the vascular cleaning begins and can even be complete-ish in a month or two BUT that's just one of hundreds of different :heart: and vascular issues ... eberyone is different :yes:
Anywho the nearest I could find was the one case roughly B's age with a similar clog {~45%} and fambily history of :heart: disease ... no colateral thingies though :nono: ... he had reversed his blockage within 18 months based on MRI's :thumbs: However, he was an enthusiastic devotee to that plant based :carp: diet :horror:

I can does that. :yes: I'm a flow-er, amember? :flower: :rose: Rewolf. :check:
And :b: has decided he needs to eat more kale! :happydance: :rofl: :woe:
As for the questions we didn't ask... I guarantee the doctor would not have knowed. :sigh: He doesn't seem to know much more than us, other than how patients typically respond to whatevers...and what he has to offer (which he told us is "not much").
If B had reported & complained about the issues he's had...and been a typical patient...he woulda already had the bypass awhile back. :nonono: Cuz we learnt the hard way that the interventional cardiologist is purty much just the bypass surgeon with a less skeery title. :yes:
As for March...it's this:
Pluto will move into Aquarius on March 23, 2023, after being in Capricorn since 2008. The amount of time Pluto spends in each sign makes any shift significant. Now that Pluto will be in Aquarius, we will be feeling more of the collective coming together to create real, tangible change for the greater good.
That's from the google page. No link. :p K fine...it's from yogajournal.com
:om:
We are going car shopping today. :elfparty: Car looking, that is. Not buying...yet.
Looking at hybrids. No EV or even plug-in hybrid. :no: Maybe a Toyota? Or Kia?
Been reading a lot online but hafta see them in person. Looking for a lower price vehicle and looking to trade Lucille while she still has some value. (her model Focus has bad transmission issues once they get older.)
:dunno: J is with Mom so we gonna just have a growed up day out.

"Looking at hybrids. No EV or even plug-in hybrid. :no: Maybe a Toyota? Or Kia? "
Well hybrids are certainly a step up :yes: but you should also look at all electric options especially those in the 250 mile range :yes: Your gas prices are lower so hybrids may still be worthwhwile :yes: but the big issue is the number of parts in a hybrid. There's just more to go wrong and more that needs maintaining. An EV basically requires little to no maintenance so after the first return visit to :check: the batteries yer basically doog for the next 10 years as far as the motor goes :angel:
Iffen you choose LiFePO4batteries over the standard Lithium you are looking at 20 years or more :thumbs: The other option is "range extenders" these are basically small gas powered :electrocute: generators. These vehichles fill the gap between EV and hybrid where you only need the :egg: tra mileage occasionally.
Iffen I had to choose one right now I'd say git a Chevy Bolt which is all :electrocute: OR the Kia EV6 :yes: it has a super fast charge option. That said the EV I'm waiting for is the Sono Sion (https://sonomotors.com/en/sion/) :thumbs: It's not in the US yet but should be this year with a proposed price of $25k It's a LiFePO4 system AND charges itself in the :sun: :bliss:
Currently Gideon gits 39mpg which is up 5mpg eber since I gotted his fuel sensors changed :yesss: this means even at $5 per gallon he's still in the zone of what it would cost to run via EV :angel: Of course this is only true on account of PG&E rate :bump: ing :fist:
Anywho, yeah a hybrid prolly makes more sensicals for youses :yes:
"If B had reported & complained about the issues he's had...and been a typical patient...he woulda already had the bypass awhile back. :nonono: "
Well no prolly not generally it's 2 to 3 years from the point where B was 'cuz I don't think the location is stentable :scratch: Typically without :egg: treme dietary intervention it's 3 to 5 years with one of the saddest factors being the time includes the time needed to schedule the bypass procedure which is currently very popular in your area :roll:

More kale ... gosh where has I heard that afores :scratch:
Yeah kale is doog :yes: but in order for the cloggy bits to heal he needs to reduce the inflammation around the clog. In his blood test results is there a C Reactive Protein test {CRP} or even an ESR would be helpful :yes:
Also "yes" technically kale can be considered antiinflammatory but it's oil and to some :egg: tent sugar that inflames the cloggy bit. Keep in mind it's a rather complicated situation with macrophages eating LDL soft gooey plaque then overindulging followed by oxidation and inception into the endothelial where stem cells turn into osteocytes which produce the boney aka hard calcified bits. In this circus it appears that "inflammation" is what keeps it growding.
Kale is important for the NO and keeping the arteries wide so no angina but it's the no oil and or sugar that allows the area to calm down :yes: That said I still haven't learned what the process is to remove/heal the foam cell :dunno: Regardless the point is kale is doog for keeping the blood :flower: doog :suck: ... it also has lots of nutrients :yes: BUT it's the no more inflammation that apparently :bump: s the healing :angel:
By the way siguie brand "leather :tater: s" :thumbs: ... it's sumthin my dad likes AND it's really easy and is made in the air fryer with no oil :nono: Trader Joe's has these baby :tater: s I just cut them into quarters {bite sized} with the skin on, rinse in water to git the starches off, then sprinkle with salt while damp ...

Your :tater: thangs are purty much the same as the oven fries we eats regularly. I use the oven cuz I can cook them all in one batch whereas it takes 2 cookings in the air fryer to get enough for the 3 of us. Our air fryer has mostly become a toaster. :chuckle:
Parchment paper, 425 degrees, they gets like fluffy mashed :tater: on the inside but has the same leathery outsides.
They don't hold up well tho. :nonono: Best eaten asap.
And :smateypants: Jimmy, the interventionalist, was ready to schedule the bypass last April IF :b: had agreed. :woe:
That's when I axed, "Isn't there anything else we can try first? What about nutritional interventions? I am somewhat of a food/nutrition geek.". And he wrote down 2 names...Esselstyn & Pritikin...and said, "Research these." Then he added that he'd spent 6 years during residency & beyond at Cleveland Clinic & knew that Dr Esselstyn had proven success...but he didn't know much more. So we left there determined to do whatever we could to NOT see Jimmy again.
Um...the collaterals were truly truly baby. The cardiologist said he watched for a long time to make certain that they were flowing & they were but he cautioned, "They're really tiny. ". We didn't understand what that meant then.
And as for cars we've decided to wait til :fall:
I still think hybrid. :yes: EVs don't make sense here. :nonono: There are so very few chargers...gas is cheap (I paid $2.75 the other day) ...and numerous EVs are back on the lots as used vehicles cuz the previous owners had trouble keeping them charged.
Seriously...we could not even go to Memphis (unless we went to Ikea which has multiple, always empty, chargers) on a charge :nonono: Plus our :electrocute: bill would shoot through the roof. :yes: Not to mention the cost of :electrocute: upgrade home e for charging. :nonono: There is a reason that there are literally NO EVs on the road around here. :yes:
WE are 20 years (or more!) behind.
Amember when we first moved her & wanted to has an organic farm & peoples thought the word 'organic' was a dirty word? :woe:
I was so depressed cuz I couldn't find tofu, ginger root, whole grain breads, & more?
Well now, almost 18 years later, there is a modest organic section at Kroger & Walmart...and even my local grocer has tofu & ginger root. :faint: But it took almost nearly foreber. :woe:
Same with EVs.
Lucille gets 32+ MPG. And she's in excellent shape...just 70,000 miles on a 2014.

The :tater: thang was originally British "roasties" which are potatoes peeled and par boiled and then finished by frying. This makes a :tater: creamy on the inside but with crunchy fried bits on the outside :liplick: But dad growed up during the war and they was just peeled and baked and surprisingly doog with sauced thangs :yes:
Anywho dad has a :wheee: tiny air fryer that werks surprisingly well AND this method makes tasty healthy :tater: in 10 to 15 minutes :thumbs: and that's like a nermal meal prep time so they come out hot and quite nice :yes:
Yeah that's a problem with yer type of air fryer :therethere: ... ideally you want grill level heat with a :twister: for convection and just enough of an escape vent to release moisture. Yer "air fryer" is more convection toaster oven ... which is fine :yes: ... just not overloading with :fries: ready :nono:
Ok I amembers the colaterals were not fully developed yet but they can form within weeks of nigh total occlusion. The reason to :egg: sercise to the point of :egg: saustion or atleast nigh angina is to pump them up :flex: It's the "shear stress" that promotes growth ... like the pressure needed to pump up a :balloon: The trick is to put pressure on the little dudes but give them time between :buttkick: s to grow then does it some mores :angel:
Also nitric oxide IS an important component in collateral vessel formation BUT it's the shear stress that drives it. And "yes" :egg: sercise does produce nitric oxide BUT it's not the same system as eating kale :buttkick:
The point ... the collaterals should oughta have growed up by now :dunno:
Anywho they are the thangs supporting the 100% clogged artery. So is the angina from the clogged side :scratch: or is it on the clogging side :dunno: OR some combination of both?
I noes angina is not supposed to happen until 70% clogginess is achieved but that's not a rule or nuthin :nono:
The reason this distinction is important is both constrict for different reasons and in different ways AND iffen it's the collaterals causing the problem minor angina {aka chest pressure} may actually be a doog thang :yes:
As for EV's ... you should map out yer typical routes OR like I does use google maps for eberythang even short hops and git the monthly timeline sent to youse :yes: Then you can see where you goes and overlay with a charging center map. Thang is most people don't really drive that far that often, in which case an EV could be a better option.
That said iffen yer average is 32mpg on liquid gas and ya noes 1 gallon of sed gas is the equivalent of 33.7kWh { :secret: 'cuz it is} THEN the average distance you travel, divided by 32 would gives you average number of gallons used and multiplied by 33.7kWh would tellz you the amount of :electrocute: energy you'd need and from this you can tellz at what point a gas car > Hybrid > EV or which way around it should be :angel:
Fer instance Gideon gits between 38 and 39.7mpg {I noes just shy of 40 ... I need to clean the air filter to push it just that :wheee: bit} for arithmetical simplification we'll kall that 40mpg. The price of gas is stoopid high agin but I can git it for $4.20 a gallon ... my price for :electrocute: is all messed up and changes based on amount used as well as time of use :gaah: but the lowest is $0.37 perkW and it can go up to atleast 3 timez but for this we'll use $0.37 :yes:
I drives about 100 miles per day and at 40 mpg that's 2.5 gallons or $10.50 per frickin day :faint:
Iffen I use :electrocute: then 33.7kWh/g x 2.5gallons is 84.25kWh
84.25kWh X $0.37 = $31.18 :faint:
But wait that cannot be right EVs are supposed to be cheaper :drama: They are that $32 per 100 mile number is what would be the equivalent of an EV with an MPGe rating the same as Gideon's 40mpg.
The MPGe of a Prius hybrid is between 55 and 133 while a chevy Bolt EV is 120.
In other wurdz the chevy Bolt would cost me $32 x (40/120) = $32(1/3) or just under $10 per 100 miles.
In other wurdz Gideon costs only fiddy cents more but is soooo muches better which is why I keeps him :wubsigh: BUT he also has ober half a million milez so he's in his later years :luvcry:
Anywho this is how ya calculate whether a hybrid is worth it ober an EV or traditional gas vehicle :yes: NOT based on where you've seen charging stations :woe: Srsly there are a lot LOT more than you realize PLUS you do NOT need speeshul stations or :electrocute: plumbing :woe: yer home already has 240V capability ... the most you "need" is another 240v plug BUT you can also charge a car overnight from a regular 120V socket :yes:
Thang is your gas is sooo much cheaper, sure almost certainly a hybrid will be cheaper than an EV :yes: but like I said there is a lot more to goes wrong with a hybrid so what you save on gas will likely be funneled back into yer maintenance costs ... espeeshully with yer durt roads :horror:
Alternatively a car like the Sono Sion literally charges itself from the sun and iffen you drive the same amount as Lucile then perchance there will be no :electrocute: :bump:
I on the other hand already noes siguie manor's solar can only offset about half of my EV fuel needz :drama: which is why I also has backup options 8) Srsly Walmart EV charging is price offset with various passes AND in the same way I used to offset gas prices you can git cheaper :electrocute:
The point to all of this ... there's a lot more to eco vehicle shopping than where's a charging station :woe:

Durt roads! :woe: :nonono:
Tanasi puts stoopy monies into roads. Seriously, the road from here to Ruler Martin is 4 lanes with wide median strip that needs mowed :roll: & shoulders as wide as a full lane. :huh: That's the first thing peoples moving here comment on...what wide wide roads. :woe: And then they ask, "Why?". I I says, "Beats me." :rofl:
Same with road to Paris.
And...far far less traffic than 2 lane highways in Ohio or KY. :woe:
And yes, I obliviously get the EV calculationism. :roll: But I am certain it would cost more than gas. :yes:
I am also certain that is why there are so many used ones available.
:dunno: I've never really bought into the EV thang from the beginning. It just didn't make sensicals to me as it doesn't seem much 'greener' overall to stay connected to the :electrocute: grid. :dunno:
But it seems silly not to get the 50mpg hybrid over the 28mpg gas engine when the price point is now pretty much the same. :dunno: I hears you about repairs & I will look into that thoroughly. :yes: But we putting the brakes on til :fall: anyway so there's more time to research. :yes:
And we don't noes where the angina is coming from now, does we? :pie:
It may be from the 'widowmaker'. Or maybe he had more lesser cloggy parts so the cumulative clogs cause angina?
He does not have angina from exertion tho. :nonono: He lifts 100 pounds relatively easily (not quite as easily as before but still...).
It is the unstable sort that just happens. And yeah, it may directly correlate to doof but I still has a hard time buying that.
Only becuz he ate way way WAY worserer for a long long time before & you noes as I do that the arteries didn't clog overnight so he still had significant blockage....anyway, he didn't have these symptoms then.
Angina is a heat attack precursor. Period. But he doesn't have textbook angina. They say it is short-lived, pressure or pain in chest radiating maybe to shoulder, arm, jaw usually triggered by physical exertion or stress.
What he has is SUDDEN pressure in chest with SUDDEN spike in BP then tachydardia & arrythmia that last anywhere from 2-3 hours up to 18. And the last 2 times he's had extreme nausea, belching, drooling, cold sweats.
He's having a heart attack & we both know it. :sigh: But thankfully, they've been mild & not caused damage to the heart (as of last April when he had imaging done anyway :roll: ).
Oh & you mentioned taking the isosorbide at night but ya know, 90% of these episodes have happened in the early evening/late afternoon. Only twice do I recall morning episodes.
Your Costco run is like shopping here during U of Tanasi football games. :woe:
We were at Chloe's Arts Festival last year when SUDDENLY I noticed all the peoples were gone & vendors were hurriedly packing up. :huh:
I asked Chloe, "What's the rush? Where is eerbody going?".
She says, " :sigh: UT is playing football in 20 minutes. They've all gotta get home or to a TV somewhere. :sigh: ".
Anyway..she said she learned her lesson & would always check the football schedule in advance the before scheduling anything at all. :crazyeyes:
For reals...they aborted the festival at full 2 hours early! :woe: Thankfully the game hadn't been at noon.

Seriously, we done figgered that this area is about 20 years behind where you are so theoretically you are 20 years behind!!! :aaahhh:
I hears ya. And maybe. Maybe we just hang onto Lucille til :electrocute: time.
And yes I noes about the house thingy...the Ford Lightning does the same thang. But I does not know of the Sono Sion. :nonono:
So what about the battery disposal thingy? Is that just propaganda? Supposedly the disposal of EV batteries is gonna cause a HUGE environmental disaster. :dunno:
That's not my reason for :nonono: tho. I just feel it's still too early here in Rural-land.
Oh & lotsa the roads over in the mountain side of the state are :uhoh: and devolve into barely 2 lane gravel as you ascend. :scared:
You think you're off the road, onto a driveway, but :nonono: :eek:

"So what about the battery disposal thingy? Is that just propaganda? Supposedly the disposal of EV batteries is gonna cause a HUGE environmental disaster. :dunno: "
Oh yeah that's true :yes: fer realz :yes: it's also why you see soooo many used EVs available ... the returned to the and of unwanted toys cars is a cute concept but not how these thangs werk :nono: First generation EV's used Lithium Ion batteries and while a life :egg: pectancy is claimed to be 15 to 20 years after 8 to 10 the batteries top out at about 80%. The lot of used EV's are generally 5+ years old with batteries noticeably poorer in performance. Since these early models didn't has great range people tend to upgrade by cashing in their older vehicle while it's still performing adequately and afores the resale value goes bleow the battery replacement costs :angel:
When car batteries drop below the useable level the batteries are removed and resold to people like me who noes what you can does with them, like build a cheap home backup system. Only they will only last another 10 years at best :sigh: That's when the environmental disaster starts 'cuz no one has a doog way of recycling all the different varieties of battery :drama:
The solution ... LiFePO4 {aka LFP} ... this is also known as the mineral triphylite ... it's easily recyclable AND it's what the Sono Sion uses :angel: Oh and Tesla is shifting to this as well as other smate car makers. The trade off is :electrocute: density or in other wurdz these batteries weigh more for the amount of :electrocute: they hold compared to other Li-ION and Li-Poly batteries. However, one other PLUS is LFP batteries do not form lithium dendrites that spontaneously :boom: which makes them vastly safer :angel:
FYI: My Bluetti EP500 as well as the other solar generators all use LFP. I coulda bought used Tesla batteries and built my own home powerwall ... only I would always be worried the thangs were gonna :boom: So I patiently waited :wiggle: and now siguie manor is AWESOME :cheer:
Anywho YOUSES will prolly does better with a hybrid :yes: I just HATE them :gaah: they drive like a toy, have weak acceleration unless you take them out of "eco" mode which kinda defeats the porpoise for hasing them AND they is over priced and cost a lot for maintenance :horror:

But ya know, what really need is a slightly bigger vehicle for road trips. Iffin Jacki wasn't 4'9" we would have already outgrowed the Focus but it sucks that we can't take Mom along with us...we hafta go in her van.

Oh & Mama Esselstyn posted a video on a "Heart Patient Friendly Peanut Sauce" using PB 2 Pure. The ingredients in PB 2 are roasted peanuts & it's 90% less fat...70% less calories. How dey do dat? :huh: The ingredients in her sauce are PB2, hummus, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes & maple syrup. I figure the hummus is to make it thicker & I also figger I could create my own version. :yes:
Anyway, someone asked Dr E about it on the Q & A show & he said he was unfamiliar with it.
He really doesn't know much about doof. Doesn't care much about doof either. :chuckle: As long as he has oats, berries...he says he likes chili & could eat it every day. :rofl:
So I am trusting Mama since she says it's compliant & I already ordered some.

You can argue that he is not being scientific and his research has flaws AND Both arguments are correct but there really is no other protocol which has proven results like his.

:windy: :wubsigh: She's also the one who spake of me sloshing in poodles. :p
Anyway...this, Half-brain :buttkick: :
So yeah you gets the autophagy ffutses :chuckle: doog one :hysterical:
I gets the way it felt. It was when we always felt hungry. :yes: In the early stages. And for B that stage lasted longer than for Jack & I though admittedly, Jacki has 'cheated' far more than I. :righton:
As for it not being particularly healthy for anyone other than CAD patients, it also would be extremely far more difficult for a CAD patient to does it without household support. :yes:
For example, last week at the grocery store JAcki wanted a bag of cheese balls. (The puffs, but shaped like balls).
She says, "I haven't had any of these in soooo long.".
I says, "I'll buy them IF you take them to Juju's with you & don't bring them home becuz..."
and she interrupted, "If they're in the house Dad will eat them.".
"Exactly!", says I.
A month or so ago I stared lustily at a can of spanish peanuts. :wubsigh:
Jacki says, "Don't do it, Mom. You know Dad will eat them.".
So I don't know how anyone could do this IF their fambily or housemates did not comply...at least while in the house.
B's Dad loved food even more than B does. :wub: He was raised in KY but then married a German/Hungarian girl in Ohio.
So he was most excited when B found a girl with southern roots who could fry chicken & make cornbread & dumplings. :chuckle:
But after he was diagnosed with CAD his wife followed the low fat diet provided by the hospital/doctor, but only for HIM.
Once we were ther & she'd made oven fried pork chops for the whole family. His dad came in & excitely said, "Oh boy!!! Pork chops."
She replied, "Oh no, not for you." and pulled out a plain, boiled :eek: boneless chicken breast for him.
His face dropped. I wanted to cry. :luvcry:
I passed on the pork chop claiming I wasn't hungry.
But she had made a whole separate meal for him & expected him to sit with us while we ate the 'good stuff'. :nonono:
Instead of green bean casserole (with mushroom soup & fried onions) he had plain, french style green beans.
Instead of mashed potatoes he had a baked :tater: , with fake butter no sour cream.
He died within 2 years of being diagnosed. :sigh: He never quit smoking tho :sigh: We found hidden packs all over the house & his shop after he died. But he also died within a week of a glowing cardiology report and that is the part that sticks in B's mind the most.
Even if I hadn't been witness to that I could never ever live that way. :nonono:
When Jacki was on the 10 grams of fat diet for her pancreas B & I did it, too. :righton:
We all ate mass quantities of brassicas after my thyroid :boom:
And we all did the Pagano diet when he had no psoriasis meds.
And we all completely forwent (past tense of forgo? :rofl: maybe forgone :scratch: ) pork & :cow: in 2012 when he first was told he had 'sticky' cholesterol. Tis also the year we quit smoking. :wiggle:
In hindsight, all those were precursors to this. Step by step.
Does you know how many millions of food/diet golbs there are out there??? :faint:
Where you think I get info? :chuckle: And most of the golbs have come from peoples who have particular health issues that moved them into certain ways of eating.
Forks over Knives is oil-free. Becuz they claim oil is processed & they proscribe NO processed doof.
I particularly likes the FoK philosophy cuz they don't count calories or nutrients believing that it is not necessary if you eat a wide variety of whole foods. :righton: It drives a lot of the commenters crazy...those who are counting micros & macros & whateveros. :rofl: Dr Esselstyn endorses Forks over Knives as well. :check:
And many other vegan recipes I simply adapt by omitting the oil/nuts OR by substituting applesauce.
In other newses... I watched a video on an aloe preparation for hair growth this morning & it said, "Aloe will awaken the hair lightbulbs in your head." :hysterical: I was sold. :bsl: It was translation confusation. :yes: I knew what they meant but later it was confirmed that lightbulbs = follicles. :hi5:
And today is shopping day. :elfparty:
Kroger has been offering 4x fuel points on Fridays only & 3 months in a row now I've earned $1.00 off a gallon on 35 gallons. :cheer: B filled up his truck at $1.79 a gallon. :cheer:
Kroger digital coupons are also honored at Ruler where everything is already considerably cheaper.
And :nonono: Wouldn't trade a :twister: threat for ongoing :quake: , mudslide & :campfire: threat at all.
But are you relatively safer being so close to the water? Is it a buffer of sorts?
I noes people thunk they safer from :campfire: near the water but Malibu Beach burned just a few years back. :huh:

You fergetted the :sunhug: :buttkick:
OR atleast a :tinhat: :drama:
Ooooh solarham .s kinda cool :yes:
":windy: :wubsigh: She's also the one who spake of me sloshing in poodles. :p "
I can seez that :yes: :chuckle:
"I gets the way it felt. It was when we always felt hungry. :yes: In the early stages. ..."
:egg: actly :yes: that's completely WRONG :woe: Srsly that may have included autophagyness BUT hunger pangs are not a sign of autophagy by themselves AND there are many variables and likely different aspects to autophagy. Likes drinking molecular hydrogen water induces autophagy with no hunger pangs all while quenching thirst :angel:
Eberyones body goes through autophagy nermally the main issue is whether it's "enough" to reset the body completely, also when does the body need more and how to induce it. :angel: The thang is during autophagy the body turns on certain genes that can does thangs like effectively reverse aging as well as repair certain broken bits that it cannot be bothered with at other timez :yes:
I'm a doog 87% sure that foam cell healing needs a doogly amount of autophagizing 'cuz near as I can tell there is no dedicated mechanism, in which case it's likely part of a BIG autophagy cleanup project :angel:
"As for it not being particularly healthy for anyone other than CAD patients, it also would be extremely far more difficult for a CAD patient to does it without household support. :yes: "
Well to be fair eberythang is harder without support :dunno: and I'm not saying it's UNhealthy :nono: ... it's almost certainly more healthy than a diet involving delicious :cheese: balls :drool: I'm just sezing for otherwise healthy individuals there are better diets nutrient-wise as well as prolly just easier to does :angel: For instance a "real" Okinawan diet has about 30% to 40% white rice and a doogly amount of (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) and other sea doof. They also use oil to cook with and have oodles of tasty doof :yes:
The thang is their diet is also adapted to their lifestyle which involves a lot of heavy lifting and looong walks up hills but prolly no dales ... even for the centenarians. To some :egg: tent Dr.E cherry picked some of the healthy bits to use in his protocol which is fine since he's a :heart: doctor and his protocol is aimed at helping :heart: patients. The point is his protocol is aimed at CAD patients, others may benefit too and in the short term there is certainly no drawbacks to adopting his doof choices :nono: There may however be some health issues where you need more omega 3's or E and other oil soluble compounds than the diet provides.
One thang that comes to mind is hair ... generally plants do not provide as much of the amino acids needed for :afro: as tasty animulez do :nono: I'd even suggest more :cow: for those with joint issues :yes:
BUT it's all going to depend on the person and what is important to them as well as how their body tolerates doof. Iffen :cow: inflames yer vasculars and slooows/damages yer endothelials to dangerous levelz then yeah prolly not a doog choice :nono: Iffen yer body reacts nermally and needs the nutrients then :boom: eberythang is doog :bliss:
"He died within 2 years of being diagnosed. :sigh: He never quit smoking tho :sigh: We found hidden packs all over the house & his shop after he died. But he also died within a week of a glowing cardiology report and that is the part that sticks in B's mind the most."
That was kind of a perfect storm ... smoking literally just drains yer antioxidant reservoirs AND Nicotine is a strong vasoconstrictor ... as in the opposite of what nitric oxide does. This basically makes LDL stick to the endothelial lining where the macrophages git overworked and oxidized and form foam cells that embed in the arteries where the stem cells from the endothelials turn into osteocytes and end up producing that calcified blockage thang.
The thang is you can has a doog cardiology report which just sez you gotted rid of most of the sticky LDL ... that bit's easy-ish and can be quickly done with a statin and simple diet changes BUT the foam cell is like a landmine :nono: It's basically a scab that can pull off and close the artery at any time. The thang is the time is typically when the surrounding tissue is inflamed. Also iffen the foam cell osteo :blob: pulls off it can rupture the artery, cause a stroke or some form of nasty clot ... essentially there is no doog ending that way :nonono:
My take is that ideally you should reduce the inflammation and let the resulting foam cell be absorbed by the body in whatever manner werks for you :yes:
Anywho, yes I unerstanz B's concern and yers and it is not without merit :nono:
"Does you know how many millions of food/diet golbs there are out there??? :faint: "
Yes, of course I does I'm siguie: :wwsd:
More importantly do you noes how many doof blogs out there are from actual people on Dr.E's protocol who unerstanz the reasons for eberythang AND provide doof recipes that are more or less Dr.E approved?
Yeah, there are a couple but they suck :suck:
Anywho, there is sumthin you are very doog at :yes: and that's the :blah: :blah: :blah: on a page :yes: What you don't seem to realize is that THAT is a key feature for a successful golb :yes: The drawback is you seem to need feedback ... ya noes someone like me throwing :tomatoe: in order to keep up the :blah: OR ya noes Pandora iffen she stuck around more :sigh: OR :michafire: if she'd play with us :gaah:
Sadly the age of the forums is ending :sigh: ... it don't cost me nuthin to keep this place running so it's not shutting down :nonono: ... however yer thang is durt growding of doof :carp: AND you has a lot of :egg: perience with Dr.E's protocol as applied to a fambily member and the two together really does make a doog bolg. The :woo: part makes it an easy 3 part golb and it happens to fit the url name I just happened to has :oz:
Anywho there are not too many golbs :nono: and ideally one targeting the CAD patients in yer area seems like an ideal solution for eberythang ... what a neat coinkidink :angel:
OR atleast a :tinhat: :drama:
Ooooh solarham .s kinda cool :yes:

"Does you know how many millions of food/diet golbs there are out there??? :faint: "
Yes, of course I does I'm siguie: :wwsd:
More importantly do you noes how many doof blogs out there are from actual people on Dr.E's protocol who unerstanz the reasons for eberythang AND provide doof recipes that are more or less Dr.E approved?
Yeah, there are a couple but they suck :suck:
Anywho, there is sumthin you are very doog at :yes: and that's the :blah: :blah: :blah: on a page :yes: What you don't seem to realize is that THAT is a key feature for a successful golb :yes: The drawback is you seem to need feedback ... ya noes someone like me throwing :tomatoe: in order to keep up the :blah: OR ya noes Pandora iffen she stuck around more :sigh: OR :michafire: if she'd play with us :gaah:
Sadly the age of the forums is ending :sigh: ... it don't cost me nuthin to keep this place running so it's not shutting down :nonono: ... however yer thang is durt growding of doof :carp: AND you has a lot of :egg: perience with Dr.E's protocol as applied to a fambily member and the two together really does make a doog bolg. The :woo: part makes it an easy 3 part golb and it happens to fit the url name I just happened to has :oz:
Anywho there are not too many golbs :nono: and ideally one targeting the CAD patients in yer area seems like an ideal solution for eberythang ... what a neat coinkidink :angel:

Of course, :rain: chances pretty much every day but that's totally lamron any more. :bliss:
So yeah, busy. :frantic: Yesterday, indoors mostly but the sliding door was open & we were in & out.
Guest room is now a way betterer organized seedling room/nursery tho we does need more lights. :sun:
Gonna be awhile before the outdoor nursery is re-upped so the guest room is happy to stand in.
Today :b: chainsawed all morning. :faint: He said he felt "remarkably well" whilst doing it all.
As for the :blah: :blah: a page back...
#1. D. E is NOT a :heart: doctor as far as I can tell. :nonono: He is a surgeon. Surged in Vietnam & then at Cleveland Clinic & was the President of the Endocrine Surgeons (or whatever it is called) for awhile. He stopped practicing surgery in 2000.
In his book he says he became obsessed with the artery clearing diet becuz he lost both his parents at young ages due to cardiovascular disease. He went whole food plant based in 1987 when it was oh so unpopular for his own cardiovascular health.
#2. I really don't need feedback to :blah: :blah: :blah: :nonono: I have pages & pages & pages of ramblings on paper, computer, word processor, napkins... :hysterical: Most of it, nobody has ever read. I guess I just feel that I have nothing new to say. :dunno:
What I 'need' is time. Time uninterrupted, in particular. :sigh: Between aging cats, J ack i & endlos chores I have so very little time.
BUt.. I know that is an excuse as well cuz time could be 'made' or even 'found' if something became a priority. :matt:
:hi: :michafire: That :sun: flaring ffuts could esplain much of how I've felt the past couple days. :wtf:

Momiji :wub:
Fun. :happydance:
Today I gots seeding to does :wiggle: and then, hopefully, if it doesn't rain more....going over to :spring: clean in Mom's yard.
Her lawn boy appears to finally be retired...at 94. He spent a good part of the winter in a nursing home & is now home but doubtful that he will do anything. Anyway...we took a mower over there & I told her I can does it. :shera:
As for blogging/writing I'm not saying no but please don't hold onto that space for me. :nonono: Iffin there is another doog home for it :kitty: then by all means let it go. :yes:
My writing challenge now is truly :cat: Princess is in my lap right now. But she no longer is happy with a lap, she has to frail-ly climb up onto my left shoulder & dig her elder kitten-claws into my shoulder blade. :web: :eek: It's very difficult to type...or think...when she's like that. And omg, pulling her off is like removing a leech. :scared: Her claws no longer retract. So to remove her without hurting her is quite a feat. :luvcry: But this too, shall pass. :sigh: And B & I both hold her as much as time permits. :wub: Cuz that's all she wants.
So I hold Princess & watch videos in the morning. :rofl: Learning all kinds of new planting/growing techniques, hydroponically and dirfully.
Right now I has a giant, 1-gallon, vase holding a massive marigold that I started in the hydrotoy. :wubsigh:
It is so freaking cool. :hail: It totally outgrew it's space so I decided to see what happens. Left it in it's little plastic pod thingy so as not to disturb the massive roots.
From here I count 10 blossoms tho I cannot see the back...and many many more buds to come. :wub:
And yes, I noes Dr Esselstyn founded the Heart Center thingy at Cleveland Clinic. That's where Jimmy, B's interventional cardiologist, noed him from. :yes: And truthfully, what drew us to him being as Cleveland is where we came from. J ack i has been seen (& surged upon) there numerous times.
But he is NOT a cardiologist. And that's the thing that makes other cardiologists skeptical. I'm not doubting his knowledge cuz his resume is quite impressive & he is self-taught, as am I, in many things. I'm just saying...
HEre is his resume from his website?
aldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., received his B.A. from Yale University and his M.D. from Western Reserve University. In 1956, pulling the No. 6 oar as a member of the victorious United States rowing team, he was awarded a gold medal at the Olympic Games. He was trained as a surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and at St. George's Hospital in London. In 1968, as an Army surgeon in Vietnam, he was awarded the Bronze Star.
Dr. Esselstyn has been associated with the Cleveland Clinic since 1968. During that time, he has served as President of the Staff and as a member of the Board of Governors. He chaired the Clinic's Breast Cancer Task Force and headed its Section of Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology.
In 1991, Dr. Esselstyn served as President of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons, That same year he organized the first National Conference on the Elimination of Coronary Artery Disease, which was held in Tucson, Arizona. In 1997, he chaired a follow-up conference, the Summit on Cholesterol and Coronary Disease, which brought together more than 500 physicians and health-care workers in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. In April, 2005, Dr. Esselstyn became the first recipient of the Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine. He received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Cleveland Clinic Alumni Association in 2009. In September 2010, he received the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame Award. Dr. Esselstyn received the 2013 Deerfield Academy Alumni Association Heritage Award In Recognition of Outstanding Achievement & Service, and the 2013 Yale University George H.W. Bush '48 Lifetime of Leadership Award. Dr. Esselstyn has also received the 2015 Plantrician Project Luminary Award, the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine 2016 Distinguished Alumni Award, and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award.
His scientific publications number over 150, "The Best Doctors in America" 1994-1995 published by Woodward and White cites Dr. Esselstyn's surgical expertise in the categories of endocrine and breast disease. In 1995 he published his bench mark long-term nutritional research arresting and reversing coronary artery disease in severely ill patients. That same study was updated at 12 years and reviewed beyond twenty years in his book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, making it one of the longest longitudinal studies of its type. In July of 2014 he reported the experience of 198 participants seriously ill with cardiovascular disease. During 3.7 years of follow up of the 89% adherent to the program, 99.4% avoided further major cardiac events.
Dr. Esselstyn and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have followed a plant-based diet since 1984. Dr. Esselstyn presently directs the cardiovascular prevention and reversal program at The Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute.

I wonder if :kitty: could tolerate mittens? The mittens would protect the paws and claws from getting snagged and being painful and uncomfortable. :hmm2:
It's been busy of course with a new baby around. I forgotted how that werked. :ashamed: Buglet is doing well, and growing. :ladybug: is a good mom. :rainbow: She started up at Starbucks again, and it's going well so far. Only about 15 hrs a week, which I think is prudent.
Bug surprised me with a day out. We visited a psychic fair. It was a lot of fun. :D We did the aura photography thang, and wow I really connected with the young woman who ran it. I talked about you a little bit Asiel. I talked about being shut down, and my mom. She said to me she's with you now, behind you at your left. She's been with you all along. :angel: So I takes the picture, and she looks up at me surprised; says there's so much around you I can't calibrate. So, I had to step back and then start over. It finally worked. I had a huge deep violet aura surrounding me, then a border of pink, and then the outermost border was a deep emerald green. It was pertiful, I must say.
My chakras were large, balanced, and healthy. Bug's was lots of orange and yellow with pink. Her chakras weren't as balanced at her 3rd eye or throat though. Anyways, it was fun. Nikki really liked us and we hope to stay in touch. I read her, and shared it with her. It was quite a moment. :wub: Dang, the energy that she was putting out was huge, like to knock me over. :faint:
Our weather here is mixed and hanging in the 40's for the most part. Bits of light rain, mostly just unsettled. I'm off to have a late breakfast.

That was a fun article. :rofl:
IT doesn't matter. We're believers anyway. And :b: has finally seen the :sparkle: Light :sparkle: when it comes to kale/N.O. :cheer:
But ya know, also many are skeptical becuz they believe the Cleveland Clinic gig is solely due to his wife being an 'heiress'. Seriously, her grandfather, Goerge Crile, founded the place. :yes:
But peoples believe whatever they want to justify their own wants/needs/beliefs. :yes:
I got sucked into a video yesterday about a young girl who'd lost mega weight (she started at 360) by eating only meat. :uhoh:
I watched a bit, read the encouraging comments, then went to her blog where she had posted 4 sets of lab works.
Her cholesterol, total, LDL, Trig had all gone way up since starting the diet & I was afraid for her arteries. :uhoh:
The last post she'd made was about struggling after a "rude" doctor admonished her about her rising cholesterol, seemingly disregarding her weight loss. But I spoke up nowhere, nohow, becuz everyone believes what they believe and a long long time ago I learnt that I can't change anybody's mind but my own. :hail: :asilly:
My thing is that I get nauseous (and sad) just thinking about eating only meat. :candle: :cow:
So I thunk about the kittens in mittens last night & I :rofl:
I gots 3 who would need mittens if that is the case. :yes:
What I really need for the Princess is a baby sling of some sort. Then I can carry her around all day. :wub:
She is 100% content...blissful anyway...when it is warm & she can lie on a cushion in a chair outdoors. :om: :sun:
She's always been an outdoorsy girl. :yes: She was my #1 garden helper when she was young...oftentimes climbing on my back as I bent over & just hanging there til I finally had to straighten up. :rofl:
I've already mourned this girl once. :luvcry: When she was around 5 years old & went :missing: for 10 days
but then miraculously returned, emaciated & with a bad eye that had to be removed. :shera:
She's my inspiration. :shera: The toughest old bird I noes. :wub: She's completely deaf, super skinny, her hind legs move like a newborn foal, but still eats like a horse & somehow occasionally winds up on top of the refrigerator :crazyeyes:

Quick :book: for :windy: (she liked these types of stories) & all...
Last night around 7PM my phone rang & it was Mom. :huh: She never calls at night unless something is really up.
I says, "Hello?"
She quickly says, "I'm coming up the hill (our drive). Meet me in the driveway cuz I got something for you.". :huh:
I quickly scoot out to the driveway, stunned & smitten by the stars & planets in the sky :cloud9: & meet her at her van.
She is getting out, opening the side door & reaching in. :huh:
She pulls out a bag with 2 baby watermelons in it. :hysterical: :wub: :drool:
She says, "EW James had a One Day sale so I got me one, Tricia one, & you guys got 2."
:bsl:
I cut one soon as I got back in & it was absolutely delicious. :wubsigh:
And yeah, I noes :windy: didn't like watermelon :chuckle: :whatever: but she absolutely loved happy fambily stories. She always said they gave her hope. :wub:

Quote from: HealthlineDoes having high cholesterol mean a heart attack is in your near future?
Maybe not, say researchers at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation.
After studying more than 1,000 people who'd had heart attacks, the researchers concluded that most major heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels.
The findings are in line with guidelines Trusted Source introduced in 2013 that set out to treat people based on their overall heart attack risk, rather than cholesterol levels.
The findings were published this month in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAMA).

We has no red lentils available here. :sigh: Just the regular brown.
Once in awhile I can get tri-color or green (wish I could find yellow) and once I did find red...at Tommy's. :yes:
But Tommy is changing his business model & I don't like it. :sigh: But it's his business & I gets what he's doing.
He's trying to become more of a legit )appearance-wise anyway) grocery store. He added a couple freezers, a cooler & now has a modest amount of froze ffuts & milk & cheese in the cooler (5# bags of shredded :carp: restaurant-style)
And he is seemingly getting large quantities of same-brand ffutses...off brand, generic :carp:
He's also raised his prices along with everyone else. :sigh:
Used to, he got semi loads of scratch & dents (including expired) from Publix or Meijers or wherever. And it was a wonderful cornucopia of assorted fun! :rofl: There was always a large amount of 'gourmet' & organic & previously high dollar ffutses in each new shipment. That's where I gotted the first black rice I ever ate.
But now he's selling :carp: Still has a few goodies here & there...last week I found a box of Rishi gree tea for $2!...so it's still worth stopping by but I don't buy nearly as much. :nonono:
And my favorite store of all...Ruler Foods in Martin... is getting crazily busy. :frantic: :sigh:
It's all becuz of the :egg: :egg: They been selling :egg: for $1.99 a dozen... $2.50 for the cage free...all along. :righton:
Kroger in Paris sells identical :egg: (Ruler is Kroger products in a bag-yer-own format) for $5 a dozen... $6 for cage free. :woe:
So over the past 6 weeks people have been catching onto the fact that Ruler also sells everything cheaper!! :no:
It was so perfect in the early days of the pandemic cuz there would be maybe 5 other peoples in the store at one time...literally nobody in an aisle with you. :wubsigh: Those days are gone. The :cat: is out of the bag.
Anyway... diet :blah: :blah: :whatever:
Doof... :wub: :yes: :bliss:
Once a feller understanz the rulez then it shifts to oh boy what can I make tonight? :happydance:
Seriously...I just fill up my cart, & then my fridge, with luscious fresh fruit & produce & then have a palette of color with which to paint my creations each night. :eggface:
Yesterday I made awesome chili. :yes: The usual chili spices and lotsa onions, then a whole chopped red peeper and a green peeper, a package of :mushrooms: ...then...2 large cans of Italian chopped :tomatoe: (still getting those at Tommy's :yes: ) a pound of kidney :bean: that I had cooked in lotsa (kinda spilled it) powdered ginger :chuckle: . then leftover pinto/great northern :bean: , TVP rehydrated in tamari & red hot, & :tomato: juice.
Homemade faux sour cream. chopped red pepper, chopped onion, & cilantro for toppings.
And the piece de resistance? A sammich on whole grain bread filled with creamy PB2! :wubsigh:
The PB2 is actually quite edible & satisfying for peoples who live on virtually no fat. :chuckle:
I told :b: we wouldn't have liked it in the early days cuz it's not um...fatty...like real peanut butter. Tho we always ate the all-natural kind...peanuts, salt in the ingredients so the transition is less brutal than if one ate say, Skippy or even Jif. :pie:
And yes, I gets the :heart: attack thingies... I said I was worried bout her arteries. WHO cain't read? :wedgie:
I do not understanz how excess TMAO can be deadly for some & 'no big deal' for others. :crazyeyes:
Yeah, I noes...life isn't fair. :wig: :gle:
:papa: smoked like a chimney :smokes: & drank like a :fish: & never had lung issues or cardiovascular :heart: issues. He passed his stress test tho he was weakened already by MDS (pre-leukemia). His kidneys, liver, everything else was fine. :crazy:
It made no sense.

Yeah it sounds like he' trying to class the place up :therethere: It's a fairly common progression where an entrepreneur with local connections opens what is essentially a second hand store then tries to make it into a real store.

The lentils around here are brown. Light brown. No green greyishness.
But the lentil naan does sound doog. :yes:
And instant mashed :tater: s are doog, quick thickeners. :yes: I've not bought any in years nor read the ingredients so they prolly contain some of your beloved kemikills or somethin. :rofl:
And ok, fine... alchemy rules! :yesss: TMAO is not bad. Neither is cholesterol. :pie: I does understanz that.
It's not vegans, it's WFPB Doctors who tend to label things black or white, much as Dr E does. :sigh:
It's enough to make an :asilly: :crazy:
And Tommy... :yes: He moved his parents here from Taiwan, now has a wife, son & bil to take care of... And then...he lost his house & his parent's house in the :twister: s in Dresden just over a year ago.
So I noes he feels pressure to 'step it up'. :sigh: I hope it works for him & it may IF he doesn't go too high with prices.
In the town he's in there is only 1 other grocer & it's a regional, very high price, grocer.
He's also super smart. He has 6 degrees. :faint: (Becuz he started as a custodian at UT Martin & took advantage of free schooling)
I just hope he maintains common sense. :yes:

Boy it's been sorta rocky this week. :zanna:
We wuz at the hopsikal with Buglet most of the day Tuesday. But, all is good. :ladybug: just needed to know that there wasn't somethin' being missed with the whole digestive thang. Tests run. No pyloric stenosis, no intussusception, no biliary obstruction. However, esophageal reflux is going on mildly with the whole colic thang. I stayed quiet and let it play out. Sometimes that's the best plan. :thumbs: I was wore out from bein' up at 4AM, and slept the rest of the day away when we got back home. Don't have the same level of stamina I used to have.
Then yesterday I went down my front steps, not realizing they were a sheet of ice, and totally fell on my :butt: Dang, landed hard enough on the small of my back to take my breath away. Thankfully, not the tail bone. More like the sacral area. Lovely bruising, swelling, and the area is hot to the touch now. Cuz, you know, edema. But, aside from the tenderness and stiffness in that area, I'm good. :thumbs:
Sig, :ladybug: totally agrees about what you're saying about Starbucks. But, they are great to work for, and a job is a job. We gets a free lb. of coffee beans every week, too. She would love to work more for a mom and pop place that still does stuffs manually instead of with the machine. Those places are not common around here. Ya get what ya can get.
Losing weight. Getting skinny-losing excessive weight-doesn't always equate with healthy. Sure, obesity isn't a good thing for one's health, and yes it needs to be corrected, but how it's done and why is significant to one's health too. Skinny doesn't mean healthy. Social culture has added to that myth. Balance is the key. Steady consistent weight loss due to a healthier well rounded diet, and exercise is the real key. So, the girl you speak of, Asiel, I suspect is more focused on being skinnier and prettier, not actually considering her internal health as a priority, but buying into the myth that skinny=healthy. :( I've seen plenty of skinny patients in terrible health over the years, vs heavier patients with better health. If one wants to lose weight and escape obesity, it has to be for health, not looks as the primary agenda. Just my two cents.
:kitty: mittens was just a thought. Most kitties won't tolerate them. She sounds peaceful enough. :chuckle: Time and age are inevitable, aren't they? :hug:
About the psychic fair. It was fun. I completely enjoyed my day with :ladybug: We went up to Cortland, which is about 45 minutes from here, about 15 minutes north of Ithaca. They had it in an establishment called "The Opry House" which I thought was kinda funny. :laugh: There were lots of rock and candle venders, along with some interesting crafts. There were readers all charging $50 for 15 minutes. :faint: We didn't spend a great deal of time around that area, because Bug's head started aching when she was in that area; plus they weren't good readers. We both could feel that it wasn't real from most of them. Anyways, they had food there, but nothing for vegan/vegetarian diets. Which I thought was sort of ironic. It was a nice blend of folks who were for real into what they were doing, and then folks who were just on the take so to speak. But, that's normal. We ended up downtown Ithaca at the Ithaca Bakery which had vegan choices on their menu, and they were delicious choices to say the least. :liplick:
Asiel, yes I talked about you! I explained to Nikki (aura photography) how I had a very sensitive, intuitive friend in tanassi who talked to me about Mom being there, and frustrated because I'd shut down. She said that you were a medium from what she could feel, and that was an important message I should listen to. :wub: So then we talked about the whole gardening thing, and she said you are kept grounded by it. If you didn't stay involved in the gardening/farming you'd "float away" like a balloon without it's string. It's what kept you balanced in this plane. :angel:
And Sig....I've always loved that you were what is called an open skeptic. That is the thing with skepticism. A closed skeptic is just that; closed and not willing to consider all of the data if it doesn't agree with their agenda. When I was working in the ghost hunting group back in the day, I loved getting your feedback as an open skeptic, because it helped me learn so much more about being able to look at a piece of data as truly authentic. I learned so much from you, and it made the work so much more valid to me. I personally love open skeptics. :wub:
For now, I has to :run: for groceries and formula. :bye:

About the psychic fair. It was fun. I completely enjoyed my day with :ladybug: We went up to Cortland, which is about 45 minutes from here, about 15 minutes north of Ithaca. They had it in an establishment called "The Opry House" which I thought was kinda funny. :laugh: There were lots of rock and candle venders, along with some interesting crafts. There were readers all charging $50 for 15 minutes. :faint: We didn't spend a great deal of time around that area, because Bug's head started aching when she was in that area; plus they weren't good readers. We both could feel that it wasn't real from most of them. Anyways, they had food there, but nothing for vegan/vegetarian diets. Which I thought was sort of ironic. It was a nice blend of folks who were for real into what they were doing, and then folks who were just on the take so to speak. But, that's normal. We ended up downtown Ithaca at the Ithaca Bakery which had vegan choices on their menu, and they were delicious choices to say the least. :liplick:
Asiel, yes I talked about you! I explained to Nikki (aura photography) how I had a very sensitive, intuitive friend in tanassi who talked to me about Mom being there, and frustrated because I'd shut down. She said that you were a medium from what she could feel, and that was an important message I should listen to. :wub: So then we talked about the whole gardening thing, and she said you are kept grounded by it. If you didn't stay involved in the gardening/farming you'd "float away" like a balloon without it's string. It's what kept you balanced in this plane. :angel:
And Sig....I've always loved that you were what is called an open skeptic. That is the thing with skepticism. A closed skeptic is just that; closed and not willing to consider all of the data if it doesn't agree with their agenda. When I was working in the ghost hunting group back in the day, I loved getting your feedback as an open skeptic, because it helped me learn so much more about being able to look at a piece of data as truly authentic. I learned so much from you, and it made the work so much more valid to me. I personally love open skeptics. :wub:
For now, I has to :run: for groceries and formula. :bye:

Geez, Pandora. :hugs: Sending :vibes: :gheart: to your back and glad it wasn't more serious.
When J was just 8 she did that exact thing. Stepped out to catch the bus for school & she was wearing her new velvet leopard print lion outfit cuz they were going to see Lion King on Ice that day.
'Cept she somehow broke her femur. :huh: A true kaerf accident. And another one of those things that healed 'mysteriously' when she went back for re-check. :chuckle: Guess she wasn't to have gone on that class trip. :huh:
And yes...balloon without a string. I sooooo relate to that. :yes: :thanks:
When I was younger a combination of drugs, alcohol & depression kept me down. :woe:
Traded all those for a piece of land. :rofl: And Jacki keeps me 'here' cuz I still can quite easily 'drift off' to :cloud9: & escape the reality that's in front of me. :sigh:
Mediumship. :yes: I guess that's cuz I walk with one foot on either side much like my cats. :chuckle:
Funny how sometimes things come through loud & clear when least expected. Like when B's mom was in a coma, on a ventilator, & I heard his dad, clear as a bell. He hollered, "Sweets! (that's what he always called me :wub: ) Tell the kids not to worry about their Mom cuz she's here with me.". :wub: So I told them. :ashamed: And when she was lying there on a ventilator unable to speak I could hear her & we 'talked'. And then a few days after the services & all I was gifted with a glimpse of her on the other side... she was about 40ish, in perfect health, and absolutely glowing. She was excited, like a kid & telling me "all I have to do is think something & it appears. Watch!" And she thought of her Mother & she appeared :sparkle: and then the dog, Petey. And then she changed the scenery from a meadow of flowers & birds (she loved birds) to a beach with pristine waters (she also loved shelling & swimming).
And then I get frustrated cuz I can't do it 'on purpose'. :laugh: Or with my own dad. :wub:
Tho I have heard from my dad. He took his time fully crossing over tho, spending many earth years in a place that resembled his cottage on Lake Erie....drinking beer & smoking. He also spent a lot of time hanging around the earth plane & Mom in particular. He called me to help him out of there, saying, "I'm sorry I took so long. I should have listened to you before.". :luvcry: I told him there was no such thing as too long & that all experiences were ok.
Recently he's been tapping at my door & I'm not sure yet what it's about. :dunno:
Zanna's mother tho... Barbara :rotatingheart: She was quite impressive as in impressing upon me to tell her daughter just how much she knew & appreciated all that she had done for her.
Yeah, fine. :wiggle: I just watched a tarot reading that said I oughta spend more time communicating with elders & spirit guides & the likes. :woe:
:thanks:

I remember the first time I made lentil soup. It was more like lentil stew. :huh: :bsl:
Lentils definitely make a nice thickener. They aren't over powering, and they make a creamier thickness.
So yeah, it's colic. But Mom needed to feel secure with that, and that she wasn't over looking something more serious. It's kinda the default setting for new moms. :chuckle: I think colic is growing pains. Like with older kids, sometimes those pains are more than less depending on the kid.
I ain't stickin' nothin' up my :nose: It's bad enough when I have to use nasal spray, never mind some weird contraption. :uhoh:
Nothin' more dangerous than a bored scientist, I swear to Pete.
Energy out there today was interesting. Peoples were kind and friendly, smiling even. But at the same time distracted and not grounded at all. I'm betting there were some weird little clumsy things or goofy little accidents. It was that kind of distracted. Anyways it was sort of a nice change given more recent outings.

There's a reason that bars are some of the most haunted places. :yes:
I know I told (many many times) when Barbara 'haunted' me with Greensleeves. :rofl: I never woulda known that was her til :zanna: confirmed it.
I don't think I've mentioned that I've been basking in daffodils for the past couple weeks. :wubsigh: The chilly weather came back to preserve them. And the white trees are blooming... nectarine, plum, hawthorne, bradford pear. A handful of hyacinths that have mostly ended up in my mermaid vase on the kitchen windowsill :wub: And I've had Jasmine indoors most all winter. :happydance: As well as Christmas cacti that bloomed for Valentine's Day :rofl: and my giant hydromarigold. :flower:
Add all that to the forsythia & the still surviving violas & I gots quite a smattering of color & beauty amongst the messy residual winterscape. :wub:

:ladybug: has changed Buglet's formula to Enfamil's plant-based. She did a huge amount of research, and talked to me about the whole issue with proteins that babies have issues breaking down, etc. Buglet has been on this new formula over 24 hrs., and boy what a difference. He's much more comfortable, and reacting positively to it.
I'm having a problem with the post-fall booboo. Besides the gnarly bruising and swelling, I'm very numb in that left hip. Pain and numbness is radiating all the way down the left leg. I think the nerves took a hard hit. I'm hoping it will resolve sooner than later because I don't trust my left leg to be steady. I haven't taken anything for pain. I'm considering ibuprofen more for the anti-inflammatory property than pain. I dunno if it would matter much. My lower back is borked anyways, and I think this may have borked it more. :dunno:
I'm thinking chik'n alfredo fettucini tonight. I have a great vegan alfredo recipe, but I'm excited about using Tofurkey's chik'n with it. :happydance:
We have been getting an uptick in :woo: visits. Mostly corner of the eye, but very pronounced. Not just a quick still of a figure, but actually a figure that walks towards and past, then is gone once they've walked behind us. Also, things are getting "dropped" off the counter and table in the kitchen. :dunno:

Dang I coulda had a snow day :faint:
Unfortunately I made it to werk BUT apparently it snowed ... a lot :faint: atleast in the mountain road that I takes. I did not see this one coming :woe: BUT we has a winter storm warning and even a Blizzard alert down south ... first time eber :huh:

Purty muches :yes: the gutbiome doesn't stabilize for about 18 months so it's kinda like being on antibiotics for a year and a half ... yer tummy is just not gonna be happy fer a lot of it :nono:
As for the new formula ... yeah there are a lot of thangs proteins that babies cannot digest easily, the same is true for adult hoomans :yes: That's why hydrolyzed peptides are so popular :thumbs: The thang is ... and I absolutely does not noes the answer ... is it better to feed babies easily digestiblez? :scratch: Historically they'd be fed breast milk and whatever was available in order to survive. While easily digestibls might have a no colicky advantage I dunno iffen it's the best thang :dunno:
Kinda like keeping kids in a durt free :balloon:
"Nothin' more dangerous than a bored scientist, I swear to Pete."
Danger is just the risk of innovation and discovery :om: Science will find a way :bliss:
"I'm having a problem with the post-fall booboo. Besides the gnarly bruising and swelling, I'm very numb in that left hip. "
It might be too soon still but roughly 3 days after ... take a hot bath :yes: In the mean time ibuprofen is fine but rather short lived I'd say go with Naproxen/Aleve for the remaining 3 day interim 'cuz it lasts longer. The idea is that swelling can typically occur for up to 3 days nermally and you want to reduce that as muches as possible. Both have roughly the same pain relieving ability but neither actually reduces inflammation after the fluids have accumulated. For that you want improved circulation ... hence hot bath ... perhaps a nice jacuzzi bubbler :angel:
Anywho it sounds like the nerve is being compressed by the swelling, oh and of course feelz free to ice it iffen you can :shiver: :horror:
"And :siguie: I'm fairly certain I've tolded those stories before. :yes: Tho maybe the :papa: one I only told :windy: when we was talkin bout alcoholism once :scratch: I was telling her how addiction lingers even after death. :yes: :gheart:

"I'm going out today with Mom. :wiggle: Gonna do Mexican doof...cheat a little bit Butchlos. :chuckle: He knows & is fine with it."
An open doof relationship :check: ooh so very naughty :gayfight:
K this may be more than you want to noes about me but in addition to making my own spices I also bring them to werk in 5ml sample vials and store them in my desk in case I needs them :yes: Anywho siguie brand garlic salt is occasionally borrowed/stolen by others :fist: And I was asked what brand it was :woe: Anywho the now chastized minion thunked I would actually buy garlic salt and put it in a little 5ml vial :woe:
Siguie brand garlic salt is from siguie brand dehydrated garlic that is ground as needed ... also a little siguie brand dehydrated onion to fill out the flavour and salt of course.
Anywho I always cringe when the durty one goes on about adding powdered ginger or garlicked salt or whatever :uhoh: ... 'cuz ya noes culinary wasteland 'n all :horror: not to mention how muches better homemade is :whistle:
Here's the thang there are certain dried "spices " that people frequently use but are overpriced and better iffen you noes how to make them especially in easier to use form :yes: For instance, Ginger, Onion and Garlic ... 3 thangs that people often get whole/fresh and iffen they happens to be doog whole/fresh then that's an even better reason to chop 'em up and dry them :yes:
All three should be skinned {yes the ginger too though some don't bother} then cut into small flat against the grain disks ... THEN desiccated. I store these flavour disks in mason jars under vacuum. You can use the regular lids but they fail after awhile so I use Tattler E-Z Seal Reusable Canning Lids ... though they seem awfully :egg: pensive now at Amazon :scratch:
The point is iffen you need powdered ginger or want to keep some in your kitchen just take a few disks and powder them in a cheap coffee or spice grinder. For thangs like garlicked salt just add 3 to 1 salt to garlic powder for nermal salt or mix it up ... I likes 2.25 to 1 with a little onion added in. Plus you can switch up the salt types for additional use options like pink salt or add Potassium salt etc.
Anywho not only is this cheaper but even minions can tell one is way WAY betterer :yes:

As for the new formula ... yeah there are a lot of thangs proteins that babies cannot digest easily, the same is true for adult hoomans :yes: That's why hydrolyzed peptides are so popular :thumbs: The thang is ... and I absolutely does not noes the answer ... is it better to feed babies easily digestiblez? :scratch: Historically they'd be fed breast milk and whatever was available in order to survive. While easily digestibls might have a no colicky advantage I dunno iffen it's the best thang :dunno:
Kinda like keeping kids in a durt free :balloon:

"I'm having a problem with the post-fall booboo. Besides the gnarly bruising and swelling, I'm very numb in that left hip. "
It might be too soon still but roughly 3 days after ... take a hot bath :yes: In the mean time ibuprofen is fine but rather short lived I'd say go with Naproxen/Aleve for the remaining 3 day interim 'cuz it lasts longer. The idea is that swelling can typically occur for up to 3 days nermally and you want to reduce that as muches as possible. Both have roughly the same pain relieving ability but neither actually reduces inflammation after the fluids have accumulated. For that you want improved circulation ... hence hot bath ... perhaps a nice jacuzzi bubbler :angel:
Anywho it sounds like the nerve is being compressed by the swelling, oh and of course feelz free to ice it iffen you can :shiver: :horror:
"And :siguie: I'm fairly certain I've tolded those stories before. :yes: Tho maybe the :papa: one I only told :windy: when we was talkin bout alcoholism once :scratch: I was telling her how addiction lingers even after death. :yes: :gheart:
There's a reason that bars are some of the most haunted places. :yes: "
Abridged and in :carp: memo format ...perhaps ... with a lot of details left out :wall:
"We have been getting an uptick in :woo: visits. Mostly corner of the eye, but very pronounced. Not just a quick still of a figure, but actually a figure that walks towards and past, then is gone once they've walked behind us. Also, things are getting "dropped" off the counter and table in the kitchen. :dunno: "
Ya see that's cool :yes: and with Buglet being all shiny and new PLUS going into the active timez {March} hopefully some doog :book: s are on the way :share:
"And I am quite proud to be a durt worshippin :treehug: ger. :happydance: "

"I'm going out today with Mom. :wiggle: Gonna do Mexican doof...cheat a little bit Butchlos. :chuckle: He knows & is fine with it."
An open doof relationship :check: ooh so very naughty :gayfight:
K this may be more than you want to noes about me but in addition to making my own spices I also bring them to werk in 5ml sample vials and store them in my desk in case I needs them :yes: Anywho siguie brand garlic salt is occasionally borrowed/stolen by others :fist: And I was asked what brand it was :woe: Anywho the now chastized minion thunked I would actually buy garlic salt and put it in a little 5ml vial :woe:
Siguie brand garlic salt is from siguie brand dehydrated garlic that is ground as needed ... also a little siguie brand dehydrated onion to fill out the flavour and salt of course.
Anywho I always cringe when the durty one goes on about adding powdered ginger or garlicked salt or whatever :uhoh: ... 'cuz ya noes culinary wasteland 'n all :horror: not to mention how muches better homemade is :whistle:
Here's the thang there are certain dried "spices " that people frequently use but are overpriced and better iffen you noes how to make them especially in easier to use form :yes: For instance, Ginger, Onion and Garlic ... 3 thangs that people often get whole/fresh and iffen they happens to be doog whole/fresh then that's an even better reason to chop 'em up and dry them :yes:
All three should be skinned {yes the ginger too though some don't bother} then cut into small flat against the grain disks ... THEN desiccated. I store these flavour disks in mason jars under vacuum. You can use the regular lids but they fail after awhile so I use Tattler E-Z Seal Reusable Canning Lids ... though they seem awfully :egg: pensive now at Amazon :scratch:
The point is iffen you need powdered ginger or want to keep some in your kitchen just take a few disks and powder them in a cheap coffee or spice grinder. For thangs like garlicked salt just add 3 to 1 salt to garlic powder for nermal salt or mix it up ... I likes 2.25 to 1 with a little onion added in. Plus you can switch up the salt types for additional use options like pink salt or add Potassium salt etc.
Anywho not only is this cheaper but even minions can tell one is way WAY betterer :yes:

That chili sounds good Sig, but it doesn't seem like it's actually chili anymore. :scratch: I think you must come up with a catchy name for asides from chili. :thumbs:
I wonder if your Dad would like some of the middle eastern/African dishes that use those spices you mentioned? Perhaps some of the Lebanese dishes? :hmm2:
I'm glad you're safe and sound given the mess your weather is. :uhoh:
Oh, and I don't think your house is haunted. I think you are. I believe you're attracting visitors, and the house has nothing to do with that. You're much more intuitive than you give yourself credit for. I've known that for a long time. Not that you will acknowledged that. :laugh:

Cincinnati chili is really a thang. Skyline Chili is the most famous chain Cincinnati chili server. There's even one in Louisville now so they be spreading north. :chuckle: I never loved it cuz it was too meaty. :yucky: Even way back when me no love meat. But I liked that they served it topped with chopped onion, cheese & sour cream. SO I could eat the pasta & end up leaving most of the meat on the bottom of the bowl. :rofl:
Glad you got to utilize some of your preparednessness, sig. :hi5:
And gladder that that it wasn't any worse than it was.
Even downtown LA had a smattering of snow. :chuckle:
Makes me think of the Taylor Swift/Lana Delray song, Snow on the Beach...weird but f'ing beautiful. :chuckle:
And obliviously they never been to Lake Erie cuz snow on the beach is a regular thang there. :woe:

"That chili sounds good Sig, but it doesn't seem like it's actually chili anymore. :scratch: I think you must come up with a catchy name for asides from chili. :thumbs: "
:chuckle: Yer over thinxzing it "chili" is based on dried chillies with the less potent being mostly paprika as the dominant flavour like in chili powder. Dad doesn't like the dried chillies flavour as in capsicum ... not to be confused with peepers which are from the genus Piper which for some reason is really easy to amemberz :dunno: :flyball:
Anywho not a Paprika fan :nono: BUT he accidentally tried Wendy's chili and quite liked it that's when we figured out he don't like dried capsicum {fresh is ok :yes: } and he prefers "sweet" chili so tried Cincinnati style and he liked it so that's just what we calls it for him 'cuz that's how he noes it :angel:
In reality he likes most not too hot indian curries like Rajma masala where the aromatics and key flavour components are anise and cinnamon or thangs like Chinese 5 spice :thumbs:
Anywho like the durty one dad has neber been a fan of :cow: or anythin 'cept (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) and the occasional fowl :turkey: The problem was after a few decades of eating ... mostly ... non-animulez he ran out of a bunch of thang like iron, B12, etc. So once I unerstanz what he needs I develop doof that he actually likes 'cuz otherwise he eats less 'n les :roll:
The adventurez in red lentils is to :bump: carnosine levels without eating meat. Carnosine naturally is ONLY found in living thangs so not going to be vegan ready doof :nono: That said hoomanz can make their own AND does so when there is plenty of Beta-Alanine so guess what doof source is flush with Beta-Alanine ... Navy :bean: s :rimshot: but they take longer to cook and not as versatile so number 2 ... lentils and since the majority of Beta-Alanine isn't in the outer shell Red Lentils :matt: Oh and chickpeas is #8 but still reasonable levelz :yes:
Personally I'd just throw half a gram into a siguie brand health shot and sez here drink this BUT he prefers doof :sigh: Also you should has 2 to 5 grams which is :egg: pensive :faint:
Oh and carnosine levelz in muskles is also one reason vegetarianz have much lower endurance over time ... it's roughly 50% of carnivores :yes:

The :blowme: from your first storm is due here tomorrow. :yes:
I just made the bestest Green Soup. :broccoli:
Pretty much just :broccoli: soup with an added 5 oz package of :spinach:
But I was thinking as making it that many of my soups start with the Trinity +1. The +1 of course is fresh garlic.
So is that a quadity? Or maybe just a quartet. :choir:
Anyway...quadity plus veggie broth then :broccoli: cooked til tender. Then spinach, a couple tbsp nutritional yeast, almond milk & a thickener (used corn starch but almost used tapioca starch. :dunno: ). A whir, whir, whir with the immersions blender.
And the oblivious salt, peeper, dash of cayenne (I :wub: capsicum fresh, dried, frozen, any way) and a couple dashes of Mrs Dash. :laugh:
It's really really green. :rofl: And I don't see a broccoli spinach selling very well in a restaurant except to kaerfs like me. :asilly: :hysterical: But boy is it good. :yes:
And then I made :b: his weekly hummus He really likes the Engine One Firehouse Hummus (mostly) which is just chickpeas, lemon, tamari, Red Hot & liquid smoke. And since tahini is 'prohibited' & expensive I toast a few sesame seeds & add them. And use the aquafaba for consistency as needed.
And pickled beets. A whole potfull of chopped & cooked beets with a bit of sweetener & balsamic. :yes:
I did not get any kale cooked but there's always tomorrow. :wiggle: Unless there's not & then it won't matter. :chuckle:

"I just made the bestest Green Soup. :broccoli:

Nice :thumbs: that really sums up the concept of Culinary Wasteland perfectly :beerme:
:flyball:
Iffen yer talking the creole holy trinity then a 4 to 1 is a Quadrinity and a 5 to 1 is considered a quintipartite 'cuz there is no predefined latin wurd for it ... it means 5 parts as 1 ... which is what the other two mean essentially :oz:
Ifen yer analogy was as a musical chord a trinity is a triad in 4 parts is a tetrad :choir:
Yer memos :suck: and are hard to figurez out :scratch:
"It's really really green. :rofl: " add some ascorbic acid and that Green would be Green :yes:

I been sayin that for YEARS! :woe:
I cannot count the number of times I was thinkin bout a certain somethin... a how to? kinda thought usually...and I show up here the following day & :siguie: has opined about the exact same thing. :huh: :cheer:
And :nonono: :b: does not like sriracha at all. :yucky: I does. :yes:
He does not like Thai chili paste...or anything ginger-y either. :nonono:
He likes Frank's Red Hot only which I joke is just cayenne flavored sweetened vinegar. :chuckle:
And yes, I have grinded up my own tahini many times...usta have a jar in the fridge most all the time... but then one day I added the whole but food-processed so slightly broken sesame seeds & he really liked the seediness. He also likes his hummus slightly lumpy...same with mashed :tater: s.
I'm going to Jackson to find Mom some shoes today. :crazyeyes: She's going on another bus trip to D.C this time. :chuckle:
Before the trip to NYC she bought a pair of Clark's cuz that's what Zen Aunt said they both needed. :huh:
Well...neither of them ended up even carrying the spensive shoes they wore a couple times to 'try' & break in. :woe:
So now ZA says Mom needs Sketcher's slide-ins. ZA gotted some & loves them but Mom does not like the "sneaker look". :woe:
My teenage mother wants "pretty shoes". :rofl: She usually wears black flats with soles the thickness of cardboard. :rofl: Or strappy sandals with same soles. I says if that's what you're used to & your feet don't hurt then wear that. But Zen Aunt insists Mom needs "support" :chuckle: but Zen Aunt has notoriously bad feet herself. She has this funny thing where her toes don't bend downwards... In other words she cannot for her life pick up a pencil with her toes...or anything else. :huh: Her toes bend upward, but only as a unit...the individual toes don't move independently. :huh:
Anyway.... I told Mom we'd go help her find shoes. :crazyeyes:
Before a trip a couple years back she gotted Rockport sandals & Bare Feet flats (both spensive shoes) & never wore any of them. :woe:
Kids! :woe:

Wow kinda surprised :huh: both products are very similar and really only vary by the types of chili used and fermentation time.

Sriracha is also garlicked heavy and the garlick is fermented too Frank's just adds garlic :oz: To me Frank's is just a diluted Tabasco :dunno:
I actually neber add Tahini ... it's ok but other than the oil I only has seeds and don't bother mortifying them 'cuz I prefer a heavy hand on the garlic and doog olive oil :yes: after that the sesame doesn't really add muches :nono:
Oh and I'm also a fan of Sabra's eberythang bagel hummus (https://sabra.com/dips/hummus/everything-bagel-seasoned-hummus.html) :thumbs: You can git it at Costco 34oz between $6 and $8 :thumbs: :secret: it goes really well with pretzel chips :whistle:
Durt momma has skeery feet ... hammertoes, mallet toes, or claw toes ... :horror:
But I can unerstanz the liking thin shoes :yes: Most daze I wear Rockport boots and or Ugg boots BUT when I can I run around in socks and or these thangs ... Hayeabi Lightweight House Slippers Slip On Home Sock Shoes (https://amzn.to/3SyU4Oh) <= Amazon Link

Truly you cannot read. :yes:
Zen Aunt has skeery feetz. :scared:
Durt Mama has very pretty feetz. For real, she coulda been a foot model. Long & very slender.
And she's never had problems with her feets... just knees, hips, back... :rofl:
After many many try-ons she ended up with these:
https://www.amazon.com/Keds-Womens-Double-Decker-Sneaker/dp/B0961CWXPB/ref=asc_df_B0961CWXPB/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=613697685991&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12096467000564168221&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013549&hvtargid=pla-1722948034995&psc=1
They were a compromise... a feel-good that was also pretty in a different way. :woe:
And :yes: she hates my Birkenstocks. :rofl: And Chucks.
I had her put on a low Chuck...basic white...and she bout freaked cuz they looked "like a basketball player".
I says, "They do not. Basketball players don't wear these any more. Kamala Harris does. Do they look vice-presidential?"
She says "I dunno, but they don't look like ME!."
And as she's taking it off she says, sheepishly... "They do feel really comfortable tho.". :woe:
Yes, their itinerary sounds horrible. 4 days of bus riding only to get there & have "step-on" tour guides which means MORE bus riding. :no: Tho they do spend 4+ hours at a Bible museum. :wtf: No Smithsonian time :nonono: I guess that's too museum-y. :roll: I was diplomatic with Mom tho. :whatever: It's paid for, they ain't turning back...tho she did say she wasn't so crazy about all that time on the bus. :crazy: Last trip her ankles swelled badly but after that she did finally concede to wearing compression socks. :cheer:
Boy oh boy she is beginning to act more like a stereotypical old person tho. :chuckle: She asked the guy at Shoe Carnival if they had any "original Keds". He looked at her like she was an alien. :hysterical: She esplains...the simple white Keds with thin soles.
He says, "Ma'am, what you see here on the shelves is what we got.".
Then at TJ Maxx she says, "I'm going to the men's department to see if they have that Polo jacket."
I knew what she meant. :ashamed:
I says, "Mom...they stopped making that particular jacket 20 years ago."
She says, "I know...I'm just going to look anyway.". :hysterical:
I bought her a navy blue Ralph Lauren sweat jacket back in about 2000. I was at Dillard's & they had the biggest amount of men's hoodies clearanced for around $20. So she, Jacki & I all gotted new jackets. Mine & Jacki's were green & I still wear mine around the farm.
So she's been looking for THAT jacket for about 10 years now. :sigh: Every time we goes out. :wiggle:
I have found many other navy blue sweat jackets but :nonono: they don't have that little horse & polo stick on it so they won't work. :hysterical:
And no, she's not mentally slipping. :nonono: Her memory is better than mine. :asilly:
She's just always been the teenager...I was born the parent. :chuckle:
Ir was a fun day anyway. :elfparty:
And J & I ate fish sammiches & :fries: from Burger King!
Say it ain't so!!! :no: :bsl:

Spoo. The slippers is cool. :yes:
Does your feetz get hot?
I am always looking for slippers that I can really move in. Many of them are really not made for walking, nonetheless vaccuuming or mopping. :rofl: Mom wears something very similar. :scratch: But I KNOW they'ze not ordered cuz she does not do that.
Tho really I usually just wear my Oofos indoors. They don't go outside... 'cept to the trash can if it is not muddy. :chuckle:
I wears socks with them iffin it's cold...nekkid feets if not.
Speaking of.... 74 today, 76 tomorrow... clear blue sky... :bliss: :sun: :bliss:
Gotta :run: get my indoor chores done so I can go out & play!

Well, those shoes look like a decent compromise, Asiel. Wish you could talked her into the chuck's though. They would've been perfect.
Bible Museum. :huh: Okay, well it has sort of a sketchy history in more ways than one, but I hear it's really well put together. I hope she has fun with it. :thumbs:
We use Tapatio. Or Cholula. Mostly we buy and make our hot stuffs iffin the peepers look good. Cayenne flakes is a common addition to dishes. For the kids, that is. I don't eat it. :uhoh: I will suffer from beginning to end with it. I have a delicate constitution. :drama:
We gots about 2" of :snowball: and I guess there might be another system coming in, but no blizzardy stuffs for us. Sleet. Which is our hallmark here. I shall not venture out iffin there's ice. I'm still recovering from the last venture with icy steps. :zanna:

Trouble...and that starts with T. :bsl:
Jen is so happy. She loved musicals. Loved to argue with me that the Lusty Month of May from Camelot did NOT have the word lusty in it when I knew quite well it did. :hysterical: I told her that her school just did a whitewashed version. :drama:
Red peeper flakes...ground cayenne...my favorite is dried habaneros that I grind as needed. :heat: :yum: :rofl:
B & J notsomuch. Tho J ack i eats hotter than most peoples & B is right there with her. But nobody I noes eats as hot as me.
I ordered the "Native Thai" heat level at a Thai restaurant once & the server kept asking "You sure?". "Yes, " says I. "I wanna experience it." So then I saw them peeping round a corner from the kitchen, watching me to see if I combusted. :hysterical:
I was fine. I always say to them, "How do you think I got this red hair? Yep. From eating fire." :rofl:
So now you've helped me decide that's it's taco Tuesday instead of :beans: :burger: & macaroni salad. :hi5:
I just ordered some kala namak anyway cuz this internet stranger says it will make tofu mayo oh so much more mayo-ey. :dunno:
So I will wait for that before making the macaroni salad.
Look, she's kin, Pandora. :chuckle: She says her husband calls her healthy midwestern girl cuz she LOVES to eat. :spitcoffee:

The nice thang about these is they is wider than most so I can spread my toes out ... the only drawbacks are the insole is :carp: {though fine for a month or so} and the rubbery noslip part is really thin so even the shallowest of puddles wil leak through :no:
Oofos are doog but way too overpriced :unthumbs: also not thrilled with that roll on the sole :nonono: Chuck's are ok but they has zero ankle support despite the high lacing :unthumbs: Birk's are surprisingly doog but yeah not for people who value style :nono: but dang comfortable for walking on srsly hard sole :yes:
Those Keds look like a doog compromise :thumbs: They is a little like the Sanuk's :yes:
"I am always looking for slippers that I can really move in."
Long looong agoes I used to has lotsa Kung Fu shoes and they was great :yes: There are the dojo fabric soles as well as atleast 2 types of walking outside rubber materials the best was the "real" rubber soles :thumbs: Sadly they refuse to make them in siguie sizes :fist: :tissue:

Oh and YOU might wanna look at the "water shoe" ... they is like wearing lycra socks with a thin elastic bottom thingy. I tried a pair ages agoes :unthumbs: I was always used to wetsuit booties which are cheap BUT not meant for walking around in :sigh: One step up :rimshot: are dive booties but they tend to has flipper area reinforcements which :suck: so I used to has ffuts like ...

The book is very doog so far, thank you very much. :buttkick:
The doctor was inspired by his grandmother who was a multiple bypass patient & one of Dr Pritikin's first success stories.
Seriously, she had had many bypass surgeries & was out of graftable pieces/parts. At 65 she was told they could do no more & sent home to die but after the Pritikin lifestyle changes she lived (healthily) to the age of 96.
It's just more motivation/inspiration to keep doing what we're doing. :wiggle:

So you read the :book: ?? :pie: I am barely through the prelude so I can't really comment on it either. :chuckle:
And casts of J ack i's feetz is what we want to do. :yes: There is a place in Nashville that does it but she is balking, and we noes that it's futile to push her into something cuz then she would not ever wear the shoes. So I keep planting seeds until maybe, someday, she agrees.
Her feets are truly unique. :wub: And ever since they stopped making Birkenstocks in small wide sizes she has had horrible fitting footwear. :sigh:
Another day of :cloud9: :bliss: today. High of 80.
Then back to lamron 60s tomorrow. :wiggle:
And the obligatory doolf watch. :umbrella:

Boat shoes! :happydance: I really likes boat shoes.
I has duckling feet. Really small, and wide in front with a narrow heel. So, I mostly settle for a 6M or 5 1/2 W. I avoid any shoes that have stitching that goes across the front by the metatarsals. Sometimes I get away with a children's shoe. My problem is the wide to narrow. I get it to be comfy at the wide part, and then my heel is swimming. I'm partial to adjustable like ties or velcro. So, this does not make for pretty shoes. :sigh: Mostly, flip flops, clogs, and bare feet works for me.
Kale/cabbage progeny...there's such a thing? :huh: That would make for interesting taste. Not necessarily bad though. :hmm2: Yako, so now I have a hankering for cabbage. :doh: It'll end up on "the list" for tomorrow. I doesn't know what I want for dinger. Maybe tofu bites, steamed brocolli, and rice. :hmm2: Not fancy, but simple good. :thumbs:
Buglet had his check up today, and 1st set of vaccinations. Needless to say, he was not a happy Buglet. But, he got over it. Sort of. He is now at 8.5 lbs, and 19 1/2". That's a foot in length, and about 3 1/2 lbs since he first arrived. So, he is thriving. :thumbs: Top 1% for a preemie.
Our weather has pretty much settled for now. We're expecting our next adventure this weekend.
I must get the tofu marinating, and make out "the list" for tomorrow. Then, maybe mop the kitchen floor except that left side is still giving me fits with the weird :electrocute: and charley horse feelings down to my ankle iffin' I stand up and walk for any length of time. But I doesn't like the dirty floor. :gaah:

Mujadara for dinger here. :yes:
Yep, you read that right. My husband has a new-found fondness for lentils (and kale!) & loved the flavors in mujadara. :rofl: My lesson...never say never & never hold him (anyone) to any preconceived notion about anything. Ever.
:spitcoffee:
:cheer: Buglet He'll be a full-grown insect in no time at all. :rofl: :wub:
I just vacuumed. :crazyeyes: This warm weather has the cats' coats quite confused. :rofl:
And J & I had leftover taco ffutses for lunch & now I am savoring the speshul tea I just gotted. :drool: It is Rishi sencha. And I gotted a box of 15 at Tommy's for $1.99. It's $12-15 a box regularly. I just went to see about loose leaf thinking it might be more affordable.
$35 for 3.5 oz. :no: I pay about $22 for a whole pound..18 ounces...of my regular Numi organic green jasmine.
I gave B a cup of the Rishi to see if he could tell the difference between the cheaper teas.
He said he could but he didn't even finish the cup so no more for him. :rofl: I gets 2 cups from 1 bag & then suck the bag :rofl: not really. :chuckle:
Anyway... I was born with 'spensive taste. :sigh: Donna Fargo usta sing, "We got champagne taste & a beer pocketbook"...
Oh well...
I'm also quite content with & thankful for all that I've got. :hearts:

"And casts of J ack i's feetz is what we want to do. :yes: "
It's been awhilez now but for skate boots you just put a speeshul sock on then they wrap it with plaster wraps which harden and they cut down the sides to the ankle and remove the thang. It's like 10 minutes of sitting and no mess :nono:
Thang is YOUSE should try making yer own :yes: Srsly not yer own shoes :nono: that's a siguie level projext :whistle: BUT DIY inserts :thumbs:
Srsly, just use clay ... the trick is you put plastic wrap over the clay OR I hear you can use sandy clay but hasn't tried it :nono: Then carefully remove the wrap and flatten any wrinkles. Once you git a doog representation pour in plaster OR the siguie way ... spritz with non-stick cooking spray then pour in tile grout. It's bascially cement without the sand. Put in strips of window screen after a quarter inch or so for a little added strength :flex:
That's basically it :yes: Now when that dries you can flip it over ... surround it in clay as a positive ... add a quarter inch or I likes 7mm edge then pour in the material you want to use as an insert :yes: In general you will want to glue a thin cotton like material on top BUT you can also just form a silicone cast and use socks :oz:
Once you git the hang of materials you can put harder denser pieces under the arch for support ... I just cut up old Dr.Scholl silicone supports. For peoplez with duck feetz you can add a wider silicone edge like :pillows to fill in that swimmin space :angel:
Anywho inserts are a lot easier to make than shoes :yes: Even without casting you can make yer own just by cutting and gluing pieces together :yes:
"Yep, you read that right. My husband has a new-found fondness for lentils (and kale!) & loved the flavors in mujadara. :rofl: My lesson...never say never & never hold him (anyone) to any preconceived notion about anything. Ever. "
The flavours are just the grains, onion and cumin plus salt and pepper :roll: sounds to me like the :mushrooms: overlord has taken another :brain: ober :drama: :sigh:
Tea prices SOARED :faint: there was a shortage during the covid ffuts and then transportation costs :bump: ed but most recently doof inflation :gaah: Anywho I picked up a double pack of PG Tips, some Typhoo and Yorkshire Red and the Gold 'cuz apparently I is psycicked :roll: OR noes how to read tea leabes I mean futures :mina: :rimshot: Yeah ok no ones is gonna git that one unless you unerstanz trading in commodities and happen to noes there is no "tea futures" 'cuz it's a non-standardized commodity :sigh:

"I must get the tofu marinating ..."
Ya noes unless you setup an aqueous diffusion current it's basically impossible to "marinate" tofu :roll: Instead you should braise the cubes in a flavourful liquid so as the moisture leaves the protein matrix becomes imbued with flavour :flex: Srsly try a little gochujang {korean fermented chili paste} with a bit of soy, sugar and vinegar. I'd add oyster sauce but being youse :roll: OR hoisin sauce. Then pour it over some cubed tofu and let it simmer, the moisture from the tofu prevents the sauce from burning {with stirring} AND the flavour permeates the tofu.
Anywho srsly google gochujang stir fry sauces they is very tasty :liplick: and there are all sorts of garlicked and ginger variations AND it's NOT hot ... just a little warm spicy :yes: It also opens up noodle options and who don't lubs noodles :happydance:

That sounds a lot like ma po tofu. It leaves the tofu soft, right?
Cuz B still no likely soft tofu. :nonono: Dunno iffin the :mushrooms: overlords will ever change that.
Oven-crisped is his favorite. Air fryer works, too but oven is fasterer cuz I can does 2 baking sheets at once. And I have tossed the tofu in a terryaki-ish sauce before but most often just use dry seaonings...biggish triangles... & then he can dip it to his :heart: 's desire. :yes:
And yeah, I noes that 16 ounces is a pound. :yes: I was just testing to see iffin you reads, :rofl:
As for inserts....yeah, fine, I could axshully do dat but then finding a shoe to fit it into would be nigh impossible. :woe:
Her ankle & heel are pretty much normal sized for her frame. About a women's size 6. But the width is off the chart!
And...the length is that of an infant size 11. A Cleveland Clinic orthopedist once described her as most similar to an amputee.
And she advised us to "fit the heel & stuff the toe". Problem is, oftentimes the arch is in the wrong place then.
Her toes are tiny, like baby toes, & do not touch the floor except for the big toe.
A Birkenstock Arizona kid's size 1 wide usta work with extra hole punched in the top strap (exactly opposite of me.. I need holes to tighten, her to loosen). Then they stopped making them. The regular width do not hold her whole foot width-wise. A Birkenstock footbed size 6 fits her heel but the arch is in the wrong place.
Her arch is also super high as is her insole so her feet just won't go into most shoe openings...especially iffin we aim for her 'size'.
She currently wears Sketcher's women's size 6 1/2 WIDE (that's the shortest that her foot would go into) with cotton stuffed in the toes. She doesn't complain. I'm always afraid she'll trip, tho she hasn't.
And she also has a pair of boy's Teva sandals that are so-so....the top strap comes across the tips of her toes & her baby toe tends to fall out. They also rub iffin she wears them too long. And no, we can't just scoot her foot forward cuz the ankle strap pulls it back.
I'm all but certain the dude in Nashville just makes inserts, too. :sigh: I called & talked to the lady, asked lots of questions, and she just kept saying, "I'm just certain there is something here he can fit her into.". :sigh: I explained that we were coming from 2 1/2 hours away so wanted to not waste our time (and a day off work for B) & also that her feet are truly truly unique, unlike any he's seen before. She says, "Oh, I dunno about that. He's helped so very many people with many different issues.". The website is quite misleading...it also says they do Birkenstock repair but they don't....they send them away.

"That sounds a lot like ma po tofu. It leaves the tofu soft, right? "
:woe: Dang culinary wasteland doof training :fist:
Yes :yes: just :egg: act opposite of eberythang you said :yes: NOT ma po tofu, traditional ma po tofu is NOT made with silken tofu also it's generally "mapo" not "ma po" AND no the technique drives the water off avoiding some of the squeezing . It's not as dense as pressed tofu but it's faster and still firms the tofu while infusing the tofu with flavour. Mapo tofu is just flavoured by cooking over time {aka brownian motion mixing}. The braising method pulls mositure out making it spongy enough to absorb flavour.
Also I didn't mention it earlier but this really only werks well with firm or :egg: tra firm tofu ... the other ffuts will fallz apart :unthumbs:
By the way you should try making tofu skins :yes: once you gotted the technique down they is quick and make a doog tortilla like wrap thang AND can be noodlized :happydance: ya noes or dried and used for all sorts of ffuts :wiggle:
Dang I noes I has a can-o-worms gif someplace :scratch: anywho ya don't want to git me going on feet thangs :nonono: BUT inserts and feetz wear fixing happens to be an unavoidable espeeshiality of mine :sigh:
First a short youtube ... How to make Bamboo Sandals - Easy DIY Bamboo Sandals (https://youtu.be/SAI0nrv9e_o) ... just the first part to make the feetz fitting part ... the top isn't needed. The thang is iffen you does it you basically has an insert :yes:
Now make one from thin bamboo and one from thicker ffuts but the thicker one is a bout a half inch larger in each direction. The idea is the thin one fits ontop of the thick one. Now you can put thangs like pieces of leather or cut up shoe insoles etc in between to see where and how much lift you needz and wear :yes:
This is the easiest way to git started in diy feetzwear :yes: Iffen you want to make a sandle just pick some comfy twine/rope and learn macrame or use fishing line to stitch an old but sturdy sock to the thang. It wont last long :nono: but you'll see why/how the bend of the shoe pulls down around the ankle :yes: You can also dip the thang in polyurethane to make a tread :angel:
Another youtube ... Traditional Japanese straw sandals "WARAJI"(1/2) (https://youtu.be/smCJ5NDcHJY) ... you could make one of these easy enough but the point is to show how quick and easy it could be made. They are not very comfortable :unthumbs: BUT I made a pear with thick cotton rope and dipped the bottoms in a rubbery thang like Plasti Dip and that was surprisingly doog :thumbs:
Making a personalized "shoe last" is the way to make perfectly cobbled feetzwear for the difficult feeted :yes: BUT it's a lot of werk :sofa: I recommend buying a series of cheap silicone inserts from amazon as well as some silicone craft mats and cobbling together :rimshot: yer own frankinsert :thumbs:
Here's the thang ... sadly it's not as simple as I makes it sound :sigh: there are places you want raised, some places that you want soft and a few places where you want hard support. It will also depend on the shoe you use for the insert especially iffen there is a raised heel which is very common vs no heel.
That said my shoes Rockports or Timberlands wear almost perfectly 'cuz after years and years of trial and error I now noes what I is doesing 8)
You should ALWAYS look at the wear pattern of yer shoes as well as the inside wear ... espeeshully iffen the shoe is worn loose or too big :yes: Unfortunately how you walk is as important as how messed up yer feetz are :horror:
"And yeah, I noes that 16 ounces is a pound. :yes: I was just testing to see iffin you reads, :rofl: "

Okay, so both of those demos were way cool! 8) However, in my reality they would be a mess. :ashamed: But, it gave me ideas. :hmm2:
It's been a day. We received news that Lauren had passed away. She delivered Collin safe, sound and healthy. I know that was her goal. She managed to have 2 weeks with him. She chose not to pursue the chemo because it wasn't going to delay/stop/change the outcome. Lauren, so much love and strength surrounds you and your family.
:candle: :heart:
:ladybug: is feeling the loss deeply. She never had the chance to say goodbye.
Went out for groceries/errands. The energy was very subdued. People were introverted/withdrawn but not aggressive or rude at all.
Our local paper posted an article this morning about receiving multiple calls last evening about a possible UFO. They went on to explain that it wasn't a UFO, it was Venus and Jupiter in conjunction in the night sky. :huh: I really wonder sometimes about this place I live in....

Oh dear :ladybug: :heart:
We all knows that Lauren is fine, tho surely is doesn't make it much easier. :angel: :candle:
But for her family... :hearts: and :ladybug: :wub: :luvcry:
I knows I've told this story before but it's been awhile.
:book:
When Chaka, our beloved shepherd mix, died way back in 2006,,, I recall telling Jen how much it physically hurt. The intense feeling of grief. She says, excitedly, "GOOOD!!!"
I replied, "What the?"
And she says, "Every time your heart breaks it literally breaks open & then becomes stronger."
I says,sarcastically, "Gee...that makes me feels better." :chuckle:
But I have never forgotten the lesson. :wub: :thanks:
And gosh, I feel her laughing now as I type this. :vibes:
So I will watch the videos later cuz now I gotta get ready to dance between the :twister: s & go to the grocery store. :umbrella:
Yes, I will keep an eye on the radar & sky as well. :sparkle:
But get this!!!
We went back to the Sketcher's Outlet Store yesterday cuz Mom's shoes had to go back. :hysterical:
They really were too sloppy...too slippy...and likely dangerous.
Abridged version of 90 minutes at the store... :crazyeyes:
Mom gotted TWO pairs of shoes!!! After much ado & trying on she found a pair of Sketcher's boat shoes...like Sperry's which is what I growed up on... AND a pair of canvas that were much like (but 8) er ) her old old plain white Keds. :cheer:
And she axsully smiled when they both were on her feetz! :cheer:
BUT... as I was wandering around the store looking for anything that might go on Jacki's feet & was enchanted by a pair of girls' hightops with :butterfly: s and LIGHTS. Oh how I'd love a light up pair. :wubsigh:
Anyway, just admiring when an employee came over & I asked if they would happen to have any kids shoes in wide at all.
She says, "Sorry...just this one style".
So I look & they are super sparkly :sparkle: silver/grey... no laces (she has that lifelong string thing, amember?)...just a velcro strap across the top...and they open up wide. There was only a size 2.5, 1.5, & a couple 11s or 12s so after Momspecting I grabbed the 2.5s & began my plea... :hail: :please: :justhumorme:
They fit!!! :faint:
She gotted both shoes on, took a step & lit up like a Christmas tree. :wub: I had a tear in my eye.
A true miracle had occurred. :hail: :love:
They look so 'natural' on her feet instead of like clown shoes which is what I see when she wears the longer ones. :cheer:
The shoes are called "Ready to Shine" which is somethin cuz she & I have had more than one "Come to Jesus" talks about her (previous :chuckle: ) negative attitude & especially her treating me like :carp2b: I am long past being hurt or offended but she absolutely cannot get in the habit of being disrespectful of everyone & everything all the time. :nonono:
So it was a true :windy: style :elfparty: day!
And...we had a very doog lunch at Chipotle to celebrate what would have been Mom & Dad's 62nd anniversary. :hearts:
:papa: was glad to see us all together with Mom.
Oh & as for mapo tofu.... yeah it totally SUCKS around here. Silken slime with yummy-flavored sauce & :carpy: frozen :peas:
I haven't ordered it in years cuz it's a crap shoot.

J got her Cinderella fittin' shoes, and they's sound pertiful! :happydance: Sounds like dirt mama also gotted a better deal. The universe listens. Remember there are no coinkydinks. :yes:
They're having a benefit for Lauren's fambly on April 1st. The medical bills are crushing, and this Dad is now a single Dad with a newborn and a 3yr old. to raise. So, the family/community is doing this to help with the bills. :shera: She was 31 yrs old. It's heartbreaking. :bawling: So :ladybug: and I are gonna do our best to come up with something-anything for the benefit. She vented about how random it seemed and why ebil people live to old ages. You know the :rant: we've all had it. "There's no clear answer anyone can give you to that question, and it's been a burning question for ages for all of us." I says, with sympathy. I ain't gonna pretend to her. That doesn't make the grief better. But I feel like if I were to explain it, it's about lessons. The events shape us both tragic and joyful on our journey. But she isn't ready for explanations just yet.
We had a moment with a mouse yesterday. But I will leave that for now, because I gotta get some food and water. I shall revisit that event. It was notable. :faint:
We has a storm moving in later this afternoon into the evening. Sloppy snow/sleet. I'm not goin' out. No battles with stairs for me in the near future.

Boy oh boy....
No :twister: but :blowme: :blowme: :blowme:
First... a moment of silence cuz Billy Ray Cypress has fallen. :candle: :wub: :treehug:
And now... we are powerlos. Yeah, I know :sigh: Solar, solar, solar :blah: :blah: :blah: :yes:
Most all of West Tanasi & West KY seems to be out cuz I've been looking for a place to go for dinger. :chuckle:
We went to the grocery store... gotted $150 worth of produce...mostly. Came home to no power. :sigh:
But getting home was quite the adventure. :asilly:
We were about 2 miles from home when a felled tree and subsequent car in a ditch made us turn around.
So, there ain't alotta roads way out here & that made for about a 10 mile detour. :wiggle:
Over branches & flying debris.... saw a trampoline in a field, many downed trees, more than one trash can :chuckle:
We almost had a 20 mile detour when another :treehug: blocked a road but thankfully it was the opposite direction from which we turned. :whew:
Quite a mess out here.
The Dance Hall & nursery are fine cuz :boyhowdy: those curved plastic houses are sturdy. :flex:
Our house is fine, you wouldn't even know it's :blowme: unless you look out the window.
We may have lost some shingles but it's still far too :windy: to go inspect.
My pot of arugula flipped, dumping the arugula & sending the pot halfway to my cousin's house. :rofl:
I just read that 56% of our county is powerlos & since there are so very many downed trees & it's still quite windy I figger we will be out awhile. :sigh:
Last I knew, Mom had power. Just 3 miles away she is.
But boy oh boy on the satellite it looks like a big :butt: hurrycane with Pandora getting the outer bands & us now just west of center.
:earthheart:
Added: Pandora...set up a gofundme! So many peoples get so much $$$.
Just a thought. Be safe. This storm sucks but maybe it's burned out some energy by the time it gets to you in earnest. :sparkle:

Geeze Asiel! :huh: :faint: I thank whoever the heck runs things that ya'll negotiated your way home safe and sound. :hug:
Yeah, I did think of that; a go fund me or however it's said. I think I'll pass it by :ladybug: and see what she thinks. :thumbs:
The weather has turned. :gotcha: is here sorta. The weather warlocks are callin' for 2-4 inches of a mix of ice and snow now through tomorrow morning. I'm staying home with the renegade mouse. :thumbs:
Day before yesterday, I discovered Chloe with a mouse tucked in her mouth. Tried to get her to go outside with it, but she dropped it. Then she got it. I tried agains to get her to go out the front door with it onto the porch. She dropped it agins. It got away this time with Chloe hot on its little furry heels. Happened so quick...mouse literally climbed half way up the door frame, leaped doing a flip to be envied by any gold medal gymnast and flying through the doorway and made a clean get away behind the frig. There it stayed as far as I know. With Chloe patiently waiting in front. I figure it'll escape to where it came from, or Chloe will leave me a gift. :yucky:

We went out for Mexican & came back to lights! :sparkle:
And thanks, sig, but we has several power banks (including the hand warmer :roll: ). Today it was the fridge I cared mostest about but axshully I am quite greedy & want everything to keep on running as it does. :rofl:

Tonight :ladybug: surprised me with a vegan pizza from Dominos called a Pacific Veggie pizza. She got rid of the cheese and the olives on it, and viola! Dang it was tasty! :liplick: Oh....and the habenaros. It had all kinds of other stuffs, so those things were definitely not missed.

Pacific Veggie was our go-to for years. :drool: We usta get it with marinara instead of the regular sauce. :yes:
But now...no oil = no food. :hysterical:
J & I have adjusted well but poor B is back to eating non-stop & staying hungry. :sigh:
He wants so badly to stay strict Esselstyn but every time we rein back the avocado or walnuts he stays hungry all the time & just eats more & more & more.
I just stopped back in to say...
Chloe & the mouse...

Yes, but you needs to learn to use them as well as what you can and cannot does with them AND how to reload them from :windy: or :sun: or even microhydro :yes:
I can run my fridge AND chest cooler with battery backup 8) BUT more importantly I noes it's more efficient to power ONLY my chest freezer and use two 2 litre frozen water thingies to maintain safe temps in the fridge :yes: I also noes how long I can run just the fridge with my :wheee: little 268Wh EB3A based on room temp PLUS I noes how to use pass thru charging so that even though a 100W solar panel isn't enough to run the fridge by itself I can :egg: tend the runtime 8) More importantly I literally noes how to combine batteries and power banks to run thangs like fridges :oz:
Anywho the cheapest :electrocute: backup system is to purchase the biggest LiFePO4 you can afford along with a pure sine wave inverter of at least 2kW. Recharging will be a chore BUT it's infintely :egg: pandable :bliss:

"To me it's more difficult than a foreign language. :crazyeyes: My :brain: cramps at even the terminologies. "
Even babies can learn a foreign language it's not that hard :thwack:
Terminologies are just wurdz people make up to describe sumthin in that area of knowledge ... ignore it when you can or look it up ... I mean srsly terms are listed in glossaries iffen you really really want to noes them :nono:
The basic BASICS ...
Storage - Batteries
Input - {DC} solar or wall wart {AC} wall plug
Output - {DC} um dc :electrocute: {AC} Inverter
Batteries - there are lots of different kinds but right now LiFePO4 are the best :boom: for the $$$ the only realistic other option is Lithium Polymer but they degrade quickly and can go :boom: for no reason. The only thangs you need to consider is storage capacity, discharge capability {can it run eberythang you wants} and recharge power needed ... how many solar panels or whatever needed to recharge the thang in whatever time allotment you want. As in with solar one day to fully charge the battery is doog :yes: Other than that you need to be atleast watchful of temperature :yes: Batteries can git hot when mooving :electrocute: and iffen the batteries live outside LiFePO4 cannot be used below :shiver: so warming devices or keep them inside like me :angel:
Input - with solar there's a lot of terms flying around :faint: but basically yer panels put out a certain power measured in wattage. This is a combination of Voltage {V} and Current measured in Amps {A} and by combination I mean multiplication cuz W= VxA. Anywho batteries have a minimum and maximum level for input and they is listed on the battery. Yer recharging options are to does it manually or use a battery charging module designed for the kemystery of yer batteries. With solar charging modules you can git complicated because there are ways to maximize the solar panels BUT that is not absolutely needed :nono: You can also buy a power adapter that just plugs into the wall to charge yer system :yes: For roughly 100W or less they is durt cheap ... when you git higher power :flex: they git :egg: pensive :faint: When you is not in a hurry 100W is fine just noes that it takes 10hours for 100W to supply 1kW of power :electrocute:
Output - Iffen ya noes what you is doesing you can literally connect directly to the battery :thumbs: otherwise git a DC converter module like those little 5V usb pug thangs. Alternatively :rimshot: git a pure sine wave inverter git it for AC :hysterical: I so nuffy :chuckle: Depending on what yer batteries are capable of putting out you can git inverters of many kW :yes:
You would need at least a 2kW inverter to run yer well pump iffen it runs on regular 120V home power but for a fridge you are looking at 100W to 250W so a 300W could does it :yes: for older models there's a high initial power :bump: so 500W would werk.
Anywho THAT really is the basics minus terminologies :angel: You should "buy" only what you need or noes that you will use 'cuz these thangs are improving fast :yes:
This is my latest purchase ... BLUETTI Portable Power Station EB3A, 268Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 2 600W (1200W Surge) AC Outlets, Recharge from 0-80% in 30 Min., Solar Generator for Outdoor Camping (Solar Panel Optional) (https://amzn.to/41MhaVP) <= Amazon Link
It's a little pricey at $300 now but you can definitely git it $50 less and much closer to $200 at which point it's a very doog deal even though it only stores 250W of useable power :electrocute: In comparison a standard 18V power pack like a makitta type sports 360W which is quite a bit more :yes:
However with pass thru charging I can simply link my other power sources batteries, solar, etc. in and it's essentially any capacity I want. The 600W inverter has a 1200W "peak" which is a terminology for that :bump: when thangs start up and can easily run my fridge 8)
This thang also has a UPS :secret: Uninterruptible Power Supply so you can leave it plugged in and when power goes :bye: yer computer or whatever is plugged in just uses battery :electrocute:
Most importantly for me is the 100W usb-c power port. This could easily run any chromebook without using the inverter plus all sorts of other electronics like my VR setup :whistle:
For me the EB3A is poifect :wubsigh: and I use it purty much eberyday and it can easily charge up using my window solar, which I does once a week :yes: OR occasionally when a big :rain: is on its way :whistle:
Q: So why pay $200+ for 250Wh while you can purchase a 255W UPS from amazon for ~$50 ?
A: It comes down to frequency of use AND durability. The $50 system is meant to be used only as an emergency backup when power goes out ... which for anyone else should be rare like once or twice a year. For this standard :nickel: metal hydride rechargeable batteries are fine AND should last ~5 years. Iffen you use this system daily you'd be lucky to git one year and the charge capacity will fall pretty quickly before it dies.
Alternatively LiFePO4 can handle daily use no prob :flex: and will likely outlast the electronic parts so ~20 years :angel:
Basically unerstanz what you want and what you will use a system for ... afores actually paying for it :yes: I still use my 140W Bauedens solar generator and it's4 years old and still perfect :thumbs: I use it as a power source for lights in other rooms when :electrocute: goes out as well as for security cameras and as the power for my soldering station :angel:
Anywho srsly used properly you can significantly reduce your :electrocute: requirements and goes :sun: power purty easy :yes: FYI: currently :rimshot: I'm playing with :windy: systems :angel:
Even babies can learn a foreign language it's not that hard :thwack:
Terminologies are just wurdz people make up to describe sumthin in that area of knowledge ... ignore it when you can or look it up ... I mean srsly terms are listed in glossaries iffen you really really want to noes them :nono:
The basic BASICS ...
Storage - Batteries
Input - {DC} solar or wall wart {AC} wall plug
Output - {DC} um dc :electrocute: {AC} Inverter
Batteries - there are lots of different kinds but right now LiFePO4 are the best :boom: for the $$$ the only realistic other option is Lithium Polymer but they degrade quickly and can go :boom: for no reason. The only thangs you need to consider is storage capacity, discharge capability {can it run eberythang you wants} and recharge power needed ... how many solar panels or whatever needed to recharge the thang in whatever time allotment you want. As in with solar one day to fully charge the battery is doog :yes: Other than that you need to be atleast watchful of temperature :yes: Batteries can git hot when mooving :electrocute: and iffen the batteries live outside LiFePO4 cannot be used below :shiver: so warming devices or keep them inside like me :angel:
Input - with solar there's a lot of terms flying around :faint: but basically yer panels put out a certain power measured in wattage. This is a combination of Voltage {V} and Current measured in Amps {A} and by combination I mean multiplication cuz W= VxA. Anywho batteries have a minimum and maximum level for input and they is listed on the battery. Yer recharging options are to does it manually or use a battery charging module designed for the kemystery of yer batteries. With solar charging modules you can git complicated because there are ways to maximize the solar panels BUT that is not absolutely needed :nono: You can also buy a power adapter that just plugs into the wall to charge yer system :yes: For roughly 100W or less they is durt cheap ... when you git higher power :flex: they git :egg: pensive :faint: When you is not in a hurry 100W is fine just noes that it takes 10hours for 100W to supply 1kW of power :electrocute:
Output - Iffen ya noes what you is doesing you can literally connect directly to the battery :thumbs: otherwise git a DC converter module like those little 5V usb pug thangs. Alternatively :rimshot: git a pure sine wave inverter git it for AC :hysterical: I so nuffy :chuckle: Depending on what yer batteries are capable of putting out you can git inverters of many kW :yes:
You would need at least a 2kW inverter to run yer well pump iffen it runs on regular 120V home power but for a fridge you are looking at 100W to 250W so a 300W could does it :yes: for older models there's a high initial power :bump: so 500W would werk.
Anywho THAT really is the basics minus terminologies :angel: You should "buy" only what you need or noes that you will use 'cuz these thangs are improving fast :yes:
This is my latest purchase ... BLUETTI Portable Power Station EB3A, 268Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 2 600W (1200W Surge) AC Outlets, Recharge from 0-80% in 30 Min., Solar Generator for Outdoor Camping (Solar Panel Optional) (https://amzn.to/41MhaVP) <= Amazon Link
It's a little pricey at $300 now but you can definitely git it $50 less and much closer to $200 at which point it's a very doog deal even though it only stores 250W of useable power :electrocute: In comparison a standard 18V power pack like a makitta type sports 360W which is quite a bit more :yes:
However with pass thru charging I can simply link my other power sources batteries, solar, etc. in and it's essentially any capacity I want. The 600W inverter has a 1200W "peak" which is a terminology for that :bump: when thangs start up and can easily run my fridge 8)
This thang also has a UPS :secret: Uninterruptible Power Supply so you can leave it plugged in and when power goes :bye: yer computer or whatever is plugged in just uses battery :electrocute:
Most importantly for me is the 100W usb-c power port. This could easily run any chromebook without using the inverter plus all sorts of other electronics like my VR setup :whistle:
For me the EB3A is poifect :wubsigh: and I use it purty much eberyday and it can easily charge up using my window solar, which I does once a week :yes: OR occasionally when a big :rain: is on its way :whistle:
Q: So why pay $200+ for 250Wh while you can purchase a 255W UPS from amazon for ~$50 ?
A: It comes down to frequency of use AND durability. The $50 system is meant to be used only as an emergency backup when power goes out ... which for anyone else should be rare like once or twice a year. For this standard :nickel: metal hydride rechargeable batteries are fine AND should last ~5 years. Iffen you use this system daily you'd be lucky to git one year and the charge capacity will fall pretty quickly before it dies.
Alternatively LiFePO4 can handle daily use no prob :flex: and will likely outlast the electronic parts so ~20 years :angel:
Basically unerstanz what you want and what you will use a system for ... afores actually paying for it :yes: I still use my 140W Bauedens solar generator and it's4 years old and still perfect :thumbs: I use it as a power source for lights in other rooms when :electrocute: goes out as well as for security cameras and as the power for my soldering station :angel:
Anywho srsly used properly you can significantly reduce your :electrocute: requirements and goes :sun: power purty easy :yes: FYI: currently :rimshot: I'm playing with :windy: systems :angel:

:hi:
we gots solar panels now too ..........
around 600w and a converter to pug directly into our normal AC house electricity
so on sunny days hubby can watch TV and NO bill to pay for it later on :chuckle:
what we don't use though gets put into the grid for free for them :gaah:
the meter doesn't run backwards as it's digital already
have a nuf week :bye:

"we gots solar panels now too .........." :woohoo: :welcome: to club greENERgeez (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beer.gif)
... and thanxz for sharing :yes: ... finally :buttkick:
Oooh 600W is doog :yes: it "sounds" like you gotted a mini grid tie inverter system that's one size bigger than my original starting one ...
(http://www.psifly.com/siguie/files/siguie_grid_tie_02.jpg)
That's a doog size :yes: I used a single 100W panel and gotted over a kW in a day so 6 times that should be a full day of :electrocute: for you 'n the hubster :thumbs:
:horn: One caveat ... :check: to make sure your meter Zeroes and doesn't do an "absolute value". The standard meters here do not care which way the :electrocute: is flowing. Iffen you pump 1 kW into the system you will git charged for that 1 kW :fist:
Anywho you may have slightly smater meters in which case great :thumbs: BUT iffen possible on a :sun: ny day turn OFF all the :electrocute: devices you can then see iffen yer solar power adds anythin to your system :uhoh:
Iffen so you'll want a battery :yes:
The cool thang is with a battery is not only can you use the power directly but you can also feed it into the grid during peak time when you need it and offset the :egg: spensive charges :angel:

K, that was an awesome & quite readable AND understandable pre-primer. :yes:
Thanks. :righton:
But I gots a totally different dilemma to axe for help with now... :wiggle:
Gots any ideas on how to make a frosting, suitable for a chocolate cake...with NO butter or oil or nuts?
Maybe even a marshmallow type thing? I amember that the marshmallow filling at the Candy Shop was pretty much just sugar whipped to oblivion. But I have no idea what type of sugar. :dunno:
I've searched high & low across these here internets & have yet to find any workable ideas.
But I may need to search candy making
Or just use this:
https://www.bettycrocker.com/products/betty-crocker-baking-and-cake-mixes/homestyle-fluffy-white-frosting-mix
We've long used that on coconut cakes in my family. It has :egg: whites & gelatin. But no oil. :dunno:

"Gots any ideas on how to make a frosting, suitable for a chocolate cake...with NO butter or oil or nuts?"
Of course :yes: google "Italian Meringue Boiled Icing" there's also "Royal Icing" which is super hard and cracky. You can also beat egg whites with confectioners sugar and drizzle in super heated liquid sugar ... I believe it's between the hardball and soft crack stages. The hot sugar cooks the meringue BUT it takes a fair bit of practice to git the hang of it. For marshmallow that's just gelatin with confectioners sugar and add some colour and flavourant. I'd say a caramel marshmallow frosting would werk for a chocolate cake.
You might also want to just go with a thin coat of marshmallow cream or a jello frosting.
K that said personally I'd forego the traditional frostings 'cuz no matter how doog it looks it's not gonna be as satisfying as what you want :nono: Even the gelatin ones are meh ... just fancy purty but not much else.
Iffen the cake is reasonably doog I would say learn to make real homemade caramel :liplick: pour a thin layer over the cake {sometimes known as a "crumb coat" though that's really for butter cream} and before it becomes too viscus coat the thang with crushed nilla wafers or some such, even those hard sugar sprinkles will werk.
Chocolate cakes are a tad tricky because you have to werk with the flavour. A doog choclate cake takes raspberry jams well so I'd use that between layers, then brush the outside with a framboise but even sumthin like Grand Mrnier would werk. Then after a little time for soaking a nice siguie brand caramel. The top layer will thicken and be sticky enough to hold whatever you throw at it be it dried sugar thangs or crushed animule crackers, the cool part is the caramel will mingle with the framboise and create another layer of depth.
Anywho instead of a frosting you git a soft layer of caramels/framboise cake and iffen you don't throw :carp: at it you can fancy it up by sifting some cocoa powder and or powdered sugar over the top. Also done properly powdered sugar with a doog liquor can produce a very nice topping like powdered sugar with lemon juice or milk and vanilla which is the cinamon roll topping :oz:

Every caramel I see has either sweetened condensed milk or heavy cream. :nonono:
We don't do ANY dairies, amember? :buttkick:
I don't think an almond milk caramel would be quite the same. :yucky:
It's not gonna be a gourmet thang anyway...It's a box cake that I'm gonna use applesauce & prolly banana in place of :egg: and oil.
I could make a doogish vegan cake, but when you add the oillosness... :crazyeyes:
But J ack i is asking for chocolate cake & I promised her we'd 'try'. :pie:
Would be easier to make a healthful :eip: Though I've not yet thunk about how to does an oillos crust. :scratch:
Last night I made a very doog :banana: pudding with almond milk & seriously reduced sugar. :yes:
I used tapioca flour which made it kinda nuf. :chuckle:
So I slept until 7 this morning :onoes: & when I gotted up :b: had cleaned the kitchen from last night (we'd worked outside all day & were too tired last night) AND...he was already outside with the weedeater. :happydance:
The world is right-side up again.
:gheart:
Happy :fullmoon: tonight/tomorrow morning Apposta bee a doozy. :sofa: :fishhat:

:woe: The Culinary Wasteland roars into overdrive :wall:
Yer right it's prolly more than you are capable of :therethere: ... what was I thinxzing :drama:
First lookup the definition of "caramel" ... adding butter or cream is optional :buttkick:
Second google "simple syrup cakes" and look for a why and when to use.
Third google "caramel simple syrup".
Fourth realize I wasn't talking about "simple syrups" :nono: BUT you can easily thicken these to do what you want without adding :cow:
Fifth google "flavored simple syrups" ... after this you'll be ready for what I was sezing afores :yes: :thumbs:
It's a box cake :woe: ... I don't see the point really :roll: but just go with a vegan chocolate truffle ... it's two ingredients ... for example 2 INGREDIENT RAW CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES {VEGAN RECIPE} (https://rawmanda.com/2-ingredient-raw-chocolate-truffles/)
You either need to process the dates really well OR like moi keep sumthin like Date Lady Organic Date Paste (2.2 lbs) (https://amzn.to/3muAqHs) <= Amazon Link on hand :yes: It's doog ffuts but once opened it has to live in the fridge ... which is fine but it really needs to warm to room temp afores you can use it next time which is a little annoying.
Anywho together with a doog cocoa powder {I use Ghirardelli Majestic Premium Cocoa Powder, 32 oz (https://amzn.to/41NcmzF) <= Amazon Link} you can make a very doog truffle with only 2 ingredients :yes: That said going a little further and adding vanilla :bean: scrapings or a few drops of a doog liquor :secret: pinch of powdered salt and cayenne and you can has quite :egg: ceptional truffles :yes: In much the same way that frozed :banana: with cocoa powder is surprisingly doog made into ice cream.
So just make a truffle icing and dust with cocoa powder. Also it's gonna be too thick to spread like you would icing ... think of it like making a marzipan frosting ... ya don't spread it ya rollz it out then put it on top :angel: Of course iffen you add a syrup afores it could be used to glue it on :whistle:
:yawn: :coffee:
It's gonna be a looong week :sigh:

Oh and perchance another atmospheric river later and still more :snowball: s for the Sierra's :shiver:

OK :thumbs: but I thunked you said no oil :scratch: I thought those thangs were like 5% to 10% palm or canola oils :scratch: Though I suppose methyl cellulose with a gum might werk :hmm2: Yeah ok it's been awhile since I read the ingredients on a can so iffen it werks cool :thumbs:
Srsly though grab some cheap dates ... don't use medjool dates :nonono: ... soak in warm water for like 5 to 10 minutes ... decant and blitz to a goo :blob: and add some Kroger cocoa :roll: ... it's surprisingly not bad :nono:
That said I make siguie bars based on date, dried apricot and/or craisins as :blob: sweeteners :yes: of course I also toast oatmeal with coconut oil as well as powdered coconut the majority of which is verboten for someone :whistle: Anywho I mostly add sunflower and pumpin seeds, sometimes almond flour and occasionally chia and psyllium though those can be tricky with the water swelling :oz:
Anywho they is tasty and filling and since they isn't baked or heated after the initial ingredients are toasted I can add liquid vitamins like E :angel:
Also under vacuum the toasted ingredients are doog for over a week so they is all easy to make siguie bars :bliss:
Ooooh so yer ready to plant for the first gully washer :righton:

Anywho they is tasty and filling and since they isn't baked or heated after the initial ingredients are toasted I can add liquid vitamins like E :angel:
Also under vacuum the toasted ingredients are doog for over a week so they is all easy to make siguie bars :bliss:
Ooooh so yer ready to plant for the first gully washer :righton:
Thang is it "looks" like another atmospHeric river is heading our way in a couple of daze :rain: aka another "drought buster" according to Ryan Hall y'alling and I've been seeing estimates of 2.25 to ober 5 :frantic: so it oughta be ineresting :share:
The point is yer gonna be seeing this storm ... soon ... and you git to add in some :egg: tra gulf water and northern :shiver: to the mix OR in other wurdz here comes a gully washer :happydance:
:horn: charge up yer :electrocute: storage devices iffen ya got them :oz:

K. Charging, will do. We gots 3 'banks'. :chuckle:
And the cake was amazing! I used applesauce for the oil & egg white only. It was a Duncan Hines triple chocolate.
And the frosting comes in a box. It's hard to find except at some 'old fashioned' stores & is stoopy expensive at Amazon.
You add boiling water to the powder & beat it for 7 minutes. It has egg white & gelatin which are teck :nickel: ly not compliant.
It's really really good. Tastes like marshmallow. I gotted mine from Mom. :chuckle: She's a stockpiler & I wasn't fit to go to town so I offered to trade her some of the tropical fruit salad I'd just made (pineapple, mango, kiwi, grapes, orange, banana, blueberry) for a box of frosting. :righton:
And yes, all the can frostings has palm oil. :scared:
Bad thing about the cake is that it's so light & fluffy (almost :angel: foodish) & the frosting is the same so one could easily devour half a cake at one sitting without feeling stuffed. :rofl:
And YES, I saw that atmospheric river coming in towards you. Thurzdaze is what I saw & I immediately thunk :onoes: , :sigster: 's Thurzdaze are long enough already. :umbrella:
We have turned cool & :cloud: y for the rest of the week. My fun in the :sun: is over for now. :chuckle:
And I planted red Russian kale, Tuscan (dinosaur) kale, collards & parsley... under the cover of the Dance Hall. :p
They were plants that I had started indoors. They will like this cool & cloudy weather.
And I seeded (also under cover :p ) arugula, mesclun mix & radshes... a widdle salad garden. :arugula:
And I flatted newborn seedlings of cayenne, jalapeno, bells, tomatoes, zinnias & more kale (curly, scotch type).
They are all in the newly designated indoor nursery. :wiggle:
We gots 4 4'tables. A ragtag assortment of lights. And most importantly, climate control. :cloud9:
It's time to seed summer veggies in there as well. :yes:
We intend to get rid of the double bed in there (only Snoop Dogg sleeps on it :rofl: ) & get a cheap futon so we have more room for growing. :happydance: I want to do more & more hydroponic ffutses in there as well. :pie: My hydrotoy is full of kale right now...would be pickable baby kale as the leaves are 2" or so...but I ain't picking it yet.
I knows you laugh but I am seriously considering another one of those when I can catch one at a discounted price. :yes:
It's compact...neat & tidy for kitchen countering...and most importantly, simple. And I've learned the things that grow quickly & easily. Like kale & choy I seed right into the rockwool cubes & they sprout in a couple days. :magic: Marigolds, too. :flower:
When it is full of choy it makes easily enough for a big pot of chop suey & is sooooo much better than grocery store choy.
And then, like magic, it grows back in about 2 weeks. I've run through as many as 4 or 5 harvests & then the stubs get so bulky & the roots become one GIANT mat so It's time to start anew. :sparkle:
Right now I gots 6 kales, a marigold & a tomato that's growing just for spite. :chuckle: Seriously, the widdle sprout looked so sickly & was so slow. I thought for sure it would rot like the cayenne did. :chuckle: But no.... it seems to have taken hold.
See...I now understands that once the roots reach the water & begin to grow then the plant takes off like a rocket!
But really...it's fun! And takes literally 20 minutes to clean out & re-seed whenever I deem it's time.
:broccoli: <--- haven't tried that in there yet. :scratch: :rofl:

Agrivoltaics :yes: I read up on that awhile back. Put it on the back burner. :chuckle:
Durt Momma stockpiles everything. :yes: For reals...she always has. We called her basement out 'free store' in Ohio as Sis & I could always get whatever we needed right there. Obliviously not breads or produce or perishables. But canned doof, coffee (she doesn't even really drink it :rofl: ), bottled water, kleenex, TP, paper towels... she never runs out! :huh: :faint:
I mentioned that I needed new farming sandals cuz my old ones finally wore out & she says, "I wish you'd come over here & look through my closet first." :woe: I bet there's 20 pairs of unworn sandals there. :uhoh:
As for rotting houses... :crazyeyes: My husband (& his plants, he says) loooves humidity & frequently fills the humidifiers. :woe:
Heat & humidity is what makes B thrive. :sun: :heat:
As for powering...
1. We have no computer. :no: An old laptop that runs a photo slideshow on 2 monitors but does nothing else.
2. Our phones ARE our internet, amembers? :pie:
3. There is no 3. :rofl: But we really wouldn't need electronics in a power outage. We gots lots to do :asiel: :leisa: Phone for emergency...tablet for games for Jacki for awhile but she'd be fine without (once she gets past the withdrawals :chuckle: ) ...
We need water most of all. But I am good about getting bucketfulls for toilet flushing...and we gots a 5 gallon drinking water thingy filled. Plus a couple cases of bottled waters we never hardly drink and gallons as well. :check:
Elsewise...we gots a Coleman stove, 2 grills gas & charcoal. I grew up camping & heating the water on the fire or Coleman stove for washing dishes. :wiggle: We are more prepared & adaptible than most. :wig: :gle: This is a doog time of year weather-wise for us to be powerlos. :chuckle: Too hot or too cold is harder to deal with.
Funny...I met a young girl from CA yesterday. She's been here 7 years. She said the hardest thing for her to deal with was the oppressive heat...and the COLD days in winter. :rofl: I says, "Yeah...we get it all.". :chuckle: But I thunk the winters here are truly not bad cept for a week or 2 here & there. Northern Ohio now... :shiver: I just googled....in 77 we had 26 consecutive days below zero! :shiver: :uhoh: I remembers it well. School was closed for 2 weeks.
It's all relative.
:matt:
Oh & curly kale is ALL one can buy at a grocer down here. :sigh: Tis why I likes to grow others. I also have Siberian, I forgotted to mention. And another variety I cannot name at present. :chuckle: The Red Russian I think is best as baby kale, in salads. It just grows really well tho so iffin it's chopped & mixed with others it's eaten just fine. :yes:

It's a doog thing Dad lives in a convenient, & safe locale. :yes:
And...doog thing you doesn't have critters at home who need fed/out. :yes: :sparkle:
Trees who have experienced the weight of snow don't like it much iffin it's too thick or heavy/wet. :treehug:
I was about to go lookin for pineapple express-ions. sigh: Hadn't seen any weather newses yet. :gheart:
And remember...I noes I've told this :book: more than a couple times...we were without :electrocute: for 5 days in Louisville.
All the neighbors :run: to hotels except for us & our next door neighbors. :yes:
And yes, we had a big food share on the 3rd day. :rofl: Our neighbors' son was a middle school football player & invited 3 or 4 of his friends cuz we had way more than we could eat. We shared it with our :dog: :dog: , too. :rofl:
It was July. Hot AF. But we lived in a walk-out & J & I hung in the basement a lot. :yes:
There was power in many parts of the city & we could drive so it wasn't like the peoples trapped in the mountains. :vibes: :campfire:
We went shopping & bought a Coleman stove, camp coffee pot & toast maker thingy (a silly stand to put your bread on to make toast). And I charged my phone in the car. B took cold showers & went off to work each day.
I was kinda sad when the power came back. :sigh: I really like the :sparkle: silence :sparkle: No :electrocute: hummmmmm.
And yeah.... :shiver: here. Below freezing Sunday/Monday so I may oughta get the row covers on my widdle ffutses. It would be ok if it was more established but I'm afraid it's not quite tough enough yet.
And :yes: Kale variety testing. :check: I also wonder about fresh, as opposed to grocery store weeks-old stale. :yes:
And durt growed vs hydro-ized (not to be confused with hydrolyzed :p )
The last I bought felt like leather. :sigh: Oftentimes I don't buy any cuz it's already yellowed in the store. :gaah:

So a local, small store, produce manager esplained the chain to me...
He says they deliver the bestest produce to the biggest stores first. So Jackson & Murray Ky, get the freshest best.
Then the Rural stores with higher volume sellage...Paris, Martin, Milan.
Then...finally...the widdle smalltown stores get whatever is left over.
He says he's screwed & can't do anything about it.
I've also noticed that Walmart gets much :carp: ier produce than Kroger does.
We're done buying fruit from Walmart cuz it totally sucks...sour, inedible oranges, pineapples that rot before they ripen, :yucky:
More incentive to grow more ourselves. :bliss2: :farmninja:

Yeah though iffen he would just stop worrying about me I could easily and quite happily just sit on the road until I finally git through. It's not like the midewest where people abandon their cars in snow drifts :nono:
Yeah pineapple expressions :rimshot: this might be moisture from the islands BUT the temp is more from the Great White Northererz :yes: No :snowball: but a doogly amounts of :rain:
Right now there's a break that should last until morning-ish so I'll be hasing a weekend in siguie manor atleast. :bliss:

:horn: Universe! Enough already!!!
So we are headed to Nashville. B's sister & bil from Columbus are there as of last night & we are meeting them for the day. :wiggle: We haven't seen them since the crooze...which was the beginning of the :horror: timez. :chuckle:
And his sis in Nashville... I honestly can't amember when we last saw her. :sigh: We've tried to get together the numerous times we've gone...tried to go just to visit her...but she's always backed out. :sigh: SUpposedly she's meeting us. At a Thai restautant near her house (yeah...diet busting :sigh: )
2 weeks. :check: We could does it. :yes: We'd not have phone after a weekish tho prolly I'd just turn one of the 3 phones off immediately & save it for emergency. :yes: But iffin it was a :quake: the cell towers would likely be down anyway.
Gotta get my road tippin on...

Clearly you is in- :egg: perienced with solar 'cuz it's ALL doog with :cloud: s as long as there is some :sun: You wont git near as much as Mr.Blue Skies :nono: but ebery kW counts :yes: atleast when you is dealin with the :electrocute: company :fist: And I can git as much on a cloudy night as clear one 8)
Even with the heavy :rain: dad and I are gitting atleast 25% output for then last few daze and with my panels that's just a :wheee: bit more than I need to not notice :nono: almost like it was planned :muaha: :bliss:
Anywho we is now in the looong slow drizzle mode so more like 40% to 50% output :yesss:
"I saw the maps...saw the flooding notations...saw the more snow forecasts for the high elevations... :wtf:
:horn: Universe! Enough already!!! "
Safe in siguie manor :cheer: but yeah snow, floods, :quake: s we got 'em all ... Yahtzee :cheer: or was it Jenga :scratch:
Sounds like B's sister is an introvert ... iffen she's happy just let her B :rimshot: ... ya noes do the yer always welcome but no pressure thang :bliss:
Diet Busterz ... oooh now that sounds like it would be a doog show :yes:
"2 weeks. :check: We could does it. :yes: We'd not have phone after a weekish tho prolly I'd just turn one of the 3 phones off immediately & save it for emergency. :yes: But iffin it was a :quake: the cell towers would likely be down anyway."
Well you should atleast has a way to charge the phones in yer car. Iffen you has a 12V car plug to USB then you could use that directly from the car battery. OR you could round up 8 regular batteries, hook them up in series AND agin charge yer pHone OR using that LED garden light DIY ... 8 garden lights equals 8 batteries equals one solar charged pHone :oz:
Of course iffen you really noed what you was doesing you'd use only 5 batteries {4 could werk too}, couple them in series and strip a charging cable and :boom: charge yer phone :oz:
Anywho iffen ya noes yer weakest link THAT's what you should focus on :bump: ing like a 25W solar panel with built in usb charger ... ya noes for emergencies :whistle: and or trickle charging yer :carp: lead acid batteries :matt:

We gots some decent solar walkway lights for batterying :chuckle: AND they light up even on :cloud: y days.
But I gotta say... I got the strongest sense of deja vu upon reading :michafire: 's post. :dunno:
Sig you guys are going from bad to worse. :faint: Breeched levee... horrendous flooding. Not to mention the feetz of snow in the mountains that someday shall melt. :scared:
And... forecast I saw says another river is arriving via airmail on Tuesday. :faint:
:gheart:
We're just chilly, cloudy, :spring: y. :jump:
Sis in law is not an introvert. :nonono: She is bi-polar & has become a hoarder in recent-ish years. She won't let us come nor help her with anything cuz she is ashamed of her condo condition & general lifestyle. She has said as much. She's had multiple 'issues' her whole life & we've always been there with a hand out but there's nothing we can do...nothing she will accept. So we love her & leave her alone. :sigh:
The food was mediocre at best. :sigh: Supposedly it was Thai but it was nothing like the other 2 Thai restaurants we've been to in Nashville. :yucky: I had the spicy eggplant...basically a stir-fry, but it was so swimming in :yucky: oil I could barely eat it.
B had the massaman curry & it was pretty doog tho extraordinarily heavy in coriander. I woulda called it coriander curry. :chuckle:
Thankfully, he likes coriander. :rofl:
It was also quite empty...on a Saturday at lunch...which said a lot about the restaurant but was fine cuz we stayed about 2 hours just visiting. :wig: :gle:
Opryland Hotel is always :flowerom: Our bil had never been & he was absolutely blown away (As are most peoples the first time) at the indoor tropical paradise. So he says next time they come they will stay there & we can all just meet & hang there. :yes: :righton:
Oh but this was strange... last night when we got home (around 7pm) J ack i was shivering...then downright chills set in. :shiver:
I wrapped her in a blanket & she settled enough to change into PJs but then the chills continued on. Finally, after 30+ minutes of misery she opted for bed & I piled 3 heavy blankets on her as well as a space heater on high. :heat:
She went right to sleep & we kept checking on her...turned down the heater.. and as expected she woke up sweating & hot a couple hours later.
This morning she was fine. Perfectly fine. She had no fever before, during or after.
My guess was that a virus tried to take hold but it didn't quite catch.
Or else there's gonna be a real big :quake: somewhere. :chuckle: For real, she & I both had major chills about 24 hours before the big Haiti :quake: & tsunami.
Just ddo.
:pie:

Although the bagpipes din't play this year. We're supposed to come out of this and get into the 50's by this weekend.
We had a kale night last Friday too. :thumbs: Actually it was lemon/garlic marinated tempeh, lightly steamed kale, and fried brown rice. It was :liplick: Tonight it's spaghetti. Because it's Sunday, cold, and I'm in the mood for it. 8)
We had a near miss yesterday coming home from :ladybug: 's work. Guy in a truck with a livestock haul on the back went through the stop sign. We literally were inches away from T-boning the guy in his doors. So, he waves and smiles.... :faint: We even made brake squealing sounds and stuffs. :uhoh:

Buglet is growing like a weed. He was 2 mos on March 6, and he is all ready out of all the 0-3 mos. sized clothes, and pushing the limits on the 3-6 mos sizes.

There was a choking spell earlier this morning, and Momma freaked out, running to Nana. I did the things, and he was fine; although a little mad at me from the healthy yelling I got from him.

Well, if Congress gets off its :moon: this year, it may end the whole DST thang. We can only hope. I used to be miserable with the jump ahead when I worked. :egg: specially the weekend marathon I did. Two 16 hr shifts with only 8 hours between. When I lost that hour, it was major.
:sig: you need a warehouse type building just for your projects. A place where you can haz individual stations for each project. :yes: This way there's no :electrocute: or :boom: going on accidental like. Imagine how organized and fun that would be for you to just walk from one station to the next, nothing in yer way, everything where you can see it. AND you can haz your house back for being a house to do cookin' and hosting and romancing stuffs. :thumbs:
We have a Nor'easter moving in, but it looks like it's hugging the coast just enough that we aren't gonna see it full on where I am in penciltucky. We are gonna get some :rain: though without a doubt. But, no :snowball:
So the Oscars appeared to go off without a fist a cuffs this year. :chuckle: Unless of course you listened to Chris Rock's rant on his Netflix special... gotta say the timing was definitely planned and...well....timely. :whistle:

K so I don't like guests either cuz I never feel I can get the house clean enough for 'normals'. :chuckle:
Right this moment it smells like pine sol & is relatively clean though far from dust-free or sterile. Someone could walk right in...use the bathroom (the half bath only... ours & Jacki's both have litter boxes in them :chuckle: )...hang for awhile & likely not notice that 7 cats also live here (most of them are outside). But by nightfall, or worse yet tomorrow morning, it's a whole nother story. :yucky: :rofl:
I am so glad that near miss was just that. :sparkle:
And thankful for a calm, collected & wise Nana always being there when she's needed. :wub:
And yeah...energies are :wtf: all around.
Funny tho...Opryland Hotel was busy...not crowded but very active...yet I was hardly aware of any peoples at all other than the group with us.
Invisible mode. :ghost: :rofl: Those we did interact with were quite polite as it was usually just an "Excuse me" as peoples were moving over for others. Becuz of the multi-purposeness of the place some people are strolling (like us), some are moving quickly from one place to another, & some are just hanging out on benches or whatevers. Much like a very large park.
Google says this about it:
Gaylord Opryland consists of nine acres that holds indoor garden atriums, restaurants and bars, a spa, almost 3,000 rooms, and over 170 suites. At more than 750,000 sq. ft., there is plenty of space for business conventions and special events.
They left out the water park. :rofl: And numerous waterfalls, 1/4 mile 'river' with guided boat ride, fountains & entertainers scattered here & there. :hysterical:
There was a show choir competition going on & many fancily dressed teens were scooting about hither & tither. :choir:
So I saw a report on keeping DST & it said that if we did the :sun: would not rise til 9:!2AM in Grand Rapids MI (the western edge of the Eastern Time Zone) in January. That would suck. :yes: BUT...the better option seems to be to stay in Standard TIme. :dunno:
It was still twilighty at 7PM last night. :wiggle: I has no druthers about it I just do not care for shorter daylights.
That's why we talk about moving closer to the Equator. :hysterical:
I likes the license plate. :hysterical: Either way it's read. :righton:
Freeze Warnng tonight. :shiver: Gotta go round up mini hoops & row covers for my newly planted kale, collards & parsleys. They would all be fine iffin they were well established but I figure better safe than sorry.
:magic:
:sparkle: :earth: :sparkle:
Fwiw, I am still ridiculously optimistic about the future...personally, of the USA and this entire planet without any viable reason to be so :chuckle: Keep having to tell my natural born pessimists that it's just the chaos before the calm...the falling apart so it can be rebuilt better. B reads too much :carp2b: and is surrounded by Magaheads at work so he tends to get down about the 'impending civil war' and the 'loonies running the asylum'. I repeat over & over again that they are simply louder. But they cannot 'win' as there really is no winning. There's only :love: and :heart: is the greatest power of all.

Though I does like the idea of a warehouse :wubsigh: I need more space for biggerer projects PLUS how cool would it be to build a siguie brand rocket stove and mass heater to warmz the place :happydance: PLUS I could paint the outside surfaces with self-cooling paint for passive radiative cooling and throw some solar panels on the roof and has siguie brand battery storage :happydance: PLUS a mini siguie brand :windy: pHarm :yesss: ... let's just say there's a pin in the Warehouse13 idea fer now 8)

Well the next atmospHeric river is scheduled to hit sometime tonight :frantic: and like the last one I'm betting on the :windy: to be the main issue for commuting :kickcan: Though to be fair there are atleast 2 nearby communities completely cutoff due to storm damage plus another one that is um under a few feets of water due to a breached levy. Oh and we has another :twister: warning :angel:
Also likes this morning ... :electrocute: was off ... it was many hours and likes usual I didn't really notice :muaha:
I hates to say this ... <= brazen lie ... but preparedness really does pay off :wiggle: ... like with the covid ... I mostly didn't notice or kinda enjoyed the lockdown :bliss: Now it's just :rain: with the chance of a day off :oz:
In other newses ... I'm kinda werking on texturizing tofu and adding flavour to make it more meat likes. For the most part I came up with what is essentially this video ... Tofu Meat Recipe | How to make Tofu look and taste like Chicken (https://youtu.be/r4HAeSiNg-o) ... the main difference is I make my own tofu so I can season the curds afores the pressing.
The tricky part is I want to has "oil" within the curds to add that meaty doognes but without getting in the way of the curds binding together. The answer is "lecithin" with what is essentially an emulsified salad dressing minus the acid :oz:
Anywho, I haven't tried the video recipe but the texture IS in the zone for :turkey: or (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) with very light flakiness :yes: So purty sure a few drops of durt/beet juice would salmon it up :whistle: Also lightly coated in corn starch and old bay seasoning then pan fried it is in reasonable proximity of a chicken nugget or (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) stick ... just sayin :whistle:

Though I does like the idea of a warehouse :wubsigh: I need more space for biggerer projects PLUS how cool would it be to build a siguie brand rocket stove and mass heater to warmz the place :happydance: PLUS I could paint the outside surfaces with self-cooling paint for passive radiative cooling and throw some solar panels on the roof and has siguie brand battery storage :happydance: PLUS a mini siguie brand :windy: pHarm :yesss: ... let's just say there's a pin in the Warehouse13 idea fer now 8)
Yeeeeah the grand ole opryland ... sounds nuf :yes: ... fer some :whistle: :abog:
Yeah I've neber been a fan of the oscars :dunno: the Will Smith thang was just the straw camelling thang. Yeah I lost respect for Will Smith but Chris Rock is kind of a jerk who I never cared about anywho :dunno: so all in all another doog reason not to carez about (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/oscar.gif)
Well the next atmospHeric river is scheduled to hit sometime tonight :frantic: and like the last one I'm betting on the :windy: to be the main issue for commuting :kickcan: Though to be fair there are atleast 2 nearby communities completely cutoff due to storm damage plus another one that is um under a few feets of water due to a breached levy. Oh and we has another :twister: warning :angel:
Also likes this morning ... :electrocute: was off ... it was many hours and likes usual I didn't really notice :muaha:
I hates to say this ... <= brazen lie ... but preparedness really does pay off :wiggle: ... like with the covid ... I mostly didn't notice or kinda enjoyed the lockdown :bliss: Now it's just :rain: with the chance of a day off :oz:
In other newses ... I'm kinda werking on texturizing tofu and adding flavour to make it more meat likes. For the most part I came up with what is essentially this video ... Tofu Meat Recipe | How to make Tofu look and taste like Chicken (https://youtu.be/r4HAeSiNg-o) ... the main difference is I make my own tofu so I can season the curds afores the pressing.
The tricky part is I want to has "oil" within the curds to add that meaty doognes but without getting in the way of the curds binding together. The answer is "lecithin" with what is essentially an emulsified salad dressing minus the acid :oz:
Anywho, I haven't tried the video recipe but the texture IS in the zone for :turkey: or (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) with very light flakiness :yes: So purty sure a few drops of durt/beet juice would salmon it up :whistle: Also lightly coated in corn starch and old bay seasoning then pan fried it is in reasonable proximity of a chicken nugget or (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) stick ... just sayin :whistle:

yako...Joe completely did away with Christina's happy little forecast, and the whole picture has changed. :eek: We are expecting a very blustery :snowball: storm with 3-6" in the valley, and more like 10" in the foothills. Gonna start in earnest this eveining, and carry on all through Tuesday. The danger is in the :windy: levels. We won't have visibility, and snow dunes all over the place. Folks are starting to close down. :ladybug: is supposed to go in at 8 tomorrow morning. Iffin it's doin' this, she says :nonono: she all ready warned them she won't do it. This was an extra shift she picked up and not part of her normal schedule.
:asiel: that busy/not busy feeling is eerie, I think. As if somehow, I've been placed in an alternate universe sorta vibe. I get that vibe on the Ithaca Commons sometimes when I'm up there just window lookin'. More and more it feels as though people are literally in their own world bubble, and not the larger collective world. :sofa: To make it even stranger, my house has been busy. I literally have shadow people passing around me, behind me... things are just dropping and banging (not pipes) like a pot or pan is being set down hard on the counter. There are whispy touches which is a new thing. At first I kept thinking it was just me being old. But :ladybug: has been feeling it too. I wonder if it isn't because of Buglet.
I see what you did there.. Warehouse 13 Sig. :chuckle: I loved that show. You definitely would fit right in with that. 8) (Maybe even Fringe, come to think of it.) Please keep safe from the crazy stuffs goin' on around you. Take the day off. The minions will most certainly forgives you. :hug:
I don't go for the Oscars. Or any of the award stuffs. I half way know what's goin' on with it cuz I catch it in the newses. Not a fan of Chris Rock either. But I do like to see the pretty dresses. :wub: There were some of the nicest dresses this year than I've seen in a long time. :rainbow:
I've heard that freezing tofu changes the texture, but I've never tried it. To make the fish taste, just use nori. Beets will make it pink like salmon, and strengthen the marinade. It doesn't take a lot; one beet the size of a golf ball. :thumbs:

We liked Warehouse 13, too. :righton:
And haven't watched awards shows in 20 years or so... I guess about the time we 'left' the mainstream :rofl:
And yep...bubble is a good word. :asilly:
I'm gettin those same kinda shadowy figures, more intensified in the past day or 2. Kind of a 'made ya look' kind of thing. :huh:
A couple times I've actually said, "Who is here?". :scratch: And yes, even a brushing or wispy feeling.
Truly maybe dimensions are merging/splitting/altering somehow???
I feel no fear whatsoever. No threat.
OH!! But I does keep hearing this song that I don't know... just a melody of what I want to describe as an Irish lullaby? :huh:
I wondered iffin maybe it was your mom, Pan? :dunno: Or another of Buglet's relatives on the other side.
It's a lot like when Zanna's mom kept putting Greensleeves in my head. :rofl: Once I knew... I knew. :wub: And then I could say, "Hi, Barbara. You got a message for Joe?".
I think I forgot to mention that a weekish or so ago I found 13 4 leaf clovers & 1 5 leaf clover all within a 2-5 minute span. :faint:
As quickly as I could pluck one I'd see another. :frantic: I was talking to Mom on the phone at the time & just mindlessly staring at the ground. And for some reason I didn't even feel compelled to tell her what was going on. I just kept listening to Mom & plucking away in silence. :rofl:
So yeah...still I don't get a need for chicken tofu or salmon tofu or :whatever: I likes tofu for what it is. :yes:
My favorite way to prepare/eat it is sliced thin...4 slices...and then triangles (I dunno why but triangles are better than squares, rectangles or blocks :rofl: ) ...and then I bake it on parchment paper sprinkled with whatever I feels like for the day. Usually it's garlic, turmeric, paprika (it gets so pretty :wub: ), ginger, salt & peeper. Sometimes it's Mrs. Dash or lemon pepper or even McCormick steak seasoning. Never marinated cuz it doesn't seem to crisp up as well sans oil.
And I often cook it at 425 til desired crispiness tho if other ffuts is in the oven it cooks as well (just longer) at 350 or pretty much any temperature. B likes it thin & crispy, J likes it thicker & softer. I eat it any way. Fortunately, it never slices evenly cuz the ironing (I drain it in a colander with an antique cast iron iron on top) leaves the block uneven. B usually dips it in bbq sauce. I am not a dipper. :chuckle:

Oh & smells!! :wubsigh:
I periodically smell Asian lillies (my favorite) and roses.
Separately, not together.
At Opryland Hotel I said I smelled jasmine & B was like :roll: "There's no jasmine here".
I says, "I know jasmine. I AM jasmine :chuckle: (cuz of all the tea I drink)" and I looked UP & over our heads was a ginormous jasmine tree! :wubsigh:
My sense of smell has always freaked people out & it seems to be getting stronger again as well.
Once, years ago, at my parents' lake cottage I said, "I smell a horse". Dad immediately says, "There are no horses around here" & everyone looked at me like the crazy fool they thunk I am. :rofl:
A shorta time afterwards 2 horses (with riders) went walking by on the road that was 3-400' away & they all looked at me this time like :huh: :wtf: Mom says, "You couldn't have possibly smelled them from this far away" & I says
"Yeah, that's why I said I smell a horse."

Too Ra Loo Ra Loo
I learned this song a long time ago, and I sang it to my children when they were just babes. I'm being told aren't I? :rainbow:
This is close to how I sang it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIzgSQZs3Hs&ab_channel=KennyLoggins-Topic
My mom always sang "You are my sunshine" to me. In an off chance I hear it now, I cry.
I just can't manage to sing it because of my reaction.
Dang, Asiel, you gots a ton of luck heading yer way! I neber found that many in my lifetime neverminds all at once. :faint:
Smell has always been a strong clairsentient tool for me. :ghost: can be smelly don't ya know. :chuckle: But it's not just a presence. Sometimes it's like a heads up. I haven't smelled gardenias in years, though. Which is odd because I smelled them pretty consistently usually in early spring, and they weren't blossoming up here because you know...its NY :roll:
I'm opening up agains. It's been baby steps. :hug:
Tofu. I has fun with it now. Used to be it was intimidating to me. Leam is like you. He just likes tofu as it is. :liplick:
So, we don't have all that :snowball: yet. We do have the :windy: though. It's colder than a you knows what out there! :shiver:
I'm making rice and beans with a side salad tonight. So off I :run: to the kitchen...
Happy :pie: Day!

I noes the snowfall in the mountains still has to come down.. :sigh:
:spring: :balance: :yes: I noes youse noes that. :wtf: But yes, the energeez are intensifying...the air is abuzz.
Speaking of... iffin youse amembers we losted out :bee: :bee: :candle: but then new :bee: (newbies :rofl: ) moved in last :spring:
Well yesterday I was out frolicking :bliss: and I kept hearing first, then seeing :bee: literally everywhere. :wtf:
It was windy, but sunny & it had been down to 25 degrees the night before so it seemed ddo to see so many out & about. :wtf:
So I frolicked on over to check out the hives... :wiggle:
What I saw was stunning! :faint: Both hives had 'traffic jams' at the entrance with many :bee: hanging on the front of the hives.
The air in front of them was crazy buzzzy, like when a swarm gets disturbed.
They looked like they normally do in MAY! :huh:
But ya know... a :bee: 's gotta do what a :bee: s gotta do. :bee: :bee:
I think the :sun: energy had them all astir. Plus the previous warm spell encouraged them to multiply quickly. :wtf:
If :b: can find the time he wants to split the hives before it's truly :run: time.
Elsewise, we gotta let Nature do what Nature does. :spring:
But yes... :balance: is a BIG theme right now tho so is leaving the past behind... :bye: :buttkick:
The Vernal Equinox is truly the beginning of a new year... :rstars: Thankfully, the last New Year this year. :rofl:

Right now it's 58°F and :sun: ny which should continue for tomorrow and prolly Caturday :cheer: after that ... another atmospheric river :rain: prolly hitting Monday :no:

"I noes the snowfall in the mountains still has to come down.. :sigh: "
Yeah but that's literally our summer water reserve, the melt is what keeps the reservoirs from falling when we doesn't git rain for another 6 or 7 months and that's nermal :yes:
New :bee: s :cheer: what do you mean "split them" :horror: moove them farther apart? or goes all Freddy Kruger on them :wtf: I thunked :bee: s plit themselves when a new queen shows up in a crowded hive :yes:

"The Vernal Equinox is truly the beginning of a new year... :rstars: Thankfully, the last New Year this year. :rofl: "
No you just like the concept of durt growding so arbitrarily choose the date as a new year start time. The wynter solstice makes more sense based on light percentages and is how the :moon: starts off dark while the :fullmoon: is the half way marker. You are sessentially using the first waxing quarter as the start time which makes no sensicalz whatsoeber :nono:
:flyball:
In other newses siguie's freshly cleaned solar panels are putting out ~22kW per day when :sun: ny :yesss: which means theoretically iffen I "borrow" dad's car for research porpoises I should be able to commute daily AND use all my nermal :electrocute: ffuts for free :cheer: :woohoo:
Ya noes on non-rainy days :whistle:
Also ... :tapfoot:

To split a hive you look for queen cells inside. They are different...bigger, more protected.
And you simply move a queen cell (unborn queen) into a new hive with a handful of nurse :bee: s and a couple frames from the existing hive. Voila! A new hive is begun. :sparkle:
Elsewise...once the queen cells hatch out they split themselves by swarming. A new queen moves outside & says, "Hey! Who wants to come with me?" & then they count off or somethin :chuckle: The swarm then sends scouts out looking for suitable homes (prolly how the old hives got refilled) & when one is found they signal the rest who fly in tight formation, always protecting the queen. :drama:
In other newses... I'm listening to M83. :wubsigh: They have a new album out today but last night many of the tracks were released on youtube & I got sucked in. :wub: M83 is...well... M83. :chuckle: The composer describes the music as cinematic. That's one word for it. :yes: I'd call it otherworldly. :sparkle:
This is the track playing now...

Or please don't feed the
:bsl:
So iffin one were to relocate a born queen that is akin to catching a swarm. :yes:
The only problem with that is that then you hafta be ready at a moment's notice.
Iffin you wait too long they'll :run:
Remember the year, way back, when :b: had to leave work to catch swarms? He built bee hotels out of cardboard boxes until we could get more hive boxes. :chuckle: I believe there were 5.
Anyway...that's his thang. :wiggle: I would not keep :bee: iffin he was not here. :nonono: He can do whatever he wants. :pie:
BOy oh boy oh boy...the :electrocute: in the air...more like :sparkle: :dparkle: :sparkle: .... anyway you put it the air is abuzz, and not with :bee: this time. :rofl: Tis the equinoxicals... :wtf:
And I think we'ze going car shopping...
:no:
Oh! Yesterday's trip to Murray!!! :woe: So Murray is about 55 miles away. We'd driven about 20 miles when THE road was closed. :pey: There is pretty much only one road to Murray. :chuckle: So we went the long way. :wiggle: THe scenic route. :hayseed: And an hour long trip became 2 hours...
Then on the way back it was STILL closed but this time we knew a country detour that only added 15 minutes or so to our trip. :chuckle: Seems there had been a very bad accident between a semi & 'multiple' others (According to Mom's FB reporting :laugh: ) Anyway...Mom enjoyed the day cuz what she likes best is just riding around . :chuckle: I'm more of a 'get where I'm going' person but it was allgood. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:

Anythin is possible but SARS was leaked 3 times from chinese labs and there are numerous other cases where lab leaks are pretty much the only asplination despite the ccp claims. When you look at the wuhan data the only thing that's clear is that the ccp went out of their way to make sure no one could figure anything out. However, they forgot to erase their google knockoff search engines history and you can quite easily see where the "search" for viral cures by the early victims began AND you can pretty much tell which employee was responsible.
:ooops: by "can" of course I mean "could" since the ccp has since deleted that information for whatever reason they is giving this time :roll:
Anywho considering their history of lab accidents iffen covid wasn't a lab accident it woulda been soon enough :oz:

we are having April weather in March
and a big construction site /road construction
that will take till the end of June (!!!)
in the next village with a detour that is double the distance :gaah:
of course there are shortcuts - but most locals know them
and road condition was nearly not passable after 1 week already :bawling:
:sigh:
so car gets parked at the start / end of construction and we walk home aka from home to car
through the construction ...........
and 2.5 km one way
vacation to in May to Abu Dhabi and Dubai (agins :sigh: )

I wasn't completely sure about the setup so I used reduced amps until I could verify thermal safety with my infrared camera BUT :yesss: it werks :thumbs: Those are some honking BIG :butt: cables BUT there is no significant heat generated even at the fuse panel :nono:

Anywho if needed I can charge dad's car from empty to full in under 5 hours which for home chargers is pretty darn doog ... basically high current {30A} or a little over 7kW per hour is possible but I'm running it at 3.8kW/h. :angel: I prolly wont need fast charging since my commute uses less than half the charge capacity AND the i3 has a range :egg: tender but I wanted to noes what that big plug in the laundry room could does 8)
Also based on siguie brand calculations when there's :sun: I can does a full commute AND power siguie manor roughly 8 months out of the year the other 4 are a no can does :sigh:
Yet :hmm2:

Whew! That was lots to read right now cuz I am :wtf::wtf::wtf: on the insides all wired & abuzz from the 'energies'. :wtf:
Hearing it, too. :yes:
So where to start? :scartch: Detours. :woe: Sorry :michafire: about your upcoming ongoing detour. :hugs:
Our country road detour (at one pont we got lost & when I asked google maps it said, "Cannot find a route home from where you are!". :huh: :hysterical: Rural KY/TN. :rofl: Sadly tho I read that 2 people had been killed & one seriously injured. 2 semis (! a log truck) & a pickup with numerous other vehicles damaged by 'debris'...logs, I think :dunno: . On a 2 lane country highway. :sigh:
Anyway, Pandora, we felt it the right time to unload Lucille cuz she is nearly 10 years old with just 70.000 miles but has a known transmission defect that was knocking at the door. :uhoh: She also leaked! :eek: More severely lately...from the moonroof channel down the driver side door & puddled in the floor mat. BIG puddles. :uhoh: And...B said he could commit to 48 months more before retiring which will take him to almost 67 & full SS age.
So we gots a new fambily member. :chuckle: Her name is Lola...L O L A Lola :chuckle: :sparkle:
And she is a 2022 "iconic silver" Ford Escape. :yes:
And yeah, sig, :whatever: I noes... not a hybrid, but 30 plus MPG & most importantly the price was right. :yes: Around 30% off of MSRP after multiple discounts & 1.9% for 48 months. Becuz she was new but last year's model. :yes:
She has no key, just a push button start...and I can start her from an app on my phone. :eek: Anyway, she is quite practical for our needs. She'll be great at hauling plants to a :ninja: :pirate: shop for sale or for toting the massive amounts of produce we consume. :rofl:

Happy first day of :spring: :rainbow:
Where's my 50's promised today? It's 32F :sigh: On the bright side, it's :sun: ny.
:michafire: Geesh. They gives you no good way around all that construction stuffs. So, vacation is a repeat location? What's the draw to Dubai? Any chance of France or Italy? I mean, that's where I imagine you is enjoying Southern France or Italy.
:asiel: Lola sounds like a good choice for ya'll, eben if she's not hybrid. I live hand to mouth, and there's no way I can afford a hybrid. They're still way out of my budget. :sigh:
Couldn't sleep agains last night. Tossed and turned. It's been a couple weeks now of unsettled nights. Something wicked this way comes. :uhoh: Or my anxiety is getting the best of me right now. :gaah:
Yesterday I kept smelling carnival food. :huh: It was persistent most of the day, along with people in the kitchen that weren't people. Very busy. I quipped about it to Buglet's Dad, and said it was the ancestors visiting. He said he wished he could figure out who Buglet keeps focusing on in the corner of the room. :dunno:
On with the day.... :run: house keepin' and errands await.

I think I said 'at least' 30 MPH. We've been getting 35 in the short time we've driven her.
Anyway...we're happy. :wiggle: First priority is getting :b: to retirement so lesser $$ is much better.
No more than we drive I don't worry bout environmentals. :nonono: We don't have smog. :chuckle:
In 8 years I put 70,000 miles on Lucille.
I haven't even driven her yet. :rofl: I will when I needs to go somewheres. :chuckle:
And YES, something wicked this way comes. :yes: I feels it, too. I slept like a rock last night..and slept in til 7:30...but night before I was totally wired & restlos. Tomorrow is new :moon: & I read an astrologer from the UK who in a general sense said that this week would be one to remember. :huh: Lots of electricity & fireworks in the air.
Buglet. :wub:
And yes...Dubai, India. :hysterical: Mr Fire likes familiarity, doesn't he? :sigh:
And yes, vegetable flavors. :broccoli: Ya noes, the cleaner one eats the more flavorful the vegetables become. :check:

Happy New :moon: :gstars:
Having a hard time staying grounded today.. :crazyeyes:
And dreamt of dead people last night. Butch's mom, my dad...and an uncle who is 87 but not dead. :huh:
I don't recall the details but sure do recall the people. :wub:
After I savor my sencha I am going to get Nellie out & chop up a ton of vegetables. That keeps me here & now. :sparkle:
I feel quite uneasy...a bit on the anxious side tho truly there is nothing going on, nothing wrong & absolutely nothing in my head. Yeah....door open there for :brain: slams from :sigster: . :buttkick: <---- pre-emptive buttkick.
Oh yeah... I did a 20 minute guided meditation this morning & either I fell asleep of drifted way way up & out (same thing, I reckon) cuz I truly missed the whole middle of the meditation. :wtf: Quite strange.
Maybe my energy is just being needed 'elsewhere'. :sparkle:

"Just how spicy is that stuffs Sig. I can't do spicy well. :uhoh: "
Depends how muches you add but not very :dunno: it's a flavorant for that classic fermentedness that you git in Korean doof ... to add heat :heat: you typically add korean chili flakes or powder :yes: like what you use to make kimchi :oz:
There are simply a large number of korean sauces that use this ingredient ... Gochujang Paste vs. Gochujang Sauce and Best Korean Recipes With It (https://www.sidechef.com/articles/1511/gochujang-sauce/) ... basically this is the one ring to control all the others :angel:
Think of doof like Korean Bibimbap ... the biblim means mixed and bap means cooked steamed rice. It's an easy to prepare korean classic ... basically 1 to 5 fresh, steamed or whatever ingredients are placed on top of a big bowl of steamed rice and "THE Sauce" poured over. Ya then biblim {mix} and devour :happydance: It's quick easy and easily made healthafying :yes: PLUS for lunch I just nuke the rice and sauce add ... sprouts, nappa cabbage or even kale pour over the sauce AND it's delicious :liplick: Of course I usually add siguie brand :turkey: pork or :cow: BUT the point is gochujang gives it a korean flare. A simple shozu or stock would make it a Japanese donburi or just a sweet BBQ sauce for an americanized taste is all doog.
Anywho iffen you and youse like the vegetational flavours that yer :mushrooms: overlords demand that's fine :sockpuppet: doog flavour isn't a necessity ... ya noes for some :whistle:
"I think I said 'at least' 30 MPH. We've been getting 35 in the short time we've driven her."
Yeah but I thunked it was a "new" -ish small car :dunno: Thangs like the 2011-ish Volkswagon Up or the ~2015 Susuki Celerio had ICE {internal combustion engines} in the 50+ mpg. I noes 'cuz I looked at them when I thunked Gideon's sub 40 mpg was costing me monies :fist:
Anywho 35mpg for a new tiny car kinda sucks :unthumbs:
"Oh yeah... I did a 20 minute guided meditation this morning & either I fell asleep of drifted way way up & out (same thing, I reckon) cuz I truly missed the whole middle of the meditation. :wtf: "
Ideally that's how they are supposed to werk :yes: "Guided" meditations are just training wheels once yer :brain: figures out how thangs are supposed to werk it can ditch them :buttkick:

So as much as I appreciate the congrats on yer new vehicle :roll: ...it's not a tiny car it's a compact SUV. Besides dumping Lucille the other main objective was something roomy enough to take Mom & even ZA along. She seats 5 comfortably as long as they are not overly large (wide) peoples. Plenty of leg room front & back. Lucille only fit one 4'9" Jacki in the back. :rofl:
Anyway...she's ours. You can continue to tell me what we should have done if it pleases you. :chuckle: :pie:
Dang those sky rivers just don't stop. :faint: I saw where at least 2 reservoirs were overflowing for the first time in over 40 years. :faint: Hope you make it round the fally trees & sliding mud once again. :sparkle:
K, as for energies... yesterday I popped out of bed at 5AM after having gone to bed at 9PM. Slept like a rock. :zzz:
Today, I slugged out of bed at 8AM after having gone to bed at 9PM. Again slept like a rock but was aware of more dreaming. :wtf:
Crazy. :crazyeyes:

They will call in a couple days with an amount so we can start lining up a roofer & then send a check within 3 weeks. Or he says, "You can do it yourself & pocket the difference.". :nonono: :rofl:

It's warm, too. :bliss: 70ish.
Tomorrow is when that giant 'hole in the sun' is apposta affect :earth: too. :sofa:
I saw where there was a :twister: spawned by your fuji-bomb And F1 near LA. :uhoh:
But it could be worse. We could live in Floriduh! :scared: They are dealing with red tide...a giant sargassum invasion...and now I see where one county is quarantined due to GALS...Giant African Land Snails! :aaahhh:
Oh & spring breakers! :horror: Miami actually has imposed a midnight curfew due to 2 shootings. :sigh:
Oh & I feel for you in dealing with the veggie arrests. :chuckle: My sister has now bought Mom not one, but TWO different raised bed kinda things... one of them wooden, on legs. The other is a metal 'pen'. But guess who hasta plant them? :asilly:
Mom doesn't give a :carp: about gardening (tho she sure wants her yard to look nice :chuckle: ) :papa: was the gardener, both veggies & flowers/yard. Mom was just the assistant...sometimes. :rofl: She'd really rather not mess up her nails. :rofl:

Well the warmz is the Gulf moisture which humidifies yer area to make it the HELL it is but when the cold front comes a knocking that's when thangs will get interestin :uhoh: There are still thousands of peoples here that are :electrocute: los :horror: so keep yer powerbanks handy and powered up :flex:
It looks like you can mostly :egg: pect serious gully washing but there are :twister: alerts popping up too :frantic:
Stay safe :candle:
And I thinxz Pan is gonna be cold for a while longer :shiver: :horn: stay warmz !!! :campfire:
Oh yeah we's been getting a few :twister: s lately :yes: nuthin serious serious :nono: but when eber a funnel cloud appears it makes the news even if it neber touches down :nono: The kalipHorniya geograpHy makes it tough for them thangs to persist even when they really REALLY want to ... all of the hills and mountains :buttkick: them thangs. It's the wide open plains which feed them :yes:
As for the veggie jail system ... the planting is basically done by dad 'cuz Apparently 1 I neber does it right :roll: and he likes that part. So my boj will be to pull up the automatic watering ffuts, quick till and amend the bed, UN-tangle the knotzilla in the grow tent and moob the plants to the vegetable garden's waiting area. Dad's the warden and he has to decide which inmate goes in which cell. This generally takes a day or two of musical chairs followed by a day or two of depotting and another day or two to get the watering system just right. Though the watering system might take longer than nermal ... eberythang is sooo wet and it should rain agin next week so :dunno:
Oh why not build mom a little hydroponic system :yes: Dad is always going back and forth between durt and hydroponics BUT hydroponics produces the best :tomatoe: s :yes: Unfortunately thangs like beets ... while they "can" does very well hydroponically ... they is too much trouble and like :tater: s just easier to durt grow :sigh:

I saw that Ryan Hall video. :eek: I'm seeking to :run: to Martin for groceries in between the rain drops. :umbrella:
It just rained...HARD...but big fat drops that seemed to be 2 feet apart. :huh: And those intermittent blasts like the sheets of rain you see when driving. :wtf:
Yesterday Ryan had this round of rain being north of us. In KY. But it seems to be southerer than expected according to the radar
But still the worst is due much later today & tonight. Accuweather says I gots a good chance at being mostly dry between 9 & 1 & then the wind: :blowme: advisory kicks in at 1.
And why groceries today???
For 4x fuel points of course! :woe: :bsl:
That's why I had to do the run around felled :treehug: about 3 Fridays ago...when our roof was borked as well. :yes:
But 4x fuel points is worth it. :yes: I had $2.40 off per gallon this month. :cheer: you can only use $1 off & get 35 gallons each time.
So today iffin I spend $150 that's 600 points or 60 cents more off per gallon. :cheer: Iffin I'd shopped yesterday that same $150 would be 150 points & only yield 10 cents off (multiples of 10 only). So in that example it is actually more than 4x. :cheer:
Knotzilla... :hysterical: Too bad your dad doesn't has a gardener. :whistle: :hysterical: I noes... certain things have to be done certain ways & only by trusted (mucho experienced) fambily. :hi5:
And Mom does NOT want any hydroponic anything. :no:
She does not even want the ONE houseplant she has. :rofl:
She left her tomatoes & peepers hanging to rot on the vine/stem last year.
I'd comment on them being ripe & she'd say, "You take it. I don't want it.".
She's just like her dad. :righton: It's more obvious since my dad has been gone. But my late grandmother had beautiful flowers & abundant gardens. :wubsigh: She got 'Yard of the Month' from the garden club every year she lived there. :drama:
And Buddy (my grandfather) tilled & mowed & weedeated & basically did whatever she told him to. :rofl:
But after she died he mowed. And that was it. No...he did keep the weeds trimmed but he also mowed down or weedeated every lily or daffodil or iris or anything else that was in his way. :rofl:
K...it's pouring again. :woe: Gotta :check: the radar & jump in the shower :umbrella:
Then find out how Lola likes the rain... :rofl: At least I know (I hope!) that she won't leak like Lucille did. :yesss:

B got his cholesterol numbers today. :whatever:
It has been 2 months since he went back on the :horror: statin.
Total cholesterol 131 (150-200)
Trig 193 (0-150)
HDL 43 (40-60)
LDL 37 (100-129)
The HDL came up over 40 for the first time ever. :cheer: I believe that's becuz I've been feeding him more bits of avocado, walnuts, olives & other meager amounts of healthy fats. It was 36 before & the doc said the statin would not affect that...that it was the "hereditary part". :dunno:
The LDL had risen to 69 (cardiac patients are supposed to be below 70) & I figure the statin accounts for the drop there.
The triglycerides :whatever: It's fruit. :yes: And even the cardiologist is not at all concerned about the number.
He's been feeling great. :cheer:
But while we're on the subject...
just yesterday he talked to Accredo, his dermatologist's office AND Otezla. Seems he's reached the max payout for their patient assistance program & we don't qualify for the low income assist. So now they want him to pay $3000+ each month up front & then wait for partial reimbursement from Otezla after the insurance pays their part. :wtf: It will still likely cost $3-500 a month out of pocket.
He's not gonna do it. :no:
So... I was reading that there is axsully some studies showing that statins improve psoriasis. :dunno:
You knows anything about that?
Cuz he's either gonna cold :turkey: it & see what happens now that he's been WFPB for nearly a year. Or he's gonna switch to another med.
I say take nothing (psoriasis-wise) at least throughout the summer & then see what happens. Maybe between the diet & the meds the psoriasis triggering gene has switched off. :sparkle: There's always the biologics out there should he ever get real bad again.

Quick :hello: before I takes :ladybug: to werk.
We gots bad newses yesterday about Finn. There's stuffs going on. He's pre-diabetic, has lost weight, and the c word has now entered the picture. Needless to say, :ladybug: isn't handling any of it well. Finn is 8 years old. All this from a lump behind his ear. :( We have to wait for more testing because he's been put on steroids to treat the lump. We'll know for sure in about 3 wks.
Our weather is :shiver: and :rain: and just plain gloomy. The :blowme: is picking up too. Kinda looks like the coming week is gonna be more of the same, but the temps will come up more.
A chocolate factory in Reading PA :boom: It was severe, leveling the factory itself, and causing a neighboring building to move 4 ft off it's foundation. :eek: 2 dead, 9 missing at this point. :candle:
Mississippi had a deadly :twister: yesterday. It's claimed at least 24 souls so far. :candle:
So all this doom and gloom happening all at once yesterday. :uhoh: I slept like a rock last night. I done think the something wicked may have passed. :sigh:
I'm :( for :ladybug: It looks like she's having one of those years. Anyways, all this doom and gloom..So sorry. Hopefully, I shall come back with good stuffs later to make up for it.

mood and moolg. :woe: It's everywhere you look. :sigh:
Some days I can get sucked into the sadness...some days I cannot.
Today is the latter. :wiggle:
So sorry to hear about Finn. :wub: I surely understand. :yes: Did they tells you that the steroids may make him pee like a racehorse. :uhoh: Chico never peed in the house til he was put on steroids & then man oh man...gallons! :faint:
Sig, this is the same cardiologist...just a relayed message this time. He doesn't know what he thinks. :rofl: He initially told us he didn't believe much in the statin-for-everybody philosophy & that he wasn't at all concerned with B's cholesterol levels.
Then...after he surprisingly found a 100% blockage plus the other 45% he SUDDENLY changed his tune. Now he thinks it's vitally important. :crazyeyes:
Anyway... B has one month's worth of Otezla left. Maybe he will gradually stop it. :dunno:
And elsewise he is gonna be slower about getting off the other meds. He needs a good long stretch of incidentlosness. :sparkle:

Uh I kinda suspect it's one of those lives :whistle:

No up makin needed :nono: coming back though is always a joyous event :choir: :gstars: Srsly :yes:
"Then...after he surprisingly found a 100% blockage plus the other 45% he SUDDENLY changed his tune. Now he thinks it's vitally important. :crazyeyes: "
Um that reversal makes perfect sensicalz :whistle: You really need to learn what and why cholesterol is needed in the hooman body, then why high levels are sometimez desireable AND when they is not :nono:
Ultra endurance athletes tend to have :egg: tremely high cholesterol due to very high fat diets. They also very very rarely have any types of blockages. Basing statin needs on LDL levelz is a way to asses lifestyle characteristics for the completely average patient by doctors who :egg: pect every patient to be the same. The majority of cardiovascular patients are overweight, sedentary and often come with other issues like diabetes. THESE are the people where you see high LDL and prescribe a statin and that makes sensicalz :yes: Iffen :b: is as thin and muskular :flex: as you've said a statin is not warranted :nono: UNLESS ya finds reduced flow or worser blockages :horror:
The reduced flow is the main reason a statin would be warranted :yes: Typically this begins as LDL gits "sticky"this is when various factors like too muches sugar/carbs make LDL stick to the endothelial walls narrowing the vascular bits THEN high :cow: meat and oils prevent NO production from the endothelials and inflammation vasoconstricts the already narrowed pipes and then you git thangs like the angina :no:

So if it's an oil soluble nutrient then how does it work in an oillos person?
I noes about coq10. We both took it years ago when we were connected with one of those direct sales nutritional companies.
And he took it for a few months before even going to the cath lab. I had a 'hunch'. :pie:
I mentioned it but he says "my doctor (doctor Esselstyn) says nothing other than a B12 is necessary.". :woe:
Sig, we eat a ridiculous amount of vegetables & fruits. :faint: Mom trips out every time she goes shopping with me. She says, "And this is really just for one week?". :chuckle: Over half of a large shopping cart is filled before I leave the produce section. :yes:
And...I know I told this several times afore but he was told he had sticky cholesterol over 10 years ago. :yes: That's when we stopped eating pork & beef (me totally, him mostly). That was 2012 & the first step in keeping him alive. :shera:
Anyway...we are all feeling better & better. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
So the :twister: :twister: just south of here has been verified as an ER4. 166-200 MPH! :faint:
And it tore through a 170 mile track. :faint:
Incredible.

Water soluble nutrients are more easily absorbed by the body, and the excess is gotten rid of through the kidneys. However, oil soluble nutrients are absorbed into fat layers and stored there. A build up of these nutrients in fat can be toxic if too much is absorbed because of the length of time they're stored in fat. A, D, E, and K are fat soluble. The other vitamins are not. So it's not about oil, it's about absorption in balanced doses. I think I'm remembering this right. :hmm2: Sig will correct me if I'm not. :thumbs:

I am not opposed to a supplement & he'll take whatever I get him :chuckle: BUT... the ones that are supposed to be 'best'...Quonol, Life Extension ubiquinol... have palm oil, sunflower oil &/or coconut oil in them. :woe:
I'd rather he eat a piece of salmon a week than take oils. :crazyeyes: Last night we had mujadara again. Brown rice always.
Oh & he's not. Eating salmon, that is. I axshully bought some when he thunk he needed it but it's still in the freezer. :fishhat:

:scratch: "Production" is purty much genetics and age related as far as I noes ... do you mean "absorption"? :dunno: 'cuz the reduced version is 8 times better absorbed but neither is particularly doog without oil.

Ya noes CoQ10 was just an :egg: ample right 'cuz the enzyme the body uses to make cholesterol is also used to 'make' it's own CoQ10. Also you was talking about psoriasis and CoQ10 is one of them thangs used to treat severe psoriasis so I thunked perchance ya noed it :roll:
In any event the point is that ebery drug takes a toll and has an effect on the bodies :balance: Ya might want to look at the ones he's taking and see where the :balance: ought to be and perchance fix it with vegetational therapies :roll:

Unfortunately that's a common event for non-dissipating clots and it's what causes :heart: attacks and strokes :horror: as near as I can find reversing calcified plaques involves absorption through the arterial membrane and not an erosion or ablative process.

We went to the ER. :sigh: Called the cardiologist's office first but they said go to the ER.
They did an x ray, bloodwork, gave him an IV muscle relaxer (which didn't work, at least at first)...
All checked out good! :cheer: The doc (who was quite thorough) sid he was certain as could be that it was musculoskeletal.
But he also said we did the exact right thing by coming in, given his history. And he said don't hesitate to come back if it were to worsen or change in any way.
But funny thing was that after we got home the pain pretty much subsided. :faint: When we went to bed he said he still felt it a bit, but nowhere near as intense as it had been. And today he has texted & says he feels like a new man! :cheer:
And I knew you'd balk at the word "production". :woe: I took it straight from a medical website cuz I couldn't come up with a terminology that you'd not argue. :chuckle: I know :therethere: Doctors & medical peoples are NOT sighentists. :pie:
Speaking of tho, the ER doctor asked if I was a medical professional. :chuckle: He says, "You are quite knowledgeable & very well-spoken." I laughed & told him how I gotted my 'degree' & how that I was still quite new to cardiology.
So in other newses... I thunk this was pretty funny: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/scientists-grow-a-mammoth-meatball-but-are-too-afraid-to-eat-it/ar-AA19aoph?cvid=7c4eaaafde9d4c44ac6e555ce5f0d620&ei=14

We're due to receive your leftovers in the form of storms :rain: on...
yep, Friday! :faint: This will be 3 Fridays in a row I think...then we skipped a Friday but the Friday before that was the big one with the :twister: . Or somethin like that. :huh: But always on Fridays. :wtf: There's gotta be a Greek word for fear of Fridays. :woe:
K, I googled & can't find on so I'm going with friggaphobia. Short & simple, relatively speaking.
And as for your rural doctor :smate: :butt: comment... doctors in Ohio often thunk I was a doctor, too. :drama:
I may not be smate as a kemikill genieass, but I outsmates most ordinary folks. :nana:
Coulda been smarter iffin I hadn't been so stoopid. :rofl: I never studied & often cheated in reverse (porpoisely put wrong answers) so I wouldn't get the highest score (again! :woe: ) & get groaned at by the others in the classes.
Anyway... I digress (Zanna line :wub: )
Costochondritis is what B thunk he had when he first started hasing chest pains back at the nursery. :yes:
Which is another reason I pushed for him to go to ER. I'd heard the 'pulled muskel' or costochondritis story before.
He did score a bottle of ketorolac 10 mg from his visit. :chuckle: He hasn't taken any (tho they gave it to him in IV) but I remembered a certain someone saying not to turn down a prescription...get it & store it for emergencies. It is expensive. :faint: Our co-pay was $24 for 10 tablets. I have no idea what the actual cost woulda been.
Durt Mama leaves for DC on a bus ( :eek: ) tomorrow. :no:
The goodest thing about these bus trips is that she's now wearing compression socks regularly. :righton:
Cuz the first trip she did not & her ankles & feets swelled horribly bad & left her nearly walklos one day.
And then she realized that the socks axshully work. :crazy: She's a stubborn mama. :rofl:
So B now has a small handful of guys at work who are becoming more & more curious about his medical condition & his diet.
(The triage nurse was extraordinarily curious about it, too as people are stunned to hear he has no stents). He gave this one dude an orange cranberry muffin & the guy was "blown away" he says. Could not believe there was no :egg: , no oil, no refined sugar.
So the dude asked if I'd make some for him to share with his girlfriend. He offered to pay. :chuckle: And asked if I'd be willing to share the recipe. :yes: So I did. And I did.
And bit by bit hard core southern eaters begin to become curious.
B's officemate eats triple,wide slice, bologna & individually wrapped processed American cheese food on Wonder bread with mayo every single day (he makes his sammiches at his desk :chuckle: ). B says he's about 6'6" & weighs at least 300, prolly more. His girlfriend just had gastric bypass surgery which means she was obese as well. Anyway... Johnny, who B thinks of as a "good dude", has also been asking more & more questions. He admits that his own cardiovascular health is a nagging concern as he is now 40.
And now that his girlfriend is gonna be drastically changing her lifestyle...
Peoples round here don't know what healthy eating is. :nonono: A "healthy eater" is a kid who eats the one pound burger at Wimpy's & gets his picture on the wall. :sigh: And if you dare 'diet' you just eat salads (with ranch dressing, of course :chuckle: ) with your bbq or buy all the 'low-fat' & 'sugar-free' versions of processed ffuts at the store.
As I load up my cart with fresh produce, 90% of the shoppers just grab a green pepper or a small bag of salad or bag of :tater: & cruise on by.
It's very rare that I see another person axshully shopping produce as I do. And oftentimes other customers or cashiers will ask "how do you fix that?" .. :huh: That means how do you prepare it, or how do you cook it. :p
But most people don't wanna 'give up' their boxes of frozen sausage & biscuits or frequent fast foods or whatevers.
Even the triage nurse said, "I don't think I could live without my cheeseburgers". B replied, "It's easy to let that go when it becomes a matter of literally living or dying.". She says, "Maybe so.". But still it didn't click.
Anyway... I've rambled enough for one day. :rofl:
Gonna go see if I can help Mom finish getting ready in any way. :wiggle:

Healthy eating was sorta second nature growing up in a little country village. We grew all our veggies, had fruit trees and berry bushes all over the place. There was always hunting and fishing, and buying fresh stuffs from the local farmers. Not much with the pre-made or packaged meals. We went to the grocery store to get stuffs maybe twice a month, which was a big deal. Snacks were climbing apple, black cherry, and pear trees or picking blueberries, blackberries and munching on them right then and there; which was a problem, cuz we were supposed to bring a decent amount home, not eat them. :ashamed: Did the same thing with the garden too. I loved raw peas. I ate a good amount of them before they got into the house. I wasn't a good choice for shelling peas. :laugh: Being raised in a 1st generation Italian family/community, we were eating mediterranean before it was a thing.
Phobias. All sorts of 'em. The only one I knowed of for Friday was Friday the 13th. :uhoh:
Speaking of phobias, :ladybug: is dragging me out to do errands. :no:

We ate real food. Home growed, mostly. But laden with milk & butter & :egg: and meat. Fried meats, often. Vegetables seasoned with lard or :bacon: grease. My grandparents would not have eaten a green unless it was cooked with fat back. :eek:
'Real', southern food. And I believe that food was not so artery-clogging in my ancestors becuz they worked HARD every day. Never stopped moving from morning to night. Milked the :cow: before making biscuits, sausage & eggs every single day.
Then out to the gardens til time to cook dinner, the biggest meal of the day. Oftentimes grandmother would pick the ffuts we were to eat right after breakfast. Biiiig dinner (which was lunch) at noon with half a dozen pork fat seasoned vegetables, cornbread AND biscuits, some sort of grease-gravy & usually pork in some form or fashion. Always followed by homemade blackberry cobbler or scratch cakes or pecan pie...whatever was on hand.
Then...the table was cleared of dirty dishes & the food was covered with a large tablecloth until supper. :yes: All was eaten room temperature unless it was chilly & then maybe the gravy or other fatty ffutses was reheated. :chuckle:
And don't forget the gallons of sweet tea! :woe:
Problem is, people here still eat that way but no longer MOVE. I truly believe that movement is as important as diet when it comes to calcification of arteries as well as diabetes.
Sadly, we can't eat at a diner any more at all cuz even the vegetables are all drenched in pork fat or cheap cooking oil. Oftentimes seasoned with added white sugar as well. :sigh:
And we found out Monday that the ONLY vegetarian, healthy restaurant in Paris is permanently closed. :woe:
Shopping! :frantic: I'm thinking of foregoing the 4x fuel point Friday in favor of going tomorrow so as to avoid the crowd & impending storm this week. :umbrella:

My Mom's side was southern. Certain stuffs sneaked in, :egg: specially if we were eatin' at her parents house. Then we got treated to pan fried fish, hushpuppies, cornbread, biscuits with gravy, etc. So I knows what yer sayin' there. But mostly the Italian cuisine ruled over all. Grandma made lunch the main meal too. I agree :asiel: movement is equally as important as diet. One doesn't do without the other. If we were snackin' over a moobie or just a hot summer evening, we had what we called pick plates. Loaded with raw sliced veggies, fresh fruit, and there was a small plate of cheddar cheese cubes with hard pepperoni. But Mom's sweet tea prevailed on those nights. :thumbs:
So, we goes out on the errands-formula, diapers, baby wipes-and the formula :ladybug: uses literally went up $15 from the previous week. :faint: She had a $15 coupon, but still.... :eek: She's so frustrated. The inflation is drowning us. :gaah:

I am spending at least 50% more on the same thangs & it's really frustrating. Thankful we're able to cover the increase but frustrating cuz that's money that could go to oh so many other necessary things...like new plastic on my Dance Hall or new flooring for the house.
Can :ladybug: not get SNAP? We had it for a few months when B was laid off from the nursery & it was a godsend. :yes:
I think Jacki oughta qualify now but it's based on household income, not individual. It was a simple application online & then a card came in the mail in short order.
Wicked storms coming this way again tomorrow. :sigh: Intensified by the :sun: energy no matter what the :smateypants: says.
So I gotta do the shopping thing now. :wiggle: Just finished my digital coupons. :eip: One can axshully get quite doog deals at Kroger but they sure make ya work for it. :matt:

:asiel: She does, or did, but now she's workin' and so it is likely going away. :sigh: What is really a struggle is the cash expenses like the diapers, etc. that really takes a toll.
It's :shiver: here. Almost 10am and only 26F. Tomorrow is promising highs in the mid 50s. I'm so ready for at least high 50s to mid 60s.
Saturday is Lauren's benefit over in Corning. :ladybug: has been in the sad/angry mode of grieving her. I think the benefit will help a lot with that. Help her move forward into acceptance and fond memories. It's Lauren's hubby that I feel a great amount of sympathy for. He is now a single Dad with a newborn and a 3 yr old, and crushing medical debt. I do hope the benefit helps alleviate some of that.
This is the month I do seeds! :cheer: I'm thinking way ahead of myself as usual. Lets see...tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, scallions, radishes, and some assorted greens to include kale and spinach. :liplick: No carrots. :nonono: They grow terrible and look like stunted, twisted, frankenstien mutants. :uhoh: Then there's the herbs. Italian basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, and I don't know what else but maybe more. :bliss: I'm so ready for the growing to begin, and to be out socializing with the bumbly bees, snakes, birds, and dragonflies. :wub:

We have :carp: y carrots, too. I even tried doing them in large pots last year and they were still knobby.
I've yet to start my summer stuffs...zucchini, cukes, squash. My first tomatoes are in 4" pots & nearly a foot tall already :ashamed:
and the second run are flatted in 36s (6 6-pack flats) & are just 3-4" tall, Same with peepers, hot & mild. They are flatted & 3-4" tall.
Got lettuce & radishes in the ground. Oughta get some kale in the ground. :ashamed: I've got flatted kale, sitting outside...hydro-kale...'leftover' kale in a plastic strawberry container that is taking off :run: , and baby kale in a pot. :rofl:
I saw an Indian man starting coriander (cilantro) he called it and he took a LOT of seeds & soaked them in water for an hour or so...then spread them out on damp paper towels & wrapped the bundle tight with foil. In 2-3 days he opened it up, had sprouted seeds & then sowed them quite thick in a windowsill pot. I'm a gonna do it like that cuz there's no reason I should hafta buy sad, grocery store tasting cilantro. :nonono: Ever. Same with herbs. I'm determined to keep the basics going year-round. It's just a matter of planning (and of course implementation of said plans :rofl: ). Basil, oregano (and tho that's a perennial & I have a good stand I had (past tense) windowsill oregano a couple years ago that was excellent for snipping...same with thyme), cilantro... year round! (Talking to myself now :hysterical: )
:gstars: :ladybug: :gstars: I can't imagine having a newborn today, for many reasons. :shera:

Glad I gotted my groceries tho. We've already had a round of fireworks at around 1AM and then another one at 6:30ish.
They say they are moving really fast :run: which is good on one hand cuz they hit & run. :run: But bad on the other cuz there's little warning. :sofa:
Super loud thunder & light-up-the-whole-sky lightning! :yes:
And the worstest is not due until tonight sometime... I still haven't seen a timing on the yet-to-form squall line but I WILL keep an eye on it.

I think we've dodged the :twister: tho they sure swirled all around. I tracked one that did damage in Little Rock then went north of Memphis through Humboldt (where B worked at Dana), Milan (the nursery), Huntingdon (just south of us). It seemed to have lots it's :twister: & just remained BIG water when it gotted north of Jackson.
There are still a few widely scattered nasty cells SW of us & then a final squall line to pass through between 11 & 12.
It's been a wild afternoon tho. :wtf:

Well iffen by "fixes: you mean fuses into fulgurites then yes I suppose in a million years or so perchance someone will git a tiny bit of free fertilizer ... :woohoo: otherwise I'm betting on yer :brain: werked really hard on sumthin then came up with :carp: and mistooked it for fertilizer :moon:

:nonono: My former meteorologist in Cleveland taughted that. :p
He always said, 'if you think it looks greener after a thunderstorm, that's becuz it IS'.
Lightning can also fix nitrogen. The high temperature of a lightning bolt can break the bonds of atmospheric nitrogen molecules. Free nitrogen atoms in the air bond with oxygen in the air to create nitrogen oxides, which dissolve in moisture to form nitrates that are carried to Earth's surface by precipitation.
From Nova :roll: https://tn.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/nves.sci.earth.nitrate/lightning-produces-nitrates/
It was a wild night. :witchfly: We did have a :twister: warning from 10-10:30PM for our location (According to Weather Channel :chuckle: ) but I saw the radar & we went to bed at 10:15. :rofl: Most of the heavy rains missed us as well. :cheer:

Asiel doesn't even dispute that the ionized nitrates are in the air thanks to the lightning. And iffin you look, you'll see that the steps are laid out. Also read the dang article. I did. It's the important ROLE that lightning plays that she was stressing.

QuoteLightning Produces Nitrates - For Teachers
Here are some of the main ideas students should take away from this video:
Satellites orbiting Earth, such as NASA's TRMM spacecraft, observe the distribution and frequency of lightning strikes across the planet. On average, there are about 40 lightning strikes worldwide each second and more than 3 million strikes each day.
Energy from sunlight creates water vapor that can form into thunderclouds. Collisions between different cloud particles produce a buildup of static electricity, which can lead to lightning.
A lightning bolt is extremely hot—five times hotter than the surface of the Sun—and powerful enough to produce nitrate. When a lightning bolt travels through the atmosphere, its energy can break apart molecules of nitrogen in the air; free nitrogen atoms bond with oxygen to create nitrate.
Nitrate is an essential nutrient for living things and is commonly found in fertilizers. It is critical for building plant structures as well as human proteins and DNA.
In a single day, lightning bolts can produce over 10,000 tons of nitrate. Nitrate dissolves in water droplets and falls to the ground in rain, where it is absorbed by plants and enters the food chain.[/b]

I has so much to :blah: tonight. Be afraid; be very afraid. :muaha: :rofl:
:sigster: :horn: Veganism ain't an eating disorder. However there are vegans who do have eating disorders specific to the diet. This disorder is caught under the umbrella term Orthorexia. Mostly you see this happen when you get more towards raw vegan diets, folks who already have a history of significant OCD or other eating disorders. Example: A vegan who refuses to eat any foods that have been prepared or cooked in utensils that have been used at any time to cook dead flesh. I say it that way for a reason. I could easily turn the tables here, and counter that anyone who is compelled to eat the dead flesh of our fellow creatures on a daily basis has an eating disorder. :nana: Sure, you can tell me how its part of a gazillion year human history. I invoke the Mommy quote. "Just because everybody does it, doesn't make it right." :naughty:
That tofu sigue recipe does sound :liplick: I'm happy to hear about the drought not being a drought as much. I'm also happy you and Dad survived all that :uhoh: weather. :hug:
:michafire: I'm so glad to see you check in. Sounds like you're getting the same kind of unsettled weather we are. I keep thinking about that whole construction business you were facing. Is that still going on? If it is, no wonder you're so tired. I would be. :hug:
:asiel: I know it's been awful for the folks around you, but I can't help but be relieved that you and yours were kept safe from it all. :hug: I would literally be beside myself if anything happened to you. I've decided you must be like Methuselah. I get to go first. I'm older, so you got no choice. :drama:
I'm still struggling with the whole sleep thang too. :sigh: Kinda like a boil :hmm2: All that pain and pressure just sitting there. Wishing it would just pop open and let out all of the poison and the core. Instant relief from that steady uncomfortable pressure...(okay so that was a really gross analogy :yucky: but I'm leavin' it there.)
Remember, our resident genius is 8 yrs old by his own confession. :roar: But gosh, I still :wub: him. Every once in a while, like most geniuses that I've known, he :run: like a :bat: out of h-e- double hockey sticks. I've become rather enamored by a character played by Rob Lowe in a new series called Unstable. My first response was, "That's Sig!" :rainbow: The series is on Netflix. Take a look at this, and tell me I'm wrong. :chuckle:

Weather: A wall of severe thunderstorms moving in from the west at 50 mph has been interestin'. Wind upwards of 65mph which is almost but not quite a :twister: (It's called a Gale Tornado, I kid you not. :laugh:) It was enough to scoop up :kitty: Chloe before she flew away. For once she was not unhappy about being put inside. Saving Jesse's trash bins (neighbor) as they toppled over, and putting them up close near the Yews (great wind breakers). Then actually having my lights flicker. This is a very rare thing because as I've mentioned (prolly a gazillion times) We are on the :shera: substation that never goes out. Bunches of folks have lost their power all through the Twin Tiers. All we got was a flicker. 8) Before alla this, we had a sunny 70F day goin' on. It was lovely. But, like the typical catholic girl raised in guilt and gloom, I knew we were gonna pay for it. :laugh: It was pretty fast moving, and all the alerts have been called off. :thumbs:
As Asiel mentioned, the former president who must not be named is wanted in NY. However, DeSantis says Florida will not cooperate with extradition. Like I didn't see that coming. :roll: Does he realize he can't do anything about it? "Idjit" as Bobby Singer would say.
yako...enough :blah: :angel:

Idjit as Zanna :banana: would say. :wub: :bsl:
Much to reply to... :rofl:
First, :thanks: for hasing my back. :righton: I gots a quote to share from my Zen page-a-day...
I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.
Albert Einstein :nana:
:hi5:
Methuselah :hippy: :righton: B promises not to die so we start with that. :chuckle:
And 20+ years ago a psychic told me that "you & your daughter will live to very ripe old ages". :yes: She didn't mention B which bothered me at the time, but like Jen I think he already 'left' in 2012 & bypassed early exit at least a couple times. :faint:
Of course, nobody knows for sure which I believe is a good thing, but I have a crazy feeling like I'm just getting started. :asilly:
Chloe :blowme: :bsl:
And yes, I noed a vegan once who only ate :pizza: and :fries: . For reals. She didn't like vegetables. :woe:
I've stopped counting proteins or other nutrients & instead going on good ol fashioned irrational (thanks, Einstein) mind & how we feels. :shera: Jacki just had a wellness visit & not only was her BP down for the first time since maybe midddle school, her weight is back to middle school levels & I don't see her ever having pancreatitis again unless she takes up drinking :nonono: :chuckle: The PA was seriously impressed about how much better she looked overall...how much improved her mobility is.
:b: no longer craves meat or :carp: <--- fish, not crap :rofl: He still cheats with an occasional :fries: or tortilla chip or :tater: chip when at Mom's.
I saw a WFPB dude who called himself a "futurist". I liked that. :righton: Labels are just that...labelling. :rofl:
Anyway.... gonna go clean up Mom's yard today (she's still in DC) & then on Tuesday/Wednesday we gots another storm, hailed to be stronger than the last) coming our way. The only thing that makes me nervous about that one is that Mom & ZA will be on a bus on I 40 from Knoxville to here on Wednesday. :sparkle:
Beautiful sunny blue skied 70 degree day ahead...
Find me here: :bliss: :farmninja:

March has been very wet and a few days with thunderstorms
though very short lived they were awesome lightning-wise
that road construction/bridge repair is still ongoing until the end of June :faint:
and another one starting middle of April at the street right in front of our house
up and down hill from there ...
not sure if we can even park the car over the weekend in our garage then.
Sp far we park it for the night behind the construction -
which is about 2,2 km from home
And walk to and back from there every work day.....

That's :crazy: , Michaela. :therethere:
What about people (thinking bout my mother or daughter here) who cannot walk that far?
This too shall pass tho. Just as everything does. :namaste:
So... while I was meditatively mowing at Mom's the song "The Night Chicago Dies" kept playing in my head.
Just the chorus...
heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night it really was
Brother, what a fight it really was
Glory be
I googled soon as I got in the truck & supposedly the song is about a shootout between Al Capone's men & the Chicago police.
Al Capone (for :michafire: 's sake) was an infamous mob boss. He was quite notorious & even more slippery but was finally jailed on tax evasion. Quite similar to the one who won't be named but also held the highest office in the US :eek: . :p
Along with that building boil pressure :chuckle: I've felt several 'heart pangs' in the past 24 hours or so. Kinda like a brief anxiety attack tho I am not anxious. It's a collective thing I'm sure.

Yes. That is you with all yer bells on. :wub:
:asiel: be :tractor: ! You just stay safe and be in :bliss: :hug: I gets my seeds today. :happydance:
Story: Yesterdayz :ladybug: and I went out and about. She decides to stop in the little McD/speedway/gas complex. We come up to the entrance, and turn right into it like we're supposed to, and this car in the other lane lays on his horn. Needless to say the car roof stopped us from flying straight out the top from being :scared: So, I asked :ladybug: Did we do something wrong? She said "No he's just bein' a ......, and went on to a little rant with several other words I :nonono: taught her to use. But I was curious. So, imagine the opportunity when said guy pulled up in the space right next to us. So I says to Bug, I'm gonna ask him why he did that. To which she replied, OMG Mom, don't. He might :guns: you or somethin'. I didn't listen cause I'm just too dang nosey. So's I roll down the window and asks very nicely, to which he says, "I don't know you. Have a nice day." and walks away. :huh: Then, I realize the lady in the passenger seat wants to talk to me. So, we start talkin' and she apologizes for her son. She said he woke up grumpy and so did her hubby, and she has no idea why. She said she asked him the same thing, and pointed out that we had right of way. He told her, "You're right Mom, I'm sorry." I says you don't gotta apologize fer him. He can do that iffin he wants too, and suggested that maybe it was the man time of month. :yes: She :rofl: and we continued :blah: :blah: 'til he came back out. We said :goodbye: and we both enjoyed meeting each other. Son never did apologize to me directly, but apologizing to his mom was good enough for me. :thumbs: :ladybug: just shook her head and laughed at me when I told her. She said I had bigger.....than she did. :bsl:
Now I must :run: and do errands agains. :bye:

This must be just out because I noes the minions are gonna be annoying me with the ... being you just tweaked ... speech 'cuz that's what I'm always telling them :woe: Though they coulda upped the level on the board equations a notch ... the supposedly look smate equations are barely college level potential NRGeez relations :roll:

Oh and has nuf durt pHarmin :wave:
In other newses ...

I've only used it a few times so I dunno about how long it will last it's definitely not made for serious abuse but it should save my arms when dad asks me to clear :carp: so he doesn't need to bother the gardeners :woe:
Yup burdensome :drama: basically :kitty: wrangling :yes:
Doog :book: :thumbs: :hysterical: and yeah :ladybug: was right BIGGee sized :egg: :egg: :thumbs:
"Yes. That is you with all yer bells on. :wub: "
This must be just out because I noes the minions are gonna be annoying me with the ... being you just tweaked ... speech 'cuz that's what I'm always telling them :woe: Though they coulda upped the level on the board equations a notch ... the supposedly look smate equations are barely college level potential NRGeez relations :roll:
Still I'll be adding that to the watchlist :thumbs:

You haz saws? :no: You swing saws.....on ladders? :faint: Honest to Tim, you is the stuff of nightmares to all ER staff and mother's eberwhere. :uhoh: You better last longer than that saw does, and with all your bits still intact.
Oh, and it ain't about :egg: :egg: at all. When ya gits old, you have not as much to lose, and so much more to experience all at the same time. :yes: Also, you forgits about the whole curiosity killed the :kitty: thing. No really....you FORGETS.
I had no such adventures today. Although I went back to TOPS which is where I shopped at a long times ago, and boy they was wonderful. I gotted lost and stayed for hours just ambling up n down the aisles. It was truly blissful there. I shall be returning.

:spitcoffee: at the chainsaw reaction.
And this, Sig... :sun: :vibes: make :twister: I does not beleeb that I ever said that. :nonono:
You are the one twisting (get it, :twister: ) words now. :rofl:
As for collecting Durt Mama... She's on a bus! :scared: She won't be in until tomorrow afternoon...spending the night tonight in Chatanooga then a 6+ hour bus trip home tomorrow. :sigh: Though I do know that the tour line keeps a close eye...they skipped part of their NYC trip so as to leave earlier when a blizzard was approaching. :crazy:
:pey: The above is a perfect example of "less to lose". I just gotta trust that all is as it will be and as always, I ask the :angel: to watch over her & the bus.
Ok... the :book: :bsl: What a great energy-shift that occurred. I literally 'saw' the positive effect made by the 'confrontation' (but not in a confrontational manner) tho I must admit I am just like :ladybug: & woulda been like :no:
I gots a hair appointment in Jackson today. :wiggle: It's cloudy, muggy & warm but supposedly the severe chances don't really kick in until tomorrow morning. :dunno: Yesterday was apposta have been 74 & :sun: :cloud: so B took the day off & we mowed the whole farm. Thing is...it was flat out chilly (my fingers were numb when we finished) so we mowed (quickly!) in hoodies. Of course, after we finished the skies cleared & the :sun: came out. :rofl: But it is all done. :cheer:
K so yesterday :b: hand-weeded for about 3 hours in the morning...then he ate a couple pieces of avocado toast (yeah, :whatever: ) and proceeded to operate the weedeater for almost 3 more hours straight. :faint: Then...we both mowed for about 4 hours. And THEN...he walked down the driveway to the bottom where gravel & gunk had muddied the pavement & ran his gas blower for about 30 minutes. :faint: His gimpy shoulder was borked & he walkeded like an old man cuz he was :dog: tired but elsewise... :heart: Just fine. :shera:
And omg Pandora, super simple TVP faux joes have become one of our favorite quick, satisfying meals for times when you need something quick & filling. :righton: I just rehydrate TVP in boiling water like it says on the package (Bob's Red Mill) 1 cup per can of sloppy joe sauce (tho yesterday I wanted more & had 1 can of Kroger brand so I added I can of tomato sauce, garlic, dehydrated onion, brown sugar & a dash of cayenne). Whole wheat buns or Jacki loves sliders :wub:
I had made this :tater: salad in the morning while he weeded. https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-salads-sides/vegan-potato-salad-recipe/ Mostly that recipe. I gotta make it mine. :rofl:

:hysterical: Yes I sawed ffuts and I've done it a hunert feetz in the air swinging on ropes 'n ffuts all Tarzan style ... k the rope swinging was mostly to prevent the inevitable fall 'n :splat: but srsly I is purty doog with a chainsaw, and axe and wood splitting and all forms of denaturing :treehug: s :flex: The big ffuts lives in dad's garage and hasn't been touched in years 'cuz :hello: gardeners :yesss: but there's still a gaseous push mower, a mantis tiller thang and my favourite the wand of smiting aka the wand of destruction aka Mr. :ooops: it's a ginormous :electrocute: hedge trimmer that can cut thru inch thick branches like :cheese: There is definitely some trick to getting hedge lines flat and even but I still hasn't figured that one out :scratch: But here's a nuf visual ... imagine the big bush in front of you is OBI Wan Kenobi and you are Darth Vader ... guess what happens next :whistle:
Also :hello: mini :electrocute: chainsaw :bliss: Srsly I mentioned it 'cuz I thunked that was sumthin gardening types would find useful :matt: I mean srsly what does you do when a branch needz cutting and it's too big for a pole saw ... the correct answer ... mini :electrocute: chainsaw :yesss:
"And this, Sig... :sun: :vibes: make :twister: I does not beleeb that I ever said that. :nonono: "
Yer quote was ...
"I was concerned that the solar influence was gonna amp it up.
It was the night that the solar winds from the massive 'hole' in the sun hit earth."
So yeah solar :windy: :vibes: or a :rainbow: sumthin :bump: s up whatever it is you thinxz :therethere:
Srsly I has no idea what yer thinkin ... :vibes: is just an all encompassing catch all for not psience :angel:
Oh yeah TVP is doog ffuts :thumbs: but you might also wanna looks at Butler Soy Curls (https://amzn.to/3nOmCYK) <= Amazon link. That's the three 8oz pack that I usually git but there are single pack options too :angel:
Basically it's nigh the same as TVP but in a shredded meat like consistency. Technically TVP is just the leftover from squeezing out the oil and the ingredients would be soy flour. Soy curlz are basically whole soy :bean: s ... so thinxz tofu PLUS the okara BUT fully powdered and cooked afores drying.
I does the rehydrate thang then toss the water and squeeze the ffuts dry or use a spinner :norway: then simmer in chicken or :cow: broth, add gelatin and flavorants and it makes a passable non-critter faux meat :angel:
Basically only choose this over TVP when you want a not ground faux meat but more of a pulled pork or chicken :angel: Also with a quick fry a char su version is not bad for noodley soups :oz:
Oh does either of youse noes what asian "fish balls" are ... yeah yeah :whatever: Srsly it's an asian thang to take meat mostly fish ... but also pork and :cow: beat it until it's a sticky paste then cook that paste as "balls" or flats or sticks or whatever. In Japanese doof narutomaki is a classic thang to add to ramen and is a type of Kamaboko.
Anywho, the point is you can actually make a surprisingly doog fish paste vegan knockoff using siguie brand silken tofu, tapioca or :tater: starch and vital wheat gluten :angel:
That said, I would have mentioned it afores BUT fish pastes and thangs like Kamaboko might be outside yer comfort zones or flavour :egg: sperience :therethere: Anywho iffen you has tried "fish cakes" from Thai, Japaneses, Korean or Chinese cuisine and liked them it's not hard to make a vegan knockoff :nono: It's also cheaper than the real ffuts and very versatile :angel:

Sog... (typo stays :rofl: )... this: Oh yeah TVP is doog ffuts :thumbs: but you might also wanna looks at Butler Soy Curls <= Amazon link. That's the three 8oz pack that I usually git but there are single pack options too :angel:
I told you about soy curls 2-3 years ago & you were like, 'Meh...just the scraps from tofu & horribly overpriced'.
Or somethin like that. :woe: B likes them. I don't care for the texture...too 'meaty'. :yucky:
Cuz that's the only protein the sole vegetarian restaurant in Paris usta use. And I boughted some. Several times. :p
Sadly, that restaurant didn't make it. :sigh: Non-meat eaters are still rarer than unicorns around here. :woe:
And fishy ffuts...thanks but no thanks. That's where I separate from the Asian doof I love. Fishy taste puts me on the shore of Lake Erie cuz it always smelled like dead fish. :fishhat: :bsl:
Pandora... just read this & thunk you would find it interesting as well. I was never in 4 H but many of my neighbors were & I spent a whole week camping at the fair, sleeping on hay bales, with a next door neighbor. She was a horse rider tho, not an animal raiser.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-viral-story-of-a-girl-and-her-goat-explains-how-the-meat-industry-indoctrinates-children/ar-AA19uFwD?cvid=06be3a5987654138b2550dfd7e6fd9f3&ei=40
So there were lots of zombies out yesterday... :sigster: I thinks many of them were in mourning for their superhero :superman: , Former Guy.
And today I am going over to Mom's to vacuum & clean her wood floor & make a pot of :bean: soup cuz she & ZA are returning today & they are oh so very tired. :sigh: I betcha they never ever sign up for another week-long trip again. :chuckle: Besides the walking, it's the up early, tight schedule...go, go, go...and back to hotel later than they'd like that wore them out. :hugs:
She sent me a picture of her sitting on a curb outside the Smithsonian cuz she was too tired to care about the exhibits.
I says, "Don't they have any benches?" and yes says, "Yes but they're all full of people.". :chuckle: Sometimes it works to Mom's disadvantage that she does not look her age. :sigh: Peoples expect more from her than she has to offer.
Their last leg as them dodging :rain: but hopefully they'll be home before any real :twister: threat.
Just trusting that they'll be wherever they need to be. :sparkle:
It was 80 freaking 6 yesterday! :faint: :heat: And we had no AC. :rofl: Our big unit went out last year & is not a priority right now.
B had completely taken apart the large window unit to thoroughly clean it. :uhoh: So yesterday when it was 84 indoors & afternoon heat was building, he got it put back together. :cheer: It runs well & most importantly, smells...well, it doesn't smell. :clap: It had been science experiment :uhoh:
Lots to does... :wiggle: Gotta go see what the weatherdudes are saying about today. :umbrella:

:therethere: it's enough that you tried :hug:
Also you can always use the back :button: :yes: and iffen you accidentally close a tab on most browsers Ctrl - Shift - T is the secret geek undo :matt:
Also when there's bad weather it's more likely to happen ... solly :therethere:
"I told you about soy curls 2-3 years ago & you were like, 'Meh...just the scraps from tofu & horribly overpriced'."
Ooooh yeah that's a mostly accurate description :thumbs: They are easier to git a meaty texture than with TVP AND keep on hand in a cupboard. However, the freeze :shiver: thaw method used on tofu is far superior :yes: The main reason I likes them is they is close enough to meat that noone complains and oblivious enough that vegetationist are ok with it :yes: TVP on the other hand has the oil removed 'cuz the ffuts is literally the leftover after squeezing. Curlz on the other hand is the whole :bean:
Anywho TVP is the superior pantry staple for the price but iffen you want decent meaty texture soy curls :yes: I just thinked you might want to try sumthin other than just dump and stir TVP :roll:
Also iffen you eber git to a "real" asian market soy skins :thumbs:
K no fishy faux doof :check: though um ya noes it neither smellz like (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) nor tastes like (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) ... :roll: it's kinda why ya needz to noes what it is afores making it :whistle: It's basically a modified seitan made to mimic the texture of (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) paste. You can also tweak seitan to mimic other protein sources like corned :cow: and pastrami but those are a lot more werk :sofa:
Anywho I'm ALWAYS :egg: sperimenting with ffuts :matt: I keeps the high end :cow: in deep freeze and for low end still too :egg: pensive :cow: I tend to favour frankenmeats like Beyond :thumbs: Impossible is ok but they is still :egg: spensive ... tofu meats on the other hand are an inerestin pursuit :angel:
Glad ya survived the :rain: :wave:

Srsly, I have gagged on meat since I was a little girl. :yes: :bawling:
And when I made myself eat it it had to be so well done that it was no longer recognizable. :chuckle:
I liked the carcinogenic charred bits. :woe:
So we'ze on a weather roller coaster... :wheee: Mid 80s the past 2 days & this morning it is 48 & rainy. :shiver:
It's only gonna rise another couple degrees all day long. :shiver: :shiver:
Te travellers made it home & Mom looked better than I expected. :cheer: They left Chattanooga early & forgone...forwent? lunch so as to beat the weather which was not much here but according to radar they woulda been driving in ugly :carp: if they hadn't sped up the trip.
And today we gotta go get Mom some groceries cuz sis & hubby are coming in tomorrow. :faint: :crazyeyes:
It looks like it may be a doog time to begin hardening off my maters & peepers. The :tomato: are trying to escape out the window. :scared: Tomorrow...today may axshully be a bit too chilly. :shiver: But then all next week it shall be 70s :peace: :happydance:
Oh & energies!!! That's all I gonna say cuz someone :whistle: will 'correct' everything I say about the matter. Matter :chuckle: energy joke. :pie:

:hi:
there IS a detour road - but badly worn and only 1 1/2 lane.
OK to pass when no one is coming and you can stay n the middle.
There also is 2 official detours -
but they are over 8km one way extra.
and also quite narrow and with road construction.
It feels like the whole area here gets the roads reconstructed at the same time
the one in front of our house is starting now -
and supposedly to last until December :faint:
cold sunny weather here
:rainbow:
Easter weekend as well --------------

...the :heart: of the culinary wasteland.
:yes: and :no:
Doofwise :nonono: The :heart: of culinary wasteland is in a pig. :bawling:
Anyway... busy, busy, busy... yesterday we were on the go from 8am til 8pm.
Today B has gone with trailer to deliver deck building materials to Chloe's house. Sis & bil arrived yesterday & are staying thru Monday, at least. :wiggle: It's build-a-deck-at-Chloe's weekend. :cheer:
I gotted a new vacuum cleaner last Saturday & have not yet had time to properly use it. :sigh: I did quickly sweep over kitchen, dinging room & living room. :pie:
And we gotted 4 flats of vegetables & flowers last weekend that we have not had time to plant. :wtf:
I think it's a doog time to put my home-groweds out for hardening. :cloud: :yes:
Would also be a good planting day iffin we can.

Well I wasn't getting down to the nearest inch or anythin :roll: I'm just sayin youse are ground zero ... not necessarily patient zero BUT close enough :yes:
:scratch: you all makes ffuts differently I guess :scratch: My first step in decking was to white wash ALL the wood with borax and give it a day or two to dry. Then dig and set concrete for the foundation with metal post bases THEN next a day or two later build the main supports and cross beams, oh and of course 3D print out spacers for the planks :wiggle:
New vacuums are all turning into Dyson knockoffs :unthumbs: They is fine for quick pickups of small messes BUT I still prefer my siguie brand frankenvacuum :yes: Basically it's a 10+gallon-ish wet/dry 5HP shop vac with a super loooong hose and adapters I made to all the stoopid vacuum end bits I has :yes:
It's a pain to pull out but it's essentially a central home vacuum system that's vastly cheaper and can handle wet or dry :thumbs: For realz the hose is ~50 feetz so I can basically reach anywhere and hardly need to move the power part .... mostly it's upstairs or downstairs and :boom: done :yes:
Has nuf decking out Chloe and durt planting :wave:
I needz :offtobed: yesterday Friday kale day was the final unboxing of the grow tent :drama: AND even though it was :rain: ing I tilled the stoopid veggie jailz which is freaken HARD with all of the drip ffuts :gaah: Oh and most plants are in the waiting area of the vegetable garden awaiting cell depployment. That's the part dad likes to does :roll:
The doog news is I wont be forced to toil in the durt Easter Sunday :gstars: the bad news is it's 'cuz I already did it :gaah:
Anywho atleast it was relatively cool low fiddyz :wubsigh: by Sunday it's gonna be mid 70's :horror: atleast I dodged that bullet :kickcan:
Oh and dad was asking about more of those plant stands with the bazillion parts you hammer together with the little mallet ... he wants to "improve" the useful space in the grow tent :sofa:

Oh speakin of those bazillion parts shelves...
B had inadvertently put a couple of the shelve on upside down :oz: & I said "Leave it! It's not a big deal."
He did. :wiggle: But then a week or so ago when he/we were rebalancing plants & weeding out deadish ffuts & the likes, he decides he's gotta turnt hose 2 shelves around. I says, "I'd just leave it alone if I was you." And he was like, "Oh no...no problem. I'll just pop these out and..." :hysterical:
Well he obliviously forgotted just how many pieces had to come out to remove 2 shelves & once he did then he was like :no:
He could not figger out how they went back. :hysterical: So I was called in to assist & I could not figure out how to place the pieces without legs being uneven so I quickly went to Amazon to pull up the photo. :brain:
I just thunk the whole thing :hysterical:
Mud tillin is not nuf. :nonono: B just received a new pull start contraption part for our old big tiller. It hadn't been used in years & he axshully started it a few weeks back. We both :faint: :faint: But when he tried to start it again to 'walk' it back to it's parking spot the pull cord thingy came off in his hands. :oops: :rofl:
So he decked just til 22 then they took it from there. :wiggle: And the he gotted out the chainsaw & trimmed many many branches & cut down whole knock out roses (it was a rough winter :sigh: ) THey will come back but it will be a few years before they are 6' tall once again. :wiggle:
70s all week & hopefully forever more. :bliss2: At least until it hits 90 & stays there all summer. :hysterical:

The classic don't fix what aint borked lesson learned :hysterical:
Those shelves are deceptively simple :yes: ... the first time you dump the parts out :faint: ... but once you look close at the pikture and seez the how it's purty simple :yes: BUT you really need a bigger rubber mallet that thing they gives you is ok but dang that's a lot of :thwack: ing involved :drama:
Also how do you git shelves upside down? :scratch: Unless you is using them as feetz they is purty muches one way or they'd be hanging and eventually drop off :dunno:
Happy Easter Sundaze :rabbit: (https://psifly.com/icon/easteregg.png)
Oh and I totally called it on the mini chainsaw :yesss: it werks really well :thumbs:
The wet tillin sucked BUT I mostly just stuck the drip lines on the ceiling and raked the :carp: out of whatever was left then threw various bags of amendment ffuts here 'n there :rstars: Dad has some vague idea of a pH gradient for the cells 'cuz :tomatoe: s prefer acidic soil, beets 'n :tater: s like mildly acidic and :bean: s like acidic to neutral.
Anywho, I'm basically done :yesss: a couple {most} of the :tomato: plants are way to fricken BIG so I might need to dig large holes to accommodate them but dad's the one who plants them wherever and pushes the drip lines whereber so ... mostly ... done :cheer:
Though there is a really strong chance another stick shelves will be ordered and made to fit the grow tent :horror:

So... Also how do you git shelves upside down? :scratch: Unless you is using them as feetz they is purty muches one way or they'd be hanging and eventually drop off :dunno:
Nuh uh. :nonono: Iffin you look at them they has square holes on both sides cuz the middle shelves attach above & below. One direction, they look like little square trays with raised sides. That's upside down. :rofl:
Anyway... we had a doog day, too. B weeded, I cleaned up iand then weeded n the Dance Hall cuz it gotted hurrycaned once again. (We still have no side walls cuz we cut them out thinking we'd replace before winter & that was like 3 years ago...BP...Before Pandemic which was also the :heart: disease & unemployment timeline. :crazyeyes: It's not been a priority. But... The seeding/potting table & other non-planted ffuts gets blown hither & tither every time we have a storm.
Boy oh boy it's nicer & nicer out there every single day. :bliss: Greener & greener, too. :treehug:
Every year I forgot how awesome it is to watch the trees go from nekkidness to flowery beauty to varying shades of green & finally full leaf. :wubsigh:
Anyway...the nights are still a bit chilly so I am a bit slower about getting out but now it's time to play... :spring:

Dad's way WAY ahead of youse he's basically durting full growed :tomatoe: plants so he can start mores ... some are gonna be clones :clown: 'cuz they bypass that whole germination stage BUT he's also messing with different seeds so he can git the bestest possible :tomato: flavour :liplick:
Now that he thinxz he has mastered the siguie brand :egg: s and :tomatoe: technique :roll: he needz more starting materials :oz:
K fine perchance there's a way to screw up the shelves :scratch: unlike youses I didn't investigate those options :nono: :flyball:
"We still have no side walls cuz we cut them out thinking we'd replace before winter & that was like 3 years ago..."
The real miracle is you has any plastic still hanging in there :yes: purty sure it's way passed the :egg: spiration date :whistle:
Oh and one terrible idea I woulda liked to try is putting that plastic around the outside of a house AND possibly the roof :yes: In theory it would be doog insulation :yes: AND depending on how muches you needed and how well it werks it 'might' be worth putting up ebery year even iffen it only lasts one year :yes:
It's like that home built in a big dome ... heating is no longer an issue :nono:
AtmospHerical rivering might still be a thang BUT it mooved a few states northerer as well as into Canukia ... so sprang really is here :sigh: no more :rain: and nuthin under 60°F for the next 10-ish daze :no:
K kinda :bean: playing with seitans agin mostly 'cuz I wanted to tries it with chickpeas and maybe red lentils :yes: Anywho, chickpeas and seitan with a little wheat flour makes a purty decent faux meat :yes: It's still a little more chewy than animulez flesh but less than fishy paste. It's also trivial to cook with the InstantPot and can make big batches quick 'n easy :peas: y Also a lot cheaper and better than curlz though it's hard to beat curlz for quick :ashamed:
Anywho seared siguie brand chicken like seitan, with spicy gochujang sauce in red lentil tortilla and siguie brand pickled cabbage ... surprisingly tasty :liplick: In theory I can leave out the gelatin and chicken bouillon ... and oyster sauce, and fishy sauce and it could be vegan :whistle: Atleast MSG is veganese :thumbs:
Oh and iffen yer wunderin why I'm looking at faux meats ... 'cuz of the covid meat factories were essentially closed down, :cow: pHarmerz scaled back so fewer meat reserves :drama: then add in doof inflation plus fuel costs :boom: the doof is :carp: AND :egg: spensive :fist:
I likes options :yes: so far the bestests are chickpeas, red lentils and vital wheat gluten :angel:
Also I has no clue how people can git 18mg of iron each day without :cow: srsly :dunno:
Oh back :book: dad topped off his iron reserves so is going back to :rabbit: doof :woe: Thang is realistically people only need 1mg to 2mg of iron each day :yes: However that's the amount "absorbed" by the body of which heme iron is the bestest absorbed {10% to 30% depending on factors} while other iron sources like plants are {2% to 20% depending on even more factors}. This is one of many reasons why 30% of the whurled population is literally iron deficient {anemic} anywho 18mg of :cow: per day is 20oz of steak which relatively few could afford much less survive on ... so I'm werken of ffuts :yes: Iron polysaccharide or thangs like iron Glycinates are completely artificial and some of the few thangs that help hoomans absorb iron better than :cow: meat :angel:

So, about iron (I've told this story before) Blackstrap Molasses. A tablespoon has 2.3 mg of iron in it with an absorption rate from 50-97%. It's easier on the gut, and can be found without the sulpher. Just have to watch the glucose levels. Figs, raisins, and pumpkin seeds also contain iron which are great snacking stuffs.

Blackstrap molasses has only 2.3mg iron in a Tbs {15ml} so you need ~120ml of nasty dark :carp: eberyday and that's just to stay nermal. FYI the iron polysaccharides and glycinates are based on the sugar chelating/complexing bit :yes: AND they also help the iron absorption through a method of tricking the body where it is absorbed as sugar not as iron salts or heme :nono: which is doog :thumbs:
The problem with blackstrap molasses is that the high absorption is partly related to the viscosity and the nearness of other metals and residual caramelized sugars. In other wurdz 1) ya needz to take it straight for best results preferably in a non-acidic medium 2) you get a lot of other metals along with that molasses but people only look at the doog ones and assume they is always doog like copper and zinc BUT there is also aluminum and arsenic which is not so doog :nonono: especially when the same mechanism that aids absorption ... um aids absorption :whistle:

Anywho the point was it's really hard to git "enough" iron as an omnivore ... vegitarians and vegans in particular just make that hill so much steeper :faint: That 30% anemic is just anemia, the real issue is the low ferritin levels which are the iron stores THEN add in the issues that cause poor absorption and other missing nutrients and deficiencies THEN add in taste preferences and it's freaken HARD :gaah:

I was :missing: & didn't even realize it. :woe:
I swear I was talking to youse guys in my dreams. :blah: :blah: :blah:
It's :spring: And I been doing it all. :rofl: And today...and every Thursdaze hereafter iffin it's not raining...it Mom's Yard Day. :wiggle: Pey, we left a mower over there for me cuz her lawnboy finally aged out. I think he's 95 now & had some setbacks over the winter.
And Pandora, no real Bible Museum storied time except for she & ZA had a private lunch up way high in a glass walkway with a beautiful view that noone else thought to take their lunch to. :chuckle: Mom is not a museum person :nonono: Too many word thingies. :rofl: She sent me a picture of her sitting on a curb outside a Smithsonian cuz she'd "had enough". :chuckle: I simply asked if there were no benches & she said 'yes, but they're all full'. Mom's handicap is that she looks nowhere near 79. :nonono: So peoples don't offer her seats as they don't think she needs one. :sigh:
The shoes were "ok". :chuckle: Swelling of her feetz & ankles was the biggest thing. Too much bus riding. :yes:
She talked more about the other 'kids' on the bus than the actual sights & histories. Now Zen Aunt was totally engrossed by the historical nature of everything. Mom...notsomuch. :hysterical: Mom had fun with the peoples & was the talk of the bus becuz of her totally awesome manicured toenails. :rofl: She chose a neon peachy/pink. And she truly has beautiful feet. Long, slender, smooth....quite unlike my working mule feet. :rofl: She really could have been a foot & hand model.
And...she was the second oldest person on the bus. :wiggle: One man was 82. :rofl:
Yep. Catching up with the newses in the evenings... :sigh: The Tennessee Three saga has held our attention obliviously due to the local coverage. I am so :luvcry: happy to see new young leaders emerge. I've known forever that it was the younger generations who would lead us into the new world & these guys are a big part of it. Find it synchronistic that it was a 60 year old lady named Gloria (Glory to God) who stood with them & impacted by NOT being expelled & that BOTH their names are Justin (justice...Just. )
They have turned the old order upside down & inside out tho :hysterical: And Gloria is not holding back anything in describing the racist comments she hears near daily. :cheer: It's true. And it makes me sad to be white in a racist state. :yes:
Someday Imma gonna write that article titled, "I come from a long line of racists". :yes: Cuz truly it is true...Mom/Dad & Zen Aunt are exceptions...but ALL the rest are :yucky: with their talk. Even the aunt who has bi-racial grandchildren says things I won't even repeat here now. :sigh: 3/5 of a human. That's pretty much what they still believe. :yes: :yucky:
BUT...the important thing is that our Republican governor went against his state Republicans & signed an executive order requiring stricter background checks & more. :yes: It's a step no matter why he was made to take it. :righton:
Funny tho...after nationally embarrassing themselves & having a large part of the population turn on them...the republican super majority passed a 90 day tax holiday on food. :rofl: I know it was their way of trying to regain favor with people they'd pissed off. Buying back votes, they think.
Gotta :run: 75 & :sun: today. :bliss: :spring:
B is taking off Monday & we're planning a trip to the Memphis Zoo! :cheer: Gonna be 75 & sunny then, too. :bliss2: :bliss:
Gonna pack a pick-i-nick. :wiggle:

Spoo. I forgot. :woe:
Iron schmiron, heme scheme. :bsl: (in Zanna's honor.)
I just had a big bowl of great northern beans with kale salad which was full of vitamin c & raisins & craisins.
But really I wanted to ask Mr Energy Efficiency... What color metal roof would you recommend for us? I say tan/sand....B wants black :nonono The roofer dude says the black is awesome & holds heat but the idjits don't realize that too much heat is a bigger problem than not enough. He's apposta be coming for an estimate today. :wiggle:

For roofing it's going to depend mostly on the type of metal {steel or aluminum} and the :horn: underlayment ... I has a "radiant barrier" plus reflective underlayment. Whatever the color of the metal heat or cold {heat goesing the other way} only happens via conduction. A radiant barrier prevents heat movement 'cept as radiation :vibes: but iffen you choose a 5mm gap then that's very very low :yes:
That said I would say ultra white is the optimum roof colour for yer home :yes: The problem is :treehug: will discolor the roof anyway. Thang is the same is true for most colours of beige.
The real question is how well do those trees shade your roof, iffen it's high fiddys PLUS then Black is fine BUT only iffen you has some insulation and optimally a radiant barrier :yes: Elsewise yeah lighter is the better choice :yes:
Iffen yer reroofing look at adding some type of insulation 'cuz now is the time to does it :yes: Alternatively, map out the areas you :egg: pect to git too muches :sun: and have roof guy plant solar panel fixtures :thumbs: Once you put a panel on you'll has a radiant barrier with a cooling chimney effect PLUS :electrocute: :angel:
FYI: Not kidding :nono: Panel fixtures are cheap and standarized and lotsa people put the fixtures up when they git a new roof but cannot yet afford the solar :yes: Youse really should NOT has roof panels :nono: BUT iffen yer roof is gonna need some shading then you can atleast git some doog power out of it :yes:
Well I'm glad durt momma atleast gotted out to socialize and show off her feetz :thumbs:
Yeah totally missed the tanassi threeing :dunno:
Oh and I'm still playing with Burmese tofuing ... I'm torn 'cuz I thinxz the red lentils is more tofu likes as is while the chickpea ffuts is a little :egg: likes BUT I can add oat juice to it and :boom: it's more like real tofu than the red lentils :drama:
Oh a zoo trip with a pick AND a nick :thumbs:
In other newses ...
Back to 57°F and :sun: ny :bliss: temps are sloooowy climing :no: but so far so doog :thumbs:

:thanks: He's coming today to estimate & talk. :yes: Solar fixtures. :check:
I gotta watch the roof for shade. :scratch: The back half gets shaded I think but the front... tis why why boughted shade sails for that side of the house. :heat:
Tanasi Three are 3 state lawmakers (democrats) who were super frustrated after the school shooting in Nashville cuz Tanasi only continues loosening gun laws (you can legally open carry an assault weapon...no permits necessary for most firearms, etc. :yucky: ) & would not listen to the majority of peoples who want stricter background checks & permits at the very least. Majority also wants sales of assault rifles banned.
Anyway, there is a supermajority of republicans who have steamrolled whatever they (or their money-givers( wants. :sigh:
And they will not even let the democrats speak up for a proper debate.
So...these 3, 2 young black men & 1 60 year old lady who is a former teacher...took to the floor with a bullhorn to say that they were sick & tired of being ignored most importantly tired of the will of the majority of people being ignored.
So a few seconds after they took the floor the speaker called a recess. :woe:
And within days, if not minutes, there was a nationally televised vote to expel 2 of the 3.
Pey, they expelled the young black men but not the white woman. :woe:
In the debate before the vote it was fascinating how they talked differently to the white woman compared to the 2 black men. They talked down to them...actually told them they oughta be ashamed of themselves for 'showing up' the state house. Uppity is the word they use to describe black people who get 'too big for their britches'. :sigh: They truly truly do not believe that black people (or Mexican or Asian or Indian or anything unfamiliar to them) are equals. When black people were first given the right to vote their vote was 3/5 of 1 vote. In other words they were considered 3/5 of a person. :(
And it backfired! :cheer: There were protests & national outcries of injustice & racism (which is apparent I am just recalling the bullet points :p )
And according to law the vacated seats were to be filled asap by the City Councils of the representatives' districts. Nashville & Memphis. :chuckle: And both city councils unanimously appointed the expelled councilmen back into their old seats as interim councilmen. :rofl:
Stupidly, there now has to be a special election to fill those seats 'properly'. :crazyeyes:
And they headed back into the Lion's Den to continue the fight.
As I said, both their names are Justin and the lady who stood with them is Gloria :angel: Gloria has been outspoken on local & national newses about the rampant racism she sees & hears on a daily basis. I know this is true becuz I see & hear it as well.
It's big. It's a boulder dropped from 100 floors up into the collective pond. :vibes:
And both Justins are extremely well-spoken (one I swear channels MLK.) & seemingly ready to seize the moment.
But the irony is in that how in trying to shut up the dissenters they catapulted them onto a much bigger stage & amplified their voices. :cheer:
Grocery day... :elfparty:

:horn: The site server is hasing issues :luna: ... it's not me doesing anythin :nono: they is supposedly werken on it :dunno:
"I gotta watch the roof for shade. :scratch: The back half gets shaded I think but the front... tis why why boughted shade sails for that side of the house. :heat: "
Yes :yes: PLUS estimate how much taller :treehug: s are gonna git and trace their shadows across the roof preferably with a south based :sun: angled trajectory that is also time of day based :angel:
Fer realz that's what you shoulda done afores getting a roofer :therethere: Iffen you can :egg: pect shade from the trees between 12pm and 5pm then it really don't matter what colour the roof is :nono: Iffen you has an area that gits full :sun: between those times or longer then that's where you want the solar fixtures setup :yes: thang is even iffen you cannot afford the panels you can throw some cheap covering up to act as an :umbrella: The fixtures are made to withstand hurriedcane force winds with big sails/panels attached :yes:
That said the "fixtures" are generally referred to as "roof mounting brackets" {aka anchor points} and are the parts that need to be attached to the wood {preferably support beams} below the roofing material. The roofing material goes over the fixtures so as to make a better water seal AND stronger roof attachment. You Do NOT want a full roof of these :nonono: but enough to cover the :sun: ny spots with Zero shade for a few hours :yes: This way the heat will not go through the roof AND you could eventually git some free :electrocute:
However, you will need to noes where to put these fixtures and you will not want more than 2 or 3 panels worth possibly just the one :yes: ... residential solar panels are 250W to 400W. Siguie playing with solar panels are 100W :oz:
Anywho keep in mind these fixtures are just the anchor points, which is why installing now should be relatively cheap. Next up are the racks that attach to the anchor points and on these goes the panels. For youses ideally you would has ground mount panels 'cuz they is easier to deals with :yes: BUT iffen you can swing a few solar roof panels they could cool the :sun: ny areas and provide free :electrocute:
Iffen yer roofer charges too muches or isn't really sure then don't worry about it .... this is the kinda thang I spent years researching afores deciding :oz: However, iffen he's done solar afores {many roofers have} it's generally purty cheap {$10 to $20 per installed fixture and 4 per panel} espeeshully if he thinxz you might call him back for a full on installation :angel:
As for the tanasi trio prolly more of a local sensation 'cuz other than seeing sumthin about democrats expelled :scratch: I haven't seen nuthin :dunno: I only noticed 'cuz I thunked why would there be democrats in tanassi :scratch:
Anywho half asian :hi: ... racism and the whole this is better than that really only hurts the racists and sure it sucks for the group being discriminated against BUT honestly people misjudging you based on race appearance or whatever just makes them that much easier to crush :muaha: Srsly being misjudged as an opponent is one of the bestest ways to easy :peas: y victory so I don't thinxz I've ever complained even when people are being rude :nono: of course YMMV :oz:
Friday :cheer: kale day oh yeah :roll: gotta :run:
Oh almost fergetted ... in other newses ...
Now that the atmopHerical rivering is ober my mountain road/highway is gonna be under construction till the end of MAY :gaah: They musta outsourced the road werk to Germany :wall:

Boy it's been a week. :huh:
First, I got into a road dance with a :squirrel: I think he was a geico agent. Anyways, he couldn't makes up his mind. I sees him, and slow down. He looks up and keeps goin' then I start up, and he changes his mind so I had to do the brake thang. Then he changes his mind agins and we is good. Except he changes his mind agins....three times this happens. I started feelin' like a bobble head with the brakes on then off... :wacko:
Liv's stuffs got fixed, and she was easier to fix than :ladybug: but it seems like she is doin' better now. :blob: infection done kickin' her :butt: so, 6 prescriptions later, we good. :thumbs:
The Tanassi 3- It was all over in my newses. The state got properly nationally embaressed by the little ole' white lady. :chuckle: It's a new age and a new generation. Thankfully. :rainbow:
Weather here has been 30 degrees hotter than normal. We broked records from 1949 and 1965 with temps in the 80's. It's calming down a bit, but I won't be fooled. :nonono: It's gonna be in the 40's come Tuesday. We had quite a fire in our woods on the foot hill above Corning, and it's a very unusual thang for us. We also had warnings about our air quality all week. But, folks are busy cleaning up, and I even saw a guy mowing. It's gonna be a hot summer, and I fear we'll have a dry one too.
Unstable is awesome :thumbs:
Has to go :run:

I was wondering about :ladybug: :thanks: for that update. :vibes: :gheart:
Sig, roofer knows nothing bout no solar nothins. :nonono: I have only ever seen one solar rooftop placement in the area ever. And a small handful of 'stand alone' solar panels. It is still so very very rare.
But...there is a new solar installer in Paris & he/they is/are booking install after install. :cheer: Finally. :yes:
So Friday J & I went to Kroger in Murray. :elfparty: We ran into so very many friendly people. :matt: Genuinely friendly like I haven't encountered in years. I was thinking, "Gosh, Kentucky peoples are really nice." :rofl: But then that same evening we went to Paris Lowes & STILL there were so many genuinely friendly people. :cheer:
Tomorrow we are going to Memphis Zoo. :wig: :wiggle: :gle: We'll see iffin the Happy People Vibes continue on. :sparkle:
2 more mass shootings last night. One in a Louisville park :sigh: and another in Alabama at a 16th birthday party. :(
It's like living in the Wild West. I suppose :chuckle: I don't really have any recall (no past life connections either :chuckle: )
Truly truly important to keep the Happy People Vibes going now. :vibes: :earthheart:
I had a dream about that.
Elsewise, yesterday I planted cukes, squash, cabbages, broccoli, tomatoes , peppers & eggplant all in the Dance Hall. It may be too late for the :broccoli: but the plants were cheap so I just had to 'try'. :pie: Just a few early :tomato: & peepers...the rest will go in soon. B has ordered a tiller tire.
Anyway, as I did that :b: was making beauty all over the yard. :flower: :bliss: We gotted alotta reduced plants at Lowes. :cheer:
Then we mowed.
And then came the cold front. :shiver: Today was :blowme: & 60ish but tomorrow & thereafter we be back in the 70s. :afro: :peace:

Heya Pan :hi:
:chuckle: it's true like that Elisa Spain quote :yes:
"Be decisive. Right or wrong, make a decision. The road of life is paved with flat squirrels who couldn't make a decision."
:squirrel: :hysterical: :tooshay:
I'm glad Liv is doesing better and :ladybug: too BUT 6 prescriptions :faint: that's some srrsly messed up :blob: ing :fist:
Yup summer always sucks with that heat thang :heat: :no: Doog lucks weathering that 80's and I hope ya gits yer cool back quick :yes:
:muaha: :flyball:
:asiel: Iffen roofer don't noes no let him touch it :sigh: It's not particularly difficult setting up the anchor moounts BUT ya needz to noes what you is doesing and :egg: perience is important :yes: Dang unbeknownst to most but putting panels on yer roof tends to make the roof last longer :yes: but sadly only when done right :whistle:
"But...there is a new solar installer in Paris & he/they is/are booking install after install. :cheer: Finally. :yes: "
Sadly you'll find that ended Yesterday :therethere: Srsly :yes: April 15th was the last day to sign the installation contract for solar and still be eligible for NET2.0 after this people will be stuck with NET3.0 which basically says you get paid 1 to 2 cents for :electrocute: you put back into the grid and pay regular rates for :electrocute: whenever you use it. Basically solar investments are back to taking 10 years afores they is worth it iffen at all :unthumbs:
Also tanassi has some of the most unscrupulous solar installers :uhoh: srsly there have been a bunch that gotted shutdown the last one I recallz being Power Home Solar BUT there were more than a few :whistle: Most of the companies meant well but just didn't noes what they was doesing :woe:
That's the thang about solar ... at it's core it's incredibly simple :bliss: ... but between permitting, gubberment regulations, grid ties, inverter choices yada yada and not to mention securing giant sails onto the roof in :twister: country ... ffuts git a little more complicated which is why it helps to noes what youse is doesing :yes:
Srsly though a roofer who don't noes anythin about solar :faint: KalipHorniyanz are only 13% with solar while tanassi is at 4%. The thang is even with 65% fewer ... you'd think he'd atleast noes the basics :dunno:
Did he atleast gives youse the underlayment talk vs insulation and of course radiant barriers? :share:
Iffen he doesn't noes about radiant barriers you need a better roofer :yes:
Glad youse are OK I thunked there was sumthin about dangerous ballz of hail :scratch: heading yer way :sofa:
Has nuf at the ooz :wave:
I'm gonna go roast some more :coffee: for the week :cheer: I'm getting back into the Aeropress espresso-ish milk drinks :liplick: I makes an amazin siguie brand Grand Marnier caramel macchiato :drool:

:asiel: Iffen roofer don't noes no let him touch it :sigh: It's not particularly difficult setting up the anchor moounts BUT ya needz to noes what you is doesing and :egg: perience is important :yes: Dang unbeknownst to most but putting panels on yer roof tends to make the roof last longer :yes: but sadly only when done right :whistle:
"But...there is a new solar installer in Paris & he/they is/are booking install after install. :cheer: Finally. :yes: "
Sadly you'll find that ended Yesterday :therethere: Srsly :yes: April 15th was the last day to sign the installation contract for solar and still be eligible for NET2.0 after this people will be stuck with NET3.0 which basically says you get paid 1 to 2 cents for :electrocute: you put back into the grid and pay regular rates for :electrocute: whenever you use it. Basically solar investments are back to taking 10 years afores they is worth it iffen at all :unthumbs:
Also tanassi has some of the most unscrupulous solar installers :uhoh: srsly there have been a bunch that gotted shutdown the last one I recallz being Power Home Solar BUT there were more than a few :whistle: Most of the companies meant well but just didn't noes what they was doesing :woe:
That's the thang about solar ... at it's core it's incredibly simple :bliss: ... but between permitting, gubberment regulations, grid ties, inverter choices yada yada and not to mention securing giant sails onto the roof in :twister: country ... ffuts git a little more complicated which is why it helps to noes what youse is doesing :yes:
Srsly though a roofer who don't noes anythin about solar :faint: KalipHorniyanz are only 13% with solar while tanassi is at 4%. The thang is even with 65% fewer ... you'd think he'd atleast noes the basics :dunno:
Did he atleast gives youse the underlayment talk vs insulation and of course radiant barriers? :share:
Iffen he doesn't noes about radiant barriers you need a better roofer :yes:
Glad youse are OK I thunked there was sumthin about dangerous ballz of hail :scratch: heading yer way :sofa:
Has nuf at the ooz :wave:
I'm gonna go roast some more :coffee: for the week :cheer: I'm getting back into the Aeropress espresso-ish milk drinks :liplick: I makes an amazin siguie brand Grand Marnier caramel macchiato :drool:

When buglet grows up :secret: 8yrs ... he can learn the ancient art of green coffee :bean: roasting :gstars: then you'd has the perfect life :thumbs:
Presumably the durty one is oozing around :rimshot: and hopefully hasing nuf :thumbs:
In other newses sprang has descended on kalipHorniya :sigh: temps have already started rising 61°F now and up to the 70's by Fryday :no:
Eberywhere else Heat :heat: followed by arctic :shiver: coming later :snowball:

We got :asiel: 's :shiver: front. It's 39F at the moment, and doesn't look like it'll make it into the fiddies today. I knew that was coming. It'll warm up into the 60s after today which is "seasonable".
I gotta take a family friend to her pt appt. this morning. We shall navigate :squirrel: s and peoples. Not sure which is worse. :hmm2:
Buglet gots the hiccups early this morning, and they stayed longer than usual. Poor lil' cub was so frustrated cuz he wanted to sleep. Finally wore off, and :ladybug: says he's totally crashed out now.
Off I :run:

Big Bang Theory pretty much a bust :boom: the cosmology theory not the tv show though I thunked it sucked too :roll:
The new Sodium batteries will hit the market ... soon ... :gstars: though I think LiFePO4 are still betterer :yes:
Oh and this is a purty doog yotube tofu primer ... Tofu Types + What to DO with them! From soft to super firm, silken vs regular, plus specialty tofu (https://youtu.be/j2OwDXgbQRk)
She is purty doog and does a series called "will it tofu" also recommended :thumbs: :secret: but she messes up the red lentil tofu :unthumbs:

Awwww, hiccupping babies are so sweet & pitiful all at once. :wub:
Yes, Pan, Mom is a doog peopler. :chuckle: Better than me. I am doog 'behind the scenes'. Mom picks up nothing energetically & does not even read body language so she just merrily peoples everywhere she goes. :chuckle: :sparkle:
Her father, Buddy, was just like that. :yes:
Yes, zoo just about killed us all. :rofl: No...it was great. Beautiful weather, hardly any people, but LOTS of walking & barely any food. They didn't even have junk doof stands open cuz it is early & non-crowded, But we survived. :chuckle:
And then yesterday I had a ton of errands to run (seriously...6 stops with the last one being Walmart. :faint: ) & a bit of a broken right wing from all that planting on Saturday.
Today I am moving slowly & deliberately. :wiggle: The upcoming eclipse/new :moon: energies are super intense. :wtf: :wtf: :Wtf:
And even tho it's another 80 degree day I gotta work in my bedroom cuz today or tomorrow (haven't yet checked) we are getting a new bed-in-a-box. :cheer: Our old mattress so totally sucks & we decided long ago that first thing we'd buy with tax refund is a new mattress. We gotted Jacki a new bed-in-a-box before Christmas & it is awesome...so far. :chuckle: So I am expecting ours to be awesome as well. A sheet of plywood would be better than what we gots. :rofl:
I tells ya tho..we have more bloomers than anywhere I have yet to see, including the Memphis Zoo. :bliss:
We gots paperwhites, LOTS of dianthus, violas, petunias, bachelor buttons, irises (just beginning), and a flatful of assorted annuals that B planted. :flowerom:
And sig...that 4% Tanasi solar thingy is prolly less than 1% in the rural areas. :yes: Seriously...the pig farm has a solar array out front and a vet office has solar panels on the roof. Elsewise.... nada, nothing, zilch. :faint:
And roofing, construction, everything here is vastly different from a highly regulated Callyfornya. :p B is gonna build a deck with probably a roof over it & roofer dude says he will order extra metal for same. It's not gonna be up to any kinda code becuz...it doesn't have to be. We don't even need permits or anything. I could build a house of loose straw (not bales, I noes that's a thang) ...with indoor fire pits without ventilation & nobody would give a :carp: They would simply shake their heads when they removed the charred bodies from the rubble & says, "Coulda told the dumsh*ts.". :bsl:

:wave: :michafire: I like when you check in. :yes: We're just :blah: bout day to day stuffs, so no :quake: news that way. Easy to catch up when you have a chance. :hug:
:asiel: Your mom kinda reminds me of my mom. I think they would have gotten on well together. :wub: Mom was always about being stylish and classy, but she could be pragmatic if she needed to be. Socially, she did well, and folks really took a liking to her almost instantly. She was always a great listener, and didn't get judgy at all. The teen kids would gather at the house more to see her than me. I wasn't very social. Ever.
Weather starting today is settling down and temps are in the mid 50s-60s. Which is seasonable for us. Still haven't heard the peepers, so I'm still waiting for the hard spring frost to happen before I try seeding to ground.
Tofu is so much more than crisping up in a fry pan! I do agree with that, Sig. :yes: I'll have to check out that channel you suggested. :thumbs: Dinner today is gonna be a tempeh dish with Kale, and mayhap a baked :tater: I'll use a lemon/garlic marinade. :liplick: I made a cacciatore using a faux chicken protein, and I liked it all except the faux chicken. :yucky: I kept thinking, next time I crave a cacciatore, I'm gonna use tofu innit.
Gotta :run: but plan to wander back later. :bye:

:michafire: Me too, likes the check-ins from Germany. :wiggle: :wub:
Boy oh boy I'm tard. I deep cleaned the dust bunnies (why they call them bunnies? :laugh: ) & then disassembled the king sized bed. :faint: The mattress, box springs & plywood we had to 'help' are leaning up against the chiffrobe...I took the frame apart & it's propped against the inversion table. That's all for now. Gonna wait on B to get the ffutses out but at least I was able to go ahead & clean where the bed had been.
Dinger. :woe: The busier we are with springing...indoors & out...the less I am motivated to cook anything that requires messes & cleanups mainly. :faint: But ironically, the busier we are the more important it seems to eat really well. :crazyeyes:
Like just now, I ate a frozen veggie burger (microwaved) on an everything bun. It was pretty good, and filling, but I woulda felt much better had I made a beautiful fresh-picked salad. :sigh: But that required walking across the drive, picking the lettuce, washing the lettuce, spinning the lettuce & then cutting up all the variousities....new word, I approve :p My ideal woulda had onion, cuke, tomato but I just used the last :chuckle: so mango, avocado, red peeper, sunflower seeds, fake bacon & fresh-squeezed lemon juice. That's alotta work just to type. :rofl:
Pandora come cook for me!! :bsl:
In other newses... :horn: THOR is back! :happydance: Thor, lest youse forget is a male hummingbird. His mate is named Tina, for some strange reason. :rofl: I'd been looking cuz the red buckeyes are abundant in our ravine & abloom in a sea of red flower blaze! That is one of their primary early food sources. :wub:
And...yesterday I saw the first monarch! :butterfly: :wub: Have seen swallowtails for a couple weeks or so...both black & the smaller (female) blue. Our butterfly weed is multiplying exponentially so that "Monarch Waystation" sign hanging from the tree may just be alluding to more than the usual handful of monarchs. :butterfly: :sparkle:

It sucks when the body doesn't keep up with the 'want to'. :yes: I noes. :sigh:
But I slept great & think I'm all healed. :sparkle: Tweren't apposta sleep on it the first night but we had no real (good anyway) choice. :cheer: Oh & we have a 4" memory foam that just 'wore out'. Any ideas (of course you do) on what to does with it other than make lotsa god beds? :chuckle:
First...our house is not a cheap pre-fab. :nonono: It is an extra sturdy & less toxic pre-fab. :nana:
For reals...framed with 2x6s on exterior walls, 2x4s inside. :yes: Super heavy steel frame (I forgot the specs but twice as heavy as most cuz they were out of regular frames due to hurricane Katrina). Drywall, crown moulding, rounded corners.
Granted they did cut corners on ffutses like windows & frames :yucky: , kitchen cabinets, ac/heat units & plumbing fixtures. :sigh: But the importants are sound. :flex:
So....alternative cooling? Now that we're headed into hot season. We are considerably cooler than back when since adding the window film, shade sails & using a window AC. We also close the curtains when it's super hot & the sun comes thatta way. :p
Tofudebeast. :hysterical:
One more beautiful day & then :rain: & back to 60s. My kale will be much happier at 60 than at 80.
Speaking of...Mom will be 80 this year. :faint: Sis wants to does a party & Mom says :no:

Mattresses....I'm not a fan of a big propped up bed. :nonono: I haz a simple twin firm memory foam mattress with a narrow cot mattress under it. I loves it. When I sit up, my feet are on the ground, and I lift easily from it. It has give in all the right places, but I don't drown innit.
I'm doing good from the fall. A little bit of damage I thinks that is taking awhile to calm down. I have had a couple weird episodes where it feels like my legs are gonna give out. Strangest thang to suddenly feel like your legs are disconnected from yer :brain: and just want to collapse and don't wanna move according to directions. :huh: I think I done something to the left sacroiliac joint area. It doesn't feel the same as the right. It has a permanent knot or somethin' :dunno: I still don't have my taste/smell at full power from the covid event. THAT is frustrating. :gaah: My ears have vastly improved, thanks to routine massages, and popping. No need for "the knife" thang. That's about it for the "getting old" report. :thumbs: :laugh:
:ladybug: finally got into a good, thorough Dr type person. She is still struggling with symptoms. They did find an occult hematuria, her HDL is too low, but the LDL is not elevated at all. She is anemic, and she is lacking in vitamin D as well. So, I keep tellin' her to eat better and get outside more. As always. She doesn't listen to me. :sigh: She might listen to Dr Alana though. The :blob: infection was never cultured at the other office. :faint: This office is following up and culturing.
:asiel: Boy, I get that. When I get busy, the last thing I wanna do is prep for cooking. As much as I love the process, and find it therapeutic, it stops me from finishing other stuff I've started and want done NOW. That quick veggie burger is just the ticket. Believe me, I get it. :hug: Most times I prep ahead first thing I get up while having my coffee. Then, as I get involved, when I have to eat, it is a bit easier/faster to put it together.
Today is gonna hit 70s. :bliss: I shall be out and about cuz you know, Vitamin D. Now, let's see if :ladybug: will go out and about too now.
Off I :run: :bye:
I'm doing good from the fall. A little bit of damage I thinks that is taking awhile to calm down. I have had a couple weird episodes where it feels like my legs are gonna give out. Strangest thang to suddenly feel like your legs are disconnected from yer :brain: and just want to collapse and don't wanna move according to directions. :huh: I think I done something to the left sacroiliac joint area. It doesn't feel the same as the right. It has a permanent knot or somethin' :dunno: I still don't have my taste/smell at full power from the covid event.

K...share your deskinning method, please. :happydance:
I usually smash the whole bulb with the side of Nellie...then I just smash harder the cloves I wants to use. The skin practically falls off then. And I mince the smashed cloves. :chuckle:
And I often makes double or triple batches of ffuts then freeze. Like vegan lasagna, soups, red beans sans rice (I can handle cooking rice when tard :chuckle: ). Yesterday I made a giant pot of chili & at least a gallon of it will wind up frozen. :yes:
And on rainy days I cut up containers of washed celery, peepers, cukes, whatever I has on hand & we eat those as snacks or with hummus or then I chop them into meals whenever I need
Thing is...just since April began I've not been able to even get the celery washed & into it's assigned container (I has one that holds exactly one bunch of washed, halved celery :chuckle: ).
Pandora...this internet chiropractor has helped me with many ailments, including vertigo.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cUBJw7ppjaQ
So yeah, sunlight... :bliss: I've noticed that we are not tanning as usual. :huh: We're out a lot. B has begun being out for at least 2 hours after work & then 8+ hours on Saturday & Sunday & I am out more than him. We don't use sunscreen. :nonono: Never have. And have not burned, nor tanned as much as in prior years. :huh: We walked the ooz from 10-4 on pavement & nobody burned though I did spritz J ack i with sunscreen cuz she's a paleface. :chuckle:
Just ddo. Seems different once more. :yes:
Gotta go dance between the raindrops to Martin today. 4x fuel points Friday. :cheer: I've been averaging $2.50 off per gallon & that's on 35 gallons...up to $1 off each time. So iffin we get the max amount of fuel that's $105 free dollars a month! :cheer:
We have not gotten the max amount of fuel yet but B says we're gonna. :ashamed: He takes the truck & gas cans & gets 35 gallons for sure. Last month I just filled Lola at 13 gallons & ate the remainder of the discount. :anon: But we gotta go to Paris to get it. :wiggle: Teck :nickel: not, but the one station that honors Kroger points in McK is always 30 centsish more than Paris to start with. ALL McK stations are higher than Paris which makes no sense in a town of 5000 ppl. :crazy:

"K...share your deskinning method, please. :happydance: "
For ginger it's just using the back of the knife/cleaver but for garlicks it's basically a gentle :brick: smash and rolling the bruised results in my gloved hands. The thang is certain rubbery gloves cling to garlic skins better than others. I can usually does 2 or 3 heads afores I needs to rinse the gloves off ... then dry and finish off. The trickiest part is :brick: ing just right so as to crack and break ALL of the cloves free and just lightly bruised then a quick hand rub and done :yes:
Anywho bulk garlicking isn't hard and there are plenty of ways including the classic double bowl method. Iffen I really REALLY need to does many heads of garlic fast I use two steel bowls, smack the heads :thwack: to break up the cloves, put them all in a bowl, cover with the second bowl then begin the shaking :quake: About 30 seconds later collect the skinned :butt: naked cloves :oz:
I'd use this method iffen I wanted to process all 3 packs of garlic at once and prolly does one and a half packs at a time. The problem is this is a bit messy and best done outside for LOTSa garlic. I also didn't want to wash two more bowls :nono: so gloves :yes:
In any event the big advantage to processing and dehydrating tons of garlic and ginger, is I cook with the ffuts all the time 'cuz it's now easy :yes: Add in turmeric which I can git fresh BUT already has tons of powdered and I has the trifecta of healthy doof at my disposal BUT these are also the trinity of flavour :rstars: so basically win win :wiggle: Oh and did I mention fresh AND cheap and keeps easily for a year :bliss:
Oh and freezing is fine but you should :check: your freezers :electrocute: consumption :uhoh: Stockpiling doof is a doog idea espeeshully iffen it "saves" money but refrigeration and freezing :shiver: are continuous :egg: penditures ... unless you has solar of course 8)
You should also :check: iffen yer freezer has a frost free setting because that greatly reduces doof longevity. I espeeshully make sure neber to have/use "defrost" settings :whip:
" I've noticed that we are not tanning as usual. :huh: "
That's actually a doog thang :yes: tanning greatly reduces your vit.D production :yes: Also most people don't realize it's nearly impossible to git enough sunlight to provide 100% of vit.D unless of course you run around nekkid all day ... which literally is what people evolved doesing :oz:
Iffen ya looks it up there was a recent-ish study of over 200k people in India and 75% to 80% had less vit.D than is desirable. Oh and many people do not realize it but Indian's from India have a large number of different ethnic variations from very light skinned to very dark skinned AND they was all more or less uniform ally vit.D low :oz:
The point ... either don't wear clothes and run around nekkid outside more :bliss2: OR accept that modern day hoomanz need to supplement with vt.D :om: AND iron and most of the B vitamins plus a few others :whistle: Srsly :yes:

K so I've done the bowling garlic method. Bowling.... double pun..get it? :pie: :bsl: It's not always so great depending on garlics.
And the :brick: & smash is not much different from the smash & smash. :chuckle: 'Cept I don't wear gloves.
Rubbing one's hands on stainless steel de-stinks them afterwards. :wiggle:
As for vitamins...meh. :chuckle: I'm still on the Esselstyn less is more train. :wiggle:
We does take D3 in the winter. :yes: And wear shorts & sleevelos all day so close to nekkid. :bliss2:
So :b: took half the :sun: deck apart the other day & the critters are :frantic: & :hysterical:
Poor Cookie cannot remember that she can't go in or out that way. And the cats...well they gots a new jungle gym to play on. :rofl:
Today the rest comes apart & then it's time for reconstruction.

:sunhug: ==> :earth: :boom:
:frantic: :tinhat:
Also ... :tapfoot:
" It's not always so great depending on garlics."
That's why I use this brand :yes: They is twice the price but ALL of the heads are equally mature and hard/fresh :thumbs: PLUS they really does have a much better flavour :yes:
"And the :brick: & smash is not much different from the smash & smash"
Actually it is :yes: it's a little like cracking a raw :egg: to open it vs just throwing it at a wall. With the head of garlick sitting on a hard flat surface a vertical hit with a :brick: I use a doof mallet or slab of marble very lightly is just enough to break the cloves apart and crack the hard skin shell on the cloves.
"'Cept I don't wear gloves."
There's yer problem :yes: the gloves are not for hand protection :nono: take a look at the ... OXO Good Grips Silicone Garlic Peeler <= Amazon Link especially the video :oz:
You can also use a large silicone mat BUT it needs to be the right type to stick to the peelz then "easily" wash off with water.
The siguie brand :brick: separates the cloves while performing the cracking function done by rolling the garlic cloves in the tube thang. The Gloves stick to the peelz and peelz them off ... but you has to noes what gloves to use which is why I literally mentioned it :whistle:
The stainless steel thang to remove garlic odor is a little silly for a kemyst since it's soooo easy :roll: First wash yer hands :duh: second use a little peroxide and yer done. You can also use any iron since yer just attempting to bind to the sulfur compounds which by the way also react with silver far betterer :yes: PLUS don't fergets the copper electrodes and :electrocute: :thumbs: Oh and srsly that wasn't me joking :jester: they all werk :yes: and generally better than stoopid stainless steel :roll:
But then again with gloves that's another thang I don't needz to does :nono:
"As for vitamins...meh. :chuckle: I'm still on the Esselstyn less is more train. :wiggle: "
That's perfectly sensible {surprisingly so :faint: } and as always you can believe whatever you likes 'cuz proof isn't required :bliss:
Anywho a current :rimshot: siguie theory is that RDA vitamin D levelz are all wrong :yes: People should not go out at noon for 15minutes of sunlight to :bump: their D levelz :nonono: That makes no siguie sensicalz at all :wall: 'cept perhaps doesing the wynter :yes: Instead people should spend more time in the :sun: during early :ashamed: mornings or late afternoonz :yes: Also people should git more :sun: in the summer after eating BIG calorie and oil laden mealz like bbq :cow: :thumbs: Also how muches of vit.D you ingest {doof/supplement} should vary by season and current geography :yes:
Basically git more than you needz in the summer store the XS in fatty tissue :whistle: then in the winter when you is low and burning off the fat you'll has the D you needz :angel:
Atleast that's the theory :oz:
Also keep in mind that the majority of peoplez with psoriasis are vitamin D deficient {or low} and supplementing vitamin D lowers LDL cholesterol which is needed for skin health and used in the production of vit.D Interestingly vit.D is NOT directly associated with psoriasis BUT the role of modulating cell proliferation is generally regarded as the reason for helping psoriasis :yes:
Incidentally statins generally have little effect on vit.D leveling BUT those with low D are many MANY timez more likely to have statin side effects and muskle issues :oz: oh and inconclusively but strongly suggested increase of diabetes :horror:
Beeleaves without proof is really fascinating :yes: I really don't unerstanz how peoplez can does that :nono: I mean personal :egg: perience sure :yes: accepting sumthin 'cuz proofing hasn't happened ... 'k mostly I'd call that a theory or phenomenon with more research required but 'acceptable' ... beeleaves without proof 'cuz someone sed :blah: ... maybe as a last resort with nuthin else to goes on :dunno:
Anywho Dr.E's protocol is #1 for :heart: patients by a big BIG margin :thumbs: Otherwise #1 is the Mediterranean Diet with limited or no processed sugar/carbs :yes: Thang is #2 is plant based whole doof ... though oils included BUT it's NOT a close 2nd :nono: Depending on where you does the research ... plant only based diets are best suited for the 25y to ~45y crowd ... somewherz between 50y and 65y is when those on a prolonged plant based lifestyle start having issues. For heavy carnivore and processed carb types the problem range begins between 35y to 55y :whistle:
The point is with a Mediterranean lifestyle there really isn't a beginning downward :spiral: of missing nutrients or horrific health issues atleast until 75 and that's mostly where data starts getting skewed.
Anywho Dr.E is 89 or 90 :scratch: so clearly he noes what he's doesing :yes: but I think he also gits a much more varied vegetational mix of ffuts than many of those on his diet :oz:
Also just to be clear I'm not advocating for a Mediterranean diet/lifestyle :nono: I thinxz I can does better :sigster: :muaha:

"And the :brick: & smash is not much different from the smash & smash"
Actually it is :yes: it's a little like cracking a raw :egg: to open it vs just throwing it at a wall. With the head of garlick sitting on a hard flat surface a vertical hit with a :brick: I use a doof mallet or slab of marble very lightly is just enough to break the cloves apart and crack the hard skin shell on the cloves.
"'Cept I don't wear gloves."
There's yer problem :yes: the gloves are not for hand protection :nono: take a look at the ... OXO Good Grips Silicone Garlic Peeler <= Amazon Link especially the video :oz:
You can also use a large silicone mat BUT it needs to be the right type to stick to the peelz then "easily" wash off with water.
The siguie brand :brick: separates the cloves while performing the cracking function done by rolling the garlic cloves in the tube thang. The Gloves stick to the peelz and peelz them off ... but you has to noes what gloves to use which is why I literally mentioned it :whistle:
The stainless steel thang to remove garlic odor is a little silly for a kemyst since it's soooo easy :roll: First wash yer hands :duh: second use a little peroxide and yer done. You can also use any iron since yer just attempting to bind to the sulfur compounds which by the way also react with silver far betterer :yes: PLUS don't fergets the copper electrodes and :electrocute: :thumbs: Oh and srsly that wasn't me joking :jester: they all werk :yes: and generally better than stoopid stainless steel :roll:
But then again with gloves that's another thang I don't needz to does :nono:
"As for vitamins...meh. :chuckle: I'm still on the Esselstyn less is more train. :wiggle: "
That's perfectly sensible {surprisingly so :faint: } and as always you can believe whatever you likes 'cuz proof isn't required :bliss:
Anywho a current :rimshot: siguie theory is that RDA vitamin D levelz are all wrong :yes: People should not go out at noon for 15minutes of sunlight to :bump: their D levelz :nonono: That makes no siguie sensicalz at all :wall: 'cept perhaps doesing the wynter :yes: Instead people should spend more time in the :sun: during early :ashamed: mornings or late afternoonz :yes: Also people should git more :sun: in the summer after eating BIG calorie and oil laden mealz like bbq :cow: :thumbs: Also how muches of vit.D you ingest {doof/supplement} should vary by season and current geography :yes:
Basically git more than you needz in the summer store the XS in fatty tissue :whistle: then in the winter when you is low and burning off the fat you'll has the D you needz :angel:
Atleast that's the theory :oz:
Also keep in mind that the majority of peoplez with psoriasis are vitamin D deficient {or low} and supplementing vitamin D lowers LDL cholesterol which is needed for skin health and used in the production of vit.D Interestingly vit.D is NOT directly associated with psoriasis BUT the role of modulating cell proliferation is generally regarded as the reason for helping psoriasis :yes:
Incidentally statins generally have little effect on vit.D leveling BUT those with low D are many MANY timez more likely to have statin side effects and muskle issues :oz: oh and inconclusively but strongly suggested increase of diabetes :horror:
Beeleaves without proof is really fascinating :yes: I really don't unerstanz how peoplez can does that :nono: I mean personal :egg: perience sure :yes: accepting sumthin 'cuz proofing hasn't happened ... 'k mostly I'd call that a theory or phenomenon with more research required but 'acceptable' ... beeleaves without proof 'cuz someone sed :blah: ... maybe as a last resort with nuthin else to goes on :dunno:
Anywho Dr.E's protocol is #1 for :heart: patients by a big BIG margin :thumbs: Otherwise #1 is the Mediterranean Diet with limited or no processed sugar/carbs :yes: Thang is #2 is plant based whole doof ... though oils included BUT it's NOT a close 2nd :nono: Depending on where you does the research ... plant only based diets are best suited for the 25y to ~45y crowd ... somewherz between 50y and 65y is when those on a prolonged plant based lifestyle start having issues. For heavy carnivore and processed carb types the problem range begins between 35y to 55y :whistle:
The point is with a Mediterranean lifestyle there really isn't a beginning downward :spiral: of missing nutrients or horrific health issues atleast until 75 and that's mostly where data starts getting skewed.
Anywho Dr.E is 89 or 90 :scratch: so clearly he noes what he's doesing :yes: but I think he also gits a much more varied vegetational mix of ffuts than many of those on his diet :oz:
Also just to be clear I'm not advocating for a Mediterranean diet/lifestyle :nono: I thinxz I can does better :sigster: :muaha:

:michafire: in da city :elfparty:
I was decking assisting. :flex: Boy oh boy.
We gotted the frame up & it's level & square. :faint: :b: says that was the hardest part. :dunno:
I just assist. :wiggle:
As for the other ffutses... :sun: :aaahhh: :sofa:
Axshully...headed out in a moment. We was apposta frost last night but didn't :cheer: & I had covered the hydrangea who had already been bitten once...and covered the flats of non-hardy annuals that are yet to go in the ground.
So B's weight has finally stabilized around 180 which is perfect for him. :yes: His muscles are re-growing & his biceps are almost back to full size (the thumb & forefinger of both hands plus 3 or 4 inches :chuckle: ) He looks solid again. :flex:
But he is eating walnuts & avocado. Not in mass quantities but enough to sustain. :yes: And he eats sweets...like applesauce cake :p and muffins with applesauce & maple syrup & whatever else he can find.
But...he has stopped the statin once again. :yes: His shoulder & hip & knees were just getting worse & worse whereas he was improving in so many ways yet hobbling around like a very old man. He has been off of it for 10 days & already can see (as can I) some improvement. Plus, I was looking at his meds & the doc had him on 40 mg rosuvastatin. The internet says 40 mg is max dose & should only be used for those who cannot control their cholesterol with diet. :wtf: When he was off the statin before his LDL was still at 69. The seemingly arbitrary magic number for heart patients is >70...for others it is >100.
Anyway... :popcorn: Still looking for that perfect :balance: between low cholesterol & clearing arteries & physical strength & stamina.
But yesterday...he was outside at 6:30AM with the chainsaw cutting more branches :treehug: and then pampass grasses & rose bushes :candle: :secret: There is one knockout buried beneath the new deck, under weed fabric. It was too big to dig out. Same with a giant old pampass grass. :candle:
And we finally sat down at about 6:30PM. Ate some leftover smashed :tater: s & corn & green beans & then he went to bed. :rofl: I was not long afterwards.

Of course I seed none of that :sigh:
:kickcan:
Ooooh so youse is all decked out :thumbs: Yup "level & square" plus hasing the foundation set is the most important thangs to prevent later deck :suck: and mortifying regret ... or so I am told :whistle: Oh and use atleast 5mm for plank spacing ... I likes 8mm. The stoopid 1/8th inch {~3mm} lets all sorts of :carp: git stuck in between which is really hard toclean out :pullhair: at 5mm+ most ffuts fall through :thumbs:
Also 8mm is doog for poking wires and cord through to tie down solar panels and what not :wiggle: but Apparently 1 people with small toes don't like it :drama:
"As for the other ffutses... :sun: :aaahhh: :sofa: "
Yeah it wa a purty big :sunhug: and well directed at us :horror:
"But...he has stopped the statin once again. :yes: "
Doog boj :thumbs:
"Plus, I was looking at his meds & the doc had him on 40 mg rosuvastatin."
:scratch: I thunked he was on atorvastatin :dunno: the doc prolly got skeered when you said he was a froot eater :yes: Lipitor uses the Cytochrome P450 enzyme as the default removal system and that enzyme is froot sensitive espeeshully with thangs like grapefruit. P450 is my arch nemesis in kemystery which is why I noes it so well :fist: I'm 93.2% sure rosuvastatin was designed to avoid P450 :yes:
Anywho it looks like there are only 2 quantities ... 20mg and 40mg ... so B was prolly prescribed based on weight/size and not lipid numberz :nono:
Regardless Doog Boj :thumbs:
The oils likely have little effect on weight or muskling :flex: ... the impressive thang is he gained muskle while on statins :faint: ... :beerme: Srsly not only do statins slooow muskling growth they tend to produce/exacerbate muskle and joint problems and in more than a few cases cause muskle injury :horror:
Once upon a time long long agoes ... someone {me} ... may have mentioned iffen B wants to "cheat" on Dr.E's protocol then sugar/carbs would be the way to goes :whistle: That's still the case :yes: BUT like with oil you/he should noes the why and what to look out for :yes: Like with oil flipping the NO off switch for up to 8 hours and inducing microvascular inflammatin for up to atleast 2 weeks :horror:
Sugar does different ffuts like makes LDL "sticky" which is one type of cloggy arteries. I'm purty sure that's NOT the type of clogginess that B has :nono: AND the muskle :flex: ing activities reduce blood glucose 'cuz he's burning calories agin instead of ketones or whatever that other engine burns :oz:
Anywho, no sweets afores :offtobed: other than that he'll be way better off with sweets than oil :yes: Atleast that's my opinion after decades, years months googling some ffuts :oz:

Well he gets no oil 'cept the occasional restaurant ( :carp: y oil :sigh: ). We don't eat out that often but that's the thing that bothers me most is cuz most restaurants use the cheapest bulk Sysco, or such, cooking oil'.
He also eats :egg: Like maybe 6 a month, if that. :dunno:
He had been on atorvastatin but then got switched cuz of side effects. :sigh:
Anyway, he goes back to see the doc in June & we'll see where the precious numbers are then. :chuckle:
Truly, that's all they care abouts. Cholesterol, BP, heart rate. :check:
And I highly doubt his doc remembered (or saw in the chart) that he is on the Esselstyn diet. He was :shock: ed by it to begin with & seemed quite incredulous about anyone axshully being able to stay on a diet like that. :yes: So subconsciously, he prolly erased that fact from B's case. :yes:
Maybe in Nashville we could find another cardiologist who believes in the power of doof & who might help guide & heal him tho it's not really necessary. :dunno: I really like his cardiologist but I can tell he's feeling burnout. His Thurzdaze are quite like someone es'es Thurzdaze. He leaves Nashville around 4:30AM & comes to Paris where he sees a steady stream of patients up until 4:30PM or so. Then he goes to see whatever patients of his in the local hospital (a little walk across a parking lot & down a drive), gets back to Nashville around 8PM then back at St Thomas by 7 on Friday. And he's about our age...early 60s I presume. :sigh:
Every week. :yes: I asked why him to travel & he said that the others travel to different rural locations, south & east of Nashville.
It's pretty remarkable that they does that. :yes: St Thomas :heart: Center is a pretty speshul place. :wub:
Oh & it's inflammation I think of in relation to sweets. :yes: I am super thenthitive to the ebils of sugar tho. :yes: Even :wine: does not sit well (just one small glass) on some days, but on others it is fine. I haven't figgered out the variable. :dunno: Phases of the :fulmoon: I guess. :pie:
K so decking :book: :
Roofer dude is gonna build the roof all proper-like. :yes: So much less stress, both physically & mentally (B does not like heights :chuckle: ). But...now we needs 6 4x4 posts. 12' tall. :yes: 2' buried in the ground. So I convinced B to rent a power augur (which he did) to drill the holes. :flex: Holes are dug & now poles need to be set before the rains...:frantic: But first pole need to be bought. :wtf: Imma gonna check the weather cuz it may be best to wait til after the impending rains. :dunno:
We joke that B's phone (nor tablet) does not do weathers cuz he never knows what is coming. :woe:
:horn: Energies!!!!!! :splat: I gonna go mow Mom's yard today. :wiggle:

Power augers ... surprisingly nuf :thumbs: but you really has to pack the ground down tight iffen ya want a clean deep hole :faint: Also more than 3 feets and them thangs are stoopid hard to control :gaah: I suspect that's when ya needz to upgrade to one on the back of a :caterpillar:
"Truly, that's all they care abouts. Cholesterol, BP, heart rate. :check: "
Well yeah, they aint psientists :nono: they just look at numbers and follow the prescribed flow chart as decreed by the medical foundations :cleanse:
Their main porpoise in actually seeing a patient is to decide iffen there is a reason for getting additional tests or passing them along to the next more serious doc in charge. That isn't a bad thang :nono: it's just not particularly useful iffen your goal is to git better :dunno: Also keep in mind that atherosclerosis of the cloggy :heart: variety is NOT defined as "curable" so ALL treatments and medications are aimed at reducing symptoms, avoiding strokes and :heart: attacks and of course slowing progression. By following the Dr.E protocol you is on the foreskin of psience trying to does what the medical community does not accept as possible ... yet :oz:
"Oh & it's inflammation I think of in relation to sweets. :yes: "
It's "inflammation" in relation to eberythang atherosclerotic related :whistle: AND just about eberythang else BUT in general it's not what people thinxz :nono:
B already has calcified bits so oil is gonna aggrevate issues and cause that microvascular thang I keeps mentioning PLUS turning off the NO switch cuts blood flow down from both sides sorta speak.
Sugar does lotsa ffuts but it's mostly within acceptable and :egg: pected limits for "healthy people" it's the prolonged high blood glucose that causes the serious issues. B is "not" considered healthy BUT he isn't overweight or clogged with gooey :blob: sticky LDL. That's why ideally following the Dr.E protocol would be best and provide the fastest results BUT iffen he "has to cheat" then sugar is better than oil in his case because he does soooo muches :flex: werk.
The thang to remember is Dr.E's protocol is the fastest and possibly the only way to a clog free outcome. Iffen B is doesing well that's great but the numbers are mostly just stoopid book keeping at this point ... the key diagnostic would be another trip to the cath lab or an MRI or some type of thang that shows :heart: blood flow.
Stepping off the statins is a doog moove in my opinion :yes: There definitely are reasons to use them but there is no freaken way 30% to 50% of the population should be on them :woe: Espeshully with the large number of side effects and no real research on long term effects :wall:
That said watch his skin :yes:
He recently came off the biologic which means his body was readjusting :luna: and now he's stopping the statin which means more adjusting :zanna: ... with the sprang and amount of :sun: he gits hopefully eberythang quickly finds a doog :balance: :om: For the most part this will just depend on his body BUT be sure and clean/debride any scrapes or injuries :yes: His body is all messed up and his immune system is gonna need time to git up to speed so he don't need any skin problems from :blob: s or :mushrooms: mucking thangs up :nonono:

Still not sure why ya needz them 12 feetz 4x4's :scratch: presumably roof trash dump and or no roof lifting? :dunno: My roofer just came with a slide for roof debris and a conveyer belt thang for new roof parts :wiggle:

So I dided the only sensible thang and hung down from my front deck and dropped onto the front flowerbed area.

Mud drop. :rofl:
Did I neglect to mention that we are adding a roof over the new 10x20' deck? :ashamed:
And the posts are for new-build... 2' in the ground, 3' high deck, 7' left over for head clearance. :chuckle:
We could have gone with 5 posts 5' apart but that would put a post in the middle where the steps need to be.
So we gots 6 posts, 4' apart with 4' wide steps in the center....a straight-ish shot out the sliding door, down the steps & onto the foot path into the Medicine Wheel & over to the Dance Hall. :wiggle:
So yeah...the level & squared ffuts had to be disassembled a bit in order to get the augur in place & now we gets to true up the posts. More fun. :chuckle:
So yesterday I made the bestest 'vegan' creamy :tater: soup & I have yet to write it down cuz if not, well... I tend to forget what I did in the moment. :woe:
In a 5 qt saucepan I started with sauteeing garlic & a couple chopped onions...added plentiful sliced celery & barely chopped baby carrots (they were pencil thin :yes: ) in a cup or 2 of water, while that cooked I peeled & added biggish chunks of :tater: til the pot was 3/4 or more full & then barely (more like almost) covered them with water.
Boil. :duh: And added a biggish dollop (about 3 T dissolved in the big stirring spoon) of miso paste, some thyme & rosemary, salt & peeper & then after boiling a few minutes I filled the pot with almond milk & about 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast.
Then after tasting for seasoning...I turned it off, put on a lid, & went to Lowe's. :hysterical:
Came home & made cookie sheet cornbread (my new invention) & jumped in the shower.
The cornbread is simple & awesome... 1 c cornmeal 1 can cream style corn. I used an :egg: white but I'm gonna try it next time with flax egg & maybe even applesauce (applesauce changes the texture so much :sigh: Doog for cakes, not as doog for brownies)
Then I cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper & pour the batter down the center, lengthwise, then spread it quickly in the widthwise directions til it's thin but still covering the paper well. Bake at 425 til crispy... maybe 25 minutes?
I don't time nor measure much when I cook. :chuckle:
And this is why I'm NOT a psyintist. :p
And as for the arterial ffuts... he's not going back in the cath lab unless he has problems. They done said that. It's too risky.
And he has become quite content just living to the max and believing all is well based on symptoms. :yes:
That said, we don't get cocky & assume he's 'fine'...we are commited for life to the WFPBNOE (Whole food plant based no oil Esselstyn) way of life. I'm axshully beginning to really enjoy this way of cooking. :wiggle: And getting better at it. :wiggle:
My old :tater: soup woulda had whole milk, maybe butter, definitely oil to saute onions & garlic... & half a pound or more of almost burnt bacon crumbled in it. :ashamed: The :horror: :rofl:
I even make a mean fried rice with jasmine brown rice & no oil or butter. :shera:

In Francis cookery there's a method called en papillote which is basically wrapping ffuts in parchment paper afores baking ... :bean: there dided that :whatever: ... however parchment paper is doog to about 400°F and can handle up to 450° for a short time which should be more than enough heat to pan cook ffuts.

An induction heating surface like my induction cooktop burner thang can actually maintain a relatively low yet constant temperature 8) That was why I can use it to bulk make siguie brand xylitol candies :angel:
Anywho the point is I can cook doof on top of parchment paper atleast for a little while without leaking ... it werks well and does not require a non-stick pan :oz: It's also more NRGeez efficient :electrocute: I do however recommend an infrared thermometer gun (https://amzn.to/40XauCZ) <= Amazon Link BUT you should has one anyways :yes: Just avoid any meant for hoomanz ... and any that are in a bad range for cooking.

Yeah, I noes but it's the way of the midwest. :yes: In Louisville 3 of our second story deck posts were set in a 4' deep planter box! :scared: Amazingly they had not rotted...yet...but some deck adder-onners (we doubled the size of the deck) dug out & surrounded the posts with concrete. Which is what B done did. Quikrete in the holes. Just 2/6 set. :check: :check:
And amember, this deck is just 3' off the ground .
Yes, my Blue Diamond enamel coated is already showing signs of wear. :sigh: And the large saute pan that I use most often is warped...raised in the center from the heat. :sigh:
Emeril has a line of 'wear forever' non-stick that are proclaimed to be doog. :dunno:
I've not tried parchment paper in a pan before but :boyhowdy: I use it regularly in the oven now. :righton:
It axshully triggers a bit of crisp on things like oven :fries: or tofu.
:pey: :b: has a few mud drop stories as well. He axshully was a framer for a minute in the 90s in Ohio. :yes: Til the contractor went belly up. :faint: He framed many quick houses during a housing boon...in the winter...in northern Ohio! :shiver: :no:
Iffin the ground wasn't frozen it was muddy. :yes: And setting ladders in mud is no nuf.
He also nailed 2 fingers together during that stint. :horror: He was the freak in the ER that day... index & middle fingers were connected by nail. :wtf: Amazingly he didn't hit a bone. :faint:
Yep, that job cost more in medical bills (no insurance) than it paid. But he gained a whole lot of experience! :rofl:

I never said I bet I could cook on parchment :buttkick: I said I'd never used it other than in the oven & even there it sometimes gets too hot.
Yeah, my stove kinda sucks except for the warmer burner that keeps my teapot ready. :wiggle:
It has the intermittant heating that burns ffuts quite easily, even when on low. :uhoh: Seriously...a pot of soup or whatever on low will cycle off & then light up bright red & super hot just to bring the temp back to low. :no:
But I'm learning how to adjust. And yes, I always match the pot/skillet size to the burner. :duh: My front 2 burners have 2 sizes of intermittent scorching available. :drama:
The blue diamond said it was oven & stovetop safe to 500 or 550, I forget. But yeah, my oven goes to 550, too.
It's a Samsung...Japanese extra hot :chuckle:
And I don't know what you means by 'get it on the table' kinda ghurl but that doesn't feel right cuz I so much enjoy the process.
Taking a large strainer full of colorful washed veggies & then dicing or chopping or slicing them into various shapes & sizes & arranging them according to my whims before steaming or sauteeing of stir 'frying' or adding into soups or stews. That's fun. :yes:
B's officemate walked by the other day as he was eating one of his many little containers of leftovers & Johnny says quite SUDDENLY, "Butch....you're not eating regular food. You're eating ART!". :yes: :wub:
Cooking is an art. And just like with painting or composing or anything else we create we take the tools we have & do the best we can with them. Whilst continuously looking to improve both tools & skills. :yes:
So no...I'ze not a 'get it on the table' kinda ghurl. :nonono: Except for those times when I've 'farmed' all day long & has to open a can of sloppy joe & mix it with TVP for a quick fill-me-up. :rofl: I prefer not to have those days but until I figger out that clone thang....or get some hired hands... :chuckle: If so, I'd let them does all the backbreaking outside work & I would does the doof preparations & the frolicking outdoors. :bliss:
Last night we had to go back to Lowe's for more screws & due to time constraints we ate at a Chinese restaurant called Oishii.
It is a buffet as are 99% of the Chinese restaurants here.
It. Was. Horrendous. :sigh: Every single thing was soggy & sweet & greasy. :sigh: The only vegetables was some cabbage mush & the dead :broccoli: I picked out of the chicken stuff. So we ate noodles & rice & potatoes :gaah: And oranges & iceberg lettuce & cucumber salad that was really odd. And funny thing is it was busy cuz most peoples around here thinks it's really doog. :sigh: We hadn't been in several years but Zen Aunt had gone recently & said it was "really good:. :sigh: Shoulda known. Anyway...it's a challenge to feed us when there is nowhere we can grab a quick bite & I am overextended. :crazyeyes: But we will never does that again. We'll come home for faux joes. :chuckle: Or I will up my homemade readymades game. :shera:
Oh & it was near fiddy bucks for the 3 of us. :gaah:
But dang it's nice to not hafta mess up & clean up the kitchen once in awhile. :sigh:

You make the doof 'cuz you need the doof ... sure you art 'n play but you make doof 'cuz you has to feed peoplez articulated or not :oz:
I research :wwsd:
Srsly I measured the heat :donut: checked the frequencies and calculated the relative efficiency and the final output temps for my induction cooktop and that was afores I boiled some water to make instant noodles :oz: Anywho the point was I'm more about how thangs werk and what I can does with them ... yer more about making doof to feed people :angel:
The induction cooktop still cycles BUT it doesn't has a heating element :nono: the pot/pan is the heating element the induction heater sends the NRGeez :vibes: into the metal which then heats. I can put a stainless steel piece into a glass of water to boil the water without the glass being heated.
I can also take a thin stainless steel comal and use it as a superfast superhot grilling surface OR siguie brand wok 8) OR OR swap the stainless steel pan out for a sweet 10.5 inch cast iron comal (https://amzn.to/3Hn7kkF) <= Amazon Link and has SUPREME thermal control :yesss: Because I noes the ring size of the induction system, the energy output and I is a psientist I calculated the perfect sized surface and material ... fer realz ... this is why I can cook on parchment paper. Amember them red lentil tortillas ... they is perfect cooked on parchment, last night I even made them into thin "bread" with two pieces of parcment so I could flip a 10 inch one :oz:
FYI: chicken marsala over/with siguie brand red lentil tortilla bread surprisingly tasty :liplick:
Anywho feelz free to articulate yer doof all ya likes :thumbs:
Oh by the way you 'can' purchase induction cooktops for woks BUT they is stoopid :egg: pensive and monotasking one tool wunderz :unthumbs: The thang that makes wok cooking so doog is the ability to has a single 'pot' with a super hot cooking area and other areas where you can rest ffuts but keep it warmz. Enter siguies :donut: of Fire comal :om: it's just a cheap stainless steel comal but because it's so thin the metal becomes super hot over the induction ring but not so muches eberywherez else so :boom: siguie brand wok cookery at a fraction of the price 8) That said there is a trick 'cuz he silicone protecting the coocktop is only rated to 500°F and I faux-wok at around 750°F so I put a dry paper towel underneath.

Anywho it's enough to mostly save the silicone protector BUT I also has a carbon fiber welding blanket :wiggle:
"Yeah, my stove kinda sucks except for the warmer burner that keeps my teapot ready. :wiggle: "

Anywho I recommend :check: ing out Equipment Reviews: Induction Cooking (https://youtu.be/Lep2Sh0lYaY) 4:44 video :oz: This came out after I gotted my cooktop BUT the best buy is a Duxtop like mine :thumbs:
Here's the thang ... you really should be using induction cooking :yes: BUT yer pots and pans are mostly :carp: Just being magnetic isn't enough :nono: the materials need to be uniform and sufficiently thick for the way they are to be used.

In the meantime I suggest you rethinxz how you choose pots/pans temperature limits and surface descriptions are mostly marketing and ... mostly ... useless :unthumbs:
THEN ...

K so time to roast some more :coffee: fer the week and make a few siguie brand caramel lattes :liplick:
In other newses ... yeah lidar mapping is siguie level doable but like thermal imaging prolly needs a little more time to git cheap and doog :sigh: Though a lidar distance module with a raspberry :pie: or Arduino module could be easily tweaked to a motion sensor or "entity scanner" as in moove the thang around and see if there is something being measured closer between you and the wall :hmm2:
On the :ghost: front ... I was thinking about the stories the nurses at the nursing homes had and thunked I bet hospice nurses would has even more :hmm2: In that vain I found a youtuber "Hospice Nurse Julie (https://www.youtube.com/@hospicenursejulie/videos)" who fit that bill poifectly :thumbs: She does a lot of random ffuts and health care thangs that I'd rather not noes :horror: BUT she also does the occasional spirit :ghost: :angel: thang PLUS she did an interesting video on End of Life phenomena (https://youtu.be/NWyEhtv83dw) which was the first video of hers that I seed and definitely on that paranormal fringe but she sez these are "common" :faint:
In other other newses ...
Magnetic locking WITHOUT type 2 superconducters and liquid nitrogen :thumbs:

:frantic: I was :missing: :huh:
Guess you could say I got decked. :rimshot: And then some. :crazyeyes:
For realz...Zanna kinda Sunday caused B to be off work yesterday (another :carp: y plumbing fitting broke loose resulting in waterlosness or flooding under the house (we chose the former :p ) and plumber at 8AM yesterday. We chose to be waterlos (we have stored water) for 18 or so hours rather than pay the Sunday rate. for plumbing
But the 'household emergency' day off gave him another day for decking. :clap:
So...2 more trips to Lowe's, posts are set, joist hangers hung & joists every foot. Deck boards are tacked at each end but still need about 1000 more screws in them :rofl: . And the trim work is yet to be done.
But boy we were tired. :splat: I offloaded the deck boards from the trailer to a widdle trailer 6 or 8 at a time & pulled them to the deck (trailer is about 150' from the deck) where I offloaded them up onto the joists. :b: was climbing in & out & walking side to side over & over & over again. The deck is close to 3' off the ground...his inseam is 37" :chuckle: so he could straddle the joists. But :boyhowdy: I dunno how many times he stepped in & then out again. :crazyeyes: He was hobbling last night for sure.
But now we wait for the roofer & piddle at finish work. :wiggle:
Hospice Nurse Julie :wub: My cousin told me about her last year sometime when my Aunt was dying. :yes: I thunk I'd mentioned her here as well. :scratch: She's awesome. :righton: And I agree with everything I've heard her say.
As for cooking & cookwares... :yes: :thanks: Doog advice. :righton:
As for energies...
:aaahhh: :luna:
Today I feel drugged, drunk or elsewise altered. :rofl: 3 cups of green tea is all of the alterational substance I've had. :chuckle:
I figgered it has to do with the upcoming :fullmoon: & another eclipse I believe. :scratch: I am more than a bit disconnected from what's up, but amply connected to what matters. :flowerom:
We have had :blowme: :blowme: :blowme:
It's exhausting. :yes: Today I haven't been out in it very much cuz well... I just don't have it in me. :rofl:
And got storms predicted for Friday :woe: once again. So far it has been the year of Friday Storms here in West Tanasi. :huh:
And cooler than usual tho my kale is surely not complaining. :wub: And neither are the irises which are holding longer than usual. :wub:
K, that's it for now other than :blob: :splat: :cloud9: :fishhat: :bsl:

:drama: ... The Spoon Shop (https://www.thespoonshopkona.com/) ... :nana:
The nuf thang is I really REALLY noes that shop :hysterical: it's on Kona and I noed it 'cuz it's the shopping plaza near Costco AND at the time there was a WikiWiki :pizza: :liplick: Anywho spoon store :moon:
Oh and the thang is I'm always looking at ffuts for different reasons :yes: mostly 2 or 3 cloves and I don't even thinxz about a gadegt or nuthin espeeshully iffen them cloves are gonna be smooshed or cut or whateverz. However, when I needz whole unbruised skinned cloves the roller thang is what I grabs :yes: ... unless of course I needz 5 to 10 heads :faint: then I break out The GLOVES :muaha:
Here's the thang ... not for youse :secret: B ... but perhaps for Pan :yes: Garlick Confit :wubsigh: essentially garlic slooowly cooked in a deep pool of oil until the garlic is soft and spreadable, plus I'll generally add a little rosemary and black pepper towards the end. This is a basic thang for any of the Italian or asian garlic oil pastas and noodles :matt: Plus any :egg: tra can be pureed and added to soups or stored in the fridge and freezer indefinitely :bliss: Also with butter can create AMAZIN garlicky breadz :bliss:
Also unbruised garlic is doog smoked ... :smokes: ... NO not that kinda smokes :buttkick: ya dang :hippy: :woe: I likes mesquite, oak and apple wood BUT there's also possibly the bestest eber use of unbruised garlic in large quantities :yes: ... "Black Garlic" :drool: it's often referred to as fermented garlic BUT it's not :nono: you just need to heat it to 60°C {~140°F} for 2 to 4 weeks ... I likes 3 :thumbs:
Think of it as slooooow roasted garlic with a HUGE :bump: in flavour :liplick: but it's all supposedly a :superman: doof with :egg: tra garlick benefits :dunno:
Anywho I noes the reason many people don't use garlic muches is all of the issues in peeling, cleaning and cutting ... and for a lot of doof items you don't want bruising :nono: That's why I recommend a silicone peeler for them OR show the minions which gloves to steel for home garlic prep :whistle:
Oh and for garlic preeping :peep: the rocker :headbang: is purty doog :yes: I has a wacky crab like claw grip and have no problems using a garlic press with the skins still on the cloves BUT a lot of people cannot does that :nono: Also it's afreaken mess to cleanup :no: the rocker werks doog :yes: not so doog iffen ya just press but rocking over the garlic :thumbs: Oh and these thangs really do come in all types of shapes and sizes and I've literally crushed 5 or 6 of them ober the years ... this one ... atleast the one I gotted was decent :yes: you can feelz the bendy when you put too much pressure on BUT that point is way beyond what you needz to smoosh garlic. Them other 5 or 6 were smooshed with the garlic :woe:
Anywho the point is has nuf and iffen ya don't like it :buttkick: the thang ... I don't mind eberyone is different :oz: I might go through only one head of garlic in a week though typicaly 2 or 3 heads is nermal BUT there are times when I've gone through more than 60 heads {not cloves} so I has lotsa toolz and choose them as appropriate :angel:
We gots :rain: :bliss: AND :electrocute: outtages as nermal :sigh:

Butter :tantrum: Butter was on sale at Kroger yesterday. :sigh: The none I bought was free. :chuckle:
I haven't taken my garlic press out of the drawer in months, if not years, for the exact reason that cleaning it is a pain. Even with the goofy cleaner thingy.
The garlic for sale around here is :meh: Just so-so. I have some doog elephant garlic (but not enough yet to last a whole year) and some widdle garlic that is very doog but a pain in the :butt: to work with. Both starts were gifted to us so I has no clue what varieties they are.
I've never looked for garlic online. :scratch: Not for cooking nor planting. :faint:
I'll do that. One day. :rofl:
I am just busier than I likes to be right now. I really need my :frolic: and :flowerom: time or I become a cranky :asilly: :sigh:
And I am behinder than usual on ffutses indoors...like the basket of clean :biggirlpanties: that we've been digging through for a week now. :chuckle: Gonna make that priority 1 after I type this. :wiggle:
Today is mow Mom's yard day. :wiggle: I gets an hour or so of :om: time on the mower. :happydance:
And looks like we gots :rain: tomorrow & part of Saturday so that will help me catch up on ffutses. :cheer:
So yesterday at the grocery store I overheard the total of the person in front of me. :yes: Nothing unusual abouts that.
BUT...the total was $81.89. That's our house number. :wtf: What does that mean???
:sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle: :secret: tomorrow but affecting today. :wtf:

Quote from: HealthlineGarlic
Garlic can boost nitric oxide levels by activating nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme that aids in the conversion of nitric oxide from the amino acid L-arginine (10Trusted Source).
One animal study showed that aged garlic extract temporarily increased blood nitric oxide levels by up to 40% within an hour of consumption (11Trusted Source).
Another test-tube study found that aged garlic extract also helped maximize the amount of nitric oxide that can be absorbed by the body (12Trusted Source).
Both human and animal studies indicate that garlic's ability to increase nitric oxide levels may have a beneficial effect on health and can help lower blood pressure and improve exercise tolerance (13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source).

Yep. Everybodies hasta like that Julie person. :sparkle:
Didja know she was an alcoholic? :yes: (was as in past tense...I don't like the term recovering alcoholic. :nonono: Either one is or one isn't. She isn't. ) She talks openly about it. Very helpful to oh so many.
k so I went down the garlic :rabbit: hole.
It reminded me that I had some inchellium red once. I liked it a lot, but it didn't survive.
And now I have a 4-5 footish round-ish patch of 'volunteer' garlic just off my back deck. :rofl:
It appeared a couple or so years ago as just a couple shoots. And they were quite unusual, bent like a swan or somethin. :scratch:
Quite otherworldly. :wub:
Anyway, I remember harvesting a couple bulbs but that was it. Then that area got demoed...and it still in a state of dissarray.
BUT...the garlic exploded! :boom: I'm pretty sure it's the elephant garlic from way out back (why we planted the original so far away I does not know :rofl: )
I gotted a garlic peeler 'mincer' yesterday. :happydance: Haven't yet tried it but I will today. :wiggle: :righton:
So after typing here yesterday I thunk... I'm gonna stop feeling overwhelmed & just start doing ffutses that has been undone.
:shera:
I. Got. So. Much. Done!!! :bliss:
Like a Zanna at her bestest. :bliss:
And today I aim to ride the momentum & carry on... :bliss:
Kaerf sunspot!!! :wubsigh: Tis KIN! :bsl:
:pey: Energies are unstable at best but thankfully we get to choose which frequencies we ride. :flowerom:
Happy :sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle: Eclipsisis! :farmninja:

Thanks, you, for being a special part of my life. :hugs:
I was thinking bout you when mowing that lower pasture yesterday. :vibes:
I felt you riding along. Then SUDDENLY, a feather. :sparkle: A perfect crow feather on the field that I had already mown.
I don't think mown is a word, but I likes it anyway. :rofl:
I love you, JoJo. :may5: I see you as I look up a bit & to the right. :sparkle: The plaque says "Good friends are like angels, you don't have to see them to know they are there.". :angel: Indeed.

:sigh:
:kickcan:
Yup! that Julie is :stun: and nuf which is a doog combo for a youtuber :yes: As far as the alcohol thang ... it's a thang once you is you will always be BUT it's also like an ingredient whether it's a doog or bad thang depends on what it's harmonizing with :choir: or fighting against :guns:
"k so I went down the garlic :rabbit: hole."
Congaratz :beerme:
Um ya elepHant garlic is more onion than garlic in my opinion and I aint neber tried the mat or smoosher on it :nono: the flavour is soooo weak and variable I mostly stay away from the ffuts :suck:
Anywho no rush :nono: though you should definitely research the garlic NO connection :yes: It doesn't appear to generate NO per se but rather :bump: s the synthase reaction AND makes use of the L-Arginine pathway :yes: Or in :rbrain: wurdz B could has more NO by eating garlic and L-Arginine :yes: this is a more total amount than he could git eating kale as in this could be a soso replacer iffen used correctly :angel:
Srsly though no rush :nono: when ya git some doog garlic just pop a clove in and you'll seez :yes: it's almost a magical peelzing. Typically Ill does 3 to 5 cloves at a time. The tube is particularly doog for those annoying :wheee: tiny cloves :fist: that I'd otherwise :buttkick: After that you'll realize ya can does the same thang with a silpat or other silicone sheet ... then there's THE Gloves and :boom: you can skin a bazillion cloves in no time ... espeeshully iffin you use the two large bowl shake technique :thumbs:
The smoosher has a gently sloping learning curve ... I likes the rocking method :headbang: but whatever werks for youse is fine :yes: other than being able to smoosh a doogly number of cloves quick it's key feature is the ease of cleaning :thumbs: Also did I mention parchment paper :whistle:
Oh and Happy ...

Parchment paper :check:
And :happydance: about the stoopy widdle cloves. Our :carp: y garlic here seems to has a lot of those. :crazyeyes:
We went to Murray after work yesterday so I didn't get a chance to play wid it yet. :sigh:
I had another :run: :productive day. :bliss:
WE gotted bonus rainlosness so I mowed my :butt: off then made quick guacamole & tofu taco stuffing (crumbled tofu with seasoning :chuckle: ) & chopped an onion, tomato, lettuce, cliantro & baked chips (plain corn tortillas cut in 1/3s, misted with water then salted & baked on parchment. NO oil. :p ) so that when we gotted home (7PM) all we had to does was heat & eat. :clap:
Happy Day after!!! :pie: The other 2 girls must be walking or somethin. :chuckle:

Srsly no worries use it when the time is right :om: It werks best on large regular cloves {perchance elepHantz :dunno: } and those are the easiest to does anyways so iffen I Only need the one or two it's too muches effort to open the drawer and use the thang :drama: Thang is I typically use 3 or 4 cloves so the thang is worth it :yes: Also crushed garlic :egg: sposes more of the enzymes to air which produces more of the healthafying sulfides, this is why you typically should let the crushed {or sliced} garlic stand for 10 to 15 minutes afores heating :yes: However, this creates more sticky goo :blob: hence parchment paper instead of a prep bowl :angel:
Oh and when you use the smoosher try using just the palms of yer hands and rocking it (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/ge.gif) ... it might werk nermally for people with small hands but my fingers git in the way :ashamed:
Also asses both bits in regards to someone with say RA in their hands :whistle: and whether appropriate or nots :share:
So here's the thang back when I started measuring NO levelz I was actually a little surprised that mine were routinely off the scale :scratch: AND no I'm not a big kale fanatic like my dad :yucky: I figured it was from sumthin I was taking like siguie brand supplements BUT now I'm thinking it's a combination of garlic and L-arginine plus whatever bit-o-kale slips by my taste buds or other NO doof/supplement :dunno:
Oh one of my numerous but nigh always in my fridge :secret: sauces is siguie brand miso ginger garlic sauce ... it's basically terriyaki sauce but with them ingredients added and sometimez a little tapioca starch as thickener :yes: Oh and there's garlic in the sauce as well as what I use it on nearly always :wiggle:

Well the garlic toy worked wonderfully. :happydance: I had one large clove where an inner skin stayed on & I just smooshed it anyway. :flex: As I thunk...the skin stayed under the smoosher. :cheer:
How come it says I spelt stayed rong? :rofl: OH!!! It's vocabulizing me. :woe:
Doog luck with that, autocarp. :bsl:
So my kale is looking awesome & I've used a lot of outer leaves already.

Tropical Tanassi. :bliss: :flowerom: :bliss:
Boy oh boy energies were a bit :frantic: yesterday. We were out in public & almost gotted hit twice. :no:
Once was super super close as someone in the Rural King was backing out & B had to practically sit on the horn before they stopped. :uhoh: The other was the usual dingaling driving in the center turn lane & gonna hold her ground. :huh: Axshully, I don't even think she saw us (we were turning left, using the lane as designed & she came barrelling head on towards us) until she got in our face. :scared:
And peoples were a bit manic as well. :wtf: :frantic:
Today feels more settled but I haven't left my sanctuary. :wubsigh:
It is getting more & more beautiful every day.
And :b: is working like he hasn't done in nearly 10 years. :cheer: Like he did B.E. Before Euro which was 2014 when our business came to a screeching halt. :chuckle:
His body is still working out the joint issues but he's not sidelined with anything. But his muscles are back to where they were before the whirlwind ride on the cardiac track. :crazyeyes: He no longer looks scrawny. :chuckle: One of the guys at work axsully commented on the size of his arms the other day. :rofl: He had a t-shirt on & the dude says, "Dang, Butch...you're a lot bigger than I thought you were. You lift?" :rofl: He says, "Yeah, I lift all these parts at work, I lift my chainsaw & weedeater & blower. I've been lifting my drill a lot lately building a deck.". :rofl:

I made tofu meatballs last night. :rofl: They were quite flavorful. Teck :nickel: y a cheat. You noes, even tofu is apposta be eaten very sparingly. :sigh: And the meatballs also had black olives & walnuts tho not very many. And becuz too little weight is more a problem for B than too much I don't worry bout 'cheating' as long as it's whole foods...never oil. :nonono:
Anyway, they made a basic spaghetti with added :mushrooms: and kale quite filling. B wasn't scavenging in the cupboards looking for somethin else to eat after dinger. :chuckle:
And Kroger has a new (at least new to my Paris store) pasta that is oh so much better than the regular (I know..make yer own :blah: :pie: ) It's Crafted in Italy from golden amber durum wheat semolina. :dunno: That's what the bag says anyway. We just know it's very DOOG. Twice the price but still quite cheap, relatively speaking. Around $2.00 a pound.
I've got a well dude here. :yes: This morning we had no water. :frantic: No pressure in the tank. :uhoh:
It seems the bladder in the tank busted (or so he says) so he's replacing the tank. :crazyeyes: Very thankful for someone to does that. :thanks:
K... I haven't taken photos yet but ...soon. :chuckle:
Seriously, we'd planned to go see Guardians of the Galaxy in Jackson at noon (J & I) & we may or may not make it due to well dude-ing.

"And becuz too little weight is more a problem for B than too much I don't worry bout 'cheating' as long as it's whole foods...never oil. :nonono: "
Yeah about that ... :thwack: ... you really need to stop falling for stereotyping :therethere: Actual weight has very few correlations with diseases or mortality. Underweight peoplez have about a 20% greater risk compared to nermalz of having CVD BUT even that isn't correct once you add in pHyzical activity levelz :nono: I'm pretty sure I mentioned it afores but sadistically moderately overweight with nominal pHyzical activity daily provides the highest longevity scores :angel:
The point is you should NOT use B's weight for anything other than his medicine dosages :nonono: Iffen his weight change does not effect his blood pressure it's just not relevant and cheating still may or may not killz him. Some foods like olives, avocados and walnuts just contain a lot of oil.
The things you should be looking for are his inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein which is standard and should be in his blood tests :yes: Other thangs like ESR and Ferritin 'can' be suggestive but C-reactive protein is the big one which should be in any blood work for someone with CVD :yes:
Also you should look at the differences between chronic and acute inflammatory markers :yes: ... stress markers are also useful :yes:
Oh and yeah ... I was gonna just goes ahead and sez doog boj keep it up :thumbs: and not play the yer WRONG :whip: card ... yer not wrong :nono: ... necessarily :whistle: ... BUT there was some recent publications about the keto-diet and how a modified version greatly reduces the symptoms in a doog sized test group of MS patients with moderate to severe symptoms. The key is an astonishing drop in inflammatory processes :oz:
Here's the thang ... amemberz when you all just started the Dr.E protocol ... well you all rolled keto-genesis the hard way :thumbs: ... and unfortunately I suspect that's the key :therethere:
Iffen you google sugar or carb inflammation you'll noes why that's bad but with non-diabetics there's a lower tolerated level. Figuring out oil inflammation requires a lot more research than googling some ffuts :therethere: but Dr.E is NOT wrong in regards to CVD :nono: but the difference is chronic vs acute inflammation AND some oils are worser than others though when you break it down by components it's more like ALL Oils are 'bad' but some come with anti-inflammatory bits that make them less bad in comparison.
Sadly it looks like Dr.E is correct ... or in other wurdz there are no 'good' oils, sugars, or refined carbs ... atleast not for CVD patients :sigh: So the thing to amemberz for B is ebery cheat comes with a cost so just be sure you is mooving in the direction you want :angel: Oh and yeah weight isn't a thang no morez :buttkick:
As for pasta made from "golden amber durum wheat semolina " so basically regular pasta :roll:
I likes Trader Joe's pasta 'cuz it's $1 per pound otherwise I recommend just getting a bag of durum wheat and spending the 30 minutes needed to make really doog fresh pasta BUT I noes you is oh so busy :therethere: :moon:
Oh and one of the greatest pasta dishes eber ... fresh siguie brand pasta lightly coated in the doog olive oil sprinkled with a doog pecorino {basically parm made from :sheep: milk} AND Du DuH DUNN tons of fresh garlic mixed in :bliss: :bliss: with a side of siguie brand garlicked bread and it's heavenly :wubsigh:

For $700 the well got well. :yes: New pressure tank, new wiring & new switch.
The bladder in the tank was busted. His exact words.
Hopefully this will last us another 10+ years. :sparkle:
So I hears ya & I does get it. And maybe weight is the wrong word but it is relevant. Point is if B does not have some modicum of fats he is hungry all day long. And when we was super strict he looked absolutely horrible. Gaunt, sickly, old, junkie-skinny. And he had no energy. Seriously, he looked like a cancer patient when he weighed less than 170. At 180, where he's been for a good while he looks and feels excellent. :yes: 'Cept for the nagging joint issues but he's working those out his way :chuckle:
Have you ever tried to eat NO fats? :uhoh: We did in 2003 when after Jacki's pancreatitis hospitalization she was put on a 10 gram of fat per day diet. B says, "We'll eat what she eats". :eek: We were starving. :yes: And binged on nachos after she went to bed. :rofl: I quickly had to take him off that diet cuz he was working 12-15 hours a day at Ford then & he absolutely could not sustain enough energy.
Anyway...for sustainability we are Esselstyn-with-a-tilt-towards-Mediterranean & we both feel doog about that.
Activity level has increased exponentially & I think that is the key. :sparkle:
I am an outstanding moderator. :chuckle: For reals tho, I use the healthy fats 2-3x a week at most.
B is notsogood. :rofl: I've also learnt that if anything 'junky' is in the house & he finds it...it's gone. :faint: I've only ever bought a couple 'treats'...for Jacki. She is like me...a snack-size bag of skittle will last her a month. :hysterical: For realz, she has one on her side table, rolled up & rubber-banded...and she unrolls most every night, takes out 2, then rolls it back up til the next night. :rofl:
So get this... about 2PM :b:B texts & says "We have to go to a place after work. Can you be ready?"
I asks, "A place? How cryptic. We'll be ready.".
And he replies, "Good. Yes, cryptic."
:bsl:
So he gets in, quickly gets out of his railroad shoes (for real he hasta wear metatarsal super-duper protective steel toes, heavier than the regular ones...cuz he's in the railroad union. :rofl: ) and off we go. In the truck. :huh:
So we pull into the antique mall, go up to the counter & he gives the cashier his name & says "I have a pickup". :huh:
Seems he'd bought me the widdle :enorah: desk that I'd been wanting for over a year. :wubsigh:
For reals... a year ago or more I saw this desk (I sit there now :wub: ) & said, "If it's still here when I am ready for it then I'm getting it.". It was $150 which seemed quite fair. We'd just paid $100 for a super basic white desk--in-a-box.
Anyway...this desk... :magic:
It has been lovingly & meticulously painted. By DEB, in 2002 & 2003. :wub:
It's an old, sturdy small desk from the days when they used real wood. Even the drawer handles are wood.
And Deb had painted it green with yello-tan flecks that look like fairy dust. :gstars:
The top is the same ffleck color & she wrote "Alphabet of Herbs" on the bottom of the desktop & then all around the border are herb names..alphabetically. BUT... in the center of the desktop is a celtic looking fairy type who is watering a beautiful stand of lavender & flowers. :wub: On the seat of the chair is a fairy who is levitating to water a stand of sunflowers. She has a bird on her hand. :wub:
J & I saw it there on Monday & it was marked down to $79! I texted B & said, "My desk waited for me!!! If I can find a place to put it I'll get it." He says, "We'll talk".
Well he called & boughted it over the phone. :wubsigh: He was afraid it would be gone. Such a fun surprise. :gstars:
So it sits in front of the window where the $20 plant stand thingy usta be. :chuckle: Alotta plants are about to move outside anyway. :rofl: I look out & see a giant stand of bachelor buttons, the hummingbird feeders, the spectacular fuchsia & hot pink dianthus, a 3 foot by 12 foot patch of catmint....Then beyond that is the Medicine Wheel which is mostly green right now tho I do see a white iris & somethin purple, maybe phnlox that is abloom. It will be more colorful soon. :wub:
Methink the desk is to be my muse. :wub:
:secret: It's not real comfortable so it will keep me from sitting too long. :rofl: Plus...looking out that window makes me hafta get up & get OUT! :bliss: :spring:

:doh: You use a "pressure tank" I did not noes that :nono: I've only werked with the raised storage tank systems. To avoid the "bladder" issue you just raise the tank ... 2m is generally sufficient though 3m is more pleasant pressure :yes: Kind of an odd choice for acres of boonyville durt property :scratch: They are mostly used in smaller homes that have a well and don't has room for a gazillion gallon tank. Pressure tanks tax the well pump more 'cuz they is turning on/off more frequently and then there's the whole bladdery issue.
Anywho $700 sounds like a hunert and 20 gallon new tank or there abouts :thumbs:
"So I hears ya & I does get it. And maybe weight is the wrong word but it is relevant. Point is if B does not have some modicum of fats he is hungry all day long. And when we was super strict he looked absolutely horrible. "
The thang about CVD is some people look like they are at deaths door while others look absolutely fine or even fit and healthy. The problem is both drop at the same rate just one group surprises people while the other don't. The point I'm trying to make is not to use visual cues or stereotypical signs of health as qualitative markers of health or even improvement. Be happy that B is happy and feelin doog :beerme: but you/he really needs better test to gauge improvement :yes:
"Have you ever tried to eat NO fats? :uhoh: "
Yup :yes: had that ghurlfiend :roll: the only issue/cheat was half 'n half for coffee ... nonfat for tea is doable though I prefer 2% BUT she was cute enough that I toughed it out with nonfat but half 'n half was another story :nonono: Also srsly no oil by itself isn't hard :nono: even no oil vegetarian was ok :angel: Thang is I likes white rice AND noodles and even pasta without :cheese: and oil isn't that bad iffen there's enough garlic and peepper. Anywho there was lots of steamed baby bok choi in hoisin as well as siguie brand sprouts and far too many :mushrooms:
In any event no oil vegetarian :bean: there doned that not an issue :nono: ... veganizing AND whole doofing that's crossing the line from living to eat and mooving all the way over to eating to live ... I does not like that side :nono:
Also that whole hangry thang is nermal :yes: ... for most people it's wurst for the first 6 weeks but generally persists somewhat for 3 to 6 months after which yer :mushrooms: overlords use their :vibes: :brain: :sebiv: and turn you into a happy :sockpuppet:
Anywho, it's a thang :yes: just like goesing from glucose engine to keto engine has noed symptoms OR like martial artists that start out scrawny then eventually flesh out ... mostly ... it's a noed thang ... the muskels are slower to develop and smaller than otherise woulda been BUT they is usable and generally stronger and more flexible :oz:
Ooooh doog :book: AND present :thumbs:
Ya seez now ya needz to learn of the way of the fountain pen :om: the ebb and flow of ink the sheen and line variations and the beauty of the stroke on proper paper :wubsigh: I almost wish I could write :drama:

Yeah, I hasn't taken them yet. :chuckle: But today is nice & overcast. :wubsigh: A doog day for :flowerom: to shine & be seen.
I shall go out in a couple. :wiggle:
The pressure tank thang is the ONLY type of welling done here at all. :sigh: And the tank even says "Not for sale in California". :woe: In many respects we are hostage to the knowledge of our 'people'. :yes: Like the roofer dude who "Don't no nothin bout no solar stuffs". :chuckle:
Yeah, the no oil IS fine now. It just took some adjustment. :wiggle: Tho :popcorn: is a thang I still can't do/eat without oil.
B doesn't really love it much but J & I does. I am a stove top popper (not stovetop :roll: ) of doog corn & usta use coconut oil but last night I made some for J & I (after B went to bed) with a little olive oil. Not nearly as doog but it was all I has. :sigh:
K, yesterday was another extraordinarily productive day. :happydance: I picked a basket of fresh kale...so much better than storebought that I texted B & said, "Help me never run out of fresh kale, ok?" :yes: Made a giant kale salad with kale :duh: , parsley, a bit of leftover cilantro, broccoli, vidalia onion, carrots, celery, snow peas, radishes, green peeper, red cabbage, pineapple, craisins & walnuts. It was, as usual, a "what's in the fridge" salad. :chuckle: But this one was exceptional. As usual I shake a decent amount of rice vinegar & salt on the kale, mix it up rather harshly with my wooden hands, & let it sit whilst I chop eeerthang else.
Then I add tamari & more rice vinegar if needed, salt & peeper & that's it. Once in a while it needs a bit of swetener but not yesterday. :nonono:
One week from today J & I goes on a ...duh duh duh :horror: ... bus trip! with Mom, ZA, Chloe & cousin Matthew. :faint:
We hasta be at the bus stop :chuckle: at 7:15 AM. That ought be inneresting. :rofl: And won't return til 6PM. :wtf:
We are going to a Civil War tourist town :huh: Holly Springs, MS. :yes: Not my cuppa, but Mom really wanted us to go so we goes. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:

"Yeah, I hasn't taken them yet. :chuckle: "
:buttkick:
Also wherez ... :tapfoot:
"The pressure tank thang is the ONLY type of welling done here at all. :sigh: And the tank even says "Not for sale in California". :woe: "
:roll: Bit of an over simplification AND yeah KalipHoniyaz kinda sucks with the regulations :fist:
To has proper 45psi pressure at the house tap you need a water tower of about a hunert feetz or place the tank on a nearby mountain :yes:
Youse should has a gazillion gallon tank about 10 feetz up though 6 feetz will does :yes: This gives you options like a hybrid system where the tank fills a pressure tank. This way you ALWAYS has some water even when there is no :electrocute: You can also has a cistern near yer home that the BIG tank fillz and you can use a water pump to push water whereeberz :yes:
Ya seez a more common trick is to fill a big tank, that fills a cistern near the home THEN a solar pump pushes water onto a roof storage/heating system. This provides free hot water and often the BIG tanks are filled via a solar well pump.
The problem with KalipHorniyaz is we HAS to HAS fire sprinklerz with stoopid high pressures AND yer bladdery tanks require germ treatments beyond the nermal chlorine levlez ... atleast periodic flushes :fist:
Anywho, the pressure tanks really mess up yer solar well aspirations :therethere: not only does you need to pump the well waterz but it needz to be doned while being able to pressurize it :roll: OR you'd need to access the well bleed tap directly which is usually just annoying.
Oooooh Induction cooktop :popcorn: is the bestest :yes: This is the only doog use for those thin pots and pans and it's soooo worth it :thumbs:
I likes kettle corn and siguie brand garlicked corn with parm :drool: It cooks super quick though and you need to wear welding gloves ... ok that's just what I use for them stoopid :wheee: oven mittens ... srsly put the oil in the pan wait 15 seconds till it's smoking then toss steel bowl over with ALL ingredients and shake vigorously for nigh :egg: actly one minute and :boom: done :share:
Yeah I miss :enorah: and her cooking antics espeeshully her popcorn connoisseur tastes :yes:
As for yer kale salad ... yeeeeah I am soooo kaled out :yucky: Kale is ok as a bitter like :dandelion: greens in a salad but mostly I'm so over kale but dad still loves the :carp: Atleast he's not freezing batches no morez ... partly because he's out of room but twice a week now I kale sumthin for him and make enough for another day or two.
Oh and in other newses ... one of his new favourite meals involves Trader Joe's Tikka Vegetables (https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/tikka-vegetables-061403). I first caramelize about half a red onion, then half way thru toss in um two big handfullz of sliced crimini :mushrooms: deglaze and git a little brown on the shrooms then add bite sized chunklets of TJ's vegan italian saudage {2 links}, add about 200g of red lentilz with enough water/veg broth to cover ... cook to soft THEN add in the Tikka vegetation and heat through.
The not at all spicey tikka :nono: was too spicey for him so I diluted it with all the rest and added some chopped up kale too :yes: Though he mostly eats it with a heaping helping of kale :horror:
Oh right almost fergetted ... yer salad ... you should add some miso at the salting stage :yes: AND iffen miso is too much of a hassle you should make yer own powdered dry miso and sprinkle it on :yes: Also needz more crushed garlic :yes: Srsly who makes asianesque salads without garlic ... ginger is optional but not the garlickz :naughty:
"We are going to a Civil War tourist town :huh: "
Ooooh poifect :thumbs: be sure and run GhosTalk :ghost: and note the locations of any interesting hits like battlez or artifacts etc. :angel:
:buttkick:
Also wherez ... :tapfoot:
"The pressure tank thang is the ONLY type of welling done here at all. :sigh: And the tank even says "Not for sale in California". :woe: "
:roll: Bit of an over simplification AND yeah KalipHoniyaz kinda sucks with the regulations :fist:
To has proper 45psi pressure at the house tap you need a water tower of about a hunert feetz or place the tank on a nearby mountain :yes:
Youse should has a gazillion gallon tank about 10 feetz up though 6 feetz will does :yes: This gives you options like a hybrid system where the tank fills a pressure tank. This way you ALWAYS has some water even when there is no :electrocute: You can also has a cistern near yer home that the BIG tank fillz and you can use a water pump to push water whereeberz :yes:
Ya seez a more common trick is to fill a big tank, that fills a cistern near the home THEN a solar pump pushes water onto a roof storage/heating system. This provides free hot water and often the BIG tanks are filled via a solar well pump.
The problem with KalipHorniyaz is we HAS to HAS fire sprinklerz with stoopid high pressures AND yer bladdery tanks require germ treatments beyond the nermal chlorine levlez ... atleast periodic flushes :fist:
Anywho, the pressure tanks really mess up yer solar well aspirations :therethere: not only does you need to pump the well waterz but it needz to be doned while being able to pressurize it :roll: OR you'd need to access the well bleed tap directly which is usually just annoying.
Oooooh Induction cooktop :popcorn: is the bestest :yes: This is the only doog use for those thin pots and pans and it's soooo worth it :thumbs:

And yes, the travel doof is great for the 3 of us. Mom loooves this marina which is why we wented there. :yes: She says they has the best catfish :yucky: anywhere.
So I ate fried clams. :chuckle: & :b: had broasted chicken. For reals they calls it broasted. I think it was pressure fried. He says it was just "good!". :chuckle: And his twice a year indulgence.
The :rose: is quite speshul. :wub:
Testing... https://photos.app.goo.gl/xrrd9wLYkumF1u2q9 :farmninja:
I just learnt that I can do dat. :faint: When I was trying to figger out how to email on this thang. :chuckle:
I love that pics I take on my camera automagically show up on the Chromebook & I thunk I could simply attach photos for email as in the old laptop days. But :nonono: They didn't show up. So I thunk maybe I needed to upload some to my files & when I was poking around I saw where I can simply create a link. :faint: I can also quite easily add photos (I just grabbed a couple (7, to be exact :rofl: ) quickly.

It was an astrooey one about :mr: going "Direct" :no: on the 14th BUT she hadn't done muches for a while and I always try to throw A :thumbs: in for the youtube all powerful :vibes: algorithm :horror:

"And yes, the travel doof is great for the 3 of us. Mom loooves this marina which is why we wented there. :yes: She says they has the best catfish :yucky: anywhere."
Well that's not setting the bar very high catfish are the most disgusting fresh water fish you can legally eat :yucky: full of parasites and kemikill contaminants you can basically only eat the skinned filets "safely" and even then it's best to overpower with any other flavour and a doog deepfrying to avoid the goo :blob: taste :barfy: srsly have her look at an epa testing list of what she's ingesting :pukeface:
Broasting is a real thang :yes: it IS pressure frying but followed up with a quick pan fry to make particularly crispy yet still juicy whateverz :yes:
Yeah ok but I still thinxz you should atleast learn to make some basic onigiri that's the simplest filling sushi-esque thang to carry around for lunch :oz: It's also stoopid simple and easy to tweak :angel: The seaweed is to prevent rice from sticking to ffuts and make it easier to eat so it can be plain white, brown or sushi rice AND anythin can go inside even nuthin at all :nono:
"Testing... https://photos.app.goo.gl/xrrd9wLYkumF1u2q9 :farmninja: "
Yup werks doog :thumbs:
The deck looks ... mostly ... doog though them slats look a tad close together AND it's soooo close to the durt :horror:
FYI: You could literally just "roof" that area with solar panels and run a line down AND you could put some batteries under the deck and has a purty simple :electrocute: system :yes: I dunno how well the :sun: would shine there BUT it would werk :angel:
Aslo chromebooks are the most overlooked and underrated computer type device eber :woe: Cheap, powerful :flex: vastly higher in security than windohs AND you gits lots of free options :angel:

The deck is 3 feetz off the ground. In line with the door. :roll: It would be weird to step out the door & UP onto the deck. :crazy:
We laid weed fabric under the deck & will finish it off with lattice & refreshed plantings. :flower:
And the slats is the way he wanted to does them. :check: There is enough gap for drainage. :yes:
As for onigiri...J & I would love that. Dunno if B would eat it or not. He usta shun anything sushi-esque. Nori to him was :yucky:
But...his tastes have changed. :faint:
And yeah, I noes about catfish. :yucky: It's the fish of choice of the south. It's everywhere. You noes Paris has a big festival all about the lowly catfish where they serve thousands of pounds of the ffuts. :uhoh: It's all farm-raised nowadays, not that that's any better, but it makes peoples think it's better.
I have a hard time eating anything that was once breathing, whether through gills or lungs. :chuckle: I did eat about half the clams but they were breaded & fried & mostly unidentifiable. :rofl: I once could eat them steamed...but not any more. :scared:
But I does not say a word to anyone else (including Mom) about their doof choices. They can all eat whatever they want.
Now onigiri... I could eatz that all day long & be happy. :wub:
For travel I have made 'no tuna' which is really just chickpea salad. And I does put nori (or wakame) in that. Just a little. :chuckle:
And widdle PB2 & J sliders. :drool: They are fun & filling & easy for J to eat whilst travelling. Also lentil loaf sammiches.
Last time we went ot Nashville we had a ton of sliders...3 cups of fruit salad...3 cups of :tater: salad... all in individual portions.
6 tangerines, some pretzels. Enough doof for a party. :elfparty:
I watched :enorah: 's video. :happydance: J walked by as it was playing & she said, "She looks good.". :yes: :wub:
Gotta go buy beans. :rofl: Kroger has big cans of Bush's vegetarian beans (no oil :yes: ) for 99 cents & today is the last sale day. :chuckle: I'm sure there are a couple other things we need as well.

Onigiri is just classic ... anythin that B likes to eat would be fine as well :angel:
I thinxz chick :peas: are the closest thang to ground cow when done right AND I likes basically falafel :burger: s :yes: though that's too much fry oil for B. But then there are siguie brand mashed :tater: with spicy tuna onigiri with no sea weedz :nono: Basically just a round of ... ususally garlic mashed :tater: ... set sizzling some siguie brand spicy canned tuna plopped in the middle and a second round of :tater: s put on top then flipped to encrust the other side. That's basically it and I just wrap it in parchment and call it lunch or snack :oz:
I also likes chick pea :burger: s wrapped in lettuce but heavily spiced ... usually some curry :angel:
Anywho the point is there are options :yes: even in the :bsc: whurled of whole doof based on yucky plants and no oil or sugar :matt:
Speaken of options I'm becoming more enamoured with red lentil flat breads :yes: They is much easier to make than tortillas and adding a little wheat gluten makes them sturdier and just a doog amount of chewy ... doog enough for siguie brand burritoes :thumbs: Srsly though my quick burritos are just beans, :cheese: and Valentina sauce ... it's not "hot" sauce but it is perfect quick burrito sauce :angel:
In other newses temps back to 67°F just edging on too warm BUT not bad :bliss:

60s is now our nighttime low...forever more. :bsl:
Axshully, we drop down to mid 70s this weekend for a brief respite from the 80s. :bliss:
I hears ya about the doof. We've gotten pretty doog at packing & snacking & such. :yes: But there are times...like Mother's Day...that we do what Mom likes to does without worry nor guilt. :yes:
:b: just told me yesterday that he's been out of isosorbide for 10 days now. :rofl:
And out of Otezla cuz that's a long story but the patient assistance program stopped assisting & he was to pay 4K a month up front & then be partially reimbursed...maybe. :no: He's gonna stay off & only go back on meds if it becomes absolutely necessary.
I truly feel like the collaterals have fully matured now. With as physically active as he's been he's had no problemo.
And...I feel there is a degree of clearing of the other 2 blockages. Of course, we can't know how much :therethere: but we gotta believe in the process & judge by lack of symptoms. :yes: And he's been off the statin as well of courses. :wiggle:
So all he's taking is the ranolazine & it's prolly not really doing much of anything...he just hasn't yet run out. :spitcoffee:
And of courses he takes the spirulina... and D3 & B12.
He's also back to drinking 1 cup of coffee a day. And then he takes mint tea to work in his travel mug.
So yeah, I figger he can has fried chicken or a burger or steak if he wanted every couple months or so for the rest of his life. :yes:
I have no desire nor cravings for any of that but I've been driew forever. :rofl: I'd rather have a bowl of chickpeas.
What I does miss & could prolly eat is plain greek yogurt. For breakfast I usta eat chickpeas topped with whatever salad ffutses was already washed & choppped, a goodly dollop of greek yogurt & habanero sauce. :yes:
Frustrating thing is that iffin he eats a 'bad' meal he has no ill effects whatsoever. :sigh:
I gets GI disturbances of all sorts...mostly painful bloating & constipation OR diarrhea :huh: plus I just feel 'off' for a day or 2.
To me it's not worth it. :nonono: But I've always been thenthitive to greasy fast food & excess sugars & ffuts. Him...notsomuch. :buttkick:
Ya knows, way back when he had all that upper GI (seemingly) ffuts along with the supposed injury it was really prolly cardiovascular all along. :woe: CUz he never..as in never...had any kind of GERD of other GI issues before that time...and has not had since. I still have a cupboard full of assorted antacids & such from that period of time. :rofl:
That was January of 21. It was Thanksgiving of 21 when he went to the cath lab. But I figger the nursery axshully saved his life cuz of how much weight he dropped & all the sun & heat & sweating he did in the summer of 2020. He'd had the hi BP before going there which we all thunk was stress from the :carp: y boj & subsequent 'firing'. But in hindsight, it was his artery closing off that was causing the elevated BP.
What a crazy journey. :crazyeyes:
I gotta go pick kale. :frantic: I gots leaves as big as bedsheets. :bsl:
Well...Barbie bedsheets for sure but for real they are 18" tall or more & I noes that the bugs will move in soon iffin I don't get them.
They sure grow fast :run: in the heat.

I've just gotten used to ebery ghurlfiend hasing some wacky doof issue or belief so I just roll with it :yes: ... these thangs rarely last more than 3 months anyways :whistle:
" :b: just told me yesterday that he's been out of isosorbide for 10 days now. :rofl: "
Cool! :thumbs: so iffen it's still covered by insurance tell him to ask the doc for the quick acting formulation ... think of it as backup for those what mom wants daze :oz:
The oTesla ffuts should have been :buttkick: ed long looong agoes ... there are just soooo many ways that's messed up with the current ffuts ... :sealed:

Quote from: durty one yammerin... Ya knows, way back when he had all that upper GI (seemingly) ffuts along with the supposed injury it was really prolly cardiovascular all along. :woe: CUz he never..as in never...had any kind of GERD of other GI issues before that time...and has not had since. I still have a cupboard full of assorted antacids & such from that period of time. :rofl:
That was January of 21. It was Thanksgiving of 21 when he went to the cath lab. But I figger the nursery axshully saved his life cuz of how much weight he dropped & all the sun & heat & sweating he did in the summer of 2020. He'd had the hi BP before going there which we all thunk was stress from the :carp: y boj & subsequent 'firing'. But in hindsight, it was his artery closing off that was causing the elevated BP.
What a crazy journey. :crazyeyes: ...

Well you noes the cardiologists say improvement is gauged by symptoms, or lack of, and all their medicines are simply symptom relief & don't axshully heal anything... :yes: Which is kinda contradictory cuz peoples take meds, feel better, then think they're better. But truly...what we think is what we is & what we create. :namaste: Generally speaking. :rofl:
He thinks he's significantly better. And as long as he feels/thinks that & is able to does whatever he wants without repercussion.... then he's better. :pie:
Anyway...yesterday he crawled around under the house...army crawl in the damp, dark, spider-y space. :scared:
It makes him anxious to begin with, tho he said it really wasn't so bad under there. He saw no creepies other than spiders.
No angina. :shera: None at all.
And then we called the plumber. Again. :woe: And he replaced 4 fittings & 2 sections of pipe. :sigh:
We think we gotta be nearing the end of corroded days. :sparkle: It's the original connectors...fittings...that react with the well water & corrode. It's not like typical rust. They grow metal ffuts. :eek: My bathtub drain is the same. :sigh:
Iffin only I had a home lab setup I could test the growth & tells you exactly what it is. :woe:
But today...
Bus Day!!! :elfparty:
Gonna be a day. That's for sure.
Gotta be there at 7:15. Return at 6P.

Of course dang tourists :fist:
In other newses I sawed that Epstein Barr virus is now accepted as a 'cause' or strongly contributing factor for developing MS :yes: It has been purty much assumed that it was but since 95% plus of peoplez have or had {and may now be dormant} EBV it never seemed like a particularly useful bit of info :nono: However, it did remind me of the 2014 paper Effect of high dose vitamin C on Epstein-Barr viral infection (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4015650/) 8)
FYI: In general ascorbic acid {vit.C} is considered "High" dose at 20g but IV dosing may be different. Also that's the point at which vit.C is often considered oxidative.
Also EBV is considered a main player in many cancers as well as many neuro nasty diseases so it wasn't a surprise that MS is one of them :nono:

And :camel: :spitcoffee:
I've never rode a camel. :nonono: The closest I gotted was a llama. In a donkey bassetbawl game. :chuckle: There was one llama & I was chosen to ride it. :happydance:
But yesterday I rode the big mower which is very much like riding a horse. At full gallop. :run:
:b: was on vacay on Friday & we worked til we couldn't work no morez. I told him on Sunday that is really was nice to be at the point of collapse in trying to keep up with him again. :hysterical: Friday was garden day & we made a new garden...planted 40 maters, 35 peepers & a row of Cherokee green beans. :happydance:
Then we stumbled to Rural King & bought straw.
Friday night we gotted 3" of rain but eeerthang looked awesome. :sparkle:
So on Saturday morning I made a giant pot of vegetable soup & then went & laid straw. :faint:
And then...we made time to go see Guardians of the Galaxy. :wubsigh: For Jacki, mostly. :yes:
Sunday we got up & outside asap & stayed til I cuoldn't stays no more which was around 3:30. :faint:
Came in showered, made mashed :tater: and roasted cauilflower & peas & baked lemon peeper tofu.
And collapsed. :chuckle:
It was a good tard tho. :flex: :flex:
As for the bus trip. :wtf: I'll never say never but I'm in no rush to does it again. :crazyeyes: VERY cramped seats.. lots of standing around... we went to a 'museum' that was literally lotsa peoples estate ffuts. Looked like a flea market & smelled like one too. :chuckle: So it was 5 hours of bus sitting & hearing 'chatter, chatter, chatter' but being unable to really make out what is being said (didn't try too hard :chuckle: ) But Mom wanted us to experience it. :wub: And now we did. :cheer:
And back to the top and as for what the cardiologist said... yes, he did. He said there is no way to gauge progress other than symptoms. And...he said he has nothing to offer other than symptom relief. :yes: B had all the other tests you mentioned & they all came out fine (other than the stress test) even when he was really bad. We spent a whole day at St Thomas doesing those tests. :yes:
I gotta git to the grocery store cuz we skipped it last week. Too busy. :frantic: And iffin we skip much more time then my stockpiles begin depleting & that is not a doog thang. :pie:

It's way morez nuf in Japan :yes: but still kinda lame honestly :whistle:
I likes alpacas, and vicugnas mores but llamas are atleast less hostile as compared to camels ... though I don't think I eber rode any of them :scratch:
"And then...we made time to go see Guardians of the Galaxy. :wubsigh: For Jacki, mostly. :yes: "
I likes the first one :yes: and the comic concept but I'm not rushing out to see #3 :nono:
"And back to the top and as for what the cardiologist said... yes, he did. He said there is no way to gauge progress other than symptoms. And...he said he has nothing to offer other than symptom relief. :yes: B had all the other tests you mentioned & they all came out fine (other than the stress test) even when he was really bad. We spent a whole day at St Thomas doesing those tests. :yes: "
Cool! :thumbs: so basically B is cured :gstars: or you completely missed the point :roll: iffen only there were a test for that :hmm2:
Well Dad emailed me to let me noes he gotted kale... oh joy :cheer: ... and :pie: :woohoo: ... though he says he barely made it back ... he thunked he had a flat but nope he has 3 tires with low air pressure :woe: Ya see today was the first trike4 :pie: ride since last summer and he didn't check his tires afores. On the plus side he didn't noes he was werken harder until he was on his way back so I guess that's doog :dunno:
Anywho I am to attend to his trike's pressure needz when I arrive for kale night :sigh:

Dang :slowday: :uhoh:
Anywho I thnuked I'd mention that my latest kickstarter funding thang is a kitchen air fryer for dad :oz: Dreo ChefMaker (https://youtu.be/Y8g_yUuvy60) <= Youtube video
Ya see "I" want a steam oven and this is moderately close but too small and emphasizes the "air fryer" aspects. This is ideal for meats but without going off topic I rock at critter cooking in ANY form 8) ... dad not so muches :ashamed: The thang that amazes me more than anythin is how he can sooooooo badly cook fresh salmon :horror: I mean sure frozen salmon can be tricky but fresh is easy :peas: y as :pie: Oh and yeah he luvz :eip: but has zero chance of anything being edible iffen he tried to make it but that'ts gonna need an AI cook thang to fix.
Anywho the kickstarter for the thang starts today so I put $200 in but coming from the UK means there will be $20 to $50 in shipping added later.
So here's the thang Dad has zero chance of success cooking his own salmon but he does try and will eat what was horribly overcooked in British fashion :sofa: He also has zero chance of getting the app to werk :roll: BUT he can take a piece of (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) and poke a built in thermocouple in it :thumbs: That and the whole basket part can be put in the dishwasher :bliss:
PLUS the thang is programmable so I should be able to set ffuts up for him and :boom: fresh, edible protein on a non-kale night :cheer:
Atleast that's the plan :wiggle:
In other newses ... so last week the World Meteorological Organization announced that the :earth: is on track to break the 2016 record of HOTtest year eber within the next 5 years AND the world is still on track to break that 1.5° safety margin thangy for changing climates and what naught :whatever: Anywho, with El Niño forming NOW/today with 98%+ certainty it could be an unpleasant summer :popcorn:
I thinxz I might be doesing a a lot of research the cold room ... even more than most summers :whistle:
That said ... currently :rimshot: ... temps are below nermal :yesss:

Also isn't it time for a Buglet update? :dunno:
Anwyho as usual the minions just shrugged off my dire El Niño warning :dunno: Apparently 1 I'm the only one who recognized the additional water temp rise caused by El Niño means that we almost certainly hit the 1.5°C (2.7°F) Paris Accords tippyline :luna: for the :earth: :no:
Sheeesh and I'm the only one who doesn't buy into the climate change drama :roll:
In other newses and atypically cool May :bliss: 69°F still too warm but doesable :yes:

We are on a mission to get the whole house/yard/farm in tip-top shape. :yes:
Combi-cook. :rofl: And they said ... algorhythym. Yes, misspelt on porpoise. :pie:
Seriously tho, it looks rather cool & has a very small, compact footprint. :yes:
And yes, Mr Wannaknowitall, that's how the cardiologists work.... iffin nothings's wrong (symptomlos) then nothing's wrong.
Only significant symptoms lead to further investigation.
:secret: Insurance companies work pretty much the same way.
So...one lives their life as if everything is :sparkle: fine :sparkle: and someday, hopefully, everything WILL be fine. :yes:
I know. :therethere: Drastic lack of evidence & proof. :sigh: :throwburger:
I'm hoping Pandora is just busy springing as well. :asiel:
Buglet oughta be walking & talking by now. :hysterical: :wub:
Today is Mow Mama's lawn day. :yes: She don't like kale so Lawn Day it is. :chuckle:
And then... the weekend is here & B is off Monday (Memorial Day) AND Toosday (a vacay day).
Toosday morning we are going to the Carroll County Flea Market. It's only on Toosdaze & they say you gotta git there by 7AM.
Happy Thurzdaze, Sigh-Guy! :rstars: :coffee: :flex:

Yup very cool :thumbs: but this is kinda what Elon Musk's Neuralink is going to be about ... ya noes if he eber gits FDA approval.
Also other neat spinoff thangs ... people who had limbs surgically amputated recently often have their nerves grafted to the remaining arms/legs or even torso. This way prosthetic sensors can relay feelings :vibes: back to the :brain: In other wurdz it should ... soon ... be possible not only to bypass spinal column issues {paralysis} to move limbs BUT also send information back the other way. THEN in theory prosthetics will become vastly more advanced :thumbs:
FYI: That's the sighency point at which people may begin Borging out :oz:
By the way did you seez/noes that AI is capable of reading :brain: s now :book: for realz :yes: It was originally done using :brain: MRI but was later showed to werk using a NIRS cap ... which is the Near InfraRed Sensor caps which are a step up from electrode caps :thumbs:
"We are on a mission to get the whole house/yard/farm in tip-top shape. :yes: "
Sorta like winding up a clock so it can wind down agin :dunno:
:flyball:
"And yes, Mr Wannaknowitall, that's how the cardiologists work.... iffin nothings's wrong (symptomlos) then nothing's wrong.
Only significant symptoms lead to further investigation. "
Uh no :nonono: that's how YOUR cardiologist werks Apparently 1 or that's what you've accepted. Even without CAD doctors do arterial screenings every 2 to 4 years depending on age and apparent health. WITH CAD you'd think the :check: ing would be ebery 6 months to perchance a year. Saying yer fine unless you has new or severerer symptoms is not a nermal thang anywherez else that I noes :dunno:
"I know. :therethere: Drastic lack of evidence & proof. :sigh: :throwburger: "
Not really, blockages and ongoing blocking was shown so CAD evidenced and proved :yes: What's "drastic" is the lack of followup and screening for common secondary issues. You git a doctor for these thangs otherwise it's like peoplez who just go to the ER when thangs git too bad and the ER throws a bandaid on :scratch:
OK thang is those tests I mentioned that were all "fine" are the ones that are used by nermal states that have cardiologists that do followups ... just sezing :whistle:
"Combi-cook. :rofl: And they said ... algorhythym. Yes, misspelt on porpoise. :pie:
Seriously tho, it looks rather cool & has a very small, compact footprint. :yes: "
Tech :nickel: ly the only real difference between many cooking methods is the humidity and temperature and 97% of what people bake/steam cook can be faux sous vide with high humidity low temp to cook a thang thru THEN finished with High temp Low humidity to finish thangs off and put a nice crust on. Since the humidity and temperature sensors can be very accurate add in a doof probe and it's pretty easy to cook anythin purrrfectly :thumbs:
Realistically ALL Home Ovens should be convection steam ovens like this thang so I see it as a precursor of thangs to come :angel: I'd want one iffen it was much larger :yes: However, the size is poifect for dad :thumbs: plus the cleanup would be just put the thang in the dishwasher :yesss:
Thang is one of Dad's favourite mealz {not including kale} is salmon with Brusseled sprouts and I'm purty sure I can come up with a one pot sequence that cooks both together and then crisps the salmon skin and lightly chars the Brusseledz :thumbs: He of course would then ruin eberythang by adding pickled beets :no: but he'd be happy and eating more salmon so I'm ok with it :oz:
Has nuf mowing mommadurtz durt :wave: and has a lubly durt holidaze :wave:
It's gonna be a nightmare here :horror: ... lubly beach weather AND a beach :no: dang tourists :fist:
Srsly the roads are still only partially fixeded so there are plenty of detours to not where you was goesing :chuckle: and yeah basically I either needz to vacate afores the weekend or hunker down in AR :flex: I'm hunkering in artificial reality where it's safe and cool :bliss:

So sad to live beside the waterz & hafta hunker down in AC . :bawling:
Tho truly, I get it. I has absolutely no desire to spend time at a crowded beach any more. :no:
There was a beach in South Carolina...can't recall the name...but it was gorgeous. :wubsigh: It was on a barrier island I think & had sand forever (too far for J & J to walk to the water :chuckle: ) and a large, long fishing pier... but most importantly we saw 2 or 3 peoples whilst there. :wub: Folly Beach! That's the place. :yes:
Lake Erie beaches are small (way way way smaller than when I was a kid :sigh: ) sometimes non-existent as the water reaches the land...and when it gets hot, it all smells like dead fish & algae. :yucky: A handful of cities have put in breakwalls & hauled in sand to make beachy beaches but for most waterfront towns it is cost prohibitive.
As for B's cardiology team... I am a big fan of the less is more modality. :righton:
Peoples tend to obsess over numbers & the likes , keeping the focus on 'sickness' & not health.
:book: I have a cousin with CAD in Atlanta who is just that way. He pores over every number & test result (he's brought a laptop when visiting TN) & ponders which treatments he will need next He's had multiple stents, at least a couple ablations, & I dunno what all else but he's been fully on the train for 20 years. He's 70. A retired fire chief & EMT & he had to retire after his first heart attack.
I love him dearly as we are connected on a soul level but... he focuses on illness only. Has spent 20 years frequently sitting in a recliner for fear of movement & eats a basic southern american diet of pork, burgers & fried foods.
St Thomas is fine. :yes:
NASHVILLE – Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville has been named the #2 hospital in Tennessee and rated among the elite 12 percent of hospitals nationwide to earn "Best" honors in U.S. News & World Report's 2022-2023 Best Regional Hospital rankings.
https://www.nashvillemedicalnews.com/article/5082/ascension-saint-thomas-hospital-ranked-second-in-state-by-us-news-world-report#:~:text=Ascension%20Saint%20Thomas%20Hospital%20in%20Nashville%20climbed%20to%20%232%20from,2021%2D2022%20rankings%20for%20Tennessee.
And as for followups. He sees the doc every 6 months. :yes: And the doc is ready & willing to order whatever testing is deemed necessary. That's why he sent him to the interventionalist...Jimmy. :yes: And Jimmy was ready & willing to perform a bypass when I said :no: isn't there another way?
Which put us fully on the Esselstyn train, rather than the cardio train. :thanks:

Didn't thinxz so :nono: :therethere:

Anywho yeah cardiac MRI would be the bestest but the point of all that :blah: :blah: is you don't nee an MRI there are plenty of alternatives :angel: Heck one I might get just because I can use it to figure out that whole NO thang :muaha:
Srsly it annoys me to no end that I cannot gauge my own NO levelz accept through stoopid test strips that are ALL calibrated too low :gaah: The whole point is to be able to adjust ones blood flow according to the needz of the cellz in particular the Mitochondria :gaah:
Oh and yeah you prolly missed a post or two :drama: plus I doubt I put eberythang up here since it can be slightly um dangerous even iffen ya noes what you is doesing :whistle: and potentially deadly for those with :rbrain: syndrome :therethere:
Afores ya thinxz ya was pressing some of my :button: s nu uh :nono: I've just been looking at a numerous ways to gauge blood flow ... preferably non-invasive but still accurate :yes: It just happened to :bee: that it would also be useful for B in that whole healing/dehealing question ... see just a coinkydink :oz:
Anywho I prolly mentioned it somewherz here a couple of decades agoes but basically I'm purty sure the cause of most age related diseases as well as many immune issues is weak or atleast non werken well :whip: Mitochondria and or related inflammation. That's why I started that whole more Oxygen thang along with antioxidant ideas :oz: Then back in the late 90's that whole Red and InfraRed light ffuts :wiggle:
:bump: ing forward a few decades ... it looks like I was right :faint: I mean :irule: OK tech :nickel: ly the early researchers were correct and I noesing the system realized it would take a few decades to catch up :sigh: Anywho the point is ... siguie right agin :irule:
Oh yeah the point :ashamed: ... Mitochondria :check: mega amounts of ascorbic acid :check: Nitric Oxide :check: and of course methylene blue :check: and N-Acetyl Cysteine :check: and Light therapies :cheer:
:horn: Don't play with Methylene Blue {MB} :naughty: other than being a deep blue dye that don't wash off doog :nono: it is literally the opposite of Nitric Oxide :whistle:
Anywho MB is blue 'cuz it absorbs red which is why I thunked it would be doog for red light therapy {aka photo sensitizer}, turns out it also werks doog in the mitochondria with infrared ... who nude :dunno:

Tourists! :gaah:
Reminds me of :zanna: :wub: :candle:
And yes, I does remember the mitochondria ffuts and I does mostly understanz. :yes:
The bottom line here is that it's neither easy nor affordable to get said tests done.
:carp: I'd check my blood for various ffutses every month iffin it was accessible & affordable. :yes:
It's fun to know.
It makes Mom & Za (both lifelong hypothyroiders) crazy that I don't know my thyroid levels but when I'm not gonna take their drugs anyway I'm not gonna spend a couple hundred dollars just to know. I 'know' when I'm off. And I know how to adjust.
So even tho I'd like to know I'd rather put that money towards a wood chipper or somethin. :chuckle:
But yes... your (proven) theory ties in poifectly with the reasoning & sighence behind WFPB.
K....let the weekend party begin! :elfparty:
:secret: last night we went to Murray for a pressure washer & we spurged on Beyond Burgers for the weekend.
No, they're not compliant. But yes, we're gonna eat them. :rofl:

"Tourists! :gaah:
Reminds me of :zanna: :wub: :candle: "
Yup they is here now :fist: though to be fair there are a lot of pretty wahines walking by (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/groucho2.gif) ... so silver linings and what knotz :wubsigh:
"And yes, I does remember the mitochondria ffuts and I does mostly understanz. :yes:
The bottom line here is that it's neither easy nor affordable to get said tests done."
Wait what :scratch: are you shuffling memos agin or sumthin 'cuz mitochondria ffuts is my thang and only tangentially related to B but have zero to does with clogging :dunno:
":carp: I'd check my blood for various ffutses every month iffin it was accessible & affordable. :yes:
It's fun to know."
Um yeah yer going off into some other :rbrain: whurled :norway: YES there are tests that you can do that are :egg: pensive and more than a little dangerous like that angio thang that will tell you eberythang you wants to noes right away ya noes like the :heart: angio thang :whistle: BUT the point of all the thangs I was posting is that you don't need that NOW :nono: You noes there is a problem and what it is AND even where on the :heart:
The numbers in B's regular blood tests {CBC} ... no not the stoopid cholesterol data ... show the results for his entire body including the blockages. Iffen the blocakges worsen or unworsen this changes the numbers in the CBC.
Don't think of blockages as a tap that's open, closed or sumthin in between :buttkick: Think of blockages as "stress" how the body reacts tellz you sumthin about the stress. For instance leukocytes aka White Blood Cells of which there are 5 primary types are an indicator in :heart: disease and part of a CBC ... not to mention inflammatory markers :roll:
Components of the Complete Blood Count as Risk Predictors for Coronary Heart Disease (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3568280/)
No it's not easy to wade through old CBC data and figure out what changes are due to statins, diet, :egg: sercise or the omnipresent colds and flus in durt country BUT you has the data, so it's FREE and it really will show you which way thangs are going and iffen he sees the doc ebery 6 months it's like really oblivious to see iffen yer on the right track, flying level or heading down :basementcat:
Also iffen you happen to run into a doog acupuncturist there's the arterial perfusion pulse thang ... you can does it yerself but iffen a newb can tellz the difference B prolly should be on his way to a hopsickle :whistle: Anywho iffen you raise yer arm above yer head you will feel no or very weak pulse since most of the blood drains down then when you lower the arm it takes 1or 2 seconds to refill and git back to nermal, for weak :heart: s or ones with issues it can take longer AND one side will be longer than the other :yes:
The other tests I mentioned are easier cheaper tests that a cardiologist shouldn't has a problem ordering. Srsly I'd think atleast a cardiac CT ebery year would be a minumum. They are quick, non-invasive and covered even by the most :carp: government insurance ... though maybe not in tanassi :roll:
"But yes... your (proven) theory ties in poifectly with the reasoning & sighence behind WFPB."
Um what? :scratch: no it don't it's actually at odds with the WTFPB diets it actually fits the keto dieters betterer try thinking that thru agin but this time with the :lbrain:
Srsly iffen you insist on cramming the mitochondria ffuts into a diet it's closer to Mediterranean but with about 3 timez more protein or 5 timez depending on yer source. Of course that's without the Light sources, vitamin C or Methylene Blue which is a completely synthetic man made compound.
Um yeah, and that's only the bits I've mentioned ... there's also MitopHagy and molecular hydrogen, L-arginine/L-citruline ... yada yada ... yeah solly yer gonna has to cram the sighence into yer WTFPB beleef system yerself ... the Methylene Blue being a key component with Light and large amounts of vit.C really makes it a tough fit for any diet and the NAC is nearly 100% :cow: or atleast animule derived ... so yeah not really seeing the WTFPB tie in :therethere:
Beyond :burger: s are a solid faux :cow: product :thumbs: I keep a 10 pack in the fridge next to the Kirkland real :cow: :burger: patties :thumbs:
Now an inerestin research project, git B's NO numbers afores the beyond burgers then an hour or two after. Then I'd recommend repeating the :egg: periment but has him take psyllium husk ffuts afores the meal. In theory the psyllium holds onto the oil and the majority of oil is absorbed in the duodenum ... which is like the first 10 inches of the small intestine.
Yeah I noes :horn: no psyllium :whatever: BUT if the second test shows no effect or just reduced effect then psylllium or sumthin similar like one of them celluloses can reduce the NO offset of a delicious :burger: In other wurdz he could eats more oil in theory :angel:
I'd does it but :drama: my NO levels are just too high :sigh: ... fer realz :yes: AND I take methylene blue :superman:
Reminds me of :zanna: :wub: :candle: "
Yup they is here now :fist: though to be fair there are a lot of pretty wahines walking by (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/groucho2.gif) ... so silver linings and what knotz :wubsigh:
"And yes, I does remember the mitochondria ffuts and I does mostly understanz. :yes:
The bottom line here is that it's neither easy nor affordable to get said tests done."
Wait what :scratch: are you shuffling memos agin or sumthin 'cuz mitochondria ffuts is my thang and only tangentially related to B but have zero to does with clogging :dunno:
":carp: I'd check my blood for various ffutses every month iffin it was accessible & affordable. :yes:
It's fun to know."
Um yeah yer going off into some other :rbrain: whurled :norway: YES there are tests that you can do that are :egg: pensive and more than a little dangerous like that angio thang that will tell you eberythang you wants to noes right away ya noes like the :heart: angio thang :whistle: BUT the point of all the thangs I was posting is that you don't need that NOW :nono: You noes there is a problem and what it is AND even where on the :heart:
The numbers in B's regular blood tests {CBC} ... no not the stoopid cholesterol data ... show the results for his entire body including the blockages. Iffen the blocakges worsen or unworsen this changes the numbers in the CBC.
Don't think of blockages as a tap that's open, closed or sumthin in between :buttkick: Think of blockages as "stress" how the body reacts tellz you sumthin about the stress. For instance leukocytes aka White Blood Cells of which there are 5 primary types are an indicator in :heart: disease and part of a CBC ... not to mention inflammatory markers :roll:

psyllium... :check: :huh: Ok, maybe. :wiggle:
The bestest test is in how much he has been doesing....no slugging here.
Digging, tilling, planting... power washing.
NO angina. :wiggle: And no taking-for-grantedness. :nonono:
We grilled last night, too. On wood charcoal. We grilled orange peepers, foil wrapped taters & vidalia onions. And finally the Beyond burgers & sausages. The beyond sausage was incredible. :yes: I didn't love sausages due to the grisly, :uhoh: meaty factor. These has all the flavor (except the fat) AND no :uhoh: ffuts.
No oil, no butter, just faux sour cream from silken tofu & the coconut oil in the faux meats, which largely dripped into the grill. :chuckle:

:woe: No solly :therethere: the bestest is still a cardiovascular MRI but next up in the durt category of testing would be the treadmill stress test. The problem with the daily life werk ffuts :flex: is that people have natural rhythms that are used to regain energy and oxygen stores.

FYI: you can git EKG thangs from Amazon AND yes it can show narrowing of the arteries :yes: Though in B's case ideally he'd has an original with known clogging amounts and the second EKG would show the progress or not :oz:

Quote from: ncbiVirgin Coconut Oil Prevents Blood Pressure Elevation and Improves Endothelial Functions in Rats Fed with Repeatedly Heated Palm Oil
Abstract
This study was performed to explore the effects of virgin coconut oil (VCO) in male rats that were fed with repeatedly heated palm oil on blood pressure, plasma nitric oxide level, and vascular reactivity. Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: (i) control (basal diet), (ii) VCO (1.42 mL/kg, oral), (iii) five-times-heated palm oil (15%) (5HPO), and (iv) five-times-heated palm oil (15%) and VCO (1.42 mL/kg, oral) (5HPO + VCO). Blood pressure was significantly increased in the group that was given the 5HPO diet compared to the control group. Blood pressure in the 5HPO + VCO group was significantly lower than the 5HPO group. Plasma nitric oxide (NO) level in the 5HPO group was significantly lower compared to the control group, whereas in the 5HPO + VCO group, the plasma NO level was significantly higher compared to the 5HPO group. Aortic rings from the 5HPO group exhibited attenuated relaxation in response to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside as well as increased vasoconstriction to phenylephrine compared to the control group. Aortic rings from the 5HPO + VCO group showed only attenuated vasoconstriction to phenylephrine compared to the 5HPO group. In conclusion, VCO prevents blood pressure elevation and improves endothelial functions in rats fed with repeatedly heated palm oil.

Hahahaha... last night Jacki asked if I could make a green spaghetti. :scratch:
I usta make a sauce with oil to brown the garlic & onions, chicken broth, lotsa spinach & lotsa parmesan cheese. All blended up in the blender.
It was de-lishous.
So last night I browned my garlic & onion (by the way...the more I use the hot pink garlic thingy & also the smasher the more it becomes one of my favorite toys. :yes: Thanks, again. :righton: ) sans oil, added water & then miso. A goodly amount. :yes:
And then I put my spinach on top, turned it off & lidded for a moment whilst I got the elderly ninja out.
Poured it all into the ninja along with a quarter to half cup of nutritional yeast, black & white peeper just becuz... :whistle:
a touch of salt & some Italian seasonings. After it pulverized I added the previously sauteed mushrooms & pulsed so that the mushrooms were a bit of bits.
Anyway once again...it was a hit with the peanut gallery. :happydance:
I also miso-ed the kale salad I made yesterday at your suggestion & it is delicious. I think your dad would like this one....it gots kale red cabbage, celery, vidalia, carrot, orange pepper, microwaved diced beets, chickpeas, raisins & craisins & walnuts. Rice vinegar, miso & agave. I dissolved the miso in rice vinegar...tasted it :eek: added agave. :rofl: I calls it bloody kale salad. :rofl:
Thanks for the coconut oil ffuts. :yes: I always believed it healthy...dint no nothin bout no endothelials then...but still believed it healthy.
We had a miso green day yesterday. Get it? Me so green! :gstars: I quit outside around noon & came in to make doof for lunching & whatnot.
I'd picked the kale, as well as some mixed lettuces & arugula, first thing in the morning.
Made the aforementioned big batch of kale salad...with miso.
Then I made hummus sans oil. Chickpeas, aquafaba (yeah, canned chickpeas cuz it was simple & I had the cans.) garlic, fresh lemon juice, miso paste, Red Hot & liquid smoke.
Then...the pasta, again with miso.
So finally...the roofer is coming Friday after work to build the deck roof frame. That will :magic: ly turn our deck into a porch. :chuckle: And then the metal will be put on over the weekend! :excited:
We are so looking forward to a covered patio/porch/outdoor living space. :wubsigh: And eventually we may screen or partially plasticize for overwintering ffutses (& me! :sun: :rofl: )

"Hahahaha... last night Jacki asked if I could make a green spaghetti. :scratch: "
Well green pasta to me is pesto with a touch of ascorbic acid :angel: Srsly the vit.C turns it from Green to bright Lime Green which is always a hit :thumbs:
Ok cool ya miso pasta ffuts :thumbs: the white {shiro} miso with nutritional yeast {finely powdered} makes an acceptable butter miso replacement :thumbs: though I still thinxz the red {aka} miso is better overall :yes: though only iffen ya can git a doog brand ... the cheap red miso is :unthumbs: :carp:
Anywho when you start getting low on miso {any variety} or it starts looking iffy be sure and dehydrate it then crush into powder :thumbs: One of my magik dusts is a mix with yeast and cayenne for :popcorn: :thumbs:
Anywho a standard miso paste/sauce base is just 2 parts miso to 3 parts butter {melted} and with a doog miso is really purty doog just on spaghetti :thumbs: BUT adding some garlicked to the butter and heating followed by some grated ginger, a bit of soy and :boom: asian pasta :yes: Throw some toasted sesame seeds on or sesame seed oil and :bump: it up a level. Mix in some gochujang and go a nice Korean route or just a little Mirin and rice vinegar to round off the flavours :thumbs:
Ya seez between the sauces and the magic dust and of course the miso ... being sure to use the same miso it's really easy to make miso soup :rimshot: a tasty salad with miso dressing and a main miso dish or two or morez ... :oz: The neat thang is that you can easily make a combo meal tied together by a single flavour {Do NOT overdoes the miso in any single dish though :club: }.
In any event most peoplez just eat the doof and go on but done properly a meal is balanced with sweat, savory/glutamates, sour, salty and bitter :angel: After that it's just textures and coulours and :boom: yer a chef :oz:
K glad ya likez the garlic thang :thumbs: does ya think Pan would like a set? I wasn't sure about the smoosher :scratch: For one or two cloves it's just not worth breaking it out but at 3 or more I thunk it useful PLUS crushing a bunch on parchment paper and leaving it for 10 minutes produces the most allicin BUT it gits gross and sticky so this is an easy no mess to clean up trick. By the way isn't there some song about allicin's restaurant :rimshot:
Yeah oil and endothelials ... really kinda fascinating AND not clear what or why whatever is happenning ... yet ... :share:
Oh and I fergetted to mention Dr.E's protocol werks better than Ornish which is better than Pritikin which is better than the standard Mediterranean diet for :heart: / CAD disease BUT the healthiest overall diet according to the most recent research ffuts is a Protein enhanced {aka more} Mediterranean diet with the predominance of the enhanced protein being plant based. The amount of enhancement is basically 2 to 5 timez more but is age and lifestyle related and more about healthy years being added over just no deathing.
The point is iffen yer otherwise healthy the best diet is Mediterranean with a protein :bump: iffen yer not healthy ... it depends ... Dr.E for CAD :thumbs: and for diabetics it's actually kinda tricky between keto and some WTFPB :yucky: options :hmm2:

WTFPB :hysterical: I saw that before but just now gotted it. :doh:
And yes, I've come to the same conclusion...finally...about your 'diet rankings'. :righton:
And I am much better at intuitively (there's that word again :roll: ) balancing meals &/or individual dishes. :balance:
I am adding more light soups, Japanese-style, to meals thanks to my favorite Japanese Youtuber....
https://www.youtube.com/@MiwasJapaneseCooking You may have introduced us :scratch: I really don't amember.
It's fun to keep learning new tequniqes & skilles; Lord, I slaughtered techniques. :rofl:
And :yes: I think Pandora would like the garlic peeler for sure. I've found that loading it up with 3 or 4 or more if they're tiny cloves & then lying it on the counter (or parchment :roll: ) & rolling it like a rolling pin works well. The smoosher takes a bit of muscle but if you rock it back & forth it is not too difficult. I thunk about Zen Aunt as well and she also has arthritic fingers, but I believe she would like one. As for the messiness....when you smoosh most of the oozy smooshiness stays right on top of the smoosher. I just leave it there to sit & then scrape it off into whatever when ready.
Yard Day at Mom's today. :wiggle:

As for the garlic roller smoosher set oh there are still a bunch of tricks to does for instance putting a small cutting board over the roller with garlickz inside you can very evenly and lightly :roll: to remove the skins.

Oh for the smoosher it depends on how I plan on using the garlic ... for ramen I'll literally put the smooshed part into the boiling water for a few seconds to clean it and flavour my ramen :liplick: BUT for the most part I just use a silicone spurtle {thinxz spatula} and a couple of taps and it's doog enough for me :yes: you can always use a toothpick or silicone basting brush to poke the little holes clean :oz:

It's a balmy 89 & breezy here. :blowme:
So I started a reply this morning then SUDDENLY had to :run:
I mowed & mowed & mowed today & it is drier & dustier than it's been in a long long time.
And now I sit in the shade watching the roofers install our awesome new tan metal roof. :cheer:
They gots the patio roof all framed out...the metal on the front & back...and only have the trim & ffuts left to do.
It's gotta be a hunnerd & forty on that roof. :scared: :heat:
Garlic.. :check: I'm a gonna weigh out 2.5 grams. It's harder to 'dose' when cooking for 6...usually. That's 3 of us once, then 3 of us lunch the next day. That's the aim.
And I respect the no conclusionary stance. :righton: Everything changes. Mom didn't know it was harmful to smoke through her pregnancies. Yes, that's part of what's wrong with me. :buttkick:
Mayhem. :check: Lee Harris says his guides said "BOOM!" for June & July. :boom:
He said in the 23 years he's been channeling he's never heard them use that word & when he asked for clarification they said lotsa little personal 'booms' in the forms of SUDDEN changes & such but also several larger collective :boom: s worldwide.
Right after I watched that I read about the India train crash. :candle: Big boom there. 200+ dead & many more injured.
So yeah...BOOM. :faint:
We're booming in a good way round here. :gstars: Hoping the bad booms are over. :sparkle:

The oblates are just quite driew. :chuckle: I could do them. B would absolutely refuse like your dad.
And yeah...garlicky ffuts. :check: I does that already.
B has been off the psoriasis med for about 6 weeks now & it is coming back. Knuckles...elbows...hips & shins. He notices a pattern now. A certain order in which it pops out. And that is with massive :sun: light. It is a ridiculously tricky disease. :crazyeyes:
Is it the nightshades? Yeah, I noes but we went a whole year without & it improved dramatically tho never went fully away.
We also ate a lot of parmesan, greek yogurt, low-fat dairy & tuna during that year. And olive oil...the psoriasis doc said to practically drink olive oil (not really, but to use it freely)
I've never bought into the nightshade ffuts either but it kinda makes me wonder. :dunno: But we'd have a hard time on this diet without tomatoes, potatoes & peepers. :yes:
He sees the dermatologist at the end of this month & he's gonna ask about the least-intensive med. :yes: He says if it's raring up now then he doesn't want to experience what happens come fall & winter. I truly believe he has psoriatic arthritis now, too. :yes: I also believe it was triggered by the statin but now the switch is turned on.
:dunno: I can't convince him that the psoriasis CAN go away. :sigh: He's adamant that he has it for life. Tho he does believe that the arteries can be cleared. :crazyeyes: Go figure.
But I believe that what we believe is a crucial ingredient in the elixir that leads to being healed. :sparkle:
The placebo effect proves me right. :yesss: :p
:check: of the roof ffuts. It's already cooler in here. They removed the roof vents & said heat came pouring out. :heat:
Now it vents at the eaves. They are not quite finished...were short one piece of metal & have a few little trim pieces to do but the roofer had a funeral to go to on Sunday.

"The oblates are just quite driew. :chuckle: I could do them. B would absolutely refuse like your dad. "
Personally I likes capsules :thumbs: type 0 is just the right size for 250-300mg of ffuts and easy to gulp down the problem is there are some thangs that you need multiple grams of and that's a LOT of capsules :ashamed:
Anywho with my kale powder :egg: periments and the sulforaphanes they was fine powders and ya needed likes 3 grams so oblates :thumbs: PLUS I can just add a spatula tip of thangs like copper or zinc gluconate which I don't needz in general :angel:
In any event it's a lot harder to figure out what type of thang is being used when you don't make yer own supplements :drama: for instance calcium carbonate is the cheapest, most common and with a high calcium to weight ratio BUT it's the least absorbed and if taken with other thangs the carbonate can lower the stomach pH altering {generally reducing} the absorption of them other thangs. So it's complcated to begins with BUT I gotted most of the thangs gummied down now 8) FYI Calcium Citrate is one of the bestest for absorption :oz:
Anywho, I still want to git a Potassium gummy supplement for him. ideally the iodate but I thunked more likely the iodide. He eats seaweed so it's not as important as the Potassium but he has like 10 gummies to take so I want to minimize the number iffen possible. Perchance also a D3, K2 gummy as well as a B complex gummy but those are small pillz and he has soooo many he should prolly use them up first :yes:
Oh and one other thang I'm trying to does is maximize the number of gummies that use gelatin ... it's tricky since a lot are using pectin for them darned veganicz :fist:
"And yeah...garlicky ffuts. :check: I does that already. "
Yes, well try to make it a routine thang like with hummus :yes: The idea is to has the gelickz incorporated daily without hasing to thinxz of it :oz: Like last night I made Top Ramen for dinger ... I startedby making a garlic oil with 5 cloves of garlic lightly :thwack: ed and heated in a like 2 tsp of avocado oil BUT I used a little stainless steel ~3cup pot, then I ran down to git a frozed :shiver: skinless chicken :boobs: Throwed that on top of the lightly browned garlickz and added a dash of water to steam eberythang, turned the chicken ober and did it agin. Then I pulled the chicken out {now that it's mostly thawed} and cut it in to pieces then added a little more oil, smooshed the now softened garlic and pan fried the chicken bits together until done and put eberythang in my bowl. I then deglazed the fond with the water for the ramen {500ml} and while the noodles boiled I put 25g gochujang and 35g of aka miso and some siguie pre-cooked brand kale in the bowl along with the soup packet. When the noodles are done just pour eberythang in and :boom: done :yesss: For garnish I likes fried shallots and garlic but those are store bought :angel:
Ya seez, doog doof lotsa garlic and even NO greenz all in about 20 minutes and dang cheap :thumbs: The point is to incorporate the garlick so ya don't has to thinxz about it :nono:

It sounds like typical biologics rebound :dunno: on average relapse occurs 46 daze after stopping the only :egg: ception being the IL-23 antagonists which are associated with the longest time to relapse BUT I don't amemberz which he was taking :scratch: Regardless iffen it's been about a month he "should" see some relapse signs 'cuz the biologics were never a "cure" and his body is way out of :balance:
Choosing another biologic will just compound the problem. I think he needs to tough it out to atleast the first calming down cycle and in the meantime don't look for a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) to solve the problem without knowing what it's doesing. Instead figure out which biologic werked the best then see which doof or alternative aproaches produces similar results. :angel:
Yer both kinda black boxing the thang just following a protocol that claims a cure and hope thangs werk out ... which is fine iffen that's yer thang but iffen you hasn't noticed ... I HATE that :gaah:
Iffen ya want to go with garlic as acure LOOK at what it does as far as immunity modification and that whole agonist interleukin thang AND which ones are effected. Do they effect the same thangs as the drugs which werked? Does the WTFPB diet help or goes the other way ... there is soooo much that's known ... you should noes it :pullhair: Like srsly what does the :tater: s do that's so bad ... perchance they goes the other way on sumthin specific and iffen that's what's triggrering the psoriasis then you'd atleast noes which drug to choose :angel:
Personally I likes capsules :thumbs: type 0 is just the right size for 250-300mg of ffuts and easy to gulp down the problem is there are some thangs that you need multiple grams of and that's a LOT of capsules :ashamed:
Anywho with my kale powder :egg: periments and the sulforaphanes they was fine powders and ya needed likes 3 grams so oblates :thumbs: PLUS I can just add a spatula tip of thangs like copper or zinc gluconate which I don't needz in general :angel:
In any event it's a lot harder to figure out what type of thang is being used when you don't make yer own supplements :drama: for instance calcium carbonate is the cheapest, most common and with a high calcium to weight ratio BUT it's the least absorbed and if taken with other thangs the carbonate can lower the stomach pH altering {generally reducing} the absorption of them other thangs. So it's complcated to begins with BUT I gotted most of the thangs gummied down now 8) FYI Calcium Citrate is one of the bestest for absorption :oz:
Anywho, I still want to git a Potassium gummy supplement for him. ideally the iodate but I thunked more likely the iodide. He eats seaweed so it's not as important as the Potassium but he has like 10 gummies to take so I want to minimize the number iffen possible. Perchance also a D3, K2 gummy as well as a B complex gummy but those are small pillz and he has soooo many he should prolly use them up first :yes:
Oh and one other thang I'm trying to does is maximize the number of gummies that use gelatin ... it's tricky since a lot are using pectin for them darned veganicz :fist:
"And yeah...garlicky ffuts. :check: I does that already. "
Yes, well try to make it a routine thang like with hummus :yes: The idea is to has the gelickz incorporated daily without hasing to thinxz of it :oz: Like last night I made Top Ramen for dinger ... I startedby making a garlic oil with 5 cloves of garlic lightly :thwack: ed and heated in a like 2 tsp of avocado oil BUT I used a little stainless steel ~3cup pot, then I ran down to git a frozed :shiver: skinless chicken :boobs: Throwed that on top of the lightly browned garlickz and added a dash of water to steam eberythang, turned the chicken ober and did it agin. Then I pulled the chicken out {now that it's mostly thawed} and cut it in to pieces then added a little more oil, smooshed the now softened garlic and pan fried the chicken bits together until done and put eberythang in my bowl. I then deglazed the fond with the water for the ramen {500ml} and while the noodles boiled I put 25g gochujang and 35g of aka miso and some siguie pre-cooked brand kale in the bowl along with the soup packet. When the noodles are done just pour eberythang in and :boom: done :yesss: For garnish I likes fried shallots and garlic but those are store bought :angel:
Ya seez, doog doof lotsa garlic and even NO greenz all in about 20 minutes and dang cheap :thumbs: The point is to incorporate the garlick so ya don't has to thinxz about it :nono:
"B has been off the psoriasis med for about 6 weeks now & it is coming back. Knuckles...elbows...hips & shins. He notices a pattern now. A certain order in which it pops out. And that is with massive :sun: light. It is a ridiculously tricky disease. :crazyeyes: "
It sounds like typical biologics rebound :dunno: on average relapse occurs 46 daze after stopping the only :egg: ception being the IL-23 antagonists which are associated with the longest time to relapse BUT I don't amemberz which he was taking :scratch: Regardless iffen it's been about a month he "should" see some relapse signs 'cuz the biologics were never a "cure" and his body is way out of :balance:
Choosing another biologic will just compound the problem. I think he needs to tough it out to atleast the first calming down cycle and in the meantime don't look for a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) to solve the problem without knowing what it's doesing. Instead figure out which biologic werked the best then see which doof or alternative aproaches produces similar results. :angel:

Don't lump me in with him. :chuckle: I don't believe the pills 'cure' and often tells him they are like band-aids only worserer.
Does I take the anti-thyroid medication?? :no: And even tho Mom, ZA, even B sometimes bring it up & the 'shouldn't you see a doctor & at least try the medicine?' And I say, "Why??? I feel fine." And they say, "But you have no idea where your thyroid levels are." and I say, "Neither does the majority of people on the planet.". :chuckle: And they give up cuz I am stubborn. :shera:
But I doesn't have the psoriasis. :nonono: And I've seen it when it was super super ugly bad. And not ugly as in unattractive, ugly as in mass quantities of skin peeling off & shins looking like they were severely burned. :eek:
So I add my 2 cents, relay your :nickel: and with the 7 cents total he makes up his own mind. :yes:
He's :brain: washed. :yes: As is the dermatologist. She says to him, "If we have this amazing medicine that can make the psoriasis go away then why on earth wouldn't you wanna take it?". He can't answer that & gets swayed.
If anything's causing him to 'flare' other than relapse it's too much sugar but he doesn't wanna hear that either. :chuckle:
He was last on Otezla. I think. :crazyeyes:
Truly, he's a smate man but he doesn't quite get medical ffuts. I heard him telling the roofers why he was WFPB & I was like :no:
but I didn't say a word cuz they didn't understand what he was saying anyway. :rofl:
He said the right anterior posterior artery was 100% blocked. :woe: :spitcoffee: I was like :sealed:
Without knowing anything else my first concern with band-aids (like psoriasis meds or anti-thyroid) is
What if you can't get it any more? :uhoh: For whatever reason. And your body has become dependent.
And if you couldn't get it any more it would likely be becuz of a stressful outer situation ( :quake: , flood, societal collapse :chuckle: ) and a bad situation would be made worse by the SUDDEN trauma to your body.
Then I get deeper into (somewhat) understanding what they does to the body & the long-term ramifications.
Speaking of...you see where they proved that sucralose damages DNA? :scared:
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sucralose-found-in-common-sweetener-damages-dna-may-cause-cancer#:~:text=Sucralose%20found%20in%20common%20sweetener%20damages%20DNA%2C%20may%20cause%20cancer&text=New%20research%20shows%20a%20chemical,%2C%20inflammation%2C%20and%20even%20cancer.
I coulda told them that...intuitively :nana:
I ate it once accidentally & once only. My Travelling Aunt brought lemon pies to a family get-together once & I knew right away it tasted weird but ate it anyway (she was a sensitive sort) . Within 30 minutes or so I felt 'off'. Kinda buzzy...high... and my lips/nose/face was tingly. I was light-headed & woozy. Dad felt the same way & he actually leaned back in his chair & closed his eyes for awhile...claiming he was just extra tired. But he & I both discussed & said "It was the :pie: "
So I never touched it again, knowing the ffuts was ebil! :horror: And I couldn't wait for it to 'wear off' which it did in about 90 minutes.
Mom thought Dad & I were both 'off our rockers' :rofl: as she said the :pie: was good & there was nothing strange about it.
It didn't seem to bother B either & Jacki had opted for ice cream instead.

Well to be fair they were neber claimed to be a "cure" only a treatment AND they does werk ... mostly ... but basically they turn off some thang that results in less or no psoriasis only that thang typically has numerous other functions which are likewise lessened, Basically the body is way WAY out of :balance: which might be ok :zanna: or not :luna: ... ya just doesn't noes AND yer body cannot re- :balance: in the meantime.
Not taking thyroid meds is one thang and I has no issues with that BUT the no testing part :gaah: :buttkick:
Thang is Grave's disease is one of them oh so frequently misdiagnosed thangs where iffen you can yer better off waiting a year or two afores deciding to treat 'cuz thyroid thangs in general just goes away sometimez :dunno:
"So I add my 2 cents, relay your :nickel: and with the 7 cents total he makes up his own mind. :yes: "
Well that's as it should be :yes: :om: Iffen he was ok with the oTesla that might be a doog one to stock up on espeeshully iffen he's getting psoriatic arthritis :oz:
In general it looks like most people use the ffuts for about 2 years and then stop for various reasons with only 37% going beyond 2 years.
Regardless the mode of action is listed here in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apremilast#Mechanism_of_action). You can certainly find doof that has similar actions though I dunno about the il23 :scratch:
Also it looks like 5 weeks to relapse after stopping is nermal :oz:
Iffen you look under Accessibility wikipedia link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apremilast#Accessibility)
Otezla for a year of treatment ...
U.S $22,500 :faint:
Austria €11,000
India ₹22,000.
So iffen he decides he wants to continue India is the way to goes :thumbs: Srsly :yes: he has a prescription it's even legal :oz:
Oh and 22,000 Rupee is $266 so like $300 with shipping and 1 to 2 month wait :angel:
"Speaking of...you see where they proved that sucralose damages DNA? :scared: "
:woe: no they didn't "prove" anythin :therethere: ... thang is EBERYTHANG causes DNA damage and sucralose has been around since 1991 and managed to avoid any oblivious cancer issues. Srsly dad and I looked at the molecule and said nu uh :nono: the thang looks more like an insecticide BUT over 30 years later and hundreds of research evaluations later it's still safer than cooked doof which is a massive surprise to me :faint:
FYI: in terms of carcinogenic DNA tweaking nuthin beats cooked doof :nono:
Personally I'd avoid the ffuts especially iffen it is cooked BUT srsly an in vitro {test tubes} assay and published directly to the interweb on as far as I can tell a non-peer-reviewed online journal THEN picked up by an aggregation site looking for controversial articles :roll: yeah not very convincing :unthumbs:
Wow a hunert percent blocked anterior posterior :horror:
:bsl: :hysterical:
Anywho I don't noes how long B's psoriasis flares typically last but yeah he really should give his body some time :balance: As I recall he started taking the oTesla very close to when he started taking all the other :heart: :carp:
In the meantime ... cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which oTesla :bump: s is an easy one for the WTFPB diet though wakame can take some time to git used to and or learn to cook ... decently :whistle:
The other interleukin {s} are garlic and turmeric tweakable though I don't noes how much or how far right now but you should looks them up :yes: Also I'm pretty sure I've seen turmeric paste used directly on psoriasis :scratch: The point is iffen it stops or slows the progression of a psoriasis flare then it's prolly a doog doof choice :yes:

We can easily add D supplement. Yeah, he's dark complected...less absorption. I just recently read that redheads absorb vitamin D more readily than other peoples. :huh: Who knew?
And India??? Again...who knew? Besides you. :p How does one go about getting med from India? :scratch:
The reason peoples stop taking Otesla is becuz their 'patient assistance' program stops assisting. :gaah:
And nobody is tolded until it stops. He was to pay like 4K a month up front & then wait to see what insurance covers & they 'might
reimburse the rest. Might not. :no:
Ya know, Jen told me years ago to start adding lots & lots of turmeric to our diet. :yes: I use wakame in miso soup...the way you told me :righton: ...but that is maybe not enough? He's not a big seaweed lover tho he did love the cucumber seaweed salad at Asia Garden. :yes:
Thanks for your help. :righton:
I gotta change directions now. :run:
Mom's yard today cuz Sis & niece come tomorrow. :elfparty:
Chloe is hosting a Farm-To-Table charity event for scholarships from the Arts Council & all us girls are volunteering to help her out. :wiggle: The dinner is on Thurzdaze. :p And then it's vacay with sis for the weekend. :wub:
Roofer is coming to finish up little ffuts today, too. :cheer:
Boy oh boy we can already tell a a big difference in the afternoon indoor temperature. :yes: We knew we would cuz the formerly used shade sail made a big difference & this is simply biggerer. :yes:

So...I :book: quick. I might not have gotten all the details.
Yes, I've watched the Skinwalker Ranch documentary on Netflix, and it just sent me into researching more about the the Uintah Basin. It's curious; the story of it. The Sherman's history. 8)
I eat garlic every day in my meals. I mince up fresh garlic, and use powdered garlic all the time. So, the smasher or moosher or whatyamacallit is sort of interesting. Thing is, I have been peeling and working with garlic since I was a kid, and I easily peel it without a second thought. I use a chopper to bring it down to the size I want...whether it's just a rough chop or a fine mince. Depends on the dish.
My RA has significantly improved since going Vegan. I cannot tell you what the triggers were, but now the biggest trigger is cold. Also, stress. If I'm in a state of stress for more than a day, it will flair up. I wonder if cortisol in prolonged amounts can trigger inflammatory responses? :hmm2: I also experienced eczema during elevated prolonged stress. I don't think I've had a bout of that since my change in diet. Again, could cortisol levels be involved? :dunno:
So. Buglet has found his voice. You know...that very high, could break a glass, sort of voice. He loves his sensory videos with dancing fruit and veggies. His favorite is Mr Pineapple, but he absolutely despises Mr Avocado. He is easy to read; very expressive. Yesterday he turned 5 months. He is thriving and happy. :wub:
The weather here has been weird. May saw very little rain. Maybe a handful of days with high temps, but then plunging into the 40's at night. With a few hard frost nights. Right now, the Canadian Wildfires are plunging us into heavy hazy unhealthy air, with the pungent smell of smoke. It's the worst I can ever recall having seen here. It stings my eyes, and I can feel the pull in my chest breathing. We're going on the 3rd day of this, and there is rain coming. The rain will be sour, and the impact on the gardens and so forth will not be good. :(
We have tourists all over the place! I've seen plates from Alaska, Maryland, Massachusetts...not to mention folks from overseas. :no: None of them know how to drive. :uhoh:
Anyways, off I :run:
Loves you all! :hug:

"Happy Toozday."
:scared: :no: Ya skeered me for a sec with that deja voodoo :buttkick:
"We can easily add D supplement. Yeah, he's dark complected...less absorption. I just recently read that redheads absorb vitamin D more readily than other peoples. :huh: Who knew? "
Yeah but here's the thang ... my guess ... is he's going to need a lot A LOT for 2 reasons 1) psoriasis 2) no/delicious delicious fat :drama:
Also I Do NOT think his cardiovascular disease is "hereditary" :nono: there is likely a genetic link but most likely a gene polymorphism {thinxz minor tweak in a gene} for D3 metabolism. In other wurdz his parents :heart: issues were due to that popping of calcium antacids with low vit.D and K2 levelz.
Here's the thang not directly B related but from NIH.gov ...
... or in short I thinxz the vast majority of CAD being considered genetic is from a common gene polymorphism PLUS continued poor lifestyle choices. :angel:
How does this relate to psoriasis you ask well vitamin D plays a key factor in autoimmune disorders including diabetes and psoriasis as well as quite a few more.
Anywho ... Daily oral vitamin D3 without concomitant therapy in the management of psoriasis: A case series (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772613422000014) ... is a "case study" which is NOT a clinical trial of any kind :nonono: ... and it's only on 6 cases which is not enough to be clinically relevant BUT it's 6 cases focusing solely on D3 levelz and no other psoriasis related tweaks.
Here's the thang you should read the article and note case #4 in particular since it is the only male case.
Basically this was a very well produced case study published in a well established journal BUT it is a "communications" {lower level of peer review} and it was done in India which has tons more sunlight than here.
FYI: 76% of Indian's in the subcontinent are vit.D deficient link (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/data-reveals-3-out-of-4-indians-suffer-from-vitamin-d-deficiency-young-adults-below-25-most-affected/articleshow/97437990.cms?from=mdr)
All together I think B may need to take "dangerous" levelz of vitamin D {~30,000 IU} daily. The thang to keep in mind is that D3 is oil soluble and you can absorb much more with oil added from a meal. Alternatively there's the diffusion method which also werks BUT I dunno what the numberz are. High levelz of D have both thyroid AND serum calcium level issues not to mention may not play well with certain :heart: medications AND the oil used in the supplements are gonna git a finger wag from Dr.E :naughty:
K I thinxz that's all I got on that topic :matt: Oh and statins :suck: and I'm still thinking cholesterol is generally not a thang :oz:
As for ordering from India ... you fergetted about my offshore pharmacy thread in kootyville :drama: it was only a few years back ... 2008 Apparently 1 ... yeah perchance time for an update :sigh:
Well the big difference now is that you can really only legally purchase a 3 month supply BUT I did a quick :check: and there is a generic form of apremilast so first you should :check: that cost then India or perchance Kinukia :yes:
Anywho google offshore or global pharmacy and be sure they ask for a prescription and for payment use a visa gift card or sumthin that you can regulate :angel: Also be sure and :check: how long the place ha been around. There are "good" and legal places that are just making money by providing a service of products from countries where they are cheaper. Also worst case scenario B or youses could has a nuf trip to The Great White North or Mejico :may5:

QuoteCoronary artery calcification increases with age and is more common in men than women. Furthermore, people with metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, tobacco use, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and a high baseline C-reactive protein level are at an increased risk to develop coronary artery calcification.

FYI: 76% of Indian's in the subcontinent are vit.D deficient link (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/data-reveals-3-out-of-4-indians-suffer-from-vitamin-d-deficiency-young-adults-below-25-most-affected/articleshow/97437990.cms?from=mdr)
All together I think B may need to take "dangerous" levelz of vitamin D {~30,000 IU} daily. The thang to keep in mind is that D3 is oil soluble and you can absorb much more with oil added from a meal. Alternatively there's the diffusion method which also werks BUT I dunno what the numberz are. High levelz of D have both thyroid AND serum calcium level issues not to mention may not play well with certain :heart: medications AND the oil used in the supplements are gonna git a finger wag from Dr.E :naughty:
K I thinxz that's all I got on that topic :matt: Oh and statins :suck: and I'm still thinking cholesterol is generally not a thang :oz:
As for ordering from India ... you fergetted about my offshore pharmacy thread in kootyville :drama: it was only a few years back ... 2008 Apparently 1 ... yeah perchance time for an update :sigh:
Well the big difference now is that you can really only legally purchase a 3 month supply BUT I did a quick :check: and there is a generic form of apremilast so first you should :check: that cost then India or perchance Kinukia :yes:
Anywho google offshore or global pharmacy and be sure they ask for a prescription and for payment use a visa gift card or sumthin that you can regulate :angel: Also be sure and :check: how long the place ha been around. There are "good" and legal places that are just making money by providing a service of products from countries where they are cheaper. Also worst case scenario B or youses could has a nuf trip to The Great White North or Mejico :may5:

Heya Pan :wave: :happydance:
There are 3 seasons and the 4th half-ish available AND they is really inerestin and FREE but yeah Netflix is just season one which is doog BUT the anomaly is soooo cool when ya seez it 8)
Buglet :wubsigh:
Um yeah I'd hoped yer RA was improved why else would you remain veganic :no:
Oh and yeah that's the thang about RA triggers it can be anythin basically you should be all about shutting down the inflammatory markers. Thang is cortisol actually reduces inflammation BUT iffen yer levels are too high for too long then yeah it goes the other way :sofa:
K gotta run ... more later ... really doog to seez you :glomp:
Oh and :tapfoot:

Pandora!!! :excited: :wub:
And Buglet is finding his voice! :wubsigh: :bsl:
So glad you are feeling better & so so so happy to 'see' you. :pie: Vegan :pie: :rofl:
:pey: :sig:
:b: took 30,000 IU vitamin D for a year as part of the Pagano protocol. :yes: If I recall, you kinda :whatever: ed it at that time.
Prolly becuz Dr Pagano said the vitamin D in high doses would 'seal the leaky gut'. :chuckle:
But it's good to see renewed 'verification' & I still has some of the high dose & will start him back on it asap. :check:
Oh wait...it's 50K IU. I just found the bottle with a few left over. It was whatever Dr Pagano had recommended.
Do you think that's too much? Should I get 30K IU? Or every other day the 50K? He tolerated it well when he took it before tho I just read that apathy was a sign of toxicity. :huh: What a vague sign. He was a bit apathetic at that time but I thunk it becuz he was quite miserable physically....what with raging psoriasis & the not-yet-known CAD.
Funny...in that diet he was apposta eat lots & lots of lettuce, especially romaine which is his favorite anyway.
And I made a faux Caesar dressing that we all loved with greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, lemon, anchovy paste (or capers) & a bit of salt. I think that was it. Then he'd add a whole can of albacore tuna & he could eat that salad 5x a week or more. :yes:
I also maded lots of homemade croutons from whole grain breads & slathered with oilve oil. :wub:
The good ol days. :wubsigh: :bsl: Now that same salad would be romaine, lemon juice & salt. :rofl:
That diet, & the D therapy, were the gateway to where we are now. :yes:
I gave him our 7 cents & he was quite receptive. :yes: I noes he just gets nervous when even tiny bits begin breaking out again but I reminded him how he was full-blown & the Otezla cleared him up in just a couple weeks. In other words, it's always there if needed.
Gotta :run: Gotta water cuz the overnight rain never happened.
:michafire: must be on Vacay #2. :chuckle: :scratch:

Weather still bad here. AQI is 154, still hazy and very cool at 58F. Maybe some scattered showers today. We're going towards drought. :sigh:
I been a little uncomfortable with the air, but not so much yet today.
:asiel: About that vitamin D- :hmm2: I see the RDA is set at 15mcg/600 IU. It sounds like he's taking a lot daily at 30-50K IU? There is such a thing as too much Vitamin D. Generally, it's recommended not to exceed 10k IU daily. An excessive amount can cause hypercalcemia among other things.
Okay :sigster: I'm gonna have to watch that whole Skinwalker documentary all over again. :yes: I think I only did see the 1st season on Netflix, but there are more seasons? Where did ya say? :huh:
Off and :run: Housework like dusting and mopping. :yucky: Because being outside isn't good right now. :gaah:

You obliviously haven't read :sigster: 's thread on nutritional supplements & 'RDAs'. :chuckle:
Here's another article Sig, that has a LOT of kemikill mumbojumbo. :blah: :uhoh:
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2021.655739/full
In that one,Pandora they say up to 1000IU per kg of body weight is safe. B weighs 81kg so that would be 81,000IU.
I think 30K is prolly enough.
Used to I believed that becuz he gets sooo much sun & is so dark complected he was 'fine' but now I know that darker skinned peoples axshully absorb less vitamin D than say me. :asilly: Go figure.
:hi: :michafire: :wub: PC vacays are awesome :bliss:
We're having a forced TV vacay. :chuckle: When they put on our new roof they upset the satellite gods & Directv is taking 10, count em, TEN days to get a service person here. :crazyeyes: Once would think we live in Siberia. :chuckle:
Super hot & hazy here. Not smoke but poor air quality due to mass quantities of dirt & pollen. Poor Lola is so dirty I could barely see through the windshield but there's no point in washing her til after it someday rains. :dustcloud: :pigpen: crazy:

It's cool here too, cuz of the wildfire smoke we gots. No :rain: yet. We really need it. They keep sayin' but nope. :roll:
Tonight it's black bean meatballs in a marinara with peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms-a nice dark greens salad, and italian bread. :liplick: Because it's cold here, and that's what I'm hankering for.

" :b: took 30,000 IU vitamin D for a year as part of the Pagano protocol. :yes: If I recall, you kinda :whatever: ed it at that time. "
:whatever: sounds about right :yes: considering the asplination :woe:
Also :horn: STOP Do NOT just give him D supplements :nonono: and yes vit.D resistance is a thang and why I think people should only has high D levelz for 6 months a year {to mimic the seasons} BUT that's a different siguie theory not really relevant here :nono:
Lookup vit.D supplementation in CAD and you'll quickly figure out there's a link between the two. The same with psoriasis, diabetes and even RA :faint: The thang is CAD is not an autoimmune disease also there are many different types but B's is not directly autoimmune related even though there is a suggestive sumthin with psoriasis linked to CAD. So I :brain: ed and werked out the vit.D correlation :oz:
Srsly it makes more sense that he has a known gene polymorphism that reduces his ability to use vitamin D and it's that genetic factor that he inherited from his parents. That said all of the bad including the psoriasis is likely a confluence of negative factors playing on a subclinical vit.D deficiency. The main immune :thwack: ing factors are of course smoking and drinking BUT in theory processed doof 'n ffuts might be included too :whistle:
That said the reason I sez STOP is because B has calcified blockages AND prolly a strong susceptibility to oil based inflammation and the BIGEE sized supplements all use :carp: oil to solubilize the vit.D. Also MOST importantly in addition to hypercalcemia there is a danger of :thwack: ing the thyroid which HE should noes is what influences the Force AND Speed of his :heart: both of which are kind of a thang with :heart: patients.
Srsly thinxz thangs through this isn't a try and see what happens 'cuz this is potentially a try and die scenario. I'd recommend sourcing some non-oil based vit.D then figuring out the relative absorption. Also monitor for hypercalcemia as well as thyroid problems PLUS this would be a daily high dose thang for a prolonged period and iffen it werks there's be a rather high maintenance dose :sofa:
K that's my :nickel: to be honest I was just thinking of why doctors insist cholesterol is the deciding factor in sooo many :heart: issues when it's clearly not :nono: and the gene polymorphism and lifestyle thang is what I came up with :angel:
Heya :michafire: :wave:

So does youse git regular like ebery 6 months blood tests :suck: with inflammatory markers? :share: Iffen not that's fine it just means yer still avoiding the nastiest of RA offerings :horror: But it would make thangs easier to test :matt:
Also does yer daily garlic consumption equal roughly 2.5 grams {2 to 3 cloves} iffen so yer already doesing what that first paper showed.

:asiel: If yer goin' by wt. for the Vit D, then I'm lost. I never did wt./dose for vitamins. Prolly safe to have his serum levels checked? If he is within 25-50 ng/ml, then he is in the normal range. All the factors apply to him when it comes to absorption; wt., age, etc. so it's tricky I can bet, finding the sweet spot for him. :hug: I just worry about elevated levels. Like you need anything getting more complicated. :gaah:
What the heck with DirectTV? I briefly checked them out years ago, and wasn't happy with them. I figured they got more on the ball since then, but 10 days? :eek:
:sigster: I monitor my RA anecdotally. Those test are :egg: spensive. :faint: I use twice that amount of garlic. Cuz how is two or three cloves even ever enough? :laugh: I also naturally use more turmeric and ginger given my change to a vegan diet, and I think that just adds to the benefits. I used to get agonizing flare-ups that lasted days. Now, the fare-ups are few and far between. Mostly if they happen it's during the winter where they are triggered by the :shiver: Mostly now, I will notice stiffness.
My multi-vitamin has 125mg of vit.C. That along with the veggies and fruits I eat gives me ample amounts. I'm not worried about amping that up. Anything over a gram can cause issues of their own. Now, that methylene blue...a little cautious of it. It does help with O2 delivery, and NO levels. I has to think about that one. :hmm2:
Speaking of O2, the wind shifted and the haziness, burning smell isn't real noticeble today. Our AQI was nearly 200 all week, but today it's under 100; hovering around 90-92. It's still unusually cool. We now have :rain: very light, but we gots it. :thumbs:
I'm gonna check out the Skinwalker thangs hopefully tonight. 8)

Ooooh that's very doog to hear :thumbs: When you sed you "retired" 'cuz of RA I thunked :horror: 'cuz it's usually purty bad to cause an early out BUT yer boj kinda sucked so :thumbs:
Um iffen you was diagnosed while werken at the hopsickle I'd think that you'd has atleast minimal coverage for C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or atleast a plasma viscosity (PV) test :scratch: If nuthin else you should has Obama coverage :dunno:
But that's fine iffen yer fine :yes:
Gosh did I mention that in addition to siguie brand Ginger, Turmeric, Cayenne {HOT++} (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) for the last few decades I take 5 to 10g of ascorbic acid {vit.C} per day along with 4mg to 6mg methylene blue :whistle: PLUS of course them thangs I'm still investigaing of course :yes:
Anywho I've mostly not mentioned the last two on account of vit.C in large quantities can cause issues BUT is generally not highly regarded :sigh: and the methylene blue 'cuz well let's just say you need to noes what you is doesing 'cuz it's literally the OPPOSITE of Nitric Oxide and certain people wont survive long :whistle:
Anywho as you is prolly awarez TNF-α reduction is the BIG thang BUT iffen/when you git the inflammation down vit.C plus resources :secret: gelatin helps repair damages :yes: BUT more importantly while vit.C doesn't prevent much of anythin other than scurvy a body needs more when stressed or just after.
That said one of my key beliefs is that given the right resources the body can repair dang near anythin :yes: The key resources is POWER :electrocute: and in particular from the mitochondria :angel: Most people realize the body needz oxygen but most just thinxz cells need it to survive ... well yeah sorta by that logic you can just sez hoomanz need it to survive :roll: The trooth is purty much ONLY the mitochondria need it and that's to burn fuel {oxidation} and the redox products include RoS aka Reactive oxygen-containing Species ... and vitamin C being a reducing agent {electron donor} it :bump: s thangs in a doog direction :angel:
As for methylene blue it :bump: s mitochondria, it can also fix a few mitochondrial enzymes AND werks doog with vitamin C AND most importantly it absorbs light in particular Red light but infrared as well which has been a thang that I've been inerested in since well the last century :whistle:
Anywho, methylene blue is incredibly useful and was durt cheap but is neural protective and mitochondrial :bump: ing and is just all around really useful especially when you add in the antimicrobial properties and light sensitizing factors :yes:
Oh and would you likes a garlic smoosher and easy peeler? :angel: They isn't worth pulling out for 2 or 3 cloves :nonono: but at the 4 or 5 clove mark I'll pull out the peeler just 'cuz it's quick 'n easy I might even does a whole head that way espeeshully iffen it's an annoying tiny clove head :gaah:
The smoosher is 'cuz I hate garlic presses :fist: iffen they don't break they is just annoying to clean. Nermally I'd just smack the thang with my cleaver BUT with the smoosher I can does a large number on a piece of parchment, give it 10 to 15 minutes to allicinate and just scrape it in to whatever. Then cleanup is a lot easier and sticky garlic smoosh is done :happydance:
By the way one of the apparent common misdiagnosis of RA is a type of urticaria where a person becomes allergic to a geometric isomer of a protein on a blood cell. This happened to Whesha back in CR1, I don't noes iffen you recall her but she was going to need a stent and didn't unerstanz what a "cold blood allergy" was. Anywho, doog news for her :yes: I just thunked I'd mention in 'cuz it test positive for autoimmune cells like RA and can be nearly identical to RA in ebery way but isn't :nono: it's also an only :shiver: thang :oz:
As for Skinwalker Ranch ... yeah that's one of the reasons I thunked of perchance retiring to Coloradohz sumdaze :wubsigh: and setting up a UFO monitoring :ghost: hunting group :matt:
I really likes the lidar system they use to image the anomaly and ffuts ... in theory it's the same kind of system you find in :roomba: s and other small home mapping products :yes: The thang is they is using a more powerful IR laser and I thunked that's basically what laser distance measuring devices do so I gotted an infrared laser distance measuring thang for research porpoises 8)
Oh and one of the most dramatic {to me} episodes is S4E1 where they fly a fleet of drones and git some odd anomalies :thumbs:

Gosh did I mention that in addition to siguie brand Ginger, Turmeric, Cayenne {HOT++} (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) for the last few decades I take 5 to 10g of ascorbic acid {vit.C} per day along with 4mg to 6mg methylene blue :whistle: PLUS of course them thangs I'm still investigaing of course :yes:
Anywho I've mostly not mentioned the last two on account of vit.C in large quantities can cause issues BUT is generally not highly regarded :sigh: and the methylene blue 'cuz well let's just say you need to noes what you is doesing 'cuz it's literally the OPPOSITE of Nitric Oxide and certain people wont survive long :whistle:
Anywho as you is prolly awarez TNF-α reduction is the BIG thang BUT iffen/when you git the inflammation down vit.C plus resources :secret: gelatin helps repair damages :yes: BUT more importantly while vit.C doesn't prevent much of anythin other than scurvy a body needs more when stressed or just after.
That said one of my key beliefs is that given the right resources the body can repair dang near anythin :yes: The key resources is POWER :electrocute: and in particular from the mitochondria :angel: Most people realize the body needz oxygen but most just thinxz cells need it to survive ... well yeah sorta by that logic you can just sez hoomanz need it to survive :roll: The trooth is purty much ONLY the mitochondria need it and that's to burn fuel {oxidation} and the redox products include RoS aka Reactive oxygen-containing Species ... and vitamin C being a reducing agent {electron donor} it :bump: s thangs in a doog direction :angel:
As for methylene blue it :bump: s mitochondria, it can also fix a few mitochondrial enzymes AND werks doog with vitamin C AND most importantly it absorbs light in particular Red light but infrared as well which has been a thang that I've been inerested in since well the last century :whistle:
Anywho, methylene blue is incredibly useful and was durt cheap but is neural protective and mitochondrial :bump: ing and is just all around really useful especially when you add in the antimicrobial properties and light sensitizing factors :yes:
Oh and would you likes a garlic smoosher and easy peeler? :angel: They isn't worth pulling out for 2 or 3 cloves :nonono: but at the 4 or 5 clove mark I'll pull out the peeler just 'cuz it's quick 'n easy I might even does a whole head that way espeeshully iffen it's an annoying tiny clove head :gaah:
The smoosher is 'cuz I hate garlic presses :fist: iffen they don't break they is just annoying to clean. Nermally I'd just smack the thang with my cleaver BUT with the smoosher I can does a large number on a piece of parchment, give it 10 to 15 minutes to allicinate and just scrape it in to whatever. Then cleanup is a lot easier and sticky garlic smoosh is done :happydance:
By the way one of the apparent common misdiagnosis of RA is a type of urticaria where a person becomes allergic to a geometric isomer of a protein on a blood cell. This happened to Whesha back in CR1, I don't noes iffen you recall her but she was going to need a stent and didn't unerstanz what a "cold blood allergy" was. Anywho, doog news for her :yes: I just thunked I'd mention in 'cuz it test positive for autoimmune cells like RA and can be nearly identical to RA in ebery way but isn't :nono: it's also an only :shiver: thang :oz:
As for Skinwalker Ranch ... yeah that's one of the reasons I thunked of perchance retiring to Coloradohz sumdaze :wubsigh: and setting up a UFO monitoring :ghost: hunting group :matt:
I really likes the lidar system they use to image the anomaly and ffuts ... in theory it's the same kind of system you find in :roomba: s and other small home mapping products :yes: The thang is they is using a more powerful IR laser and I thunked that's basically what laser distance measuring devices do so I gotted an infrared laser distance measuring thang for research porpoises 8)
Oh and one of the most dramatic {to me} episodes is S4E1 where they fly a fleet of drones and git some odd anomalies :thumbs:

Wow :faint:
The first SUDDEN emergency blueberry mass harvest of 2023 has successfully :bean: completed :yesss:
Dad's been busy durting 'n ffuts and didn't notice what was happening in one of the veggie jails. Ya seez he planted a couple of blueberry bushes 2 or 3 years ago and they take surprisingly 2 or 3 years to establish and start producing srsly ALSO typically that's July to August. However, dad sent an urgent email to me 'cuz his bushes are/were :boom: full of berries :faint: AND they were packed too tightly in veggie jail for him to git ALL of them and yeah they was ALL ripe at the same time :woe:
Anywho doog blueberries :liplick: and about 2 hours of harvesting sloooowly crawling around in the stoopid veggie jail :gaah:

Bumper crop of blueberries and gotta have them all! I can just imagine seeing you crawling in the thicket.... :rofl: We have the Blueberry Patch. It's quite a large established colony of bushes that grow all on their own up on the east hill of WG. Natives have their annual blueberry pickin' times. So, around here nobody actually grows them. They just wait on the Patch. Same with apples and cherries. We have trees here, there, and everywhere, so we just go pickin' when the season is active.
Our air is better, but not perfect. Still at 74 AQI. The rain is coming now. Thankfully, because we were staring at a drought. Water table are way low for this time of year for us. Garden has survived it all, so now all I have to worry about are the critters who like to wander in and snack.
Speaking of critters: I got myself settled in early with plans to watch Skinwalker, when I hear this scratching at my window. So I gets up to check. Lo and behold it's a :squirrel: splayed in the middle of my window screen. :huh: Chloe :kitty: is just beside herself, and wanting to catch it. Which is totally unrealistic because it was as big as she is. I shoo it off, and get settled back in. But the :squirrel: comes back. I figured it only had a short amount of time cuz the :sun: is setting, so I just let it do its thing. Chloe :kitty: had other plans. She literally lunged at the window, sending the blinds into the glass pane and cracked the pane with her enthusiasm. Now I gots a pane of glass to replace. However, I din't hear from the :squirrel: agins.

Well iffen by "thicket" you mean a jail cube like 4'x'4'x8' with only two openings then yeah sure :roll:
The enclosure is too small for one FULLsized plant much less 2 or 3 or however many there are now :dunno: Dad collected the the berries poking through but dang there were a lot LOT of berries. I was as carefuls as I could be and even put cardboard down to catch ffuts knocked off but still ended up smurfed :fist: By now dad has a lot of happy neighbours :thumbs:
There must be sumthin up between the gardener's fertilizer and all the rain we've had plus the mostly cool timez so far ... also perchance the jail system keeping the critters out 'cuz this is NOT Blueberry Season :nono: and last year they was just :wheee: little bushes providing perhaps a hunert berries total :dunno:
However epic disaster avoided blueberry syrup and pancakes coming ... soon ... :horror:
I'm glad yer air gotted betterer :thumbs: I saw images of the post apocalyptic skylines and the orange :cloud: it was a lot like the wildfires we had here :thumbs: I thinxz there are pikturez of the ash piling up on my skylights somewherez in this place :yes:
Anywho a doog air filter is always important to has around espeeshully with Buglet being all new and shinny :yes:
Skinwalker Ranch is "doog" in an agonizingly slooow discovery kinda way but you can just jump to season 4 and you'll git all of the previous findings in the previously overviews. Anywho I vetted the two main psighentysts as best I could and they is for realz :faint: I really wasn't sure about Travis Taylor but he :check: s out :faint: and Erik Bard is prolly the smater one :thumbs:
Thang is the show tries too hard to make thangs dramatic even when they isn't BUT sometimez they really is :yes:
On another though similar note I've been checking into the UAP whistle blower David Charles Grusch 'cuz I thunked he was just some military yahoo but dang he seems legit too :faint: My guess is he is inflating some of the thangs but for the most part is being truthful. The titlez of the boj and departments he's been in sound impressive and all but he is more likely a grunt so what he knows is likely more what he's personally witnessed and/or heard secondhand. Sorta like the way my minions can werk on projects and still have zero idea what or why we is doesing anything.
So I'm of the opinion that David Grusch is being truthful to the best of his ability but is unlikely awarez of the whole picture. Though that still would mean that the guberment has some cool alien toyz :happydance:
Ohai does you has an IR thermometer? I'd thunk you had one for :ghost: hunting and or cooking. In Skinwalker the "portal" :norway: is best visualized with a lidar system using an IR laser. These are a tad pricey so I'm playing with a laser distance measuring system BUT I think iffen you register a background temp like a wall with an infrared thermometer perchance iffen you hold the thermometer in an area any SUDDEN change 'may' be due to a :boo: type strolling by :oz:

The rain is here. :happydance: Garden is looking very healthy, but we shall see. That first rain was acidic from the wildfires. Honestly, I'd never experienced the fallout from wildfires ever in my many years here. It made everything look sorta dystopian. I kept waiting for Mad Max or somethin'. 8) Our AQI is still a bit elevated at 78, but not like it was when we were breaking 200. It's very cool for this time of year, and I don't mind it, but wonder how it's gonna affect everything. :hmm2:
I definitely think something is off with Travis. I'm not impressed with him. I do like Eric, and feel much more confidence in him with the data. They definitely embellish events, particularly the "injuries". But I think that is needed for entertainment value. At least they think so. :roll: I'm almost done with S3. The reports on the dirt are pretty fascinating. But I gotta say it's like heaven for big boys with all the digging and laser playing, and gadgets. They all turn into 8 year olds. :rofl: It's kinda sweet to see. :rainbow:
Gotta :run: time to get :ladybug: from work.

Whew! Y'all were :windy: :hysterical:
First... Chloe vs the :squirrel: :faint: :bsl: Window :candle: :spitcoffee:
We had a very strange animal encounter yesterday. :wtf: But first, we saw rainbows 2 nights in a row while coming home from Paris. More about that later.
But last night we came in around 7ish. In the drive as we turn in was a vulture. :yes: Not my friends, the buzzards, but a quite large vulture. It kinda moved like a :turkey: and at first I thought it was a :turkey: But the strange thing was that it didn't fly away nor even hurry to get away from an approaching vehicle. It moved into the grass, quite nonchalantly, and sat there looking at us. I told B to put his window down (it was on his side of Lola) and ask it what was up. He did & still it remained. We all just kinda looked at each other for awhile then it walked on off towards the road & we drove on up the drive.
So yes I read all the vitamin D offerings & I am fully :stars: but no worries...I/we ain't doing anything rash or sudden. He had half a dozen of the 30Ks left & may have taken them or he may not have. He feels so good that he axshully forgets his meds most days tho he doesn't take anything prescription any more anyway.
I'm still in the Esselstyn less-is-more supplement camp. :wiggle:
Blueberries. :rstars: We gots half a dozen blueberry bushes that are just coming to maturity. Had a couple old ones that have some sort of scale or fungus or somethin but they are out in a rarely visited area of the property. :candle: They are usually ripe here by 4th of July. :rstars:
So...Chloe's farm to table even was a massive success. :cheer: She bout stressed out completely beforehand & the meal was sup-par (she & I could have done better) but the venue...the event...the auctions (a local artist painting went for 5K)... It was such a spectacular party that nobody really even cared about the food. :chuckle: He ex-boyfriend's mother was there & they are oil peoples & have attended many a fancy affair said, "It was absolutely the most spectacular event I have ever attended.". :faint:
And then on Friday we celebrated Mallory's bday :rstars: at Mom's, then a Mexican restaurant, then Mom's again.
Saturday we made a gigantic picnic & all went out to Paris Landing which is a State Park on Kentucky Lake. :elfparty:
Yesterday they left & I slept til 8:30 :faint: & then cleaned my :butt: off cuz the satellite dude was coming this morning. :cheer:
And after cleaning we had to go to Paris to get gutter end caps (too late, the rain already streamed into the patio :rofl: ) & a bunch of piddly household things such as trash bags & charcoal & the likes.
And then the rainbows :wubsigh: and the vulture :huh: and yesterday on the last mile home we saw a groundhog, a deer, a cat that we thought was a rabbit, then an actual rabbit, an armadillo (by this point I told Jacki it was 'just like an African safari' :roll: ) and finally the vulture in the drive.
And then last night... more strangeness... I was awake &/or lucid dreaming from 1-4AM. I was at our old house in Goshen, revisiting/reliving/remembering actual events & happenstances. :huh: Spirit (our cat) was there with me & several of the events involved him (like when he got snakebit & was in dire condition & I put my hands over his wound, tears streaming, & plead for his healing....the next day he was healed. the raw, oozy, hairlos spot was gone :sparkle: and the 2x he brought me snakes, both alive, into the house. and the skinlos bunny he dropped in front of the stove. yeah, I learned to keep the door shut :rofl: ) He was a special one. He perched on top of the open front door one year & helped me pass out Halloween candy. :rofl: All the kids were tripping out.
Anyway, I sit decompressing on the new patio surrounded by 1000s of blossoms. :flowerom:
My blooming jasmine just behind me...diplodenia beside it. We were gonna put up shade cloth on the sunset side but opted for 4 more hanging baskets instead. :wub: They will shade enough. B is making the hanging baskets tonight. Asparagus fern & orange marmalade crossandra. :wub:

"I definitely think something is off with Travis. I'm not impressed with him. I do like Eric, and feel much more confidence in him with the data."
Yeah I think Travis is partly there because he's been in sooo many shows that he has 'some' acting abilities but he does has real credentials and they are well suited for what they is doesing. Erik on the other hand cannot act BUT he srsly noes what he's doing :yes: like when the camera momentarily catches the GPS module he built ... :faint: ... it's basically a quick thrown together unit with state of the art components that you cannot find on the interweb from anyplace I noes of :nono: Other than that he has amazin cameras setup :happydance:
Anywho, there's hunerts iffen not thousands of years of "portal" talk in that area and along with the alien ffuts there's a lot of :ghost: and :boo: type supernatural thangs going on SO ... :whatever: ... what iffen :boo: ffuts are portal related :popcorn:
Anywho, that was my thought so I'm thinking about how to locate one without the $$$ lidar system :happydance:

Ok doog is doog espeeshully iffen that includes no psoriasis :thumbs: as for vit.D just avoid the oil delivery supplements because a daily dose will just :thwack: his system daily. Figure out what the absorption rate is for the non-oil based supplement then choose an appropriate dosage.

They are a little tricky to use and the best price is ~$35 and personally I think the Spark link (https://www.sparkdiagnostics.com/spark-d) is prolly the 'best' designed and you can also git it from Amazon but I cannot find the link right now and I thunked it was 2 kits for $75 :scratch:
Anywho, these are not ideal :nono: BUT it is doseable.
Oh and I has Cholecalciferol { :secret: vit.D3 powder} pretty sure from purebulk.com
All together large dose vit.D oil might set B off 'cuz of the daily oil, after a week or so {usually a month or two} he may notice thyroid issues due to the high dose BUT most importantly Do NOT take high dose D3 without an appropriate amount of K2 'cuz that will possibly lead to hypercalcemia which is the opposite of what you want with calcified blockages.
Iffen that was the part you managed to glean then doog :thumbs:
That said how long did he take vit.D on the pogo diet and did the psoriasis begin to fade 2 weeks to one month after starting 'cuz I might noes why :yes:
Also I would try and find psoriasis researchers in your area and find or convince one to does the vit.D research and volunteer B.

On the pogo :roll: diet he began the 30k vitamin d but also the radical dietary changes. And he did see improvement within a couple weeks but it never went away. :nonono: It became 'liveable' but then he always has that fear that it's gonna flare back up.
And yes I get the calcification thingy...
But isn't it contradictory to think that his Vitamin D absorption is low whilst his artery calcified? I understand that smoking was prolly the biggest factor in why the artery hardened but wouldn't calcified arteries point to 'too much' calcium which all happened in a time when he took NO supplements at all. He's always been a big :sun: baby. But never took a vitamin D until the Pogo diet. He also never consumed dairy very much other than :cheese: . Not a milk drinker :yucky: not a big ice cream fan. No cottage cheese or cream cheese on the regular. Point is, no 'outside' Vitamin D nor calcium sources other than sunlight.
:dunno:
No storms here. :nonono: Just a couple tenths of an inch on Sunday. Enough to help green things back up.
The weather was beautiful. :bliss2:
And where we wants shade cloth or hanging plants is on the west facing side of the new patio....it only gets blazing (sunset) sun for about 3-4 hours a day. Not a doog solar panel spot. :nonono: I understanz the solar panel shade thingy tho... agroivoltaics or somethin like that. :chuckle: 'Cept shading people this time, not plants. :chuckle:

:horn: STOP :buttkick: ... now RESET
Vitamin D is also a hormone while the supplement and what is formed in the skin is cholecalciferol {D3} ... the mobilized skin D3 as well as doof and supplements then git processed in the kidneys to calcitriol aka 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol ... there are also five different forms of vitamin D.
The point is as a hormone there are levelz deficient, sub clinical deficient, nermal, and too muches. The different levelz have different associated symptoms ... you are just rolling them all together and saying look :wall:
The lowest vitamin D levelz are associated with rickets aka soft bones. The too muches level is called vitamin D toxicity and is associated with amongst other thangs hypercalcemia which is just a high serum calcium. What gits calcified iffen anythin depends on other factors and can be arteries or even muskle.
B's blockages are almost certainly due to smoking and development of a foam cell that embedded in an arterial wall 'cuz that's kinda what high oxidative stress, systemic hypoxia and prolonged vascular constriction is want to does :therethere: I am in no way suggesting that vitamin D played any role in the past 'cuz I has no way of noesing :dunno:
What I tried to sez affores you messed up the memo is that Hey check out this cool communication that shows 100% psoriasis cured/remission based solely on serum vit.D levelz :thumbs: But note that they check the thyroid and serum calcium levelz AND supplement with K2 as well since that reduces the bad calcium risk. Oh and in B's case since D supplements are frequently oil based you will need to werk with the powder and determine absorption 'cuz I dunno it :dunno:
That's ALL I was going for I swearez :sofa:
Oh and the ...
"That said how long did he take vit.D on the pogo diet and did the psoriasis begin to fade 2 weeks to one month after starting 'cuz I might noes why :yes: "
... I asked that 'cuz iffen he took the D supplement long enough perchance THAT was the :magic: of POGO :dunno:
Look just read the communication it's not rocket :brain: surgery or nuthin and has nuthin to does with :heart: cardiovascular blockages or nuthin :nono:
They took 6 people with fairly severe-ish psoriasis and fixeded them by tweaking their serum D levelz all in less than 3 months as I recallz. They did it cheaply and safely by monitoring the 6 subjects and tweaking the D quantities as needed.
K that's it anthin else was from yer :rbrain: interacting with yer fear and memo skillz ... 'cuz srsly I just thunked ohey this could be doog fer B :angel:

Who can't read? :wedgie:
I wasn't blaming cheese nor anything else. I was axing how he could take 30K D3 (just becuz I didn't name the 3 doesn't mean it wasn't there. :p ) whilst hasing major arterial blockage & have seemingly no issues whatsoever.
I gots no fear. I was simply questioning cuz that's what I do. :asilly:
Plus...Pandora mentioned the hypercalcemia & cautioned taking such high doses & then you seemed to kinda back off your initial suggestion. :crazyeyes:
That's the reason for the :stars: Nothing to does with the study. I get that. :yes: And IF he's interested we could do dat & I noes a PA who would monitor. But once again...it's his choice, not mine.
It's all good. :wiggle: I find the information fascinating & helpful. :yes: But when I relayed to him he was like "Oh...cool. :whatever: ". And back to doing whatever he was doing. :chuckle:
I, personally, am most interested in healing from the inside out. :om: As I've always known is possible but just haven't (til maybe now :) ) been able to fully grasp on this plane.
B still kinda needs a 'doctor' to tell him what to does. And yeah, Sig :therethere: , I respect your doctorhoods & get the doctors ain't psyintists thing but he's still under the general programming.....mostly. He's beginning to break free.
Everything is better & better in the :sparkle: Now :sparkle:
And NOW... I'ze gonna string my :tomatoes: once again cuz they're growing like :run:
And then i'm gonna do whatever calls to me next. :bliss: :asiel: :leisa:

Strung maters, fed some ffuts liquid plant doof, pulled some weeds, picked kale & lettuce & a cucumber for dinger, & then planted half runs where my Cherokee beans did not do so well. :yes: Planted in the sprinkling rain & now we gots a steady sprinkle. :happydance:

Well the :cheese: comment was just a bit of delightful saucy humor like the classic ... Dear math, solve your own problems :hysterical:
As for how he could take 30k of D3 ... well honestly that question suggests you need to learn more about D3 supplementation before beginning it AND I'm not trying to be mean :nono: there are dangers and risks and newly recognized ways to skirt around issues. You noes them :yes: 'cuz I :blah: :blah: :blah: ed but it hasn't sunk in yet :therethere:
For realz :yes: it's K2 and for 5,000 IU of D it's recommended to take 100mcg of K2 BUT with higher doses of D it's still only recommended to take no morez than 200mcg. This doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't take more BUT there isn't sufficient research :dunno:
The thang to keep in mind is both vitamin D and K2 play multiple roles in the body some of which include being considered hormones. Hormones are regulatory compounds and while vit.D modulates the adaptive immune system which is thought to ease psoriasis; K2 effects estrogen synthesis as well as activates osteocalcin the calcium binding protein BUT also effects testosterone levelz.
In short ... try at own risk ... and a PA who can do blood werk for thyroid hormone, serum calcium levels and of course vitamin D3 serum levelz would be perfect :thumbs: Srsly iffen she can monitor those 3 you could see afores taken anythin iffen B has low D levelz iffen he's between 50ng to 65ng per ml then there's no point :nono: elsewise cheap cure/fix :thumbs:
The villainous :tomatoe: fambily has :bean: strung up :check:

Saucy :tomato: :tomatoe:
K, fine (Get it...K2 joke :p ).
So...last question on this...how come Dr Pagano in his Psoriasis Cure book never mentioned any ill effects & just said "take 30K D3"?
Tho if I recall it was 30K per day for the first couple weeks then once a week thereafter. :yes:
Elsewise...summer is back. :sigh: We had a brief respite of low humidity & :fall: like 80s. Now it's supposedly 84/feels like 98. :heat:
I been groovin to 70s music all day :afrro: :peace: Not a care in the world. :bliss: :matt:
The ffuts 'out there' is too effed up to do more than peek at. :horror:
In totally unrelated newses... Lola has this auto start/stop feature where the engine shuts off at red lights (or lengthy stop signs, etc) & then she re-starts when you press the gas pedal. Supposedly it's a fuel saver but I really don't like it. :nonono:
There is a switch to turn it off & I hafta does it every time I start her up which is no problem. To me it feels like it's harder on the engine & likely uses as much gas, if not more for brief stops. :dunno:
What says youses?

I have no idea what Pogo was thinkin :dunno: but hypercalcemia generally requires a few months to manifest and psoriasis patients are notoriously low on vit.D ... I thought it was sumthin about freaky gut syndrome or some such :dunno: Also WHY would you does sumthin without :check: ing it out yerself first :buttkick:
Anywho powdered D3 ...
"• Vitamin D is passively absorbed in the lower part of the small intestine (the jejenum and ileum).
• Studies show that powdered, liquid or tablet supplements are all well absorbed. Research also shows that vitamin D is well absorbed both with and without food, and with or without fats too." according to NutriAdvanced (https://www.nutriadvanced.co.uk/news/supplementing-with-vitamin-d-getting-it-right-part-1-absorption)
... so it looks like any D3 will werk :thumbs:
Regardless git his serum D levelz first :yes: The whole point of the paper was to git psoriasis patients into the "optimal" serum level. Everything else is just safety protocols and tweaking. The important part was ALL 6 when supplemented to the proper level had zero active psoriasis plaques.
Personally I don't think vit.D can cure ALL psoriasis :nono: but there is a distinct geographical link with more psoriasis occurring the further away from the equator you git. Also not all psoriasis responds well to light therapy however my 'guess' is that those with pHotoresponsive psoriasis will respond well to D supplementation.
That said in general psoriasis doesn't git worser with age however a person can develop non-psoriatic lesions known as Koebner phenomenon. Think getting a cut or scrape THEN a psoriatic plaque develops around the injury. This can happen even in non-psoriatic patients. The problem is it is more likely to develop in psoriasis patients especially when they've used a variety of biologics :sofa:
In other wurdz the vit.D thang is prolly best iffen used early for those with photoresponsive psoriasis AND afores it possibly Koebnerizes :horror:
"Elsewise...summer is back. :sigh: We had a brief respite of low humidity & :fall: like 80s. Now it's supposedly 84/feels like 98. :heat: "

Yup :yes: Ukraine and China ... :run:
"... To me it feels like it's harder on the engine & likely uses as much gas, if not more for brief stops. :dunno: "
Yup! :yes: Basically you are saving fuel whenever you stop for atleast 8 seconds or so depending on the vehichle BUT you are doing it at the cost of wearing out the engine which I guess depends on yer situation as to what is better :dunno:
Personally it annoys the :carp: out of me :gaah: so one of them timez I took Gideon in for repairs and gotted one of them engine stopping stoopy cars for a loaner I tapped the hood kill switch to killz that stopping thang :muaha:
I figured there'd be a disengage switch for when the hood was open so the engine wouldn't stop. Iffen I owned the car I'd rewire it but I ended up tapping a small stick to make the hood not trip the switch. You should has alook under Lola's bonnet (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/groucho.gif)

Looong week :faint: just need to git through kale night Fryday eddition and I can crash
Doog news the weather is gonna be low to mid 60's for the next week :ura: :cheer:
Which is rather strange for this time of year :scratch: AND El Niño has awoken :no: so like nermal thangs might git inerestin :popcorn:
In other newses the minions ... ok mostly zero boy cannot/wont believe that there isn't a single best diet for eberyone :woe: and I figurez this might be a doog place to post my opinions/theories 'cuz otherwize I gotts nuthin :ashamed:
Anywho there are some peoplez/culturez/groups in the whurled that only eat vegetation and there are others that only eat animulez mostly because these peoplez has no choice. For the most part after a few generations anyways there are generally no significant health issues and longevity is generally purty muches the same +/- a few years for harsher climates/environments. In fact the curious part is that these peoples remain healthiest when minimizing outside interaction :angel:
For instance the Inuit's have an average lifespan of ~74yrs however, the more interaction with "modern life" mostly doof the lower that number falls :faint: Other vegetational culturez show similar results in fact India's population is a doog on goesing :egg: periment to follow :share: They has ~500 million vegetarians of which ~10% are currently vegans and that number is growing :horror:
Anywho, as mentioned afores Indian post docs have a 2 to 3 year health life when they git here iffen they is vegetational and that's almost :egg: sclusively because they use cheap stainless steel cookware here where back in India they used cheap cast iron and steal.
The point here is that you 'can' adapt to any lifestyle or diet given time and assuming you eventually find sources for all of the nutrients needed with the one :egg: ception being processed doof :no: Fer realz, as soon as you offer better aka more nutritious doof to a nutrient low culture the peoplez grow taller but do not live longer :nono: When a culture begins to assimilate processed doof in particular carbs, the peoplez grow wide and die earlier.
The thang is it's not the :burger: s creating the problems nor high oil levelz it's the buns :buttkick: and carb/sugar levelz can be high AND that's 'fine' but the processed carbs that are the main culprit.
In other wurdz vegetarians, vegans, keto, carnivore diets are all perfectly fine health-wise even long term as long as processed flour and yes to some :egg: tent sugar too is limited.
Each diet activates a different part of a hoomanz system and comes with benefits and costs. The right one for someone at any single time depends on their body and lifestyle and most iportantly their current "health" :yes:
Something to unerstanz is that hoomanz are/were evolving to being ... mostly ... meat eaters. This is largely due to the increase in :brain: size which gives us the evolutionary advantage. Also meat is the most nutrient dense 'natural' doof. Yes, it is possible to survive just on vegetation BUT completing proteins and getting enough nutrients without being a ruminant with multiple stomachs is a lot of werk :faint:
So here's what I noes/currently beleevez :rimshot: based on psighence ... iffen yer healthy with moderate daily activity yer best/easiest diet option is Mediteranean with a protein :bump: and here vegetational protein is betterer. Iffen you has vascular issues Dr.E's protocol is the way to goes espeeshully with :heart: blockages this is basically going veganism taken to the next level :faint: Iffen you has insulin issues but are otherwise NOT diabetic Keto or Carnivore diets are doog options. Iffen you are diabetic these are still doog options but should has a doctors supervision. Iffen you just hate vegetables ... perfectly unerstandable and not weird :yes: ... a carnivore diet is a great option especially iffen you are muscular and sports oriented. In fact "I" would recommend keto/carnivore for anyone with cancer :thumbs:
Here's the thang each of the :egg: treme diets have benefits and drawbacks the big one for many will be the co$$$t :faint: Also many of the thangs people assume will be bad and cause problems like cholesterol in a carnivore diet :woe: can actually be the cure. Like iffen you arteries have sticky plaque an all meat diet 'can' clear them out :yes: You will still has high cholesterol :yes: but the stickiness comes from the processed carbs and sugar which are eliminated in a proper carnivore diet.
Anywho the point I keep trying to make to the minions or whomever is that the majority of diet information is :carp: and you should never be afraid to try something different iffen what you are currently doesing isn't werking :thumbs: Of course preferably trying something that makes sensicalz is the best option though I've often considered the potential of an ALL :pizza: diet :wubsigh:

:b: would love to join you on that :pizza: diet. Me, notsomuch.
I enjoyed the dietary :book: very much but you left out 1 thing. :yes: Whenever possible (& I believe it's possible for everyone iffin they simply practice) it's best to listen to your cells. Pay attention to how the body feels & what it wants. :yes:
I've pretty much always known that certain foods left me energized whilst other simply depleted me. I think most peoples are wired that way but we overrule the notification system becuz we like the flavor, sugar buzz, caffeine high or other perceived pleasure. Same way I overruled my total distaste & discomfort of smoking until I made my body believe it liked it...it needed it. :yes:
For years I'd be chided at restaurants when I ordered the dinner salad with salmon. chicken or even steak. (way back) They'd say, "You gotta eat more that that. Is that really what you want? You sure?". :gaah: Yes, I was sure.
That was the thing that energized...lots & lots of greens...but I rarely had it at home cuz, well...eeerbody (B) didn't think that a proper meal. :chuckle:
I digress ( :wub: :windy: )....point is... we are all different. But the SAD (standard american diet) is not healthy for 98% of the population. There are oddities who can thrive on :carp: and at one time I woulda said :b: was one of them. :yes: :faint:
Ooooh, yesterday for lunch J & I gotted takeout... we had seaweed/cucumber saiad, kani salad, cucumber sushi & fried tofu. :drool: That was a perfect, satisfying, feel-good meal for me. Lotsa raw vegetationals with a bit o' rice & a bit o' panko friedness. :cheer:
The cukes in the salad were cut in widdle :fries: shape. I'm not sure how they did dat. :scratch: Like about the size of 4 matchsticks put back together. The matchsticks were in the sushi. :yes:
It's another beautiful summer daze in Tanasi. :bliss:
Oh & Lola has an 'off' button for the auto start/stop right in the center console. Tis as automatic as a seatbelt now to just push the button. Funny tho, at first I didn't know abouts the button OR the stopping & starting & I'd put my purse right in the center (on the button!). I couldn't figger out why it sometimes did it & sometimes didn't til I gotted the manual & looked at the IP & beyond buttons & settings & stuffs. :rofl:

Noooooo that's just the :blob: and :mushrooms: whispering to yer :brain: :frantic:
Srsly though that's "yes" and "NO" ... most peoplez do not even noes what "real" hunger feelz like :nono: and they will not unerstanz the difference between the :vibes: Feelz of what they want vs what their body actually needz. For realz iffen ya hasn't :egg: perienced it you wont unerstanz and most will be turned into cravings of salt or sugar plus drink and mealtime fill ups.
Regardless there's a big difference between an appetite and true hunger. Plus if the thang yer body "needz" has neber been :egg: perienced or it don't noes what doof contains it the feelz are moot :oz:
Anywho yeah smoking is way up there on the list of ways to screw up yer life but the thang that always annoys me ... 'cuz it's rarely listed ... is the number of deaths from legally prescribed medication taken properly is 3rd or 4th {depending on data sources} for deaths in the US :woe:
Thang is I'm purty sure it's much higher too :sofa:

:wub: :windy: ... :happydance: ... American doof is fine :yes: ... for the most part diets are a choice. Sure you can claim doof inequities and affordability issues yada yada :whatever: but in the end our doof is part of an economic system that is driven by supply and demand.
You may have noticed it's not cheap being WTFPB or vegan or keto OR Carnivore :faint: however going on a convenience doof diet is cheap :yes: for the doof just not the medical bills later on :horror:
Anywho NONE of those diets are "bad" in general PLUS the Mediteranean variants :nono: but there will always be some people who cannot thrive on them some will fail short term others long term BUT a specific diet will not be for them :therethere: That's why it's important to unerstanz which diets help who what best in which circumstances :yes: Also just for nuf :check: out what is said about each for common issues like kidneys. You will see that EBERY diet may cause renal problems :gaah: BUT in EBERY case you will find someone with kidney disease say it cured them :huh:
Did I mention that most diet information is :carp: :hysterical:
Anywho you can listen to yer body, yer :mushrooms: overlords or youtube or whomever ya likes :yes: My point is iffen ya don't feelz doog don't try to double down on a diet that's not werken just feelz free to try sumthin elses :angel:
OR ... :wwsd: ... just try eberythang :bliss:
Ooooh yeah the Japanese sushiests are masters of cukes :thumbs: there are a bazillion ways of cutting and treating them thangs to give different flavours and textures :thumbs: Also kani salad is one of my favourite fillings for siguie brand onigiri :thumbs: I use Daechun(Choi''s1) Wasabi Seaweed (https://amzn.to/3p9HNFW) <= Amazon Link ... to wrap the onigiri 'cuz it's a decent wasabi/horese radish flavour :liplick: plus it's doog and I has a lot of it :whistle:
FYI: I found out that dried nori has between 15mcg and 45mcg Iodine per gram. Each Daechun pack is 4g of nori so ~80mcg or 1/2 of the RDA.
Anywho iodine deficiency is common so this is my preferred supplement :oz:

I is here. Sorta. :laugh:
:asiel: The weekend with the event sounded so nice. Sorta like that moment where it's content, ending on the porch and yeah those plants are a much better option. Plants are always a better option. :rainbow: So, you're further south and have a longer growing season of which I am envious. My garden is still growing and I won't see fruits until late July. :sigh: :tomato: are not ready for stringing just yet here. Does you git :tomato: soon? Like do you have the green ones now?
All about the diet stuffs. I kinda agree when it comes to cravings and listening to what yer body tells you. But :sigster: is right. I think most times cravings are based in self soothing for the majority of peoples and not what they actually need. I'm prone to comfort/emotional eating. Because of that, I've worked on knowing when my craving is emotionally based, or actually what my body is craving. Fer example; I want chocolate or popcorn as a snack as opposed to craving out of the blue a big dark green salad packed with mushrooms and what not. That chocolate or popcorn is a comfort thang. That salad? That's my body tellin' me it needs whatever is in that big salad I make. I pretty much am on the Mediterranean diet naturally. Minus the meat stuffs.
Best bet is to get :b: 's Vit D serum level and goes from there I thinks. Monitoring that before a high amount of supplement doses would hopefully lend :balance: to maintaining correct dosages, and not risk high levels which can bring on other issues. Gosh Asiel, you are so diligent and nurturing. :hug:
I'm through all of the seasons of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch...except 4. It wants me to sign on and stuffs for that season. I gotta figger that out. So here's what I'm :hmm2: What if that isn't a craft buried in the mesa, but simply a dome shaped pad that manipulates a targeted area of sky or ground into opening a dimensional portal through which smaller craft/creatures can travel? Or even a parallel universe? What if by digging and damaging the conduction dome, they are endangering the ability of said travel, and that is why there are defensive tactics going on as a consequence? Again, Eric simply makes more sense, and focuses on an ordered compilation of the data at least in a way I feel more confident with. Travis is just not well ordered or easy to relate to logically.
Any waze of I :run: to play in the yard/garden and stuffs. :bye: fer nows. :hug:

:michafire: NOW ya shows up :woe:
Heya :wave: :glomp:
Well I still thinxz you should upgrade though leaving a mess behind is perfectly nermal :yes: I HATE the cleanup :gaah: but dang I would ALWAYS make sure peoplez has doof ready for when they come back ... heck I even cooked for Sebastian twice a day :yes:
Anywho glad ya made it :thumbs:
But you fergetted abouts the :sunhug: :sunhug: train :no:
:tinhat:
Pan is back :faint:
:heya: :wave: :happydance:
Um dad purty muches ALWAYZ has :tomatoe: s :yes: that's one of the main reasons for the grow tent. He doesn't like the idea that he may has to eat :carp: maters from the store in the wynter so he has a few staggered plants which turns into a ginormous knott of :tomato: plants that requires siguie brand deknotting :gaah: But yeah doog maters all year round :oz:
"... I think most times cravings are based in self soothing for the majority of peoples and not what they actually need."
I thinxz yer putting it too nicely :yes: "self soothing" sounds pleasant and nermal :yes: I thinxz the main issue is the US and most of the civilized whurled is populated by doof addicts :yes: Which is fine :yes: ... most ... peoplez are addicted to breathing air too :drama: The problem is addicts generally cannot or do not want to change and being addicted to :carp: doof has the unforeseeable drawback of not being healthy ... who nude :dunno:
Personally I don't think anyone {healthy} should be on ANY single diet for more than a few months :nono: and I'm purty sure changing ebery 3 to 6 months is optimal :thumbs:
The hooman body has evolved to be an apex predator with the key advantage being the :brain: which happens to run on glucose and take up ~25% of idling energy. Iffen you look at the digestive system hoomanz are clearly carnivorean :yes: being monogastric but not "hind-gut digesters" like gorillas or horses humanz did not evolve to survive on plants alone :nono: Now iffen you take note of what nutrients hoomanz evolved to recycle or not loose too quickly, it's easy to see hoomanz were evolving towards all meat but retain enough :egg: tras to survive on what is available :thumbs:
The current and reining siguie theory is healthy people should prolly be in ketosis half of the year and glycolysis the other half. The type of ketosis and glycolysis should also vary by season :yes: Anywho a thang to keep in mind is that you cannot git all of the nutrients needed in plants alone without ingesting a HUGE amount like horses and gorillas and even then hoomanz would need to tweak ratios and grains or supplement to make the diet sustainable. On the other hand you can eat only meat no problem, in fact iffen you include :heart: liver and kidneys it's like hoomanz were borned to eat like that :whistle:
Anywho, I'm a firm beleeber in trying ffuts to seez what happens :bliss: and just using whateber werks :angel:
Yeah Skinwalker Ranch season 4 episodes 5 or 6 does that so I haven't seen them neether :sigh:
The thang in the mesa is purported to be non-natural which iffen true warrants digging it up :yes: otherwise yes it's quite possibly nuthin but a big parabolic reflector. I really wish they could accurately map the thang 'cuz you noes they 'can' :gaah: and iffen it is just a parabola where is the focal point? Is it down in the mesa where thangs appear to be showing OR is it up in the triangle or somewherez :share:
Yes Erik makes more sensicalz but he wouldn't be able to carry the show with drama and :boom: Travis is basically an actor with a psientistical background. In any event it's a rather intriguing area :popcorn:
Anywho Travis is also involved in the whole UAP thang and the show does a doog boj of atleast showing them and having the US aircraft, helicopters etc. nearby ... watching :uhoh:
In any event I likes to thinxz that the portalling is also related to paranermal pHenomena 'cuz there is a fair amount of thangs that also involve radiation and EMF tweaks plus I mean come on "portal" :norway: who hasn't heard of ghostly portals :happydance:
Anywho, I'm getting new toys ready just in case :ura: :cheer:

Dang ya noes it's a slow day :slowday: when I'm the first one here :uhoh:
Ah wellz I was waiting for the right time to post this anyways ... published in Nature back in 2019 ...
Basically South Korea has significantly better public healthcare than we does and basically 12 million :faint: people were screened and followed between 2001 and 2013 in which time 694,423 died :candle: The question that they wanted to answer is what is the relation of TC {Total Cholesterol} relative to all-cause-mortality {aka anythin that killed ya :sofa: }
There's a lot of information but the last line sums it up ...
"TC levels associated with lowest mortality were 210–249 mg/dL, except for men aged 18–34 years (180–219 mg/dL) and women aged 18–34 years (160–199 mg/dL) and 35–44 years (180–219 mg/dL). The inverse associations for TC < 200 mg/dL were stronger than the positive associations in the upper range."
In other wurdz overall lowest death rates for ALL ages and genders is 210–249 mg/dL ... long LONG agoes 250mg/dl was considered nermal btw :whistle:
Men under 34 did better with 30mg/dl LESS while wiminz did better at 50mg/dl Less.
FYI: yes, it's been noed fer a long time that older peoplez are better with higher TC levelz :whistle:
Fer instance in the British Medical Journal an open access review article ...
LDL-C is just LDL with C standing for cholesterol.
In any event there are many articles like the ones above done by respected researchers and published in peer reviewed and respected journals like the ones above which are basically the toppiest tippiest tier :wiggle:
So does this mean cholesterol numberz are worthless? no :nono: But it should make those interested or those with a vested interest learn more :angel:
It should also be noted there are many MANY similar papers AND in the medical community there is a lot of :gayfight: about cholesterol :roll:
In any event I thunked it a doog time to post this ffuts agin :oz: ya noes 'cuz otherwise I ha nuthin :sigh:
Also thinxz about statins :woe:
FYI: siguie theory about diets ... any diet, much like the Mediterranean one, which emphasizes consuming LESS processed doofs, added sugars, refined grains, and alcohol are basically ALL the same :matt:
Sure you might does slightly better with one over another but that's just nermal variation ... it's the refined carbs and :egg: tra sugar doesing the killin 'n ffuts :yes:
To lose weight fewer carbs more :egg: sercise OR keto/carnivore but just long enough to lose weight OR atleast realize you can still gain weight on keto and espeeshully carnivore :oz: Also thinxz about it once you realize that iffen you don't has CAD and cholesterol isn't an issue the carnivore diet SUDDENLY gits a lot less skeery :whistle:
In other newses ...
71°F I'm dyin here :heat:
Ah wellz I was waiting for the right time to post this anyways ... published in Nature back in 2019 ...
Quote from: natureTotal cholesterol and all-cause mortality by sex and age: a prospective cohort study among 12.8 million adults
Abstract
It is unclear whether associations between total cholesterol (TC) levels and all-cause mortality and the optimal TC ranges for lowest mortality vary by sex and age. 12,815,006 Korean adults underwent routine health examinations during 2001–2004, and were followed until 2013. During follow-up, 694,423 individuals died. U-curve associations were found. In the TC ranges of 50–199 and 200–449 mg/dL, each 39 mg/dL (1 mmol/L) increase in TC was associated with 23% lower (95% CI:23%,24%) and 7% higher (6%,7%) mortality, respectively. In the age groups of 18–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, and 75–99 years, each 1 mmol/L higher TC increased mortality by 14%, 13%, 8%, 7%, 6%, and 3%, respectively (P < 0.001 for each age group), for TC ≥ 200 mg/dL, while the corresponding TC changes decreased mortality by 13%, 27%, 34%, 31%, 20%, and 13%, respectively, in the range < 200 mg/dL (P < 0.001 for each age group). TC had U-curve associations with mortality in each age-sex group. TC levels associated with lowest mortality were 210–249 mg/dL, except for men aged 18–34 years (180–219 mg/dL) and women aged 18–34 years (160–199 mg/dL) and 35–44 years (180–219 mg/dL). The inverse associations for TC < 200 mg/dL were stronger than the positive associations in the upper range.

Basically South Korea has significantly better public healthcare than we does and basically 12 million :faint: people were screened and followed between 2001 and 2013 in which time 694,423 died :candle: The question that they wanted to answer is what is the relation of TC {Total Cholesterol} relative to all-cause-mortality {aka anythin that killed ya :sofa: }
There's a lot of information but the last line sums it up ...
"TC levels associated with lowest mortality were 210–249 mg/dL, except for men aged 18–34 years (180–219 mg/dL) and women aged 18–34 years (160–199 mg/dL) and 35–44 years (180–219 mg/dL). The inverse associations for TC < 200 mg/dL were stronger than the positive associations in the upper range."
In other wurdz overall lowest death rates for ALL ages and genders is 210–249 mg/dL ... long LONG agoes 250mg/dl was considered nermal btw :whistle:
Men under 34 did better with 30mg/dl LESS while wiminz did better at 50mg/dl Less.
FYI: yes, it's been noed fer a long time that older peoplez are better with higher TC levelz :whistle:
Fer instance in the British Medical Journal an open access review article ...
Quote from: bmjLack of an association or an inverse association between low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and mortality in the elderly: a systematic review
Abstract
Objective It is well known that total cholesterol becomes less of a risk factor or not at all for all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality with increasing age, but as little is known as to whether low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), one component of total cholesterol, is associated with mortality in the elderly, we decided to investigate this issue.
.
.
.
Conclusions High LDL-C is inversely associated with mortality in most people over 60 years. This finding is inconsistent with the cholesterol hypothesis (ie, that cholesterol, particularly LDL-C, is inherently atherogenic). Since elderly people with high LDL-C live as long or longer than those with low LDL-C, our analysis provides reason to question the validity of the cholesterol hypothesis. Moreover, our study provides the rationale for a re-evaluation of guidelines recommending pharmacological reduction of LDL-C in the elderly as a component of cardiovascular disease prevention strategies.
...
... Full Article ...
LDL-C is just LDL with C standing for cholesterol.
In any event there are many articles like the ones above done by respected researchers and published in peer reviewed and respected journals like the ones above which are basically the toppiest tippiest tier :wiggle:
So does this mean cholesterol numberz are worthless? no :nono: But it should make those interested or those with a vested interest learn more :angel:
It should also be noted there are many MANY similar papers AND in the medical community there is a lot of :gayfight: about cholesterol :roll:
In any event I thunked it a doog time to post this ffuts agin :oz: ya noes 'cuz otherwise I ha nuthin :sigh:
Also thinxz about statins :woe:
FYI: siguie theory about diets ... any diet, much like the Mediterranean one, which emphasizes consuming LESS processed doofs, added sugars, refined grains, and alcohol are basically ALL the same :matt:
Sure you might does slightly better with one over another but that's just nermal variation ... it's the refined carbs and :egg: tra sugar doesing the killin 'n ffuts :yes:
To lose weight fewer carbs more :egg: sercise OR keto/carnivore but just long enough to lose weight OR atleast realize you can still gain weight on keto and espeeshully carnivore :oz: Also thinxz about it once you realize that iffen you don't has CAD and cholesterol isn't an issue the carnivore diet SUDDENLY gits a lot less skeery :whistle:

Cholesterol has always been a struggle for me. At one point my over all level exceeded 300. I was in my late 40s at the time. Dr wanted to shove the pills at me per usual. :roll: I made a deal with him. Let me try to make serious diet changes, retest me in a year, and then we'll talk pills. A year later, the over all level was down to 228. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just keep doing whatever you're doing." So, I have. No pills. The dang pills can cause more problems.
Garden is coming along nicely, and the rain is pretty frequent right now. It's 76F and 51% humidity. The humid stuffs is giving me issues. Always does. So, staying quiet during the midday. I do all my gardening outside stuffs in the early hours when it's been 55-66F. With that being said, Happy Summer Solstice! :sun:

-The Titan tourist sub was NOT equipped with any sort of beacon/locater, and it's not being found. :doh: There has been a banging sound picked up by sonar. It doesn't look good though. :(
-Mormon crickets (which are actually a type of katydid) have swarmed Nevada.
Okay. Off I :run:

Actually I'd wager yer high Cholesterol was stress related :yes: Yer a :wheee: bit high strung :therethere:
Also high cholesterol in the 400+ range really isn't an issue without other factors ... some peoplez just has HIGH cholesterol but they is fine unless they start taking (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) :no:
Yeah statins are kinda stoopid :therethere: they werk and iffen ya has other issues they may has their uses but for the most part iffen ya gits enough :egg: sercise I wouldn't worry about any cholesterol numberz :nono: Thang is the tests are not even that accurate and you can tweak yer numbers by eating and drinking different ffuts a day or two afores the blood draw ... add in a +/- 10%n accuracy ... plus it being a stoopid test ... :buttkick:

Carnivore diet :no:
I have read about carnivoring reversing CAD & tho I believed it has worked for many it still boggles my mind.
Tho, you well noes I am just not a 'meat eater'. Meat makes me sad. :yucky: And many peoples are not 'vegetable eaters'.
A cousin once told me he won't eat any vegetable unless it's fried. :nonono: Fried green maters, fried okra, french fries. That's about it. And no, he's not the picture of health...chronic digestive issues, pain & severe constipation. :dunno:
But there are people who eat like that & are perfectly healthy. :yes:
Which brings us full circle to the :brain: and :sparkle: intention :sparkle: and following one's own inner guidance. :yes:
And yes, listening to one's body takes practice and discipline that most are not willing to exercise. :yes:
I'm still working on helping :b: learn to listen to his body but his junk doof gene keeps overriding his body's needs.
It's that need vs want thingy. :rofl:
I asked for meal ideas just now & he said tuna noodle casserole. :woe:
I usta make a killer casserole with celery, onion, milk butter, & the usual creaming seasonings...topped with a delicious parmesan crust. And for some reason he thunk that would be 'fine'. :woe: Just with almond milk, he says. :chuckle:
So yeah...doof IS medicine. This vegetable soup/stew I'm eating for breakfast is the perfect medicine for me. :drool:

"Carnivore diet :no:

:chuckle: Yes, it really werks and yer :brain: is not hard to boggle :therethere:
:flyball:
You are most familiar with CAD from B's calcified blockages but there is also CAD related to low levelz of CoQ10 as well as insulin resistance and high glucose induced sticky plaques to mention just a couple. If these are the only 2 reasons for CAD then carnivore dieting would indeed 'cure' the CAD :angel:
The problem is it's not that easy to do the carnivore diet properly :horror: Prolly not WTFPB hard but you literally cut out all of the vegetation AND carbs. In return you can eat all the oil, salt and animule protein you want. In fact the idea is you eat that way UNTIL you is full :yes:
Basically the result is ketosis with very high protein levelz :thumbs: Plus iffen you was deficient in anything you wont be for long :nono: In fact iffen you look at the timez needed to go from deficient to tank full for most important nutrients you will see they take 3 months or less ... which is a siguie theory tie in 8)
Anywho one benefit of the carnivore diet is reduction of il-6 {interleuken-6} which is known as a pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine involved in both psoriasis and RA ... imagine that coinkidink :huh: Anywho il-6 plays a role in the whole autoimmune development phase of diseases due to the effect on CD4+T cells this is one of the keys to eberythang goesing :boom: or :om:
The point is carnivore diet FTW :woohoo:
Srsly though ebery diet has benefits and consequences and you should unerstanz eberythang you can afores deciding on one :yes: Honestly it's not that hard :nono: Also just because a diet 'can' make you healthy doesn't mean it will :nono: For instance the carnivore diet is best suited for healthy active peoplez AND is doog for those who have gained weight from carbs and are in some stage of insulin resistance.

Oh and here's a doog general overview of the whole :heart: attacking process she's a keto doctor NOT carnivore necessarily but doog overall.
Why I don't prescribe statins for high LDL cholesterol (https://youtu.be/rymCw1ED5tk)
Thang is she kinda messes up a few points on the statin :woe: the way she describes it iffen ya thinxz about it would be beneficial BUT close enough :yes: The oxidized "bullet" LDL embedded in the endothelials "aka arterial linning" is called a foam cell and the build up is what causes the problem.
I still cannot figure out the process under which foam cells are removed BUT it appears to be based on slooow macropaHage chewing away over time. The reversal of the calcification appears to be a combination of turning off the endothelial stem cell like osteocytes followed by slow absorption and erosion.
Like I mentioned afores B likely doesn't has a blockagse due to insulin resistance :nono: Smoking produces foam cells in an alternative manner. This is also why I said iffen he needed to "cheat" carbs is prolly safer for him than oil.
The thang you "should" be asking is how does the Dr.E protocol werk it's magic? :scratch: The answer "I believe " is like the keto and carnivore diet the essentially zero carb is the main factor. The thang is tech :nickel: ly Dr.E's protocol doesn't force you into ketosis but pretty darn close and there is nothing that would actually spike glucose/insulin.
The main difference between keto/carnivore and Dr.E's protocol is the nitric oxide :bump: which is important for CAD espeeshully when angina is involved BUT both keto and carnivore diets can werk too but through different pathways.
Here's the thang Dr.E's protocol isn't necessarily a "healthy" diet for nermalz it's designed for CAD patients. Both keto and carnivore diets have advantages that should not be overlooked :nono: The one real question is is B's blockage deblocking? :dunno: :share:
Anywho, like I mentioned afores I thinxz it's best to shift diets between ketogenic, carnivoric and glycolytic roughly ebery 3 months following the seasons :yes: Ideally it should be done to the seasonal time periods of yer predominant genetic ancestry 'cuz that's how peoplez evolved :angel:

Dr E's diet contains many many fruits, :tater: s & starchy vegetables. :peas: Are those not carbs? :pie:
You ever see the oats he eats? He takes a giant bowl & adds one cup of raw oats. Then he adds lots & lots of berries, fresh or frozen, then he adds 1 :banana: and sometimes 2 :banana: :banana: . Covers it all with storebought oat or almond milk & eats that once a day for sure but often times twice a day. :yes: Carbolicious! :happydance: I eat it like that, too. :righton: B only eats it cooked with raisins, brown sugar &/or maple or overnighted, again only with raisins. :crazyeyes:
I'm making a vegetable (un)fried rice for supper. :yes: Brown rice, but still quite carbolicious. :happydance:
With miso soup.
Unless we decide to does hobo stew (lotsa veggies & beyond meat wrapped in foil). It's awfully hot out there...94 feels like 118 according to Accuweather but I concur. :heat: But hobo stew doesn't require much attention so maybe a bit more :campfire: out there won't make much difference.
Anyway, in this heat...dripping wet with sweat...B weedeated half the farm (he did the other half yesterday). About 3 hours of weedeating. :faint: I rode Kobe Kubota & then picked a quart or 2 of blueberries. :happydance: I'm cooling off enough to shower. :yes: Iffin you don't cool down first you get out of the shower & start sweating once again. :no:
Yesterday Jacki had a one day dance group reunion class & performance. :wubsigh: 4 members of her former group and the director, Sarah, was in from Nashville. So we were out from 8:30AM til nearly 2. And then we came straight in & he started eating weeds, I hopped on the mower.
This heat is ridiculous tho. Tejas, I mean Africa :wub: , hot! :may5:

I'm pointlos :wiggle: but this is what I was replying to:
The thang you "should" be asking is how does the Dr.E protocol werk it's magic? :scratch: The answer "I believe " is like the keto and carnivore diet the essentially zero carb is the main factor. The thang is tech :nickel: ly Dr.E's protocol doesn't force you into ketosis but pretty darn close and there is nothing that would actually spike glucose/insulin.
:huh: So obliviously, all that fruit & :tater: & :pea: & suches doesn't spike glucose/insulin? :pie:
Anyway...it's a beautiful day & we are off to Paducah. :elfparty:
Still low 90's but lower humidity. :yes The feels like hit 122 yesterday. :faint:

K this is me with serious face ... [srsly] :tater: :peas: & suches including most fruit are "recommended" for diabetics to eat :angel: [/srsly]
Those with meat ARE what diabetics should be eating. Sure eating all fruit or ONLY :tater: s is not recommended but those are short and medium carbs WITH fiber to slow the sugar absorption ... like eating dates that's fine :yes:
Yes, those are some of the reasons why Dr.E's protocol is not strictly ketotic BUT even you noted that you ALL dropped a lot of weight quickly and that you noted a ketone smell. Losing fat quickly on any diet, iffen it's not actually water purty muches means ketosis :yes:
Yer body is hard wired to use sugar as a primary fuel and will even forcibly use gluconeogenesis to create glucose for the :brain: The thang is sugar is a highly water soluble energy source which makes it ideal for all yer cellular NRGeez needz :vibes: Turning :egg: cess sugar into fat which is oil and not water soluble takes werk :flex: and is for fuel storage. Using fat as fuel is a tad tricky because it is no longer water soluble :no: ... Enter engine #2 ... the fuel used is no longer glucose but rather the fatty acids that are now stored as fat {or consumed in a meal}.
Ya see tallow, aka :cow: body fat is mostly a mix of triglycerides. Yer body fat is essentially tallow and cooking oils are all triglycerides ... AND rejoice :gstars: because this is what engine #2 runs on ... nearly ... unfortunately triglycerides are the oil ... not water soluble form used for storage. However, they can be broken down via ketogenesis producing what is referred to as "ketone bodies" ... THESE are the actual doof for engine #2 :angel:
Glucose is primarily made by plants and stored as polymers known as starches. Free glucose gits into the bloodstream lickitysplitz :run: starches goes from short to medium to long chain with each taking a little longer to git into the blood :suck: This is why diabetics need to incorporate all of the various sugars and starches into a meal with the idea of maintaining a more or less even level of glucose through the digestion process AND no :bump: spike :nono: FYI: glucogen is basically a small ranch :whip: of glucose :cow: and is stored mostly in the skeletal muskles and liver for when you SUDDENLY runs out of glucose.
The alternative, which ghostghurl employs is the run only on engine #2 option aka live on a ketogenic diet.
Um so yer mom was on metformin the last I recallz which puts her in the prediabetic metabolic syndrome category, why not git ZA and he to try a carnivore/ketogenic diet :angel: It's way WAY easier than WTFPB you 'can' see the results in as little as 1 day with urine ketone strips AND in one week she could melt a doog amount of weight off, improve some inflammatory markers and then she can decide iffen it's for her/them :oz:
FYI: the mitochondria in the liver are speeshul and are readily available to utilize either fuel source. That said there is sumthin noed as a keto adaptation period ... where the rest of yer body adapts and this begins after a few daze but tgenerally akes 4 to 12 weeks to complete {note that recurring 3 month theme 8) } for FULL Throttle to be available BUT that's also where yer :brain: starts to git in on the keto party :happydance: which agin has more benefits :oz:
Also the more adapted you is the more carbs you can has without :buttkick: ing yerself out of ketosis and or the faster you can git back to ketosis. How many carbs is ok will depend on the person plus health, age and levelz of activity etc.

98 tomorrow...100 on Friday. :scared:
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THURSDAY TO 8 PM CDT FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values between 110 to 115 degrees expected.
* WHERE...Portions of East Arkansas, North Mississippi, Southeast Missouri and West Tennessee.
* WHEN...From 11 AM Thursday to 8 PM CDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities
And Rubio... :woe: What he's saying may very well be true but sadly I always wonder what the agenda is. His agenda, that is.
Maybe someday peoples will just speak truth for the sake of being truthful. What a joy that would be. :sparkle:
As for the carbing... so peoples on keto diets who only eat green beans & lettuce (according to a person I knew :chuckle: ) are 'wrong'? :huh: It was all about counting carbs. The aforementioned person lost 100 pounds. Gained back 120. :sigh: Mom & ZA will NEVER give up cornbread or dumplings or sausage & biscuits or fried fish. :nonono: ZA said she could not live without tomatoes when we did the Pogo diet. :chuckle:
And yeah, Mom's A1C was creeping up, even with the metformin, & the PA told her to "just watch the carbs...cut back on pasta (which Mom never eats) & sweets (Mom eats rarely)". She's gonna be 80 in September. She & ZA told me that the rules change when you get that age. :chuckle: They no longer give a :carp: about diabetes or heart disease or stroke (they just hope it's lethal :sigh: ) & I argue that quality of life is important at any age. That at any age one can feel better & be fitter. :yes: But they don't care, they love southern doof more than they desire feeling better.
Anyway...Mom is just like her dad, Buddy. :wub: His blood sugar levels were around 400 & he never took insulin. He also had advanced kidney disease & had no treatment for it other than having to be catherized periodically to drain masss amounts of urine.
He lived to be 91 & kept going (except for a temporary downturn or 2) & the dementia was the biggest thing the last 3-4 years BUT...he didn't even realize he had dementia after awhile & simply lived in the moment. :sparkle:
And remember...he ate McDonald's every single day. :faint: :hamburger: every time he went out. Remember how it bothered me? :sigh: But that's when I learned that other peoples choices, no matter how much I loves them, are NOT my responsibility (except Jacki of course :yes: ).
Zen Aunt worries constantly about developing dementia. She will likely think herself into it. :yes: And if I was her I'd go WFPB in a heartbeat.
Eeerbody does what eeerbody does. :wiggle:
Oh...my cousin-in-law, Marilyn, who lives up the drive...she headed out last week on a trip to DC with her son, dil & grandkids.
They got as far as East Tanasi (about 4 hours) when she began having sever pains which she thunk in her stomach. They took her to the ER where it was determined that she had 2 blood clots in her lungs. :faint: They kept her overnight & gave her some kind of med that "makes the blood go around the clots & a blood thinner" (second-hand relayed info) & they went on to DC. :faint: When she gets home (tonight or tomorrow, I forgot) she is to go in to address the clots.
Yeah, she is an ex-smoker...about 5 years ex...and her mother was prone to blood clotting.
Speaking of...I gotta go. I been watering her plants & medicating 2 of her cats. One takes hyaluronic acid...the other gets an anti-inflammatory for arthritis...I forgot what.
Today is :b: 's Friday!!! :gstars:
Let the vacay begin!!!
:bliss2: :heat: :bliss:

"As for the carbing... so peoples on keto diets who only eat green beans & lettuce (according to a person I knew :chuckle: ) are 'wrong'? :huh: It was all about counting carbs."
I has no clue what this means :scratch: yes, no, sorta and maybeez :idunno:
You has 2 engines one runs on carbs the other runs on oil. Engine #1 is preferred because carbs/sugar are easy and Engine #2 runs on ketones which is derived from the oil and requires an :egg: tra step. Iffen you eat enough carbs engine #2 never turns on elsewise #2 runs and the fuel is body fat or oil that has been ingested.
Iffen you ingest more energy than the body uses ... carbs OR oil it don't matter :nono: ... you gain weight. Iffen you ingest less energy than your body requires it uses the fat reserve and you lose weight. Eberythang else comes from the side effects of the numerous and very different chemical processes used. :angel:
Paleo hoomanz were hunter gatherers ... carbs were relatively rare BUT highly prized :yes: Iffen you research the history you'll see they mostly gotted a couple of yams for starches and eberythang else carby was rare or harvested during the summer.
"Mom & ZA will NEVER give up cornbread or dumplings or sausage & biscuits or fried fish. :nonono: "
:scratch: k I thinxz you has some srsly messed up concepts of ketosis things like sausage and fried fish are fine. Also I was suggesting a diet not a lifestyle change. It's possible to be in ketosis after just 12h and it's easy to do in 48h and 72h {3 :daisy: } and you might even notice some benefits.
Youses all gone and dided ketosis the hardest possible way :sofa: I would neber suggest a WTFPB keto :horror: for durt momma and ZA :nonono: Keto is really easy iffen you eat :cow: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) :chicken: and :egg: s heck I sometimez goes keto when I fergetz to bake bread :yes: However, YOU would need a completely different :brain: set 'cuz you is very plants are doog and absolutely EBERYONE must haz ... which is just medical :brain: washing :therethere:
Here's the thang EBERY diet has benefits and not being able to eat what you want when you want ALWAYS :suck: s :unthumbs: BUT some diets are easier than others and personally I think designing keto mealz is trivial ... yer mileage may vary :angel:
"And yeah, Mom's A1C was creeping up, even with the metformin ..."
Yeah, that's "nermal" progression :yes: and why I thinxz she and ZA should atleast look at keto/carnivore diets :yes: Also make sure durt momma is taking B12 preferably a "methylated" B12 :thumbs: Metformin as well as most statins gobble up B12 and absorbing it can be problematic ... some peoplez do not absorb nermal B12 very well and should has the methylated version ... plus methylated B12 can be cheaper 8)

Oh and also kinda cool that the Kanukianz can seez it :yes: wish Taz or Pan were around :drama: :sigh:

K let's see ... "But they don't care, they love southern doof more than they desire feeling better.

On the plus side they are correct in thinxzing that :heart: and cardiovascular diseases become less deleterious though more SUDDEN :boom:
The worst thangs are sarcopenia {age related muskle loss }, osteoperosis AND of course any of the age related :brain: issues. This is literally why I researched this ffuts :angel: Has I mentioined Red/Infrared Light therapy :whistle:
Anywho I gotted dad on the photobiomodulation bandwagon when his dermatologist told him his skin was thin and now he does a full body :butt: nekkid light bath twice a week ~20min each. AND he noticed his eyes were getting better too :chuckle:
Oh right durt momma and ZA ... ya cannot force them to does anythin :nono: so ya has to show them, entice them with the potential, make it easy for them to try and hope it takes :yes: It took dad a little over 5 years to use the light system I gotted him and nealy 15 afores he'd use colloidal silver BUT he gotted there :angel:
Did I mention I gotted Dad 12 or 13 :scratch: bottles of gummies to address all of his nutritional deficiencies with the no :cow: or pork thang :angel:
He cannot take BIG pills OR too many at one time so kept neglecting important thangs like Calcium :gaah: ya needz 1.2g per day and he refuses to drink milk, eat :cheese: or anythin and Calcium Carbonate requires ~3g which is way WAY too muches and too big a pill :wall: So I get him the gummies 8) along with a magnesium gummy PLUS gummy D3 +K2 and about 8 more gummies. I then put them in a quarter cup sized plastic container and he eats one multi-gummy dose a day like candy :yesss:
I gotted a doog Zinc gummy but there really isn't a Copper gummy :no: and you wouldn't want to take them together neether :hmm2: So I boughted a 99.999% pure copper electrode and crafted him a nasal probe stirring rod for his tea. He drinks :coffee: in the morning and tea after 4pm {high tea}. Just like that :boom: tannins in the tea slooowly erode the copper swizzle stick and :boom: Copper :bump: enabled :yesss:
Anywho, the point is there's always sumthin more you can try :yes: THEY don't need to does it right away but anythin on the PLUS side helps so just keep trying :yes:
I basically gotted dad eating all his missing nutrients as supplements and in addition to endless kale daze :no: I figured out how to git him to eat ~1lb of ground :turkey: per week :thumbs: I'm there atleast twice per week kaling :pullhair: and I create curries, soups, stir fry, etc. that can go in the freezer. So while it seems like I'mjust making sure he has 3 or 4 easy mealz they are also :turkey: infused nutritional :bump: s 8)
Now I'm werken on getting him to accept more of my biohacking ffuts but so far sooo doog :thumbs:
Back to durt momma ... you should really has a look at ketosis ... not just the diet :nono: but what it is and why even a short time in it can make a big difference for many issues :yes: It's also why I believe there is sooo many with the diabetes and various forms of fatty liver disease PLUS why most doctors and studies are wrong :angel:
For realz :yes: also just 'cuz ketosis for some can be difficult there are always cheats :yes: Cheats are neber as doog as the real thang BUT they is easy and you can git some benefits without really werken at it AND when you unerstanz how thangs werk you can use them for REAL cheats :muaha: Srsly iffen ya wants to has a "cheat day" and carb up you can use the cheats to not lose ketosis 8)
Also it takes ~3 months to srsly effect an A1C but the thang to unerstanz is that A1C is a relative measure of ones glucose level over that time metformin {aka glucophage} tries to reduce that but the thang is so does ketosis and failing that so does β-hydroxybutyrate aka ketosis in a bottle.
No it's not a great idea to do this for long periods of time BUT iffen you go carnivore for 2 or 3 days ... which is purty easy ... THEN :egg: tend the ketotic state artificially by a day or two that's enough to lower A1C in test results :muaha:
Anywho keep in mind even just periodically :bump: ing nitric oxide levelz with spirulina is a BIG plus ... iffen a persons NO levelz are generally zero or very low a periodic :bump: is a big help to vaso elasticity :thumbs:
In other wurdz eberythang that helps Helps :angel:

The worst thangs are sarcopenia {age related muskle loss }, osteoperosis AND of course any of the age related :brain: issues. This is literally why I researched this ffuts :angel: Has I mentioined Red/Infrared Light therapy :whistle:
Anywho I gotted dad on the photobiomodulation bandwagon when his dermatologist told him his skin was thin and now he does a full body :butt: nekkid light bath twice a week ~20min each. AND he noticed his eyes were getting better too :chuckle:
Oh right durt momma and ZA ... ya cannot force them to does anythin :nono: so ya has to show them, entice them with the potential, make it easy for them to try and hope it takes :yes: It took dad a little over 5 years to use the light system I gotted him and nealy 15 afores he'd use colloidal silver BUT he gotted there :angel:
Did I mention I gotted Dad 12 or 13 :scratch: bottles of gummies to address all of his nutritional deficiencies with the no :cow: or pork thang :angel:
He cannot take BIG pills OR too many at one time so kept neglecting important thangs like Calcium :gaah: ya needz 1.2g per day and he refuses to drink milk, eat :cheese: or anythin and Calcium Carbonate requires ~3g which is way WAY too muches and too big a pill :wall: So I get him the gummies 8) along with a magnesium gummy PLUS gummy D3 +K2 and about 8 more gummies. I then put them in a quarter cup sized plastic container and he eats one multi-gummy dose a day like candy :yesss:
I gotted a doog Zinc gummy but there really isn't a Copper gummy :no: and you wouldn't want to take them together neether :hmm2: So I boughted a 99.999% pure copper electrode and crafted him a
Anywho, the point is there's always sumthin more you can try :yes: THEY don't need to does it right away but anythin on the PLUS side helps so just keep trying :yes:
I basically gotted dad eating all his missing nutrients as supplements and in addition to endless kale daze :no: I figured out how to git him to eat ~1lb of ground :turkey: per week :thumbs: I'm there atleast twice per week kaling :pullhair: and I create curries, soups, stir fry, etc. that can go in the freezer. So while it seems like I'mjust making sure he has 3 or 4 easy mealz they are also :turkey: infused nutritional :bump: s 8)
Now I'm werken on getting him to accept more of my biohacking ffuts but so far sooo doog :thumbs:
Back to durt momma ... you should really has a look at ketosis ... not just the diet :nono: but what it is and why even a short time in it can make a big difference for many issues :yes: It's also why I believe there is sooo many with the diabetes and various forms of fatty liver disease PLUS why most doctors and studies are wrong :angel:
For realz :yes: also just 'cuz ketosis for some can be difficult there are always cheats :yes: Cheats are neber as doog as the real thang BUT they is easy and you can git some benefits without really werken at it AND when you unerstanz how thangs werk you can use them for REAL cheats :muaha: Srsly iffen ya wants to has a "cheat day" and carb up you can use the cheats to not lose ketosis 8)
Also it takes ~3 months to srsly effect an A1C but the thang to unerstanz is that A1C is a relative measure of ones glucose level over that time metformin {aka glucophage} tries to reduce that but the thang is so does ketosis and failing that so does β-hydroxybutyrate aka ketosis in a bottle.
No it's not a great idea to do this for long periods of time BUT iffen you go carnivore for 2 or 3 days ... which is purty easy ... THEN :egg: tend the ketotic state artificially by a day or two that's enough to lower A1C in test results :muaha:
Anywho keep in mind even just periodically :bump: ing nitric oxide levelz with spirulina is a BIG plus ... iffen a persons NO levelz are generally zero or very low a periodic :bump: is a big help to vaso elasticity :thumbs:
In other wurdz eberythang that helps Helps :angel:

Everything that helps helps. :righton: :clap:
And this: and nealy 15 afores he'd use colloidal silver BUT he gotted there :angel:
So your dad is slower than ME! :happydance: :bsl:
And yeah, I hears/reads it all. :yes: Short on time cuz we gotta go mow then to Martin & :frantic: :rofl:
But CARRINGTON! :faint: SUDDENLY the name has come to mind & I've read nothing about the :sun: spot.
I had a second cousin named Max Carrington...and there is a WNBA player with the same last name.
Coinkidink? :no:
So yesterday we went to the dermatologist to basically say :bye: see ya later, hopefully not. :yes:
B has agreed to see Kirsten & get those calcium & D3 & whatnots :check: ed (I gots it copied, just not in my :brain: )
I also looked at Amazon at no-oil D3s & found there aren't a lot. :nonono: Even the leading powdered has oil! :faint:
But I noted a couple & was gonna look more laters.
Gotta :run: now. It's getting hotter & hotter. :bliss: And crazy :blowme: It's oh so tropical. :wubsigh:

:chuckle: nah :hysterical: nobody is that slow :therethere:

It just took 15 years until he gotted a minor eye infection in both eyes {from allergies} and I put :cs: in only one eye ... then he asked for it to be done in the other eye an hour or two later :chuckle: THAT's when Neo Dad started to beleeb :om:
Coinkidink :yes: Carrington isn't all that uncommon as a name :nono: as a semi-whurled destroying disaster though it ... mostly ... is :yes:
Definitely git the D3 levelz :check: ed though you should really also has a journal timeline with what biologics he took when and their rate of effectiveness. Then go research them and relate them to the interleukin they mess with :yes: PLUS how long any where viable ... that's doog data :yes:
Also don't git nuthin :buttkick: ... until after he gits his D3 results back and then ONLY iffen his numbers are on the low side ... like under 40ng/ml. Ideally they should be around 65ng/ml.
Also don't git the pressed pillz they is just chalk :yucky: and yer neber surez how much is really in them thangs :nono: What you will want assuming the test shows low D3 is low is sumthin likes ... BULKSUPPLEMENTS.COM Vitamin D3 Powder 250g (https://amzn.to/3NSxqQo). The rated dosage is 50mg of powder which contains 125mcg of Cholecalciferol which equates with 5000 IU. Iffen you want to use 30,000 IU ya needz 6x50mg or 300mg. This means a 250g {8oz -ish} container is doog for over 800 doses prolly more than ya needz to figurez thangs out.
Oh and you'll also need a doog scale :therethere:

I has both of these ... tech :nickel: ly iffen you dose out the vit.D one :boop: at a time the 2nd would be better BUT the 1st would werk too though with more variability between doses.
GDEALER Food Scale, 0.001oz/0.01g (https://amzn.to/3XGPksz) <= Amazon link
Smart Weigh GEM20-20g x 0.001 grams (https://amzn.to/3NWmPnu) <= Amazon link
On a larger scale like a type 0 gel capper the first one is poifect :blonde: It's also vastly more useable, don't require calibration, can hold more and is what I use eberyday for :coffee: Yes :yes: I weighs my coffee ... eberyone should :buttkick:
Anywho I use the 2nd one for small amounts {less than 20g including the container/weighing paper} where I also need high accuracy like for instance one 5000 IU dose of 50mg is doable on the first scale BUT could has up to a 20% variance :no: However, at 300mg it's not really an issue BUT it's just sumthin to thinxz about when you werk out dosing and how ya is gonna does it :angel: PLUS there are some thangs where ya needz 2mg or 3mg and the first one is useless for that :drama:
K so for the past couple of decades or more siguie theory beleebs the vast majority of problems begin Du Duh DUNN in the liver :horror: You may have picked up on this iffen ya noticed one of the few thangs I does take on the regular is siguie brand silymarin ... k fine it's not siguie brand per se it's Pure Bulk milk thistle extract which is 80% silymarin.
In any event current :rimshot: siguie theory and surprisingly others now too :faint: believe that sugar and ultra processed carbs eaten all the time kind of overwhelm the liver eventually producing fat around the liver. The thang is this is purty nermal and is how the liver was designed to function :yes: BUT when gone too far it's referred to as Fatty Liver Disease and there is an alcoholic and nonalcoholic version.
Anywho my thoughts are that a proper sugar spike should occur and be done with in roughly 4 to 6 hours. Sure there's some trailing residue and variation with type of doof and :egg: sercise etc. ... still that's roughly the correct time :yes:
So here's the thang, yer body should use the majority of the sugar right away, :egg: tra gits stored around the liver as glycogen for later use. The kicker is "sugar" is like the nitro of doof fuels :flex: ... it burns HOT and runs the engine fast :thumbs: ... BUT it takes a heavy toll which is why you use it as a booster when you needz it and NOT as the nermal fuel :nono:
In a car the toll is warping and cracking of the engine, in the body it's inflammation and lots of Reactive Oxygen Species {ROS} and overtime immune system overload and autoimmune diseases emerge :no:
Anywho my main thought is that one way or another yer liver should use up ALL of the days carbs by the time you wake up AND be back in keto mode :yes:
From an evolutionary perspective a hooman should be in keto mode purty muches ALL of the time 'cept sprang/summer when carbs/sugar is more abundant as fruit and starchy vegetation. This is when the energy storing systems 'should' have evolved as a means to store energy for fall/wynter ... aka gaining wynter weight :angel:
Regardless, the fatty liver concept is one reason I recommend oodles of vit.C and antioxidation doof to soak up them ROS's but also why people should not just dismiss keto or even carnivore diets as fads and unhealthy :nono:
Research is showing numerous often miraculous benefits :yes:
Of course in the end it all ties in with the mitochondria and autophagy/mitophagy so as always ... has I mentioned Red/Infrared pHotobiomodulation? :whistle: and of course for the more biohacking adventurous types methylene blue and vit.C overdosing :thumbs:
As mentioned affores I beleeb hoomans should has an all keto season {generally wynter} followed by mostly keto sprang/fall. Summer should has plenty of non-keto BUT not so muches that you wake up still in glycolysis mode :horror: unless of course you are bulking up for wynter :flex: And of course the length of these seasons should be related back to yer key genetic makeup ... fer instance Northern European longer wynters and shorter summers vs equtorial genetics would be vice versa. :oz:

:ura: :sun: :daisy: should last ALL week :bliss: :cheer:
(http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dance2.gif)
Wellz kale Friday was nearly Fried day with the :heat: but I ended up making a lentil based curry with kale and fresh cod. It's no black sea bass but is a doog (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) :thumbs: I put some in with the curry but the big pot is meant to last a few daze and the cod wont reheat so doog :unthumbs: So I also did a simple (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) fry with salt 'n pepper 'cuz that way dad could just pour some hot curry over it or eat however :wiggle:
Yesterday {caturday} siguie manor was overrun by dang tourists :fist: a la tejas island style :windy: no doubt 'cuz over the hill it was freaken HOT 95°F :faint: There's still a heat advisory for today but it's 10°F cooler :sofa: Monday kale is gonna be skeery too with 82°F weather :no: Atleast here now is 61°F :om:
Let's seez where was we :hmm2: ... wellz :scratch: for the most part that IS the siguie theories on doof :yes: ... now a neat thang about keto is that with low levels of insulin kidneys let more electrolytes flow through :bye: This appears to be the cause of what many refer to as "keto flu" ... as you may recallz from previous episodes ... I makes my own water 8) and I add the mineralz needed PLUS make the water taste way better :matt: ... also there is water for :coffee: as well as water for just drinking and of course the ffuts for cooking. Yes, this is why it's easier for me to start with distilled water :angel: Incidentally it also makes washing a car in nigh eternal drought a lot easier :yes:
Oh and a simple cheat for those NOT in ketosis and who does not want to goes there necessarily ... MCT oil :yes: I has the C8 and C10 mix PLUS the C8 only in a powdered form... coconut oil is fine :yes: but only 15% +/-5% is MCT.
Here's the thang ... does ya recallz how the liver has speeshul mitochondria ... well so does the :brain: in fact the :brain: prefers ketones over glucose. As it turns out C8 and C10 triglycerides have speeshul priority in the gut and the lipase enzyme werks espeeshully well and prioritizes mobilization into the liver mostly 'cuz the hydrolyzed triglycerides produce hydropHilic C8 carboxylic acids that don't need nuthin to travel in the blood :suck: and once they git to the liver :boom: the ketonization happens espeeshully quick.
There are also C6 and C12 MCTs but the C8 and C10 are in the Goldilocks zone for the :brain:
All together even without being in ketosis it's quite easy to energize the :brain: :electrocute: Also this means the :brain: gits to function on two fuel sources AND did I mention the :brain: prefers ketones :angel:
As it turns out this has additional benefits and many of the age related :brain: diseases are greatly improved iffen not cured with sufficient ketones. There is also a lot of new research on this topic too :yes:
Also there's sumthin referred to as ketosis in a bottle ... it's real :yes: and I has the Magnesium β-Hydroxybutyrate version there's also a Calcium and I believe Sodium/Potassium :scratch: The β-Hydroxybutyrate is what gits converted into ketone bodies when a person is in ketosis BUT taken as a supplement is quickly absorbed and converted by the kidneys.
It's very short lived and only lasts 3 or 4 hours BUT during that time you git all of the benefits of being in ketosis :yes: Not that this is very useful employed that way :sigh: However, taken with a high carb/sugar meal it can reduce/prevent losing the ketotic state AND will help reset the body back.
That said some other useful properties of the ffuts is that it can help reduce insulin resistance and lower carb based inflammation PLUS it can make you feelz full longer or atleast not as hungry once the carb fuel runs out :oz: Amemberz the body prioritizes sugar/carbs but in general prefers running on ketones :angel:
K that's the basic overview of my dietary beliefs :om: There's also some evidence that C8 MCT's have a positive effect on the :brain: without ketonizing BUT regardless that's more or less where the easy ffuts ends :yes: Autophagy/mitophagy and pHotobiomodulation :bump: all of these thangs up a couple of notches as well as oxygen therapies :thumbs: saunas and also cold therapy {think Wim Hof} :shiver:
K last thang ... just my opinion ... there's a lot of talk about ketosis vs carnivore vs nermal glycolysis ... what is better/healthier and or just the Mediterranean diet. They is ALL doog :yes: depending of course on what ails ya. Iffen it's nuthin then the Med diet for the win :cheer: Iffen ya want to lose weight then sure keto/carnivore and the whole keto adaptation process BUT it's hard ... just a few grams of carbs can :boom: yer "fat adaptation" :no: The thang is you can git ketosis back in as little as 12 hours {generally 24h} ... you may has lost the "adaptation" but that's only a problem iffen you insist on losing more weight. Personally I just likes noesing which state I'm in and picking and choosing what I likes. Though I really does recommend the MCT for :brain: doof :om:

:yawn: :coffee:
yeah no vakay for the wicked :sigh:
Oh and continuing ... :kickcan: ... ketosis doesn't mean automagical autophagy :nono: ... it's more like mooving in the right direction BUT not quite there. Autophagy is a whole different soapbox lecture :blah: :blah: :blah: but in general it is reached after the body is "stressed" in particular ways ... here basically nigh starvation or short fasts :yes: In LCHF diets this can basically be accomplished by reducing the protein levelz though typically just fasting for 1 to 3 days is the nermal.
K so finally here's the current :rimshot: siguie unerstandingz :om: There is a lot of food hype about how one diet is better than another and plenty of conflicting literature to be able to "scientifically validate" any opinion no matter how stoopid. So here's the thang the hooman body has 2 engines ... engine #1 is fueled by carbs/sugar while engine #2 is fueled by oil {aka triglycerides}, there is an apparent belief that you can only has one of these working at any given time. This is not strictly true :nono: engine #1 has a faster, water/blood soluble fuel source so when the fuel is available that's what is used. The #2 engine runs on triglycerides which is easier to turn into fat storage when not needed. This is why #1 runs when carbs are available and #2 runs only when that fuel runs out OR more energy is needed.
:egg: cess carbs can be stored in and around the liver as glycogen so iffen you eat enough carbs they can be stored and fuel engine #1 24/7/365.
The problem is that engine #1 is the more highly oxidative engine which leaves more "pollution" that needs cleaning up. This only becomes a problem iffen the liver and engine #1 never git a rest.
Engine #2 is less "polluting" and happily runs off stored fat or oil in the diet BUT will only turn on when engine #1 runs low on fuel.
The point here is there is no magic to turning #2 on though insulin resistance, fatty liver issues, and #2 never being used for a while can make starting a bit of a challenge. In a healthy individual both engines should be working as a team taking turns and supporting the other :angel:
Also yes engine #2 should be the main system with engine #1 kicking in on at intervals as needed :om: Anywho both engines can turn on or off as needed in a 24h period. Iffen ones goal is to lose fat run #2 and keep your diets oil level relatively low so that body fat becomes the preferred fuel source. Iffen you just want to maintain a healthy body running both engines alternately is fine :thumbs:
FYI: The autophagy occurring after "stress" particularly in the ketotic state strongly suggests ... in my opinion ... that hoomanz evolved to be in a ketotic state during wynter months with "starvation" or food scarcity being a nermal occurrence which was a time to clean eberythang out and git ready for a new season :flex:
yeah no vakay for the wicked :sigh:
Oh and continuing ... :kickcan: ... ketosis doesn't mean automagical autophagy :nono: ... it's more like mooving in the right direction BUT not quite there. Autophagy is a whole different soapbox lecture :blah: :blah: :blah: but in general it is reached after the body is "stressed" in particular ways ... here basically nigh starvation or short fasts :yes: In LCHF diets this can basically be accomplished by reducing the protein levelz though typically just fasting for 1 to 3 days is the nermal.
K so finally here's the current :rimshot: siguie unerstandingz :om: There is a lot of food hype about how one diet is better than another and plenty of conflicting literature to be able to "scientifically validate" any opinion no matter how stoopid. So here's the thang the hooman body has 2 engines ... engine #1 is fueled by carbs/sugar while engine #2 is fueled by oil {aka triglycerides}, there is an apparent belief that you can only has one of these working at any given time. This is not strictly true :nono: engine #1 has a faster, water/blood soluble fuel source so when the fuel is available that's what is used. The #2 engine runs on triglycerides which is easier to turn into fat storage when not needed. This is why #1 runs when carbs are available and #2 runs only when that fuel runs out OR more energy is needed.
:egg: cess carbs can be stored in and around the liver as glycogen so iffen you eat enough carbs they can be stored and fuel engine #1 24/7/365.
The problem is that engine #1 is the more highly oxidative engine which leaves more "pollution" that needs cleaning up. This only becomes a problem iffen the liver and engine #1 never git a rest.

:wave:
K so where'z was we :scratch:
Oh yeah autophagy ... there are atleast 3 different types but they all end with garage sale cell items being delivered to lysosomes for destructive degradation :boom: Mitophagy is actually part of Macroautophagy the most studied type and mostly referred to as just "autophagy" the other two types are microautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy.
The thang about autophagy is that it generally begins during calorie deprivation in the 24 to 48h range and the two most notable signs are a :bump: in ketone bodies and most significantly a reduction in appetite this is why when fasting you often SUDDENLY stop feeling hungry after the first day.
The neat thang about autophagy is that it's basically a thorough house cleaning in the bodies cells with one of the main benefits being cognitive improvements though this may mostly be due to the :brain: enjoying the inevitable ketone body buffet :angel:
So here's the kicker ... you do not actually "need" ketosis or calorie restriction for autophagy to take place :nono: It actually happens all the time and especially when you sleep :yes: The difference is how much time and effort the body devotes to it ... in a ketotic calorie restricted state the body is ALL IN :thumbs: other times it's just doing what it can as needed ... sort of like cleaning only the frying pan and letting the dishes build up :ashamed: A thorough sprang cleaning is doog ebery once ina while :yes: and it's likely best end of wynter just afores sprang OR as needed :oz:
The thang about autophagy is it recycles what it can and cleans up the body PLUS imposes significant controls on the immune system by modulating the immune cells ... so finally ...
And :boom: ... Thymic Selection :yesss: For those who may not noes the Thymus gland is the thang that decides what should be kilt :kilt: ... aka the thang that decides you now has an autoimmune disease :whistle:
So will autophagic house cleaning reset the thymic decision to attack it's own body parts? :scratch: in many cases yes :yes: So far mostly type 2 diabetes espeeshully those just gettin there but growing evidence shows other autoimmune diseases including MS "may" be cured in this manner BUT it's still early daze so no definitive answers BUT this is definitely a doog thang and many non-autoimmune diseases have shown amazing responses including numerous cancers :yes:
AND done :yesss:
Coming ... soon ... pHotobiomodulation ... did I mention red/infrared light :bump: s autophagy and energizes :electrocute: mitochondria :whistle:

Quote from: annualreviewsAutophagy and the Immune System
Abstract
Stressors ranging from nutrient deprivation to immune signaling can induce the degradation of cytoplasmic material by a process known as autophagy. Increasingly, research on autophagy has begun to focus on its role in inflammation and the immune response. Autophagy acts as an immune effector that mediates pathogen clearance. The roles of autophagy bridge both the innate and adaptive immune systems and include functions in thymic selection, antigen presentation, promotion of lymphocyte homeostasis and survival, and regulation of cytokine production. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms by which autophagy is regulated, as well as the functions of autophagy and autophagy proteins in immunity and inflammation.

And :boom: ... Thymic Selection :yesss: For those who may not noes the Thymus gland is the thang that decides what should be kilt :kilt: ... aka the thang that decides you now has an autoimmune disease :whistle:
So will autophagic house cleaning reset the thymic decision to attack it's own body parts? :scratch: in many cases yes :yes: So far mostly type 2 diabetes espeeshully those just gettin there but growing evidence shows other autoimmune diseases including MS "may" be cured in this manner BUT it's still early daze so no definitive answers BUT this is definitely a doog thang and many non-autoimmune diseases have shown amazing responses including numerous cancers :yes:

The dang (https://psifly.com/cr/seasons/newyear/shoot.gif) were going off all night ... :zzz:
Anywho were was we :scratch: ... oh yeah the thymus ffuts ... I recommend watching the 12min youtube video You Are Immune Against Every Disease (https://youtu.be/LmpuerlbJu0) ... it's entertaining AND way WAY better at asplaining the basics than moi :drama: Srsly :yes: you'd be surprised how many peoplez simply accept a statement like "you has autoimmune disease X yer body is attacking itself" without even asking why or atleast why now :whistle:
:secret: it's the thymus :angel:
Iffen ya watches the moobie the abstract blurb about "... autophagy bridge both the innate and adaptive immune systems ..." makes more sensicalz :yes: Also the role of the thymus and it's slooow downhill roll from puberty ... aka age related thymic involution :drama:
SO ... :whatever: ... what doof ffuts :bump: the thymus function ... doog question :yes: Vit.C, Zinc, and B6 though honestly ya should :bump: all the B vitamiz :oz: :secret: espeeshully nacin :whistle: And yes coinkadinkilly they is the ones I keep mentioning :whistle:
Oh and the cytokine thang FYI them interleukin numberz that B's biologics block/inhibit/tweak ... they is ALL cytokines :yes:
K now the thymus is part of the Primary lymphoid organs along with bone marrow and the Secondary lymphoid organs are less well defined but include tonsils, spleen, and other tissues I fergets :scratch: Anywho photobiomodulation helps the thymus regenerate and apparently reverses thymic involution PLUS lots of other doog ffuts 8)

Let's seez where was we :hmm2:
:spitcoffee:
:book: :popcorn: :share: :popcorn: :share:
I'm still digesting... Get it? Doof pun. :pie:
Nobody slow as me :hysterical: but boy oh boy I been moving lately. :frantic: :wiggle: :run: :splat:
B got back to work yesterday & I gotted some much overdue house cleaning done. Today, I've mowed.
I read every single word & will re-read later. The Engine 1 & Engine 2 esplanations made me wonder if that is what the intermittent fasting is apposta be all about? :scratch:
So my initiation into autoimmunity came in February 1984. A time of great stress. :yes: I had just dropped out of college, was back at home & working 2 jobs. Dad confessed to having an affair & I was engaged to be married in August. I had been drinking a lot (in college & before) & sustaining on Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, crackers & chocolate soft serve and :fries: Oh & :smokes: & :coffee:
It hit me like :boom: We thought it was the flu but it didn't go away for 12 years. :faint: Low-grade fever, deep leg pain, weakness, tiredness. And as I've mentioned before a couple rounds of aan Epstein Barr herb kit from Hannah's Herbs as well as 8-12K mg vit C and a handful of B-Complex was what began turning me around, physically. Reading most every :book: in the library in 100-199 section is what began turning me around mentally/spiritually'emotionally.
https://uplift.love/thymus-the-seat-of-the-human-soul/
I was 'soul-sick' as well as physically unwell cuz I hated myself for blowing off college. If it hadn't been for B there's no telling how my story would have ended cuz he was the only thing I valued at that time. I was headed down a very dark road when I dropped out... I woulda been a wasted jazz musician or a drugged out groupie (Junior Walker invited me to his room after the show :nonono: ...I was approached about being a 'Bunny Girl' for a limo service...I was offered drinks & drugs on many an occasion...
but :b: was always there, waiting for me to come home. When he graduated & left Toledo...I had to drop out to save my life.
Point is...all that is water under the bridge & no longer Who I Am but it was a major contributing factor, along with too much beer & :carp: y eating & of course, stress. Literally, & figuratively, my body attacked itself. :wall: Much like that. :chuckle:
K...gonna watch that video now, tho I think you did an excellent boj of esplaining. :righton:
Happy July! :rstars:
And thanks for the calcium link. :yes: B had a bit of a setback rover vacay. It was 2 weeks after the Father's Day Food Bender but I also think it was the :heat: that triggered him tho he doesn't want to admit. Arrhythmia & moderately high BP...(140-160 range)
He was just pushing himself too hard cuz he wanted to & tho 'he' was enjoying the heat, his cardiovasculars said "Enough".
At least that's my theory. :wiggle: He was just frustrated, thinks he oughta be 'better'. I esplained that it took a long, long time for him to reach the point he did & it would take a bit more time for it to dissipate. I also had to remind him that his diet is not nearly as complicit as he thinks so if he wants to speed up progress then he's gotta be more strict. :chuckle:

QuoteThe energetic thymus
From a holistic perspective, there is more to human health than just biological interactions. We are energy, our physical bodies included. Energetically, the thymus is linked to the higher heart chakra, which is often described as "seat of the soul". It represents the transpersonal aspect of the heart, that is, unconditional divine love.
Unconditional love is free of ego, therefore a healthy higher heart facilitates spiritual growth and deep inner transformation.

So you've changed your tune? :eip:
Cuz when I was intermittent fasting to try & lose menopause weight you were like :blah: :whatever: :blah: :no:
:rofl:
S'ok. I change my tune multiple times a day. :wiggle:
But what about Dr McDougall, who says humans are "starchivores"?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQH9tzpOgZM
I guess that's 'right', too. :chuckle:
I love it when everything & everyone is 'right'. :happydance:
B sees the cardiologist next week & I'm :uhoh: that his cholesterol has jumped. Not that I care, but the doctor seemingly does (or thinks he's supposed to :roll: )... and the doc is gonna try & get him back on the statin. I still cannot understand why B melts into a little kid who does exactly whatever the doctor says when he gets in that room. :roll: One would think that as much as he's lived with me & Jacki he would be different. :crazyeyes:
Anyway...gotta water & get groceries. :wiggle: Tho it seems 'big rain' may be headed in this weekend. :umbrella:
But my potted :flower: can't wait. I'll count the pots as I water... :scared: ...

"So you've changed your tune? :eip:
Cuz when I was intermittent fasting to try & lose menopause weight you were like :blah: :whatever: :blah: :no: "
Nope :nono: same tune :choir:
Yer concept of intermittent fasting equated to skipping breakfast :woe:
"But what about Dr McDougall, who says humans are "starchivores"?"
That's correct too :yes: Engine #1 is purely a carb fueled engine and iffen you want to run on just that you can BUT you need to tune and tweak the fuel supply based on long, medium and short grain starches PLUS add additives in the way of fiber and bulking items in order to flip the satiety switch but perfectly doable :yes:
In fact the majority of "healthy" americanz and even Okinawan Japanese are in this category :thumbs:
The hooman body is by nature :egg: tremely adaptable and 'can' either become "carb adapted" or "fat adapted" iffen that's all the body is getting for long periods of time is one or the other :yes:
A carb/sugar adaptation is best for quick shorter duration energy bursts while keto/fat adaptation is best for endurance type ffuts like marathon running BUT even then gluconeogenesis means even fat adapted peoplez will make glucose to run certain body bits that need it :yes: Also glucogon {~2000 calries worth} are stored in the muskles ... this is not the same as the glucogon stored around the liver :nono:
I noes yer :wheee: :rbrain: is easily confuzeded :therethere: but don't look at a diet by its name or supposed benefits :nonono: Take the protocol and think about the effect on the body based on what has been well established THEN consider the effects on the people the diet is intended for :angel:
For instance currently :rimshot: standard "safe" levelz of glucose in the blood :suck: for "healthy" individuals is between 70 and 99 mg/dL and in general for Americans that number increases with age and is considered healthy aging. In the 1950's the low number was 60 mg/dL and has been raised based on standard population data. Iffen yer body is keto/fat adapted {that's adapted and not just being in keto for the first time nor being diabetic} your blood glucose numbers should be in the 50 to 65-ish mg/dL range for a "healthy" individual and no that number does not change muches with age :nono: It's also a number that would freak out diabetics :frantic: as far too low BUT that's because they are engine #1 dependent AND carb adapted ... keto diab etics are different wurmz can :yes:
Another thang to noes is that "healthy" people {not in keto but not insulin resistant neether :nono: } have very different biological responses to relatively short periods of fasting.
The point ... most americanz {prolly most developed country peoplez} develop some level of insulin resistance due to an overabundance of sugar/carbs. Most but not all :nono: and a little insulin resistance wont killz you :nono: ... prolly :dunno: As you age there are tons of other thangs like :smokes: & :wine:
As for the starchivore thang ... iffen that's what you beleeb and want then go for it :thumbs: Tech :nickel: ly that's what you is doesing on the Dr.E protocol with the no oil :nono: Ya seez that's why I was so fascinated with his protocol ... well that and the 90-ish people with :egg: treme CAD not dying. His protocol, nearly guaranteez an early ketotic phase where body fat melts away but with no meat or oil the body is forced to moove back to engine #1 BUT until the :blob: and :mushrooms: git sorted out without processed carbs the body has to essentially run on idle.
K here's the thang Autophagy is well established in a keto state and that old {now} study about mice living 30% longer on a calorie restricted diet ... yeah that's autophagy :yes: But in hoomanz I am not aware of any studies of WTFPB dieters in regards to autophagy :nono: Then I sawed Dr.E's protocol and thunked what if CAD was reversible from a ... wait for it ... glycolytic autophagic pathway :faint:
Fer realz :yes: there's a sadistical anomaly when you look at the number of people helped by his protocol compared to those following something similar but slightly less strict.
Oh and aforez I fergetz ... one of the reasons for the whole :blah: :blah: engine one engine two etc. was for durt momma's A1C and the possibility of getting her and ZA on a short keto/carnivore thang :angel:
Going from insulin resistant to a keto lifestyle is really hard :no: but going carnivore { :secret: which is keto } for a week or two is easy :peas: y :yes: PLUS has tons of benefits :angel:
FYI: one of the perks of keto/carnivore is you really don't git hungry :nono: and it's easy to skip eating for a day ... I'm not saying durt momma should skip eating :nono: just that it's a lot easier than people thinxz when on keto vs carbing :oz:
Cuz when I was intermittent fasting to try & lose menopause weight you were like :blah: :whatever: :blah: :no: "
Nope :nono: same tune :choir:
Yer concept of intermittent fasting equated to skipping breakfast :woe:
"But what about Dr McDougall, who says humans are "starchivores"?"
That's correct too :yes: Engine #1 is purely a carb fueled engine and iffen you want to run on just that you can BUT you need to tune and tweak the fuel supply based on long, medium and short grain starches PLUS add additives in the way of fiber and bulking items in order to flip the satiety switch but perfectly doable :yes:
In fact the majority of "healthy" americanz and even Okinawan Japanese are in this category :thumbs:
The hooman body is by nature :egg: tremely adaptable and 'can' either become "carb adapted" or "fat adapted" iffen that's all the body is getting for long periods of time is one or the other :yes:
A carb/sugar adaptation is best for quick shorter duration energy bursts while keto/fat adaptation is best for endurance type ffuts like marathon running BUT even then gluconeogenesis means even fat adapted peoplez will make glucose to run certain body bits that need it :yes: Also glucogon {~2000 calries worth} are stored in the muskles ... this is not the same as the glucogon stored around the liver :nono:
I noes yer :wheee: :rbrain: is easily confuzeded :therethere: but don't look at a diet by its name or supposed benefits :nonono: Take the protocol and think about the effect on the body based on what has been well established THEN consider the effects on the people the diet is intended for :angel:

I'm so glad to provide entertainment for youse. :drama: :pie:
First... :horn: Pandora.... you getted lots of rain? :umbrella:
Next... diets schmiets. :chuckle: We only did the Pogo cuz he was in a bad way & had no insurance. It was worth a shot...& in hindsight was a perfect preamble to the current lifestyle. And the intermittent fasting was a fad :rofl: A short-lived thang tho I most always go 12-14 hours without eating cuz I am not a nighttime snacker. :nonono:
I can be a starchivore. :cheer: :rofl: Seriously tho, I have slooooowly learned what my body does & does not like or need. :yes:
B is a bit slower to the table. :chuckle: He still thinks he 'needs' Whoppers or double cheeseburgers or fried foods. :no:
He has always been a junk food baby. I have always tried to eat clean & healthier.
Mom & ZA ain't gonna does it. :nonono: I've learned that Mom is a very narrow eater. She eats the same things over & over with little variation. She told me this morning she had a 3 pound bag of frozen blueberries that I oughta take before they get stale.
I says, "Just eat them, Mom! A little bowl full with breakfast, a bowl at night...whenever however just eat them.". She says staunchly, "Nope. I just won't.". K then. :hysterical: And ZA is just the opposite, eating anything & everything & going with each new fad. For awhile she was putting chia seeds on literally everything...carrying them in her purse. For awhile it was curry powder...on everything. And she gets cravings for crazy ffuts from out of the blue & literally can't stop thinking about it til she gets it. Lately it's baklava. We prolly gonna hafta go to Jackson soon...just for the baklava. :rofl:
They ARE walking tho. :cheer: Walking the cemetery. :hysterical: I guess there are numerous, older peoples who walk the big cemetery so it's also social hour. :yes:
We gonna keep on keeping on. :eip: :wig: :wiggle: :gle: But I told them both I am reining in the sugar. :yes: I gave them a little (when B was getting skinny) & they now just want more & more & more. :woe: It's not too bad but I see the signs of early addiction. :woe:
Elsewise.... It's freaking beautiful here! :wubsigh: And yes, I water with the hose & all the pots are congregated so that it's simple. Many of them are sitting in gardens so when I run the sprinkler (I noes...dirty word in Callyfornya :sealed: ) the pots get watered, too. :yes: Many of them are on the veranda & we always has a full watering can handy so they get watered as needed.
I spend a LOT of time on the veranda now. :wub: Hanging with the hummingbirds (we have BABIES!) and bigger birds & blossoms & faerie folk. It smells like :cloud9: out there. :)

I know! How bout I just listen to my body? :throwburger: :spitcoffee:
Feels like a full circle moment for sure. :chuckle:
So... I been learning about gram negative rods. :eek: Why, you ask?
Seems widdle cousin Matthew (21 now) has just had them found in his bloodstream. :faint:
He had a dental procedure 2-3 weeks ago...long enough for 2 rounds of antibiotics... and had continued pain but most interestingly a fever of around 102 pretty much every morning. Loss of energy, fatigue, all that doog ffuts.
So after 2 or 3 'providers' & an on-vacay doctor they took him to the ER last night where they deemed him "fine" & sent him home.
But this morning he gotted a call & was told to pack his things & come back to the hospital for admittance asap.
That's all I noes so far. But after reading, it seems quite auspicious that they caught it. :gheart:
His immune system has to be :carp: cuz he's been on antibiotics more than he's been off them for most of his life. Starting with recurrent ear infections...later sinus infections...plus he catches every thing that circulates. & usually winds up with an antibiotic (nurse practioner providers :roll: ). Combine that with a horrible diet & 100+ extra pounds + a resistant bacterium & :boom:

Sounds like a dentist didn't warsh his hands :therethere:

Most dentally thangs use Augmentin which is Amoxicillin with Clindamycin a beta-lactamase inhibitor which is supposed to help reduce the odds of resistance. But sounds like he needz to :buttkick: all of the penicillin-ish antibiotics :sigh:
FYI: colloidal silver :cs: improves antibiotic effects by up to 1000 timez :yes: and is easy :peas: y to swish around in the mouth :whistle: Though yeah a little late now ya don't want to give it to someone taking the more :egg: otic antibiotics 'cuz silver is purty dang reactive :sigh:

Your minions are smate! :check:
You noes we have long said that you are way way way more :woo: than you want to believe.
Cuz you need PROOF! :woe:
And that's what makes me unsighency. I don't like the work of proving. I hated hasing to show my work in math problems. :gaah:
It really slowed me down. :rofl:
Anyway... cardiologist :yes: :sigh: :whatever:
Soon...ish...gonna get him in to see Kirsten & she will eagerly & interestedly help with any & all testing & ffutses we want. :yes:
She's the P.A....the triathelete....and very much believes in the power of doof as medicine/fuel. I noes she was paleo at one time...whilst training...dunno if she still is or not. She only works 2 days a week & it's a matter of B taking the time to goes...
I does understand the cardiologist way of assessing merely by symptoms but... iffin someone, anyone, woulda done more than the cursory 20 second ekg, they likely woulda found the problem 2+ years before it was found.
So I forgotted to mention but curiously, along with that last biggie sunspot ejaculation :chuckle: we had many hours of internetlosness. :no:

Happy Thurzdaze!!! :rstars: I am sitting next to a nearly full bloom jasmine plant & do not want to get up. Ever. :wubsigh: :flowerom:

Forgot to mention that Matthew has salmonella. :eek:
They are prolly gonna send him home with home health coming to administer the remaining IV antibiotics.
Now he's thinking it was Mexican restaurant chicken about the same time as dental work.
Also, I hadn't known about the vomiting & diarrhea. :woe: Guess they thunk that was dental-related, too.
But incredibly, the tests proved it is salmonella. :woe: :hail: Sighence.

Of course tons of ffuts :yes: but you need to does them very regularly and just face it yer not gonna :nono: you is in durt mode :yes:

Well, the cardiologist basically said 'keep doin what you're doin, call me if you need me, & see ya in a year.'. :pie:
In a year he wants another stress test. :wiggle: He says that CAD is progressive & most patients would require another stress test & maybe even another cath within 2 years (Thanksgiving is 2 years from cath lab) BUT...becuz B has such minimal symptoms (he was not at all concerned about the arrythmia incidences lest they become lengthy or frequent) he was comfortable waiting another year.
He repeated that he wouldn't recommend trying to stent the 100% clog but does wanna watch cuz the lesser cloggy bits typically progress to more cloggy. I said, but :no: The diet is apposta stop progression & even reverse. He says, "It would be fun to go in & just see what's going on but I can't in good faith use him as a guinea pig.". :chuckle:
If he noted the statinlosness on the chart he didn't say anything. :chuckle:
He is still quite intrigued, not totally disbelieving or discounting, but says he has never seen a patient in which the CAD did not progress. :chuckle: & I knows he doubted our ability to sustain a WTFPB diet. :throwburger: That motivates us to show him somethin he's never before seen. :wiggle:
So.... :popcorn: :share: One more year. :wiggle:
Oh but he did show us his watch (that his kids bought him :chuckle: ) that detects aFib & records the data onto an app. He suggested that B might benefit from somethin like that so he can record the odd incident & share the data with him. :chuckle: I has one in the Amazon cart that's been there for months :chuckle: tho I would need to look again before buying. There are literally hundreds to choose from.
As for Matthew... :dunno: ZA was reading about how rare for salmonella to cross into the bloodsream. :huh:
But as of now, he's home & feeling betterer. :gheart:
I gots 80s hair, Sig! :gaah: :afro: :bsl: And the stylist commented on how incredibly thick it is. :chuckle: I said, "You shoulda seen it before covid.". :rofl: But it is growing back to it's original thickness, waviness & softness.
I just wants my ponytail back. :bawling: But... I am thankful, satisfied & quite 'presentable' as it is. :wiggle:
Thanks. :righton: I noes the hair grow industry is quite....um...populated with miracle grow products & supplements.
It IS growing extra fast which is why I'ze bugging out right now. I just got it trimmed 2 weeks ago & it's already morphed into something else. Another week or 2 & it'll morph into yet another form. :magic:

"Well, the cardiologist basically said 'keep doin what you're doin, call me if you need me, & see ya in a year.'. :pie: "
A year :no: :aaahhh: :wall:
Dang guinea piglos :heart: doktor :hmm: :sigh:
:kickcan:
"He says that CAD is progressive & most patients would require another stress test & maybe even another cath within 2 years ..."
"... the lesser cloggy bits typically progress to more cloggy ..."
Yup that IS the nermal :yes: and based on age, initial state of cloggy, type of clog and lifestyle the rate of cloggification is :egg: tremely predictable. In fact once you start stenting you typically need another ebery 1 or 2 years until the final jenga :horror:
"... . I said, but :no: The diet is apposta stop progression & even reverse."
Yeah about that by any chance did anyone eber point out that the Dr.E's protocol does that but even slight straying from his path dramatically :drama: decreases the possibility and at best greatly prolongs the process? :whistle: Of course there was that one case where someone relatively similar to B's case followed Dr.E's protocol and 18 months later {I thinxz :scratch: } *poof* :boom: no mores 40%-ish blockage :nono:
Just sayin :whistle:
"Oh but he did show us his watch (that his kids bought him :chuckle: ) that detects aFib & records the data onto an app."
Oh wow what a great idea :cheer: ... so has it :bean: 2 years already :faint:
:flyball:
"There are literally hundreds to choose from."
Yeah that's the problem, the technology is trivial enough now that ebery manufacturer is throwing the option in so they can add to their marketing program. The problem is they are not all implemented well ... like the SpO2 options ... some watches can does it easy :peas: y while others can just barely pull it off :unthumbs:
Apple's versions are generally the best BUT also pricey :faint: and generally require a newish iPhone making it even more monies :horror:
I would look at the watches and then :check: youtube for people who actually used the thang for :heart: related reasons OTHER than :egg: sercise :angel: Also make sure it's sumthin B would wear {some are bulky} and check for other useful features like sleep and werkout features :angel:
"As for Matthew... :dunno: ZA was reading about how rare for salmonella to cross into the bloodsream. :huh: "
Yeah it mostly don't which is why just blaming it on bad mexican doof is a tad too convenient :hmm2: Also the way you put it made me thinxz the "pain" was tooth or jaw related which would make more sense for Salmonella typhi. The thang is iffen Mathew had diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues why would the dentist prescribe more antibiotics? :scratch:
Anywho, keep an eye on him :yes: sumthinz not right :nono: From a dentist I'd generally :egg: pect sumthin like Streptococcus :yes: ... from bad mexican doof Salmonella makes the most sensicalz BUT in the blood suggests a type of sepsis where the inflamed gastro bits leaked {or somehow allowed} the Salmonella to burrow through the lining and into the blood :suck:
It happens :yes: pretty rare for Salmonella though ... unless more is goesing on :uhoh: so play helicopter aunt for awhilez :oz:
"It IS growing extra fast which is why I'ze bugging out right now. I just got it trimmed 2 weeks ago & it's already morphed into something else. Another week or 2 & it'll morph into yet another form. :magic: "
Yeah yeah :blah: :blah: ... it's simple kemystery ya don't want to mess with the folicle growth cycles directly so no hormonal tweaks or nuthin which means yer only options are increased blood flow :suck: and or follicle pore cleansing :cleanse:
In other wurdz ya wantz a :horn: rubefacient like peeper oil or menthol, methyl salicylate which are the strong ones :flex: others like lavendar and cedar oil are also doog ... oh and I'm a fan of castor and coconut oils :afro: PLUS you can/should choose a Non-Comedogenic carrier oil if needed :yes: Grap seed oil is doog and cheap and I keep it on hand because it is quite thin/less viscous than thangs like castor oil.
FYI: that thread where I asplained how to make a knockoff Ethique Shampoo Bar ... I've mostly settled on a mix of Shea Butter and Castor oil for the oils and Lavender for the scent :yes:
I'm also a fan of Camellia oil on a wooden comb :thumbs: it's a classic thang for asian hair. The idea is to use an unlacquered wooden comb, and oil the wood with camellia oil, this provides just a touch of oil when you comb your hair. The longer yer hair the more oil you need but I keep my hair relatively short {5cm} :oz:
Camellia oil is best for dry scalp ... mine isn't :nono: but I warsh my hair daily so it's like a scalp moisturizer :afro: and the comb trick gives asian hair the perfect shine plus prevents tangles ... YMMV. :angel:

"It IS growing extra fast which is why I'ze bugging out right now. I just got it trimmed 2 weeks ago & it's already morphed into something else. Another week or 2 & it'll morph into yet another form. :magic: "
Yeah yeah :blah: :blah: ... it's simple kemystery ya don't want to mess with the folicle growth cycles directly so no hormonal tweaks or nuthin which means yer only options are increased blood flow :suck: and or follicle pore cleansing :cleanse:
In other wurdz ya wantz a :horn: rubefacient like peeper oil or menthol, methyl salicylate which are the strong ones :flex: others like lavendar and cedar oil are also doog ... oh and I'm a fan of castor and coconut oils :afro: PLUS you can/should choose a Non-Comedogenic carrier oil if needed :yes: Grap seed oil is doog and cheap and I keep it on hand because it is quite thin/less viscous than thangs like castor oil.
FYI: that thread where I asplained how to make a knockoff Ethique Shampoo Bar ... I've mostly settled on a mix of Shea Butter and Castor oil for the oils and Lavender for the scent :yes:
I'm also a fan of Camellia oil on a wooden comb :thumbs: it's a classic thang for asian hair. The idea is to use an unlacquered wooden comb, and oil the wood with camellia oil, this provides just a touch of oil when you comb your hair. The longer yer hair the more oil you need but I keep my hair relatively short {5cm} :oz:
Camellia oil is best for dry scalp ... mine isn't :nono: but I warsh my hair daily so it's like a scalp moisturizer :afro: and the comb trick gives asian hair the perfect shine plus prevents tangles ... YMMV. :angel:

Is it bad? :uhoh:
My scalp is healthy, neither dry nor oily, but :boyhowdy: my hair gets real BIG in the humidity. :scared: :afro:
I remember from last time I went through this stage. :uhoh: It has to get long enough/heavy enough to be tame. :cat:
Helicopter aunt. :check: He's just not a healthy fella period. :sigh: :gheart:
I guess he's on an oral antibiotic now. They didn't go the home health route for whatever reason. :dunno:
It's 79 degrees with a humidity of 92% dewpoint 76 feels like 91. :heat: :afro:
B is going out to eat weeds & then mow... I am going to vacuum. And find lots more ffuts to does indoors. :rofl:

I dunno what that ffuts is but it sure ain't a shampoo :scratch: it's just a combination of conditioner and silicone oils ... in an alcohol base I'd guess leave in conditioner :dunno:
This ffuts wont does nuthin for growding yer hair :nono: it's just slip and antistatic :electrocute: Prolly better suited for long hair :scratch:
"My scalp is healthy, neither dry nor oily ... "
Um yeah that's not how ya tellz and "healthy" can by dry, nermal or oilly :whistle: ... that last bit is mostly skin/hair type. The best way to tellz is with a cheap usb or bluetooth microscope. You need to look at the follicular scaling, the pore to follicle size and the growth of the hair near the skin. Plus iffen you can the thickness and blood flow in the skin :yes: The nice thang about a microscope is depending on power and quality you can also make an accurate assessment of the hair structure and noes iffen it really is healthy and or what products are building up. You'd also be able to assess J ack i's hair :angel:

New kitchen sounds like fun! :elfparty:
And yes, sig, Matthew has had digestive issues of one form or another most of his life. :sigh:
It's 88 feels like 105 here & I am hasing lunch on the veranda. :wubsigh:
I just mowed til I ran out of gas & could not mow no mo. :chuckle: B is getting gas on his way home.
Speaking of ways home... they are building a new Dollar General on RT 22....the 4 lane (with full lane width shoulders so it looks like 6 lanes) between us & Mom. B also work just 5 miles down that same road. :wiggle: Oh wait...there is a long-runnin center turn lane so the crazy highway looks like 7 lanes. :faint: In OH the same amount of traffic would warrant a 2 lane road...maybe a center lane, maybe not. :crazyeyes: The first thing newcomers to the area always comment on is the massive amount of pavement in roads. :rofl:
Anyway... a new DG just 2.5 miles from here. :cheer:

Stun shell :rofl:
I haven't read the article yet & had never heard the drow glycocalyx. :nonono:
As for :b: tho most of his life he was the type that didn't eat all day & then ate a day's worth of doof between 6 & 9 PM. :woe:
He did smoke tho...up until 2012....and drank a whole lotta coffee. :yes:
Underweightedness was always more his 'thing' up until the desk boj in 2014. And he never ever had high BP til he sedentized either.
I understanz the autophagy now, but it just seems he ran that way most of his life. Seems the damage had been done but the sitting made it all stop moving & therefore, clog. :dunno:
I'll go read the link now. :wiggle:
In other newses....yes, Pan :gheart: :umbrella: I thinks I mentioned that a weekish ago. :yes:
We gotted the :rain: yesterday & today. We were powerlos for awhile yesterday. Just gully washing rain today.
But there was significant flooding just north of here...near Pandora's KY kin & also in Mayfield (who got :twister: ed 18 months ago).

K I read it all. :crazyeyes:
What's the difference between this & the Dr E "Bathe the endothelials with greens" thingy?
Dr E has a much simplified peecture showing the endothelial layer....potential breeches... & dreaded foam cells :horror:
I believe that for :b: the most important thing for him right now is the increased physical activity level. :flex:
His muskels are back, he's back to completely & totally wearing me out on any given weekend. :splat:
And we both believe in the benefits of the spirulina. :righton:
So I don't remember if I mentioned it but whist I read that I kept thinking about Marilyn, my cousin-in-law up the drive.
BTW, did you know that Jodi's birth name was Marilyn? :faint: :wub:
Anyway...this Marilyn was on her way to DC with her kids & grandkkids when she began having severe pain in what she thought was her stomach or heart. So bad they stopped at an ER in Knoxville. :eek: Long story short they admitted her overnight & found that she has 2 blood clots in her lungs. :faint: They gave her heparin & she went on to DC for the week. :rofl:
She's had initial doctor visit, ultrasound & now is being referred to a hematologist.
She was also a smoker. She quit maybe 5 years ago. But she has been travelling a lot with work for the past couple years...driving, mostly but also flying. For real, she's gone prolly 50% of the time.
Fwiw, B has never had an elevated A1C nor even slightly high blood glucose. Dunno if or how that fits into all of this. :pie:

"What's the difference between this & the Dr E "Bathe the endothelials with greens" thingy?"
Completely unrelated ... none of this ffuts is a single effect :vibes: and yer healed thang :nono: ... there are multiple modes of action and different effects and contributing factors :yes: If nitric oxide alone could fix eberythang soso wouldn't be soso bad and pastrami would be a health doof :wubsigh:
Also this is NOT about B :nono: it's like B adjacent :oz: Yer the one who mentioned Dr.E as an afterthought from one of B's cardio docs. I just researched him and thunked WTFPB :roll: but after vetting him and his werks realized he and his results were legit AND that's why I said this was B's best chance at reversing the damage.
Thang is I noes lots 'n LOTS about how thangs werk espeeshully doof and hooman metabolism but Dr.E's protocol makes no sensicalz :scratch: However, his results while unexpected from what is known and unerstood are very well documented :yes: So I wanted to noes how and why ... it's a psience nerd thang :matt:
Anywho nitric oxide is important espeeshully for people with angina or little :egg: sercise and a poor diet BUT it's not going to undoes a clogged artery :nono:
"And we both believe in the benefits of the spirulina. :righton: "
Beleebz are not necessary I did the :egg: periments on zero boy and gotted actual data 8) The numberz will vary based on personal biomes and what not but three spirulina :button: s is roughly equal to one vegetational serving equivalent of powdered kale :yes: The fresh is actually much better and longer lasting {~3 daze} but 1g of powdered kale equals 15g to 20g of fresh ... so 3 to 4 g ~1 serving. Three spirulina :button: s are just convenient and easier to git down iffen you is in a hurry or just rightfully hate kale nights :yucky:
"Dr E has a much simplified peecture showing the endothelial layer....potential breeches... & dreaded foam cells :horror: "
Yeah "simplified" is nice but pretty much useless and it's one of the reasons why so many docs think LDL causes vascular damage :woe: It don't the vascular damage is caused by other thangs like :smokes: and prolonged high blood :suck: glucose which effectively errodes the glycocalyx ... after which thangs like LDL can "stick" to the eroded area and other thangs like vLDL can penetrate down into the endothelial layer.
The real question was "how" is that foam cell removed {iffen possible} the answer as I suspected 8) autophagy. But how is autophagy a thang for a diet that is based on plant starchiovoreness :scratch: and :boom: Dr.E's protocol even though carb based induces autophagy by lowering blood glucose ... initially through ketosis 'cuz it's sooo hard in the beginning and finally by feeding the body unprocessed carbs very slooowly ... but to be clear ketosis is not required for autophagy but since low insulin and or blood glucose kinda is aka prolonged calorie reduction ... it's gonna be a rare case that doesn't involve ketosis in the beginnings :angel:
"I believe that for :b: the most important thing for him right now is the increased physical activity level. :flex: "
That's fine :yes: it's not really directly related to anything but more :egg: sercise is always doog :yes:
"Fwiw, B has never had an elevated A1C nor even slightly high blood glucose. Dunno if or how that fits into all of this. :pie: "
Um that's why I said iffen he was gonna cheat he should does it with carbs and NOT oil. Also the description of his clogginess was wrong for persistent high glucose ffuts.
Durtmomma on the other hand should consider some changes but not this gawdawful WTFPB thang :unthumbs:
Completely unrelated ... none of this ffuts is a single effect :vibes: and yer healed thang :nono: ... there are multiple modes of action and different effects and contributing factors :yes: If nitric oxide alone could fix eberythang soso wouldn't be soso bad and pastrami would be a health doof :wubsigh:
Also this is NOT about B :nono: it's like B adjacent :oz: Yer the one who mentioned Dr.E as an afterthought from one of B's cardio docs. I just researched him and thunked WTFPB :roll: but after vetting him and his werks realized he and his results were legit AND that's why I said this was B's best chance at reversing the damage.
Thang is I noes lots 'n LOTS about how thangs werk espeeshully doof and hooman metabolism but Dr.E's protocol makes no sensicalz :scratch: However, his results while unexpected from what is known and unerstood are very well documented :yes: So I wanted to noes how and why ... it's a psience nerd thang :matt:
Anywho nitric oxide is important espeeshully for people with angina or little :egg: sercise and a poor diet BUT it's not going to undoes a clogged artery :nono:
"And we both believe in the benefits of the spirulina. :righton: "
Beleebz are not necessary I did the :egg: periments on zero boy and gotted actual data 8) The numberz will vary based on personal biomes and what not but three spirulina :button: s is roughly equal to one vegetational serving equivalent of powdered kale :yes: The fresh is actually much better and longer lasting {~3 daze} but 1g of powdered kale equals 15g to 20g of fresh ... so 3 to 4 g ~1 serving. Three spirulina :button: s are just convenient and easier to git down iffen you is in a hurry or just rightfully hate kale nights :yucky:

Z was a Marilyn :faint: well she was rocking her inner :blonde: Monroe :thumbs:
I think she legally changed her name 3 times. :yes: Jodi was the longest & final. :windy: But she did not like the name Marilyn nor the period of life that went with it. :nonono:
I've had a really :zanna: kind of day. :splat:
I watched a mouse dance around my kitchen counter for 2+ hours this morning. :scared:
I am not phobic, but meeces are one of my least favorite creatures. It's the startle factor...the scampering here & there.
Anyway... B had seen one yesterday morning & had set a trap. No trap tripped.
I honestly kinda forgot about it cuz it's been a long time since we've seen any indoors and it's really the 'wrong' time of year.
But this morning I reheated me some :mushroom: chili & cooked Jacki some oatmeal. We had our bowls on the island & I was adding chopped onion, she had maple syrup. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something scamper along the wall behind the sink. :scared: Then... for the next 2 hours it proceeded to taunt us! :no:
As I was overcoming my fear (the longer I saw it the less reactive I became) Sasha was totally oblivious. :gaah:
The rest of the cats were outside but she is the youngest female & the one voted most likely to catch a mouse.
The senior ladies woulda had it yesterday when they were younger but they both gonna be 17 next month. :wub:
So finally I decided I could not do anything at the moment so I was going to go clean my bedroom & bide time til B gets home. :wwbd: :rofl: Then I heard a little crash. Stepped into the kitchen & saw Sasha with said mouse in her mouth.
I immediately ran to open the door & called Sasha to come out & guess what?
She lost it! :no:
Under the hutch it seems. I really still don't know for sure. :uhoh:
She tried her best to get under there but could not fit & then after a few minutes she decided to go outside. :huh:
I have barricaded the area with cardboard (quite temporary) & am thinking it was likely mortally wounded. :candle:
So now I have spent the last 3-4 hours super deep cleaning the kitchen! :splat:
The little :carp2b: was sitting in my spoon rest! :gaah: And climbed to the top of the cup rack. :gaah: And back & forth on my stove.
Bold AF & would only retreat when I yelled at it.
I wished I had Jinn Kai to catch it with his hands. :vibes: :wub:
Anyway... B will be home in 10 minutes & we'll see what's underneath the hutch. :eek:
I wasn't gonna mess, lest it scamper off in another direction.
:pey: A :zanna: kinda day for sure.

Now the spyder would not bother me. :nonono:
Tho speaking of... Mom has had spyder troubles (suspected brown recluses)for awhile now & just recently had an exterminator out.
But she has bites on her chest...the bony upper chest. :eek:
Axshully, I thunk it a pretty doog healing place cuz it's almost always elevated. :righton:
She said yesterday that 2 of the bites look "angry" when she first gets up but then settle down & are fine. I've had her using CS a couple times a day plus she had some antibiotic ointment from hasing her toenail removed.
Elsewise I've just directed her to keep a close watch & iffin any spots begin to necrotize or expand... off we goes to the ER most likely cuz elsewise you get a dingaling N.P.
And yes I amembered the aforementioned situation...did not recall the year which was 2012. :faint:
:gaah:
It ate the peanut butters without tripping the trap. :crazy:
I am going out today & will pick up a couple live traps. We had one once before in the nursery & sadly forgotted to check it. :candle: B went over to the :uhoh: (you wanna see spyders?? :scared: and maybe snakes or meeces or ??? IT's just cuz it's 'closed'...hot & cluttered with cardboard boxes mainly) nursery to look for aforementioned live trap but did not find.
So after thoroughly washing every teensy thing in the kitchen & scrubbing all surafaces it was put back together, freshly decluttered , rebalanced & brand-new clean. I thanked the little critter for what it triggered. :cheer: But now want it to move on...
7 freakin worthless cats! :gaah:
:spitcoffee:
Oh... & Matthew has spiked a fever again. :sigh: Don't know any more as of yet. :popcorn:

:hippy: Freak :check:
"Tho speaking of... Mom has had spyder troubles (suspected brown recluses)for awhile now & just recently had an exterminator out.

Sounds more like she sleeps with her chest :egg: sposed and she gotted bit by sumthin else :dunno: Spyder bites are quite distinct with their dang dual spears :fist: Anywho, it don't need to be a "brown recluse" :nono: ANY spyder bite cab become necrotizing 'cuz they is ebil :yes:
The thang is the necrosis typically begins within a few hours and by next day you seez the "hemorrhagic vesicle ". That's the point when you want to goes to the ER :yes: Also it's no longer really the venom no morez it's an immune system wildfire amuck running :frantic:
The doog news is them bites are prolly fine and just need timez to heal and be kept clean :cs: to avoid secondary issues :angel:
"It ate the peanut butters without tripping the trap. :crazy: "
Yeah they is smate like that :yes: It's also why I use the siguie box method ... it's harder to avoid :oz:
Wow a klean kitchen :wubsigh: iffen it weren't for all the werk I'd want one :yes:

So I gotted 2 of these: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Harris-Reusable-Catch-Release-Humane-Mouse-Trap-1-Trap/639401416?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=161&adid=22222222277639401416_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=aud-1651068664506:pla-294505072980&wl5=9013549&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=639401416&wl13=161&veh=sem_LIA&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_O2lBhCFARIsAB0E8B_UcsxBaXTRF1f-1MYPZvglzq9_jriV_rQK1_pf2Qcgk3lF0P8w1BwaAnLMEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
And we put peanut butter topped with sunflower seeds in it. :drool:
And then we went out for an hour or so. :elfparty: The new DG was open. :sparkle: So we toured just to see what they carry & check prices since it's gonna be the nearest store of any kind. It was beautiful...perfectly organized, almost fully stocked, super clean.
And when we got home... Marky Mouse was in the pet carrier. :chuckle: B named him. I didn't wanna get that attached. :rofl:
And then he drove him off to the field of his dreams down the road. :cloud9:
Tho he prolly still dreams of that sunflower seed topped peanut butter. :wubsigh:
Oh & he was still under the hutch tho surely he coulda breached the cardboard barrier had he really tried.
Tho the ever-presence of cats likely was a big deterrent to breaking out. :yes:
And today...we're off with all the girls to the Golden Pond Planetarium. :sparkle: :sun: :sparkle:

Worst weekend EBER :gaah: and I git out just in time to git to werk :wall: Dang you uniberse :fist:
So kale night ended in a peculiar way ... it was Freaken HOT as :egg: pected dad was doog and made a comment like "didja hurt yer face?" I said :huh: and that's when I noticed my cheek was all puffy. Then I noticed it was atypically warm BUT I didn't want to alarmz dad so said prolly just a bruise or kale allergy :whistle: But when he wasn't looking I grabbed his SpO2 meter and my oxygen was fine but my :heart: rate was over a hunert going between 99 and a 104. Then I used the infrared thermometer I gotted him and I had a fever of 101 :woe: The final test was when he was going to bed I borrowed his :carp: automated blood pressure thang and my bp was 190+
This had neber happened afores BUT long story mildly short ... instead of heading home I went to the ER, they suspected the same thang abscess but they thunked teeth but my teeth are AWESOME so I thunked some salivary gland thang. So we had a contest to be decided by a CT scan with a cool iodine based soft tissue contrast thingy I aint heard of. Anywho siguie right agin :woohoo: :irule:
However, at that point they said congrats you win a stay in the hopsickle :sigh:
Anywho unlike Mathew I took the IV antibiotics EBERY 6 hours for 2 freaken daze :gaah:
In any event level 2 sepsis plus I gotted to try ebery form of blood pressure reducer AND I :buttkick: ed them all :muaha: Srsly none of them did anythin :nono: it wasn't until the first day-ish when the antibiotics had kicked in and my temp went down ... then SUDDENLY bp 120-ish which is still high for me but nermal for others and :heart: rate still in the 70's ... agin high but clearly my temp was down so the main thang was over.
Anywho, I gotted a going away pack of antibiotics plus a couple of :heart: meds just in case :woe: 'cuz who noes now that I don't need them they might werk :wall: Anywho never say "no" to free medication :nono: Speeken of which I did talk the doc into a Rx for a chlorhexidine mouthwash that I've been eyeing on Amazon :wub:

:frantic: The germaphobic kemikill man almost gotted :buttkick: ed.
What a crazy story. :crazyeyes:
And no coinkidink that it was sepsis. :faint:
Matthew DID get the IV antibiotics. He was kept 2 nights & I dunno what kind of schedule he gotted them on.
They just opted for oral antibiotics rather than continued IV after home-going.
That BP was :scared: :uhoh: :faint: You were likely a sicker puppy than you even realized. :vibes: :gheart:
Nice of you to does it on a weekend so you didn't has to miss any work at all. :flex:
I bet it rattled your dad moreso than you. :yes: :therethere: :hugs:
Wait!!! You didn't even tell him, did you? :wedgie: You went to ER after leaving him. :pie:
So glad it was caught quickly & hopefully KOed. :buttkick:

Definitely :end:
Does one know how one acquired said initial infection and then how one who professes to be superiorly superior when it comes to immune systems & the likes could possibly have had something that then developed into sepsis??

About time ya showed up :tapfoot:
Actually it turns out it was a doog choice :yes: the weather woulda been in the 80's :no: but I setted my hopsickle room to the minimum 65° which was still too warmz BUT acceptable. The nurses kept bringing me blankets too 'cuz they thunked I must be cold then thunked perchance the fever BUT nope eben when unfevered :flex: I likes :shiver:

:woe: I neber professednuthin likes that :nonono: I noes what I noes 'cuz I hated all the nasally thangs and annoying pain and suffering bits at the hands of NATURE :fist: And no not really but I suspect durty kale 8)
Srsly though no sometimez :carp: just happenz like that :dunno: BUT it's also why I stockpile antibiotics and unlike some I noes when it's time to goes to the ER or Urgent Care :om:
For realz I noed sumthin was wrong based on my :heart: rate :yes: It might spike for a minute or two when doesing sumthin but sustained over 90 isn't :siguie: nermal without a werk out :flex: PLUS the swelling cheek but only one side and SUDDENLY that's not doog :nonono: The only reason I wented to the ER instead of home was the BP. That :heart: rate AND bp with nermal respiration even in intense nigh 80° heat :drama:

So are you saying they are still monitoring your blood? If so, how? :huh:
:sigh: Everything on your side of the country is so much more automagical. :sparkle:
And...I can't beleeb you ate your Dad's :pie: ! :buttkick: :rofl:
We gets to share in the :heat: starting tomorrow...thru Saturday it says. We're just a high of 92 today. :wiggle:
97 tomorrow. I guess 5 more degrees a heatwave makes. :huh:
I find it really interesting how many peoples down here really really hate the heat. Everywhere I goes people say, "It sure is hot" & I replies, "Yes. It's summer.". I reckon they don't know that our average July & August temp is 90 & we've axshully been a bit below that most of this month.
Anyway...we're headed to Jackson with the girls... Mom & ZA. :chuckle: Mainly we're going cuz Jacki is jonesing to go here: https://www.kamiramenbarjackson.com/ Yep. Our FIRST ramen bar. :cheer: It's next door to Books a Million & Jacki has been watching & waiting both in person & online for what feels like forever. :chuckle: They were apposta open in March but just opened a couple weeks ago.
So it's play day! :elfparty: Mom wants to go to Hobby Lobby which is always a fun place to tour. :rofl: I think of Hobby Lobby as a museum. They has lotsa pretty, sparkly :wubsigh: things to look at but since I don't need a single dang thing I just oooh & ahhhh & even touch things & then just walk on. :wiggle: :rofl:
K, sig.... you amember you're not :superman: at the moment & getcha lotsa probiotics to goes with that yummy antibiotic.
Also try & gets some rest. You-time. :pie: I been fussing at you awhile cuz well...in hindsight one could see something about to bork... you been sacrificing yourself to take care of Dad which is admirable right up until the point when you :splat: & then are unable to take care of anybodies.
:gheart:
Oh get this... a very close friend of Zen Aunt who now lives in Northern Georgia was having extreme hypertensiveness....like 260/110 :scared: tho she's been on BP meds since she was 30 (she's 70ish now). So finally (after every other possible test including a passed stress test) they put her in a cath lab. They found multiple total blockages that were not stentable & immediately put her in an ambulance & sent her to a bigger hopsickle for open :heart: surgery. :faint: I'm guessing bypasses but all her husband said to ZA was "open heart surgery".
And that got me thinking...
Iffin one was on BP meds most of their life would that not mask the symptoms of artery blockages?
Up until the point where they could not mask any longer anyway.
Same as how an acetaminophen can block detection of a fever. Matthew's doc told him to lay off the tylenol for that very reason.

"So are you saying they are still monitoring your blood? If so, how? :huh: "
Nope it's a "blood culture". This is where they take 50ml of blood :suck: from each arm and add it to speeshul media to see what grows ... :mushrooms: ... :horror:
Oh and they take it from both arms or more places to rule out contamination so ALL cultures should show the same bugger Or none :dunno: Iffen they identify the infecting :blob: like in Mathews case they also routinely run an antibiotic screening panel to identify susceptibility {and resistance}.
This is all great 'n all BUT the critters take time to grow and multiply and other than thangs like microscopy :check: s 48h is purty much the minimum for identification and it can take a week or more :dunno: Plus I suspect after being discharged the priority level drops :sigh:

The "Tonkatsu Black " is sumthin I spent a long looong time perfecting in the realm of siguie brand ramen :yes: the charshu is easy enough but getting the tare and black garlic oil to pair well with the broth was tough but very muches worth it.

Well it certainly wouldn't bode well for the individual BUT there are many other factors that go into producing blockages so being on the medication alone wouldn't be an issue. Amembers there's the whole endothelial infiltration thangs and foam cells and K vitamins as well as calcium contents and osteocyes and stem cell transformation ad infinitum.

(http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/giljotine.gif) The FINAL cleansing has been fulfilled :cleanse:
Oral surgeon sez sialadenitis of the submandibular salivary gland aka a tiny stone done clogged the thang and a :blob: decided to setup shop but has now been :egg: sorcised :cleanse: He freaken cut between my cheek and jaw dang near thru to the other side :gaah: :fist:
However, another week of BIGEE sized antibiotics and I should be "right as rain" ... srsly themz was his wurdz :chuckle:
Of course in the meantime there's a big hole in my cheek :gaah:
Oh but apparently in 2 or 3 weeks he still wants to make sure it's the right :rain: apparently :dunno:
Also this thang is not uncommon :nono: a little unusual for someone who don't smoke or drink but likely due to the HOT weather and not being sufficiently hydrated :sigh: Time to make some more siguie brand electrolyte drinkz :offtobed:

I :wub: the 70's. :hippy: :afro:
Heat advisory & poor air quality here. :wubsigh: :wedgie:
So no Kami won't get blowback on a name around here. :rofl: Peoples calls it Raymin noodles. I didn't hear but figger they'd say Kami, rhymes with am. But Maybe Kaymi to rhyme with raymin. :crazyeyes: :rofl:
Our doof was pretty doog :yes: They seem to have mixed up the orders & I am not certain that the vegetable broth I had was really vegetable cuz I was on the verge of hives all night last night. But I will chalk all that up to being brand new & just not yet up to speed and we will try again. :yes:
Mom's looked reallly doog but she was just so weirded out by the salad being IN the soup. :hysterical:
We won't go back with Mom. :chuckle: She was, & always is, a good sport. :yes: But I know she didn't really like any of it.
I tried to get her to does a rice bowl but noooo, she wanted noodles even tho she doesn't really care for noodles of any kind.
Tho she really doesn't eat rice either. :chuckle:
But J ack i had an awesome day! She had monies burning through my pocket (she always makes me carry it). For real she had a fiddy dollar bill that she said was "getting old". :rofl: And she carried a twenty & a hundred. :rofl:
At Hobby Lobby all the 'spring shop' ffutses (& there was LOTS of it) was 66% off & she found a Bat Toaster. for $10. :cheer:
A 2 slice toaster that imprints the Bat signal on the bread! :hysterical: We had to make toast the second we came in the door & it axshully works quite well.
And she found a clearanced box of Jelly Bellies. And at Kohl's a small stuffed Elmo & small Pooh Bear.
She was only disappointed that she didn't spend any more monies :rofl: but got real excited when she cashed her fiddy & got a TWENTY back as change. And I was able to convince her that her money really doesn't ever expire. :chuckle:
Cultures! :woe: They drew more blood on Matthew Monday & said they didn't see salmonella but he did still have elevated inflammatory markers. He sees the hematologist again tomorrow. :dunno:
So many years ago (2011) when I was a walker at the Medical Center the lady who worked with me said she'd never have any serious medical concern addressed locally. She said "I'd go to Nashville or Memphis". I thought she was being judgy...and maybe a bit unfair. But the more peoples I see & know that goes to local hopsickles & clinics & the likes, the more I understand what she was saying. Truly the only reason doctors choose to practice here is if they have ties (grew up here) OR more commonly, can't get a boj elsewhere due to past issues. :uhoh:
And Henry County Medical Center is on the verge of closing. :sigh: The OB/GYN is closing on September 1 & the rest of the hopsickle is apparently not far behind. I don't know the specifics (operating at a loss) but I does know that St Thomas Ascension offered to buy the hopsickle & they said no. They want it to remain a county hospital. It's gonna be real :uhoh: for peoples having babies tho when the nearest hospital is over an hour away depending on where one lives.
Energies are super agitated right now. :wtf: Feels like somethin's coming. Again! :woe:

Mmmmm 20°C is acceptable but not nearly as pleasant as 16°C :wubsigh:
You so lucky :buttkick: even siguie manor is 21°C now :hmm:
It "could " be a power issue BUT more likely an update gone wrong or boot sector corruption error :therethere: You'll need to does a local image reset or just reinstall the OS from a flash drive aka "clean install" :therethere:
:secret: Iffen ya does manage to git a system boot this is the time to create a save point :yes:
OR bestest option create a Linux USB boot drive ... boot and save whatever data needs saving THEN install yer preferred linux flavour :thumbs:
"I :wub: the 70's. :hippy: :afro: "
That's prolly why you neber left :therethere:
"Heat advisory & poor air quality here. :wubsigh: :wedgie: "
HELL has heat advisories and smoke :check: & :check:
"I tried to get her to does a rice bowl but noooo, she wanted noodles even tho she doesn't really care for noodles of any kind."
That's basically like Dad :yes: not a rice or noodler fan :drama: Though iffen ya thinxz of it next time go with the Japanese curry :yes: for her my guess would be either the fried pork cutlet curry or an equivalent chicken ... which eber she prefers :yes:
Also YOU should try the curry :yes: It's one of them thangs I :egg: pect you would likes AND it makes a big pot of doof even shrubbery that tastes delicious :liplick: Also it is in no way related to Indian curries 'cept for the name :oz: Oh and YOU would like/prefer the hotter varieties BUT I recommend the medium first to unerstanz the flavour components :angel: ... srsly not kidding :nono: Also this is sumthin Dad lubs and will eat a little rice with but mostly dips bread in or mom would serve over basically cabbage which dad liked :horror:

"Cultures! :woe: They drew more blood on Matthew Monday & said they didn't see salmonella but he did still have elevated inflammatory markers. He sees the hematologist again tomorrow. :dunno: "
That could be a doog thang :yes: I just gotted my results today {after 5 days} and there was nuthin which is called "culture negative" sepsis. This is actually fairly common and basically means the body was still doesing well fighting the :guns: :blob: off 8)
In general the outcomes are more favorable for "culture negative" sepsis patients AND fewer symptoms and issues during and after treatment. :angel:
Tech :nickel: ly I had Stage 2 sepsis when I went in and they drew the blood cultures :suck: minutes after I was seen in the ER. However, in my case it was very likely a relatively minor infection that had been brewing for a while until the dang salivary stone clogged eberythang up :frantic: resulting in the SUDDEN chipmunk cheeking :blush: and likely :blob: discharge into my blood stream ... to which my body said not happening :naughty: ... and went into :siguie: overdrive :guns:
To me this makes the most sensicalz 'cuz it all happened sooo fast :yes: It was just fortunate that ya noes I'm me and noes what signs to take srsly or not ... for realz ... not kidding ... from respiration rate, SpO2 and :heart: rate sumthin was critically wrong and once I took my BP ... the ER was a no :brain: er though only after a piece of :pie: ... I unerstanz priorities :angel:
In Mathew's case he's likely gotten a :blob: that is causing his body to go septic. To be honest you can become septic for nearly any reason, :blob: :mushrooms: virus {incl covid}, diabetes, cancer or any number of other reasons. However, from what you mentioned of Mathew ... my gues is diabetic/prediabetic digestive issues where prolonged high blood glucose :bump: s the :blob: factor producing sumthin akin to the :woo: Leaky Gut Syndrome ... it's really just prolonged inflammation and a :blob: that manages to goes beyond the gut linning :therethere:
Basically it's like bailing water from a boat ... iffen the leak is small, no problem iffen it's HUGE the boat is going down. Mathew is likely in the small enough leak zone that his body can handle it :flex: BUT it might be getting larger or his body is getting tired of fighting it ... hence the issues :therethere:
Iffen correct it could also asplain the e.coli ... it's otherwise nermal for him BUT his gut lining is becoming permeable enough that thangs with motility can git thru :horror:
FYI: E.coli have flagella :whistle:
Oh and why a hematologist? I guess they specialize in figuring out thangs like an infection BUT with a negative culture I'd have thunk more general practitioner to rule out ALL of the other more common potential issues like tumors and intestinal issues such as crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, etc. :dunno:
K here's a guy whose specific dietary advice YOU will NOT care for BUT his rant is :righton:
Time for a little rant!! (https://youtu.be/NHDSrAblaNY) <= youtube
FYI: His specific advice is NOT wrong :nono: but he promotes carnivore eating :thumbs: I'm just being polite for you shrub eaters :oz:
In other newses ...
We may has aliens :woohoo:

We ARE aliens! :buttkick:
:bsl:
So Matthew was salmonella positive not E.Coli.
And I dunno why the whats or nothin cuz he ain't my kid & I ain't in the loop.
No time for the carnivorous :righton: dude cuz...well... busy! :spitcoffee:
For reals. Mowed Mom's yard already...heat index 115 already. Cooling down now before shower & then back out for groceries. :heat:
:hi: :michafire: :wub:
And Japanese curry. :check: I will definitely try it. Dunno bout Mom cuz just the word curry turns her off. :rofl:
Best to just go to traditional southern diners with Mom. :sigh: Where I eat salad... :rofl:
I just know they say "blood doctor" so I figured hematologist.

"We ARE aliens! :buttkick: "
I'm gonna go ahead and gives you that one 'cuz you aint natural :muaha: :moon:
"So Matthew was salmonella positive not E.Coli. "
Yeah yeah :whatever: same difference ... both are rod shaped and flagellated plus part of a hooman gut biome :drama:
As for the hematologist ... I just thunked that meant they had an idea of where the problem is :dunno: ... 90% of the not oblivious sepsising thangs are gut {gastrointestinal} in nature so a general doc or gastroenterologist and iffen they thunked tumor then an oncologist. Blood doktor :suck: just seemed an odd choice :scratch: But no worries he aint yer kid nor mine :nono: ... prolly :whistle: I just :brain: a lot :oz:
"For reals. Mowed Mom's yard already...heat index 115 already. Cooling down now before shower & then back out for groceries. :heat: "
:horror: At ~80 I'da said callz a gardener and a hunert I woulda told the gardeners to neber mind it aint worth it :nono: Heck iffen I had ffuts to mows I'd git a robot mower :wubsigh: and tellz IT to wait 'cuz it's too hot :therethere: Ooooh infrared night mowing :thumbs:
Yer a :bsca: living in :bsc: HELL :yes:
"And Japanese curry. :check: I will definitely try it. Dunno bout Mom cuz just the word curry turns her off. :rofl: "
I recommend S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix, Medium Hot, 7.8 Ounce (https://amzn.to/43OpjZE) <= Amazon Link ... iffen you want to try it at home :yes: It's not too hot and hits all the right notes in a doog :balance: poifect for tweaking and is what I generally use :yes:
That said it's rue based with palm oil so not ideal for B :whistle: BUT it's delicious :liplick: AND tech :nickel: ly 4 cubes ~3.5oz makes 4 to 5 quarts so each helping isn't that bad :nono:
Try it at the restaurant and noes this is gonna be dang near identical 'cuz they always is :yes:
Oh and I really likes using the :brick: s in mashed :tater: :yes: Like siguie brand Onigiri :tater: :thumbs: I usually quickly pan fry the thangs so they don't need wrapping :secret: sometimez I does that to the rice ones as well. I'll also usually add siguie brand spicy tuna to the middle or siguie brand shredded :cow: BUT a surprisingly tasty alternative is siguie brand pickled red onion and cucumber :liplick: BUT ya needs to drain the ffuts really well :oz:
In other newses ... the :sigster: is back :yesss: ... BP under 120 and no :squirrel: <= chipmunk cheeks :blush: ... :heart: rate 2pts high BUT within :egg: perimental error :yes: I've got another week of uber strength Augmentin :flex: and heart rates and bp can be changed with gut biome turnover. Oh and no :siguie: does not TAKE probiotics :nono: ... srsly :yes: I has siguie kraut and coinkadinkally some fermented cuke and carrots PLUS kefir for siguie smoothies and the costco knock off Yakult which is basically a tart lactate fermented drink.
In other wurdz siguie is doog for the weekend :yesss: :wwsd:

Are you still one of the MSG haterz :woe: just take some Kombu and boil it for an hour or so then remove it. Boil the residual water down and use that :yes: You could also recrystalie the seaweed broth to remove the seaweed flavour :yes:
Oh wait silly me :doh: that's how MSG was originally made :darn: Yeah now it's made by fermentation of natural products :roll: Oh gosh Glutamic acid is after all an :egg: tremely common amino acid :whistle: Incidentally increased glutamic acid is related to a :bump: in the neurotransmitter GABA :brain: but youse will prolly want to avoid that ... :muaha:
FYI: Don't fergetz "you" can make Japanese curry from :scratch: too :yes: but it's a mix of; Turmeric, cumin, coriander, orange peel, fenugreek, fennel, cinnamon, Cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger, dill, allspice, cardamom, cloves, star anise, sage, thyme, nutmeg, black pepper, bay leaves ... so most use S&B Curry Powder (https://amzn.to/3DxoMAS) <= Amazon Link
S&B is one of my favourite store bought curry powders :yes: but it's still a lot of werk to make Japanese curry from there :faint: On the other hand using rue cubes and it becomes one of the easiest quick and delicious meals eber :happydance:
Anywho try it at that raymun place :yes: ... Japanese curry is a major staple in Japanese cuisine for a reason and there's eberythang from curry rice and noodles to curry cabbage and breads :yes:

"As for Matthew...the blood doctor :laugh: referred him to an infectious disease doctor. He said "We've got to get to the bottom of this." So we'll see... "
:woe: well I guess yer country hick doktorz have their own ways of doesing ffuts :roll: and as long as he's got doog medical coverage mooving along the buck passing trail will eventually git him to the right place :yes: ... prolly :yes: :yes: :nono:
Of course :logic: would dictate that the thang found in his blood :suck: might be a clue :whistle: iffen it wasn't a hooman transmitted by the dentists pathogen it would be a gut microbe that found a way out ... hence maybe look there first ... just sayin :whistle: That and that's where 90% of sepsis in the US starts :dunno: ya noes assuming no injury or other oblivious :secret: sialadenitis of the submandibular salivary gland :whistle:
Anywho, a full body MRI and a doog radiologist could prolly just sez ... "look here" :roll: A CT might be cheaper but presumably he's had blood werk done :suck: and there are no cancer indicators. Thang is he has a problematic gastro history ... :horn: seez a gastroenterologist :gaah:
Ok to be fair an infectious disease doktor better be able to tellz right away :yes: Unless there is some really clever twist like Mathew is injecting steroids (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) ... this is a low hanging fruit type of case for them :oz:
Also yup :yes: reversal of arterial blockages definitely follows an autophagy route :thumbs:
I found data going back to 2011 and a bunch of research since then PLUS a few attempts at medicines aimed at inducing vascular autophagy to reverse arteriosclerosis specifically :angel:
In short don't cheat on Dr.E's protocol :nono: the closer you follow it the faster/better things should go with B :yes:
You should :brain: about it in more depth too :lbrain: -wise not the stoopid :rbrain: ffuts :nonono:
It's a HUGE topic :faint: I've been studying it for years because coinkadinkilly it relates to Mitochondria too :matt: But Dr.E's protocol is atypical with the no "oil" in the diet ... this wont make sense until ya unerstanz what is known BUT trust me it's weird :yes:
Glycolysis regulates autophagy ... in that for most people on a standard americant diet ... glycolysis turns autophagy OFF or to just very very low levelz. The best unerstood parts of autophagy in regards to hoomanz is when people are in ketosis and in particularly when they is fasting aka :egg: tremely low levelz of insulin AND very low blood glucose.
Dr.E's protocol 'may' induce ketosis, especially in the beginning when there is a great deal of fat loss BUT the long term diet itself is essentially glycolytic ... so thangs git weird :huh: Presumably ... and this is me just guessing ... his protocol induces autophagy the hard way with "calorie restriction". Yes I noes his diet is not officially "calorie restricted" but the doof options make it difficult to eat that muches in the way of calories :dunno:
Anywho learn about autophagy :yes: ... personally I am now wundering iffen there are different autophagic pathways depending iffen one access autophagy via ketosis or glycolysis OR do both follow a similar fasting pathway :hmm2: Alternatively it could be that the arterial blockage :cleanse: might come from a combination of thangs like fasting with too little fat reserves :angel:
Oh and the thang I'm most leaning towards is ALL the bad :carp: and modern diseases are related to insulin resistance :yes: but I reserve the right to change my :brain: without notice {aka no memo} 8)

Oh solly. Time is truly egnarts any more. :crazyeyes:
Seriously, more than ever I feel like I am living in multiple realities. :crazyeyes: :woo:
So...autophagy. :check: Ya knows, Dr E says he simply removed everything that could possibly clog arteries...and added all the greens for the nitric oxide
Funny thing tho is that we are pretty dang strict & we have all gained back some of the initial weight loss. B has gained the most but he also losted the most. :chuckle: It's as if our bodies have gotten accustomed to the oilosness...and lightness. :sparkle:
I figure we lost weight quickly due to the drastic (moreso for him than for me) change, but then after some time (6 monthsish) we began to slowly move back towards our ideal. :dunno: Personally, I'd rather be 10-15 pounds lighter but maybe my body knows what's best at this stage of my life. :dunno: I think now the only way I'ze gonna be lighter is to add significant cardio to my day & I just don't see that happening. :chuckle: B is back at about 190 which is pretty perfect for him. :righton:
We feel good tho. :wig: :gle: And Jacki has not gained back any weight like the 2 of us did. But she has never been as strict as we (cheating horrifically with Mom :rofl: ) have.
And yeah :sigh: Matthew saw a gastroenterologist on more than one occasion AND our country doctors mostly :suck: :sigh:
There is no reason for a doctor to choose to work here where the pay is significantly lower unless he has ties to the area OR (most common) has some sort of skeletons in his closet so that he can't get a job in a city. When ZA ran the Medical Center her doctors ALL had pretty significant skeletons... one was bi-polar & in & out of treatment centers...another was an addict...another was seemingly brilliant but mean & hateful to his staff...another had multiple malpractice suits & had lost his license in several states.
Most rural doctors are Indian or South African or other imported doctors from countries where they cannot make much money at all.
And then the majority of the providers are nurse practitioners or less often, RNs or PAs. Most of the 'offices' have no doctor in the house. And most of the nurse practitioners are locals.
It's an issue you don't realize is an issue until you need specialized care. :gheart:
I know I've told this before but iffin Jacki eats snack doof (or Maruchan ramen) that have msg it totally messes her up.
Her eyes glaze over & her claws & fangs come out. She overreacts, screams, becomes extraordinarly emotional & angry.
When she was little she would hurt me. She knows to avoid it. I mean 2 or 3 Doritos won't affect her but a whole snack bag sure will. :uhoh: It is truly the only doof ingredient that has a very quick effect on her.
Well...caffeine. :rofl: IF you call that a doof ingredient. But she takes the headache pills that are aspirin/tylenol/caffeine as when she gets the infrequent bad headache they are the only thing that works. But about 20 minutes afterwards she starts talking. :blah: And doesn't stop until the drug wears off. :hysterical: She is quite pleasant, just extraordinarily chatty. :lalala:

"Seriously, more than ever I feel like I am living in multiple realities. :crazyeyes: :woo: "
Psighentistically ... NOT :woo: ... youse and eberyone prolly does :yes:
Srsly :yes: it's one of them thangs like the Laws of Thermodynamics ... what people noes as "true" in psighence is stoopidly oversimplified and more rule of :thumbs: than Law of nature/pHyzics ... spoiler alert :secret: energy is NOT conserved :nono: and Grabbity is NOT a force :nono: nor does it actually :egg: sist as people thinxz :om:
"I figure we lost weight quickly due to the drastic (moreso for him than for me) change, but then after some time (6 monthsish) we began to slowly move back towards our ideal. :dunno: "
:woe: K ya noes that looong monolog of posts with the "k where was we" s ... that was me asplaining how thangs werk in regards to diets and doof. STOP thinking of "fat" as weight :thwack: ... it's just stored fuel ... and that fuel is in Tryglyceride format. If the fat was put there by consuming carbs, those carbs were turned into triglycerides by the liver and then deposited as fat.
When the body is low on fuel it burns FAT {triglycerides} NOT glucose :nono: In other wurdz when you lose fat you are burning triglycerides as fuel. Sure a small fraction of those triglycerides are converted back into glucose via gluconeogenesis but it's wasteful and only done when absolutely required.
In other wurdz that "drastic change" of which you speak was your bodies going into ketosis and becoming "fat adapted" while your :mushrooms: overlords began the conquest of your gut biome and :brain: ... which takes about ... wait for it ... Du Duh DUNN ... 6 months :roll:
Here's the kicker ... back when B was constantly "starving" and needing sumthin more ... that was the deepest point of autophagy and thus healing :yes:
Autophagy is turned off by insulin AND insulin prevents fat cells from disgorging their contents PLUS both protein AND oil turn autophagy off. This is why keto/carnivore advocates often "fast" in order to achieve significant levels of autophagy :yes: When youse is happily saited autophagy tends to occur only for a short time before one awakens.
Srsly though read up on autophagy :angel: CAD reversal is definitively through a lysosomal digestive action AND that basically means autophagy and a lot LOT of it :horror:

Anywho as I mentioned afores autophagy FTW :cheer: but the real question with the Dr.E protocol is the how and when of this autophagy :scratch:
In the beginning ketosis plus always being in that starved state then autophagy makes plenty of sensicalz :thumbs: BUT once you've been assimilated by yer :mushrooms: overlords ... well Dr.E's protocol basically means yer back to a glycolytic lifestyle and are doing very low carb autophagy ... I guess :dunno: I noes it's possible BUT I srsly noes nuthin about that at this point :ashamed: to be honest I didn't thinxz it possible unless you was starving all the time :dunno: THAT's why I sez you should learn about autophagy stat ... the thangs youse want to noes is very different from what I want to noes and for you/B it could be rather important :whistle:

Longer story short ... the majority of doktorz :suck: the best are the ones that actually care about people and are willing to werk with them BUT the majority just follow the medikal guidelines and the treatment flow charts of getting tests based on symptoms then redirecting patient care to the recommended speeshulyst.

Psighentistically ... NOT :woo: ... youse and eberyone prolly does :yes:
Srsly :yes: it's one of them thangs like the Laws of Thermodynamics ... what people noes as "true" in psighence is stoopidly oversimplified and more rule of :thumbs: than Law of nature/pHyzics ... spoiler alert :secret: energy is NOT conserved :nono: and Grabbity is NOT a force :nono: nor does it actually :egg: sist as people thinxz :om:
"I figure we lost weight quickly due to the drastic (moreso for him than for me) change, but then after some time (6 monthsish) we began to slowly move back towards our ideal. :dunno: "
:woe: K ya noes that looong monolog of posts with the "k where was we" s ... that was me asplaining how thangs werk in regards to diets and doof. STOP thinking of "fat" as weight :thwack: ... it's just stored fuel ... and that fuel is in Tryglyceride format. If the fat was put there by consuming carbs, those carbs were turned into triglycerides by the liver and then deposited as fat.
When the body is low on fuel it burns FAT {triglycerides} NOT glucose :nono: In other wurdz when you lose fat you are burning triglycerides as fuel. Sure a small fraction of those triglycerides are converted back into glucose via gluconeogenesis but it's wasteful and only done when absolutely required.
In other wurdz that "drastic change" of which you speak was your bodies going into ketosis and becoming "fat adapted" while your :mushrooms: overlords began the conquest of your gut biome and :brain: ... which takes about ... wait for it ... Du Duh DUNN ... 6 months :roll:
Here's the kicker ... back when B was constantly "starving" and needing sumthin more ... that was the deepest point of autophagy and thus healing :yes:
Autophagy is turned off by insulin AND insulin prevents fat cells from disgorging their contents PLUS both protein AND oil turn autophagy off. This is why keto/carnivore advocates often "fast" in order to achieve significant levels of autophagy :yes: When youse is happily saited autophagy tends to occur only for a short time before one awakens.
Srsly though read up on autophagy :angel: CAD reversal is definitively through a lysosomal digestive action AND that basically means autophagy and a lot LOT of it :horror:

Yep. And I guess they can't find an infectious disease specialist who axshully sees patients other than in the hopsickle.
But at least he does seem to has a doctor that really cares & is determined to help him get to the cause. The doctor called him yesterday. Not the first time he's called either. And when Matthew told him he'd had a temp of 101 a couple days ago but then back to 99.5 since then he said he needed to see him sooner than later. ZA is thinking he'll admit him again...for more testing.
:crazy:
As for autophagy....you saying I oughta let him work all day with no food like he's prone to do? :yes: Weekend autophaging? :chuckle:
I will read up on it more. :wiggle: In my spare time. :hysterical:
Funny thing is... [edited by siguie for inappropriate content :club: ] Or 2. :rofl: :righton:
You'd be a doog medical doctor tho. :yes: Cuz you were born with a psyentist's mind. :brain:
So I just did one of my favorite things to does! :happydance:
I bought TICKETS! :cheer:
Where? What? When?? :rofl:
Ok... to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on 12/23 at 3PM to see a Holiday show with Vince Gill & Amy Grant. :yes:
https://www.ryman.com/
A bit out of character? Maybe. :chuckle: But it's for Mom. :wub: She really really wants to go to the Ryman again cuz she hasn't been there in many many years. Lest you not know it is a historical old church turned concert venue many many years ago.
The place is speshul. :angel: The accoustics are amazing & the place is full of :ghost: s. :yes: Friendly ghosts...sitting in the pews. :yes: And yes, it still has pews. :rofl: B & I went for the first time in 2016 to see the Silversun Pickups & Foals. In the photos he took when the place was relatively empty you can easily see 'shadows' :ghost: sitting here & there throughout the venue.
Anyway... Mom wants to go to the Ryman & she loooves Vince Gill. So this is her Christmas gift. :sparkle:
Zen Aunt is of course going, too. :wub:

If you compare Dr.E's protocol to pritikin and ornish you can see they all share a core system and the slight variations are mostly to make the last two easier to stay on.

All 3 help maintain :heart: health at whatever level they was started but strictly following Dr.E's protocol is the only one that shows "regular" improvement in calcified blocked arteries. In the other two it's rare and potentially only anecdotally that adherents reverse a calcified blocked artery ... sticky gummy cholesterol laden arteries ALL flush out quickly on any of the 3 but CALCIFIED blockages are really only reversed by following Dr.E's protocol.

The rain in Spain (West Tanasi) falls mainly on the plain. :umbrella: 3" yesterday. 2" so far today.
The grass is spring green & growing by the minute. :rofl:
And rhetoricalating is a very doog kaerf drow! :righton:
So I figger in B that at the 100% blockage the collaterals have matured so now the opening of the artery would just be like a bonus flow. :chuckle:
And yes, hopefully the 45% one is clear....and at last visit the doc mentioned (for the first time) "all those places where there was early buildup" which is when I spoke up & said. "Hopefully the diet has cleaned all those out by now". :cheer: That's when he was speaking of the progressiveness of the disease.
Would you believe the lady with the SUDDEN multiple bypass after 40 years of bp meds was seeing a cardiologist on the regular? :faint: But right before the surgery she had seen a different cardiologist. He says, "We gotta get you in the cath lab asap" and :boom: there it is. :faint: I am still stunned that the first cardiologist did not see fit to catheterize her. In all the years she saw him. But she is like B in that she is a youthful 70 year old...full of vigor, spunky & healthy exceot for the chronic hypertension. So I figger she was prejudged.
It is truly hard to find doctors who take one seriously when you "look fine". :sigh: We faced that with J ack i many times cuz she didn't show pain, or illness, like others.
Anyway.... that was digressiveness. :pie:
I read the study. Mostly. :chuckle: I don't get how 'death from all causes' is relevant in correlating high cholesterol with CVD. So somebody died from sepsis (they were veterans :p ) or diabetic complications or auto accidents... maybe their arteries were so clogged that they could have died from heart disease IF they had lived long enough. :scratch:
But still...it is progress in reversing the massive disinformation campaign propagated by the pharmaceuticals (solly :therethere: ).
So how long before the overprescribing trend stops?
Oh I gots a physiological (I think :scratch: ) question for you...
Is there any way I can stop my body from retaining so much water when it's very hot?
Or does my body need to does that in order to cope with the heat?
And no, I don't get puffy ankles or the likes. Not like my mother or grandmother. :nonono:
It's more abdominal bloating...from waist to upper thighs.
And on those super hot days, especially when I'm working outside, I can gain 5-8 pounds (weight :nana: ) and then get up and pee mass quantities 2 or 3 times that night & be 'normal'....ok, lamron...the next morning.
It's not a big deal. Just wondered if I can prevent it or if maybe it is necessary & I oughta just fuggedaboutit.
It's FRIDAY! :rstars: On Wednesday B & I decided to rename Thurzdaze as "Almost Friday". :check: So we gots
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Almost Friday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Has a much more pleasant ring to it. :rstars:

"So I figger in B that at the 100% blockage the collaterals have matured so now the opening of the artery would just be like a bonus flow. :chuckle: "
:scratch: You has an inerestin unerstanding or not of collateral formation :yes: :yes: :nono:
Here's an image from Pinterest that makes it a bit clearer ... click for image (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/388294799116761367/)
Basically colaterallizing acts as a :heart: bypass. Ebery time B felt that nasty angina :whip: ... some part of his heart was being injured. Callateralizationating reroutes blood :suck: to the area{s} being impacted. The thang is it may or may not be a real bypass and most times it's not :nono:
A :heart: surgeon takes a piece of vein {usually from the leg} and adds a little loop to the :heart: artery bypassing {hence the name } the clogged area. It's possible that THE or A collateral {usually there's lots of them} did the same :yes:
In either case, collaterals percolating over an area or making a loop bypass ... the hunert percent clog still remains ... or does it? :hmm2: Ya seez that's the question I is wunderin does autophagy absorb the clog as a whole OR does the clog absorb stage left {or right} into the arterial wall and the artery is then reopened? :dunno: 'cuz with zero blood :suck: flow the artery should degrade and be absorbed by the body. Either way it don't make no neber mind to B's :heart: :nono: it's the 40% clogging that needs to be fixed OR bypassed :dunno:
"you in the cath lab asap" and :boom: there it is. :faint: I am still stunned that the first cardiologist did not see fit to catheterize her."
Um THAT is the current :rimshot: state of medical intervention for such thangs :yes: though an arterial calcium scan {CACS} kinda seems like a no :brain: er but Apparently 1 even B doesn't git one :dunno:
Coronary arterial disease is basically considered irreversible and treatment is to slooow the progression and don't does nuthin until you absolutely has to. Even in a young mostly healthy patient :heart: surgeries of any kind are best avoided due to SUDDEN drop dead syndrome :whistle:
"It is truly hard to find doctors who take one seriously when you "look fine". :sigh: "
It's hard to find a doog doktor even if you look like death warmed over ... you need to show symptoms AND then be validated with test results otherwise you do not qualify for any treatment :nono: For realz most docs will be replaced by AI for initial assessments because they do a better boj :yes:
"I read the study. Mostly. :chuckle: I don't get how 'death from all causes' is relevant in correlating high cholesterol with CVD. "
:woe: All Cause Mortality is literally the most important aspect of medical sadistics and espeeshully this paper :roll: Think of it like this iffen you take another group of 1,479 men of age 50 to 70 in the US they should exhibit the same level of mortality. Given large enough sizes sadistically eberythang else averages out. That's what makes this so important because like that Korean paper with ~25k peoplez even though this one only has 1,500 ish they is Americantz so no asian peoplez live longer hand waving :hi:
In other wurdz the paradoxical relationship described is that the Higher your total cholesterol, espeeshully LDL the Loooonger you live. Also High LDL does NOT correlate with cardiovascular disease like the AMA sez :muaha:
In short ... did I mention ... :siguie: right agin :cheer: :irule:
It's never been difficult to figure out but it requires time and more than a little digging to unerstanz that medical doktorz completely Jengaed the :carp: out of LDL.
People need to unerstanz the medical ffuts they is involved with OR choose to blindly follow what doktorz tell them. The second option isn't meant to be belittling or even meant to imply that it's a wrong choice :nono: It's easy and convenient to follow a doktorz advice AND in emergencies I'd even recommend it :yes: Thinxz of it like B ... he's ok believing and following his doc and that's his choice BUT iffen it weren't for youse being a knucklehead :woo: durt hugger he wouldn't be on that :carp: WTFPB diet :nono: and atleast for now that really REALLY is his bestest option :angel:

Either way it don't make no neber mind to B's :heart: :nono: it's the 40% clogging that needs to be fixed OR bypassed :dunno:
"you in the cath lab asap" and :boom: there it is. :faint: I am still stunned that the first cardiologist did not see fit to catheterize her."
Um THAT is the current :rimshot: state of medical intervention for such thangs :yes: though an arterial calcium scan {CACS} kinda seems like a no :brain: er but Apparently 1 even B doesn't git one :dunno:
Coronary arterial disease is basically considered irreversible and treatment is to slooow the progression and don't does nuthin until you absolutely has to. Even in a young mostly healthy patient :heart: surgeries of any kind are best avoided due to SUDDEN drop dead syndrome :whistle:
"It is truly hard to find doctors who take one seriously when you "look fine". :sigh: "
It's hard to find a doog doktor even if you look like death warmed over ... you need to show symptoms AND then be validated with test results otherwise you do not qualify for any treatment :nono: For realz most docs will be replaced by AI for initial assessments because they do a better boj :yes:
"I read the study. Mostly. :chuckle: I don't get how 'death from all causes' is relevant in correlating high cholesterol with CVD. "
:woe: All Cause Mortality is literally the most important aspect of medical sadistics and espeeshully this paper :roll: Think of it like this iffen you take another group of 1,479 men of age 50 to 70 in the US they should exhibit the same level of mortality. Given large enough sizes sadistically eberythang else averages out. That's what makes this so important because like that Korean paper with ~25k peoplez even though this one only has 1,500 ish they is Americantz so no asian peoplez live longer hand waving :hi:
In other wurdz the paradoxical relationship described is that the Higher your total cholesterol, espeeshully LDL the Loooonger you live. Also High LDL does NOT correlate with cardiovascular disease like the AMA sez :muaha:
In short ... did I mention ... :siguie: right agin :cheer: :irule:
It's never been difficult to figure out but it requires time and more than a little digging to unerstanz that medical doktorz completely Jengaed the :carp: out of LDL.
People need to unerstanz the medical ffuts they is involved with OR choose to blindly follow what doktorz tell them. The second option isn't meant to be belittling or even meant to imply that it's a wrong choice :nono: It's easy and convenient to follow a doktorz advice AND in emergencies I'd even recommend it :yes: Thinxz of it like B ... he's ok believing and following his doc and that's his choice BUT iffen it weren't for youse being a knucklehead :woo: durt hugger he wouldn't be on that :carp: WTFPB diet :nono: and atleast for now that really REALLY is his bestest option :angel:

Friday Kale Night :no:
No Thursdazes in a week :righton:
As for the muffin top bloat almost certainly a type of Heat Edema though I noes there's sumthin called "ascites" but I don't thinxz that's heat induced :scratch: but it's a liver thang an I doesn't noes much about it other than that.
More likely Heat Edema with grabitational pooling around the mid section :yes: 'cuz that's the part not getting no werk out :flex:

One way or another it sounds like edema so the oblivious thang is to :bump: protein content in yer doof 'cuz plant protein is nigh useless :moon: The other thang is electrolytes :electrocute: ... being vegetationists yer Magnesium is likely fine but yer likely low on Calcium and most importantly Potassium. It's that last one that people neber git enough of :nono: AND it's peeed aways :bye: rather quickly :drama:
K that's the nermal way to fix/help edema ... now the siguie way 8) Srsly iffen it's heat edema related the problem is heat :duh: Iffen you cannot hang in a cold room like nermal folk during the day try ice packs around the waist :thumbs: :shiver: :hysterical: OR git a fan preferably solar powered and a mister or spray bottle filled with water.
Iffen yer mid section sweats enough ya wont need the water :nono: but aim the fan at yer stomach and iffen it don't feel cold use the mister :oz:
For realz :yes: you can also find stoopid :egg: pensive gym gear that's literally a wrap that you wet to feelz the cool :shiver: of :windy: evaporative cooling.
Just so ya noes ... the cooling will werk :yes: but it's possible and likely the liquid will just find another location to deposit ... atleast until yer blood :suck: contents, pressure and relative permeability improve :yes: aka more protein and better electrolyte :balance: oh and perchance does some :hula: 'cuz the liquid goes to the least active area :oz:

Here at siguie manor it's 66°F :yesss:
Over the hill where Dad is 90°F :no:
He as AC so he should be ok but he better not tries to git me emergency harvesting 'cuz not happening :nono:
Unfortunately tourists have invaded :fist:
In other newses ...
Skinwalker Ranch S4E14 youtube clip (https://youtu.be/qLxvzeP9PIs) :share:
Really intriguing :yes: PLUS there's another clip where they sent a speeshul timer circuit up and losteded like a quarter second :faint:
Thang is them circuits are :egg: tremely accurate and can be used to measure the time dilation based on altitude in regards to relativity ... I don't noes the details BUT I noes you can buy the atomic clock circuits to make yerself :yes: Iffen you has two set identically and fly one in a plane for a few hours the time difference is what Einstein predicted :faint: not muches different BUT measurable :yes: Sending one up in a rocket shouldn't has made any notable difference so a quarter second is :scared: :faint:
Very Cool :share:
In related newses the UAP ffuts is getting inerestin too :popcorn:

So yes, I am going to immediately start working outdoors with ice packs, or possibly even a fan, wrapped around my waist.
:spitcoffee:
That will help me bend & squat & move tremendously. :nonono: :pie:
It ain't that bigga deal. :nonono: I just kinda figgered my body needs the extra water for handling the heat.
It only happens when it's super hot...like heat indexes of 100+
And my understanding of collaterals is precisely correct. Your understanding of my statement is what is in doubt. :wedgie:
The doc said initially that the collaterals were tiny. ..brand-new...and needed time to fully develop (mature) before he'd feel the difference. He also said they stood there for a long time making sure that blood was fully circulating through the collaterals. It was.
Anyway...what a weekend! :sparkle: :splat: Kinda lazy, kinda wet. :chuckle: (8" in 3 days). On Saturday we loaded Mom's van with the usual suspects (us 3, Mom & ZA) & headed to Jackson. A bit down the road she gotted a phone call that caused us to pull over. :huh: No...nothing 'bad'. A neighbor was reporting that Murray Walmart was clearancing all their ProMix (as well as every other lawn/garden bagged thing) for $2 a cube. :faint: So we turn around & headed north to Murray. :hysterical:
So we bought an entire pallet of ProMix. Fiddy 2 cu ft widdle bales at $2 each. :cheer:
And....they had bags of mulch for fiddy cents each! :faint:
As we were in Mom's van we paid for the pallet & then went back yesterday with the truck for pickup. :cheer:
We were gonna get a pallet of mulch but someone had already torn into the wrapped pallet so we squeezed 20 bags into the back of the truck with the ProMix.
Then we had to find a place to puts it. :faint:
We cleaned out a spot beside the nursery & then I climbed in the truck & hande the bales to :b: who stacked them on the ground.
The heat index was 114 whilst we did this. :heat:
We are super :excited: It feels just like staring over... cue John Lennon. :choir:
We are determined to reclaim the nursery ( :scared:: ) and Dance Hall.
But mostly...the ProMix was cheaper than even making your own. Much cheaper. And it's doog ffuts. :check:
And this week... I gots mega :tomatoe: to process somehow....mega mega hot banana peepers to pickle... and mega mega MEGA grapes for the first time. :faint: I'm reading abouts wine making, jellying &/or juicing right now.
Oh yeah & this particular Walmart is having the parking lot paved this week so they needed it CLEAR NOW! :cheer:
The ProMix is still $12-13 each at other Walmarts in the area.

So Sig, I noes you noes fermentation....
But has you made :wine: ??
I found a recipe (India seems to make a lot of homemade wines) that uses only grapes & sugar (with optional clove & cinnamon) & does not deem it necessary to use yeast or kemikills.
This is the recipe I am currently favoring: https://oventales.com/home-made-grape-wine/

"So yes, I am going to immediately start working outdoors with ice packs, or possibly even a fan, wrapped around my waist."
Doog for you :yes: It will make a BIG difference :yes: PLUS it's so easy :thumbs: just spritz yer shirt and ride yer pHarm vehicle with a fan facing you for the added :windy:
I use this small desk fan (https://amzn.to/3OoNPv2) <= Amazon Link with this Lixada Solar Panel (https://amzn.to/3QCt0P8) <= Amazon Link. The fan is rechargeable :electrocute: but has built in pass thru so the battery acts like a UPS {Uninterruptible Power Supply :electrocute: } for when :cloud: s and what not block the :sun:
I don't drive no pHarm :carp: tors or nuthin BUT it's a great solar powered cooling system :yes:
Alternatively you can git a misting fan for the all in one option :yes: I don't has this one BUT I'm considering it ... Misting Fan Portable (https://amzn.to/3QuTH8t) <= Amazon Link Of course you can just search for misting fans and find them a lot cheaper BUT that first one can be solar powered while using AND it looks doog :yes:
That sed for youse personally with all yer durty bendy squats :horror: you should look at Waste Fan (https://amzn.to/3KuDxs1) <= Amazon Link ... they is two to four times the price NOW :faint:
I has one similar to this (https://amzn.to/3QqPaEb) <= Amazon Link ... it has a waist clip on one side and a shirt clip on the other so you can has the air blow underneath the shirt without the shirt blocking the air intake. It's AWESOME :cheer: and :egg: actly what you should use with an optional hand mister :angel:
Oh and yeah I noes you was posting from a deep :rbrain: sarchasm :buttkick: but I was serious :wedgie:
For realz heat edema for the most part isn't dangerous :nono: but yer olde and vegetationally nutrient challenged ... the whole camel storage system mimicking overtime can cause issues espeeshully when you notice thangs are getting worser or more rentetionating :horror:
Oh yeah I've made quick :wine: they are a bit like sangria ... mostly ... doog :yes: but neber Great :nono:
That recipe is boosting the fermentation with added sugar which is fine but I doubt it would be all used up in a few weeks which would make the result candy sweet :yucky:
Also alcohol would be particularly bad for B :therethere:
But yeah it's easy :yes: just crush the grapes, and put the squish in a dark place preferably with a bubbler attachment and wait for the :mushrooms: to does there thang :angel: I liked to add champagne yeast to mine but :beerme: yeast werks doog too :yes:
The real trick is making sure yer squish is covered and the bottle purged with CO2 afores any :blob: can grow. It's basically a race between the :blob: s and :mushrooms: one will give you wine and the other vinegar or gross bio slime :blob:
Iffen yer worried ... lower a dixie cup into yer container with a little sugar water and bread yeast. This will start the :cleanse: ing process and you can remove the cup in a day or two when the squish has become active.

I did not say the opening of the 100% clogged would be a doog thing. :nonono:
I said it would be like a "bonus flow". Meaning it's no longer needed but would be a um...bonus.
Bonus: noun ; something in addition to what is expected or strictly due: :pie:
And yes, sarcasm font was fully activated. :duh: And iffin I had to be outside all day as in a boj...I would consider contraptions for cooling. But here... I can simply goes indoors. :wiggle: There is plenty o' farmin to does inside and out. :yes:
And I ain't olde. :buttkick: Not even with the fancy olde english speeling. :chuckle:
Happy :sparkle: 8/8! :sparkle:
It's lawn day here. :yes: Twas apposta be mowed on Almost Friday but the :rain: has gotten us off schedule. But we're apposta have more :rain: tomorrow & the next day so it's likely gonna be today....or Friday. But the rain has her looking pretty shaggy & she's in a place where peoples axshully see how shaggy her lawn is. :rofl: Very much unlike here.

Bonus ≠ Doog ... who nude :dunno:
Also not so muches a bonus neether :therethere: Even iffen the rest of the artery remained viable {which is unlikely after so long} adding a split to a pipe reduces flow which would mean a SUDDEN rise in pressure in order to maintain sufficient volume to both pipes OR a SUDDEN reduction in volume to the collaterals resulting in the angina agin :whistle:

Scooby Doo went over the rainbow bridge. :candle:
And Shaggy...boy oh boy Shaggy is looking shaggy. :chuckle: He still seems 'fine' just quite old. He has been sleeping on top of me every night for awhile now. And iffin I roll over & he's not on top he's squished right up against my head & neck & tickling me with his old man long whiskers. :rofl: :wub:
Fine. Wasted fan maybe. :woe: And increased protein & maybe potassium. :pie:
Here I thunk it might be about more water or possibly less water. Or maybe somethin like this:
...some simple and effective tricks can help you feel lighter in the summer. Start by drinking a lot of water, about two liters distributed throughout the day. Avoid carbonated drinks, avoid salt in your meals and include celery and cucumber in your diet. Do not stop exercising, but remember that high-impact exercises are not the most recommended. If you notice inflammation in the abdomen area, exercises such as pilates or hypopressive exercises can help you improve.
:rofl: From: https://english.elpais.com/society/2022-07-27/the-heat-can-make-you-gain-up-to-four-kilos-how-to-avoid-liquid-retention.html
I do know that Coke makes it much much worse. It's easy to tell that now cuz I rarely ever drink soda of any kind.
So I noes iffin I grab a Coke (Mom keeps them :chuckle: ) I will suffer the consequences& rarely is it worth it.
I does need more celery tho. :yes: And maybe even celery juice. :yes:
So fine...the 100% blocked artery is toast. :candle: :bye:
And I am certain that the others are diminishing or even gone. :yes:
But, alas, we gotta wait a year for another stress test. :pie:
It's raining here now. :umbrella: And we gots more flood watching... :gheart:
It shore is GREEN tho... :bliss: :wubsigh: :gstars:
:spring: green which is poifect cuz the weather has been downright springy, too. :jump:

:therethere:
I was really just referencing the kartune characterz ya noes :buttkick:
"Here I thunk it might be about more water or possibly less water. Or maybe somethin like this: "
Yeah that's asplaining common symptoms of heat based fluid retention and how to treat them :roll: The celery ffuts is just a diuretic also wasn't celery linked to hyperthyroidism :scratch:
Anywho, ya prolly has ubber low cholesterol which may sound doog but it reduces yer overall hormone levelz which makes them goes out of balance easy :zanna: But a big reason many wimminz have retention issues is low blood protein levelz {albumin} PLUS insulin resistance ... but on Dr.E's protocol that last one prolly isn't an issue :nono: So protein :cow: and Potassium for the most likely fix and a nice fan or some form of cooling for a symptom treatment :angel:
I don't think diuretics are a particularly doog choice :nono: and honestly as soon as you coolz down iffen it's heat edema you should (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif) the fluid as quickly as iffen you'd taken a diuretic. Taking diuretics afores the fluid builds up just guaranteez yer under hydrated which seemz like a bad idea in Hellz Pairadice :horror: but yer choice :oz:

I don't think diuretics are a particularly doog choice :nono: and honestly as soon as you coolz down iffen it's heat edema you should (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/peepants.gif) the fluid as quickly as iffen you'd taken a diuretic.

It's now FRIDAY! :excited: And our 'last' dry day til Toozday. :uhoh: More :rain: starting tonight & thru Monday. :faint:
I gots :bean: soup started already & then gonna go mow Mom's. Come back & mow with :b: til dark.
Our grass is so high that the couple (Swami, mostly) cats who dare leave the veranda walk through it like Tennessee Walking Horses. :eek:
And no, it's not my :mushrooms: overlords, it's my soul that doesn't want to eat animules. Again, I've been that way since childhood. It makes me sad. Period. And :cow: and :pig: make me break out in hives. :rofl:
Now B on the other hand would any & all meats tout de suite iffin he didn't believe it would kill him.
:mushrooms: overlords have not quelled his cravings at all. :nonono:
I believe eventually we will settle into a Mediterranean-like lifestyle...I'ze talking prolly years down the road.
But now, believe it or not, he is gaining too much weight. I noes it's not helpful nor healthful.
AND...he deduced that the initial drastic weight loss...and subsequent gain back...directly correlated to him starting, then stopping, Otezla. :righton: So the stopping allowed for the initial weight gain & now the sitting all day (desk boj) has aided & abetted since then.
:crazy:
Gotta finish my soup :run:

:dunno: :b: eats a wide variety of plant based deliciousness. :yes: He does add maple syrup (real tree juice) and a sprinkling of walnuts to his overnight oats. And agave on his daily berry bowl.
I'ze telling you...just as I said it wasn't 'stress' causing his elevated BP way back when... it's the sit-down boj. :yes:
His body changes radically fast...for doog and for dab.
So last night I made stuffed peepers with brown rice/lentils/flax meal/tomato sauce mostly. With a tomato roux.
It was delicious 'cept my stuffing was too soft. It oozed out of the :banana: peepers. So I'm thinking I had too much lentils that were prolly cooked too well. So greater rice to lentil ratio next time. :check: Anything else that might help somethin like that firm up? Maybe more flax? (I used the last of what I had...not very much)
And yeah... we hadded no :electrocute: :bsl: It just came back on like a :boom: :rofl:

NASA says it doesn't matter. https://climate.nasa.gov/explore/ask-nasa-climate/2949/why-milankovitch-orbital-cycles-cant-explain-earths-current-warming/
:pie:
And yes, brown rice tho we does eat white rice as well. :yes: And yes I heard the stock up message. :yes: We are in a 3 month no doof tax holiday. August, September, October. It's not alotta monies but it is an incentive to stock up on ffutses.
Ok...desk boj esplanation....
Firstly, we both recognize that everybody is different & what is true for one person is not necessarily true for another? :yes:
Ok...good.
:b: is a non-sit-still hooman by nature. :yes: That is a fact. He's always been squirmy, fidgety & most of all, restlos.
Everything in his body flows betterer when he is in movement. So when he sits for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, everything (blood, in this case) STOPS moving. :uhoh:
So peecture blood flowing through somewhat clogged arteries. :horror:
As he moves, the blood is able to pass through much like the way you hafta shake or tap on certain essential oil bottles to get the oil to pass through the opening. :yes:
But as he sits...prolonged sittage...the blood becomes much more sluggish & sticks to the artery walls cuz it's moving so slowly much like iffin you hold the same essential oil bottle upside down without movement & a drop might drop out...eventually.
So now... the sluggish blood flow & ever increasing narrowing of the artery walls lead to ...
hypertension! :duh:
He also sits with slouched posture (we're working on that :sigh: ) and is really not a great breather. :nonono:
Fwiw I think everyone shoulda had to play an instrument & learn doog breathing & posturing at a young age. :yes:
But he comes from a family of slouchers. :sigh: They usta criticize me for sitting up straight saying, "Sit back...relax. You look so uncomfortable. Etc, etc.". :gaah:
So no :woo: just common sense. :wedgie:
Prolonged sitting (for him) leads to hypertension, increasing clogginess & weight gain due to slower metabolism.
He also snacks non-stop as he sits. At Euro he snacked on bad things... candy, homemade chex mix, chips, whatevers...
Now he snacks on raw veggies :chuckle: , oil-free hummus, lots of fruits, leftover cooked veggies, etc.
He eats cuz he's bored. And he bores easily. :chuckle: But once he learns a boj he's pretty much over it. :rofl:
IF he had a walk around, stand up, overly busy, active boj he would not eat. Like when he was at the nursery...soaking wet with sweat all day long, happily existing on water & fruit moslty. Or here when he's running around with the weedeater for hours or digging or weeding.... he barely eats at all & his BP runs around 120/70, oftentimes lower. But when he comes home from work, after sitting all day, I can see it on his face...in his color...and sure nuff his BP will be 140-150/80ish.
Point is, sedentation (or is it sedentaryism?) is not his friend. :nonono: He, more than most, needs to move. :run:

:pie: "
Cool :thumbs: so I'm not the only one who cannot read :buttkick:
:hello: the whole point was heat due to climate change :woe: AND without hoomanz mucking about eberyone would be :shiver: ing right now :matt: Dang you hoomanz :fist:
:chuckle: the really :hysterical: part is that people blame the industrial revolution BUT that's not the BIG contributor :nono:
:secret: it's pHarmin :muaha: ... srsly :yes:
"So no :woo: just common sense. :wedgie: "
:woe: yer common sense is literally the definition of :woo: :wall:
First of all you are pre-assuming clogged arteries and that sitting has the same effect for ebery type of clog in ebery location PLUS blood :suck: for whatever passes for reason in yer :rbrain: somehow ages or changes when it's not moving quite as fast :dunno:
No :pullhair:
Iffen his :heart: is weak and blood pools in his legs, or iffen he has a "metabolic disease" OR iffen his chair restricts blood flow while sitting THEN yes :yes: You are assuming all aspects of a sedentary lifestyle are concentrated in the single act of him sitting down :woe: No it don't werk like that :nono:
Now afores you start googling hypertension due to sitting :roll: ... yes it's a noed thang due to sedementationing and the cure is literally to stand up ebery hour for a minute or two ... it's why most smate watches has a no movement reminder ... they goes off after an hour when you've been sitting too long.
Also 150/80 isn't terrible when just getting back :nono: Blood pressure has a diurnal cycle which peaks in the afternoon PLUS he needs to rest for atleast 5 to 10 minutes afores taking the bp ... which should be done while ... Du Dun DUNN ... while he's sitting :buttkick:
FYI: a better gauge of healthy bp is after :egg: sercise :flex: git a bp right away ... the systolic should be ~200 THEN wait 20 to 30 minutes and the systolic should drop to ~130 :angel:
Also iffen he has muskles :flex: the Diastolic number is almost always too high when measured with an automated bp meter. This is one of the reasons I use an aneroid sphygmomanometer :yes: That and they do not need calibration ebery 6 months. :secret: the problem is the bicep ... iffen there is any definition it forms a hollow over the brachial artery so contact is lost with the pressure cuff sensor too early resulting in oddly high diastolic pressure.
"So now... the sluggish blood flow & ever increasing narrowing of the artery walls lead to ...
hypertension! :duh: "
In case I was unclear ... NO :gaah: that would literally result in hypertension while he's asleep ... and yes it is a thang for some people :yes: but nermal peoplez are at their lowest bp when in deep sleep which by the way results in the MOST sluggish blood :suck: movement :oz:
"Now he snacks on raw veggies :chuckle: , oil-free hummus, lots of fruits, leftover cooked veggies, etc."
:horn: Learn about autophagy ... fer realz :yes:
Here's the bullet points :guns:
K I'll stop :blah: :blah: ing but I still thinxz his bp :bump: s are stress related and yer asplination is um ... well let's just politely sez ... no sensicalz were harmed in the making of yer unerstanzing :thumbs:

Dang poor Maui :candle: and Lahina :bawling:
:pie: "
Cool :thumbs: so I'm not the only one who cannot read :buttkick:
:hello: the whole point was heat due to climate change :woe: AND without hoomanz mucking about eberyone would be :shiver: ing right now :matt: Dang you hoomanz :fist:
:chuckle: the really :hysterical: part is that people blame the industrial revolution BUT that's not the BIG contributor :nono:
:secret: it's pHarmin :muaha: ... srsly :yes:
"So no :woo: just common sense. :wedgie: "
:woe: yer common sense is literally the definition of :woo: :wall:
First of all you are pre-assuming clogged arteries and that sitting has the same effect for ebery type of clog in ebery location PLUS blood :suck: for whatever passes for reason in yer :rbrain: somehow ages or changes when it's not moving quite as fast :dunno:
No :pullhair:
Iffen his :heart: is weak and blood pools in his legs, or iffen he has a "metabolic disease" OR iffen his chair restricts blood flow while sitting THEN yes :yes: You are assuming all aspects of a sedentary lifestyle are concentrated in the single act of him sitting down :woe: No it don't werk like that :nono:
Now afores you start googling hypertension due to sitting :roll: ... yes it's a noed thang due to sedementationing and the cure is literally to stand up ebery hour for a minute or two ... it's why most smate watches has a no movement reminder ... they goes off after an hour when you've been sitting too long.
Also 150/80 isn't terrible when just getting back :nono: Blood pressure has a diurnal cycle which peaks in the afternoon PLUS he needs to rest for atleast 5 to 10 minutes afores taking the bp ... which should be done while ... Du Dun DUNN ... while he's sitting :buttkick:
FYI: a better gauge of healthy bp is after :egg: sercise :flex: git a bp right away ... the systolic should be ~200 THEN wait 20 to 30 minutes and the systolic should drop to ~130 :angel:
Also iffen he has muskles :flex: the Diastolic number is almost always too high when measured with an automated bp meter. This is one of the reasons I use an aneroid sphygmomanometer :yes: That and they do not need calibration ebery 6 months. :secret: the problem is the bicep ... iffen there is any definition it forms a hollow over the brachial artery so contact is lost with the pressure cuff sensor too early resulting in oddly high diastolic pressure.
"So now... the sluggish blood flow & ever increasing narrowing of the artery walls lead to ...
hypertension! :duh: "
In case I was unclear ... NO :gaah: that would literally result in hypertension while he's asleep ... and yes it is a thang for some people :yes: but nermal peoplez are at their lowest bp when in deep sleep which by the way results in the MOST sluggish blood :suck: movement :oz:
"Now he snacks on raw veggies :chuckle: , oil-free hummus, lots of fruits, leftover cooked veggies, etc."
:horn: Learn about autophagy ... fer realz :yes:
Here's the bullet points :guns:
- Blockage reversal utilizes an autophagic pathway.
- Autophagy is predominantly shown/known done from a ketotic state
- Dr.E's protocol is a glycolytic diet
- Autophagy in a glycolytic state {as far as I noes } requires a 30% reduction or more in calories below optimum.
- Gaining weight ... regardless of bp or activity level ... prolly not in the 30% reduction window.
K I'll stop :blah: :blah: ing but I still thinxz his bp :bump: s are stress related and yer asplination is um ... well let's just politely sez ... no sensicalz were harmed in the making of yer unerstanzing :thumbs:

The alternative IS...
WRONG! :throwburger: :bsl:
Thing is, psyence or no sighence, I has very doog intuition. I simply knows ffuts. And I knows what I knows. :pie:
I KNOW that sitting all day is detrimental to his condition.
But you're right. :righton: As usual. :roll:
:bsl:
Tomorrow is the new :moon: already! :faint: Seems we just had the :fullmoon: a few days ago. :faint:
It's doog timing tho cuz I gots to get to seeding for :fall:
But today I gots to :frolic: High of 77 today & tomorrow! :faint: Seems we've had more days below average than above this year. And as for Milankovitch....he's dead. :candle: :rofl:
But really, truth is, nobody knows all there is to know about this planet & where she's headed.
All I noes is that we could definitely treat her better. :yes:
Native American understood that & they had no internet :nonono: and no :book: s and nothing other than hmm... intuition. :rainbow:
And Maui :gheart: Yeah. I'm not conspiracy-minded but boy oh boy... I read where a developer has already offered to buy up all the charred land. :sigh: Maybe they mean well. And maybe they don't. :sigh: But :dangjustdang: that fire just moved so fast!
A friend of Chloe's is a US Forestry Dude who works with a chainsaw most often at Land Between the Lakes.
But recently he was sent to Canada as a fireman, & from there on to Montana (I believe) ...and then he was headed to Maui but before he could even get there it was pretty much too late. :crazy:

K, Sig.... I gots a short :book: with a question at the end. :chuckle:
We have a string of dry :sun: ny days starting today so I was gonna glyphosate.
What, praytell?
The drive. :yes:
You see a couple weeks or so ago we gotted a LOT of new gravel. :wiggle: Limestone. And it sparkles like diamonds in the sun. :sparkle:
The drive is half a mile long from road to them's house. .5 mile. About 1/4 of that is blacktop & the rest is gravel. In the blacktop there are some large clumps of persistent grass. And due to all the rain the gravel is now growing some serious grass & weed as well. (The spreader dude....who did it for free... spread it too wide & thin).
So I carefully measure & fill my 2 gallon poison-only sprayer & went skipping merrily down the drive, singing all the way. It's just so freaking beautiful out there it makes one skip. :chuckle:
Anyway....was gonna start at the bottom on the blacktop & work my way up.
I got there. Pumped one, two, three... then :boom:
:pey: It sploded. Well, teck :nickel: ly it burst :chuckle: ....a large horizontal crack near the top.
But it splattered all over my legs. :no:
I still had most of my 2 gallons of poison so what to does? The best I could do. I poured it on the grassy bits in the blacktop & was able to finish it off on a large (1'x 5' ) swath of grass in the middle of the gravel.
Then I walked back up...tossed the sprayer (yeah, in Tanasi we put everything in the landfills :sigh: ) & went straight to the shower.
When B gets home we're going out to get another sprayer. :wiggle:
So....question:
My left Muck boot got quite a bit of glyphosate down inside it. Seems my left leg was nearest the :boom: & got the most splash.
Do I need to wash that boot? (please say no) I won't wear it again til tomorrow & it will surely be dry by then.
I'd just rather not get them that wet on the inside. Recently I left them on the veranda where they gotted rain inside...so much that I poured one boot out...and it took an entire day of fanning (I put them on a foot stool with the opening towards a fan so it blew straight inside) to dry them back out. Wet boots defeat the porpoise. :rofl:
AND... :b: just sent me photos of a semi trailer that collapsed under the weight of their forklift inside the loading dock. :faint:
It's a log jam. :chuckle: They only gots one dock cuz they're a tiny factry. And B is a receiving quality inspector so if nothing's coming in he gots nothing to do. :wiggle:

WRONG!
:spitcoffee:
I feel most of the blockaging occurred in the 5 year Euro sit-down boj...when he also gained alotta weight. And when he first had hypertension.
Seriously, before that boj his BP averaged around 115/68. The vampires at the blood bus always commented how he had "the BP of a teenager".
And I feel that the nursery likely saved his life. :treehug: He sweated off 30+ pounds that first summer. :heat:
Or at least it saved him from open :heart: surgery. :yes: I 'see' it. The :sun: and :heat: and environment (plants!) helped foster growth of the collaterals as well as detox (cleansed) his entire body, including blood.
Anyway...as we both noes the blockages began long, long ago (& far, far away :chuckle: ). The Euro sitting (and stress towards the end) allowed for the critical mass to occur. If you recall, he was in the ER with high BP and chest pains right before they "eliminated his position" & even with IV meds they could not get his BP to go down for 6-8 hours. That was a big missed clue.
That was February of 2020.
He started at the nursery in March & did great up until December when he 'pullled somethin' in his chest. I do still believe there was an injury...he was lifting very heavy tables from ground level & then up to chest high & over into a flatbed trailer. Fiddy of them. :faint: He still swears he felt the 'pop'.
The psoriasis was also full flare at that time and that's when we tried the Pagano diet. LOTS of romaine, tuna, chicken breast, no nightshades. LOTS of olive oil & LOTS of vegetables & fruits. I still miss all those faux Caesar salads. I used Greek yogurt, parmesan, garlic, lemon, anchovy paste. Homemade croutons. We ate Caesar salads with tuna 2 or 3x a week. :yes: :drool:
It wasn't until the 14+ hour (night!) shifts at Dana that his symptoms progressed enough to see a cardiologist.
And in 11/21 he ended up in the cath lab & the rest as they say...is history. :book: :pie:
And yes, I've read up on autophagy. :yes: As per your initial implorization. :yes: And I've esplained it to him. :yes:
He keeps saying he's fine. He says he knows he's getting better. Knock wood but it's been almost a year since his last significant 'episode'.
In totally unrelated newses I can't help but laugh as our hummingbirds keep flying around like fighter jets. Buzzing my head...in & out of the posts of the veranda. :rofl: :wub: The cats are mostly disinterested. :cheer:
Boot dryer. :check: My mom axshully suggested a blow dryer. :yes: But the fan DID work. :yes:

:dunno: :gheart:
It's difficult knowing what's going on cuz he's a 21 year old 'child'. Not technically disabled, but not a typical 21 year old either.
He lives with his Mom & Step Dad about an hour from here. His dad is Zen Aunt's son & he lives here in town with his second wife.
The dad has a hard time staying in the loop cuz the Mom & Step-Dad don't share information easily. So mostly all we noes is what Matthew himself tells his Granny (ZA).

Tazzles!!!!! :excited: :hearts: I been thinking about you. :sparkle: Curious to hear how everything in your world is going.
Canukia has been burning up as well. :sigh: :gheart:
And Sig... :woe: I don't have time to properly reply but let's just say that you are both wrong and right. :yes: :pie:
You just overcomplicate what I 'see' simply. Autophagy :yes: at the nursery cuz he went from 5AM til 6PM dripping wet with sweat & subsisting on water & a bit of fruit. :yes:
And yes, he quit :smokes: at exactly 50 years of age. :yes: He also quit pork & beef about 6 months before quitting smoking. :yes:
His dad died at age 56. He gotted on the cardiac train at around the age of 52 or 53....we were in college still when he had the first stents.
So all that matters to me is that over the past 10+ years he/we have taken numerous steps of mitigation without even realizing. :sparkle:
I still says his body type is much more like his mother. :yes: She had no heart problems, no diabetes (his dad was borderline), nada.
She died from a type of airborne herpes likely contracted in Washington State. It went straight to her brain. :sigh:
...
K...got petstracted for awhile. Gotta :run:

K so if fruit kills Mr Autophagy then how does the Esselstyn diet achieve autophagy? :scratch:
Have you ever seen Essy's oatmeal? :faint: He puts 2 :banana: :banana: & LOTS of berries over his raw oats with lots of oat milk (we learned the hard way that many oat milks contain oil :sigh: ). AND...he usually eats that twice a day. :faint:
He's a big fruit pusher which is prolly the main thing that has kept B compliant.
I buy a LOT of fruit. :sigh:
And the pork & beeflosness is common knowledge (I noes...doesn't mean it's truth :roll: ) but he stopped becuz of Bill Clinton who fully transitioned to Esselstyn after having worked with Dr Ornish. But it was widely circulated that pork & beef were the worst contributors to sticky cholesterol...LDL. And B knew in 2011 that his LDL was high so he wanted to prevent going his Dad's route.
We do the best we can, Sig. :sigh: For mere mortals there is a LOT of information to wade through...a LOT of conflicting information...a LOT of differing opinions. And they're all 'right' and they're al 'wrong'. :gaah: So eeerbody gotta do what they do.
We are proud of what we do & how we do cuz we see that 90% of cardiac patients here continue eating southern fried doof, after a brief period of 'healthy' eating. My late uncle's idea of eating healthy was adding a salad (LOTs of ranch dressing) to his fried catfish dinner. :sigh:
We're not super strict any more. :nonono: Quality of life becomes a thing as well. Like tonight...we are going to a Japanese restaurant for our 39th anniversary. :faint: B is looking forward to the katsu chicken already. :yes: I might eat fish...might eat tofu. But their shrimp tempura is amazing! :chuckle: Jacki has had it & I have tasted hers.
Everything I cook at home is oillos & mostly Esselstyn compliant. Tofu is our biggest 'cheat'....Dr E says it has too much fat but I use silken for 'sour cream' and bake extra firm tofu or crumble it for tacos. We also eat frozen yogurt which is super low fat but also dairy. :yes:
But when we are out we will eat Mexican (cheese, no meat, tho once in awhile B has chicken) or Asian (less frequently cuz too much oil) or once every 3 weeks or more he gets a Biggie Bag at Wendy's...a real treat... it's a baby burger, 4 chicken nuggets, baby fries & drink for $5! I hafta have a fish sammich from another drive-thru cuz I cannot/will not eat burger or chicken. :bawling: And sometimes I can't eat fish :ashamed: so then I gotta does the Impossible Whopper or bean burrito at Taco Bell. Our choices here are very limited. But eating out is a rarity any more becuz of the local choices.
So no need to fear us wasting away on strict vegan diets cuz we ain't strict vegans. We even eat :egg: Like maybe twice a month on average. Sometimes ya just feel like you need 'somethin'. :yes: And my veggie-loaded unfried rice with :egg: is quite satisfying.
No worries...we're not slippery sloping. :nonono: Quite the opposite. We are more committed than ever but also have learned how to be more relaxed about it. :yes: Seriously...in the beginning B & I both felt like if he ate a :burger: he'd drop dead of a heart attack instantly. :chuckle: We knew that was not the case, but that's how we felt. Pressured & stressed, especially if we were out somewhere.
Gotta go bust my :butt: cleaning this Cat House for a few hours & then we're meeting at Mom's to go to dinger in Jackson. The usual suspects in tow....Mom, ZA, Chloe & the 3 of us. :hearts:

"K so if fruit kills Mr Autophagy then how does the Esselstyn diet achieve autophagy? :scratch: "
I has no idea :nono: the only method I'm aware of is "active calorie restriction " of 30% to 40% and that was for mice. Basically it's like always feeling hungry and getting just enough doof to keep going. So a 2000 calorie a day diet would be 1200 to 1400 calories.
The thang is Autophagy is a big BIG subject and I've been ffutsing with it since 2016 when Yoshinori Ohsumi won the nobel prize for it and it SUDDENLY :boom: it's the biggest health topic in decades AND asplains sooooo muches PLUS has sooooo muches potential :bliss:
Like I keep sezing ... when you started Dr.E's protocol youse ALL dropped weight fast :faint: This suggests you all gone done keto the hard way :horror: Ketosis does NOT mean autophagy BUT you are much MUCH closer to the point that likely ebery night that B went to bed hangry he was very likely doesing deep autophagy. Atleast that's my guess :dunno:
At any rate I'm not trying to tellz you you all :suck: at diets ... you does of course but I anint trying to sez that :nono: I'm not even trying to claim that I unerstanz why Dr.E's protocol werks :scratch: ... it shouldn't but clearly does :huh: That's literally why I'm so intrigued by it :yes:
From the acceptedd medical community side of these thangs Blockages Do NOT reverse :nono: So HOW they reverse has not been well established :sigh: what little I did find was that the foam cell and "bullet particles" are digested by lysosomes during autophagy. I'm not saying anything other than this is what I've learned :yes: It don't mean it's the only way BUT likely the only way that has been so far elucidated :dunno:
That said it's possible that the foam cell and particulates are quickly removed and as one might :egg: pect the calcification slooowly erode away :bye: I has no clue I only noes the plaque foam cell part is digested by lysosomes ... the rest is still speculation. The only concept validating data point is that one guy who gotted an MRI with a 40% blockage like B and then 18 months later an MRI that showed nuthin :thumbs:
Youses are ALL free to does what you likes :yes: really :angel: I has a tendency to overwhelm peoplez with data and concepts which makes them thinxz I noes what I'm :blah: ing about. I does noes but few thangs in psighence is conclusive. So yes I thinxz eberythang youse does is wrong ... living in durt country ... indulging in plant materialz :hippy: heck I even wanted to point out to Pan that Veganz have a notoriously high level of depression BUT I doesn't :nono: 'cuz eberyone is free to choose and beleeb what they wantz no mater how stoopid :rbrain: :woo: it might :bee: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif)
Srsly I'm just making sure you unerstanz or as close as youse is able about all of the details and their effects ... basically a siguie brand PSA :om:
Dr.E's protocol is nigh miraculous for CAD :yes: minor variations can have major and sometimez dire consequences. Peoplez who are not sure shouldn't stray from the path he's set :nonono: otherz can prolly git a way with a little straying :angel: Yer choices are yer own :om:
On another note ... srsly most of the diet ffuts I :blah: :blah: about in this thread earlier was meant for durt momma :roll: For B all I was sezing was read up on autophagy :yes: but iffen he's not interested it's OK :angel:
"Seriously...in the beginning B & I both felt like if he ate a :burger: he'd drop dead of a heart attack instantly. :chuckle: "
Um in the beginning that was literally pretty much the case :therethere: ... like the :cheese: samich event :horror: High levelz of inflammation :bump: ed by greese and endothelials shutting down NO production ... then add in the blockages and yeah not doog timez :nonono:
NOW with greater vascular elasticity and diameter PLUS lowered inflammatory markers yeah some cheating is prolly fine :yes:

The doog news is that area could use 2 or 3 more inches of :rain: the bad news is they'll git that ... in an hour :sofa: ... and it wont stop there :horror:
I'm doog in sigue mansion :wave: and at most can :egg: pect some sprinkles Munday: and a little :windy: :matt:

Down south it's purty much all just a new lake :whistle: though it looks reminiscent of China the major :rain: has passed and it's draining more or less nicely :angel:
:yawn: :coffee:
Well atleast it's cooler mid 70's for a day ... oooh and it's a kale day :yesss: ... for the cooler not the kale :yucky: Ya noes you'd thinxz dad would be tired of kale twice a week but he actually likes the :carp: :no: BUT he does has some of the Bestest of the BEST :tomatoe: s :thumbs: so I guess it's a trade off :yes:
Oh and he's decided no morez growing kale :nonono: it's better fresh from the market AND takes up less veggie jail space which is needed for tomatoes 'cuz it would be wrong to prune the blueberries :roll:
Yeah I gots nuthin :offtobed:

Yesterday, I took Mom to a dermatologist ( uselos trip but she wanted to go :chuckle: ) and then to lunch & then we had to pick up B who had a SUDDEN brake fluid leak & who's truck is still at the hopsickle.
But this.... :hysterical: ebery night that B went to bed hangry he was very likely doesing deep autophagy.
WRONG! :buttkick: :spitcoffee:
He wouldn't go to bed hangry....he wouldn't tolerate it at all. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it when I was trying to satiate him but he'd eat 2 or 3 slices of bread on his way to bed. :yes: :faint:
I thinks we losted weight due to the lack of oil. :yes: We usta eat a lot more olive oil than I realized. :scared:
And the lack of :cheese: , :egg: and peanut butter. :yes: Fats! :yes:
And we've gained weight cuz I cave to B & J & we have too many (fatlos) sweets. :yes: But still 'empty' calories.
Just my theory. :asilly:
And no worries... I'm totally used to being overwhelmed by information from you. :hysterical:
It's just what it is. :wiggle: But I can handle it. :pie:
It's a super high intensity week already. :wtf: :aaahhh:
Thankfully, everything in my widdle circle is doog but everything 'out there' is amped up to the max... including Mother Earth. :scared: :faint:
And... I'd rather not say this out loud but it feels as if another massive :quake: could be in store.
:enorah: gotted a 5.1 :faint: But I noes that's just a rumble in CA. :chuckle:
But we haven't had a global real big :quake: in quite some time.
Astrologically we move from Fire to Earth tomorrow, I thinks. :earthheart:

:woe: Yes :yes: :duh: but srsly learn how your or atleast a hooman body werks :thwack:
Bullet points :guns: from ... k where is we ...
The whole point is that Dr.E's protocol is a glycolytic pathway NOT ketotic. Iffen foam cell removal involved lysosomes via a autophagic process then some level of autophagy is required. The reason CAD is considered irreversible is because most people live in a continuous glycolytic state with only minimal autophagy.
So B either healed the 40% blockage or has adapted to live with it :dunno:
Anywho that's my point :oz:

I still thinxz you use the term weight wrong :roll: Too muches sweets :bump: s insulin and conversion to fat which is the same triglycerides as the :cheese: and oils ... mostly ...
The main difference is the :mushrooms: adaptation in the gut biome ... hoomanz cannot digest plant matter without a heaping helping of :mushrooms: which is why shifting from animulez to shrubbery can so dramatically change fat content. Conversely hoomanz "can" eat meat and survive without :mushrooms: ... though some :mushrooms: and :blob: s make thangs more pleasant.
As mentioned in ... k where was we ... hoomanz are designed to run on engine #2 {fat} ... NOT #1 carbs.
Anywho iffen ya thinxz about it ... :lbrain: not :rbrain: ... you'll unerstanz why it makes sense that you losteded fat in the beginning and started gaining it back ... it aint rocket :brain: surgery :nono:
Oh yeah ... durt momma :therethere: ... her A1C is prolly at the point where skin is thinning, and skin tagging is happening as well as odd mole like cholesterol deposits ... it's a thang :therethere:
FYI: I didn't mention it afores but a couple of months ago my Dad's dermatologist said yer cured :buttkick: ... "don't come back for atleast a year" :hysterical: Srsly real story :yes: Apparently 1 eberythang wrong with him was 'cuz of diet and lack of :cow:
He still wont eat pork or :cow: :sigh: BUT I :bump: ed his chicken and :turkey: and even (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) to compensate THEN literally gotted him more than a dozen gummy supplements PLUS my own siguie brand nutritional gummies 8)
Oh and his hair was mostly gray :blonde: BUT now he's Zebra coloured with dark bands :angel:
Oh yeah we should be hasing a big :quake: in KalipHorniyaz sometime ... soon ... we hasn't had nuthin in decades :darn:
Yeah :enorah: 's :wheee: 5.1 barely counts for anythin though I still thinxz it's the SUDDEN weight of all that water ... and yeah it was a lot LOT of water :horror:

- You only lose fat when blood sugar and glucagon supplies are low
- When glucose options are low insulin decreases and fat stores can be released
- Fat is basically triglycerides
- Triglycerides are what that 2nd engine runs on {Ketosis}
- Autophagy is more easily achieved from ketosis

Seriously??? The weight of the water?
Who sounds :woo: now??? :bsl:
We gets 3-5" on the regular. 8" just a couple weekends ago. And it causes the same areas to flood. Mayo Bottom (for reals :chuckle: ), Trezevant Bottom... both main roads which become impassable. Creeks & rivers spill their banks.
But oddly.... :no: associated :quake: s. :rofl:
If anything triggered it, it was likely the :frantic: mental states of peoples preparing for the first ever Tropical storm.
Now that's doog, solid :woo:
:bsl:
So are you saying that if :b: had never changed his diet from back when (meatloaf, butter on everything, :burger: s, hot dogs, :fries: , etc, etc) AND never :smokes: that he likely would not have developed CAD? :huh:
Cuz I noes lots of overweight peoples who never smoked AND developed CAD. :yes:
Of courses, diabetes is the big one here. But the CAD shows itself shortly afterwards.
As for your dad... I thinks it's the greens addition and not the meats. :yes: :arugula: :kale: :lettuce: :kalenights:
B's grey spot has dramatically lessened & his hair had gotten thicker whereas it had become thinning.
For reals, early spring I told him he needed a hat or sunscreen so as not to :sun: burn his head. But now...it's totally filled back in. No hat necessary.
And J ack i had a large population of black moles on her upper back (she's always had LOTS of moles period) and since the dietary change they have all faded to light brown & many of them are gone. :faint: I cannot say for sure that her hair is thickened but it's not falling out any more and it appears to be thickerer. For reals the most drastic changes are in her. :righton: She's also more mobile...able to get down on the floor (with a hand on furniture or something) whereas she could not do that before. MUCH more flexible, joint-wise.
And Mom is still dealing with what she initially thunk as spider bites but as they continued to spread it became more likely that it was fungal. A prescription anti-fungal cleared it up...mostly, which is why she kept the appointment.
:b: no longer craves meat of any kind but he still really likes chicken & tuna & occasionally longs for pepperoni. :chuckle: Even :turkey: pepperoni which is what he mostly ate for the past 10 years. He seriously loves sausages & braunschweiger, liverwurst, hard salami & all the :yucky: ffutses he grew up on. :yak:
I appreciate the lessons. :book: But I say there are just so many variables. So many peoples who 'break the rules' & have no issues at all. So many who do the 'right' things & have major issues. :crazyeyes: Becuz...everybody's different!
Quick question...is it possible to OD a :cat: on :cs: ??
I been giving Stripes (one of the 17 year olds) straight :cs: in a small water dish cuz she is sneezing & congested. She has done this to varying degrees all her life. Like her mother, Sunny :wub: , I've always suspected she had feline pneumonia of even FIV but she's never been tested. I've given her the most homeopathics over the years of all the cats.

Obliviously you doesn't :buttkick: ... it's referred to as Reservoir-Induced Seismicity and is a combination of water weight, producing ground seepage and a profound :bump: in isotatic pressure due to ground sinkage.
Yer level of :rain: is nermal for youse Southern Kali hasn't had anythin like it in 80 years AND it's not just the water :nono: the low pressure system over a large area also has an effect PLUS it's long been noed that KalipHorniyaz quakes are linked to the :earth: tides and no I isn't talking the watery variety :nono: Oh and by long noed I meant by peoplez like me :buttkick:

ANY diet that restricts those in ANY meaningful way will have followers because there are quick and substantial benefits.
After that people are deficient in a HUGE number of thangs and no it's not because of modern agriculture being void of nutrients it's plants in general being deficient in nutrients. Dad was deficient for multiple decades, and what he needed most was IRON :flex: but even afores that took he needed a whole host of B vitamins and Glycine and more vitamin C in order to process that iron into chemoglobin {Awesome typo stayz}. Then once the hemoglobin began circulating eberythang else was needed :frantic:
In order to compensate for not eating :cow: I literally had to get him a dozen supplements THEN in order to have him take them daily I had to get or make them in gummy form :angel:
Anywho the easy no variables :rbrain: translation ... people need to cut down on processed carbs so their blood sugar drops below 100 atleast for 8 hours a day {obliviously not iffen yer already diabetic though}, :bump: protein and either take a dozen supplements or eat more :cow: After that no :smokes: limit :wine: and the vast majority of the population will has many more healthy yearz added to their lifespan :oz:
Your mileage may vary 8)

Um....my :cs: is free! :bliss: :pie:
And it's prolly why my :cat: s live so dang long. :woe:
I haven't heard a report on Matthew in a couple days thos he was back in the ER on Friday night. :sigh:
Severe diarrhea. And fever still. But on Saturday Zen Aunt went to visit & they all went out to the 'big buffet'. :sigh:
As for diet ffuts...there is a LOT of info out there nowadays saying protein is not the 'all that' as is claimed and that axshully most Americans get too much protein. :tater: protein is the 'new' muscle building champ, they say. :dunno:
I have not eaten :cow: since 2011 (cept for 1 :burger: that gave me hives) and ate very very little alllll the years beforehand.
I can't esplain it but I just :sparkle: know :sparkle: that I am not apposta eat it cuz for me it's about subtle energy...high vibrating 'light-filled' doof to keep my body happiest & healthiest. For realz.... steamed :broccoli: is one of my favorite doofs.
And I'm not debating nor arguing cuz I really do believe that everyone is unique. I feel that :b: is not suited for a WTFPB diet long term. Now the WTFPB loyalists would argue that everyone is better off eating this way, but I disagree.
As a doof-related aside...I just realized that I has a built-in tea timer. :cheer: I poured a cup, set the stove timer as usual, came back & writ a few words then got up to get my tea. The timer hadn't gone off...I just knew. When I got to the stove there was 5 seconds left on the timer. :cheer:
And yes, your series was simple & informative. I just always has lots of questions. :ashamed: :rofl:
And who (besides you :hysterical: ) knew that :rain: causes :quake: s???
:bsl:
I noes... I noes... oversimplification & generalization of what you said. :wedgie:
Tomorrow our heat :wave: ends. Saturday the high is just to be 94. :woe: I does not know the criteria for labeling heatwave but from 94 to today's 97 doesn't seem like a significant difference to me.
Today... Mom's yard. :heat: :tractor: :may5: <----- big hat

"Um....my :cs: is free! :bliss: :pie:
And it's prolly why my :cat: s live so dang long. :woe: "
To be honest that may indeed be the reason :yes: There are a number of colloidal silver "benefits" not fully proven nor sufficiently studied such as anti-inflammatory effects or ROS {Reactive Oxygen Species} ... though the latter is an easy one for silver the question would be iffen it helps :dunno: Also one that I'm still interested in is the way silver reduces the formation of scar tissue :yes:
Ya seez scar tissue formation is an evolutionary "advantage" in that it stops you from dying BUT it is also the reason damaged bits 'n bobs cannot regenerate. By slooowing down scar formation more thangs can fully heal ... so yes :kat: longevity is a possible side effect :oz:
"I haven't heard a report on Matthew in a couple days thos he was back in the ER on Friday night. :sigh: "
:woe: Well the 28 day number {sometimez 30 day} is more like a body stress guideline point. Iffen he was over 60 there's sumthin like a 40% mortality within 2 years. Not that you die from sepsis :nono: but that yer body was so tired from fighting it that within 2 yrs sumthin else gits you ... aka All Cause Mortality ... which I noes you like so muches :therethere:
In Mathew's case the more dire issue is that it's a greater likliehood that the sepsis stage will :bump: up ... soon ... and the not noesing what, where or why makes recovery more difficult :whistle:
"As for diet ffuts...there is a LOT of info out there nowadays saying protein is not the 'all that' as is claimed and that axshully most Americans get too much protein. :tater: protein is the 'new' muscle building champ, they say. :dunno: "
What :stun: buttery websites do you git such :carp: information from :woe: there's not much protein in a :tater: to begin with it's like only 2 or 3 grams :wall: A person needs about 1/3 their pounds body weight in grams per day ... to reach the RDA minimum and that's absorbed protein.

Ya seez scar tissue formation is an evolutionary "advantage" in that it stops you from dying BUT it is also the reason damaged bits 'n bobs cannot regenerate. By slooowing down scar formation more thangs can fully heal ... so yes :kat: longevity is a possible side effect :oz:

Personally, I doesn't like restrictive diets of any kind. We only did Pogo-ing out of desperation for the psoriasis.
And of course now Esselstyn. :sigh: But J & I are not as strict. :chuckle: I just had a delicious Kani Salad for lunch. :drool:
And avocado cuke sushi. :yes:
We call ourselves "WFPB mostly". :yes: We does eat :egg: now but in very very small amounts. I used to go through a couple dozen a week & now it's closer to a dozen :egg: a month. :eggface:
And boy oh boy the guys at work seemed quite relieved that B was not abstaining from the monthly :burger: or barbeque or whatever for ethical or religious reasons. :sigh: :woe: Our roofer tolded him that they were all talking about it...wanting to know why on earth he didn't eat MEAT! :hysterical: But as beforementioned...they were axshully relieved to know it was for health reasons. :crazy:
Yeah I've seen the 'used to be vegan' ffutses & I've also seen rebuttals of same. :crazyeyes:
I don't get why it's gotta be a 'thing'. Peoples can eat meatz or not & switch back & forth & whatever & it oughta be nobody's business except the eater. :rofl:

Death from All Causes is simply Death. :rofl:
In other newses.... It's HOT AF out there!!!! :heat: 100 in the shade on the veranda and back porch. Dewpoint 77. :heat:
The air is truly thick. Peoples with respiratory issues would surely suffer. We had to do groceries today cuz they gots 4x fuel points on Fridays! :woohoo: I spent $162 which woulda been 160 fuel points or 10 cents off per gallon. Instead... the same $162 yielded 640 fuel points which is 60 cents off per gallon. :cheer: :cheer: And yep that's 6x the savings on 4x fuel points cuz they only pay out in multiples of 10.

This is the halfway point for the Hungry Ghost Festival :ghost: :banana: it started on August 16th and will goes on until September 14th ... it's basically Ancestor Worship Day/Month and peoplez burn Joss {aka paper money ... :secret: not real money money} make offerings generally harvested doof and tasty treats etc. it's a Buddhist / Taoist thang and is big in East Asia :matt:
Anywho August 30th is the BIG day where there are shows and booths and ffuts and it differs by country but the idea is to appease :boo: types in particular the wandering aka "Hungry Ghost" types and have them leave youse and or fambily alone so no bad thangs happen during the year.
In any event it's a time to show appreciation for those who have passed, be nice to :ghost: who wander by and wish them ariba derchiez until next year :bye:

Matthew is not a typical hooman. :nonono: Methinks he is fully within the autism spectrum but those around him are blind enablers. :sigh: He's been hovered over, protected, his whole life. Everyone afraid to hurt his sensitive feelings so he was never told no. He's quiet, polite, well-mannered.... but has absolutely no interest in working...no interest in anything, really.
He never has. Back in middle school they were so :excited: cuz he was gonna play trumpet. Finally :woe: Some sort of 'interest'.
So he kept at it until beginning of high school when the band director quietly asked his parents to discourage him so that he didn't hafta kick him out. :sigh: Yeah, he sucked at trumpet but was seemingly unaware. :huh:
So he lives with his mom & step dad. He's 21, has no friends, no interests tho I think he may still play video games. :dunno:
But truly he is unable to live on his own. He's never participated in family chores like mowing or gardening or even picking up toys (when he was little).
But he will do anything you ask him to, as long as you show him, step-by-step, how to does it. :crazyeyes:
So he's an adult. But not really. He's much more like Jacki than anybody will admit...much to his detriment. :sigh:
Elsewise.... our new Kami Ramen is my most favoritestest restaurant in West Tanasi. :cheer: We went on Friday night & :b: had the curried katsu chicken (Japanese! :p) and loved it. I had the wegan don. That's what the server said. :rofl: Vegan donburi. And Jacki had the same ramen she's had the first time...the vegan harvest ramen....and it is probably one of the most delicious things I ever tasted. It makes you crave more. As in, we can't wait to goes back. :cheer: We also tried the wegan bun but were underwhelmed for the price. It was good, just quite skimpy. We'll stick to donburi or ramen. :yes:
And yesterday I grass surfed! I decided that mowing (8-12" tall & gone to seed due to rain & heat) on Kobe (the Kubota) is like a combination of horseback riding & go-carting. :yes: For reals...Kobe has a great shock system & a springy seat that you adjust according to weight. So when you fly over the uneven & bumpy grass you ride him like a horse. Legs engaged, balls of feet firmly in stirrups (front of deck) & it's just like galloping & sometimes trotting. But when you make the initial pass through high grass your feetz can dangle just as if walking casually on a horse. :yes:
And the go-carting?? More like bumper cars without the contact due to the zero-turn nature of the
For realz...this mower makes al our past zero turns feel like toys. :chuckle: When I mow at Mom's with our old mower it feels like I am crawling. :rofl: Kobe goes 11.2 MPH....the others go about 6MPH. Of course here there are few places where I can safely open Kobe all the way up. There are some holes that would definitely throw me....and many many obstacles known as :treehug:
And today I gets to finish grass surfing. :happydance:
Tourists! :gaah: I am so dang spoiled. :flowerom: Even mowing in Mom's neighborhood makes me more happy to be exactly where I am. :yes: She gots feuding neighbors... Trump flags...cats galore :woe: ....stinky police :dog: in a pen (in the heat :sigh: ) next door...and 2 needy single women neighbors who have adopted Mom as their go-to....much to her chagrin. :hysterical:
And Mom lives on a corner lot on a full acre plot. :woe:

I'm sure he's written it down :yes: BUT unfortunately I'm 97.2% sure it's a 3 or 4 decade long :egg: perimental journal in minute though remarkably legible ... iffen ya can read ... handwriting :no: Also he has a BIG bulk mixed bottle and he just takes a little out and adds ffuts based on the plant type and water content then adjusted for pH. In other wurdz I don't thinxz he amemberz what's in the bulk bottle ... just treats it as the :magic: well spring and adds some spices affores serving :gaah:
Plus he also noes what to look for on :tomatoe: s :yes: he's always :check: ing the tautness and sprang of the leaves and stems and really noes how to identify nutrient issues based on the pre-flower buds ... so I noes he just wings a lot of it like a chef in the kitchen :fist:

Supposedly the likelihood of a 'real' hurrycane are slim due to el nino. Ryan Hall y'all said back when that most, if not all, would fall apart before they got near land. But he didn't even consider 'pop up' hurrycanes. :scared:
It hit as a CAt 3. Storm surge is still surging...massively. :sigh: And they expect it to remain a hurrycane as it scoots across the state.
First time ever that Valdosta Georgia is under a hurricane warning. :faint:
:gheart:
Kami Ramen's 'vegetable stock' is really doog. There's something in there that I'm not familiar with. Something along the lines of coriander maybe?
It's right next door to Books A Million :cheer: I don't buy many :book: any more but I sure do love to go in & smell the books. :wubsigh: Bookstores & coffee shops. :wub: Yum!
Here's the menu. https://www.kamiramenbar.com/ They started in Memphis & now have a location in Jackson. :cheer:
Speaking of Memphis...you knows Ford is building Blue Oval City between Memphis & Jackson! A 3600 acre mega campus that is all electric. It has the potential to drastically change the landscape. The 50ish mile stretch from Jackson to Memphis WAS extremely rural. As in iffin you didn't eat in Memphis then you gotta wait til Jackson cuz there is nothing except trees & one solar farm along I-40. So already, condos are being built, erections left & right :chuckle: ...hotels, restaurants.
It's kinda cool in a full circle sort of way. In 1959 a Ford Plant in Memphis closed, devastating the local economy.
Axshully, they didn't as much close as they moved 700 miles north to Lorain Ohio. Many employees moved to Ohio. Dad had been too young but he moved just to work at the Lorain Ford Plant, starting on his 18th bday.
So it's kinda cool that they are bringing good paying jobs back. Tho I know that wasn't their motivator. :chuckle:
It was 60 degrees this morning! :shiver: Apposta get down to 55 tonight. :shiver: My Granddaddy usta put up the wood stove when it got down to 55 at night. :rofl:
But never fear....back to mid-90s by middle of next week. :woe:

Anywho the net result is instead of watching a hurried cane barrel this way 'n that from Africa towards the US we seez tropical storms barrel this way 'n that towards the US and THEN when they seez the Gulf Hot tub :boom: hurriedcanez a plenty :gstars:

There is already a baby solar :boom: happening. The first solar installer in Paris has been in business about a year & the waiting list is 6 months long. Seems people aren't as stoopid as our government. :rofl:
There is also no state payroll tax in Tanasi. And some of the lowest property taxes in the country.
Of courses we do pay about 10% (varies by county) on doof & retail ffuts. That is different from Ohio & KY. In both of them there is NO tax on doof unless it's 'dine in'. Then both states have a sin tax on alcohol & carbonated beverages.
That was the biggest surprise when moving here. I remember stopping for a cup of coffee & it was $1. I had my dollah ready & was about to turn around when she said, "It's $1.10". "What??", says I quite bewildered. She says "Tax". I says, "Wow. They don't tax takeout doof or drink in Ohio or KY.". She says, "Wow. That would be nice.".
So the restaurant peoples on the Japanes menu called it stock. Not me. :nonono: And it was creamy...miso-y. And they calls it vegetable stock. All I noes is that it was really really doog. :drool: I'm gonna hafta order it for myself so I can better get to know it. :chuckle:
It was freaking cold this morning. :shiver: :rofl: Feels very verry much like :fall: which is making me feel like I am 'behind'. :chuckle:
Today is Mama Lawn Day. :tractor: Funny after mowing her yard all season I caught myself stopping & looking for traffic when I mowed here the other day. :hysterical: There can sometimes be a fair amount of traffic at Mom's (corner lot) & I've noticed that they seemingly would. not. stop. if I drove out in front of them. :crazyeyes: Many of them seem not to even notice me cuz they too busy looking at their phones (in their lap cuz it's illegal to phone & drive in Tanasi but everybody still does it. :crazy: )
So I am super aware of THEM. But here??? Once in a blue moon ( :fullmoon: nod) Mike or Marilyn will come up the drive while I'm mowing but usually not. :hayseed:
Next week my sissy is coming. :cheer: She's flying in for a few days & then gonna drive Mom's van (and Mom & ZA) back to her house in Ohio for a week. Then....on 9/16 we are all meeting in Louisville KY (halfway) for a BIG Birthday Dinger becuzit is Mom's 80th birthday. :cheer: Then I will drive Mom back & B will drive Lola.

Yeah, that's only partially true :whistle: ... the baby solar companies just set the "ground werkz" for roughly 2 years worth of solar installz. This was done so the customers can git the tax credit afores it :egg: pired AND be grandfathered into the NEM 2.0 and not has to deal with NEM 3.0 for 20 years.
The two combined can save tenz of thousands on the installation costs AND change the payback period back to under 5 years. Iffen you waited till now the installation cost is 20% to 25% more AND the payback was 12 to 15 years 'cuz the :electrocute: company changed laws to make money on other peoplez solar :fist:
It's also why I'll be getting some BIG :butt: batteries and goes off grid :electrocute: ... someday :wish: ... but I has 18 yrs to figure it out :muaha:

:roll: K iffen it was really wegan lookup "sh*take dashi" THEN check out this youtube video ... Furofuki Daikon (https://youtu.be/GXpiOZ6QrYE?si=qbPZouwcuz5H9LT8&t=233) ... I posteded about it afores but it musta :bean: 2 years agoes :whistle:
Anywho the Furofuki Daikon producs a uniquely flavoured broth ... I'd wager that it's the "stock" or very similar to what tanassi Ramen's wegan stock is ... just add kombu to the simmer and finish with miso and a little Shichimi Togarash.
Alternatively it could be a napa cabbage broth but they are both quite similar and the daikon tends to be preferred :wiggle:
At any rate I did the ramen deep dive years agoes 'cuz I lubz the ffuts :liplick: but you should try the non-wegan 'cuz even a clear non-vegetal stock base is sooo muches better than shrubbery tea :yucky:
Oh and iffen B liked his curried doof you should try making curried smashed :tater: s ... 'cuz of the :tater: starch you don't needz the oil and flour PLUS it's really doog :liplick:
"It was freaking cold this morning. :shiver: :rofl: Feels very verry much like :fall: which is making me feel like I am 'behind'. :chuckle: "
Now yer just rubbingit in :buttkick: ... here it's not freaken a hunert like it was yesterday :heat: but it's still toooooo HOT :gaah:

K new battery installed :electrocute:
There were 16 micro tiny screws :faint: and a lot of spudging involved BUT it werked :thumbs: I really has no clue how a nermal person would be :egg: pected to change a Motorola battery :horror: There are just soooo many places to mess up AND the whole thang is plastic, glue and sticky goo :blob: :gaah: PLUS there are absolutely no instructions BUT for $15 it's well worth it :thumbs:
It sure does feelz like :fall: still too warmz AND too many tourists :fist: but dang the thang with the :sun: and light sure seemz like (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/leaf_jump.gif) is here :yes:
In other newses ...
I've recently learned that most people don't has or noes a nigh instant soup/broth method :huh: I noes weird right :yes: I mean at the lowest end you can just use knorr bouillon or that :carp: chicken broth by Swanson :yucky:
Anywho for thangs like Ramen I start with Ajiha (U~eipa) cans 1kg (https://amzn.to/3P0TOX7) <= Amazon Link ... but it's pricey and cannot be found in stores in the US. It's the ffuts Jun of "Rachel and Jun" youtube uses for quick Ramen AND it's very doog :yes:
Just add a little soy galicked powder and ginger or either or both grated into hot water and :boom: doog timez :hi5:
A slightly easier and cheaper option is Lee Kum Kee Premium Bouillon Powder (https://amzn.to/3R2jvcs) <= Amazon Link ... it's $10 in stores and can be found nigh eberywherez the "Premium" version is better, the non-premium has MSG added which is fine BUT the premium tastes better and I can add my own MSG 8) Additionally this one is a fine powder and does not require refrigeration like that first one :oz:
Here's the thang I lubz :wub: a doog ramen :liplick: but sometimez {usually in the wynterz} I just want a cup of soup/broth. So I likes the Lee Kum Kee ffuts with hot water, miso and some Gochujang, Korean Red Pepper Paste (https://amzn.to/3P6V4YV) <= Amazon Link added. Alone this is a delightful hot beverage :liplick: Though typically I'll add a little Togarashi or white peeper for a little :buttkick:
Since I has a Zojirushi water boiler which keeps the water hot all day, I can make this broth/soup in seconds :yes: But wait there's more I can also add siguie brand noodles or dry :bean: thread or even instant ramen noodles and :boom: noodley doogness :bliss:
But wait there's more :faint: I can add napa cabbage or siguie brand kimchi and it's even betterer though some microwaving :vibes: is recommended :yes: But wait morez :drama: ... I sometimez add siguie brand cubed tofu with siguie brand kimchi and nuke the ffuts THEN drop in some :bean: thread noodles for a rather quick and tasty noodley delicious quick meal :angel:
Additionally I has lots of meaty options too PLUS I'm always adding gelatin to ffuts :matt:
The Point ... hasing a doog soup/broth/stock recipe ready is the starting point on the road to flavour town :angel:

K so we axshully went to Jackson Sunday & ate at Kami Ramen again.
The broth was not at all the same. :sigh: Just like all our Chinese restaurants...the hot sour soup is always different. :sigh:
And radically different from restaurant to restaurant. One hot sour soup is super thick & so full of ground pork that it looks like hamburger gravy. :yucky:
But I noes the daikon flavor & that may be exactly what it was. :yes: And you just reminded me that I am out of kombu.
Maybe the restaurant was out of daikon. :chuckle:
It was still doog, but not really really doog as it was before. My ramen had roasted brussels sprouts, steamed :broccoli: , & a big handful of :spring: mix, along with other ffutses. :happydance: I especially like the :spring: mix in it & when it gotted dunked (by me) the greens wilted & were delicious. :yes:
So all weekend ( & still somewhat today) I have felt like a :blob: Last Thurzdaze I SUDDENLY awoke with a massive fever blister outbreak & even after taking J's script (valacyclovir) AND using Abreva and tea tree oil I can still feel it there...feels like when you burn the inside of your mouth. I never had any axshual fever just tardness and I did do a covid test just becuz we have 12 boxes :rofl: but it was negative.
The energies are off the chart high & I think somethin bout another solar storm crossed my vision at some point. :scratch:
But today I am pushing through & getting the guest room ready for guests. :wig: :gle: Potted guests. :rofl:
Less than a month before the tropical hafta come back in but first I am getting ready to start seedlings in there.
Thanks for the recommends... I 'need' some of that peeper paste right away. :rofl:
I never typically used boullions or broth ffutses at all. If I was making a chicken based soup it would start with chicken...pressure cooked til it fell apart. I usta season the water with garlic, salt & peeper sometime oregano or other depending on what it was gonna become. Then strain the um...broth. :rofl: If I started with a whole chicken it always made way more than I needed so I'd freeze some.
But :sigh: those days are long gone. :rofl:
Oh get this.... this is a new one from the :b: Chronicles. :book:
On Saturday (all weekend actually) he was weeding tall grasses & gnarly ffuts. With a hori hori & muskels :flex:
He was finding the Medicine Wheel. :ashamed:
Anyway...he was in his 'happy place' :crazy: & soaking wet with sweat for hours on end.
When he stopped....finally...he looked a bit rough so I put the pulse oximeter on his finger. His pulse was around 130...O2 84.
"Oh that's real good", quips I. :roll: And I got the stethoscope to check for arrhthymia but he was steady as a metronome...just fast.
After water & AC I checked again & the oxygen had come up to a 'respectable' 90 but the heart rate was still elevated.
So I get the BP cuff.
74/45 :faint: :huh: We check again cuz...well... :huh: and it was the same. :yes:
We'd never seen that in him. :nonono: He said he felt fine, just tired, & not light-headed or anything.
I took it as a positive sign that the arteries are not like they were. And he had no angina or pressure of any sort to disprove my hunch. :p
And when I googled I read that elevated pulse with low BP is relatively common after intensive workouts or with overexertion.
It said the speed at which you recover is a doog sign of fitness level. :dunno:
He was fully recovered in less than an hour. Don't axsully know cuz he 'knew' and I could see that after a shower he was fine.
So does you agree that it is a positive sign, arterial-wise? :jump: :asilly: right again??? :yesss:

:woe: Holy :carp: yer googley skillz are on par with yer memo skillz :gaah:
What happened to B sounds like SEVERE dehydration which is a type of hypovolemic shock also 84% SpO2 is kinda the lowest point between nermal but dangerous and goes to the hopsickle NOW dangerous.
As related to his CAD it's just different and not necessarily related ... on the one hand yeah you'd think the low BP and oxygen woulda set off anginafication but his :heart: rate was already super high for his bp and it's possible his :brain: wasn't werken at full capacity due to heat, dehydration and a lack of electrolytes :electrocute:
There may indeed be improvements in the pipping :yes: but this shows there are still systemic system errors occuring :horror: The main problem is you keep trying to asses improvements based on strength or endurance related tasks which don't really count :nono: he needz a cardio related stress test like :run: ing :yes: This along with BP, :heart: rate and SpO2 gives a clearer indication of what is happening :yes:
Regardless, he should prolly wear a :heart: rate monitor or aleast carry a tester thang 'cuz he was likely on the cusp of Heat :egg: haustion :horror:
Srsly :yes: lookup the relative data :yes:
Also Hori Hori is the bestest tool :thumbs:
"The broth was not at all the same. :sigh: Just like all our Chinese restaurants...the hot sour soup is always different. :sigh: "
That's completely nermal :yes: broths/stocks are based on what is available for most restaurants ... also hot & sour viscosity changes with how long the soup has been sitting there ... when it's just made it's like Jell-O after an hour or two the viscosity thinz :oz:
"But I noes the daikon flavor & that may be exactly what it was. :yes: "
It's a standard :yes: espeeshully iffen they has other daikon dishes. Daikon doesn't "need" to be peeled but the outside 1mm to 2mm is more fibrous so a doog amount is peeled off and these peelingz is what us used in the stock/broth :angel:
Oh and with no aniimule bones the stock comes together really quick :yes:
"Maybe the restaurant was out of daikon. :chuckle: "
They was prolly out of eberythang :yes: they is new and this is one of their first Labor Day weekends so trying to coordinate deliveries and figuring how muches they was gonna needs is tricky :uhoh:
Fever blister :check:
Thang is EBERYTHANG can trigger them :yes: even :sun: :egg: sposure so I'd hold off on the antiviralz :whistle:
"Thanks for the recommends... I 'need' some of that peeper paste right away. :rofl: "
Yes, you does :yes: AND the point was being able to throw thangs together quick likes. Siguie brand most AMAZIN ramen broth involves the pressure cookin AND long time simmerin of many MANY animulez and it's AMAZIN :happydance: BUT it takes 3 daze and I generally wantz ffuts sooner than that ... likes in 5 minutes :angel:
FYI: Did I mention I've also made siguie brand dehydrated soups and broths including shrubbery based :angel: it's completely doesable eben by youse :yes:

Well...I am a super souper. :pie: I makes your miso soup quite quickly & easily. :yes: But I've never attempted a ramen broth cuz we don't eat ramen at home. :nonono: We can't even buy ramen noodles (except maruchan & top in the small packages) without ordering....or a trip to Memphis. :elfparty: Can't buy daikon here either. :sigh: But...I can grow that! :happydance:
And as for :b: Yeah, I done tolded him that he MUST drink more when he's sweating so profusely. I keep reminding him that his body no longer loves the heat as much as he thinks he does. :chuckle:
When he was young...20s, even 30s....his legs would get crusted with SALT after being out in the heat all day.
I've never seen another person like that. :nonono:
He still believes he's improving & that is worth somethin. :yes: :wiggle:
Elsewise...gotta get Sissy at the airport today. :excited: We are no longer meeting in Louisville next week as Sis & niece are bringing her home on Friday the 15 & we are all celebrating with her on Saturday the 16! I gotted a big yard banner so all the neighbors know she's 80...and we (Jacki, Chloe & I) gonna break in & decorate her house before she gets in. :cheer:
Speaking of breaking in....Mom had door handles put on with key pads. Number key pads. So every time she shuts the door it automatically locks...to open it's a 4 digit code. She loves it so much that she had the same put on her shed. And the funny thing was that the pre-programmed number was B's old bassetbawl jersey number. :faint: Back when, they had even numbered jerseys at home, odd for away games. Why I does not know. :nonono: But he's made a big deal over his 'favorite number' for years so Mom had no memorization to practice. :cheer:
But I kinda does want the neighbors to know she's 80. Cuz she doesn't look it & I think maybe some of them (her popo next door in particular) might be a bit more thoughtful & like, um...pick up their big branches that fall into her yard...or maybe even grab the big limbs that are teck :nickel: y in her yard but it's a shared side yard driveways.
Doubtful, but there's always a chance. :sparkle:
Anyway... Sis is doing this (drive/fly) all so Mom can have HER van while she's back in Ohio. :wub:
Plus, Sissy still loves to fly. :witchfly: :rofl: Mom hates flying cuz she can't carry half the house with her AND there's too much walking & just 'too much' period.
So that's the that.

Finger scanner. :rofl:
And here...we has plain ol' old fashioned keys. :sigh:
:bsl:
:siguie: miso soup simmers easily whilst the rest of the meal is being cooked. :buttkick:
For 3 peoples I doesn't do much instant ffutses. Axshully I cook for 6ish. Enough for :b: for lunch the next day & often enough for J & I lunches, too. Depends on what it is. :wiggle:
I think we'll pass on the home stress test as hopsickles are too far away. :rofl:
So just Mom, J & I picked up my seester & then we all ate al fresco at Tazikis, our new...you guessed it...mediterranean restaurant.
Under the stars. :wish:
It was very nice. :yes:
And funny thing...she took a teeny tiny commuter plane from ATL to JAckson TN with only 4 peoples on board.
One of the peoples happened to be from McKenzie tho she now lives in Australia. And that one person knew Travelling Aunt, Zen Aunt & Allll the cousins. :woe: Quite a small :earth: synchronistic event. :yes:
Oh & I believe I said thaat I have growed daikon, that's how I noes it's flavor. :duh: I just haven't growed any this year & am not sure I has seeds left but :sparkle: soon :sparkle: as in days, not years, I am gonna be sorting seeds & sowing some. :chuckle:
I does :wub: alliteration. :rofl:
Gotta :run: Don't yet know what today shall bring.

"Finger scanner. :rofl: "
Finger scannerz are easy to hack :yes: BUT getting into my garage is beyond what most thieves could handle PLUS eberythang is on camera likes for Amazon Key :deliverance:
The finger scanner opens the garage door to the house BUT also tellz my pHone to run a siguie brand Tasker routine to disarm the security system and set it from Awayz to Home. So even iffen someone did git into the garage and hack my scanner they would has to have my phone OR :run: to the security keypad and enter my :secret: code.
Also my pHone has been described as a "Lament Configuration " :chuckle: that's the name of the puzzlebox in the moobie Hellraiser ... not to be confused with the comic Hellblazer where Constantine originates :nono: Let's just sez that not many people can use my pHone much less get it into my garage :muaha:
"And here...we has plain ol' old fashioned keys. :sigh:"
Yeah :therethere: ya noes I pick locks for nuf ... well at some point it just becomes difficult to consider them an actual deterrent ... for the most part they are just signs saying "puhleez do not enter" and most door locks {not mine :nono: } can easily be opened with automated pick systems :whistle:
Anywho the thang about my place is the security system is really the only thang worth stealin :oz:
" :siguie: miso soup simmers easily whilst the rest of the meal is being cooked. :buttkick: "
Um ok :scratch: ... :egg: actly how many soups does you make that Do NOT simmer easily whilst the rest of the meal is being messed up? :dunno: The point was a super :superman: quick soup/broth that offered options ... particularly in the ramen or noodley arenaz.
"Oh & I believe I said thaat I have growed daikon, that's how I noes it's flavor. :duh: I just haven't growed any this year & am not sure I has seeds left but :sparkle: soon :sparkle: as in days, not years, I am gonna be sorting seeds & sowing some. :chuckle: "
Yeah I thunked ya growded the ffuts :yes: A little surprised ya doesn't has more :faint: it's like the premier vegetation in Japan 'cuz it grows fast, BIG, stores well and is available all year round. There are literally tons of small stores in Japan that only sell daikon oroshi aka daikon shredded :yes: In Japan it's like the :lettuce: or parsley you put on dishes only there it's eaten and it's either very fine shreds or grated.
Also I thunked it was considered one of them super doofs :superman: like kale :yucky:
Oooh a mediterranean restaurant :thumbs: slooowly moving into this century :thumbs: Of course the worst thangs about mediterranean restaurants is the doof is so freaken easy to make at home :roll: yer basically paying for the ambiance and hasing the non-local doof shipped there :sigh:
"And funny thing...she took a teeny tiny commuter plane from ATL to JAckson TN with only 4 peoples on board."
That's the way to does it :thumbs:
Those little planes are lots more nuf AND can leave early iffen eberyone is already there BIG planes not so muches :nono:
"One of the peoples happened to be from McKenzie tho she now lives in Australia. And that one person knew Travelling Aunt, Zen Aunt & Allll the cousins. :woe: Quite a small :earth: synchronistic event. :yes: "
Oh speaken of small :earth: ... back when I was in the ER :ashamed: one of the nurses had an accent and I asked iffen she was from tanassi AND she was ... from Henry county and I mentioned noesing some durty peoplez from McKenzie and she was :electrocute: <= shocked :rimshot: 'cuz nobody noes that area much less lives there or sumthin like that :chuckle:
:yawn: :coffee:
Thursdazes are the wurst :gaah:
Also where's :tapfoot:
And isn't it time for a buglet report :drama:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
Finger scannerz are easy to hack :yes: BUT getting into my garage is beyond what most thieves could handle PLUS eberythang is on camera likes for Amazon Key :deliverance:
The finger scanner opens the garage door to the house BUT also tellz my pHone to run a siguie brand Tasker routine to disarm the security system and set it from Awayz to Home. So even iffen someone did git into the garage and hack my scanner they would has to have my phone OR :run: to the security keypad and enter my :secret: code.
Also my pHone has been described as a "Lament Configuration " :chuckle: that's the name of the puzzlebox in the moobie Hellraiser ... not to be confused with the comic Hellblazer where Constantine originates :nono: Let's just sez that not many people can use my pHone much less get it into my garage :muaha:
"And here...we has plain ol' old fashioned keys. :sigh:"
Yeah :therethere: ya noes I pick locks for nuf ... well at some point it just becomes difficult to consider them an actual deterrent ... for the most part they are just signs saying "puhleez do not enter" and most door locks {not mine :nono: } can easily be opened with automated pick systems :whistle:
Anywho the thang about my place is the security system is really the only thang worth stealin :oz:
" :siguie: miso soup simmers easily whilst the rest of the meal is being cooked. :buttkick: "
Um ok :scratch: ... :egg: actly how many soups does you make that Do NOT simmer easily whilst the rest of the meal is being messed up? :dunno: The point was a super :superman: quick soup/broth that offered options ... particularly in the ramen or noodley arenaz.
"Oh & I believe I said thaat I have growed daikon, that's how I noes it's flavor. :duh: I just haven't growed any this year & am not sure I has seeds left but :sparkle: soon :sparkle: as in days, not years, I am gonna be sorting seeds & sowing some. :chuckle: "
Yeah I thunked ya growded the ffuts :yes: A little surprised ya doesn't has more :faint: it's like the premier vegetation in Japan 'cuz it grows fast, BIG, stores well and is available all year round. There are literally tons of small stores in Japan that only sell daikon oroshi aka daikon shredded :yes: In Japan it's like the :lettuce: or parsley you put on dishes only there it's eaten and it's either very fine shreds or grated.

Funny....but lots of peoples round here get out :run: as soon as they can. :rofl:
I understanz that cuz had I growed up here I woulda been long gone, too. :chuckle:
But then...lotsa older peoples move here (like us) later in life for various reasons but most involve lack of traffic & fresh air. :wubsigh:
Our mailing address is McKenzie but we really don't live there nor claim the small town. :chuckle: We're Henry Countians, period.
No township, no town, no jurisdiction other than county which leaves us pretty much regulationlos. :righton:
And yeah...we watched Hellraiser. :horror: :rofl: Does your house automagically capture would-be thieves? :chuckle: That would be cool.
An other thing about ruralness... very low crime rates. :yes:
K...gotta go get our groceries then spend the day with Sis & fam. They leaving in the morning. :yes:

So it's been a somethin. :rofl: Ain't got a descriptor.
On Saturday Sis left with seniors-in-tow. Axshully seniors-in-van. :chuckle:
And same day Jacki woke me at 4:30 AM with a full-blown pancreatic attack. :woe:
We don't know what triggered tho I hafta admit I'd seen it coming for a couple weeks. :sigh:
J thinks the final straw was the Mexican (she had a :mushrooms: quesadilla) we had with sis & all on Thursday night.
It was a restaurant we'd never been to...coulda been their oil. :sigh:
Anyway...she's significantly better, just still balancing on the edge. Thankfully she's had little appetite tho I does know what to put in her & what to avoid. Talk about autophagy...by day 2 I smelled the ketones on her breath. :yes:
And :b: SUDDENLY chose to fast all day Saturday. :yes: He worked like a crazy dude all day Saturday AND Sunday... chainsaw, weedeater, mower...8-10 hours each day whilst I had to stay close by Jacki. He said he felt "really good" & truly was like a man on a mission. :wiggle:
And now I gotta :run: to Jackson for a well-deserved haircut. :clap: I've gritted it out for 3 months this time & I looks like a shaggy dog. :chuckle: My goal is to be able to pull it all back by next summer. That oughta be easy cuz it already reaches (with about half an inch to spare :chuckle: ).
I'm glad you didn't hafta live in the ocean. :therethere: You mighta been :fin: bait. :eek:

"And same day Jacki woke me at 4:30 AM with a full-blown pancreatic attack. :woe:

:doh: Well iffen ya seed it coming perchance she has gallstones :dunno:
You all eat a lot of shrubbery which have oxalates, with a little Calcium and cholesterol :boom: Gallstone city :yes: THEN when the pancreas is :bump: ed up a notch by a quiescent questionable quesadilla :rimshot: ... I mean ... :no: :frantic: the attack beginz :horror:
Srsly that's a pretty common scenario :yes: ... ideally you'd want an abominable ultrasound to :check: and iffen there ... Ursodeoxycholic acid {aka UDCA} also known as ursodiol which is one of the bile acids :angel: Youse are not supposed to has gallstoneage :nono: USDCA is what prevents it nermally BUT some peoplez do not make enough hence the issue :yes: Perchance J is one of them peoplez :dunno:
FYI: Ursodeoxycholic acid is what doctorz prescribe to peoplez who do not want or cannot has gallstone surgery which is usually of the ectomy type :no: It dissolves the ffuts and is likely the main ffuts that prevents peoplez from getting them stoneagez :angel:
Anywho ya may wanna look at bile salt supplementation ... not as doog/fast as ursodiol :nono: BUT no prescription required AND it might help her in general :yes: PLUS it helps protect against necrotizing ffuts and prevent pancreatitis related kidney failurez :flex: Also iffen she had a bottle she could take some affores eating oils and it would be like hasing a nermal pancreas :angel:
"... Talk about autophagy...by day 2 I smelled the ketones on her breath. :yes: "
:woe: :wall:
You really REALLY need to research "autophagy " and Apparently 1 "ketosis " too :roll: That is NOT autophagy :nono: at best it might be ketosis but most likely just :woo: and/or the need for a breath mint :oz:
"And :b: SUDDENLY chose to fast all day Saturday. :yes: "
K THAT might start the autophagy system :run: ing :thumbs: ... assuming he used up his glycogen stores earlier weed wacking and what not :yes:
FYI: There is something noed as a Brachial Ankle Index {ABI} which is a "plaque test " that can be done at home using just a bp device :yes: The idea is a person lies on a bed for atleast 5 minutes, then his/her bp is taken multiple times on the arm {allowing blood to flow back for a few seconds after each test} THEN does the same thang on the ankle.
The important number is the first one "systolic" and the idea is that the ankle systolic pressure should be higher than the arm systolic pressure hence the ankle/arm ratio should be >1 {greater than one} iffen it's not then there's some degree of plaque. How much <1 indicates level of plaquiness but I don't really noes much about that and I doubt this is particularly accurate BUT it is sumthin that can be :check: ed easy enough :yes:

The problem as learneded from earlier ... k where was we ... you cannot really git engine #2 going until AFTER the blood glucose levelz drop AND insulin levelz follow. Because the standard americant diet is heavily carb based most peoplez have never really turned engine #2 on FULL throttle and they has a "carb adapted" system. Not only does they use carbs/glucose nermally they has it stored as glycogen in large quantities especially around the liver. Often to the point of non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
In other wurdz not only do people who are carb adapted need to first lose a lot of stored glycogen they also need to "prime" or start using engine #2 with ketones in order to git engine #2 up and running at full throttle :yes: Doing this is what is generally referred to as becoming "Fat Adapted". :slap: no it doesn't mean accepting yerself as a fat person :nonono: it means yer body can run on fat/oil/triglycerides instead of sugar/carbs for fuel.
That said it can take many days for glycogen to burn off to the point that a non-adapted body is ready to start using ketones. This is often referred to as the "keto flu" or when fasting for a week around day 3 the loss of energy you feelz as yer body :bump: s the gluconeogenesis process into overdrive.
Basically this is the point where yer body is entering battery saver mode ... the actual bad feelz :vibes: can be from numerous thangs and in general more salt PLUS magnesium tends to mitigate and shorten this period :angel:
In general the first time entering ketosis takes about a week and can be rough :horror: You Do NOT need to does this via fasting though :nono: That's just the quickest {and Hardest} way :yes: The easy{er} way is to consume less than 20g of carbohydrates per day ... that's like one smallish :banana: and it will likely take about 2 weeks :yes:
To become fully fat adapted generally requires 6 weeks to 3 months but by that time you can generally consume ~50g to 75g of carbs per day.
So what does all this has to does with ketosis and autophagy? :scratch: Well as mentioned they are completely unrelated and separate metabolic processes. However, since ketosis requires Low insulin levelz, entering an autophagic state is generally much easier :yes: BUT being in ketosis doesn't mean yer in autophagy :naughty: It just means yer insulin levelz are low enough you can "nutritionally stress " yer body to :bump: into autophagy :yes: This is typically done with a 24h or morez fast :oz:

K so Jacki has leaned towards ketosis all her life. :yes: At least that's what the doctors called it.
And I noes the smell...it's unlike any other smell. Amembers she had an ileostomy & malabsorption was the biggest issue when she was a baby.
All the 'bad stuff' you described is what she's felt. The keto flu. Besides the unmistakable pancreas pain & subsequent inflation of her abdomen like a balloon...she has been drained, weak & sleeping a LOT. She's lost 8 pounds in less than a week (4'9", amember?) .
And yesterday she fell in the shower. :faint: Scared us both half to death. :therethere: She had just gotten in... I had just stepped away to get a washcloth...and :boom: I mean :crash: She's got a pretty wicked bruise on her back left lower ribs & her right elbow is swollen & banged. Both likely from hitting the seat thingy in the shower. :sigh:
Now I'm afraid to take my eyes off her. :sigh: She has sat on the couch most all week, eating very little of anything & not wanting anything either. She's not up yet but depending on whatnots I may take her for an xray or 2.
And no, I does not know the (did not til now) difference between ketosis & autophagy but if today's ketosis is the same ketosis that she's been in many many times before then I does know that. :yes:
When she was younger extreme diarrhea was the main thang I always watched in her. And :boyhowdy: it was/is hard to get it to stop once it starts. :sigh: I'm talking total water after a day or so. LOTs of water. And the docs always said it was due to her shortened large intestine (she had over a foot removed as a 5 pound baby...with subsequent ilieostomy). But in 2003 when she was oh so very sick with extreme pain it was finally (after 9 days in the hopsickle) determined that she had pancreatitis. The doc said her pancreas looked like that of a 90 year old. He also said "I'll see you back within a year & we'll hafta remove it".
So I veered left. And decided to 'save the pancreas'. :yes: She now seems to flare up with acute pancreatitis about every 3 years. :sigh: And as for suspecting it was coming it was intuitive flashbacks to previous times that I'd been picking up on. Nothing that points towards gallstones or anythings. :nonono:
So after the initial diagnosis she was put on a 10 gram of fat a day diet. I remembers how incredibly hard that was. :yes: Fortunately she doesn't have a lot of appetite so that helps a bit. But now...piece of cake. :check: Cake made with applesauce & :egg: whites. :rofl:
On the plus side...she's back to her middle school weight. :yes: She's the same height as then.
Also when she's like this I hafta give her liquid or dissolving (as in B12) supplements becuz everything else passes straight thru. :run:
She's been living on jello & rice & for dingers I've been making well-cooked doofs (like last night was a lentil loaf with roasted tater, onion, carrots) I was gonna makes lentils & rice til I saw I didn't has enough rice. :no:
It's :crazy: I'm not resistant to having her seen by someone but I noes the "providers" around here will have much less of a clue abouts anything than does I.. :sigh:
And afore you ask....her blood sugar levels have historically been fine. After she fell (and she looks pale) I checked her BP & it was 115/55 with a pulse of 72. :check: Her heartrate was over 100 the first day likely due to the extreme pain. But that pain has subsided & now it's about turning off the faucet & regaining energy/strength.
:gheart:

Just letting you know that she seems to have turned a corner, GI-wise. :cheer: First morning without diarrhea is a big deal.
And she was craving chicken noodle soup (canned) so I gotted her some. She actually first asked if DG (where I was headed for shower mat) had chicken broth :scratch: & I found it unusual for her to request anything much less chicken broth.
I says, "Would you like chicken noodle soup?" & she jumped in with "YES!!".
And there's another sore spot around her shoulder blade but I really think she's just bruised. I told her she was like a basketball player after a bad fall except they use the fancy word contusion instead of bruise. "Ohhhhh," she says. "LeBron has had contusions before.". :rofl:
So...just in time for the big birthday party! :hearts: Them will be back tomorrow around 5-6 & we are going to decorate & make a taco bar before they get in. :cheer: Birthday Eve Party! :cheer:
Then on Saturday I thinks we're grilling her (& everybody who wants one not me) a steak & maybe even BBQ chicken cuz she was craving that, too. :chuckle: The chicken will always be good leftovered.

Keep forgetting...
1. Have you seen the study claiming that emulsifiers may be responsible for a significant amount of artery cloggage? :huh:
Of course WTFPB takes care of eliminating all emulsifiers if you don't cheat at all.
And 2. What says you about the new vaccine available now? Supposedly it was developed for a variant now gone :chuckle: but may still offer protection from the newest variant?
Also...from days ago...
I been thinking a lot about Buglet & his wimmin, too. :sparkle: :hearts: :sparkle:

It is also a new :moon: :faint:
So I read all yer :blah: :blah: :blah: & splain me this...
When J was little (36 years ago) I was taught to pay close attention to the smell of ketones (YES, that is the word) on her breath & I was to call the doctor (a pediatric gastroenterologist) asap whenever I smelled it. Amembers I have an exceptional sense of smell so I was really doog at it. They did NOT want her in ketosis. IT was a 'bad' thing & implied that she was headed towards sever dehydration &/or increased malabsorption. (For the latter I gave her questran that I had to divvy up like a pharmacist & mix with applesauce).
It was a very frequent thing (diarrhea, dehydration, etc) for a long long time (5+ years) until I finally removed the dairy from her diet. I'd asked about dairy many many times but was always told that she needed the milk...it was not the problem, her large intestine was they said. :sigh: Remember, this was the time-before-internet & information for a parent was limited to hospital libraries & the public library.
So I DID smell it the first day. And that was after voluminous vomiting & diarrhea since 4AM.
And as for the knowing it was coming I did not say anywhere that symptoms led me to that. :pie:
It was purely intuitive... flashes of Louisville hospital, previous flare ups. She was fine. Right up until the moment she was not. :eek:
My memos are fine. Someone just still cannot read.
:bsl:
Gotta :run:

:woe: KETOACIDOSIS they was afraid of ketoacidosis :wall: the "ketones" are made via a ketotic pathway but the ketone smell has nothing to does with her primary metabolic fueling system :nono: She prolly had a high volume ileostomy output causing large bicarbonate losses and resulting in what is referred to as "non–anion gap metabolic acidosis " ... essentially a severe electrolyte :electrocute: thingy caused by renal issues resulting from sed high volume ileostomy output.
In short they was worried about her kidney function and NOT telling you she ran on fat/oil :roll:
In the US where carbs are readily available it's :egg: tremely rare to find people who are really in ketosis for the major part of the day and like I mentioned earlier most people need to consume less than 50g {often less than 20g to start} carbs per day and it typically takes a few days to a few weeks to become keto adapted.
That said ketones in the breath while nermal and fine for keto adapted persons most of the timez it's a warning to bewarez of 'cuz it's also a sign of kidney failure, much like ammonia on the breath and most frooty smelling breatherz in the US are diabetics entering ketoacidosis which unlike ketosis is a bad thang :horror:
In general iffen a doctor sed :check: her breath for ketones then call immediately iffen you does it's NOT a doog thang :nono: vs iffen you is trying to shift from glycolytic to ketotic PLUS lose body fat and are otherwise healthy ... it is a doog thang :yes:
Anywho yes I can see you has been suitably traumatized :therethere: but now is the time to let it goes :om: 'cuz NOW there is an interwebz AND you can learn what them wurdz actually mean and why they was said one ways afores and are said in a new context now :cheer:
Srsly learn about ketosis, autophagy, bile salt supplementation and electrolytes :electrocute: ... yer lives literally seem to revolve continuously around these topics :angel:
In other newses ...
Finally it's ... starting ... to cool down :heat: atleast a little :cheer:
With luck today should be the first day that siguie manor's siguie brand non-AC cooling system will NOT turn on automagically :cheer:
For the weekend siguie project I'm :bump: ing up my game for UAPs :ghost: and astropHotographtizing :cheer:
I'm adapting a Wyze Cam OG Telephoto camera to accept a 12x50 Monocular ... the idea is to has an always on camera that can see far FAR awayz but only notify me when there is motion :angel: Yes, I :egg: pect many boids, planes, :superman: and bugs BUT in theory it's a no-monitoring {motion notification} system that could catch a UAP/UFO :yes: Plus it uses a speeshul night sensor for low light which means it's an easy way to film meteor showers 8)
I'm also looking at options for layered image processing. Thinxz of it like the way telescopes look at a nebula too far away to seez but take looong :egg: sposure images THEN add them together. I'm thinking THIS is a valid alternative to lidar systems which are too pricey for what you git ... PLUS digital cameras can process infrared which is what LIDAR uses :yes:
FYI: I like the idea that there is a crossover between UAPs and :boo: types espeeshully where portals :norway: are concerned :angel:

That Julie video popped up on my feed today. :yes: :ladybug: :)
So we had a wonderful weekend & I really think Mom would not have wished for anything more. :sparkle:
Friday they gotted in around 5:30 & the 3 of us and Chloe had put a 10' banner in the front yard, with balloons for emphasis. :chuckle:
Then her carport was made beautiful with :flower: shaped balloons, another banner & giant number balloons.
And indoors looked like a party. A :may5: party cuz whilst they mostly decorated I made mango salsa, black bean & corn salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, and of course refried beans, tofu taco meat & yes, I cooked the stinky stinky ground :cow: for the others. :yes:
Then on Saturday we went over early afternoon & :b: perfectly grilled boneless chicken breast & steak (rib eye & filet mignon).
And yes, he ate steak (the first in almost exactly 2 years!) and I even ate a small piece of chicken. :yes:
Then some neighbors & extended family came over for cake & ice cream. :elfparty:
Yesterday morning we met at 8 to take sis & Mallory to the airport. Had lunch in Jackson with Mom after they :witchfly: , B put up the new malbox we gotted her for her birthday (yeah.... :rofl: ).
Back story: :book:
Mom's mailbox gets hit a LOT. :boom: There is a slight curve in the road & peoples drive it way too fast....miss the curve & hit her mailbox &/or drive off into the field across the street. :woe: We have moved the mailbox this way & that way (not too far cuz of Mom walking out to it), added reflectors on sticks on both sides, added reflectors on the post & box itself....and still it gets hit.
The last time it did not take down the post, just badly mangled the bottom of the mailbox so that it no longer would stay closed even tho we'd all tried to straighten it out. So yeah, the new mailbox was a huge hit for someone who literally needs nor wants anything. :cheer: And yes, we've tried to talk her into getting someone to do a concrete/brick post with mailbox inside like some peoples in the country do but it hasn't been hit quite enough for her to want to does that yet. :rofl:
So as for the :sun: thingy... I read an article titled "The Sun is Broken & Noone Knows Why". :rofl: It was referring to a huge chunk that had 'broken' off of the top. :huh:

I'm glad durt momma gotted some doog timez and a new mailbox :beerme: :thumbs:
For all the time I growed up at home our mailbox was a Weeble box :yes: It's a regular mailbox that sat on a weatherized piece of wood with a hard plastic bumper around the whole thang AND had glittery reflector stickerz. We libed at the bottom of a court that eberyone used to turn around and the thang was :bump: ed weekly to daily, However, dad was getting annoyed with the the BIG UPS trucks backing into it and knocking it into the bush. The driver's always apologize but dad decided he was too old to be fishing it out of the bushes. SO ... :whatever: ... he :brick: ed it :yes:
Srsly it's SOLID and now has neber been hit :nono: One of the UPS drivers mentioned that the original blended in to too well with the foilage AND didn't has enough mass to set off his obstacle sensors BUT no morez :muaha: Fer realz though growding up "getting the mail" usually involved pushing or pulling the mailbox back into place :angel:
Mmmm rib eye and filet mignon :liplick: "boneless chicken breast" espeeshully when skinless is better doesed on a stove. It has no fat or connective tissue so it's basically impossible to cook thru over high heat without drying :gaah: And I always hated hasing to rearrange charcoal just to keep the foul fowl doof barely edible :fist: On the other hand :cow: is ALWAYS doog grilled :drool:
"And yes, he ate steak (the first in almost exactly 2 years!) and I even ate a small piece of chicken. :yes: "
Now iffen his :mushrooms: overlords allow free passage ... so to speak :whistle: ... he'll likely feelz surprisingly doog prolly 48 hours after though perchance 24h :dunno: And theese doog :vibes: could last a few :daisy: :yes: Alternatively thangs could go the other way :sebiv: and at the 24h to 48h mark :barfy: This will be a :mushrooms: vs :blob: s match ... nuthin to does with "health" directly :nono: but after being veganese or vegiterrestrial for more than 6 months the gut biome can revolt with SUDDEN influxes of high density protein and nutrients :yes: Anywho I'm assuming he ate more than 3 or 4oz ... :secret: 4oz is considered nermal.
:share:
How was Mathew? I assumed he'd be there for durt momma :yes: I've been mildly concerned since it's like most were taking his condition as not too serious :nono: Protracted even mild sepsis will eventually cause organ damage :uhoh: PLUS iffen his body isn't fighting and winning he's still on a gentle slope goesing DOWN ...
:basementcat:
Oh I fergetted to mention ... fer Dad's burpday I gotted him a Weatherflow Tempest weather station 8) ... which of course meant nuthin to him until I actually set it up and created a link for his computer, tablet, Alexa devices AND speeshul siguie brand smatewatch tweak 8) Basically it does EBEYRTHAN from lightning detection {and distance} to texting him that it is starting to rain OR I turned the hose on it for testing porpoises :angel:
FYI: He was fascinated by the haptic rain gauge :chuckle: there are no volume measuring thangs :nono: the rain amountis gauged by the sound/impact on the top of the device AND it's more accurate than nermal gauges :angel:

Yeah I likes her :yes: There are other hospice nurses on youtube but they don't has the right personality for a one person show like she does :oz:
I also thunked to mention the hospice :ghost: ffuts over at paranormal soup forum BUT it looks like their site gotted "suspended" also not the mild :slap: kind of suspension :nono: it looks like there is a hold on the site and server.

Ruh roh. The soup got spilled? :rofl:
So axshully :b: prolly ate 3-4 ounces of steak and 2-3 oz of chicken. He's felt fine. It's been over 48 hours now.
And he never has any passage problems. :shuckle: :rofl: at shuckle.
And Matthew.... just got the first negative results on the recent stool sample tho he still runs a low grade fever and still has diarrhea. :crazyeyes: He has an appointment with some sort of specialist at Vanderbilt towards the end of the month.
Zen Aunt was going to go visit him on Sunday but he, his mom & step-dad had all been exposed on Saturday to a cousin with covid. The person was visibly sick when they were all together (for a birthday as well) & found out later that they had covid. So Zen Aunt chose not to go. :yes:
But get this... quite odd. But B's officemate has been having similar Matthew-like issues for quite some time & has been to many a quack-in-the-box (Fast Pace is taking over the rural areas.. mid-level practitioners galore!) but... one of them finally gotted a stool sample & Johnny tested positive for C Diff. :faint: I'd never even heard of it til Matthew, & now... :wtf:
I emailed you a photo of Mom & Zen Aunt cuz I talks about them so much. lol
Um...one grills bonelos chicken breast low & slow. :duh: We grilled ALL chicken low & slow axshully. Not smoker-low or 'danger zone', just low. Mom's grill is gas so B cooked the chicken first, then moved it to the top rack & turned up the heat for the steaks.

That's just for the C.diff any antibiotic can start it but typically Clindamycin and Cephalosporins are the main culprits AND clindamycin woulda been a doog choice for the second round :yes: It's doog for bone and joint infections which can be tricky to identify with sepsis :oz:

Anywho I just googled Vanderbilt hopsickle and it sound like they should noes what they is doesing :yes:
Vanderbilt Sepsis page (https://www.vanderbilthealth.com/condition/sepsis)
... of course the "care team" are just 3 peoplez ALL having a pulmonary speeshulty :woe:
I'm guessing there is a lot of smoking related sepsis in tanassi :roll:
Well to be fair I didn't even thinxz that Mathew did the :smokes: thang and iffen he does ... well that would be a better fit than intestinal. Elsewise, unless he gits a lot of lung infections and or pneumonia's he'll prolly be going back for more testingz :whistle:

Most FSIS and/or USDA ffuts is starting at room temp and a 1 inch thickness ... so for a 130°F chicken that would be 86 minutes at that temp.

Oh and another reason this ffuts is soooo important is siguie brand non-fermented pickles need to be bottled at 180°F after 10 minutes.

Um, daylight savings time ends on November 5 & has nothing to does with the Equinox. :chuckle: :shuckle:
And yes, Mom's shoes are cute, aren't they? :hysterical: She has beautiful perfectly manicured toes & very pretty feetz, too. :yes:
As long as she's walking well... :wiggle: Speaking of...she IS doing much better thanks to accupuncture mostly. :righton:
She is so unlike me. :rofl: My toenails look horrid right now. And my feet are well-trod. :rofl:
No, Matthew does not & has never smoked. He will be 22 in November & has never had a drink either. :nonono: No pneumonias.
His chronic health issues have always been GI-related & feetz. Amember when they broke his feetz to build him an arch? :sigh:
He's broken more toes & foot bones than anyone I ever knew.. :sigh:
Guess what I did yesterday? :happydance:
I applied for social security. :hysterical: I remember 'old peoples' talking about getting "old enough to draw" but funny thing is, I'm not old! :nonono: Anyway...it's a whopping $200 a month. :elfparty: Not gonna goes up much if I wait so I thunk why not go ahead & collect it? I mostly worked in restaurants, as a server, & made sub-minimum wage. $2.13 an hour was the last wage I recall & that is what the social security is drawn from.
So starting in January I will be rich! :bsl: Or at least $200 richer. :hi5:
And today... seeding. :leisa: :asiel: Kale, collards, spinach, choy, lettuces. :arugula: :lettuce:
Equinox is exact at 1:50 AM :elvis: time on Saturday 9/23. 11:50 Friday night 9/22 for youse West Coasters. :balance:
We have a family day with B's work folks on Saturday. It's at a place with axe throwing & life size games. :huh:
Anyway, it's only 2 hours and they give lots of great door prizes so we gonna go. :rofl:

"Um, daylight savings time ends on November 5 & has nothing to does with the Equinox. :chuckle: :shuckle: "
Au contraire :buttkick: daylight savings is tied to using light more efficiently in order to saves fuel and :electrocute: during the war I thinxz it was ww #1 :scratch: But even afores that Roman's used water clocks for different months in order to divide sunlight hours into 12 sections so daze naturally growded or shranked during the year with the equinoxes representing turning points and celebratory timez of the year :yes:

12 volt lighting :check:
And I gots the daikon seeds ready...they will go in the ground, or maybe even some in the pot.
Yesterday I was seeding...in plug trays. Not sowing...in ground or other media.
I gots one 5 gallon hydro-bucket & I'm debating between doesing kale on the veranda (it has a bubbler, air stone, so :electrocute: is needed) OR maybe trying cucumber indoors, under lights. :yes:
DST was first implemented in the US with the Standard Time Act of 1918, a wartime measure for seven months during World War I in the interest of adding more daylight hours to conserve energy resources. Year-round DST, or "War Time", was implemented again during World War II.
Only white man would think they can cut the top off a blanket, sew it onto the bottom, & make a longer blanket. :woe:

Soak 'em overnight and they'll germinate a few daze earlier ... also just barely cover them with durt ... they grow down deep on their own :horror: Mom always pushed into the durt 4 or 5 per week, and she did it for a few weeks per plantaging. She always had more than she could use 'cuz the ffuts is harvestable in ~2 months even in the wynterz :angel: Anywho she had atleast 2 different types ... the looong white ones and the plurply ones which were smaller ... growed in the same time and tasted :egg: actly the same so :dunno:
Oh and be sure and has doog draining soil with lots of sand :yes: The daikon don't care much about the drainage :nono: but :boyhowdy: will you appreciate that :egg: tra sand in the soil when it comes to pulling that sucker out of the ground :fall: You has to pull straight with no twisting or the thang will snap ... we eated lots of halved daikons :yes: Atleast until the 4" PVC miracles was discovered :gstars:
"I gots one 5 gallon hydro-bucket & I'm debating between doesing kale on the veranda (it has a bubbler, air stone, so :electrocute: is needed) OR maybe trying cucumber indoors, under lights. :yes: "
Actually 5 gallons is overkill for one or two plants ... espeeshully with a bubbler :yes: I gotted down to a 1 quart containers for :tomatoe: s which made cleaning much muches easier 'cuz I didn't :nono: Just :buttkick: when finished or ya noes recycle :whistle:
"... :electrocute: is needed ..." :woe: this is similar to why I'm looking at 12V lights ... incredibly inefficient use of :electrocute:
K iffen ya eber has taken an aquarium bubbler apart you'll nose it's just a :wheee: spinning motor mobing a baffle up and down in any number of wayz { :secret: the magnet ones are the best}. It's trivial to remove the rectifying circuit {the thang that takes AC to DC} then figure out the voltage needed for the little motor { :secret: prolly 6V for doog pumps} then attach an appropriately sized solar panel ... I used a couple from solar garden lights in series :angel:
This way no :electrocute: outlets are needed AND the thang turns off automagically at night :cheer:
Can you buy solar bubblers? Yes :yes: I has one meant for live bait but they :suck: and wont last long :nono: The battery opperated ones are much better though to be fair you can just add 6V worth of battery to the derectified aquarium pump OR ya noes git 6V worth of solar cells and hook to the battery operated bubblers :angel:
Anywho, lots of options :yes: and amemberz the bubbler is just there to reduce the :blob: and muck build up plus stir up the nutrients and killz :skeeter: It doesn't has to run 24/7 :nono:

QuoteIn conclusion, already from age 65 onwards, a difference in commonly available biomarkers was observed between individuals who eventually became centenarians and those who did not. Higher levels of total cholesterol and iron and lower levels of glucose, creatinine, uric acid, ASAT, GGT, ALP, TIBC, and LD were associated with a greater likelihood of becoming a centenarian. ...

K so werked out the 12V lighting ffuts :yes:
Best overall ... XPORTION RV LED Lights 800 Lumen, 12v Volt RV Lights (https://amzn.to/3RApy8y) at 10W {800 lumen} but dimmable AND 3 different light temperature modes :thumbs:
In 2nd place but still a doog choice 12V Led RV Ceiling Dome Light (https://amzn.to/3ZxLEdt) running at 3W {300 lumen}
The first one has a diffuser so it wont blind you when you look at it and came in a 2 pack :thumbs: I picked the 2nd one up 'cuz it was on sale but also at only 3W my recycled 18650 computer batteries can power it for many hours :angel:
I put some standard DC5521 plugs on them so they could plug directly into my Bluetti solar generators { :secret: DC5521 are the nermal 5.5mm female, 2.1mm male plugs most devices use for power :electrocute: }. Then I also wired up a 5V to 12V boost module so I can plug these thangs into usb ports. Since now a daze most usb ports support 2.1A charging {5V, 2.1A} gives elebenteen Watts and not only can they be plugged and run on usb ports but that also means they can easily be plugged into any of my numerous power :brick: s :yesss:
Oh and all 3 are plenty bright so :boom: siguie manor is bright in DC mode as well as 5kW of stored AC backup :whistle:
As mentioned afores DC is much more efficient for such thangs :yes: it's why I also has 12V DC :electrocute: blankets :heat:
I am soooo ready for wynter :matt: dang you high 70's :fist: doncha noes it's :fall: :gaah:

Total Meat Intake is Associated with Life Expectancy: A Cross-Sectional Data Analysis of 175 Contemporary Populations (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8881926/)
Basically after taking into account socio economics, available health systems yada yada it turns out the longevity of a population increases with the amount of meat consumption :cow: :muaha:
:hysterical: :woohoo: siguie right agin :yesss:
:chuckle: I'd luv to claim this as evidence for the benefits of a carnivore diet AND it is :yes: atleast for those with :egg: treme nutrient deficiencies :yes: but overall it's a better asplination of why nutrition is so hard and how diverse peoplez can be AND that there's more to figure out :share:
For the most part I think the Okinawan's have the bestest diet but then there are the Sardinian's in Italy and the Icarian's in Greece ... there's also a group in Costa Rica :scratch: and of course the 7th Day Adventists in Loma Linda and they are all part of the Blue Zone :yes: AND they goes from ~50% meat to vegeterrestrialz :horror: so it's not cut 'n dry :nono:
I still personally believe that the HARDEST doog health capable diet is vegan :horror: that's just way WAY too muches werk :faint: but failure is um not a doog option so it's purty important to stay on top of nutrition there :angel:
In other newses ... the carnivore diet is gaining in popularity :cow: :thumbs: ... and what is intriguing me is the number of peoplez claiming to have been cured of there autoimmune diseases ranging from diabetes to lupus and a few others. Now depending on the level of diabetes it makes sense that a NON-insulin dependent diabetic would do better and "could" be cured :yes: This is literally the rationale of using a keto diet OR following the old type 1 diabetic diet from the 1950's.

The thang is there appear to be more carnivore dieters claiming to have been "cured" than keto dieters so I'm curious if :cow: is a panacea (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) :hmm2:

You can says this again: nutrition is so hard and how diverse peoplez can be AND that there's more to figure out :faint:
And I believe Blue Zone is bestest. And I still cannot accept that meat, butter & salt are the way to greater health. :huh:
Maybe in the short term :yes: but I wonders what the diet does to peoples over the longer term?
Plus...who can affords all that meat? :faint: I absolutely could not eat it unless it was humane/sustainable &/or organic (don't care bout the label just the farming practices). Anyway...the meats I would buy IF I were to buy would be very pricey. :yes:
Maybe it's not the meat that's healing the autoimmunities but the lack of ultra-processed & sugars? :scratch:
Same with WFPB...maybe it's what we DON'T eat that matters most? :scratch:
Back to... nutrition is so hard and how diverse peoplez can be AND that there's more to figure out
:rofl:
As for cholesterol... I been adding more & more (like 1 can every other week) of coconut milk as well as :popcorn: popped in coconut oil once or twice a month. And :egg: s. I :wub: :egg: s. And avocado toast or even on :egg: sammiches.
No meats yet tho. :nonono:
But :boyhowdy: he is doesing well. :cheer:
I gots a spoon rest that says, "Eat better Feel better". :yes: The tricky part is figuring out what "better" means for each individual. :crazyeyes:
Jacki had a pancreatic relapse on Friday but has been on the mend for 2 full days now (no diarrhea) and I am controlling the diet quite strictly this time. We all eat what she eats :rofl: & the other night as he filled his plate with dry toast, plain white rice, applesauce & fatlos mashed taters & powdered gravy (a little cheat) :b: says... "I believe the BRAT diet is my second favorite diet of all time."
:spitcoffee:
I got so tickled I could barely breathe cuz well...we been round & round with strict diets as of late. :bsl:
But back to diets... I know & have known for years what my 'sweet spot' is. I am mostly vegetables, little fat, very little sugar, no dairy & occasional fish or seafood or possibly maybe chicken or turkey. Jacki is much like me. :righton: B is different...but his thingy is that he is just now learning what"better" eating is for him. He grew up on German-bent doof like sausages, noodles with sourcream & cottage cheese, LOTS of sweets, braunschweiger with crackers, fried mush, etc, etc. Chip chop ham :yucky:, pepperoni, sausage & double cheese :pizza: :horror:
:cheer: for your dad's well-being. It's so much better when everyone is better. :cheer: :)
The widdle telescope looks super cool. Seestar. See star. :rofl: Reminds me of my seester. :yes:

"And I believe Blue Zone is bestest. And I still cannot accept that meat, butter & salt are the way to greater health. :huh: "
:woe: ALL of the blue zones are very different I just likes the Okinawan bestest :liplick:
Meat, butter & salt :woe: way to miss the pointS yeah like ALL of them :pullhair:
Protein is a very poor energy source BUT it is a :boom: of eberythang the body needz ... the point is to be able to run engine #2 and no it does not run on butter it runs on oil AND you only need about 1 Tbs per day. The salt thang is just by changing from engine #1 to #2 shifts the bodies dynamics and you just NEED more salt :angel:
"Maybe in the short term :yes: but I wonders what the diet does to peoples over the longer term?
Plus...who can affords all that meat? :faint: I absolutely could not eat it unless it was humane/sustainable &/or organic (don't care bout the label just the farming practices). Anyway...the meats I would buy IF I were to buy would be very pricey. :yes: "
Purty much ALL yer diets have been short term :dunno: regardless the point is to eat what makes you healthy THEN change as you change :buttkick:
Also I think it's far more affordable than vegan espeeshully when you factor in the stoopid organic :carp: You should actually research the topic 'cuz many/most only eat once a day and it can be once a day 5 times a week and fasting on the weekend AND it's not hard to does :nono:
"Maybe it's not the meat that's healing the autoimmunities but the lack of ultra-processed & sugars? :scratch:
Same with WFPB...maybe it's what we DON'T eat that matters most? :scratch: "
Holy :carp: Did you just figure that out now :woe: Dang has it been 2 years already :wall:
Anywho I need to :run: BUT you need quantitative data on B adding coconut oil AND carbs is quite literally the opposite of what Dr.E tellz you :horror: I personally recommend following Dr.E's protocol as closely as possible until such a time as B gits results confirming he is "cured" or he'll just do Great until SUDDENLY he's not ... agin :whistle:

"As for cholesterol... I been adding more & more (like 1 can every other week) of coconut milk as well as :popcorn: popped in coconut oil once or twice a month. And :egg: s. I :wub: :egg: s. And avocado toast or even on :egg: sammiches."
:wall:
There's no cholesterol in coconut oil nor avocado's :woe:
Srsly where does you git yer nutritional information? :gaah: 'cuz it's certainly not from me .
Of course both of those I would avoid giving to B since he's prone to oil induced issues. That said between 30% and 50% of coconut oil is "Medium Chain Triglycerides" and 15% to 35% are C6, C8 and C10 which are purty pancreas friendly so J could has more of that oil :yes:

So I have looked into Carnivore dieting & I said exactly what the influencers say. "We eat only meat, butter & salt.". :check: :nana:
It doesn't matter cuz I am never gonna does it. :yucky: I am, and have been, mostly plant-based all my life. :broccoli:
As for :b: . He's gonna get a stress test next June or July but elsewise he's considered 'fine'. :sigh:
And he will not agree to seek out additional testing nor other cardiologists becuz it costs too much $$$.
B agrees with his cardiologist that symptoms are the primary indicator of health. :yes:
And yeah...neither of them are SIGHintists. :rofl:
B also will absolutely not do 100% Esselstyn 100% or even 90% of the time any more. :nonono: He says life is too short to live in deprivation. :chuckle: He says 'I did it for 6 months but now I gotta have a bit more.' But that said, he still does 90% Esselstyn 99% of the time. :yes: And by 'more' he doesn't want nor crave meat...he just wants 1/4 of an avocado with his salad. :sigh: Or a monthly bowl of :popcorn: Or a bi-monthly :egg: sammich.
No I don't buy organic produce. :nonono: The ffuts they sell around here is old, tired, & has no life force. :yucky:
And the offerings are very minimal. I grow 'organic' produce...kinda...cuz I am not loyal to organic seed & have sparingly used kemikill fertilize (cuz organics are not readily available other than fish emulsion but that causes mass critter activity wherever it is put. :no: Seriously...they dig everything up presumably looking for :carp: :rofl: )
Bottom line is that B is doesing fabulously well. :bliss2: He feels good, has tons of energy, NO as in ZERO angina in many months (maybe December of 22?....the last major event was August 22), eats a boatload of vegetables & fruits every day. He is a kaerf cardiac patient cuz he is regressing instead of progressing in the CVD. Funny last time we saw the cardiologist he says "You may want to stop the blood pressure medications now" & B says, "I haven't taken that in nearly a year" & his eyes got wide like :horror: :shock: . He checked the chart & says, "Wow. That's incredible.".
So he takes spirulina, D3 & B12. I think that's it. He might still be taking the baby aspirin cuz he's brainwashed by all the commercials & such. :chuckle:
As for coconut & my 'research'.... Mayo Clinic? :scratch:
QuoteMyth: Coconut oil is a heart-healthy cooking alternative.
The argument: Coconut oil is extremely high in saturated fat — about 50 percent more than butter, even.
But despite that saturated fat is known to raise cholesterol levels, linked with heart disease risk, proponents believe that some saturated fats in coconut oil (called medium-chain triglycerides) are less harmful and may actually raise levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol.
The reality: Coconut oil has been shown to raise cholesterol levels — the good and the bad kinds — more than other plant-based oils like olive or canola. And in truth, medium-chain triglycerides make up only a small amount of the fatty acids in coconut oil.
Plus, while other heart-healthy fats like olive oil, canola oil, or omega-3 fatty acids in nuts and seafood have been supported by a large body of evidence, coconut oil's supposed benefits still haven't been proved in large-scale human research
https://www.mayoclinic.org/dont-get-tricked-by-these-3-heart-health-myths/art-20390070#:~:text=Myth%3A%20Coconut%20oil%20is%20a%20heart%2Dhealthy%20cooking%20alternative.&text=The%20reality%3A%20Coconut%20oil%20has,fatty%20acids%20in%20coconut%20oil.
The rest of the article says basically that :egg: are fine & omega 3 supplements are useless.
I don't care what any research says I still believe that :popcorn: popped in coconut oil is better for us that :popcorn: popped in corn oil or canola or whateverothercaarpy oil. B always wants to eat the free :popcorn: at Rural King & I always say "No...I'll make some at home." cuz theirs is greasy with that butter-flavored popcorn oil.

Um also I git the impression you thinxz I'm suggesting you/B/and ghurl childe makes 3 should somehow embrace the ways of the carnivore :om:
:thwack: :buttkick: No it would quickly killz B and prolly send J into a pancreatic nightmare aka diabetes type 3c :horror:
:secret: that's when you is pancreaselos :sofa:
Anywho NO :nono: B should remain on Dr.E's WTFPB diet until such a time as he gits proof he's been healed :cleanse: The carnivore diet is the HIGH protein version of a keto diet and neither is suitable for a person who literally has pro inflammatory responses to various oils :nonono: AND has known arterial blockages taboot :woe:
J should likely be on a higher protein diet with lower fat/oil in general or atleast lowering the amount of longer chain {C12+} triglycerides but she should also has higher amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber PLUS a regular probiotic :yes:
Youse is just gonna eat what yer gonna eat :roll: but the wrinkles and continued :sun: :egg: sposure suggests you should has way more protein and vitamin C than you can git from plants alone :moon:
That said the one {possibly two} person{s} who would benefit from carnivore though I would say keto diet is durt momma and quite likely ZA :yes: She's the one with the slooowly :bump: ing A1C.
Srsly though I'm not completely sure why yer going off on an alternative diet that you literally noes nuthin about :dunno: Yes, B would be happier eating :cow: and he can surely use some additional nutrients :yes: but it would likely killz him 'cuz he is/was not oil ready :nono:

:woe: That's NOT research you just googled "Myth Coconut oil is a heart healthy cooking alternative " :woe: iffen you search for misinformation you will find it :therethere:
Coconut oil does not contain cholesterol :nono: but it does contain oddles of triglycerides like all the other cooking oils as well as lard :yes: Iffen yer body needs more cholesterol it can make it faster from coconut oil because it's got better easier components to absorb and use :yes: You can also increase your sugar/carb intake to promote triglyceride formation, with fat storage and also :bump: your cholesterol :horror:
Your body can make cholesterol from dang near anything and that's because ebery single cell needs the ffuts. Iffen you want to research what doof :bump: s cholesterol without containing any first research how the body makes it and why THEN you can feed it whateber ya likes :yes:
FYI: You can use copra oil which is the non-virgin coconut oil it wont cause the cholesterol :bump: but it's also lacking all of the benefits of coconut oil ... it's basically just regular low end cooking oil :oz:
"The rest of the article says basically that :egg: are fine & omega 3 supplements are useless."
Yeah WebMD is pretty much useless :therethere: they don't really research anything and just tote the line of the medical community.
Anywho as mentioned afores doktorz are not psighentists :nono: ... the big problem is they are close enough to those doesing actual research that they sometimez grab onto ideas and just :run: with them :woe: Anywho cholesterol is really neither here nor there ... it plays a role in many diseases but only 'cuz it's involved in eberythang.

Anywho thinxz of the glycocalyx like :cheese: cloth ... handy, werks, well but as soon as a hole appears it's pretty much useless :unthumbs: So you need a new one and life goes on :thumbs: The problem is some thangs :thwack: the glycocalyx in unholy wayz :cleanse: I'm talking unnaturally aggressive hole poking :no: Thangs that create :egg: treme oxidative stress like :smokes: various drugs and :boom: once a hole appears it needs to be fixed and iffen the body takes too long or too many holes too fast ... ffuts git through that shouldn't oughta be getting through like them small bullet LDL.

Wrong! :wedgie:
I believe you brought it up. I only peeked at it first out of curiosity & second becuz you recommended it for Mom & ZA.
They both said "Absolutely not", btw. :rofl: Neither of them are meat lovers & neither are willing to do any restrictions whatsoever (no keto either :nonono: ).
And wrong again :buttkick: I googled coconut oil nutrition. I just quickly copied the first 'reputable' (Mayoclinic.org NOT WebMD. :p ) article I came across. :nana: Why would I 'try' to disprove something I wanted to believe 'good'? :huh:
Anyway... I don't care. :wiggle: My wrinkles are well-earned & add character. :drama: Most peoples still think I am at least 10 years younger than I really am even with the :sun: kissed look.
Today is grocery day & I will buy half a cart full of fresh produce & fruits as well as 6 pounds of frozen berries, 3 or 4 tofu packages, 2 almond milk (unsweetened) & some whole wheat bread. Other than maybe a box of oats, that's about it. :yes:
Last night we had kale spaghetti for the first time in ages & it was so doog. Made me think of your dad & how he/you might like it for a change. I had whole grain spaghetti & added a whole bunch of chopped kale to the water as it cooked. Drained that, put it back in the pot & added a jar of marinara & half a cup of TVP rehydrated with water, tamari & red hot. Simple & yummy.
J & I top ours with nutritional yeast. B 'just barely' likes nooch. :chuckle:

I mentioned the carnivore diet as the :egg: treme end of the keto diet and that was because a ketovore diet is the easiest to does for a week AND has the most benefits including the potential of meaningful autophagy.
You all really need to research what ffuts is afores just :buttkick: ing the concept based on the name :woe: You even mentioned durt momma was on metformin, the hyaluronic acid was werken AND her A1C was creeping up.

Fine I sed webmd instead of :mayo: but otherwise nope you copied yer search criteria into the url :yes:
The Green bits are yer google search query :moon:
Iffen that's not what you typed it's still what you searched for but due to google altering your query to what it thinxz you is looking for :yes: After that those are the wurdz that google highlighted for you in the website :angel:
Um since when is Mayoclinic considered "reputable "? :scratch: ... they is a hopsickle system :dunno:
Anywho google "sugar cholesterol connection " there's far more useful and more reputable data for that :yes: but in general there is doof WITH cholesterol and doof with WITHOUT cholesterol. You can :bump: cholesterol from doof WITH by about 20% otherwise yer body makes the rest as it seez fit :flex: otherwise most oils do not has cholesterol 'cept delicious lard :liplick: ... maybe others :dunno: but most nu uh :nono:

K I'm starting to feelz eber so slightly bad that ebrythang I sez starts off with some version of :woe: yer wrong ... but continuing in that vein :woe: Don't throw away yer kale water :thwack: not only is it the a useful flavourful part but the organo nitrates that promote the endothelial's are water soluble AND boiling to soften kale breaks the cells open spilling the nutrients out. Like the pot liquor from southern collard greens ... it's kinda the best and most nutritious part.
Anywho I cut and steam kale until it is soft/edible then use the residual liquid for thangs ... like with pasta ... Brits don't like noodles :nonono: but fusili is doog and with kale, kale juice and Dad brand :tomatoe: s ... well that's basically what he eats :yes: No nooch though :nono: but caramelized onions to offset the tomato acidity and disgusting grilled suckini :drama: Yeah that's his thang though I also likes to mix in some olive tapenade :liplick:

"And wrong again :buttkick: I googled coconut oil nutrition. I just quickly copied the first 'reputable' (Mayoclinic.org NOT WebMD. :p ) article I came across. :nana: ... "
Fine I sed webmd instead of :mayo: but otherwise nope you copied yer search criteria into the url :yes:

The Green bits are yer google search query :moon:
Iffen that's not what you typed it's still what you searched for but due to google altering your query to what it thinxz you is looking for :yes: After that those are the wurdz that google highlighted for you in the website :angel:
Um since when is Mayoclinic considered "reputable "? :scratch: ... they is a hopsickle system :dunno:
Anywho google "sugar cholesterol connection " there's far more useful and more reputable data for that :yes: but in general there is doof WITH cholesterol and doof with WITHOUT cholesterol. You can :bump: cholesterol from doof WITH by about 20% otherwise yer body makes the rest as it seez fit :flex: otherwise most oils do not has cholesterol 'cept delicious lard :liplick: ... maybe others :dunno: but most nu uh :nono:
"... Why would I 'try' to disprove something I wanted to believe 'good'? :huh: "
I neber said you was trying to disprove nuthin :nono: regardless of what you beleeb :horror: I just said neither coconut oil nor avocado contained cholesterol :oz: You can beleeb they does iffen it makes you happy :yes:
"Anyway... I don't care. :wiggle: My wrinkles are well-earned & add character. :drama: Most peoples still think I am at least 10 years younger than I really am even with the :sun: kissed look."
Just 10 years :hmm2: most guys learn to guess 20y low or simply abstain from the soon to be Kobayashi Maru situation :angel:
"Last night we had kale spaghetti for the first time in ages & it was so doog. Made me think of your dad & how he/you might like it for a change. I had whole grain spaghetti & added a whole bunch of chopped kale to the water as it cooked. Drained that, put it back in the pot & added a jar of marinara & half a cup of TVP rehydrated with water, tamari & red hot. Simple & yummy."
K I'm starting to feelz eber so slightly bad that ebrythang I sez starts off with some version of :woe: yer wrong ... but continuing in that vein :woe: Don't throw away yer kale water :thwack: not only is it the a useful flavourful part but the organo nitrates that promote the endothelial's are water soluble AND boiling to soften kale breaks the cells open spilling the nutrients out. Like the pot liquor from southern collard greens ... it's kinda the best and most nutritious part.
Anywho I cut and steam kale until it is soft/edible then use the residual liquid for thangs ... like with pasta ... Brits don't like noodles :nonono: but fusili is doog and with kale, kale juice and Dad brand :tomatoe: s ... well that's basically what he eats :yes: No nooch though :nono: but caramelized onions to offset the tomato acidity and disgusting grilled suckini :drama: Yeah that's his thang though I also likes to mix in some olive tapenade :liplick:
Anywho has a doog weekend :wave: it's Fryday :woohoo:
and kale day ... agin ... yeah :roll:

Ya no doubt losteded the memo :drama: but I've posteded it a few timez iffen you don't want to dig through pubmed, ncbi or the places that publish the actual peer reviewed research you should use cochrane.org (https://www.cochrane.org/) they aggregate and properly evaluate the published findings and asses it's level of accuracy and likelihood of being correct :angel:
From the Dr.E thread ...
"Nordic Cochrane Collaboration this is a place I goto to git unbiased or the least biased information on subjects I doesn't noes well and they do espeeshully doog meta reviews :thumbs:"
Anywho here's an :egg: ample of Cochrane Reviews for "Low level laser therapy for rheumatoid arthritis" ... this was from a search for "red light therapy" but note that they make no mention of wavelengths or timez AND this is regarding lasers not LEDs, however, all of them thangs are included in the meta analysis :yes:
At the very bottom they givez a quality of evidence assessment {aka silver level for LLLT} and the author's conclusions which usually involves pointing out where the research is lacking, the weakest points or where more research is needed :yes:
Iffen you search for "diet CVD" you will git a doog overall of the various diets and how they effect CVD :yes:
Anywho, these are the BEST meta analysis you can find on the web :yes: the pubmed and ncbi papers are the cutting edge of research sometimez even the "bleeding edge" which is the still being tested ffuts :oz:

Low-hanging fruit... that's what the good doctor said about vitamin D supplementation.
I will watch it later cuz it's quite inneresting. :righton: Ain't gots 16 minutes right now.
And I bookmarked the cochrane link. :check:
And yes you 'should' use your Dad's car. :yes:
$6 a gallon is ridiculous. It is literally half that here. $2.99 a day or 2 ago & I gots $2.80 off per gallon from Kroger fuel points to use as well. Can only use $1 at a time (up to 35 gallons) but still that makes the $2.99, $1.99 for me. :cheer:
Gotta chauffeur Mom to Clarksville today for a toof extraction. :scared: It's about a 90 minute drive. :wiggle:
And gotta water real quick. :run: Apposta be 85 today & then :shiver: tomorrow. Gots a 'cold snap' but no frost :cheer: coming.
I am spending a final few minutes with 'my' hummingbirds cuz I noes they are leaving any day now. They'll likely hop on the front & scoot on down to Mehico. :luvcry: I dunno why but it always makes me so sad. :sigh:
And then tomorrow & Friday we gots to bring all the tropical plants inside. Last I saw the forecast was a low of 37 on Friday! :shiver:
Funny, the last couple years the hummingbirds have left on the 5th. Or rather, the 5th of October was the first morning I missed them. Seems they're pretty doog with calendars. :rofl:
K. Have a doog day.
Clarksville. :sigh: The home of Fort Campbell.... Fort Campbell Population as of Q3FY23: Active Military: 27,006. Family Members: 51,480. Civilians: 6,385.
It's somethin for sure. As you get close to Clarksville there are miles & miles & miles of tall, barbed fencing along the highway that delineates the base. :scared: 105,000 acres. :faint: :secret: I just googled.

"Low-hanging fruit... that's what the good doctor said about vitamin D supplementation."
Yup :yes: his asplainz are real doog :thumbs: but one thang to note is that the cutoff is 25ng/mL as being nermal <25ng/mL :bump: s Dementia and more means less or :bump: Down :scratch: Anywho the US sez 20ng/mL is nermal or specifically that it is "adequate" :roll: and only at the 12ng/mL level or less is considered "too low" :wall:
Oh also 50ng/mL is considered "too HIGH" but that's the number I shoot for though with siguie brand oscillating timing :secret: mostly Wynterz :whistle:
Anyways I has BULKSUPPLEMENTS.COM Vitamin D3 Powder - Cholecalciferol (https://amzn.to/3rwsgBk) <= Amazon Link
For Dad Vitamin D3 K2 Gummies 10000 IU with Calcium 100mg (https://amzn.to/3tlfPJ7) <= Amazon Link
Also Dad's gummies are 10000 IU which is two times too muches for him BUT one dose is 2 gummies so he gits just one a day 8) Oh and the added Calcium is just for marketing but the K2 is doog so I supplement him with that peppermint oil so he gits the FULL dose :flex:
FYI: The real ... as near as I can tell from researching available data ... DANGER level for vitamin D in the blood :suck: is 150ng/mL and this is only as a prolonged many months level ... and for the most part it's just nausea so I risk it for me 8) As in I don't monitor my vitamin D levelz :nono: but I vary supplementation amounts to be 70,000 to 100,000 IU on occasion :yes:
$2 gas :faint: that hasn't been a thang here since early covid and even then it was never below $2 just $2 plus change :nickel: s.

It's a nice, light but steady rain here today. :umbrella:
So Mom's toof had already been crowned but then broke off at or nearly beneath the gumline so an oral surgeon was commissioned. It's upper right & the one in front of the molar so she is fine to live without it. :yes:
She won't pay for an implant for a toof that doesn't show. :chuckle:
But she is excellent this morning...no swelling, no pain. :cheer:
The D3 I have is Zahler 50,000 IU. The ingredients: Ingredients
Vitamin D3 50,000 IU, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Silica
According to Amazon I have bought the same 5x now so I reckon none of us have been side-affected. :chuckle:
We take them weekly, or sporadically, in the :sun: times & B takes them daily during the no-sun season & prolly needs them daily year-round. Dr Pagano of the infamous Pogo diet recommended the 50k IU daily for psoriasis.
Mom was taking the same weekly & her practitioner commented awhile back on how "fabulous her vitamin D levels were".
And no, I don't know what her levels were at cuz she doesn't know..or care. :rofl:
So recently I've learned that dark-skinned peoples absorb less from the :sun: and that makes me wonder about the opposite.
My grandfather, Buddy, who had dementia, was the whitest of all white people. :faint: Like glow-in-the-dark white. :eek:
He wore long sleeve shirts as a farmer & all year long. And baseball caps to shade his face. And never wore shorts in his life other than the knickers he wore as a kid in the 1920s :chuckle: He had tanned hands & the funniest keyhole tan spots on his wrists from the button area (always buttoned, never rolled up :scared: ).
He never took D3 as far as I know. :nonono:
The sad reason he (& his peers) protected themselves from the sun was becuz they did not want to tan. Not at all.
If you were tanned it made you look like a farmer or black person so they were super careful not to expose skin to :sun: :sigh:

It's Freakin HOT :gaah: 93°F :frantic: :faint:
"She won't pay for an implant for a toof that doesn't show. :chuckle: "
Well many medical/dental coverages are now covering implants because they reduce later issues like teef subsidence and issues with jaw deformationing :yes: Also the prices have dropped enough that it's in the same ballpark as a new crown :yes: Last time dad literally just didn't want to deal with the whole crown and probable root canal so he just sed pull it, pack it {bone graph} and reinstall :thumbs:
"The D3 I have is Zahler 50,000 IU. The ingredients: Ingredients
Vitamin D3 50,000 IU, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Silica"
Ok that's doog ffuts :yes: though the add sez "softgel" it looks like a gel cap and the ingredients sound gel cappy :yes: Of course ideally you want to take it with oil since it is better absorbed that way BUT the dose is so high it might be a plus that it takes longer to absorb :dunno:
Oh and D3 is NOT the really REAL vitamin D :nono: what the :sun: makes is also a precursor molecule ... yer skin basically cannot make too muches but YES you can takes too muches :no: Anywho the thang to keep in mind is that D3 needs to be absorbed into the blood stream THEN git shuttled to the liver for initial processing THEN shuttled over to the kidneys for final processing and THEN it's considered ACTIVATED vitamin D aka 25-hydroxyvitamin D aka calcidiol. The point is vitamin D blood :suck: levelz don't level up so fast :rimshot: There's also many reasons why yer liver or kidneys may not does a doog boj or even yer digestive processes fail on the uptake ... some of the reasons are genetic others are personal and one I noes is environmental :yes:
For realz :yes: air pollution is a big factor in reducing vitamin D from the :sun: more importantly diesel fumes from :tractor: s play an important role 'cuz I guess pHarm toyz don't have the same regulatory requirements :dunno: Anywho, even without :sun: :egg: sposure Buddy prolly woulda had low D anywho :therethere:
Also one of the points I keeps trying to makes :blah: :blah: no matter how much :sun: you git ... even iffen you :run: nekkid ALL day you can and likely will still be D deficient :yes: ... ya noes unless yea eat :cow: of course :whistle:
Fer realz :yes: iffen ya does the math ... evolutionarily speaken ... there's no way to git sufficient vit. D without getting "some" from ones diet ... it just seems like hoomanz evolved to optimize vit.D from :sun: AND animulez :yes:
Oh and be sure you keep up a "daily" K2 regimen :yes: K2 circulates for daze and depending on how ones body processes all that D3 it's kinda important :whistle:
K now that sed ... Apparently 1 yer not really one for following bread crumbs or putting puzzle pieces together ... no doubt enjoying the natural chaotic beauty :om: and of course you will see eberythang in perspective B ... so here goes ... du Duh DUNN ...
:horn: The Coimbra protocol :horror:
This protocol shows a high incidence of "curing" MS { :secret: Muscular Sclerosis} and or GREATLY improving patient states :yes:
K so here's the thang I'm doog at puzzles in fact it annoys me to see sumthin that werks and not unerstanz why like the WTFPB thang :scratch: Also I'm purty sure these are all related ...
But why MS? you ask ... doog question :yes: Answer: there's a strong correlation with Rheumatoid Arthritis {RA}. The thang is RA is sumthin you can live with while MS not so muches :nono: This means there is a lot more qualitative data on MS and since peoplez with either far more frequently git the other there is also crossover information. This is also why patients who have an autoimmune disease are 25% more likely of getting a 2nd or 3rd :horror:
So what is the link? obliviously it's vitamin D :yes:
SO ... :whatever: ... just git more :sun: or supplements and eberyone is cured :happydance: :yes: :yes: :nono: nope solly :therethere:
Wait a sec why is the Carnivore diet in the mix? :scratch: Answer: Vitamin D :angel:
Ya see many people thinxz D3 is vitamin D but likes I mentioned above no it isn't :nono: There is really REAL vitamin D in :cow: ... no processing required PLUS meat is densly packed with ALL the thangs a healthy body needz ... ya noes in addition to the active D :angel:
Here's the thang there are ways of "safely" taking massive doses of D :yes: Slooowly :bump: ing amounts blindly over time is NOT one of them :nono: and Failure means the :end: :bye:
Safety Data in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases during Treatment with High Doses of Vitamin D3 According to the "Coimbra Protocol" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9033096/)
Vitamin D Resistance as a Possible Cause of Autoimmune Diseases: A Hypothesis Confirmed by a Therapeutic High-Dose Vitamin D Protocol (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8058406/)
K I'm not recommending nor saying anyone should try or does anythin :nono: BUT I likes the siguie brand carnivore/keto seasonal diet with concomitant siguie brand :superman: dose D3 :angel:
On a side note: There is data showing that insulin resistance is inversely related to vitamin D blood levelz :suck:

For realz :yes: air pollution is a big factor in reducing vitamin D from the :sun: more importantly diesel fumes from :tractor: s play an important role 'cuz I guess pHarm toyz don't have the same regulatory requirements :dunno: Anywho, even without :sun: :egg: sposure Buddy prolly woulda had low D anywho :therethere:
Also one of the points I keeps trying to makes :blah: :blah: no matter how much :sun: you git ... even iffen you :run: nekkid ALL day you can and likely will still be D deficient :yes: ... ya noes unless yea eat :cow: of course :whistle:
Fer realz :yes: iffen ya does the math ... evolutionarily speaken ... there's no way to git sufficient vit. D without getting "some" from ones diet ... it just seems like hoomanz evolved to optimize vit.D from :sun: AND animulez :yes:
Oh and be sure you keep up a "daily" K2 regimen :yes: K2 circulates for daze and depending on how ones body processes all that D3 it's kinda important :whistle:
K now that sed ... Apparently 1 yer not really one for following bread crumbs or putting puzzle pieces together ... no doubt enjoying the natural chaotic beauty :om: and of course you will see eberythang in perspective B ... so here goes ... du Duh DUNN ...
:horn: The Coimbra protocol :horror:
This protocol shows a high incidence of "curing" MS { :secret: Muscular Sclerosis} and or GREATLY improving patient states :yes:
K so here's the thang I'm doog at puzzles in fact it annoys me to see sumthin that werks and not unerstanz why like the WTFPB thang :scratch: Also I'm purty sure these are all related ...
- The Coimbra protocol
- There is also Dr. Wahls's Protocol of Kale :yucky: which also "cures" MS :faint:
- Then of course there is the Carnivore Diet which has literally "cured" many diabetics and appears to werk better than the keto diet :yes:
- Dr.E's protocol {WTFPB}
But why MS? you ask ... doog question :yes: Answer: there's a strong correlation with Rheumatoid Arthritis {RA}. The thang is RA is sumthin you can live with while MS not so muches :nono: This means there is a lot more qualitative data on MS and since peoplez with either far more frequently git the other there is also crossover information. This is also why patients who have an autoimmune disease are 25% more likely of getting a 2nd or 3rd :horror:
So what is the link? obliviously it's vitamin D :yes:
SO ... :whatever: ... just git more :sun: or supplements and eberyone is cured :happydance: :yes: :yes: :nono: nope solly :therethere:
Wait a sec why is the Carnivore diet in the mix? :scratch: Answer: Vitamin D :angel:
Ya see many people thinxz D3 is vitamin D but likes I mentioned above no it isn't :nono: There is really REAL vitamin D in :cow: ... no processing required PLUS meat is densly packed with ALL the thangs a healthy body needz ... ya noes in addition to the active D :angel:
Here's the thang there are ways of "safely" taking massive doses of D :yes: Slooowly :bump: ing amounts blindly over time is NOT one of them :nono: and Failure means the :end: :bye:
Safety Data in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases during Treatment with High Doses of Vitamin D3 According to the "Coimbra Protocol" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9033096/)
Vitamin D Resistance as a Possible Cause of Autoimmune Diseases: A Hypothesis Confirmed by a Therapeutic High-Dose Vitamin D Protocol (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8058406/)
K I'm not recommending nor saying anyone should try or does anythin :nono: BUT I likes the siguie brand carnivore/keto seasonal diet with concomitant siguie brand :superman: dose D3 :angel:
On a side note: There is data showing that insulin resistance is inversely related to vitamin D blood levelz :suck:
Fryday-eve :cheer: in the super HIGH heat agin tomorrow ... to eat Kale ... joy ... :sigh:

So, sig...in a related vein ZA just had a repeat dexa scan cuz she had significant bone loss in her heels & ankles & slight bone loss in the hips. She's been taking a high powered calcium/d3/k2/?? supplement that she buys from a chiropractor & guess what?
The bone loss in her feetz & ankles is now negligible. But the loss in the hips had increased, although just slightly.
Supposedly bone loss is irreversible in a 73 year old lady. :chuckle:
So yes, D3 + K2 = DK5 for autoimmune diseases. :check:
And as for puzzling, etc... not a priority for the bit of time I have free.
So what's going on that I don't talk about but prolly need to vent once in awhile...
2 17 year old cats, 1 16 year old cat, 1 overweight & unwell 10ish year old dog.
It's a lot. :faint:
Shaggy, the 16 year old cat, seems to have dementia. All 3 elder cats are deaf. Shaggy has begun to wander. :sigh:
All last week I was sad & looking for him. He spent 2 nights outside...somewhere...and we both spent many minutes/hours with flashlights looking underneath the multitude of growing hiding places. He came back both times but now I watch him like a 2 year old. :yes: He won't stay in.
Anyway...all 3 cats are wiry & bony & Shaggy's back legs are no longer cooperating. He sleeps on top of us all night long. :faint:
Sweets & Stripes, the 2 eldest seesters, both scream out at night for no apparent reason. Stripes pees in inappropriate places & sneezes...a lot! (Their brother, Shadow, SUDDENLY developed a pneumonia of sorts where his lungs filled up & Stripes seems headed that way).
Cookie...oh dear Cookie. :sigh: Last night I thought she was gonna kill Sweets cuz Sweets went towards her doof. :scared:
I grabbed her collar just in time but she did not give up the wild dog attack until B came & got her & I snagged Sweets.
We measure & restrict her doof yet still she remains overweight. :sigh: And she STILL...after 5 years here...is not fully housebroken. :gaah: She just doesn't get it. :sigh: She's not bright at all.
So...the :cloud: overhead is becuz all 4 of them are on 'borrowed time' in a sense.
But the :rainbow: portends that my life will become much lighter when I have fewer messes & fewer mouths to feed.
And then we can get new flooring. :yes: And furniture cuz Stripes' favorite current place to pee is B's chair.. :gaah: We keep it covered with a cheap shower liner & I use way too many puppy pads trying to prevent permanent damage.
Oh & then in the younger cats we still gots Swami & Snoop who 'fight to the death' about every 2 weeks. :bawling:
Swami has pretty much moved outside. He comes in to eat & then right back out.
That leaves Sasha & Spanky who are both mild mannered, sweet & cause little to no messes nor problems. :yes:
But the 4 older ones get most of my time now. Sometimes I just have to sit and hold the elder girls. :wub: :luvcry:
It's just a matter of time.
Oh & just this year we've battled fleas for the first time since living here. And ear mites, also for the first time.
So I have become a pseudo clean freak. :rofl: Cleaning all the time. All. The. Time.
Becuz the clean only lasts a few hours.
This too shall pass but I shan't dare wish it to be over becuz that is wishing them dead. :bawling:
Anyway... Princess is my hero. :wubsigh: She's the one-eyed cat who was missing for 10 days & survived.
And B said that yesterday morning she caught a widdle mouse. :rofl: Outside. :yes: She is tough as nails. :shera:
And that... is where we're at. :check:
Tho today is about mowing at Mom's (it rained yesterday on mow day) & getting all the tropicals indoors. :yes:
Gonna get down in the 40s, maybe even upper 30s for the next few days. Gonna flip the veranda from jasmines & hibiscus & gardenia & more to potted kale & chard & spinach & pansies & violas & more... :fall:

...
Well koolz and doog for her :beerme:
As it coinkadinkilly turns out red/infrared light is very doog for bone health :yes: Plus iffen sumthin was to happen adipose derived stem cells with pHotobiomodulation can rebuild specific sites :yes:
Ask her iffen that high powered D3K2 ffuts also includes Magnesium?
Most of them speeshul blends are fine but use Calcium Carbonate as the calcium source which is also fine BUT the caveat is that it also neutralizes stomach acids :horror: Agin not a problem :egg: cept that will greatly reduce the Magnesium absorption :darn:
Hasing Calcium and Magnesium together is generally a doog thang but I recommend ... and has ... Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate :yes: And in HELL country tanassi I also recommend Potassium Citrate :thumbs:
Ya seez not only can you :bump: yer bone resources but them 3 ingredients are also ideal for making siguie brand electrolyte :electrocute: water. Oh and yes you"can" git Sodium Citrate too but I just use doog salt :angel:
FYI: most peoples are low on Potassium {rda 3.5g-4.7g} and this is also a reason many people are on bp medications they shouldn't need :nono:
Anywho Calcium Citrate + Magnesium Citrate + K1 + both types of K2 and a mega D3 with red/infrared light therapy ftw :thumbs:
"So yes, D3 + K2 = DK5 for autoimmune diseases. :check:

And just to be very very clear ...
"... Slooowly :bump: ing amounts blindly over time is NOT one of them :nono: and Failure means the :end: :bye: "
:carp: it looks like the US decided to ban the instant vitamin D test kits :woe: NOW they are all send yer blood :suck: to a lab :wall:
Well I might be adding a few to the next bundles of ffuts I git from the UK or India :sigh:
They are not great :nono: but for $8 to $15 {was ~$40 from Amazon} you git to noes iffen you is ~20ng/mL {aka nermal} above or below but now no morez :gaah:
Whew :heat: that was close ... I just ordered 4 tests from a place in the UK ... eBay link (https://www.ebay.com/itm/223908160721)
The shipping charges and tax are are about what the thangs cost :woe: BUT all together it werks out that each test costs $13.75 which isn't terrible :nono: But they is gonna be taking a slooow boat to git here :drama:
Anywho they is under $2 in India and ~$5 in the uk ... they are "negative value" tests so iffen you had zero vitamin D in yer blood you would seez the most intense indicator ... at 30ng/mL and above you'll seez the default :ghost: line. These thangs are best used on those with very low D numbers and are titrating UP.
FYI: In general it takes 2 to 3 weeks of daily D3 supplementation to seez a blood :suck: value change and that change should roughly be 10ng/mL per 1,000 IU taken daily. Though usually low levelz ... under 30ng/mL ... rise faster while higher levelz rise slooowly so shooting for say 50 ng/mL from 30 should take 5,000 IU daily over 2 to 3 weeks but for me took 10,000 IU and closer to 2 months :gaah:
FYI#2: I thinxz 50ng/ml is a doog number :yes: relatively high but not skeery HIGH :horror:
Dang :therethere:
Yeah venting is doog :yes: the hardest part of life is dealing when the end can be seen and it's not yours :sigh:
I really suck at that part :ashamed:
On the positive side furry fambily memberz also seem to confer additional years onto the caretakers livez :yes: so even though it might be hard it's possible you three are also alive on account of them and iffen nuthin else you've learned some valuable cleaning skillz :yes: :tomato:
But I does feelz bad for you :therethere: sometimez caring is a curse :sigh:
:kickcan:
It's FRY Fryday 94°F and 97°F at Dad's :aaahhh: AND it's a Kale daze :no:

I'm better in the winter cuz, obliviously, I am indoors more. :chuckle:
And :thanks: for the kind words abouts the critters. :hugs: Most days it's just what it is & it also brings a lotta :wub: and joy & laughter. Some days it's real heavy mostly with work to does. The sad mostly stays at bay. :chuckle:
Yeah, I dunno. Seems we are 'commissioned' to be caretakers.
Oh, I read that the oldest living cat is 26!!
:bsl:
That's 9 more years. :faint: :candle: for me :rofl:

:aaahhh: :aaahhh: :aaahhh: 91°F :no: Dad's is 94°F :faint:
Oh and the greatest ... possibly worst aka most dangerous present I eber gave Dad ... his new office/computer chair :horror:
He likes boxing himself in when on the computer and it took foreber for him to skooch out or back in 'cuz the casters were :carp: and the chair was heavy and bulky :unthumbs:
So I gotted him a sleek new one and put on speeshul castor wheelz ... basically biggee sized skateboard wheelz. Iffen he stands up too quick the thang just smooothly glides 60 feetz or so to tap the back sliding door :hysterical: But now he has learned the joys of office chair gliding and rolls around the kitchen to git :pie: then back agin :yes: I learned this because there are now large tapped padded bumperz at sitting head and arm heights all along that path :hysterical:

Yep....skeery whurld so not kicking up any dust with Jah. :matt:
And THIS.... genieass :wedgie: ....
Creme Puff (1967–2005) of Austin, Texas, is the oldest verified cat ever, while Flossie (born 29 December 1995) is the oldest living fully verified cat as of 2022 at nearly 27 years.
I said the oldest living cat in the US is 26. Creme Puff is not alive :nonono: And Flossie...well, Flossie is 27 as of last December IF she is still alive. :dunno: The article I read said 26 but it obliviously was old.
:bsl:
We got sooooo much done over the weekend. And yesterday I went :splat:
We gotted all the tropicals happily arranged & lighted in the living room. :flowerom:
And potted 30+ biggie size pots of kale, chard, lettuces, pansies & violas for winter on the veranda. :snowball:
And B gotted the guest room converted into a 'Lab'. :huh: Yes, that's what he's calling it cuz he has so many houseplant 'speriments' ongoing. :rofl: We are also putting overwinterers (9 big beautiful peeper plants that have been stripped & trimmed) & laters the annual that may reseed or hang on...
And I gotted the basil pulled up, a couple potted, some new growth in water for rootage, & the rest is hanging in the Lab. :chuckle:
I have so many growing things it feels like :spring: :oz: :bliss: I gots green onion & cilantro & basil growing on the windowsill (and 2 rooty avocados that need potting...
AND... B has brought home 2 shipping containers (& there may be more to come) that are 3'x3'x2'. Big wooden crates with lids. :yes: And guess what they gonna be??? Raised beds! :happydance: A happy place for root vegetables...and an easy place to cold frame or protect from stoopy cold...
It's been down to upper 30s & 40s the past few nights so the tropicals ( a couple dozen or so :ashamed: ) had to migrate whilst the tougher annuals can stay til frostiness.
And speaking of migrating the hummingbirds are gone :bye: :wub: but there are still a few monarchs :butterfly:
And today....me & the girls (Jacki, Mom & ZA) are headed to Jackson where she & I will see the Paw Patrol movie :dog: :superman: :dog: and Mom & ZA are headed to Skecher's Outlet & Kohl's. :check:
And yes, all 3 major news channels have been broadcasting war wall-to-wall. :huh: I'm not yet certain why they want everyone to feel the horror & choose a side. :huh: But I tolded B last night that we don't hafta get sucked in if we don't want to. We can still hold :peace: & send :love: to all affected but we ain't gots to get emotionally involved.

:flyball:
"... B has brought home 2 shipping containers (& there may be more to come) that are 3'x3'x2'. "
Why would you want that as a raised bed? :scratch: Iffen you could put a latch on the bottom that would be perfect for :tater: pHarmin :yes: Where you harvest by unlatching the bottom and has the durt/sand medium fall through a chicken wire collector :thumbs:
Personally I'd sez throw some wheelz on the thang and start yer agrovoltaics journey :cheer: you can git plants AND :electrocute: PLUS it's easy to wheelz around :wheee:
Oh and yesterday was another Kale Night :horror: but one nuf thang was dad basically neber gits out of his seat and wheelz to the kitchen and back in his racing chair :hysterical: I put really doog wheelz on his new office chair :chuckle:
Oh for yer laboratory of plant horrors ... take a look at "Emergency Blankets" they is the mirrored film thangs and generally just the right sized for plant :egg: speriments :yes: They is good reflectors AND insulators PLUS are water proofed ... just using them as a backdrop against a wall can :bump: light levelz OR bounce light to where other plants need it :yes:
Also these blankets weigh almost nuthin so you can hang them around those hanging grow lights to make a growding chamber of :horror: :muaha: Srsly it's quick easy and werks rather well :angel:
Oh and has you reconsidered the :mushrooms: pHarmin idea 'cuz it's a doog one :yes: ... so I'm guessing no ... :sigh:

Um yeah :roll: that's great 'n all but I was thinking more along the lines of investing in 155mm shells and ammo manufactured in the US 'cuz those companies should see a 6 to 10 fold increase in demand :yesss: or :no: depending on how you looks at it I suppose :dunno:
Also Ukraines taking back the Black Sea means that Ukranian grain can start being shipped out again since it provided 30% of the whurled grains BUT since the war has gone over a year their output is severely diminished, adding that into India's no rice :egg: port and China's well eberythang doof shortage wise THEN with el nino and well heck there's soooo many places to invest it's hard to decide :drama:
Srsly then theirs Bidenomics with a large :bump: in boj numbers, which means the Fed will likely :bump: interest rates making treasury notes appealing BUT this could push the rest of the whurled into recession :frantic: thus strengthening the dollar meaning more people will want to travel next year making travel stocks appealing ... yeah yeah I noes Apparently 1 :rbrain: s and :lbrain: types see the :earth: slightly different :whistle:
Paw Patrol :scratch: it sounds like yer looking for more animulez to replace yer dwindling supply :scratch: I wunderz iffen the universe is listening ... :muaha:

"... B has brought home 2 shipping containers (& there may be more to come) that are 3'x3'x2'. "
Why would you want that as a raised bed? :scratch: Iffen you could put a latch on the bottom that would be perfect for :tater: pHarmin :yes: Where you harvest by unlatching the bottom and has the durt/sand medium fall through a chicken wire collector :thumbs:
Personally I'd sez throw some wheelz on the thang and start yer agrovoltaics journey :cheer: you can git plants AND :electrocute: PLUS it's easy to wheelz around :wheee:
Oh and yesterday was another Kale Night :horror: but one nuf thang was dad basically neber gits out of his seat and wheelz to the kitchen and back in his racing chair :hysterical: I put really doog wheelz on his new office chair :chuckle:
Oh for yer laboratory of plant horrors ... take a look at "Emergency Blankets" they is the mirrored film thangs and generally just the right sized for plant :egg: speriments :yes: They is good reflectors AND insulators PLUS are water proofed ... just using them as a backdrop against a wall can :bump: light levelz OR bounce light to where other plants need it :yes:
Also these blankets weigh almost nuthin so you can hang them around those hanging grow lights to make a growding chamber of :horror: :muaha: Srsly it's quick easy and werks rather well :angel:
Oh and has you reconsidered the :mushrooms: pHarmin idea 'cuz it's a doog one :yes: ... so I'm guessing no ... :sigh:
:kickcan:
"And yes, all 3 major news channels have been broadcasting war wall-to-wall. :huh: I'm not yet certain why they want everyone to feel the horror & choose a side. :huh: But I tolded B last night that we don't hafta get sucked in if we don't want to. We can still hold :peace: & send :love: to all affected but we ain't gots to get emotionally involved. "
Um yeah :roll: that's great 'n all but I was thinking more along the lines of investing in 155mm shells and ammo manufactured in the US 'cuz those companies should see a 6 to 10 fold increase in demand :yesss: or :no: depending on how you looks at it I suppose :dunno:
Also Ukraines taking back the Black Sea means that Ukranian grain can start being shipped out again since it provided 30% of the whurled grains BUT since the war has gone over a year their output is severely diminished, adding that into India's no rice :egg: port and China's well eberythang doof shortage wise THEN with el nino and well heck there's soooo many places to invest it's hard to decide :drama:
Srsly then theirs Bidenomics with a large :bump: in boj numbers, which means the Fed will likely :bump: interest rates making treasury notes appealing BUT this could push the rest of the whurled into recession :frantic: thus strengthening the dollar meaning more people will want to travel next year making travel stocks appealing ... yeah yeah I noes Apparently 1 :rbrain: s and :lbrain: types see the :earth: slightly different :whistle:
Paw Patrol :scratch: it sounds like yer looking for more animulez to replace yer dwindling supply :scratch: I wunderz iffen the universe is listening ... :muaha:

Good timing on the Matthew question. :yes: He's been to Vanderbilt where lots of testing was done & some tests were to take 3 weeks for results. Basically they said nothing until they get test results. He goes back in a week or so.
But...his regular doctor called & a recent stool sample tested positive for salmonella once again. :woe:
He still has low-grade fever. Still has chronic diarrhea. :sigh:
As for :tater: boxes.... :no:
They are heavy wooden boxes made from 2x6s...or 2x8s :scratch:
They held steel. :yes:
But I do think we oughta seal them with something non-toxic. Any suggestions?
Elsewise the wood will rot.
Nope. They going to go right near the house & eventually could look kinda like your dad's veggie jails. :chuckle:
I don't know that we need the jailing part tho. :rofl: But maybe some upright supports for thisses or thats.
Your dad... :wheee: :run: :rofl: Maybe he needs a helmet for chair sitting? :rofl:
The emergency blanket idea is a keeper. :righton: :thanks:
Gotta :run: again. Chloe is moving to Knoxville. ASAP. She got hired by the University of Tennessee Alumni Association & is super excited. Her first 'real' job with 401K, insurance & the likes. :happydance: We are going to go help pack.

Moobing sucks. :rofl: Her house sold yesterday! :cheer: And she's gotta be vacated by 10/31.
So she's taking an SUV load tomorrow & then will be back maybe mid-week or so.
She's taking very little...selling &/or donating the rest.
She has a penchant for receiving gifts. :chuckle: She has an unopened pottery wheel that was a gift that she can't take but still wants so Zen Aunt is storing that & prolly a few more items in a shed. :yes:
K so this is cool... Chloe's vest friend is Biscuit...her corgi. :yes: And the apartment complex she's moving into is naturally dog-friendly. Or rather dog-crazy. :chuckle: They have dog wash bays inside the lobby of the apartment building. :chuckle: Complete with shampoos & towels.
Mom looked rough yesterday. :sigh: Tired, back aching even whilst wearing her TENS unit & then....she broke out in hives but just on her chest again. :huh: This has gone from a weird thing (amembers at first she thunk it spider bites but then it spread...she went to a provider & got an antifungal cuz they said it was ringworm. So it cleared up but then she broke out in what was labeled hives...got a prednisone pack for that & it cleared up. And now...another breakout of 'hives', seemingly) to a concerning thing.
I figure the stress of Chloe's move (plus Chloe is staying with her) triggered the eruption but there's an underlying something going on as well.
Yeah...plastic linings. We've seen several similar raised beds where they've axshully suspended plastic like a hammock rather than fill the whole thing.
Oh & rats! :no: I think i'd hafta move. :chuckle: Or hire a rat remover (like you. :therethere: )
We gots an annular eclipse on Saturday. :happydance: I thinks you may be able to see the mostest? I didn't look closely just saw the center line from about Corpus Christie to somewhere in Callyfornya :chuckle: I haven't had time to look into it more yet.

Oh thanks...B12 :check: She's had B12 shots in the past but I don't think she's had one in ages.
And I don't think there is a glucose monitor in our medical supplies unless maybe Zen Aunt has one from Buddy.
Fwiw Buddy's glucose was around 400 & he never took insulin. :nonono: He lived that way for years. :faint:
Um.... I looked at the eclipse map.
https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2023/where-when/
The center line is north and east of you. :p And way far from me. :yes: you's in the 70-80%, close to 90% We are in the 50-60%
Everyone in the contiguous US will experience some degree of dimming. :farmninja:
Supposedly this is a top of the line pottery wheel, too. :yes: Chloe is quite naturally talented. She made a strainer bowl in a pottery class where the instructor repeatedly told her that her holes would not holed :rimshot: up in the kiln. She ignored him & it's now her most prized piece of art. :righton:
Boy oh boy energies are off the charts tho. :wtf: :aaahhh:
And we gots :shiver: coming back for the weekend. High of 65 tomorrow & just 60 on Sunday. :shiver: :snowball:

Wish we had mid-80s. :sigh: :pie:
:shiver: today 53. :shiver:
So yes, Mom is hypothyroidical. She's taken synthroid for 40 years and had it checked regularly.
I am scheduling (waiting for them to call back) an appointment for me now. :faint:
Last Thursday...and again today... my BP has spiked up to 190/90 or so. A strange headache tipped me off last week.
I drank hibiscus tea, lots of water (thought I was a bit dehydrated), took a handful of spirulina...
I really do not feel it is cardiovascular in cause. More likely kidney related (yes, I know all BP is kidney connected).
I'm not overly concerned... last THursday it went super high & stayed but then on Friday it was 117/70 & stayed around that all day long. That is what I consider my normal. :yes: I didn't check it over the weekend cuz I thunk I was 'cured'. :chuckle:
But today the headache came back & sure enough it was 190/87. I took 2 tylenol, drank a cup of hibiscus tea & now it's 149/89 which is not concerning at all but higher than my usual.
Anyway... I gonna get lots of bloodwork. :yes: Any suggestions? :chuckle:
I figure check thyroid, kidney function, some sort of nutritional profile including D3.
I actually wonder if I might have another UTI that is un- :balance: ing me. I've not had symptoms but nor did I a year ago when I was really really sick. I have no fever but nor did I before either. :dunno:
Anyway...the guy I'm going to see is an NP, young guy, easy to talk to & um...informed outside of usual channels.
He was talking to me about having read The China Study by T Colin Campbell when Jacki was in to see him.
Funny...last week B & Mom were trying their best to get me to the ER & I was like :no: :no:
I says to them...ok, we go..we wait in the waiting room for hours, they see the BP is elevated & write me a 10 day script & tell me to see my provider or possibly get a cardio workup.
I don't want to treat the symptom. I want to see if there's an obvious root cause . :yes: So I promised both of them I'd call on Monday & that I did. :check:
Elsewise...we saw eclipsing! :cheer: But it was peekaboo clouds here too, plus it was too many hours to sit & watch so we all just ran out & peeked every 15 minutes or so. :rofl:
:cs: :woe: I just remembered I was gonna make some more this morning but the morning is gone. :eek:
Super cool :sun: heater. I can't wait to see if it's as toasty as claimed. :yes: Tho unless it's for sauna-izing I'd never know how cozy warm it is from you who adores the cold. :snowball:

Elsewise...we saw eclipsing! :cheer: But it was peekaboo clouds here too, plus it was too many hours to sit & watch so we all just ran out & peeked every 15 minutes or so. :rofl:
:cs: :woe: I just remembered I was gonna make some more this morning but the morning is gone. :eek:
Super cool :sun: heater. I can't wait to see if it's as toasty as claimed. :yes: Tho unless it's for sauna-izing I'd never know how cozy warm it is from you who adores the cold. :snowball:

What was your :heart: rate during those BP :bump: timez?
You has Grave's disease which usually causes low pulse and BP but can also go the other way.
Also did your SpO2 change? :heart: rate and BP react to low oxygen the fastest and can :bump: up then SUDEDENLY drop back to nermal.
It doesn't really sound kidney related :nono: nor atherosclerotic :nono: ... it sounds like hormonal bp spiking :yes: it could easily be related to your Graves but again that usually goes the other way with accompanying :faint: ing spells.
Why would 'they' tellz you to go to the ER for 190/90 bp and nuthin else? :scratch: When my bp went up I knew my :heart: rate was wrong plus there was that whole swelling face thang :whistle: 190 is in the stress, anxiety or adrenal issue range.
I guess tech :nickel: ly adrenal issues are "kidney" related :secret: they is the glands camping on top of the kidneys.
It's doog to git blood werk :suck: and tests run but my guess is cold shock :shiver: possibly a flu/cold :buttkick: to yer immune system and funky hormones out of :balance:
Srsly though 190 systolic spike and nuthin else ... I prolly would ignore it ... the headache thang k perchance there's a thang there and yer :smokes: history and vintage olde age might mean sumthin :yes: Oh and I bet you need to eat more :cow: :yes:
Oh tell the doktor yer a vegan and are wondering about nutrient deficiencies ... they might give you the whole line of tests :thumbs:
Elsewise you should google random blood pressure spikes or some such ... unless you are doing drugs :hippy: or are preggerz agin ... you prolly wont find muches :nono: So I sez either some type of pernicious :blob: trying to take hold ... like yer UTIing ... or hormonal screw up thyroid/adrenalz/etc. :yes:
Oh iffen you can see iffen you can git a "C-reactive protein" {CRP} test it's a test for inflammation :share:

My heart rate was/is 60. My O2 was/is 99. :shera:
And they wanted me in the ER cuz they :scared: They don't want me to die cuz I am the one who holds everybody else up. :yes:
But I talked sense into both of them. :buttkick:
If :b: asked me once he asked me a hundred times....you sure you don't have chest pain, arm pain or tingling, shortness of breath, indigestion... Over & over I said no, no, no it's not my :heart:
I tolded both of them that elevated BP is merely a symptom. It's telling me that something else is outta whack. But most docs (I use that term lightly) would simply prescribe meds & never seek an axshual cause. :sigh:
Anyway... I'm way overdue for bloodworks. :ashamed: Haven't had my thyroid checked since the initial Graves days...2017. :chuckle: I still don't have an appointment tho. They were apposta call back yesterday & never did. :sigh: I truly dislike the mediocrity of our medical community here.
So yesterday afternoon & again this moment I have landed around 135/85. Pulse 63
Perfectly acceptable tho still 20 points higher than my usual.
Oh & swollen face was a real big clue! :pie: :bsl:

Oh & I am NOT vegan. :nana:
:bsl:
Not that there's anything 'wrong' with veganism.
But I gets the point.
Axshully, I am eating more :egg: as of late. And I boughted organic chicken breasts to make chicken chow mein a week or so ago & B loved it but I could not swallow the chicken. :( I thought maybe I could but at that moment... I choked! :rimshot: :rofl:
He eats a bit of chicken every 2-3 weeks. And he grilled chicken and steak for Mom's bday (9/16) but he said the chicken was far better to him than the steak. He prolly ate 2 or 3 oz of steak....the first beef in 2 years. :faint:

"My heart rate was/is 60. My O2 was/is 99. :shera: "
Um iffen that's true I take back the ignore it comment :horror:
190/90 bp and a 60 :heart: rate would suggest a rather serious arterial narrowing :sofa:
Think of it like a tourniquet preventing blood flow. The thang is :heart: rate and pressure are not necessarily related :nono: but when yer nermal pressure SUDDENLY changes there is usually a related effect on the :heart: Iffen nuthin else yer :heart: rate should have increased because you were concerned or atleast eberyone else was :frantic:
Those numberz don't make a lick of sense :nonono: you messed up the memo no doubt :buttkick:
I noes yer not vegan :buttkick: just tellz the doktor you is 'cuz they'll be worried and order a battery of test :muaha: srsly it is "possible" to be a very healthy vegan :yes: BUT it is freaken HARD and requires lots of supplements and most need to keep diet records and tables of nutrition. Iffen you say you eat :egg: s it's Game Over so don't :club:
Anywho blood werk :suck: is always doog :thumbs: you prolly memoed your thyroid hormones :yes: ya noes messed them up :rimshot:
Holy :carp: :no:
It's HOT out AND there is a HEAT Advisory for tomorrow :aaahhh: :sofa: and of course Thursday is even worserer :fist: :horror:

Why you keeping all the heat over there? :buttkick:
42 this morning. :shiver: 70s hereafter... :hippy: :afro: :bliss:
So I saw Drew yesterday. I din't hafta tell him cuz he's sharp. He says, "You still whole food plant-based?" And I said, "We sure are."
And then I told him how well B was & how much weight Jacki has lost.
Amember? I said he read The China Study by T Colin Campbell & has ever been fascinated but not quite ready to take the plunge himself. Lest you not know :chuckle: :
he China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health is a book by T. Colin Campbell and his son, Thomas M. Campbell II. The book argues for health benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. Wikipedia
Anyway... I had reverse white coat syndrome & my BP was 130/70 pulse 71 to which the nurse replied "That is excellent for a 61 year old woman". :sigh:
This moment it is 148/90 and 59. :yes:
So Drew says, "I'm not ready to put you on bp medication becuz this is just a symptom & we need to find the cause.".
And I replied, "And this is why I came to see you! I'm not ready or willing to take bp meds either.". :chuckle:
Urinalysis dipstick showed presence of blood & leukocytes but we did not start an antibiotic yet either. He's getting a culture which could take up to a week & then, if needed, he will prescribe an appropriate one.
He also confirmed that it was the antibiotic his ex-officemate prescribed that made me so sick last year. :yes: He listed it as an 'allergy' on my new chart.
And we gots bloodwork brewing. :yes:
:popcorn:
Elsewise... someone blowed up a hopsickle in Gaza. :bawling: Both sides are blaming each other.
Absolutely heartless. :sigh:
:earthheart:
And I decided that I have to get back to regular yoga &/or walking/biking. I won't ride a real bike here cuz I will get run over. :sigh: Seriously it happens a LOT & we live on a curvy country highway where everyone behaves as if they are the only one on the road.
I can't count the number of times I have nearly been swiped or head-onned by idjits who think they own the road.
But I has a nice exerbike. :yes: I can ride in the safety of my living room. :chuckle:
It's gonna be a beautiful 70 degree day here today (& hereafter :chuckle: )... :bliss:

Currently 53°F so I set siguie manor to suck up the cool then close down when the temp gits above 65°F ... it's gonna :bee: 80°F today and 90°F tomorrow :aaahhh: :no:
Well dipstick results suggest :cs: stat :buttkick:
Srsly kidney/bladder/UTI are ALL treatable with colloidal silver since that's the path of ... um ... eventual removal :whistle: ... which also means direct contact with the :blob: or :mushrooms: :yes:
Doog newses :beerme:
That said yer home numbers for BP and :heart: rate {148/90 and 59} seem off :scratch: 130/70 pulse 71 is a doktor visit nermal :thumbs: even 111/82 64bpm after yoga is closer to a nermal number :yes: Once yer :heart: rate drops below 60 {bradycardia} pressures tend to drop below 120. The entire siguie clan is bradycardic 8) and I'm the closest to nermal at around 60bpm :oz:
FYI: take yer stats just after and 30 minutes post :egg: sercise. This will give a better idea of health and whether what you did counts as :egg: sercise. Yer max :heart: rate should be 220-61 = 159bpm while werken out but yer target should be 111 bpm for cardio. Thirty minutes after it should be back to nermal BUT this is the best time to git a BP reading :yes:
After some doog :egg: sercise yer myoglobin should be fully oxygenated and yer vascular flow should have reached eberywherez and eberythang should have homogenized :om:
Yup people are skeery when yer on a bike :uhoh: that's why dad went to a trike 'cuz even bikers :suck: and he's not too puhleezed with kids on ebikes neether :whip:
"See? I am not hypertensive & I do not have cloggy arteries."
I didn't thinxz youse was either :nono: those are just yer own fears :therethere: Worst case woulda been a clog due to :smokes: but even then you've been doesing the Dr.E protocol closer to what was supposed to be so ... nope not really likely :nono: or atleast not sumthin you'd discover now without an MRI :oz:
That said a kidney/bladder/UTI thang "could" be the problem but it seems a little odd to be THE cause without sumthin else like a kidney stone 'cuz a random :bump: to 190 out of the blue with no other symptoms is a little strange :scratch:

Homogenized is a funny word. :rofl:
I'm super pain/discomfort tolerable. :sigh: Always have been. So maybe there were symptoms they were just so mild that I wrote them off.
:cs: :doh: Thanks cuz I need to make more for cats as well. :righton:
I will do the BP testing tho rarely does my heartrate increase much at all when yoga-ing. :nonono: :rofl: But I'll see what I can does on the bike. :yes:
But yeah, this made me realize that everything about my lifestyle is great except for regular exercise. :ashamed:
I am active...busy...physically strong & sturdy (stout as a mule said my grandfather :bawling: :hysterical: )
but the only things I do regularly are 1) I always put on my shoes & socks by balancing on one leg (I can do it unless I'm wearing compression socks...then I gotta lean, or sit :laugh: ) and 2) I do 5 squats every morning while getting dressed just to stay strong.
B can't even do 1 squat :chuckle: due to gimpy knees. And I prolly oughta begin increasing that number cuz it's super quick & easy.
Anyway...I really like this guy. He's smate in an open-minded sorta way. And the office axshully has an online portal where I can see everything. :cheer: And yeah, I noes that's commonplace in the cities but it's not utilized much around here. Some places have online portalage but then the providers or whomever don't enter any kind of data. :crazy:
Ya know... I feel good. Better than 90+% of peoples my age and better than I did when I was young & more autoimmuned, but it's just not good enough. :shera:
I want more. :happydance:

And yes, homogeniass sounds quite :gayfight: :yes: Not that there's anything 'wrong' with :gayfight:
And :nonono: I said it's B's knees... He can squat down but has to grab onto something to pull up. His strength is in his upper body. His long, skinny legs are just that...long & skinny. :rofl: He woulda made a good (female) supermodel. :yes:
So he weeds sitting on a bucket. He plants kneeling but I does most of the planting cuz I sit on my :moon: with my knees bent & to one side. But he mostly does the (upright) heavy work that requires power tools. :chuckle:
This is the first definition of exercise: 1.
activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness.
But you know as well as I cuz you gots Asian blood that yoga is beneficial in a multitude of ways. Especially for us thenthitive types.:drama: It helps release stuck energy. It is ideal for me cuz if I jump right into strength training or cardio I will break :chuckle: (meaning strain a muscle, get shin splints, get so sore I cannot move) & then I will quit.

And tomorrow...big :elfparty: day!!! :faint:
Got a work family day from 11-1:30 & then later we are headed to Jackson with Mom & ZA for B & J's birthday dinger.
B chose Taziki's. Yeah, spelt wrong I noes but that's how the restaurant spells it. Mediterranean, obliviously.
It's absolutely perfect weather here. :bliss: Around mid-70s for the next week & no frost in sight on the long-term until the end of November. :faint: If that holds it will be the latest frost since we moved here. Our average first frost is 10/15. :papa: birthday. :wub:

"Qi gong. :scratch: Maybe. :wiggle: "
Well yoga was designed to build a body made for meditation (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) ... Qi Gong is about flow and fluidiotry (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/waltz.gif) plus NRGeez moovment :vibes: ... THEN of course there's Tai Chi which is an calisthenics mixed with martial arts practice and a cover pHilosopHy with mixed up yin-ing and yang-ing :sebiv:
It just sounds like Qi Gong is more yer thang :yes: espeeshully the healing :vibes: part :oz:
Taziki's are a chain restaurant ... they has decent gyros :liplick: ... but they is mostly on yer side of the country and are more greek/mediterranean americanized doof ... neber thunked it was spelt wrong nor correctly to be honest ... not reading has its perks :bliss:

Yes let's see them numberz :yes: vitamin D should be in the 20 to 40 ng/mL levelz but 20 ng/mL is really too low 30 to 50 ng/mL is a better range :yes:
FYI: tech :nickel: ly that's not a measure of D3 :nono: it's betterer :yes: it's "25-hydroxy vitamin D " aka Calcifediol it's the ffuts yer body actually wants when you give it D3 but it takes a couple of steps to git there ... D3 is a gift card for the Calcifediol store :oz:
Ooooh :check: out the A1C, liver enzymes, Potassium levelz and BUN :share:
Amoxicillin is my number one favourite antibiotic :wubsigh: it's doog for close to eberythang that ails youse :happydance: Personally I likes Augmentin which is Amoxicillin plus Clavulanic Acid which helps prevent :blob: s developing resistance so it's easier to split doses :whistle:
Ooooh what size Amox? 250mg is for :wheee: peoplez 500mg is nermal. I likes the holy grail 1000mg 'cuz you can cut them up for what you needz. Unfortunately I needed the full dose last time due to um that cheeky thang :ashamed:
Thang is staph UTI's are kinda rare :scratch: they'll prolly screen for STD's too but that woulda showed up First Thang :sofa: ... oh what was yer blood glucose when they did the draw? You don't eat enough sugar/candy for this to make sensicalz :nono: Did they does a urine glucose test? I'd thinxz that would be nermal espeeshully for yer area :scratch:
I thinxz I coinkadinkally hit the hammer on the head or whatever that saying iz ... yer a freaky freak freaken out :hippy:

Calcium 9.8 :yes:
Glucose 95 (non-fasting)
I would gladly share all/my of the data but it's in bar graph form & not so easily copyable.
This is through the patient portal. There is also a link for results directly from Labcorp but when I tried to create an account it said my browser was unable to support. :sigh: I then tried to update my browser but after an hour it was at 3% so I stopped the download. I'll do it again in a bit when I don't need the notebook.
My B12 was 856...folic acid 13.3 :cheer: I particularly :happydance: with the B12 ## cuz I frequently forget to take B12. :chuckle:
And the thyroid TSH 2.45 and T4, free 1.16 Both tell me that I am legitimately healed :cheer: The endocrinologist did say that about 50% of patients would go into spontaneous remission after a year or so and I said, "Good! I will be one of those."
He was a pompous :butt: anyway. He tried to tell me that my age & hormone levels & general condition & lifestyle were what was causing me to gain weight & feel bad...that it wasn't the methimazole. I never saw him again. :rofl:
For reals...he wore a 3 piece suit with bow tie, argyle socks & fancy shoes & obliviously considered himself smater & 'righter' than everyone else.
Anyway... happy happy!! :bliss:
And :b: .... he lifted up into the truck...and back out again... a 145 pound pottery wheel all by himself with absolutely no chest pain or anything. :cheer: I did notice that his bony chicken legs looked a bit shaky tho. :chuckle:
:bliss2:
On a totally different note... you know of any shortcut/tip/technique for de-rusting a very badly rusted Lodge cast iron griddle/skillet/? It's bad. Real bad. Inside & out...not an inch unrusted. As in lying outside at Chloe's house for who knows how long. Or should I just pitch it?

Of course easy :peas: y :yes: use :electrocute: aka eleKtrolysis :wwsd:

You are basically reverse electroplating :electrocute: ... here's an Instructables link (https://www.instructables.com/Electrolytic-Rust-Removal-aka-Magic/)
It's a bit overkill ... you don't need any of those clips and just one electrode {rebar etc.} is fine ... just attach the charging clamps directly to the metal pieces but keep the clamps out of the water.

K...the reverse electroplating sounds like fun! For reals! :cheer:
My wok is prone to rust even tho I always pour the whatevers into a big pyrex bowl & immediately wash & dry thoroughly. :sigh:
Would this help it as well? :scratch: Or just aggravate the 'proneness'?
And you noes full well I am not computer literate...I just internets :wiggle: and that's fine by me. :matt:
B is the computerer cuz he's done so much at work. He started at that Euro place as the Document Control Dude. :horror:
I did follow your directions & copied a page. But it's many many pages long cuz every result is separated from the next by 4-6 spaces.
There is no a1c. No iron or ferritin listed. :nonono: Likely becuz he said, "You're not diabetic, are you?" and I said "No".
And all the RBC related numbers are all within range.
I did update my browser & then got a Labcorp account & there I found blood results going back to December of 17 which was the initial thyroid :boom: :clap: Boy oh boy my numbers were all messed up then. It is cool tho...Labcorp is the only lab service around here so they had results from the bow-tie endocrinologist as well as 3 different local providers.
And...they have a tab where you can order your own tests, sans provider, tho I haven't opened it yet. :righton:
As for :b: lifting less than his body weight....
It's not so cut & dried. It ain't like he was lifting a barbell. :chuckle: Most ordinary hoomans couldn't even get their arms on both sides of the box. Chloe had a guy friend, mid-30s, typical pork belly :rimshot: (meaning southern food overweight) & he could not lift one half of it up. B said, "I'll take it from here, Travis" & Travis eagerly said, "OK". :rofl: Then when we offloaded it into ZA's shed B just did it himself. :flex: :happydance:
As for my calcium levels...we eat greens nearly every night. And then leftovers the next day. And LOTS of dried beans.
Right now I am eating white bean & kale soup, thickened with instant mashed :tater: s.... (yeah I noes the latter isn't "whole food" but it IS oillos so I don't care :p ) And of course tofu is a staple...silken for faux sour cream/mayo/etc & extra firm for baking, mostly.
No cheating 'cept the rare fiesta veggie burrito from Taco Bell (has cheese AND sour cream & no I don't leave them out. :rofl: )
It's Birthday Week still. :faint: :b: has requested an :egg: white/applesauce subbed chocolate cake with the Betty Crocker Fluffy White (marshmallow cream-like...no oil)frosting for tomorrow and Jackis wants to go to Jackson for either a poke bowl or ramen, she hasn't quite decided. :rofl:
Also... Bassetbawl Season opens tonight!!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Oh...they are beginning the process of laying fiberoptic cable down our road! :woohoo:
It's part of Biden's connectivity program but we were beginning to wonder if they would ever get to our area.
Thing is we are in the corner of the county & just 1.2 miles from McKenzie city limits where they have Spectrum already.
I was askeered they would miss us.
Another absolutely gorgeous :fall: day. :bliss2:

There is no a1c. No iron or ferritin listed. :nonono: Likely becuz he said, "You're not diabetic, are you?" and I said "No".
And all the RBC related numbers are all within range.
I did update my browser & then got a Labcorp account & there I found blood results going back to December of 17 which was the initial thyroid :boom: :clap: Boy oh boy my numbers were all messed up then. It is cool tho...Labcorp is the only lab service around here so they had results from the bow-tie endocrinologist as well as 3 different local providers.
And...they have a tab where you can order your own tests, sans provider, tho I haven't opened it yet. :righton:
As for :b: lifting less than his body weight....
It's not so cut & dried. It ain't like he was lifting a barbell. :chuckle: Most ordinary hoomans couldn't even get their arms on both sides of the box. Chloe had a guy friend, mid-30s, typical pork belly :rimshot: (meaning southern food overweight) & he could not lift one half of it up. B said, "I'll take it from here, Travis" & Travis eagerly said, "OK". :rofl: Then when we offloaded it into ZA's shed B just did it himself. :flex: :happydance:
As for my calcium levels...we eat greens nearly every night. And then leftovers the next day. And LOTS of dried beans.
Right now I am eating white bean & kale soup, thickened with instant mashed :tater: s.... (yeah I noes the latter isn't "whole food" but it IS oillos so I don't care :p ) And of course tofu is a staple...silken for faux sour cream/mayo/etc & extra firm for baking, mostly.
No cheating 'cept the rare fiesta veggie burrito from Taco Bell (has cheese AND sour cream & no I don't leave them out. :rofl: )
It's Birthday Week still. :faint: :b: has requested an :egg: white/applesauce subbed chocolate cake with the Betty Crocker Fluffy White (marshmallow cream-like...no oil)frosting for tomorrow and Jackis wants to go to Jackson for either a poke bowl or ramen, she hasn't quite decided. :rofl:
Also... Bassetbawl Season opens tonight!!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Oh...they are beginning the process of laying fiberoptic cable down our road! :woohoo:
It's part of Biden's connectivity program but we were beginning to wonder if they would ever get to our area.
Thing is we are in the corner of the county & just 1.2 miles from McKenzie city limits where they have Spectrum already.
I was askeered they would miss us.
Another absolutely gorgeous :fall: day. :bliss2:

"K...the reverse electroplating sounds like fun! For reals! :cheer: "
It is and there are all sorts of tricks you can does :yes: though prolly not great ideas for sumthin yer gonna be cooking doof on :whistle: BUT once you realize the "sacrificial anode" is the thang being derusted the other electrode {cathode} can purty much be anythin that conducts :electrocute: and it don't has to be metal neether :nono:
Also I has titanium mesh for electrodes so I can just throw salt in and make my own bleach :oz: OR swap thangs up with a copper electrode and use copper sulfate for the electrolyte and :boom: I is copper plating :happydance:
BUT yeah reverse electroplating to remove rust is a doog starting point on the journey to :electrocute: :bliss:
"My wok is prone to rust even tho I always pour the whatevers into a big pyrex bowl & immediately wash & dry thoroughly. :sigh:
Would this help it as well? :scratch: Or just aggravate the 'proneness'? "
No change to proneness :nono:
Does "dry thoroughly" include heating the thang from base to handle to atleast 250°F ... THEN adding a thin film of oil and atleast reseasoning the cooking bits to a minimum of 350°F 'cuz that's nermal care and maintenance :dunno:
It will still rust :yes: but it should take weeks or months :oz: taking care of carbon steel cooking knives requires even more speeshul care :no: The doog news is that carbon steel rust is very very shallow compared to cast iron :oz:

Well that is why the Record Screen option is handy :yes: also don't worry about it :nono: iffen yer happy with yer numbers that's all that really matters :yes:
I'm just purty doog at numerical analysis and unerstanzing of test results ... you can actually git/glean additional info from them numberz like vLDL which is just Total Cholesterol minus HDL and LDL.

That's really REALLY surprisingly DOOG :beerme:
I'm assuming current is the first number and previous is the second but dannng doog boj yer iron is not just nermal but HIGH :hippy: end for older wiminz nermal AND not even shrub eating levelz :nono: Doog for vegetarians is 11 to 12.5 :oz:
It looks like the Dr.E diet or whatever it is/was you've been eating werks for you 'cuz not only does the numbers improve it looks like yer kidney functions are better than they was including electrolyte levelz :thumbs:

Ya gotted the first four down doog :thumbs: and I recalz you tried the Zinc taste test and were low nermal. Iodine should be fine and a doog reasons to goes to the ramen place :liplick: Omega 3's are actually best from :secret: fermented cod liver oil :horror: but krill oil is doog too :yes: and walnuts have epa which is nigh worthless so no :buttkick:
The big surprise is your albumin and globulin levelz are spot on :thumbs: Shrubbists generally have a hard time with this one since greens are not high in protein ... this is where :egg: s shine :oz:
With yer age, overly green diet and relatively high D and Calcium levelz nermally one would suggest getting a bone scan to :check: for osteoperosis. This is because blood Calcium can also come from the bones :no: and this is one of the "dangers" from higher D levelz :uhoh: BUT yer Bilirubin and Alkaline Phosphatase numberz are also :righton: which likely means regardless of what your HbA1c might be it's most likely in a nermal range :thumbs:
The one thang I don't unerstanz is what the doktor thinxz is wrong :scratch: 'cuz yer numberz don't even denote a minor infection much less a UTI or whatever :dunno:
Also don't standard CBC include cholesterol and triglycerides? :scratch: You'd thinxz those would be part of any CBC especially in patients where BP spikes are occuring :dunno:
Overall it looks like all the major organs 'cept the :brain: of course is doesing very well :yes: Srsly though doog boj :thumbs: :hi5:

Yeah that makes no sensicalz :nono: Iffen you cut a carrot into pieces it's processed or iffen you chew yer doof it's processed. Iffen you make mashed :tater: yerself AND that's ok to eats then dehydrating it don't make it any less healthy :nonono:
I suspect mashed :tater: allowed/disallowed based on Dr.E's protocol is just taking his wurdz too literal.

:yawn: :coffee:
It looks a lot A LOT like a wynter weather pattern now BUT no :rain: even though storm systems have passed thru :dunno:

I'm assuming current is the first number and previous is the second but dannng doog boj yer iron is not just nermal but HIGH :hippy: end for older wiminz nermal AND not even shrub eating levelz :nono: Doog for vegetarians is 11 to 12.5 :oz:

There are 7 key thangs that shrub leaning diets need supplemented and those are B12, D3, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Iodine and Omega 3's.
I take B12 regularly...when I remember. :ashamed:
And I just began taking D3 in the past couple weeks...the 30K IU once a week tho I may :bump: that to 2 or 3x a week in the Persephone Winter.
The reason the kidney function was worserer a year ago is cause that was when I was :missing: for a week & real, real sick.
You & I deduced it was the antibiotic & not the infection that made me so very sick & when I told Drew how I got much much worserer a couple days after seeing his former co-worker he asked which antibiotic. I said "Cipro" & he shook his head & said "We're gonna put that on your chart as an allergy so you never go through that again". :check:
You noes Dr E says only B12 is necessary & I am a minimalist when it comes to supplements (plus it gets real spensive real quick when supplementing 3 peoples).
Anyway...for the 500th time :hysterical: I have never eaten much meat. :nonono: Seriously, when I was young Mom cooked chuck roast in the pressure cooker quite often. I would not want any but at hers & Dad's insistence I'd take maybe a quarter size (it was shredded after cooking) just to humour them. About 1/4 of a chicken breast is all I could ever stomach...half a burger tho if I was out I'd always choose fish over :burger: or chicken. I truly feel my body is designed for plants from foreber. :yes:
If I had a :nickel: for every time :b: , his parents, my parents, etc would say, "You really need to eat more meat: & I'd :sigh: & try to get another mouthful down. Cuz for real, up until 10+ years ago I believed that I had to eat meat to survive.
So...maybe my body has adapted to extract all it needs from plants. :yes: :broccoli:
And I truly believe one of my more recent lifetimes (or most impressionable) was as a monk cuz I could live on rice & vegetables with a handful of basmati almonds throughout the day. Just like Paramahansa Yogananda. :righton:
And as for :egg: .... I only eat maybe 4 a week. Not a lot & not that often. I feed :b: 2-4 a week as well. :yes: and I no longer worries about it. :bliss:
So it's still Birthday Week! :rstars: and today just us girls (Mom, ZA, Jacki) are going to Hana for poke bowls (or maybe sushi lunch... I likes their AAC rolls avocado, asparagus & celery which come with salad & miso soup). This is not the ramen place but another newish Japanese 'fast casual'. Jacki's choice cuz B chose the mediterranean and ate :lamb: Funny, he ate a lamb gyro, J ate grilled salmon, & I had the grilled veggie pita. Everyone ate what they wanted. :yes:
So off to Jackson for lunch & play... :bliss2: :bliss2:
We gots the 80s through Caturday, then 73 on Monday ?7 a HIGH of fiddy on Monday! :shiver:
Energies are super wound tight & tense. Like a rubber band stretched almost to the breaking point.
Does the rubber band break? Or relax?
Being as we have another eclipse on Saturday it could go either way.
Did you see how hurricane Otis went from a 50 mph tropical storm to a 165 mph Hurrycane in less than 24 hours? :scared:
I have not seen yet today but it appeared that much of Acapulco & the shoreline east of such may have been 'erased' much like Paradise & Maui, cept by water rather than :campfire:
:earthheart:
Happy Thurzdaze!!!

B12 has a reasonably long half life {~1 week} and 4 :egg: s per week would cover the minimum needed, so any supplements would :bump: fine. B12 is easy :peas: y unless yer vegan then it's practically impossible ... the few shrubs that contain B12 don't have that muches AND you will only absorb a tiny fraction. Srsly though 2 :egg: s a week and most people are fine 'cept those who need more because they :smokes: or has other chronic stressors :no:
As for D ... there's a difference between D from the :sun: and D from a supplement ... both are doog BUT :sun: ny D :rimshot: is attached to a chaperone protein which amongst other thangs makes it hang around about twice as long as the unchaperoned delinquent D's :wiggle:

This is a rather bold, one-size-fits-all. statement:
Anywho hoomans "cannot" absorb sufficient plant nutrients themselves ..
So you're lumping all hoomans together? :buttkick: Just like a good doctor who memorizes all the 'facts'. :chuckle:
I have no facts but I believe that eeerbody is different. I know that :b: does not do as well fully plant based tho he is seemingly adapting. He's also 'cheating' more often tho he would call it 'balancing'. :chuckle: But when he has meatz...out at restaurants...I never want it & Jacki is a 50/50 split tho often she eats fish or shrimp.
Speaking of good doctors... Mom has an appointment with a regenerative medicine doctor on 11/8! :cheer:
He is an MD who got frustrated real quick with not being able to truly heal anyone or anything so he began researching alternatives. He offers PRP, stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, light therapy and much more.
Her longest standing issue is back pain...she wears her TENS unit mot of the time any more :sigh: but still hurts if she does very much. ANyway, I am prolly more excited than her to go & see what this guy has to offer & if he thinks he can help. :yes:
And here.... NY Times:
QuoteThe United States carried out two airstrikes against facilities used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and its proxies in eastern Syria early Friday in retaliation for a flurry of recent rocket and drone attacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria.
:sigh:
Also the new Speaker is a wolf in sheep's clothing. :yes: Just wait & see.
Oh & good memorying.... We smoked American Spirit Brand...all natural tobacco. And there was a picture of a NA Chief on the package. But only for the last 10 years of :smokes: cuz they were/are more costly than the other brands, Before that it was Marlboro....the first one to admit to the addition of ammonia to make them more addictive. :gaah:
It's raining!!! :bliss: :umbrella: :rain:
We've been so very dry. So dry that all the beautiful :fall: leafage has been :fall: -ing prematurely. :sigh:
And :sun: ny D. :woe: I can honestly say I never bought that but my sissy's late mil who was diabetic drank it non-stop.
Funny the things we remembers.
Happy Friday!!! We gotta go get groceries...when the rain eases. :elfparty:

Well when I started gaining back on the Dr E diet it was likely too much sugary carbs. :yes: That was when I was trying to satiate :b:
When I gained weight the first time in 2013-14 it was quitting smoking...the second :bump: was menopause. My diet didn't change much, if any during those times. Oh & there was another :bump: with they thyroid med but that one un-:bump: ed after stopping the med. :chuckle: A faux :bump: :rofl:
I'm still 10 pounds higher than I'd like to be but I also realize that health is most important and... I ain't never gonna be that skinny young girl again. :chuckle: I'm still strong :flex: and leaner than 95% of peoples, especially around here. yes: :faint:
Are these trick questions? :pie:
It's another eclipse day. :farmninja: And :fullmoon: day. :fullmoon:

You just rambled off yer usual :blah: :blah:
:smokes: and memopawz are the big ones :yes:

Um yeah I'm just going to go ahead and give you that last one since you are dang close to the only vegetarian in meat central not to mention the diabetes belt :whistle:
"Well when I started gaining back on the Dr E diet it was likely too much sugary carbs. :yes: That was when I was trying to satiate :b: "
Yeah well Dr.E's protocol doesn't actually allow for many sugary carbs and 10 pounds of fat is 35,000 calories or about 20 pounds equivalent of sugar ... that's a lot of :egg: tra carbs :roll:
You might also want to research what actually causes satiety as in doof choices ... just sayin :whistle:

Say what?
:whatever:
:bsl:
We all feel very doog at this time. :wig: :wiggle: :gle: And are at healthy weights. :yes:
My 'want' to be a bit thinner may not be what the cards (or my body's wisdom) have in store. It is generally considered better for older women to not be super thin. B has leveled off at about 190 which is pretty perfect for him. And I noes I will never weigh 117 (which is what I weighed when I got pregnant. 5'7"...117. Supermodel skinny) again, nor does I want to.
Here's a funny oddity abouts me tho.... My wrists are super thin & my arms are long & slender. :yes:
But my ankles are super super thick (to the point where I was often in tears cuz as a teen family members thought it fun to point out my thick ankles as if I was a freak) and my legs are muscular & solid & relatively short (imo). My trunk is quite long.
I guess it was determined that I needed a solid foundation. :rofl:
So I gots stories. :book: :book:
First...my phone went :boom: yesterday. :faint: No fire, no splosion. But the battery bulged the back & split the sides open. :uhoh:
I just noticed that my case (wallet style) would not close & at first thunk it the case. But when I took the phone out of the case... :scared:
So...funny thing is B's phone has been in the dying process & I been fussing at him to 'stop bitching & just get a new phone'. He'd say, "Yeah, yeah... I know... I will." And my phone had been fine but it was the one that went :boom:
So so... I quickly searched & found a Google Pixel 6a at Best Buy for $99...regularly $399. :faint: So off we went to Jackson but when we got there & were completing the process we got to a point where they had to text B for a confirmation code (Verizon) & he realized he had forgotten his phone!! :woe:
So we came home & he ordered 3 of the $99 phones! :cheer: I'm on J's hotspot right now & curiously enough my bulging, split open phone is charging. :faint: I really did not think the battery would take a charge. :huh:
Story 2. :book:
Amembers the doctor who owned the Medical Center where I walked. The one who died after being thrown from an elliptical & hitting his head?
Anyway... he left 6 adult kids. 2 girls, 4 boys. His wife committed suicide not long after we moved here. :candle:
One of the boys has since died (CHF from drug abuse). One of the girls & the eldest sibling is the triathelete/P.A. & her husband is a good friend of ours. The other girl, Robyn is a trainer & works at the county health department.
Robyn, husband & teenage daughter live in the Doctor's house...a beautiful, multi-million $$ log cabin built from special logs from Canada (where he grew up) & with real hand-cut & laid wood floors, a 3rd story skylit hot tub, state-of-the-art kitchen & everythings.... And on Saturday night it burned to the ground. :campfire: Nothing left but the chimney. :faint:
And her brother has already been arrested for arson. :bawling: They gotted him on security footage.
They called it a cabin but it was at prolly 8000 sq ft. And just 10 years old.
But thankfully, he waited til everyone was out of the house.
What a tragic family tho. Mother suicide in her 40s, Father freak accident at 60-something, brother died from drug abuse in his 30s, and now another brother late 30s, early 40s is gonna be in jail for a long time. :faint: The other 2 boys, wisely, moved away from the area.
Anyway.. these were kinda Zen Aunt's 'charges' cuz she worked for the Doc from the day he moved into the area & she became a second mother/grandmother/nanny of sorts. The parents traveled a lot & Zen Aunt stayed with the kids & pets (& she'd take her son) for a week at a time on numerous occasions.
:gheart:
Today... I am gonna cut massive bouquets! :flowerom: :wubsigh:
We skipped the frost this year & are going straight for the FREEZE WARNING! :shiver: :no:
3 nights of freezing ahead so that by Thursday our landscape will be totally changed. :candle:
My kales & collards & choys & chards are gonna be real happy tho. :happydance: :wub:
:whatever:
:bsl:
We all feel very doog at this time. :wig: :wiggle: :gle: And are at healthy weights. :yes:
My 'want' to be a bit thinner may not be what the cards (or my body's wisdom) have in store. It is generally considered better for older women to not be super thin. B has leveled off at about 190 which is pretty perfect for him. And I noes I will never weigh 117 (which is what I weighed when I got pregnant. 5'7"...117. Supermodel skinny) again, nor does I want to.
Here's a funny oddity abouts me tho.... My wrists are super thin & my arms are long & slender. :yes:
But my ankles are super super thick (to the point where I was often in tears cuz as a teen family members thought it fun to point out my thick ankles as if I was a freak) and my legs are muscular & solid & relatively short (imo). My trunk is quite long.
I guess it was determined that I needed a solid foundation. :rofl:
So I gots stories. :book: :book:
First...my phone went :boom: yesterday. :faint: No fire, no splosion. But the battery bulged the back & split the sides open. :uhoh:
I just noticed that my case (wallet style) would not close & at first thunk it the case. But when I took the phone out of the case... :scared:
So...funny thing is B's phone has been in the dying process & I been fussing at him to 'stop bitching & just get a new phone'. He'd say, "Yeah, yeah... I know... I will." And my phone had been fine but it was the one that went :boom:
So so... I quickly searched & found a Google Pixel 6a at Best Buy for $99...regularly $399. :faint: So off we went to Jackson but when we got there & were completing the process we got to a point where they had to text B for a confirmation code (Verizon) & he realized he had forgotten his phone!! :woe:
So we came home & he ordered 3 of the $99 phones! :cheer: I'm on J's hotspot right now & curiously enough my bulging, split open phone is charging. :faint: I really did not think the battery would take a charge. :huh:

Pickles.... :spitcoffee:
You just reminded me that I have a bag full of bell peepers in the little fridge that always gets forgotten about. :woe:
I had to pick them tho. Or lose them. :eek:
:bsl:
And this... I really has no clue how a nermal person would be :egg: pected to change a Motorola battery :horror: There are just soooo many places to mess up AND the whole thang is plastic, glue and sticky goo :blob: :gaah: PLUS there are absolutely no instructions BUT for $15 it's well worth it :thumbs:... is why I gotted a new $99 phone.
I'ze skeered :scared: to even open mine up. :uhoh:
"Story 2. :book: "
K that is a sad cursed fambily :horror:
Mom says, "I don't believe in curses but I swear that family is cursed.". :faint:
So I'm looking out the window....cuz it's 30 degrees :shiver: ...and it looks like a light snow cover out there tho it's really heavy frost.
I had Mexican sunflowers that were 7' tall & 6' wide & LOADED with beautiful orange blossoms. Right now they are glazed over.
I figure by tomorrow (or sooner) all the blossoms will be drooped & the plants will be brown. My Princess tree out back is dropping leaves like rainfall. :chuckle:
It's truly a new season now. :sigh: Tho it is nice to take a break from mowing & weeding so we can get other things done. :wiggle: Like the weekend before Thanksgiving we are sending J off to live with Mom while we rip up her carpet & lay new flooring. B is off the whole week so we're hoping to knock out her room in 3ish days & then move on to other things. Like trimming woody ffutses & wood chipping. :chuckle:
Today I think I shall stuff peepers. :righton: :thanks:
And prolly chop & freeze some as well.

We had the usual amount of howling coyotes & wolves & owls & such but nobody gotted any candy. :no:
K, so we have a new diet-related issue that I'd like your opinion about. :scratch:
:b: went to the dentist thinking he had a cavity. He did not :nonono: but what he does have is accelerated tooth decay overall.
The dentist thunk it from the berries he eats every day and he recommended cutting out the berries & using a fluoride rinse to halt the decay.
Dr E says NO fluoride. :scratch: And Dr E says eat lots of berries.
And Dr E never mentions tooth decay as an issue with the diet. :sigh:
Fwiw he uses agave on his berries (raspberry, blueberry, blackberry mix).
How about xylitol on his berries every day?
And yes or no to the fluoride? :scratch:
I noes these questions are in one of your many wheelhouses. :pie:
Elsewise...still cold :shiver:
And cursed fambily got worse, :faint: Another of the boys is in jail for threatening to kill his young niece & nephew. :wtf: :crazy:
So of 6 kids & 2 parents... mother suicided, father freak accidented, boy died from drug-related CHF, boy in jail for assault & threatening to kill, boy in jail for arson. That leaves 1 girl who is homeless, another girl (the eldest & most successful by far) and one more boy who 'seems' different, in a good way.

:doh:
Gotta :run: so real quick ...
Don't waste xylitol fructose undoes the benefits.
Google K2 teeth before and after.
I has new remineralizing and hardening teef protocol ... later ... in the meantime ozone to killz s.mutans. Also real omega 3s.
[-- Back --]
SUDDENLYN Dad needed a chauffeur ... he cleverly scheduled a teeth cleaning after an eye appointment fergetting that he cannot drive after they add the drops to his eyes :woe:
Anywho eyes and teef doog and Dad is back home eating :pie: yes very berry :eip: :yes:
First keep in mind that Dr.E's protocol is essentially a vegan diet ... just harder 'cuz it also involves no oil or processed anythin ... AND a vegan diet is not "healthy" sustainable without a lot a LOT of werk and youse don't does that part :therethere:
Vegans and vegetationists notoriously have bad teeth ... most claim it's the :egg: tra starches 'n sugars and what not that replace the :cow: The long story ... Weston A. Price a Canadian dentist :blah: :blah: "... diet as the primary factor causing tooth decay ... " :blah: :blah: "Price's research suggested vitamin B and mineral salts were important dietary components to prevent caries" Wikipedia Link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_A._Price#Nutrition) ... :blah: :blah: there was a missing link he called Activator X which later became known as du DuH DUNN vitamin K in particular K2 :angel:
Yes, supplementation helps but it's not as doog as :cow: but in addition to D :bump: B vitamins and ideally Cod Liver Oil {fermented is betterer :whistle: } but then there's that whole eat no oil ffuts :whistle:
Anywho I would disinfect the teef with siguie brand ozone water to killz the S.mutans bacteria :blob: that causes cavities then brush with um that Japanese toothpaste that I has which contains the speeshul micronized hydroxyapatite mineral I'll post it later when I git back 'cuz there'sa bunch of them but only one that really werks PLUS use a speeshul remineralizing gel with fluoride like what I use but there are only 2 brands that werks and yup more later 'cuz I gotta :run:
Thinxz of B's teef as eroded more than cavity eaten ... the pain was likely from his teef becoming more porous ... following the path to "sensitive teef". Easily fixable :yes: and much cheaper than filling a cavity ... specifics later :run:
[--Back Agin --]
K the toothpaste I use and recommend is Apagard Premio (https://amzn.to/47iqC5x) <= Amazon link this is a link for 2 tubes and is what I usually git though these sell for ~$4 or $5 in Japan here they are about $12 per tube {$24 total} or one tube for like $18 :roll: There are also various types, I used to use the M-Plus, now I use the Premio and got Dad using it too. The high end version is "Renamel" but one tube is $35 and it's not worth it :nono: here are the Amazon options for Apagard (https://amzn.to/45YtYcT) :oz:
I also use either NovaWhite Remineralization Gel (https://amzn.to/40irEMB) <= Amazon link or just Remineralization Gel (https://amzn.to/40nqVth) <= Amazon link ... whichever is cheaper at the time I'm ordering. These are a little tricky and you need to pay attention to the ingredients because the sellers screw everything up ... this isn't their main product it's a secondary product to fix the damage from the :carp: whitening gel which damages teeth getting them white. This one fixes the damage by remineralizing ... in particular you want to see Calcium Pyrophosphate and Sodium Fluoride
The "best" remineralizing ffuts in the US is GC Tooth Mousse (https://amzn.to/464EOhy) <= Amazon link but it's $20 for 40g :faint: Iffen yer teeth are really REALLY bad yeah it's a doog choice but mine are doog and I like to research ffuts :wiggle: also they don't sell TuttiFrutti no morez :drama: Oh and Mi Paste is basically the same ffuts but they has Recaldent which is the trade name for the phosphate calcium deliver mixture :oz: also doog :yes:
I'm also looking at two other speeshul toothpastes the Biorepair and Regenerate :scratch: but no verdict yet :nono:

K, so you're saying that it's the lack of :cow: moreso than the excess fruits & vegetables? :scratch:
If so then why have I not had this issue years ago? :scratch:
And would it not be 'better' to feed him a :burger: every 2 weeks rather than dose him daily with OIL? :no:
I ordered the toothpaste & gel ffuts so as to get it here soon. :wiggle:
And I read quite a bit on K2 before & afterness. :yes:
I am not opposed to adding supplements it's just that it gets 'spensive when you does it x3 cuz well...J & I are likely in the same boat.
He had his regular cleaning yesterday & she said that his "teeth are not so bad" :chuckle:
I guess she meant they weren't as bad as she expected from seeing the doc's notes. :dunno:
3rd morning in a row that it looks like snow outside... :shiver: :snowball:
But it seems this cold snap is revo. :cheer: Back up near 70 by the weekend. :bliss:

Yeah Bluehost is messing with eberythang agin :gaah: ... it's gonna be an ongoesing thang too :fist: Tech :nickel: ly a guaranteed 99% up time means a site can be down for 3.5 daze per year :uhoh: Also they are trying to push eberyone into using Wordpress 'cuz it's easier for them :gaah:
"K, so you're saying that it's the lack of :cow: moreso than the excess fruits & vegetables? :scratch:
Actually it's more complicated than that ... it also has to does with how he eats/chews, the pH of his mouth nermally, how often and what he drinks, age and on and on.
All I'm saying is that K2 is involved in osteocalcin formation and is pertinent to teef (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) Weston A. Price figured out that Activator X { :secret: which is actually ALL of the K vitamins} was somehow important :yes: Not only for teef but also jaw formation :D
Teef crowding in modern hoomanz is NOT genetics :nono: it's the result of diet and referred to as Developmental Plasticity ... Why Do We Have Such Crooked Teeth? (https://youtu.be/FWds-tGnHlI?si=2nlDaL91jYXmiGlm) <= youtube video
"If so then why have I not had this issue years ago? :scratch: "
Um :egg: scuse me asking but didn't you loose a doog number of teefs? :whistle:
"And would it not be 'better' to feed him a :burger: every 2 weeks rather than dose him daily with OIL? :no: "
You have no way of determining his K2 levelz much less how much his body needs nor his reserves. Also that 2 week number was the minimum I advised for testing porpoises for microvascular inflammation to subside, it's possible it never completely goes away PLUS microvascular inflammation and endothelial shutdown/reduction are two separate variables.
Unfortunately I'm not awarez of any does this to fix eberythang answers :therethere: The :logic: al course is to fix the blockages first THEN git him off that vegan :horror: diet :angel:
For realz and I noes I keep saying this but an ALL plant based diet is incredibly difficult to sustain AND be healthy on. No matter what diet you choose there's ALWAYS a weakest link and that resource/physical attribute/whatever will be what the diet fails.
Think of the WTFPB diet as medicine :yes: you likes the idea of doof being ones medicine right ... well it werks for his CAD but like ALL medicines there are drawbacks :therethere: Use his diet to fix what ails him, then treat symptoms with whatever is needed THEN when healthy :flex: eat :cow: :angel:
"I am not opposed to adding supplements it's just that it gets 'spensive when you does it x3 cuz well...J & I are likely in the same boat."
Does you eat berries eberyday too? Also does you both have similar teef sensitivities? Also does you eat as much fruit/sugar as B?
The thang is osteocalcin is also a hormone that effects testosterone as well as insulin ... eberyone is different and may or may not need different thangs :angel:
Anywho coinkadinkilly I boned up on osteocalcin :rimshot: 'cuz of ghostghurl :yes: Ya seez I can unintentionally ... usually ... bury peoplez (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/goodnight.gif) with all the :carp: I noes. So I tries to dole it out slooowly so as not to overwhelm ... ya noes just right whelmz :yes:
Thang is the goal was to undoes her diabetes but for that she needz "deep" and prolonged autophagy which wont werk until after her stenosis is resolved :drama: Thang is a Nitric Oxide :bump: will help so that goes first but then she'll need rapid collagen formation since that's the replacing arterial bit and for that Mega dosing vitamin C :angel: ... yes B needs it too but don't goes there yet yer :brain: cannot handle it :therethere: Oh and Pan could use it too but she weren't inerested :sigh: Anywho after NO :bump: and Mega C :thwack: I was gonna throw the K2 osteocalcin thang at her :brick: 'cuz not only does it help regulate glucose metabolism it does it by promoting β-cell proliferation and insulin secretion which would play well with her capsaicin supplements.
Anywho that's how I plan thangs full :donut: ... same for B verify the cloggy parts are fixed then moove on :buttkick:
:vibes: :sparkle: :wwsd: :sparkle: :sebiv:

Oh and that toothpaste ... think of the hydroxyapatite as :brick: s they is doog at filling in holes :yes: the blue gels are like mortar holding thangs together better PLUS the fluoride converts some of the hydroxyapatite to fluorapatite which makes the teef harder stronger faster um well the first two anywho :angel: Oh and I've never used the included mouth pieces nor the amounts they sez to use I just put a little lentil or half lentil sized dab where I wants then :offtobed:

When I gotted that implant he was amazed at how solid my bones was. :yes:
But yes, sometimes my teef feel thenthitive tho not painful or often. And sometimes they feel 'squeaky'...hard to describe. :scratch:
I likes the lentil-sized gel thingy cuz the idea of a trayfull of fluoride is :uhoh:
And finally...you recognize that eeerbody's different. :wedgie: :chuckle:
Between the lines you kinda sorta admitted that a dairylos vegetarian diet is perfect for me. :righton:
So is it only :cow: you thinkz he may need? Or will other meatz suffice? He's always favored chicken, in any form or fashion. :yes:
But he also loves a doog :burger:
So I been pretty much awake since 2AM. :yes: Shaggy came to get warm & woke me up...then Sweets fell off the table where she's been sleeping on a blanket. Then Cookie wanted out.

So I got a box of Twining jasmine green tea. :yucky:
Why? Becuz my autoship arrives on Tuesday & I am out of Numi Jasmine. :bawling: I guess I've drank more than I realized. :chuckle: It says about 200 cups... I get it every 2 months so 100 cups a month so 3ish cups a day. :wiggle:
Anyway...it was the ONLY jasmine green they had & the box says, "Discover the exotic taste ofone of the world's favorite teas"
and I feel really bad for anyone who thinks this is a doog as it gets. :yucky:
The green tea part is fair....the jasmine part is almost invisible.

Pretty sure you is fergetting the part where the dentalist said you needed curettage and debridement :whistle: and you said nu uh too :egg: pensive you'd fix it yerself and I said no you cannot :blah: :blah: etc. :blah: :blah: ad infinitum :whistle:
And yes :smokes: were certainly a factor :yes: so of course after stopping they will be much healthier ... ya noes what's left anyways :whistle:

Cool did he gives you the T-score {bone density} or just sez that cuz you met the minimum needed for the procedure and was trying to be positive :popcorn:

What does you has against fluoride? :scratch: Green and black tea are some of the best doof sources of fluoride ... YOU likely have ingested far more than anyone :end: :muaha:

Also with the tray you put it on then rinse it off, my way you ingest a lentil sized amount nightly :muaha:

No and espeeshully NOT dairylos :nono: you are already spending a fortune on supplements but :egg: s and dairy are giving you a lot a LOT that you would otherwise need from more supplements.

Dr.E's protocol can reverse issues like B's in less than 18 months and I even found that one :egg: zample so very similar to B's as evidence that it is possible. The further you git away from Dr.E's path the longer and less likely reversing will become. ALL tweaking comes with a cost so make sure it's worth it :angel:

I had to google "Z-pack" 'cuz I aint neber heard of it afores :scratch: Does he have sumthin growing at the roots or sumthin? :dunno:
Regardless give him cs 'cuz it :bump: s the effectiveness of antibiotics AND he should gargle and keep the cs as close to whatever to maximize effectiveness :yes:

Yeah I never unerstood why Twhining was popular :unthumbs: for "cheap" -ish Jasmine tea I usually gits Harney & Sons. They are not the best BUT doog enough for what I wants :yes:
"The green tea part is fair....the jasmine part is almost invisible. "
Oh then iffen you has jasmine try reinfusing it yerself :yes: You don't even need to :egg: spose then redry :nono: Just add jasmine flower directly to the tea as you brew it. Jasmine scent is super strong so you might need just one petal or so for a cup. It's really simple too ... mom liked hibiscus tea with jasmine as well as olive leaf and jasmine :oz:
"And the toofpaste & gel will be delivered on Sunday. :yes: "
Iffen you can find a teef that has fine ridges on the side ... it's very common ... I would git a digital microscope shot of it but you can just take a :brain: memo :roll: ... anywho an easy way to see iffen and how fast this ffuts werks is how quickly them ridges vanish :yes: Also the teef sensitivity should goes away purty quick :oz:

Gonna take more than a cement ball cuz Mom's 4x4 cedar pole has been smashed to smithereens before.
She has a firewood stack of former mailbox posts. :rofl:
She says next time it happens we're gonna get it moved.
See, there are only 4 mailboxes that continuously get smashed & it's cuz of the road. On the house side of the road is the 4 houses (spread out over half a mile or more) and on the mailbox side of the road is a deep ditch going down to a field that houses corn, cotton, soybean, rapeseed or wheat. There is also a curve, sharper than it seems, that lands many people down in the field when they are going too fast. :woe: So Mom wanted it moved to the same side as the houses so she doesn't hafta cross the road but also where it is far less likely to get hit.
But no.... that would screw up the route, they say. :nonono:
But... Mom, being 80, can get a doctor's note & force the mailperson to pull into her drive & bring it to the house. :yes:
We moved it about 10' from where it was, but boy oh boy we've been up & down the road with it looking for the sweet spot. :chuckle: He got it a foot deep, somehow, cuz it's planted in 'road base'...gravel & compacted dirt...and quickreted. :laugh:
Oh & I does like rose petal tea. :drool: There is a white rose that is delicious, But, of courses, they don't sell any of that here in the land of sweet tea (black tea, iced, with tons of sugar :yucky: downright syrupy & it's fed to kids... I loved it as a kid :rofl: ). Speshul teas I find at Tommy's but he only has what he has.
But get this!!!! <Insert cool back flippy guy here>
Yesterday my jasmine arrived BUT... it was the wrong tea! :woe:
What it is is organic jasmine pearls! :happydance: $55 a pound. :happydance:
Omg! This is reminiscent of Rishi jasmine tho I never had Rishi pearls. I ain't never had ANY pearled tea tho years ago I did make myself nearly sick with gunpowder green :hysterical: Didn't noes it would expand like it did.
So I let them know that I received the wrong item & guess what?
They are sending my regular jasmine green right away! :happydance:
Thanks Universe! :sparkle: I could get used to the good ffuts!
How does one hold toothpaste in their mouth for 10 minutes without gagging? :wtf:
The directions say brush gently & thoroughly for 3-5 minutes. I put a timer in the bathroom. :check:
We gots 3 days of 80ish! :bliss:

I dunno about the organic part :roll: but jasmine pearls are my favourite :thumbs: 'cept for the fact they look like water spyderz when they open :no:
Anywho I has the Harney & Sons Dragon Pearl tetrahedron thangs which are quite nice :liplick: but Tao of Tea has some of the bestest jasmine pearls :thumbs:
"How does one hold toothpaste in their mouth for 10 minutes without gagging? :wtf: "
Just put a little in yer mouth and move it around with yer tongue. As you does this saliva gits added and it becomes like a gooey white mouth rinse. The thang is saliva should contain the ingredients to rebuild teef so now that you has even more :brick: s rebuilding can goes faster AND it lets you swoosh in areas that the brush cannot reach :angel:
Anywho when it gits to be too much or :yucky: begins spit it out :oz:
I only eber does this after a dental cleaning followed by the blue gel at night :oz: ... you don't want to rebuild on top of tartar :nono: Right after a cleaning though is a doog time to start this process :thumbs:
We had our first :rain: :happydance: yesterday dad recorded 0.03 inches and today is already 0.02 inches :yesss:
Yeah I noes that's barely detectable misting BUT Dad's new toy did detect it :woohoo: I't a haptic rainmeter so nuthin is collected and it's AMAZINly accurate :faint: very cool :thumbs:

That's a truly tiny amount of rain. :chuckle: And a thenthitive measurer.
Of courses, I live in the land of 3-5" being no big deal. :umbrella:
But how does you know it's accurate? To what do you compare it?
Zen Aunt has an app that supposedly tells you exactly how muches one gets in their specific area but I doubt it's accuracy.
I think it's called Pocket Rain Gauge or somethin like that. :chuckle:
Boy oh boy energies are tense today. :wtf: Quite inneresting. :wiggle:
But I gets to play outside again. :bliss:
Tomorrow I'm taking Mom to Jackson to a Regenerative Medicine/holistic medicine clinic.
The doctor is an MD with an also-degree in biochemistry. A doctor who thinks like a scientist!
Anyway, this is the place I considered taking Jacki but she got better. The doc/founder was an anesthesiologist who became frustrated with western medicine & began seeking alternatives 25 years ago. He has all the cool toys, like a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. :yes:
I am looking forward to seeing what he's all about. :yes:
Oh & with Mom it's her back. Has been for over 30 years. She's had light therapy (they call it laser), accupuncture, chiropractic adjustments....spent a small fortune at her chiropractor's office so I convinced her to try something different.

"But how does you know it's accurate? To what do you compare it? "
I tested it :duh: it's the way of my peoplez :drama:
Srsly :yes: I tested it but I used BIG drops from a titration system that would measure the amount of liquid hitting it over time ... 20 minutes ... spread out with a diffuser so it wasn't one big drop :oz:

Her lower back has been an on & off thing for 30 years or so. :yes: She had back surgery that long ago to unpinch a nerve (sciatica). And it hurts most when she's active, making it difficult to walk. Plus she gets shorter & shorter. :sigh:
But YES, her chair :suck: s . It's a well-worn recliner and she often sits with her legs bent to the side & then is scrunched over sideways with her tablet. :sigh: I've been fussing at that for years. Cuz when she sits too long, then getting up is difficult & painful.
She's been told it's 'arthritis' and I know she's had imaging but can't remember when or what last.
The regular provider just gives her pain pills (ketorolac). :sigh: And the chiro has done extended light therapy & many many accupuncture treatments which both seemed to help for a day or 2....as long as she wasn't too very active.
The prednisone pack she gotted for her rash actually helped her back more than anything. :yes: But it also was temporary.
The Doc was an anesthesiologist and also has a degree in.....wait for it...
biochemistry! :cheer:
He does a lot of anti-aging ffutses as well.
Gotta :run:
Last day of summer here. :bliss: High of 82. :happydance: Back to 'reality'.... 60s/40s ...tomorrow.

:doh: well iffen it was from surgery then very VERY likely it's them fibroblasts :fist:
In other wurdz fibrosis aka inflamed scar tissue :therethere:
Fibroblasts are generally doog well mannered cells that produce collagen but the body needs to remove them after scar tissue is formed and the wound is declared healed :cleanse: by the body. Unfortunately sometimes they do not git cleared and the problems ensue :therethere:
Anywho the doog news is there's plenty that can be done for this :yes: Typically it woulda been doned ~7months {200 :daisy: } after the initial surgery though 'cuz that's the cutoff for sumthin aint quite right :gaah:
As always lasers is a doog answer :yes: though I'm also hoping for ultrasonic wands or :scratch: I thinxz it was called "shockwave" therapy :yes:
"biochemistry! :cheer: "
An undergraduate degree in biochemistry :roll: he did that 'cuz that's where the gurlz are ... trust me 8)
"He does a lot of anti-aging ffutses as well."
That's where all the doog ffuts is :thumbs: It's also why he should notice her metformin and a1c and :buttkick: the keto push :bump: plus creatine and taurine of course :wiggle:

It was a nuf day. :elfparty:
She saw the NP & not the doc tho he was very doog at esplaining & listening.
He said they have so many options it would be overwhelming but he felt the first & best treatment was for the doc to "burn the ends of the nerves" (his words) tho later he used the word "ablation". He had her most recent MRI (18 months ago).
Thing is...to jump through the insurance hoops....she has to go weekly for 4 weeks before they can does the procedure. :sigh:
She has to go through 2 tests, of sort, to qualify. And then 2 "reporting visits" a week after each 'test' as also ordained by insurances. I reckon they wanna weed out those who may not really need the procedure. :sigh:
So next Wednesday we go & the Doctor will inject lidocaine or novocaine or some sorta caine into 3 or 4 areas of the spine & then we are to go walk around the stores or get something to eat or elsewise keep her active until the numbness wears off.
If, by chance, she gets no relief then they move on to a different treatment but he thinks she's gonna feel better than she has in a long time.
Then a week later we go back to report.
Then another week later a second required numbing.
Another week later, another report.
Finally...the actual ablation will be done & he says the pain relief should last 18 months to 2 years, or possibly the rest of her life.
He also said tho that often is the case when the 'main issue' is resolved then the other buried issues tend to appear & they will address those as well.
Mom was kinda bemoaning the process on the way home but I says, "It's no big deal. One day a week. If it will give you relief then it will be worth it." Then I says, "I'm sure you can skip the initial test steps if you just wanna pay for the procedure out-of-pocket" and she got quiet. :rofl:
When she does much of anything her back gets so bad....she rated it a 10/10....but she's a super-tough, stiff upper lip kinda person & just bears it.
Meanwhile... :fall: is back! :happydance:

Oh, Zen Aunt wanted me to ask your opinion on aluminum in deodorants.
We found out yesterday that she uses Milk of Magnesia as a deodorant. Jacki found it :hysterical: Mom & I found it ddo, but in just a bit of googling I discovered that she is not alone.
She is concerned about breast cancer since that was the initial cancer that their seester, Travelling Aunt, was diagnosed with.
(It also spread to liver, hips, pretty much everywhere :sigh: )

"Oh, Zen Aunt wanted me to ask your opinion on aluminum in deodorants."
:horn: Deodorants Do NOT contain aluminum :nono: only Antiperspirants do :oz:
Milk of magnesia is just magnesium oxide in a watery slurry so YES it would werk as a "deodorant" :yes: but not as an antiperspirant :nono:
However, she would likely find real talcum powder a better option since it goes on dry and is a magnesium silicate which while not the same as magnesium oxide is purty darn similar :yes:
As for cancer concerns there really is no proof that aluminum has any cancerous effects, the same is true for talcum/baby powder. :angel:
That said antiperspirants {not deodorants} with or without aluminum can cause issues ... it's that whole closing off the sweat gland thang :uhoh:
I would recommend ZA git Magnesium Oxide Powder (https://amzn.to/46c6HnE) <=Amazon Link and use that instead of the liquid ffuts :yucky: One dose of the liquid contains less than 500mg of actual powder and the pure powder wont have all of the :yucky: ffuts :nono: Oh and she could mix it with water, alcohol, marmalade, whatever floats her boat and use it as a deodorant :yes:
That said I would recommend the siguie brand mixture of Titanium Dioxide {TiO2} powder with powdered magnesium oxide :yes: TiO2 adds an antimicrobial :bump: PLUS it has many other uses :yes:
FYI: Do NOT breath in powdered mineralz 'cuz that does cause problems :horror:
As for durtmomma ... "He said they have so many options it would be overwhelming ..." ... ok that's a doog answer :yes: I woulda asked about some of the lesser invasive options :yes: Though to be fair nerve ablation does make sensicalz since she's had it for 30 years ... odds are the healing process has long since ended :roll: and nerve ablation is quick and is typically a one and done :angel: Though I'd :check: his numbers :hmm2: that 18 months to 2 years is more likely the time cycle most people have it redone at. The "pain" can start coming back in 6 months to a year 'cuz that's the time needed for the nerves to recover :whistle:
Also I'm purty sure the multiple testing is to isolate the nerves that should be ablated AND make sure the "pain" is not a "referred pain" ... this is where the pain is NOT where you thinxz it is. Like iffen the pain is in her shoulder joint BUT she feels it in her back ... it's a real thang :yes: but ablating the back nerves wont does nuthin :nono:
"He also said tho that often is the case when the 'main issue' is resolved then the other buried issues tend to appear & they will address those as well."
:woe: did the guy eber sez ... "there's yer problem " ... or some such 'cuz THAT would be useful. Iffen it's a fibrotic scar tissue there are ways to address it OR whatever It IS 'cuz otherwise she's just having insurance pay for a really intense TENS session :horror: :secret: nerve ablation is radio :vibes: :boom:
Srsly I was kinda hoping they'd treat the cause and not the symptom :sigh: or atleast find the cause :dunno:
Next time ya goes ASK what they thinxz is causing the issue :yes: or atleast what they thinxz the secondary issues will be :uhoh:
By the way has she taken Aleve, and does it werk for her? 'cuz naproxen isn't really a "painkiller" :nono: it's more of a powerful :flex: anti inflammatory which would suggest the main issue is chronic inflammation ... assuming it werked :whistle:

Arthritis. She has significant arthritis & degenerative discs in her back. :woe:
She's known that for years, hence the MRI-in-tow. :roll:
And yes, Mom was the first one we put on the Aleve therapy a few years back. :yes: Zen Aunt was freaking out at the amount she was taking. :chuckle:
What's helped Mom most with back pain is when she's had steroids (shots or prednisone pack) for other issues & the back feels better as well. But she understands that she cannot take prednisone for the rest of her life due to the :uhoh: issues.
The fact that her back does not hurt when she's sitting still, or sleeping, is telling.
But, ... sitting still all day is detrimental to everything else. :eek:
What I hadn't realized til yesterday was how many meds she's wound up with. :scared:
I says, "That's too many, Mom. We need to nix half of these!". Zen Aunt laughed & nodded. :yes:
She's on atorvastatin, bp med, another med to control the bp med induced cough, thyroid med, ketorolac, metformin & it seems there is one more...slipping my mind. She stopped the statin for a couple months & her cholesterol shot back up (3-400 total) so she went back on it.
But yes, she'd rather take drugs than change her diet. Her favorite foods are bacon, fried catfish :yucky: , fried chicken, mashed taters & chicken & dumplings. 'Real' southern doof. :yes: She's not a big volume eater tho & has never been a snacker. :nonono:
I talked to both of them about keto or ketovore (yeah, that''s a named thang now :chuckle: ) & they were quite disinterested.
"Too much work" says Mom.
And speaking of work... I been meaning to say to you that you often :blah: about me NOT doesing the work to ensure that we gets all the nutrients & :whatever: But thing is, I DO. I just does it from a different angle than you, or others might. I go to great lengths to make sure we eat an extremely varied diet, including all the colors at most meals, dried :bean: several times a week & greens most every single day.
Of course, we do 'cheat' infrequently now but it's mostly always healthy cheats as in a couple :egg: or walnuts or a drop of olive oil (for reals, I measure & use 1/2 teaspoon on oven fries taking them from inedible to edible. :chuckle: .... I put them in a bowl & use my hands to disperse the oil & we has them maybe once a month) None of the 'cheats' are on the regular.
Last night I made curry for the first time in 2+ years....with coconut milk. :ashamed: I used the light coconut milk :sigh: which was pretty good when you haven't had any in so long. And no oil cuz I now noes how to cook the onions, garlic & friends sans oil. :drama: And brown basmati rice that I gotted at Tommy's. :cheer: The curry had taters, onion, red, orange, yellow peepers & celery and oven-baked tofu cubes. You noes, on a pure Esselstyn diet even tofu is a no-no. :yes: He says use it for special occasions, as a dessert. :huh: "Too much fat". :faint:
I'm just saying I think WFPB is far more 'work' than the typical vegan diet. :yes:
B has a friend who's trying to be vegan (for weight loss & health) & he's always telling Butch about this or that factry food he's bought & loves (like a Jimmy Dean vegan faux sausage, biscuit, cheese) & B says, "Sorry Gibbs....I can't eat that." And he was frequently confused. :rofl: He's finally understanding the difference between the 2 & says to B, "Your diet is way too much work but if your wife ever cooks too much I'll gladly be the guinea pig.". :woe:
But for me & Nellie...chopping vegetables is not work. :matt:
Speaking of...gotta go Krogering. :elfparty: 4x fuel points on Friday & I've been getting at least $2 a gallon off each month...usable for up to 35 gallons each time, only can use $1 at a time.
And...gas is down to $2.65 a gallon here! :cheer: :bliss:
Happy Friday! :gstars:

"Arthritis. She has significant arthritis & degenerative discs in her back. :woe:

Does you noes what type of arthritis? 'cuz iffen it's a localized Inflammatory arthritis she has way more options :yes: The degenerative discs part is problematic :therethere: 'cuz yeah that requires fixing eberythang :horror:
"And yes, Mom was the first one we put on the Aleve therapy a few years back. :yes: Zen Aunt was freaking out at the amount she was taking. :chuckle: "
:doh: well I'm glad ZA freaked appropriately :yes: BUT that literally means that durtmomma's underlying health issue is chronic inflammation most likely due to growing insulin resistance :therethere:
"What I hadn't realized til yesterday was how many meds she's wound up with. :scared:
I says, "That's too many, Mom. We need to nix half of these!". Zen Aunt laughed & nodded. :yes:

Yeah Do NOT stop the statin :sofa: iffen she has BP cough medication she is way WAY out of :balance: ... :luna: ... she's too much like a Jenga tower :horror:
Metformin is one of my favourites :thumbs: but while it literally reduces her blood glucose level and improves triglyceride use it also messes with cholesterol levelz and when you has multiple drugs messing with one thang you can git dueling :deliverance:
Git her off the ketorolac first :yes: that :carp: is nasty :horror: I'm really surprised she's on that regularly :uhoh: Anywho, hopefully the new guy and that ablaitive nerving thang will does the trick :thumbs:
My main concern is that her A1c coupled with age puts her in a rather :egg: treme insulin resistant category ... in particular the area where important body parts start to fail {kidney, liver, :heart: }. In any event this is one of the main reasons why nitric oxide :bump: age would be advantageous ... improved circulation, reduced inflammation and of course increased insulin sensitivity :yes:
"I talked to both of them about keto or ketovore (yeah, that''s a named thang now :chuckle: ) & they were quite disinterested."
Actually there are 3 varieties Keto, Carnivore and Ketovore :angel: A carnivore diet is NOT a keto diet :nono: it's a high protein no carb diet which means a persons body is fueled by the power of :vibes: :sparkle: Gluconeogenesis :sparkle: :sebiv: which means the body is still predominantly running on glucose for engine #1 Being ketogenic means you run on oil NOT carbs or protein :nono: as in engine #2 :angel: A ketovore is someone who tweaks the oil to protein ratio to promote ketosis since gluconeogenesis is not particularly efficient :nono: All 3 have different benefits :angel:
"'Too much work' says Mom."
:chuckle: Well it prolly woulda gone over better iffen you actually learned what was involved first :whistle: Once you've learned the principles all 3 can actually be far less work, more satietying, even cheaper :yes: espeeshully when you knockoff the prescription drugs though I'm sure she has doog insurance coverage :whistle:
"And speaking of work... I been meaning to say to you that you often :blah: about me NOT doesing the work to ensure that we gets all the nutrients & :whatever: But thing is, I DO. I just does it from a different angle than you, or others might. I go to great lengths to make sure we eat an extremely varied diet, including all the colors at most meals, dried :bean: several times a week & greens most every single day. "

This is based just on the required mass and doof available. The only healthy vegans I noes literally keep a database of doof and nutrients and take a HUGE amount of supplements.

She's known that for years, hence the MRI-in-tow. :roll: "
Does you noes what type of arthritis? 'cuz iffen it's a localized Inflammatory arthritis she has way more options :yes: The degenerative discs part is problematic :therethere: 'cuz yeah that requires fixing eberythang :horror:
"And yes, Mom was the first one we put on the Aleve therapy a few years back. :yes: Zen Aunt was freaking out at the amount she was taking. :chuckle: "
:doh: well I'm glad ZA freaked appropriately :yes: BUT that literally means that durtmomma's underlying health issue is chronic inflammation most likely due to growing insulin resistance :therethere:
"What I hadn't realized til yesterday was how many meds she's wound up with. :scared:
I says, "That's too many, Mom. We need to nix half of these!". Zen Aunt laughed & nodded. :yes:
She's on atorvastatin, bp med, another med to control the bp med induced cough, thyroid med, ketorolac, metformin & it seems there is one more...slipping my mind. She stopped the statin for a couple months & her cholesterol shot back up (3-400 total) so she went back on it. "
Yeah Do NOT stop the statin :sofa: iffen she has BP cough medication she is way WAY out of :balance: ... :luna: ... she's too much like a Jenga tower :horror:
Metformin is one of my favourites :thumbs: but while it literally reduces her blood glucose level and improves triglyceride use it also messes with cholesterol levelz and when you has multiple drugs messing with one thang you can git dueling :deliverance:
Git her off the ketorolac first :yes: that :carp: is nasty :horror: I'm really surprised she's on that regularly :uhoh: Anywho, hopefully the new guy and that ablaitive nerving thang will does the trick :thumbs:
My main concern is that her A1c coupled with age puts her in a rather :egg: treme insulin resistant category ... in particular the area where important body parts start to fail {kidney, liver, :heart: }. In any event this is one of the main reasons why nitric oxide :bump: age would be advantageous ... improved circulation, reduced inflammation and of course increased insulin sensitivity :yes:
"I talked to both of them about keto or ketovore (yeah, that''s a named thang now :chuckle: ) & they were quite disinterested."
Actually there are 3 varieties Keto, Carnivore and Ketovore :angel: A carnivore diet is NOT a keto diet :nono: it's a high protein no carb diet which means a persons body is fueled by the power of :vibes: :sparkle: Gluconeogenesis :sparkle: :sebiv: which means the body is still predominantly running on glucose for engine #1 Being ketogenic means you run on oil NOT carbs or protein :nono: as in engine #2 :angel: A ketovore is someone who tweaks the oil to protein ratio to promote ketosis since gluconeogenesis is not particularly efficient :nono: All 3 have different benefits :angel:
"'Too much work' says Mom."
:chuckle: Well it prolly woulda gone over better iffen you actually learned what was involved first :whistle: Once you've learned the principles all 3 can actually be far less work, more satietying, even cheaper :yes: espeeshully when you knockoff the prescription drugs though I'm sure she has doog insurance coverage :whistle:
"And speaking of work... I been meaning to say to you that you often :blah: about me NOT doesing the work to ensure that we gets all the nutrients & :whatever: But thing is, I DO. I just does it from a different angle than you, or others might.

Veggie hammocks. :rofl: Pantyhose works especially well for that. :righton:
You prolly has some old ones to give him. :chuckle: :biggirlpanties:
And, goofus... ir I couldn't handle criticism as you say... I woulda :run: from here long long ago.
:spitcoffee:
I was just standing up for myself. :shera:
And no matter how hard you try to un-validate my intuition I noes what I noes & I noes I am an intuitive healer.
It's a thang. :pie:
As for Mom & ZA....they are like 90% of the population & they are not gonna do any speshul diets for any reason at all. Especially if there's a pill that can does the same thang (in their eyes). Mom says as much as far as the initial statin-izing. She said she'd rather take a pill & continue eating what she wants. They both (part of it is a generational thingy) frequently express 'pity' or 'saadness' or whatever about the things we cannot eat. :bawling: :rofl: They focus on the 'lack'...the sacrifice...and not the benefit.
For reals.
Food is an ingrained part of southern life. :sigh: Unhealthy food at that. :sigh: As is evidenced by the diabetes & obesity epidemic.
I mean...McKenzie's first festival was the Fried Food & Sweet Tea festival. :woe: They dropped the 'fried food' from the name last year primarily cuz they didn't have enough fried food vendors :hysterical:
So no... I'm done. I'm also not studying something for them when I know they do not want it. :nonono:
Gotta :run: Off to Knoxville today. :wiggle:

First discovered in the 1940s, allulose occurs naturally in foods including wheat, figs, raisins, maple syrup and molasses.
Allulose. :check: Maybe that's why Dr E only really favors maple syrup. :dunno:
Zen Aunt will be very interested in that. She's a sugar junkie who always tries to satisfy with stevia or xylitol but winds up giving in & eating a jar of marshmallow creme or somethin. :rofl:
And no... I know these 2 women quite well. :yes: Only in her mid-60stheir mother, my grandmother, said she was gonna eat what she wanted & die happy. Well...she did & died after a year of misery at the age of 68. She was 5'2" and weighed about 220 & absolutely refused to change anything about her diet ever. She died from CHF due to chronic bronchitis & emphysema (she never smoked) likely due to obesity tho Mom & ZA won't admit that. ZA thinks she died due to overuse of prednisone. :sigh:
Bottom line is she died when she was meant to go. :yes: She left just an hour after their 50th anniversary open house where she got to see every single family member & friend. A beautiful farewell. :hearts:
On the other hand, B wanted to live. :yes: He gots me. :wiggle: And Jacki. :wiggle: And he/we truly loves our life together.
Mom has already stated that she's 'done'. She says she's lived & done & had a great time but she never thought she'd live 10 years without Dad & she's fine if she just doesn't wake up one morning.
Zen Aunt has not said that but the writing's on the wall... her son lives 2 miles away but she sees him only a handful of times a year.
And her grandson, Matthew, lives an hour away & is now fully under the thumb of his mom & step-dad, as well as fighting the salmonella &'friends'... He was her raison de etre (oui, I noes the diacrits but not how to use them on this chromebook :rofl: ) but recently she choked up in saying that he hadn't been to her house in 5 months.
I am 100% certain that if Mom was diagnosed with a fatal disease tomorrow, rather than alter her diet to heal or alleviate symptoms, she'd use it as a reason to eat everything she loves. :yes: And that's ok. Dad wasn't willing to change his diet. He loved going to chemo cuz the volunteers had mini pecan pies & fudge & even fried pies sometimes. :sigh:
It's a southern thang, sig. :sigh: I don't know why or from where it stems, but they have fully integrated the 'southern food' into their beings. Southern food can be broken down into 3 categories:
1. Pork, pork & more pork. Including lard as well as burgers and an occasional steak
2. Fried, deep-fried & breaded, most often in cornmeal or just white flour. Fried chicken, fried chicken livers (they sell those at most gas stations :yucky: ), fried catfish, fried hush puppies, fried green tomatoes, french fries, fried pork chops, country fried steak, & much more. If you can cook it you can fry it as is evidenced by the menu at every diner. :sigh:
3. Baked goods. Biscuits galore, deep dish pies with waaaay more sugar than necessary, cakes. Chess pie is very popular & B loves it, I think it's :yucky: It's pretty much a sugar/butter pie. :faint: The standard peach pie recipe (cuz B had to bring it to me & I went :no: ) calls for heavy syrup canned peaches as well as LOTS of sugar & butter.
I think you think I exaggerate when I say it's purt near impossible to eat out here...unless we goes to Jackson, Nashville, Memphis, Paducah or Murray. All 1 to 2 hours away.
Speaking of tho...
We ate at a place called Tomato Head :tomatoe: on Saturday in Knoxville. I axshully had a sammich with baked tofu on it. :cheer:
We were glad to have gone...Chloe's apartment is awesome, the neighborhood is speshul & the UT campus is beautiful.
We ate outside in an area filled with restaurants, parks & the likes & a most speshul peaceful protest was happening as we ate.
They had hundreds of peoples holding a very long clothesline with kids' clothes & holding signs asking for peace & ceasefire for Palestinian peoples. :hearts:
But we ain't never gonna do that again! :no: :no: :no:
:spitcoffee:
We drove nearly 700 miles.... 350 each way. With a 2 1/2 hour layover. We left at 7AM. Got home at 9PM. And most of those hours were in Mom's van. :wtf:
We may go again someday. But just not in one day.
But, alas (credit Zanna :hugs: ), we has elders that we don't wanna leave that long. :nonono:
And the energies...
:aaahhh:
Yesterday I felt one of those axshual loop de loops for the first time in a few years. It's like the feeling you get when on a ride that flips you briefly upside down except it occurs when simply standing. (Not in the motion of standing up & no my bp is not low or nothin)

"Allulose. :check: Maybe that's why Dr E only really favors maple syrup. :dunno: "
No :thwack:
:woe: Maple syrup is between 60% and 75% sucrose depending on grade, brand, harvest time :secret: later harvests have more mapley doogness :yes:
The only reasons I can imagine him recommending the ffuts is it' ha a slightly lower glycemic index than sucrose, has some nutrients and is so much more :egg: spensive than sugar that people will self moderate when it's their only sweetener :angel:
"Zen Aunt will be very interested in that. She's a sugar junkie who always tries to satisfy with stevia or xylitol but winds up giving in & eating a jar of marshmallow creme or somethin. :rofl: "
Stevia is :yucky: but xylitol is :thumbs: just pricey and not doog cooked :pukeface: Anywho 5g of allulose is basically just one teaspoon and :egg: serts a positive measurable effect for atleast 90 minutes. It can also be mixed with regular sugar and which literally means just adding ~15% to 25% to your sugar bowl gives you the health :bump: and unless you has :superman: taste budz like me 8) you prolly wont notice any difference and then only iffen yer looking for it.
Anywho I gotted dad to switch to my soda 'cuz I make AMAZIN soda 8) that just happens to be dosed with vitamin C for a :bump: in health AND flavour ... he likes citrus :oz: ... and allulose and monk fruit are both anti inflammatory and anti cavities AND just happen to taste like sucrose 8) PLUS there is that gut biome :bump:
Yeah I get it people want to eat what they want regardless of the consequences ... dad's the same :yes: ... heck I'm the same :wwsd: ... the point is to find the things you want that don't carry those bad consequences :angel:
"It's a southern thang, sig. :sigh: I don't know why or from where it stems, but they have fully integrated the 'southern food' into their beings. Southern food can be broken down into 3 categories:

Um yeah the thang yer kinda not getting :thwack: are those thangs 'can' be made "healthy" and no I Do NOT mean rewerkin the recipes ... those thangs as is ... straight out of the deep fryer :liplick:
For some people being in ketosis is just to allow them to eat all the greasy doof they want. For some going carnivore is just to fix that meat :cow: craving and ketovore for the win :bliss:
Oil, deep frying and ALL or mostly meat diets can be perfectly healthy :yes: AND depending on starting health may be :egg: stremely beneficial :angel: Not for B though that ffuts would take him out real quick :whistle:
Once you unertanz the functioning of Engines #1 {sugar fueled} and #2 {ketone fueled} you git many more options :angel: And I do not mean just dietary options neether :nono: Iffen you noes a person has a high blood glucose / insulin resistance / obesity thang aka "metabolic syndrome" there are a lot of simple (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) like options as well :angel:
Srsly spirulina poppers and adding a little allulose to the sucrose container is in that minimum effort maximum benefit category. Yes I noes they is not "cures" but they are options and there are a :butt: load of options that have real benefits with no real downside :nono: I'm just saying consider using them :oz:
" She died from CHF due to chronic bronchitis & emphysema (she never smoked) likely due to obesity tho Mom & ZA won't admit that."
She may not have smoked but she likely hung with too many that did. Second hand smoke is more likely to negatively effect those with a sedentary lifestyle. It's like sumo wrestlers :flex: they are an ideal case study of morbidly obese athletes ... when they are training and competing their health is roughly the same as weight lifters.

:woe: Maple syrup is between 60% and 75% sucrose depending on grade, brand, harvest time :secret: later harvests have more mapley doogness :yes:
The only reasons I can imagine him recommending the ffuts is it' ha a slightly lower glycemic index than sucrose, has some nutrients and is so much more :egg: spensive than sugar that people will self moderate when it's their only sweetener :angel:
"Zen Aunt will be very interested in that. She's a sugar junkie who always tries to satisfy with stevia or xylitol but winds up giving in & eating a jar of marshmallow creme or somethin. :rofl: "
Stevia is :yucky: but xylitol is :thumbs: just pricey and not doog cooked :pukeface: Anywho 5g of allulose is basically just one teaspoon and :egg: serts a positive measurable effect for atleast 90 minutes. It can also be mixed with regular sugar and which literally means just adding ~15% to 25% to your sugar bowl gives you the health :bump: and unless you has :superman: taste budz like me 8) you prolly wont notice any difference and then only iffen yer looking for it.
Anywho I gotted dad to switch to my soda 'cuz I make AMAZIN soda 8) that just happens to be dosed with vitamin C for a :bump: in health AND flavour ... he likes citrus :oz: ... and allulose and monk fruit are both anti inflammatory and anti cavities AND just happen to taste like sucrose 8) PLUS there is that gut biome :bump:
Yeah I get it people want to eat what they want regardless of the consequences ... dad's the same :yes: ... heck I'm the same :wwsd: ... the point is to find the things you want that don't carry those bad consequences :angel:
"It's a southern thang, sig. :sigh: I don't know why or from where it stems, but they have fully integrated the 'southern food' into their beings. Southern food can be broken down into 3 categories:
1. Pork, pork & more pork. Including lard as well as burgers and an occasional steak
2. Fried, deep-fried & breaded, most often in cornmeal or just white flour. Fried chicken, fried chicken livers (they sell those at most gas stations :yucky: ), fried catfish, fried hush puppies, fried green tomatoes, french fries, fried pork chops, country fried steak, & much more. If you can cook it you can fry it as is evidenced by the menu at every diner. :sigh:
3. Baked goods. Biscuits galore, deep dish pies with waaaay more sugar than necessary, cakes. "
Um yeah the thang yer kinda not getting :thwack: are those thangs 'can' be made "healthy" and no I Do NOT mean rewerkin the recipes ... those thangs as is ... straight out of the deep fryer :liplick:
For some people being in ketosis is just to allow them to eat all the greasy doof they want. For some going carnivore is just to fix that meat :cow: craving and ketovore for the win :bliss:
Oil, deep frying and ALL or mostly meat diets can be perfectly healthy :yes: AND depending on starting health may be :egg: stremely beneficial :angel: Not for B though that ffuts would take him out real quick :whistle:
Once you unertanz the functioning of Engines #1 {sugar fueled} and #2 {ketone fueled} you git many more options :angel: And I do not mean just dietary options neether :nono: Iffen you noes a person has a high blood glucose / insulin resistance / obesity thang aka "metabolic syndrome" there are a lot of simple (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) like options as well :angel:
Srsly spirulina poppers and adding a little allulose to the sucrose container is in that minimum effort maximum benefit category. Yes I noes they is not "cures" but they are options and there are a :butt: load of options that have real benefits with no real downside :nono: I'm just saying consider using them :oz:
" She died from CHF due to chronic bronchitis & emphysema (she never smoked) likely due to obesity tho Mom & ZA won't admit that."
She may not have smoked but she likely hung with too many that did. Second hand smoke is more likely to negatively effect those with a sedentary lifestyle. It's like sumo wrestlers :flex: they are an ideal case study of morbidly obese athletes ... when they are training and competing their health is roughly the same as weight lifters.

The surprisingly doog combo is full of color. That's one of the reasons why it's so doog. :yes:
And I love how you still get excited over a new toy just like a kid at Christmas! :happydance:
:bsl:
And this: Oil, deep frying and ALL or mostly meat diets can be perfectly healthy :yes: AND depending on starting health may be :egg: stremely beneficial :angel: Not for B though that ffuts would take him out real quick :whistle:
So my biggest question is.... how does a person know, unless they've been in a cath lab, whether the diet would hurt or help?
I mean...what if I'd put B on a diet like that just before he knew? :uhoh: And what if Mom or ZA have cloggy arteries & don't know it?
:scratch:
And this! She may not have smoked but she likely hung with too many that did.
Absolutely positively not. :nonono: Nobody in the family or friends smoked except the damn yankees (Mom & Dad) but Mom never smoked around her parents & Dad went outside tho we only saw them 3-4 times a year. (Amembers...we lived in Ohio...they were down here)
And she was not sedentary until the last year when she could not breathe.
She was an avid gardener...she won yard of the month year after year. :flower:
And she canned & froze vegetables all her life.
:nonono: She worked hard all her life. If anything caused the copd, it was pesticides or herbicides. :yes: She WAS surrounded by heavy kemikill usage her entire life. She picked cotton by hand (as did both my parents) & cut trailerloads of corn & okra.
She was my fairy grandmother. :wub: When we came to visit we had to walk the very long row of bulbs (daylillies, glads, irises, etc) & say, "Good morning, beautiful" to every single blossom. :wubsigh: He joy was gone when she could no longer be with her flowers (the heat was unbearable the last summer).
Nah...she was just worn out & it was time for her to go. :candle:

Spoo. Forgot to add that Mom quit smoking when her mother died. 1989. :faint:
Not out of respect or whatever, just becuz due to circumstances (and Mom hid to smoke) she hadn't smoked in 3 days & decided just to not start back. :yes:
And Grandmother was highly critical of smokers...constantly chirping at Dad...which is why Mom never let her see her smoke.
But... after her breathing became so labored she axshully apologized to Dad for nagging him all those years & said, "You do what you want, Robert. Here I am never having been around cigarette smoke & can't breathe.".
And truly...Dad smoked heavily his entire life & never had cardiovascular or lung issues whatsoever. :nonono: :crazy:
Just proves once again that things are not so cut & dried. So very many variables, many of which we are unaware.

" She picked cotton by hand ..."
Oh roughly 5% of cotton pickers and mill werkerz had chronic bronchitis from the dust :yes:
"Just proves once again that things are not so cut & dried. So very many variables, many of which we are unaware."
No one suggested anythin was "cut & dried" :nono: ... :smokes: like obesity are not themselves THE culprit :nono: which is one of the reasons the tobacco industry could claim no proofz :nonono: for so long. People like to find ONE thang and say there that's the witch um thang to blame :witchfly: But it's not the :smokes: :burger: :fries: :cow: or even all the soda, sugar nor kemikillz :nono: Heck even high dose radiation wont killz eberyone :vibes:
The truth is it IS the :smokes: :burger: :fries: :cow: all the soda, sugar and eberythang is kemikillz 8) the problem is eberyone is different. This is why the "bad" is what produces more harm to most peoplez and the "doog"... the most benefits ... however YMMV :rimshot:

You don't noes :nono: NOBODY noes :nono: it's why you need to makes an informed decision and understand the risks and benefits and tailor them to a persons lifestyle :yes:
B had pretty severe angina prior to cath lab and was on whatever you thunked the diet to be ... presumably reasonably healthy :dunno: From that information it was clear he needed a different diet and from his cath results and what you mentioned about Dr.E that protocol appears best suited for a quick fix and doog chance of reversal :angel:
Durtmomma and ZA already eat what they want when they want so the only real difference to make their diets keto would be tweaking their carb usage to shift their bodies to engine #2 ... the easiest way to accomplish this is a brisk moove towards carnivore and swap out the sugar with sumthin like allulose.
They already eat their durtfried oilz and what knottz so it's not like a big devastating change. All they really need to does is reduce carbs and most people do not have a problem trading toast for bacon :nono:
Anywho I just thunked iffen durtmomma's a1c is at the tipping point make a gentle slide into keto ... done right she prolly wouldn't even notice :dunno: However, every change stresses a body and some bodies cannot handle it so there's always risk involved :horror:

It should only be an inch or two but only about half of the roads on my commute are fully restored there are a lot of barren hills that are now just wrapped in what looked like burlap :uhoh: So thangs oughta git inerestin real soon :popcorn:

That said one notable benefit from a week of carnivorousing is rapid weight loss ... mostly water from the glycogen burn :vibes: but this also gits engine #2 ready to burn fat :sebiv:
Not wanting to does any of that is ok too :yes: the NO ffuts from afores :bump: blood flow :suck: AND reduce numerable inflammatory biomarkers which is what B wanted in order to undoes the blocky bits :oz: BUT it also werks for purty much eberyone :yes: AND my spirulina hack makes it purty easy :oz:
Just adding the allulose change also improves numerous aspects not only does it reduce the amount of consumed sugar it negates some of the bad carbing AND :bump: s gut health.
The improved gut health and blood flow are two key simple health :bump: s that do NOT require commitment nor sacrifice :oz:
Oh and my new toy just makes it easy to see that I 'can' adjust doof intake so that I goes to bed in glycolysis and wake up in ketosis OR whatever level of ketosis I want to play with at the moment 8) Ya seez ketosis is all fine and dandy but I'm really more inerested in autophagy and mitochondrial :bump: ing :angel:

You so funny. :rofl: You is the one who assumed my grandmother was exposed to second hand smoke & then you flipped to say in 3 illustrated paragraphs what I'd said in just a few words. :woe:
And you can talk until you're blue in the face but they ain't gonna does it. :no:
Firstly, neither of them likes meat well enough to does carnivore. They both eat very very little.
And secondly, they has strong opinions about what goes with what.... like meat & :tater:
Thirdly, & prolly most importantly, Zen Aunt has a close friend who losted 100 pounds on keto. And then she gained back 120. :yes:
So they both cite Jill & say, See? It's not worth it.
But they both have deeply ingrained foodities & they ain't gonna change. Mom, moreso but Zen Aunt, too.
For example, they love turnip greens, & mustard greens to a degree...but absolutely will not accept kale or collards or any other green. :crazyeyes: BUT...they will not eat a green of any kind unless it's with soup beans, candied sweet potatoes, hard-boiled :egg: & cornbread with molasses. Yes, they that persnickity.
I won't bore you but I could list a dozen meals that 'go together' & shall not be altered in any form or fashion. :horror:
1.Fried chicken (dipped in white flour & salt, nothin fancy), creamed :tater: (mashed) ,green beans, vinegar coleslaw & biscuits.
2.pork shoulder BBQ sammich with creamy coleslaw (on the sammich) with baked beans & wavy chips or tater salad. Wavy chips only go with bbq. :roll:
3. fried catfish rolled in cornmeal & salt only, hushpuppies, fries (baked :tater: can be swapped when watching calories), soup beans (great northern seasoned with pork & cayenne flakes) & vinegar coleslaw.
Etc, etc...
:b: always found it :hysterical: and will still ask Mom... You sure this goes with that? :bsl:
Next week we gonna have the same Thanksgiving meal we've had for at least 50 years. :faint:
I went through a stage where I yearned to mix it up...make a different 'stuffing' instead of the cornbread dressing of yore...but I got over it. :rofl: I can make what I wants at my house whenever I wants to.
Turkey, cornbread dressing, jello cranberry ffuts, egg gravy (like eggdrop soup except with sliced hard boiled eggs :rofl: ), sweet taters, asparagus casserole & smooshy (canned petite) :peas: When Mom says "cranberry" it means whole fresh berries, walnuts, oranges & sugar all proccessed & mixed into raspberry jelllo. No subs, no exceptions. :check:
With generic brown n serve rolls. :rofl: And a veggie tray & assortment of pickle & olives & such.
Oh but yesterday she gotted shot in the back. :rofl:
I could tell as soon as she walked out that she was standing straighter, hobbling less. :yes: And then I could tell when it began wearing off :sigh:as she inadvertently began slumping & limping & the pain showed on her face. :( She got 2 good hours & then another hour or so of reduced pain.
The Doc did say the vertebra where the past surgery had been was "fused" (I'm getting words through Mom, I didn't hear him) & he said there was significant arthritis &/or inflammation in the next vertebra up from the surging scars. Yeah... :siguie: right again. :yesss:
So I am hopeful this will ease her pain so that she can get moving & strengthen the area as well.
I found out yesterday tho that her biggest worry is that it is cancer. :huh: :therethere:
A friend of a friend had horrible back pain & leg pain & it wouldn't go away & they eventually found it was bone cancer. :woe:
I says, "Well...anything is possible but you've had this pain to some degree or another for years & years, number one. And number 2...the pain is gone when you sleep or are at rest. Cancer pain does not ease like that. Remember when Dad was in so very much pain & nothing, not even the heavy narcotics, would ease his pain?"
Then I says... "Plus....and a big plus... the doctor could see on the MRI exactly what is causing your pain.".
Then I find out that Zen Aunt has been worrying herself sick that Matthew has cancer. :huh:
He finished the 2 week more antibiotic & the infectious disease lady pretty much tossed him elsewhere.
She says she's tested for pretty much everything known & he's clear except for small amounts still of salmonella & C Diff.
She mentioned autoimmune disease (:yes:) & that he may need to see a gastroenterologist ( :duh: ). He's still running a low grade fever...still has diarrhea... nearly 6 months later. My money's on Crohn's. I've felt that for years...long before the recent infections.

I'd also try to throw in Sweet :tater: greens and the :tater: itself 'cuz there are tons of benefits. I would also swap out some of the dietary oils for MCT oil.

Oh on a side note :choir: ... oil induced vascular inflammation like what effects B is reduced with sweet :tater: and espeeshuly the greens but neber discard the water iffen you boils green :carp: :nono:
30 Days of Eating JUST ONE Sweet Potato Does This to the Body (https://youtu.be/tduRayavmJI?si=nSuOj2az89SgInDO) <= 13 min youtube video
For B you can just jump to cardiovascular benefits but the other two prolly the whole thang and no there's no NO ffuts in the video. Anywho the guy werks hard, and gits most of the ffuts correct but the best part is he includes the study links for what he sez :thumbs:
Oh and no I'm not suggesting you make eberyone eat sweet :tater: ebery day.
Also "vinegar coleslaw" is my easy :peas: y Nitric Oxide :bump: along with korean daikon carrot pickles :thumbs: Basically that and kale is what I've gotted Dad addicted to :muaha:

30 Days of Eating JUST ONE Sweet Potato Does This to the Body (https://youtu.be/tduRayavmJI?si=nSuOj2az89SgInDO) <= 13 min youtube video
For B you can just jump to cardiovascular benefits but the other two prolly the whole thang and no there's no NO ffuts in the video. Anywho the guy werks hard, and gits most of the ffuts correct but the best part is he includes the study links for what he sez :thumbs:
Oh and no I'm not suggesting you make eberyone eat sweet :tater: ebery day.
Also "vinegar coleslaw" is my easy :peas: y Nitric Oxide :bump: along with korean daikon carrot pickles :thumbs: Basically that and kale is what I've gotted Dad addicted to :muaha:
Ya seez that plus his morning oatmeal laced with MCT probiotic powder and yer fav maple syrup and gummy supplements is how I gotted Dad back up to FULL :flex: Plus I make sure he eats more (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) and :turkey: and avoid too much vegetation despite the veggie prisons proximity :club:
Anywho :horn: Do NOT force anyone to does anythin :buttkick: unless they is minions then it's part of their contact :whip: ... just make simple changes ... when they asks show them how and eventually they does it themselves 'cuz thangs git better and they may not realize why but people does the thangs that make them feelz dooger iffen it's not to much troublez :yes: and the best part is they'll thinxz they did it all on their own :angel:

I'm not forcing. :no: I'm not even talking to them about it. :chuckle:
Mom eats real doog, most of the time. She's a wee bit overweight but not really for an 80 year old.
One of her favorite breakfasts is canned salmon stirred into scrambled eggs. :yucky:
And for dinger she will often eat just a can of green beans or maybe some :popcorn:
She never overeats & does not snakc.
Zen Aunt knows as much or more than I does about nutrition & tries every add-on she ever reads about...flax, chia, coconut oil, etc.
She is more overweight but also has a significant sugar & food addiction that overrides her :brain: & she knows that, too.
Seriously, I bet she has 50-75 books about diet & nutrition. She has a LOT of books period. And she takes many many supplements.
Nope. Not mine to does. :nonono: As long as Mom is still able to cook & feed herself she gets to does what she wants. :yes:
In my opinion they both just need movement far more than dietary intervention. :yes:
Thanksgiving Dinger will be traditional, yet lighter. We've done this the past couple years or so. We've omitted at least a pound of butter from the traditional cooking ways. :yes:
Oh get this tho...
yesterday B came home looking & feeling quite sickly. Runny nose, congestion, scratchy throat & wicked cough that got raspier as the evening went on. :scared: He has historically leaned towards bronchitis & even pneumonia. So I made him some Traditional Medicinal Breathe Deep tea with plenty of honey & then I began souping. :wiggle: One of my favorite thinge to does. :wiggle:
I had 2 bonelos chicken breasts in the freezer for 'emergencies' so I boiled them forever (wasn't enough to bother getting down the pressure cooker) to make a doog broth. Added the usual immune boosting garlic & onion & a splash of tamari cuz it looked so pale :chuckle: . Then later I added celery, carrots, more onion cuz the first ones 'melted' away.
Then...I decided to add a whole bunch of finely chopped kale,some :tater: s, a can of cannelini beans, and a can of N.O.P. :tomatoes:
Salt, peeper, red peeper, oregano, thyme, rosemary & miso. Yes, miso.
And finally, a box of ditalini (at Jacki's request)
I just removed & sliced the chicken before adding any veggies & fed him a dish of chicken with Red Hot as an appetizer.
Then he put the chicken on his soup. J & I opted out. :yes:
Anyway...today he says he feels perfect! :faint: No snot, no cough, nothing.
And yes he did a covid test (for Mom, primarily) & it was negative. It was a newer one, too.
But we deduced he caught a little bug cuz he's developed dry eyes in recent days/weeks & has developed a habit of rubbing his eyes. :nonono:
It's :rain: here now. Did that atmospheric river zip across the country already? Doesn't matter, We needed the rain. :spring:

Weather here has been warmer than normal. It's goin' into the 60's today, but there are showers predicted this afternoon. Next week it'll get cooler; mid 40's. The real cold usually starts the weekend after thanksgiving. That's when we get a snap. Usually. :dunno:
I'm gonna try the Field Roast Celebration Roast with Sage and Garlic. First time with this. I should make my own, but that is an adventure, and not to be done for the first time at a family gathering. :nonono: Along with that will be mashed taters, sweet taters, brocolli, corn, stuffing, gravy, brussell sprouts, and of course cranberries. Desert is a pumpkin pie and a sweet potato pie. :liplick:
In other newses, our mad bomber guy must have meant business. The explosive discovered in Veteran was remote controlled up to 6000 feet. It was disabled. His residence had a host of bomb making equipment, along with chemicals that were volatile and unstable if not kept at a certain temperature. If they'd gone :boom: than most of downtown would have had catastrophic damage. Still don't know what the dude was planning or why. :uhoh:
I live about 4 country blocks (walking distance) from downtown. His residence is directly across the street from the village hall and village police station. :faint:
Buglet is standing/bouncing now. He was a creeper not a crawler. Lil' guy will be walking by his 1st birthday I bet. He's balancing on his own when he manages to stand. It goes so fast...He's a big boy. 2'6" tall, and about 29 lbs. All this a 10 months old. :eek:
So, off I :run: Gotta defrost my lentil vegetable soup for lunch, and marinate my tofu for dinners. :bye:

I have a Kroger faux turkey roast in the freezer that I'll cook for me. :b: will likely eat the real thing & Jacki is 50/50 as to what she eats tho she never really cared for turkey at all.
Buglet! :wub: Growin into a Bugle? :rofl: That seems really tall. :faint:
So happy to hear all is well with he & :ladybug:

I spent weeks on siguie brand faux pastrami and it was nearly "doog" :angel: That said siguie brand faux (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) cake is dang near identical to the real thang 8) though some people still don't consider that a doog thang :sigh:

... :woe: 6000 feetz isn't even 2km :roll: any cheap mobile phone and an earpiece extension and you have country wide :boom: capability OR just an RC vehicle remote like for planes or quad kopterz is better than that :yes:
Also what is this nonsense about volatile kemikillz only amateurs would use sumthin like that :fist: Doog :boom: kemikillz are very stable and shoul only be :boom: capable with a proper primer :hmm:

"Mom eats real doog, most of the time. She's a wee bit overweight but not really for an 80 year old."
You has an inerestin concept of what is doog and bad :therethere:
Weight really has little to does with health and for seniors and older it's actually better to be overweight to obese ... sadistically speaken :yes:
So ya noes Dr.E drones on and on :blah: :blah: about Nitric Oxide ... didja ever figurez out why.
As for durtmomma the problem is her A1c and the fact that she is already on metformin PLUS she has prolly gone and passed that menopause test or whateber :whistle: Otherwise ... according to yer memos :horror: ... her stats are doog :yes:
Iffen like ya sez in yer memos she eats like :carp: or Apparently 1 also like in yer memos she eats quite well it don't really matter and is not the point I keep pointing out :gaah:

She is more overweight but also has a significant sugar & food addiction that overrides her :brain: & she knows that, too.

Um yeah, she'd prolly does better getting some doog comprehensive blood werk :suck: some nutrition panels and some accurate inflammatory markers testing :thumbs: Then decide based on all that nutrition knowledge and bookages how to proceed :angel:
Srsly I take oodles of supplements BUT most are because I can only test so much on the minions :fist: Also most of them are :buttkick: ed iffen they don't does anythin oblivious afores they run out. The ones that do ffuts that I likes I stick with :yes:
This brings us FULL :donut: back to Nitric Oxide ... and I admit I owe youse for that one :ashamed: ... now it is kinda cool that I'm NO :superman: ... srsly who nude :dunno: ... without realising it I was favouring NO :bump: ing doofs and supplements.
As it turns out NO is very very doog at reducing inflammation ... also properly regulating inflammation ... and of course the dilation effect means better blood flow and oxygen/nutrition disbursement to the cells :angel:
Anywho that's why I gotted Dad addicted to Kale, siguie brand cabbage salad {aka coleslaw} and korean style daikon carrot pickles :angel:
Oh and in other newses ... we had :rain: and the first storm has passed :bye: ... but wait there's more ... another storm is comin in tonight :yesss:

Gideon :candle: Fare thee well. :bye:
And Lucian... :happydance: I believe you mentioned how you wouldn't mind hasing that car awhile back. :yes:
And...street legal golf carts rock. :headbang: My hometown has lotsa golf cartage.
As for N.O. .... I know. :sigh: But I think I told you already that Mom gave me the spirulina she bought.
So...yesterday we went back to the regenerative medicine place. :yes: And on the 29th Mom is having an ablation and PRP injections.
The doctor (I met him this time) said that her first lumbar vertebra is toast (my word). I think he actually used the word 'disintegrated'. :sigh: And the second one is 50% disintegrated & sitting right on top of the first. The third one is also near 50% gone but there is a teensy bit of space between it & the second one. He said, "I could get a needle between them if I absolutely had to but I'd rather not.".
They also recommended this treatment that dissolves visceral fat & builds muscle...Emsculpt NEO, but she's holding off on that cuz it was gonna be about 4K. :faint:
He said, & I fully agree, that she really has to build her core strength in order to support the back. But we decided we can find some exercises & she can does them habitually. :yes: He also says the technology was developed for 'hollywood types' & peoples who wanted to sculpt their bodies without exercise but he's found it especially beneficial in seniors who just need more muscle.
She does believe in light therapy tho (cuz of her chiropractors, not becuz of me. :chuckle: ) & has our bulb right now. She said it really helps with the pain.
Anyway whe asked me to order her one but I think she might be better served by something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-16x650nm-Wavelengths-Near-Infrared-Relaxation/dp/B0C3CCKWLD/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_0?pd_rd_w=hTuNf&content-id=amzn1.sym.225b4624-972d-4629-9040-f1bf9923dd95%3Aamzn1.symc.40e6a10e-cbc4-4fa5-81e3-4435ff64d03b&pf_rd_p=225b4624-972d-4629-9040-f1bf9923dd95&pf_rd_r=Q41WBFTXXAANHWJE9H1M&pd_rd_wg=wLs6h&pd_rd_r=7543e959-818f-492c-9827-27d5f48f7038&pd_rd_i=B0C3CCKWLD
Do you think that one is ok? Or is there something else better for her? The wand type would be something she could take along on her bus trips.
Elsewise...we gutted J's room, laid vinyl plank flooring, put it all back together again. :faint: Most of it in 2 days tho J & I had pre-gutted a few things. :faint:
And now...a leak in the hot water tank that B's addressing right now. Just the cold water line connector but it's awkward to get to. :vibes:

That wand sounds like a neat idea :asiel: But then I doesn't know much about 'em. Iffin it helps the pain, I'm all in. :thumbs:
B has my sympathies. I think I mentioned I despise plumbing. :yucky:
Today the weathers peoples have predicted a "wintery mix". Translated, that means sleet slushy stuffs in this neck of the woods. :sigh:
The whole mad bomber thang is not a thang. It's been hushed right up. No coverage except that he appeared in the local village court and did not enter a plea. That was last Thursday. Just seems weird how it ain't bein' covered a lot more. :hmm2:
Rosalyn Carter has passed away, and she was a lovely lady. She lived a full, rich life full of service. :candle:
All is calm here. For now. I gotta :run: to does cooking and cleaning stuffs. :bye:

Yeah Lucian sits a lot higher than Gideon but the heavy batteries are all really low so he corners nice though not the curve hugging feelz of Gideon le :sigh:
On the plus side he's gonna saves a lot of monies on gas which is now $5 a gallon :faint: Oh and Lucian has a heavy traffic mode ... he wont drives for me ... yet ... but he can keep mooving in stop 'n goes traffic which is kinda nice when I'm stuck in the hillz like last nights post kale return :fist:
Anywho he does has an autonomous driving mode BUT it's not turned on in the US but is in the UK ... Apparently 1 it's not illegal in the US I just need to hack the operating system and :bump: a few thangs 8)
"Rosalyn Carter has passed away, and she was a lovely lady. She lived a full, rich life full of service. :candle: "
:sigh: yeah I rather liked her and Jimmy ... he screwed up Hong Kong but they were both ALWAYS sincerely trying to help others and you gotta respect that :yes:

Yeah 'disintegrated' isn't a doog thang in general :therethere: The doog news is it's prolly not as bad as it looks :nono: espeeshully iffen he isn't talking fusions, replacement parts or anythin :nono:
K2 might also be a doog choice but it's the result of chronic inflammation and not just osteoporosis so K2 would help rebuild but first she needz the flames put out and not just the nerves turned off :nono: :secret: FYI: anythin ending with itis means inflamed like arthritis :oz:
"As for N.O. .... I know. :sigh: But I think I told you already that Mom gave me the spirulina she bought. "
No but I'd :egg: pect as much :yes: ... the thang is NO woulda been a helpful "treatment" though not a cure :nono: Thang is iffen you noes what she eats and how muches PLUS measured the effective duration with the test strips you can always bring her doof that she likes but is doog for her once or twice a week. Thangs like vinegar coleslaw :thumbs: mustard greens, sweet :tater: s and or their greens all have anti inflammatory effects as well as NO :bump: ing :yes:
Personally I'd make her some doog curry ... Indian or Japanese her preference :yes: ... with sweet :tater: s and a side of NO vegetation atleast once a week 'cuz the NO and curcumin :bump: the :campfire: out :oz:
Then with additional K2 youse is slowing down and or :bump: ing up the bone strength :flex: 'cuz what she doesn't want is a vertebral fracture :sofa:
FYI: K2 :bump: s along with high dose vitamin D is effective for osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis as well as generic osteoperosis :whistle: Oh and osteoperosis spongebobafies while an itis wears out the edges of thangs so itis is still betterer :angel:
As for that Amazon link (https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-16x650nm-Wavelengths-Near-Infrared-Relaxation/dp/B0C3CCKWLD/) ... it's "fine" but overpriced. The seller is giving the thang away to Vine participants in order to "legally" :bump: the rating which means yo can no longer trust it.
That said it's probably fine ... I would look a little more carefully at the power :electrocute: 'cuz it "looks" like they are just 5mW red LEDs which is ok just way WAY overpriced and perhaps four 200mW infrared lasers :dunno: That would be fine BUT the safety glasses are only red blockers and 200mW infrared lasers would be great :thumbs: but not that safe :whistle: they might also just be infrared LEDs and 5 infrared LEDs would be only 1W and you can get much higher flux devices much cheaper AND much smaller.

In addition to ouput power claims you should also look at their input :electrocute: supply ... iffen their claimed output is more than the input then it's just marketing :unthumbs:
Here's the thang ... NO is doog ffuts :yes: and as long as you are not in a condition that causes massive amounts ina bad way ... hence the reason you gotted them test strips ... NO will reduce inflammation and all so increase circulation which is generally a doog thang :yes: Thangs like curcumin :bump: the effect via kemikillz means :wub: and pHotobiomodulation :bump: :bump: s even more via mitochondrial and other pathways :flex:
They ALL help :yes: then throw in some :cow: for a cure :headbang: :wwsd:
On the plus side he's gonna saves a lot of monies on gas which is now $5 a gallon :faint: Oh and Lucian has a heavy traffic mode ... he wont drives for me ... yet ... but he can keep mooving in stop 'n goes traffic which is kinda nice when I'm stuck in the hillz like last nights post kale return :fist:
Anywho he does has an autonomous driving mode BUT it's not turned on in the US but is in the UK ... Apparently 1 it's not illegal in the US I just need to hack the operating system and :bump: a few thangs 8)
"Rosalyn Carter has passed away, and she was a lovely lady. She lived a full, rich life full of service. :candle: "
:sigh: yeah I rather liked her and Jimmy ... he screwed up Hong Kong but they were both ALWAYS sincerely trying to help others and you gotta respect that :yes:
:vibes: :gheart: :candle: :gheart: :sebiv:
"The doctor (I met him this time) said that her first lumbar vertebra is toast (my word). I think he actually used the word 'disintegrated'. :sigh: And the second one is 50% disintegrated & sitting right on top of the first. The third one is also near 50% gone but there is a teensy bit of space between it & the second one. He said, "I could get a needle between them if I absolutely had to but I'd rather not."."
Yeah 'disintegrated' isn't a doog thang in general :therethere: The doog news is it's prolly not as bad as it looks :nono: espeeshully iffen he isn't talking fusions, replacement parts or anythin :nono:
K2 might also be a doog choice but it's the result of chronic inflammation and not just osteoporosis so K2 would help rebuild but first she needz the flames put out and not just the nerves turned off :nono: :secret: FYI: anythin ending with itis means inflamed like arthritis :oz:
"As for N.O. .... I know. :sigh: But I think I told you already that Mom gave me the spirulina she bought. "
No but I'd :egg: pect as much :yes: ... the thang is NO woulda been a helpful "treatment" though not a cure :nono: Thang is iffen you noes what she eats and how muches PLUS measured the effective duration with the test strips you can always bring her doof that she likes but is doog for her once or twice a week. Thangs like vinegar coleslaw :thumbs: mustard greens, sweet :tater: s and or their greens all have anti inflammatory effects as well as NO :bump: ing :yes:
Personally I'd make her some doog curry ... Indian or Japanese her preference :yes: ... with sweet :tater: s and a side of NO vegetation atleast once a week 'cuz the NO and curcumin :bump: the :campfire: out :oz:
Then with additional K2 youse is slowing down and or :bump: ing up the bone strength :flex: 'cuz what she doesn't want is a vertebral fracture :sofa:
FYI: K2 :bump: s along with high dose vitamin D is effective for osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis as well as generic osteoperosis :whistle: Oh and osteoperosis spongebobafies while an itis wears out the edges of thangs so itis is still betterer :angel:
As for that Amazon link (https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-16x650nm-Wavelengths-Near-Infrared-Relaxation/dp/B0C3CCKWLD/) ... it's "fine" but overpriced. The seller is giving the thang away to Vine participants in order to "legally" :bump: the rating which means yo can no longer trust it.
That said it's probably fine ... I would look a little more carefully at the power :electrocute: 'cuz it "looks" like they are just 5mW red LEDs which is ok just way WAY overpriced and perhaps four 200mW infrared lasers :dunno: That would be fine BUT the safety glasses are only red blockers and 200mW infrared lasers would be great :thumbs: but not that safe :whistle: they might also just be infrared LEDs and 5 infrared LEDs would be only 1W and you can get much higher flux devices much cheaper AND much smaller.

J's room now gutlos :check:
"She does believe in light therapy tho (cuz of her chiropractors, not becuz of me. :chuckle: ) & has our bulb right now. She said it really helps with the pain. "
Oh that's fine :yes: beleeb or not beleeb doesn't change the psience :nono: It's like with :cs: when I give it to someone and it werks they BELEEBz :hail: :cleanse: but when it's not oblivious that sumthin werked or they just didn't use it correctly then it's easy not to beleeb :nono: but the sighence is the same :sigh:
Anywho I'm purty sure that was an ABI bulb like this link (https://amzn.to/3R9GbqG) <= Amazon link ... they is doog and are the best bang for the $$$ ... they claim the power is 54W aka 18 LEDS 3W each BUT they are actually only 35W as in 2W each and while that sucks it's still much better than other bulbs. Anywho iffen the thang werks for durtmomma make sure any new ffuts is atleast as powerful :yes:
Emsculpt NEO ... kinda hand to take a quick scan of the research and while it does werk it's really just a combination of two modalities RF fat melter and an EMS system put together and turned to 11 in order to prove they werk.
That said the Emsculpt is just a TENS unit set to a lower frequency and greater intensity aka it's just an EMS aka :electrocute: muskle stimulator ... they do werk AND I was thinking of getting a new one this black munday cyber sale thang :yes: just not for muskles :flex: :nono:
Anywho the RF fat melting is a thang and has the advantage of :buttkick: ing the fat cell :thumbs: but you can does the same thang with a 3MHz ultra sound system that sellz for ~$150 add on a $30 EMS and you "could" do the whole thang at home for a lot less :yes: The reason people don't is it freaken hurts and the melted fat is only the top cellulite level fat NOT the deep visceral fat and the muskles developed are fer realz just not what people thinxz :nono:
Supposedly a 30 min session with an Emsculpt is the equivalent of 20,000 situps :yes: and it is :yes: because that's how many times the abdominal muskles are :electrocute: in 30 min. It's literally like a person doesing that many situps only very very small crunches that werk out a small portion of the muskle.
Imagine being forced to does that many situps ... it hurts AND the muskles are not full length contractions so you NEED to does more as ou recover to flushout them muskles :flex:
Anywho, iffen you has enough money and some nominal fitnes capability then perchance it's worth it :dunno: But durtmomma would only see the outer {10mm} half inch or so fat reduction then hate the afterburn of her abdominal muskles :horror:
I say pass and buy a stoopid ab EMS machine they are cheap enough she can try it and then noes how horrible a machine that makes yer abs contract 4 timez harder would be :sofa:
Now a 3MHz ultra sound thingy that's a doog buy :yes: Use it to melt that top 10mm of fat, find out why not many people does it themselves :secret: it burns ... BUT now you has a useful health device :thumbs: not for fat reduction :nono: ok perchance :buttkick: ing celulite ... but it's useful for chronic pain AND muskle AND skeletal issues ... like J's shoulder or RA :whistle:
"All is calm here. For now. I gotta :run: to does cooking and cleaning stuffs. :bye: "
I cannot beleebz you jinxed it just like that :woe:
"B has my sympathies. I think I mentioned I despise plumbing. :yucky: "
Ya noes :egg: cept for the cutting into walls and floors I rather likes plumbing ffuts there's a lot of play time in messing with the fittings :bliss: of course I subscribe to the plumb and plumber diy home repair model (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif)

Yeah, I liked the Carters. Jimmy was the very first vote I ever casted, so I'm a bit nostalgic about them. :rainbow:
So I'm thinkin' Ethiopian for dinner tonight. Atakilt Wat with Injera. Although the Injera is gonna be tricky cuz teff flour isn't a thang in this here parts. So maybe another flatbread sorta. :hmm2: We shall see.
We didn't really get our wintery mix. Just some brief cold rain. It's gonna hover in thr 40's-50's for the week. Maybe a scattering of rain showers but nothing apocalyptic.

Yeah, the plumbing thingy took about 6 hours but we're waterfull now! :happydance:
Sig... Mom & curry... :hysterical: :no:
As of now anyway, she won't let me make or give her any food at all. She thinks I'm too busy & doesn't want to burden me....ever. It's the way of our people. :shera: And when I have just carried soup or whatever I see it in her fridge a week later. :chuckle:
She even wanted to nix the cranberry jello stuff so I didn't hafta come over (to grind oranges, cranberry & walnuts) but I'm gonna go & do it anyway. :yes:
Seriously, she acts almost offended if I try to cook for her. She's apposta cook for me, she thinks.
To clarify the earlier memos...she eats 'good' when she's home, 'bad' when she eats out, which is fairly frequent but will be less so in winter.
And beleeb or not beleeb may not change the psyence but it sure can change the effect. :yes:
Ever hear of placebo effect? :wedgie: As if I don't noes what an itis is. :woe:
And the tech girl said the emsculpt thingy does NOT make you sore. Something about lactic acid... I honestly don't recall what she said becuz I already knew Mom was not gonna spring for it....nor make the weekly trips. It's bothering Mom that I've taken a day a week to drive her. She says she can drive herself but Monday it poured on the way home, visibility sucked, & I was so so thankful she was not driving. :yes: She's not used to driving in any amount of traffic any more.
Thanks for the light links...I will talk to her. She really wants a wand type (like they have at the chiropractor's office :roll: ) but for the price she might give in.
Thanksgiving always makes me think of Zanna. :candle: :wub: 18 years ago on Thanksgiving Day is when we first connected. :vibes:

"Sig... Mom & curry... :hysterical: :no: "
Just don't sez it's a "curry" say it's Pan's Ethiopian WhatchaKallzit :yes: Basically cabbage and :tater: curry :wiggle:
"And when I have just carried soup or whatever I see it in her fridge a week later. :chuckle: "
Yeah but iffen ya makes sumthin she actually wants to eat then maybe :yes: ... just sayin :whistle:
"To clarify the earlier memos...she eats 'good' when she's home, 'bad' when she eats out, which is fairly frequent but will be less so in winter."
K srsly yer concept of doog and bad is based on yer own diet :horror: and beleebz of what she should be eating. The main idea is to reduce the inflammatory response of her body to the doof she eats. Proffering alternative doof options is one way, altering doof recipes is another even adding supplements is an option :yes:
For instance iffen you suspect durtmomma's bp would be helped with an increase of Potassium and Magnesium ... :secret: most hypertensive persons are helped by these ... supplementation is an option ... I would of course use gummy supplements 'cuz they is basically candy :angel:
Thang is iffen Potassium and Magnesium does help her bp then they would also be helping her in other ways :yes:
The point is ebery little thang that helps ... HELPs :yes:
Anyways Apparently 1 I have no clue if her health is great or dismal or anythin based on yer memo's :buttkick: The only info I has to werk with is she's on statins, BP med, metformin and that's it along with her A1c which is creeping up.
Perchance she needz no intervention or helps of any kind :flex: but I'm proactive and need more minions to test on (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) and iffen nuthin else those meds are suggestive of metabolic syndrome so her A1c would put her at the tipping point :luna:
All I'm saying and trying to does is tip her back the other way a little :wiggle:
"And the tech girl said the emsculpt thingy does NOT make you sore."
Yeah they is lying OR they are not leaving the thang on long enough or intense enough to does much. Srsly why would you beleebz her anyway ... she's telling you a thang that :electrocute: s yer muskles wont make you sore but will magically build the muskle up :flex: That makes zero sensicalz :roll: Also didja does ANY research or even watch a youtube video :roll: being sore is kinda the point where ya noes ya gotted enough :vibes: and :electrocute: Though they just sez "you can feelz the burn" :horror:
As for the lights iffen her chiro or doktor uses sumthin that she sez werks find out what the output is and git sumthin similar or rely on a placebo or nocebo effect instead of psyantz :matt:
Thang is both of those I was actually testing for ease of use ... the bulby ones are better/more compact BUT more difficult to use at specific locations 'cuz they is too heavy and iffen ya use a nermal socket they'll overheat unless they has air flow. Those two are what I thunked would werk well for spot treatments as well as larger body bits :oz:
"Thanksgiving always makes me think of Zanna. :candle: :wub: 18 years ago on Thanksgiving Day is when we first connected. :vibes: "
Sumthin about a poll as I recall :scratch: :wheee:
:sparkle: :zanna: :sparkle:
"We didn't really get our wintery mix. Just some brief cold rain. ..."
:therethere: I'm sure you'll git it eventually :yes: you so lucky :hmm: here it's still in the balmy 60's :hippy: and the river in the atmosphere apparently tapped out :gaah: We gets no weather changes for atleast the next 7 :daisy: :sigh:
Usually by now I'd atleast thinxz about putting up the solar curtains ... wurst of all I got my new high end carbon heater coming in next week AND it's too freaken warmz :gaah:

So. Today is :shiver: It may reach a high of 38F. Tonight it'll go into the upper 20's. That's how it usually works. Much colder after Thanksgiving holiday.
Black Friday, as in capitalistic frenzy, is today. I stay home. Not my cup of tea. :nonono: :ladybug: has to work it though. :uhoh: She shall report the mood of the crowd this evening.

Remember the Skinwalker Ranch series that used that high end LIDAR to image portals well that's too pricey and a mono tasker tool so I came up with plan B and C :whistle:
LIDAR is just a thang using pulsed laser light to determine distance in a 3D volume well heck laser distance meters do that in 2D so I kinda gotted one that allows for measuring while mooving. Ideally I would use a little step motor to pan the thang back and forth over a small range and has a computer reading the distance data to determine any anomalies which isn't too hard :ura: now I just need to find a portal to test it on :sigh: The ranch guys scanned many miles from a helicopter I don't think hanging my laser distance measurer on a drone is quite doog enough :drama:
Hence Plan C :yes: or should I sez Plan SeeStar :rimshot: ...srsly I pre-ordered an S50 smate telescope :ashamed: Partially 'cuz I was thunking of the episode where the high end telescopes all glitched when pointing through the anomaly BUT also 'cuz astrophotography uses precision layered longtime :egg: sposures ... it's how ya seez what is nigh invisible 8) Plus the S50 comes with the solar filter and I'm gearing up for the 2024 eclipsical :cheer:
After yesterdaze meal I finally unerstanz the pHraze "the :pie: s the limit" :faint: ... we did Chinese doof but dad's thang is :pie: so we had many :eip: neber can has too many but I don't amemerz much after #4 :eip: :faint:
T'was a doog doof coma day :ura: :cheer:
There was also Kale but that was so I wouldn't has to come back today for Kale night :nono:
I is FREE :bliss: or ya noes relatively cheap :rimshot:
Black Friday is mostly replaced by Cyber Monday and online sales in my neck of the woods but I noes there are still people out there going for those one shot power deals :yes: I'm sezing the stores will do well ... atleast better than afores but not many people fighting others to buy cheap :carp: which I thinxz is a plus :thumbs:
Atleast :ladybug: has a doog boj and it wont be replaced by AI robots anytime soon :nono: so I'm betting she'll has a busy but not terrible day :angel:
Ooooh yer getting the band back together (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/ymca.gif) has nuf :wave: and I hope you enjoy yer foul faux fowel :turkey: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif)

Yeah you be lookin' for your own private portal so's you can does mayhem in another dimension right? :bsl: So, iffin ya doesn't decide to go through the portal when ya find one, report yer experience. :thumbs:
:pie: are made, stuffs on the plan. We shall see. I shall let you know iffin the roast is worthy.
I'm good. I got this nagging pain in my mid-back though. It's been hanging around for about since the end of the covid stuffs. About at the level of T-7/8. I have no idea how or why. :dunno: I keep waiting for it to go away. Still working on taste/smell. Fleeting moments of it. My energy levels are still kinda borked. :gaah:
:ladybug: came home very tired. It seems it wasn't as "big" this year though. Gosh I hope that madness fades away. I'd rather do the cyber Monday. It's a lot less chaotic.
Off to bed. It's an early rise and lots of good things to do tomorrow. :happydance:

Ok so where were we?
:popcorn:
Oh yeah... about to shower & go put up Mom's Christmas tree. :sparkle: :rofl:
So...vacay is over & :b: spent the entire week being sick. :chuckle: He's axshully ok...we both had a bit o' cold.
I took lotsa cs and elderberry and drank immune boosting teas.
He took every otc cold/cough med he could find.
I was better in 2-3 days.
He's still coughing over a week later. :rofl:
But did he learn? :sigh:
I highly doubt it. :spitcoffee:
He axshully fussed at me about NOT taking the Alka Seltzer Plus but I said I was fine & didn't need anything. I just doubled down on the :cs: :laugh: I tried esplaining (for the 500th time) that my approach is to build up the immune system & let the body does it's thing. I also re-esplained that the cold meds just mask the symptoms but don't do anything to truly heal you and if anything, they can axshully prolong an illness by suppressing it...
Anyway... he's back at work. It was a busy week and a productive week nonetheless. :wiggle:
:horn: ENERGIES!!! :fullmoon: Exact at 4:15AM this morning... :elvis: time, of course.
Hmmm. :rofl:

I was really hoping there'd be a Happy Pandora :book: waiting here recounting the joys and celebratory activities of her Faux :turkey: Day git together :choir:
:darn:
Durtmomma's one of them early :xmastree: putter upperz :happydance: I thinxz the earliest we eber did was 10 daze 'cuz the thang is a fire hazard :campfire: ... but smellz real nice afores bursting into flame (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)
We mostly went with homemade wreaths and garlands ... of course that "we" was ME :gaah: trimming the outside :treehug: then strippig the foilage and winding them together :drama:
I'm the only one in the fambily that can handle the :shiver: sub 60's :hippy: weather :flex: or atleast that was the :egg: scuse to make me goes does it :hmm:
"But did he learn? :sigh:
I highly doubt it. :spitcoffee: "
Oh did youse all go git covid 'n flu :bump: :bump: (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) afores 'cuz that woulda :bean: the smate thang :yes:
Yeah so ober the counter :carp: is for symptom relief not :blob: or :mushrooms: :buttkick: ing :nono:
Now for the nuf ffuts ... :muaha: ... those "immune" boosting teas fall into generally 3 classes 1) :bump: vit.C 2) :bump: Zinc and 3) :bump: antioxidants AND elderberry has ALL 3 though Zinc is on the lower end of useful :oz:
In the real whurled you really cannot "Boost" your immune system ... it generally improves {or not} slooowly BUT you can give yer body the nutrients it uses when fighting :blob: s and :mushrooms: espeeshully the ones that are in short supply. For instance Zinc only helps iffen yer body doesn't has enough to fully arm :guns: all of the immune functions it wants to send. Vitamin C too but that's mostly because you need more ascorbic acid when sick and being water flushable it goes away quick :bye: unless constantly replenished :flex:
CS is ALWAYS a doog choice :yes: but generally cannot destroy eberythang itself unless it can be in contact with whatever so for colds or flus I think of it like floating sea mines in yer body waiting for :blob: or :mushrooms: to come in contact and :boom:
Anywho srsly take a look at yer "immune boosting" teas and what they actually does and how :oz:
That said you shoulda atleast given B a few mls of that Zinc sulfate you ordered :yes: and with the :cs: but not together :nono: those woulda :bump: ed immune functions :yes: while the vit.C woulda helped ifhen there was a shortage and the antioxidants well that's to soak up the RoS from the heightened NRGeez expenditure from the fever and what nots :oz:
:yawn: :coffee:
Yeah I gots nuthin :sigh: the minions are mostly goofing off cyber mundazing :fist: but dang there's nuthin doog on sale :gaah: I cleverly made a speeshul list just for Black Friday and Cyber Munday and nuthin I wants is on sale :gaah:
In other newses a 69°F :sun: ny day :heat: which is way WAY too warmz :horror:
On the plus side Dad will prolly be happy DeGardening ... he still has a surprisingly large number of :tomatoe: s and cucumbers :woe: The worst part is they are really really doog so he doesn't want to just durt them. But there are just sooo many different varieties of siguie brand quick pickles for kale night :horror: Also I'm purty sure the neighbors don't want/need anymorez :whistle:

My 'immune building' teas are all of the antioxidant variety....
I has Bigelow echinacea, lemongrass, rosehips, elderflower
and grapeseed extract with a whole lotta herbs (Yogi, green tea super antioxidant)
and pukka elderberry & echinacea. :yes:
Personally I don't care what's in them except for whether I like it or not and especially whether it feels right or not. :nana:
I gets whatever he gots at Tommy's for 59 cents a banged up box. :cheer: Sometimes they go in the trash after just one cup. :chuckle:
And yes, I gave him zinc. In the form of :cow: and :turkey: and even tuna. :faint: He was craving it all & I agreed that his body needed the boost. :yes:
I'm feeling that it's time for him to add tuna & maybe even chicken a couple times a week. :cow: less frequently.
K...I has a total :woo: theory that youse can make fun of...
It crossed my mind that B's toof erosion may go hand-in-hand with the erosion or plaque in his arteries. :yes:
It is confirmed (right?) that plaque on teef correlates with arterial plaque. So iffin he went into 'rapid de-plaquezation' with the initial dietary strictness then maybe his teef began de-plaquing (the hygenist was stunned that he had no plaque after not having been for over 2 years) but when the plaque was gone the process continued with de-enamelling.
Hmmm. :scratch:
Seems to me that could be another (no-verifiable :p ) clue to the condition of his arteries. :yes:
Or not.
:bsl:
So I ordered Mom the one light thingy & it's packed & ready to return. :sigh:
I only :sigh: cuz I shoulda listened to my intuition instead of our Lab Rat :sigster:
It was 'too big', 'too clunky', wouldn't sit on the arm of her chair & most importantly, the remote absolutely would not sync.
The remote was too complicated for her anyway.
I ordered a LifePro Torchlight https://lifeprofitness.com/products/lumicure-torchlight
(except cheaper from Amazon) It has rechargeable batteries and a charger, 'real' glasses, a simple on/off switch with auto shutoff, and clear & helpful instructions for use. :righton:
She can use it in her recliner or take it on her bus trips (She's headed to St Augustine in March)
But as proof that her belief matters most of all...
She said the light she borrowed "really did help" and when I picked it up I realized that I'd given her the wrong light! :woe:
All she had was a heat lamp. :hysterical:
Mom's tree is fake. :yes: And it always goes up right after Thanksgiving....typically on Friday after but I had Black Fridaying to does.
Jacki is asking Santa for a smate TV for her room. She (& we) is counting on the fiberoptic internets & she wants a TV with a Youtube & Pandora (minimum) built in.

"My 'immune building' teas are all of the antioxidant variety...."
Um well ... mostly ... maybe :yes: both :rose: hips and lemongrass are vitamin C types and ya noes that acidic note :choir: in yer hibiscus :hula: tea that's also vit.C :yes:
Yer feelz :vibes: lead you slooowly to oxidative stress reducing doof and dranks :yes:
"And yes, I gave him zinc. In the form of :cow: and :turkey: and even tuna. :faint: He was craving it all & I agreed that his body needed the boost. :yes: "
Um yeah :roll: ... next time go with the liquid sublingually or a zinc lozenge that way his body will git the zinc where he needs it between 2 and 3 days faster :roll:
OR ... I noes :yes: ... use the zinc sulfate as a taste test indicator of general body zinc levels THEN take as necessary ... ya noes when he's not sick :cs:
"I'm feeling that it's time for him to add tuna & maybe even chicken a couple times a week. :cow: less frequently. "
Well it is yer body ... I mean his or yers to do what you want with it I guess :whistle: ... anywho I would strongly advise waiting for confirmation of healed status afores trailblazing off the Dr.E path. His diet is not for optimal health :nono: it's to :egg: tend life. Think of it like a diabetic who gets insulin then feelz great :flex: ... this doesn't mean he's cured just not dying any faster that then rest of youse ... yeah that's right I is speeshul 8)
"It crossed my mind that B's toof erosion may go hand-in-hand with the erosion or plaque in his arteries. :yes: "
WOW srsly :yes: all I can say is WOW ... oh wait there's also this ... :horn: NO :buttkick: :wall:
:woe: srsly it's like you just take wurdz and use yer :woo: powers :vibes: to randomly assign new meanings :hysterical:
"It is confirmed (right?) that plaque on teef correlates with arterial plaque."
Iffen ya mean in the same way that a plaque on yer bedroom wall correlates to oral plaque and thus to arterial plaque then Yes :yes: elsewise not so muches :nono: :roar:
"It was 'too big', 'too clunky', wouldn't sit on the arm of her chair & most importantly, the remote absolutely would not sync.
The remote was too complicated for her anyway."
Um yeah :roll: ... those were just the two smallest that I had which still put out useful levels of light :vibes:
"(except cheaper from Amazon) It has rechargeable batteries and a charger, 'real' glasses, a simple on/off switch with auto shutoff, and clear & helpful instructions for use. :righton: "
:woe: "Irradiance 25–30 mW/cm2"
At that output you wouldn't need any glasses :nono: in fact the only thang it would be doog for is photo eye therapy :yes: Um it's a flashlight with the minimum therapeutic output why would you need 'helpful' instructions :scratch:
Um did you do "any" research? You can git a high powered Red Laser Pointer (https://amzn.to/46QGhIJ) <= Amazon Link ... that puts out more than 100mW and it's only $14 :angel: You could even use one of the included diffraction gratings to spread it out :oz:
"I only :sigh: cuz I shoulda listened to my intuition instead of our Lab Rat :sigster: "
I only point out what werks and what I has played with iffen yer looking for placebo/nocebo then yes by all means goes with yer intuition :therethere:
Oh and I only eber tried the remote once 'cuz it's kinda stoopid, the furthest distance that the intensity would be effective is basically less than 1m and more like 1 to 2 feetz and I can reach the on/off switch at that distance :roll: also the timer is silly and annoying and there's no reason to dim the thang so I only use the on/off switch. That said it's a doog solid device :thumbs: of course YMMV :flyball:
Um well ... mostly ... maybe :yes: both :rose: hips and lemongrass are vitamin C types and ya noes that acidic note :choir: in yer hibiscus :hula: tea that's also vit.C :yes:

OR ... I noes :yes: ... use the zinc sulfate as a taste test indicator of general body zinc levels THEN take as necessary ... ya noes when he's not sick :cs:
"I'm feeling that it's time for him to add tuna & maybe even chicken a couple times a week. :cow: less frequently. "
Well it is yer body ... I mean his or yers to do what you want with it I guess :whistle: ... anywho I would strongly advise waiting for confirmation of healed status afores trailblazing off the Dr.E path. His diet is not for optimal health :nono: it's to :egg: tend life. Think of it like a diabetic who gets insulin then feelz great :flex: ... this doesn't mean he's cured just not dying any faster that then rest of youse ... yeah that's right I is speeshul 8)

"It was 'too big', 'too clunky', wouldn't sit on the arm of her chair & most importantly, the remote absolutely would not sync.
The remote was too complicated for her anyway."
Um yeah :roll: ... those were just the two smallest that I had which still put out useful levels of light :vibes:
"(except cheaper from Amazon) It has rechargeable batteries and a charger, 'real' glasses, a simple on/off switch with auto shutoff, and clear & helpful instructions for use. :righton: "
:woe: "Irradiance 25–30 mW/cm2"
At that output you wouldn't need any glasses :nono: in fact the only thang it would be doog for is photo eye therapy :yes: Um it's a flashlight with the minimum therapeutic output why would you need 'helpful' instructions :scratch:
Um did you do "any" research? You can git a high powered Red Laser Pointer (https://amzn.to/46QGhIJ) <= Amazon Link ... that puts out more than 100mW and it's only $14 :angel: You could even use one of the included diffraction gratings to spread it out :oz:

I only point out what werks and what I has played with iffen yer looking for placebo/nocebo then yes by all means goes with yer intuition :therethere:
Oh and I only eber tried the remote once 'cuz it's kinda stoopid, the furthest distance that the intensity would be effective is basically less than 1m and more like 1 to 2 feetz and I can reach the on/off switch at that distance :roll: also the timer is silly and annoying and there's no reason to dim the thang so I only use the on/off switch. That said it's a doog solid device :thumbs: of course YMMV :flyball:

K that asplains it :buttkick:
I was wondering why on :earth: I would recommend those devices for durtmomma's back :scratch:
It turns out I didn't :gaah: I was asplaining what the problems were with that hunert and fiddy dollar :carp: handheld light the two thangs I showed were just the higher power more useful ffuts that I was already looking at :buttkick: Also I'd swear you said she wanted a wand type anyways :dunno:
Also yer memos are confusing :scratch: I'm purty sure at one point she said the light therapy from her chiropractor was {some form of ineffective or perchance a waste :scratch: } ... then she believes in the ffuts :roll: ... now it's the :carp: infrared doof warming bulb :roll:
Does she use a wand type light device on her back? 'cuz that sounds really hard :scratch:
Also proper photobiomodulation eye protection is "blackout" type glasses. While tanning glasses are generally considered safe for LED light therapy once you go over 100mW for laser or 3W for single LEDs you kinda should be using blackout glasses or atleast really REALLY noes what you are doesing :yes:
Speaking of which are you sure any of those thangs are really FDA approved? :scratch: here's the Link (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/devicesatfda/index.cfm) for FDA approved devices.
I suspect the "FDA Approved" is marketing and refers to the therapy type and perhaps flux levels 'cuz very few devices can meat FDA standards AND turn a profit on Amazon ... just sayin.
The main reason I mention this is this Red Light Therapy Device (https://amzn.to/3uA8x4T) <= Amazon Link ... is one that I was considering and it's only $35 but the output is not clear. Plus they make use of Japanese "bead" lights which are actually very nice :thumbs: but the construction is obliviously Chinese and it looks like they use a spacer with 18650 batteries where a 26650 should be. In short I thinxz this might be a high end Japanese device manufactured by China for a Japanese company and now the chinese manufacturer is retrofitting the device and selling them cheaper.
In other wurdz this "could" be an :egg: cellent value knockoff :thumbs: Kind of like my HTPC ... it's a quad-core i7 machine being sold as a router :egg: stender and no operating system :yesss: Speaking of which a nice fanless micro-PC for any TV and you save oodles of monies AND git more options :angel:
Yeah yea I noes :blah: :blah: those IoT integrated teeveez are more conveeeenient :whatever: they are still network security black holes as far as I'm concerned :hmm:

I have never said that Mom didn't like the light therapy. I'm the one who thunk it a waste of money.
Fiddy bucks a pop. And she went many many times. 3x a week for awhile. :sigh:
I personally think her chiropractor is all about monies. They also sold her the TENS unit that I figger she coulda got cheaper elsewhere. And some stoopy high priced supplements. And she had multiple accupuncture sessions through them (performed by the one chiropractor who "took a few classes". :woe:
Surely they coulda seen on the xrays that all their interventions were futile. :sigh:
I dunno. I just get frustrated cuz I see so many peoples who jump at the chance to take monies from the "sweet old widow lady". :sigh:
And this:
anywho I would strongly advise waiting for confirmation of healed status afores trailblazing off the Dr.E path. His diet is not for optimal health :nono: it's to :egg: tend life.
Firstly, I am of the solid belief that we do not "extend life" but we can vastly improve the quality of said life while one is alive. :yes:
I believe that our final checkout point is set & that nothing short of suicide can alter that.
Secondly, there ain't ever gonna be ANY confirmation of healed status. :rofl: Never. K? :therethere:
Symptoms are the most confirming or non-confirming thing we has. :yes:
Thirdly, as you have often pointed out (& I agree) some people are just not able to sustain on a vegan or WFPBNO diet.
I can. :wiggle: I can live this way quite easily & healthfully tho a wee bit of dairy sometimes feels 'right'.
But B cannot.
It's not about the meat any more for him. :nonono: It's about the junk doof....garbage...ultra-processed :carp: ...
the ffuts he grew up on & still to this day craves. :sigh: Packaged, boxed, full of sodium, sugar, & godknowswhatelse.
If he can leave out the cookies, chips, crackers, etc, it will keep him in gooder shape. I don't bring any of that into the house any more but first thing he does at Mom's house is head to the cookie jar, then the candy bowl, then to the pantry for chips or whatever else she may have. Mom doesn't eat all that ffuts she just keeps it on hand for guests. :sigh: I told ya, it's the way of our people. Feeding others is paramount.
Point is... I'd rather him be satisfied with a small amount of fish or chicken than have him prowling, looking for junk cuz he's 'hungry'.
Oh & today is Mom's procedure day.
She's already made herself some chicken soup for afterwards. :chuckle: Told ya she won't let me cook for her. :no:

Was it you? Or someone else? Who 'prophesized' another pandemic efore the first one even 'ended'? :sigh:
You knows...we never had a pandemic here. :nonono: Nothing closed, restaurants carried on (except the Asian ones...tho some got creative & made take-out windows :chuckle: ) and very few masks. And those who died...well, they died from pneumonia. :yes:
Which is technically prolly correct in most cases but still they denied covid.
So I highly doubt we will has another pandemic either. :crazy:
S'ok. This is why we built our sanctuary. :namaste: :asiel:
Mom's fiddy dollah light therapy treatments were about 3 minutes long. She said they had a wand & the wand-er :chuckle: would continuously move it back & forth over her lower back. But she was also on a heated table with a lowly lighted room with soft music and aromatherapy of some kind (she didn't know the scent). :chuckle:
Anyway... I'm betting she will like her new toy. And take it on her bus trips & share it with her busmates. :rofl:
So yesterday was doog. :yes: She said it was a bit more than she'd anticipated & the doctor said there was "considerably more damage" to the spine than he'd seen on the MRI. But he still thinks he can help her. :yes: He wants to see her back in 2 weeks rather than the usual month afterwards & he says he has "other tricks up his sleeve" if she's still in pain. :yes:
I'm betting she will respond. In my best Yoda voice...the placebo effect is strong in this one. :yes: 8)
She can't take any nsaids for 2 weeks due to the prp tho. :eek:
Speaking of MRIs...my beautiful niece in Ohio, Mallory, just had one after some issues & they found a pituitary microadenoma. :sigh: I've read a bit & found it not as scary as it first sounds. Tho the surgical treatment through the nose sounds pretty :uhoh: but I'm gonna hope she doesn't need to goes that route.
It's always somethin...
:wiggle:
So yesterday the energies were a rockin & a rollin & I does not know why. :luna: :wtf:
Today I still feels it a bit, but not as much as yesterday.
Oh & not only had Mom made a giant pot of soup (a canner full) she had also gotten her heating pad & plugged it in by her chair, put an ice wrap in the freezer (but they said no ice due to the PRP), she had her pjs laid out & a comfy blanket ready for action.
I :spitcoffee: and :hail: at how well she was taking care of herself. :shera:
She did let me go to the mailbox for her. :woe: It's a good 100' away. :yes: She has a big front yard.

Yoda smiles knowingly cuz Zen Aunt is at Mom's house & just called & said she is up bopping around the house like she's Martha Stewart & whilst we were talking Mom climbed up on a dinging room chair to get something from an upper cabinet (she had her cabinets built to the ceiling... no wasted space), :woe:
I knew she was good this morning but hours later she's still going...
She says she has NO pain at all.
:happydance:
:spitcoffee:
And Matthew... :sigh: He had an ultrasound & just got the results & he has gallstones. :woe:
The infectious disease doc is still with him & she says it's possible, not very likely, but possible, that the salmonella has been hiding out in the gallbladder. He finished the latest round of antibiotics & within 3 days his fever was back to 101.
So she's ordered another stool sample & if the salmonella is still there she's gonna order MORE antibiotics. :sigh:
He also has a gastroenterologist appointment but the earliest he could get in is March! :gaah:

Wondering...with all the to do with the gallbladder, are they considering taking the thing out? It feels like that sucker might go hot on him in a quick sorta way, and that wouldn't be good. A cholecystectomy may solve it. Dang, he is waiting a long time for the gastro guy. That doesn't seem right given what's going on. :hmm2:

Oh the gallbladder being the cause is :egg: treley unlikely the sonography likely showed nuthin and most times you is told what iffen anythin during or immediately after. Mathew just now getting his results means there was nuthin oblivious so the results were sent to a radiologist who sed ... well there is this ... gallstones are common in 15% to 20% of peoples in the US and even more common in the less healthy :whistle:
Anywho gallstones are precipitated solid aggregates not generally associated with bacteria much less salmonella also iffen the gallbladder were chronically low level infected there'd be other symptoms and more likely liver issues which would show up as borked liver enzymes.

I'm betting on some type of intestinal -itis due to over carbing that became infected with salmonella from a bad burrito or some such. Thang is He/They/Someone should be really worried :uhoh:
As for the Chinese covid/pneumonia/etc. it's a tough call :hmm2: I've been watchin it since early October and thunked perchance a new pandemic BUT the Chinese covid vaccine was complete :carp: so it's possible this is going to be just another China thang but after 3 months now the Netherlands and Singapore have "pneumonia" that's not responding the way pneumonias are supposed to :sofa:
There's too many puzzle pieces missing ... it took too long to escape China to be real pandemic material BUT it's sumthin people should be awarez of :angel:
In other newses ...
The END of the :earth: CME should arrivetomorrow {Dec.1} :no:
Prolly not actually whurled ending BUT it is a "cannibal" CME meaning there was a slow one already coming our way then a second bigger faster one came right after and will gobble the first one up :turkey: AND then :earth: :boom: :horror:
Last time this magnitude hit the :earth: auroras could be seen as far away as Virginia :rainbow:
Anywho gallstones are precipitated solid aggregates not generally associated with bacteria much less salmonella also iffen the gallbladder were chronically low level infected there'd be other symptoms and more likely liver issues which would show up as borked liver enzymes.

Cannibal CME! :aaahhh:
Is that perchance why I have a driew headache this morning? :scratch:
So... somebody IS really worried & it's Zen Aunt. :sigh: But her hands are tied. It's her DIL & her husband that are driving the car. Matthew is a passenger. He son, (the dad) has very very little influence now that Matthew lives full-time with the others. I think I've mentioned that he's not a typical 22 year old. :nonono: He's never been diagnosed with anything but I know, beyond shadow of a doubt, that he's fully within the autistic spectrum. He's just different. And was bullied since kindergarten & protected by the adults that love him.
The reason for the GI wait is a lack of specialists in the area. :duh: It took me over 2 months to see an endocrinologist. The only way Dad could get into Vanderbilt was to go to the ER...the oncologists accepted NO patients other than what came to them in the hopsickle. It took B 3 months to see a dermatologist.
And the reason for the delay in reporting is that the Infectious Disease Lady is only in the office on Thursdays. He had the ultrasound on Tuesday, she reported results to him on Thursday.
And nothing will be done unless, like Pan says, it were to go :boom:
Gallbladder removal is the Number One surgery here. :sigh: They usta joke about our widdle (closed now) hopsickle specializing in galbladder removal. The joke was that you could enter with the flu, leave without your gallbladder. :sigh:
Just another ramification of the Southern infatuation with fatty pork barbeque & ribs & fried foods. :sigh:
And Matthew's diet has not changed at all since all this began. :sigh: If a doctor said "Eat this & don't eat that" he/they would be compliant but truth is most of the doctors & providers here are as unhealthy as he.
It's been 6 months now. Of living with chronic diarrhea & salmonella. :gaah:
It's a sad situation. :gheart:
As for Mom's back... I assumed he could see quite well when he was in there for the ablation. You noes...kinda the same way they saw B's arteries et al in the cath lab. :chuckle:
Surely he didn't go in blind? :scared:
K... I gotta shower & go grocering. :rofl: I've made 3 soups this week & we are out of celery, onions & carrots! :no:
Have a nuf day, y'all! :elfparty:

Um well since the storm has only just reached the :earth: roughly noon :elvis: time ... sure why not it's yer :woo: :yes:
:flyball:
"So... somebody IS really worried & it's Zen Aunt. :sigh: "
Yeah well she clearly has a better unerstandin of the seriousness BUT you'd think Mathew AND his doktorz would too. Yeah yeah autistic spectrum :whatever: so he's like Elon Musk ... that's not really the issue lots of people do not unerstanz the grabity of their situations 'cuz they assume the doktorz noes what they is doesing and they is not gonna panic until the doktor atleast seems worried. K that's a thang but why aren't his doktorz worried :gaah:
K so the main thang to take note of is unless there's a clear reason for developing sepsis like a wound or stoopid infected salivary gland :fist: There is almost always a chronic sumthin else :horror: ... ZA is worried it's cancer ... possible but unlikely since there are typically markers in the blood panels :suck: plus they just did an ultrasound and the best they could come up with is gallbladder :woe: so prolly no tumors :nono:
The thang is it's most likely some form of IBD ... like youse mentioned afores with crohn's but they woulda noticed blood in the stool which is kinda oblivious and far too easy to diagnose.
The disease speeshulist shoulda also :check: ed lymphnodes with the ultrasound 'cuz salmonella is a key player in Lymphadenitis and that would asplain the lingering and antibiotic hide & seek.
FYI: Lymphnodes are filled with :blob: killin :guns: macrophages BUT salmonella can hangout with them no problemo hence the Lymphadenitis angle :oz:
Anywho 4 months to see a gastro doktor after 6 months of low level sepsis is kinda wacked in that borked hopsickle kinda way :horror:
On the plus side ... presumably with the numerous blood tests they are atleast monitoring for organ damage 'cuz that's when septic shock is a thang in the :boom: category :sofa:

Oh in particular Sakurajima Daikon it's nermal daikon's ginormous and stout cousin ... it's also a little less fibrous and a touch sweeter and makes the bestest furofuki :thumbs: Apparently 1 it also has more nitric oxide doogness than any other daikon :oz:

"... My local Japanese market...
:spitcoffee: "
Yeah I so nufny :hysterical:
Srsly though Sakurajima Daikon is a reasonably common seed and is always touted as the BIGGiest radish in the whurled :faint: It's a pHarm crop in Japan but in the US it's too brittle to grow full FULL size so it's either borked into chunklets or harvested around the 5 pound mark ... most Daikon in asian markets are sold in the 3 to 5 pound range.
Anywho, these are some of the ones better growed in big pots or 5 gallon buckets filled with mostly sand :yes: They seem to noes where the others are and only git BIG when not too close to other daikonianz.
In any event you should really try growding some more interesting radishes 'cuz you can also harvest the greens and they appear to be nigh kale level in organo nitrates :angel: not to mention they is easy picklerz and a classic ingredient in all sorts of Chinese and Japanese cuisine :liplick:
"I do not :wish: for the popylation to goes with it. "
Actually I thinxz you are confusing it with asian and or chineses markets ... some of the best "Japanese Markets" are little mom & pop shacks where fambilys growd ffuts and sellz any :egg: tra on the street. In KalypHiorniaz it's harder so they tend to group together and show up at Farmer's Markets :angel:
"And here...our hot water tank went :boom: "
No doubt the canibalizing CME :vibes: :horror:
Um why does you need a plumber? :scratch: Srsly I've always done it myself even Dad's I pulled out and replaced :flex: Are :electrocute: heaters that different? :scratch:

Sometimes you quite dense for a genie :butt: :woe:
The popylational density :chuckle: Henry county TN has a population density of 57.3 people per square mile.
San Fran (yeah, I noes :roll: ... but for contrast) has 18,633 people per square mile. :scared:
So is the sakurajima daikon too big for a pot? :horror:
I does need more so I can makes yummy ramen broth. :yes: OH! And we have our first Vietnamese Pho restaurant in Jackson :cheer: 'cept from their online menu it seems they only has beef-based broth. :sigh: But still...one more baby step towards um...diversity? Not sure if that's the word but yeah, I think so. For long long time this area has been um...monolithic...yeah, that's the drow.
So just in the last year we has a new Mediterranean restaurant, a Ramen Bar, AND a Pho Cafe. :cheer:
In Jackson anyway. :chuckle:
And as for the hot water heater... :no: :bsl:
He was in the process of replacing the heating elements. He didn't know you had to drain it first & I was busy elsewhere.
So when he finally (it was 18 years old, corroded, stuck) got the old element loose & removed it...
:firehose: :boom: with water. :onoes: :umbrella:
He was fighting the rush of water & trying (he finally did it) to plug the hole (put element back in)... I ran out to the wellhouse to shut off the water... and the river ran out of the laundry room & into the kitchen, heading quickly towards our bedroom. :scared:
I grabbed towels to build a dam & then got to mopping.
It was intense for a few minutes. :frantic:
But besides that, he had already replaced a leaky inlet hose & as he was trying to drain it, the plastic knob was cracked & broke.
The entire thing seemed to be literally crumbling.
After the mess was cleaned & the tank was not draining I says, "Why don't you text Tolbert?" :therethere:
So we priced them at Lowe's ($600-700 plus 10% tax and 2 hours to get it & get home) & he texted the plumber who said, "Yes I can come now...I have one in stock...$900 total, including tax). He was here within 30 minutes, out in a couple hours (though a lot of that time was talking :chuckle: ) & I got to be the first one to shower! :cheer: :cheer:
And yes, :b: has replaced hot water heaters himself before. :yes: The last time being in Louisville.
But this one is in a 'closet' in a small laundry room, and even with ffutses cleared out it is still a tight space for a tall, gangly man.
But on the brightest side, my laundry room is sparkling :sparkle: . The stacked washer & dryer both gotted a real doog shower :rofl: and are now shiny. And the flood was cleaned up so quickly that no damage was done. :check:

I wants some but I do not want to pay $10 for a puny packet of seed due to shipping being more than the seeds. :chuckle:

Again... :woe:
I'm not confusing anything. :nonono: We have NO as in ZERO Chinese or Japanese or Any-ese markets.
Not here. Not in Louisville. Not in Northern Ohio. :nonono:
There are very very few Asian peoples in this part of the country. Sadly. :sigh:
And again I say (I don't know how I know but I just 'know' :p ) the Asian restaurants here are much less than authentic .
All the sauces are syrupy terriyaki-ish...vegetables are few & far between...and much of the offererings are southern fried. :sigh:
Our Mexican restaurants have all southern americanized as well. :gaah:
When I was in Phoenix I had Mexican doof unlike (and oh so much better) than anything available here. :yes:
There is the giant International Market in Memphis where one can gets their fish heads, packaged goods, as well as produce from all over the :earth: But even the restaurants resort to 'ordinary' veggies and canned bamboo or water chestnuts.
Anyway... :pie: I planted some Icicle radishes which are daikon-ish I believe. They have no other name on the package other than Icicle. And I planted some watermelon radii.
And I planted a whole bunch of kale & choi seedlings that have been neglected for too long.
And potted some lavender that I'd rooted as well as a couple of avocado trees that shot up from pits :yes:
And I potted a lonely rosemary. :wub:
Been a doog day tho very very :blowme:

COOL! I just watched an incredible leaf :twister: scoot across the yard like an elemental being. :cheer:

Icicle radish :scratch: I don't noes that one kinda looks like an heirloom carrot though iffen it's called a radish and tastes radishilos :rimshot: Then sure prolly daikonian since daikon is just radish :angel:

Oh about the latest mystery illness from China ... Dr.John Campbell has a doog angle on it ... atleast for the wacky pneumonia :yes: There appears to be a correlation with vitamin A deficiency which would make sense since in the asian whurled many MANY are A deficient ... which asplains asian mom syndrome :rimshot: :chuckle: But srsly A deficiency and mycoplasma pneumonia could be a thang :yes: Though there are cases now showing up around the whurled so prolly still more to it :dunno:

Oh the thang about Mexican restaurants is they is way WAY better in the US than in mejico :yes: a lot safer too culinarily speaken :whistle: Perhaps high end resort doof is doog but regular mexicanz don't eat that ffuts :nono:
Oh about the latest mystery illness from China ... Dr.John Campbell has a doog angle on it ... atleast for the wacky pneumonia :yes: There appears to be a correlation with vitamin A deficiency which would make sense since in the asian whurled many MANY are A deficient ... which asplains asian mom syndrome :rimshot: :chuckle: But srsly A deficiency and mycoplasma pneumonia could be a thang :yes: Though there are cases now showing up around the whurled so prolly still more to it :dunno:

Um... :hello: You've not eaten at a West Tanasi Mehican restaurant. :yucky:
Anyway... I made the bestest, cleanest taco ffutses last night. :drama: I make a black bean/corn/onion/cilantro/lime/salt 'salsa' or 'side dish'. Fat free refried beans. And a doog guacamole. Seasoned tofu crumble. Lotsa lettuce, red cabbage, and faux sour cream. Sometimes I makes a mango salsa or a spanish type rice. Sometimes not.
1000% times healthier and betterer than any local restaurant. Unless, of course, one wants LOTS of cheap greasiness and low-grade ground beef. :yucky: :rofl:
There are so few restaurants we can eat at anyway. :wiggle:
So Mom is still doing quite well. :bliss: It's quite uncanny.
And she's causing quite a stir in the senior crowd. :chuckle: They all wanna know what she did, where she went, howmuch it cost, etc, etc. :chuckle: She's a rock star. :rofl:

Yeah Mom & ZA gotted double shot a couple weeks ago. :yes:
And yes, Mom has turned back the clock 10+ years. :cheer:
So CS in a humidifier? :check: I can does that cuz we humidify....um... plants. :rofl: And us. :wiggle:
Speaking of us... the psoriasis is moderate on the knuckles on a scale of mild, moderate, severe. The shins are showing shadows of psoriasis past. :ghost: But not fully breaking out yet.
So ya know, his dermatologist said what I did which was "You know where to find me if you need meds again.". :yes:
And I was thinking about the least toxic/harmful alternatives so what if he were to get another injectable but ONLY use it say once or twice (or just through winter) rather than the monthly as prescribed? :scratch: The first one...cosentyx...he injected monthly & it totally cleared his skin within just a few days, but then began to wear off at 3 weeks. The others had similar 'lifespans'.
Of course a doctor could not prescribe it pro re nata but a patient could take it prn quite easily when one injects oneself.
Would that be less harmful than the oral medications? :scratch:
Obliviously less is more but I understanz that the potency of the portions may vary. :chuckle:
And no he hasn't gotten any bloodwork yet but he is taking 30K D3 a day just as he did on the Pagano diet. :yes:
And he's taking K2. And he's just begun using the light once again.
As for taco night... I always just make a bunch of ffutses & call it a taco bar. Then eeerbody fixes what they wants. :yes:
B usually makes tacos, ...yeah hard taco shells are the only cheat. J eats either a burrito bowl or a quesadilla made with whole wheat tortilla. I almost always eat it all as a taco salad, and sometimes a bean tostada on the side.
I cut & bake corn tortillas for a few chips. They are hard & dry compared to fried chips but serve the purpose. :chuckle:
So...in totally different newses I am so much enjoying my veranda garden this year. :wubsigh:
I has 18 very large pots (grower's pots that held shrubs &/or trees) and 2 planter boxes holding 3 types of kale, bok choy, swiss chard, lettuces & pansies. :wub: This morning I watched as every single thing was frozen :eek: but now has thawed & looks beautiful! :flowerom: We had talked about plastic-wrapping part of the veranda for overwintering but I dunno if it will be necessary or not. If we were to has a deep freeze I can easily cover or even drag ffuts indoors for a spell if need be.
And... I am finally getting a 365 day herb garden in full swing. :happydance: Basil, rosemary, lavender are easy. Parsley & cilantro are harder indoors & to have enough. I can grow cute widdle windowsill pots but they don't go very far when using them.
Anyway....the veranda garden is cuttable already & I've taken greens 2-3 times but I wants to get more started. :yes:
One can never has too many greens! :broccoli:
:bsl:
Yum!

I :wub: nuts and seeds. :sigh:
In my old life I usta roast peanuts in the microwave on the regular. Both in-shell and out.
The psoriasis is flaring up cuz of lack of :sun: :duh: He's in a gloomy office inside a metal building for most all of the daylight hours.
And we had/have the 311 light. The sick lizard light. :chuckle: You recommended it many many moons ago...before biologics even. It did not help.
And he's done tanning beds. They did not help tho he liked it. :chuckle:
And now we has the 660 deep red 860 near infrared bulb from you & the verdict is still out. When he first used it he was so so so bad that the light didn't stand a chance. Now, maybe it could/would help.
He's not mentioned meds yet anyway. He's wanting to hold out as long as it is bearable. :flex: It's a gnarly disease. :sigh:
As for cheating... avocado, an :egg: here & there & for him, chicken or tuna a couple times a month. That's it now.
A year ago it was sugary ffutses cuz that's when he could not get satiated. :sigh: But now, he eats far less & is has adjusted to the oillos way of life. :wiggle: As has I. :matt:
I'm eating breakfast now. I gots a big salad with spinach, kale & lettuce, chickpeas, cucumber, cilantro & green onion with a lemon wedge squeezed on top. That's how we salad now. Tho my 'cheat' is a sprinkling of Asian crunchy noodles. :drool: It's the perfect way to start the day. :elfparty:

"I :wub: nuts and seeds. :sigh:
In my old life I usta roast peanuts in the microwave on the regular. Both in-shell and out. "
:therethere: seeds and :stun: are packed full of nutritional doogness wraped in a web of EBIL :basementcat:
Srsly them phytates screw up a doog thang :fist: BUT a nice roasting and :boom: only the doogness is left :bliss:
Anywho FIRST there is flavour :liplick: and SECOND is the health benefits so I mostly goes with roasting of :pumpkin: and :sunflower: seeds 'cuz pumpkin seeds have zinc and copper in a nice chelating wrapper so they don't go :boom: and can be absorbed by the body. Sunflower seeds have pantothenic acid {B5} which is kinda important for coenzyme A involved in all sorts of ffuts in particular the NRGeez cycle :flex:
Other than those two seeds I also likes but don't roast pistachios and macadamia :stun: in particular for dad 'cuz they has doogly amounts of B1 ... oh and Brazil :stun: for selenium BUT ya only need like one per week :oz:
FYI: B1 is one of them vitamins ... in my opinion ... eberyone gits wrong and not enough of ... espeeshully for older folk and vegetationists including those who supplement it :yes:
For instance lentils are a doog source of B1 with 28% rda per half cup :thumbs: I likes lentils :yes: they is doog BUT the bio availability as in the amount a person actually absorbs is less than 4% ... in other wurdz you really only git ~1% of that B1 in lentils :drama: The doog news is that thiamine can hang out in the body for 18 to 21 days {call it 20 :daisy: }. So iffen you are ALWAYS eating healthy B1 deficiency prolly isn't a problem :nono:
That said B1 supplements are typically thiamine hydrochloride which also has :carp: absorption BUT iffen taken daily AND a person eats well then thangs are okeedokee :thumbs:
The big drawbacks are processed carbs and espeeshully alcohol literally wash the thiamine out of the body :uhoh: In :egg: treme cases ... typically long term alcoholics ... you seez the development of Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome ... they is two separate thangs but generally appear together so is referred to as Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome/disease. Basically :brain: damage :boom:
SO ... :whatever: ... why is I :blah: :blah: :blah: ing on this? Doog question :yes: It's because as you age you are less and less able to absorb B1 espeeshully since typically blood sugars go up as people git older. A siguie theory is that this is one of the cause for age related cognitive decline as well as sarcopenia ... 'cuz B1 is needed in the Mitochondria hence why I noes anythin about it :oz:
FYI: absorbing B1 from meat :cow: is much muches better than from plants :unthumbs:
Lastly when dad started slooowing down along with the iron :bump: and eberythang else including B complex :bump: I added Benfotiamine (https://amzn.to/489XtKc) <= Amazon link which is far more readily absorbed than the regular hydrochloride salt :angel:
I would expect the Metabolics Vitamin B1 (https://amzn.to/41cGJzG) <= Amazon link ... to be as doog iffen not better BUT it takes2 or 3 weeks to arrive. This one is the pyrophosphate which is the one you git from meat :cow: and people are designed to absorb :thumbs:
"And we had/have the 311 light. The sick lizard light. :chuckle: You recommended it many many moons ago...before biologics even."
:woe: No no you don't has a 311nm light :wall: you has a UVB light :gaah: I "recommended" a 311nm light but because they are so :egg: spensive mentioned you should :check: to see how wll he responded by using a cheap reptile UVB light. You never EBER actually determined what it is that reduces his psoriasis flare ups :nonono: You just beleebs it's the :sun: :vibes: which iffen it is means he should respond positively to an appropriately intense 311nm light. The problem is you don't really noes iffen it's the :sun: 's light or the heat and :egg: sercise coupled with spring/summer diets that reduces the psoriasis.
Iffen you noes it's the light :vibes: making him better then a suitably intense light system has to werk :angel: However, since you do not have a baseline of any kind there's really no way for you to be sure :nono:
"And now we has the 660 deep red 860 near infrared bulb from you & the verdict is still out. ..."
No it's not :nono: you haven't established a baseline nor have any idea how long to irradiate nor how often. If the psoriasis vanishes it may have nuthin to do do with the light :nono: PLUS red/infrared light werks on a different system than the 311nm phototherapy. If neither tanning beds nor other light systems werk then why do you insist on the :sun: vibes werking? :scratch: He may simply be that 1 in 10 person for whom light therapy does not work :dunno:
"A year ago it was sugary ffutses cuz that's when he could not get satiated. :sigh: But now, he eats far less & is has adjusted to the oillos way of life. :wiggle: As has I. :matt: "
FYI: cheating on Dr.E's protocol includes sugar ... I just said sugar was less likely to effect his CAD vs oil.
Also didn't he just go to the dentist because he was eating sooo many fruits that he whittled away his teef? :roll:
Perhaps his wynter psoriasis flares are simply the time delay between summer fruit binges and flakey onset and has nuthin to does with light :vibes: ... :dunno:
Yer memos :suck:
Speaken of :suck: it's kale Fryday :cheer:

You never EBER actually determined what it is that reduces his psoriasis flare ups :nonono: You just beleebs it's the :sun: :vibes: which iffen it is means he should respond positively to an appropriately intense 311nm light. The problem is you don't really noes iffen it's the :sun: 's light or the heat and :egg: sercise coupled with spring/summer diets that reduces the psoriasis.
Iffen you noes it's the light :vibes: making him better then a suitably intense light system has to werk :angel: However, since you do not have a baseline of any kind there's really no way for you to be sure :nono:
"And now we has the 660 deep red 860 near infrared bulb from you & the verdict is still out. ..."
No it's not :nono: you haven't established a baseline nor have any idea how long to irradiate nor how often. If the psoriasis vanishes it may have nuthin to do do with the light :nono: PLUS red/infrared light werks on a different system than the 311nm phototherapy. If neither tanning beds nor other light systems werk then why do you insist on the :sun: vibes werking? :scratch: He may simply be that 1 in 10 person for whom light therapy does not work :dunno:
"A year ago it was sugary ffutses cuz that's when he could not get satiated. :sigh: But now, he eats far less & is has adjusted to the oillos way of life. :wiggle: As has I. :matt: "
FYI: cheating on Dr.E's protocol includes sugar ... I just said sugar was less likely to effect his CAD vs oil.
Also didn't he just go to the dentist because he was eating sooo many fruits that he whittled away his teef? :roll:
Perhaps his wynter psoriasis flares are simply the time delay between summer fruit binges and flakey onset and has nuthin to does with light :vibes: ... :dunno:
Yer memos :suck:
Speaken of :suck: it's kale Fryday :cheer:
I'm doesing Cod 'n chinese brown sauce with onions and :mushrooms: plus kale 'n sumthin else :scratch: to be decided on after :check: ing the veggie jails :bye: :run:

K this is from Shawn Baker MD who is a very PRO Carnivore Diet ... I guess you would say "influencer" :sockpuppet: and purty much the guy who started the current carnivore craze :cow:
Anywho he's very knowledgable and keeps up with the latest research and one of the leading atherosclerosis researchers from UCLA has just published ... a rather unique study in the journal Metabolism ... the paper is being published but the issue isn't out yet ... basically siguie right agin :irule: :yesss:
Youtube video >>> This is HUGE NEWS! Please share far and wide! (https://youtu.be/0hYLVF7VY3k?si=3n7-EXHDVQqOm-Cf) <<<
Basically very low carb diets like ketogenic and carnivore diet practitioners {carnivore is NOT necessarily keto } often see a :bump: in LDL cholesterol. Typically a ~20% spike from doof is :egg: pected :yes: however there are some peoplez referred to as hyperresponders who have ginormous :bump: s up to apparently 600 mg/dl for 5 years or more :faint:
The study matched these hyperresponders who have had these levelz for atleast 5 years against otherwise identical individuals {BMI, no diabetes, etc.} with LDL around 135.
The thang is the method used to quantify plaque was coronary CT angiograms which is basically the gold standard for atherosclerosis ... cardiac MRI's are more useful for information on the myocardium but otherwise yup they used the one B should has :whistle:
Anywho, the results ... yup no atherosclerotic differences between nermal LDL and super high :superman: LDL :siguie: :yesss:
Thang is these results may seem unexpected but there have always been suggestions that this was the case in other literature results BUT the UCLA professor just performed the :egg: pensive study to show it is so :thumbs: :yes:
Now as Shawn Baker keeps pointing out ... this does not mean that high LDL levelz have nothing to does with atherosclerosis 'cuz they does :yes: or as he puts it ... me parapHrasing ... LDL cholesterol IS causal for atherosclerosis BUT it is a dependent variable ... meaning it depends on what else is going on.
As I put it High LDL is fine ... sometimez even more betterer ... if you are otherwise healthy and have a doog diet/lifestyle :yes: ... otherwise not so muches :nono:
Basically minimize highly processed doof and stay active :run: Thangs like too much sugar/carbs, :smokes: and :wine: espeeshully linked with a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) lifestyle is what makes LDL EBIL ... :basementcat:

And genetics/heredity?? Or does that only affect HDL as B's cardiologist claimed? :scratch:
And movement. I've come to the conclusion that movement is key to everything. :sparkle: :matt:
K, so maybe it wasn't 311nm but I do remember the number cuz it's also the name of a band. 311. :yes:
But it was DEFINITELY a sick lizard light & we gotted it at Walmart. :yes: It was over 10 years ago cuz I recall B being very very bad when Dad was sick...2012/13.
And FYI: cheating on Dr.E's protocol includes sugar ... I just said sugar was less likely to effect his CAD vs oil.
Also didn't he just go to the dentist because he was eating sooo many fruits that he whittled away his teef? :roll:
Yes, I noes full well that sugar is 'cheating'. :duh: Sometimes you act like I did not read the whole book nor pass the test. :pie:
I axshully has the :book: , too. An axshual paper thang.
And he was eating about 4oz of berries...blackberries, blueberries, raspberries every day. The true fruititarian stage was only when he was sweating all day at the nursery. Try & keep up. :wedgie:
:bsl:
I'm glad your kale nights have morphed into 'cooking for Dad & me' nights. :righton:
Zanna says you're a doog dik. :yes: :)
Boy oh boy energies are driew... :luna: :quake: :aaahhh: :frantic:
Yesterday we went to Martin Walmart. Left early so as to be ahead of the storms moving in. :wiggle:
And then the storms were 'early' so we gotted to experience a :twister: warning inside a Walmart. :rofl:
We had just checked out. It was raining cats & dogs & elephants & rhinos! :scared: So we stood near the door to wait a bit & SUDDENLY the :twister: sirens went off & everybody (cashiers & all) was moved to the back of the store. We were allowed to leave it desired but we waited for the rain to ease.
Anyway...all was well there tho we did see :twister: damage near Dresden on the way home. :gheart:
And then later in the afternoon there were MULTIPLE :twister: with major damages all around the Nashville/Middle Tanasi area.
At least 6 killed & dozen injured.
:gheart:
This is the third December :twister: outbreak since we've lived here. :faint:

"And genetics/heredity?? Or does that only affect HDL as B's cardiologist claimed? :scratch: "
:huh: :scratch: the official term is Hypercholesterolemia and this study includes "Lean Mass Hyper Responder" which is primarily about LDL but HDL tends to skooch up too but much muches less. There is also phenotypical evidence so a hereditary link is purty much a thang. :yes:
There's no way B's cardiologist would say it only effects HDL 'cuz that means he's stoopid as durt ... no offense to durt youses :nono:
Also keep in mind the term Hypercholesterolemia keeps getting redefined lower and lower :roll: back in the day before the :bump: in :heart: disease and CAD nermal Total cholesterol was much muches higher :yes:
The paper is about hyper responders on low carb diets but are otherwise healthy. The idea is they found people with skeery high LDL levelz who refused or for whatever reason had not treatment and maintained these levelz for 5+ years. The current medical beleebz is that even after one year cardiovascular deterioration is inevitable ... it's not :nono:
The important thing to unerstanz is those peoplez who do not believe the lipid/cholesterol hypothesis :egg: pected this outcome :yes: The same way that the BMJ article showed higher cholesterol levels favoured longer lifespans and healthspans vs all cause mortality.
The importance of both studies together is that it shows that a genetic link predisposing one to higher nermal cholesterol is NOT the same as a link to CAD and :heart: disease :nono: Either there is additional genetic linkings OR there is just more to it :angel:
I wont go find all the research articles BUT ... in my opinion ... it is clear and has been for decades that cholesterol numbers alone have very little or I think zero bearing on anything :nono: That said iffen you has CAD or :heart: disease then yes there is definitely reasons to lower cholesterol :yes: Also for those with uncontrolled diabetes or obesity with insulin resistance ... prolly a doog idea there too :oz:

Quote from: lamboy...
That said I'm not particularly convinced that high cholesterol in general is "bad" :nono: This is siguie brand medical research not to be confused with actual research done by qualified researchists :nono: BUT half of all those who suffer heart attacks do not have high cholesterol. Even if you adjust for HDL vs LDL levels it really doesn't appear to change much :dunno:
In fact to date I have not been able to figure out why there is an association between cholesterol levels and heart attacks. :dunno: I most certainly could be missing something but it looks like exercise and nutritional deficits are more likely to be significant contributors for or against coronary health ... oh and genetics :yes:

Mom's magic wand has not yet arrived but I'm certain she will find it very helpful. :chuckle: Belief! :santa: :rofl:
And Matthew :nonono: No new word yet tho Zen Aunt was to have seen him on Saturday. I should hear soon. :wiggle:
And the cardiologist said that B's 'too low' HDL is the genetic part & that they can't do anything about that. :dunno:
(of course his 'doing anything' means meds only)
I've always beleebed like you, that cholesterol numbers matter little & neither Zen Aunt or I will ever take a statin. :nonono:
Mom & B listened to their doctors :sigh: tho B came around after he got over the :scared: Mom has responded so well & her cholesterol is down so much PLUS she can still eat her fried catfish :yucky: and :whatever: (That's her reasoning)
My goal...unrelated to cholesterol findings...is to leave this world taking NO (ZERO) daily prescription meds. :shera:
Oh when I gotted the bill from the bloodwork visit, the office visit costed $225 after the insurance paid $58. :gaah:
That was the OV. THe lab was only $45 out of pocket. :yes:
It really wasn't worth that much monies to know what I already knew anyway but Mom & ZA have been nagging me for years (literally) to get in & get bloodwork cuz they are constantly worried bout my thyroid or whatnots so at least I quieted them down for a good while. :chuckle:
Now I can go back to doing me. :asilly:
So I ordered some more Sea-90 for all my Veranda Greens. :arugula: :cheer:
You made fun of it before...somethin bout it 'just being a salt'...but all I know for sure is that it made radish greens as big as my hand (I have long fingers & large hands) . ALL the greens grow like crazy when used as a foliar spray.

Sea-90 is literally just sea salt from the Sea of Cortez ... presumably they lower the sodium level so you don't salt yer durt too badly :dunno:
Iffen you like it that's fine :yes: it just seems a little silly to me :whistle: why not just git the trace mineralz and add them to the durt OR even betterer analyze yer durt to figure out what it's missing then add back only what be :missing: :angel:

:hysterical: um yeah I bet yer correct :chuckle: Um try doesing an :egg: periment to see what happens :mina: Use epsom salt as a foliar spray in the same amounts as the Sea-90 :popcorn:
FYI: leabes cannot absorb all that many mineralz 'cuz they isn't roots :nono: but one that they can is Magnesium :yes: which coinkadinkally is needed for making sed leabes which can also makes them growd faster :whistle:
Also spraying it on leabes is a trick 'cuz while adding it to the roots werks fine it can inhibit the uptake of Calcium which in low Calcium soils or for plants that need lots can be problematic :oz:

That last sentence just doesn't make sense. :rofl: I have no opinion on what others do or do not do. Do do do-do do do!! :choir:
And yes, I water with epsom salts periodically when we've had big ffutses growing. :roll: And sometimes I just sprinkle it around all nilly willy like a :enorah:
I'm just sayin... the Sea-90 does ffuts that nothin else does. :magic: Especially with greens.
Fwiw it also can be broadcast like epsom salts.
And Mom gotted her light yesterday. :cheer: She was initially pleased but when she turned it on she said, "It's not warm". :sigh:
I says, "It's not supposed to be, Mom. Remember? I gave you the wrong bulb last time...the heat bulb."
Supposedly the chiropractor uses a heated table so there's the heat. :crazyeyes: I recommended her heating pad. :chuckle:
But, thankfully, she's not in real pain now. :cheer:
And I am :scared: of the super-powered lights! :scared:
Don't think I've ever told you how Jacki blistered her shoulder. :sigh: I was cooking... she & B were apposta be timing.
They forgot. :gaah: It was over a year ago & she still has scars.
I wanted to cry. :bawling:
So yeah, glad Mom's light has a shut-off timer & glad it's not potentially harmful (as long as she doesn't shine it in her eyes).

Yeah and I'm just sayin it's celtic sea salt :yes: 'cuz it's just Celtic sea salt and that's only on the original bags 'cuz others just say "sea salt".
When you harvest sea salt you use evaporation pools to crystallize out the NaCl and you does it in a way resembling "Fractional Crystallization". The main first fraction is NaCl the next is Magnesium Chloride {MgCl2} and down with one of the last fractions being Lithium Chloride {LiCl} which tends to be a liquid because it's too hygroscopic to crystallize in nermal air.
Anywho yeah there are other components in sea-90 but mostly not neededby plants an certainly not in any standard :magic: ratio :nono: Thang is once you remove the sodium it's safe to throw it on plants 'cuz it's basically Nigari ... which is a tofu coagulent aka Magnesium Chloride ... like what you gotted :whistle:

Wrong! :buttkick:
Jacki never used the heat bulb. I bought it by mistake for the psoriasis. She is a hyper-responder when it comes to everything else so that makes sense. :yes: Seriously, you noes she cannot take narcotics nor sedatives nor much of anything....amember how she spiked the fever & went near-comatose (more like catatonic axshully) after the covid vax? :scared:
And I noes you don't 'get' homeopathy :roll: but she axshully proved out the remedy when she was 8ish & we went to an MD/homeopath. For reals, she was verbally challenged at that time & could not communicate what she knew or thunk.
I had given her a remedy & then we went to Sesame St Live. She was exceptionally calm & well-behaved which was not her norm at that age (we walked out of a circus...too stimulating...and more than one movie) and THEN....
on the way home she gave the most incredibly literate synopsis of everything she'd seen. B & I :faint: :faint:
We had never heard her speak so clearly & eloquently. :luvcry: But by the next day she could not communicate about it at all. :sigh:
And when she was 5 one half of a low dose ritalin made her hyper, hyper, HYPER! :frantic: Unfortunately, we had gone to dinner with my parents & she would not stay in her seat. Ran all over the place & I ended up outside with her as they finished eating. :scared: I never gave her another one of those. :no:
Hyper-responder. :yes: To life on :earth: :righton:
Fine. :hmph: I DO have opinions but I keeps most of them to myself & truly...I work hard to not judge others' paths.
I offer help or advice when asked. And they all ask a LOT. :hysterical:
Gotta :run: Taking Mom & ZA to Jackson again today. First, a bit of Christmas shopping.....then at 3, Mom has her follow-up appointment. :shera: She oughta be tired & achy by then so she can give an honest testimonial. :chuckle:

Quote from: SpaceweatherTHE BEST METEOR SHOWER OF THE YEAR: It's happening tonight. The best meteor shower of the year is expected to peak on Dec. 13-14 with no Moon to spoil the show. Rural observers could see hundreds of Geminid meteors and more than a few fireballs. This is also the most mysterious meteor shower of the year. New research shows that the shower's parent, 3200 Phaethon, is not what we thought it was. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
That's tonight :ura: :cheer:
"Though blistering and long term scarring is almost certainly the heat lamp :sigh:
Wrong! :buttkick: "
Wow kinda unusual :faint: most peoplez figure out they is hyperresponders in the first few treatments :hmm2:
When starting photobiomodulation there are two thangs to take note of the light intensity :vibes: and time :norway: The idea is you want to figure out the fluence aka the amount of light over an area per time unit ... that is needed for whatever THEN the amount of time :norway: to generate the optimal result this is both time under the light and time between treatments.
The tricky part about light therapy is there is a No Effect 'cuz too low level {time and intensity} which is generally followed by a SUDDEN :bump: in effectiveness :happydance: at this point there may or may not be more benefits for longer or more intense treatments and after the peak it's a long slooow downward progression. For most non-medical grade systems this is fine and most people fall into the typical start at X minutes N times per day or week and 99% will fall in that OK zone :yes:
Hyperresonders are that less than 1% ... where the better light system makers say thangs like :egg: spose the inside of yer arm from x distance for n minutes and :check: for redness or irritation. Generally it's easy enough to find a doog zone by doubling the distance which quarters the intensity in general {aka intensity drops off by the square of the distance} and then halving the time ... this essentially produces a ~1/10th fluence { :secret: actually it's 1/8th :whistle: }
By any chance did she or does she eat a lot of celery, parsley and or citrus? :oz:
In fact come to thinxz of it does B eat those thangs at different timez of the year or just a lot in general? :hmm2:
Them thangs contain natural psoralenes which typically absorb in the 300 to 450nm range so the red/infrared light shouldn't has an effect BUT parsley and celery espeeshully has numerous skin effects including intense rash :hmm2:
Anywho just thinking :scratch: ... hyperresponding only asplains the one burn ... she didn't seem to have any issues with the nermal skin :egg: sposures :dunno: Also it feelz like yer burning so hyperresponders generally figure out sumthin is wrong like touching a hot kettle :uhoh:
"And I noes you don't 'get' homeopathy :roll: "
That's an understatement :yes: unless yer talking placebo maximus :oz:
"Hyper-responder. :yes: To life on :earth: :righton: "
:yes: :yes: :nono: I don't thinxz that wurd means what you thinxz it means :therethere:
Also does she :sun: burn unusually easily 'cuz them lights are simply providing more of certain frequencies :vibes:
"Fine. :hmph: I DO have opinions but I keeps most of them to myself & truly...I work hard to not judge others' paths.
I offer help or advice when asked. And they all ask a LOT. :hysterical: "
:yesss: siguie right agin :irule: :siguie:
Yeah, well welcomez to my whurled :drama: I'm like that guy with a truck people try to be nice to 'cuz they might need help mooving :sigh:
Of course unlikes you :buttkick: I offer help AND advice 'cuz I wanna see what happens :muaha:
Srsly like them copper water bottles ... I just liked them and gave them out to peoplez who had no clue why :scratch: Most got used once or twice and went :bye: but a couple are still being used and one was turned into a really cool vase by an artist freund :yes: Also one is used to water some wacky asian plant I fergetz the name but it's referred to as Vietnamese Balm or some such PLUS she uses it to water onions and spinach 'cuz they need more copper. Incidentally so do beets and carrots as well as :sunflower: Apparently 1 ... who nude :dunno:

K so yes she sunburns very easily. :eek: She is vampiric white. :rofl:
And our light came with NO instructions whatsoever :nonono: but we had been setting a timer for 10 minutes for Jacki on her shoulder. But that afternoon it stayed on 20-30 minutes, was likely resting ON the shoulder, & yes she said it burned which is when they shut it off. She had half dozen blisters about the diameter of a pencil eraser that remained sore then itchy for weeks & weeks. And now, over a year later she still has 3 scars.
As for psoralens.... I has no clue what she was eating when. I don't even remember when it was. :crazyeyes: But if it was Pagano days we ate a TON of celery then specifically for the psoralens.
Anyway...when it happened I cried. :bawling: They didn't see me but I felt so very bad. I was also mad cuz I though the 2 of them together were more responsible than that. :sigh: But thankfully, it seems we didn't incinerate her bones. :scared:
As for homeopathy... I know. :whatever: I know, I acknowledge, I understand that there is NO science behind it & that it 'doesn't make sense'. But I have seen things with Jacki when she was little as well as with the pets that cannot be explained away as placebo or even 'suggestion'.
When I shove the little pills into the back of the cats' mouths & say, "Swallow" they have no expectations. :chuckle:
But recently, Stripes (one of the 17 year old girls) had bad congestion...snot bubbles, sneezing, runny eyes. I gave her arsenicum album for a couple days (just 1 pill a day) & she's fine. Fwiw she's had this upper respiratory thing for years...off & on...& I've always felt that she has feline leukemia or FIV. And before you badmouth that feeling, I always thought the same about her mother, my Sunny :wub: Sunny's congestion went into her lungs as well & I was frequently doing respiratory therapy on her to help her cough it out. :wub:
I use reiki, homeopathy. TT & CS on all the cats. And I know there's no beloved proof, but lessee... Spirit was confirmed FIV+ as a kitten & it was recommended we put him down :nonono: He lived to be 11 years old & the vet here just could not believe he was FIv+ so they asked if they could test him (on the house :chuckle: ). I said "Sure" and yes, he was still FIV+ at the end of his days. :wub:
As for feline leukemia, I had a cat way back who died from that at 1 year old so I recognized many of the same symptoms & signs in Sunny & Stripes.
So since I've been doesing what I does I've had:
Spirit who live 11 years longer than the vets woulda had him live...
Sunny who had kittens too early & was sickish her whole life who lived to be 15.
Shadow...the first of the 3 kittens to leave. He also was 'coldy' his whole life & died in 2020 at 14. His lungs SUDDENLY filled with fluid.
Scooby Doo who had a wheeze & rattle in his chest from the day he showed up (B's mom had a cat with a similar sound who had a heart issue & died young) & he lived to 16
And still here:
Shaggy who's had typical male pee problems off & on his whole life & was treated primarily with homeopathy. (as an aside...Shaggy never ate canned food his entire life...up until just a month or so ago. :huh: Now he eats ONLY canned doof.
And yes, I noes the dry doof contributed to his urinary issues but he ONLY ate Purina One Chicken...nothing else :faint: )
Shaggy is 16. Sleeps like a person, under the covers with his head on my pillow. :wub:
And Stripes, aforementioned. I truly thought she's be the first 'kitten' to leave cuz she's been sickly her entire life but she's 17
And Sweets...the 3rd kitten...the one who survived 10 days in the woods & lost an eye...she's been remarkably healthy & is also 17.
They all got spayed or neutered & gotted rabies shots only. And then they rarely went to the vet unless injured.
So yeah, I will always use homeopathy on my cats. :wub:
And dogs. :chuckle: I shan't forgets the dogs... :wub: Heartworm disease finally took them out but Chico & Coco were both 14 or 15 & they were 80 &100 pound farm dogs who lived dangerously. :uhoh: Coco had more lives (& injuries & accidents & vet trips) than any of them. :ococ: :wub:
Some things just cannot be scienced and that's okay. :therethere: And many many things cannot be esplained. :therethere:
And I believe in them all! :gstars: There is more to heaven & earth than meets the eye (or microscope),
So...speaking of unexplained & healing & the likes...
Yesterday was an awesome day! :elfparty: Us girls (Mom, ZA, J & I) left Mom's depot at 10AM. :wiggle:
First we had um...brunch...at Perkins. :sparkle: Then we went to Books-a-Million, then to Old Navy, then to Kohl's.
Mom wanted black pants & tried on multiple pairs. She was beginning to hurt more & more & by the time we got to the doc (3PM) she was in a moderate amount of pain.
So the doc did a complementary Accoustic Wave Therapy treatment on her & she responded beautifully. :rstars:
For reals, she walked out of the office a totally different being than the one who walked in. :faint:
So as this was new to me I did some preliminary research last night...
Does you know (I've yet to find an acceptable answer)...is there a difference between accoustic wave, shockwave & extracorporeal shock wave? Or are they just different names for the same thang?
I was also looking at home treatments. :yes: The internet says treatments range from $150-$500 & I saw devices that might
help for $600ish.
They also said her TENS unit is helpful for stimulating healing and they whole-heartedly approved of her new light therapy 'toy'. :pie:
So since she was so perky....we went to the Mall. :rofl: Walked all over the mall to see decorations (Mom :chuckle: ) but it was mostly sad cuz there are so many shuttered stores.
Then we gotted takeout to bring home for dinger & I got home after 6.
But a month ago...there was NO way possible Mom coulda handled an 8 hour shopping trip.
:gstars: :gheart: :gstars:

This is a 1:08 minute video shockwaver (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/shockwaver.mp4) ... it's possible the audio don't werk on appley devices BUT iffen this is the thang that they used on durtmomma then it's possible to git it real cheap :yes: this one was $18 after tax from Amazon ... Shockwave Machine (https://amzn.to/3uZB6J4) <= Amazon Link
It looks like it is currently unavailable though :darn: I almost gotted a second one just for the parts. In any event this is basically a medium to deep tissue percussion massage system. I've already used it on a couple of testers for feetz, lower back pain/sciatica and one tennis elbow. A few other thangs too but those are the 3 where immediately afterwards or the next day them persons ordered their own :yes:
Thang is you does kinda need to noes anatomy really doog and noes how to choose the correct tip so prolly not the bestest option for peoplez who need to read a stoopid manual :whistle: In theory these thangs werk on the principal of causing micro trauma that the body then healz along with whatver else was causing problems. They is also doog for undoesing scar tissue and improving circulation so durtmomma :thumbs: and ghostghurl too :yes:
That said with a :wheee: bit of knowledge /research you can does the same thang using a an acupressure pen/wand or a doog deep tissue massage tool BUT slighly less painful and less diffiuclt to learn ... you might want to look at massage :guns: :yes:
AERLANG Massage Gun (https://amzn.to/3Nuz6z4) <= Amazon Link
Massage guns like the one above have roughly the same RPMs and power but are a lot LOT cheaper and generally safer because they spread the NRGeez out over a larger area :vibes: BUT iffen you noes what youse is doesing you can use something like a massage tool AND the massage :guns: together like a hammer hitting a nail :angel:
Personally I think durtmomma just needs some core training :flex: :wave: :run:

K that shockwave thang WAS unbelievably cheap. :faint:
But from what I've read (& admittedly not much cuz well...busy :wiggle: ) accoustic wave therapy is less intense & gentler than shockwave. Also it doesn't penetrate as deeply but where she needs it is not very deep. :nonono:
And I am a bit :uhoh: of the massage gun cuz well...if her disks are really "mush" like the doctor said... :scared:
She said the therapy she gotted did not hurt at all & stopped the pain almost immediately. I did not see what it was.
Funny, I care most about healing...she cares about pain relief & doesn't really care if the area heals or not as long as it doesn't hurt. :chuckle: Her words.
So Jacki went to Mom's for the weekend & we finished Christmassing. :santa:
And get this... yesterday Zen Aunt tested positive for covid. :tissue: She was pretty sick....even tho she gotted the booster about a month ago. So she was with J & J on Friday night so I figure if Mom or Jack has it the symptoms oughta show today or tomorrow. :crazyeyes: :popcorn:
And...on Saturday night, when Zen Aunt first began feeling sickly (sore throat, sniffles, coughing) she was in a car for several hours with Matthew, his mom & step-dadl riding around seeing Christmas lights. She is quite distraught,& hoping they are all ok. :sigh:
Elsewise...all is well. Final countdown to vacay! :elfparty: B is off from 12/22 til 1/2. :cheer:

"K that shockwave thang WAS unbelievably cheap. :faint: "
Yeah ya kinda has ta noes what to looks for and grab it as soon as ya seez it as in noes what you want afores seeing it for the first time on Amazon or wherever :oz:
China's economy is sinking fast, most of these kinda thangs are made there and when a company goes :boom: they need to clear eberythang quick so I gotted one 8) Though what I really REALLY want is a 3MHz ultrasonic wand :wubsigh: but they are still $150+ :sigh:
"But from what I've read (& admittedly not much cuz well...busy :wiggle: ) accoustic wave therapy is less intense & gentler than shockwave. Also it doesn't penetrate as deeply but where she needs it is not very deep. :nonono: "
Thang is "accoustic wave therapy" IS shockwave therapy or "softwave" or whatever minor tweaks and new marketing names are applied. All of these devices deliver a mechanical impulse to a location at a very high :vibes: frequency either like a jackhammer or an electric toothbrush. It all depends on the impulse strength and frequency :sebiv: both of which are adjustable AND why you really should noes what you are doesing where iffen only to noes which head/tip to use :yes:
That said shockwave machines are basically just high end massage tools that send :vibes: into tissue. Think of the way sound waves propagate in air. This is called a rarefied acoustic waves ... you can hear it but you need a huge amount of volume in order to feelz it.However, iffen you put a speaker against the skin those :vibes: can be transferred into the body or whatever more powerfully ... coinkadinkilly like my Thunderpuck :headbang:
Now thinxz of shockwave therapy like a (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/drumer.gif) ... durtmomma's :egg: perience was similar to using a snare or tenor drum with a cross between drumsticks and snare wires. Just as easily it could have been like a bass drum but the area they were doesing was tender and delicate so not a great choice.
The tips of the shockwave devices dictates how the impulse energy is distributed too so think of nail vs chisel.
Anywho, yes I gots one :irule: and it was durt cheap :yesss: but without goesing into details I noes just enough to play with it AND noes that you prolly shouldn't use one on durtmomma :therethere: Now B's feetz ... there's a definitive perchance :yes:
That said the one I really REALLY want is the 3MHz ultrasonic wand :thumbs: It's actually very similar to the shockwave devices only the lowest freaquency is about 10 to 20 timez higher :happydance: The shockwave devices "should" be used with an appropriate topical gel so as not to tear skin when mooving but the ultrasound devices REQUIRE it to help dissipate heat :heat: Also the main danger is overheating the tissue you are trying to treat. In the same way shockwave devices are a :bump: up compared to percussion massage toolz the ultrasound devices are a :bump: up from there :angel:
In any event they are all doog and very useful devices BUT prolly not a doog idea for durtmomma :therethere: The reason doktorz cost so muches other than that's what they can git away with :hmm: is they do has training AND :egg: perience with delicate/tender problems is a big PLUS :yes:
That said those massage :guns: are awesome on legs and backs :thumbs:
"And get this... yesterday Zen Aunt tested positive for covid. :tissue: She was pretty sick....even tho she gotted the booster about a month ago."
:darn: :therethere: Yeah to be fair the booster does not help muches :nono: by the 4th shot there is no appreciable lessening in catching the covid only a :bump: in fighting it off and lessening the severity. It's still doog that she gotted the shot but yeah ... :cs:
"She is quite distraught,& hoping they are all ok. :sigh: "
I'm thinking they are the ones who gave it to her ... older persons tend to show symptoms earlier. It's very likely one of them was symptomlos and infected her ... she shouldn't oughta worry about it now :nono: just mask up when out and stay at home when yer infected :gaah:
Oh does she has any Amazon devices? 'cuz the "Drop in" thang is really really handy :yes: I has a couple of Dad cams and echo shows in his place just so I can :check: on him BUT more importantly I made sure every room had or was within speaking distance of an echo flex :yes: That way he can always call for help iffen he needs it AND it was kinda useful a few years ago :whistle:
Incidentally I did the same for siguie manor AND I even has an echo flex in the garage :thumbs:

It's nearly :santa: time! :bliss: If I amemberz correctly, the minions all gets vacay...you usually hafta go in a couple times & feed the rats or somethin like that. :hysterical: :roll:
Zen Aunt was much better yesterday... "just a little stopped up" (southernese for congested :chuckle: )
She gotta get better cuz we've all got a trip to Nashville on Saturday...we're taking Mom to the Ryman to see a Christmas show for Christmas. :choir:
Today is my last 'free' day. :wiggle: Gtocery shopping with Mom tomorrow, hairs cut on Thursday in Jackson, supposedly we're going out on Friday for my :birthday: , Nashville Saturday, dinner with Mom & ZA on both Christmas Eve & Day. Then on Monday...Vacay really begins. :rofl:
And thanks, yes... I'd pretty much decided to leave the accoustic wave homestyle alone. :eek:
But I really liked the drum set analogy... :rimshot:

Yeah K2 is surprisingly doog at eberythang a person needz :happydance:
I changed my K2 supplement ... the one drop thang is fine BUT I uber :bump: ed my D3 :flex: and wanted to see what effect MK4 has :secret: ... most ... K2 supplements are MK7 ... but mine is both PLUS I am alsi playing with Benfotiamine ... and I moobed all my oil soluble vitamins to the morning to has with my :coffee: :matt:
Of course durtmomma eats :cow: so she wont needz nearly as muches as the two{three} of youses :nono: Anyho, her "mush" has sufficient strength that she don't need a spinal fusion :horror: so once the inflammation is reduced assuming it is reduced ... new calcium and magnesium depositation can occur :thumbs: atleast in theory :dunno:
Mmmmm bad doof soooo doog :liplick: ... well the combination of sugar and oils in bountiful supply :gstars: oughta be a doog test of symptomlosity :share:
Doog Lucks and has nuf :wave:

:yes: I was born on the Winter Solstice AND a :fullmoon:
Full-blooded Kaerf! :bliss:
Yeah, the doof... :sigh:
Speaking of D3....Jacki's hair is falling out pretty bad again. :sigh: It had stabilized, tho no appreciable new growth..
She's nearly bald on top tho thankfully she doesn't see it &/or doesn't admit it so it doesn't make her self-conscious or anything.
But anyway, I saw a study where they used 200,000IU D3 fortnightly (I had to look that one up :chuckle: ) for 12 weeks & 82% of participants had marked new growth.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33642467/
That's alotta D3.
But it does make sense to :bump: her up tho I am a bit :scared: of overdosing her.
Are there any signs or symptoms of too muchness before the :uhoh: signs happen?
Or any suggestions on how to take (at night, morning, with or without doof, etc?) that would prevent or discourage hypercalcemia?
And no I'm not gonna give her 200K at once. :nonono: At least not yet. :chuckle:

So... I just ordered some rosemary extract and trace minerals. I've been spraying her with lavender water every time we wash her hair for years (since whenever you recommended it.). Just recently we both laughed as I said, "I dunno if this is doing anything at all but at least it smells good".
This began several years ago... I :dunno: maybe 5-7 years. The loss had stopped & the breakage improved up until just a week or so ago. She's seen 2 different 'doctors' about it and all they wanna do is prescribe kemikill ffutses or suggest wigs. :no: Her thyroid checked out fine at those times.
She eats :cow: tho not very often. She also eats shrimp & fish & chicken tenders :chuckle: She eats way way WAY more of all that than us with it primarily coming from Mom's tho when we are out & about I encourage her to eat whatever she wants (within pancreas limits).
Her nails are quite deformed from birth. Remember, she has tiny hands & her nails are barely even nails...just teensy (pencil lead width) spots on her hands that she picks at incessantly. To the point that I've threatened (not seriously) to have them surgically removed. Her toenails are the same way except more than one of them is curved backwards making trimming really really hard.
I'm not gonna find any help around here in a diagnosis PLUS Jacki absolutely positively does not want to talk about nor admit that her hair is thin so it's extra challenging (nigh impossible) to address the issue with her present :sigh: It's beyond thin on top now.
I am just so thankful that she isn't stressed or bothered about it. :hail:
There is some sort of connection to her overall beingness tho cuz I noticed at Friends Life that pretty much ALL of the students (Adults with disabilities) had thinning hair or were bald. Male and female. And out in public I see the same thing...older disabled women all seem to have extremely thin hair.
But tells me why that since I am the only true vegetarian, mostly vegan, one in the family my hair is again quite thick (dense). I got it trimmed just yesterday & the stylist commented again on how much & how healthy my hair is, especially for my age. It's still red, too. :nana:
Happy First day of Winter & most importantly... Return of the LIGHT!!! :bliss: :sparkle: :bliss: :sparkle: :bliss:
Oh & yeah...the :sun: light thingy is what makes me think J's SUDDEN fally outness might improve with more D3.

"Her nails are quite deformed from birth."
That's not a problem you are looking for changes such as white spots, ridges horizontal or vertical as well as iffen they are more or less brittle. You can see that in her regular non-thinning hair too but you will need to noes how to does more like measure a stretched wet hair and or how to make a "hair hygrometer". Hair has numerous speeshul properties like being able to stretch 30% when wet without deforming.
It may sound silly but how far it stretches when wet tells you how well it was built :yes: How it curlz and shrinks lengthens based on humidity gives you an easy assessment of the sulfur containing amino acids too :yes:
Um yeah buying a bunch of supplements is great 'n all in that throw eberythang at a problem and hopes it goes away :bye: mentality :yes: BUT you'd prolly be better off changing her diet :yes:
Iffen eberybody ate the way you did most would be dying :yes: for realz there are Zero healthy vegetation only diet peoplez. The problem is some people only need a few eggs and :cheese: to be healthy-ish and people thinxz that's all EBERYONE needz and it's not :nono:

Hair :afro: requires a lot A LOT of protein espeeshully Lysine plus many of the cholesterol based hormones are needed ... then there's the whole iron, Zinc and ALL the B vitamins and atleast half of those B vitaminz are not happening on a shrubbery based diet :nono:
There's also stress and illness related hair loss and even changing ones diet can induce hair loss not to mention the gut biome :blob: :mushrooms:

Anywho two thangs to does is :hello: Jello :bump: and vitamin C :bump: ... FYI yes I am an uber C doser :yes: but I'm also purty sure the recommended dosing by the NIH is :carp: :unthumbs: According to siguie {yes that's just me :sigh: } the RDA and this is minimum dosing should be atleast 400mg for anyone even close to being an adult AND only for those in doog overall health :yes: lesser doog health needz more :oz:

Them had steak. I had veggies-on-a-stick. Plus we made a coconut cake & big giant fruit salad.
And no, sig, none of them practitioners said anything other than "hair loss" and "it's real common". :sigh:
It does sound much like TE tho. :yes:
It looks like :santa: has been here. :eek: :faint: And it looks like J has gotten the TV she asked for... :chuckle: ...along with a whole lotta other :carp:

The weather is unusually mild. In the 50s. Gonna be pretty much like that through the new year. It's about 15 to 20 degrees above average for this time of year. I'm sure Jan/Feb will make up for it.. It always does. :shiver:

The toys are so much more cool than they were a generation ago. :happydance: J & I still play with them in the toy aisle. :rofl:
And she still loves anything Paw Patrol. :yes:
So we wound up playing in traffic yesterday. :rofl:
Axshully, first I made :bean: soup whilst :b: did online research.
Then he bought it & we had to go to Jackson to pick it up. :no: :bsl:
For a good while now his tablet has been dying... he had an old school ipad Air which is unsupported & was ineffective.
AND...his/our laptop has been gimpy for ages as well. It's a 10+ year old Toshiba.
He wasn't able to do the annual photo print-out for Mom this year due to faulty equipment. :sigh:
So I says, "No...you absolutely cannot have a new laptop AND tablet". :hysterical:
So he finds a Lenova Yoga. :huh: A laptop that also serves as a tablet. :cheer:
And it was on sale at Best Buy for $499...regularly $750. So he bought it online & we went to pick it up.
We also went into Hobby Lobby. :uhoh: ALL the craftiest crafter-types were swarmed in the massive Christmas clearance ffuts.
The lady in front of us in line had $200 worth of fake garlands & :carp: all at 66% off.
We bought 1 Peanuts mug :chuckle: and J gotted some canvasses to paint that are refrigerator magnets, a Paw Patrol stuffed and a Paw Patrol paint kit. :rofl: She had Christmas monies that just had to be spent. :rofl:
But it was fun.
Especially since we didn't hafta axshully wade into the crowds anywhere.
Boy oh boy tho the :fullmoon: energies.... AND the spectacular HUGE :fullmoon: herself. :wubsigh:
Jacki was quite fiery & emotional all day as B continued to push her :button: s.
And then last night she was Chatty Cathy. :blah: :blah: :blah: Non-stop. :spitcoffee:

K the wildflower Lego thingy is super cool. :righton:
And I am the fun unkle. :drama: I gotted our 2 year old great-niece a 6' long piano mat! :cheer:
They sent a video of her walking on it. :happydance:
SO the old Toshiba has been only running a slide show for um...many years. It's also a favorite cat bed but I discovered that a baking sheet would cover the keyboard completely so now they lay on that. :chuckle:
We has 2 monitors & from where I sit right now I sees 2 different photos at once.
Anyway.... he absolutely loves the Lenovo right now. :yes:
Elsewise....our first real winter weather is at our doorstep. :shiver: Even the possibility of :snowball: tomorrow.
But I saw what looked like 2 hurrycanes on satellite. :scared: They were right off the PNW coast. :uhoh:
The nearest one to the chore was quite large...the other was it's baby, seemingly. :crazy:
It's not Pineapple Express time yet is it? :huh:

Omg I saw a video of a rogue wave in Ventura that sent 8 peoples to the hopsickle! :faint:
You got big waves up your way? :sofa:
And True Fun Unkle. :check: War. :woe:
So....guess who's got covid now? :eek:
Yep...Jacki. :sigh: And Mom's been sick for 2 days but hasn't tested (Why? she says :roll: ) so surely it's covid as well.
Mom was coughing yesterday so gotta keep tabs on her. J was mostly zombified with a bad headache but I've never seen an instant test so slearly positive before. :nonono: I thunk it wouldn't work cuz she doesn't really have any excess mucous but boy oh boy the line was clear & present. :yes:
B & I are fine so far. :wig: :gle:
Zen Aunt was bummed thinking she gave it to us & I says, "You know, we were with 5K+ peoples on Saturday".
Mom is just mad cuz she gotted the flu & covid shots. :chuckle:

Not a doog way to end a year nor start the next :sigh:
J's test sample was prolly more concentrated 'cuz the virus "sheds" at a more or less constant rate.
Definitely keep tabs on BOTH and use the stethoscope to check for crackliness :uhoh:
And as always colloidal silver :yes: it wont "cure" covid but it can certainly help prevent secondary infection like from mycoplasma :blob: :whistle:
Iffen durtmomma keeps complaining just let her noes that ... iffen she has covid ... her current :electrocute: state: :rimshot: is somewherez between a quarter and half as bad as it woulda :bean: AND she should be better many :daisy: sooner :yes:
Of course the inerestin thang is after the 2nd or 3rd shot there's very little change in the numbers of hopsikilizations ... just severity ... which I thinxz is still worth the (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif)
Also srsly :check: for crackles :yes: the covid makes secondary infections more likely and mycoplasma pneumoniae :blob: effects between 2 and 3 million in the US each year AND there is a :bump: in Ohio and New Hampshire which are reasonably far away BUT tanassi is a major interstate hub :no:
BTW Now is a doog time to :bump: Zinc and vit.C for all including ZA :oz:
SO ... :whatever: ... after nearly 2 years I finally sold Dad on the idea he should has more D3 along with K2 :yes:
For years and years he always took 400 IU D3 with Calcium 'cuz it :bump: s absorption and he is a very pale english gent ... but he finally researched the K2 aspect himself and decided ... yup it does appear to be true that K2 :bump: s health in conjunction with D3 :yes: That and eber since I transitioned him from yucky multi vites :yucky: to gummy vitamins and mineralz he's noticed an improvement in his lab werks :thumbs: AND I pointed out that one of the :bump: s is likely that his gummies are 2000 IU D3 along with 100mcg K2 8)
Anywho, he's agreed to two new thangs which I just happened to has 'cuz it's what I'm playing with and from Amazon those thangs are ...
Vitamin D3 50,000 IU Plus K2 (MK-7) 200 mcg (https://amzn.to/3trz9Vv) <= Amazon Link
K Complete - High Potency Vitamin K1, K2 MK-7 & MK-4 (https://amzn.to/3REEjWe) <= Amazon Link
These are NOT gummies but they is small easy to swallow soft gels :yes: The main reason I mention this here is iffen you really really want to :bump: vit.D levelz it's tricky and potentially dangerous and this is what I'm doesing now. Yes, I does have my own powdered D3 tabs mixed with Benfotiramine but it 'tweren't enough and there's not much research on MK-4 which is the other K2 BUT it's also the more common one in :cow: so I thunked it a dooger idea :angel:
FYI: 10,000 IU of vit.D is 250mcg ... this amount of vit.D appears to play well with 100mcg of K2 so I try to keep that 2.5 to 1 ratio :oz:
Ok now the tricky bit BOTH are oil soluble vitaminz ... this means iffen you overdose on D3 it can take weeks to months to recover.
That said "Active" vitamin D has a half life of about 15h ... and no D3 is not the active form.
The K vitaminz are also fat soluble BUT so far there's no clear toxic levelz ... atleast that I'm awarez of :dunno: Anywho K2 hangs around for ~3 days :angel:
The tricky bit is matching the amounts need while they are used at different rates :pullhair: The worst part is that the key appears to be liver health :hmm2: In particular fatty liver or not ... for the most part K2 toxicity can be ignored atleast that's what I'm doesing :yes: However, vitamin D toxicity or atleast the chances of it occurring appears to be tied to the liver :drama:

So if I buy the D3 (we just ran out of the one we had) with K2 then does I still need the K Complete? :scratch:
So Jacki had NO fever yesterday :happydance: She had a wicked headache the first part of the day but then it subsided.
All I gave her (besides elderberry syrup) was an alka seltzer plus at about 10AM. She never needed anything else. :happydance:
She stayed up all day long after having been awake for only 3 hours the day before. She has minimal congestion, no runny nose and no cough. She ate normally & seemed absolutely fine at bedtime. :)
Mom on the other hand has had TONS of sneezing, runny nose, blowing & coughing & says the worst part is how sore her ribs & nose are from coughing & blowing. :sigh: She doesn't think she's had a fever but hasn't checked :sigh: and for whatever reason she's avoided the covid test & still claims it's just a cold...tho it's not. :crazyeyes: Tho teck :nickel: y it IS a corona virus. :chuckle:
B & I are perfectly fine. :wig: :gle:
Boy oh boy I saw videos of your ocean looking quite um...agitated. :scared: :umbrella:
The wave at Ventura Beach was ykaerf for real. :horror:
:pey: This year is almost over. :cheer:
Axshully, we've had a really doog year even tho the rest of the world has been falling apart. :earthhug:

"So if I buy the D3 (we just ran out of the one we had) with K2 then does I still need the K Complete? :scratch: "
Completely yer call :yes: There's no sufficiently doog research on how muches K2 is needed :nono: It's entirely possible {even quite likely} there is no relation for a needed ratio of K2 to D3 and all you really need is some minimal level of K2 and you can has all the D3 that you want after :dunno:
Likewise there is no definitive research concerning MK-4 vs MK-7 and the whole Calcium relation neether :nono: The thang is this is ALL really REALLY new ffuts ... I just posted what I has and is using. MK-4 is the type of K2 found in :cow: muskle tissue while MK-7 is in :cheese: That said clinical studies are another matter and it "looks" to me like MK4 is more betterer BUT :idunno:
All together now :wheee: ... I am taking that particular Amazon K2 supplement because it's uber dosing vitamin K1 which is doog but not really part of this discussion and MK-4 1,000 mcg and MK-7 only 100 mcg. I just wanted to see iffen I noticed any difference and I of course has a siguie theory about it plus I also has other sources of MK-7. So "NO" you Do NOT need to purchase both :nono: or either really :dunno: I'm just giving this ffuts to Dad :cheer:
Brace yerself 'cuz this will come as a shock :scared: I don't actually post all my testing {espeeshully the stoopid ffuts ... mostly ...} nor all of the siguie theories neether :no: 'tis true :therethere:
Basically a ratio of 2.5 to 1 of D3 to K2 respectively appears to be safe at ALL levelz of D3 that I've seen. This may just mean that max K2 levelz were hit afores the OD levelz for D3 :dunno: In more commoner parlance 10,000 IU D3 paired with 100mcg K2 is generally safe at any quantity used BUT this is all new :oz:
Oh and MK-4 in muskle tissue ... amemberz I taughted the advanced neurokemystery classes in college ... there are lots of Calcium in muskles :flex: ... it binds to troponin and allows actin and myosin to does ffuts then add in action potentials and ion pumps to the (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dancers3.gif) and :boom: muskle contraction is achieved :cheer:
It's very cool 'n all :yes: and I has no clue iffen MK-4 is even involved :dunno: but it might be so there could be an advantage against sarcopenia or just growding more :flex: So as long as Dad is willing to take it :thumbs:
FYI: MK-4 is less well absorbed compared to MK-7 but I already werked out a few fixes for that 8)
Did I mention in addition to kale :yucky: and gummy supplements I also gotted Dad addicted to siguie brand coconut oatmeal :angel: In addition to um certain regulatory factors that he appreciates :whistle: it also contains powdered MCT oil {C8 and C10} with what they call "prebiotic" though it's just gum arabic aka acacia fiber which is a soluble fiber :bump:
Basically without him freaken out :frantic: I transitioned him from Pescatarian towards a more ketovoric diet. Definitely NOT ketovore BUT more meat and thanxz to my ketone breathalyser I noes he wakes up with his keto engine running. This means some level of autophagy AND he has noticed improved sleep quality which is why he is happy :angel:
He's slooowly figuring out what I doned BUT is rather happy that he isn't always cold and doesn't have to eat disgusting supplements :angel:
Yeah J ack i :cheer: :happydance:
:check: on durtmomma it's less about the symptoms and more about the length of time they are present. The problem with high A1c is it means generally high blood sugar and :blob: s and :mushrooms: can start growding in the lungs more easily ... hence the risk AND why ya wants to :buttkick: the thang as soon as possible :yes:
:check: her temp and does a crackle listen :yes: BUT don't push her :button: s on covid testing :nono: there's no point and tanassi peoplez Apparently 1 prefer beleebing in :basementcat: over covid :roll:
"Boy oh boy I saw videos of your ocean looking quite um...agitated. :scared: :umbrella: "
Yeah there are evacuation orders all around siguie manor but not here :happydance:

I feel inexplicably good. :happydance: As if nothing can knock me off my :cloud9:
Of courses, I'm old enough to know that that can change at any moment. :rofl: :nickel:
But for now, I ride the Happytrain! :hysterical:
Vitamin C :bump: :check:
So Family Lore says that 'whatever you do on New Years's Day is what you will do the most of all year'. :scared:
I slept til 8:20 this morning! :scared: Cannot do that all year. :rofl:
I noes the Lore is not true cuz in younger years I was horribly hungover on New Year's Day & I didn't stay hungover the whole year. :rofl: I think it's more a reminder to do more of what you love. :yes:
Tso.... Japan :shera: 7.6 :quake: with significant damages in Western Japan...Honshu area.

Quote from: SpaceweatherMAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a major X5-class solar flare. It is the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25 (so far) and the most powerful eruption the sun has produced since the great storms of Sept. 2017. The underlying sunspot is a giant, and it is turning toward Earth with more flares in the offing. :no: Follow this story @ Spaceweather.com.
:tinhat:
Downgraded :quake: to 7.5 BUT Alexa still sez it's an 8.9 :faint: It was also reasonably shallow :uhoh: plus lots of aftershocks atleast one I sawed was a 6.2 :horror:
On the plus side Japan has well built buildings no doubt due to Godzilla 'n friends so the devastation shouldn't be bad unlike China's 6.2 quake that everyone else seez as 5.9 which has destroyed thousands of homes :horror:
"Happy New year! :gstars: "
Back atcha :elvis: :siguie:
"But for now, I ride the Happytrain! :hysterical: "
That's spelled Crazytrain ... just so ya noes :matt:
I is feelin the doog too :bliss: though it is post :rain: and the :sun: is out fer now :cheer:
I gotted an email from Dad ... there's a :psifly: in the house and he couldn't figure out how the :electrocute: flyswatter was supposed to werk. I asplained and Apparently 1 he is quite pleased with the the :electrocute: capability :hysterical:
Fambily lore :check:
Pretty sure that was just someones clever ruse to get out of doesing any cleaning :thumbs:
My personal tradition was the breaking of any and all new year resolutions in order to git the year started off with a clean slate :thumbs:
Doog timez :wubsigh:
Anywho overall the number of New Year's deaths and citations are way down :thumbs: though prolly the :shiver: and :rain: plus covid 2.0 or is it 3.0 now :scratch: ... anywho them thangs prolly played a role :yes:
In other newses ... I'm thinking of transitioning psifly into Wordpress :no: ... no it has no effect on this board :nono: Basically I don't want to move eberythang over to a VPN :sofa: AND Wordpress is what the serverhost company is PUSHING :pullhair: Anywho the doog news is I git 3 domain installs One for psifly.com then number Two for thesacredgrove.com and number 3 prolly for ghostalk.xyz :matt:
The thang is Wordpress is meant for people with little or no coding knowledge :wall: which completely sucks for me :suck: BUT ya noes Wordpress is closer to Wix than regular website coding so how does ya feelz about a new project :popcorn:
Wix vs Wordpress <= Forbes Article
:share:
Anywho, just thinkin ... the "Support" peoplez at Bluehost literally cannot does anythin that isn't Wordpress :wall: and I've been slooowly dismantling ffuts to keep the site running anyways ... yeah eberytime they "upgrade" they fail to account for sumthin I built :sigh: So as long as they insist on Wordpress perchance 2024 is the year to make them regret making me change :fist: :muaha: THAT and I has atleast 2 additional free websites so might as well use them :angel:

I totally forgot about sacredgrove. :ashamed:
We've spent the past few days talking about retirement. :wiggle: It seriously looks like we can swing it quite comfortably. :yes:
We've been fine-tooth combing the financials & it's a very real possibility. We'd hafta get Obamacare but that's not a big deal...the insurance we had through the Marketplace before was BC/BS & covered more with less out-of-pocket & far less premium than what he's offered through work. :yes:
:dunno:
We may be changing things up. Again :bsl:
B also is gonna talk to his workplace about the possibility of part-time or consultant-type work cuz they are such a tiny factry & have more flexibility. But if we can make an extra 20K (app the SS max allowed) per year we can invest that $$ for later years or even invest in the property. :yes:
We gots goals. And outlined plans. :broccoli: We want our Dance Hall & nursery to look like they did in 2014, except betterer. :check: And now that we are WTFPB...mostly... even B finally sees the value in growing most our own doof. :leisa:
And then (most likely next year) we shall sell :tomato: and peeper plants (mostly) in the :spring: and perennials & shrubs & native trees pretty much year round. :yes: And then...talking a year+ from now... a website would be fabulous. Tho, I begrudgingly admit that a FB page might be more effective. :sigh: :dunno:
Oh & :sparkle: :vibes: :sun: :sebiv: :sparkle: :aaahhh: :tinhat: :sofa:
And Japan... :gheart: I saw where this morning there was a passenger airbus that collided with a Japanese coast guard plane (carrying :quake: supplies) and burst into flames. :boom: Thankfully, all the jet passengers got out safely but I believe there were 5 killed on the coast guard plane.

:yes: We've discussed numerous upgrades & improvements. :yes:
But the :crazy: thing is that we would likely have more $$ if he retires than now. Especially is he can work there still part-time...tho there is a Paris nursery he'd like to part-time at as well... :whistle:
What we didn't know til recently is that when he files for SS then I will get half of his age 67 max as "spousal" SS and Jacki will get the same as ADC (adult disabled child) so his SS amount will effectively double. :cheer: Then...you can earn about 20K without jeopardizing the payments... and/or IF we make a lots of monies somehow one can simply press pause on the SS payments. :check:
So why would he stay at a boj if he can make more not working? :scratch:
And he's 63. :wiggle: And we noes how it increases each year. :yes:
The 'more internetting' via website &/or FB connection to him retiring is significant. :yes:
There is a LOT of daily work here involving, pets, people & plants & when he's home he takes a LOT off of my plate leaving me time so say...write. :yes: Everything is easier & better when he's home full-time. :yes: I could even get a fun part-time boj cuz he would be here with Jacki. :whistle:
And speaking of plants we're about to radically increase the amount of plants in this house. :scared: :happydance:
Gonna start some flowers, as well as the usual peepers & maters & suches, in the guest room which is already pretty full of tropicals. :rofl:
Oh get this.... yesterday afternoon there was a knock at the veranda door. :eek: Tis a rare occurrence. :chuckle:
Anyway it was Seth. :yes: Seth had the prettiest smile :chuckle: But Seth is the team leader of the digger crew who are going to lay our fiber optic cable today! :happydance: Then shortly we should get a call to schedule the inside installation. :yes:
We're gonna has a modem! :happydance: Haven't had one of those thingies in quite some time. :chuckle:
And we're gonna learn to stream. :rofl: K, there's no learning curve...just gotta pick our poison so we can ditch the stoopy spensive Directv. :cheer:

Srsly devices like tablets and phones can purty much handle as much bandwidth as they need for their resolutions BUT laptops or REAL computers need a wifi dongle OR dedicated wifi board :thumbs: my AT&T is claimed up to 100Gbs but is really just 1Gbs unless you pay way morez ... which is fine when most built in wifi is only 300mbs or less.
Anywho the point is my computer sports a speeshul 1200Mbps, 5GHz/2.4GHz wifi dongle so I can download files 4 times faster than nermal or about half my allocated speed :oz:
Oh also git durt momma an Amazon show of some type and you can does drop-ins and it's very cool when both sides have fast interweb. Plus you can ditch yer phone for a real fake phone ... ya noes one that you operate yerself :bliss: Srsly I has no clue why people pay for phone service when they is already paying for interweb :woe:

Srsly devices like tablets and phones can purty much handle as much bandwidth as they need for their resolutions BUT laptops or REAL computers need a wifi dongle OR dedicated wifi board :thumbs: my AT&T is claimed up to 100Gbs but is really just 1Gbs unless you pay way morez ... which is fine when most built in wifi is only 300mbs or less.
Anywho the point is my computer sports a speeshul 1200Mbps, 5GHz/2.4GHz wifi dongle so I can download files 4 times faster than nermal or about half my allocated speed :oz:
Oh also git durt momma an Amazon show of some type and you can does drop-ins and it's very cool when both sides have fast interweb. Plus you can ditch yer phone for a real fake phone ... ya noes one that you operate yerself :bliss: Srsly I has no clue why people pay for phone service when they is already paying for interweb :woe:
Websiting or facepalming shouldn't be related to retirement :woe: yer thinxzing of it as werk that needz doesing ... it should be just a short setup period followed by typing :blah: :blah: :blah: as the mood strikes :yes: Srsly iffen it feelz like werk then yer doesingit wrong OR are just doesing it to earn some bucks.

I don't think of writing or webbing as work. I think of it as time. It's TIME that :b: will give back to me by helping with the workload around here. If I sit to write now... I'm neglecting something else that needs to be done. :yes:
Anyway, we are bit by bit renovating the entire house (18 years of hard living :chuckle: ) & de-cluttering & streamlining so the upkeep is not so daunting. B is a 'stuff' person. But lately he's finally recognizing how much effort it takes (me!) to do simple chores such as dusting. And we make alotta dust. :chuckle: And by 'stuff' I'm mostly referring to family heirloom kinda ffuts that has little monetary value such as figurines :yucky: and glassware made for displaying and not using as well as much more. That's on top of the 100+ messy plants in here. I :wub: the plants...mostly. :chuckle: I would downsize there as well & I figger we will when we sell some.
And why you think we don't have chunks of money stashed away?
Speaking of toys...
I just gotted a Lodge 5.5 qt enameled cast iron dutch oven & I love it so much I gotted a 3 qt, too. I also gotted a carbon steel giant skillet and a super size Calphalon saute pan that may just replace my 40 year old wok. :happydance:
So then... I had to buy a rack upon which to store all the new cookware. :woe:
It's apposta be here Saturday.
Yes, the Blue Diamond :carp: was :carp: and I am truly sorry for the landfill additions. :sigh:
But seriously, what a difference a pan (or pot) makes! :happydance: Especially when cooking sans oil.
Tho I did oil the skillet after washing as instructed. :chuckle:
Our internet installation is scheduled for tomorrow! :elfparty:
1 Gbps is what we're apposta have. :yes:
And we has no phone other than cell phones. I don't know anybody with a land line any more. :nonono:
Amazon show? :scratch: For Mom? :huh: She has an old dumb TV that only watches David Muir (ABC news), Jackson news, Dancing with the Stars & RFDTV. :hysterical: And she has an IPad that only view Facebook & Youtube tho she mostly Facebooks on the phone now. But speaking of phones...day after Christmas she screwed hers up so bad that it wouldn't work as a phone at all.
After numerous attempts I called Zen Aunt who went to check on her (ZA lives half a mile from Mom). That's when we found out about the phone mess. I still don't know quite what happened but ZA was able to puzzle it out & get it back to phoning. :crazyeyes:
So the Social Security thingy is NOT screwed up it's a well-earned payment for a life of sacrifice. to some degree. :yes:
The reason we gets more is becuz of having an ADC...Adult Disabled Child... and I almost cried when I found out cuz truly only peoples in similar boats can understand the financial strain when one parent is a full-time caregiver.
We've been preparing to live on his SS alone... So to find out that we shall receive nearly double (180% ) as a family is pretty awesome. :cheer:
But now... I gotta go research :heart: watches. :yes: I know...you recommended that ages ago.
But B has been having arrhythmia lately (with low normal BP) and tachycardia (with 99% O2).
Anyway, we need a record for his doctor cuz if this continues he may need an ablation.
And yes, that is another reason to speed up retirement. :) He's already given a head's up to his boss & told him "possibly within the next 6 months" so he can find a replacement. He's also offered to stay & train the newbie as well.

:doh: Srsly :gaah: try going back to FULL Dr.E doof protocol espeeshully the sans oily. Also Do NOT decide on ablation catherterizing :electrocute: ffuts without getting a clear idea of the blockaded states ... srsly ALL of them. This is espeeshully true iffen the arrhythmia is Afib ... 'cuz most times no one really noes why :dunno:
Anywho Afib in particular is well known to occur ~3 times {2.8} more frequently in those who are "malnourished" but even worser is even more likely in those with bradycardia :horror:
Anywho the watch idea is great for catching irregularties afores symptoms occur but he'll be wanting/needing something
more like ... EKG Monitor (https://amzn.to/3TOG4md) <= Amazon Link
K some of these devices require an app on the phone to work. Some are stand alone and can plug into computers or phone apps and others have their own receiver. Then there are the ones that can be worn underneath clothing and the ones that you need to touch with your fingers. These are ALL thangs to consider ... the watch thangs are Great in their own right BUT these standalone devices are far more sensitive and able to determine the wave form more betterer :angel:
Personal ekg ecg monitor (https://amzn.to/3NQRSRo) <= Amazon Link List
K I'm not "recommending" you git this one BUT it's the kind of thang I've considered getting :yes: EMAY Portable ECG Monitor (https://amzn.to/4aHH0yS) <= Amazon Link
It's a standalone device, that's small and can be used with nothing else BUT can also interface with a phone app or even better a PC computer :yes:
The only downside is you need to wait and feelz an event afores using it. A "doog" watch would let you noes afores you notice the event occurring. This would have been best to alert for an angina attack ... in general watches will not work as well for arrhythmia's ... OR yer buying a high end apple watch :unthumbs:
Personally I'd like to see the EKG plots afores and after :yes: there is a distinct possibility that B's arrhythmias are unrelated to clogginess ... also the greatest factor in development of afib appears to be low cholesterol in particular HDL.
Ok enough of that ... :bliss:
Ooooh you finally has doog pans :happydance:
K one thang to keep in mind with ceramic cast iron ... they is basically glass coated iron so iffen yer not using oil try not to overheat and throw wet doof in 'cuz they can crack AND Do NOT tap on the sides with yer spatoola or whatever :nono: Metal toolz tappin on the top edge is like a hammer chipping away at a rock ... eventually it's gonna chip :no:
That said you need an induction cook top :yes: it will literally save you a LOT of money on :electrocute:
Prolly even more important ... git a nice ~$20 ish Bam :boo: cutting board :yes: Larger than you thinxz you need but not so heavy that you cannot move the whole thang with doof on it :angel: I use a polymer board BUT I also use a cleaver for eberythang AND I noes how to reform the surface with :heat:
Srsly a doog knife paired with a doog board :bliss2:
Of course it goes withut sezing that the knife needs to be siguie brand stoopid sharp :thumbs: When using a razor sharp cleaver EBERYTHANG cuts like butter :om:

:spitcoffee:
I was struggling to figger out what a BAM :ghost: cutting board was & when I started to google I got to bamg... and then it hit me! :brick: BOO! :spitcoffee: :boo: not :ghost:
Yes, I will does that. My cutting boards are just about cut out. :rofl:
And thanks for the cautionaryisms.... I've been trending downward with the heat dials for some time now but with the new ffuts I've lowered it even more. And for my bday B gotted me a whole set of plastic utensils with metal handles. :righton:
Would you beleeb I've never owned a spaghetti spoon/server? :faint: I've found it perfect for scooping out portions of :peas: or similar veggies that you want to strain before serving. :happydance:
So yes, he already ordered the kardiamobile & I believe it arrives today. He paid for it with his HSA. :check:
Becuz he really needs the read-out & recorded data. :yes: So it was Kardiamobile or a smate watch that cost several hundred $$ and still requires a phone nearby.
Ya know, he's never had a 'bad' EKG 'in house'. Not in the ER nor doctors' offices. And therefore he's deemed "fine". :chuckle:
I think he just binged way too much over Christmas vacay. But there's also some underlying somethin causing it.
Probably the bradycardia as you mentioned.
Yesterday he moved the weight bench out of the bedroom & into the 'gym'. A corner of the living room which now has the exerbike, mini tramp & now weight bench. He says he's gonna get serious about getting in gooder shape. He looks a lot fitter than he prolly really is. :chuckle: Funny, he's always been quite strong & builds muskel easily...but he's always shunned cardio workouts.
And no worries, I already reined him way way in & he was in agreement. Soon as we were done holidaying.
The other night I made spinach & :mushrooms: quesadillas with my tofu sour cream as the only 'dairylike' & he said it was "outstanding". :faint: I also made the first Mexican rice that was palatable thanks to my new cookware. :yes: I think the key to doog Messican rice is browning the rice (in oil...old days) much like Rice-a-roni & without that step the rice gets too mushy.
I cooked it in the large dutch oven & it axshully toasted the rice fairly well without any oil at all. :happydance:

:chuckle: I thunked Bam :boo: was akin to mortifying yer spices :hysterical:
I has some disposable boards just so I can chop a few thangs and not has to clean the main big one other than that I has my BIG polymer board and a "hooked" counter top chopping block made of Bam :boo: The polymer lives on what is supposed to be a kitchen "pull-out" board but it's too small :unthumbs: so the polymer board overhangs all sides by about 4 inches. The counter top board is the one I can put a lot more force on and actually use for chopping through :cow: bones :flex: The hook is a 1 inch overhang so it stays on the edge of the counter, it also has a 1 inch rise at the back which makes it handy for kneading bread 'cuz the back stops the flour from goesing eberywherez :frantic:
All other "cutting boards" have been :buttkick: ed into the garage 'cuz I HATE the stoopid little thangs :pullhair: Oh and Bam :boo: is purty much the only natural material that lasts more than a year without serious maintenance AND doesn't screw up edges :yes:
"Would you beleeb I've never owned a spaghetti spoon/server? :faint: "

:doh: I completely fergetted :ashamed: there's a big :bump: in arrhythmias as post-covid complications. Iffen you had covid "bad" there's anything from 25% to 50% of developing post covid arrhythmia that can last days to months. Google "SUDDEN Cardiac Death in China" and you'll git an idea of the magnitude.
I stopped following covid regular likes a looong while agoes BUT there is a number of tie-ins based on age and related health conditions. Ya might wanna has a look at those too. :angel:
Thang is the spike protein the bit where the mRNA vaccines were developed have a cardiac bias that is not clearly unerstood ... so yeah even the covid vaccine could be the causative agent but a post covid symptom seems more likely :yes: Espeeshully iffen he was infected with th EG.5 or JN.1 :horror:
Oh yeah Rice-a-roni ... there's actually a fair bit of sighernce involved in that :thumbs: though tech :nickel: ly it's a "pasta rice pilaf" ... take a look at Korean Nurungji ... it's basically a delicious form of "scorched" rice :yes: The trick is getting it at the yellow to light brown ... beyond that it's basically like eating a briquette :yucky:

So derangement. :rofl: Solly, but deranged often refers to the :crazy: :brain:
I just told him that getting his blood calcium checked (as well as other things) is a priority. :check:
And I read him the whole bits. :yes:
And yes, covid. :sigh: It's altered most of us in some way or another, hasn't it? :eek:
.
He ordered the kardiamobile before you saided anything. :yes: It will be better than nothing & fine for awhile. :yes:
And I dunno why but I thunk ablation was used to put the heart back in rhythm. But maybe that was arrhythmia that did not stop. :dunno: I'm thinking of an Uncle & a cousin but I was unfamiliar with :heart: ffuts at the time they were going through it.
This has happened before but oh so infrequently that I cannot recall even when.
And this reinforces why we both want him home...doing what he loves to does. :flowerom:
But realistically, we know it'll be 6 months to even a year. We'll know. :om:

"So derangement. :rofl: Solly, but deranged often refers to the :crazy: :brain: "
Yeah yeah like I can read :drama: Anywho the wurd arrange is from the ole military meaning to put in lines derange means to breakaway from a linear arrangement :oz:
Anywho the more or less complete term is cardiac metabolic derangement typically this term is used as a description of progressive :heart: failure BUT messed up Calcium levelz is an :electrocute: problem and not necessarily a progressive issue :nono:
"I just told him that getting his blood calcium checked (as well as other things) is a priority. :check: "
It's likely in his CBC or at the very least a standard metabolic panel. Also it was just a thang I thunked of when I recalled his teef issues (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) Also it's why siguie brand water has Calcium as part of the electrolytes :electrocute: and NOT just because it makes :coffee: taste betterer :whistle:
"He ordered the kardiamobile before you saided anything. :yes: It will be better than nothing & fine for awhile. :yes: "
Oh no worries it's fine ... it's one of those thangs where I has absolutely no need for one but still wants it :sigh: and it was that other style I had my eye on.

"And yes, covid. :sigh: It's altered most of us in some way or another, hasn't it? :eek: "
I noes isn't that so kool :happydance: ... such a simple virus but it effects smell, taste, lungs, kidney and :heart: and that's not even mentioning the littler thangs like hair :afro: and skin :mummy: :wubsigh: The minions are lucky I'm not a virologist :sigh:

Yes and No ... it's complicated ... espeeshully for B 'cuz his is an atypical case. His arteries are clean 'cept for calcified blockages ... this is relatively rare with the :egg: ception of athletes or otherwise fit individuals that :smokes:
For the most part the cause of arrhythmias are not known but since people with atherosclerosis tend to have poor :heart: muskles and cleaning out the arteries oftentimes fixes the arrhythmia it's a used procedure. The problem is B's :heart: muskle should be better than it was afores 'cuz he doesn't has sticky plaques AND afores his arrhythmia was related to the angina... which means it was more the :heart: going into panic mode :frantic: than just messing up the beat :rimshot:
I'm not sezing it cannot be blockage related :nono: nor that catheter :vibes: are not the best option ... just that it don't make sense to jump to worsening CAD based on what is a fairly common symptom that can easily be from many other thangs :oz:
And we gots :rain: :gaah: well atleast I gotted a doog image of the M42 galaxy between :cloud: s last night :yesss: ... I wanted to git Jupiter too 'cuz I should be able to resolve the ring bands BUT the atmosphere was too perturbed for a doog focus :sigh:
Yeah yeah like I can read :drama: Anywho the wurd arrange is from the ole military meaning to put in lines derange means to breakaway from a linear arrangement :oz:
Anywho the more or less complete term is cardiac metabolic derangement typically this term is used as a description of progressive :heart: failure BUT messed up Calcium levelz is an :electrocute: problem and not necessarily a progressive issue :nono:
"I just told him that getting his blood calcium checked (as well as other things) is a priority. :check: "
It's likely in his CBC or at the very least a standard metabolic panel. Also it was just a thang I thunked of when I recalled his teef issues (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) Also it's why siguie brand water has Calcium as part of the electrolytes :electrocute: and NOT just because it makes :coffee: taste betterer :whistle:
"He ordered the kardiamobile before you saided anything. :yes: It will be better than nothing & fine for awhile. :yes: "
Oh no worries it's fine ... it's one of those thangs where I has absolutely no need for one but still wants it :sigh: and it was that other style I had my eye on. The kardiamobile looks absolutely fine and as long as it werks with yer phone/tablet it's going to has a nicer easier to seez viewing window :thumbs:

And this...
The minions are lucky I'm not a virologist :sigh:
:spitcoffee:
And now, Chloe has covid. She's in Knoxville, amember? 4 1/2 hours from here.
Mom & her mom are wigging out cuz, well...she's the baby...tho she's 30 years old :chuckle:
But it seems her boss is a motherly type who is continually checking on her, and she's met a guy who is checking on her constantly... But her biggest symptom now is that her whole face hurts. Sinus, they tolded her. :yes:
Zen Aunt thinks she may be developing Long Covid cuz hers began a full week before Christmas & she still has crazy symptoms tho sporadically. :crazyeyes: All 3 of them, actually (Mom, J, & ZA) are seemingly fine one day then slip back the next.
Yes, it's a brilliant virus.
Do you know that Native American Shamanism considers "virus" an 'animal'. :yes: It is respected for it's ability to reproduce, mutate & survive . Admirable qualities for sure.
It's also fascinating how it affects different peoples & of course I wonder why? Like why didn't B & I get sick when we were with the other sickos 4 days in a row?
So this moment I noes two persons with verified flu, one with RSV (an elderly female), and 3 with covid. Another half dozen with unidentified sicknesses. :crazyeyes:
But I feel good. :excited: <=== James Brown. :afro: :righton:
So...we're streaming. :faint: And we have true unlimited high-speed internet for the first time in our lives! It.s still a bit shocking. :chuckle: We have 2 TVs, a laptop, a notebook, 3 phones, 2 tablets ALL connected at once! :faint:
Still gotta get Alexa going. :yes:
:earthheart:
But yes, :b: does not feel like his arteries are cloggy at all. :nonono: I read that bradycardia and age both seem to be factors.
His :heart: was deemed "perfect" after a whole day of testing & examining it tho that was over 2 years ago now.

I did the google thang & now it wants me to download an app so I can have a "customizable phone number in the :cloud: "
That's cool, but I doesn't yet see a use for it for me. :huh: I call Mom every day. Rarely call anyone else unless it's a business but that's rare too cuz if I can find what I need without calling I will does that always first.
And yeah, B & I were sickly over Thanksgiving vacay tho never had a positive covid test. :nonono: I tested 3x cuz of going to be with Mom. And I tested B once cuz he was snottier than me & he was negative. Jacki's more recent test was blatantly positive. :yes:
And no, we did not get the recent booster. Only Mom & ZA.
Matthew did not contract it even tho his Mom, Step-Dad & grandmother (ZA) all did & he was in very close proximity (sharing a back seat) for several hours when she first became sneezy.
As for virus, yes it was added by modern day shamans. :roll: There was an awesome site that I have since losted...they moved once & :bear: found them again & I figger it's somewhere on the interwebs still. It simply listed many many many creatures & 4 or 5 characteristics of each.
And yes I can 'think fibromyalgia' cuz that's likely what I had years ago....before it was named. :chuckle: I was in my early 20s & could not hold a blowdryer without using both hands. 12 years of pain & weakness & heavy prescription meds before I healed myself with vitamin C & B-complex....mostly. :righton: The pain is deep deep as in the bones but I hadded a bone scan at that time, too & all was fine. Obliviously. :asilly:
Funny, but I can't type obviously without thinking... obliviously comes automagically. :woe:
I've ruint myself. :spitcoffee:

The planet feels quite unsteady... wobbly even. All day yesterday, as well as today, I feel the waves. :luna:
I felt it strongly before Japan, too but neglected to post it. :sigh:
Before Japan tho both J & I had the unquenchable thirst that seems to come with larger :quake:
There's a big :butt: storm moving across the country now so that could be what I feels.
We're even forecast to gets a smattering of snow tomorrow. :snowball:

Oh there's so soooo many uses ... you just hasn't gotten there yet :therethere: I almost neber eber talks on the phone :nono: but I has atleast 5 numbers and Do NOT pay for a landline :muaha:
Iffen you use the app on yer Verizon pHone AND choose to use the call over wifi feature you wont use any minutes while talking to durtmomma when yer at home :angel:
The next thang is to set yer Verizon number as an ALL Call or "Linked" number. This means when yer google number rings it also rings yer phone iffen yer away from wifi.
By doing this you can GREATLY reduce yer Verizon needs and iffen you eber decide to go Data Only like moia 8) you don't need any different numbers. PLUS Google has the bestest anti-spam call system :thumbs: Srsly they does doog werk and unlike AT&T eberythang is FREE :happydance:
Also since most laptops and tablets and of course yer googley chromebook all have built in microphones those are ALL new phones :gstars: Srsly you espeeshully with the chromebook now has lots of options and potential :angel:
Yeah so here's the thang about ALL the 'recent' {year+} covid strains ... they are ALL more infectious than measels AND can only be stopped by N99 or better masks ... N95 is not doog enough AND this is only from the inhalation pathway there's also the eyes :horror:
In other wurdz unless yer in a bio suit YOU and EBERYONE yer with is infected has been infected and will become infected agin. It's just how these thangs werk :oz: Those who show no symptoms espeeshully after a known recent :egg: sposure are the ones who have had it recent enough to still have antibodies floating around. Additional :egg: sposure while you has antibodies means faster :guns: removal of the infection AND another :bump: to antibodies and T-Cells too :thumbs:
People git "BAD" colds flu when a virus can evade the antibodies as in sufficiently new strain OR when a secondary infection stresses the body. This is often why people :egg: sposed to covid test negative BUT can still has a nasty cold :cs: ... the tests are no longer very sensitive so unless yer body is fighting a new strain or you does the test at just the right time it wont be positive for covid :nono:
That said constantly fighting covid :guns: still puts stress on the body :yes: ... part of Mathews problem may include hist body constantly putting out antibodies to keep covid at bay :cleanse: and it's not fighting the :blob: s as well as it should ... though I'm still high 90% sure he has a digestive itis of some kind.
Yeah Diana {pHysics Girl} is/was literally unable to get out of bed which is really skeery :horror:
Anywho, currently :electrocute: :rimshot: there are a HUGE number of unasplained deaths, and symptoms which are generally coming back as covid PLUS sumthin else like covid + diabetes or covid + nutrient deficit etc. Like that mycoplasma pneumoniae has a strong link to covid PLUS vitamin A levels being low :uhoh:
Oh that's right a big BIG storm is headed kinda Pandora's way :uhoh: It looks like you are getting a glancing blow from the curling part too :norway:
We might start getting wynter soon :yes: ya noes perchance as early as next week :wiggle:
Did I mention Mundaze Kale :horror:

It's raining, raining, and raining! :umbrella:
We're under a :blowme: advisory but nothin too :windy: yet. :nonono:
And then SNOW!!! :bliss: this afternoon. No accumulation. :nonono:
Oh but I sawed negative numbers in the forecast for the weekend. :no:
That was on my phone & I don't even know where that weather comes from.
Accuweather shows single digits. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday nights but maybe it will trend upwards before then. :sparkle:
That's the craziest part of tryna grow ffuts here. :crazy: Tropical heat for 6+ months... then those crazy polar plunges that kill all the ffutses like crepe myrtles & certain cypresses & more. :sigh: I'm gonna hafta even bring in my potted greens & pansies...or maybe build them tent....better yet.
So I still don't see the need for a notebook googlephone. :rofl:
Verizon hasn't counted minutes for fee in years :roll:
Maybe later :dunno: Maybe not. :rofl:
I did get Alexa connected yesterday. :cheer:
And I moved our router, as far as I could anyway. It seems not to project very far.
The router is in the guest room (where the satellite came into the house) & they said, "Oh...no problem. You can put it anywhere & get good reception".
Wrong!
Before moving I had a weak signal in the kitchen/DR, medium in the LR, & strong in the guest room which is full of plants. :woe:
So I moved it from the far corner to the door which brought it 12-15' closer & it moved me up to medium here in the dinging room & strong in the living room. :crazyeyes:
70'. That's how long our house is. And the router barely reaches from one end to the other. :woe:
The regenerative medicine doctor Mom sees (going for follow up tomorrow) also treats long covid. :yes:
I don't know his protocol tho I bet vitamin C IVs are a part of it. :dunno:
None of the sickos in my fambily seem to care to seriously push fluids or take loads of extra C or B complex. :sigh:
It still somewhat stuns me at how peoples won't do the simple ffuts for themselves. :wiggle:
Boy oh boy it's wet out there! (now that it's daylight & I can see :rofl: ) The rain gauge is inside cuz I tend to forget & let the glass tube break when it freezes. :ashamed: This one is new & it's harder to find a 7" tube so it stays put til :spring:

It's raining here too :bliss: :umbrella:
I sure hope Pan & Clan are staying warmz :campfire:
Of course our :rain: is only 0.01 inches so far :roll:
Yeah you need a Weatherflow Tempest station they is AWESOME :happydance:
"So I still don't see the need for a notebook googlephone. :rofl:
Verizon hasn't counted minutes for fee in years :roll: "
Well iffen you don't want one don't git one BUT I has a few and they are :egg: tremely useful and nice to has since they is completely FREE :woohoo:
Are you planning on keeping Verizon with the Unlimited plans then :scratch: I only pay $15 for two phones one for me and the other is Dad's. It's entirely up to you but I figured you'd atleast try to save some bucks on the no longer or vastly less needed phone plans :dunno: PLUS iffen you eber did does a business you could has a business phone number :whistle: AND you can set the timez for when thangs go straight to voicemail :yes: Also you no doubt noticed that voicemail can be audio google changed to text and sent to yer email :oz:
Oh and Alexa can make calls too :yes: Of course once you setup an Alexa device over at Durtmomma's you'll want to git "Drop In" werken :yes: there's a bunch of security thangs to ok and ffuts BUT once setup you can drop in to :check: or chat or just call her Alexa device :angel:
Anywho as far as google voice on yer laptop or tablets ... just thinxz of it as potentially useful ... or just one of the thangs you don't noes but might need. I've gotten two separate urgent requests to set thangs up when it's far too late :sigh: They was both peoplez that were attending others in a hopsickle.

You want the power to be just barely enough to reach ebery corner of durt manor. More power than is needed is a waste AND it reduces the life of the router. Of course this is the main reason they leave the power to be too low. Most places rent you the router and don't want to replace it anytime soon :nono:
Also you has a metal roof now ... that's mostly a doog thang :yes: just make sure the router is NOT below the central apex ... where both sides angle down ... this can mess up some signals.
Srsly though if a router cannot even reach 70 feetz it's a dud :unthumbs: However, more likely yer devices are old and have week signal pickups and or are set to 5Ghz when they should be 2.4GHz :oz:

I sure hope Pan & Clan are staying warmz :campfire:
Of course our :rain: is only 0.01 inches so far :roll:
Yeah you need a Weatherflow Tempest station they is AWESOME :happydance:

Verizon hasn't counted minutes for fee in years :roll: "
Well iffen you don't want one don't git one BUT I has a few and they are :egg: tremely useful and nice to has since they is completely FREE :woohoo:
Are you planning on keeping Verizon with the Unlimited plans then :scratch: I only pay $15 for two phones one for me and the other is Dad's. It's entirely up to you but I figured you'd atleast try to save some bucks on the no longer or vastly less needed phone plans :dunno: PLUS iffen you eber did does a business you could has a business phone number :whistle: AND you can set the timez for when thangs go straight to voicemail :yes: Also you no doubt noticed that voicemail can be audio google changed to text and sent to yer email :oz:
Oh and Alexa can make calls too :yes: Of course once you setup an Alexa device over at Durtmomma's you'll want to git "Drop In" werken :yes: there's a bunch of security thangs to ok and ffuts BUT once setup you can drop in to :check: or chat or just call her Alexa device :angel:
Anywho as far as google voice on yer laptop or tablets ... just thinxz of it as potentially useful ... or just one of the thangs you don't noes but might need. I've gotten two separate urgent requests to set thangs up when it's far too late :sigh: They was both peoplez that were attending others in a hopsickle.

Oh man, I looked into logging into the router & it's like another language that I don't speak. :crazyeyes:
I'll call the company iffin it is a problem. :yes:
And yes, thanks I sees the potential with the googlephone so yes, maybe someday. :yes:
As for wunderground... I've used them for years. But truly, Mom lives 3.2 miles away & our rain amounts can vary by an inch or more. You knows we gets rain in inches, not hundredths of an inch. :chuckle: We measure tenths....whole tenths. :pie:
So it doesn't matter what the temperature nor precip amounts are in Podunk (there really is a place north of here named that :rofl: )...it won't be the same here.
And it's always chillier at Mom's (cooler in the :heat: ) tho she still has beautiful green (not blooming) petunias & roses & she is less likely to frost when we does.
So it's all an approximation. :yes:
But all forecasters see a loooong stretch of unnaturally cold for us. :sigh: Beginning Friday night when we dip into the 20s.
Um :hello: Powers-that-be.... we moved SOUTH for escape the cold. No more teens & single digits & especially no negative numbers, please!!
So...energies still... :wtf: :luna: :aaahhh: :jumpy: :splat:
:doh: New :moon: Tomorrow, I believe. Confirmed... 5:57 AM :elvis: time tomorrow. In Capricorn. Me. :drama:

Well THAT is the more useful part BUT there should be a GUI aka Graphical User Interface like in siGUIe :angel: And somewherez there will be sumthin that sez Transmitter Power :electrocute: though in the geek language it might look like "Tx" :oz:
Anywho mine was originally set to 42mW but goes up to atleast 1000mW I think it's actually 1250mW :scratch: so I :check: ed around siguie manor as well as across the street 'cuz I want to be able to deactivate siguie security afores I roll into the driveway. I ended up setting the power to 87mW ... 90mW woulda been fine too but there are some power levelz that create detectable feedback based on router placement. I thinxz it's a resonant cavity thang :scratch: .... same reason my cellphone don't werk inside siguie manor :gaah:
It looks like you can also swap channels and sometimez git a :bump:

That might be handy tho we pretty much know that if there's a frost advisory, we're gonna get it. :sigh:
And I cannot believe you paid TWO dollars for an app! :faint: Mr. Big Spender. :pie:
It does look looc tho. I checked it out & it axed if I want it on my chromebook or phone. :chuckle:
And...we boughted a google tv, to be picked up tomorrow. We done gone all googly. :rofl:
But google tv has by far the most built in apps, including Bally Sports which gives us Grizzlies.
I know, I know... :whatever: A TV is nothing more than a big puter monitor someone says. :whatever:
But some (most) of us likes & needs simplicity. :wiggle:
Mom went back to the regenerative clinic yesterday for follow up. She is doing so amazingly well. :cheer: Turned back the clock 10+ years. :yes:
Anyway, she doesn't go back unless she needs to & he actually says, "No offense but I hope I never see you again.". :chuckle:
He also said that the PRP injections won't reach full 'strength' (can't think of the 'right' word) until 6 months after injections. :yes:
So as they were quite slow (the doc is on vacay...we saw his nurse, Alex) I asked him about their long covid treatment (I was merely curious). So you have a high success rate? "Oh yeah, he says. Very much so". What is your top treatment? "Hyperbaric oxygen" he says. :clap: And IV immunity builders, he says without saying what they is. But the oxygen is the star of the show.
And I thought... Siguie right again. :yesss: :rofl: I'm not sure you ever mentioned it specifically for long covid, but I noes how you feels (thinks :p ) about it :wubsigh:
Thanks you for the router advice. :righton: I'm not sure how to get it at B's shoulder height without hanging it but maybe somehow I can gets it up higher than it is. As for signal going too far....not an issue here. :chuckle: Unless it goes more than 1/2 a mile. 1/4 mile to my cousin's house but they are signed up for installation as well. :yes:
Omg, the clod (I likes the typo cuz it reflects how I feel about cold :yes: ) snap on the way is wicked & long-lasting.
We may be bubble wrapping windows this weekend. :sigh: I dislike the view, but love the energy savings & heat. :yes:
Also gotta do a bit of outdoor cold prep.
24/15 Sunday
22/6 Monday
19/2 on Tuesday.
Wednesday we get all the way up to 29. :wtf:
And then still teens at night, 30s/40s at day throughout January.
:no:
It's my fault. :sigh: Cuz I has what I call my Big Bear Coat. It's brown bear color, microfiber faux suede with sherpa lining.
I love it. It's like wearing a big cozy comforter. :chuckle:
But I was complaining recently that I haven't been able to wear it in a few years. It's too hot. And bulky. :bear:
But now... I gets to pull out my coat. Find & maybe wash all our gloves & mittens & scarves & hats. :rofl:
Oh & they're forecasting snow on Monday. :aaahhh: Peoples are already wiping out the grocery shelves. :frantic:
And Mom's dentist already called to reschedule her Monday appointment cuz they gonna be CLOSED! :hysterical:
I figure schools will close preemptively as well. :chuckle:

And...street legal golf carts rock. :headbang: My hometown has lotsa golf cartage.
As for N.O. .... I know. :sigh: But I think I told you already that Mom gave me the spirulina she bought.
So...yesterday we went back to the regenerative medicine place. :yes: And on the 29th Mom is having an ablation and PRP injections.
The doctor (I met him this time) said that her first lumbar vertebra is toast (my word). I think he actually used the word 'disintegrated'. :sigh: And the second one is 50% disintegrated & sitting right on top of the first. The third one is also near 50% gone but there is a teensy bit of space between it & the second one. He said, "I could get a needle between them if I absolutely had to but I'd rather not.".
They also recommended this treatment that dissolves visceral fat & builds muscle...Emsculpt NEO, but she's holding off on that cuz it was gonna be about 4K. :faint:
:whistle: Just sayin...
:spitcoffee:
K...aluminumum foil :check:
Google Hub :dunno: We barely even use Alexa. I listen to Amazon music but that's about it.
Satellite... like you think we're keeping stoopy spensive Directv? :nonono:
We don't watch tv. We watch bassetbawl. And sometimes newses. But you noes I gots TVADD. That was the main area in which Zanna & I differed. She loooved mooobies & TV. I never did. Even as a kid if I was in front of a TV I had to have a book or magazine in my lap.
The TV...is for bassetbawl. :check: And a google TV becuz they are the only ones I found that have the Bally Sports app built in which makes it simple.
And we already gotted NBA League Pass thru Prime TV so then next we need the $40 a month Sling Orange.
I even get real frustrated with YouTube cuz I can read so much faster than they can get to the point. :woe:
:secret: I fast forward a lot! :rofl: Reading keeps me focused on what it is I'm um...reading. :rofl:
And this: FYI: the hyperbaric places would prolly freak out BUT B would likely have improved very quickly :yes:
Why would they have freaked out? :scratch:
Doctor Schmidt doesn't seem the type to freak out over anything at all. :nonono:
His bio:
Dr. Roy Schmidt
For over 25 years, Dr. Roy Schmidt has led medical innovation in West Tennessee, introducing advanced therapies like stem cell therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to benefit the community. The COVID-19 era has emphasized the importance of overall well-being, prompting Dr. Schmidt to advocate for accessible wellness and anti-aging therapies. Believing in their efficacy, he applies these treatments to his family and himself. From weight reduction to enhanced mobility through prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma therapies, exosome therapies and stem cell therapies, Dr. Schmidt aims to make these cutting-edge treatments available to all. As a board-certified anesthesiologist, his credentials include training at the Cleveland Clinic, a Doctor of Medicine from Loma Linda University and a biochemistry degree from Andrews University. Dr. Schmidt is affiliated with prestigious medical societies, reflecting his commitment to advancing healthcare.
I have no idea how much the hyperbaric oxygen costs. Alex, the nurse, said they have 2 chambers...1 Michael Jackson-style, and 1 extra large & wide for those who might be claustrophobic or whatevers. He just laughed & said of the latter, "You could fit a whole group of people in there". :dunno:
But boy oh boy I could not convince his cardiologist that supplemental oxygen would be helpful. :nonono: It's not what he was taught in med school. :sigh:
Anyway... :rain: :rain: and more :rain:
I heard shattering glass on the back porch at 1AM. It was a $5 clock that was hanging on the wall. :chuckle: :blowme:
But I'll take :rain: over :shiver: any day tho a nice covering of :snowball: would be nice. :yes:
Places are already cancelling/closing on Monday due to extreme cold & snow. :chuckle:

What :scratch: WHAT are you trying to sez :gaah: yer memos :suck:
I cannot read :drama: :matt:
:scratch: Schmidt's blurb sez "stem cell therapies" they is illegal in the US ... currently :electrocute: :rimshot: 'cuz THAT woulda :bean: better than PRP :yes: Though to be fair PRP would treat the pain and swellaging betterer :hmm2: The stem cells would be more for repairing the damage :yes: Now interestingly "exosome therapies " why didn't he use that :scratch: perchance they is just more :egg: spensive and a :wheee: bit more cutting edgy 'cuz that is sumthin literally tailored for durtmomma's back problem. As I recall they is derived from stem cells but are NOT stem cells so you avoid that whole not legal issue ... they generally perform better than PRP and include a bigger regenerative :bump: than PRP :yes:
I'm guessing t'was the price AND in a year or two durtmomma may want an upgrade :oz:
"Why would they have freaked out? :scratch:
Doctor Schmidt doesn't seem the type to freak out over anything at all. :nonono: "
Hyperbaric oxygen is endorsed for treating angina BUT you need a cardiologists okeedokee PLUS there are reasons in general why many doctors are against hyperbaric oxygen therapies the main one is Spontaneitous Hooman Combustion (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) ... for some reason it's far more common in 1 to 5 atmospheres of 99% Oxygen ... weird I noes :hmm2: There are of course all of the issues that come with increased atmospheres of pressure like ear and eye issues and the most common weird one is SUDDEN low blood sugar :faint: Oh and you cannot has HBOT after a recent cold neether :nono:
All that said the BIG issue for B would be the clogy bits, arrhythmia and angina ... which would be helped BUT iffen there's a problem yer kinda stuck in a pressurized coffin filled with oxygen that wants to go :boom: You has to amemberz that when a persons problem stems from low oxygen SUDDENLY giving them more than their body can possibly absorb can has unexpected outcomes :therethere:
Well unless you has a doktorz blessing :cleanse: the cost is typically $100 to $200 per hour. I noes a place 8) that is $135 for patients without insurance or prescription. Ideally you want 2 to 4 hour sessions prolly seven days apart to see general health :bump: s BUT you should noes after 1 or 2 sessions iffen they is for youse :yes:
Of course personal home HBOT systems are about $5k and are only 1 to 2 atmospheres with 80% oxygen :wubsigh:
A little pricey for siguie manor :sigh: BUT I does have my oxygen concentrators :wiggle:
"But boy oh boy I could not convince his cardiologist that supplemental oxygen would be helpful. :nonono: It's not what he was taught in med school. :sigh: "
Officially there's no consensus on the benefits oxygen therapies for CAD in general ... which is stoopid :roll: BUT unerstandable :sigh: One of the really stoopid parts is patients who have angina who try to use oxygen :bump: s to avoid having to do anything else :woe: On the otherside doktorz who would rather prescribe a nitro glycerine :boom: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) than an Oxygen Concentrator :gaah:
Anywho I has two :bliss2: one at Dad's and one near my chair for research porpoises :cheer:
"Google Hub :dunno: We barely even use Alexa. I listen to Amazon music but that's about it."
Yeah fine yer a few years behind on the tech :nickel: :carp: git some hands on time and figure out which you use more OR just git both and create yer own durty smate home :happydance:
"The TV...is for bassetbawl. :check: "
K and you does noes that Bailies and Orange Zinger etc. ar all streamable directly from a browser right? You do not need an app unless yer TV is missing the internet browser :oz:

Frightday! :bsl:
We had to :run: to Best Buy to pick up our TV AND get one for Mom. :hysterical: Her TV SUDDENLY died. For reals. I 'inspected' it...shined a flashlight on the black screen... :candle:
Then we dropped off Mom's & :b: gotted her hooked up.
Today is all about storm prep.. :frantic: :scared: :sofa: :campfire: :bsl:
I read 5-8", then 3-5", 2-4", truth is they doesn't know! BUT, we are in the bulls-eye for max snow. :faint: The entire state of Tanasi, most of Missouri & Oklahoma & more. Places that don't get much snow nor freezing cold weathers. I heard yesterday sometime that every single one of the lower 48 had some sort of weather advisory, watch or warning. :faint: It's a big :butt: storm.
So we gotta take Mom's van home & maybe (hopefully not) run to Walmart which will be :frantic: :crazy:
It's sunny & 40ish today. A veritable heatwave compared to what's ahead.
And this:
kinda stuck in a pressurized coffin filled with oxygen that wants to go :boom:
:spitcoffee: :scared: :no:
Gottaq :run: here, too. And :yes: I noed you can download the apps to the TVs browser but again...simple. :yes:
For Mom & for Jacki. For Mom I googled simplest smate tvs for seniors. :yes: And then we gotted her the 55" Hisense (only $299 :faint: ) cuz we gotted the 65" Hisense google tv so that way I can help & coach her from home. Hopefully.

Ok a Hisense TeeBee is a purty doog choice :thumbs: espeeshully compared to Vizio :horror: That oughta be a BIG change for casa de durt :thumbs:
I actaully thunked about it BUT I'm thinking my next TeeBee is gonna be an augmented reality set 8) Srsly not VR but AR :yes: The sets are basically big glasses and you can manifest as many screens as you need or what is effectively a ginormous moovie screen PLUS the audio is always way WAY betterer :thumbs:
Oh it looks like the main issue with Hisense is the new "Google TV" OS they transitioned from Android TV to google tv in 2022 and the base os is VIDAA which is tweaked to a googley version christened Google TV :cleanse: Anywho there are some software burps but googe is really doog about fixing ffuts :yes:
As for durtmomma's old set I'd :check: the backlighting then pop the bonnet and look for swolled capacitors or a smudge of smoke 'cuz they is what nermally go :boom: AND are easy fixerz :yes:
Yeah yeah I noes :blah: :blah: :buttkick: the thang to the curb (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/cry.gif) ... and congarats on yer new :drool: I mean dribble machine :roll:
FYI: You can watch bawsetbawling "court side" in VR :whistle:
"Today is all about storm prep.. :frantic: :scared: :sofa: :campfire: :bsl: "
Oooh you so lucky ... we has atmospheric rivering agin BUT it's purty weak :unthumbs: and even though this is a "cold" storm it's like maybe 40's at night :sigh:
Anywho, I'm ready for power outages :electrocute: and road closures but we prolly wont git any of the nuf ffuts :sigh:
Oh and I gotted a purty ... Camping Butane Candle heater (https://amzn.to/3TUpVfa) <= Amazon Link :yes:
It's gotted a 3.4 rating :hysterical: those people have no clue how these thangs werk or what they is for :chuckle: In any event this is a really nice well made one that should NEBER be put on a butane stove 'cuz it doesn't has a locking mechanism BUT over a planter dish filled with sand ... 3 tea lights or betterer ... a siguie brand carbon felt bioethanol burner ... the thang werks real well :thumbs:
Oh and the thang it does doog is take rising convective heat and transform it into radiant heat :vibes: Basically it's a really nice plant pot heater that can handle SUDDEN high heat :sebiv: Some plant pots succumb to too fast heating :sigh:
Has nuf storm preeppering :wave:
:horn: Pan stayz warmz :campfire:

We're between storms and the :sun: is out and heating siguie manor :drama: K just kidding the solar curtains are up 'cuz the temp needs to be high enough to offset the high humidity and avoid :mushrooms: BUT the warmz are here :sigh: and it looks like yer in the teenz :shiver: and some not so liquid moisture is mooving yer way :popcorn:
Yeah I gots nuthin :sigh: I just thunked a couple of thangs to mention likes I is glad durtmomma is getting the PRP :thumbs: ... you shoulda mentioned it afores :buttkick: ... :whistle: Anywho it's doog to see the doktor is doesing the regenerative part of his practice :yes: originally I thunked it was mostly pain mitigation but nope also fixing or atleast improving on the problem :thumbs:
Also I noes I mentioned it afores but I really don't noes anythin about CAD or :heart: clogery 'cept the few thangs I sawed after B's scan ... I just follow the flow of sensicalz :vibes: and SUDDEN arrhythmias espeeshully without angina memos makes no sensicalz ... though with covid then yeah that werks :yes:
K that purty much covers it ... in other newses ...
Siguie brand grabity water filtration now includes dangly copper wire :wiggle: The thang about grabity water filtering systems is that about monthly you need to klean them and it takes minutes :drama: Of course I could set a fish uv light in the thang or use ozone but :duh: where'z the nuf in that :roll: From my copper water thingy :egg: speriments it seems to neber need cleaning so I thunked how much copper would I need to prevent :blob: and :mushrooms: ALSO how to avoid :electrocute: metal degradation :scratch:
Anywho, the answer is about 18 inches of #8 gauge grounding wire about a foot actually gits into the water. And to prevent :electrocute: contact it's coiled over the top of the filter :wiggle:
So far no :blob: or :mushrooms: :yesss: BUT after 3 months the filter still needz back flushing but I can does that without taking it apart so getting there ... there being a siguie brand no maintenance atmospherical water filtering system :angel:
In other copper newses I hammered a 1/4 inch copper tube ... about 10 inches long into a little copper spatula/stirring rod for tea :oz: I'm not thrilled with copper gluconate :yucky: as a supplement but the Zinc citrate is fine in gummy form AND cheap :yes: So I figured the copper stirring rod for tea PLUS the coppered water is in the 10 to 1 zone for a zinc to copper ratio :thumbs: PLUS there's always the :pumpkin: seeds :wiggle:
In still more copper news ... I up-cycled some of those copper (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probes ... srsly it's not like I can use more than 2 at once :drama: Anywho I turned them into colloidal copper for cleaning porpoises :yes: I wanted colloidal copper metal sprayed on my windows to prevent :mushrooms: and espeeshully my skylights 'cuz it's fricken hard to clean those thangs :fist:
Anywho it seems to werk doog ... the benzyalkonium werks but needz to be reapplied ebery year :drama: the colloidal copper seems to :guns: the :mushrooms: for atleast 2 years :yesss: Of course I could have just used CuSO4 but I was a little worried that it would crud up the aluminum on the edges. Copper sulfate wont does anything to aluminum 'cuz the oxide layer protects it BUT iffen you polish the aluminum while applying the copper salt you can remove the oxide layer and :boom: ya gots weird aluminum gritty crud. Anywho siguie brand copper colloids go on clear and dry clear and streaker free :bliss:
K I thinxz that's most of the copper updates :scratch: 'cept one I guess ... I use the majority of the copper colloid as a rinse after I wash my hair :afro: I figured it was a clever idea since copper is anti :blob: & :mushrooms: ... much like my siguie brand colloidal silver hair spraying :yes: Anywho unbeknownst to moi Apparently 1 it promotes hair growth as well as potentially reversing gray hairs who nude :dunno: Anywho, I just thunked I'd mention it since it's basically the same as making colloidal silver BUT it takes like 8 hours vs 1 :oz:

Well it looks like tasnassi is about on par with Pan's area temperature-wise :shiver:
:snowball:
Dang youses are soooo lucky :sigh:
Tech :nickel: ly we has atmospherical rivering but the :rain: is just missing us :gaah: atleast for the next few :daisy:
Yeah I gots nuthin :kickcan:
I sawed the news about ... Arctic blast sweeps across entire US setting low records and what not ...we're in the mid fiddyz to low sixties :hippy: :cheer:

We're still here. :happydance:
:b: had to go to work yesterday even tho we had 4-5" on the ground & roads. Salt doesn't work when it's too cold & not :sun: ny.
Tho you noes that....you're a kemissed. :woe:
We gots blankets on our windows...a big pot of simmering water on the stove (humidity! :no: :bsl: )
There's a lotta cats here when they all stay indoors. :frantic: Tho the 3 seniors don't move much. Our bedroom is the 'nursing home' cuz even before this cold snap we keep a space heater in there all day with the temperature around 80. (Yes, we turn it off when we axshully are IN the room, but we only pass through during the day)
And yes, the TV is nice so far but we gots an internet dude coming today becuz of our weak signal strength. The new tv struggles more to get a doog signal than our bedroom (old Sony) TV or Jacki's new TV which I forgets the brand. I think it's the router. Either it's defective or the settings are just all wrong. One of the techs who installed had only been doing this a week. He was an auto mechanic. :chuckle: Similar skill set I figure.
Mom's 55" was only $299. That's crazy cheap. But now...we has stand issues. :chuckle: We knew her console thingy was too small so gotted her a swivel base. Well she doesn't like it. It's ugly. :rofl: So she wants a new cabinet-like stand thingy & then the swivel base can goes back to the store (it was $169 :faint: )
And yes, somehow I've seen copper wire in water before. :scratch: But not in :fish: tanks! :no: :candle:
And :sigh: Covid. He had a pretty doog arrhythmia episode on Sunday tho it was mild...heart rate was just barely over 100 tho the measurement of irregular heartbeats is erratic. For reals, the pulse oximeter will one time register 55 BPM then the next it says 140. :chuckle: I get it. :yes: It lasted 3-4 hours & he gotted Kardiamobile records of what they termed "possible arrhythmia"
And by mild I mean it was just barely out of rhythm. Hard to esplain but when he's way out you can see it visibly on his face & in his choppy actions & movements. It's strange, but true. :p He is also drained & wants to does little besides sleep or sit in his chair til it straightens itself out. On Sunday he kept doing the ffutses he was doing which was tending plants & piddling around the house.
But then yesterday morning...he shovelled snow, cleaned off my car & then his truck. All around 5AM in sub-zero wind chills. :shiver: He said he had NO chest pain, no arrhythmia, nothing. :wiggle:
So no, it doesn't make sense from a typical CAD (tho I think it's now called CVD :roll: ) perspective.
:snowball: It's not even doog :snowball: snow. Too light & fluffy. I bet the kids will get a whole week off cuz we gets a brief warm up (34 :roll: ) tomorrow & Thursday but more snow on Thursday. :frantic: And back to arctic cold on Friday & Saturday. :faint:

Properties of Copper 101. :check:
Yeah...oughta be -101. :whatever:
:bsl:
It was -1 here when I got up. :no:
:horn: Enough!
Slight warm up today & then tomorrow warm enough to make falling ICE instead of snow. :woe:
Back in the deep freeze Friday & Saturday & then...finally...back to Tanasi lamron Winter. :bliss:
Back to hoodies & away with the heavy coats! :happydance:
If we make it that long...
:spitcoffee:
As for :b: & dehydration... possibly. It was in the morning. A couple hours after getting up. No :wine: involved. Tho he does eat plenty of salt. :sigh: His choice.
It doesn't raise your blood pressure anyway. :nonono: Well, at least not without other underlying conditionalisms. :p
And :duh: I noes the pinch test. Jacki had an ileostomy...with associated malabsorption...and frequent GI issues after she was 'put back together' .
But over the weekend I noes I was feeling dehydrated. I was cramping, plus I just felt dry so I made myself drink more water, made some gatorade (powdered ffuts) & then made watery sdoof. I noes I have to force myself to drink enough of anything other than tea when it's this cold. :shiver: I even discussed it with him & asked if he was drinking enough to which he replied, "Yeah...I'm fine." :chuckle:
I still think it's a very positive sign that he's been out in frigid weather, shoveling, scraping, getting to work, with no angina whatsoever. In recent past cold weather affected him more than most anything.
But omg his body is completely different from when he was 'sick'... he looks like he did when he was 35...physically. Lean & naturally muscular. All the aches & pains are gone & his strength is back to superhooman. :superman:
AND...the psoriasis is staying at bay! :happydance: His knuckles & elbows have a bit of scaling...enough to send most people running to a dermatologist...but hardly barely anything for him. :clap: This is typically the worst time of year for him. :horror:
I am certain that is all a result of the diet. :yes:
And no worries about us hasing veganistic malnutrition cuz he's gonna eat a :burger: or some chicken or tuna every now & then...plus we have a few :egg: s a week (I put 6 :egg: in a loaded unfried rice last night. 2 cups uncooked rice...6 :egg: ...onion, frozed :peas: & :carrot: s...and a whole package (5oz) of spinach. With miso soup...few grains of hondashi included. :yes:
We also eats frozen yogurt or sherbet on occasion. :ashamed: That's the only dairy I buy.
K so I have gotten pretty doog at oillos cooking but I have a question..
The enameled cast irons (I have 2, a 6qt & a 3qt & the former is my new favorite for everyday souping) say do NOT heat them empty or it will void the warranty. (Not sure how they'd know :huh: ) I know to heat them slowly and I never turn my crazy hot burners past 7 (of 10) & usually much lower.
So let's say I'm souping & my usual would be to preheat the pot, toss in chopped onions & then garlic & then maybe other spices or veggies depending on what it's gonna be. So I did that a couple times & it worked beautifully. But then I had to go & read the instruction sheet. :woe: So after reading I then added a bit of water to the soup starting process. :sigh: Nobody would prolly know the difference except me (or someone like you).
So does I really hafta follow the directions as long as I heat slowly & don't get it too hot whilst empty?
Omg I made a fabulous :tater: barley stew the other day. :drool: It began as :tater: soup but then becuz I had beautiful yukon gold :tater: and I left them unpeeled...well it morphed. :happydance: And it was delicious cept :b: complained that he could not find the hunks of meat in it. :hysterical:

It's yer pot and you can does what you want :yes: BUT it will wear out the pot faster and make it more likely to crack ... sooner ... :therethere: Thinxz of it like racing a car engine moments after it's started ... you can git away with it most timez but you are still wearing out faster.
That said the main issue is uneven heating and shock when you throw whatever in. On the plus side is that the pots are dense and heavy and literally made to heat evenly but the top ceramic is :egg: sposed to the air and radiates heat away :vibes: plus it's not very even and that ceramic is like glass so large temperature changes will eventually crack it.
Anywho, why not throw a little water in ... it will boil when yer up to temp, even out the heat :sebiv: AND does the other thang that oil does which is prevent spot overheating. Ya seez that's the real culprit and reason for putting sumthn like a little oil in a pan/pot ... burners are NEBER even :nono: and iffen one spot gits super hot :superman: while another isn't and you throw a rack of vegetation in :boom: or atleast cracking is possible.
In any event the easiest way to evenly heat without overheating is to use a little oil 'cuz it also seasons the surface BUT water will werk too :yes: just wont last as long and gits a little uneven when the last bit goes BUT it's also not that hot compared to oil :angel:
Personally I recommend getting B :check: ed for deblockification :whistle: Perchance the damage has been fixeded and his current :rimshot: condition is diet related :oz:
Srsly basing "health" on symptom inensity has got to be an idiotic tanassi doktor thang :roll:
Also he's not really on Dr.E's protocol no morez :nono: he cannot has large muskles without leucine and isoleucine in large quantities :secret: branch chained amino acids {BCAAs} ... also the number of "cheats" is too high for most of Dr.E's protocol to be effective. As in he cheats more than once ebery 2 weeks.
That said it 'may' be that the inflammatory issues he has was from sugar AND oil or maybe sumthin else :dunno: It could also be certain oils ... it's hard to tell :dunno: ... you don't keep notes :buttkick: ... or it may be just too muches omega-6 from seed oils who noes :idunno:
Oh well iffen/when the arrhythmia hits have him drink water with electrolytes :electrocute: and time how long the arrhythmia lasts :oz:
"Tho he does eat plenty of salt. :sigh: His choice."
It's a doog choice :yes: As mentioned afores I disagree with most doktorz about salt :yes: The trick is not to un :balance: yer supply so iffen you eat a lot of sodium be sure you has Potassium, Calcium AND Magnesium.
The biggest issue with blood pressure :suck: is related to sugar/insulin/glycogen and water :oz: This also relates to hydration ... basically people on a carb based diet carry many additional pounds of water. This is why going keto for a week helps people drop 10 to 15 lbs and dramatically lowers blood pressure. BUT it also re :balance: s a persons electrolytes :electrocute: and improves kidney and liver function ALL of which improves hydration :wiggle:
The salt problem is that doktorz say take less salt to lower BP and that just screws eberythang else up :gaah:
So doog for B :thumbs:

basically people on a carb based diet carry many additional pounds of water.
This is not true for the 3 of us. :nonono: I, especially, used to retain water a lot. :sigh: Axshully, Jacki. too. Amember her ankles swelling? Anyway, it was very frustrating. But now...the only time I retain water is if I have to eat fast foods or drink Coke which is maybe once a month. My mom likes to try & feed me Coke (it's a food, I say) when I help her with ffuts but usually I decline. :chuckle:
And we still ARE Esselstyn +. + just a few extras. But 95% of our meals are strictly Esselstyn. And B has not had any animule bits (excluding :egg: ) since Christmas.
All 3 of us feel better than we ever have. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
As for muskel growth... I tolded you before he is a freak. He is naturally muscular without working out. I reckon he was born that way. :chuckle: Amembers, I usta call him German AI? But at work he lifts 100+ pounds several times a day. (valves for railroad tankers) The other guys are always amazed cuz he is 20 years older than them all. :chuckle:
Anyway... I feel that we are all in :balance: more than we've been in years, if ever.
:doh: I bet it's the spirulina that's helped grow his muskels more than anything. :righton:
Thanks for the potting info. :yes: I really don't wanna develop an oil habit again. It's kinda like smoking. :rofl:
Tho I have been giving Jacki olive oil on salads (3-4x a week). I has no sighence...my intuition says she needs a little. :yes:
But just a little cuz of the pancreas. :yes:
I will does water.
The 6qt we gotted at Walmart on Good Friday & it's not the same quality as the other one I got. The coating seems thinner, it came with a chip on the lid...it was only 30 bucks so I guess I gotted my money's worth. :rofl: But...it started the ball rolling & I/we upgraded more thereafter.
So today we're apposta get ice! :no: On top of the snow still here. :gaah:
Gonna be 62 this time next week. :wub: But we gots 3-4 more days in the deep freeze before the 'spring' thaw.
Funny how this weather puts me back in northern Ohio. :shiver: Tho as kids we didn't mind. :snowball:
But as an adult...pushing a shopping cart with a youngun in it over snowy, slushy parking lots was the absolute worst.
Many years the roads were not clear all winter long & we regularly drove on snow. I even took my driving test on snow-covered roads.

"This is not true for the 3 of us. :nonono: "
:woe: Of course it is IT is literally part of the metabolic process :yes: The manner in which carbs are processed and stored as glycogen in the muskles and around the liver also mandates more water. This is NOT water retentioning :roll: it's part of keeping the body sufficiently hydrated while running on carbs. Carbs burn HOT and FAST and require more eberythang PLUS generates more oxidative detritus that needs flushing. The additional water volume also requires a different level of electrolytes :electrocute:
This isn't a doog or bad thang :nono: it's how bodies werk when running on carbs :angel:
"As for muskel growth... I tolded you before he is a freak. He is naturally muscular without working out. I reckon he was born that way. :chuckle: "
:woe: Nope wrong agin muskles require leucine, isoleucine and valine to really bulk up :flex: fortunately :egg: s and spirulina are a doog source. Incidentally hair :afro: requires quite a bit of leucine too :whistle:
The thang to amemberz is what you attribute to him being a freak isn't that he builds muskles without sufficient Branch Chained Amino Acids 'cuz that don't werk :nono: His body chooses to use what resources are available for muskles, in much the same way yers ... presumably ... prioritizes :afro:
As long as theirs sufficient resources for eberythang there's no problem ... the issues begin when people or anuimulez run low on needed nutrients :uhoh: This is why I keep pointing outthat WTFPB is not a long term diet for most :nono: it's also why vegans literally HAVE to be incredibly meticulous about their nutrient consumption AND absorption ... 'cuz it's really REALLY hard :horror:
Even Dr.E eventually admitted people should take B12 :roll:
"All 3 of us feel better than we ever have. :wig: :wiggle: :gle: "
You do realize that's literally what you say after ebery diet :roll: The thang is it's prolly stems from just eating less sugar and ultra processed carbs :whistle:
"And we still ARE Esselstyn +. + just a few extras. But 95% of our meals are strictly Esselstyn. And B has not had any animule bits (excluding :egg: ) since Christmas."
K so in other wurdz youse are not following the Dr.E protocol :check:
Look that's fine WTFPB is just a simplified way for him to tell people what they CAN eat :yes: instead of eberythang they cannot :nono:
His protocol can be broken down to 3 parts two of which are to remove the main chronic inflammatory states which come from meat & oil AND ultra-processed carbs. It took me months to werk out the meat & oil inflammatory process but the carb part was simple. The 3rd part of his protocol is just :bump: nitric oxide as much as "naturally" possible. This is literally just to increase blood flow since CAD results in not increased blood flow :oz:
Anywho, once you unerstanz the why you can see how frequently "cheating" can be gotten away with and how ... gaming the system is my thang :angel:
" :doh: I bet it's the spirulina that's helped grow his muskels more than anything. :righton: "
I don't need to bet :nono: ... I noes it was a big help 'cuz I researched the spirulina and chlorella FOR that reason :buttkick: K not so muches for B to has :flex: but because that was the easiest way to :bump: BCAA in a WTFPB diet. I mean :hello: iffen ya want to :bump: nitric oxide there's beets :yuck: which my Dad lubs :wub: :yucky: but can be pickled to make not so :yucky: and basically one slice does the same as the spirulina :angel:

"As for muskel growth... I tolded you before he is a freak. He is naturally muscular without working out. I reckon he was born that way. :chuckle: "
:woe: Nope wrong agin muskles require leucine, isoleucine and valine to really bulk up :flex: fortunately :egg: s and spirulina are a doog source. Incidentally hair :afro: requires quite a bit of leucine too :whistle:
The thang to amemberz is what you attribute to him being a freak isn't that he builds muskles without sufficient Branch Chained Amino Acids 'cuz that don't werk :nono: His body chooses to use what resources are available for muskles, in much the same way yers ... presumably ... prioritizes :afro:
As long as theirs sufficient resources for eberythang there's no problem ... the issues begin when people or anuimulez run low on needed nutrients :uhoh: This is why I keep pointing outthat WTFPB is not a long term diet for most :nono: it's also why vegans literally HAVE to be incredibly meticulous about their nutrient consumption AND absorption ... 'cuz it's really REALLY hard :horror:
Even Dr.E eventually admitted people should take B12 :roll:
"All 3 of us feel better than we ever have. :wig: :wiggle: :gle: "
You do realize that's literally what you say after ebery diet :roll: The thang is it's prolly stems from just eating less sugar and ultra processed carbs :whistle:
"And we still ARE Esselstyn +. + just a few extras. But 95% of our meals are strictly Esselstyn. And B has not had any animule bits (excluding :egg: ) since Christmas."
K so in other wurdz youse are not following the Dr.E protocol :check:
Look that's fine WTFPB is just a simplified way for him to tell people what they CAN eat :yes: instead of eberythang they cannot :nono:
His protocol can be broken down to 3 parts two of which are to remove the main chronic inflammatory states which come from meat & oil AND ultra-processed carbs. It took me months to werk out the meat & oil inflammatory process but the carb part was simple. The 3rd part of his protocol is just :bump: nitric oxide as much as "naturally" possible. This is literally just to increase blood flow since CAD results in not increased blood flow :oz:
Anywho, once you unerstanz the why you can see how frequently "cheating" can be gotten away with and how ... gaming the system is my thang :angel:
" :doh: I bet it's the spirulina that's helped grow his muskels more than anything. :righton: "
I don't need to bet :nono: ... I noes it was a big help 'cuz I researched the spirulina and chlorella FOR that reason :buttkick: K not so muches for B to has :flex: but because that was the easiest way to :bump: BCAA in a WTFPB diet. I mean :hello: iffen ya want to :bump: nitric oxide there's beets :yuck: which my Dad lubs :wub: :yucky: but can be pickled to make not so :yucky: and basically one slice does the same as the spirulina :angel:
Dang you Thurdazed :fist:

:hello: We eats lots of beets. :yes: Jacki looooves them. B, too. I likes them but not as much as they do. :chuckle:
We eats lots of all the doog ffuts. :yes: Just becuz I don't chart or graph or notate :roll: doesn't mean I don't pay attention to the whats & whatnots. :roll:
I just goes about it a different way. Rather than count micros & macros & hohos :rimshot: I follow the :rainbow:
Colors make me happy. :happydance: ALL the colors on my cutting board is pure :bliss:
And then I create whatever I am inspired to create from those bee-you-tea-full vegetables.
Yesterday I made vegetable soup. Carrots, taters, onion, celery, purple hull peas, green peas, chickpeas, green beans, lima beans, hominy, corn, tons of tomatoes...tomato juice & vegan no-beef 'broth'. :chuckle: The latter is somethin Kroger just began carrying so I wanted to try it. I don't particularly like :cow: broth so I has to tell myself over & over "it's not real...it's not real". :hysterical:
But I only used 1 quart in a giant pot of soup.
And the soup is :drool: but moreso it's absolutely packed with nutrients. :yes: :tomatoes:
Soybeans, brown rice, chickpeas, eggs.... all leucine containing foods & we eat them all every week.
I've done the nutrient counter thing on myfitnesspal app. I used it quite a while when I was struggling with thyroid & then weight gain from the meds.
But now I follow the rainbow... :bliss: :rainbow: :bliss: :rofl:
But in the now now I am simply waiting for the :sun: :om: This weather is ridiculous! :snowball: 2 more wicked days, 1 chilly day & by Monday we shall overcome. :rofl: I mean...we shall be back in looking for daffodil mode! :spring:
This weekend we gonna get the guest room re-readied for seeding. :asiel:
We turned it into a nursery/lab & then it gotted filled with houseplants & over-winterers. :woe:
So now we gotta find space in the house for all those pots so we can fill the tables with seedlings. :crazy:
But we has some speshul ffutses in there right now. Like the little lavender sprigs & rooted on the windowsill & are now quite viable little plants. And the avocado pits that rooted in days :huh: & now are super cute widdle trees that need to be up-sized.
And the giant wandering dude that became 4 new plants that are putting out new growth. And my overwintering peeper plants that are just about to get fertilized awake! :happydance:
I am so in need of Nature Therapy! :treehug:

In a 6 hour period we gotted 3.89 inches :faint: Dad lives in a rain shadow but ended up with 1.31 inches which is a HUGE amount in 4 to 6 hours :uhoh:
Anywho I'm sure I'll be touring the veggie prison for damages afores kale night festivities begin :sigh:

"... ..too much being shut in with curtains drawn & blankets over other windows & such...too much of it all so I was pretty much a :blob: all weekend long."
Ooooh that's real hunker down tactics :thumbs: I still has kerosene from like 10yrs ago :sigh: and tons of bioethanol oh and a NEW siguie brand cooking oil burner :matt:
Of course right now it's 58°F and :sun: ny with temps rising into the 60's :hippy: by the weekend :no: BUT will there be any clear skies NO :hmm:
"... I hears ya on the calcium. I do I do. I will mention it to him again. :righton: "
K but the more important aspect is the calcium level related to vit.D as in when did he start popping 50k doses and what was his D level prior as well as Calcium level at that time. Vit.D changes the serum Calcium level and he has atleast 2 thangs {psoriasis and CAD} that would be effected. Oh and prolly more importantly when did the arrhythmia thang start ... afores or after the covid?
Iffen it's after then it's prolly a covid thang and you should just record the frequency, intensity and duration elsewise perchance Calcium :idunno:
Oh and as long as I'm up on this soapbox ... agin ... shrubists tend to lose more calcium than they absorb through dietary vegetation.

Ok this is really REALLY stoopid BUT 100% true :yes: and was done primarily to show the absurdity of prescribing statins based solely on cholesterol numbers :chuckle: Also this was a study done by a Harvard Medical School professor/researcher on himself and cannot by itself be considered a human clinical trial.
Oreo Cookie Treatment Lowers LDL Cholesterol More Than High-Intensity Statin therapy in a Lean Mass Hyper-Responder on a Ketogenic Diet: A Curious Crossover Experiment (https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1989/14/1/73)
Link (https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1989/14/1/73)
:hysterical: :bsl: :roar: :chuckle:
K so here's the thang another paper was recently published which legitimately showed that cholesterol is not related to BMI atleast not directly. Afores that there was the meta analysis of Lean Mass Hyper-Responders which showed cholesterol :bump: s very high when people are otherwise lean and healthy BUT on a low carb diet :angel:
This has lead to the development of sumthin referred to as the lipid energy model which appears to be the current :rimshot: best asplination for why low carb diets can lead to HUGE :bump: s in cholesterol AND why statins should NOT be prescribed :pullhair:
So the researcher/test subject is a lean mass hyper responder on a a consistent keto diet with initial LDL-C 384 mg/dL. After 2 weeks {16 days actually} ... "Thus, 16 days of consuming 12 Oreo cookies/d decreased the subject's LDL-C by 273 mg/dL, a 71% drop ..." :hysterical: He then spent 3 months oreolos to reset his cholesterol levels. Then in comparison taking 20mg rosuvastatin {aka Crestor} for 6 weeks there was only a 32.5% reduction :roar:
:hysterical: :bsl: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Sadly NO oreos are not a replacement for statins ... though for people who are lean mass hyper responders who insist on lowering their ldl-C without cardiovascular desease then maybe :dunno:
There's a simple :egg: splination :yes: and it's based on the lipid energy model ... and while not the best conceived experiment eber it does corroborate the lipid energy model :thumbs:

Mom keeps them in a cookie jar (for many many years...only Oreos cuz they were Dad's favorite) & most every time we are there B sneaks one. :chuckle:
So I has the aforementioned links open & I will read/watch in a bit. :wiggle:
But you sez I sez his teef were decaying from berries. :nonono: That's what the dentist thought. :yes: And B beleebed the dentist but I was rather doubtful. The dentist also was dumbfounded by how anyone can survive without meatz. :laugh:
The arrhythmia has been a thing since this whole :heart: ffuts began symptomizing. :yes:
Except, & I think it's a big except, before it always came with tachydardia & typically crazy high BP/
And then he had none for 6 months or more...long enough that we thunk it gone.
So yes, the recent (2) post-covid episodes have been with normal slow or low normal (70ish BPM), one of the episodes he had super low BP.... like 90/50...the other it was more normal for him (120-30 range) .
And the most recent episodes have not lasted as long as the early ones. :yes: A couple hours compared to 8-12 hours or more.
The longest lasting arrhythymic spell was nearly 30 hours but that was after a doofus provider gave him a steroid injection.
And :rain: !!! That's alotta :rain: for youses. :umbrella:
We gots fiddies & :rain: today...60s & :rain: tomorrow... 60s and :rain: the next day....

So Dr Campbell just showed lots of graphs detailing "excessive" deaths (I'm curious what makes them excessive) worldwide.
And in the UK most of them :heart: or circulatory related. He speculated that it was similar in other countries. And he wondered why no attention, why nobody is trying to figure out why. Or maybe they know something we don't know. :dunno:
The comment section was FULL of people who are certain they know & they say it's all from "the jab" as they calls it. :sigh:
One person tried to point out that it could possibly be covid itself but they did not want to hear that becuz...
well, the vaccines (all vaccines, mainly) are purely :evil: according to them. :sigh:
I'm curious to know what you make of the graphs. Japan was exceptionally bad. Japan had less initial covid peaks but more of a steady incline altogether.
I also found it inneresting that some of the graphs look just like ecg/ekg readouts. :huh: Quite inneresting.
From a :woo: perspective I believe that this is simply the times of which the Elders spoke. The time when Mother :earth: begins shaking people off like a dog shaking fleas. But many different prognosticators from many different cultures foretold of a time of unrest when the population would dramatically decrease. Of course, that doesn't mean that it still can't be covid as the root cause. It's just that it's all in accordance with the prophecy. :pie: :rofl: :enorah:

It kinda has to does with speed :run: and how fast the body can turn whatever back into fuel PLUS how muches the body thinxz it's gonna need of what type.

Velly velly intewesting. :yes:
So the aspirationlosness is likely the reason for blood clots? And prolly many, like my cousin-in-law Marilyn, have the Factor V Leiden genetic thingy without even knowing it.
So B's doctor is adamant that he does not have aFib and 2 years ago his :heart: :check: ed out as "perfectly healthy".
And yes, The runaway tachycardia and high BP is a low oxygen panic response :frantic: That is what we deduced in the beginning...when his arteries were really bad. But after a yearish on the diet that all stopped. Until recently. :yes: But these episodes are so mild that he'd say they're "nothing" & not worth contacting the doc tho he IS now documenting.
He'll have another stress test in June, I believe. :wiggle: Hopefully he'll pass & totally :shock: the doc even more. :chuckle:
Amembers, at the 2 year mark the doc scratched his head & said, "I should be putting you back in the cath lab now. Cardiovascular disease is progressive. You oughta be getting worse.". :rofl: He's never seen a patient like B. :happydance:
So does something in that keto cholesterol :bump: then cause people to gain back rapidly & more when they un-keto?
Cuz I know one person quite well, Jill, who losted over 100 pounds in a year. But she could not sustain & when she went back to eating 'regularly' she quite rapidly gained back 120+ and said she was eating very very little (as in old-fashioned dieting) but the weight just kept coming.
I've read about similars with peoples on the new weight loss drugs. A couple women who spoke out said that the patient assistance program ran out & SUDDENLY they were supposed to pay $1200 a month (sound like B's psoriasis drug, but that was a blessing in disguise). SO they stopped taking the drug & said they felt famished all the time. They both really watched calorie intake but still ballooned up quickly to 20 pounds heavier than before they took the drug. :sigh: These 2 women had losted 20-30 pounds, not 100 like Jill.
Boy oh boy these bodies are infinitely complex, eh? :pie:
Just eat :pie: for :balance:
Did you noes yesterday was :pie: day? Yeah, I noes...3.14...but J has a page-a-day with 'holidays' on every day & I humor her & we try to participate in as many as we can. I made a pretty doog butterlos, oillos, apple :eip: :yes:
Today is peanut butter day. :laugh: We can eats PB2 or PBFit (same thing, different brands). It's really doog stirred into smashed up :banana:

Nope :nono: But way to guess wrong and :run: with it :hi5:
Those vaccinations are intramuskular (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) NOT intravenous :nono: You does not want yer antigen and factorz being diluted around the body :nono: instead you want it to pool up in one location does it's thang and has the body discover it ... panic appropriately :frantic: and then marshal it's defenses against a horrific :sockpuppet: faux-viral invasion :frantic:
This is espeeshully true for mRNA vaccines ... unlike other vaccines these have NO antigens :nono: so the body does not mount a defense against it right away ... fer the most part ... instead it's a mRNA cocktail that induces antigen production in the location of the injection by nearby cells. On the admittedly rare occasion that a (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) goes into a capillary by accident it is diluted in the blood stream and is ... mostly ... useless :bye: but with mRNA it's also possible to induce antigen formation in places you don't want an immune war starting like on :heart: valves :horror:
Personally I thinxz the :heart: valve claims are NOT vaccine related just people who had the vaccine AND gotted covid afores all the benefits kicked in ... BUT it's still a thang :yes:
The main thang to unerstanz is that ALL vaccines :bump: immune functions even some functions that perchance shouldn't be :bump: ed in some peoplez. This puts stress on a body BUT each body decides how to react and how muches and all you can does is make the bestest guess possible then roll yer dice :angel:
"So B's doctor is adamant that he does not have aFib and 2 years ago his :heart: :check: ed out as 'perfectly healthy'."
:yesss: K I was worried that the :heart: doc would rush him in and throw meds at the problem :yes: FYI iffen his ECG looked nermal-esque there's no way for it be afib :nono: arterial fibrillation shows up quite different than arrhythmia as does ventricular fibrillation :yes:
He almost certainly has some transient form of arrhythmia and iffen you goes back and download his old ECG/EKG ... most likely a 12 lead monitor :wubsigh: you would be able to see all sorts of squiggles and :bump: s which in theory can tellz you yer future :mina: in :heart: health though mostly the AI does a better boj interpreting them ... fer realz :yes:
Anywho my Guess is this is almost certainly covid and or drug related ... antibiotics and what not :buttkick: :heart: s as well ... though they generally mess up Potassium channels not Calcium but who noes :dunno:
That said you mentioned you has coQ10 ... now would be a doog time to take that iffen you still has it :yes: It's one of the thangs plant based eaters miss AND is related to the :heart: It's also espeeshully bad for WTFPB who take statins :woe: Elsewise iffen ya doesn't has it on hand don't worry about it :nono:
"So does something in that keto cholesterol :bump: then cause people to gain back rapidly & more when they un-keto?"
:woe: didja completely miss the on goesing saga of K where was we? :drama:
First goesing OFF keto drops the cholesterol dramatically hence the new 12 Oreo/d prescription to replace statins :chuckle:
Second going off keto means you are now carnivore dieting OR going into glycolysis. Carnivore dieters may or may not be in glycolysis depending on the details. However, going back to nermal Standard American Diet type glycolysis ... even when eating dooger than afores ... means yer shifting yer energy storage system to glycogen and making yer mitochondria burn :egg: sclusively carbs :horror:
This means you are shifting yer metabolism nigh 180° ... which is fine :yes: ... but glycolysis needs more water as does glycogen storage and on average that's 10 to 15 pounds :egg: tra.
Now the reason people SUDDENLY put on FAT weight is in keto yer body is using minimal amounts of carbs so insulin resistance isn't a thang and MOST peoplez are insulin resistant to some degree :yes: This SUDDEN shift is a metabolic stress ... ebery BIG diet change is but this is going from using engin #2 back to #1 and done quickly 'can' be rather hard on the body ... espeeshully iffen they had become fat adapted :yes:
There are some people who eat Zero carbs and have done that for years and have incredibly low A1c then SUDDENLY have too much sugar and have what is essentially a diabetic attack :sofa: aka sugar coma :faint:
Anywho the point is yeah it's a thang yer using two different engines that run on completely different fuels, switching quickly between the two is not a doog idea. It's yet another reason why people who are always changing diets end up plumper :oz:
Keep in mind these are ALL nermal metabolic processes and it's about what yer body has adjusted to. The reason people who switch to keto SUDDENLY lose weight and eat :cow: and bacon and still lose weight is because their bodies were adapte to carbs. They lose weight because they have not adapted fully to running on fat. However, 3 months in and thangs will start to level off and after 6 months most are completely fat adapted and will begin to gain weight iffen they are not careful. Now since these people have typically spent their whole lives carb adapted switching back the door swings the other way lickity splits and :boom: 10 to 15 lbs water in a week :bump: now all oil becomes fat and because they used up their stores of glycogen the body decides to store EBERYTHANG :muaha:
Anywho yup it's oblivious what would happen once you unerstanz how thangs werk :matt:

Aspiration is most commonly performed during an intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection, and is meant to ensure that the needle tip is located at the desired site, and has not accidentally punctured a blood vessel.

:hello: I used my whole :brain: and I fully understood what aspirated meant :woe:
You ferget that I spent nearly half of 8 years in hopsickles with Jacki. Aspirating needles was learnt in the first 10 weeks whilst she was in the NICU. It's pretty basic. :roll:
Anyway... I was right in the first place tho somehow YOU understood it wrongly. :chuckle:
The non-aspirating could very likely be the cause of blood clots in a relatively small, but not insignificant, portion of peoples.
It doesn't matter now. Not to me, anyway. It oughta matter to peoples in positions that could do things differently.
:asilly: right again. :yesss:

Anyway... Chloe is coming this weekend. :cheer: First time she's been back since moving in Octember.
And it's gonna chill down...40s :shiver: instead of the 50s & 60s we've been enjoying. :spring:
But the local weather dude says he sees NO daytime highs below 32 as far as the forecasting can see.
I gots hyacinth blooming in the house! :wubsigh: :happydance:
It was a last minute grab when I was bringing pots indoors and I am so happy I grabbed it.
It was a seemingly empty pot but I amembered that it had contained hyacinths. :happydance:
Happy Kale Day!!

That moove to wordpressed might come sooner than later :sigh:
:kickcan:
Anywho I cannot access ANYTHIN on account of not using ANY wordpress and bluehost ONLY does depressedwurdz :pullhair:
I literally had to hack MY own account to upload a couple of files :woe: Yeah that's right siguie will not be forced into a limiting graphical user interface :fist:
:sparkle: :wwsd: :sparkle:
Anywho I was kinda suprised how many peoplez had no clue about astrophotography :huh: and why my Seestar S50 is Amazin :wubsigh:
SO ... :whatever: here's a quick :egg: sample from yesterday between :cloud: s and nigh :fullmoon: :fist:
M42 is also known as the Orion Nebula and here it is from a screen capture from Stelarium in Ubuntu ... Orion's belt is the 3 horizontal stars and the diagonal 3 are known as his "sword"... M42 is the middle star on the sword (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/duel_pa.gif)
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/M42_stelarium.png)
Tech :nickel: ly it is visible even when there is some light pollution BUT when I was astrophotographicating 'twas barely visible :drama: BUT it was over the ocean so less light pollution but still :cloud: s :fist:
Anywho I took 1 minute of 10 second stacks {6 photos} of those 6 two or three were usable and thus stacked to form ...
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/m42_01.jpg)
After playing for an hour or so I noticed there was a clearing and gotted 3 more minutes of photos of M42 which where muches betterer so added them to a new stack and gotted this ...
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/m42_03.jpg)
That angular dark part on the right is how the :earth: rotated :wheee: between the different timez BUT the s50 aligns poifectly to make stacking possible :wubsigh: However since the images are rectangular there's some rotational ffuts AND it's easier to see when some images also has :cloud: s :oz:
Anywho the idea is that with doog alignment over a looong time you can pull out details that are not possible from a simple viewing scope :angel:

Firstly... "You ferget that I spent nearly half of 8 years in hopsickles with Jacki. Aspirating needles was learnt in the first 10 weeks whilst she was in the NICU. It's pretty basic. :roll: "
What does that have to does with vaccine injections? :scratch:
It had nothing to does with vax shots. It was in response to the primer on aspiration that you provided. :buttkick:
:whatever:
So those photos are freakin amazing!!! :yes: And the video. :yes:
What is the bird-like shape at the top of the last photo? It looks like a perched sparrow with it's head turned away from the camera.
Very cool, indeed. :yes:
We had a busy, productive weekend. :yes: I woke up Sunday morning to an invasion! :frantic:
And invasion of plants! :treehug: B had already cleared out the guest room/plant lab & integrated 60+ plants into the house.
They are now everywhere! :frantic: But amazingly, look as if they've always been where they are. And they all look so incredibly healthy. :wub: Of courses, they're not under directed light any more (some are, some aren't) but I think they'll be absolutely fine until half or more of them goes outside in April/May.
Just 2 months til Thor comes back! :happydance: :wubsigh:
:secret: hummingbirds!
And time is running out to get all the ffutses done indoors that I wanna does. :faint:
Cuz once it's full-on outside time the house has to pretty much maintain itself. :chuckle:
Did I mention that I gotted a new vacuum? :yes: It's my first Miele & I am in love. :wub:
It has made my life so much easier & more enjoyable. The telescoping wand is so lightweight that I can easily reach above cabinets, over the fireplace (which is impeded by a coffee table full of plants :laugh: ) , and into every nook & cranny without hurting my back. :clap:
Anyway, we gots serious :spring: fever & again, gots way more to does than hours in the days allow. :farmninja:
But we likes it that way. :wig: :gle:
No boredom ever.
And... I gotted a mini trampoline before Christmas & bouncy bouncy bouncy fun! :happydance: It will get your heart rate up in a flash iffin you want to does it that way. I do a casual (no timer) HIIT whereas I hop along, or dance along, then hold onto the bar & bring my knees up to my hips 8-10 times...then I just merrily hop along again. Rinse & repeat. :check:
It's way more efficient & funner than the exerbike. :yes:
And our house is getting smarter by the day. :wiggle: We subscribed to Amazon Unlimited Family music thingy so we have practically every album ever recorded at our beck & call (Alexa, play Moody Blues Day of Future Passed) & it's bluetoothed to the receiver which has 6 speakers, indoors & out, wired to it.
I can also say, Hey Google....turn on the TV. And then 'Open Sling TV' or whatever & control lots of things on the TV with google assistant.
It's quite an upgrade. :yes:
But Bally Sports app (20 buck a month, nonetheless :sigh: ) is total :carp: on the TV. :sigh: The games stall & the app freezes & sometimes the announcers get minutes ahead of the axshual ball game. We can use it on our phones...or on B's laptop. But on our Chromebooks it does pretty much the same as on the TV.
I found some great yoga on Prime Video tho & that's where I'm headed now. Before J gets up. :yes:
And then I gots to vacuum. Again. :hysterical: Sasha (the Norweigan forest cat looking cat) is shedding Sasha bits all over the place. But I mainly wanna vacuum some big plants today. :yes: Yep, the Miele has a setting so gentle that it will vacuum off plant leaves without eating them. :yes:
Doesn't you have more :rain: headed in??

Of course after yoga I had to play the aforementioned album. :rofl: I hadn't heard it, nor thunk of it til it popped out earlier, in a long long time. (B has it on vinyl)
And I had to write down the lasagna recipe I made last night before I forgets how I did it. :chuckle:
It was delicious. Carnivore (B) approved. :check:
veggie lasagna
4-6 cloves garlic
1 large onion chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/2 yellow pepper chopped
1/2 orange pepper chopped
about 1/4 head cauliflower chopped
5 oz package spinach
small package mushrooms
Lightly saute all of above adding spinach & mushrooms last & then turning off heat & covering
Prepare tofu ricotta:
1 block extra firm
1 block silken
lemon juice
bit of sugar
nutritional yeast
salt
miso
goodly amount of italian seasoning AND dried basil
process til mixed well
Dry lasagna noodles on bottom of pan
Cover with sauce (Kroger marinara)
Spread half of tofu ricotta
Spread sauteed veggies
More sauce
another layer dry lasagna noodles
rest of ricotta
sauce with TVP added (1 cup rehydrated TVP with Bragg's)
add a complete, single layer of fresh spinach
More sauce (2 jars total)
Top with can of chopped tomatoes.
Bake 350 for 45 minutes to an hour

Did you know jasmine is in the olive family? :faint:
Of course you did. :pie:
On Sunday I gotted a pink jasmine. :wubsigh: And it is absolutely loaded with buds. :luvcry:
All the tag says is "pink jasmine" with nothing else so that's why the goggling. It is quite different from the others.
And today I am taking cuttings from my old (3) jasmine plants. :wiggle: One of the old ones is totally loaded with buds now, too. :happydance:

Anywho :egg: pectin perhance 2 inches of rain for Dad in a 6h period and up to 8 inches for siguie manor :sofa: the main hazard will be the :windy: that comes after the deluge 'cuz that's when trees do the post party :treehug: breaking of ffuts :horror:
The majority of the bad will be down south in :enorah: country :vibes:
Fortunately we is at about half nermal :rain: so we got this :flex: the next 2 or 3 though that's gonna be a doog question :whistle:
Oh and Dr. John Campbell released a new video ... British Heart Foundation release (https://youtu.be/L6103jQREy8?si=I_D_fPlZc1zLBy1T) ... it's good but there are still no definitive asplinations for what is causing the increase in :heart: and cardiovascular related deaths ... just a lot more evidence showing yup there are a lot more than there should be :yes:

Even B's cardiology office admitted a massive influx of covid-related :heart: ffuts.
The nurse said most of them were tachycardia & aFib. :yes:
As for a website... :dunno: Maybe. :chuckle: I'm not a doog recipe writer cuz I tend to not measure anything & so I write things down just so I remembers what I did. :rofl:
Last night we had a massive healthy 'cheat'. I made tuna salad with lots of finely chopped veggies (red, yellow, orange peepers, onion, celery, sweet pickle, apple) and avocado. :yes: B hadn't had anything of 'substance' for him in a couple weeks & I can always tell he needs somethin when I ask what he's hungry for & he says things like, "Roast beef & gravy" or "chicken cordon bleu" or other not gonna make things. :rofl: If I push he'll say he's "fine" and "no, I'm just joking" but I noes it's his body 'talking' when it comes from out of the blue. So we stuffed the tuna salad in ancient grain pita pockets with lotsa lettuce & diced cucumber (tomatoes :suck: right now) and I took some homemade veggie soup from the freezer. :check:
So I asked Alexa for that song & she absolutely could not understand me. :rofl:
I'm a pretty doog Asian-pronouncer but she kept trying to give me Tina Turner. :woe: Tin-na, I'd say....not Tee-na.
I'll try again later cuz I gots to get ready & get out now.
But I, too, listen to ALL kinds of musics. All kinds of doog musics, that is. :chuckle: Often I just put on some of the frequency types of music such as Stephen Halpbern.
And here: https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/leap-into-februarys-must-see-astronomy-events/1617230
No need to wait til April. :pie:
Speaking of star systems & music. Ever listen to M83? The band? You'd like it. It's rather orchestral & the albums are quite like a symphony or soundtrack. Not many 'singles' on their albums.
That's alotta :rain: coming in to your location! :eek: Hope the ocean doesn't rise up to meet you. :eek: :chuckle:

BIG :rain:
:vibes: :sparkle: :umbrella: :sparkle: :sebiv:
I forgotted to say yesterday that that DJ story was pretty funny. :rofl: I thunk of it a couple times throughout the day yesterday. :woe: And now I keep hearing Nights in White Satin in my head. :chuckle:
So as for the dim mak skill thingy... I tolded you when I first got the vax (it's here somewhere :chuckle: ) that I felt 'it' moving all over my body & that 'it' felt like it was zeroing in on weaknesses. :yes: For me, I could feel it & work with it as it moved, & I intended that it heal any areas of need (thyroid, in particular and I forgot where all else). And remember Jacki with the high fever & massive fever blister outbreak? She's had fever blisters (woke with one yesterday) much more often in the past couple years than ever before.
And that super long list of symptoms from the virus itself??? That's becuz it seems to attack each person's weakest areas. They symptoms are as varied as hoomans. :yes:
:b: has been real doog lately. But iffin he has any more issues maybe he needs to see Mom's regenerative doc. :scratch:
He's a kemissed, amembers? As well as an anesthesiologist. :yes: But now an alternative provider. :wiggle:
Website. :sigh: Fine. :yes: My 'people' keep telling me to write. :chuckle: As always, I ask, "Write what?" :rofl:
Today we are going to Memphis. :elfparty: We haven't been since 2021, I believe. :faint: No, I take that back...we went to the zoo last year but we haven't been to a bassetbawl game since 21. :happydance: Memphis Grizzlies vs Cleveland Cavaliers. :righton:
It happened SUDDENLY as I was googling how to get Bally Sports app to work on our TV. :sigh: The general internet consensus is that Bally Sports sucks, but we figured that out. :rofl: IT works well on B's new laptop. It works fairly well on our phones (cheap pixel 6a). It does not work on our Chromebooks. And is horrific on the new TV. :gaah: On the TV it is funny in that the sound & picture get horribly out of sync. Like 2 minutes out of sync. :huh: But the picture constantly freezes or the whole app crashes & has to be reopened.
Does you think a wifi extender would help?
Cuz that's what our internet dude said to get. A "mesh compatible" wifi extender, but that's all he knew. :crazyeyes:
I've begun to understand that our internet dudes are not quite up to par...shoulda knowed that when one installer said he'd only been doing it a couple weeks & that her was an auto mechanic by trade. :woe:
I looked at them on Amazon...briefly...and boy oh boy they gots all kinds of specs of things I never even heard of. :crazyeyes:
Anyway...we are hostages of Bally Sports IF we want to watch Grizzlies OR anyone that they play (like the Cavs :sigh: ). We also have to watch Atlanta Hawks (& Cavs when they play them) on Bally due to lame :butt: blackout rules. As if the ATL is local. :nonono: The entire RSN (regional sports network) is in a state of disarray. Amazon just bought a big chunk of Bally & renaming rights so I am hopeful that they night make it better. Bally also does not play well with carriers (remember we went through Grizz withdrawals when Bally & Dish broke up? Then we switched to Directv) so many peoples lose their sports teams for awhile or forever.
So :b: took tomorrow off... I gots an awesome deal on tickets... and today I am making & packing dinger for us to eats on the way.
And yes, he needs to know the condition of his condition so he could eats a :burger: & :fries: on the way if he wanted.
Oh but he did say that more than one person came to his office to ask what was smelling so good when he took leftover lasagna. :happydance: They could not believe that something without meat or cheese could smell so good. :hysterical:
:rstars: Happy February!!! :rstars: It's a :jump: year!
And we're coming up on the oh so wonderful year of the Wood Dragon! :namaste:

Yeah so about yer :carp: Badly Sport the only reason to resort to a wifi :egg: tender is the data stream :vibes: reaching the teebee is too looow. This 'could' be the case but doesn't asplain all of yer memo details.
Anywho amemberz my diatribe about 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz ... yer teebee supports both BUT you still need a strong enough signal AND for FULL def you want 5GHz. So first thang would be to :bump: the signal strength which may or may not have happened yet. Also iffen you can lower/reduce the resolution that would be a doog :check: Lower resolution means lower bandwidth requirements which means iffen it werks THEN the problem is indeed data streaming :vibes: Iffen you cannot figure out how to lower resolution 'cuz automation can suck like that use a windoh in a window or whatever it's called on yer system that puts a small screen in the corner while you watch sumthin else.
That said there are all sorts of ways to determine yer data speeds and wifi connectivity yada yada BUT afores all that :check: yer teebee for an Ethernet Port {aka LAN }. Iffen you has one AND can connect the thang directly to the router you would atleast noes iffen the problem is low data stream :sebiv: or a :carp: app. Apps :suck: and it's prolly why it don't werk on the chromebook. Since yer teebee is basically using a googley lite version of chrome OS that a distinct possibility :whistle:
Anywho lots of options NOT hasing to does with a mesh wifi setup :woe: srsly that's the kinda thang I would use 'cuz it's cool but yer place is a tiny durt hovel and shouldn't need it :nono:
Iffen you need a range :egg: tender git a NON-mesh one 'cuz you are only needing it for one stoopid thang AND instead of wifi :egg: tender I'd goes for a "wireless" ethernet which is different AND faster.
That said ... did I mention the advantages of just making your own HTPC :whistle: Srsly this ALL could be avoided AND you has many more options :yes:
By the way did you try casting from yer phones or chromebook?
If nuthin else try attaching B's laptop to the TeeBee via an HDMI ... THEN run Badly Sports and use the 55 inch as a monitor 'cuz that's all it is :moon: k a monitor plus a carp android puter :unthumbs:

Tiny durt hut. :hysterical: 2k sq ft is small...not tiny. :pie:
So we chose the TV we did becuz it's apposta be the best for bassetbawling... outside of the highend OLEDs.
But many many many Badly ( :hi5: ) Sports users claim similars and we watch bassetbawl with few interruptions on NBA League Pass or ESPN or the likes.
So yeah...:suck: y app. :sigh:
But thanks for the tips. :righton: We got a game tonight so we'll see... B especially liked the puter idea :yes:
And last night was great. :yes: Memphis is :wub: and it was HBCU night so there were hundreds of college kids performing &/or spectating. :yes: We gotted home a bit after midnight. :owl:
As for :heart: memos... I said he'd been hasing an atypical arrhythmia with low BP & low heart rate and if it conitnued (I likes that typo :p ) he might wind up back in the cath lab. :eip: It didn't continue. :nonono: He's had no espisodes (Lord I can't type today :rofl: ) nor angina nor nothin for almost a month. :wiggle:
:b: says he can go on as is until he sees the doc in June or July (we forget :chuckle: ). He will have a stress test :roll: and maybe I can talk the doc into an angiogram. :ye: He likes me. :chuckle: The doc, that is. :yes:
Absof'inglutely beautiful day outside today! :spring: :bliss:
Hope your :rain: stays at bay. :rimshot: :chuckle: Axshully that's not punny but quite literal. :wiggle:

"Tiny durt hut. :hysterical: 2k sq ft is small...not tiny. :pie: "
No that's teeny & tiny :faint:
"So we chose the TV we did becuz it's apposta be the best for bassetbawling... outside of the highend OLEDs. "
:woe: That makes no sensicalz :nono: There are no particularly fast motions or shadows or intense colours in weird lighting conditions or nuthin. Basically anythin with a high resolution display and doog refresh rate would be as doog :buttkick:
"But thanks for the tips. :righton: We got a game tonight so we'll see... B especially liked the puter idea :yes: "
The puter should have better wi & fi and a much mches faster processor so even a :carp: app "should" werk betterer :yes: BUT there are still some thangs to tweak ... for instance twining the screen and closing or turning off the laptop display to reduce processing requirements and setting the presumably win11 power system to max :flex:
After that I would recommend getting a k400 Plus keyboard or some such so you can recline in yer durt sofas and animulez while watching ffuts.
Oh and the other advantage is you Do NOT need to use the app :nono: just open a web browser and go to the stoopid sports page and login to the website and stream directly THEN max size the window and yer done :yes:
FYI: The laptop is now literally an HTPC so you could add ffuts like DVR functionality or musickalz ffuts etc :wiggle: Of course you could just use an old puter throw linux on it and have a betterer fasterer cheaperer HTPC but what does I noes :drama:
"We gotted home a bit after midnight."
So basically it was boring and ya left early ... yeah that was :egg: pected :therethere:
"... I said he'd been hasing an atypical arrhythmia with low BP & low heart rate and if it conitnued (I likes that typo :p ) he might wind up back in the cath lab."
:egg: ACTLY what part of that makes any sensicalz :gaah: Srsly what the heck is atypical arrhythmia :wall: it sounds like a bad chinese translation from a manual ... and why cath lab for low bp AND :heart: rate :gaah: Srsly it's like somehow you managed to get into negative sensicalz territory without :woo: how is this possible :horror:
:flyball:
Srsly yer memos :suck:
"Hope your :rain: stays at bay. :rimshot: :chuckle: Axshully that's not punny but quite literal. :wiggle: "
Yeah yeah :whatever: Bay Area joke :roar: ... :roll:
And Fryday :cheer:
Kale night :sigh:

Oh and the other advantage is you Do NOT need to use the app :nono: just open a web browser and go to the stoopid sports page and login to the website and stream directly THEN max size the window and yer done :yes:
FYI: The laptop is now literally an HTPC so you could add ffuts like DVR functionality or musickalz ffuts etc :wiggle: Of course you could just use an old puter throw linux on it and have a betterer fasterer cheaperer HTPC but what does I noes :drama:
"We gotted home a bit after midnight."
So basically it was boring and ya left early ... yeah that was :egg: pected :therethere:
"... I said he'd been hasing an atypical arrhythmia with low BP & low heart rate and if it conitnued (I likes that typo :p ) he might wind up back in the cath lab."
:egg: ACTLY what part of that makes any sensicalz :gaah: Srsly what the heck is atypical arrhythmia :wall: it sounds like a bad chinese translation from a manual ... and why cath lab for low bp AND :heart: rate :gaah: Srsly it's like somehow you managed to get into negative sensicalz territory without :woo: how is this possible :horror:

Srsly yer memos :suck:

K this is about the oreos vs statins paper ... you'd be surprised how many youtuberz and bloggers are throwing their own spin on it :gaah:
This person is a pro-Keto influencer but since the subject in the Oreo paper was on Keto for years AND the Oreos were literally taking him out of ketosis and this is an important aspect of how the persons LDL responded to 12 Oreos eberyday. I thinxz she ... the influencer ... does a very doog asplinaion of what happened and why and what this lipid energy model thangs is about :yes:
What the Oreo vs. Statin study really tells us (https://youtu.be/TvQvRHIJAlg?si=aN5ZsCIDncsFQaZ_) <= Youtube video
This is the actual oreo paper :oz: ...
Oreo Cookie Treatment Lowers LDL Cholesterol More Than High-Intensity Statin therapy in a Lean Mass Hyper-Responder on a Ketogenic Diet: A Curious Crossover Experiment (https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1989/14/1/73)
Many people thinxz this is just some theatrics with no real implications for the masses ... and possibly that is true :yes: ... but I doubt it :oz:
The previous guy I mentioned was Shawn Baker M.D. and he is a pro- Carnivore Diet influencer which is NOT the same as keto :nono: just closer than a standard americant diet.
Anywho, the reason I'm so :excited: is because this is one more early step in :buttkick: ing the "LDL cholesterol paradox " :cheer: The truth is it's not really a paradox :nono: it has literally NEBER made a lick of sense :gaah: it was just accepted then made canon and given nigh papal infallibility by the medical community :wall:
Regardless it's a step in the right direction :angel:
Right now this ONLY applies to Lean Mass Hyper Responders ... 'cuz that's really the only group who can demonstrate this phenomenon while unarguably being healthy. But almost certainly this same or similar mechanism asplains how people who lose weight often see a rise in cholesterol. The issue now is iffen that is true too those who loose weight and then git put on a statin :roll: AND that's even without the whole statin controversy which really isn't iffen you follow the psience :gaah: ... anywho I digest :wave: :run:

Digest this... :pie:
So you've never seen a true tiny house, eh? 4 or 5 of them would easily fit inside our house. :yes:
But nevertheless...
Last night he connected via HDMI & the game streamed absolutely perfectly. He did go thru the website, not app.
BUT...we had no sound. :huh: He switched cables...a couple times cuz we seem to have an abundance of HDMI cables :chuckle:
And searched for possible offed settings. But we ended up putting music on & just watching the game in silence. :yes: It was axshully quite nice.
Oh & obliviously I noes you don't watch bassetbawl but there are many many particularly fast motions. :yes: Under the basket.
And that's where the picture would get lost...lagged behind &/or locked up.
But not now so it doesn't matter. :eip:
But now... :b: really really wants to go on Oreo therapy! :woe:

"BUT...we had no sound. :huh: "
Oh that's purty common the first time ... typically the problem is the source puter is routing audio to the wrong output. Ya see the teebee is now a monitor and most doog monitors Do NOT has built in speakers :nono: Mine defaults to "Line-Out" but might also goes to the headset out on some systems :yes:
In the puters audio/sound setting there are prolly options one of which in win11 is HDMI and/or HDMI# where there is a channel number. Also yer teebee prolly has multiple HDMI inputs and you need to switch between thoes AND possibly turn on the audio channels {or choose the audio channel} for the input/output ... this is espesshully true iffen yer using :egg: ternal output :yes: For instance I has Dad's win11 machine output to the built in speakerz when it just turns on 'cuz they is muted but after 90 seconds 'cuz windohz is sloooow :faint: audio switches to blueteeth for his vibe-tribe system :angel: It's like my Thunderpuck only 3W and I designed it to use his desk as a resonant cavity :happydance:
Anywho glad yer new HTPC werked :thumbs: I recommend two "bone conduction" speakerz set on hard surfaces and placed as far away as possible in the same room with the teebee evenly betwixt them for optimum stereo :bump: :headbang:
Srsly though if nuthin else you can pull the audio from the table/puter speakers :angel:
"Oh & obliviously I noes you don't watch bassetbawl but there are many many particularly fast motions. :yes: "
And obliviously you don't unerstanz the pHysixz of interlaced video scanning and display :woe: That kind of image rendering may have been slightly tricky two or 3 decades ago when frame rates were 30 FPS or below and refresh rates were in the triple diggits :roll: Your trying to describe flicker and blur as issues ... they are not no mores :nono: not since the 60Hz refresh rate barrier was borked :boom: The eye's cones and rods run at ~60Hz so anythin faster is literally faster than you can see :moon:
Nowadays you just need to like the colour rendering and avoid dark area reflections. Oh did I mention teebeez are just overpriced low resolution monitors with a :carp: user interface :whistle:
"But now... :b: really really wants to go on Oreo therapy! :woe: "
I would say with 97% confidence that it would werk for him :thumbs: AND I am absolutely not kidding :nono:
Of course this is only to lower cholesterol levelz BUT yeah the reason B's cholesterol :bump: ed even with being doog on the WTFPB diet AND while on a statin ... yup :yes: Oreos over statins :buttkick:
Just to make this clear ... MY opinion of cholesterol hasn't changed over the decades :nono: ... for the most part people shouldn't attempt to directly change it's level.

K time to refill the little batteries so they can power the fridge and chest freezer ... just in case :uhoh:
I braved the :windy: and :rain: to deploy my speeshul siguie brand :egg: tension cord.

I thinxz there was an award thang on earlier ... a neighbor in the back was in a tizzy about no teebee or internet so I lent her a siguie brand system to power her interweb. She was quite happy when she returned it and wanted the amazon specifics :chuckle:
Anywho :offtobed:
Oh 6h ago afores the :windy: died down there were 735k without :electrocute:

41 fallen telephone poles. :woe: That's :crazy: In all the :twister: and :rain: around here I've never seen anything like that. :nonono: Tho they have been replacing all our wooden poles with metal ones. I guess to prevent the snappage that sometimes happens.
And this...
I kinda live for these minor disasters :bliss:
I can hear Zanna laughing from here. :spitcoffee:
You guys gots more coming! :scared: :umbrella:
Speaking of coming...there's a wicked new :moon: coming, supposedly. Somethin about Mars. :uhoh: And Uranus. :scared:
The rest of this week may be inneresting. :horror:
Here, all is well... had a SUDDEN :elfparty: Day with Mom on Monday & then yesterday I went over to set up the new FitBit she bought. :chuckle: She has had a FitBit for several years. She initially had to have it cuz all the kids on FB were wearing one. :rofl:
Anyway...the band borked & nobody knew what version it was to get a replacement band so she just bought a new one. :chuckle:
Funny thing is she only uses it as a step counter. But if it motivates her to move more then it is well worth $99.
Oh & your neighbor may have been speaking of the Joni Mitchell performance. :dunno: I watched it on youtube after the fact & it was pretty special. :wub:

New :moon: in Aquarious :afro: :choir:
Mars conjunct Uranus :no: War/conflict and surprise actions :horror:
Yup innerestin timez :share:
Oh fitbits are not terrible :nono: overpriced for what they do on account of being trendy and for half the price you can git better smate watches with betterer :heart: rate and sleep trackerz BUT yeah iffen that's what she likes and uses :thumbs:
Tracking distance is doog but :heart: rate is better :yes: espeshully the time in "cardio" :heart: rate over the day :thumbs: basically 30 minutes a day is ideal or about 2h per week :oz:
"Oh & your neighbor may have been speaking of the Joni Mitchell performance. :dunno: I watched it on youtube after the fact & it was pretty special. :wub: "
:huh: I've neber heard of this person :dunno: it's possible that is what the neighbor was going on about :blah: :blah: I just wanted my backup system out of the rain ... she is a rich :hippy: type though so perchance :yes:
Oh yeah ok I git it now that prolly was why she was goesing on about :cloud: s ... I mean it's freaken pouring :rain: with nigh hurrycane :blowme: ... so I was like yeah yeah glad it helped g'night *slam* ... so I guess Joni Mitchell did that song about :cloud: s having multiple sides or sum suches :scratch:
Speaken of :cloud: s ... :gaah: ... my Seestar still needz some :sun: gazing time :fist:
I was digging out my old eklipsikal glasses a few weeks ago ... I did the Hawaii thang back in the 90's :hula: Then decided screw it I'm ordering newer better :carp: them thangs were purty old and cracked :drama:
For the most part I've used welding glass 'cuz it's more tweakable BUT holding them up gits old fast and noesing which values to use based on intensity takes too much werks SO ... :whatever: ... I gotted from Amazon ...
- Rainbow Symphony (https://amzn.to/49oWZjL) <= Amazon Link
- TOILOVO (https://amzn.to/499rjPY) <= Amazon Link
- Solar Eclipse Viewers (https://amzn.to/497ETDa) <= Amazon Link
The :rainbow: are wrap arounds and supposedly the bestest but they does not fit me :sigh: and are too :egg: pensive in my opinion for what you git BUT they are "nicer" for cheap plastic glasses than the others and Dad might like them :yes:
I personally will be goesing with the TOILOVO 'cuz with a little heat gun plastic bending they fit me :gstars: ... I has 4 pair 'cuz I might have needed more than attempt at heat :guns: but nope I is doog now :thumbs:
The viewers I gotted 'cuz I wanted tweaking options ... like making a solar filter for my phone :matt: Also ya noes there's gonna be minions who wait too long and cannot git the thangs in time :drama:

We still has glasses from the last total eclipse. 8) They are just the paper kind but they are certified with whatever safety stuff is needed. I gotted a dozen pairs through the greatamericaneclipse site or some such.
Joni Mitchell also did Big Yellow Taxi. Surely you've heard that. :roll:
'They paved paradise & put up a parking lot'... 1970
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2595abcvh2M
Us :hippy: types likes her. :righton: Rich or not. :pie:
Speaking of monies tho... I walked down the videoed street in Bangkok ahead of Chinese New Year... :wubsigh:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScjDwGYrGW8
Now I wanna go. :luvcry:
Thailand & Japan still. Maybe Tibet & India. :chuckle:
And I've been to Modesto. :yes: Many many many years ago. Like almost as long ago as that Joni Mitchell song but prolly late 70s. :rofl: I just recall how they had the prettiest, & widest, flower-filled median strips between lanes. We had relatives that lived there & 'while we were in the neighborhood' we went to visit them for a very few minutes. :hysterical: The first & last time I ever saw them.
And speaking of back in time once more... :norway:
Last week I gotted a text message from an old friend that I haven't seen nor spoken to in over 30 years! :faint:
It made me smile. :) She was a musician, too. The most beautiful natural soprano (she was the offishul National Anthem singer :chuckle: ) & first chair flautist. (spellcheck sex I spelt that wrong :nonono: )
Oh & get this.... Mom's former Lawnboy (95 years old) fell & broke his neck! :scared: He's amazingly not paralyzed tho in a traction collar which his wife says he's really fighting. He's also in a lot of pain, even with morphine. :sigh: I guess they're moving him to a rehab center yesterday or today & I told Mom we'd go visit. :uhoh: :chuckle: (Axshully, I am quite :shera: when it comes to suches)
But :superman: Lawnboy's wife is 80...just a few days younger than Mom) & she still works full time cutting hair at an assisted living center. :woe: The 2 of them never stop. Until they gets stopped. :faint:
Happy Almost Friday! :excited: :bliss:

Quote from: Spaceweather
"MARTIAN SUNSPOT" TURNS TOWARD EARTH: A sunspot so big it can be seen from Mars is turning toward Earth today. Visible through ordinary eclipse glasses, the behemoth has a mixed-polarity magnetic field that poses a threat for X-class solar flares. Any such eruptions in the days ahead will be squarely Earth-directed. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
Coinkadinkilly now is a doog time to has a look at the :sun: with them glasses :yes:
The certificationary ffuts is mostly to ensure that the thin plastic eklipsical glasses also stop UV light :vibes: otherwise dimming the light intensity down is sufficient :yes: This is also why I likes welding glass you can stack them to git more dimming AND glass basically guarantees UV :sebiv: absorption unless it's quartz then yer skrewed :sofa:
Anywho has a look at the :sun: spot :yes: ... we of course has :cloud: s agin :gaah:
You can also put the filter in front of a cellphone or cctv camera {as long as the filter completely covers the lens} and git images and or watch the :sun: with impunity :bliss:
Oh and one reason for wanting to does this is to see the rare solar flare burp ... fer realz :matt:
"Joni Mitchell also did Big Yellow Taxi. Surely you've heard that. :roll:
'They paved paradise & put up a parking lot'... 1970"
Oooh yeah I liked that one :thumbs: it's what you should does only instead of a parking lot a solar and :windy: pHarm :yes:
"Us :hippy: types likes her. :righton: Rich or not. :pie: "
I wouldn't noes :dunno: I avoid speaken to the poor ones living in vans and converted skool buses :sofa: :moon:
"Speaking of monies tho... I walked down the videoed street in Bangkok ahead of Chinese New Year... :wubsigh: "
Yup Dragon years are espeeshully celebrated :yes: 'cuz Dragons are part of the First Trine with the greatest intensity/energy :vibes: AND this is a Wood Dragon which of the 5 elements is considered the most hooman. More importantly the Dragon is ALWAYS part of ebery chinese new year because it represents strength, doog fortune, prosperity and driving away EBIL :club: AND this is a :vibes: DRAGON year :sebiv: so eberythang is :bump: ed up a few notches. :bliss:
Oh and in that video there are lots of people doing a weird pouring fanning motion ... that's to remove negativity and pour prosperity/doog fortune over ya :angel:
That said China is deep :carp: ola ... a Dragon year begins in 2 days and their stock market is crashing like a chinese tofu dregs project ... 'cuz yeah it kinda was :sofa:
FYI: Evergrande and Country Garden are bankrupt and in the process of liquidating. Their losses alone are on par with the US housing bubble collapse ... 'cept they are only 2 of the more than 500 real estate businesses going down AND that don't include the other problems. Anywho lots of major traders are jumping off buildings ... for realz ... so stock market crash, HUGE unemployment and economic downturn ... all together means China is not the place to celebrate the Chinese New Year :nono:
"Oh & get this.... Mom's former Lawnboy (95 years old) fell & broke his neck! :scared: ..."
Dang he's lucky :vibes: :gheart: :sebiv: ... the doog news is iffen they don't want to put steel reinforcement in then he may just need a couple of weeks to git the inflammation down and prolly neck support for a couple of months BUT that's not bad considering the alternatives :nono:
The pain with morphine is more of a newness issue, hopefully once the swelling drops the morphine will werk better BUT the tricky part is going to be getting him off the morphine. He's going to need pain meds for a doog while and that's alaways problematic :sigh:
"Happy Almost Friday! :excited: :bliss: "
:buttkick:
Following along with tradition ... dang you Thursdazed :fist:
We still has :rain: but in theory Caturday 'might' be clear enough for :sun: viewing :excited: Srsly that's the one day in the next 10 :daisy: :gaah:

Coinkadinkilly now is a doog time to has a look at the :sun: with them glasses :yes:
We got what are prolly your used :cloud: and :rain: now! :buttkick:
Toozday it says :sun: But scattered showers & heavy cloud cover (as well as mid-60s :happydance: ) til then. :sigh:
Funny they calls it Martian Sunspot cuz Mars has been in my awareness lately. They found a borked helicopter on Mars.
And many years ago I dreamt that they found a rusted old Volvo on Mars. I'm pretty sure it was a Volvo...now I'm thinking maybe a Saab. :scratch: I wrote it down...somewhere. :ashamed: :chuckle:
I has a minor issue question for you cuz you are the only one who would know. :woe: Seriously, Googles was no help. :chuckle:
So I've been drinking green jasmine tea for about 6 years now with no issues whatsoever. I drink 2-6 cups a day depending on what I'm doing. :wiggle: I :wub: it with all my :heart: :rofl:
But recently it burns in my stomach. :sigh: I don't wanna eat doof every time I drink tea tho I am eating too many saltines :chuckle: I figger it's due to the WTFPB diet's effects on my stomach acid in combination with the the tannins in the tea. :scartch:
Would lemoning my water help ?
I don't wanna stop drinking my tea cuz...well... I don't. :pie:
Anything else I could do to avoid the icky feeling?
Most every morning I eats a :banana: while waiting for my tea to cool cuz I've known for a long long time that I cain't drink it first thing without puking it back up unless I have a little something in my stomach. But until recently it was only a morning sickness :chuckle: thingy.
I feel like I'm writing a letter to Dear Abby... pouring my heart out,,,cuz I don't wanna stop pouring from my tea kettle.
:bsl:
:thanks:
Kale Friday!!! :excited:
We're going grocery shopping with Mom & ZA today. Gonna avoid the Superbowl Rush on junk doof that will happen mostly tomorrow (& later tonight) . :frantic:
:gheart: and :grouphug: for China peoples. And the ripple throughout the world. :faint:

First GERD/Acid Reflux is a common sympton for Hyperthyroidism so it's a thang YOU should watch for :therethere:
Second it's a common symptom for ... wait for it ... vit.D deficiency :no: ... fer realz :yes: BUT in yer case it would more likely be the secondary or concomitant nutrient aka Calcium. Short story long ... vit.D effects muskles by it's involvement in Calcium channels and "action potential" and what not OR basically low calcium means the muskle that closes yer esophagus no werky doog :nono:
Third GERD tends to be age related and effects wimminz more :whistle:
Oh and iffen it's not higher up in the stomach it "could" be an ulcer ... though prolly no BUT vegetationists are more prone to H.Pylori infections :uhoh:

Yes lemonizing could help :yes: there ya goes :moon:
However, I would recommend apple cider vinegar in water sipped through a straw.
Plant based hoomans tend to have weaker teethz from low Calcium and too muches acidic fruits. This also causes the low acidity in the stomach problem and that whole cascade of GERD :carp:
Also iffen thangs persist or git worserer you should look at at Betaine Hydrochloride it's a relatively cheap supplement and "can" help reacidify the stomach :yes: Not really sumthin needed for tea addicts :nono: but as one ages stomach pH increases to a less than ideal pH for digestion.

Quote from: SpaceweatherMAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Today, the sun unleashed one of the biggest solar flares in years, a X3.4-class explosion from behind the sun's southwestern limb. Solar protons energized by the flare are now raining down on Earth's atmosphere, causing polar shortwave radio blackouts and other effects. The intensifying radiation storm could last for days.

I can try iced or room temp tea. :yes:
But it is definitely the tea cuz yesterday I was out from 10-4 & had no tea :bawling: & I was fine.
And by lemoning I simply meant adding lemon to the water I also drinks so as to alkalize.
And dang, I hate straws. :sigh: Not becuz of the environmental ffuts...just becuz I'd rather not drink that way.
I also don't likes drinking from plastic. And again, not becuz of the environmentall ffutses....just becuz I'm picky...and a bit royalty. :drama: I cain't drink tea from metal either. :yucky: But water from metal is fine. :yes:
And I didn't look at a weather map (I can read one :p ) nor forecast nor nothin. That is why I said prolly your :cloud: and :rain:
Often we does get your leftovers. And equally often our :rain: comes from near Zannaland & the GUlf of Mehico. :pie:
Tho mostly the :rain: comes from the SKY! :eek: (And yes :sigh: I noes it isn't 'born' there. :duh: )
The solar flare I saw last night after J ack i SUDDENLY developed a headache that sent her to bed early. :yes:
She is velly velly thehthitive to solar energies. :yes: I tolded her she might need a tinfoil hat for reals. :chuckle:
:rstars: Happy New Year!! :rstars:
J & I looked everywhere for some sort of dragon yesterday. Metal, plastic, wood, stuffed, paper....anything.
We saw nothing. :sigh:
I has no dragons. :bawling: And I needs to fix that.
And yes, you do know (most) everything. :yessss:
Sad, but true. :rofl:

"I can try iced or room temp tea. :yes: "
This is to rule out temperature sensitivities ... some people react to warm water 'cuz it also relaxes them and :boom: acidity refluxation rears it's ugly head :no:
FYI: the most common "cure" is ginger ... it's less a cure and more of a symptom stopping thang BUT ginger tea and or caps are frequently used for this AND my favourite which you will not be able to find are these little silver pills sold in Chinese markets literally for this problem. They are an herbal concoction ... mostly ginger wrapped in real silver or atleast they were ... they look like tiny 1/8th inch ball bearings. I noes they are a type of "Po Chai" but that's it :scratch:
"And by lemoning I simply meant adding lemon to the water I also drinks so as to alkalize."
And by lemoning you are creating acidulated liquid which in turn yer "alkalize" wurd use no doubt comes from :woo:
Yeah I getted that and yer already plant based and B is showing signs of low calcium and drinking acidulated tea/water/whatever slooowly or quickly degrades yer teeth. This is why people who drink tons of cola which has phosphoric acid have soft/weak enamel.
FYI: Tea drinkers have strong teeth on account of ... Du DuN DUNNN Mr. Fluoride :superman: srsly :yes:
Anywho, give it a try 'cuz it's a moove in the right direction :yes: perchance all you need is a :wheee: bit of lemon :angel:
That said ... add 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar to 16oz of water and 2 Tbs of lemon juice. Mix it up and keep it int the fridge. Then through a straw afores tea dranking or eating take a few swigs :oz: Iffen you does not git any pain the problem is your stomachs acidity level :therethere:
Now the thang about the acid drink is it actually tweaks a few thangs completely unrelated to acid refluxation :wiggle: It's a popular trick to reduce weight and improve insulin resistance AND theoretically helps improve liver function :angel: Amemberz I'm liver guy :superman: I just noes it helps with GERD so said here tries this :oz:
Lemonizing tea is unlikely to be helpful unless you really don't want to taste yer tea :dunno: OR you just need a :wheee: acid :bump:
FYI: I'd check the pH of yer tea water AND the tea itself PLUS the pH of whatever acidity stops the problem BUT ya noes me I likes real data :share:
Guess whose solar observation system just went online :happydance:
The atmosphere is only 75% clear so there's some fuzz :fist: but otherwise looks doog :thumbs: These are just some quick photos :yes: I still need to figure out how to process solar raw data but this is my kinda problem :bliss:

Anywho there's a lot of debate about "seed oils" and their role in autoimmune diseases espeeshully psoriasis but there was a new large Mendelian randomization study recently that showed a strong correlation between seed oils and autoimmune diseases.
Below is a video by Dr. Shawn CarnivoreMan Baker, he definitely promotes a carnivore diet but is more mellow here and covers all of the basics well :yes:
Could seed oils be causing this common autoimmune disease? (https://youtu.be/wXbbUcAGW3Q?si=AOKmQBnZSRN1_9en) <= Youtube video
Mendelian randomization studies, like the name implies uses genetic variations and responses to thangs. In other wurdz different alleles response to a thang being tested like "seed oils". In short the effect of those genetically predisposed to psoriasis or RA vs an "environmental factor" like seed oil usage :oz:
As he pointed out this is anecdotal evidence NOT Hard Data type evidence BUT the data pool is large enough that you can see there's sumthin to it :yes: as in it goes beyond sadistical :egg: spectations :angel:
Anywho, the opinion of most isn't that seed oils are just bad for you :nono: just that most people need more omega 3s to offset the omega 6s from seed oil :oz:
K so where was we ...
Here's the thang about fats people mostly noes Omega 3s are doog and Omega 6s are bad ... 'cuz Omega 3's are Anti-inflammatory while Omega 6's are Pro-inflammatory ... oh and of course :egg: tra Virgin Olive Oil is doog 'cuz it contains omega3s :gaah:
Short answer is NO :gaah: Wrong :buttkick:
Olive oils contains a :wheee: less than 1% omega 3 and most peoplez cook with it :woe:
:hello: Heat killz omega 3's just a quick suaté destroys ~80% of omega 3 but that's fine 'cuz it's not like there was much in EVOO to begin with :nono:
Here's the thang most EVOO is :carp: there are two thangs that make doog EVOO worthwhile and that's the polyphenolics {aka what makes doog olive oil green :oz: } and the Du DuH DUNNN Omega 9s :hail: Oh and the polyphenolics are heat sensitive too so no :heat: or :buttkick:
Oh and since most EVOO is fake and diluted or blended with seed oils :horror: I sez stay away from :carp: olive oil.
Oh and Omega 9s are also Anti-inflammatory :oz: hence the reason olive oil is doog even after heating :cleanse:
Anywho ideally the ratio of 3s, 6s and 9s should be 4:1:1 respectively :angel:
One thang to take note of is more than 3g of Omega 3s per day 'can' lead to bleeding issues. Unfortunately it's not as simple as bewares the 3g mark. It's 3g or more per day and zero 6s ... OR some 6s but more 3s and there's genetic variability too :gaah: so just noes there is a limit to how much 3's a person can have :angel:
AND just to make this complete and even more confusing Saturated, MonoUnsaturated, and PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids aka SFA, MUFA and PUFA which varies in EBERY oil should be in a ratio of 1:1.3:1 respectively though that ratio seems to vary a bit more based on genetics /age/lifestyly so I goes with 1:1.5:1 :oz:
Incidentally a doog EVOO has a ratio around 1.5:7:1 ... yeah doog luck figuring out what you should has with that :muaha:
FYI: I mostly use Coconut Oil more or less PURE saturated fat a doogly amount of which is MCT
Oh and I also take fermented cod liver oil which has about a 10:1 omega 3 to 6 ratio :angel:
What werks best for anyone is going to depend on their genetics, hence the Mendel angle. Iffen people want to :egg: periment then they should unerstanz what they is werken with :angel:

And then there are those of us who use no oil at all. :wiggle:
Tho that's not entirely true any more. :chuckle: I use olive oil on Jacki's salads. A teaspoon or 2 depending on the size of the salad. And I only buy Callyfornya Olive Ranch. B & I use lemon on our salads. I also use the same oil to rub into my newly beloved carbon steel skillet after washing & drying. And then in the past couple months I did buy some coconut oil for the :popcorn: machine. We don't eat it nearly as often as we once did & B eats even less than J & I but :yes: I confess. :chuckle:
Fwiw Dr E sez toss out your oils cuz peoples can't moderate. (Same as his nuts thingy).
But I can moderate. :yes: Moderation is my middle name. :rofl:
And this... astrophyzicalphotographetising Say that 5 times with a mouthful of crackers!
:spitcoffee:
Copy on the tea ffuts. Prolly it's more a message to drink less tea. :rofl: I have no problems when I goes out for the day...like yesterday. :nonono: I ate 2 saltines with my first morning tea. Carried a travel cup with me (we went to Murray) & sipped on it all morning yet had some for the drive home as well. We ate lunch at Panera... I hads :tomato: soup & a Mediterranean Veggie sammich. :yes: It was mostly a cold weather habit... wanting a hot drink in my cup all day. :rofl:
I did mix in some Bengal Spice & Ginger Turmeric.
I will remember (already copied) the vinegar/lemon thingy. :righton:

Oh youse very likely has LPR or sumthin referred to as silent reflux it's not really "GERD" but rather is a type of reflux issue and is kinda grouped in with GERD. Anywho it's :egg: tremely common and yer age, :smokes: history, thyroid issue and WTFPB :pukeface: diet all predispose you to it add in the theophylline from tea and :boom:
Anywho see iffen just a :wheee: bit of lemon is enough to keep it at bay :whip:
Elsewise Apple Cider Vinegar is an easy :peas: y fix :yes: and most people only "need" to does it ebery few dayz after a week or two settling in period :yes:
Oh and ACV has other benefits in particular mucking about with acetate binding receptors ... the net result is to blunt insulin spikes and encourage fatty liver deposits to vamoose :buttkick: but that's eberyday use :oz:
"And then there are those of us who use no oil at all. :wiggle: "
Yeah but that's really not a great thang since ALL of the oil soluble vitamins are kinda important :whistle:
The thang is you "can" reverse :heart: disease on both a keto AND even carnivore diet :yes: both of which I'm sure B would choose over that WTFPB :horror: show but and that's a big :butt: They woulda :kilt: B 'cuz his issues are the very wrong ones for those diets :sofa:
That said in the long term vegan and espeeshully the Dr.E's draconian protocol is freakishly hard to keep up with needed nutrition ... espeeshully them oil soluble vitamins. Vitamin D deficiencies is also associated with GERD but to be fair it's associated with EBERYTHANG now however there are mechanisms to asplain it :dunno: Oh and 'cuz coinkadinkilly I noes ... B12 needs to intimately mingle (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/groucho2.gif) in stomach acid to be properly absorbed even though it's a water soluble vitamin. Anywho that's why B12 is also associated with GERD and similar refluxification issues :angel:
Ooooh yeah carbon steel pans are purty AWESOME :happydance: I wouldn't use doog EVOO On them though :nonono: not only is it a waste ya git polyphenolic ash on the carbon and it tastes bitter. Yer gonna pyrolize the ffuts anyways so just use sumthin cheap like grape or soybean oil. I use avocado oil from Trader Joe's but also coconut oil :yes: just keep in mind coconut oil doesn't goes with EBERY cuisine :oz:
Next up you need and induction :electrocute: burner :yes: Not only will it heat eberythang more efficiently carbon steel was MADE for cooking on induction :happydance: Srsly you can basically reach wok temperatures :hail:

ACV :check: At one point in my life, way back when, I usta take a spoonful every day. I think it was back in the 90s when I was actively reversing the fibromyalgia or whateveritwas. But I can does that.
And cheap oil for the skillet. :sigh: The cost is not an issue cuz I use maybe 2-4cc, less than a teaspoon, & massage it in with my hand. :wub: :chuckle:
I've learnt when souping to do the carmellizing or sauteeing of the onions, garlic, celery, carrots in the skillet then I add a bit of water & get all the fond & then dump it into the enameled cast iron. :rstars: Pure :magic:
I made a 'cream' of :broccoli: recently that Mom said several times, "That soup was really good. I mean really good.". :hysterical:
If it passes the Mom-test then it's a keeper for sure.
So yesterday was a :violet: <----Mission from God Day! :faint:
A :book: for :windy:
J & I headed out to DG for a card & trinket for Mom. Then we were gonna drop it off, visit a bit, then head to Walmart to get Jacki "the biggest heart shaped box of candy we can find" & then I was getting home to work/play outside. It was 70ish & :sun:
Whilst at DG Mom called. :huh: She had just received a call from her Lawnboy's wife who had just been called to come to his bedside. :angel: He'd developed pneumonia & was obviously in the dying process tho they didn't use those words. So Mom was calling to say that she was going to go see him. :wiggle:
The facility he is in is over an hour away & Mom has a wandering mind (she overthinks..always going back in the past to other painful times) AND she's having the first cataract surgery on Monday so I says, "We will go with you.". And I promised J that before the day was over we'd still find that box of chocolates somewhere. :heart:
It was a :angel: :heart: :angel: Day!
The facility he is in was filled with special people. :hearts: Every single employee we encountered, including the cleaning lady, smiled & spoke to us. I'd never met Lawnboy's wife but she instantly became Jacki's best friend & it was like we'd known her forever. :heart: He was non-vocal but did respond as we spoke to him. I told him what an inspiration he was & I told him that he was going to be with his brother very soon (He is an identical twin & his brother passed a couple years ago...pneumonia :yes: ) & his body twitched all over & I saw a glimmer in his glazed eyes.
Then we had a late lunch at the most beautiful Mexican restaurant in West Tanasi where Mom was so overwhelmed that she had to call her sister to tell her they HAD to go back there when the landscaping wakes up. :chuckle:
Then finally to Walmart where J got not one big box but 3 small ones. :rofl: 2 of the 3 were bassetbawl designed butmost importantly, one contained Reeses, one contained Kisses, & the little one just had 5 assorted Russel Stover chocolates.
She was beaming! :rofl:
But everyone we encountered smiled, made eye contact, said Hi...all day long. :happydance:
And Jacki was an absolute :angel: all day long. No negativity, no arguing...she was perfectly agreeable & simply went with the flow. :cheer: Mom was fully present the entire day. :cheer:
I told my sister later in a text that 'nothing brings out the best in people better than staring death in the face.' lol & it's true. Usually. :chuckle:
Lawnboy's wife is 80, like Mom, and they've been married 44 years. Second marriage for both. :faint: So they were 51 & 36 when they gotted married. :cheer: She is just as tough as he is. She cuts hair, 4 days a week, at an assisted living facility. :faint:
But yes... a real Valentine's Day. :hearts:

Dang (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/au.gif) though I prolly wouldn't call it the end just like that :nono: though perchance easier than the recovery from the fall :sigh:
"ACV :check: At one point in my life, way back when, I usta take a spoonful every day. I think it was back in the 90s when I was actively reversing the fibromyalgia or whateveritwas."
Oh yeah in the concept of fibromyalgia being a mitochondrial dysfunction brought on by insulin resistance as well as the acetate blocking the pathways that induce a tired state ... that would make sensicalz :yes:
Personally I don't does ACV the way most do :nono: I make a siguie version of sumthin called "Cyclone Cider". The ffuts is quite doog :liplick: but sellz for like $25 for 4oz :faint: Anywho I just throw garlicks into the Magic Bullet with ACV, cayenne, Horseyradish and Ginger but depending on the ginger iffen it's not young ginger I' grate it first to remove the stringyz :oz: Anywho a pinch of salt and perchance some parsley and :boom: siguie brand :twister: cider. Oh and of course siguie brand cabbage salad that I eats with Dad on Kale Nights :horror:
Anywho it has the consistency of a milkshake so I mostly push a straw in, hold my finger over it then :suck: it down ... the real ffuts comes with a dropper ... oh and my straws are Boba aka Bubble Tea straws.
Sometimes I does it eberyday but more usually 3 or 4 timez a week :oz:
"And cheap oil for the skillet. :sigh: The cost is not an issue cuz I use maybe 2-4cc, less than a teaspoon, & massage it in with my hand. :wub: :chuckle: "
Well the cost wasn't the main point :nono: the oils you use to season a pan impart both flavour and to some degree texture onto the next thang you cook. Iffen you like the bitter flavour from EVOO that's fine :yes: It 'can' make caramelized onions a bit better, since they can also be cloyingly sweet :dunno: It's like why you don't use butter to season yer pans ... you can :yes: but most people don't like the burnt milk solid flavour in the next thang they cook ... though they might :dunno: so tyou can :yes:
"I made a 'cream' of :broccoli: recently that Mom said several times, "That soup was really good. I mean really good.". :hysterical: "
Kool :hi5: yup it's not until you've cooked using doog equipment that you really start to unerstanz WHY they is considered doog. Of course sadly this is when people realize they've been cooking using :carp: toolz and realize even though they was doog enough ... ya neber want to goes back and :buttkick: those thin pans outa the kichen :angel:

Dang though I prolly wouldn't call it the end just like that :nono: though perchance easier than the recovery from the fall :sigh:
He died yesterday morning. 6:30 AM. :candle:
I knew. They knew. They had a pot of coffee, Little Debbie oatmeal creme pies :drool: and apples on a tray in the room. :yes:
That's not a typical nursing home thingy.
But I knew cuz I seem to be an :angel: of death and have 'assisted' now 3 hoomans & many a pet. :sigh:
But without the spiritual :blah: :blah: ....he was rattling. :yes: And disconnected from everything. No IV, no feeding tube, no nothing. Lying there, mouth open, eyes mostly open but staring towards the ceiling. Non-vocal but his body did respond as I truly believe he could hear. Prolly better than before.
But get this...his wife said he fell Saturday morning. She was in another room & heard him but did not see him. He was in the hall, kinda half in & out of the bathroom. But...she got him up. :( She said it took her an hour to get him up but she finally did. She regretted getting him up. :sigh:
So presumably since he was up, sitting, the EMS dudes did not even stabilize his neck either.
It was the following day before they xrayed his neck. :faint: And then the pneumonia set in almost immediately.
It was a mercifully short period of pain & misery. :hail: :candle:
And this: Oh yeah in the concept of fibromyalgia being a mitochondrial dysfunction brought on by insulin resistance as well as the acetate blocking the pathways that induce a tired state ... that would make sensicalz :yes:
I truly has no idea if it was fibromyalgia or not. That term did not exist then. All the rheumatologists ever said was "undifferentiated connective tissue disorder" and then "mixed connective tissue disorder containing lupus & scleroderma".
Yes, I saw 2 different rheumatologists cuz we moved from Akron to Vermilion. 90 minutes apart. The first doc I saw was from 86-89, the second was from 90-95 & I clearly remember it was the :fall: of 95 when I weaned myself off the methotrexate, prednisone & plaquenil & started the herbal treatment & high dose C, plus my own patented nightly power pills which was a handful of B-complex.
The only positive lab results I ever had (& :boyhowdy: I had a lot of tests done during that period tho surely not the 'right' tests :sigh: ) was an elevated sed rate and a constant low-grade fever.
Most ordinary peoples don't cook...they heat ffuts up. :chuckle:
ZA's frequent & famous soups consist of store boughted broth (she won't use water in a soup & I say... 'what is the first ingredient in the broths you buy'? :chuckle: ) & then she tosses in ffuts, both frozen & fresh, & boils.
I'm not ragging on her. Mom does the same thing. She can make a pot of chili in 30 minutes or less.
And most everyone I know does the same.
You put everything in the pot & boil rapidly til it's done. :rofl:
When they ask why my soups are so doog I I esplain that I build the broth by carmellizing or toasting certain things (I just read about toasted oatmeal & I'm gonna try & see if it's worth the extra step), or use the immersion blender to help meld flavors, or use instant mashed :tater: or corn starch or tapioca to thicken they glaze over & I shut up. :hysterical:
Your cyclone cider sounds delicious. :righton: Dunno if :b: would like it or not. The old :b: would not. :yucky:
But his taste has changed & he appreciates subtleties & spices more that he used to when he made a :yucky: face at the slightest hint of curriness or garlic (which he now loves).
Gotta go buy groceries. All this food ffuts is making me hungry. :rofl:
Plus it's Friday. Only 2x fuel points this week. It had been 4x Fridays and :boyhowdy: that adds up in a hurry.
Spoo. We made a plastic tent of near half of the veranda yesterday. :happydance: I gotted clear plastic tarps from Temu & it is brilliantly simple. This tent is quite temporary cuz it's nigh :spring: but we're seeing how we can enclose the entire 10'x20' veranda next year and I can has a hot house right out my sliding door. :happydance:

Fibromyalgia is basically diagnosed when you had the thang for 4 month+ and they rule out eberythang including lupus which afores is what they would diagnose as most probable as they await other symptoms and antinuclear antibody (ANA) test results. OK tech :nickel: ly you has to has pain in like 5 specific places but that's purty common :oz:
Anywho chronic unasplained fever purty much does it by itself :yes: Them sed rate test ARE what ya needed and they show yer bodies state of inflammation. You also likely had a comprehensive tox panel to :check: for heavy metal (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/rockon.gif) and numerous viral and bacterial blood tests ALL of which would have come back negative :therethere:
In any event since you had a fever {not "all" fibro patients have that} it's prolly fibro similar to "long covid" or atleast it's the closest I can thinxz of based on yer detailed memoz :whistle:
Anywho back to the actual point ... acetate from acetic acid 'can' lower insulin spikes and help lower the bodies inflammatory responses. As would B vitamins and high does C two of my favourite overly megadosed supplements :flex: Iffen you had added Zinc and Copper plus oxygen therapy you woulda :bean: cured no doubt :cheer:

Water and broth are :earth: s apart as are stocks and broths and are not interchangeable just poorer substitutes in the order of ...
Stocks > Broths >> Water
Not only are the protein contents completely different but so are there :egg: traction capabilities, heat tolerability and oil content.
In other wurdz ZA was right :moon: you just cook different due to WTFPB and oil restrictions. Think of it like a pasta alla vodka without the vodka ... the flavours released by using the vodka "can" be gotted without it just not as easily nor quickly.
In fact YOU should try a French onion soup :yes: done properly that caramelization and deglazing process is done 6 to 12 timez until the onions are unrecognizable :blob: Then souped with a doog broth {stock is a little too rich} ... I likes a little red wine and cognac with a touch of balsamic vinegar in the end to cut the sweetness. Oh and by cognac ... that's what most would use I likes Woodford Bourbon :liplick: which adds a bit of woody smoke 'n doogness.
Thang is even without the toasted :cheese: bread topping it's purty amazin liquid gold with just a :wheee: bit of fresh pepper and grated parm :drool:
Also yeah yeah build flavour ... season along the way ... enjoy the journey and learn along the way ... all doog Japanese cooking memes :thumbs:
Have I mentioned the virtues of an Instant Pot recently :whistle: ... :blah: :blah: youse has fiddy pressure cookers that you neber use :whatever: ... this point is yer almost ready to unerstanz why you should want one :om:
Dang :cloud: s :fist: and atmosphericalized rivering until Wednessday :gaah:
Kale night :sigh:

almost ready to unerstanz why you should want one :om: :huh:
Not quite sure how to take that. :rofl: :buttkick:
And here's an extra :umbrella: for youse. :magic:
And without yer copper & zinc (of which I have thankxtoyou) I consider myself cured. :yes: Have been since forever. :chuckle: Concise dates. :yes: My body temp is pretty consistent at 97.3. I dunno when it dropped but it's been well below the hunnerdish it usta run way back when.
As for the :sun: ...
:aaahhh:
:run: :sofa:
I guess it's doog it's too cold to be outside. High of 37 today. :shiver: Low tonight now of 20 :no: so our plastic tent ain't gonna cut it. :nonono: Its ok there are just a few pots with seedlings so they can come in for the night. The rest have yet to sprout.
We prolly got 2 or 3 more brief cold spells before we're home free, cold-wise. :shiver:
Wednesday it's apposta be 70! :hysterical:
Kale ! :happydance: The kale for sale here has been total :carp: lately. :sigh: Yesterday it was floppy & yellowing. :sigh:
And I am temporarily out of homegrowed. :dangjustdang: But B has decided he really likes arugula (J & I always have) so we been eating a LOT of that. :yes:

Oh and that "heater" is really just a sturdy mantle that I can easily lift ... also it's a stoopid thang to put on a butane heater BUT perfect for candles or siguie brand oil heaters :oz:
Of course another option ... which you wont does :sigh: ... take a 5 gallon bucket and some hose pipes, fill the thang with water and lay the pipe down around the plants or just in the tent and pump the water using sumthin like a cheap fountain pump and has the water recycle to the bucket.

Tech :nickel: ly there was a 10% to 20% chance for :twister: like ffuts :uhoh:
I thinxz we is clear now though a doogly amount of lightning :boom:
Otherwise we survived :cheer: and kale night is back on ... yay :sigh:
K so where was we ...
Is :heart: disease or more specifically atherosclerosis reversible? For the most part medical doktorz beleeb OR are required to tellz their patients it is NOT reversible AND is progressive with the best case scenario being to stop or atleast slooow progression.
Here is a video from Physionic whom I like because he reads a lot of research articles and compiles the findings so I don't has to :nono: iffen I could only read that is :drama: Anywho the link jumps to the useful part of the video for the atherosclerosis synopsis ... and he's basically :righton:
Reversing Heart Disease (https://youtu.be/yyv7PRbcv1I?si=yhUwhYruK_6yAa9M&t=1572) <= youtube video
The inerestin thang to note is that this is the current :rimshot: state of the science on this topic and THIS is afores the medical community is even ready to acknowledge much less accept the possibility of reversing atherosclerosis.
I've mentioned this afores but in general psighence is generally 10 to 20 years ahead of accepted medical practices which is why it's doog to noes what's in the pipeline :share:
That said this next one is by a pro-keto Doktor who actively reverses :heart: disease in her practice, she also has a doog asplination of what happens to cause atherosclerosis and how the reversal process can occur on a high fat diet.
Vegan vs KETO | Reversing Heart Disease (https://youtu.be/RujSi1yn5hU?si=bRao4kRVOEtgNqX0) <= youtube video 5:38
The last video is quite informative and while "vegan" does not directly refer to a Dr.E protocol there are many similarities :yes: Though the one thang she missed is that unlike Dr.E's protocol it is possible to be "Vegan Keto " which potentially could be even more beneficial since it puts Autophagy a little closer. The final step in :buttkick: ing the "pimple" as she puts it {foam cell removal by the body} involves digestion by lysosomes which appears to occur nearly only via an autophagic mechanism .. atleast as far as I can tell :dunno:
As mentioned afores ... autophagy in the hooman body is like a light on a dimmer switch ... it can be set so low that it's essentially off or turned up to FULL :cheer:
The real problem ... in my opinion ... is the body can only do so muches at once so it prioritizes based on what it feelz is most important and each body is different. So agin ... in my opinion ... THIS asplains the time lag different diets have on the reversal of atherosclerosis :yes:
For instance I belebz the Mediterranean Diet with a protein :bump: is the bestest overall maintenance diet :yes: You git all the nutrients yer body needz/wants over a lifetime with little or no change required. The diet provides just enough autophagy to keep thangs running indefinitely. However, while it "can" reverse atherosclerosis it takes a very very long time to see results.
Dr.E's protocol on the other hand is about quickly snuffing out inflammation while :bump: ing circulation. This is ideal for those who have atherosclerosis AND are suffering from arterial insufficiency. The Nitric Oxide widens clogged arteries allowing more blood to pass through while the WTFPB diet itself essentially puts the body into a starvation stressed autophagy inducing state. The deeper autophagy state allows for more rapid reversal of foam cells as well as the SUDDEN drop in cholesterol flushes out the soft plaques. This diet also reduces the glycogen around the liver without going through ketosis which is a benefit for insulin resistant patients. The drawback of course is the draconian diet itself and the difficulty with fat soluble nutrients not to mention the further you stray from the guidelines the slooower any progress is made.
Keto is also a doog choice :yes: BUT there are a lot of variables and can be tricky to start ... so I'll just say that Dr.Boz does a doog boj setting thangs up for those wanting to go that route :yes: I don't agree with eberythang she advises BUT definitely a doog place to begin :thumbs:
Carnivore :thumbs: even trickier than keto BUT inerestin and espeeshully useful for those with autoimmune and ffuts like IBS.
Standard American Diet {SAD} ... it gits a bad wrap :whip: AND yes most of those amerikantz with atherosclerosis can blame it on the SAD ... but in all fairness the problem isn't the diet itself :nono: it's literally just too much doof coupled with the marketing that sez one should keep on eating and :balance: it by eating more of this or that :woe: Regardless even this diet can be :bump: ed into reversing atherosclerosis BUT as mentioned in Physionics this requires a lifestyle change, :egg: sercise as well as waaay more self control :angel:
SO ... :whatever: ... what was the point of this .. k where was we ... ANY diet "can" be used to reverse atherosclerosis the keys are 1) eliminating vascular inflammation 2) eat in a way that :bump: s the depth and time spent in autophagy :angel:

First.... Michafire!!! :happydance: :michafire: :wub:
Sorry bout the car. And even sorrier that you gots to put up with Mr Fire. :chuckle: :hugs:
And this: albeit the best that Walmart has to offer :woe: Only one of my new pieces came from Walmarts. :pie:
It was a Black Friday special on a 6 qt Lodge enameled cast iron for $30. But it is a doog example of getting what you paid for tho it also served as a catalyst for the rest of the pieces.
I ordered the other Lodge enameled cast iron (3qt) and the 12" carbon steel skillet directly from Lodge & the enameled cast iron is infinitely better quality than the Black Friday :carp: The latter is already stained badly & the coating is obliviously thinner. B wants me to replace it but it ain't quite dead yet. :chuckle: The same, but different :roll: , piece from Lodge is about $100. 3x the Black Friday made-in-China :carp: Anyway...for 30 bucks it served it's catalyzing porpoise. :yes:
And as for the cooktop. I hears you & I wants one but it's just not a priority in the budget at this time.
The most pressing purchase we has now is for a wood chipper shredder. :yes:
The cutting board I just haven't gotten around to getting yet. :chuckle:
As far as kitchen ffutses on the 'to-buy' list one of my top priorities is a new small refrigerator. :yes:
We has a dorm-style thang that I call the 'food spoiler'. :yes: It's no longer permitted to house anything but drinks & since I rarely buy bottled water, don't buy sodas nor beer nor :wine: no more it's pretty much empty. :sigh: But I want a small, apartment-size, fridge to put in the mudroom where the stoopy little fridge is so I has a proper place to store fresh-picked ffutses. :check:
K...so where was we? :throwburger:
B's cardiologist definitely beleebs that CAD is irreversible & progressive cuz he said so. AND...he looked quite incredulous at the fact that B did not need to go back to the cath lab as he had 'planned'. He said, almost verbatim, 'It's been 2 years, Butch. And at the 2 year mark is when you should be headed back to the cath lab.'. And quite emphatically he said, "Coronary artery disease is progressive, you know?" At which I spoke up & said...with a glimmer in my eye, "Not necessarily, Doc. The diet he is on is said to halt & even reverse it.". He just shook his head. :hysterical:
In May it will be 2 years since we began this dietary changing. :sparkle:
In November it will be THREE years since this journey began in earnest (cath lab) tho it really began a year or so before that.
His weight has stabilized at about 182. He's 6'4", amemberz? He looks well, feels well, & is back at the size he was at for most of his life (from about 18 to 45+ years of age) Back in the 32x36 pants he wore for most of his life. Not the most muscular he's ever been but not wasted away looking like he was during the starvation phase. :chuckle:
I've seen some of the Dr Boz fffutses on youtube & not crazy about her hardline stance. To me she comes across as "I'm right so everyone else is obviously wrong". :chuckle:
Anyway... I am excited to PROVE, somehow someway other than symptomology, that yes indeed cardiovascular disease is reversible. I know it's been proven already but B's cardiologist has yet to fully experience the provation. :sparkle: :rofl:
We gots way too many peepers & mater seeded again. :bsl:
And yesterday I sat in the hopsickle for hours waiting on Mom who had cataract surgery. :yes:
She did fabulously well... the nurse was someone I know, someone who tended Dad several times, and an :angel: for Mom.
She won't have the other eye done til mid-March cuz she has to go on another bus trip in 10 days. :rofl:
I gots crazy waiting room stories but they'ze gonna hafta wait.
J's up. Cats are growling (Swami & Snoop :roll: :sigh: ) & the dishwasher & vacuum await.
It's :spring: :bliss: Gotta get indoor ffutses done so I can go out & play!!! :bliss:

Surrre she's first :hmm:
:flyball:
"And this: albeit the best that Walmart has to offer :woe: Only one of my new pieces came from Walmarts. :pie: "
:chuckle: What? ... I neber said Walmart ffuts was :carp: :nono: :secret: just implied :whistle: Also it's doog to :egg: periment and try different thangs ... I does this ALL the time :yes: It's why I noes so muches about graters, mandolins, knives, steel, yada yada ... the thangs you should has for what and how you cook are rarely the thangs you thinxz you need :om:
For instance yer Nakiri ... most people look at it as an 8 inch chefs knife that has the front inch borked off .. it's not :nono: ... it's a Japanesee knife mixed with a Chinese Cai Dao {aka vegeable cleaver} design or more specifically the Japanese Chukabocho ... which is far superior. Anywho the point is it's the little thangs like angle, thickness and size variations that make it right for you AND what you does. You figure these thangs out by researching aka trying :carp: out until you unerstanz yer preferences then pick the bestest for yerself :angel:
Over the years I literally went through a hunert different :coffee: grinders from stoopid cheap to :crazy: :egg: spensive :faint: and FINALLY settled on my Niche Zero :wubsigh: Ya seez I coulda gotted a Duo BUT I like a grind between a Filter and Espresso PLUS I prefer nigh zero maintenance :thumbs:
The point is of course I'm going to mock you for buying :carp: at Walmart :thwack: t'is the way of my peoplez 8)

Sadly I cannot has a bigger regular fridge unless we does cabinet chopping. :eek: For reals....it is in a hole between a tall pantry and regular top & bottom cabinets with a countertop underneath. It's the :cat: counter. :chuckle: Becuz it's on the opposite side of the kitchen from the sink & stove...across from an island...and the cats are allowed to be on that counter only. They knows this.
There's one up there eating right now. :chuckle:
I'd really like a back porch fridge. :yes: I asked at a salvage store (they recycle & resell used as well as scratch & dent) about the feasibility of that & was told that if I can find a very old (50+ year old) fridge or freezer they are much more insulated & can withstand heat & cold from being outdoors. But newer models...nada. :sigh:
My mom had one of those vintage fridges in her basement in Ohio. :yes: It had belonged to a long gone aunt & uncle way back in the 60's & as of 2012 (when she moobed here) it still worked beautifully. :sigh: (wistful sigh for the times when things were axshully built to lat)
Chainmail scrubber. :check: I gotted one & love it!! Lodge recommended it for the carbon steel. And I threw away the stoopy stainless scrubbers. The only one of those worth buying are made by Stanley. The cheap ones just fray & shed all the time.
Walmart sucks. :righton: Did I ever mention that I quietly boycotted Walmart for many years til I moved here & found out there is literally nothing else, without driving an hour or more? But peoples here are brainwashed to beleeb that Walmart is the bestest. :crazy:
So it was the interventional cardiologist who mentioned Esselstyn. And Pritikin. He was in Nashville. He was the one who woulda done the bypass. :yes: Anyway, he had known Dr Esselstyn, casually, when he interned at Cleveland Clinic. He knew that he had good results but he knew absolutely nothing else. :woe: Seems they all are too afraid to learn about anything that goes against their years (& expense) of edumacation. :sigh: So they :lalala:
:b:'s doctor is teachable. :chuckle: I think. He is also quite easy to talk to & actually listens. He also admits that he has nothing to offer except symptom relief & he is encouraging in a "hope you have success but I'll believe it when I see it" kinda way. :rofl:
As for the arrhythmia he said, "Call me if it becomes more frequent". And it has not. :nonono: :knockwood:
As for calling B in... :nonono: He's overworked, overbooked. All the specialists around here are.
I don't think he needs a new cardiologist cuz I don't think he really needs a cardiologist at all any more. :yes:
But time will tell. :wiggle:
And speaking of overbooked et al... Mom's travelling cataract team was a sight :rimshot: to behold. They have a truck. With their name on it. And twice a month they come to the hopsickle she was at for cataract surgeries. A :carp: ton of peoples...herded in like cattle. Then Mom says they were all in a room, together, much like the chemo room Dad usta go to. They started IV, gave valium, and shuffled them off one at a time to get surged upon. :crazyeyes: She was given "something" (she's not doog at that ffuts) in her IV to further zombify her & the 'surgery' took maybe 5 minutes. Then back to her chair where she was monitored for a bit, then excused. They did use surgical nurses from the hopsickle (cuz I knew one of them) but brought their own support staff & obliviously equipment hence the truck. :huh:
And that...is what it's like in a rural area. :hayseed:
Same with B's cardiologist tho it's just him and his nurse that travel to Paris once a week. If you need him any day other than Thursday you hafta drive to Nashville or roll the dice with an ER.
Just more incentive to stay well.
:magic:

Once established they need to follow the dictates of the hopsickle they werk at which is 90% of the time owned by an HMO who tellz them ... treat symptoms and EBERYTHANG is progressive :om:

Firstly :p I neber said you said I needed a bigger fridge. I just wants a bigger one. :chuckle: Or maybe next time a different one.
I has a side freezer..water & ice on the door. Mom has a french door with freezer on the bottom & it just seems I can fit so much more inside of hers than in mine. The fridge part is too narrow. But I makes do. Tho things do tend to get buried & hidden quite easily. :sigh:
And no, I did not mess up any memos. :buttkick: The guys who tear apart the freezers & fridges for recycling are the ones who tolded me that an OLD one would be fine for a back porch. He said they were made before AC & central heat was commonplace & were designed to withstand extreme temperatures.
And before you :blah: blah: about no AC or heat I shall say that neither of my parents had AC or heat growing up tho they DID have refrigerators & freezers. Mom tells the story of how her parents bought both a fridge and freezer BEFORE the electricity was even up & running. They knew it was coming & the first thing everyone bought was fridges & freezers.
My maternal grandprents didn't have AC or central heat til 1970 when they built a new house. They had window fans & a woodstove. ONE woodstove & electric blankets as soon as they were invented.
My paternal grandparents never had more than window units & a woodstove. And :boyhowdy: it was cold in the bedrooms at night. :shiver: Miserably hot in the summer.
Anyway... I digress.
But in that same digression I still remember having to use the outhouse at my paternal grandparents' house. :uhoh:
It was mid to late 60s before they gotted running water in the house & put in a bathroom. :yes:
:woe:
:b: only ever saw 2 cardiologists. :woe: It's not typically necessary to number things that don't number more than 2! :woe:
And he only saw Jimmy, the interventionalist, ONCE. One time when he laid out the whole bypass scenario to which I replied, "Isn't there anything else we can do? I'm kinda a food & nutrition junkie so isn't there any dietary changes that could help?{ (To that point nobody had ever mentioned diet at all)
And iffin I hadn't been there & axed that question :b: surely woulda been scheduled for a bypass. :no:
But I disagree with your 'docsplaining'. :yes: Cardiologist #1 :p said, when we told him about Esselstyn & the diet, ' :sigh: I really oughta learn more about nutrition & it's role in cardiovascular care for my patients' sake. We only had one nutrition class in med school, ya know? :sigh: But I try & read up on stuff like that & I just always wind up falling asleep. ' Almost verbatim. :chuckle:
And his nurse asked a lot of questions & axshully wrote down the name Caldwell Esselstyn. Whether she took it any further or not I have no clue.
And Jimmy (#2!) was not the least bit apprehensive about leading us towards alternatives.
Now 30 years ago your docsplaining was spot on. :yes: My former rheumatologist once told me "I cannot advise you to take a supplement or anything natural or herbal without being in jeopardy of losing my license". Then he said, "But I will tell you that I take a handful of pills that my wife hands me every day. She reads all kinds of natural health stuff & is always showing me things". :rofl:
Oh & Both of B's cardiologists work at a non-profit hopsickle. :yes: I doubt they have as much interest in keeping patients sick becuz in this area they are so extremely overbooked & overworked. It takes an average of 3 months to get in to see a specialist.
The only way Dad could get into Vanderbilt was through the ER & he had to spend 2 days in ER waiting for someone to die or get discharged. Mom has to have a minor procedure done on a droopy lower eyelid & the soonest it could be scheduled was JUNE.
:crazy:
Oh yeah... Cryovolcanic comet!!!! :scared: :run: :hide:
I mean... :happydance:
:spitcoffee:

I keep forgetting to ask...
My mom gave me one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=7+color+beauty+device+for+face+and+neck&crid=3LCFN0NQVPOK6&sprefix=7+color+%2Caps%2C136&ref=nb_
All it says on the box & packaging is "7 color beauty device for face & neck" and... Made in China. :chuckle: No brand name.
She said it was only $20-30 & Zen Aunt ordered them both one after seeing an infomercial. :yes:
So the order did not come in as timely a fashion as ZA wanted so she contacted the seller & they sent 2 more. Then the first 2 arrived. :rofl:
Anyway... do any of the colors besides red really do anything?
The booklet says:
Red: (630nm) Anti-aging & promotes collagen production
Blue: (415nm) Sooth (their spellage) inflammation & calm sensitive skin
Green: (525nm) Smooth wrinkles & fine lines
Purple: (390nm promote lymphatic drainage
Yellow: (590nm) Reduce melanin production
Cyan: (490nm) reduce skin tension & swollen capillaries
White: (mix) relax skin & accelerate growth & healing of skin cells
Or is the whole thing a waste of time? :chuckle:
It vibrates...mildly...which really tickles the sinuses :chuckle: & has heat.
I use it on 17 year old Stripes when she's in my lap & she really likes it. Only the red & heat. It doesn't vibrate on fur or hair.
:chuckle:

"My mom gave me one of these: ..."
:woe: K they are not completely worthless :nono: ... prolly close but potentially very useful :yes: The biggest issue is the intensity {flux} and the way they seem to be used. Take a look at Amazon Red Light Wraps <= Amazon Link ... these are one frequency direct area contact devices with overall much more power AND they are used for the same length of time.
The point is smaller weaker devices need more time in a specific area brushing it across an area really isn't long enough in my opinion :dunno: I leave my 200mW laser in the same place for atleast a minute :yes:
That said Red light 3 minutes for eyes each day is prolly fine :yes: Elswise I would recommend leaving it to send :vibes: for 15 minutes without mooving and while in direct contact in whatever location and THEN it's prolly doog :thumbs:
Personally I wouldn't buy one but iffen I was given one I would use it :yes: Basically what youse all has is a 5050RGB Light Strip <= Amazon Link ... in a hand held device :oz:
That said the "Benefits" associated with the colour wavelengths are messed up :woe:
Red ... yeah anti-inflammatory yada yada ... doog ffuts :thumbs:
Blue ... :woe: no :buttkick: in fact Blue, Cyan and Plurple shouild all be bunched together. These 'can' werk against acne BUT only very specific types AND not very well. However, these would ALL werk against staph espeeshully the Plurple. The Plurple wavelength is in the zone that iffen correct {some "purpler" LEDs are actually Red in Blue plastic} would be a Blacklight which can be :check: ed by turning out the lights and shinning it in the bathroom or near liter boxes just brace for the possible :horror:
The Yellow and Green can help with hyperpigmented skin and undialate dilated capillaries thinxz facial spyder vanes gittin smaller BUT not goesing away :bye:
My guess is they are making claims from a very :egg: spensive dermal technique that is basically laser level BLUE light burning the visible capillaries, which then fade away over time. No way this thang can does that :unthumbs:
FYI: Red or Blue lights can both be used to help find arteries and veins and red espeeshully for ffuts left in the skin like splinters OR badly removed stitches. Fer realz :yes: doktorz are always leaving tiny bits in the skin :pullhair:
FYI2: Green light 'can' lower IOP {Inter Ocular Pressure} in those patients with Open-angle Glaucoma but I would want to noes what the NRGeez level was of the :vibes: afores trying it on peoplez with predamaged eyes :sofa:

Personally I wouldn't buy one but iffen I was given one I would use it :yes: Basically what youse all has is a 5050RGB Light Strip <= Amazon Link ... in a hand held device :oz:
That said the "Benefits" associated with the colour wavelengths are messed up :woe:
Red ... yeah anti-inflammatory yada yada ... doog ffuts :thumbs:
Blue ... :woe: no :buttkick: in fact Blue, Cyan and Plurple shouild all be bunched together. These 'can' werk against acne BUT only very specific types AND not very well. However, these would ALL werk against staph espeeshully the Plurple. The Plurple wavelength is in the zone that iffen correct {some "purpler" LEDs are actually Red in Blue plastic} would be a Blacklight which can be :check: ed by turning out the lights and shinning it in the bathroom or near liter boxes just brace for the possible :horror:
The Yellow and Green can help with hyperpigmented skin and undialate dilated capillaries thinxz facial spyder vanes gittin smaller BUT not goesing away :bye:
My guess is they are making claims from a very :egg: spensive dermal technique that is basically laser level BLUE light burning the visible capillaries, which then fade away over time. No way this thang can does that :unthumbs:
FYI: Red or Blue lights can both be used to help find arteries and veins and red espeeshully for ffuts left in the skin like splinters OR badly removed stitches. Fer realz :yes: doktorz are always leaving tiny bits in the skin :pullhair:
FYI2: Green light 'can' lower IOP {Inter Ocular Pressure} in those patients with Open-angle Glaucoma but I would want to noes what the NRGeez level was of the :vibes: afores trying it on peoplez with predamaged eyes :sofa:
Anywho, useful :yes: not trash :nono: 'cept perchance the instructions :woe:
Dang you Thursazed :fist:

Yeah, I figgered it is pretty lame. :chuckle: But free & simple to play with. I likes the USB charging thingy & it seems to hold a charge a long time. :dunno: Thanks. :righton:
So the sunspots 'just happened' to unleash at the same time as the cellular outtage but no connection. :scratch:
Ok, then. :rofl:
I had some really strange head pangs yesterday. Not really pain but brief spurts of low-level pain enough to get my attention.
Usually that kinda thing is volcanic. But it can also be solar. :dunno: I does noes that volcanoes have been popping as well. :sofa:
I just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OglKfZ8TEgU It is a Q&A from last night.
Dr E says, and I quote, "The Mediterranean Diet is a joke". :woe: For heart disease patients, that is. He says if you want your disease to progress a bit more slowly then go ahead & follow but if you want it to STOP...and reverse, then follow the proven protocol.
His closing statement is a keeper, too. It's right in line with what I was talking about with doctors not knowing anything about nutrition. :yes:
And he STILL affirms that if you eat a wide variety of fruits & vegetables & whole grains you get all the nutrients you need. (Cuz people asked about things such as... :whistle: ...calcium, in particular. Also protein.
And no coffee with caffeine. :sigh: :b: has gone back to drinking one cup of coffee a day. He had none for over a year. Coffee has a lot of benefits, so they say so I didn't think one cup would be so bad but he tells of a brachial artery test after one cup of caffeinated coffee & how much it affects. He says it's not the caffeine but the caffeinated coffee. Decaf is ok. But green tea is best. :yes:
Anyway... that's the that. :pie:
It's grocery day. :elfparty: Oddly enough, Jacki has soured on our diet as of late & now begs to buy all kinds of junk foods (she likes cheese curls, cookies, & baked goods). She was such a great ally for so long & now I have to esplain over & over again that iffen I buy that ffuts & bring it into the house "your dad will eat it". Bottom line. Cuz we've learned that he has no self-control. :crazyeyes: Maybe today we'll have a long discussion on the way there & then not hafta repeat over & over again the reasons I cannot buy the things she wants. (I never mention the fact that it's not doog for her either cuz that just makes her mad. :woe: )
Happy :fullmoon: . And Kale Day! :excited: :cheer:

:pey: :sig:
Here's another Mom thang...
She bought this shampoo & conditioner for Jacki at her nail salon. They told her it was "guaranteed" to work & that they sell a ton of it with great results. It has a whole lotta ingredients! :faint:
https://www.amazon.com/LANZA-Healing-Nourish-Stimulating-Shampoo/dp/B007SHO6M6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
So we have used it now 5 times. The first thing I noticed was that the shedding stopped almost immediately (her hair is oh so thin now with the top nearly bald but the thinning is overall).
But yesterday I noticed half a dozen 'sores'... lesions, I guess...circular, about half the size of a pencil eraser. on the crown of her head. Her scalp was quite sensitive, too. (Tho she's always had an extra sensitive scalp....remember me saying how I had to brush her head on the sidewalk when she was little so neighbors could see that I wasn't abusing her?)
I'm hoping it's her scalp 'waking up'.
But concerned it may be worsening the condition or harmful in some way.

:afro:
As far as shampoos go that's basically baby shampoo with a ton of :egg: stracts AND a :bump: in eberythang NRGeezing :vibes: plus :blob: and :mushrooms: killin ... srsly :yes:
I suspect the idea is to wake the hair up from the telogen {rest} state and :buttkick: the anagen phase {growth} into high gear :run:
The "sores" are a tad worriesome :horror: You should prolly test for sensitivity aka she might be allergic to one of the gazillion ingredients :dunno: This thang is basically a shotgun approach to hair loss ... using eberythang that might help added to one bottle :wiggle: I'd recommend putting a drop of the ffuts on a band-aid and putting that on her inner arm for atleast a waking day ... 8 hours ... less iffen there's a rash and it itches ... more iffen it's a maybe :uhoh:
Also no hair washing and then going out :nonono: unless she wears a hat/cap or sumthin. Some of those ingredients increase photo sensitivities which would result in sores after light :egg: sposure espeeshully with very thin hair and the light :vibes: bouncing off her scalp :horror:
After a few hours {4 to 8} it would be fine :yes:
Um you do noes that her hair has a growth and fallout phase right? It's almost sprang now ... how sure are you that the shampoo is responsible for the no falling out?
Role of vitamin D in hair loss: A short review (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34553483/) <= PubMed Link
Now afores you sez she gits plenty of vit.D 'cuz you supplement it that's NOT vit.D it's D3 ... :sun: produces active D :flex: and it does it in the location of incidence :om: AND the scalp is warmed too promoting blood flow :oz: Anywho :afro: grows faster in the Sprang Summer because of this AND hair loss is more noticeable in the Fall Wynter too :yes:
Anywho in general it's very difficult to determine what stage :afro: is in without a microscope and an unerstanzing of the 3 types of hooman hair AND their 3 stages. Yes coinkadinkally I does noes it all :blah: :blah: but iffen this is a problem you want to solve then you kinda need to too :therethere:
:chuckle: that shampoo links afore and after is :hysterical: An indian woman swings her hair forward is the after 'cuz the hair looks identical.

:doh: I did not noes this so I asked Mr.Google ... Indian {aka from India} are considered "asian" and asian peoplez ... yes even the half asian bretheren :drama: use Camelia oil in their :afro: and guess what it reduces DHT :faint: Link (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36234980/)
Anywho, one of my :afro: products is the use of a wooden comb soaked in ... wait for it ... Camellia seed oil ... what a coinkidink :matt:
Oh and to complete the thought train ... Indian wiminz mostly use Mustard seed oil in their hair so I thunked it strange that the shampoo used Camellia seed oil :scratch: hence the :check:
FYI: the only others I noes that directly effect DHT are :pumpkin: seed oil and peppermint oil ... though the shampoo contains menthol derivatives which are prolly the stimulating peepermint bit :oz:
Lastly instead of preventing her from eating :carp: you should prolly see about offering her meaty :cow: options like jerky or sumthin. There's a reason vegetarians are vastly more prone to alopecia :whistle: AND her SUDDEN dietary insistence is possibly a need for non-WTFPB nutrients :dunno:

(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/2024-02-25-Solar.jpg) ... some haze and a few :cloud: s :fist: but otherwise purty doog :yes:
Oh and this was the :fullmoon: on Fryday with some tweakage :oz: the dropshadow on the right is a tad dark but without it some areas are too light for a white background ... also :superman: bright enough to cut through 25% haze :matt:

You truly took those photos? :faint:
:clap: :clap: :clap:
The :fullmoon: is :wubsigh: And it was a micromoon at that. :yes:
As for J ack i... yes I noes about seasonal hair growth/loss & it is possible that :spring: is the reason.
I have a TON of stubble where my hair is growing back from the covid hair loss over a year ago now.
And I noed the stubble was a doog sign of :spring: :chuckle:
And yes, I believe I've mentioned many times that I encourage her to eat fish & even a :burger: or whatever as frequently as she wants & can. I boughted a pound of shrimp recently & she ate it all in 2 days. :faint: She won't eat jerky tho. :nonono: Too tough & too salty. She has never liked salt. And she's the only person I've ever known who just does not like salty ffuts at all.
The 'sores' were more pimple-like I suppose & they got much better (less redness) by the next day & then have disappeared henceforth.
And yeah, the ingredient list looked like a everything but the kitchen sink kinda thing. :sigh:
J usually does better with simpler things... as few ingredients as possible.
I've been using rosemary oil on her scalp for a few weeks now (2-3 weeks before the shampoo appeared in our life). It is also apposta block DHT. I'm using it on mine, too and I am having a wonderful :spring: growth spurt. :happydance:
Finally...after more than a year... I am looking like myself again.. :happydance: I can get most of it to stay tied back, but another couple inches will make it oh so much better. :yes:
We had a wonderfully productive weekend. :farmninja: It was 75 or more yesterday & the same is forecast today. :bliss:
We gots hundreds of baby :tomatoe: , peepers hot & mild...at least 10 different types, :broccoli: cauliflower, & kales.
We are finally out of Persephone Winter & in the superfast growing season til Solstice when we go the other way. :crazyeyes:
How quickly the seasons :witchfly:
Going to Jackson today. :wiggle: I don't need a thing but Mom & ZA thinks they need a thing or 2 before their next bus trip next week. :woe: So I goes to chauffeur. :wiggle: Plus it's a nice way to spend a day together. :grouphug:

In other wurdz yer actively keeping her bile salts low and a key component in that "salt" is sodium AND it's kind of a noed thang that peoplez with gallbladder, liver, pancreas issues either prefer less salty ffuts or they has really bad blood pressures :oz:
FYI: you does noes that lower bile salt production also means diminished vitamin absorption for oil soluble nutrients right? 'cuz that one is kind of important :whistle:

sheeesh ...
you 2 write a lot
too much to read after a week :chuckle:
bathroom leakage is getting fixed right now
overcast :clouds: all days here
not too cold but not spring yet either :dunno:
missing the :sun: :sunhug:
:spoo: :sealed:
It's truly nice to see you. :wub:
But now I hafta repond to :windy: 2.0
:bsl:
I was referring to stubble as new growth. Like razor stubble, ya knows? :pie:
I have TONS of new growth. I oftentimes do but this is the mostest since I losted lots of hairs just over a year ago.
Jacki, notsomuch. :nonono:
And once more...the 'doctor' was NOT a doctor. :sigh: We don't have doctors much. :sigh:
Even the last dermatologist B saw was a Nurse Practitioner. Jacki has not seen a dermatologist cuz #! her insurance doesn't cover dermatology and #2 when I spoke to B's about it she said, "Sure...bring her in & we'll probably get her on rogaine or some similar." :no:
The 'doctor' she saw said, "Yeah...she has hair loss. And he offered to prescribe meds but added, "If she ever stops taking it for any reason all her hair will ALL fall out.". :huh: :no:
They truly don't know :carp:
So I've done numerous things... light therapy for months...literally. She's had supplements & supplements... the higher recommended & more spensive... and each supplement has been taken for about 6 months to give it a good try. She's eaten a tubfull of 'hair gummies'. And I have bought half a dozen different 'guaranteed to work' costly shampoos from Amazon. And yes, each of those was given at least 3 months.
This has been going on for 5-7 years, Dude! And the toughest part of it is that she does not accept the fact that her hair is thinning so therefore everything I do has to be 'on the sly'.
She doesn't really seem bothered by it at all so I let go of worrying or whatnot as well. :wiggle:
She's always hated hair. Hates having it brushed, washed, definitely never wants it 'styled'. She hates the fact that it curls. Curls really freak her out. :scared: Like strings. :uhoh: So maybe she's destined to be bald & beautiful. :yes: There are more & more prominent women who proudly wear their baldness. Like congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, MSNBC host Symone Sanders, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, & more.
I haven't mentioned it here either cuz well... it's not really a thing to us any more.
Her overall health is the thing.
I only mentioned it cuz Mom bought the shampoo. At her nail salon. So we are trying it.
The initial breakout healed quickly & I did use the shampoo again with no irritation.
It's very difficult to examine well cuz she freaks it she thinks I'm looking too closely. :crazyeyes:
Thankfully, I am enough taller than her that I can see without her really knowing I see.
And I know her non-compliance doesn't make sense but few things with a hooman with autism & moderate mental retardation ever make sense. :nonono: But I don't force against her will unless it's a life-threatening issue. And then we gotta do what we gotta do.
Zen Aunt has super thin & fine hair & she too has tried numerous things, including accupuncture. She even bought a red light cap years ago & she keeps talking about a wig now.
Travelling Aunt's hair was so thin she wore a wig the last 5+ years of her life. I have a female cousin on Dad's side that has had see-through hair for 20+ years. And B's younger seester has super thin (I know the term is teck :nickel: ly dense or less dense but that's not how it is used colloquially. Thin & thick are apposta refer to individual strands) ) as well as his aunts on his dad's side.
So female baldness definitely runs in both families & J ack i seemed to have gotten all the :carp: y gens from the pool. :sigh:
In many aspects.
I have a sunblock that is an 80, I believe. It's a spray & I mist it on the top of her head whenever we are going to be outside for any length of time. :wiggle: She's not a hat fan either. :rofl:
We gots 70s :bliss: But :rain: coming in tonight as well as :blowme:
It's full on :spring:

So maybe this Black Friday video is more like you.... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CDg7m3vuzng
:spitcoffee:
I just read about hair transplants 'near' me. The first 2 I saw said they only do male transplants cuz women tend to lose hair all over their head & have no good areas from which to transplant. That would be Jacki tho it's futile cuz there's no way in hail she'd agree. :chuckle: I'm pretty sure Zen Aunt had some transplanting done 20+ years ago with minimal success. I'll hafta ask her. :scratch:
We gotted the :rain: and :blowme: about an hour ago.
Now the cold front :shiver: High in the 50s today, tomorrow & Friday. :uhoh: :snowball:
Then back to the 70s for the weekend. :bliss2:

I got nothing. :rofl:
I read all the Cleveland Clinic link & yes, I've read that exact link before. Like 5 years ago before. :woe:
As for the other link...well I began reading & then thunk... there is no way Jacki would comply even IF she was a candidate, which she is not cuz she has nowhere to transplant from (same with ZA & same with most females which is why the generalization of the Nashville hair transplant places) so anyway I stopped reading cuz it's not relevant anyway. :wiggle:
Leap Day! :jump: :jump: I'm just ready to fully leap into :spring: :yes:
We had a light frost last night. :sigh: But I had already brought in the handful of pots of ffutses on the veranda. They prolly woulda been ok but we decided not to chance it since it was easy to bring them in for an overnighter. Carrots, radishes, kale, spinach (and yes, thank you for your soaking tip!) & lettuce.
By the next frost, and there will be at least one more, they shall be big enough to withstand a widdle chill. :flex:
Oh & Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano is waking up! :eek: :boom: :gheart:

:fries: day is here :excited:
:rain: and :cloud: s :sigh:
On the plus side next Wednesday might be nice ... :gaah:
After kale night I'm supposed to untangle the ginormous knot of plants that is the growed tent ... Apparently 1 Dad misjudged his weather opportunities and his next batch :tomatoe: s are going to be :tomato: ing afores gitting planted outside :woe: The plan is to overcrowd the front door area 'cuz there's already LED plant lighting there AND I'm setting up another watering system on account of the starter pots are too small and out of the grow chambers oppressive humidity they is gonna need watering ebery couple of hours :roll:
Anywho, in theory this is a temporary fix and as the weather Sprangs he'll moove them outside and into biggie sized pots.

So I completely agree with your bus ride analogy & I noes this from learning the hard way. :yes:
But this: healthcare is quite literally what you makes of it :om: Fer realz iffen you has a a medical problem and consult a surgeon they'll give you a surgical solution ... iffen you seez an Herbalist they'll gives you a herbally solution. Iffen you seez a medical doktor then unerstanz they represent the pharmaceutical industry ... yer gonna git a or equivalent :oz:
is not quite right. :no: :bsl:
Fer realz... the majority of peoples in this country anyway have no or limited access to herbalists or naturopaths or the likes.
Thanks to the interwebz more & more people are understanding that there may be another way.
But we are/were conditioned to believe that you should do whatever the doctor sez. :gaah:
I questioned on my own & went to the library to find information to back up my 'hunches' and knowings. :sparkle:
That was B.I. Before Internet.
Omg I remember oh so clearly when J ack i was 1 the pediatrician said to switch her to milk. She'd been on Nutramigen her whole life which was at the time the most hypoallergenic formula there was. I read the ingredients now & I :bawling: cuz the me who knows what I know would never have fed that to her.
Anyway... I digress ( :windy: :wub: )... I asked :why: Why to SUDDENLY switch from extreme hypoallergenic to plain ol milk? Won't this wreak havok on her system?
She was a very colicky baby... amembers she had 12" of large intestine removed & the ileostomy which was reversed at 6 months...
and was always prone to diarrhea & malabsorption. Tho she was also overweight. :crazyeyes: I 'knew' the fat on her body came from all those test tubes of lipids that went into her. :sigh:
So a bit off the subject but this is why Inoes what I noes. :yes:
Back then literally no parents except me used the hospital libraries or questioned what the god... I mean doctor...said.
And that is how most peoples are. They truly have no clue that there may be another option.
Like the Native Americans who could not see the ships becuz they had never seen a ship before. :yes:
And most peoples do not understanz that medical doctors represent the pharmaceutical industry. :nonono: They just want a pill to make them feel better so they don't hafta make any changes to their lifestyle.
Tho there are some... I've known a handful...of medical doctors who do not subscribe to the script :rimshot: as writ.
But yeah, the videos are :thumbs: Thankfully, we now have a media in which peoples CAN learn to see thos ships if they so choose. :clap:
:therethere: Solly bout the :tomato: :spitcoffee:
I just told :b: that I want this to be "The Year of the Tomato" & I want to freeze, can, juice as much as possible. :happydance:
When I was a girl there was a several year span in which we would can &/or freeze 50 qts of chopped :tomatoe: 50 qts :tomato: juice 50 qts green beans and mucho miscellaneous pickles, pickled ffutses, squashes et al.
:broccoli:

:therethere: I truly understanz the 'gardening' when you are not innerested in gardening thingy... :rofl:
My seester boughted my mom not one, but 2 raised bed thingies...one on legs, and metal one on the ground.
And thing is...Mom doesn't care one iota about gardening. :nonono: She usta liked to watch Dad's gardens. :chuckle:
So I gets to plant them... and tend them...and then her :tomatoe: hang there & rot along with any peepers et al. She just doesn't care. Plus, her excuse is they look pretty just hanging there. :rofl:
Mom & ZA are off on another bus trip today. :uhoh: Final destination St Augustine Floriduh tho much of their time is spent in Jacksonville. She was axshully dreading it a bit cuz the itinerary is not what she would have chosen. :sigh: But they booked based on the tour guide, Debbie, without knowsing the itinerary. :woe: It will be a purtiful trip tho for sure. :flower:
The Bradford pears, tulip trees & Hawthornes are abloom here and the further south they goes the more beautiful blooming :treehug: they will see. Plus more :spring: flowers. :wubsigh:
Anyway, yes :sigster: , you are speshul...and privileged. :righton: No mock, just facts. So your experiences & even your way of viewing the world is different from prolly 80% of the population. :yes: I have a different-from-most perspective from several things including many discussions with my best high school friend's dad who was an orthopedic surgeon & hopsickle Chief of Staff. He was a doog man. Never met with pharmaceutical reps & did his own research... he refused to turn people over to collection agencies cuz "if they don't have the money they don't have the money"...and said he'd rather take a chicken as payment for setting a bone than have the insurance companies as middle men. (Not literally, but he probably really would have).
And then there was Jacki's first 8 years when I spent mega time inside of hopsickles & dealing with speshulists. The residents always hung out in our room...and the staff (including doctors) prolly told us (me, mostly) more about what was really going on than they should have. But we were 'family'...and they knew me. :chuckle: And oftentimes I was mistaken for a doctor cuz I could speak the language. It's not the same any more altho doctors still seem to vent to me. :chuckle: B's now-retired dermatologist went off to me about the 'system' and how he had to jump through too many hoops to do simple procedures or prescribe certain meds. He was young but retired so he didn't hafta deal with it any more. :sigh:
Anyway... it's agonna be 75 today. :bliss2: And we're gonna go clean up Mom's yard. :yes: Whilst she's gone. :chuckle:
Did I tell you she just about cut her pointer finger off with hedge trimmers? :gaah: About 10 days ago. She's never used hedge trimmers in her life but SUDDENLY felt qualified. :gaah: She said she didn't know how it happened but I think I does. :yes:
It's the pointer finger on her left hand. I think they are too heavy for her & as she went to cut the pampass grass of all things :gaah: she found that she couldn't hold them in one hand & went to 'catch' them with the left & ... :horror:
She's healing nicely tho AND I highly doubt she will ever try that again. :rofl:

OUCH! :horror:
Yeah the pointy fingers are always the first to goes ... well after :thumbs: depending on the device :whistle:
Way back afores we getted a gardener :wubsigh: I was the one who had to "trim" the backyard hedge only tweren't bushes they was just leafy trees and needed cutting at about the 10 feetz level which meant employing my arch nemesis The Ladder :sofa: Anywho one year I gotted tired of the weak :butt: hedge trimmer my parents made me use so I boughted sumthin called the Beaver sumthin or other :scratch: it can cut through 1 inch branches :muaha: which sounded purty useful :matt:
Anywho long :book: short no missing siguie bits BUT the thang was dang heavy and when my arch nemesis tried to killz me as they is wont to does ... as I was falling I gripped the trimmer thang fiercely so it wouldn't falls on me and apparently kept the thang running :ooops: End result minor booboo and a delightful arc 🌈 cut in the otherwise horizontally level hedge :whistle:
Ok twasn't all that horizontal ... the thang was freaken heavy so there was a lovely Ponte Vecchio look up until what was later referred to as the death plunge :sigh:
So why doesn't durtmomma gives you the planter thangs? :scratch: That seems like a dooger option :yes: Also she should does what I does when someone gives me a living plant :yes: desecrate <= not Mrs.Spelt :nono: ... it in silica gel then embalm it in epoxy resin :angel:
:basementcat:
"... Final destination St Augustine Floriduh tho much of their time is spent in Jacksonville. ..."
:woe: Why would anyone wanna goes there on porpoise :horror: I refused to goes even when I was invited on sprang break :nonono:
So what does interest durtmomma? :scratch: I thunked she was a peoplez person why not does peopley thangs? :dunno: OR does slooowly travelling in a giant hamster ball for days count as getting to noes people? :hmm2:
"The Bradford pears, tulip trees & Hawthornes are abloom here and the further south they goes the more beautiful blooming :treehug: they will see. Plus more :spring: flowers. :wubsigh: "
Dad's daffysillz are also blooming :sunflower: I thinxz I even gotted pictures or a short video :scratch: they is in a part of the garden he doesn't want to goes to until the cacti git trimmed :whistle: He's had some bad :egg: speriences with them thangs 'cuz until the temps git into the 80s he wears baggy sweatshirts on top of sweaters and the cacti act like velcro and wont let him go :hysterical:
Real story :yes: :roar: :hysterical:
"... So your experiences & even your way of viewing the world is different from prolly 80% of the population. :yes: ..."
Yes yes :whatever: I'm unique just like eberyone else and youse is unique um well like you :therethere: Thang is views can change and iffen enough does you can cha cha change the :earth: :hippy: However, in the meantime I thinxz it should be enough that ALL of the needed info is readily available on the interweb :yes:
Iffen you google "how common are misdiagnosis " you will find roughly 11% with some thangs rarely misdiagnosed and others are fiddy fiddy but overall there's about a 1 in 10 chance yer doktor got it wrong :horror: Then add in that prescription drugs are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US after cancer and :heart: disease. Now add in the chronic and/or debilitating side effects of prescribed medication and the accidental misapplication of those drugs not resulting in death. The numbers are so HIGH :faint: I really don't unerstanz why anybody simply accpets anything a doktor sez :dunno:
Thang is I thinxz ... with the :egg: ception of pricing $$$ :faint: ... healthcare is fine :thumbs: It's up to the patient {or patient advocate} to become informed, unerstanz the risk of treatments and prescriptions as well as what the options are :yes: Like when you take your car to a mechanic they tellz you what they believe is wrong and what they can do BUT you decide what is worth it and what you want don, including going somewherez else for other opinions and possibly options :angel:
Anywho, the only reason I seez my doktor is 'cuz at 18 months I git a message that the company requires I does for insurance porpoises :sigh: AND the only reason I likes my doktor is 'cuz I can bully him into running the tests I'm currently inerested in 8) Though sadly they aren't equipped to run some of the less common nutrition tests :drama:
Also from ligolab.com ...
... I just thunked to mention this 'cuz one of my tests was HORRIBLY wrong :horror: It was my iron levelz including hemoglobin, ferritin and sumthin else irony :rimshot: ... anywho it sed I was horribly anemic and I gotted all sorts of urgent calls and messages :frantic: ... :yawn: They clearly mixed up my sample 'cuz it wasn't just one test that was off ... iffen the numbers were correct I'd be barely conscious. Anywho I did a walk in blood draw :suck: and they ran it agin immediately and yup :siguie: right agin :irule:
The annoying thang is they erased it from my viewable history :fist: ... the skeery thang is "someone" likely has :superman: iron levelz that shouldn't oughta and I has no idea iffen they eber figured out what happened :dunno: I was just informed that an error was made and that it had :bean: corrected :cheer: Atleast on my end ... :horror:
SO ... :whatever: ... I also :check: and recommend eberyone :check: their test data :angel:

Iffen you google "how common are misdiagnosis " you will find roughly 11% with some thangs rarely misdiagnosed and others are fiddy fiddy but overall there's about a 1 in 10 chance yer doktor got it wrong :horror: Then add in that prescription drugs are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US after cancer and :heart: disease. Now add in the chronic and/or debilitating side effects of prescribed medication and the accidental misapplication of those drugs not resulting in death. The numbers are so HIGH :faint: I really don't unerstanz why anybody simply accpets anything a doktor sez :dunno:
Thang is I thinxz ... with the :egg: ception of pricing $$$ :faint: ... healthcare is fine :thumbs: It's up to the patient {or patient advocate} to become informed, unerstanz the risk of treatments and prescriptions as well as what the options are :yes: Like when you take your car to a mechanic they tellz you what they believe is wrong and what they can do BUT you decide what is worth it and what you want don, including going somewherez else for other opinions and possibly options :angel:
Anywho, the only reason I seez my doktor is 'cuz at 18 months I git a message that the company requires I does for insurance porpoises :sigh: AND the only reason I likes my doktor is 'cuz I can bully him into running the tests I'm currently inerested in 8) Though sadly they aren't equipped to run some of the less common nutrition tests :drama:
Also from ligolab.com ...

We can dive ever deeper into the numbers with a report published by the National Institutes of Health. The report, titled the Measurement of Errors in Clinical Laboratories, concluded that 80 to 90% of all diagnoses are made based on laboratory test results and diagnostic (laboratory) errors are reported at a frequency of 0.012 to 0.6% for all diagnostic tests.
Now measure that error rate against the estimated 7 billion clinical lab tests performed in the US each year and it's clear that thousands of preventable deaths are occurring annually due to diagnostic error.

Anywho I did a walk in blood draw :suck: and they ran it agin immediately and yup :siguie: right agin :irule:
The annoying thang is they erased it from my viewable history :fist: ... the skeery thang is "someone" likely has :superman: iron levelz that shouldn't oughta and I has no idea iffen they eber figured out what happened :dunno: I was just informed that an error was made and that it had :bean: corrected :cheer: Atleast on my end ... :horror:

Yes, yes & yes to the frenetic dreams. :crazyeyes:
You noes I've always been a dreamer... :hippy: :peace: :rofl: (Eagles lyric :p.... :bear: woulda knowed.)
My cats keep winding up in my dreams & I think it's becuz I joke that they're trying to killz me. :woe:
Sweets (17) & Shaggy (16) just can't wait for me to get into bed & then they saunter up, one on each shoulder, & pin me down & make me sweat. :rofl: At least until I can no longer take it & I just have to move.
And this: :woe: Why would anyone wanna goes there on porpoise :horror: I refused to goes even when I was invited on sprang break :nonono:
So what does interest durtmomma? :scratch: I thunked she was a peoplez person why not does peopley thangs? :dunno: OR does slooowly travelling in a giant hamster ball for days count as getting to noes people? :hmm2:
They'ze going there becuz it's the oldest city in the US & for the history. They gets these 'step-on guides' who fill them with local history that they forgets shortly afterwards. :rofl: And yes, it's a lot about the peoplez. Many of the same peoplez do the trips with Debbie (their leader). Amembers J, Chloe & I did a one-day trip with them just to see what it's all about. :yes: No more for me. :wtf: But the whole experience reminded me of being back in high school & band trips. :chuckle: They plays games, they tellz corny jokes, one man even takes the microphone & they does dingalongs (typo stays :hysterical: ) of old gospel songs. :uhoh:
Oh & they're also going becuz Debbie does
I was happy to see them hasing nuf & :boyhowdy: the bus is achatter any time there's not an active bingo game or step-on guide or dingalong... :rofl: Not my cuppa, but they seem to enjoy it. :yes:
The Ladder :book:
:spitcoffee:
And poor Dad & the cacti! :scared: :rofl:
And Mom won't give us the planter things cuz mu seester boughted them so she must at least put up the appearance of gardening. :woe: Tis the way of our people. :wiggle:
Oh & a few days ago you mentioned the eclipsis & here...
Yes, I am planning to goes somewhere. I figure Mom & ZA & B hasta decide if it's worth a day off from work for him.
We will goes NW. Up just a bit beyond Pandorakinland! I'll hafta look at the map again but the plan as of now is to does what we did last eclipse. We packed a picnic & went straight to the center...found a quaint little park on the water with less than 100 peoples at it & a pay parking lot that was honor system. :chuckle: For realz, you were to put $5 in a wooden box.
The center line NW of Paducah in Illionois is very very rural so it will be easy to find a spot to watch.
Last time for the totality there were many many peoples just pulled off the side of the road...or standing outside their cars at gas stations with eclipse glasses on. :chuckle:
But, weather permitting, I am going closer to totality with or without anyone else. :chuckle: Tho there will be a good deal of darkening right here as well. :yes:
Last eclipse everyone (Mom, ZA, B & J) said they wanted to do it again in 2024 & amazingly...it's here. :faint:

So I watched the :cow: doc & I'm wondering...
After a few months on strict Esselstyn was when B's total cholesterol was 100 & his LDL was 40. I don't recall the other numbers.
But the next time it was checked his LDL was 69 & the total was more in the 150 range (don't recall exactly). And that's becuz we weren't as strict tho his doc was still :happydance:
Anyway... cardiologists are programmed to want the LDL below 70. And of course they thinks that statins will does that which magically makes the patient 'well'. :sigh:
But what I'm wondering is... maybe those super low early numbers WERE axshully indicative of arterial clearing? Not fully of course, but indicative of progress?
And, maybe...the super low cholesterol IS necessary when one is actively trying to reverse CAD, but not really a factor during regular body maintenance? What I think I'm trying to say is that maybe there's a time & place for super low numbers?
Oh wait!!! I just amembered that the super low numbers were when he was also on the statin! :woe:
That was also when he just looked very bad. When I was so concerned about him 'wasting away'. Truly he looked like a cancer patient. :sigh:
All that being said we has no interest in changing the paradigm so already I tolded :b: that a couple days before his next blood test we will go super strict & clean to affect the numbers. :roll: :chuckle: Ridiculous, I knows, but easier to show the doc that he don't need no steenkin statin cuz we're not gonna change his viewpoint in one 5 minute visit. :nonono:
CAC score :check: I honestly don't think his doc monitors that. But we can ask him to add it. :yes:
So Shaggy does like to stretch out his front legs & grab me with his claws. :uhoh: I wake up with bloody cheeks...gots a healing spot on my left cheek right now. And sometimes I hafta sleep with my arms up over my face for protection! A few nights ago he gored my eyelid! :scared: I woke briefly (cuz it stung!) & thought, "Wow...that was a close one.". :chuckle: Half my left eyelid has bruise-colored eyeshadow which looks much like a port wine stain. :woe:
:pey: Cats are dangerous! :sofa: :bsl:
So the seesters are having fun! :yes: They have a good group, she says. TWO singers leading singalongs :rofl: & Sweet Caroline is the bus favorite. :no:
But most importantly Mom sounds great & says she feels great. She (with my encouragement) got a prednilosone pack for some strange come & go hives she's had even tho she was not hivey. She axshully gotted a refill on it as well. Anyway...they re 4mg & it's the taper off pack but I tolded her to try just 3 pills per day. 2 in the morning & one at lunch. Mom is super sensitive to meds just like Buddy, her father, was. So she started on Saturday, the day before she left, & has continued with the low dose & she says she's practically pain-free & full of energy. She thinks prednisone is a magic pill tho she knows it's not a doog long-term solution.
So she's on 'uppers'. :bsl: And feeling fine... :bliss:
Zen Aunt is not too crazy bout our approach as she thinks all med should be taken as prescribed. :nonono:
But the first time Mom did that she could not sleep at all the second day as the initial dose was way too high for her.
Don't worry...I noes all about prednisone, amember? Not all about it as a kemist or farmacyst would but all about it as a person who was on 40mg a day for months knows. :yes: She doesn't has enough pills to become 'dependent' & shut down her adrenal gland. :nonono:
It's so :spring: here! :happydance:
The veranda is overflowing with greens that are growing rapidly & the :tomato: seedlings are skeery fast growing as well.
:bliss:

:sig: I gots a kemystery question.
Yesterday when I got my nail polish remover from under the bathroom sink (it's 100% acetone) it was HISSING! :scared:
Like a carbonated beverage. :chuckle: It was soft (B would not have heard it) but it was definitive cuz it made me :huh:
So I slooooowly unscrewed the cap but there was no :boom: :bsl:
In the 50+ years I've used nail polish remover I've never heard that. :faint:
What's the what? Did it get too hot? And is there ever any danger?

Heya :wave:
:grouphug:
SO ... :whatever: ... what's up with that guy who gotted 217 covid (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) :faint: Kinda freaky :huh: kinda cool :hi5: and ZeRO side effects :chuckle: Oh and he did has :superman: like immune against covid BUT only slightly more than similar peoplez after their 3rd dose :hysterical:
FYI: There was a recent study of millions who had covid (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) ... the "serious" side effects vary by vaccine flavour but the nasty ones are in the 3 or 4 per million range and even those are likely just due to the added stressors :yes: That said there is a HUGE amount of controversy on how thangs were handled :woe:
" :sig: I gots a kemystery question."
That's pHysixz NOT Kemystery :drama: but yeah I has that degree too :drama:
Hissing nail polish remover :roll: well iffen it was under pressure prolly just shake or warmed from when the seal was last closed. Iffen it was a vacuum :suck: ing in air then that's typically because some plastics act as gaseous filters allowing gas/vapour to diffuse through the plastic :yes: It's why some thin plastic water bottles over time seem to auto-crush :oz:
"So I watched the :cow: doc & I'm wondering...
...
Anyway... cardiologists are programmed to want the LDL below 70. And of course they thinks that statins will does that which magically makes the patient 'well'. :sigh: "
Wow :woe: K stop focusing on the numberz :buttkick: that's the same mistake doktorz are making just yer picking the opposite ones :wall:
Tech :nickel: ly they had no way of telling what caused the calcified blockages nor iffen the conditions that caused them were still in play so YES uber quick lowering was the correct call :thwack:
Blockages take years, usually decades to form and B was SUDDENLY reporting nigh daily angina and failed a stress test in moments. Atherosclerosis is NOT a single thang that happens it's a combination of many thangs together producing a cocktail of DOOOM. Quickly removing one oblivious factor is the sensible thang to does.
Note that Shawn Baker never says cholesterol is NOT a factor ... it's just not the only factor and in Healthy persons quite possibly not a factor at all :nono: Solly but B didn't qualify :therethere:
"But what I'm wondering is... maybe those super low early numbers WERE axshully indicative of arterial clearing? Not fully of course, but indicative of progress?"
:woe: First no ... second NO :gaah: :wall: It's more akin to turning off the washing machine after you flooded yer laundry room ... yer just trying to prevent further damages :oz:
"And, maybe...the super low cholesterol IS necessary when one is actively trying to reverse CAD, but not really a factor during regular body maintenance? What I think I'm trying to say is that maybe there's a time & place for super low numbers?"
There may be a place for super low numbers :yes: BUT those numbers have nuthin to does with the actual "clearing" of arteries since it's the liver that actually reabsorbs the cholesterol also B's problem isn't cholesterol lining his arteries type of CAD it's calcification blocking the arteries. The reversal of this type issue starts with reducing inflammation followed by autophagy ... neither of which have a direct cholesterol connection that I'm aware of :dunno:

Um yeah so you do noes that lifestyle changes take 3 to 6 months to really impact cholesterol right? The 200pt :wheee: that Shawn Baker showed was the results of a carnivore/keto flip flop during an :egg: streme athletic event. His body mostly runs on oil like cholesterol/triglycerides ... yer bodies run on carbs ... amemberz starchivores :woe: B's cholesterol levelz are dictated by his liver which stores energy around it in glycogen form.
"CAC score :check: I honestly don't think his doc monitors that. But we can ask him to add it. :yes: "
:woe: No it's not something you git from a blood test it's a type of CT scan that shows calcifications in yer vascular system. Amemberz me goesing on about gittin data and this or that being available and at the very least a coronary calcium scan should be done ... well this is that very least number :whistle:
Anywho, not wanting to change the paradigm is fine :yes: The only point I mostly try to makes is iffen/when B is cured reversed arterially :scratch: ... git off the WTFPB diet 'cuz it's a life saving diet :yes: NOT a live long and prosper diet :logic:

She was a good mother, daughter & wife but sadly she was kilt by her need for nail polish remover! :spitcoffee:
I'm going with the :suck: thingy... Cuz I hadn't used it in months. The hissing was truly ykaerf tho. :uhoh: :rofl:
So did the yzarc vax dude do it becuz he was :scared: or was he trying to prove the safety or what?
Just curious. :hysterical:
K, I am not hung up on cholesterol numbers it's just that's the only measuring stick I gots other than symptoms which is what his doctor said is the primary barometer of the condition :crazyeyes: I disagree with that cuz he had no noticeable symptoms for years & his condition was silently worsening.
But yes, the :cow: guy is helping to change the paradigm. Obliviously I am not cuz Mom still thinks she needs her statin & maybe she does...tis not my call. :wiggle:
As for B's ##... it doesn't really matter. We both know that he eats 'better' than 99% of :heart: patients & that's WITH the occasional avocado or Impossible burger (maybe once a month) or 2 oz package of tuna or baked :tater: chip.
And yes, the diet leaves me hungry most all of the time. :sigh: Oddly tho, he's so adjusted that he's rarely hungry any more & he doesn't crave 'bad' things either. :oz: I tolded you his body changes quite quickly. I always lag behind. :wiggle:

:smokes: is also one of the food groups for models. :chuckle:
I usta live on :smokes: & :coffee: when I was in my 20s. I'm sure that was really helpful for the chronic inflammation I had at that time. :roll: The worse I felt, the more I smoked and the more I smoked the worse I felt. :crazyeyes:
Methinks :sigster: has a :button: regarding vegetarianism & especially veganism. :yes:
For as many peoples who do poorly on said diets there are many more peoples who claim to have eaten that way for 30. 50. even 80 years without any major dis-eases.
I believe that eeerbody is different. :check: And that psy-ence does not have all the answers. :check: Not even :siguie: has ALL the answers. :nonono:
You goes on & on about the importance of :cow: yet other than one :burger: I ate (cuz someone was going on & on about nutrients & suches :whistle: and I was feeling 'down') I have not had one single bite of :cow: in 12 years. And just one accidental bacon bitted salad that also caused hives in the same time period. Elsewise, no pork.
You noes this. I repeats myself. :crazyeyes: But the eeerbody different part is where I struggle cuz I really really feel that :b: needs a modicum of meatz. So the Esselstyn-for-life does not feel right for him regardless of any data. :nonono:
But for years, I cooked chicken for him (& sometimes Jacki, always her choice) and none for me.
Iffin ya wanna go way out :woo: I believe that the higher one vibrates the less likely they are to want or need meatz.
In a way that's proven by monks who live on air, or fruit, or simply rice & vegetables which is what I could eat every single day without complaint. :yes: Tho lots & lots of greens of all kinds is awesomely delicious as well. :drool:
One of my favorite breakfasts is chickpeas on a bed of greens with onion & sometimes tofu sourcream & sriracha. :drool: That's why I keep a couple cans of chickpeas. For instant breakfast. :chuckle: Elsewise ALL my beans start dried. :roll:
This morning I had split :peas: soup. :chuckle: It was really doog. Made with vegan 'chicken' broth. :nana:
We gots :rain: today. :eek: But...it's GREENING!!! EVERYWHERE! :bliss: It has already been yellowing (daffydils, forsythia), whiting (flowering trees) and pink/purpling (other trees....our peach trees are magnificent). But now the green is doubling down. :happydance: No leaves on trees yet tho the abelia is leafing. :happydance: And the white trees will leaf out real soon.
True :spring:

You forgot no nuts...or avocado...or coconut ffuts. :sigh: :gaah:
For realz, I feel like Dr E's diet woulda made :b: quite sickly in other ways had we stayed super strict.
He didn't has any more fat to lose & could not possibly eat enough to keep weight on.
Even with adding a handful of healthy fats he's stabilized at 182. Long & lean to the extreme. :chuckle:
You noes he's not the typical :heart: patient & not at all like the ones referred to in the book & initial study. :nonono:
That's also why it took so long for him to get taken seriously & cathed :chuckle: . He appeared 'too healthy'. :crazyeyes:
I love your idea of nut. :happydance: And I love your innate curiosity. :yes:
And yes, Dear, shiny cars get better gas mileage. :rofl: :pie:
K, so the :egg: are keeping us alive. :thanks: :bsl:
And yes I'm oversimplifying on porpoise just becuz I can...
:spitcoffee:
Yesterday tho he tilled & raked & carried logs & more cuz we gotted the tarmac laid (weed fabric under the shipping crates that are gonna be raised beds. :yes: ) & got 4 crates placed. He's lining up 2 more to bring home so we will has 6. :happydance:
In my head they are already planted.
:bsl:
So am I correct in thinking that a WFPB diet (regular-style which is no oil but does include nuts, avo, olives & coconut) will indeed reverse or cure many diseases in the short term BUT lead to other health issues in the long term? So as you've said before maybe 6 monthsish stints (not stents :rimshot: ) might be the best bet?
Just curious, Not planning any changes here at this time but just trying to wrap my head around how 'everybody else' as well as you can all be right. :yes:
:broccoli: is still way betterer than :cow:
:bliss2:
It's :spring:
The New :moon: or somethin wiped me out on Saturday. I was in a fog all day...truly felt like I was living an alternate reality & had little left for access in this current one. :chuckle:
Sunday we busted a move. :bliss2:

"You forgot no nuts...or avocado...or coconut ffuts. :sigh: :gaah: "
No I dinnit :nono: they ALL count as OIL :buttkick:
Ya ebber notice there's an "oil" associated with ebery seed, nut, oily fruit ... like sez almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil ... them thangs are just oils in there original shipping containers :oz:
"For realz, I feel like Dr E's diet woulda made :b: quite sickly in other ways had we stayed super strict.
He didn't has any more fat to lose & could not possibly eat enough to keep weight on."
Perhaps but this is kinda like taking only a half a prescription of antibiotics ... maybe it werked :dunno: or maybe your making thangs worser for later on :dunno:
"Even with adding a handful of healthy fats he's stabilized at 182. Long & lean to the extreme. :chuckle: "
:woe: yer black boxing the concept of fats into two categories healthy and not healthy without unerstanzing what they even is :pullhair: There's a reason ALL fats have 9 calories per gram as well as soap made from :cow: tallow uses the same process and quantities as say olive oil soap. ALL doof oils are fundamentally the same :therethere:
Srsly the only real differences are the triglyceride ratios aka the main components and the level of saturation or unsaturation. For instance look at olive oil ~80% oleic acid and up to 20% palmitic acid vs :cow: tallow ~50% oleic acid and 25% palmitic acid ... sure :cow: tallow has a doogly amount of stearic acid too but that's what a lot of moisturizers use and is added in all sorts of other doof too :yes:
There are reasons why one oil is better than another for specific thangs but the healthy not healthy :carp: is mostly marketing and poorly unerstood science. As mentioned numerous times afores ... the thang that makes olive oil "healthy" is NOT the oil :nono: it's the bits referred to as "nonsaponifiables" fer realz :yes: It's also why I made my olive leaf :egg: tract webpage in siguie tested :yes:
"K, so the :egg: are keeping us alive. :thanks: :bsl:
And yes I'm oversimplifying on porpoise just becuz I can..."

No I dinnit :nono: they ALL count as OIL :buttkick:
Ya ebber notice there's an "oil" associated with ebery seed, nut, oily fruit ... like sez almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil ... them thangs are just oils in there original shipping containers :oz:
"For realz, I feel like Dr E's diet woulda made :b: quite sickly in other ways had we stayed super strict.
He didn't has any more fat to lose & could not possibly eat enough to keep weight on."
Perhaps but this is kinda like taking only a half a prescription of antibiotics ... maybe it werked :dunno: or maybe your making thangs worser for later on :dunno:
"Even with adding a handful of healthy fats he's stabilized at 182. Long & lean to the extreme. :chuckle: "
:woe: yer black boxing the concept of fats into two categories healthy and not healthy without unerstanzing what they even is :pullhair: There's a reason ALL fats have 9 calories per gram as well as soap made from :cow: tallow uses the same process and quantities as say olive oil soap. ALL doof oils are fundamentally the same :therethere:
Srsly the only real differences are the triglyceride ratios aka the main components and the level of saturation or unsaturation. For instance look at olive oil ~80% oleic acid and up to 20% palmitic acid vs :cow: tallow ~50% oleic acid and 25% palmitic acid ... sure :cow: tallow has a doogly amount of stearic acid too but that's what a lot of moisturizers use and is added in all sorts of other doof too :yes:
There are reasons why one oil is better than another for specific thangs but the healthy not healthy :carp: is mostly marketing and poorly unerstood science. As mentioned numerous times afores ... the thang that makes olive oil "healthy" is NOT the oil :nono: it's the bits referred to as "nonsaponifiables" fer realz :yes: It's also why I made my olive leaf :egg: tract webpage in siguie tested :yes:

:hello: You are simply misunderstanding. :yes:
Last shall be first:
"So am I correct in thinking that a WFPB diet (regular-style which is no oil but does include nuts, avo, olives & coconut) will indeed reverse or cure many diseases in the short term BUT lead to other health issues in the long term? So as you've said before maybe 6 monthsish stints (not stents :rimshot: ) might be the best bet?"

However, he obliviously did not do well with oils :wall:
You are WRONG! :bsl: I am not talking about :b: AT ALL. I am simply trying to understand how both 'sides' can be 'right'.... how the WFPB proponents can claim it cures most everything and how you claim it can kill most everyone...eventually.
I was axshully thinking more about peoples with autoimmune disorders or other chronic diseases & how maybe a short stint on a WFPB might just could push the proverbial reset button.
And then this:
"Even with adding a handful of healthy fats he's stabilized at 182. Long & lean to the extreme. :chuckle: "
:woe: yer black boxing the concept of fats into two categories healthy and not healthy without unerstanzing what they even is :pullhair: There's a reason ALL fats have 9 calories per gram as well as soap made from :cow: tallow uses the same process and quantities as say olive oil soap.

I am not black boxing anything... tho it kinda feels like boxing you! :buttkick: :hysterical:
I am speaking of healthy fats as WHOLE foods. Olives, coconut (unprocessed), avocado, eggs.
I was not referring to oils whatsoever. :no: I still use NO oil except for seasoning my carbon steel skillet & a teaspoon or so of olive oil on Jacki's salads. That's all. No more. We do not need any more as I have learnt to cook oillos! :happydance:
Apology accepted. :pie: I am no Minh. :drama: I am an :asilly:
But for general population I still feel that whole foods are the way to go. Not the grocery store tho I surely did like shopping there. :chuckle: To meat or not to meat is debatable but avoiding ultra processed (and yes I noes we can argue the definition of processed so let's just calls it ready-made or packaged foods :p ) is key to better health.
For realz I commented to Mom about how many plus-sized cheerleaders there were at the Grizzlies game we went to. It was HBCU night & the sororities & fraternities & cheerleaders all 'walked' & danced at halftime. I said, "When I was in school there were no cheerleaders who were plus sized". And she wisely replied, "There were just not very many plus-sized people back then. Today, most everybody is plus-sized". And here, in the Biblical diabetes belt, she is correct. :yes:
And the primary difference between the 1970s & now? The proliferation of frozen & ready-to-eat foods! And I notice at the grocery store how most peoples, especially young families, have carts loaded to the hilt with meals ready-to-go. Things like frozen lasagnas, frozen mac & cheese, Hot Pockets (Lord, cousin Matthew grew up on Hot Pockets & pizza rolls).... And I'm not knocking the factory foods cuz once in awhile they're really doog. :chuckle: BUT...it is the primary food source for many many peoples. Most peoples buy little to no produce or dried beans or grains. And also the frequency of fast fooding. When I was a kid going to McDonald's was a real treat. Not any more. :nonono:
But I digress... :windy: :wub:
It is a beautiful day!!!!! :bliss: 70s for the next few days & brilliant :sun: shine. We now have 6 shipping crate raised beds ready to fill (the first one is mostly full already) & so many many perennials & volunteers shooting up to be seen & not heard. :chuckle:
This time change sucks for peoples like me who wanna get outside early. :sigh: The old DST :carp: line was that it was started to give farmers more daylight. :crazyeyes: And the Native Americans said only white man is so stupid as to think they can cut the top off a blanket & sew it on to the bottom to make the blanket longer. :woe:

Quote from: SpaceweatherA SPIRAL COMET: Astronomers are monitoring Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks as it approaches the sun for a close encounter in April. Several amateurs have noticed something strange about the comet's core: It's a spiral. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
Dang it :norway: I was literally trying to image that at the poifect time :gaah: dang you :cloud: s :fist: and unhelpful horizon line :drama:
Oh try and goes take a look at the spaceweather image afores it goes :bye: ... very cool :thumbs:
"You are WRONG! :bsl: I am not talking about :b: AT ALL. I am simply trying to understand how both 'sides' can be 'right'.... how the WFPB proponents can claim it cures most everything and how you claim it can kill most everyone...eventually."
:blush2: Oh in that case ...
:horn: NO :gaah: still wrong :buttkick:
Yer trying to find a reason to believe one thang or another is right or wrong without having to unerstanz how thangs werk or interact ... it's basically a type of rudimentary alchemy ... not even the more advanced ffuts :nono: Essentially you'll git to WTFPB heals whatever when it replaces the thangs causing sed problem or atleast until it becomes a new problem ... hence the :woe:
Whether you are talking about B or not don't make no neber mind :nono: There ARE reasons that WTFPB heals people :yes: as does Keto as does Carnivore :yes: it just depends on what the problem is that needz healin AND what the peoplez can tolerate :angel:
FYI: Dr.E's protocol is NOT simply WTFPB + No Salt + No Sugar + No Oil + No :egg: + No :cow: + No doog Flavour :nono: ... Yes, he does promote sed diet but his thang is an actual "Protocol" in which the diet is just part of it :yes:
To dumbed it down as far as possible ... fer no reason :whistle: ... eberythang the protocol promotes are aimed at two primary goals 1) reduce inflammation and 2) improve circulation and that's it :angel:
Sure there's a lot of nuance with cholesterol and BP lowering and microbiome this 'n that but that really is it and why the protocol implores numerous doses of greens etc.
The important point to take note of is that THIS protocol is for CAD patients not EBERYTHANG :nonono: Sure it might help other issues but notice that his claim that you can git all the nutrition you need on this diet was wrong and he eventually added B12 supplementation.
To git back to yer others with autoimmune or chronic diseases comment ... it would depend on the causes of them thangs obliviousely. Thinxz about it ... :brain: ... k now try it with the :lbrain: ... iffen that autoimmune disease was "caused" by low vit.D levelz a WTFPB diet would make it worserer 'cuz purty muches yer :mushrooms: overlords are the only plant source of D and they isn't even doog at it :therethere:
Anywho that's only one :egg: ample but there are endless others where chronic disease is linked to a missing nutrient. Iffen sed nutrient is found in a plant then sure perchance a WTFPB diet is what the doktor ordered or shoulda iffen it were medically allowed :whistle:
That sed iffen the problem is too much processed :carp: then any diet that cuts that out would suffice and is likely why so many stoopid diets appear to werk well :angel:

As above so below. Does that potentially portend hurrycanes? Or :twister: :scratch:
Or is it just a reminder that time is truly a spiral? :yes: :wheee:
So you're saying that all of this is bunk?
https://www.forksoverknives.com/health-topics/
Or does we go back to what I sez which is "eeerbody's different". :yes: :wheee:
And a few of us are sooo different that we axshully don't need meat at all. :yes: :me:
Sooo different, so total kaerf that I am .17% of the world population according to Mark Elgar, Ph. D., an evolutionary biology professor at the University of Melbourne. That's red hair blue eyes. Red hair alone is a whopping 1-2%. :chuckle:
For realz...psyence has finally proven that I have a higher pain tolerance, tho oddly enough it takes more anesthetic to make me anesthetized. I'd be curious to know what percentage of redheads are also vegetarian. :scratch: Cua one day sighence may just prove that we don't need meat as other peoples do as well. :wiggle:
Just sayin that science is fluid. Constantly changing. Always asking questions. And far from absolute. :pie:
And mostly I guess I'm tryin to figger me out. :crazyeyes: For realz...the primary reason I ated that :burger: back when was becuz I'd let you convince me that I had to...or else. :scared: That's on me. :yes:
Aha! Somebody IS looking into my query. https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2023/09/being-a-vegetarian-may-be-partly-in-your-genes/
And there are others saying that there seems to be a genetic factor. But I've found no data on redheads being more likely to be vegetarian other than an anecdotal account of a Scottish girl who's family & others always assumed she was vegetarian becuz she had red hair. She said it was a common assumption that all redheads are vegetarian. :huh:
My sister is not. Tho she does very much prefer greens & salads & veggies over :burger: & :fries: but her husband is a :burger: & :fries: & :pizza: only kinda guy so she goes along with him.
Anyway.... it's still :spring: and I gots hundreds of :tomato: seedlings to flat. :happydance:

Boy oh boy sometimes conversing with you is like talking to a :wall:
:spitcoffee:
I needz the gurls to back me up. :chuckle: I miss my :woo: sisters!
First:
"So you're saying that all of this is bunk?
https://www.forksoverknives.com/health-topics/ "
They is just pictures so sure prolly :dunno:
:therethere: You hafta click on the title beneath the pictures to read the accompanying article. :sigh: :woe:
And :no:
I don't know why you keep trying to make it sound like I believe everyone oughta eat vegetarian. :woe:
Everybody is different!
That is the point.
The dichotomy for me is in how you claim vegetarian & especially veganism are unsustainable for ALL when I noes that I feel so much better without meat. And you did not recommend a :burger: :nonono: You just reiterated over & over again how nutrient deficient a meatlos diet was so I (wrongly) decided maybe I was deficient. I was feeling run down at the time but in hindsight it was afore I knew my thyroid was borked. A :burger: was the easiest thing for me cuz I absolutely could never eat anything with a 'fleshy' texture. :yucky:
Anyway...doesn't matter. I yam what I yam. :wiggle:
Oh & Indians in America begin eating American doof. :yes: :burger: and :fries:
And tho many are vegetarian their diet is not particularly 'healthy' consisting of lotsa milk, cream, cheese & more.
B loves palak paneer & asked if I could try making it sometime. So I did...veganized. :sigh: It was not at all like the heavy cream palak paneer he loved :rofl: and I tolded him it would not be but he had to eat it to find out. :chuckle:
At the Mediterranean restaurant in Jackson the owner's teenage son weighs at least 300 pounds. He is a very nice kid. :yes:
But one day when we were there he took a break & sat down in the restaurant near us with a plate heaped full of :fries: The amount of at least 4 regular sized orders of :fries:
American doof is addictive & delicious & deadly!
But I digress... :wubsigh:
Another gorgeous day! I flatted 164 tomato plants yesterday & gots a few more I want to save today. :happydance:

Why would I does that even iffen I could read? :dunno:
"The dichotomy for me is in how you claim vegetarian & especially veganism are unsustainable for ALL when I noes that I feel so much better without meat."
:huh: Wow :faint: doog to noes I'm not the only one who cannot read :cheer:
:horn: I said vegan diets are :egg: tremely difficult to remain healthy on without a lot of werk and most cannot do it :nono: and that's just the 15% who remain on the diet. Vegetarianz are generally fine until they are not ... usually because after enough time nutritional deficiencies popup generally due to infrequent doof cycling {aka not enough variety}.
The Indians I noes came to Amerikaz to make better money and generally send a lot back home to fambilies but neither eat out nore does muches other than werk :thumbs: Their downfalls are typically a combination of upgrading to stainless steel cookware and the discovery of high carb snack doof while still eating mostly rice at ebery meal.

No :cloud: s :ura: fer atleast 2 nights ... prolly :cheer:

Why would I does that even iffen I could read? :dunno:

:huh: Wow :faint: doog to noes I'm not the only one who cannot read :cheer:
:horn: I said vegan diets are :egg: tremely difficult to remain healthy on without a lot of werk and most cannot do it :nono: and that's just the 15% who remain on the diet. Vegetarianz are generally fine until they are not ... usually because after enough time nutritional deficiencies popup generally due to infrequent doof cycling {aka not enough variety}.
The Indians I noes came to Amerikaz to make better money and generally send a lot back home to fambilies but neither eat out nore does muches other than werk :thumbs: Their downfalls are typically a combination of upgrading to stainless steel cookware and the discovery of high carb snack doof while still eating mostly rice at ebery meal.

Anywho I may have spawned a new group trend :wiggle: though most said nope when I pointed out the low carb requirement :sigh: Thang is half of them are always trying out the latest marketing/trending weight loss this or that so I thunked they'd noes :scratch:
Regardless ketone breath testers are NOT accurate :nono: but they ARE :egg: tremely sensitive ... likes me :blush2: ... and as mentioned somewherez here I chose one that displays ketones in PPM instead of trying to map the results to a mmol/L equivalent. The reason is PPMs are useful and meaningful the mapping function is non-linear and changes over time with a persons bodys adaptation to ketone use.
For the most part any non-Zero number from 1 to 10 ppm means ketosis and ideally for Nutritional Ketosis yer looking for 20 to 30 ppm above that is Therapeutic Ketosis.
I'm mostly inerested in nutritional ketosis and in particular figuring out the effects of β-hydroxybutyrate {BHB} on my body ... k anyones bodies but minions eat too many carbs and spoil my data :fist: Ya seez BHB supplements as in siguie brand gummies come as a racemic mix of both R and S forms aka a more or less racemic mix of diastereomers these are kemystery wurdz which overall means this molecule has two forms like a right handed glove and a left handed glove ... and tech :nickel: ly can rotate plane polarized light different directions but that part isn't important.
What IS important is that the body only uses the R form for NRGeez :electrocute: :flex: and it does this lickity splitz like :banana: the S form isn't useless though it can be involved in receptor signaling but the body can also convert it from S to the useful R form. This is actually rather nice because it's a much slooower process which means there is an initial :bump: a drop then a slooow tapering off.
With the ketone breathalyzer I can see for me at just barely in ketosis ... 1 gram of BHB produces a quick spike 10 to 15 ppm in 30 minutes to an hour that then drops off ~50% after 30 minutes but seems to linger for 2 to 4 hours. Larger doses, like the recommended 3 grams, produces a much larger spike that lasts much longer and has a tapering period greater than 8 hours. This is just me and the longer testing periods are tricky since there's nermal variation based on doof and activity levelz ... YMMV :oz:
The main reason the minions were intrigued by this breathalyzer ffuts is I mentioned in passing that being in ketosis for the most part means yer blood glucose levelz are under a hunert and prolly low 90's or less. Apparently it's a thang to noes yer glucose levelz now :dunno: and people are buying up the continuous glucose testers now that they do not require a prescription. Of course to keep up with this trend a few of the minions are/were considering them and they is stoopid :egg: spensive :faint: my breathalyzer was ~$20 :matt:
Iffen ghostghurl shows up ... from the available research it appears that nutritional ketosis is generally NOT sufficient to "reverse" type 2 diabetes {T2D} :nono: it's sufficient to keep T2D in remission :yes: but for the most part reversal appears to involves a GLP1 :bump: with ketosis at a therapeutic level or basically carnivore keto {ketovore} WITH fasting :therethere: There is evidence for a "cure" ... meaning proper non-diabetic like insulin response to sugar even after 20yrs as a t2d BUT the caveat is the longer one remains type 2 the less likely a cure is so not for eberyone BUT there's a reasonable chance :yes:

Yes I noes it's caturday BUT siguie's solar observatory is up and streaming :gstars:

:sigh: it's hazy anyways :kickcan:

On the other hand last night I randomly picked a spot to image and according to Seestars star catalog it is either V750 Monocerotist or close enough that it thunked it was :scratch: Anywho after 40 minutes the :wheee: little blank bit of the sky lit up :happydance: apparently it is a nebula or part of one ... I'll need to star :check: and colour correct BUT I thunked it kinda cool to just point the thang and git this :bliss:

In theory the BIG monster :sun: spots from afores are coming back around :wheee: and there were 40 sumthin flares yesterday :happydance: of course zero while I was filming :gaah:
Anywho werked out how to "stack" RAW video and Time Lapsicalz :yesss: there was still 12% :cloud: s as well as ocean haze BUT I still managed to git sharper images that could be blowed up :boom: In theory the sFiddy 'should' be able to resolve the "texture" of the :sun: s surface somewhat but like Jupiters bands ya needz doog conditions :gaah:

The blowed up bit is the :wheee: sunspots middle 'n south :wiggle: ... I didn't notice the tiny thang way up North and about to vanish off the Western limb until after I posted :ashamed:

That :sun: is not boring :nonono: It's absolutely beautiful :wubsigh: & pulsing with invisible energy. :heartbeat:
And the other 'nebulizer' (still thinking bout your 'breathalizer' and 'group trend' :hysterical: ) ...
It's a broken :heart: !!! :faint: :wub: :love:
Siguie's solar observatory! :gstars:
So I was :missing: :uhoh: Axshully, just :spring: time busy. :splat:
And you axed about Matthew... :sigh: So he finished up the 6 week antibiotic course per the internal medicinist :chuckle: at the new drow and now his temp is back up. She cut him loose saying that she's tested for pretty much every organism & bacteria known to man & found nothing. His temp runs 100-100.5 typically but supposedly he takes tylenol & then is 'fine'. :sigh: Yeah, yeah, I noes...
He's also having nosebleeds, so bad that his mom had to come home & take him to ER to get it stopped the other day. And they say he's "always had nosebleeds" and act as if it's no big deal. :sigh: Yeah, yeah, I noes... :wall:
The diarrhea continues as well & they just all seem to accept it as 'normal' now. :crazyeyes:
I believe it's this week that he finally gets to see the gastroenterologist but of course we know they aren't gonna do or say much until they do their own diagnostics. They are looking forward to the visit, thinking that finally they may get to the bottom of what's going on & yes, hopefully that is the case, but it won't happen immediately like they think.
He's not had a stool sample analyzed in a couple months so I guess nobody really knows if the salmonella is gone or not.
He's not going anywhere, not doing anything & it oddly doesn't seem to bother him at all. :huh:
I think we've seen him once in the past year. :faint: Zen Aunt talks to him pretty much daily but she's not seen him much at all either.
:dunno:

Ya seez a lot a LOT of :heart: s in ffuts :whistle: it's ok to sez it's borked :therethere: It can fix itself 'cuz it's a nebulizer :chuckle: Srsly stars perchance even :gstars: are borned in them thangs hence the term Stellar Nursery :matt:
Oh this was a quickie from last night when there was a clear moment ... a little over 30 minutes and a single take :happydance: I just cropped it so that it was at the same resolution as my phone. Tech :nickel: ly it'll be mucehs nicer when I has time to werk up the data :happydance:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/m51-031724.jpg)
Anywho it's like playing wack a mole trying to git stellar images between :cloud: s :gaah:
BUT kinda nuf too :wiggle:
Oh I also gotted Messier 91 aka m91 {NGC 4548} ...

Dang poor Mathew :therethere: I'm betting the nosebleed thang is a blood pressure symptom :yes: When you is ill and fighting sumthin :guns: perchance like sepsis :whistle: bp is generally raised PLUS with sprang on the horizon like in tomorrow ... there's the added pollen thang that :bump: s the nosebleed frequency :yes: That and with sooo many months of sepsis his vasculature is prolly all inflamed :sofa:
Ya noes you could prolly WTFPB cure him in just a couple of days ...two weeks tops :yes: Though he'd also need a fair amount of probiotic therapies :scratch: Srsly when you've been on that many antibiotics so frequently the gut biome is basically a nuklear :boom: site :horror:

Anywho I've purty muches gotted the s50 figured out :yes: and it's time to start looking for local portals :norway: Yeah I noes it's not like I can just point the thang all willy and nilly likes and git a nebula or :ghost: BUT I hasn't been to a local :woo: store in years so I'll go chat some peoplez up and git the layout of where thangs are supposed to be :wiggle: Iffen nuthin else there should be some local :ghost: spots :oz:
:yawn: :coffee:
People are still tired :zzz: though it is Moonday so nermal :whip:
In other newses kale night agin :no:
Oh and I found a vit.D Gummy that contains calcifediol this is the active form of vit.D ... it's typically only available as a prescription OR in europe and then mostly for narcolepsy. I git it in my cod liver oil but otherwise you purty muches need to eat (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) liver for any significant amount :yes: That said there's a company "d.velop" :rimshot: that started providing it in the US and they has two products available on Amazon Vitamin D Gummies for Adults - 2400 IU, 20 mcg (https://amzn.to/3vh1DSy) <= Amazon Link and Vitamin D Supplements 2400 IU, 20 mcg (https://amzn.to/43pkCar) <= Amazon Link which is the better regarded tablet form :wiggle:
Anywho, I ordered the gummy form for Dad and it should arrive tomorrow. People complain that the gummies are too tart which might be an issue for Dad BUT I can gummy dang near anythin :flex: so wurst case I'll just redo it since the ffuts is theramlly purty stable :wiggle:
K yes they is overpriced :drama: but it takes freaken foreber to :bump: vit.D levelz with D3 :gaah: AND yeah there are a lot of new research in regards to covid, flu and URI's in general {Upper Respiratory Infections} ALL showing that vit.D deficiency is a BIG player. That said there's also research showing that covid patients did NOT does well with D3 :unthumbs: while those given calcifediol did way WAY betterer :thumbs:
Anywho the two fastest ways to :bump: serum D levels is calcifediol followed by :sun: requiring 1 to 3 days while D3 can take up to 4 months to reach therapeutic levelz :oz:
FYI: the fastest of the fastest ways is Calcitriol which is the form produced by the kidney enzymes effect on calcifediol AND is about 100 times more potent than calcifediol AND of course prescription only AND purty muches only for those with kidney failure BUT doog ffiuts :thumbs:
With a little luck I might be able to git back in time for some more night sky data acquisition :wiggle: I really want comet 12P but it's on the wrong side of the horizon when Mr.Night creeps on ober :pullhair: Oh and the :fullmoon: keeps setting afores I git back :gaah: I really just want the lunar straight wall :wall: but purtty sure I missed that :gaah: :secret: only seezable on the 8th or 9th day after the new :moon:
Of course after tomorrow :cloud: s and prolly :rain: :sigh:
:kickcan:
Oh this was a quickie from last night when there was a clear moment ... a little over 30 minutes and a single take :happydance: I just cropped it so that it was at the same resolution as my phone. Tech :nickel: ly it'll be mucehs nicer when I has time to werk up the data :happydance:

K this... it'll be mucehs nicer
For the mucehs I recommend a...wait for it... nebulizer! :rimshot: :bsl:
But still...awesome photos. I thinks your new hobby is much betterer than the virtual reality world. :righton:
Tho, come to think of it, I bet you could VR all the :carp: you's doing & not even hafta does it! :woe: :no:
And :yes: I see :heart: ffuts everywhere cuz I'm just a :shera: kinda gal. :yes: I cain't help it. I was borned this way. :asilly:
And yes, I been thinking about Pandora a lot, too. :hearts: I'll text her. :check:
I :wish: we had a local :woo: store. :sigh: :woo: is 'forbidden' in the Bible belt. :rofl: Discouraged would be more accurate.
That's why I stays in hiding. :hysterical:
Speaking of unhiding...gotta goes to Jackson today for a hair cut. And becuz my appointment is at 2:30 & it'll be 5 or 6 before we get home, we're bring ramen from the ramen bar for supper. :happydance: I was just looking at their menu & saw takoyaki :scared: You prolly knows what it is but I had no idea. :uhoh: Octopus balls! :aaahhh: :spitcoffee:
Matthew... :yes: I would love to feed him for a week or 2. :yes: Maybe...after he does the due diligence with the GI... just maybe he would come stay with his Granny (Zen Aunt) for awhile & she & I could feed him plus he could help her with :spring: cleanup & more. :yes: Or maybe not. :chuckle:
J ack i's up. :wiggle: Gotta :run:
Kale! :gstars: Kroger had beautiful new turnip,mustard greens & collards for 99 cents a BIG bunch so I gotted 5 bunches of turnip greens & cooked them on Sunday & I gots 3 bunches of collards to cook tomorrow. :drool:

Double fisted tragedy :boom: :boom: after kale night :drama:
First the fog rolled in 4 freaken hours before it was scheduled :gaah: second and even worser ... seestar released a mandatory firmware upgrade which FAILED :gaah: rendering the thang useless for the night :wall:
The nights was gonna be a bust anyways BUT I coulda gotted some :moon: shots afores the fog creeped in with it's kitty feetz :drama: :sigh:
:kickcan:
Anywho I dropped by the seestar forum during lunch and yup I tweren't the only one :nono: It seems they released a Micro$oft magnitude bad update :gaah:
"For the mucehs I recommend a...wait for it... nebulizer! :rimshot: :bsl: "
:chuckle: K that one was purty nuffy :hysterical:
"But still...awesome photos. I thinks your new hobby is much betterer than the virtual reality world. :righton: "
Well not really a "new" hobby I just upgraded with a BIG tech :bump: :yes: ... when we was growding up we ALL took turns grinding a hunk a glass to turn it into a 10 inch mirror for a reflecting telescope ... which we then built around the thang :wiggle: All together the thang is HUGE and needed about 2 hours to acclimate to the temperature elsewise there were optical distortions. It still lives in a closet and I was planning on bringing it to siguie manor someday and replacing the eyepiece with a digital one so I could control it from inside. Anywho the Sfiddy is just way WAY easier :bliss:
Oh I already can does it all in VR :yes: but it gits boring when the acquisition times is in the hours :faint: Ya seez the reflektor teleskopes use ginormous mirrors and lenses to gather as much light as possible so you can just seez whatever. Unfortunately it gits tricky with light pollution and ffuts. The s50 uses longer times and amazin tracking skillz to acquire image data THEN applies a variety of algorithms to add the data together building up the desired image while removing the incidental not image data :angel:
Also the best part is I just put the thang outside and tellz it what to does from inside and goes about doesing whatever I likes and just :check: on it periodically :wiggle: Also I plan out what will be visible when and wherez so I can git images between them dang :cloud: s :fist:
Anywho you'd really enjoy playing with one in durtville ... ya noes 'cept for the whole :offtobed: when the :sun: goes :bye:
:flyball:
"I :wish: we had a local :woo: store. :sigh: :woo: is 'forbidden' in the Bible belt. :rofl: Discouraged would be more accurate.

Oh there looks like one in Clarkseville "Universe Crystals" BUT the further south ya goes the more you'll seez :yes: 'cuz Louisiana is like a Hoodoodoo Meca :yes:

Well the GI doktor ... I really hopes his name is Joe :hysterical: ... will almost certainly sez it's :blah: :blah: 'cuz when a person is overweight and still eating poorly there is ALWAYS sumthin a GI doktor can latch on to :yes: For realz :yes: like slap a glucose monitor on him and see his insulin spike is above the nermal threshold ... which it basically has to be :roll: ... then they can sez pre-diabetes inflammation promoting :blob: s in the bloodstream etc. Alternatively they can just sez eberythang else was ruled out so :boom: it's IBS 'cuz there are no laboratory tests needed :nono: And honestly it purty much has to be sumthin in the IBS category :yes: prolly not perforated bowel but sumthin in that faux leaky gut area almost certainly :yes:
A doog GI doktor might run a colonoscopy :horror: at which point it will prolly be noncancerous polyps and the tugging as :carp: moves by causing localized trauma at the base allowing bacteria access to the blood stream :suck: etc. OR basically really nasty hemorrhoids kinda thang.
So yup one way or another I predikt :mina: there will be a diagnosis :yes: It's fiddy fiddy iffen it's right or not :dunno: BUT a digestive issue was the oblivious choice from the beginning :yes: The inersting part will be what the prescription is :share:
Srsly there are soooo many medicines that sorta werk it's like xmas :santa: :cheer:

"And yes, I been thinking about Pandora a lot, too. :hearts: I'll text her. :check: "

Sad. But true.
:bsl:
We all went to bed at 8 last night. :rofl: :b: gotted up at 3:45 as usual. I gotted up around 5:15. J slept til 8. 8 to 8. :rofl:
It was a busy day. :wiggle: We had freezing so I'd covered alotta ffutses & then had to uncover & dry all the coverings (mostly pillow cases cuz it was baby hydrangeas & the likes that we were covering). Then Jackson to get my hairs cut.
I was there on the Winter Solstice...and then again at Equinox. When I pointed that out to Heather she says, "Well...I'll see you on the first day of summer then!". :rofl: It's growing so nice & healthy. She was amazed at the amount of growth as well as the density & healthiness. :happydance:
And then we brought ramen home from the ramen bar in Jackson! :cheer:
Anyway...no bassetbawl (our teams) means early bedtime. :offtobed:
G.I. Joe! :bsl: I saw a surgeon 35 years ago (he just cut a suspicious spot off the back of my leg) named Dr. Sharp once. :righton:
:therethere: Solly the fog did not follow directions & crept in early. :sigh: And solly that the Seestar updaters had no respect for the starseers. :chuckle: They coulda done it during daylight hours! :buttkick:
:woe:
Being you is really hard. :therethere:
So... Pandora (& Bug & Buglet) seemed fine herself but is surrounded by peoples close to her going through really hard times... :vibes: :shera:
She said she'd check in today. :wiggle:
So after a low of 23 night before last we are back to 70 today. :rofl: :wheee:
Gotta get me some... :bliss: :sun: :bliss:
Also gotts see how I can help Mom get ready for company. Sis + bil and both nieces + guys are all coming next Thurzdaze night for Easter. :rabbit: :grouphug: They will all hafta leave on Easter Sunday so our dinger will be Saturday. :yes:

Oh yeah, :sigster: Amembers way back in 2020 when we were discussing psoriasis cuz B was so very bad & I kept saying I saw a 'switch' of some sort . And I kept feeling that if I could just find the way to flip the switch... :boom: Healed! :gstars:
I remember Pandora agreeing that it seemed feasible that there was a 'switch'.
Well...this came across my google feed this morning:

Yes, very feasible :yes: 'cuz there are lots of switches and that's literally what those bio :logic: s does :yes:
"Well...this came across my google feed this morning: "
Yeeah about that ... you perchance want to look at the actual paper :whistle: ... that's a Reader's Digest overview with a marketing :bump:
It's not a "switch" and I doubt the researchers would eber callz it that :scratch: They confirmed a known pathways mechanism and identified a point that appears "... amenable to therapeutic exploitation."
There are MANY pathways and this one involves Ubiquinol for Ubiquitin and subsequent ubiquitylation of this that 'n the other ... so iffen the psoriasis brand of autoimmune dysfunction is related the question is does this imply a deficiency of ubiquinol or some mechanistic problem in the way it's used by the body OR some other pathway all together :dunno:
Anywho I mentioned ubiquinol as a potential treatment a few years agoes and you was all done that no effect :nono: 'cuz it's also a potential treatment for :heart: disease as well as RA ... and as I recall it was via the interleukin-6 pathway :scratch:
I suspect a more likely "cure" for autoimmune ffuts is the vaccines to make the immune system fergetz :brain: Srsly :yes: amemberz how I sed the liver was the key to most problems ... well I'm betting it is for autoimmune ffuts in general :yes: Anywho just google "Inverse Vaccine" they are already in trials for treating MS and a bunch of other autoimmune disease :wiggle:
Oh and this just in ... fer Pan :whistle:
Inverse-Vaccines for Rheumatoid Arthritis Re-establish Metabolic and Immunological Homeostasis in Joint Tissues (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38469995/)
In short ... " Overall, this study shows that the inverse-vaccines initiate early re-establishment of homeostasis, which persists through the disease span."
That sed there's still more to it ... I'm thinking more hepatic therapy ffuts PLUS :bump: in GlyNAC for ... wait for it ... Mitochondria :gstars: ... yeah it has to does with glutathione or as I likes to put it ...

Mmmmm ramen :liplick:
I should git back to noodling :wiggle: ... it's easy to make doog ramen BUT really hard/time consuming to make Great ramen :hail: That's why I'm still willing to pay big bucks for ramen that I don't has to make :nono:
Oh yeah one of the drawbacks of gettin doog at the cookin thang is when ya eat out unless it's really doog or yer paying for the ambiance ... it feelz like yer gettin ripped off :gaah:

"Oh yeah, :sigster: Amembers way back in 2020 when we were discussing psoriasis cuz B was so very bad & I kept saying I saw a 'switch' of some sort . And I kept feeling that if I could just find the way to flip the switch... :boom: Healed! :gstars: "
:scratch: No not really :dunno: but that sounds about yer speed :yes:
"I remember Pandora agreeing that it seemed feasible that there was a 'switch'."
Yes, very feasible :yes: 'cuz there are lots of switches and that's literally what those bio :logic: s does :yes:
"Well...this came across my google feed this morning: "
Yeeah about that ... you perchance want to look at the actual paper :whistle: ... that's a Reader's Digest overview with a marketing :bump:
It's not a "switch" and I doubt the researchers would eber callz it that :scratch: They confirmed a known pathways mechanism and identified a point that appears "... amenable to therapeutic exploitation."
There are MANY pathways and this one involves Ubiquinol for Ubiquitin and subsequent ubiquitylation of this that 'n the other ... so iffen the psoriasis brand of autoimmune dysfunction is related the question is does this imply a deficiency of ubiquinol or some mechanistic problem in the way it's used by the body OR some other pathway all together :dunno:
Anywho I mentioned ubiquinol as a potential treatment a few years agoes and you was all done that no effect :nono: 'cuz it's also a potential treatment for :heart: disease as well as RA ... and as I recall it was via the interleukin-6 pathway :scratch:
I suspect a more likely "cure" for autoimmune ffuts is the vaccines to make the immune system fergetz :brain: Srsly :yes: amemberz how I sed the liver was the key to most problems ... well I'm betting it is for autoimmune ffuts in general :yes: Anywho just google "Inverse Vaccine" they are already in trials for treating MS and a bunch of other autoimmune disease :wiggle:

I knew you would trash the link & my short-lived feeling of 'rightness'. :buttkick:
S'ok. Cuz I knew that already. :p
Well... :sun: light is a switch flipper for the psoriasis. :yes: He was just beginning to cross the threshold from mild to moderate but then... :sun: :bliss: :sun: And it begins to retreat just like a vampire. :suck: :rofl:
So why sunlight & not artificial light nor D3? I mean maybe the D3 has helped keep it at bay. The diet oughta have done so but :nonono: not totally.
And how did the shots make it disappear within a week, tho it was always short-lived as it began to reappear a week before the next injection. So essentially he gotted 2 weeks of total clear from a once every 4-week injection. :crazy:
Obliviously that was NOT a switch flipper in earnest.
It doesn't matter. It's Thurzdaze & if you ain't got time to proliferate it doesn't really matter. We have found the sweetest sweet spot at present for :b: and the psoriasis is not a thing at present...and the cardiac symptoms are non-existent right now...so it's game on for planting & :spring: time. :bliss: He has started soooo many flowers in the lab/guestroom. :chuckle:
Happy Almost Friday!!! :gstars:

Dang it's :shiver: here! We've had a pretty mild winter, but it's giving us a last taste of it this week.
Buglet is mostly walking now. He is about 2 foot 8 inches, and 35 pounds. Big solid kid. The apple of my eye, he is. :wub:
He still has the deep blue of his mother's eyes, and sandy brown hair with a whisp of curl in it.
I'm kept busy, that's for sure!
In other newses:
Total eclipse on April 8th! Our ecliptic path is Buffalo. Not sure if I can get there.
A fisherman caught a close to 4 ft alligator in Norris Lake, TN. :asiel: ?
There's a new horror film out this year called Sting. :sigster: you'd love it. :bsl:
Anyways, carry on :wub: ya'll!

Yeah Vitamin D is tricky. The best way to monitor it is getting yer level tested and then going from there. The bestest source is fatty fish; like trout and salmon. Which is why I'm considering becoming a Pescatarian agins. At my age, absorption is not as efficient. So, naturally, there's the sun exposure, fish, and two fruits that are helpful; bananas and oranges, and then there are certain mushrooms. Bananas are a bonus because of their magnesium content which is needed for D3. Anyways, Sig has got it down on this one. :thumbs:
Man oh man still :shiver: here. But next week when I leave for Co its gonna be in the 50's. Go figure, in a car and not outside. :sigh:

We had a freeze over the weekend but the :treehug: all seemed to make it through as I guess it wasn't cold enough long enough for damage. :cheer: It's been an awesomely abundant flowering tree season so far. :wubsigh: The redbuds have really popped lately, as well as the crabapples...the bradford pears, hawthorns & wild cherry trees are finished flowering & now leafing. And the dogwoods will be next. It's like a parade... :rofl:
So yeah.... Serum D level. :check: I will mention it to him again. I will also reread the complicated esplanation again (rushing to get in the shower & out the door today) but what jumped out at me is how he has no subcutaneous (yes I noed what that word means :roll: ) fat any more. :woe: Yes...I know everybody has some...but he is super lean at this time.
Amembers, I did buy the D3 in coconut oil last time & that's what he's been taking for a few weeks. I also bumped him down to once a week (the 50kIU) since he's getting outside every afternoon for a couple hours & allll day long on the weekends.
Gotta :run: for now.
Pandora, it's so nice to feel you here. :hugs: But I certainly understand & am so happy for you to have Buglet in your life, though happier yet for him to have you in his life. :hearts:

Eclipsisis Day! :gstars: :sofa: :gstars:
I'm taking my vacuum & going to Mom's today. :wiggle: She gots lots of company coming on Thurzday night & she gots lots to do. :yes: We mowed her yard/leaves yesterday & pruned some bushes & ffutses.
I'm listening to an astrologer talking about the eclipse & an "elder Earth Mother Capricorn" energy that is available right now & I went :huh: That is me. :faint: Maybe not quite "elder" but it depends on from where one is looking. :chuckle:
Anyway...busy busy but also practicing balance :balance: and moderation & pacing myself. Don't think I mentioned that I've been working on healing sciatica for the past 2-3 weeks. It had me down nearly a week (whilst Mom was on her bus trip) & now I am fine until I overdo. It is teaching me moderation. :wiggle:
We gots :blowme: & then :rain: later tonight. Quite unsettled out there. :earthheart:
Quite settled in here. :om:
Have a wonderful day!
:gstars: :earth: :gstars:

Sciatica :huh: honestly yer WTFPB diet shoulda :thwack: ed that :yes: ... most ... sciatica is related to chronic low grade inflammation due to the americant diet :hmm2: Same is true for :carp: al tunnel though fer that one repetitive movement compresses the median nerve too muches or for too long BUT one of the factors for why some peoplez develop it and others don't is ... wait for it ... chronic low grade inflammation due to the americant diet :oz:
Fer realz :yes: any diet that :buttkick: s sugar and ultra processed carbs undoes the chronic inflammation and :boom: no morez sed symptom/issue :nono: You prolly has a bad werken or sitting position :yes: OR yer bed is too soft :oz:

So that diabees tidbit just proves more that data doesn't matta. :rimshot: (only works if you pronounce da-ta rather than day-ta :p )
:bsl:
So no...siguie wrong again. :yesss: :rofl:
I have a borked tailbone and lower spine from an ice skating accident when I was 16. I also has Mom's genetic tendencies towards low back ffuts. And the story goes that J & I were in Walmart restrooms...all the way in the back cuz they are cleaner :chuckle:
And when we left the restroom I used the foot lever on the bottom of the door with my right foot. So I tweaked it just right cuz when I put my left foot down I absolutely could not put full weight on that leg. So I hobbled out of the store, stopping frequently, & came home & looked up my youtube PTs & chiropractors. :chuckle:
It's classic nerve impingement & it sucks. :yes:
In hindsight I knew it was building cuz I'd told :b: a couple days before that my left leg felt 'heavy' and almost 'dead'.
Fwiw my left leg is my 'bad' one. It's where I have congenital vein issues..
And the lower spine as aforementioned has been gimpy for most of my life. :yes:
But no, it was not triggered by inflammation but rather by me falling off the yoga wagon & not doing what I needed to do for me.
So I gotted a whole week to do the bare minimum here & focus on healing me. :wiggle:
Anyway.... :woo: warning!!!
I've always felt that my lower spine issues as well as the whiplash without axshual whiplash neck was designed to hold my soul in my body. :yes: I've never had true whiplash but chiros always notice it...I figger it was the forceps used to yank me out. :uhoh:
Lest you never noticed I am a floaty sort :om: ... and this existence has been excruciatingly heavy so pre-Jacki it woulda been super easy for me to chuck it all & go back :sparkle: home :sparkle: Numerous psychics have told me that Jacki's primary purpose was to keep me here on this planet. :sigh:
So my theory is that at birth the top of my spine was 'locked' and then at 16 the bottom was closed off as well.
And now... it is time for me to fully connect (ground!) to this planet AND the higher realms for the good of all mankind & beyond.
To infinity & beyond... :bliss:
I got this. :shera:
But meanwhile... B had a relatively brief yet troubling episode of angina & arrhythmia last night. He was perfectly fine this morning. I believe it was a reminder to him that he still has work to do. :yes: The diet & physical is just part of his healing. The other parts are mental & spiritual & it is those areas that he can no longer ignore. :yes:
:hearts:

Quote from: SpaceweatherSEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A CME struck Earth's magnetic field yesterday, sparking a severe geomagnetic storm--the strongest since Sept. 2017. Sky watchers in Europe and the USA missed seeing a magnificent display of auroras by a matter of hours, a result of the CME's poor timing for Western sky watchers. We might get a second chance later this week if giant sunspot AR3615 explodes again. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

"So that diabees tidbit just proves more that data doesn't matta. :rimshot: (only works if you pronounce da-ta rather than day-ta :p )"
Silly :rbrain: er :chuckle: data is what proved that the medical diabetes standards are not right ... k try one more time but this time with the :lbrain: :therethere:
:flyball:
Also neether right nor wrong :siguie: ... I has no :dog: in that game :wiggle:
"It's classic nerve impingement & it sucks. :yes: "
Um ok so basically inflammation :check:
Yer getting caught up on the originating cause and yer natural susckceptiblityness :moon:
Anywho red light and mo betterer Infrared Light is a noed treatment but yoga pretzeling werks Apparently 1 :dunno:
"Fwiw my left leg is my 'bad' one. It's where I have congenital vein issues.."
Oh what type of vascular malformation? Is the blood pressure significantly different vs the right? :share:
10 to 20 mmHg is nermal and most people are higher on the right side :oz: The reason this might has any importance is yer dead leg feelin may be like ghstghurlz subclavian steal syndrome symptoms ... basically lowered blood flow/oxygen in the effected appendage. However, for youse perchance those oberly tight sock thangs the compression ones :dunno:
"But meanwhile... B had a relatively brief yet troubling episode of angina & arrhythmia last night. He was perfectly fine this morning."
Ya seez this is where data would be useful :whistle: even just oxygen saturation. At this point you really cannot tellz the difference between angina due to low O2 which triggers arrhythmia or arrhythmia induced angina or angina-ish symptoms that are induced by a covid induced arrhythmia :gaah:
In other newses ...
I did show 'n tellz with the minions :wiggle:
I showed off my Seestar S50 :wubsigh: and did a quick solar demo PLUS I handed out the solar glasses ... the cheap ones for them :drama:
Oh I woulda done this closer to game time but one minion was proudly showing off his eklipsical glasses yesterday that he gotted real cheap and I realized they was fake :wall: Srsly they need to has the right ISO certification and iffen nuthin else do some basic testing afores looking at the :sun: :woe:
Anywho the s50 is amazin and eberyone wants one until they noes the price :faint: THEN they all want raises and we all noes that's not gonna happen :whip:
BUT I still gotted some doog images of the :sun: and they sawed some of my nebula and galaxy images still left on the device :blush2:

Show & Tell!!! :happydance: :cheer: You're a doog Boss. :righton: Except for the no raises part. :buttkick: :chuckle:
Oh what type of vascular malformation? Is the blood pressure significantly different vs the right?
Oh so difficult to describe cuz it's one of those 'unknowns'. Jenal said it was a mortal wound from a past life. :eek:
So on the front of my upper left leg...right where the panty line wants to go :gaah: ...at the 'junction' of leg & trunk :chuckle:
there is a 'thing' that I've always called a birthmark cuz I've had it all my life. It is angioma-like but not truly an angioma.
It's about the size of 2 quarters stacked on top of each other like a snowman. It looks like a very bad bruise except that it is slightly bulged.
Anyway, it is connected to other malformed & unusual veins from my left groinal area all the way down the leg. :eek:
I have seen numerous doctors about it starting as a baby (they thought it would go away as a baby :chuckle: ). It would (and does) get quite painful at times & especially if I bump that area... tables & desks & the likes are at just the right height to hurt!).
The axshual 'birthmark' area was very sore when I was a kid. :sigh: And I honestly don't know if it stopped hurting or if I just got used to the discomfort. Now it only bothers me if I have bad :biggirlpanties: but I toss those as soon as I know they hit wrong.
It's been years but I've seen 2 different vascular surgeons, had a venogram, & most recently (a few years ago) had painful varicose vein in my shin 'killed'.
Anyway... everyone I've seen over the years has said that they've never seen anything quite like it & that they'd rather not go in & do anything cuz the veins are all twisted & gnarled in a mass. Lovely, huh? :chuckle:
I'm used to it. As I said, it's a lifelong thingy & not an issue except for when it is.
Oh & the varicose procedure was successful but more have now bulged out in other areas. :sigh: They are not painful tho & not horrible-looking.
So for real, I would barely wear shorts in my 20s cuz I was embarassed. The visible & varicose veins are down my shin & also on the back of my left leg.
So yes, the leg has often felt 'heavy' or 'dead' and yes, the compression socks as well as the yogical ffuts helps.
I also looove to hang upside-down on my excursion table (Jacki calls the inversion table that :rofl: ).
Sorry for the ramble, but as I said it is really hard to describe something that nobody knows what is.
And yeah... I noes that something that nobody else knows what is is exactly the kinda thing you likes to figger out! :rofl: :hi5:
Anyway... I'm a :red: I'm fine. :shera: Tis not a thing in the grand scheme of bodily ffutses.
Gotta get ready & go help Mom get groceries for all her company. They is arriving tomorrow! :scared: :excited:

"Oh so difficult to describe cuz it's one of those 'unknowns'. Jenal said it was a mortal wound from a past life. :eek: "
:woe: well that's helpful :yes: :yes: :nono:
Can you reach it with yer stethoscope?
Also can you feelz a pulse? Sometimez the pulse beat can be felt when the leg is at a different angle.
"Oh & the varicose procedure was successful but more have now bulged out in other areas. :sigh: They are not painful tho & not horrible-looking."
So the varicose veining is just the one leg? :hmm2:
"And yeah... I noes that something that nobody else knows what is is exactly the kinda thing you likes to figger out! :rofl: :hi5: "
Yup! :yes: t'is the way of my peoplez :wiggle:
Thang is this sounds like Arteriovenous Malformations aka AVMs ... the nuf thang is they isn't just all bundled together like a ball of rubber bands :nono: they is interconnected like a hypercomplex roads system :happydance: Muches like ghstghurlz subclavian steal syndrome the movement of blood :suck: follows a shuttled laminar flow model and the actual flow is more difficult to predict to say the least :whistle: with subclavian steal syndrome the pipping is messed up but not overly complex :nono: what makes it "bad" is the drop in blood pressure can effect the :brain: and her arm. For you the doktorz likely just looked above and below and decided the input and output is sufficient to keep yer leg from dying so don't mess with the Jenga mass :nono:
For the most part any area where the blood wasn't flowing sufficiently would eventually close up shop and the complexity of the mass woulda shoulda didn't git reduced :therethere:
Anywho here's the thang Varicose Veins have two basic characteristics a buildup in pressure and a failure in the one-way valve system. The valve system is what shuttles the blood up against grabbity. When the valve gits borked the blood pools and :boom: varicose veinage :horror:
Inerestinly THIS is likely a doog indicator for yer diet healthiness/completeness :yes: ... the WTFPB thang almost certainly lowers bp which in turn lowers the odds of gaining more varicose veins. The building blocks from sed diet are the thangs that produce the structural components for yer veins including those one-way valves :angel:
As a bonus the nitric oxide generated should :bump: overall blood flow too :yes:
Also yer vein doktor shoulda given you the nutrient list BUT other than D you want ALL of the B's as well as E ... and likely others but I noes more about vain than veins :drama:
Anywho yes compression feetz ffuts and antigrabbity thingy ALL reduce the vein pressure and help pumps the blood :suck: back up the leg ... iffen you can feelz the better when you does these thangs then yeah you should prolly does them :thwack:
Oh is it just the one leg that feelz better or both? :hmm2:
Ideally you'd want what is called a doppler blood flow meter BUT they is pricey :sigh:
In the meantime you should atleast git an ankle blood pressure reading on BOTH ankles :thwack:
Also yer doktorz are prolly correct in not wanting to mess with the :blob: it's not arterial :nono: BUT it has to does with how blood flows back to yer :heart: and it prolly messes with a few leg thangs like you've noticed :oz: That said you'd prolly feelz better on the inverter rack and very slight compression around the mass and of course keeping yer legs up without puttin any pressure on the :blob: too :yes: When it's painful that purty muches always means inflamed :therethere:

Yep. That all sounds about right. :yes:
And :yes: the stethescope reaches but I hear nothing. :lalala: When I was young it usta throb & hurt but that hasn't happened in prolly 30 years.
And :yes: the varicosities are only on the one leg but my BP is historically low (like 90/60 low) up until I quit smoking (yeah...backwards :chuckle: ) & gained 20 pounds & hit menopause when it shot up to 140/90ish. Now I'm back around 112/80.
The varicose veins were NOT due to BP tho cuz they began in my teens & early 20s. When my BP was pass out low. :faint:
And :yes: just the one leg feels better with the compression as the right leg is much stronger & feels fine all the time. :yes:
Funny, you know I do a minimum of 5 quick deep squats every day when getting dressed just to maintain strength & I catch myself standing back up with the right leg, just using the left one as balance. :chuckle: So I make a conscious effort to use the left leg equally.
So here's another oddity... Mom says the hematoma-ish spot occured about a week after I was born cuz my grandmother (her mother) accused her of stabbing me with a diaper pin. :eek: So I wasn't axshully born with it visible on the outside anyway.
But close enough that I tells people it's a birthmark cuz usually they'll say something like, "Oooh, that looks like it hurts. What happened?" . It shows iffin I wear a swimsuit but I am not at all self conscious about it any more.
Sorry bout your :rain:
Oh :pey: Have you seen any of those cool blue dragon thingies on your beach? I saw where they've been onshore in the Bay area as well as Zanna beaches. :wub:
We gots upper 70s & the our first 80 on Sunday!!! :happydance:

Ooooh Blue Dragons are very cool :thumbs: BUT from when I was in :oz: and (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/deepdiver.gif) on the Great Barrier Reef I'm purty sure they is a warmz water thang :scratch: They literally eat Man-o-Wars for dinger and concentrate and use the stingy bits for their own defense. I hasn't tried it but supposedly it's like getting stung by 4 or 5 Man-o-Wars at once :electrocute:
Anywho our water comes from Alaska so it's a :wheee: bit :shiver: for the likes of them :therethere: so "no" but I hasn't :check: ed and for the most part we doesn't has any beaches for them to wash up on :nono: Our sand comes back slooow after the storms and build towards summer :wiggle:
Now irukandji and box jellyfish I've dealt with in Hawaii :hula: but neber gotted zapped :electrocute:
"And :yes: the varicosities are only on the one leg but my BP is historically low (like 90/60 low) up until I quit smoking (yeah...backwards :chuckle: ) & gained 20 pounds & hit menopause when it shot up to 140/90ish. Now I'm back around 112/80."
Yeah the low :smokes: bp is a noed thang :yes: Some peoplez are effected weird like that :yes: It also suggests that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was likely yer thang 'cuz those with low BP coupled with low :heart: rate tend to recover from infections slooower AND feelz tared more :yawn: These are some of the reasons I :bump: my metabolism up to 60bpm :flex:
Anywho Ex :smokes: peoplez tend to has nermal agin BPs after so yer nermal :faint:
"The varicose veins were NOT due to BP tho cuz they began in my teens & early 20s. When my BP was pass out low. :faint: "
:woe: K one more time but this time use the :lbrain: ... think about filling a long water :balloon: ... naturally it's easier to let it fill down because it is getting grabbitational assistance in that direction. Now think about filling the same balloon but pointing up ... it's a lot LOT harder and instead of going up it pools around the base ... that's yer ankle with varicose veins :yes: :muaha:
Srsly that one-way valve system is kinda like a little shuttle mooving a bit of blood up and then preventing it from flowing back down and pooling. Varicose vain formation means sumthin is borked ... either too much pressure for the structural integrity of the vascular system at that point and or bad valves :therethere:
Since it's only the one leg and not by the :blob: it's ankle pressure borking the valves :therethere: Also thinxz about it ... :lbrain: puhleez :whistle: ... tilty table makes yer leg feelz better as do compression feet wearez BOTH reduce the pressure requirement to pump blood :suck: back up the leg.
Also it's NOT the overall BP :om: it's a localized pressure problem. The same way you can put a tourniquet on one leg and not effect ... muches ... yer overall bp :buttkick:
Anywho when you was young and did the :smokes: with a low bp yer vasculature was prolly weaker and easier to blowout :therethere: Ya noes from a definitive :cow: deficiency :moon:
In any event you prolly should oughta wear compression feetz thangs and werk yer bad leg more :yes: There's a doog chance it's what's causing the sciatica ffuts. Plus the feelz dooger thang suggests ya just gotted used to it not being doog and it could prolly use more blood flow and nutrient therapy :flex:
FYI: :red: tend to have high C-Reactive Proteins as in more prone to chronic inflammation :therethere:

Also it's NOT the overall BP :om: it's a localized pressure problem. The same way you can put a tourniquet on one leg and not effect ... muches ... yer overall bp :buttkick:
Anywho when you was young and did the :smokes: with a low bp yer vasculature was prolly weaker and easier to blowout :therethere: Ya noes from a definitive :cow: deficiency :moon:
In any event you prolly should oughta wear compression feetz thangs and werk yer bad leg more :yes: There's a doog chance it's what's causing the sciatica ffuts. Plus the feelz dooger thang suggests ya just gotted used to it not being doog and it could prolly use more blood flow and nutrient therapy :flex:
FYI: :red: tend to have high C-Reactive Proteins as in more prone to chronic inflammation :therethere:

I always liked the name Betelgeuse. :wub:
And enif... :lbrain: But boy oh boy the :rbrain: is funner. :bliss: :rofl:
And :yes: the whole pressure thingy makes sensicalz cuz I also have some pretty wicked spider veins at that ankle only. :yes:
I haven't been wearing compression socks much in a few years cuz since the vein procedure I hadn't had the pain like I usta always has. But now the leg does feel heavy & 'off' & I will begin again. :yes: I had another minorish episode at Mom's on Thursday. I bent over to pickup a small glass top table to move it & musta twisted 'just right' (or wrong :chuckle: ) & :boom:
But I was able to hit the floor & get back to walkability & a solid 80% :chuckle: Yesterday I was at 85% of my low-standard 100. :pie:
:thanks: for the recommends & I will surely does it. I axshully love my good compression socks (nurse mates) cuz they puts a spring in my step. :happydance: But I also have compression sleeves & other adequate, but not as good & fun, socks.
Hoppy Easter! :rabbit: We gots a big day today. Gonna have 15 at Mom's for early dinger at 2:30 & then it seems we're all going on a 'hayride' sans hay. :chuckle: Through the fields of the family farm & maybe even here. :yes:
:vibes: Sending you some :sun: shine.... 80ish & :sun: ny today. :bliss:
Tomorrow the company leaves & we gets to play outside all day long! :happydance:

I mean
Hey! We had HAY! :hayseed: :happydance:
My cousin really came through. :righton: He had half a dozen bales of hay upon which Mom, ZA, Jacki & a few more could sit. :yes: And...he stopped the truck not :tractor: several times to get out & tell historical or familial stories. :book: :cheer:
It was cool cuz this is ZA's son & he & his wife don't really associate much with her & us. :nonono: There is no 'issue'...just a lack of commonality I reckon. But he's the type that can go 3 weeks or more without talking to his mother whereas my type is to call every day just to check in. And to give mom someone to talks to. :wub:
Anyway...yesterday was :egg: cellent & now today they (sis & fam) are heading back to the North Coast. :yes: For realz, that's how the area refers to itself. :yes: :shiver:
And YES, I've already been noticing my gait & how I almost drag the left leg. It's not enough that most people would notice but I feelz it. And the reason I've been noticing is cuz I gotted new Birkenstocks & I noes I do driew foot things so whilst breaking them in I am real cautious about keeping my feetz in a proper position of :balance: Birkenstocks are great for gait adjusting. :chuckle:
I one old pair with such poor foot placement that I had to donate them. :ashamed:
I will fix it. :shera: That's what I does. :yes: Becuz I feel too good elsewise. :bliss:
Thanks so much for the tips & suches. :righton: I needed a :buttkick: to get in the tub. I still tend to think that it's too much trouble but I forgets that I don't hafta boil pots of water on the stove any more. :hysterical: :cheer:
We gots yer :cloud: today so maybe you will gets the :sun: :yes:
It's still gonna be near 80 tho...clouds & all.
Easter gatherings here are over. :yes: :faint: Boy oh boy they are a :twister: of energy rushing in but Mom really enjoys the theater. :rofl:

Yup lotsa :rain: and it just cleared and the :sun: is out and nigh BLANk :gaah: there are just three ... aka an ellipsis no not an eklipsis :buttkick:

:kickcan:
Happy to hear the durt clan git together was doog :thumbs: and even with :pey: I mean Hay :faint:
Ohai was Mathew in attendance? I was getting a tad worried about him ... chronic sepsis even if periodically treated takes a slooow toll :horror:
Yup the leg thang is weird ... which prolly why it fits right in with yer nermal :roll: Anyho it also helps asplain yer wacky diet preference :yes: No doubt unbeknownst to youse the :carp: you sez werks best for youse are actually the thangs that would be dietarily promoted for venous insufficiency 'n what knots ... who nude :dunno:

Fer realz :yes: Also the NO :bump: is a big help too :yes:
"Birkenstocks are great for gait adjusting. :chuckle: "
Dunno about "gait" but the classic Arizona style was really doog for feetz that would otherwise need an orthotic :angel:

I can ALWAYS be counted on for :buttkick: s :yes: incidentally another option are the leg massager for circulation (https://amzn.to/3TEqB6K) <= Amazon link ... I gotted two types one whole leg and feetz variety and a just the calf massager. I recommended them a while agoes for durtmomma BUT I gotted them for Dad when he hurt his ankle. Basically they force circulation in the legs and are really meant for post workout massage type ffuts BUT they are doog at mooving blood around :suck:
Dad HATEs them :yes: but it made him git up and moove :muaha: ya noes mostly to avoid hasing to use them :whistle: Anywho he sez they compress too hard even on the lightest setting on me I can barely feelz the pressure but I generally use the treadmill for 2 to 5 miles ebery night :dunno: so my leg muskles are purty doog YMMV.

And I'm with your dad. I'd rather move more than sit in leg squeezers....unless I really really needed them. :yes:
I've made a pact with myself to get back to bouncing... I tolded you I got a mini tramp during Cyber Monday? :scratch:
I started with a good daily habit & then SUDDENLY I fell off the wagon, in a quite figurative way. :faint: So this month is back on the wagon time. :yes:
And yes Matthew was there & he looked quite fine. :huh: The new GI is testing to make sure no more C diff or salmonella.
As I figgered she (Joanne? :pie: ) didn't say anything other than she could not believe that he has been without quality of life for so very long & she vowed to help him get it (life) back. So she ordered bloodwork & stool sample & then he'll see her again. :crazyeyes:

Intuition is what people call it when they don't unerstanz why sumthin is but does it anyway :moon:
That said you should look at the classic 1939 nutrition study back in the doog olde days when it was ok to does research on infants of teenage mothers and widows who couldn't afford to feed their youngins :wub: ... Davis CM. Results of the self-selection of diets by young children. Can Med Assoc J 1939;41:257-61
Srsly :yes: the kids were allowed to eat whatever they wanted in whatever amounts from a list of 34 doofs with no coaching from the feed nurses programmed to does nuthin but spoon the doof chosen by the kid into sed kid :yes:
Anywho it's a nutrition classic :thumbs: and you can git the scanned OCR version in pdf format here (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC537465/).
The inerestin thang is that back then there were plenty of nutritional deficits including rickets and espeeshully prevalent in this ragtag group of poor kidz. Basically they ALL chose to eat what ended up being what was bestest for them AND essentially ended ALL healthy :thumbs:
This was of course labeled a social travesty ... so further/similar research was banned and the nutritional deficits continued for another 25 years by the morally just of course :whistle:
You no doubt beleebz the :woo: asplination :whatever: ... the more inerestin question is "how" did the kidz noes what was doog for them and or what they needed most :scratch:
This harkens back to those tests in {I'm gonna sez 60's :hippy: but not sure} ... where babies were wrapped in a blanket and then later the mothers could tell from the blanket's smell which one wrapped their baby. Evolutionarily speaking this makes sensicalz :yes: and sorta asplains why wiminz in general have a better sense of smell. However, the mothers could only describe their scent choices by wurdz like stronger, weaker, sweet, sour musky etc. ... which agin makes sense in a they did not has wurdz to adequately describe what they was sensing kinda way. Now the really ineresting thang is non-mothers and the majority of fathers couldn't tellz nuthin :nono:
The point ... yer intuition is either a biological norm that you do not unerstanz or :woo: and you obliviously cannot tellz the two apart :moon:

That said I'm still 93.7% sure the real culprit is ... Du DuN DUNNNN ... the liver :yes:
The liver is intimately involved in the transport and regulation of thyroid hormones and like I've said afores I thinxz the liver is the key to most modern day problems :yes: In particular too muches in the way of carbs and glycogen stored around the liver etc. :angel:

And this: The point ... yer intuition is either a biological norm :duh:
Intuition is NOT :woo: I just likes to aggravate you with :woo: ey ffuts.
We ALL have intuition...a 6th sense (or 7th, teck :nickel: y :roll: )
It's just that most :rbrain: peoples hafta know WHY or HOW one can possibly KNOW a thing without so-called proof of knowing.
And peoples like me tend to doubt their intuition & look for :rbrain: esplanations when they (I) oughta trust themselves in the first place. :yes:
:lbrain::woo::rbrain:
That kid study is super cool. :righton: Before the age of 7 most of us are still intuitively untainted.
But all of this is what I talk about when I say I'm listening to my body. :wiggle:
So...if low carb beats hypothyroidism then high carb beats hyperthyroidism. :hi5: :ashamed: :hysterical:
Don't worry... just drawing oblivious conclusions to push yer :button:
The :rain: is moving in here today. With what I hope is our LAST cold front for the season. :yes:
April 15 is our average last frost & the hummingbirds are due back this week. :wub: I already has one feeder out for earlybirds. :yes:

Aunt Bonnie had a 'man' who helped her with gardening in later years. For realz, she called him 'my man'. :chuckle:
Anyway, she usta walk around & hover over her man & tell him exactly what to does. Exactly. :rofl:
As in exactly where to prune, & she'd mark the dirt with her cane to show him exactly where to plant. :woe:
It IS hard work. :faint: And even 20 years ago my body would always quit way before the 'want to' did. :sigh:
But it's awesome work. :bliss:
And the birds... :wubsigh: I has on brand new compression socks (I ordered 2 more pair) that have birds on wires on them. :chuckle: These: https://www.amazon.com/Nurse-Mates-Compression-Comfort-Support/dp/B0CPW57X27/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32YK00HV2750A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMS
They are fun. :happydance:
Using intuition is NOT mental laziness. :nonono: Quite the opposite for most of us. :sigh:
I can 'know' something but then I has to check & double check & doubt & check some more before I follow what I noes in the first place. :woe: I am practicing trusting myself. :righton:
I was just watching eclipse :farmninja: weather videos. :sigh: It's not looking great for us. :nonono:
But I will keep watching & am thankful we're not flying across the globe nor in need of a hotel.
We can go spur of the moment. (Well...kinda, as in we need to travel 90 minutes + to totality)
It is :spring: & we does gets a lot of :spring: showers & :cloud: s. The sky is more white than blue this morning.
It's doog planting weather. :yes: And 30 degrees cooler than yesterday. :gaah:
Oh I gotted another Nellie nip last night. :eek: Just a nip but :boyhowdy: it was a close one.
Tis my fault (obliviously) but J ack i was bopping about the kitchen, on all sides of the island, & talking non-stop as she sometimes does. I allowed her to distract me & in a split second. :scared: Funniest thing was how fast B got out of his recliner & ran into the kitchen when J yelled, "Mom cut her finger!". :rofl: :wub: I don't even has a bandaid on it today tho it did bleed enough to kinda freak him out yesterday. :rofl:
Oh but the worst part was that I cut my pinky. :huh: I was thinly slicing onions for mujadara & somehow my pinky was under the nakiri. And the onion hadn't even been cut all the way through cuz likely if it had the tip of my pinky would have been sliced off as well. :huh: I paid extra close attention to how I was holding the onion from then on.

At about 8:40 this morning I glanced out the window & saw something moving near the hummingbird feeder....
THOR! :happydance: :wub:
He made it! :luvcry:
:chuckle:
For realz, it made my day. You know, with our migrating hummingbirds the males return first & build the nest & then females show up a week or 2 later. :cheer: They come from Central America or Mexico & on the :spring: trip they are known to cross the Gulf of Mexico without stopping. :faint: Tho some have been spotted resting on whales or other sea creatures. They say they are in a hurry to get here & get their house in order in the :spring: but on the return trip they are more laid back & will often take the scenic route. :chuckle:
But dang it is :blowme: right now& we've had spits of hail & rain & I'm hoping the little guy is battened down somewhere safe.
He's prolly ready to turn around & go back. :rofl:

The worst thang about the veggie jails is there is no easy way to do anything with a nermal sized tool :gaah: Basiclly he has a garden pick with 3 prongs on one side and a spade thingy on the other side and that's it until the very end when you can kinda use a full sized rake to even thangs out.

I was totally messed up when I cutted my pinky. :eek: I noticed immediately after pain that as I held the onion I had my pinky sticking out like a proper tea drinker. :chuckle:
Fwiw, I've always held cups like that (even coffee) & pretty much always been mocked for it. :chuckle:
It's obliviously a past life &/or genetically programmed thingy cuz it happens without conscious thought.
As soon as I saw it I thought, "Wtf? Why are you doing that? :rofl: And I highly doubt I does it ever again.
So the blade hit the rogue pinky before it sliced all the way through the onion & the onion itself likely saved me.
The onion was on the pithy side. :chuckle: And I didn't even realize that it wasn't sliced through til after bandaging & then going to check the doof & knife for blood. :rofl:
It's a bit sore today. Much like a paper cut. :yes: Cuz she was freshly sharpened. :scared:
But the mujadara was :drool: :happydance: I had it for breakfast yesterday and today. :yes:
I could eat it every day I think. :huh:
How big are the veggie jails? :scratch: Cuz the shipping crates we just gotted (6 of them now) are 3'x3' & I made sure B left plenty of room in-between for maneuvering & access. He was gonna put them like 18" apart & I says :no:
I says, "You & I can squeeze in-between but a larger person could not. Plus, I needs room for picker baskets & tools & maybe even a wheelbarrow.: So he widened the gap to 3'. :righton:
So I figger Thor is packing his bags & wanting to go back to Mehico about now. :rofl:
It's been :blowme: and :shiver: Flirting with frost at night & low 50s but icy wind during the day.
Today we gots brilliant sunshine tho. :bliss:
:sigh: The eclipse. I dunno what I want to does yet. We will still see a significant amount of eclipsification right here & I'm thinking about just staying home. :dunno: Jacki says, "Let's just go to Paducah Mall & iffin it's cloudy or raining we can just be in the mall.". Not a bad backup plan except I wonders about the crowds. Paducah is barely in the totality with about 90 seconds. Deeper into the center there's a lot more totality.
Springtime is not a doog time for a total eclipse. :nonono: I'd like to file a complaint with the Universal Department of Solar/Lunar Eclipsing. The last total eclipse (when we DID travel to the very center) was in July when the skies are usually bluer than blue & contain little more than those small shapeshifting passing clouds. They calling for rain Sunday night & Monday morning.
The national peoples are saying conditions are looking bleak from Missouri down through Texas.
It IS forecast to be 77 on Monday tho. :bliss:

"I was totally messed up when I cutted my pinky. :eek: ..."
Wow who woulda thunk ... messed up you say :whistle:
Unless you have wacky mutant longer than all the other fingers pinkys yer cutting too low and too close to yer body :buttkick: Fer realz :yes: no matter how British yer pinky, even iffen you ferget to roll it with the other fingers you shouldn't be able to nick the pinky :nono: well atleast not without going through all of the others :whistle:
Srsly ... try holding half an onion for chopping ... with pinky fully :egg: tended and place Nellie on the board tangent to the onion at the angle you would nermally cut at. To cut yer pinky you'd need to be cutting too close to yer body ... stop that :thwack:
FYI: as you is slooowly learning to chop properly ... bewarez the :thumbs: 'cuz the new position makes :thumbs: cuts more likely ... just sayin :whistle:
"How big are the veggie jails? :scratch: "
Oh there are 4 of them and they are all different lengths ... but they are raised cement beds about 2 feetz high and the jail parts are I'm gonna sez 3 feetz wide and 3 feetz high. The shortest is a little under 10 feetz long and the longest about 20 feetz with the other two somewherez in between :wiggle:
The thang is they don't look particularly big BUT they hold a lot of green :carp: :horror:
The main problem is the jail doors are 3 feet squares and even iffen you open ALL of them up each cell is still only 3 feetz high so it's really hard to does anythin with a full sized tool :gaah: Anywho, it's purty easy to take care of one little section by hand but doing them ALL in one go ... :horror:

Yup I noes that feelin :therethere: It's gonna be close here too but dad is looking forward to it :yes: The thang starts around 10:15am and peaks at 11:15 and goes on until 12:15pm so basically 2h after which it's time for Lunch :wiggle: Thang is it's going to be nuf AND it's just one of them thangs to keep :check: ing on 'cuz it's inerestin AND no doubt can be viewed online in real time.

Kale.... :spitcoffee:
Solly. :therethere:
And Sea (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) makes it a hollyday! :happydance:
K, I tried the onion holding spearmint & you are 'right'. :faint: My pinky is nowhere near the knife blade.
And though I does have very long piano playing fingers it would hafta be twice (or more!) as long as it is. A true alien finger. :etphonehome:
So I has no idea HOW I did it cuz it happened so very quickly. All I noes is that I did allow myself to be distracted. :yes:
Sometimes Jacki "talks like a radio", as Zen Aunt usta say about her father, Buddy. :chuckle: And she was flitting about...in 'my' space. And I try real hard to be respectful & not hurt her feelings tho I have told her before, 'You are welcome to stand here & watch but stand right THERE (other side of the island) and watch quietly'. :chuckle:
Most likely I turned towards her. :dunno: I does know that the onion was only cut 85% through when I SUDDENLY stopped. :huh:
We have 97.96% coverage so it'll still be quite cool. IF it's not overcast or raining, that is. :chuckle:
So since we saw the total eclipse in 2017 I think we will stay home this time. Maybe hang with Mom & ZA who both live less than 3 miles away. :wiggle: B will likely work tho they can go outside at any time. :yes: His boj is quite flexible & unrestricted in comparison to all the other factries he's worked at. :righton:
Our eclipsing goes from 12:41 to 3:17 with max at 2.
I am certain I will feel it whether I see it or not. :pie:
And I'm certain you will find the right window, balcony or rooftop in which to shoot what is shootable. :chuckle: :hi5:
It's Ruling Day! :wiggle: Ruler Foods. In Martin, about 30 minutes north. We stop in Dresden first at Tommy's non-Asian salvage store cuz he's been getting lots of canned cat doof recently & I been stocking up. I also get the big cans of whole tomatoes (N.O.P, thankstoyou) for 69 cents a can. :yes: And sometimes coffee for B & more rarely, speshul teas. It's :exciting: when I does find doog teas, like the rose white tea I once gotted.
Ruler Foods is Kroger products at cheaper (much) prices for bagging your own. :chuckle: They have most all the basics, but not everything so I still goes to Kroger for ffuts like kale, parsley, cilantro or sale items but our Kroger is notorious for being out of sale items. :gaah: I went the other day for 99 cent pineapples...limit 5. And gotted there & they had NO pineapples. :sigh:
I axed the produce guy who said they hadn't been able to get them but they'd be in tomorrow. I says, "When the sale ends. How convenient.". :fist: The bigger Krogers in Murray & Jackson do not do that but our widdle Paris store does. Maybe I oughta contact corporate & ask if that's company policy? :scratch:
Anyway... I digress. I'ze a grocery geek :chuckle: And a frugal shopper. :matt:
Jacki is a doog helper now, too. :wig: :gle: And most often we gets lunch, usually at our favorite Chinese restaurant in Martin. :yes:
Or sometimes Mexican. So it becomes a 'day'. :yes:
:elfparty:
Happy Friday! :gstars:

A Pleiadian Perspective on the Total Solar Eclipse (https://youtu.be/dX9Qgf3TkpE?si=Wc4QptOwGcvEzM9_) <= youtube video
Oh cool, thanks you. :righton: :happydance:
I've recently been watching Susan Lynn psychic medium and also Linda G the Comanche. They both are quite 'real' people. The latter reminds me of Jenal quite a bit. :yes: Anyway, I been thinking :enorah: needs to does this so maybe she 'heard' me. :chuckle:
I will check it out in a few. :yes:
So :yes: I am quite speshul :yes: and I really don't understand what you mean by 'too close to your body' as I cut on a board on the island :huh: And I am not :wheee: I've always felt more Amazonian. :chuckle: Not really, but 5'7" & it seemed all my girlfriends back when were 5' to 5'3" & I always towered over, especially when we wore the stoopy super high heels. :chuckle:
There is absolutely positively never ever a danger of me overplanning anything. :hysterical:
I am much more a fly by the seat of my pants kinda :witchfly:
We gots :rain: possibly severe tomorrow night & into Monday morning so it's a stay home day unless some strange happening occurs & the sky is clear & blue and then I has no problem hopping in Lola & heading NW.
Funny, one viewing area tip I saw somewhere said to take Rt 22 (a N/S highway 2 miles from me) North until it becomes a gravel road & then keep going til you hit the KY/TN state line. It said you might need a compass or GPS cuz there may not be a state sign. :chuckle: What they don't know is that there is likely no cell signal & therefore no internet up there either. :hysterical:
For realz it's like :deliverance: up there. We got lost on the way home from Murray one time & had to just keep driving til we could pick up GPS signal again. :rofl: There are houses about every 5+ miles. And yes, we know the way home from Murray but there was an accident that day and a detour that sent us off into no man's land with no other detour signs to get us back to civilization.

The average American woman is 5'3 1/2" and weighs 170.8 pounds.
I am over average and under average. Never average. :hysterical: :drama:
5'7" and 158. I don't particularly care for the weight number but I also know it's not good for older women to be too thin.
Most of my life I weighed around 130.
The average man is 5'9" and weighs 197. :faint:
My man is 6'4" and weighs 180. :rofl:
:wig: :gle:

:roll:
Yer too fixated on numberz and averages :buttkick:
Put yer hands down {both of them} on yer private island :hula: ... wrists straight {no left/right movement ... up/down as needed} and fingers spread ... back straight. When you put yer body right up touching the island {yes too close :yes: } and bring yer open hands to the edge yer :thumbs: and index fingerz will make a triangle, though not quite touching :nono:
NOW ... while keeping yer wrists 'straight' move both arms forward. That "triangle" will break as you move them forward. Now grab Nellie in a classic claw pinch grip or whatever you use BUT spine down ... and find the point/distance where Nellie would naturally touch both your index finger and :thumbs: at the same time. This distance is about the correct distance for YOUSE with Nellie cutting on yer island :yes:
That said you don't want yer fingers spread out while cutting :nonono: so does a proper finger curl like you was cutting shrubbery like an onion so iffen Nellie was cutting she'd rub against nuckles or the back of yer :thumbs: Now step back to where you is comfortable and add a little twist to yer body ... most people will stand on their left foot while holding their right shoulder {the arm with the knife} back an inch or two and bend forward just enough to be comfortable but no hunching :naughty:
The POINT is not to hold only this angle :nono: but git used to it so that when using Nellie yer fingerz will naturally try to avoid the cutty part thus avoid accidental cleavage :boobs: when you is distracted :moon:
Fer realz the thickness of what you is cutting as well as the :flex: needed will subtly change the proper angle as will chopping or slicing BUT the distance is about the same AND you should NOT be able to cut Mrs.Pinky :woe:
Currently :rimshot: I'm out filming the :sun: :happydance: ... I cannot decide iffen I want a 1 frame per second timelapse for the whole 2 hours ... just regular video or 10 minutes of RAW video of the climax :hmm2:
I'm kinda leaning towards the timelapse 'cuz I'm nowhere near the line of totality and has no chance of seeing any comets AND there's only the one sunspot right now.
Anywho, it seems the s50 has no problem with a looong regular video {RAW video tops out at 10 minutes} ... and it looks like we'll has doog though not ideal conditions ... so stray :cloud: potential :fist: ... but right now just some annoying haze :gaah:
I also have the streaming thang werken while watching so during the 2 hour event we can hang inside and eat with occasional forays outside with the :sun: spectacles to watch the :sun: spectacle :rimshot:
Bummer about yer :rain: :therethere: Srsly though git ready to :run: outside 'cuz the shadow travel creates a mooving low that vacuums away :cloud: s often just at the right moment :norway:
In other newses ... I need to make sure I can pick up some sea bass or halibut tomorrow otherwise it's the weekend :bliss:
Though by next weekend 80's :horror:

The :sun: just peeked out here at 7:40AM. :happydance: The birds are singing, the cats are already acting strange...
Shaggy (16) somehow ended up trapped & crying beside the hot water heater. :huh: A small chest freezer blocks the doorway (the hot water heater is in a 'closet' with the 'door' removed cuz the reset button on the old one always tripped.
Anyway, he lays on a pillow on the chest freezer cuz it's beside a window & I keep a small chair in there for him to get up on.
Obliviously, he fell. But I only heard the hollering for help to get out. :chuckle: He's fine. The old cats are so incredibly frail, yet strong. Quite a paradox.
Sasha, the baby of the bunch, is absolutely bonkers over canned doof & she can hear the pop of the lid from seemingly miles away. :chuckle: Seriously, I try so hard to does it quietly sometimes & she comes flying in from the ethers. :rofl:
But this morning when the can was being doled out she was :missing: :huh: She's also the roof dweller (we have a step ladder now beside the veranda & she can hop from that roof to the top of the ladder then to the opened paint can shelf & onto the deck rail. :hysterical:
Anyway...after much hunting I found her buried back in the corner of our walk-in closet. She came out & ate a bit but then right back to the closet she went. :chuckle: She's fine, health-wise.
I feel much like I've felt when walking down a long hallway on a cruise ship. :luna:
We had storms & no :electrocute: for a couple hours last night. Maybe that's it for now tho they are saying something about a 'hydrologic event' Sunday thru Thurzdaze. :huh:
Your video reminds me of how :cloud: pass in front of the :fullmoon:
I expect a similar thingy with the :sun: today tho I didn't realize there was a vacuuming effect. :righton:
So I followed your positioning directions & I am (usually) in 'proper' position tho recently I am practicing standing on BOTH legs. I typically have been standing on my right leg & I have a noticeable weaker left leg. We have only maybe 20 pounds on the weight bench thingy & I can quite easily do the leg lifts with both legs. Can does it with a bit of difficulty with the right. But I absolutely cannot lift the weights with my left leg. That really stunned me so now I am diligently working on using the left leg more in everyday activities, plus working it through exercise. :shera:
Anyway...back to the Great Pinky Incident... I noes it was stuck out tho the rest of the fingers were curled around the onion. :check: And I noes I totally dorked out in some fashion but the 'how' will prolly forever be unknown. :pie:
Happy Eclipsical Vacay Day!!!!!

🌑🌞 🔭 :happydance:
It's about an hour until Game Time and no :cloud: s spotted so far :yesss:
Of course we only git 45% max :sigh: but still it's a nuf event and I gots Lucian packed with s50, battery backups and curried sea bass (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/rockernana.gif)
I was hoping Pan was doesing ok too :sigh:
Also ... :sunhug: ... :tapfoot:
Yup weird animule behaviors are :egg: pected ... though I'm not completely sure why :scratch: Eklipsikillization isn't really sumthin that should cause much of anythin 'cept when the shadow shows up and it's not like a :quake: or anythin :dunno:
"Your video reminds me of how :cloud: pass in front of the :fullmoon: "
Yup quite similar :yes: only you wouldn't seez these clouds unless they passed in front of the :sun: on a :fullmoon: these kinda :cloud: s make the whole sky brighter :fist:
K time to rock :headbang: doog lucks :thumbs:

Perfect! :hi5:
It was awesome. Cloudlos. And spectacular. It's still coming out the other side.
Mom had told me she read to keep your pets inside & close all the curtains. :chuckle:
Snoop sat on the step & took it in with me. Sasha was there, too. The seniors were in bed. Nothing unusual abouts that. :chuckle:
And the birds were bopping about the yard & at the feeders pretty much just like they always do.
I did notice that there were no buzzards soaring about as they usually do. :dunno:
And the temperature dropped quite a bit.
I am mostly amazed at how much light & heat still makes it way to us even when it is partially, then mostly obscured. :faint:
It gotted twilighty here. :sparkle:
Very cool indeed! :righton:

Nuf was had by ALL :bliss:
One neighbour came home for lunch and saw us so I gave him some :sun: viewing glasses BUT eberyone was more inerested in the sFiddy :wubsigh: It was a tad breezy :windy: but I didn't want to moob the thang after I started recording so over 2 hours there's a :wheee: jiggle :boobs:
Dad was disappointed that there really wasn't any shadow crescents but that really only happens above the fiddy percent mark and really closer to 75% or better for the doog ones also there was zero chance of seeing shadow banding, diamond ring effects or solar prominences :sigh:
Inerestinly the Seestar s50 wasn't quite made for solar eklipsicalz :drama: the tracking feature started to drift on account of the :fullmoon: / shadow :chuckle: also after 2 hours 'cuz the solar to me distance changed the focus slooowly went fuzzy. The only way to tell is by watching the sunspot though so t'weren't the end of the whurled or nuthin :end:
BUT like I sed nuf was had by all :beerme:
We also began eating curried (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) shortly after the eklipsical stated :liplick: and viewed the thang mostly on my tablet while Dad's computer played NASA's livestream :matt: Surprisingly kale curry not terrible :nono:
It was doog :cheer:
What wasn't doog was being tricked into durt toilage :horror:
I ended up swabbing out the BIG veggie jail which took even longer than nermal on account it was already mostly planted :gaah: Oh and Dad's :tomatoe: s really are tasty :thumbs: and yeah atleast 2 plants are at the pick 'n eat stages. Dinger was :egg: s and :tomato: PLUS (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) curry :drool:
Anywho I soooo tard :faint:

Nuf is all that matters. :happydance:
Durt toilage. :hysterical:
I went with Mom yesterday to buy all the flowers she wants for her big pots. :righton: She so funny in that she always puts the exact same things in the exact same pots. :chuckle: The nursery we went to didn't have the exact color of petunia she wanted so after we gotted home she & J went in another direction to WalMArt, Lowes, then finally another nursery to find her petunias. :rofl:
We gots this hydrological event thingy going on all week. :umbrella: Tho I don't see the :logic: to the hydro. :chuckle:
More of a Crawdad Express than a Pineapple Express cuz it's coming up from the Gulf of Mehico. Anyway...today it's 60s & misty. :uhoh: Like 100% humidity without rain. :rofl:
Mom has more company coming in Friday. My Georgia cousins. So I been helping her once again. :wiggle:
Oh about the eclipse....
I DID see some unusualness when it was (98%) total & on both sides of totality. :yes:
As I laid back on the veranda steps (with a Dory pillow under my head thanks to Jacki :wub: ), glasses on, zenning out to the Light (it still amazes me at how much light comes through even when the :sun: is covered) the sliver of sunlight was superceded by COLOR!
What I saw looked just like a geode. It was green in the center with an outer ring of blue & then more outerer a rusty red. :yes:
And later the colors changed to where there was light blue in the center, then the green & indigo & same rusty red color on the outer rim. And as I stared at the geode :blob: the sliver of :sun: would MOVE! :eek: It moved counter-clockwise but then each time it began to move my eyes would follow it & it would jump right back behind the geode. :huh:
But I also could see the 'energy'...the same type of barely visible rays you can see when softly focusing on a bright day...except they were coming from the sun & seemingly swirling back in a spiral of sorts. Hard to esplain but it was super cool.
But the solar geode was only visible for maybe 10 minutes... when the :sun: was 90%+ eclipsed.
I still don't quite understand peoples saying animals freaked out cuz there are many times when it is so overcast that it's almost dark in the middle of the day. :yes:
But I saw :twister: in New Orleans area already this morning & it's all moving up this afternoon.

K so I took the HIGH :hippy: Def 2h+ recording and compressed it down to just under 3mb :wiggle:
I was trying for a 15 second video but it's still 4 minutes :woe: anywho just grab the progress bar and zip it back and forth :run:
siguie brand solar eklipsical lite (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/april8eklipse.mp4)
This is what we sawed over the two hours only biggerer and with doog doof :oz:
"Durt toilage. :hysterical: "
It took freaken hours to does and I'm still sore :buttkick: and not just emotionally :drama:
Petuniaz :roll: well I guess they are a classic potted flower no fuss easy to grow and basically always bloomin :thumbs:
"We gots this hydrological event thingy going on all week. :umbrella: Tho I don't see the :logic: to the hydro. :chuckle: "
Well for us a hydrological event is a atmospherical river but for youses I'm purty sure that's just the tech :nickel: term for gully washer :wiggle:
Also yup hot and steamy from the gulf ... :horror:

Yeah so about that :whistle: them glasses really don't let colours through :therethere: so purty much all :woo:
Though some inerestin effects come from the banding patterns :yes:
98% ... soooo close :no: ya shoulda :run: for totality :wubsigh:

Wow! Your :sun: got flat on one side. :hysterical: :chuckle:
The video is awesome tho. Almost just like NASA. :righton:
And tho yer eclipsing was partially 'right' :rimshot: I understood what I saw when the :sun: sliver: was seemingly moving away. :yes: When the :moon: came through the other side even in your video it appeared that the :sun: was rotating, tho I surely noes it didn't. :p
And 98% was fine. We did the totality in 17 & it was awesome. :yes: We carried a picnic & hung out in a park all day.
But this year the weather was unpredictable & everybody is 7 years older (the older one gets the more that matters :chuckle: Think durt toil soreness :rofl: ) . Mom was still worn out from the last company & really not into it & Jacki was pretty unfazed so it woulda been just me. None of my family ever understood why I thunk it a big deal to start with. :woe:
Even B thunk it not worth a day off work. :woe:
Tho his plant manager was in my boat cuz he gathered everyone together in the morning & talked about the significance & even had eclipse glasses for everyone & told them all it was perfectly fine to go outside as often as they wanted to see it. :clap:
And :no: This is more than a typical gully washer. :eek:
I don't know how much :rain: we've had since Monday (3-4") but in the past 90 minutes we've gotten about 4". I started to walk out to the rain gauge but decided it can wait. I just put it out yesterday morning & knew I left .7" from yesterday. It's a 7" rain gauge & appears from a distance to be at about the 5" mark. :faint: One of these days I'm agonna mark the rain gauge in RED so I can better estimate from the porch.
Thank :dog: I live on a 'mountain'. :rofl: But boy oh boy I can't get out to Lola without waders. :woe:
If they haven't already there will be an areal flood warning soon. :yes:
We have a high wind advisory for this afternoon so guess what that's gonna do to the :treehug: in saturated ground?
:yes: :faint:
Hopefully after the :blowme: passes through it will be over. For the meantime. :chuckle:
80s & :sun: ny this weekend! :bliss2:
I'm apposta mow Mom's yard today before company arrives. :nonono: Ain't gonna happens. :nonono:
Meanwhile... Singing in the rain, just singing in the rain...
My old yellow cats love it. :wub: They're both basically deaf so they've been on the metal roofed veranda just soaking up the ions.

:pey: :sig:
Does you know of any decent jasmine tea brands that are not super expensive?
I usually get Numi. But they are out! :bawling: It's very doog for only about $20 a pound.
I've bought too many :carp: y, artificial-tasting green teas in years past but now I've drank nothing but Numi for 4-5 years.

"Wow! Your :sun: got flat on one side. :hysterical: :chuckle: "
:ashamed: yeah the s50 comes with two types of tracking neither of which was designed for a solar eklipsical :gaah: The problem is the "solar mode" was made for one object { :secret: the :sun: } and made so it took up the whole frame. The :moon: even in sneaky shadow mode is nigh the size of the :sun: and throws the tracking off. At the halfway point I put it in "object" tracking mode but that just makes the :sun: recenter every few minutes BUT atleast it keeps eberythang in frame :wiggle:
"The video is awesome tho. Almost just like NASA. :righton: "
:hmm2: my mock sense is tingling (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/spiderman.gif) ... BUT yes it is AWESOME :happydance: I just thunked it cool to be able to track the eklipsical myself :happydance: AND of course view sunspots whenever AND possibly capture a solar flare as we moove into the solar max :sunhug:
Oh and it wont mean muches without pics BUT in "Scenery Mode" it has a :superman: long range zoom :faint:
"And 98% was fine. We did the totality in 17 & it was awesome. :yes: We carried a picnic & hung out in a park all day."
I did totality in 91 AND you still shoulda done the trip weather or not :buttkick:
Yeah yeah I git it some peoplez just don't care and that's their loss :drama: Like early this morning there was a Saturn Mars conjunction junction :choir: ... I woulda stayed up and imaged it 'cept it's basically a red dot touching a white dot just afores sunrise so I decided I could pass :whistle:
That and there was coastal overcast when I gotted up this morning :gaah: Thursdazed :yawn: :coffee:
"And :no: This is more than a typical gully washer. :eek: "
Cool :share: you really need a haptic rain sensor :yes: The Weatherflow Tempest is surprisingly AWESOME :happydance: and you git the rate of :rain: fall as well as the quantity and graph of both over time :thumbs: The only issue is the occasional small boid dancing on the the thang but that's only registers as "trace" ... fer realz :yes:
Other than that why don't you pickup some Wyze cams (https://www.wyze.com/products/) ... they is cheap and werk doog with Alexa :yes: and the v3 cam is on sale for less than $20 :wiggle: Back when I was figuring out the whole solar power thang I used a series of cameras and smate plugs to monitor thangs from werk AND shut down ffuts iffen thangs went wrong ... which they didn't :nono: ... mostly ... :whistle:
The point is you can put a cam on the water level thang :yes: Even iffen there are no plugs you can use a solar panel or outdoor cam that you recharge ebery 6 months or so :angel:
I has full line of Wyze products :yes: some are doog some are :carp: BUT they is cheap, werk with Alexa/Google and are easy to setup :oz:
"Does you know of any decent jasmine tea brands that are not super expensive?"
Um "yes" BUT it's really not just the "brand" you need to look at there are also the tea leaf grades AND the processing methods as well as source. Like silver leaf pearls in a speeshul non-paper sachet is quite different than OP or BOP grade open leaf tea. That said it looks like yer Numi Jasmine tea is $6 for 18 bags {~30 cents each} at amazon (https://amzn.to/3VWc7BL) <= Amazon Link.
Since each tea baglet is only 2g and prolly BOP with dust Numi Organic Jasmine Green Tea, 16 Ounce Pouch (https://amzn.to/3TSW6db) <= Amazon Link for $30 would be less than half the price overall :dunno:
K that said I likes Harney & Sons (https://amzn.to/4cV1t4s) and I has there Jasmine Dragon Pearls Tea as well as the Jasmine Loose Tea by the Pound. I mostly drink the loose tea and it's doog quality but not the bestest :nono: nor the cheapest :nono: AND it looks comparably priced with the Numi so :idunno:
That said I also has :sunflower: Jasmine tea which is the cheap :carp: that most chinese restaurants serve ... Do NOT buy :nonono: especially at $16 a pound :woe: it's ~$6 in chinese markets.
Anywho as far as "cheap" and available to you ... yer kinda on yer own :therethere: Tech :nickel: ly tea prices have fallen sharply BUT shipping prices have :bump: ed up ... in KalipHorniyaz gas prices are $6 :faint: ... wait for it ... :muaha: :yesss:
Solly there are a lot of very doog Jasmine teas ... but generally not cheap or atleast not cheap and doog :therethere:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist: and it's gonna :rain: this weekend :pullhair: :gaah:

:hello: The Numi loose leaf 1 pound is what I always get & it is the one deemed unavailable. :yes:
I drink way too much for tea bags. :yucky: I does buy bagged tea iffin I'm gonna be away from home but I also has pearls in my purse that I can drop into hot water when out for the day. :wiggle:
:b: says for me to just get the 1 pound Numi pearls & I may but I just get hung up on the image of Chinese children being forced to roll tea leaves all day. :ashamed: Yeah....you noes me. :blush:
The reason I axed is becuz before I found Numi, which is pretty consistent & better than the :carp: , I had LOTS of super :carp: y teas. I personally really likes Rishi but it's $82 for 8.8 ounce. :faint: I've bought the sachets for croozing. At $1 a cup it's affordable for vacay. :yes: But I can't justify the cost for daily drinkage. :nonono:
:thanks: I will get the 1 pound Harney & Sons cuz I noes you are even snobbier than I when it comes to taste. :hi5: :bsl:
I even looked at dried jasmine flowers to add to a doog green tea but as I suspected, most of the reviewers said it tasted like dried grass or straw. :chuckle: I figured jasmine flowers, like honeysuckle, would not retain fragrance after dried cuz I noes even a 2-day old flower has no scent any more. :woe:
Mom's company arrives today. :elfparty: Hopefully this is the last company for awhile. :chuckle:
It's nice to see family, but it sure is a lot of work.
So we gotted 5.2" total and it's already soaked in but boy oh boy the grass has grown :scared:
Sunny & 70 today but then sunny & 80 thru Monday so it is game on outside! :happydance: :bliss2:
I had a speshul visitor yesterday morning after the deluge slowed to a light shower. :yes: :wub:
I has sat down at the table to look at Amazon teas once again when SUDDENLY at the door of the veranda (which was open, including the screen :eek: ) hovered THOR! :luvcry: He literally came under the roof & right to the door frame to say :hi:
I practically shrieked & jumped up saying, "THOR!!! I'm so happy to see you but don't come inside!!!" and I stepped out.
He went to the branch of a neighboring crepe myrtle & just sat there looking at me.
Then, over the next 30 minutes he visited the petchoa & dragon wing begonia flowers on the veranda, the bachelor buttons &
dianthus blooming in the yard, and the new feeder just to tell me he likes it. :righton:
So I had brief sightings about a week ago...twice...but I think they were just passerbys. :yes:
This, was most definitely Thor. :yes:
Studies have shown that hummingbirds can remember migration routes and every flower they've ever visited. They can also figure out how long to wait between visits so the flowers have time to generate more nectar. They can even recognize humans!Jul
https://www.adirondackcouncil.org/page/blog-139/news/10-facts-about-hummingbirds--and-other-interesting-tidbits-1101.html#:~:text=Studies%20have%20shown%20that%20hummingbirds,They%20can%20even%20recognize%20humans!
This is the new feeder which is finally the most practical I've yet seen. The majority are too big, have metal bottoms that rust, & are notoriously hard to keep clean. I picked this up at TRactor Supply when we were there for a trailer jack but I see Amazon has a 4-pack for less.

Anyway... busy day!
It's Friday! :elfparty:
Happy paparazza-ing or bikini watching with your new spy camera. :chuckle: :rstars:

STOP Srsly :woe: I neber sed Harney & Sons was doog :nono: just doog enough for the style I likes which is NOT like Numi :nono:
Iffen you goes through that much tea that quick just purchase the loose tea from the Numi website (https://numitea.com/products/jasmine-green-loose?_fid=6d742afaa&_pos=8&_ss=c) Iffen you buy 2 bags it's FREE shipping otherwise $9 and iffen you goes through 1 pound in 3 months then you should git 2 pounds with a 6 month subscription to git free shipping AND 10% off :yes:
You order ffuts too willy and nilly :woe:
I likes BaoZhong aka Pouchong style teas which are NOT green teas but closer to an oolong so Harney & Sons Jasmine tea is a Pouchong style. Numi, Rishi and Mighty Leaf are all non-fermented {aka non-oxidized} green tea style. Pouchong leaves are also larger vs the more tender green tea leaves and have more floral notes than green teas grassy one note blunder taste ... which is why I thinxz the Harney & Sons makes a better Jasmine tea overall BUT not the bestest just purty doog and worth the price ... in my opinion YMMV :whistle:
"I even looked at dried jasmine flowers to add to a doog green tea but as I suspected, most of the reviewers said it tasted like dried grass or straw. :chuckle: I figured jasmine flowers, like honeysuckle, would not retain fragrance after dried cuz I noes even a 2-day old flower has no scent any more. :woe: "
:chuckle: well of the 200 or so different jasmine species purty muches only two are used for tea and they both make very different end products :yes: That said no dried flowers :buttkick: it's also an art mixing the jasmine flowers with the only ... mostly ... dried tea and preventing mold from growing :mushrooms:
That said one common Jasminum officinale flower is MORE than you need for one cup of tea :yes: so it's actually better to pick a jasmine :flower: and brew a pot of green tea then a minute or two after the tea is steeping drop the :flower: in :yes: OR make the tea and pour it into a pitcher to cool and add the flower :oz:
FYI: I likes jasmine tea cold :shiver: with a little citrus :wiggle: OR very HOT :yes: tepid is :unthumbs:
I suspect you need to widen your tea whurled :earth: :therethere: not all teas come from china :nono: and to be fair the better tasting and lots safer ones do not :nono: Also iffen you is worried about chinese slave childe labour why not try some Japanese Jasmine Teas 'cuz they are some of the bestest :yes: But for less monies there are some really doog Indian teas :thumbs:
In particular I likes the Rooibos teas like the classic spicy orange tea from Good Earth :thumbs: Oh and back to Japan there are some :egg: cellent matcha's :yes: While I'm not a matcha fan :nono: it makes :egg: cellent ice cream :drool: Also since you drink the :carp: faux milks why not try yer had at Chai? :dunno:
THOR :wubsigh: sez :hi:
"This is the new feeder which is finally the most practical I've yet seen"
:woe: No but iffen that's what you want it's trivial to make :yes:
Dad has a single hanging feeder and two sets of these ... Handheld Hummingbird Feeders (Set of 4) (https://amzn.to/3Jmh0MQ) <= Amazon Link aka 8 total "hand feeders" :yes:
The window hangy thang does werk BUT he don't use them :nono: He just puts them down around the garden usually on rocks or places that wont have ant problems :nono: Anywho humming boids can be territorial about feederz but iffen you move the thangs around not so muches AND nestled in with the garden the boidz flit back and forth between the flowers and the feeders :yes:
Oh and he also has a big syringe thang so he just goes out ebery few days and (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) more juice PLUS he really has gotten humming boidz to eat while he's carrying them thangs :wiggle:
Oh back to teas ... what kind of cups do you use? :scratch:
Here's the thang ... I research a lot of ffuts 'cuz I is very particular :drama: one of the thangs I mentioned long agoes was reusable/recyclable cups. I likes cold thangs to stay cold :shiver: and HOT thangs to stay :heat: and I don't like being constrained by my peltier cooling devices or coffee cup warmerz :fist: So now I use Tahoe Trails Stainless Steel 12oz Vacuum Insulated Can (https://amzn.to/4aU9swC) <= Amazon Link ... for both HOT and Cold ffuts :yes:
Oh and this ... The Draft Top Original Beer Can Opener (https://amzn.to/3xA07vE) <= Amazon Link to pop the tops off of soda cans :wiggle:
Ya seez even though I make my own soda I still go through 2 or 3 cans of Costco soda water a week. So after a can is empty I remove the top. The aluminum can now fits in the steel insulator so I can make tea and keep it hot PLUS steeping at a high temp iffen that's what I want. For soda the insulator keep it cold same for siguie brand iced tea :wiggle:
Anywho the point was ... some thangs are best steeped at a certain temperature ... and some thangs are best tasted at a certain temperature. This is what I use when not using one of my :electrocute: thermal reglators ... which I also has ... I is very particular amemberz :whistle:

I likes ooolong. (ooo :rofl: ) And I likes sencha, and matcha. And Japanesey teas are usually more spensive. :chuckle:
I also likes chai, but pretty much only in the wintertime. I also likes white tea, and I can drinks black tea but it's not my favorite. :nonono: The only plant milk we use is almond...unsweetened...and you may as well add tinted water to chai cuz it's really pretty uselos. No fat = no flavor. :chuckle:
But what I crave... is jasmine. :wubsigh: Iffin I can't has jasmine then a sprig of lavender in a green tea will pacify, but when I finds my jasmine again it's pure :love:
On the crooze ship they had this passionfruit/jasmine :carp: by Lipton that was one of the :yucky: est teas I ever tried.
Tho the generic green teas Mom gets at Walmarts & the likes are pretty bad, too. :sigh: She just thinks I'm a snob. :chuckle:
Anyway...the Numi is $21 from Amazon & I gets it every 2 months. I am not willy...nor nilly... :nonono:
This last bag must have been crumblier or somehin cuz it gotted gone faster than usual tho I am not truly out. :yes:
I had already looked at the Harney, as well as fiddy or more others :crazyeyes: ....read lots of reviews.
I just did not want 'fake' jasmine flavor :yucky:
Funny...the first jasmine tea I ever had was from a box I gotted at TJ Maxx. I don't even know the brand. And it was tea bags.
Somethin pulled me in & then I evolved from there. :yes:
As for cups... we had an assortment of fun mugs that we pick up whenever we're out. :yes: And when they get chipped they become pothos pots. :chuckle: Someday we may sell the cute pothos pots.
But my favorites are glass & tall. I doesn't like short squatty mugs. Or basic mugs. The tall ones with the curved rim. :yes:
And for travel I use a ceramic travel mug. Never metal. :yucky: And definitely never plastic. :no:
I won't even use a plastic lid. But I can drink it any temperature. :yes:
These are my travel mugs upon which I use a ceramic lid from another smaller, stoopy ceramic travel mug.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P4C5P6D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1
IF...we are gone long & I wants hot tea for return trip I steep it then pour it into a stainless travel mug that stays hot for days (long time for sure) & then pour that into my ceramic mug when I wants it. :yes: :drama:
Or I carry pearls & gets a paper cup full of hot water at a gas station. :chuckle:
Anyway...amember I come form the land of Sweet Tea. :hail: :crazy: K...prepare yourself for what I am about to sez...
They (we/I did many years ago) take 4-6 Lipton tea bags & put them in a small stewer (saucepan). Cover with water & bring to a boil! Boil til you remember it's on the stove & then turn it off. Pour the tea into a half gallon pitcher whilst leaving the bags in the pot to boil again. :yes: :hysterical: Pour that tea into the pitcher & add 1 cup...yes 1 cup...of sugar & fill to top of pitcher with water.
It's quite syrupy. And they serve it at McDonald's here. It's prolly tied with Mountain Dew as the most popular beverage in the south..
Thankfully, Mom had cut way back on the sugar when I was growing up & then in the 70s she cut the sugar completely out & we drank unsweet tea. :yes: When B & I gotted married & he came down here he fell in love :wubsigh: with the sweet tea both grandmothers still made daily. :no: It is the primary beverage with every meal. :yes: No water...just sweet tea. :faint:
And tho the copper/stainless coozies look cool we don't drink sodas at all. Water. And tea. And B is back to 1 cup of coffee a day. :yes: He drinks mint tea elsewise. Jacki likes Egyptian Licorice & sometimes chai.

QuoteTo make a scented tea, moist and pliable tea leaves are exposed to fresh flowers, usually by layering. The moisture in the leaves serves as a carrier, enabling the leaves to absorb and retain both the aroma and flavor of the flowers.

:woe: :woe: :woe:
:spitcoffee:
First... I gots 2 male hummingbirds staying real close to the feeders & saying, "Mine!" "No, MINE!" :rofl:
I'll put another feeder in another location in a bit & see what happens. :wiggle: They gots millions (literally) of red buckeye flowers in the woods behind the house right now so nobody really needs the doof. :chuckle:
But when the girls arrive... :gayfight:
Second... the flower tea peectures are real purtiful but if you recall I drink (& eat!) LOTS of flowers in season.
I use my own rose, lavender, hibiscus, honeysuckle, thyme, lemon balm, peepermint, & more I can't immediately recall.
Amembers when you relentlessly mocked my "potpourri teas"? :rofl:
And I noes how jasmine tea is made. :yes: You pointed me that direction many years ago. :pie:
And the reason Numi is so doog is that their tea is mated with flower buds 5x. Many of the others are only 3x, if that.
And it's sometimes hard to find info on their process when looking at unknown teas. I just know to avoid any that say "natural flavor" or anything like that.
I does need a doog quality light green tea, or maybe even a white, with which to 'mate' my flowers tho. :yes:
Cuz as much as I enjoy a floral tea I likes the added little :buttkick: from the actual tea leaves.
I use a porcelain strainer on top of the mug of the day. Today it's Disney princesses & it says "I woke up like this" inside the rim. :asilly: But I also has a stainless strainer as well as another porcelain that came with a now-borked cup. And several tea baller thingies that are worthlos except for maybe for a guest. :chuckle:
And I add half as much new tea to the old after the first cup. The spent leaves go on the top of certain houseplants (like my jasmines :wub: ). They seen to like it cuz they bloom almost non-stop. All winter long. :wubsigh:
And no, I doesn't drink them cuz I am not certain what type of jasmine they is...they had no ID other than "jasmine" ...and the internets says some varieties are toxic. :eek:
I do float them in water on the table tho. :wub:
As for BP...yes, I has hibiscus teas... I even has beetroot teas. And I fed them to B back when. But not now. :scared:
Yesterday after having weed-eated the entire farm (more than he's done is prolly 5 years) I had him check his BP.
105/69. :rofl: His pulse was 70 tho. :faint: No, not bad but we laughed about how 'high' his heart rate had gotten.
I bought Mom hibiscus tea (and lemon zinger) & tho she said it was pretty doog she only ever drank it once. :sigh:
Anyway... Nature calls!!! :bliss: 80s all week. :bliss2:

Dad generally only has two or three during the wynter but now there are atleast 5 or 6 and 2 or 3 are always fighting over the main feeder :gayfight: The mini hand feeders are just an easy thang to put in his garden to keep eberythang happy :wiggle: and ebery now and agin they'll come right up and drink from his hand :wubsigh:

:hello: That was the point :roll: you live in the diabetus belt along with :heart: cardiovascular and peripheral neuropathy there's a plethora of peoplez who 'may' be inerested in yer potpourri teases :yes: Though it would prolly help iffen you actually nude what does what and why :whistle:
Why would you purchase hibiscus tea for durtmomma iffen you growd yer own? :scratch: Fyi sabdariffa is the bestes for bp :oz:
Anywho make 2 or more slightly stronger teas one only with hibiscus, another with green tea and start mixing them to find a ratio that tastes "doog" ... slightly bitter and a little tart. FYI the tart bit is vitamin C from the hibiscus :flex: NOW add way too muches sugar only use allulose or my preference monk fruit and allulose :angel:
Basically yer making Sweet Tea :egg: cept without sucrose ... ya seez stevia and the likes are sweet but lack sumthin ... that "sumthin" ... is the "mouf feelz" from the polyol sugars. In baking sugar is considered a liquid ingredient for a reason and it also does more than just adds sweet. As you no doubt amemberz I did that whole try ebery available sweetener to figure out which was bestest :wiggle: :secret: it's allulose with monk fruit :bliss:
Like dextrose {aka glucose} allulose is about 75% as sweet as sucrose. And sucrose is the disaccharide of glucose and fructose so I thunked since allulose is the epimer of fructose and glucose and fructose are just structural isomers :boom: :yesss:
So here's the thang ... most americantz don't really likes tea :nono: unless of course it's iced and heavily sweetened... BUT purty much ebery tea has healthful effects so how hard can it be to make a COMPLETELY Healthy drink that also tastes doog 8)
Anywho this is how I started :wiggle: I also make purty fantastic soda 8)
Oh monk fruit is like stevia just without the :yucky: factor and Allulose has a glycemic index of Zero :cheer: and of course requires no insulin :nono: It also has numerous other benefits like actually lowering blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity PLUS I thinxz it competes with fructose and wins :buttkick: BUT that's another ... k where was we ... show :wiggle:
The point of the point to why purchase tea for durtmomma :scratch: ... Just make what she likes and give it to her and let her noes the ffuts is speeshul and ok for her to drink/eat as muches as she likes AND You'd be happy to makes more :matt: oh and it's made from yer durty whurled produce :horror:
Anywho Dad lubs his lemonade and literally has to have it ebery day only that's like 300g of sugar :faint: So first I improved his recipe by making lemonade with oleo saccharum this is where you peelz the lemons and mix the peelz in sugar for a few hours or overnight. This makes a far FAR better lemonade BUT takes more effort than he's willing to put in :yesss:
So now part of the Kale night :egg: sperience is the makings of about 2 quarts of siguie brand lemonade only now there's no added sugar sucrose :muaha: He just thinxz the speeshul sugar I use is a type of castor sugar to make dissolving faster :angel:
FYI: Allulose + Monk Fruit is now being billed as a one to one replacement for sugar ... it's not :nono: ... but it's close enough that you can either git away with it or tweak it from there :yes: It's like Beyond/Impossible burgers no not really a perfect substitute BUT close enough that people prolly wont complain :oz:

Kale & Koolaid. :hi5: :rofl:
Mom is a ddo bird. :yes: More & more like her father, Buddy. I tolded you before how she very very narrow in her doof choices & even more narrow with drinkage. She will try most anything...once. :chuckle: And then give me the rest of whateveritwas.
Yesterday I made muffins. My healthy muffins. Orange, double chocolate & blueberry. Separately, not together. :rofl:
I was going over to take her some as well as a bar of Basis cuz of the long-standing rash she's had & she says, "Just bring ONE muffin. Just one.". So I obeyed. :uhoh: She took one bite & said, "This is good" but then put it in the fridge & I'll bet ya it gets thrown away in a couple days. :chuckle:
She drinks water... And with certain foods she has unsweet tea, with others she has Coke. Regular Coke classic.
But she never even drinks a whole can. :nonono:
She absolutely, positively does not snack unless she's on a road trip :crazyeyes: & eats 2 meals a day. 'Breakfast' around 11...dinger at 5:30 with David (David Muir of ABC News). On the rare nights she wants a later snack she makes :popcorn: Never anything else. And with the :popcorn: she HAS to have Coke.
She will not drink a cup of tea in the afternoon, morning, or any time. And she doesn't do any kind of sweets except a small amount of Coke.
Sometimes she makes coffee but it'sw the stinkiest, stale-est Maxwell House & she drinks only a sip or 2 then pours it out. :rofl:
I always laugh at her for even making it at all. And I don't say a word about how stale & :yucky: it smells cuz she already thinks me a total doof snob. :drama:
Anyway... she is who she is & does what she does.
In other newses...
it's another f'ing gorgeous day! :bliss: I am pinching back a whole flat of thai basil & then harvesting my veranda greens (cuz of the heat) & making Thai basil stir fry tonight! :happydance:
:spring: has fully sprung!!! I am surrounded by birds singing, flowers blooming, cats napping & fragrant beauty! :wubsigh:

Forgotted to say that I really like the pouchong. :yes:
It's not quite as jasmine-y as the Numi but still has enough to satisfy my 'need'. :chuckle:
But the pouchong is quite lovely in & of itself. Velvety & smooth. I steeped 2 minutes, then tried 3 minutes & am not quite sure which I prefer yet. One thing I noticed is that it didn't swell up in the strainer like the Numi green or even the pearls.
It will be a doog base for adding my own flowers cuz the jasmine is not so prominent.
I still says the Rishi has the bestest jasmine (& silky green tea) of any I've yet to try. :yes:
I gotta win the lottery to make it my mainstay tho. :hysterical: $164 a pound. :faint:
But at $1 a cup I will still buy the sachets for road trips & the likes. :yes: That's cheaper than a gas station tho most of the gas stations around here do not have tea anyway.
And at $20 a pound the Numi is quite fine for daily consumption. :yes: Crazy cheap for fair trade organic tea and flowers. :yes:

I gots more teas in the house than I can drink right now. :chuckle:
The Rishi at Amazon was %82 for an 8.8 oz package. I see it's $51 a pound a Rishi. Much more affordable. :rofl:
And no, I've not heard from Pan recently. :vibes: :heart: She's like the wind... :brown: :witchfly:
Oh but I gots a Matthew update. :yes: He finally saw the GI... a lady. Could still be a Joe :windy: :chuckle:
She ordered an upper GI scope as well as a colonoscopy but we don't know how long or when those will be. :crazyeyes:
And...just yesterday Zen Aunt was happy cuz the insurance company finally approved an infusion which is something that was recommended way back in the beginning but never approved tho Zen Aunt had said repetedly that she'd pay for it. :dunno:
I asked her 'infusion of what'? and she didn't know. :huh:
Anyway...most recently he was negative for salmonella but positive for C Diff. Still also having low-grade fevers.
It's a crazy situation.

"I asked her 'infusion of what'? and she didn't know. :huh: "
:chuckle: The infusion can be all sortsa different thangs but Remicade is my guess :yes: 'cuz it's one of them thangs that is :egg: spensive :faint: AND insurance companies don't want to pay for it because iffen it does werk the patient is likely to need it long term :horror:
The other first round infusions tend to be more nutrient based iffen the patients lab show he/she is low due to inability to absorb sed nutrients for instance iron is one as well as B vitamins and electrolytes etc. BUT these tend to be muches MUCHES cheaper :yes:
Cool GI Josie :rimshot: ordered scoping from both ends :thumbs:
It's gonna :suck: to be Mathew :whistle: BUT that will help rule all them other thangs out :yes: Basically GI Josie is betting on some form of colitis ... most likely IBS. Iffen there were blood in a stool sample diagnosis woulda been more important and rushed PLUS muches easier. Now she has to rule out not quite perforated ulcers, polyps, sores etc. and potentially diverticulitis though that's unlikely since it typically causes distinct and prolonged pain.
Also ya noes Celiac Disease is prolly unlikely but Mathew really shoulda tested the possibility of some form of gluten intolerance by now :dunno: Iffen in 2 or 3 days he felt better :boom: done and after a week it would be Yes or No and one possibility out of the way :angel:
BUT it's doog the doktorz are finally taking the problem more seriously :thumbs: ya noes after close to a year :roll:
"I gots more teas in the house than I can drink right now. :chuckle: "
Teas store doog for atleast a year and some for many MANY years :happydance:
Iffen you really REALLY want to find doog teas in bulk figure out who the wholesale distributor is for the region you like and bulk buy :angel:
Srsly :yes: espeeshully from China shipping is cheap and the markup for name brands is typically 7 to10 times the actual cost. In other wurdz for the same price you might pay for a pound of Rishi or Numi you can git 10 pounds delivered to youse :yes:
Yeah yeah I noes too muches to use in a year :whatever: You does noes I also has super storaging skillz right 8) :superman:
Srsly :yes: and iffen nuthin esle you can Freeze tea leabz no problemo :nono: just vacuum sealed not ziplock :unthumbs:

Cool GI Josie :rimshot: ordered scoping from both ends :thumbs:
It's gonna :suck: to be Mathew :whistle: BUT that will help rule all them other thangs out :yes: Basically GI Josie is betting on some form of colitis ... most likely IBS. Iffen there were blood in a stool sample diagnosis woulda been more important and rushed PLUS muches easier. Now she has to rule out not quite perforated ulcers, polyps, sores etc. and potentially diverticulitis though that's unlikely since it typically causes distinct and prolonged pain.
Also ya noes Celiac Disease is prolly unlikely but Mathew really shoulda tested the possibility of some form of gluten intolerance by now :dunno: Iffen in 2 or 3 days he felt better :boom: done and after a week it would be Yes or No and one possibility out of the way :angel:
BUT it's doog the doktorz are finally taking the problem more seriously :thumbs: ya noes after close to a year :roll:
"I gots more teas in the house than I can drink right now. :chuckle: "
Teas store doog for atleast a year and some for many MANY years :happydance:
Iffen you really REALLY want to find doog teas in bulk figure out who the wholesale distributor is for the region you like and bulk buy :angel:
Srsly :yes: espeeshully from China shipping is cheap and the markup for name brands is typically 7 to10 times the actual cost. In other wurdz for the same price you might pay for a pound of Rishi or Numi you can git 10 pounds delivered to youse :yes:
Yeah yeah I noes too muches to use in a year :whatever: You does noes I also has super storaging skillz right 8) :superman:
Srsly :yes: and iffen nuthin esle you can Freeze tea leabz no problemo :nono: just vacuum sealed not ziplock :unthumbs:

:woe: I was gonna ask about freezing tea and then you went ahead & answered! :hi5: Psychic psyentist. :righton:
So here's an ykearf puzzle for you...
I haven't googled cuz I wanted to know what you sed first. :chuckle:
The other night I put something in the microwave to warm for 2 minutes.
When I opened the door to check there were LIVE ants scrambling to get out! :scared:
Now the how they gotted in is easy....obliviously the door does not seal that well. It's a fiddy dollar little microwave that is used infrequently.
And I also figure they were on the ceiling cuz there were a couple splatter spots so that's why I didn't see them on entry.
But...how did they survive the microwaving? :scared: Nuclear ants? :uhoh:
There were less than a dozen, it's not like there were hoards of them. :chuckle:
And :yes: Ants are a constant challenge here still. :yes: They help me keep everything spotlos. No doof ever sits out...no empty dish sits without water in it. No cat doof stays for even a couple minutes after the :cat: is done with it.
And yes, I use poison. :sigh: I've used Ortho Home Defense for the past couple or so years, spraying the foundation outside & inside IF I find a trail. But I have yet to resort to spraying all around the baseboards & windows et al like it says to does on the jug.
So today/tonight we may get the Annual Great Iris Storm. :umbrella: It's a big :butt: storm when the 100s of white irises are abloom. :sigh: I'm gonna go cut a bouquet soon & then tomorrow I will go out & gather the casualties that are still vaseable. :chuckle: The yellow & purple irises have not yet opened.
But...the :rose: s are beginning to pop. Not quite enough to justify my yearly first bloom tea yet but in a few days... :wubsigh:
And the bachelor buttons & catmint & dianthus are rocking it as the peonies are not far behind. :happydance:
The pansies & vilas are still hanging tough after a week of heat, too. :happydance:
I'm in the process of switching the veranda from cool weather ffuts to heat lovers. :yes: :heat: :wub:
I've moved the potted kales & spinach & chard to the Peach Tree GArden where it is always cooler & shady & potted lantana & sage & oregano & thyme & moss rose for up here. :wub:
I just counted 64 pots up here. :rofl: Some are just hardening off...they stay back in mostly shade. I didn't count the flat of Thai basil. :nonono: Some are new perennials who are getting ready for the big time (planted!). Some are big 5 gallon pots full of flowers & greens & carrots :yes: & more. And some are just 6" pots or 12" hanging baskets full of beauty. :wubsigh:
This is my favorite room in the house. :yes: And right now it smells like :cloud9: The white irises have a gardenia-like scent, the princess tree smells like candy :chuckle: . We have a mammoth wild rose growing up inside of a 15' crepe myrtle that smells like, well...roses :wubsigh: And the knockouts here at the veranda are fragrant as well.
Even the pansies have a sweet, soft scent. :yes:
And :yes: Peectures. :sigh: Becuz just like an ice sculpture, this fragrant art shall soon be gone. :yes:
And replaced by another different but just as spectacular version of Eden.
Me & the birds... :wubsigh:
Funny...they are coming onto the veranda more & more. Even tho there is usually anywhere from 2 to 6 sleeping cats here with me. :chuckle: I think Sasha is on the roof again cuz the mockingbirds are hissing. :woe:

Nope :nono: just an oblivious :rbrain: question :yes: Iffen you had noed the answer already you'd just thinxz I was talking down to yer :wheee: self like nermal :moon:

No not really :nono: iffen they was spinning on the turntable :norway: they'd be more likely to (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) Microwaves are NOT very even :nono: AND single photon light :vibes: are not particularly :boom: like so being small :wheee: creatures their bodies are too small to git hit by many :vibes: and when they does git :sebiv: ed they feel :heat: and follow a cooler path. Basically they does the same thang outside during a hot :daisy: ... they don't walk where it's too HOT ... those that do :boom: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)
The non-heating areas in a microwave are actually quite large too :yes: so "doog" doof for a microwave needs to have a doogly amount of water content so that with the :wheee: of the turntable the heat is absorbed and can spread out to cook more evenly. This is why when you cook bacon in the microwave without a turntable some parts are burnt while other parts are raw :oz:
As for the ant killing :woe:
:horn: fipronil OR imidacloprid
You can also use Borax but you has to unerstanz what you is doesing :therethere:
The problem with most insecticides is that they are designed to killz quick which is doog 'cept when they are thangs like ants and termites with a large hive army :horror: So ya need to poison the whole lot slooowly :muaha: I mean :therethere: it has to be doesed :yes:
Borax with sugar werks :yes: and is the mainstay of Ant Bait traps but the problem is these thangs need to poison the entire colony so Borax/sugar will werk when the colony decides this source is the most important AND virtually their only source of doof. This means you really should give them pure sugar to begin with to grow the lines of workers THEN add the Borax .
I use a 75% imidacloprid powder mixed with sugar between 5% and 10% ... yes I werked out the quantities and what werks bestest 8) Too muches imidacloprid and the ants wont eat it :drama: too little and it takes too long. For the ants harassing my father ~7% imidacloprid to sugar was optimal and takes 2 days to notice a difference and 5 days to no mores :nono:
Imidacloprid and fipronil come in different forms so the amount needed will depend on where you git it from and the concentration. Both are also termiticides and for that I prefer fipronil but you 'might' has imidacloprid as an animule flea and tick thang like Hart Advantage ... iffen so just the residue in the container after use would be enough when mixed with sugar :angel:
Dang youse have far too many :flower: s :horror:
Oh don't fergetz afores dead heading :rose: s save some of the :rose: :hippy: thangs for tea :oz: Also iffen you has a dehydrator with a no heat option try drying some flowers :yes: ya noes after :check: ing for poison :whistle: FYI: Yes irises are poisonous :mina: <= psyentist

:cheese: :woe:
And that is why I rarely use a microwave. :nonono: I could easily live without one. There were no microwaves when I growed up & then the first ones that came out were huge & expensive! The first one I had was when we gotted married. It was a wedding gift from my in-laws. And I amembers it came with a meat probe & recipe book hailing the new mode of cooking & tips on how to cook absolutely everything...in much less time.
I does amember trying to cook a roast in it once. :yucky: Didn't take long to decide it was not 'all that'. :rofl:
Mom stlll cooks bacon in her microwave. :yucky:
Kemikills! :woe: :bawling:
I seriously try to convince them to just go back outside. I tells all the insects that they can live if they'll just leave the house.
And I has :butterfly: nets in every room for 'catch & release'. :chuckle: The other night we spotted a honeybee in the house. :eek:
B caught her & put her back out. :bee:
So how come when I searched amazon for imidacloprid the first results were for fruit tree insecticide and other info says it's responsible for honeybee colony collapse? :scared:
And how does a non-kemmised find small quantities that are not $50-$100? :faint:
My $20 a gallon Ortho ffuts axshully works great once it's applied. :chuckle: I gotted a new jug but just haven't used it yet.
It lasts pretty much all season, too.
Today is :elfparty: day! Going to lunch & gallavanting & then grocerying in Murray with Mom & ZA. :matt:
Oh & as for sellaging... prolly not until :b: retires so likely next season. We're still growsing inventory. :wiggle:
And still planting in our botannical garden. :bliss:

That said Do NOT just buy :carp: without actually noesing what yer gonna does with it espeeshully when you kemiklueloss :therethere:
ALL 3 could werk but I used a 75% wp {wettable powder} so I can literally just add a little to a bottle of sugar and mix it up and :boom: dinger is served :muaha:
The first two can prolly be diluted in water, add sugar then applied to bread or sumthin BUT you'll need to werk out concentrations ... the 3rd is prolly the bestest insecticide BUT not necessarily what you want :nono: It contains a doogly amount of imidacloprid but also contains a pyrethrin for a quick knockdown.
It's also only $8 and makes 1 Gallon of insecticide :wub: which means even iffen this was not what you want it could easily replace yer ortho ffuts and be cheaper or you can just use 1ml to make a pint and save the rest for later and :egg: speriment with yer killaging power :wiggle:

:yes: I am kemikluelos & I likes it that way! :righton:
I am also slightly kemiphobic. :chuckle:
I just don't want to hurt anybody. :bawling: Anybody = insects, animals, boids, bees, and of course, peoples.
Would the Bonide :carp: be ok for our apple & peach trees? We've never had any decent apples nor peaches cuz we've never used any type of insecticide & the bugs/worms have gotted all the fruit.
And it won't kill our honeybees, right? :uhoh:
So you inspired me :buttkick: and last night I axshully made a quite decent 'coconut creamy' curry. :faint:
I made a faux coconut milk with silken tofu, coconut extract, a tiny bit of nutritional yeast & a bit of sugar. Thinned with almond milk. And then I just made my previously delicous curry subbing the faux coconut milk for the real ffuts & adding almond milk for the 'broth'. I thickened just a bit with cornstarch at the end.
Anyway, silken tofu is becoming my favorite 'creamer' as it now becomes sour cream, mayo, ricotta cheese, & now coconut milk. :chuckle:

Wow :faint: that took longer than :egg: pected :faint: usually yer like clock werks ... two years and :boom: :whistle:
:hello: It will be 2 years on May 1 since we started this diet. :nana:
And I DID avoid silken tofu as well as regular tofu for a long long time becuz...well...prohibited. :sigh:
Dr E says use it quite sparingly & only for desserts. And I followed his advice to the letter.
So you're calling the fat in :bean: s oil? Ok, but teck :nickel: y the oil that's to be avoided is processed & or refined. i.e. bottled.
Whole foods, including 'oily' beans are the foundation of the diet. There is no additional oil in tofu. Which is why I went against the good doctor's advice & chose to add it to our diet. Even the WTFPB gurus consider tofu a 'whole-ish' food. :chuckle: and use it frequently.
But it's about satiety. Feeling satisfied & no longer hungry. :p I can does a beautiful taco night buffet with black bean & corn salsa, fatlos 'refried' beans, and a cornucopia of colorful veggies & greens...with oven baked corn tortilla chips.
But unless I has faux sour cream and tofu taco 'meat', B is not satisfied & then stalks the kitchen all night long looking for that 'something'. As I've said before he will sometimes just eat a slice or 2 of bread. :sigh:
I, on the other hand, can be quite happy with just refried beans & dry chips. (And yes they are dry and hard but I don't mind like B still does. :sigh: ).
But for reals...if we go back to the super strict like we did in the first 6 months he will be quite unwell. :yes:
And he can't just 'eat more'. :nonono: That's what Dr E sed to does & what you just sed as well. :yes:
But iffin he tries to eat more compliant fare it will just go right through him & he will lose even more weight. :yes:
He's always had a super fast metabolism. :yes:
It's really quite something tho. He's levelled off at about 180 tho he dips beneath that on the weekends when he's really active.
And his 32" waist jeans are falling off. :sigh:
And that is with a handful of walnuts most days (in his daily oatmeal), about 4 :egg: a week, maybe one whole avocado a week, a serving or 2 of frozen yogurt, AND... (cover your ears & eyes) a smattering of baked cheese curls or baked chips cuz he said he just 'HAD' to have something. :chuckle: For realz. But 95%+ of his/our diet is compliant. The other <5% is for satiety & what B would call sustenance. :chuckle:
As for kemikills... :lalala:
Just say no! :hysterical:
I mean... I've just learned to swat a fly without tears in the past couple years. :sigh: :bawling:
I can't help it. I can't kill. :sigh: And for whatever reason, B does not take any interest in this area.
Maybe it's becuz I've always kept the insects at bay. :dunno: Maybe iffin I just let them run free 7 take over the house then he would become interested? :rofl:
That Bonide ffuts sez it's for fruit trees. :sigh: :bawling:
But I likes thyme. :yes: It's doog for bronchial ffutses, too. :chuckle:
Why can't I just tell them to leave our ffuts alone? :gaah: I'd be happy to share, but they seem to take it all. :sigh:
It would be so much easier that way. :righton:
And speaking of :bee: ...
Remember...we lost our :bee: They just disappeared. :ghost: A few years ago when :b: was going through the :heart: ffuts & ffuts.
And then...a year of so later another hive moved in! :eek: :cheer: These, we presume, are feral :bee:
Though truly aren't all :bee: s feral? I mean, how do ya tame a :bee: ??
Anyway...he hasn't been into the hive in 3+ years (since whenever it was empty) & he needed a new smoker so the latter has been obtained & in the next week or so he's gonna go in & :check: it out. :uhoh:
All we know is there are a LOT of :bee: s and they are just coming & going non-stop. :faint:
I'm not a honey fan. It kinda grosses me out. :ashamed: But he loves honey as do many other peoples. Plus I do acknowledge that there are proven health benefits. I just like that we are helping the :bee: s. to thrive.

Yes :yes: prolly doog advice :angel:
"There is no additional oil in tofu."
Well sorta :whistle: ... ya see soybeans contain ~20% oil by weight store bought tofu has roughly 5% by weight BUT home made 'can' has as little as 1% :yes: Ya seez the manufacturing process of tofuing involves a heating step for the soy milk to remove the saponins like the name implies {aka saponification as in soap} saponins produce bubbles aka foam which is annoying espeeshully for bulk processing ... SO ... :whatever: ... the manufacturers often add "oil" :no: to keep the foam down ... generally soybean oil so they don't need to include it in the ingredients list.
Anywho that's to make bulk processing cheaper and faster :therethere: Didja eber notice that the first ingredient is water :roll: the second is typically soybean BUT tofu is made from soy milk which is literally 2 or 3 steps into the process. For instance you can squeeze the oil out of soybeans to make one product then take the remain dry bits ... rehydrate with water ... then :egg: tract the tofu part and has two products from one :bean: ... there's actually a 3rd product which goes into :cow: feed.
The point is tofu isn't what you thinxz it is :nono: unless you makes yer own :wwsd:
That said you can grow boil and eat yer own soybeans ... generally referred to as edamame and eats the 20% oil content straight and natural and follow the Dr.E protocol to the letter and not has nuthin to worry about :angel:
So here's that other shoe you no doubt saw coming :buttkick: ... in ebery case from soymilk to tofu to eating edamame ... the oil is the same BUT different AND yer body noes/feelz the difference PLUS the nutritional values are all over the place :frantic: You see "oil" as one thang either doog or bad.

Srsly didja eber wunderz why a couple of slices of carby bread can satisfy B after a less than satisfying meal :gaah:
The other thing I keep trying to point out is yer preoccupation with his weight/size :woe: Sure he may look or feelz better one way or another but the point of the Dr.E protocol is to reverse his CAD not have him leave a pretty corpse.
The Dr.E protocol {in my opinion } is NOT a healthy way to live :nono: it's a dietary system that reverses :heart: disease and that's it. Iffen youse/B want the bestest odds to reverse his CAD follow Dr.E's protocol. Atleast one person very similar to B in both age and type and placement of :heart: clogging was verified to have completely reversed CAD by MRI after 18 months ... ya noes 4 months less since you all started this thang.
It's B's life and he mostly lets you run it :whistle: ... so I'm doog with any choice he/youse makes.

Number One Son Meal Kits by My Son, the Chef!
:spitcoffee:
I mowed all day yesterday not even knowing about the quadruplets! :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun: :aaahhh:
And as I was mowing I recalled your comment about a "pretty corpse" and started laughing. :rofl:
It's not about pretty. :nonono: It's about health. :yes: And I realized that as long as he's doesing work that most men half his age could not do (Like weedeating for 3-4 straight hours with a heavy Stihl gas weedeater). And as long as he's having no angina...no (knock wood) tachycardia or arrhythmia (since January) and generally feeling doog. Then the skinniness does not matter. :nonono:
He really has been on a tear of late...doing more than he's been able to do in prolly 5-6 years cuz even before the axshual :heart: symptoms & dx he had gained weight (desk bojjing) and lost motivation to do much of anything outside. In hindsight, those were major clues. :yes:
Today is Mom's yard day! :elfparty: And this year :b: is wanting to help does it so I have supper ready (or at least prepped) before he gets home from work & then we lock & load & take 2 mowers over & get it done just like a professional lawn service. :drama:
We're heading back into the 80s. :bliss: :bliss2:
I am putting my :tomato: and peepers out under the peach tree to begin hardening off today. :happydance:
And...we gots the All Clear to bring the tropicals out for the summer. :happydance:
Boy oh boy my jasmines have taken off in the past year. They bloomed most all winter, too. :wubsigh:
But they will be oh so much happier outside. :yes:
And... I saw the first female hummingbird yesterday. :wub:
Maybe we will have babies again this year. :wub:
We have a LOT of birds. :yes: And thankfully, the cats are pretty much disinterested. :yes:
When the yellow cats were young ...they were cold blooded killers. :bawling:
But the next gen are fat & lazy. :rofl: :righton:

:squirrel: :tooshay: are much nuf to watch. :rofl:
But not nuf when they chew fuel lines on cars (Zen Aunt's) and eat plastic furniture (Mom's faux rattan ffuts) & more.
When Lola was new I had to toss a bag of moth balls underneath her every time I went to Mom's.
I read that there is some (maybe vegetable) coating on new undercarriages & ffuts that :squirrel: really like. :no:
Anyway, at one time Mom's house was a real :tooshay: danger zone but this year I've only seen one or 2. :thanks:
And pepitas :wubsigh: and pine nuts :drool: I haven't had either in over 2 years. :sigh:
That's the kinda ffuts I miss most in our diet. :yes: I still don't understand the whys about that other than the fact that most cardiovascular patients are overweight. :sigh:
And the reason seeing him weedeating for so long is so doog is that he could NOT does that without incident just a year and 2 ago.
And at the nursery he DID has issues. LOTS of them. But he writ them all off to hard work & out of shape. :yes: But the 2 summers of sweating & :sun: light surely outweighed the detriment. Truly, he only worked there from March thru mid-December of 2020 & that summer was :bliss: but then he was flat borked (the time period when he could not walk from the LR to the kitchen without being short of breath & in pain). He thunk it costochondritis...or whatever it was called. Then he gotted well enough to go back to the nursery (prolly due to Pagano diet cuz January 21 was when we started that) in April but only worked until July when he was fired for "not working hard enough". :crazyeyes: But during that time he truly struggled. Many days he said just walking across the nursery had him bent over or sat down to rest cuz he was out of breath & in pain. He just had no idea it was :heart:
IT all happened as it was meant to tho. We had no insurance when he was at the nursery so a :heart: attack or cath lab woulda been much worserer.
Then he went to Dana...got doog insurance on day 1 & his BP became a thang. (maybe it was long before that but we didn't have a cuff then). Remember? You kept saying "stress". :yes: He then began the process of getting to a cardiologist & to the cath lab.
And yes, it was physical stress on the :heart: due to the 100% blockage & tiny baby collaterals.
But yes...he's happy & living one day at a time. :duh: We've pretty much always been that way. :duh: With me, there is no other way to live. :p
Funny, he's across the table paying bills (vacay day!) and he just made the final payment on his cateterization. :rofl:
I says, "Well I guess you're apposta be well then.". :chuckle: He says, "I sure feel well & that's what matters most." :righton:

Dunno about that :scratch: but a lot of the tubes and :electrocute: insulation is made from a soybean polymer which rats, mice and :squirrel: types likes to et :horror:
To stop the the eting of sed polymer requires a fraction of a penny worth of capsaicin added in BUT car companies don't want to pay it 'cuz fixing the problem repeatedly is doog monies :gaah: Fer realz :yes: Tesla's are notorious for this :yes: ALSO it's not so much eating the polymer as muches as the polymer is just the right hardness to encourage the chewing for teeth maintenance. That's prolly what happened with durtmomma's furniture :therethere:

:woe: :gaah: Sure he doesn't want people eating handfuls of seeds and :stun: but it's a question of moderation and the effects on the vascular system. These are the thangs where most oils come from and there's the high omega 6 levelz, trans fats and saturated fats etc. issues. These are ALL thangs known to contribute to inflammation and vascular unhealth and I suspect Dr.E is also concerned about the effect on endothelials.
The problem is you can lookup all of them thangs and see they are doog for youse and sez here this is the psientifical evidence :yesss: However, those are generally the effects on "healthy" individuals :therethere: In the same way a diabetic can show that sugar does not cause diabetes it don't mean it's doog for diabetics to eat sugar/carbs :nono:
You really should try and git yer :rbrain: around the concept that there is a diet for healing and a diet for living and they are NOT necessarily the same diet :nono:
Like I sed afores prolly the bestest diet for living well is the Mediterranean diet with a protein :bump: BUT that's only for the already healthy :therethere: Dr.E's protocol is the bestest for a quick reversal of CAD :yes: Since I already beleebz a vegan diet is a slooow road to starvation I'm fairly sure Dr.E's diet should be used for a quick fix then :run:

I does has my whole :brain: around the healing vs living diet thingamajig. :buttkick:
It's been my life for prolly 30 years. Starting in the 90s when I put the whole family on a yeast free diet for 30 days in order to reverse some of the damage done to Jacki by 8 years of near constant antibiotics. :sigh: I did not know the term biome then but I noed something was 'off'. :duh: And I noed that the doctors weren't gonna address it. :sigh: So in my library days, the book "The Yeast Connection" by Dr Robert Crook filled in a whole lot of the blanks left from the questions I'd constantly ask the doctors. :yes:
In second grade J missed 70 days of school being legitimately sick. :yes: She had everything possible...chickenpox, flu, strep, multiple colds...and just could not get well. We even saw an immunologist who said, in response to one of my many questions, "Well...sometimes perfectly healthy individuals just have a bad year or 2 when their immune systems cannot catch up.". :gaah:
I knew nothing about the gut/immune connection. And obliviously, neither did any of the doctors.
So after 30 days 'boot camp' I then modified her/our diet even more but we did not stay totally yeast free. :p
Before that time I'd already noticed a blatant connection between her behavior & MSG & other kemikill additives.
Before that time I was the one who noticed that dairy was not her friend, even tho the doctors tried to dissuade me.
I bought rice milk, in cartons, before plant milk was a thing. :chuckle: (It was nasty :laugh: )
And then 10 years later we all tried (B & I failed) to eat less than 10 grams of fat per day after her pancreas attacked.
But did we stay on that diet???
:no:
And why, you ask?
Becuz there is a time for specific healing diets and a time for healthful eating. :buttkick:
And of course don't forget about how we brassicaed-out to heal my thyroid (they ate less than I, but still...)
and pogo-ed for the psoriasis... we still miss those faux caesar salads with tuna. :sigh:
So as a good friend of mine would say.... this ain't my first rodeo, bucko! :may5:
But the :lbrain: part of me which :sparkle: knows :sparkle: still thinks a few pepitas or pine nuts or tahini in the hummus would not be harmful for :b: at this time. I would not sit them out for snacks. :nonono: I usta...usta roast pepitas in tamari & they were our hot weather favorite snack. :drool:
Anyway...
It's almost May! :bliss: :spring: :bliss:
I gotta get some peectures. :wubsigh: It's the bestest year yet on the mountaintop!

Close. But no cigar. :nana:
We have NOT decided he is healed. :nonono: We are simply doesing the best we can & he has decided to sometimes fuel the rest of his body & not worry bout it at all.
In the beginning I was super stressed. Trying to keep him completely compliant and also trying to teach him what he could & could not have. It took some doing. :sigh: And made me feel like the doof popo, which I did not like. :yucky:
Finally... he began to internalize the diet (after I :buttkick: him into reading the :book: and watch a few videos). By that point I was :pissed: cuz he just wanted me to does it all for him. He was not taking responsibility for himself tho he said he wanted to walk this path.
And then after 6 months or more he/we decided that feeding his muskels & fueling his :brain: & just generally improving his energy levels was all important, too. Also important was me letting go of the stress of keeping him 100% compliant.
It's f'ing hard! Unless one really strives to eat that way exclusively, one cannot understanz the degree of difficulty. You can no longer go out to eat or eat at Mom's. Shared holiday meals become :yucky: and stressful. Those busy times when time consuming meal prep is impossible...
That said, we've decided that 90%+ compliant is a liveable compromise that oughta still reverse, although maybe more slowly.
So yes, we are moving more Mediterranean...or more Pritikin (who also claims reversals :p ) tho really more hybrid according to my beautiful :rbrain: (Axshully...it's a knowing beyond the physical :yes: )
I still do not use oil. I've learnt to cook without it so there's no reason to ever goes back. :nonono: Tho we does occasionally has :popcorn: popped in coconut oil. Maybe 2x a month.
I have tuna steaks in the freezer tho I've yet to cook them. :nonono: :b: is learning to listen to his body & know when he feels like he needs a little somethin somethin. :yes:
We can't/don't does all whole grain pasta & rice cuz it's not readily available & stoopy spensive to order online. We do eat a LOT of brown rice, but jasmine is just fine sometimes, too. My loaded unfried rice holds up better with brown rice anyway.
And yeah...:egg: I put :egg: in the unfried rice. And on the weekends he sometimes eats :egg: sammiches or my famous scrambled omelette. For realz...2 onions, 1/2 each of red, yellow & orange peepers, an 8oz package of sliced :mushroom: and a 5oz container of baby spinach with 6 :egg: De-licious. :yes:
And I does it Chinese-style. I stir-unfry the veggies then scoot them to the edges & pour the :egg: in the center. Then fold it all in together when the :egg: is the appropriate doneness.
But no...we take NOTHING for granted. :nonono: We never assume he's 'healed'. Just as I does not assume I am without :heart: issues. I too has the occasional arrhythmia & more often fluttering or skipped/doubled beatz. My genetic predisposition points towards a pacemaker. :yes: My paternal grandmother & 3 of her 4 children (not my dad tho) all had/have pacemakers. And these are also the womens who are/were hyperthyroidisms. Active, hard-working peoples unlike Mom's side who are HYPOthyroidisms & are more inclined to be couch :tater: s.
So we are finding a happy middle ground where all 3 of us can be the bestest we can be. :hearts:
It just so happens that our lifestlye...and it IS a lifestyle now, not a diet... is primarily WFPBNO with guilt-free indulgences every now & then. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:

Ok gotcha :thumbs: it sounds like something between an Ornish and Pritikin diet though :yes:
I still thinxz you should have werked out which of the 3 factors B was most sensitive too :yes: ya noes afores deciding what is doog or bad based on :rbrain: dislogicalz :whistle:
That said B should keep up with the Spirulina hits :hippy: ... in addition to the nitric oxide :bump: it contains leucine for muskelz :flex: as well as lutein and zeaxanthin in a more absorbable form. These are doog for eye issues that vegetarians are more prone too even though theoretically they eat tons more lutein and zeaxanthin :whistle:
Oh and I has the Spirulina/Chlorella version 'cuz chlorella has more absorbable iron ... which woulda :bean: great for dad iffen it didn't has that fishy smell :drama:
Ah yes the omelette :wubsigh: Dad's favourite meal is a siguie brand :tomato: scramble with Dad brand speeshul :tomatoe: s though I use only red onions caramelized first with charred Dad brand peeperz when available ... THEN when those are 90% done I throw on sliced crimini :mushrooms: deglaze with water to steam and flavour the crimini ... add a squirt of MCT oil and drop the :egg: s on and mix until they is set :thumbs: Oh right and somewhere along the line amemberz to throw in some kale so he don't complain too muches :whatever:
"So yes, we are moving more Mediterranean...or more Pritikin (who also claims reversals :p ) ..."
Oh yeah :yes: now that people are realizing that the AMA completely made up the link between cholesterol and :heart: disease just about every diet claims reversal :yes: espeeshully Keto and ... wait for it ... Carnivore :cheer: :woohoo:
Srsly :yes: but ya nude that about Pritikin and Ornish afores starting the Dr.E protocol :thwack: The issue is that the number of "reversals" from those diets is a very small, slooow and only a tiny percentage and only for the less :egg: treme cases. The reason for choosing the Dr.E protocol was his complete and nigh complete reversal rate was unbelievably high :faint:
Anywho that's why I gotted inerested in Dr.E's ffuts ... it makes no sensicalz :nono: BUT he has the evidence to backup his claims. Iffen I actually noed anyone with CAD ... and liked them enough to care ... I'd recommend following his protocol until the persons CAC score came back Zero :cheer: Then switch to keto/carnivore {Ketovore} for atleast 3 months to rebuild losteded resources :wiggle:

So....you know Pritikin has been around much longer than the 'new' cholesterol studies which prove that sighuie (typo but I likes it) right again :yesss: ??
From the website:
Work with a physician-led team of wellness professionals that get results. For almost 50 years, Pritikin has been the leader in sustainable weight loss & healing of lifestyle diseases – it's scientifically-proven.
And I only mention that cuz Jimmy...the interventional cardiologist at Vanderbilt...wrote down 2 names & said, "Start here".
He wrote Esselstyn & Pritikin. And then hesaid he noed more of Esselstyn cuz he had interned at Cleveland Clinic & was aware of the 'buzz' around him but he knew nothing of the diet.
So I began researching on the way home. :wiggle:
I liked the Pritikin approach cuz it was less strict. But after getting the gist of both I let :b: choose & he says "Let's go with the guy from Cleveland". :yes: Axshully he lives in Lakewood which is just a couple towns East on Lake Erie from where I growed up. :righton:
But here's the thing... after 6 months of starvation diet, we just pivoted to near-starvation. :rofl:
I noed all that about thyroid. :duh:
And I am not going the pacemaker route like my hyperthyroid kin. :nonono: They all also drank the kool-aid to kill the thyroid & instead take synthroid for life. :no:
But the liver thingy is quite inneresting. :yes: As is the IR. Does that pertain to the hypers as well? I mean, it's easy to see in the hypo peoples. And what about the hypers who radiate & become hypo? Are they truly now hypo or does they retain hyper characteristics? They definitely retained hyper personality characteristics. Total opposite from my hypo kin. :yes:
Just curious. :chuckle:
I can only speak for me but I noes my body does NOT like alcohol :nonono: I've forced it to accept it at different times in my life but I still could only drink so much before my body expelled it. :yucky: :yak:
And...my body does NOT like sugar. That is why your search for ideal sweeteners is lost on me cuz I really don't care to replace something I don't care for anyway. :chuckle: Same way I feel about meatz. I don't wanna replace what I didn't want to start with. :yes:
So you noes the first symptom strong enough to send me to a doctor was heart/chest pain. :yes:
And muskel weakness, mainly in the thighs.
But the chest pain was concerning. It really hurt, like when you drink something too cold too fast (as in slushes or icees)
But when I would lie down at night I would feel an intense burning type of pain in the center of my chest & then it would radiate slowly down both arms as well as up into my throat. I never considered it could be thyroid. :nonono:
And I didn't get really really sick until after the ultrasound when I am certain that her pushing & probing on what would be identified as goiter/nodules triggered the rapid release of way too much hormone. :scared:
Oh & yes, the spirulina. We just ran out but he's been taking it religiously. :yes: I prolly need to take it as well. :ashamed:
Anyway.... it's high 80s again. :bliss:
80s forevermore in the forecast. :bliss2:
Until of course it becomes 90s. :hysterical:
Summer. :happydance:
I still ain't got :tomatoe: in the ground or pots. :frantic:

So... we are headed to the ER pretty soon. :wiggle:
No, not :b:
She wasn't up yet when I posted earlier so I had nothin to reports...
But yesterday J & I deep cleaned the living room (moving all the furniture) and her bathroom which houses 2 litter boxes. :yucky:
We were pretty much finished & just putting things back together when she tripped on the vacuum & went :boom: :faint:
Now getting up off the floor is not easy for her under good conditions but when she was possibly borked it was even harder but eventually we did it. She did not scream & was not in immediate pain so it seemed safe to get her up.
Bottom line is that she cannot put weight on her left leg. Pretty much none at all. And becuz she's Jacki she cannot describe nor tell what hurts and where. :sigh: It seems to be her upper femur or hip tho it could be a tendon or even muskel. :crazyeyes:
She can stand on one leg & swing her leg back & forth which tells me the hip socket is fine. She can also bend the knee & ankle without pain. The pain comes only when she bears weight. So basically she's 'fine' as long as she doesn't stand up. :chuckle:
She insists she's fine period but um the walking issue IS an issue. :woe:
This morning I was able to help her to the bathroom & she easily stood on on leg to brush her teeth but then I dug out an old office chair meant for the trash upon which to roll her into the kitchen & then later back to the couch.
B is coming home at 12 & we gonna need the help of :angel: to get her out to Lola. :magic:
Becuz she is only 4'9" and heavy & so glued to the ground (she cannot hop whatsoever) it is more difficult to assist.
I've called her orthopedist & got an appointment for Tuesday morning but meanwhile we really need xrays. My greatest fear is causing further damage so we gotta know.
Strange, but good, thing is that she has absolutely no pain until she tries to put weight on it. She can even scoot herself up on the couch without pain.
30 years ago next January she slipped on ice & borked her right femur. I remembers it all quite well.
:gheart:

:vibes: from an X-ray is the bestest course :yes: hopefully it's nuthin serious :nono: Though after 24h I'd thinxz you'd be able to see localized swelling/reddening or atleast probe for a hard ... prolly painful :whistle: ... area :scratch: Hopefully just a nasty booboo :yes:

"So....you know Pritikin has been around much longer than the 'new' cholesterol studies which prove that sighuie (typo but I likes it) right again :yesss: ??"
The Pritikin Diet was a late 70's early 80's fad, the 'new' cholesterol studies just confirm the 'old' cholesterol studies and even then cholesterol levelz only became linked to :heart: disease around 1970-ish. The reason the doktor sez it's all fraud is 'cuz tech :nickel: ly the psientifical literature of the time supported that conclusion. It didn't :nono: and iffen that doktor looked more closely he'd seez that cholesterol was scapegoated 'cuz the big monies at the time tobacco didn't want their products embroiled in any controversy :smokes: and the farmer groups at the time were pushing to git more monies 'cuz nobody wants to eat :rabbit: doof :nono:
Anywho the doof pyramid was developed in the 1970's but like in Sweden :blonde: I thinxz :scratch: and in the 90's a 7th Day Adventist in the USDA who didn't want people to eat :cow: or any animule gotted it adopted in the 90's 'cuz this made the pHarmerz happy and didn't uppset BIG :smokes:
FYI: lookup 7th Day Adventist diet ... it'll gives you an idea of the origin of these doof concepts :yes:
Pritikin based his diet on the Ornish diet and made it easier to follow but at the cost of reduced efficacy. You will find that sighentistically the Ornish diet is superior to the Pritikin and both show evidence of arterial plaque reversal :yes: However ONLY Dr.E's protocol shows reversal of significantly {more than 10% occluded} arterial calcifications.
Amemberz roughly 2 years ago yada yada different types of plaques :blah: :blah: autophagy needed for calcifications :whistle:

Ornish and Pritikin slow or prevent progression of calcifications that's basically it. That said they also come with all of the missing nutrient problems which they are noed for :buttkick:
Srsly does the research properly :thwack: First understand the problem you are trying to fix SECOND figure out what werks and WHY :buttkick:
I aint neber really looked at Dr.E's protocol until you mentioned him :nono: His claims also make no sensicals and he doesn't asplain anythin :pullhair: However, what intrigued me is that he had DOOG evidence AND I really did verify it :yes: PLUS he had one case of a man with nigh identical :heart: calcification, nearly the same age as B and this man had 2 MRI's done. One that showed the ~50% occlusion and the other 18 months later showing NUTHIN :nono:
Ornish and Pritikin as well as just about any diet that limits carbs including keto, carnivore and ultra low calorie american diet can and will reverse plaque buildup in the arteries :yes: Just not calcified plaque like what B has :nono:
I'm NOT saying these diets cannot result in decalcification :nono: very likely some of them have :yes: just certainly not at the same level as the Dr.E diet.
Amemberz somewherez near the beginning ... I said Dr.E's diet was B's best chance at reversing the thang :yes: That was ALL :lbrain: Anywho yer/his choice and iffen he is happy as he is then any of them diets should slow progression :yes: Just keep in mind they ALL skew nutrient resources one way or another :oz:

Here's the thang ... there's a strong link between Type 1 diabetes and thyroid problems in fact "most" Type 1 diabetics develop Hashimoto's thyroiditis {hypo} BUT 10% develop Grave's :yes:
For the most part this is asplained as relatively nermal autoimmune progression. Here's the kicker not all type 1's are autoimmune impaired :nono: That said there's also a link of type 2 and thyroid issues but it gits complicated.
In short I beleebs the SUDDEN rise in both Thyroid issues is a combination of liver issue AND Iodine deficiencies :angel: There's a wacky back and forth messaging system between the two and when the liver is messed up the thyroid gits the wrong memo and when the thyroid is wonky the liver goes :huh: :scratch: I converted this asplination to messed up memo's for yer :rbrain: unerstanzings :angel:

I :wub: messed up somem. :hi5:
:spitcoffee:
So after nearly 5 hours in the ER :gaah: and a couple of them thinking maybe she had a broked hip :no:
we are home & the diagnosis is "contusion". No, not confusion. :p That's me.
Anyway...the xray was inconclusive & showed a possible hairline fracture.
So then...after much more waiting...they did a CT scan. The CT showed no fracture but it did show...
wait for it...
calcification!
That drow you used a lot up above. :rofl:
She still can't bear weight but the old office chair is making a great temporary getaround & takes up much less space than a wheelchair. :chuckle: And she has an appointment on Tuesday with the orthopedist that she adores so we will see what he has to say at that time. I feel pretty confident with the diagnosis since they did the CT as well. But way back when I worked for 2 orthopedists I saw way too many patients who'd had 'negative' xrays at the ER & then we found they had a fracture after all.
We're exhausted from sitting & waiting all afternoon. :blob:
What a May Day.
:rstars:
Oh! We all gotted Blizzards to celebrate! :rstars: Prolly the first time in 5 years or more for B & I. Not so for Jack cuz well, she & Mom & ZA... :woe:
:spitcoffee:
So after nearly 5 hours in the ER :gaah: and a couple of them thinking maybe she had a broked hip :no:
we are home & the diagnosis is "contusion". No, not confusion. :p That's me.
Anyway...the xray was inconclusive & showed a possible hairline fracture.
So then...after much more waiting...they did a CT scan. The CT showed no fracture but it did show...
wait for it...
calcification!

Today is Almost Friday & it is a very good day tho I am unusually tired. :splat:
I slept soundly & longly. :chuckle:
But J is walking with assistance tho slowly & with pain but she shows marked improvement over yesterday. :clap:
She is in good spirits & encouraged by the fact that she can put a bit of weight on the leg.
Elsewise... I been :frolicing: in the gardens & getting high on the sweet fragrances. :wubsigh:
The heat makes the scent that much stronger. :happydance:
Methinks it's a doog time for some potpourri tea. :wub: I've been adding :rose: petals to my jasmine but have not yet made a proper flower tea.
Happy Thurzdaze... :coffee: :yawn: :pie:

So I made tea with dianthus, rose, lavender, honeysuckle & lemon balm. :happydance:
It was delicious tho maybe a slight too much lemon balm. Twas only a couple sprigs but it almost overpowered the florals.
Anyway...now I wanna grow tea!
Camellia sinensis!
I've read all about it :horn: Extra, extra read all about it! :bsl: And I'm ready to go. :flowerom:
Hardy in zones 4-8. Likes warm, humid climate & low PH. Perfect! :righton:
For Japanese-style green tea let wilt in shade for awhile (I forget but I ain't ready to pick leaves yet :p ), steam 30 seconds to 2 minutes in bamboo steamer, then dry. Of course that's when I could add my rose or jasmine or even dianthus (I never really realized just how fragrant it is til this year that we have an abundance!)
Don't worry, I'll study more before I get to that point. :hysterical:
But it feels like something I prolly know innately how to does. :namaste: :pastlife: :check:

Oh but the lemon balm is doog for the hyperthyroidishness. :p
But it sure losted it's mojo when I dried it before. I used my old, cheap dehydrator (too warm) and also tried hanging to dry as well as super low ovening. Maybe I need a doog quality dehydrator. :yes:
And yes, I could try making a solar dehydrator tho I just read the simplest way is to place the leaves on a baking sheet, cover with parchment paper, & leave them in a hot car for a day or 2. :happydance: That's what I call simple!

Confused Contusion :check:
That's a bestest but still painful problem that she could has :thumbs:
Was it a bone bruise 'cuz iffen it was a muskel or tendon there'd be an oblivious bruising around the area :dunno: Also was it middling in a bone either femur or fibula or near a joint? Middling hair fractures are problematic BUT less likely to occur while nearer but not at any ends is less problematic and more likely to occur.
The problematic part is how and iffen some form of immobilizing rig is needed. The doog news is even iffen there is a hairline fracture odds are doog it will heal on it's own the bad news is it takes the same amount of time :therethere: Regardless why an orthopedist? :scratch: She should hobble around for a couple of days perchance one crutch and then move to a cane or my opersonal favourite a trekking pole :yes: Crutches and canes are to take some weight off of the injury while the trekking pole is doog for keeping balance when yer occasionally wincing :angel:
Oh was the calcification in or near a joint? That could also asplain her bursitis though not the one in her leg :whistle: Also does J git both D and K2 supplements? Oh and was it soft tissue or possibly a bone spur 'cuz elsewise why an ortho doktor? :scratch:
Mmmm homegrowed tea :cloud9: Tried that :yes: it :suck: ed :unthumbs: You can git the plants from most/many nurseries but they don't grow fast enough :gaah: and wurst of all you really can only use the youngest new leaves, the steaming/heating critically changes the taste AND worst of all after 2 or 3 years the plant barely produced enough tea for 2 cups :gaah: Though to be fair after the first year it looked like :xmastree: so perchance did not grow to it's full potential :whistle:
Anywho yes very doog idea :faint: <= siguie suprised Oh and thinxz about growing them tea plants like :wine: grapes ... the side of a hill with doog drainage {or raised bed with lotsa sand} and slightly acidic soil like pH 5 to 6 ... slightly more acidic than for :tomatoe: s and of course FULL :sun:
Google "Great Mississippi Tea Company" 'cuz I noes they started with less than 10 plants :scratch:
Yes, you should grow tea and :egg: speriment with other floral additives too :thumbs:
FYI: I thunked about doesing hydroponical tea growding but neber gotted around to it 'cuz the plants git BIG and takes foreber to produce a few teable leabs :gaah: BUT sumthin to consider :wiggle:
"Oh but the lemon balm is doog for the hyperthyroidishness. :p "
:woe: K I recallz there was ffuts about how that one 'might' reduce that bulging eye thang associated with hyperT but I also noes yer not supposed to drink tea neether :thwack: nor :coffee: :horror: of course no seadoof, kelp/seaweed, iodized salt yada yada :whatever:
"... Maybe I need a doog quality dehydrator. :yes: "
Yes :yes: but not for tea :nono: yer tanassi HELL Hole Home is too HOT nermally during the tea picking season :buttkick: muches like India :yes: not so muches China ... but still afores investing in sumthin doog try googling "Box Fan Dehydrator" it's cheap, easy and werks better than most :carp: $50 or less doof dehydrators :yes: Also no :buttkick: this is NOT a boj for a solar dehydrator :whip:
That said I gotted this one COSORI Food Dehydrator (https://amzn.to/4bdcBYU) <= Amazon Link a couple of years agoes and it's very doog :wubsigh: It's the smaller version BUT it's all I need :wiggle:
The thang to amemberz is that you only need "heat" when the humidity is too high OR iffen ya need to 'cook' whatever slightly. Iffen you has a doog dehumidifier in a closed room with the dehydrator no heat is needed ... often ... or just very low heat :yes: More important is the air flow :windy: the more the betterer but too muches and yer ffuts does the :blowme: thang :no: which is another reason I likes the Box Fan Dehydratorz :thumbs:
Also don't you has honeysuckle? You should try them :yes: There are full :flower: options as well as stamen/pistils :guns: or even the calyx.

I need to :run: but I wanted to mention that for both Hashimoto's and Grave's it's recommended NOT to take iodine.

So at last :check: my thyroid was perfect. :righton:
But when it went :boom: I drank a TON of lemon balm tea. :yes:
According to the internets lemon balm suppresses the excess thyroid hormone.
And here's even a Graves study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8090196/
But I consider myself :sparkle: healed :sparkle:
But no I cannot drink :coffee: much at all any more. :nonono: I am no longer a caffeine junkie. Like someone else I noes... :whistle: :rofl: I does have a rare cappucino cuz, well, I likes it. :chuckle: The milk seems to balance out the caffeine. Kinda like alcohol with sugary soda or juice. :rofl: But I can't drink alcohol any more either.
You'd be happy to noes we haven't had ANY :wine: in many many months. :yes: For me, it was a waste of calories...for B, it only took a little to tachyarhythmitize him. :chuckle:
As for Jacki that's alotta questions I has no answers for. :sigh: We only ever saw a PA...and only saw her briefly. The entire ER experience was :suck: y.
Why an ortho? Becuz they deals with breaks & bones. :yes: Amembers I worked for 2 orthopedists and if I had a :nickel: for every time a patient came in & said the ER told them there was no fracture but then there WAS a fracture after we did our own xrays.... well I'd have a lot of :nickel: s. Dr Wright (my bestest friend's dad) always told me to never trust an ER xray if you still had ongoing pain.
The appointment is not til Tuesday so I may cancel if she's doing better but I sure would like his take on the CT & xray. I'd like to know more about the 'calcification' as well.
It was the upper femur that they initially suspected a hairline fracture in.
Crutches! :no:
Seriously. :woe:
Jacki is in no way capable of managing even one crutch. Absolutely no way. :uhoh:
Even a walker is :uhoh: truly scary for her. It's a coordination thingy. Her gross motor skills are quite impaired.
She cannot even hop on one foot.
B & I had to carry her to the car. She IS able to stand well on one foot & has quite amazing :balance: , all things considered.
But yesterday she was able to bear some weight & with me walking backwards in front of her (as a hooman walker) she was able to move a bit. Mostly I scooted her in an office chair. :hysterical:
So nearly 30 years ago she slipped on the ice, fell on her :butt: and broke her right femur. :huh:
She was to remain weigtlos & we had a wheelchair. She was light enough that I could lift her.
At that time we were told her bones were very thin. But since then she has fallen numerous more times (remember..her feet are the size of an infant 11. Teeny tiny. And she is top heavy. Should she try to run she simply falls forward :faint: ) and nothing else has ever broken. With Jack, cuz of so many many issues, we've found the best life practice is to 'leave well enough alone'.
But...when she went back to the orthopedist at 4 weeks for a recheck he could not even see where the fracture had been. :faint:
He was dumbfounded & said he'd never seen anything like it.
I laughed cuz that's the way she's always been. Seemingly miraculously healing from even the unhealable.
And in later years her bone density was deemed fine. :yes:
And yes she takes D3 with K2....the coconut oil ones you gotted for your dad I believe.
No bruising. Except for the near the elbow & I am concerned that she could have broken the radius. They said they did not zray the elbow "cuz it's hard to break" but tho I disagreed they refused. :sigh: Told you it was a severely subpar experience.
But that is likely what took the brunt of the fall. It's goose egged & painful & bruising & I've used arnica cream & wrapped it.
We shall see what today brings. It's about time for her to get up.
:gheart:

Aww, J :( I hope for quick healing! :gheart:
I don't know if tea drying is like herb drying. When I grew and dried my own, I hung them in small bundles from a rack on my side porch. If I recall, they cured well. Big issue when drying anything like that is humidity. It can cause molding. Air circulation is important to avoid that issue. Hence, hanging them from a rack. :thumbs: Earl Grey. English Breakfast tea. Those be my favorites now. I buy Twinings. Leam wants to get into farming and curing different teas.
It's summer here. Mostly high 70's and even into the 80's. I haven't been able to get out to prep the garden area. :sigh: I'm thinking we be having a long summer this year.

It's summer here. Mostly high 70's and even into the 80's. I haven't been able to get out to prep the garden area. :sigh: I'm thinking we be having a long summer this year.

Thanks, Pandora. :hugs: She was walking much better yesterday. She IS a doog self-healer. :shera:
And Liver Man... :superman:
:spitcoffee:
You gots me thinkin Hannibal Lecter. :horror:
So then out of curiousity...what about 'incurable' hepatitis? The kind from drug usage....I dunno the differences. :dunno:
Would 'my' diet be doog for that as well? :scratch: I noes someone who struggles to be well, tho it's doubtful I would ever talk to said person but still I'ze curious. :popcorn:
You noes...my late Travelling Aunt died from cancer that was found when she went in to has her gallbladder removed.
It had spead to her liver. :yes: Makes me wonder now iffin it could have been reversed or at least stopped tho she would have been extremely unlikely to adhere to dietary changes.
And :pey: Pandora... summer here, too. The first year in a long time that we've shot straight up to 80s, even high 80s.
My peonies lasted less than a week....the irises are gone...bloom then :boom:
I don't even have tomatoes in the ground yet cuz of all the :rain: as well. Think I'm gonna pot some today. :yes:
They are out under the hawthorne tree just waiting to go somewhere. :chuckle:

There are 3 types of Hepatitis; A,B, and C. The one that isn't considered "curable" is B. There are vaccinations for A and B. However, the one that gets all the notoriety is C. C is the addict's primary one for infection. In terms of diet, I have no idea what would help or not help in any of the three forms.
Today and tomorrow are going to be cool and rainy, in the mid 60's. A little bit of a cold front. Monday will start warming up into the 70's and 80's. Lots of rain. We need it, but it would have been nice if it didn't come all at once. MAYBE I'll get out to the garden this coming week. I have to get some lime for the one plot. I don't see a big garden this year.

It's :rain: ing NOW :no: and of course the :cloud: s moved in during kaling :fist:
Anywho we had a little over 2 inches which as reported in the newses is about 2,000 times are seasonal average for May :faint: Yeah sadistical analysis can be entertaining :share:
:cheer: Go J Go :cheer:
"You gots me thinkin Hannibal Lecter. :horror: "
NO Fava :bean: s :horror:
Also no liver :yucky: 'cept foie gras though that's less liver and more delicious fat :liplick:

"There are 3 types of Hepatitis; A,B, and C. ..."
K sorta :yes: :yes: :nono: yer thinking Viral Hepatitis and those are the main players though I thinxz there was also atleast a D and E types :dunno:
Non-viral hepatitis is a different ballgame :yes: Anythin ending with "-itis" just means inflamed and the hepa bit is just referring to Mr.Liver :wiggle:
Drug induced hepatitis can mean any number of thangs but generally that the inflammation has kemically cause. To make thangs even less clear drug induced hepatitis in a hopsickle setting is generally a treatment problem. However, recreationally induced liver swellaging also referred to as "Drug Induced Hepatitis" can mean anythin from viral to nutritional deficiencies caused by the drugs like magnesium and zinc deficiencies as well as niacin, pyridoxine, folate and of course thiamine which is a key factor in Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome ... this is alcoholic :brain: damage but the liver needs it to function properly or it does the swelling dance (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dancers3.gif)
So to answer yer question ... :idunno:
My guess is "no" and while I really enjoy saying they'd do better on a :cow: diet just to push yer :button: s this time ... "yes" he she it would likely does better on carnivore :yes: ALL addicts ... 'cept perchance doof addicts ... are likely to suffer from nutrient deficiencies and meat is the bestest fastest way to cover all bases :angel:
That said stop generalizing treatments :thwack: and learn how thangs actually werk :om: then play :bliss:
K here's the thang amemberz how I track diseases for nuf ... well I track metabolic syndromes too AND one of my siguie super powers :superman: is figuring out relationships ... no not that kind :buttkick: ... wiminz are just :bsc: :stun: ... but for cause and effect type relations I rock :headbang:
Here's the thang youse are carbovores :horror: like the vast majority of Americantz :yes: Thang is ~25% have NAFLD :no:
:secret: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Most don't even noes it :nono: and that's the officially diagnostic criteria needed for diagnosis released by the AMA from available data. Thang is 70% to 90% of obese individuals have it :yes: nearly ebery type 2 diabetic has it OR irregular liver enzymes. And that's 40% of the US is obese while atleast 30% more are in the overweight category :horror:
Here's the kicker NAFLD is NOT weight related :nono: it's diet related :yes: in particular carbs and even more particularly glycogen and even more particularililyer the glycogen stored ... wait for it ... around the liver :woohoo:
K tech :nickel: ly there's also an :egg: sercise component but that's another show :oz:
How does this relate to yer diet and liver ... basically Dr.E's protocol is so freaken hard you used up the glycogen stores around the liver ... which is the first step in reversing NAFLD :yes: the next step is time for healing. Once that is in progress the liver and pancreas can communicate :blah: :blah: properly :yes: Ya seez the liver and pancreas are the two parts that regulate the energy :electrocute: for the body ... atleast on carb based diets.
What does this has to does with Thyroid? :scratch: Doog question :yes: ... EBERYTHANG :buttkick: ... stoopid questin :wedgie: ... fer realz :yes: Think of the liver and pancrease as the gas and air for a car engine ... the thyroid is now like the gas pedal.

Insulin resistance in nodular thyroid disease (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21973236/) <= old NIH paper
Anywho, iffen ya does a saddistical regression of available health data back as far as you can in the US and also Europe.

I'm fairly sure most age related :brain: issues are also related :yes: Thang is there's tons more :yes: it's why I came up with my siguie brand diet 8) and noes so muches about keto, carnivore and the shrubbery :carp: diets :angel:

You are one-of-a-kind, :siguie: :righton: And I mean that in the bestest way possible. Mock-free. :faint:
The body/car analogy is awesome and ya noes, in dream symbolism the car pretty much always represents the body. :yes:
IRL I've found auto issues to correlate as well. B had to has a whole new engine not long afore his :heart: engine nearly borked.
I gotted 3, yes 3, speeding tickets in the months leading up to thyroid speeding up. :faint: Oh & the clock in Lucille continually ran fast....I had to readjust it every month or so. :yes:
This: amemberz how I track diseases for nuf ... well I track metabolic syndromes too AND one of my siguie super powers :superman: is figuring out relationships ... no not that kind :buttkick: ... wiminz are just :bsc: :stun: ... but for cause and effect type relations I rock :headbang:
I heard Zanna :spitcoffee:
I thunk of her all day yesterday on :may5: :birthday:
So I can safely say I am never going carnivore & likely never keto tho I surely may add :egg: and the rare bits of :carp: (fish, not crap :p :rofl: )
It was the mass quantity of :broccoli: and friends that healed me. And I still really really :wub: :broccoli: Fresh, & lightly steamed. :yes: And salted. Or not. :chuckle:
Ok...so there are many many many peoples around here who eat very few begetables. My cousin once told me he ain't gonna eat no vegetable unless it's deep-fried. :chuckle: But they are practically carnivore by nature (and nurture?). 2 guys :b: works with came in one Monday bragging about how they'd eaten the 2 pound :burger: at Wimpy's & gotted the t-shirt. Literally. :hysterical:
So why are they all obese? And generally unhealthy?
Is it the :fries: and :cheese: and shakes? Or maybe it's the Mountain Dew & sweet tea. :scratch:
It's really quite confusing & :nonono: I am not pigeonholing nor stereotyping nor even saying my diet's better than your diet :nana:
It's just that the size of peoples around here is truly quite shocking. Especially for those who come from cities or other countries.
A doctor from South Africa who came here to work asked Zen Aunt (when she was still the boss at the Clinic) if they "hired people by the pound"? :chuckle: :ashamed: That's how stunned he was.
Pandora... I've planted more edibles in pots this year than ever before. :yes: Inspired by videos from India & other Asian places where they feed an entire family from their balcony. :yes: I just moved all my pots of kale out to cooler weather underneath the hawthorn & peach trees. And put habaneros & cayennes in their sunny spots. :happydance: I decided that 4 healthy habanero plants is all that I need. :rofl:
Speaking of Asia...we just learned on PBS last night that there is a Uzebekistani restaurant in Nashville. :faint: It was rated #9 on the 100 best US restaurants by someone. :chuckle: The doof looked amazing but seemed to all be made with lamb. :tantrum:
B loves lamb. I absolutely cannot do it. :bawling:
J is walking tho slowly & somewhat painfully. But every day she seems to get better. :clap:
I gotta go cut flowers that went fally down from our rain last night. NOT 2000X our May average :scared: :no:
Just an ordinary inch. :rofl:

The RDA is 150 μg/day {aka 150mcg/day} which is 0.015mg :woe: and even this minuscule amount is more than most git :horror:
Anywho I recommend ~200mcg/Day :yes: the amount varies but between 150mcg and 300mcg is considered optimal BUT the hooman body can handle multi-grams ebery once in a while so I shoot for ~200mcg or a little more than 10x RDA :oz:
For reference miso soup contains ~2.5mg {that's right mg not mcg :yes: }when made with kelp. Nori {10g} contains about 232 mcg {0.232mg} and one seaweed snack container is 5g so ya needs one and a half for nermal RDA.

Fast approaching the quiet timez agin I seez :uhoh:
:slowday:
Fine :hmm: ... k where was we ...
"... & likely never keto tho I surely may add :egg: and the rare bits of :carp: (fish, not crap :p :rofl: ) ..."
SO ... :whatever: just adding :egg: and :carp: has nuthin to does with keto :nono: you cannot just add meat once in a while and sez yer in keto :roll: OK tech :nickel: ly you can but it's like when you skipped a meal and said yer in autophagy or whatever that was :woe:
Iffen you want to ... and no sane person does ... so perchance you will :dunno: ... you can goes Vegan Keto :horror: Srsly :yes: I can nigh guarantee youse ALL did it afores you just didn't realize it :nono: and yer ketone sense (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/spiderman.gif) is up there with yer memo skillz :suck:
Amemberz when you first started Dr.E's protocol and B was wasting away to nuthin and you all lost a lot of weight 'cuz you just couldn't eat enough and B's muskelz poofed :boom: That was WTFPB with no oil putting you into ketosis. The key difference is in ketosis you run on oil instead of sugar only the diet wasn't giving you any so you burned yer own oil aka FAT (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif).
Once yer body runs out of fat it begins using the 3rd fuel source protein but since yer body wasn't getting enough it used yer skeletal musklez as doof ... catabolism ... :horror: Not quite cannibalism BUT purty close :yes:
Anywho this is an Insulin thang more specifically a no insulin thang :nono: even more specificallilier a no-insulin thang dropped on top of nigh lifelong carbovore body adaptation thang :horror:
The point is you did does keto :yes: and B gained all of the benefits of being in keto at that time :yes: One of the more important ones for him being a strong reduction in inflammation.
Autophagy for him was also likely a thang BUT the deeper states of autophagy as mentioned in earlier ... k where was we episodes ... are difficult to achieve when yer body is still using carbs and my best guess is that in the initial days/weeks this was achieved via a fasting-mimicking diet :yes: In other wurdz during that time where B was "wasting away" his :heart: issues were seeing the greatest benefit :angel:
Here's the thang it's ALL about insulin BUT has nuthin to does with blood sugars :nono: Sure insulin does the glucose thang but that's not the important bit unless yer diabetic :nono: Yer body stores carbs as glycogen for fuel and about 80% is kept in the muskles for quick use when needed :flex: But ~20% is stored in the liver like a bio :logic: al UPS to keep the :brain: and other important bits running when no doof is available.
The problem is when when you git too muches carbs the body starts adding more to the liver store and eventually wrapping around the liver and :boom: NAFLD. Of course that's a different problem fer later ... when you use up those stores of glycogen around the liver AND still have low insulin levelz the body begins breaking down muskle protein for fuel aka protein neogenesis :therethere:
Protein Metabolism in Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022316622137430) <= Doog overview :yes:
Here's the thang for a healthy person it can take 4 or 5 days to use up the liver glycogen once you begin a keto diet BUT iffen you has never been in keto afores it can take 2 to 3 weeks and that's without cheating on any days. Then yer body slooowly adapts to being in ketosis as long as you maintain a keto diet which is not carbivore nor carnivore :nonono: Dr.E's protocol is carb based so ketosis not really a thang unless yer eating so few carbs you are still burning body fat BUT likely you are mostly during the day running on carbs and potentially when the fuel runs out at night you are hitting the keto line :dunno:
That said ... and one of the thangs I've been playing with is a thang referred to as Metabolic Switching being able to quickly goes from glycolysis to ketosis and back agin. This allows one to do intermittent metabolic switching {IMS} which happens to be a thang I'm interested in for my siguie brand seasonal diet ffuts ... but that's another show/episode :matt:
In general ideally one should atleast wake up in ketosis ... or atleast that's my opinion :angel:
:slowday:
Fine :hmm: ... k where was we ...
"... & likely never keto tho I surely may add :egg: and the rare bits of :carp: (fish, not crap :p :rofl: ) ..."
SO ... :whatever: just adding :egg: and :carp: has nuthin to does with keto :nono: you cannot just add meat once in a while and sez yer in keto :roll: OK tech :nickel: ly you can but it's like when you skipped a meal and said yer in autophagy or whatever that was :woe:
Iffen you want to ... and no sane person does ... so perchance you will :dunno: ... you can goes Vegan Keto :horror: Srsly :yes: I can nigh guarantee youse ALL did it afores you just didn't realize it :nono: and yer ketone sense (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/spiderman.gif) is up there with yer memo skillz :suck:
Amemberz when you first started Dr.E's protocol and B was wasting away to nuthin and you all lost a lot of weight 'cuz you just couldn't eat enough and B's muskelz poofed :boom: That was WTFPB with no oil putting you into ketosis. The key difference is in ketosis you run on oil instead of sugar only the diet wasn't giving you any so you burned yer own oil aka FAT (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif).
Once yer body runs out of fat it begins using the 3rd fuel source protein but since yer body wasn't getting enough it used yer skeletal musklez as doof ... catabolism ... :horror: Not quite cannibalism BUT purty close :yes:
Anywho this is an Insulin thang more specifically a no insulin thang :nono: even more specificallilier a no-insulin thang dropped on top of nigh lifelong carbovore body adaptation thang :horror:
The point is you did does keto :yes: and B gained all of the benefits of being in keto at that time :yes: One of the more important ones for him being a strong reduction in inflammation.
Autophagy for him was also likely a thang BUT the deeper states of autophagy as mentioned in earlier ... k where was we episodes ... are difficult to achieve when yer body is still using carbs and my best guess is that in the initial days/weeks this was achieved via a fasting-mimicking diet :yes: In other wurdz during that time where B was "wasting away" his :heart: issues were seeing the greatest benefit :angel:
Here's the thang it's ALL about insulin BUT has nuthin to does with blood sugars :nono: Sure insulin does the glucose thang but that's not the important bit unless yer diabetic :nono: Yer body stores carbs as glycogen for fuel and about 80% is kept in the muskles for quick use when needed :flex: But ~20% is stored in the liver like a bio :logic: al UPS to keep the :brain: and other important bits running when no doof is available.
The problem is when when you git too muches carbs the body starts adding more to the liver store and eventually wrapping around the liver and :boom: NAFLD.

K...where to start? :crazyeyes:
:bsl:
Morning ketosis & friends... :spitcoffee:
And yes, you are 'right'. :sigh: We have been in ketosis with Dr E's diet but also with juice fasting. Primarily vegetable juices...celery, beet, carrot, greens We did a few weekend fasts a few years back & :boyhowdy: you does drop pounds & feel betterer overall in a hurry but then quickly goes back to where you was beforehand. :sigh: I didn't know why then, but thanks to the ongoing K, where was we, I now understanz.
And you reminded me that I am out of kombu. :woe: And miso paste. :woe: I has a 'miso good' liquidish miso I gotted at my non-Asian Asian guy's store. I add a bit of miso (or tamari) to numerous non-Asian things now for umami. The Esselstyn women use a lot of tamari in their recipes & that's where I gotted the inclination from. :yes:
I am axshully on my second widdle bottle of hondashi. :chuckle: Yes, it lasts long long time. :righton:
K I readed all that & even the link. :p My cousin has juvenile diabetes and an insulin pump. She's also had all kinds of health problems in recent years. She's the one who had a miracle baby at 44. :faint: She's 49 now.
Anyway, she's recently been diagnosed with psoriasis. :sigh:
Now she's not the teachable type. :nonono: "The doctor knows best" . And their diet is typical Standard Southern American Diet. SSAD. :( Except, of course, she drinks diet sodas. :chuckle:
But when I heard about the recent diagnosis I immediately thunk of your IR dissertation & pondered the connection. :scratch:
Oh & fwiw, the Esselstyn diet did not erradicate the Graves. :nonono: It was :poof: ed several years before that. :yes:
I'ze telling you...it was brassica overload. primarily. And for about a year I had an herbal anti-thyroid that I took 'as needed'.
And tho Mom & ZA nagged until I finally gotted bloodwork I :sparkle: knew :sparkle: it was fine. :yes:
My symptoms were oblivious... rabid hunger :chuckle: , speedy heart, intolerant of heat, and jumpiness, i.e.unusual anxiety.
And for about 2 years (it's been over 6 years already) whenever those symptoms rared up I would take the herbal ffuts & load up on goitrogens again.
But now I am in perfect :balance: :om: :flowerom: :nana: :bsl:
Oh yeah... at 6:30AM it was 74 feelslike 80 with 94% humidity... :bliss:
We really did shoot straight to summer this year & the grass is super snakey cuz of all the :rain:
I even saw a goodly size snake in one of the gardens over the weekend. :yes: It was a rat snake & we let it be :choir:
I'm not askeered of snakes (they serve a poirpose) but also don't wanna axidently step on or get surprised by one. :startledance:
This is why muck boots & gloves are doog ideas. :yes:

San-J is the tamari I buy. Water, soybeans, salt, alcohol (to preserve freshness).
And I likes this miso: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I33D544/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's shiro miso. I've had several reds but not found one I likes as much. This one I could practically eat by the spoonful. :chuckle: But don't. :p
You just rewrite reality with yer :rbrain: ... like making a draw by numbers pikture just going with what feelz right :om: i
I likes rewriting reality cuz reality mostly :suck: s! :bliss:
And...on a metaphysical level iffin enough of usses rewrite reality we can axshully CHANGE reality! :bliss2: :earthheart:
And I don't know nothin bout my cousin's diabetes cuz she & her fambily don't know nothin bout it. :sigh:
All I noes is she's had it since about the age 7. They are of the simple branch of the fambily :treehug:
And tho she lives just a couple miles away I see her almost never. She's the seester of the cousin who lives up the drive & he only sees her at Christmas & maybe her son's bday or Thanksgiving. He's not very sociable either. :chuckle:
So Mom just might goes along with a short-term keto IF ZA would does it with her. :yes: ZA prolly 'needs' it most.
Mom just finally had her other eye de-cataracted...6 weeks after the first cuz she had a bus trip & then everyone on the bus trip gotted sick. :sigh: And now she's got 3 more weeks before getting new glasses and contacts. She's worn bifocal contacts for 30+ years. :yes:
We dodged a buncha bullets yesterday! :twister: :blowme: :twister: :rain: :twister:
Took down hanging baskets & plants on shelves on the veranda. That awesome $20 shelving unit you malletted together for your dad is now a veranda 'wall'. :righton: It has been through many a storm and has yet to :faint: I did put 2, 20# weights on the middle shelf. :yes: But a couple times larger plants on top...like the geranium...have been caught by the :blowme: & went boom.
Anyway...all the pots are huddled in mass in the center of the veranda. The dry zone. :chuckle: And all is fine. :bliss2:

K so what's the minimum amount of time they need to does ketoing?
I believe you once said a weekend...or 3 days. :scratch: Of courses they wouldn't choose a weekend cuz that's going out to eat time. :chuckle:
But I did some simple researching I believe there is plenty of ffutses on the 'go' list for them to eats for a few dayz.
They will absolutely NOT do any kind of recipe following or suches. They will just cook & eat as they does but within parameters.
We're spending the day with them Saturday. Doing a Mother's Day outing on Saturday so Zen Aunt can come along. Sunday her son will stop by or somethin so she always stays home to wait on him. :crazyeyes:
But on Saturday I think I can convince them to :jump: start their bodies. :chuckle:
We'll see. :rofl: On Jan 1 they said they were limiting eating out to twice a month & they went twice the first week. :rofl:
They prolly average twice a week. Sometimes more. But I understand it...why cook & clean when someone can does it for you?

" :clap: I'ze doog without even noesing I'ze doog! :asilly: "
:yes: :yes: :nono: That's the power of :rbrain: rethinkz the :earth: is yer oyster :thumbs:
Let me noes when ya wakes up ... I hate to spoil a lubly :dream: :matt:
"alcohol (to preserve freshness)" :huh: that ffuts is more than 20% alcohol :scratch: no wunderz it's a popular brand :yes: :chuckle: Prolly marketing speak for a sugar alcohol or polysorbate but :idunno:
Shiro is fine :yes: but that one has a lot of rice malt which is basically ALL sugar. It's likely why you likes it so muches :yes: Despite yer egregious belief that sugar just makes thangs sweet it also enhances flavour as well as texture and in this case can keep the :mushrooms: alive longer :angel:
The draw back is that it makes this miso 22% sugar and it's prolly the bad ones maltose and glucose. Not a problem in small amounts but this miso isn't for diabetics unless they are looking for a glucose :bump:
"All I noes is she's had it since about the age 7."
K so either later acquired Type 1 or severe Type 2 ... this means she has more options espeeshully dietary ones BUT she'd need to show an interest and her endocrinologist would prolly just sez go sees a nutritionologist :dunno:
"We dodged a buncha bullets yesterday! :twister: :blowme: :twister: :rain: :twister: "
Doog dodging :thumbs: Yeah I sawed that :carp: coming up from tejas and following the new tornado alley yer way :horror:
"K so what's the minimum amount of time they need to does ketoing? "
"I believe you once said a weekend...or 3 days. :scratch: ... "
:woe: :wall:
:horn: STOP :gaah:
First never assume what I sez is right ALWAYS fact :check: :buttkick:
Second I NEVER said 3 days :woe: it would be 3 days of water fasting with :egg: sercise MINIMUM just to git into ketosis the first time much less git any benefits :gaah: Three days maybe carb cycling but I don't thinxz I mentioned that :scratch: Yer drawing pikturez with a random number generator agin :rbrain: :drama: There's a journey to git to the point where ketosis is possible BUT once there not so hard or that long :nono: You can be in ketosis or not within a few hours once yer there though generally that's just nutritional ketosis and not therapeutic ketosis :nono:
Third there are oodles of benefits possible noes which ones you want afores :whip: them into a diet they don't unerstanz :gaah:
Fourth after YOU figure out why they should does it make sure they noes AND actually want to does it :thwack:
Now the bit yer :wheee: :rbrain: mixeded up both keto AND carnivore have a large LARGE number of benefits particularly in the short run ... less than a month :yes: What I said was keto/carnivore was easy to maintain for a week or two AND there were many benefits in that time. Ideally the nitric oxide test strips and daily spirulina would be included but not required.
That said the one component I was thinking of is that NAFLD on keto can be reduced by 40% to 50% in 2 weeks AND just being on keto for any time even one night has benefits. The one thang that the ghurlz would notice is that they lose 10 to 20 lbs in one week {nearly all water} but their blood pressure would also drop to nermal levelz AND they can eat a lot more salt ... fer realz :yes: You actually kind of need to as well ... the salt is bad concept is really only a carbovore thang :wiggle:
Anywho, you should learn what is entailed AND unerstanz that it was easy :peas: y for me 'cuz I'm AWESOME and also unerstand the process what is required and am unto a doG in the kitchen :wwsd:
Srsly though :yes: I noes what doof I likes how to make keto/carnivore friendly doof and unerstanz the concepts of satiety and noes what werks for me 'cuz I've been researching it AND did I mention the AWESOME :angel:
Let them enjoy Mom's Day just drop a few mentions of the benefits {phyzical and mental} the possibility of a two weeks trial and leave it at that ... neither keto not carnivore are try it for a weekend to see how it goes diets :angel:
Yes, there are great benefits even for a short time :yes: but you already got them saying no way :nonono: SUDDEN tune changing is never a doog idea :oz:
PLUS don't fergets they is on medications glucophage and BP (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) are literally the thang this diet helps people :buttkick: so monitoring is kinda important too :whistle:
Dang you Thursdazed :gaah: it's even HOTTERER now :horror:
:yes: :yes: :nono: That's the power of :rbrain: rethinkz the :earth: is yer oyster :thumbs:
Let me noes when ya wakes up ... I hate to spoil a lubly :dream: :matt:
"alcohol (to preserve freshness)" :huh: that ffuts is more than 20% alcohol :scratch: no wunderz it's a popular brand :yes: :chuckle: Prolly marketing speak for a sugar alcohol or polysorbate but :idunno:
Shiro is fine :yes: but that one has a lot of rice malt which is basically ALL sugar. It's likely why you likes it so muches :yes: Despite yer egregious belief that sugar just makes thangs sweet it also enhances flavour as well as texture and in this case can keep the :mushrooms: alive longer :angel:
The draw back is that it makes this miso 22% sugar and it's prolly the bad ones maltose and glucose. Not a problem in small amounts but this miso isn't for diabetics unless they are looking for a glucose :bump:
"All I noes is she's had it since about the age 7."
K so either later acquired Type 1 or severe Type 2 ... this means she has more options espeeshully dietary ones BUT she'd need to show an interest and her endocrinologist would prolly just sez go sees a nutritionologist :dunno:
"We dodged a buncha bullets yesterday! :twister: :blowme: :twister: :rain: :twister: "
Doog dodging :thumbs: Yeah I sawed that :carp: coming up from tejas and following the new tornado alley yer way :horror:
"K so what's the minimum amount of time they need to does ketoing? "
"I believe you once said a weekend...or 3 days. :scratch: ... "
:woe: :wall:
:horn: STOP :gaah:
First never assume what I sez is right ALWAYS fact :check: :buttkick:
Second I NEVER said 3 days :woe: it would be 3 days of water fasting with :egg: sercise MINIMUM just to git into ketosis the first time much less git any benefits :gaah: Three days maybe carb cycling but I don't thinxz I mentioned that :scratch: Yer drawing pikturez with a random number generator agin :rbrain: :drama: There's a journey to git to the point where ketosis is possible BUT once there not so hard or that long :nono: You can be in ketosis or not within a few hours once yer there though generally that's just nutritional ketosis and not therapeutic ketosis :nono:
Third there are oodles of benefits possible noes which ones you want afores :whip: them into a diet they don't unerstanz :gaah:
Fourth after YOU figure out why they should does it make sure they noes AND actually want to does it :thwack:
Now the bit yer :wheee: :rbrain: mixeded up both keto AND carnivore have a large LARGE number of benefits particularly in the short run ... less than a month :yes: What I said was keto/carnivore was easy to maintain for a week or two AND there were many benefits in that time. Ideally the nitric oxide test strips and daily spirulina would be included but not required.
That said the one component I was thinking of is that NAFLD on keto can be reduced by 40% to 50% in 2 weeks AND just being on keto for any time even one night has benefits. The one thang that the ghurlz would notice is that they lose 10 to 20 lbs in one week {nearly all water} but their blood pressure would also drop to nermal levelz AND they can eat a lot more salt ... fer realz :yes: You actually kind of need to as well ... the salt is bad concept is really only a carbovore thang :wiggle:
Anywho, you should learn what is entailed AND unerstanz that it was easy :peas: y for me 'cuz I'm AWESOME and also unerstand the process what is required and am unto a doG in the kitchen :wwsd:
Srsly though :yes: I noes what doof I likes how to make keto/carnivore friendly doof and unerstanz the concepts of satiety and noes what werks for me 'cuz I've been researching it AND did I mention the AWESOME :angel:

Ok....duly stopped! :buttkick:
Mom is never gonna understand it....partly becuz her :brain: doesn't work that way but mostly becuz she doesn't give a :carp2b:
Mom's thought process is that "I'm 80, I've earned the right to eat what I want & die happy.". :chuckle: ZA pretty much shares that attitude as well cuz the doctor she worked for (the one who died from a bicycle accident at 65) always said when he was 70 he was gonna start smoking again becuz then it wouldn't have time to kill him before he died.. :hysterical:
Zen Aunt might understand it & is definitely capable but her opinion is staunchly formed by a doog friend who losted 100 pounds on keto then promptly gained back 120. The friend says it was the stoopidest thing she ever did. She losted not only the weight but most of her hair & had other health issues so Zen Aunt is like... :no:
Anyway... Mom eats very little. Her weight is less an issue than her tendency towards sedentation....or is it sedentaryism? :chuckle:
Mom never ever snacks unless :popcorn: is her dinger. I'm truly not concerned with her diet. :nonono:
Anyway...gotta :run: Big day! :elfparty: Going to Martin this morning for groceries et al, then to Paducah when :b: gets home for Mother's Day for ME! :wub: Tomorrow we're doing an outing for Mother's Day for THEM. :wub: :wub:
But what them wants & what I wants are totally different so :b: thoughtfully wanted to carve out a time for me. :wub:
Gonna find a doog Asian restaurant in Paducah. :yes: They has an awesome Artisan Cafe with healthy choices and an art gallery decor but it is only open for lunch. :dangjustdang: And they does have a vegan restaurant but it appears to be mostly doof we can't/don't eat. Many vegan restaurants are. :sigh: So Asian always is most compliant & obliviously my favorite anyway. :drool:
And we gonna find me some parfum. :flowerom: The Euphoria Deep which is my all-time favorite is no longer manufactured so we gotta find a new one. Supposedly Coco Mad by Chanel is similar. My favorite one had peony, jasmine, black rose, patchouii, musk & more. It gotted me high. :wubsigh: Much like an Asian Lily or jasmine flower does. :wubsigh:
It's therapy for after working hard outside all day. :yes:
Fine...so my miso is :wine: :rofl: I only use a little bit, like a tablespoon or 2 in a whole pot of creamy mushroom spaghetti. :yes:
How does you know the percentage of alcohol? Or the percentage of rice malt? How does 'ordinary peoples' :asilly: know these things? :gaah:

Um no offense but YOU clearly don't unerstanz it neether :nono: :tomato:

You are too obsessed with "weight" :therethere: I can guarantee it was never a factor in any of my considerations :nono: Weight is a lot like cholesterol it's only a factor when other thangs make it one :yes:
Also tech :nickel: ly as one ages increased body mass is associated with a decrease in all cause mortality. I forget at what point it was but at some age like 70's :dunno: it's actually healthier to be "obese" :yes: and as long as additional weight does not impact activity level ... which should be "active" ... it's a doog thang :yes:
That said ideally eberyone over the age of 65 should be active bodybuilders :flex: to stave off sarcopenia and improve circulation BUT failing that :egg: tra weight werks too :yes:
Yeah I noes you prefer reading ffuts BUT yer not getting it :therethere: here's a 6 minute youtube video with the basic overview ...
How diabetes destroys the human body (https://youtu.be/DMoh8_qGK30?si=zHkNK_1uizJ0hSSv)
The reason I sez ffuts for durtmomma has nuthin to does with her weight or even what she eats :nono: I consider her diet to be superior to yours AND she had doog lab test results :thumbs:
The issue is she's on glucophage {aka Metformin} AND her HbA1c now puts her at the pre-diabetes/diabetes cutoff. Add in the fact she's on a statin AND taking bp (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) AND according to your memos sedentational (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif)
Those are the ONLY factors I'm considering :angel: k those and the fact that her A1c is likely a tad low due to other test results. The HbA1c is a secondary unwanted reaction product that simply occurs over time and is used as an indicator based on typical reaction time and concentration variables. Thang is there are more variables and I noes them 'cuz I kemystify :om:
K so here's the thang ALL of the bad ffuts happens on account of using only engine #1 which runs on carbs. Iffen you readed/watcheded the video durtmomma is/was in the Beta Cell Dysfunction time frame of The Big Bad :horror: This means her pancrease is still overwerked but hasn't given up yet :nono: Once the beta cells die THEN thangs git a lot harder to fix :uhoh: this is where ghostghurl is at :yes: She needs to wait for "β cell self-replication" to occur which is not fast AND like so many thangs really needs an autophagy :buttkick: However, afores this the pancrease can use progenitor cells to :bump: β cell numbers :angel:
So iffen this keto thang is so hard why does I keep telling you it's easy :peas: y and the durt twinz should does it? :scratch: It's 'cuz it IS easy and they CAN does it AND there are way WAY more benefits than just what I :blah: on about :yes:
First forget about weight :buttkick: it's not a factor unless you make it one and that's what marketing is for ... ya noes to make more people self conscious and spend big monies on Ozempic or whatever the new thang is :roll:
Second don't shoot for keto right away :nono: yer not gonna git there anytime soon :nono: ... well not for days or weeks ... atleast not without fasting and a lot of problems and issues which I just avoided 'cuz ya noes ... AWESOME 8)
Third you don't actually "need" ketosis :nono: what you/she/they "need" is to lose the glycogen wrap around the liver :yes:
Try doesing a pitting edema test :yes: A doog place is the front tibia a few inches above the ankle {around the bottom third}. Done properly you can git an idea of inflammation levelz as well as an idea of kidney function when done on both legs or atleast iffen there are vascular issues :angel:
When you is running on carbs you ALWAYS has additional fluid ... it's just the way the body werks :angel:
There are other sources of edema and water retention BUT assuming no other issues the depth and time for rebound is a reasonably doog indicator of insulin resistance and yer carbovore health ... espeeshully when done periodically and used as a reference :angel:
FYI: back when I was in the hopsickle for sepsis :ashamed: the nurse that was :check: ing me in was :huh: "you have no swelling" atleast in my legs my cheek was purty puffy :sigh:
Anywho it's unusual to have no retention at all :nono: unless you are a long distance runner or someone who is nermally in ketosis :angel:
ALmost fergetted ... :sunhug: :tapfoot:
:no: :frantic:
:tinhat:
Kaleday woo & hoo :sigh:
I'm doesing Habilot curry and kale :roll:

Aurora Borealis Tennessee 2024 <= Youtube
Worst of all after kale night I rushed back to what was supposed to be a clear night :yesss: just to find the fog shrouding eberythang :gaah: :drama:
The doog news is siguie manor is in the fiddys :bliss: BUT we has a dense fog advisory AND I cannot even image the :sun: :gaah:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
Well tonight should be a better night for :rainbow: viewing here iffen the :cloud: s stay back :fist: BUT it looks like the auroras were visible in durt county tanassi :drama:
In other newses kale night was a :horror: temp was 91°F Dad even let me hook up the AC in his room which don't usually happen until August. Other than that it was lubly and the curry habilot was poifect :thumbs: Apparently 1 Dad started growding :strawberry: s and they was really doog :faint: We had them for dessert instead of :pie:
:yawn: :coffee: k where was we ...
"Fine...so my miso is :wine: :rofl: I only use a little bit, like a tablespoon or 2 in a whole pot of creamy mushroom spaghetti. :yes:
How does you know the percentage of alcohol? Or the percentage of rice malt? How does 'ordinary peoples' :asilly: know these things? :gaah: "
:huh: I thinxz you conflated some ffuts and :thwack: ed the :carp: out of it to produce yer delightful quality memo :yes:
Both yer Tamari and Miso have alcohol added for preservation porpoises :yes: The :wine: joke :jester: was 'cuz iffen it were ethanol it would need to be >20% BUT since that would be :egg: spensive and only sellzable to those older than 21 it's prolly just marketing speak for one of the sugar alcohols that can be used as a preservative like sorbitol though more likely one of the polysorbates :dunno:
As for the miso it's just common knowledge and a little basic :logic: ... the ffuts that :lbrain: would does :wiggle: Anywho I noes raw soy :bean: s are a little over 25% carbs and to make miso koji is added which is the same type of :mushrooms: used to make sake :wine: though sake is a rice ferment. Unless you pasteurize
the little buggers they're gonna keep doesing their thang until the alcohol content gits too high and they takes a nap 
or they run out of doof and agin :zzz: There's also a pH option but that's another show.
In other wurdz the alcohol in yer miso is to put the :mushrooms: into prolonged naptosis :yes:
Rice syrup aka rice malt is just sugar like the malt used to make :beerme:
Iffen you unerstanz that "Total Carbs" on a package includes non-digestable fiber you can git the "Net Carbs" aka the amount of sugar that will be used by yer body simply by subtracting fiber from total carbs.
Iffen you unerstanz fermentation you can look at a package and noes what the ingredients mean ... mostly ... :yes:
The miso I gits is not like yers :nono: it's aged longer and has more funk than :earth: :windy: & :campfire: ... :rimshot: ... in other wurdz all of it's net carbs are used up and no sugar or alcohol added :nono: So basically no carbs only a little fiber :oz:
Anywho there's nuthin actually "wrong" with yer miso :nono: ya noes other than the taste :whistle: but yer a culinary wastelander :therethere: this is most definitely a :bump: up :therethere:
Anywho fermentation is a useful thang :yes: not only can you make tasty ffuts but iffen you unerstanz the process you can does culinary :magic: AND you will noes when producers are cutting corners and sellaging :carp:
For instance those people who are lactose intolerant should be able to eat yogurt :yes: This is because when done properly the :blob: s have eated all the milk sugars :secret: lactose :wiggle: When manufacturers cheat, skimp or just speed thangs up this don't werk :nono:
You can even use this trick to makes keto friendly bread :yes: iffen there is no flour the :mushrooms: have nuthin to eat :unthumbs: so you can add a :wheee: bit of sugar ... :secret: and potassium ... so they can does their CO2 thang. The trick is using just enough sugar so that after the second or whatever yer last proof is they goes to sleep :vibes: :zzz:
In siguie brand Hard Cider I likes a little :beerme: flavour but not too muches but I also likes a high alcohol content :yes: So I use a pale ale :mushrooms: then when they goes :zzz: from the alcohol I toss in champagne :mushrooms: which can stay awake with muches higher alcohol content. Then I just calculate how muches sugar to reach that evel PLUS just enough to prime it for carbonation easy :peas: y :matt:
Anywho I noes :mushrooms: and carbs doog :yes:
FYI: I used to make a very speeshul dark :beerme: that I'd put in :wheee: bottles. It had no carbonation :nono: and the :mushrooms: took their siesta 'cuz of the ~4.5% alcohol content. Basically the ffuts tasted like soy sauce :yucky: BUT I designed it and the amounts bottled to be poifect for my siguie speeshul :beerme: bread :drool:
Basically I just added on bottle with yeasty residue directly into a bowl with bread flour and :boom: Two loaves of AMAZIN siguie brand bread :bliss: Ya noes 16h to 24 h later :whistle: which is still faster than most beer breads :oz:

Quote from: SpaceweatherTHE STORM IS NOT OVER: Last night's historic geomagnetic storm produced auroras as far south as the Florida Keys and Puerto Rico. The storm is subsiding now, but it is not over. At least one more significant CME is on the way, and it could push the storm back to severe or even extreme levels.

Boy oh boy the weekend was busy...and buzzy. :wtf: I hadded palpitations & general 'offness' Friday night & most of Saturday. :crazyeyes: Like :butterfly: s in my chest. Heartrate slow for me...58-62 but skipping a beat every few beatz in a completely non rhythmic pattern. Hence the term arrhythmia I reckon. OH, and OH2 was 98/99 throughout & BP was never higher than 138/80 though usually 10-20 points lower. :check:
I dranks some :carp: electrolyte solution (we have these water bottle electrolyte powders that are Publix brand & contain cane sugar no fake :carp: Tommy had a boatload of them that he was practically giving away so I gotted some for 'emergencies')
and I guess I needs magnesium & possibly something called D-ribose but I'd never heard of that one & see numerous contraindications so I was waiting to see what the good doctor :siguie: said about it. :scratch:
Anyway... I'm learning to drink water in the morning & cut back on the amount of tea so as to cut back on the amount of :peepants: :rofl:
But solar triggered palpitations is a thang. :yes: I also 'feel' it all throughout my body as well as the sound from inside my head (NOT tinnitus...you noes I've always claimed to hear GRBs :p ) This is more like the hum/buzz of an electrical somethin except one like me hears it from the inside. Tis NOT my ears. :wedgie: Tis a psikick kinda thang. :wiggle:
And we had a bit of purpley sky Friday night but I felt too bad to stay up & watch any of it. :yes:
Nothin Saturday night unless it was vampire hours. :suck:
But omg in my hometown on Lake Erie they had Alaska-type purple & green & constantly moving auroras! :wubsigh:
But on Saturday we had a nice day with the seesters. :yes: I faked feeling fine so as not to worry them cuz boy oh boy does they worry now. :crazyeyes: Especially about me cuz, well, I kinda (mostly) take care of everyone else. :wiggle:
We went to a Mediterranean restaurant that was like eating at someone's house. :chuckle: The doof was doog...I had falafel, but the presentation was well...let's say homey. :hysterical: But everyone enjoyed it & there was more than enough to eatz.
Oh & Friday night I gotted a new parfum that suits me well. :wubsigh: It's a drug....a doog medicine...and after durt toiling all day I take a shower, put on comfy clothes, & then revive with aromatherapy. :wubsigh:
I think I mentioned that Calvin Klein stopped making my Euphoria Deep. :gaah: They seem pretty much done with perfumes in general as the perfume counters no longer carry whatever they gots left.
So after smelling a whole lotta bottles on paper wands...
I settled on Givenchy Irresistible Very Floral. :flowerom: :It is de-licious. :righton:
Yesterday we mowed. :frantic: The grass is growing by leaps & bounds what with all the :rain:
So this, I nominate for the bestest pictograph :yesss:
more funk than :earth: :windy: & :campfire:
But ya noes you realeyes that the miso I gets is better than the NONE available around here? :woe:
It was not so very long ago that I was still a part of the salt, pepper, sugar, pork fat seasonings group of people mode. :yes: :sigh:
That's all we knowed. Maybe a bit of garlic powder (or garlic salt :eek: ) on :cow: (steak) but that was pretty much it. And pretty much ALL that Mom has in her pantry. I has to carry herbs, spices & seasonings iffin I'm gonna make anything at her house. :yes:
Lemon pepper. :woe: That's the seasoning Mom discovered that she & Dad usta like on grilled meatz. :chuckle: That was as broad as it ever got.
So I think I've progressed quite nicely thankyouverymuch. :asilly:
And yes... keto. :sigh: I does hear you. :yes: But maybe in a couple years. :hysterical:
I am really liking our lifestyle now. :yes: I thinks it's oillos stir fry tonight...or maybe 'creamy' mushroom spinach spaghetti.
We'll see how much time & energy I has left cuz the latter is mucho faster but I am really wanting doog stir fry. i has lots of colored peepers. :drool:
Solly bout your :cloud: :therethere: We gots :cloud: and :rain: today & tomorrow again.

So I has purchased the leftover Euphoria Deep & it was :carp:
I axshully bought it twice. :sigh: It was weak & scentlos within 15 minutes. :yes: I've run across other diehards like me who say most of the 'leftovers' are fakes.
And yes, the original was just as you described. It went through several stages & even the next day I could smell the linger on my clothes. :wubsigh: I axshully liked the time-lapsed scent more than the original spraying.
As for magnesium. EVERY single thing I read about irregular heartbeat/arrhythmia/aFib (the latter of which I does not have) recommended magnesium. The cardiologists, the chiropractors, the general health info. And a few of them recommended magnesium plus d-ribose. :crazyeyes: Somewheres I read that magnesium was once the drug used to treat arrhythmia...before the pharmaceuticals came into play. :dunno:
So I guess the info is all specific to only omnivorous or carnivorous peoples? :wall:
I was confused, too, cuz supposedly our water contains high amounts of magnesium. Peoples joked about the Milk of Magnesia effect when we first moved here & there was something to it....until our bodies adjusted. I've also always thought that was why peoples here in the country live so very long. The older generation of farm-types, that is. Think of Mom's lawn boy still cutting grass for pay at 95. :flex: My great aunts & uncles still planting big gardens & tilling & hoeing into their 90s. :yes:
Anyway... today I am fine. Steady as a drum. I've been sitting on the veranda in gully washing :rain: soaking up the ions. :yes:
So what does I do during high solar times? :sigh: I'm NOT sitting in a cage. :hysterical: And I've always thunk the :tinfoil: hats to be a bit :crazy: but I guess if it really helps it wouldn't hurt to 'try'. :chuckle: J ack i is affected by it as well. :yes: But those are just for the 'hearing' & not the arrhythmia, right? I am used to the sounds...they don't bother me. I just play music or sing or sometimes I sink into it in a :om: kinda way. It's not a thing any more cuz it's been going on for years & years.
But it really makes one feel pretty rotten when the :heart: is out-of-time :norway:

Akshually ALL perfumes/colognes should be like that :yes: It's why perfumerying is an art form (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/waltz.gif). The Top Note is what hits you first :brick: the :heart: note is what carries through the :egg: sperience and the Bass :papa: note is that underlying supporting scent. The trick is to git all of the components to play nice and produce a :choir: that you likes :wub:
The problem is it really takes atleast an hour and more like 8hrs to truly unerstanz a scent :om: Also olfactory fatigue comes into play for some scents earlier than others ... add in skin kemystery and oxidation plus skin feelz and it's a nuf puzzle :bliss:
Anywho glad you gotted an acceptable smelly thang :yes: :thumbs:
"So I guess the info is all specific to only omnivorous or carnivorous peoples? :wall: "
Nu uh :nono: it's specific to people who are deficient in Magnesium :duh: :buttkick:
Srsly I'm not even awarez of a deficiency test other than blood :suck: or :peepants: so unless you has one you prolly just self diagnosed on a single symptom and went with sumthin that wasn't thyroid related :woe:
Didja eber looks up how long those Magnesium "cures" take to werk :roll: 'cuz yer looking at atleast a week to 3 months :therethere:
Also Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium are all linked along with :horn: SODIUM for the bodies :electrocute: system. The thang is the body wants a :balance: yers was likely in a :zanna: state. Generally you need to replace them in the reverse order Sodium >> Potassium > Magnesium >> Calcium. Didn' I eberz mention siguie brand water with my own speeshul blend of electrolytes :electrocute: :whistle:
Anywho yer diet is likely low on salt :drama: and yer body wasn't used to you having a nermal tanassi HELL day and :boom:
"I was confused, too, cuz supposedly our water contains high amounts of magnesium."
:woe: Yer well water is nearly distilled with very low amounts of dissolved solids :wall: EVEN iffen the main component is Magnesium 'cuz it usually is that doesn't mean you are getting muches :dunno:
Anywho try taking the :lbrain: out for a test :run: ... it might feelz strange but it could use the :egg: sercise :matt:

Yeah, yeah.... :whatever: I noes what you is speaking of but... :whatever: :hysterical:
And yes, we has prolly too much salt in our diet. :yes: We do not limit it as per Esselstyn dietage. :nonono:
And potassium.... I eats 2-3 tangerines or an orange and tangerine as well as at least 1 :banana:
We're also heavy on :tomato: and :tater:
I think that the combination of :sun: + :tea: :pee: = dehydration
So truly, the doog side of my :brain: says 'drink less tea when the :sun: is super active'.
Or at minimum, get extra electrolytes to help counteract.
I've also been starting my day with water on the regular. :yes:
And yes I've really always thunk of :tinhat: as only for the truly :crazy:
We gotted 3.5" of :rain: yesterday.
And when we gotted the 3"....Mom only got .2" :faint: She lives 3.2 miles away. :rofl:
I tecxed her & said "How high's the water, Mama?" (and old Johnny Cash reference :duh: ) Then I added that we had as much standing water as I've ever seen. For real...we had been out & I had on compression sock & Birkenstocks & when we got home the walkway was over my ankles. :no: I has to suck it up & wade on through. :hysterical:
So Mom texted back & says, "What? I got 2 tents". For real it said tents. :hysterical:
Still overcast but :boyhowdy: is it GREEN! :bliss: :gheart: :bliss:

:woe: :horn: NO too little :buttkick: yer basically sezing you was suffering from hyponatremia though you decided it was hypomagnesemia fer no doog reason :dunno: and hypokalemia is possible but less likely :dunno:
"And potassium.... I eats 2-3 tangerines or an orange and tangerine as well as at least 1 :banana: "
So yer basically saying yer always low on potassium :check: :roll:
Srsly that's less than 1/3 the RDA minimum fer wiminz and that's assuming you can absorb 100% of it. B should has muches more :yes:
But wait there's more :rimshot: ... :horn: there's a :balance: needed with them other :electrocute: elements and how muches you need depends on the humidity, temperature, level of pHyzical activity AND hydration level. PLUS there's the whole renal function thang and a bunch more ffuts :oz:
Anywho, instead of just listing off doof that you eat try unerstanzing what you need and how muches you are actually getting :om:
More importantly unerstanz the nature of "salt" and why Dr.E sez what he sez and for whom it is important both when and why :oz:
"So truly, the doog side of my :brain: says 'drink less tea when the :sun: is super active'.
Or at minimum, get extra electrolytes to help counteract."
I doubt the :sun: :vibes: have any effect on dehydration nor :electrocute: but proper hydration and :electrocute: :balance: is a no :brain: er :yes:

:slowday:
k so where was we ...
My original emphasis has always :bean: on health/longevity particularly focused on mitochondria :wubsigh: and how realistically they is the only thang in the hooman body that "needs" oxygen. Eberythang else like photobiomodulation stems from the early NASA werk in the late 90's :scratch: But going down the :rabbit: hole ... not even that far :nono: you realize the importance of the ALL Mighty :hail: Mr.Liver :cheer: ... so today's show is an :egg: stension of that :wiggle:
The dreaded Metabolic Syndrome :scared: as per the nermal in medicine it's poorly defined as a bunch of biochemical markers and pHyzical abbynormalities particularly associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The main symptoms are obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and of course insulin resistance :horror:
Following much the same reasoning as the sky is blue and so is the ocean they MUST be related :roll: Sure enough there are some relations but overall it's a purty weak argument based solely on the characteristic "symptom" of both being blue :wall:
The same is true for most of the characteristics defining metabolic syndrome :yes: I've already :blah: :blah: :blah: ed about cholesterol ... hypertension too though even there I disagree with the numbers and low salt as a general prescription. Then of course there is obesity as a clinically significant sign :woe: Srsly 75%+ of the US is overweight and that number is skewed the older people git using weight as an indicator is stoopid :thwack: It's like saying 80% of the people who watched The Big Bang Theory was overweight the show should be banned :fist: ... though I would agree with the banning :yes: it's a stoopid show :unthumbs:
k so where was we ...
Oh yeah the current siguie theory is metabolic syndrome is due {atleast in the US} to 5 contributing factors three of which are deficiencies in Vitamin C, D, and Iodine {I woulda added B vits too but they is complicated} and the remaining two ... ultra processed carbs and of course lack of phyzical activity.
So how does this all tie in with Mr.Liver ... non-alcoholic fatty liver disease {NAFLD} along with Insulin Resistance :angel:
The thang to keep in mind is that here it's really the glycogen wrapped around the liver and yeah sure the developing fat which infiltrates the liver. These are over-nutrition induced problems as opposed to a direct liver problem which is having this effect.
The reason this is such an important point is that iffen yer liver is otherwise healthy it can reverse this problem ... mostly ... in as little as 2 weeks. :yes:
What is the key player causing the fatty liver ... there are actually a few BUT number one is likely fructose :horror: High Fructose corn syrup yes of course but also natural fruit fructose 'cuz it's really all the same once it gits to the liver. Also I'm not claiming any of it is "bad" :nono: I'm saying if your body gets too muches ... as in over nutrition ... yer body adds another layer of glycogen to the liver as well as fat storage 'n such.
The other thang to amemberz is that sucrose is just fructose dancing with glucose (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/dancers3.gif) and can add liver layers and :bump: blood glucose for double :boom: :boom:
Iffen you graph the rise in the use of fructose from the 70's until now you can see that it along with the rise in the use of ultra-processed carbs matches the rise in metabolic syndrome as well as the rise in a number of cancers and other modern diseases.
The thing I'm against is that this is being used as evidence for the rise in obesity which allegedly causes these thangs. My point is that it's not the obesity that's causing the problems :nono: that's just a characteristic of over eating with insufficient activity. I'm not saying being overweight is doog neether :nono: it's just not the underlying "cause" :oz:
I beleebz the underlying cause is Mr.Liver not being happy :therethere:
This of course makes Mr.Pancreas unhappy too and there's the whole beta cell overwork :faint: ... insulin resistance etc. but that's all purty oblivious :yes:
Bullet point :guns: the problem is NAFLD ... mostly ... fructose and ultra-processed carbs are NOT ebil :nono: ... you just cannot eat more than yer body can handle :faint:
In other newses ... Thursdazed agin :gaah: and knock off the :cloud: s already :fist:

K...where was I. :asilly: :bsl:
First this:
"So truly, the doog side of my :brain: says 'drink less tea when the :sun: is super active'.
Or at minimum, get extra electrolytes to help counteract."
I doubt the :sun: :vibes: have any effect on dehydration nor :electrocute: but proper hydration and :electrocute: :balance: is a no :brain: er :yes:
Try using yer whole :brain: to read between the lines. :sigh: :hysterical:
There is a definite indirect effect. :yes: Increased :sun: vibes trigger increased activity in thenthitive peoples. A 'sort of' hyper state. Amemberz me going on about being "wired tired"? :yes: So when one (being me) is in that wired tired state one thoughtlosly (unconscoiuosly....whoa, horrible spellage :spitcoffee: ) Anyway...one unconsciously drinks way more tea than usual without even really realizing it. :ashamed: So in essence...tis true that in me, :sun: vibes can have an effect on dehydration. :yesss:
So now that I is aware. I can consciously change that. :wiggle: Cuz I has the power! :superman: <---NOT Liver Man :bsl:
So in yer recent dissertation you is basically saying we have too much food in our Western Society period! :woe:
For realz...peoples were not obese when they had to hunt & forage for every morsel. :duh:
And speaking of have you seen where they have determined that early man was not primarily carnivorous as previously beleebed? :hysterical: Skeletal analyses have shown that they ate far more shrubbery and meat was a rarity. Kinda skews the whole Paleo diet premise. :rofl:
Anyway...speaking of... it's grocery day here! :elfparty: Weekly purchasing of produce, mostly, cuz I stay pretty well stocked on dried :bean: and grains. Tho I does need brown rice today. :check:
On Friday I gets double fuel points. :yes: Tis nuf to regularly get $! off on gas (up to 35 gallons). :b: takes his truck and gas cans cuz Lola doesn't drink very much. :nonono:
And this afternoon I am seeing a....
chiropractor! :faint:
:pey: I finally borked down & made an appointment. I truly dislike finding wen docs but I hasn't seen a chiro in 20+ years. :chuckle: The sciatica thingy keeps trying to come back tho I continue trying to work it out. Note the word trying which truly does equal failing. :nana: I also have a gravelly neck that is mostly due to competing pillow space with cats. :woe: :bsl:
But when the sciatica thingy gets out of whack it affects the veinage in the left leg as well & I am ready to be right. :shera:
For realz... I feel strong & well & younger than my years except for this :crazy: leg & likely spine ffutses.
So her name is Ashley. :chuckle: They refers to her as Doctor Ashley. And she lives with her dog, Bo (one of Zanna's dog's name) who is some sort of hound that reminds me of :windy: 's pups. I read every word I could find on the 2 chiros in town & settled on Ashley mostly becuz of the dog. :rofl: And the :sparkle: signs :sparkle:

The point is you prolly just need a little more salt with all that tea yer :peepants: and these are doog with tea :oz:

I really don't noes how you eber got to be so smate what with yer subpar reading skills! :woe: :bsl:
Tho I use pink salt....un-iodized. :laugh: And lots of soy sauce & tamari & miso & sore boughted terryaki (yes, I usta make my own per your instruction but sans oil my own is not as doog as the store bought which does NOT has oil :dunno: Plus, it's easy.)
And no Inever buy the reduced sodium soy sauces or tamaris or whatnots per Dr Esselstyn. I tried to does it for a short while but everything was :yucky: so I stopped. :wiggle:
And my new chiropractor is maybe gonna be perfect for me! :hi5: You would :uhoh: :scared:
She is it. She rents a room in a 'medspa' & she has a table & a few hand tools and a computer and a cell phone.
She does the scheduling, billing, and obliviously treatments. :chuckle: No x-rays, just some simple range of motion tests to start & then she manually adjusted as well as used a tool that sounds like a woodpecker & then another vibrating tool. She also pushed (quite hard & painfully) on surprise (to me!) tender spots on my left glute.
I was incredibly sore last night. And if I hadn't understood the process I would probably have said :no: and never gone back. :hysterical: For reals, I had to get ice & tylenol.
She had forewarned me. :yes:
But I could feel parts of me 'waking up'. :yes: And today I have taken it super easy, and am no longer in pain.
I go back Monday morning. :wiggle:
:electrocute: in CA seems cheaper than most everything else. :huh: Cheaper than ours anyway. :sigh:
And yeah, yeah... I noes... :sun: :sigh: :someday:

One of the more difficult bits of migrating the durt twins over to a keto diet would be dealing with the bp meds and SUDDEN water loss and requirement for more salty doogness :liplick:
Anywho, you was the one going all I need Magnesium 'cuz the :sun: burped :vibes: :woo:
I just pointed out yer water is nigh distilled which results in more :electrocute: salt loss :peepants: yer weather turned up to eleben AND you started doesing :carp: outside ... you prolly need more salt :yes: Sodium and Potassium 'cuz those wash out the fastest :peepants: Calcium and Magnesium are also players just typically less important espeeshully for :rabbit: folk ... just sezing ... ymmv :whistle:
"And no Inever buy the reduced sodium soy sauces ..."
Oh you should :yes: the only bulk soy sauce I buy is the low sodium version :yes: It's like buying unsalted butter ... you should only buy salted iffen you intend to use it directly on yer doof like spreading on bread.
Anywho one of my classic siguie brand sauces is low sodium soy, ginger with honey/sugar ... it involves slightly caramelizing the sugar and simmering down to thicken. Iffen you use regular soy it's too salty. From the base I can add chili's to make a chinese-ish chili sauce or miso {more salt} or horseradish-mustard like dijon plus there's always the vinegar options to give it a sweet 'n sour savory flavor :liplick:
Also done right this can be stored indefintely in the fridge :matt:

I counted 9 freckles but a couple might be spots on my monitor. :chuckle: :faint:
And no...no broozing yet. :nonono: I saw her again this morning. She's quite unusual but I does unusual quite well. :wiggle:
As long as she helps I prefer her no frills style over the (most of them) chiro offices that sell everything from pillows to hosiery to supplements & offer so many adjunct therapies. :milking: :cow:
She tests the pelvic alignment by how highly & easily I can lift each leg whilst lying on my belly.
I does still feel wakeaging tho. :wtf: I feel everything, ya knows? :pie:
And yes, I gets it about the :balance: and the :electrocute: salts. All I was ever sayin is that every internet doc I consulted said I needed magnesium first & most of all. Becuz I take virtually nothing except b12 when I remember :ashamed: I thunk magnseium wouldn't hurt.
But I'm hearing the :sun: firing up again so I may need to start taking remedial action now. :dunno: Or not. :rofl:
It's 87 right now with a realfeel of 97. :bliss: And I am sitting on the veranda with a bunch of flat cats. :faint: :hysterical:
In other newses on Caturday as Iounged :b: chainsawed LOTS of branches off of 11-12 :treehug: and he said that he axshully does think he needs a portable chainsaw now for quick cuts here & there. :yes: Does you still like the one you gotted for your Dad's house? And if so, does you noes what brand it is? There are a LOT of them on Amazon. :crazyeyes:
OMG, just had a hummingbird buzz through & it reminded me.... Saturday evening we were sitting in the rocking chairs at the end of the veranda (becuz 'our' chairs were full of cats. :rofl: ) and Thor & Loki raced past me within an inch or 2 of either ear! :run: :eek: I heard them...and saw them as they got past, but B saw them as they buzzed me. :hysterical: It was so fun!
And then later that same night there was the most vivid, most wide, and doubled :rainbow: I have ever seen. :wubsigh:
It was complete, from one end to the other, & right over top of the family farm. (My late grandfather's property now owned by 7 of us :huh: ) It was a purty speshul night. :wub:

"I counted 9 freckles but a couple might be spots on my monitor. :chuckle: :faint: "
:roll: Well there are 16 but some are close together and others more shadow than spots so possibly yer monitor is not as disgusting as I imagined ... maybe ... :whistle:
"And no...no broozing yet. :nonono: I saw her again this morning. She's quite unusual but I does unusual quite well. :wiggle:

She tests the pelvic alignment by how highly & easily I can lift each leg whilst lying on my belly."
It sounds like she's using a type of seitai called Akahige seitai in Japan also noed as bonesetting :yes:
Officially chiropractic adjustmentation began in the late 1890's but most of the mooves mimic asian limb and spine readjusting techniques.
She also likely pulled on yer legs to see iffen they is both the same length and iffen yer knees and ankles line up then :check: ed the levliness of yer :butt: bone. It's easy to seez what's wrong but the skill/art part is noesing what can be fixeded and more importantly what should be fixeded and how :horror:
She sounds doog though :thumbs: most thangs like X-rays and ultrasound are more for effect and to put clients at ease as well as make the cost appear more reasonable. A doog chiro can generally palpate or flex whatever to noes yer problem :yes: Also yers would be easy to spot by the way you walk and shoe wear too :yes:
Did I mention 90% -ish of sciatica problems can be unproblemed with a Zero G table :whistle: Oh and did she tell you to stop bouncing on the bouncy thang? It's actually fiddy fiddy :dunno: ... depending on how or what is causing the problem the bouncing might make it betterer or worse. I just thunked you sed you was using it and :boom: sciatication :frantic: so maybe that was the problem :scratch:

I'm not sure why B12 would does anythin for hydration/dehydration :dunno: nor any clue what you was searching for that made you thinxz Magnesium is what you take for dehydration :scratch: Most salt tablets for dehydration are just sodium chloride with a binder and most :electrocute: packages are 1000mg Sodium/200mg Potassium/60mg Magnesium.
Ideally the Potassium would be closer to 1000mg but too muches can effect :heart: rhythm so Potassium supplementation tends to be done at minimum therapeutic level :yes:
Also did you mean B6 instead of B12 'cuz B6 {aka pyridoxine} is a diuretic :peepants: but this is more about relieving nausea for those with water retention :dunno:
Anywho Magnesium replenishing is more for when you just washed out yer system from the inside :peepants: You does lose Magnesium through sweat but only a :wheee: amount compared to sodium and potassium :wiggle:
I has no clue what you googled that made ya thinxz ALL doktorz say Magnesium for dehydration :dunno: perchance iffen yer dehydration is due to dietary changes that produced nausea and head aches :yes: 'cuz I noes Magnesium tends to be the main culprit in what is known as the Keto Flu or people who start a water fast usually the 2nd or 3rd day :faint: ... I'm chalking this up to yer memo skillz :therethere:
"Does you still like the one you gotted for your Dad's house? And if so, does you noes what brand it is? There are a LOT of them on Amazon. :crazyeyes: "
I gotted this one ... Mini Chainsaw 6 Inch Cordless (https://amzn.to/4dMU2wA) <= Amazon Link but it's no longer available :nono:
Yes, it is very doog AND I likes it very muches and have felled many an oak :UNtreehug: :muaha: However, :horn: Do NOT go by the brand unless it's a noed American brand. There are doog ones but most are :carp: I bought mine the same way I bought my shockwave device ... I unerstanz how Chinese economy werks and timed thangs for when the company supplying the better american brands were dumping their stock.
FYI: China's economy is in the process of tanking so they are flooding the international markets with :carp: it's why there is new trade war :oz:
Anywho, I paid $35 for mine 8) ... my process tends to be looong and over complicated so in short look for a mini chainsaw from a well noed us brand. For instance mine is a milwaukee mini chainsaw knockoff that sold for ~$120. The price of identical knockoffs are generally 50% of the name brand. When the product is being dumped they sell for about 25% original.
That said to make thangs even cheaper knockoffs will start cutting back on thangs like battery quality and power first because these are the next most :egg: spensive. The trick is to purchase at the first dumping price 'cuz you git the most :boom: for the buck :yes: Also iffen yer buying from Amazon :check: the most recent purchases and make sure the reviews are Doog AND for the product you want ... sometimez they are for previous products or sumthin else.
Anywho, mine came with two battery packs and each lasts for about 20minutes of actual use which I thinxz is doog :thumbs: and I've never run out of :electrocute: but then I rarely do more than an hours worth of tree felling :faint: and the little thang has seen a lot of use :yes: and I'm still on the first chain of two :oz:

:yawn: :coffee:
:slowday:
It's FRicKeN HOT :no:
89°F and climbing :frantic:
K where was we ...
I thunked I'd quickly mention the effect of blood glucose in relation to CAD :matt: This is one of them thangs I neber really looked at until I deep diveded ... deep doveded ... :scratch: ... looked into the likely mechanisms for Dr.E's protocols :yes:
Here's the thang the psighence is a bit squishy AND I don't just mean the soft LDL plaques :rimshot: in researching terms the numbers and results are nuanced meaning there is no black and white sugar is doog/bad/causes/don't causes etc. it's all about how a persons body reacts as a whole over time and not one parts reaction to a kemakill :nono:
It's fairly well known that high blood glucose over time damages arteries but before the damage begins sugar in general slooows or as Dr.E puts it "damages" the endothelials. Generally speaking this damage is short lived but reduces the Nitric Oxide production which lowers the overall blood flow. Over progressive events this repetitive trauma makes the arteries less flexible resulting in increased blood pressure.
This repetitive damage also results in a more permeable endothelial layer and damage to the glycocalyx which is neber doog :nono: and makes the arterial wall less slick. Think of the way you might sand a surface to roughen it afores gluing sumthin to it :whistle:
The thang I wanted to git to here that is less well noed is that in addition to glycation of red blood cells aka glycosylated hemoglobin which is what the A1c test is all about sugar also binds with LDL cholesterol making it :egg: tra sticky
Super-sticky 'ultra-bad' cholesterol revealed in people at high risk of heart disease (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110526204953.htm) <= ScienceDaily
"By changing its shape, the sugar groups expose new regions on the surface of the LDL. These exposed regions are more likely to stick to artery walls, helping to build fatty plaques. "
My guess is that when Dr.E mentions "Sticky LDL" he's speaking about all of these thangs together as an overall message of why one should avoid sugar :horror:
Another thang to noes is that Alcohol has many effects ... the French Paradox NOT withstanding where moderation and presumably no preexisting CAD is a prerequisite ... in particular Mr.Liver treats ALL alcohol as a toxin and afores dealing with nutrients it deals with the alcohol. This also produces an overall inflammatory response which also effects the endothelials. So even though alcohol doesn't effect insulin or insulin resistance directly it does promote both acute and chronic inflammation throughout the body.
The point here is that high blood glucose and ANY alcohol ... not a doog cocktail when dealing with CAD :rimshot:
K all that sed here's the kicker ... doktorz want to and 'can' to some degree relate all this back to ones HbA1c values :yes: it's just a little hit 'n miss due to other factors aka that whole nuance thang. An A1c >5.6 is neber a doog thang :nono: but the "damage" caused by glycosylation cannot be directly related to an overall glucose level :nono: One of the key factors is moovement and overall activity level as well as other related nutrients ... like kale intake :yucky:
Another thang to keep in mind is that glycosylated hemoglobin does NOT werk as an Oxygen carrier :nono: so along with methemoglobin these count as non-werken red blood cells :suck:
FYI: Finger style red laser blood oxygen meters ONLY register OXYGENATED hemoglobin. This is another reason why it's a doog meter to has :yes: you can literally see a persons oxygen level based on the hemoglobin that is actually werken :angel: NO it wont gives you A1c levelz or anythin BUT you can track overtime a persons resting SpO2 and slooowly downward trend is bad while mooving on up is generally doog :yes:
Anywho it's not uncomman for diabetics to have A1c above 8% and I noes some are in the 10% to 15% club :uhoh: what is doog and bad isn't well defined or unerstood and there is a lot of "nuance" involved BUT in addition to being Liverman :superman: I'm a big proponent of Oxygen and breathing in general :wiggle:

Super-sticky 'ultra-bad' cholesterol revealed in people at high risk of heart disease (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110526204953.htm) <= ScienceDaily
"By changing its shape, the sugar groups expose new regions on the surface of the LDL. These exposed regions are more likely to stick to artery walls, helping to build fatty plaques. "
My guess is that when Dr.E mentions "Sticky LDL" he's speaking about all of these thangs together as an overall message of why one should avoid sugar :horror:
Another thang to noes is that Alcohol has many effects ... the French Paradox NOT withstanding where moderation and presumably no preexisting CAD is a prerequisite ... in particular Mr.Liver treats ALL alcohol as a toxin and afores dealing with nutrients it deals with the alcohol. This also produces an overall inflammatory response which also effects the endothelials. So even though alcohol doesn't effect insulin or insulin resistance directly it does promote both acute and chronic inflammation throughout the body.
The point here is that high blood glucose and ANY alcohol ... not a doog cocktail when dealing with CAD :rimshot:
K all that sed here's the kicker ... doktorz want to and 'can' to some degree relate all this back to ones HbA1c values :yes: it's just a little hit 'n miss due to other factors aka that whole nuance thang. An A1c >5.6 is neber a doog thang :nono: but the "damage" caused by glycosylation cannot be directly related to an overall glucose level :nono: One of the key factors is moovement and overall activity level as well as other related nutrients ... like kale intake :yucky:
Another thang to keep in mind is that glycosylated hemoglobin does NOT werk as an Oxygen carrier :nono: so along with methemoglobin these count as non-werken red blood cells :suck:
FYI: Finger style red laser blood oxygen meters ONLY register OXYGENATED hemoglobin. This is another reason why it's a doog meter to has :yes: you can literally see a persons oxygen level based on the hemoglobin that is actually werken :angel: NO it wont gives you A1c levelz or anythin BUT you can track overtime a persons resting SpO2 and slooowly downward trend is bad while mooving on up is generally doog :yes:
Anywho it's not uncomman for diabetics to have A1c above 8% and I noes some are in the 10% to 15% club :uhoh: what is doog and bad isn't well defined or unerstood and there is a lot of "nuance" involved BUT in addition to being Liverman :superman: I'm a big proponent of Oxygen and breathing in general :wiggle:

Breathing is a doog thing for pretty much all hoomanz. :p :rofl:
You knows Native Americans called caucasians White Man becuz of their skin color but they also believed that their skin was so white due to shallow breathing. They said White Man did not know how to breathe properly. :rainbow:
And I think divededed is the proper tense. :righton:
So sugary sweet blood carries no oxygen. :sigh: But boy oh boy there are so many :egg: cesptions.
B's mom, for :egg: zample, was the biggest sugar junkie I've ever seen in my life. For reals she ate caramel corn or Captain Crunch for dinger, always wanted a BIGGER piece of cake, carried a pocketfull of Werther's or Riesens in her pocket & car, and on and on and on. Once when J was in the hopsickle we all were :rofl: cuz she put 9 sugar packets in one small vending machine coffee before it was drinkable. :hysterical:
Point is, she never had an :heart: issues nor breathing issues nor hypertension nor arthritis nor nothing... She died at 73 & a week before she died she was on her roof with a bucket & scrub brush scrubbing the tree sap off. :rofl:
She died from an airborn herpes that went to her :brain: :angel:
She was 1/2 German 1/2 Hungarian. And I alsways thought (still do) that B is more like her physically than his dad who died from CAD & :heart: attack at 56. So maybe the wildcard in that particular equation is :smokes: cuz his Dad smoked as well.
But then there's my :papa: who smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish his whole life & had no :heart: or lung issues at all. Leukemia did him in.
So again, it seems that life is a crap shoot. :woe:
Or predestined. :sparkle:
ANd as per way above, no B12 has nothing to does with dehydration and dehydration is not the thing I searched to get magnesium as a result. :woe: It was arrhythmia :rimshot: Try to follow along. :pie:
:fullmoon: tomorrow & :rain: & possible :twister: action here tonight. Iowa et al had bad :twister: yesterday. It's not due here til later tonight so the :sun: will be less of a factor.

Kale :spitcoffee:
I was :missing: :frantic:
Axshully I been real busy. Thurzday & Fryday I felt better than I has in weeks & been up by 5:30ish, prioritizing 'me' time i.e. yoga & :om: cuz that's the key for me I now fully understanz. :pey:: I deep diveded (you left off a suffix :buttkick: ) into the deeper reasons for all the pain of late & the words "self care: kept poppinf up over & over again... :ashamed:
So if I wants to take care of :b: & :j: & the ooz & Mom & kinda ZA, as well as the house & gardens :frantic: , then I MUST take care of me first. :wiggle:
Yesterday was Martin day (not the boid :therethere: ) & I took Mom & ZA & we all ated a Chinese buffet that had surprisingly doog sushi (what they calls sushi anyway :whatever: ) . It's all cheap so only vegetables, imitation crab & a deep fried salmon that I didn't try. But it was better than most of the ffutses around here so J & I ate just 'sushi' & hot.sour soup. :wig: :gle:
:b: is on vacay all next week so I may be in & out. We have a multitude of things we wanna do here, there & everywhere but no real plan so we gonna just go with the flow. :bliss2: :bliss:
Definitely doing to the flea market plant guy (ZA has gotten numerous ffutses there but we've never been) to shop for Mom & then gonna do a quick landscape boj for her. :yes: The 50 year old azaleas at the end of her house were pulled out & now she wants hydrangeas & drift roses. :rose: :yes:
So in the above quite interesting (for reals) :book: are you sezing that becuz :papa: came from a long line of smoking alcoholics he kinda became um...immunized... against the harshest adverse effects? At least her gotted more dominant genes from that leg of the gene loop (pool :roll: )?
The differences in peoples always fascinates me. :yes: I once knew a guy who could drink more :beerme: than anyone I've ever known in my life. Easily, he could drink a whole case (24 cans) in a day of camping & never really seem drunk. :faint: He later developed MS...don't know if that's any way connected or not but interesting.
And a guy in college who not only drank mass quantities but also took all kinds of pills (his roomate was a pharmacist) AND gotted straight As in pre-law. :yes: He's now a judge. :chuckle:
And then there's me who just a moderate amount of alcohol of any kind & I :pukeface:
And the very very few drugs I did in college affected me greatly and I knew I'd be :candle: if I did any more so I didn't. :chuckle:
Just fascinating how bodies are anything but 'standard'.
And for the most part the medical community treats us as though we're all the same. :woe:
I guess it's the best they can does. :dunno:
Anyway... I'm gonna go make Welcome to Vacay Breakfast. :chuckle: And then see what the day brings. We are so very wet. Squishy ground everywhere. And grass growing as we watch. :frantic: But we gonna keep dancing round the showers as the showers dance around us... :spring:
Happy 3-day weekend! :gstars: But you prolly gotta go feed the rats or document the cultures or somethin like that. :rofl:

Yes :yes: and No :nono: evolution generally requires more than a couple of generations but there are also varying levels of individual adaptability. How much insult nonverbal a person can handle in their environment depends on their tolerance and numerous other factors. For instance most vegetables contain methanol ... like a carrot will generally has 1 to 2 mg ... people noes that methanol is "bad" and can make you blind but it's present in most doof sources and carrots are supposed to help you seez better. So are carrots doog or bad? :dunno:
It turns out neether :nono: people as a whole have evolved to handle the general amount of methanol found in doof. Methanol toxicity is a type of acidosis {aka methanol acidosis} which as the name implies is an acidification of the blood :suck:
Here's the point purty muches eberyone can handle carrot levelz of doof methanol {genetics} BUT some peoplez can handle larger doses of inhaled or ingested methanol {innate or adapted tolerance}. Iffen carrots were the only doof source :horror: AND they began producing more and more methanol eventually only those with higher tolerances would survive and IFFEN that tolerance was genetically passadownable then they become the predominant genetic lineage :om:
The issue is that iffen the insult provided by :smokes: and :wine: is too great then people die afores hasing kids and their is an upper limit as to how much one can tolerate so there's always the chance of overdosing.
Otherwise yes :yes: being a descendent of :hippy: :smokes: :wine: types may provide some genetic benefits :yes: muches like sickle cell anemia :angel:
Iffen ya thinxz about it the Americant diet is doesing the same thang by providing a breeding ground to create :superman: types that can be sustained on :burger: and :fries: :flex: those unable to keep up go :bye:

Fer realz :yes: once you unerstanz how thangs werk you begin to unerstanz how individuals differ and why one needz one thang to live while the same ffuts would killz another.

Yeah yeah B is off and yer all out durting :drama:
Well due to yesterdaze being a holiday and busy Kale night was mooved to tonight :cheer:
AND it's fricken HOT agin :gaah:
Of course the big :sun: spot is supposedly heading around the bend for another shot at us :guns: :earth: BUT naturally it t'weren't visible yesterday :gaah: ya noes afores the fog came in :fist:
K where was we ...
Well a few of the minions swallowed the marketing koolade about keto being a weight loss miracle :woe: I'm guessing social media has been promoting keto and possibly carnivore into a fad fad/frenzy ... though I don't social mediate :dunno:
Anywho for whatever reason they thinxz I was actually on a keto/carnivore diet :woe: which was never the point also "weight" really has nothing to does with anythin :nono: It's only an issue iffen it prevents a person from being active AND msukles weigh more than fat anywho :flex:
I noes I mentioned it afores but the thang I am inerested in is metabolic switching or more specifically metabolic flexibility :matt:
Once you unerstanz the fundamentals a la that nutritioning by siguie :carp: ffuts just make sensicalz :bliss: There are 4 fundamental lifestyle diet types 5 with the WTFPB Dr.E protocolz :wiggle: and they each have certain benefits :yes: What most people do is a mix and match version of what werks for them ... which is great :thumbs: but I wanted to unerstanz the individual benefits without diluting them :oz:
Metabolic switching is changing from running on one fuel to the other.
Metabolic flexibility is about how quickly you can does this :wiggle:
Vegetarian, Vegan {the diet not the pHilosopHy}, Keto and Carnivore are the main 4 diet/lifestyles. Eberythang else is more or less a derivative of these including Dr.E's protocol :yes: Vegan is obliviously a version of vegetarian BUT cutting out so many non-meat but otherwise animule based nutrients strongly impacts the overall diet so it's its own thang :oz:
The main differences in the way the body processes doof on these 4 diets is which fuels are burned and which engines are used along with nutrient availability AND bioavailability.
Ketosis uses less oxygen and produces fewer reactive oxygen species and does not require insulin. On a carnivore diet the body runs on fat like with ketosis but still needs to convert protein into carbs via a process know as Gluconeogenesis so insulin levelz are elevated compared to ketosis but are more even and controlled compared to a carb diet. A vegetarian and or vegan diet is generally carb based and follows a glycolytic pathway though it is possible to modify it for ketosis.
I believe one of the key advantages of a shrub based diet is the relatively low nutrient density with generally very high fiber. A carnivore based diet is almost the :egg: act opposite, while the keto diet is sumwherez :rainbow: in between.
K most people believez the best diet is a mix of eberythang :rainbow: :gstars: in what is considered "healthy" proportions hence the benefits in the Mediterranean diet :oz:
I don't thinxz that's right :nonono: the siguie theory is a seasonal switching cycle diet is optimal ... more carnivorian in the wynter, keto/carb fall and sprang and carbavorian in summer.
I noes I've mentioned this afores :yes: but the point is I was curious as to which is better based on siguie theory metabolic switching seasonally OR maintaining metabolic flexibility throughout the year :balance: with a push either towards carbs, :cow: or whatever.
SO ... :whatever: ... nope not a shrubbist/keto/carnivore/carbovore or nuthin just Omnivorian :bliss:

On a carnivore diet the body runs on fat like with ketosis but still needs to convert protein into carbs via a process know as Gluconeogenesis so insulin levelz are elevated compared to ketosis but are more even and controlled compared to a carb diet. A vegetarian and or vegan diet is generally carb based and follows a glycolytic pathway though it is possible to modify it for ketosis.
I believe one of the key advantages of a shrub based diet is the relatively low nutrient density with generally very high fiber. A carnivore based diet is almost the :egg: act opposite, while the keto diet is sumwherez :rainbow: in between.
K most people believez the best diet is a mix of eberythang :rainbow: :gstars: in what is considered "healthy" proportions hence the benefits in the Mediterranean diet :oz:
I don't thinxz that's right :nonono: the siguie theory is a seasonal switching cycle diet is optimal ... more carnivorian in the wynter, keto/carb fall and sprang and carbavorian in summer.
I noes I've mentioned this afores :yes: but the point is I was curious as to which is better based on siguie theory metabolic switching seasonally OR maintaining metabolic flexibility throughout the year :balance: with a push either towards carbs, :cow: or whatever.
SO ... :whatever: ... nope not a shrubbist/keto/carnivore/carbovore or nuthin just Omnivorian :bliss:

Socially mediating... :no: This is it besides youtube videos.
And yes, I heard ya on everythang & yes, keto/carnivore IS a thang 'out there' and NO I doesn't think our diet is 'right' for everyone. :nonono: I does believe that whole foods...'real' food...is infinitely better than ultraprocessed factry foods tho. :yes: And I does have personal issues with animules being treated like factry commodities with profit & production > humaneness. But I doesn't care what others think. :nonono:
Anyway... crazy busy week. :frantic: We went to a market of fleas at 6:30 AM on Tuesday for plants to plant at Mom's house. 3 limelight hydrangeas, 3 or 4 pretty little speshul boxwoods, 7 drift roses & then half a dozen hostas. Then...we landscaped the end of her house. :faint: B did most the work but I :butt: sisted
Mowed all day Wednesday & Thurzdaze (here & Mom's ) cuz it rained
Ate too much bad ffuts which innerestingly enough really throws mine & J's digestives into a tizzy but doesn't seem to affect :b: at all. :woe: I gotted the ship righted again yesterday with an awesome stir fry (I've gotted doog at stir frying sans oil :wiggle: )
Just up & at it every day & :boyhowdy: was I glad to see him go back to work so I could rest. :spitcoffee:
That's a good thing tho. :yes: Never taking a moment for granted. :yes:
86 feels like 99 here right now. Dewpoint 73. I'm sitting on the veranda in the massive outdoor sauna. :heat: :wubsigh:
Gotta shower soon tho cuz :b: took the microwave apart & now it won't go back together so we gonna get a new one. :woe: :bsl:
Long story but suffice it to say (credit zanna) it was a fiddy dolla microwave & we'd long gotten our money's worth.
We going to Walmart after work. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:

Oh my! :faint:
That's ridiculous. Not so bad here but for youse... :aaahhh:
I just amembered I started posting yesterday & then Shaggy climbed up on top of the puter so I had to put it down. Then J got up, eeerbody needed somethin... and well... crazy til bedtime. :splat:
I saideded that I'm only talking bout the high sugar, high sodium, high fat frozen foods mostly, that oh so many peoples rely on for everyday meals. :sigh: I see what's in their carts. I see how unhealthy they appear. I see the correlation. :gheart:
In other newses.... it no longer rains here. It POURS! :frantic:
It just started now & bout scared me & Cookie & the cats out of our seats! :rofl: Of courses, tis much louder on the metal roof but it doesn't start with a sprinkle nor even a light shower any more. It starts as if a big hole is punched in a water balloon. :umbrella:
We've had standing water for a couple weeks now which is quite unusual cuz even with the periodic gully washer it usta always soak in within a day. :pey: I noes that's called saturation. And it makes :treehug: go :boom: :faint:
Axshully when the :treehug: goes :faint: the power goes :electrocute: and :basementcat: rules the day.
:bsl:
But in light of all that water I wanna sez :thanks: again for informing me that I can share flea & tick meds for the :cat: 5 of them wisely rarely leave the veranda (yep, we built a cat room :hysterical: ), Swami roams...and Stripes rarely ever even comes outside.
But I noes from last year that if one gets fleas we (they) can ALL gets fleas. :no:
And :thanks: for the Amazon tip earlier cuz yes we are on the lookout for a wood chipper shredder. :righton:
In other other newses...
over Memorial Day weekend (Sunday, I think :scratch: ) Cookie gotted bit by a snake. A pretty big one judging by the now-visible fang marks. :sigh: We've done this rodeo before...first Spirit in Louisville then Chico right here.
Since it was a holiday weekend (why does all these types of things happen on holidays?) I treated her with medicine from Chico & :ococ: and :cs: from me. :chuckle: I initially gave her a fairly hefty dose of benadryl & we held :cs: & peroxide on the wound (on her upper thigh/butt cheek as maybe she sat on it! :eek: )
Then the next day I found pain pills from when :ococ: was in a knife fight (or more likely a death match with a beaver :sigh: The beaver lost :candle: ) & antibiotic from them both hasing had :heart: worm.
It was pretty gnarly for a couple days but now, after 10 days, she is mostly healed except the big bald spot where the wound is & now the fang marks are visible. :scared: We never saw the snake. Mighta been a copperhead judging by the 24 hours of panting & seemingly extreme pain.
:crazyeyes: :gheart:
And yes, I wears muck boots most all the time now. :crazyeyes: We gotted :b: some new boots this past weekend cuz he'd been sloshing around in Oofos. :no:
Life in the Rainforest! :bliss2: :bliss:
It IS lush & beautiful tho.

I actually changed from Costco sirloin :burger: s to the higher fat and cheaper :yesss: :burger: :cow: Basically when the keto engine is engaged you NEED more Fat AND Salt but surprisingly less water :angel:
I also noticed the "hitting the wall" phenomenon when running on my treadmill. This is where ones glycogen stores run out ... so I werked out how muches sugar/carbs to has an hour or so afores.
The point is I likes eating high sugar, high sodium, high fat for health reasons 8)

I does understanz about Engine 1 & Engine 2 cuz you have :blah: :blah: :blah: enough abouts it.
But I still sez the hooman body is happier (and healthier) with whole, nutrient dense doof. :broccoli:
You has no long-term studies on your new high-fat, high-sodium, high-sugar way of life. :blob:
It doesn't matter. You do you. I'll do vegetationalizing for as long as I can. :wiggle: :hippy: :hayseed:
:pie: No :eip: for me thankyouverymuch. :p Tho really, my body has never liked sweets. :nonono: I'm talkin bout my body, not my :brain: And yes, my body speaks to me. :drama:

I'd agree :yes: :faint: 'cept of course plants are the LEAST nutrient dense doof options :whistle: ... they posses anti-nutrient :vibes: which deplete certain nutrients AND can literally act to reduce absorption of thangs like healthy fats :wiggle:
When a body has been over nutrientified for years plant based diets can be very useful :yes: The problems only occur years later when key nutrients run out. This is why people who become vegetationists later in life live longer than those who have always :bean: in a vegetative state :rimshot: ... fer realz :yes: It's like why smokers that quit :smokes: live longer than those who don't but still have more problems than those who neber went down the :smokes: path :oz:

:huh: You literally just sed ... "I does understanz about Engine 1 & Engine 2 cuz you have :blah: :blah: :blah: enough abouts it."

K. :crazyeyes: :yes: :wtf: You sez it's simple... I still find it confusulating. :yes:
So when I was younger & put bacon grease in every vegetable & fried most every meat then it was still my :mushrooms: Overlord :sockpuppet: that was telling me I didn't care for sweets? :huh: Even as a kid I preferred sour candies over candy bars :yucky: or chocolate (tho I didn't discover dark chocolate til my teens & that's still my favorite). I will still take a hard pass on milk chocolate. :yucky:
So cannot we simply be born with certain leanings? :yes: The old nature vs nurture debate. :yes:
And can't some peoples do better or worser with some things than others? (Clue...you already answered that with :papa: and :beerme: and :smokes: )
And this is what makes it complicated. :yes:
Anyway.... today is grocery day. :hysterical: Time to go fill my cart 3/4 full of produce. :bsl: :elfparty:
And then we likely gotta mow tonight cuz we gots more :rain: coming over the weekend! :aaahhh:
For realz, we have standing water near the shipping crate gardens that has been there over a week & doesn't seem to be going anywhere. :uhoh: That's not ever happened. :huh: But we mowed Mom's yesterday & it was just wet, not soppy. :crazyeyes:
How long I been saying we live in a Rainforest? :treehug:
For reals. :faint:

QuoteAccordingly, Davis devised the experiment to let children do for themselves because she suspected that children's bodies instinctively "knew best" what the individual child should eat. Her intellectual model, a view that would later be called "the wisdom of the body," likened a child's instinctive appetite to the way various autonomic body systems effortlessly adjust themselves to compensate for external challenges — think of sweating on a hot day, and breathing faster when you start to run.

HARD RADIATION STORM: A powerful explosion on the sun today peppered Earth and nearby spacecraft with "hard" protons. The radiation storm fogged satellite cameras for hours. Following close behind, a CME is heading for Earth, and its arrival on June 10th could spark G2-class geomagnetic storms. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

:yes: :boom: :sun: :sunhug:
I felteded it yesterday so then checked Spaceweather last night. :tinhat:
K so I does amember the study from back when it wasn't illegal to does testing on kids. :rofl:
And I really does understand more than you think I does. :pie: I just sees contradictions...and coinkidinkially contraindications :chuckle: ...and massive marketing angles andinformation and misinformation and did I mention fad diets galore? That's the area where I get confused. But it's ok. I don't mind living in a state of confusion... :asilly:
ZA & Matthew are doesing a gut diet where they are eating 30 different vegetables each week to build up the biome. :flex:
She read about it in a Woman's World magazine. :chuckle: Anyway...it sounds pretty harmlos & probably even helpful for both of them as they eat rather 'poorly' (yes, I noes that subjective & even judgmental but I has no other descriptors.
Anyway, when I read about the 'diet' out of curiosity I found it :rofl: & rather simple to does. Herbs count as vegetables...so do grains. Even fruits, seeds & nuts. :rofl:
From just one article:
If 30 sounds like a lot, you'll be pleased to hear: It's not just fruits and veggies that count.
You can include grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices, too
https://zoe.com/learn/30-plants-per-week
So a simple pasta like we might have with a side salad could easily contain more than half the weekly challenge amount. :woe:
Anyway... there's always somethin new. :woe:
Oh but get this... Mom has had this rash on her chest for months & months. I think I mentioned it to you way back when.
Anyway she's seen a couple providers, a dermatologist. One thunk ringworm, one thunk hives, one had no clue. Prednisone makes it better but it comes back as soon as she stops. I switched her to Basis soap & a hypoallerginic detergent but still... :woe:
Then a friend of ZA's who is an RN said it looked like eczema & recommended she does an elimination diet of the most common triggers. I says, start with the doof you eat the most of cuz sadly, that's often the cupprit.
End story: She eliminated :egg: first & now the rash is gone! :sparkle: Within one week.
She said she could live without :egg: more easily than she could live without peanuts but she was really hoping it was dairy cuz she doesn't really like it. :chuckle: I told her that once it stays gone awhile she might 'try' just a couple :egg: and see what happens.
She did admit that she'd gotten into a habit of eating a lot of :egg:
:egg: salad, scrambled :egg: sammiches, boiled :egg:
It was simple & satisfying.
K... gonna go make my patented veggie lasagna. :drool: :bliss:

That's not sezing muches :whistle: You is the one who thunked carnivore dieting was the same as keto which is the same as autophagy :woe: and yer dull diligence was some self proclaimed influencer that sez it's just salt :cow: and water :roll: Then of course you seemz to beleebz that cautionary fairy tale about loosing a hunert pounds and gaining 120 back all in one year :woe:
In any event the point to unerstanzing the metabolic processes is afterwards you wont be at the mercy of marketing koolaid sellerz :whistle: Srsly :yes: there are NO diets for losing or gaining weight without :egg: sercise :nono: Ebery weight altering claim is based on a metabolic effect like losing water, fat or muskle :flex: or some combination or all 3. The thang that makes one lifestyle doog or bad is a persons current :electrocute: bodily state and the fuel and nutrients being provided.
The fuel and nutrients are the reactants the results are the products of yer bodies kemystery :om: You Do NOT need to noes the mechanisms to unerstanz the results :nono: However, noesing the mechanisms gives you more tweaking options :cheer:
Right now youse are following recipes for thangs youse THINXZ you wants because you was tolded this by koolaid sellerz :therethere:
For instance durtmomma's chest rash ... yes likely doof related eczema :yes: ... also very likely :egg: s :yes: ... also not un :egg: xpected :nono: espseeshully now as tanassi HELL season gits goesing. Anywho, did any of the doktorz git new blood werk for her? I is still worried about her a1c :uhoh:
Anywho cortisone cream is a TERRIBLE option sure it werks but only by masking the symptoms and thinning already weak skin.
In any event older skin is more susceptible to purty muches EBERYTHANG from :mushrooms: infections to low circulation dryness and slow healing. My guess is that :egg: s were just on the edge of producing an inflammatory response so they did :horror:
FYI: The "inflammatory" effect potential is likely one reason Dr.E sez NO :egg: s :nonono: ... and yeah the cholesterol too :whistle:
One topic I hasn't :blah: :blah: ed about here is inflammaging it's a real-ish thang :yes: kinda likes metabolic syndrome ... it's a catch all poorly defined thang but it is a thang so axe Mr.Google :oz:
"ZA & Matthew are doesing a gut diet where they are eating 30 different vegetables each week to build up the biome. :flex: "
And that's how koolaid is marketed to the masses :woe:
How :egg: sactly does this build up the biome ... I'd ask iffen I really wanted to noes :roll:
Well it's certainly an entertaining thought that these different herbs, spices and shrubs come with their own :blob: and :mushrooms: that somehow survive cooking and will setup shop in otherwise unused portions of ones gut :yes: However, fermented doof is a vastly easier option ... now eating fermented sumthin daily or preferably with each meal THAT's a doog idea :thumbs:
Oh like I mentioned afores I'm playing with Bacillus subtilis aka B.subtilis ... which is the :blob: that produces natto and of course nattokinase which like my pineapple {bromelain} and papaya {papain} is a protein eating enzyme. The difference is that in theory taking the B.subtilis as a probiotic means ones body makes their own nattokinase :flex:
Apparently 1 the effects are only noticeable iffen one has issues like high bp or clotting or weak vessels and what not :sigh:
FYI: Natto is that slimy Japanese fermented doof that is supposedly soooo doog for youse BUT is disgusting :yucky:
Has nuf makin yer patented and much feared veggie lasagna :horror: :wave:

Dang you Thursdazed :fist:
Hot AND :cloud: s :gaah:
Oh and I've been cleaning up the server and found this gem from the past :norway:
The Reluctant Kaerf - by Zanna (https://psifly.com/fcn/zanna/rf/rf.html) :wubsigh:
K so where was we ...
According to Mr.Googles AI overview ...
"According to a 2022 study published in JAMA Pediatrics, nearly 30% of US teens and adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 have prediabetes. This is more than double the rate of 12% between 1999 and 2002. ..."
This correlates well with the >70% obese/overweight in the US as well as the 25% to 45% NAFLD :thumbs:
My issue is that the next Straw Man target looks to be "Ultra Processed Doof" {UPFs} :woe:
People always want sumthin to point at and blame ... which is fine :yes: ... but manufacturers of sed UPFs are already pushing for poorly defined definitions that can be werked around and market :carp: but still delicious doof :liplick: at even higher prices :woe:
Srsly it's like the "organic" doof saga all over agin :wall: Even the doof that was ALWAYS organic just added a marketing label and increased the prices. The term doesn't even mean what people thinxz it means but they still pay more. The US still uses the same amount of pesticides and fertilizers as it did since the 80's and yet people don't ask what makes "organic" doof better or more :egg: spensive :roll:
But I digest :drama: ... the main culprit is the misuse/overuse of carbohydrates :no: ... sad but true :therethere: And it really don't matter iffen it's unprocessed, slightly processed or ULTRAsupremely Processed :superman:
K fine tech :nickel: ly fiber is considered "carbs" and sugar alcohols 'can' be considered half carbs :woe: ... fergets that :carp: :buttkick: ... iffen the body converts whatever it is to some form of glucose fuel and it's not protein or oil THOSE are the carbs you need to watch :horror: Iffen the amount ingested is greater than the bodies caloric requirement it can be stored as fat which is nermal and fine :yes:
The problems arise when ones body runs out of storage room AND/OR the bodies engines never git maintenance downtime :therethere:
That's it Whole Doof or Ultra Processed with lubs :wub: organic or not it don't matter :nono: Iffen you overload yer car/body engine AND/OR just run it nonstop with no breaks ... eventually :boom:
People are always looking for the perfect diet :roll: either to loose weight :woe: or just live healthy :bliss: but it don't exist :nono: And no not because eberyone is different neether :nono: People change ... their needs change ... their diet should change with them AND according to siguie's seasonal nutrition and dietetic theory ... a change should occur about ebery 3 months for most :yes:
My thoughts which change without notice :brain: is that realistically EBERYONE is on a doof continuum between carnivore and herbivore. Most should fall somewherez in between {Mediterranean fare :rimshot: } while some lean towards ALL :cow: or shrubbery :treehug:
Presumably this is not a shocking :electrocute: revelation BUT different health issues occur more frequently at different points along the continuum. The other thang to note is that in general the two :egg: tremes :cow: vs :treehug: are the points where the least amount of any "processing" by marketers occur ... doof for thought :hmm2: Also at both ends it becomes difficult to overeat/overnutritionalize :angel:
When one thinxz about it eating more carnivore is what hoomans needed to does during the wynter :shiver: while eating froot and shrubbery is muches easier in the summer. During Fall and Sprang hoomanz had more of a Mediterranean mix option :whistle:
Anywho that's the foundation of siguie's seasonal nutrition and dietetic theory ... add in the :blah: :blah: of engines 1 and 2 and :boom: {insert mic drop emoji}

The Reluctant Kaerf - by Zanna (https://psifly.com/fcn/zanna/rf/rf.html) :wubsigh:
K so where was we ...
According to Mr.Googles AI overview ...
"According to a 2022 study published in JAMA Pediatrics, nearly 30% of US teens and adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 have prediabetes. This is more than double the rate of 12% between 1999 and 2002. ..."
This correlates well with the >70% obese/overweight in the US as well as the 25% to 45% NAFLD :thumbs:
My issue is that the next Straw Man target looks to be "Ultra Processed Doof" {UPFs} :woe:
People always want sumthin to point at and blame ... which is fine :yes: ... but manufacturers of sed UPFs are already pushing for poorly defined definitions that can be werked around and market :carp: but still delicious doof :liplick: at even higher prices :woe:
Srsly it's like the "organic" doof saga all over agin :wall: Even the doof that was ALWAYS organic just added a marketing label and increased the prices. The term doesn't even mean what people thinxz it means but they still pay more. The US still uses the same amount of pesticides and fertilizers as it did since the 80's and yet people don't ask what makes "organic" doof better or more :egg: spensive :roll:
But I digest :drama: ... the main culprit is the misuse/overuse of carbohydrates :no: ... sad but true :therethere: And it really don't matter iffen it's unprocessed, slightly processed or ULTRAsupremely Processed :superman:
K fine tech :nickel: ly fiber is considered "carbs" and sugar alcohols 'can' be considered half carbs :woe: ... fergets that :carp: :buttkick: ... iffen the body converts whatever it is to some form of glucose fuel and it's not protein or oil THOSE are the carbs you need to watch :horror: Iffen the amount ingested is greater than the bodies caloric requirement it can be stored as fat which is nermal and fine :yes:
The problems arise when ones body runs out of storage room AND/OR the bodies engines never git maintenance downtime :therethere:
That's it Whole Doof or Ultra Processed with lubs :wub: organic or not it don't matter :nono: Iffen you overload yer car/body engine AND/OR just run it nonstop with no breaks ... eventually :boom:
People are always looking for the perfect diet :roll: either to loose weight :woe: or just live healthy :bliss: but it don't exist :nono: And no not because eberyone is different neether :nono: People change ... their needs change ... their diet should change with them AND according to siguie's seasonal nutrition and dietetic theory ... a change should occur about ebery 3 months for most :yes:
My thoughts which change without notice :brain: is that realistically EBERYONE is on a doof continuum between carnivore and herbivore. Most should fall somewherez in between {Mediterranean fare :rimshot: } while some lean towards ALL :cow: or shrubbery :treehug:
Presumably this is not a shocking :electrocute: revelation BUT different health issues occur more frequently at different points along the continuum. The other thang to note is that in general the two :egg: tremes :cow: vs :treehug: are the points where the least amount of any "processing" by marketers occur ... doof for thought :hmm2: Also at both ends it becomes difficult to overeat/overnutritionalize :angel:
When one thinxz about it eating more carnivore is what hoomans needed to does during the wynter :shiver: while eating froot and shrubbery is muches easier in the summer. During Fall and Sprang hoomanz had more of a Mediterranean mix option :whistle:
Anywho that's the foundation of siguie's seasonal nutrition and dietetic theory ... add in the :blah: :blah: of engines 1 and 2 and :boom: {insert mic drop emoji}
🎤 :boom: almost :darn:

Mic drop emoji... :hysterical:
K, fine, yeah, :whatever:
:bsl:
First, :no: I neber thunk carnivore = keto = autophagy. I noes one can does a vegan keto tho it's quite challenging.
I did at one time think that a state of ketosis such as what J was in often when she was little & had absoprption issues (I kilt that spellage :rofl: ) was the same as autophagy but someone :sigster: straightened me out.
And the lost 100 pounds in a year & then gained back 120 in 6 months or so is not a :enorah: tale cuz I noes the lady. :yes: Her name is Jill & she's an RN who now manages pharmacy. :p Anyway, she was strict keto (counting carbs religiously) for a year when she losted the weight but when she eased just a little the weight came tumbling back. The pharmacist whom she works for told her that maybe some people are just not meant to be thin. :chuckle: For realz tho all her labs are good & her health appears strong, she just carries a lot of weight.
She is the reason ZA will not even consider a keto trial.
So carbs.... :yesss: But sugar in particular. :pie: Peoples here drink sweet tea & Mountain Dew by the gallons. :uhoh:
And much of the UPFs are llloaded with extra sugars.
And yes, I noes sugar in & of itself is not dangerous :whatever: but that's for reasonable peoples who have a :balance: in their lives.
:balance: of doof & beverages as well as exercise/movement.
Sedentation is a bigger factor for kids. They don't play outside any more. :nonono: They don't ride bikes or swim or do anything much other than sit and play games. This has been increasing since the initial invention of Gameboys & the likes & now a full array of electronic entertainmentage. :yes:
But you're late to the party. They are already attacking UPFs. And continually differentiating between 'good' processed doof (like oats or even certain cereals) & 'bad' (like Lucky Charms & Captain Crunch :hysterical:) . Just one simple example but I see it everywhere.
For reals, I think you'd be quite shocked at how large the majority of peoples around here are. Mostly kids through 50s. Seems the older generations have less body mass for some reason (I think it's cuz they still eat mostly 'real' doof. :p )
Oh & MOm was not given cortisone cream...it was prednisone packs such as what they prescribe for poison ivy, et al. A decreasingly graduating 7 day pack that I instructed her to take less of for less time & save the rest. (She liked the energy boost :chuckle: ) Just a couple days would clear it up but it would be back within a week. :yes:
The :heat: is now here. :yes: 90s forevemore. :woe:

"First, :no: I neber thunk carnivore = keto = autophagy. I noes one can does a vegan keto tho it's quite challenging. "
Um yeah basically you did it's why I kept sezing ober and ober carnivore is NOT keto and when B was skipping a meal you was all autophagy :cheer: ... :woe:
And the vegan keto was the thang I asplained as likely what the Dr.E protocol was doesing to youse :oz:
"Anyway, she was strict keto (counting carbs religiously) for a year when she losted the weight ..."
:woe: :horn: That's NOT "keto" it's just some stoopid low carb diet being proclaimed as keto :wall:
:hello: Ketosis is NOT a diet it's a metabolic state. There are NO "Keto Foods" only doof marketed as such to make monies. There are keto friendly options but these are just doof ffuts that generally wont :buttkick: a person out of ketosis when eating a "real" serving.
You can be in ketosis eating only :cow: only :arugula: or even only :pizza: and :fries: ... it don't really matter as long as you unerstanz YOUR bodies carb usage rates :angel:
The ONLY way to noes you is in keto is by :check: ing blood ketone levelz either by :peepants: test strips, ketone blood :suck: test kits OR via a ketone breathalyzer.
The blood :suck: strips are the most accurate and is a lot like glucose :check: 'cept each test costs about a $1 and it gits :egg: spensive :horror: The :peepants: test strips are cheaper but only last a month after opening and require that whole :peepants: thang and I really wasn't inerested in goesing that route :nonono: SO ... :whatever: ... I opted for the least accurate BUT also most sensitive :wub: breathalyzer system. Specifically one with a PPM scale :thumbs:
"And the lost 100 pounds in a year & then gained back 120 in 6 months or so is not a :enorah: tale cuz I noes the lady. :yes: "
Yeah well afores it was she lost a hunert pounds and gained back 120 ALL in a year. Still srsly one pound of fat is 3,500 calories call it 4,000 conservatively accounting for conversion inefficiency. And lets say 20lbs is water so she only gained 100 pounds fat. That's 400,000 calories in 6 months {180 days} or 2200 calories a day STORED. In other wurdz she needed to eat atleast 2200 calories above and beyond her regular 2000 daily calories.
I'm not saying her cautionary :enorah: tale is not possible but to lose 100 pounds in a year is one thang but to gain 120lbs in 6 months :roll: and to not recognize sumthin is wrong after the first 60lbs :bump: :woe:
I neber sed nuthin 'cuz I was trying to be nice AND most peoplez do not unerstanz keto :nono: BUT someone in that story is an idiot. :roll:
The "keto diet" is any diet that puts the body in a state of ketosis and that's it :yes: Calorie counting isn't really a thang 'cept to have an approximate idea of when engine #1 will run out of fuel and #2 will kick in :angel:
"But you're late to the party. They are already attacking UPFs. And continually differentiating between 'good' processed doof (like oats or even certain cereals) & 'bad' (like Lucky Charms & Captain Crunch :hysterical:) . Just one simple example but I see it everywhere. "
Nope I'm right on time :yes: AND that's the point there really aren't any doog or bad UPFs :nono: even oatmeal is loaded with oxalates and too muches can both deplete nutrients while spiking insulin :no:
In any event it's just marketing ... hoomanz evolved to eat whatever BUT also to preferentially seek out carbs. Iffen you follows the research of natives in undeveloped countries you will see they noes what they need to git in order to survive BUT iffen you ask them for their favourite doof it's ALWAYS Honey followed by froots 'n berries ... and the last will be starchy tubers and finally meat :cow:
:cow: is the thang they eat to survive and are just used to hasing as hunter gatherers BUT the doof they seek out and most prize is sweets :angel:
Of course the reason these cultures have no obesity or :heart: issues is 'cuz sweet doof is rare, hard to git and typically only available a few months of the year :drama:
"For reals, I think you'd be quite shocked at how large the majority of peoples around here are. ..."
Nope not really :nono: KalipHorniya is one of the healthiest states and our obesity level is about 1/3 of tanassi which is nigh 50% and that does not include just the overweight :nono:
Oh age related weight loss is very common and has more to does with a persons body not absorbing doof as well PLUS sarcopenia etc.
"Sedentation is a bigger factor for kids."
Um kinda depends on what you mean by bigger factor :scratch: They are less likely to die from inactivity that older hoomanz but they will always be below their potential and thus have a um shorter downhill journey when they is older :whistle:
Anywho people mess up :egg: sercise benefits as much as nutrition :yes: The healthiest long liveded individuals are the ones who git regular low to moderate physical activity daily with only a small and relatively short amount of "vigorous activity" per week. I thinxz the ideal amount was 20 to 30 minutes of vigorous activity per week and 2h was the point where the benefits became negative :scratch:
In any event hoomanz weren't designed to have big muskles or :run: fast and killz thangs with their hands :nono: We is slooow long endurance types that wear down their prey and :club: them when they is too weak to fight back ... srsly :yes:
"Oh & MOm was not given cortisone cream...it was prednisone ..."
:woe: Oh doog so just a different corticosteroid that's approximately 4 timez worser :roll:
K so a quick recap from the past ... I thinxz you gotted confuseded :wha: when I said durtmomma and ZA could benefit from goesing keto for a week AND that it could be relatively easy from carnivore {more ketovore really} :yes:
Yes, I noes you reflexively point out the stoopid nurse :enorah: tale and there's no way either would eber does it :blah: :blah: :whatever:
Thang is it's still true :yes: both would/could benefit :yes: espeeshully with durtmomma taking the Corticosteroid bus route :horror:
In other newses ...
Dang it's HOT :frantic: and even worser KALE :no: but wait it gits worserer ... there is "fresh" ready to be harvested kale in the veggie jails that need harvesting :horror:

Dang that was HOT :heat:
Kale night SUCCESS :cheer: and as :egg: pected :cloud: s :gaah:
K so I was wunderin how to make ketosis easier to unerstanz :hmm2: so I thunked how about this ... Glycolysis is the opposite or rather the engine #1 metabolic pathway while Ketosis is the metabolic pathway for engine #2.
The term keto is often used as a dietary or lifestyle eating system like vegetarian or carnivore etc. BUT that's not the proper use :nono: Keto is just the metabolic pathway. It's a dietary lifestyle when you try to never be out of ketosis. Diabetics like ghostghurl do this to avoid hasing to deal with insulin and high blood sugar problems.
Carbivores and the majority of American diet practitioners are in Glycolysis ALL of the time and would be the equivalent of being on a Glyco diet.
The point ... when you say someone is on a pemmican, paleo, WTFPB, Mediterranean ... whatever diet ... you don't just say it's a Glyco diet even though they ALL are purty muches :yes:
This is why saying someone is on a keto diet doesn't really mean anything ... atleast not to the people who unerstanz what the wurdz mean :nono:
Here's the relevant point Dr.E's protocol is a Glyco diet protocol 'cuz there's not enough oil for the body to run on ketosis from the doof being consumed :nono: also there's only plant based carbs for fuel and woefully low amounts of plant proteins BUT this does NOT mean a persons body cannot go into ketosis :nono:
Flipping from glyco to keto is called metabolic switching and it happens when a person runs out of available glycogen AND there's no more carbs being digested AND insulin levelz drop low enough to allow ketosis to happen :wiggle:
On Dr.E's protocol youse and B espeeshully prolly went through this but NOT because of the doof you was eating but rather the doof you wasn't eating :nono: The ketosis occurred in a way similar to what happens when a person fasts for more than 3 days ... though for some it can take muches longer. It's the body fat that is used as fuel and begins the keto engine cycle.
Dr.E's protocol IS still glycolytic BUT as long as there's body fat available ketosis is still involved in this situation which is referred to as a Fasting Mimicking condition. Eventually ones biome :blob: :mushrooms: adapt and the diet transitions to more strictly glyco OR you learn to eat more OR you run out of body fat and start losing muskle :horror:
Then of course the main point of POINTS neither keto nor glyco are really "diets" they are just the two metabolic states the body uses to produce energy :electrocute: Both are tweakable and necessary AND both werk continuously on idle levelz but Glycolysis is ALWAYS preferred when glucose/carb fuels are present :angel:
Other than that neither is betterer or worserer for gaining or losing weight :nono: Also no doof/fuel source whether whole, minimally processed or ultra superlatively processed is doog or bad :nono: The thang that makes ones choice doog/bad depends on the current bodily condition and how whatever is eaten effects sed condition.
FYI: weight is a stoopid nigh useless metric :roll: it only has value when used in conjunction with sumthin else and that else is almost always a poorly informed opinion :unthumbs:
Anywho, in addition to kale :yucky: with :egg: s tomatoes, red onions and :mushrooms: I had big slice of :pie: and for dessert a slice of :eip: 'cuz dad must always have :Pie: choices :yes: it's a siguie clan thang :matt:

You ate :mushrooms: ? :no: :no:
:bsl:
And harvesting kale is trivially easy. :pie: Washing said kale is more tedious.
Even in this heat I has some kale I might harvest. :dunno: Gotta check it out cuz sometimes when it gets hot there are more bugs than I want to deal with. :chuckle: And sometimes it's just too leathery. :yucky:
We mowed our :butt: s off all weekend. :yes: Stayed very well hydrated & handled the :heat: quite well. :wig: :gle:
So we're glyco :happydance: The next buzzword to be. :rofl:
And I doesn't know the specifics of Jill's keto-ing tho I does know she's quite the geeky sort so I'd bet she tested one way or another. :righton: But it doesn't matter other than it adversely inflluenced Mom & ZA for life.
Mom's stance is 'I'm nearly 81 years old & I've earned the right to eat what I want cuz I don't have many years left anyway.'.
My stance is 'I want to feel as good as possible & be as healthy as possible for as long as possible so I'll eat whatever it takes to help me achieve those goals.'.
Mom says, 'Fried catfish makes me feels good'.
:woe:
Not verbatim, but that is the gist of our conversations around the subject of diet. :rofl:
Amember when my grandfather, Buddy, ate McD's :burger: , :fries: , and Coke every single day for prolly 10 years? :faint:
And in the later years, when his dementia was worserer, he ate :burger: and :fries: every time he & Miss Melba went out to eat anywhere. She thunk it was becuz he has trouble understanding the menu so he'd just order the familiar.... burger & fries.
So I'ze saying it's hereditary. :bsl:
Tho I have more GR qualities. GR = Gene Resistance :spitcoffee:

Yes :yes: iffen you harvest the whole thang at once with a properly sharpened sickle but noooo I has to harvest using :wheee: little pruners and only the outer leaves at the base in an overly OVERLY crowded veggie jail WITH :sun: cover deployed and humidity sprayerz ON :gaah:

:yes: The :earth: ffuts is velly velly intewesting. :rabbit:
Tho I did hafta read a bit on Earthing cuz that's a newer term & I really did not know the asplination, as you sed. :p
So it's grounding. :faint:
But ya see, I never thunk of grounding in an :electrocute: way nor did I even consider any kinds of electromagnetic currents when it came to grounding. To me, it was/is more like the Earth absorbing MY excess, pent up energies.
But separately, I DO very much feel the different energetics of different :earth: areas.
Like in the Smoky Mountains....where tons & tons of quartz & gemstones are buried (naturally) I feel the buzzzzzz from the outer regions of the mountains & then I feels them increasing all the way up the mountainside.
Tho I felt the same in the Rockies & I noes nothing about the geology of that area so maybe it's merely the altitude? :scratch:
Anyway... as I've said many times before this place here is a high vibrating :earth: spot.
And before I thunk it due to the proximity of ley lines but now I think there is more to it than that. :yes:
Maybe it's all the water underground. :yes: An energy reader friend once said she picked up on a very strong dolphin energy here. :huh: But there is also held energy from pastenstances. (That's past happenstances :p ). Supposedly the arrowheads we've found are as much as 5000 years old. :crazyeyes:
Anyway, I believe the :earth: absorbs & holds energies until Nature decides it's time to cleanse such energies by way of doolf, :campfire: , :twister: , :quake: , et al.
I sawed the article you linked about the charged rocks & ffuts & I was not at all surprised. :nonono:
I know how everything glows here after a doog :rain:
Not sure how this fits into your positives & negatives & :electrocute: ional but it's what wanted to come out.
Earth (land mass), animals & plants are receivers. (Most) People & water & electronics/machinery are senders.
But...we all also receive AND send. Ideally.
That's my simple esplanation. :balance:
But I sez MOST peoples cuz I am a receiver as well. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: Maybe it's the ei in :leisa: that makes me that way. :eip: :bsl:
So I has had to learn (& keep learning) how to 'discharge' so my body doesn't stay borked. :yes:
And that takes us back to 'grounding'.
:b: has created the most spectacular healing place for us all & he doesn't even really quite realize it.
I sit here now surrounded by blooming pots & hanging baskets, overlooking garden after garden full of...
brown-eyed susans, gaillardia, coreopsis, hydrangeas, lillies, roses, marigolds, yarrow, milkweed, butterfly bushes, flox, chaste bushes, echinacea, lemon balm, hollyhocks, 4 o'clocks, dianthus, rudbeckia...and that's just what I am actually seeing planted in the earth. My apologies to whomever I neglected to mention. :hugs: :flower:
The toof regrowing ffuts is super cool! :righton: The co-founder is Katsu. Is he named after the sauce or is the sauce named after him? :chuckle:
Also... I did know that Buddy's overabundance of :burger: and :fries: was making him worserer & so did Zen Aunt...likely.
But nobody was gonna force him to does otherwise. :sigh: Amember me :bawling: in Zanna? about making :burger: for him & contributing to his demise? I amember :enorah: telling me something to the effect of...sometimes you just hafta do what you hafta do and it's not your fault. (for once, not my fault :nana: ). He also had blood sugar of 400+ & never once took insulin.
Right or wrong it was the way of my people & he lived to the age of 91 in spite of it all. :huh:
My grandmother (same familial line) was 4'10" and weighed 220+ pounds. Yeah, weight doesn't matter. :whatever:
She said she was gonna eat what she wanted & die happy. :sigh: She died at 67...not happy cuz of CHF & chronic bronchitis/emphysema. Basically she suffocated herself to death. :sigh:
Nevertheless... I am a chain breaker. :shera: A cycle buster. A genetical denier. :chuckle: I will not go the way of my people. :no:

Speaken of SpaceWeather ... coinkadinkally this is todays email :wiggle: ...
It will change tomorrow :choir: but the rest of the asplination is at spaceweather.com :oz:
Anywho yer knuckleheaded asplination aside :roll: there's a nermal :electrocute: potential difference with altitude with the ionosphere regularly about 250kV above ground which is set as Zero. It is actually possible to simply raise a wire up that high to capture sed energies :electrocute: and there are many youtuberz who have done this with drones and built :wheee: spiny machines :yes:
But like yer :blah: :blah: :blah: no supporting evidence ill :logic: al asplination has nuthin to does with what I was sezing :nono:
The hooman body runs on :electrocute: kemikill reactions which require specific voltages and potentials. Like the potassium and calcium channels with their 40mv to 70mv-ish potential trigger states. After which you git cascade effects ... chaos ensues and muskelz moove :flex: 'n :carp: happens. Anywho ask Mr.Google about the phyzix of "grounded conducting spheres" 'cuz that rudimentary phyzix is kinda where to start :yes:
The bits that might be the grounding feelz :vibes: is when a person stores or gains an :electrocute: charge relative to the :earth: This is sumthin you can actually measure with a multimeter and is generally the triboelectric effect from moovin around BUT there are other ways to change ones :electrocute: potential :yes:
The question is does this non-grounded charge potential have any physiological effect. It should has a biological effect BUT is it sumthin noticeable and or sumthin that is not easily identified from a cause and effect standpoint :hmm2:
Anywho, like sooo many thangs I'm not a doog candidate :sigh: fer realz siguie manor is magnetic chaos incarnate :vibes: but :electrocute: fields :sebiv: are pretty much ALL grounded out now :bawling: Thinxz of it like nitric oxide ... now that I noes I want to play with it ... unknowingly I accidentally took me out of the ranges for playing :gaah:
In any event this isn't rocket :brain: surgery :nono: with a multimeter you can :check: ones voltage, plug into a grounded socket then measure the new voltage which should be closer to zero. The problem is any physiological symptoms would require a doog deal of time to show since the charge variance is soooo low which makes minions unsuitable test subjects :pullhair:
Anywho the hydrogen water thang where H2 is essentially a reducing agent might make sensicalz with this very slight :electrocute: change in a :balance: kinda way :wiggle:
That's why I thunked you might be inerested in the whole grounding :woo: thang :yes: also being able to sense :electrocute: field :vibes: is a noed thang which makes more sensicalz than completely uindefined :woo: NRGeez sensing :woe:

Why define the undefinable? :namaste:
All I noes is that the May 10 event knocked my heart rhythm out of rhythm. :rimshot:
And I noes that in times like now (Solstice! :wtf: ) myentire body feels quivery/vibratory/buzzy on the insides, especially noticeable in the limbs & when at rest. It's an accumulation of energy in my body :wtf: . And this, I just :sparkle: know :sparkle:
I didn't always knows this as for years I thunk I had true medical conditionalities. :chuckle: Anyway...when the energy does not move it gets stuck & then I has pain. Chronic pain as I had many years ago. But also too much of the energies cause me to be extraordinarily tired. :splat:
Yoga & Nature keep me 'grounded' and feeling doog. Water is especially helpful at times, too.
I doesn't need gauges or oximeters or test strips or test tubes or any other systems of measurement to tells me what I already
:sparkle: know :sparkle:
I love it when psyence backs up my 'feels' but I no longer need validation nor verification. I just need to continue to pay attention to what I feels & then bob & weave accordingly. :bsl:
It's an absolutely gorgeous day out here & I am hasing a hard time getting up to go inside to vacuum & mop. :bsl:

Ooooh nice :thumbs: way to completely miss the point :hi5:
It's not about telling you what you already noes it's about figuring out what you obliviously don't noes :buttkick:
Not to mention werken out what iffen anythin it's doog for as well iffen it's werth incorporating into a treatment plan either alone or in conjunction with real medical :carp: :oz:
Besides thinxz about it YOUSE claims :earth: ing as a thang that werks for you but you feelz the need to goes into the durt :horror: Does you has any knowledge of whether grounding mats werk?

Also these "subtle energy" thangs may or may not have relation to bigger and better thangs to mess with :cheer: For instance acupuncture ... it shows psighentistaclly valid effects and you can even show lines of "conductivity" { :secret: lower resistance } paths in the skin :yes: but that's when an :electrocute: probe is used which may or may not be the same as :woo: NRGeez flowing along the m meridians.

Also thinxz about it what iffen :earth: ing is ALL that durtmomma, ZA or even Mathew needs for better health and longer lives :cheer:
In any event the one thang I noes for sure is that the asplinations of how/why grounding werks is stoopid and wrong :woe: The thang to note is that this doesn't mean it don't werk :nono: It's like colloidal silver where in the beginning some knucklehead suggested silver somehow interfered with an anaerobic enzyme :woe: then for decades that was the official asplination :wall: SOoooo obliviously wrong :gaah:

In any event the one thang I noes for sure is that the asplinations of how/why grounding werks is stoopid and wrong :woe: The thang to note is that this doesn't mean it don't werk :nono: It's like colloidal silver where in the beginning some knucklehead suggested silver somehow interfered with an anaerobic enzyme :woe: then for decades that was the official asplination :wall: SOoooo obliviously wrong :gaah:
Anywho the same is true for grounding :woo: there's very likely an effect :yes: and the officially accepted asplinations are just horribly wrong :horror:

I don't know anything about any official asplinations cuz as I said afores I had to google 'earthing'. :crazyeyes:
I just noes what I noes. What I'ze picked up over the years from here, there & everywhere. And what resonates...sticks.
But I does know that weak does not equal sensitive. :nonono: Sensitive, as in me, is axshully a superpower :superman: And I is stronger (not in physical strength but in overall constitution) than most. :shera: I get borked, as in autoimmunity :chuckle: or thyroid (same difference) or arrhythmia...but then I gets to heals the borkedness. Most non-thenthitive peoples would do as I done did when I was young & just follow the medical guidance & take their not-happy pills foreber. :yes: And ultimately get borkeder.
Now elderly...disabled... :yes: But they are not often sensitive. :nonono:
Anyway... you do you, :sig:
I'll do me :flowerom:
And together we shall hopefully find :balance:
:dweebus:
It's Solstice! :sparkle: Exact at 3:50 :elvis: time.
I gots :flowerom: to do...

"But I does know that weak does not equal sensitive. :nonono: ..."
:woe: yes it does :yes: yer too senthitive :buttkick: and ya makes eberythang about youse :gaah:
A wound is sensitive 'cuz it's a damaged {weak} area ... elderly are often sensitive due to illness or age related debilitation. Also the key wurd I used was WEAK ... iffen someone is weak it's a politeness to sez sensitive ... like a person who is old and frail and cannot handle the :shiver: the polite thang to sez is they is sensitive to the cold :therethere:
Also sensitive don't even mean what you thinxz in psighence :buttkick:
Accuracy, precission and sensitivity are the 3 thangs mugglez like youse are always messing up :pullhair: and for medically ffuts specificity too :gaah:
Srsly :yes: in the non- :hippy: :earth: that wurd don't mean what you thinxz it does :therethere:
Anywho has a look at The effects of grounding (earthing) on inflammation, the immune response, wound healing, and prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/) ... just scroll down and look at the pikture of the 84 year old womans diabetic foot ulcer :horror:
Thang is I noes colloidal silver, red light photobiomodulation, and electromagnetic :vibes: can induce wound healing BUT more importantly I also noes electrotherapy :electrocute: can does this :yes: What makes this particularly inerestin is that this papers case is essentially the opposite of electrotherapy it's literally grounding :rimshot:
Here's an electrotherapy blurb from Mr.Google's AI ...
So here's the thang ... nermally the injury current is was what directs cells to goes and does whatever. Perhaps some sensitive people ... solly I mean WEAK ... need a :bump: OR my thought which is ready to be changed at any moment :hmm2: ... perhaps draining the :electrocute: accumulation on a persons body is enough to let the cells find each other agin :dunno: It might also asplain why some with MS :egg: sperience symptom relief when grounding :dunno:
Personally I thinxz it's easier to use light, :electrocute: stimulation or just magnet :vibes: BUT perchance this does sumthin elses :dunno:
In any event this is easy enough to try :yes: I has a bunch of antistatic wristbands and clips PLUS I has some leftover copper mesh so I'm thinking of adding a :wheee: bit of grounding to Dad's bed :yes: I'd does my bed but it already is grounded AND the room is nearly a Faraday cage ...

Here's an electrotherapy blurb from Mr.Google's AI ...
QuoteElectrical stimulation, also known as electrotherapy, can help wounds heal faster by guiding cells to the wound and improving the body's natural healing process:
Cell guidance
Skin cells are electrotactic, meaning they move in the direction of an electric field. When the body is wounded, the electrical field under the skin changes direction, perpendicular to the skin, which signals cells to rush to the wound. This can help attract immune cells and skin cells to the wound, and encourage fibroblast activity.
Natural healing process
The body naturally generates an ionic current called the "Current of Injury" towards a wound site, which can help modulate the healing process. Electrical stimulation can increase this current, which can improve wound oxygenation, increase capillary density and perfusion, and limit inflammation.
Other benefits
Electrical stimulation can also control bacterial growth, induce angiogenesis, and encourage keratinocyte activity.
So here's the thang ... nermally the injury current is was what directs cells to goes and does whatever.

Also on this side of the hill it's 80's :horror:

Yeah I gots nuthin :ashamed: :slowday:
Oh one :book: a minion was rather happy with a computer I handed him last week. He was complaining about winDOHz taking sooo long to boot when he's using a computer for his home entertainment system. So I asplained ffuts and made him a Chrome OS Flex system from an old laptop. Anywho it werked great as an HTPC but his wife liked it so muches she ended up taking it and he was asking about buying another one just like it :yes:
I had a moment thinxzing to myself ... is this idiot trying to punk me OR is he really that stoopid :scratch: Unfortunately it's the later :sigh: So I asplained it to him ... that computer was the one he gave me last year on account it was too sloooow and :carp: ing out all the time :woe:
Anywho I always has a pile of laptops that need a little sumthin sumthin so I'll just give him another Chrome OS Flex system :yes: Thang is I keeps telling people that Chrome Books are by far the bestest :boom: for the buck :yes: It's also all that most people really need :yes:
Laptops generally last around 5 years so most of what I gots in the pile is 5 to 10 years old but iffen you replace the drive with a small/cheap SSD then install Chrome OS Flex ... that ye olde laptop is basically equal to or better than a new chromebook :yes: The main difference is size and weight ... chromebooks are slim, trim and sexy :boobs: Older laptops converted to OS Flex are best kept plugged in and in one place :oz:

I don't amember how long I'ze had this Chromebook cuz time is totally driew any more. :chuckle: I'm guessing 5 years, minimum.
And it still operates just like it once did. :righton: The battry doesn't last quite as long but it still is better than any laptop I ever had. When it was new the battry would last 2 days. Now it's most of a day tho admittedly I watch far more videos than I did back then thanks to :run: internets.
And this: perhaps draining the :electrocute: accumulation on a persons body is enough to let the cells find each other agin
That sounds like something I woulda thunk. :hi5: I'm rubbing off on you at last. :muaha: :asilly: :bsl:
But yes, the wound healing is quite impressive. And now it's got me thinking that it's the same :vibes: kinda thing as reiki or other energy transference. :sebiv: I noes I told you about how Spirit was healed from the snakebite oh so many years ago.
But for the record. :book:
Spirit, the big yelllow cat who was weak (FIV+ :nana: ) was bitten by a snake when we lived in Louisville.
I didn't know what was wrong with him at first other than he found B's open sock drawer & slept in there for nearly 2 days.
At first I thunk he'd sleep it off (he was a healer :angel: :cat: ) and after 24 hours or so of him not moving I got him out & found the horrific-looking wound on his head. It was raw, swollen, red, fang marks clearly visible & all the hair was gone from around the area. I vividly remember holding him in my arms (J was asleep, B at work) & with tears streaming down my face I held my hand over the wound and sent him all the healing :vibes: I could muster & then some. :shera: Fwiw, I'd taken Reiki 1 at that point.
After holding his nearly lifelos body for awhile I put him back in the drawer where he'd been comfortable.
The next day he got up looking for food. :huh:
I picked him up to examine & the wound was gone. :missing: :faint: And most amazingly, the hair had already started growing back. :angel: :choir:
It was a pivotal moment for me cuz first, I was amazed & thrilled at the :magic:
But secondly, it reaffirmed how I've always thunk that healing oughta happen. :yes:
And then third, a whole lotta frustration & aggravation cuz I couldn't figger out why I could not heal like that all the time. :sigh:
It was like being given a gift then quickly having it taken away. :bawling:
But now I noes that it was our combined energies & that Spirit wasn't ready to leave just yet. He had lots more to teach me. :sigh: (He's the one who brought me a skinned, barely alive rabbit. And a live snake in the house. Twice. :eek: He helped me overcome a whole lotta fear :wub: )
But I digress.
It's the same :electrocute: energy! Basically. :asilly:
Anyway...sorry I missed kale nights. :yes: We gotted sucked into the abyss for a widdle bit.
Thurzdaze afternoon instead of mowing we took Spanky to the vet expecting the worst cuz he was a snotty mess & was hasing trouble breathing. :sigh: I'd been :cs: ing & homeopathing but he continued to get worserer. He's one of the Next Gens. Just 7 years old. And the sweetest, gentlest soul of all...much like the late Scooby Doo. :wub:
The vet said it was an upper respiratory infection & gave him an antibiotic injection & a tiny dose of steroid.
He perked up almost immediately & dried up by the next day. :cheer: :gheart:
Then Friday was chiropractor (I'm firing her but that's another :book: ) then Martin errand day THEN mowing Mom's yard cuz we missed Thurzdaze. :chuckle:
Saturday we mowed early cuz it's so dang hot & then we wented to Jackson. :elfparty:
Sunday we mowed again & then had to go get a Sneaux Cone from B's boss's new doof truck. His last name is Breaux. :rofl:
And then to Paris & home to make dinger & watch Despicable Me (we'd never seen any of them :ashamed: )
Yesterday... I dunno even where yesterday went. :hysterical: I was in a fog all day, a true twilight zone kinda energy. :crazyeyes:
Oh I does amember I spent the morning with online chiropractors :chuckle: doesing neck exercises. :yes: They worked much better than my part-time chiro girl. :yes:
Today... well J wants me to help her paint. And since it's apposta be 96 with a heat index of 110ish... I'll likely do just that. :wig: :gle:
60-ish :shiver:

Well. :wiggle:
I got nothin. :bsl:
Sitting on the veranda as cool :blowme: is moving in with possible :rain:
The radar shows it sliding around us & dissipating a bit but likely we'll get more afore the entire system passes by. :umbrella:
S'ok. We were about to axshully get dry. :no:
And yeah... a real summer here for the first time in 10 years or more. :faint: We're projected to be just slightly above lamron.
Great Lakes & New England regions are projected to be considerably above lamron. :gheart:
You so very much misinterpreted the Spirit story. :sigh: Thing is/was that the wound healed as if there had never been a wound almost immediately. Lamron healing does not happen that quickly. :p
Kinda same way puppy :ococ: went from death's door to bouncing around overnight when she had parvo. :yes:
S'ok. You would esplain away a miracle even if it bit you in the :butt:
As for Spanky... he's great. :shera: The super seniors notsomuch. :sigh: But as per the past 2 years they go down...then they bounce back. Only to do downhill once again. :crazyeyes: One of these days they shall not bounce back. Jacki just wants Stripes (her cat) to live until her 18th birthday. I dunno why that matters but it does to Jacks. :dunno: Stripes has moved out of her room which has relieved me of the near daily bedding washing, but now she's taken to sleeping on the old laptop which powers a slide show. They keyboard is covered with a baking sheet & that's where she sleeps. She pees on my chair...or sometimes Butch's...and both chairs stay covered with shower liners & puppy pads on top. It ain't glamorous, but it's life. For now. :sigh:
All 3 of them walk like newborn foals and their claws get hung up in everything. :sigh: I've filed & trimmed as much as I can to help them.
But they still want a lap whenever we sit & they seem to be comfortable & oftentimes eat like little horses. (pey, their thyroids may be speededed).
Swami, who's just 11, but large & 'different', seems to be slowing down considerably as well. :sigh:
Truly, it's a nursing home for cats & a Cookie now. :gheart:
I am stunned at how well Cookie healed from the snakebite cuz she is obese, elderly & far from the picture of health. :crazyeyes:
They'ze tough critters. :chuckle: :shera:

"S'ok. You would esplain away a miracle even if it bit you in the :butt: "
Miracles happen for a reason :yes: a psighentistical one and I likes figuring that out :cheer:
"And yeah... a real summer here for the first time in 10 years or more. :faint: We're projected to be just slightly above lamron."
Tanassi is HELL on :earth: :check: and thangs just gotted worserer :check: & :check: :horror:
"As for Spanky... he's great. :shera: The super seniors notsomuch. :sigh: ..."
Well you could does a grounding mat :wiggle: OR does PEMF aka Pulsed EMF :yesss: pulsed emf :vibes: is the one I noes most about and it's a doog one for reknitting bones when thangs stall out :thumbs: It also doubles the healing rate AND is FDA approveded :thumbs:
It's just stoopid :egg: spensive :gaah: so naturally I've made a few of my own just run a pulsed frequency :electrocute: through some coils and :boom: With a :wheee: bit of noes how you can even does trancranial :sebiv: :brain: ffuts but you need a lot of copper to handle a big :electrocute: :bump: so again pricey :sigh:
Oh and I fergetted but I gotted this ...
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/groundingdata.png)
Basically when near an outlet with a Wyze smate plug my induced/stored :electrocute: potential is ~6.5V but from the image shown on my meter it appears to be 0.445V BUT at a 0.059 kHz frequency aka 60Hz ... so yeah US outlet frequency :wiggle:
Thang is there is a ~6V potential :bump: but the AC component is only 0.445V
Using a grounding mat drops eberything below 0.1V but my electronics anti-static wristband which has an inline 1M Ohm resistor drops eberythang to a flat Zero. Interestingly the grounding mat plugged into the house ground still shows the 60Hz frequenct :vibes: even at or below 0.1V
My :electrocute: drain in the back which is a metal rod I drove into the durt and not wired to the mains does not show nuthin AND werks better than the home ground. In other wurdz there could be sumthin to the ground noise claims though purty unlikely unless someone is srsly out of :balance: and or sensitive to that kinda thang :sebiv:
Anywho the grounding mats do seem to werk BUT the bestest and cheapest :boom: for the $$$ is a doog anti-static wristband ~$6 though mine is $2 or $3 from years agoes :oz:
FYI: I added a magnetic quick release to mine 8) that way iffen/when I fergetz to disconnect I don't drop my HOT soldering iron on the floor no morez :nono: Also prolly an option for using a grounding band in bed :dunno:
Anywho, there could be sumthin to the grounding :carp: :yes: AND it might even help asplain yer :woo: feelinz :yes: ... maybe :whistle:
In other newses ...
This is the one I've been documenting :cheer: ya noes back when there weren't :cloud: s or fog EBERY single night :gaah: :pullhair:
Miracles happen for a reason :yes: a psighentistical one and I likes figuring that out :cheer:
"And yeah... a real summer here for the first time in 10 years or more. :faint: We're projected to be just slightly above lamron."
Tanassi is HELL on :earth: :check: and thangs just gotted worserer :check: & :check: :horror:
"As for Spanky... he's great. :shera: The super seniors notsomuch. :sigh: ..."
Well you could does a grounding mat :wiggle: OR does PEMF aka Pulsed EMF :yesss: pulsed emf :vibes: is the one I noes most about and it's a doog one for reknitting bones when thangs stall out :thumbs: It also doubles the healing rate AND is FDA approveded :thumbs:
It's just stoopid :egg: spensive :gaah: so naturally I've made a few of my own just run a pulsed frequency :electrocute: through some coils and :boom: With a :wheee: bit of noes how you can even does trancranial :sebiv: :brain: ffuts but you need a lot of copper to handle a big :electrocute: :bump: so again pricey :sigh:
Oh and I fergetted but I gotted this ...

Audacity! :spitcoffee:
Amemberz when the Egyptian guy in Mehico referred to my freckles as age spots? :hysterical:
He was selling a light wand, axshully. And he says, "I'm really not sure it will work on all your age spots."
:woe:
I regularly use :cs: in my :flower: water. And obliviously noes to cut the stems. :duh:
Anyway... Biden did go :boom: I felt so bad for him...was sitting there trying to will some life & coherence into him. :sigh:
But he was beat up by trying to follow the other guy's false & nonsensical ramblings in order to try & reply but it was just more than he could take in. So he blinked out. :horror:
'My' internet sighkicks say Biden will win re-election & serve about 2 years before stepping down. :dunno: It sounds plausible to me but golly gee anything could happen any more. I don't worry bout his 'senior moments' as long as he has lots of responsible adults around him. :yes:
The other guy wants to goes full authoritarian tho. :no: I does worry bout him cuz he truly shows signs of dementia & with or without that he won't listen to anybody about anything. :nonono:
Yzarc. :righton:
:b: is on vacay next week again. :happydance: We has no plans other than continued taming of the jungle. :scared: :treehug:

That said the main issue I has with Trump is his belief that he can end the Ukraine conflict BUT to be fair he did manage to pulloff the Abraham Accords :faint: which is kinda phenomenal :clap:

K here's a quick siguie solar obzervatational pikture ...
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/2timez.jpg)
It's an unmodified no enhancements half resolution image BUT there are a lot A LOT of :sun: spots :no:
:secret: you prolly need to click the image for FULL sizing :wiggle:
They is smaller and there are some morez on the western limb that were cut off but DANG there are a bunch like freckles on a tanassi durt :enorah: <= faiery :horror:
Anywho :egg: pect :sunhug: s
:tinhat:
In other newses siguie manor just hit 70°F :no: but the other side of the hill is 91°F and will be between 93°F and 105°F during the week :horror: I already gotted an email from Dad about how I can go ahead and put the AC up in his room like I suggested on preFryday kale night :muaha:

91.4 °F :no:
AND it's only gonna git woroserer :horror:
Cold room kemystery to the rescue :shiver: :bliss:
:yawn: :coffee:
Yeah I gots nuthin but kale night is gonna suck :sigh: First I need to setup Dad's AC THEN I need to harvest kaleTHEN cool off THEN cook dinger THEN cool off :drama:
In other newses yeah I gots nuthin :sigh: we had the nermal June Gloom throughout the weekend so no sky imaging 'cept for the :sun: shot :sigh:
K where was we ...
The Copper :flower: ghurl minion asked an inerestin question about what is too muches copper and how muches zinc to has? :scratch: Oh and how to choose a copper water container :woe: yeah literally like the one I gave out and she is using for :flower: s wasn't a big enough clue :gaah:
The thang is there IS an optimal amount but eberyone is different :drama: so I goes with the {I thinxz :scratch: } NIH numbers 10mg copper per day and 40mg zinc per day as the uppity upper limit that should be safe for most peoplez :yes:
That said most nutritional types recommend a 10:1 Zn to Cu ratio ... which I does NOT agree with :nono: and this is on account of the RDA being about 10mg per day Zinc and roughly 1mg per day Copper.
As mentioned in previous ... k where was we ... episodes the body has mechanisms to retain copper when dietary copper is insufficient BUT no noed mechanisms :egg: sist for Zinc :nono:
That said ... speaken as LiverMan :superman: ... livers in general store a fair amount of copper with :cow: liver being one of the bestest sources of sed mineral though :yucky: tasting. Also the liver is where copper is stored and converted into thangs like ceruloplasmin which is the major copper transporter AND happens to be rather important in iron metabolism BUT more importantly regulates copper :buttkick: ing when there's too muches. :angel:
Basically too muches copper and it goes :bye: in the way of bile. Atleast for a short time a healthy person can actually handle much more than 40mg of copper per day but 40mg seems like a doog number AND it's hard to hit even with siguie brand copper stirring rods. I average between 1mg and 5mg per day over a week BUT most times closer to ~2mg :wiggle: Oh and this is not including doof sources :nono:
For Zinc I likes zinc gummies and take anywherez from 15mg to 50mg per day :oz: yeah I noes 40mg is an upper daily limit but I is :flex:
That said both Zinc and Copper play important roles in the liver :yes: Also yes in the liver Zinc AND Copper are forced to play nice :whip:
Here's the the siguie eye view as I seez thangs ... Zinc is actually most important in the Thymus gland. The liver is a {or THE} key detoxifier while the Thymus as mentioned in previous episodes does the whole immune response thang. What the liver tellz the thymus to killz :guns: it does and iffen the liver sez yo don't killz this it don't :nono: ... mostly ... :whistle:
The thang is Zinc and Copper generally don't play well together :gayfight: AND they are key to that whole communication thang AND the :blah: :blah: goes both ways. Now add in the fact that 25% of US peoplez are deficient in copper and 40% deficient in Zinc AND that's the medical criteria for being deficient and not just subclincal values :nono: Well thangs start making sensicalz :yes:
Anywho I thinxz the US population in general git too little iodine and vit.C ... so iffen I'm right taken with regards to the above ffuts this accounts for a BIG portion of what's wrong :angel: The rest is mostly just carb and insulin resistance related ffuts :oz:
FYI: Shrubbery types tend to have plenty of copper but are generally deficient in Zinc, Omnivores tend to be deficient in both BUT more lower in copper. Inerestinly nose to tail carnivores tend to be doog :yes: carnies that only eat the tasty bits :liplick: slightly low copper :oz:
Anyways I told :flower: ghurl the upper limits, pointed out the scales we has are purty darn accurate and the main issue with copper toxicity begins with nausea :barfy: Oh and that afores copper toxicity kicks in she might notice a loss of taste and smell as well as :afro: which are all characteristics of Zinc deficiency which is hard not to has first since the body can regulate copper but not so muches zinc :nono:

Dad now has a peltier cooler mini fridge in his room AND a new siguie brand Chrome OS Flex laptop thang for his cooled room interwebing needz :wiggle:
Iffen/when the :electrocute: goes out he has ~6h of wifi backup and I showed him where the grid breaker panel was.

There are numerous caveats :uhoh: BUT iffen you has enough battery backup for a UPS then it's doog to goes :thumbs:
In other newses ... the :egg: cessive HEAT warning :frantic: has been :egg: tended thorough the rest of the week :gaah:
Also pre-July 4th police are EBERYWHEREz :uhoh: and the fire guys are on high alert on account of stoopid people with firewerks and stoopid high and dry temps :no:

K so ceruloplasmin copper transporter and all around doog ffuts made in the liver :superman:
Thang is how muches is made in the liver is not just dependent on the amount of available copper there's also the Adrenal Glands talking with the liver regulating the amount being made. The amount of ceruloplasmin is also effected by cortisol and ACTH and likely many other hormones. But noes what else hormone-ish plays with the kidneys {FYI the adrenal glands are like like little Devo kidney hats} ... vitamin D :no:
Anywho long :blah: :blah: short ceruloplasmin is made in the liver but also needs vitamin A and the main stores of vitamin A AND D3 are in Mr.Liver :wub: Too muches of any of those 3 pushes the others out :bye: Like always it's a :balance: :om: some are less balanced than others :zanna:
That said I take a lot A LOT of ascorbic acid {vit.C} which can literally :buttkick: s the copper out of the ceruloplasmin. I also eat a doogly amount of :cow: :turkey: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) etc. Copper is rather important in that whole iron metabolism and :vibes: thang.

K so our temps have just been in the upper 90s. :shiver: But the humidity makes it feel more like 110+. :yes:
And we been out working in it. And going and doesing. :faint:
The week has simply :witchfly: by.
Tooozday was quite inneresting. :yes:
We met with our Tennessee Democratic candidate for senate for lunch. It was an open meet & greet kinda thang. :wiggle:
So B, J & I were the only ones there. Outside of the regional Democratic Party Leader. :huh:
It was poorly advertised & even more poorly set up but really I believe they considered our counties to be 'throw aways'. :sigh:
That is really annoying tho I understandz the strategies.
But the other synchronistic part was that the restaurant is vegan (I've been there...it's Carribean & 7th Day Adventist & not particularly compliant to our diet). But the owner/cook/server's name is Lisa & she is very very sweet. :wub:
But just before our arrival her father & sisters had been hurricaned in the Carribean. :sigh: Not sure which island but they took a direct hit & she was not able to get in touch with them.
So lunch took over an hour to be served (she made it all from scratch & dishes came out slowly...one at a time) as she openly stated that she was extremely distracted & having a hard time getting it together.
So for 2+ hours we sat with Gloria & 3 staffers and one of the staffers, a young girl from Memphis, anyway...she & I did much of the talking. She was :rofl: And interesting. She's a city girl living only in Memphis & NYC. She was :excited: cuz she'd seen her first Amish buggy on the road. :rofl: And had never seen so many trees & so much 'empty spaces' in all her young life. :laugh:
Then we went to Jackson. For eyeglasses for :b: that we did not get. :bsl:
Elsewise I been busy helping Mom get ready for seester next Thurzday 7 then she & ZA are going North with Sis for a week or so.
And watching the :horror: show which is American (& global) uprising of Autocracy and the American political :carp2b: show
I love Joe Biden. I feel he's a doog & noble man (with a tendency towards exaggerating cuz he's a scorpio) who is genuine in his desire to do what's best for the Nation.
But I was a Yang Ganger at first. :wiggle: And then a Bernie Bro. :yes: But age IS an issue & Bernie is older than Joe. :yes:
Kamala will be the pick as I believe JB will step down & make her president soon. :sigh: And then she needs a strong VP.
But Kamala will mobilize the black & brown votes which will give her the win over the narcissistic crazy guy who wants to be a King.
I hope.
:earthheart:
:horn: Where's :michafire: I've been looking but will look further...

Oh yeah Beryl barreled through there :therethere: to be honest I'm not even sure why youse are a separate county :scratch: Youse may be a minor civil division but more likely a census county division so yeah throw away :brick: county :yes:
Um yeah Kamala is the oblivious choice BUT not a doog one :nono: Even if Biden were fine in muches the same way the democrats gave Trump his first victory by blowing off Bernie they have likely done it agin :sigh: The main issue is they took too long dragging Trump through trials and tribulations :rimshot: and basically made him a well noed martyr AND they showed that he is a fighter. Biden lost BIG with immigration and the thangs that Whitehouse.gov claims he gits credit for aren't his doing BUT prolly worser of all is they are trying to give him credit for covid vaccine-ing :woe: He certainly helped AND it was a doog thang but NOW is a terrible time to try and claim credit 'cuz this is where the lawsuits against mRNA vaccines have begun :wall:
Also "age" is just a thang that the media is portraying as a problem ... it's not :nono: ... it's the fact that Biden is hasing :brain: issues. This can happen at ANY age but people recognize it in older peoplez and the media is producing a stereotype that people use against the elderly :woe:
It's like the way older americantz have to take a speeshul test 'cuz they may has declining :brain: issues and be more dangerous :frantic: even though statistically it's clear that drivers younger than 26 are vastly worserer and under 30 comprise the largest number of accidents and fatalities. Over 80's only have a rise in fender benders :roll: sadistically speaken :angel:
Bernie would still be my choice :yes: age or no age BUT to make thangs more difficult the democrats are split with multiple players pushing for their own chance. Biden's debate fumble was a hoped for and anticipated event that many are trying to use the worst of which is Gavin Newsom the KalipHorniaz horror show governor :horror:
Now the only shot the democratic party has is Harris BUT they also need to ALL come together ... which they wont :nono: Other than Bernie I'd say RFK jr. is the next bestest option BUT purty sure he's out ... like left the party :scratch:
Regardless I'm moving my investments around :egg: pecting Trump to win :sigh: The only real chance a democratic candidate has at this time is iffen the number of passed from covid voters is enough for them to keep a lead ... which I'm purty sure it's not :nono:
"Then we went to Jackson. For eyeglasses for :b: that we did not get. :bsl: "
By any chance has he had a proper eye exam recently? Plant based peoplez are more prone to galucoma and macular degeneration :horror: Iffen it's not one of those issues but more age related eye changes ... like needing reading glasses ... then I recommend Red Light therapy :yes: It's a noed thang and you can tellz purty quick {2 or 3 weeks} iffen it's gonna help :angel:
The trick is unerstanzing the intensity and time needed ... this is not the time to cheap out or goes for uber intense since you could go blind iffen you does it yerself BUT a doog eye doktor can set you up :yes:
It's 95.0 °F :faint: :horror:
AND it wont drop below 90 °F afores Munday then it's all HIGH 80's :horror:
Time to head out into the HOT :horror: ... kale night AND I need atleast two :pie: :eip: to sustain dad until Moonday :drama:

:no: to trumping.
Biden will comeback. And he will win. :righton: He will serve maybe 2 years & then step down.
This is my prediction & I am standing by it. :sparkle:
The other guy has a LOT of :evil: things in store. Heard of Project 2025?
Plus the Christian Nationalists, white supremacists & corporate billionaires who want to be oligarchs all has agendas under 45.
The media has been bought out by right wing interests & Biden has been set up. I'm not a conspirator but the facts are there. :yes:
There is a worldwide push towards ultra conservativeness & the UK just staved off the right....France, too :cheer: ....heck, even Iran just elected a leader who vows to rid women of headscarves! :faint: :cheer:
:love: will win. Worldwide.
So you best move your money back! :buttkick: :bsl:
As for :b: 's eyes... he had bi-focals for years & years starting 30 years ago. His entire family were glassesers. :chuckle:
Then an optometrist here told him to save his $$ & just pick up some readers.
He did that for years but now I think he needs 'sturdier' glasses. He says he's fine with cheap readers but :boyhowdy: he goes through them like water so my point is they ain't cheap ($6-12 a pair x an average of 3-4 pairs a month.) I did order him some lanyards & that has helped cuz he was real bad at putting them on his hat & then forgetting & flinging them across the room. :woe: :bsl:
Solly bout yer :heat: And yer Dad's. Tho he's a bit cat-like, isn't he, & prolly soaks it up. :chuckle:
Busy week here. Gotta help Mom get ready for Sis on Thursday & then on Saturday they driving to Ohio.

"The media has been bought out by right wing interests & Biden has been set up. I'm not a conspirator but the facts are there. :yes: "
Ooooh nice :hi5: way to chug that koolaide :thumbs:
Biden was not "set up" :therethere: He literally was the one who wanted to debate Trump and setup the whole thang. Also this is "politics" both sides are wolf packs vying for the Alpha position. As soon as ANY leader shows signs of weakness their party will turn on them. This is why I posted AFOREz the debate that the democratic party memberz who shoulda :bean: backing Biden were positioning themselves for a takeover.
Anywho Biden is NOT showing signs of dementia he's showing signs of being really tired. Also it's not about his age :nono: it's about him obliviously hasing some form of sleep disorder most likely sleep apnea AND needing to wear a CPAP. :horror:
He prolly needs to add an oxygen concentrator onto his CPAP and likely git 2 or 3 doog nites of (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/zzzscratch.gif)
Thang is he cannot :nono: he and his team are doing damage control and fighting off the wolves in his own pack :gayfight:
"So you best move your money back! :buttkick: :bsl: "
This is why conservatives are more likely to be poor :therethere:
You can bet on Biden :yes: The best chance he has for winning is iffen China takes out Trump ... they really don't want him as President agin :horror:
Anywho, the Democrats don't have a better horse :nono: The bestest chance for a non-Trump president is iffen Biden steps down as Mr.President ... very soon ... THEN Kamala Harris gits sworned in ... THEN she can :run: as the incumbent :angel:
I'm guessing being a card carrying conservative :hippy: type you don't realize that iffen Biden were to NOT be the democratic nominee but rather back another like Harris ... she or whomever will not gain access to his campaign fundz :nono: All them Beat Trump campaign dollars go :bye: Campaigning isn't cheap right wing media adds is :egg: spensive even left wing, liberal, conservative, :whatever: it aint free and most people don't vote for what's best for a country they vote what gives them THE Mostest :yes: And making them beleebz a vote for whomever is in their best inerest involves monies ... lots and LOTz :gstars:

Now ... 91.9 °F :faint: :horror:
Tomorrow :mina: even worserer :no: and persisting until next week :bawling:
On the plus side siguie manor will be cool as always 8) with :cloud: s 'n fog :sigh:
:kickcan:
Yeah I gots nuthin :sigh:
Oh but I gotted Dad an under the desk eliptical unit one of the :electrocute: variety :wiggle:
Basically it's too HOT for him to goes triking and on account of him not using AC 'cept perchance at night :drama: it's too hot to even does indoor biking and mostly he reads/plays in front of his puter with a fan running while eating :pie: and drinking :coffee: I wunderz where he gits that from :scratch: SO ... :whatever: ... with LOW low blood pressure :suck: and a :bump: in insulin levelz he starts getting pitting edema on his legs :pullhair:
He's usually doog about putting in the minimum amount of effort to NOT has pitting edema BUT it's been too HOT for too long :heat: so :boom: under desk :electrocute: eklipsical thang :oz: Basically you put yer feetz on the pedally bits and hit goes and it mooves yer legs with not muskles required :nono: It also has a remote control so no :button: pushing neether :nono:
Anywho it really don't count as :egg: sercise BUT it keeps the lymphatics lymphing along :thumbs: Oh and he really should wears them constriction socks AND keeps his feetz up BUT that's not gonna happen :sigh: Oh and I woulda waited until next week for Amazon Day :gstars: BUT it wont be cooling down until AFTER Amazon Day :fist:
:horn: Stay safe ... it looks like the remnants of Beryl will be heading yer way :wave:

Now ... 99.2 °F :faint: :horror:
Well it's almost 10°F cooler than anticipated but still :horror:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist:
Speaken of Thusdazed I heard Biden was doesing a solo news conference thang :wall: He shoulda put it off a day to recover from the NATO ffuts but I guess they is trying to "prove" ffuts so I guess one way or another sumthin is gettin a proving :share:
My guess is thangs generally go doog but not muches git proveded one way or the other :roll: Also Kamala blew it in her own interview :woe: she mixed up inflation control measures with housing support for the poor so it sounded like she was saying the Biden administration was combating inflation by handing out cash which is economally :butt: :oz:
Yup! :yes: Joe's the only horsey in the race now :therethere:

Kale day temperature ... 87 °F :cheer: ... I mean ... :faint: :horror:
Well it's "cooler" than yesterday I guess :sigh:
Oh and due to overwhelming demand AND annoyingly large amounts of kale :tomatoe: s and Blueberries two more neighbour peoplez will be joining us ... sez dad an hour afores I head out :woe: ... plus he sed don't worry he gotted some :pie: :eip: :roll:
Anywho I'll be doesing a :spinach: tortellini with smoked salmon in a garlicked :liplick: stabilized emulsion beurre blanc with kale and simple porcini :mushrooms: parm :cheese: ravioli with kale in a basil/olive pesto. I can git the basics from Trader Joe's and throw the whole thang together in the 20 minutes I'll need to make siguie brand garlicked :liplick: toasted bread. Oh and yeah there'll be ensalada ala veggie jail harvesting :roll:
In other newses or perchance ... k where was we ...
I was asked about (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) oil and tried to asplain why I doesn't take them as stated :nono: ... and it's 'cuz I prefer Cod Liver Oil {CLO}which tech :nickel: ly IS and ISN't fishy oil :nono: Fish oil can come from any oily fish while cod liver oil comes from Cod and only the liver. Anywho looong story short Krill oil is ... in my opinion ... a better option than "fish oil" AND likely better than CLO :yes:
That sed krill oil is harder to git "fresh" and without the smell :horror: plus it goes off :boom: much faster PLUS I likes to play with ffuts and likes the Green Pastures fermented CLO :yes: But mostly now I use Carlson's CLO ~5ml per day.
Thang is K2, A, D3 and E are ALL fat soluble as is C15:0 {aka pentadecanoic acid} ... and iffen a person is keto adapted {aka fat adapted} OR like le moi ... at a metabolicly switching :balance: point it just makes more sensicalz to has them vitaminz with oil ... as in MCT and of course CLO :angel:
I quite literally dissolve C15:0 in MCT oil as well as D3 which are both white powders, then add the solution to Carlson's CLO along with doof grade vitamin E. I don't has a doog K2 source yet so I has them speeshul coconut oil based softegel for that :sigh: Then I takes ~5ml each morning after I :check: with by blo-meter for ketosis :wiggle:
Anywho CLO already contains doogly amounts of K2, A and D3 PLUS E is often added as an preserving antioxidant :yes: I just want siguie specified amounts so :bump: accordingly :oz:
The thang I didn't realize was "people" ... and I use that term loosely 'cuz we're talking about kemystery minions here :roll: ... didn't noes that vitamin D requires vitamin A in oder to does important vitamin Ding :rimshot: fffuts ... who nude :dunno: well Apparently 1 none of them :woe:
To makes matters worserer I had to point out there are a lot a LOT of vitamin A dangerz :frantic: so it's not sumthin you just willy and nilly supplement :naughty: espeeshully for motherz 2 :bee: and both current :electrocute: and previous people who did them :smokes:
Like I keep tellin them ... iffen they is gonna does sumthin stoopid does it outside of lab :buttkick: 'cuz I'm not responsible and I hate doesing paper werks :club:
Oh and there are atleast 5 different forms of vitamin D with 6 to 8 known bound and active forms which are found in the liver PLUS likely many more :yes: So I likes CLO over horsey gel caps of (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) oil AND the whole active vitamin A thang not to mention bound and bioavailable Copper AND Zinc with no in fighting :gayfight:
Time for the kale party :sigh:

Kale night was a success :cheer: Dad's :strawberry: and :boo: berries were a big hit :brick: :liplick: He also gotted to show off his veggie containment system while I cooked dinger. Basically he is the only one in the hood with a garden that gits anythin edible 'cuz we has crows and oodles of :squirrel: :gheart: :tooshay: and no doubt other critters that eat vegetation afores they is pickable :naughty:

No :sun: photo ops this weekend :kickcan:
In other newses ... werken on a magnetic field :vibes: Frequency Pulser :sebiv: Sadly a HIGH power :electrocute: device like I wants requires some speeshul modules 'cuz I really Really want about a 1MegaHurtz frequency ... which prolly asplains why the professional :carp: costs thousands :faint: :sigh:
Tech :nickel: ly the therapeutic effects begin to appear at about 100 kHz AND I has cheap square wave generators :vibes: that can handle up to 150kHz but they mostly tap out at ~20V and 200mA or 4W max which is useable atleast in theory :hmm2: The nice thang is they is durt cheap ~$5 AND can handle 3 channels but the 4W is total so I could git multiple units and stack them ... as long as I can figure out how to synchronize them ... 'cuz magnetic fields are additive :angel:
Anywho Amazon Day is coming ... soon ... :gstars: so I'm thinking a few more of these modulez 'cuz they burn our for no knowable reason :whistle: oh and lots more magnet wire :bliss:

NOT tanassi durt Heck HOT no mores :cheer: :gstars:
Juts nermal mid 70's too HOT :heat:
K where was we ...
After reading up on the Grounding / :earth: ing :carp: I spent the last :cloud: and fog filled weekend at siguie manor playing with pulesed :electrocute: ffuts and I thunked I'd atleast mention it here and with the why :matt:
As mentioned afores I is Liverman :superman: and I :blah: :blah: about the connection with the Thymus and the age related Thymus involution ffuts yada yada :blah: :blah: ... so how does this relate to Grounding :om: Doog question :yes:
A: I'm not sure :idunno:
BUT my interest in the whole :electrocute: thang has to does with Blood :suck: clumping and or stacking :wiggle:
Electrical properties of the red blood cell membrane and immunohematological investigation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3415751/) <= NCBI article ... also a :wheee: bit technical :horror:
Here's the basics blood doesn't moove the way people thinxz :nono: Nermally you'd be able to just measure the viscosity and based on temperature and a few simple variables be able use a combination of laminar and turbulent flow fluid dynamics equations plus a dollop of hydrostatics and :boom: completely asplained :yesss: But alas nope don't werk like that :sigh:
The problem ... wait for it ... clumping and stacking :no:
Red blood cells in particular clump and or stack and as mentioned by the :wheee: bit technical paper it has to does with :electrocute: ffuts. In particular iffen you google "red blood cell clumping" you will see this is generally done when the body is fighting toxins or fighting an immune battle of some type :guns: The other one "stacking" :boobs: is called rouleaux formation and it's like a stack of coins only using red blood cell :nickel: s. In short these formations tend to suggest inflammation of some type :yes: However, and this is why I don't simply dismiss grounding as out right :rbrain: durt :woo: ... grounding even for relatively short periods 10+ minutes ... shows unclumping and destacking :faint: atleast to some degree :yes:
Now is this clumping / stacking the cause of a disease or inflammatory state ... :dunno: ... is declumping and unstacking a doog idea ... :scratch: Regardless it's an inerestin idea :yes:
Grounding by itself seems like a reasonable idea since electrostatics can effect the grouping patterns of the blood AND most peoplez evolved walking on more or less neutral ground :yes:
That sed ... what werks better than durt grounding ... you guessed it pulsed :electrocute: :bliss:
Anywho the low 1G to 10G range at 1H to 99Hz "is" therapeutically useful ... just sloooow to see any benefits.
FYI: 1 Tesla = 10,000 gauss {G} = 10,000,000 miligaus {mG} for reference the :earth: 's Magnetic field is about 500 milligauss
I wan to be able to :vibes: 100G at about 1000 MHz {aka 1 GHz} ... 'cuz this is the range that "appears" to be effective for reversing Alzheimer's Disease ... fer realz :yes: though the company just gotted an FDA Breakthrough Discovery clearance :yes: and to be fair them thangs only have ~40% success rate :sigh:
However, it looks promising :yes: but more importantly the process has a side effect which appears to induce ... wait for it ... longevity :ura: ... ya noes in mice :whistle:
Anywho the inflammatory cytokines are held/transported in red blood cells and this bigger PEMF :boom: helps unload them cytokines as well as breaking up the cell groupings AND PEMF appears to help reverse thymus involution.
SO ... :whatever: ... liver controls the thymus :vibes: via red blood cells :suck: :angel:
Also declumping makes yer blood cells werk better in particular at transporting Oxygen which is another one of my thangs 8)

Super summation...
Firstly, yes I did noes about campaign dollahs but if Kamala was the nominee she'd get all the Biden/Harris dollahs cuz her last name is... Harris. :duh:
And me? Conservative? :huh: I'm a wannabe socialist I guess. I dunno. I just want the whole world fed & housed & clothed & accepted & loved & cared for humanely. :dunno: I'm an anti-labelist. I prefer no labels. :p
And Kale night has evolved into neighborhood partay night! :cheer: :spitcoffee:
For reals, that's nice. :yes: No mock. :p
And D needs A. :wubsigh: As in first 'words' da da da da.
And minions ain't so bright outside of what they memorized in college. :bsl: :yes:
And NoCal's heat is gone but we'ze got it here. :heat: But just for another day or so. Then below lamron.
And grounding IS a thang. :righton: De-stacks & de-clumps. :chuckle:
Speaking of... B sees the cardiologist for his annual checkup on Thurzday. :yes: He messaged them last week to see if they wanted bloodwork or a stress test ordered & they said 'no, not until he sees the doctor first'. :yes:
Seriously... I noes you dislike observational health metrics but he looks gooderer than he has in nearly 10 years. His muskels are back, his energy level is back, his endurance, his strength... he's lean but not skinny. The psoriasis is still present in tiny patches on the ankles but all other patches have become little more than faint scars. It's a no-big-deal thang.
So :yes: Busy busy busy & busy being :sparkle: silent :sparkle: when I haven't been busy.
Helped Mom get ready for Sis as far as cleaning went...mowed on Wednesday, Nashville all day on Thursday, out with Sissy alll day Friday & then catching up on neglected ffutses here thereafter. :faint:
Now I'm watering at Mom's & ZA's (ZA has a LOT of pots :faint: ) until they gets back on Monday or Toozday.
Trying to stay out of the political muck & mud tho I will say that Project 2025 is NOT a conspiracy thang it's authored by former T peoples & is basically an ultra conservative "wish list" for the next administration. https://www.project2025.org/
But I already noes that :love: will win! :yes: It's what we came to :earth: for. :hearts:

"Firstly, yes I did noes about campaign dollahs but if Kamala was the nominee she'd get all the Biden/Harris dollahs cuz her last name is... Harris. :duh: "
:woe: Unlikely 'cuz it don't werk like that :nono: It will depend on how the donation wurding was wurded. Iffen Harris was the nominee and Biden VP then ... maybe ... otherwise the donations will be considered a contact useable ONLY for promoting Biden's re-election and for Harris being VP. Iffen Kamala were to drop out as vp Biden could still use the money since the Primary goal was "Re-Election". Harris will ONLY be able to possibly gain access to the funds she herself raised for Biden's re-election in those cases where the money was donated to her directly. Even then since the funds were meant to be for Biden's campaign it's questionable.
Solly but a lot of people are named Harris it don't give them access to campaign fundsies :therethere:
Anywho, she's out now :buttkick: she made too many stoopid :blah: :blah: mistakes regarding the economy. Iffen she were to git the nomination she'd have to asplain she made mistakes and since her edjumacatioin is Law she is already at a disadvantage and the economy is a BIG part of a campaign.
The democrats need to stop their infighting :gayfight: and back Biden or help China git Iran to git rid of Trump. This assassination attempt and Iran's plot both :bump: his position. Basically as things stand Trump shows as the clear winner in November. However, it's still close enough that ... maybe ... the demz can pull thangs together in time :dunno:
Anywho Kamala is a lost cause now :bye: and there aint enough monies in their campaign fund to change that :therethere:
"And Kale night has evolved into neighborhood partay night! :cheer: :spitcoffee: "
More like a way for Dad to git rid of :egg: tra vegetation. He tries to stagger planting ffuts BUT they always end up producing too muches at some point AND nobody can eat that much shrubbery :horror:

Observational health metrics are very important :yes: Just completely useless in determining iffen CAD is reversed or not :dunno: However, iffen he's happy then just goes with it :angel:
I is very VERY ProActive ... you all is ReActive which is fine iffen that's yer thang :drama: Youse fix problems when they occur while I likes to avoid them :oz:
Speaken of avoiding ... what is the point of seeing a doktor that's just going to sez you look fine and not run any tests? :dunno:
Oh ALSO it's Amazon Day! :cheer:
Yeah not muches really I wants BUT I picked up three ZK-PP2K PWM Pulse Frequency Generator (https://amzn.to/3WtaMT6) ... they is nermally $10 to $15 but are now $7 :yesss:
For no knowable reason the last two went :boom: with one melting :electrocute: and then :boom: ... :whistle:
Surprisingly coil inductance is not as easy to calculate as you might thinxz and atleast one online calculator was WRONG :gaah:

Solly but a lot of people are named Harris it don't give them access to campaign fundsies :therethere:
Anywho, she's out now :buttkick: she made too many stoopid :blah: :blah: mistakes regarding the economy. Iffen she were to git the nomination she'd have to asplain she made mistakes and since her edjumacatioin is Law she is already at a disadvantage and the economy is a BIG part of a campaign.
The democrats need to stop their infighting :gayfight: and back Biden or help China git Iran to git rid of Trump. This assassination attempt and Iran's plot both :bump: his position. Basically as things stand Trump shows as the clear winner in November. However, it's still close enough that ... maybe ... the demz can pull thangs together in time :dunno:
Anywho Kamala is a lost cause now :bye: and there aint enough monies in their campaign fund to change that :therethere:
"And Kale night has evolved into neighborhood partay night! :cheer: :spitcoffee: "
More like a way for Dad to git rid of :egg: tra vegetation. He tries to stagger planting ffuts BUT they always end up producing too muches at some point AND nobody can eat that much shrubbery :horror:
"Speaking of... B sees the cardiologist for his annual checkup on Thurzday. :yes: He messaged them last week to see if they wanted bloodwork or a stress test ordered & they said 'no, not until he sees the doctor first'. :yes:
Seriously... I noes you dislike observational health metrics but he looks gooderer than he has in nearly 10 years. His muskels are back, his energy level is back, his endurance, his strength... he's lean but not skinny. The psoriasis is still present in tiny patches on the ankles but all other patches have become little more than faint scars. It's a no-big-deal thang. "
Observational health metrics are very important :yes: Just completely useless in determining iffen CAD is reversed or not :dunno: However, iffen he's happy then just goes with it :angel:
I is very VERY ProActive ... you all is ReActive which is fine iffen that's yer thang :drama: Youse fix problems when they occur while I likes to avoid them :oz:
Speaken of avoiding ... what is the point of seeing a doktor that's just going to sez you look fine and not run any tests? :dunno:
Oh ALSO it's Amazon Day! :cheer:
Yeah not muches really I wants BUT I picked up three ZK-PP2K PWM Pulse Frequency Generator (https://amzn.to/3WtaMT6) ... they is nermally $10 to $15 but are now $7 :yesss:
For no knowable reason the last two went :boom: with one melting :electrocute: and then :boom: ... :whistle:
Surprisingly coil inductance is not as easy to calculate as you might thinxz and atleast one online calculator was WRONG :gaah:

:chuckle: We don't know what he might wanna test. :nonono: But it's an annual checkup & I, for one, am looking forward to seeing his reaction (re-active :p ) & hearing what he says. We have a doog easy-to-talk-with relationship with him & amembers, he's never had a WFPB Esselstynese patient afore. :cheer: It's worth the time & $$ just to see his reaction. :rofl: who knows what the influence could be? :sparkle:
As for the election... you can't vote :buttkick: and my vote doesn't matter due to the stoopy electoral college & the state in which I live. :sigh: But my consciousness counts in the collective... :vibes: More than any of usses may even realize. :om:
So.... :sig: ....whatcha noes about benign pituitary tumors? :scratch: My niece, Mallory, 33. She's been diagnosed awhile...taken the anti-ffuts... and was doing well but now, after 6ish months, she's not well. I guess they are gonna halve her meds & put her on an antidepressant....after another MRI. :wall: You noes me....there's gotta be a better way...
It seems these benign tumors are a 'thing' now. :huh: Too common, if I do say so myself. :asilly:

"So.... :sig: ....whatcha noes about benign pituitary tumors? :scratch: "
:woe:
Well garsh let's thinxz :scratch: there's the glucose/insulin resistance ... one of the first signs/symptoms of such tumors is type 2 diabetes like blood thangs. Then of course since there's a direct back and forth between the pituitary glands and thyroid there's the whole Iodine :blah: :blah: ffuts. Then of course there's the link between bipolar individuals as well as depression with pituitary tumors. In those last two cases people are generally diagnosed and treated AFORES it's discovered that they had a tumor.
K first I'm solly to hear about Mallory :therethere: though as tumors go they are nigh always benign :yes: Second my guess is she's had this for way WAY longer and it's just now getting attention :sigh:
Was/is she taking any other meds? Espeeshully :brain: altering ones 'cuz they don't play well with such tumors :crazyeyes:
Long :blah: :blah: shorterer the Bestestest non- (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) based treatment is coinkadinkally Autophagy which basically suggests these thangs are immune function related. Which also suggest that the current :electrocute: :rimshot: prevalence of pituitary tumors will likely resolve or atleast improve with improved/reset immune function.
The main issue is that the pituitary gland is a small keystone in the bodies hormonal balance :zanna: AND it's right next to the optic :brain: bits.
From a doof perspective iffen she's moderately overweight she would ... *shudder* ... benefit from WTFPB :horror: Though of course iffen she lubs :cow: :wub: keto :yes: which would put autophagy in easy access :angel:
":chuckle: We don't know what he might wanna test. :nonono: "
:woe: Thinxz about it ... he's gonna take a pulse and BP ... maybe ... listen to the :heart: and ask iffen B has any angina. WHY would he test for anythin iffen he's literally just waiting for B to show signs of needing a stent or some new (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) :dunno:
"... It's worth the time & $$ just to see his reaction. :rofl: who knows what the influence could be? :sparkle: "
K :roll: yer doktor gits paid by insurance so of course he's happy to not has to does anythin :yes: Additionally he wants B as a patient 'cuz not dying after being diagnosed with CAD and not requiring stents means the meds the doktor prescribed werked :rstars: Go and :check: the pharmacy for available prescriptions ... almost certainly B can still pickup ffuts iffen he needz it :roll:
So yeah the influence should be the doktor is happy :yes: However, he is still required to treat CAD as an incurable progressive disease.
B should has a stress test at a minimum :yes: It's just weird that they are not even doing routine blood werk ... they should does that even for people without CAD :oz:
Oh yeah I almost fergetted ... :check: Mallory's vitamin D levelz :yes: It's one of the fat soluble vitamins that's also a hormone AND it directly interacts with the pituitary gland AND more ffutses :wiggle: But yeah D :yes: I'd put a priority on that :check: PLUS iffen it is low or basically below fiddy { :secret: I likes 70} :bump: D3 intake but also 25-hydroxycholecalciferol aka calcifediol or calcidiol depending on country of origin.

Whoa.... I did not noes the Xi rumor. :nonono: Did no the Biden thang. :sigh:
What a crazier whirld than ever. :crazyeyes:
So Mal (yeah, I noes it's means bad in French but that's what she's called :chuckle: ) is very lean....she's a biker, bicycle, not motorcycle. :chuckle: She & her husband have been moving towards meatlosness for quite some time & she told me last summer that :cow: in particular practically gags her now. Oddly enough that may be a clue cuz as a young girl she looooved :burger: and steak more than most. But they cook at home & try to eat healthy. She's never smoked but does drink :beerme: socially.
She took no other meds. :nonono: Has never had any health issues whatsoever other than mild allergies when she was young. (Allergic to down pillow ffuts and :tomato: used to, & may still, cause immediate rash if it touches her skin tho she can eat it. :huh: )
She's been promoted but the promotion axshully just gave her 2 jobs as she's still doesing the old boj. :sigh: Typical. :roll:
She works for the Columbus OH Chamber of Commerce & does a lot of fundraiser ffutses & wining & dining of movers & shakers.
She's quite personable & well-spoken. :shera:
Her only symptom was menstrual irregularity which had been written off to her biking (she was training) but in hindsight everyone says tearfulness & irritability were also more prevalent.
Mallory at best is an absolute ray of sunshine. :sparkle:
And yes, I figure :b: 's doc is gonna order a stress test. He pushed it back a year. And likely he's gonna wanna check the beloved cholesterol. :rofl: :duh:

Being lean AND vegetative is a double whammy :boom: :boom: This is likely why her menstrual issues were written off :yes: She likely has already low cholesterol which is one of the key starting materials for hormone synthesis. Iffen her new boj is causing stress that's a cortisol :buttkick:

Iffen she's already a shrubber suggest she tries carnivore :oz: The carnivore diet is the bestest at fixing nutritional deficiencies FAST and it's espeeshully doog at fixing hormonal imbalances :zanna: and :bump: ing the immune system :yes:
For some peoplez pituitary tumors are immune function problems. I noes there's atleast one documented case where a pituitary tumor vanished *poof* after a person contracted covid :angel:

Cholesterol numberz isn't a thang :nono: until it becomes one and for B it did :horror:
The thang to unerstanz is that the magnitude of the numbers are really only meaningful when there is a "vulnerable plaque " aka an inflamed atherosclerotic plaque. When there are no blockages or plaques then yeah HIGH cholesterol is linked with longevity :happydance:
When a plaque is NOT inflamed then the cholesterol numberz don't mean "as" muches :nono:

Well.... the doctor wants a fasting lipid test.
And we've set up a CCTA, Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography , for November 1 in Nashville. AT 6AM nonetheless, which means we will stay in the hidden hotel in the hopsickle. :uhoh:
For reals, it's kinda creepy. You go to the unmarked elevator by the statue & get off at a keycard-only destination that is super quiet & ghostly. :rofl:
He says the CCTA is the newest & bestest way to see inside....almost as doog as cath labbing. :yes: And he feels that as long as :b: continues to does well he needs to do this every 3 years. That's why November cuz it was 11/21 when he had the catheterization.
He's funny. :rofl: Quite cerebral :brain: And really cannot believe that arteries are able to clear, though sometimes the cloggy bits can "rearrange" or change constitution making a lesser blockage (which is good, he says :chuckle: ) but it really didn't 'wash away'.
Omg I just realized we'll be staying in the haunted secret hotel on Halloween! :bsl:
It also has paper thin walls cuz last time we heard Mabel talking non-stop on the phone to whomever. She was totally wound up. :blah: :blah: :blah:
And as for Mallory....:yes: , I gets it. I does understanz the switching up of diets. I been feeling like I need to switch somethin up as well. :yes: My body seems to be hoarding fat (IR :roll: ) as of late & I doesn't like the way it feels. Though truly, just more exercise might be enough to :buttkick: me back in line. :rofl: Or a meatlos keto jaunt. :p
I don't know if Mal can does carnivore now or not but I will mention it.
Also, theres this thing with most peoples (me included) where they 'have' to go along with whatever the doctors say for a certain time before they feel justified in taking their body into their own hands. :yes: Take Matthew for instance. He still has frequent diarrhea...still has low grade fever... and he's getting the infusions. :crazyeyes: But the thing with him is that if he ever got truly well...he'd hafta get a boj. :sigh:
So everybody gotta walk their own paths. :wiggle:
:carp: I did the doctor route for 12 years before I finally said Eff it! But....there was little info back then, unless one was a sighentist or somethin. No internet, only libraries which is why one of the first :book: that started bringing me out of the fog was "The Yeast Connection" by Dr Robert Crook. Right or wrong the :book: was a turning point. And then... I met a psychic. :sparkle: Who recommended an herb protocol from Hannah's Herbs. But of courses that was all long before you were even born!! :pie:
K...gotta go water the seesters' :flower: s and then it's grocery/errand day.
:elfparty:
Oh yeah... :fullmoon: and other energies are for real off the charts higher than ever before. :scream:
Last night I was feeling it in my shoulders & head. No not dandruff shampoo. :wedgie: Seems it builds throughout the day no matter how I try to ignore the :twister: of heavy dissonance and anxiety. A salt water pool would be helpful. Even a salt bath. :duh: Gotta add sea salt to my list. :yes:
Happy Friday!!! :elfparty: :woohoo: :splat: Kale for the masses Day!!! :spitcoffee:

"He says the CCTA is the newest & bestest way to see inside....almost as doog as cath labbing. :yes: ..."
First :yesss: Second :woe: you really is 20yrs behind :roll: I aint neber heard of this CCTA :faint: so I asked Mr.Google and :wall: eberyone else noes it as a CT Angiogram. Basically a CTA is done to provide a CAC score though to be fair CTA for mapping porpoises to figure out the pipe system is a :bump: ed up resolution and slightly better overall procedure :thumbs:
Oh and it's actually much better than cath labbing :yes: tech :nickel: ly cathing gives higher resolution BUT it's invasive AND that was like 10yrs agoes NOW you can "see" capillaries with a CTA so there's really not much reason for the invasive option :nono: atleast not in B's case :oz: Also didin't you once mention a renal artery clog? :scratch: 'cuz in that case CTA FTW :woohoo:
Anywho ALL doog newses :gstars: :beerme:
Of course the bestest part ... Hopsickle Halloween (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/haunted_house.gif) :cheer: :ura:
"He's funny. :rofl: Quite cerebral :brain: And really cannot believe that arteries are able to clear, though sometimes the cloggy bits can "rearrange" or change constitution making a lesser blockage (which is good, he says :chuckle: ) but it really didn't 'wash away'."
Purty sure yer misquoting his beleebez by lumping them together :blob: Calcified atheromas like what B has basically requires reabsorption and Autophagy to induce a cytosomal :buttkick: So no it wont be washing away :bye: however many of the other types of plaques 'can' be rinsed off the cell walls espeeshully with a n NO :bump: and enhanced cell elasticity :yes:
That said there are two parts to calcified plaques ... the lining of the vascular wall has stem cellz that turn into osteocytes which are the thangs in bone that produce bone :duh: This can happen without cloggy ffuts too and is generally noed as soft tissue calcification and as the name implies can occur in tissues other than arterial :yes: This is why K2 and of course vit.D is sooooo important :yes:
Thang is this form of calcification occurs more frequently in areas of stress/damage and or poor blood flow :suck: which is why atheromas are so nasty. In addition to the osteocytes osteoing there's also calcium from the blood stream AND protein ... generally from cholesterol ... sticking to these plaqued areas. These stuck proteins {possibly also fibrin} can also has calcium attach ... think nasty soap scum from hard water. Both the deposited calcium as well as the protein :blob: s can be "washed" away though not as easily and this is where increased blood :suck: flow along with protease enzymes like from pineapple or the well noed nattokinase can help BUT these wont touch the calcium from the osteocytes :nono:
So the correct answer is yer doktor ... iffen he isn't cluelos ... DOES beleeb some cloggy bits will wash away but NOT B's :nono:
"And as for Mallory....:yes: , I gets it. I does understanz the switching up of diets. I been feeling like I need to switch somethin up as well. :yes: My body seems to be hoarding fat (IR :roll: ) as of late & I doesn't like the way it feels. Though truly, just more exercise might be enough to :buttkick: me back in line. :rofl: Or a meatlos keto jaunt. :p "
Well iffen yer body is hoarding fat AND yer not hasing significant oil in yer diet then you is hasing way too many carbs :therethere: That said try gauging yer potassium consumption. Yes I noes you eat a bunch of :banana: s :rimshot: but that's also why soooo many shrubberz screw that up :gaah:
One :banana: contains nearly 500mg of potassium which is a lot :thumbs: but you need/should has nearly 5g {5000mg} per day AND the amount you absorb depends on the ripeness of them :banana: as well as what else you eat with it :yes: Basically green :banana: s have resistant starches which is fine for delaying insulin spikes and what knottz but veg types tend to eat a lot of veg and that fiber train mooves thangs out afotrd the body gits access to the potassium ... so to speak :whistle:
Anywho yer "fatty" feelinz are more likely :electrocute: imbalance issues :zanna: with the concomitant retention of water.
Srsly, shrubbists have a hard time gaining weight without eating a ton of sugar and oil ... add in that whole durt pharming :hayseed: thang along with tanassi HELL weather and um yeah I'm betting you don't eat enough sodium and yer potassium levelz are :carp: :angel: But yer Magnesium is prolly doog :thumbs:
"... Or a meatlos keto jaunt. :p "
No :buttkick: and I mean this in the nicest possible way :angel: You are keto kluelos :therethere: Durtmomma and ZA should does keto for atleast a week 'cuz it's easy quickly beneficial AND leaning heavily towards carnivore means, no nutritional deficiencies to worry about PLUS durtmomma espeeshully will appreciate finding out that eating deep fried (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) at ebery meal is a doog thang :thumbs:
The tricky part for them is measuring their BP and durtmomma foregoing Metformin. In the first week after ketosis is achieved there is a dramatic weight loss ... typically 8 to 15lbs ... and this is nigh ALL water from the stored glycogen. This is a doog thang healthwise BUT they would SUDDENLY not need BP meds and Metformin aka glucophage {literally glucose eaterer} would be very bad AND they would need to eat a LOT more salt ... both Sodium and Potassium.
Iffen you did meatlos keto :horror:
K here's an :egg: sample ... didja noes Carnivorianz do not need vitamin C even though meat has very very little? It's true that :wheee: bit of vitamin C is ALL that a carnivore needz BUT there's a caveat. Carnivore is NOT Keto and just a :wheee: bit of carb will make supplementin necessary OR atleast a proper unerstanzing of ones diet ... which you don't :buttkick:
Fer realz vitamin C competes with carbs for absorption and generally losses :therethere: Thang is there is a lot a LOT of ffuts like that ... keto is easy :peas: y :yes: ... but it wont be iffen you make it hard :therethere: Also iffen you don't unerstanz it you wont git the benefits I :blah: :blah: about :nono:
Oh and I posted some ffuts in the ghostghurl thread about C15:0 that's sumthin EBERYONE but espeeshully Durtmomma and ZA could benefit from :angel:
"Oh yeah... :fullmoon: and other energies are for real off the charts higher than ever before. :scream: "
I noes :scream: my night sky cleared for an hour or so BUT that dang moonlight blocked my nebula imaging :fist:
"Kale for the masses Day!!! :spitcoffee: "
You :suck: :moon:
101.5 °F :horror:
First :yesss: Second :woe: you really is 20yrs behind :roll: I aint neber heard of this CCTA :faint: so I asked Mr.Google and :wall: eberyone else noes it as a CT Angiogram. Basically a CTA is done to provide a CAC score though to be fair CTA for mapping porpoises to figure out the pipe system is a :bump: ed up resolution and slightly better overall procedure :thumbs:
Oh and it's actually much better than cath labbing :yes: tech :nickel: ly cathing gives higher resolution BUT it's invasive AND that was like 10yrs agoes NOW you can "see" capillaries with a CTA so there's really not much reason for the invasive option :nono: atleast not in B's case :oz: Also didin't you once mention a renal artery clog? :scratch: 'cuz in that case CTA FTW :woohoo:
Anywho ALL doog newses :gstars: :beerme:
Of course the bestest part ... Hopsickle Halloween (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/haunted_house.gif) :cheer: :ura:
"He's funny. :rofl: Quite cerebral :brain: And really cannot believe that arteries are able to clear, though sometimes the cloggy bits can "rearrange" or change constitution making a lesser blockage (which is good, he says :chuckle: ) but it really didn't 'wash away'."
Purty sure yer misquoting his beleebez by lumping them together :blob: Calcified atheromas like what B has basically requires reabsorption and Autophagy to induce a cytosomal :buttkick: So no it wont be washing away :bye: however many of the other types of plaques 'can' be rinsed off the cell walls espeeshully with a n NO :bump: and enhanced cell elasticity :yes:
That said there are two parts to calcified plaques ... the lining of the vascular wall has stem cellz that turn into osteocytes which are the thangs in bone that produce bone :duh: This can happen without cloggy ffuts too and is generally noed as soft tissue calcification and as the name implies can occur in tissues other than arterial :yes: This is why K2 and of course vit.D is sooooo important :yes:
Thang is this form of calcification occurs more frequently in areas of stress/damage and or poor blood flow :suck: which is why atheromas are so nasty. In addition to the osteocytes osteoing there's also calcium from the blood stream AND protein ... generally from cholesterol ... sticking to these plaqued areas. These stuck proteins {possibly also fibrin} can also has calcium attach ... think nasty soap scum from hard water. Both the deposited calcium as well as the protein :blob: s can be "washed" away though not as easily and this is where increased blood :suck: flow along with protease enzymes like from pineapple or the well noed nattokinase can help BUT these wont touch the calcium from the osteocytes :nono:
So the correct answer is yer doktor ... iffen he isn't cluelos ... DOES beleeb some cloggy bits will wash away but NOT B's :nono:
"And as for Mallory....:yes: , I gets it. I does understanz the switching up of diets. I been feeling like I need to switch somethin up as well. :yes: My body seems to be hoarding fat (IR :roll: ) as of late & I doesn't like the way it feels. Though truly, just more exercise might be enough to :buttkick: me back in line. :rofl: Or a meatlos keto jaunt. :p "
Well iffen yer body is hoarding fat AND yer not hasing significant oil in yer diet then you is hasing way too many carbs :therethere: That said try gauging yer potassium consumption. Yes I noes you eat a bunch of :banana: s :rimshot: but that's also why soooo many shrubberz screw that up :gaah:
One :banana: contains nearly 500mg of potassium which is a lot :thumbs: but you need/should has nearly 5g {5000mg} per day AND the amount you absorb depends on the ripeness of them :banana: as well as what else you eat with it :yes: Basically green :banana: s have resistant starches which is fine for delaying insulin spikes and what knottz but veg types tend to eat a lot of veg and that fiber train mooves thangs out afotrd the body gits access to the potassium ... so to speak :whistle:
Anywho yer "fatty" feelinz are more likely :electrocute: imbalance issues :zanna: with the concomitant retention of water.
Srsly, shrubbists have a hard time gaining weight without eating a ton of sugar and oil ... add in that whole durt pharming :hayseed: thang along with tanassi HELL weather and um yeah I'm betting you don't eat enough sodium and yer potassium levelz are :carp: :angel: But yer Magnesium is prolly doog :thumbs:
"... Or a meatlos keto jaunt. :p "
No :buttkick: and I mean this in the nicest possible way :angel: You are keto kluelos :therethere: Durtmomma and ZA should does keto for atleast a week 'cuz it's easy quickly beneficial AND leaning heavily towards carnivore means, no nutritional deficiencies to worry about PLUS durtmomma espeeshully will appreciate finding out that eating deep fried (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) at ebery meal is a doog thang :thumbs:
The tricky part for them is measuring their BP and durtmomma foregoing Metformin. In the first week after ketosis is achieved there is a dramatic weight loss ... typically 8 to 15lbs ... and this is nigh ALL water from the stored glycogen. This is a doog thang healthwise BUT they would SUDDENLY not need BP meds and Metformin aka glucophage {literally glucose eaterer} would be very bad AND they would need to eat a LOT more salt ... both Sodium and Potassium.
Iffen you did meatlos keto :horror:
K here's an :egg: sample ... didja noes Carnivorianz do not need vitamin C even though meat has very very little? It's true that :wheee: bit of vitamin C is ALL that a carnivore needz BUT there's a caveat. Carnivore is NOT Keto and just a :wheee: bit of carb will make supplementin necessary OR atleast a proper unerstanzing of ones diet ... which you don't :buttkick:
Fer realz vitamin C competes with carbs for absorption and generally losses :therethere: Thang is there is a lot a LOT of ffuts like that ... keto is easy :peas: y :yes: ... but it wont be iffen you make it hard :therethere: Also iffen you don't unerstanz it you wont git the benefits I :blah: :blah: about :nono:

K, a CCTA is NOT the sames as a CT angiogram. :nonono: :b: had that, as well as the renal. Doc says those are useful, but not very clear nor specific. THIS, he says takes lots of rapid-fire images almost in slices & then puts them all together for a really good image. He even then showed us images on his phone from same machine. :yes:
And secondly...no...he does not beleebes reversal happens in any form or fashion. Quite the opposite. Coronary artery disease is progressive, he repeated. :chuckle: 'But sometime', he conceded, 'a person could have say a 50% blockage & then that blockage kind of settles or changes form (I won't go into specifics, he said) ...it becomes more dense & compacted...and next time I look it's a 35% blockage. Now that's good....it is. But did the blockages go away? Well... maybe, but it's more likely that it just changed form.'. Paraphrased almost exactly as he saided it.
We doesn't debate him, nor nothing. We just smile & nod...mostly. :rofl: He's a doog guy but he already saideded he has no time for reading nor catching up on latest developments nor anything. So everything he says on repeat (seriously when he goes into lecture mode you can tell he's given that specchlet thousands of times). He's been cardiologying for over 30 years so any updating that he gets comes through St Thomas Cardiology in the form of mandatories....I'm certain.
He's fine for what we needs. He didn't even blink at the medlosness. :nonono: But he also didn't even want to writes down the supplements he takes. :woe:
I figure he's low man in their hierarchy cuz elsewise why would he be the only one to drive to Paris one day a week for ever & ever?
His Thuzdaze are almost like yours. :pie: :rofl:
Anyway... all that matters is that we gonna has a nuf Halloween! :ghost: :scared: :bsl:
And potassium :check: I was eating a :banana: as you writ that. :rofl:
Crazy busy. :frantic:

I did not mees up any steenking omem. The doctor knows what he know & no more. :chuckle: I tolded you he's been in practice 30+ years...does not stay up-to-date...and his patients are ALL southerners who continue to live on fried doof & pork cuz absolutely NO guidance is given on diet other than cut back on salt. :nonono:
And I specifically axed him if this was the same as a CAT scan & he said :no: and went into automaton-mode esplaining how it is not.
Anyway... we/he really don't need another doctor cuz there ain't one around here who's gonna say/do/know what we want them to. :nonono:
This Doc has seen hundreds, if not thousands, of patients & :b: is the FIRST one who's gone WFPB and the FIRST one who didn't need more meds & another trip to the cath lab at 2 years (or before!). So his mind was firmly set on this path being impossible. And he has had no interest in opening it a crack to think otherwise.
Elsewise.... Uncle Joe dropped out of the race. :faint: I believe he was pushed. But I also believe that he gotted some concessions in exchange. Like his immediate endorsement of Kamala (& now the media is jumping in her boat) as well as agreement to push through several things on his aganda before his time is up.

In other newses ... I mean ...
K where was we ...
PEMF muches like red light phtobiomoulation was originally a NASA tech research project thought the light ffuts started in the 1980's and the EMF was mostly 90's but didn't git mainstream until ~2006 as I recall :scratch:
Anywho they has numerous patents on PEMF mostly for genetic regulation of bone and cartilage but the last one I noes about is in 2020 and it's for all around genetic regulation and is classified as "health medicine and biotechnology" :wiggle:
Even more MORE recently there's a company called neuroEM (https://www.neuroem.com/) which has their MemorEM Transcranial Electromagnetic Treatment device and purportedly ...
Anywho they gotted FDA "Breakthrough Clearance" which means it's important enough to RUSH :run:
The key in their system is using a nigh 1GHz frequency ... I can only does 150kHz so far :kickcan: BUT I'm werken on it :yes:
That said you prolly don't really needz that high :vibes: :nono: BUT it is inerestin and I wishes them well :wave:
Not too surprisingly I don't has no Alzheimer's nor Parkinson's nor Dementiaz :nono: I is only 8 :matt: BUT one of the side effects of the neuroEM happens to be better health and longevity :yesss: plus yer :brain: just werks dooger :yes: the :lbrain: anyways the jury is still out on the :rbrain: ... :muaha:
Now putting it ALL together with a why :wiggle:
Like most siguie brand projects I just did it 'cuz it inerested me and I had ideas and theories that related :oz: BUT like so muches of the cool ffuts Trans Cranial Magnetic :vibes: generators are not cheap :no: and that brand of :electrocute: had a tendency to go :boom: for absolutely no reason :gaah:
That said I finally took the plunge (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/deepdiver.gif) and the reason is PEMF matts really werk and are commercially available for ~$1000 that does the minimum of what I want ... the better ones are $30k to $50k :faint: but Now I can make them for under $200 and the small ones like my 2 coil tester is only $50 Thank you Prime Day :cheer:
Reasons to PEMF ...
K went over the :brain: ffuts and the bone and cartilage is the whole point for NASA.
Insulin resistance
Electromagnetic Fields Ameliorate Insulin Resistance and Hepatic Steatosis by Modulating Redox Homeostasis and SREBP-1c Expression in db/db Mice (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7954280/#:~:text=Results,were%20reduced%20by%20EMF%20exposure.)
In other wurdz PEMF can help with NAFLD which effects the pancreas and overall IR is improved. Tie this in with C:15:0 red blood cells :suck: and ferroptosis and you has a treatment protocol for insulin resistance AND :bump: ing / rejuvenating the pancreatic beta cells :cheer:
Now most importantly ...
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Treatment Ameliorates Murine Model of Collagen-Induced Arthritis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9862561/)
Murine Model means mices :oz:
Collagen-Induced Arthritis ... :secret: this is about Rheumatoid arthritis.
In short this non-invasive treatment that was designed by NASA to prevent bone and cartilage loss for astronughtz actually re-ossifies and re um cartaligez them AND just last year in 2023 they showed it werks for RA ... ya noes in mices :roll:
Anywho red/infrared photobiomodulation is easier and cheaper BUT PEMF werks dooger AND penetrates way WAY deeper which is prolly where the dooger comes from. Oh and Apparently 1 10Hz werks better than 75Hz.
Oh and when using PEMF espeeshully for :brain: ffuts it's important to unerstanz that there's also entrainment potential. What makes PEMF werk is the magnetic coin flip :nickel: that change induces an :electrocute: potential and often referred to as a slew rate. Iffen this where the only thang necessary then the highest frequency :vibes: the betterer BUT this is not the case ... thinxz resonance and :harmony: :om:
Anywho the frequencies between 0Hz and 50Hz are the most studied and well tolerated because this is the Schumann resonance range though mostly it's in the 7.83 Hz and 33 Hz range.
FYI: the hooman hearing range is 20Hz to 20kHz so when the :earth: s resonance goes above 20Hz ... even though this is an EMF signal not acoustic :wave: s some peoplez will hear it :yes: It's NOT the eardrum picking up the signal but like a direct neural hack. Yes, this was literally the first thang I tested when I made my system :cheer: :bliss:
Oh yeah the point entrainment ... it's a thang ... iffen you PEMF at 0.5 to 3Hz this is the :brain: Delta waves as in REM sleep, 4-7Hz Theta and Alpha is 8-13Hz PLUS some morez :yes:
The pulsed :electrocute: does it's PEMF :vibes: thang to the cellz but the :brain: wants to :sebiv: back at whatever the frequency is so iffen you want to git PEMF benefits and :zzz: then goes with an alpha or theta frequency :thumbs: Iffen you want to PEMF while driving or werken prolly goes sumthin 10Hz or higher :whistle:
The most studied frequencies are 10Hz and 20Hz and are both generally all around doog :thumbs:
HEAT :wave: continues ... 90.5 °F slightly cooler ... very slightly :sigh: :horror:

The key in their system is using a nigh 1GHz frequency ... I can only does 150kHz so far :kickcan: BUT I'm werken on it :yes:
That said you prolly don't really needz that high :vibes: :nono: BUT it is inerestin and I wishes them well :wave:
Not too surprisingly I don't has no Alzheimer's nor Parkinson's nor Dementiaz :nono: I is only 8 :matt: BUT one of the side effects of the neuroEM happens to be better health and longevity :yesss: plus yer :brain: just werks dooger :yes: the :lbrain: anyways the jury is still out on the :rbrain: ... :muaha:
Now putting it ALL together with a why :wiggle:
Like most siguie brand projects I just did it 'cuz it inerested me and I had ideas and theories that related :oz: BUT like so muches of the cool ffuts Trans Cranial Magnetic :vibes: generators are not cheap :no: and that brand of :electrocute: had a tendency to go :boom: for absolutely no reason :gaah:
That said I finally took the plunge (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/deepdiver.gif) and the reason is PEMF matts really werk and are commercially available for ~$1000 that does the minimum of what I want ... the better ones are $30k to $50k :faint: but Now I can make them for under $200 and the small ones like my 2 coil tester is only $50 Thank you Prime Day :cheer:
Reasons to PEMF ...
- Bone Density and cartilage :bump:
- Insulin Resistence
- Immunity :bump:
- :brain: doogafying
- Improve sleep quality (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/zzzscratch.gif)
- ... and soooo muches more
K went over the :brain: ffuts and the bone and cartilage is the whole point for NASA.
Insulin resistance
Electromagnetic Fields Ameliorate Insulin Resistance and Hepatic Steatosis by Modulating Redox Homeostasis and SREBP-1c Expression in db/db Mice (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7954280/#:~:text=Results,were%20reduced%20by%20EMF%20exposure.)
QuoteResults
EMF exposure ameliorated insulin resistance and oxidative stress in the liver by downregulating the MDA and GSSG levels, increasing the reduced GSH levels, and promoting the GSH-Px levels in db/db mice. In addition, liver weight and triglyceride (TG) levels were reduced by EMF exposure. Simultaneously, EMF exposure improved hepatic steatosis by downregulating the protein expression of SREBP-1c.
Conclusion
The present findings suggest that EMF exposure has positive effects in the treatment of NAFLD.
In other wurdz PEMF can help with NAFLD which effects the pancreas and overall IR is improved. Tie this in with C:15:0 red blood cells :suck: and ferroptosis and you has a treatment protocol for insulin resistance AND :bump: ing / rejuvenating the pancreatic beta cells :cheer:
Now most importantly ...
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Treatment Ameliorates Murine Model of Collagen-Induced Arthritis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9862561/)
Murine Model means mices :oz:
Collagen-Induced Arthritis ... :secret: this is about Rheumatoid arthritis.
In short this non-invasive treatment that was designed by NASA to prevent bone and cartilage loss for astronughtz actually re-ossifies and re um cartaligez them AND just last year in 2023 they showed it werks for RA ... ya noes in mices :roll:
Anywho red/infrared photobiomodulation is easier and cheaper BUT PEMF werks dooger AND penetrates way WAY deeper which is prolly where the dooger comes from. Oh and Apparently 1 10Hz werks better than 75Hz.
Oh and when using PEMF espeeshully for :brain: ffuts it's important to unerstanz that there's also entrainment potential. What makes PEMF werk is the magnetic coin flip :nickel: that change induces an :electrocute: potential and often referred to as a slew rate. Iffen this where the only thang necessary then the highest frequency :vibes: the betterer BUT this is not the case ... thinxz resonance and :harmony: :om:
Anywho the frequencies between 0Hz and 50Hz are the most studied and well tolerated because this is the Schumann resonance range though mostly it's in the 7.83 Hz and 33 Hz range.
FYI: the hooman hearing range is 20Hz to 20kHz so when the :earth: s resonance goes above 20Hz ... even though this is an EMF signal not acoustic :wave: s some peoplez will hear it :yes: It's NOT the eardrum picking up the signal but like a direct neural hack. Yes, this was literally the first thang I tested when I made my system :cheer: :bliss:
Oh yeah the point entrainment ... it's a thang ... iffen you PEMF at 0.5 to 3Hz this is the :brain: Delta waves as in REM sleep, 4-7Hz Theta and Alpha is 8-13Hz PLUS some morez :yes:
The pulsed :electrocute: does it's PEMF :vibes: thang to the cellz but the :brain: wants to :sebiv: back at whatever the frequency is so iffen you want to git PEMF benefits and :zzz: then goes with an alpha or theta frequency :thumbs: Iffen you want to PEMF while driving or werken prolly goes sumthin 10Hz or higher :whistle:
The most studied frequencies are 10Hz and 20Hz and are both generally all around doog :thumbs:

Speaking of sigh-ence ffutses...
Did you know Kamala's mother is from India & she's a biologist?
And her father is from Jamaica & he is/was a professor with a Doctorate of Economics?
And she majored in political psyence & um....economics?
Do not underestimate her. :nonono: She graduated HS at 16. She's smate. :p
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris
And as for the cardiologist... :yes: :whatever: We done figgered out long ago that he's not so doog. But as long as :b: continues to does well then there's no need to shop around. :nonono: I am just thankful that he was 'un-stentable' cuz elsewise he woulda exited the cath lab with stents...without permission. :sigh: Cuz peoples round here (& elsewhere) just let doctors does whatever they see fit without question. :sigh:
This week has :run: right by. :faint: My sissy and the senior seesters got back from Ohio late Monday night. :sparkle:
All day Tuesday we spent with Laura (my seester) & then yesterday I gotted up at 4AM to drive her to the airport. :wub:
It was nice, just the 2 of us able to talk.
Now... It's ALMOST FRIDAY already! :faint:

There are reasons why both Obama's did not immediately endorse Harris :nono: ... they will eventually 'cuz that's what the party wants :yes:
I'm not saying that Harris cannot win :nono: I'm saying that Biden had a much better chance :yes: Also at this point as thangs stand Harris has already lost :therethere: Her only real chance now is baiting Trump to make him say or does sumthin stoopid.
The democrats are running an "Anyone but Trump" campaign because Biden and by :egg: tesnion Harris don't have any notable accomplishments that they can claim as their own. Biden had the best chance of winning, Harris is now just the stand in ... no one cares about her parents/edumuckation or anything that might be considered a merit :therethere:
If she wants to beat Trump on merit people need to noes what she can does for them and HOW elsewise she's just a vote for not Trump.

:frantic: I felteded it.... allll weekend & still now. :tinhat:
We had a :stars: kinda few days. All is fine. Except our refrigerator. :chuckle: Long story short it's been slooowly dying for a long while & we been bandaging it ourselves. (we literally has no repairpeoples locally & iffin you google you will find a couple but if you call it will be 2-3 weeks or not at all. Same with plumbers :eek: a couple just has messages that say they are not taking service calls at this time :uhoh: ). But I digress. :windy:
So Lowe's had fridges on sale & I gotted what I really need which is a biggie-sized french door fridge at a great price (PLUS an extra 20% off for opening a line of credit which gived us 12 mos 0% innerest! :woohoo: )
It's being delivered today. :yes:
And our old one is on the back porch still full of doof. :chuckle: It still works...mostly...and I gots thermometers to keep checking but eeerthang's alright til the new one arrives. :yes:
But before even that I started a clean out mode thang whereas I'm aiming to rid the house of 50% of it's contents. :chuckle:
My walk-in closet was the instigator tho I haven't even gotten to that yet. :uhoh: Got my dresser done and a kitchen drawer & a couple :uhoh: cabinets that were to the point of 'stand back when you open it cuz something will surely falls out!'.
It's Get Yer House in Order Time. :sparkle: :wiggle: :sparkle:
But as for the election ffuts....
:horn: Yer WRONG!!! :spitcoffee:
1. The Obamas did not immediately endorse cuz they did not want her to seem "annointed". And she knew that. Her first words were that she'd work hard to EARN the nomination.
2. There is a tsunami of $$ and excitement around her. The energy is palpable. She's raised upwards of $200 mil in less than a week. $100 mil in the first 24 hours. And 170K new volunteers . :faint:
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/in-first-week-of-campaigning-harris-raised-200m-and-signed-up-170000-volunteers
3. The young peoples are in love. :wubsigh: TikTok is crazy. And she's got Taylor & Beyonce planning a fundraiser.
4. She/her peoples are absolute;y brilliant at immediately responding to & countering attacks from the opposition.
5. There's much more but all signs point to a landslide victory. :sparkle:
And I haven't even mentioned how the orange dude is mentally declining or how his running mate is a :uhoh: white supremacist type and how they have all kinds of authoritarian dreams. :cloud9:
But time will tell. :yes:

You seriously said somethin like 'polls :hysterical: ' Polls are uselos. Or somethin like that....not so very long agoes.
And... You make yer own KoolAid that is :crazy:
Obama is NOT a huge Joe fan. :nonono: I think he likes him...but. S
upposedly he is the one that talked him out of running in 2016, when he would have been the logical candidate. And O was caught on a hot mic saying "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to eff this up" before this last election. :yes:
Anyway... I ain't going down the middle school he said she said kinda lane any longer,
but I think you & your analyticals are gonna be quite surprised. :boo:
:therethere: So solly bout your financials. :tissue: But according to 'my' psychic we have compressed time & jumped ahead so what woulda been in 2032 is gonna happen in 2024. :yes: And that is the beginning of the restructuring of the 'everything'.
And yes, there will still be growing pains. :yes:

But we go through a LOT of produce. :yes: Most Sundays I make 4 cups of cooked oatmeal, a large kale salad & hummus for B's lunches. And I keep washed & cut carrots, celery & peepers. Sometimes cucumbers but they don't hold well.
But I :wub: my new fridge. It has TWO icemakers ( yeah, I noes :whatever: you thinks that's a uselos :p ). A small upper for filling glasses. And a lower one with bin.

It's an energy thang. Everything is different. THe old polls & analytics are no longer accurate as they once were cuz the rulez are changing daily!
The psychic Sterling says we have effectively compressed time & are essentially skipping 8 years of :yucky: ness. And it's all becuz of :love: and Light and all the doog thangs spoken of for all eternity. :namaste: I can feel the change. We are truly leveling up. :sparkle:
Kamala et al are exhibiting the energy of Joy! P
eoples are happy once again.
Like Dancing in the Streets kinda happy.
And it's contagious. :vibes: :grouphug:
The ages old Fear vs Love storyline.
All that being said it's not like it's gonna be all lollipops & roses quite yet. The dark energies are heaving & gasping & ain't gonna go quietly into the night. :sigh:
I have no particular political leanings. But I am here on this planet to hold the vibration of :love:

"It's an energy thang. Everything is different. THe old polls & analytics are no longer accurate as they once were cuz the rulez are changing daily!"
The polls :wheee: were neber "accurate" 'cuz peoplez votes literally don't count for :carp: and I don't mean that in some wacky pessimistic conspiracy way neether :nono: I mean it literally on account of the Electoral College and the way it werks :yes: The number of electoral votes each state has is based on the population counted at the last census. The discrepancy and one of the thangs the Democratz count on is that the population includes illegal aliens BUT only US citizens can vote. In KalipHorniya this means 4.5 of the 55 electoral votes are due to illegal immigrants.
This is why KalipHorniaz is so important for Dems AND one of the reasons we git :egg: tra migrants on census years :fist:
This is one of the key polling :wheee: discrepancies :yes: and I account for it 8)

Regardless Harris is :unthumbs: and in muches the same way Biden didn't accomplish anything significant I will :egg: pect here to rise to that level :yes: so not muches needs to be done :nono: Iffen Trump wins then there's a lot that needs to be changed :frantic: 'cuz he'll lower the treasurey rate to :bump: economy lower taxes and take another swipe at Obamacare :onoes: yada yada :blah:

:yes: I learnt about the electoral college in middle school or before. :roll:
And it's a really :carp: y college cuz it was designed for the days in which peoples had to travel by horseback from town to town to collect votes....or a consensus of the majority of folks. It made sense then.
Cally is not so important cuz 'everybody' noes it goes blue no matter what. Much like Tanasi in reverse. :chuckle:
The 'fraud'. if anybodies wants to call it that, is the fact that Hillary had waaay more votes than Trump. Al Gore had waaaay way more votes than W. Yet it didn't matter cuz of the electorates. :crazyeyes:
But I ain't gonna fix that system any time soon.
I know & understand way more of the peecture (political, energetic, karmic, et al) than I speak about & that's ok.
Everything going on is pretty fascinating & quite amazing. :sparkle: And I'm not just talking about Kamala...talking the entire US karmic wheel.
But right now I'm most concerned about mowing the rest of the fast-growsing grass & taking care of J & my seniors (Been meaning to tell you how I thin out their wet doof with colloidal silver :yes: :thumbs: )
And first, I am getting the 2 of us ready to go to the grocery store & then fill up the beautiful new refrigerator. :wubsigh:

Not really... but once in awhile I does crave a doog blue or parmesans or the 'billionaire cheese; hunks I usta get at Jackson Kroger.
C'est la vie. Tho my body is happier without it. :yes:
As for the election... I am right. :yesss: And I was 'right' before it's just that timing was off. :yes: He did pass the baton. :righton:
The orange dude is totally off his rocker. :yes: And even his handlers don't think they want him any more, but he is (was?) the one attracting the crowds & getting the votes.
We've had no success with cucumbers this year. I've started seeds twice & the first time I think my seeds were bad, the second time the widdle plants burned up. :sigh: I think I've still got time for more. Gonna plant a lotta :fall: futts pretty soon. :wiggle:
We worked harder than we have in years this past weekend. :b: was exhausted cuz he worked & sweated harder than me,
but had NO arrhythmia nor angina nor nothing other than general 63 year old out-of-shapeness. :cheer:
So I have had a small 'hedgerow' or thai basil this year. :wubsigh: It's a 20' or so curved border of a flower bed where violas had bordered & it became a simple place to put extra basil plants.
Anyway...they have been beautiful!!! And I can harvest a giant bouquet for dingering & still the hedgerow looks unaffected. :yes:
So we is gonna go for a kale hedge for :fall: & much of winter. :wubsigh: I thinks I can plant kale just behind the basil & the basil will help keep it cooler & shadeder til frost when the basil goes :candle: and the kale can shine!
Our raise bed shipping crates have not been the greatest yet. We had way more 'settling' than we anticipated. :chuckle:
The one with green beans & squash axshully looks like it had a sinkhole! :eek: The herbs are holding strong & I discovered that parsley & peepers do fabulously well together. :wubsigh: Their foundation has dropped but they are still going strong. In a small 3x3 crate I planted 9 peepers and then pur parsley in between them all. I was merely filling space. :chuckle: The parsley had been fabulous. Way way taller, greener & flavorfuller than the parsley planted with the other herbs. :yes: The peeper plants are providing shade for the parsley & it's hand's down the best Tanasi parsley I ever growed. :cheer:
And in one bed we are simply multiplying :strawberry: plants. We hope to has a dedicated :strawberry: field or row or spot next year. But these are doog, hard-to-find, Chandler :strawberry: s & we want our plants to go forth & multiply! :gstars:

Oh & 11 years ago today :papa: died. :candle:
On one hand I cannot believe it's already been 11 years cuz it seems like just yesterday that he was here & vibrant.
But on the other, it seems quite a long time ago cuz after a rough patch Mom landed on her feet & has found herself once again. :shera:
It took a couple years tho. :sigh: But she was just 17 when they married. She'd never really known herself apart from him.
Time truly does heal all things. :sparkle:
I noes you noes this as well. :wub:

Dad's cukes really are dang tasty :liplick:
I'm gonna need a few gallons of vinegar and lots LOTS more bottles :drama:
Also siguie brand cukes, red onion and :tomato: salad is dang delicious :happydance:
I ALWAYS has on hand red onion siguie brand pickles so I made dad a batch with :egg: tra vinegar so he can just slice up cukes and toss with red onions and pickle juice a dash of salt and some chili flakes or black peeper and it's purty doog add in some green/orange peeperz and :boom: :bliss:
It also goes surprisingly well with grilled salmon with olive tapenade :liplick: oh yeah and kale :roll:
Yeah I gots nuthin :sigh:
:egg: cept ... 93.7°F :no:

K so it seems the minions were shocked to find out that PEMF isn't :woo: even though two of them use or have used PEMF devices and swear by them :woe: THIS is why psighenc mooves so slooowly :ashamed:
Anywho one question I was asked was iffen I has noed about this for so long why am I just now playing with the tech ... well lots of reasons :yes: The top two are price and safety :horror:
Previously you needed BIG capacitor banks and large transformers to pour a HUGE amount of :electrocute: into a coil of wire for the :vibes: This is :egg: spensive AND kinda skerry :uhoh: not only does :carp: git all blowey uppy :boom: for no reason :whistle: these thangs also tend to burst into flame (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) Oh and there's that whole heat dissipation thang too which I may occasionally fergets about :ashamed:
Anywho tech has improved and those ZK-PP2K modules I picked up on Prime Day :ura: are $6 and can handle 30V and 8A {aka 240W} :cheer: Currently :rimshot: I'm running at 12V 5A {60W} which is safe enough that ffuts take time to git HOT and I has a thermal imager so nuthin has spontaneously combusted :nono: K I may have melted some plasticky bits BUT no (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) :yesss: Go me :hi5:
Oh and that no :boom: thang may soon change :whistle: .... I ordered a HIGH Amp {60A} H-Bridge :wiggle: and it should arrive next week sometime BUT that's for the ultimate siguie brand PEMF unit which is still in development :oz:
The big reason I'm only starting the PEMFing now is realistically Red/InfraRed photobiomodulation does eberythang I needs and is both safer and cheaper BUT Dad is getting older and he literally stops triking when it rains ... unless he really REALLY wants :pie: Yes, this has happened :yes: Anywho he sucks :suck: at using his :egg: sercise bike on the regular :roll: and PEMF mats treatments :bump: muskle mitochondria function as well as blood flow basically slooowing sarcopenia as well as improving muskle mass gaining :wiggle:
There are also :brain: immune system and overall health benefits :angel:
Anywho from my calculations he'd only need about a hunert watt system and it would be about 80 timez better than the Bemer system that costs $1000 :faint: PLUS I can build it into his lounger and use a motion sensor to start it running when he sits down :muaha:
The BIG high powered :vibes: would be for me to play with :bliss:
That said PEMF is already noed to be effective for thyroid issues both hyper and hypo not to mention the recent evidence for nigh every type of cancer and immune function improvement. Plus as LiverMan :superman: I already noes there are lots of benefits there too :cheer:
In any event it's nuf :wiggle: and my current :rimshot: :wheee: two ring 2x35G system is AWESOME and for less than fiddy buckaroonies is purty amazin :ura: :cheer: and no :boom: or (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) :yesss: :irule:

K where was we ...
I mentioned it afores but being LiverMan and all :superman: I thunked I'd goes over the basics here in a publickier place :yes:
There's a newly-ish discovered 'essential fatty acid' called pentadecanoic acid {aka C15:0 }. Essential means you need some in yer diet 'cuz yer body don't make none :nono: though some :mushrooms: or possibly :blob: types do make a :wheee: bit in yer gut.
In any event over the 10-ish years since it was discovered there has been over 10k papers published on it and one of the key points now being elucidated, other than it being an EFA, is that a small amount ~0.2% of C15 is needed to strengthen :flex: cell walls. also 0.2% is being defined as the minimum ok level while below this is now considered a deficiency :horror: and is now noed as Cellular Fragility Syndrome or just C15 Deficiency.
One of the reasons this C15 deficiency is being recognized as important is ferroptosis. Also discovered a little over 10-ish years agoes { :secret: 2012} ferroptosis is the 4th ... :secret: though really 5th ... noed way that hooman cells die (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/goodnight.gif) the other three being autophagy, pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis yeah I noes that's 4 :moon:
What makes ferroptosis so speeshul is that it relates to iron :flex: and is a type of programmed cellular death BUT one that can be triggered by iron overload :frantic: Also the mechanism that killz the cell is via highly up regulated Reactive Oxygen Species {RoS} in our friends the mitochondria :horror:
Q: Why is this a thang? Don't we need iron? you asks :drama:
A: Yes :yes: but amemberz I is LiverMan :superman:
So here's the thang ... low C15 levelz in red blood cells :suck: means the red blood cellz are weak :wedgie: The hooman liver has a minimum height requirement in order to ride the vascular roller coaster and the red blood cellz that don't measure up git :buttkick: ed into the recycle bin. The problem is when that recycle bin fills up too fast you git iron overload which results in iron deposits in the Liver :no:
This iron deposit sets off the ferroptosis nuklear option :boom: and generally annoys the liver and when the liver gits upset it starts producing :asiel: quality memos :horror: Fer realz :yes: basically the liver says what to does with glucose in the blood and sends memos to many organs including the pancreas for INSULIN stat :frantic: when needed. This is one of the first hallmarks of insulin resistance onset and is a noed thang from many of those other iron depositing liver diseases and what knotts like cirrhosis and hepatitis etc.
Now to make matters worserer iron deposits in the liver can slooowly migrate into the pancreas :no: and here's the kicker Glutathione {GSH} one of the BIG RoS neutralizers ... varies a lot A LOT in the pancreas but most importantly the beta cells are always and naturally low in glutathione peroxidase {GPx} the main enzyme that stops RoS damage.
Now tying eberythang together ... ONE of the consequences {and there is more than one} of C15 deficiency is weak red blood cells. These cells wear out faster and begin depositing iron in the liver :naughty: This leads to glucose dysregulation via :leisa: quality memos resulting in insulin resistance. As the dysregulation continues and iron is shunted into the pancreas the beta cells begin to git injured by the iron ... like a fox in a hen house :frantic: This is where insulin production is effected and along with the liver memos from HECK {tanassi} is a mechanism for the onset of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus {T2DM].
The Cellular Stability Hypothesis: Evidence of Ferroptosis and Accelerated Aging-Associated Diseases as Newly Identified Nutritional Pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0) Deficiency Syndrome (https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1989/14/7/355) <= The journal Metabolites
K here's the thang it's more than just about T2DM it also asplainz why young peoplez are getting diseases of olde peoplez afores their parents :yes: And even more importantly this is a longevity hack :oz:
Back a few years agoes dad had an aneurysm ... only there was no reason for it :nono: After MRI's and genetic testing and annoying number of vascular and :heart: tests to rule out plumbing issues the doktorz literally came to the conclusion that sometimez these thangs just happen :dunno:
Being the doog :sun: :rimshot: and a proper psighentist unlike the medical quacks I figured out the C15 connection 8) Srsly afores this the closest thang to an asplination was too muches (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) oil resulting in blood thinning ... which werks but is kinda borderline realistic in dad's case since he also had prothrombin time test and it was better than most peoplez.
Anywho the point is this was NOT a iron depositing liver thang :nono: this was a cellular fragility thang SO ... :whatever: ... I gotted C15, then dissolve it in MCT oil and mix it in with cod liver oil for him to take :angel:
Oh and once upon a time the main source of C15 in the US diet was :cow: milk 'n :cheese: the problem is it needs to be whole FAT, preferrably unpasteurized and ideally NOT ultra processed. The FDA's push for low fat is what created the issue with kids getting diseases their grandparents got afores their parents. It's also why there's a large number of cognitive and developmental issues with newborns etc.
Coinkadinkally this also supports the siguie brand push for vast quantities of vit.C and antioxidants like POM and glutathione 8) but that's another show ... it's Thursdazed :fist:

Being the doog :sun: :rimshot: and a proper psighentist unlike the medical quacks I figured out the C15 connection 8) Srsly afores this the closest thang to an asplination was too muches (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) oil resulting in blood thinning ... which werks but is kinda borderline realistic in dad's case since he also had prothrombin time test and it was better than most peoplez.
Anywho the point is this was NOT a iron depositing liver thang :nono: this was a cellular fragility thang SO ... :whatever: ... I gotted C15, then dissolve it in MCT oil and mix it in with cod liver oil for him to take :angel:
Oh and once upon a time the main source of C15 in the US diet was :cow: milk 'n :cheese: the problem is it needs to be whole FAT, preferrably unpasteurized and ideally NOT ultra processed. The FDA's push for low fat is what created the issue with kids getting diseases their grandparents got afores their parents. It's also why there's a large number of cognitive and developmental issues with newborns etc.
Coinkadinkally this also supports the siguie brand push for vast quantities of vit.C and antioxidants like POM and glutathione 8) but that's another show ... it's Thursdazed :fist:

Quote from: Spaceweather.comMULTIPLE CMEs ARE HEADING FOR EARTH: The past 48 hours of high solar activity has propelled three CMEs toward Earth, including one launched by a strong X-class solar flare. Predicted impacts on Aug. 9/10th, 11th and 12th could spark days of minor (G1) to strong (G3) geomagnetic storms. Sky watchers may be able to see and photograph mid-latitude auroras this weekend.

Still mid 80s but otherwise not muches to report :sigh:
Minions still are clueless on home laundry kemystery :woe:
One gotted engine grease on a cotton shirt from some sport team he likes and thunked pouring diethyl ether through was a doog idea :roll: Well it's not his worst idea :nono: Anywho I pointed out what he should does is use a waterlos hand cleaner like Permatex or Goop ... ones with NO pumice :nono: ... werk it in real doog around the entire stain plus a half inch or so. However the trick is to start just outside of the stain and werk into it else you just spread it more like by pouring diethyl ether directly in the middle :woe: then let it sit for a few hours and wash it.
FYI: I likes Force 5 citrus with pumice for actual hand washing :wiggle:
In other newses ... I'm realy starting to like the PEMF ffuts :yes:
Anywho there is a lot of research on PEMF psoriasis as well as sciatica and GERD iffen yer interested :yes: BUT I would stay away from commercial devices not only are they stoopid :egg: spensive :faint: there is a lot a LOT of :carp: being sold :unthumbs:
Kale night agin :no: ... but I came up with a :burger: Dad really likes :liplick: :yes: it's a grounded :turkey: with chicken italian sausage ... skillet fried with a siguie brand pineapple teriyaki. The :secret: is I add wagyu :cow: tallow and ghee into the :burger: and fry it in ghee while toasting the buns in the oily fond. Oh and dad doesn't like "spicy' but the sauce has :boo: essence of jalapeno. Anywho it goes doog with cooked kale :yucky: salty air fryed :tater: and buckets of :tomato: and jail braked vegetation :angel:

:frantic:
Where was I?
:bsl:
Oh...busy.
First...the K where was we was inneresting tho my somem do not suck...they are just understandable to :rbrain: ed peoples. :nana:
And cukes... :happydance: Ever do a freezer 'pickle'? We usta does just cuke, onion, vinegar & sugar in whatever proportions...seems maybe some dill or something & freeze. When they thaw they are almost like fresh cucumbers.
When J was little she usta would eat a cucumber like an apple. :yes:
We've been crazy busy. :run: Mom's yard, our yard,...then J spent the weekend with Mom so :b: & I :bliss2: and :elfparty: cuz it's so very rare any more that we have time 'alone'. :yes:
And now...we'ze getting ready to say :bye: to Shaggy. :candle: I'll spare the details but it's time. He's spent a week in our walk-in closet & he's literally wasting away. He just turned 17. He's had a doog life. No medical issues.
But enough of that cuz if I go down that road I'll be :bawling: once again. I mourned a week ago when I knew it was near. And then off & on since then.
The girls (who will be 18 on 8/22) are both fairly good though Stripes is dealing with congestion. The Princess, Sweets, is enjoying her days basking in the heat. And both of them eat like little horses. :cat: :cat:
So the Matthew clan has gone from bad to worse. The step-dad in in the hospital with pancreatitis. Again. And his mom had an MRI on her back but the doc said there was literally nothing to be done except for her losing weight. She is morbidly obese. Has become moreso since marrying pancreatitis guy.
Matthew is scheduled to see a cardiologist cuz it seems every time he does the least little bit of anything his heart starts racing. I has no definition of 'racing' other than "over 100bpm". :sigh: And he's scheduled to have his gallbladder removed. :wall:
I know that WFPBNO would tremendously help them all but I have no influence. Supposedly the step-dad did say he's gonna 'try' to follow the diet the hospital gives him this time. I have no earthly idea what that diet may be other than presumably low-fat.
But when you mentioned younger peoples getting old peoples ailments... :boom:
I would not be surprised iffin Matthew does not have substantial arterial blockages. He's always been one of those who flushes & overheats quite easily.
Also... I really do feel like I've developed IR cuz really my middle gets bigger though I am still eating quite 'well'... WFPB-well. :chuckle: So iffin I eats some :cheese: will that put me back on the 'right' path. I ain't gonna eat :cow: :no: But cottage cheese :drool: or greek yogurt :drool: I could does that quite easily. Once upon a time ago I ate one or the other most days for breakfast.
It's really is complicated. :buttkick: When tweaking for optimum whatevers for 3 different bodies.. :crazyeyes:

For a :tater: based family ... (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/couchpotato.gif) ... instead of restrictive diets it's actually better to start by having them find a non-doof related activity that they enjoy and can does together and give them all a 2000 Calorie per day budget.
Generally speaking when people git to their level they has to choose cold :turkey: themselves OR have them try to eat at a nermal calorie level. Iffen yer morbidly obese you either eat more than 2k calories a day OR hasn't left the couch in a few years. This easing into calorie restriction and pHyzical activity has more impact because they often feelz better and decide themselves to does more either pHyzicalization or just eat less :angel:

It's planting time here, too. :yes: I planted :arugula: :lettuce: (romaine) radishes & cucumbers Monday. :wiggle:
The cukes are a real test cuz it'll all depend on weather as to whether or not they gets to maturity.
Also getting ffuts gathered to seed the overwintering ffutses like kale & spinach.
Matthew has gallstones & the standard procedure for that here is gallbladder removal. :scared: ZA had hers removed...Travelling Aunt too tho that's when they found cancer. :crazyeyes:
And overnutrition for sure but also UPFs. :yes: I noes the whole processed thingy (everything is processed :p ) pushes your :button: like the word "organic" :lalala: but truly it's the sugar & salt & whoknowswhatelse in all of what's called ultra-processed.
He ate a :carp: ton of hot pockets as a kid. I mean like 3-4 a day every.single.day. Simple, quick, microwavable. That's what lots of working families leave in the freezer for their kids.
Oh oh oh!!! Came to tellz you early but couldn't post but get this...
Shaggy is still here. :wubsigh:
And... I found out he is 2 years younger than I believed.
:bsl:
He's only 15. A mere youngster. :chuckle:
And he has a very bad UTI! :faint:
They did a complete 'geriatric profile' & everything was excellent...better than expected for his age. Kidney function, thyroid, everything :thumbs:
And I learned a lesson. :sigh: He truly looked like he was dying. But after hearing the diagnosis & remembering when I was oh so sick & I noes I had that same blank stare...totally 'out of it'... I was being ageist. :chuckle: But truly, I looked like I was dying as well. :yes:
So he got a shot of antibiotic & a shot of painkiller (metacam & convenia) & they wants to see him in a week to make sure it is clearing up.
What a freakin rollercoaster. :bawling: :happydance:
yer WTFPB diet is literally carbovore based ... unless you are continuously in starvation mode or atleast eating 30% less than what you need it's kinda nermal :therethere:
Also that mid sectional adiposity can occur with or without IR and is just as much a sign of insufficient physical activity as IR.
Insufficient physical activity. :check: I am active...always busy. But haven't taken the time to does the 'right' kinds of movement.
And I'm not as cluelos as you make me out to be. :nana: I just likes :cheese: & was looking for an excuse. :hysterical:
But really, I think I feel better without it. Without dairy in general.
And I can does without the too many saltines I eats. :chuckle: They're quick, easy & satisfying. Kinda like the microwavable ffutses I mentioned earlier. :yes: I became a saltine junkie when I had the UTI & that was pretty much all I could eat.
So Sunday is our 40th Anniversary! :faint: :gstars: It's quite surreal.
But Mom insisted on taking us out & we've discussed every restaurant in West Tanasi & KY over the past couple weeks & finally I (yes me) decided on a steakhouse! :faint: :b: would thoroughly enjoy a steak... :j: might, too. And I can eat salmon or tuna steak or :whatever: . So we're gonna splurge. :yes: B has had a :burger: or 2 this year & a wee bit of chicken but he has not had a steak in a very long time.

:woe: That's purty olde skool :roll: the new-ish trend {last decade or two} is Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Gallbladder Drainage thang is even then EBERYONE has gallstones ya just treat them when they become a problem. Iffen Mathew's gallbladder is NOT infected and causing the sepsis they should postpone any surgeries 'cuz it's actually dangerous to perform surgeries on people with undiagnosed sepsis problems :uhoh:

Yeah so that's a common misconception :therethere: you really cannot target belly fat with :egg: sercise :nono: It's basically just yer body getting ready for wynter :yes: Despite the prevalent claims of the dangers of visceral fat :horror: as long as it's used up in 6 to 9 months it's unlikely to be a thang :oz:

UTI :huh: um that's literally one of the thangs colloidal silver :cs: is particularly doog at preventing and treating ... I thunked you was giving them lots of CS :scratch:

Yeah so that's a common misconception :therethere: you really cannot target belly fat with :egg: sercise :nono: It's basically just yer body getting ready for wynter :yes: Despite the prevalent claims of the dangers of visceral fat :horror: as long as it's used up in 6 to 9 months it's unlikely to be a thang :oz:

Believe it or not I was never a steak lover. :nonono: Growsing up we had steak every Saturday & I usta ask for something else...
When we dined out I almost always ordered clams, shrimp or lobster. :yes:
Steak is just too 'fleshy'. :p
So is ham. :scared:
:bsl:
And Stripes (with bad teef) gots the most cs cuz of geriatric near-liquid diet. The other 2 elders only gotted it once in awhile but Shaggy never seemed to have many issues except skin so I've used it topically.
Sometimes when ffutses has been going on (like last year's flea invasion :eek: ) I put in in the water for eeerbody.
But the timer just went off on another quart so Shaggy will now get aplenty. :yes:
I just did a BP artery test for the fun of it & my left arm was 116/72, left ankle 116/77. Right arm 128/75 & right ankle 128/74. :chuckle: I found it inneresting that they were almost identical on same side limbs. :rofl: And the right side was 12 points higher prolly cuz I'd been contorting around with the left side readings which I'd done first. :rofl: Instead of lying down I was sitting in a chair & for the ankles I put my leg up on the table. :hysterical: I noes it wasn't precise but my less-than-ideal situationalisms should have brought higher readings, if anything. The youtube doctor said to be lying down...relaxing for at least 5 minutes...
I'd better not has any blockages cuz I've worked too darn hard on dietizing us all. :woe:
Happy Thurzdaze! :rstars:

Quote from: NIHBrief, weekly magnetic muscle therapy improves mobility and lean body mass in older adults: a Southeast Asia community case study
Abstract
Brief (10 min) weekly exposure to low energy pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) has been shown to improve human muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics and attenuate systemic lipotoxicity following anterior cruciate ligament surgical reconstruction. Here we present data generated from 101 participants, 62% female, aged 38–91 years, recruited from the QuantumTx Demo Centre in Singapore, wherein 87% of participants (n = 88) presented with pre-existing mobility dysfunction and 13% (n = 13) were healthy volunteers. Participants were recruited if: (i) not pregnant; (ii) above 35 years of age and; (iii) without surgical implants. All participants completed mobility testing, pre- and post- PEMF intervention for 12 weeks, whereas bioelectrical impedance analysis was conducted in a subgroup of 42 and 33 participants at weeks 4 and 8, respectively. Weekly PEMF exposure was associated with significant improvements in mobility (Timed Up and Go, 5 times Sit-to-Stand, and 4m Normal Gait Speed) and body composition (increased skeletal muscle mass and reduced total and visceral fat mass), particularly in the older participants. Perception of pain was also significantly reduced. PEMF therapy may provide a manner to counteract age-associated mobility and metabolic disruptions and merits future investigation in randomized controlled trials to elucidate its clinical benefits in the frail and older adult populations.

Wow! Those photos are magnificent! :gstars:
And I pitted. :sigh: Not bad & not for long but still...
I already noed that my body is needing a shake up. :quake: K...not that much of a shakeup, but a change for sure. :yes:
Celery is one of the things my body tolded me it needs. :p And fewer saltines. :chuckle: I grab the crackers when I need something but don't wanna take time to eat or fix anything else. Plus I likes the salt. :chuckle: So I'm breaking the habit. :yes:
So I had to go to Martin 2 days in a row...and then to Jackson 2 days in a row. :crazyeyes: My sanctuary was missing me. :luvcry:
On Monday I took Mom back to the PRP Doc cuz she's gonna has another ablation. She's really struggling again as the 'fix' has worn off. I reminded her how they said that strengthening her core was paramount and she hasn't done a thing yet. But I told her I'd help her find some doog chair exercises or simple mat work & that when she's painlos again I wll help her get started.
I :buttkick: ed her. Told her that she DOES have 30 minutes a few times a week to make herself better. :shera:
She tends to has a fatalistic view in that 'why bother...it's too late to try or care now'. I told her point blank that she could live another 20 years. Ten, for sure cuz Buddy (her dad) was 91). She'll be 81 next month. Anyway, I asked her if she wanted to spend the rest of her days suffering & possibly immobile or being as healthy as possible & still going & doing & enjoying life?
She didn't answer. :rofl:
The PEMF does sound quite promising. :righton:
Kale night here today. :chuckle: My favorite meal...beans, greens & sweet taters! :yes: Great Northern, Kale & cubed sweet :tater: with a bit of maple syrup or dark brown sugar. :yes: Used to we always had hard boiled :egg: with this meal but now only once in awhile. Prolly not tonight cuz :b: just had that 9 oz filet mignon for our anniversary. :rofl: I had salmon. :yes:
So, speaking of :b: .... I figger he's developed a bit of IR as well cuz he's a teensy bit 'pudgy'. I will see if he's pitlos, later. Tho his shins are extraordinarily skinny. :rofl:
We still feel well. Still are committed to a WFPB mostly lifestyle. But I still feel a bit of tweaking would be helpful.
I am the canary. :drama: One 'cheat' at a fast doof restaurant or other fried food ffutses leaves my GI tract unhappy for 3 days.
B could eat it every day & suffer no ill consequences (that he knows of :horror: ). J is more like me but she cannot communicate what she feels.
Oh & yesterday Shaggy went in for recheck. They didn't bother to test cuz I'd bought PH litter (amazingly he's the only one who uses the litter box in my bathroom cuz it's near the closet he's been living in) & it's been blue. :yes: Plus he's only peeing a teensy bit. So they gave him another antibiotic shot & a tiny steroid shot this time. But he does seem improved. :yes:

"And I pitted. :sigh: Not bad & not for long but still... "
No worries it's kind of :egg: pected :therethere: yer a shrub ... mostly ... based carbivore yer options are limited to always being hungry, being very hungry 80% of the time OR rucking :thumbs: That's another thang I'm looking at :wiggle: basically it just means wearing a lot of :egg: tra weight typically in the form of a weighted vest. The idea is to recreate yer initial just starting WTFPB diet conditions without the angina :oz:
Amemberz ebery 3 pounds of weight gained includes atleast 1 pound of muskle. In other wurdz you need muskle to moove the more weight ... also heavier peoplez lose weight faster {not including water weight} 'cuz they has more muskle and their calorie use is higher. In other wurdz one of the reasons early in that WTFPB :horror: diet you ALL likely went and did keto the hard way was more weight/muskles needed more calories and you could only eat so much :rabbit: doof which is why youse were all hangry and in this Fasted mimicking state yer bodies turned on engine #2 and :boom: ketosis AND autophagy fer ALL :gstars: true story :yes:
Anywho ruking seemed inerestin :yes: so I thunked about it :wiggle: in particular I wanna noes iffen a weighted vest while on a Vibration Plate system burns more calories, 'cuz it seems like an easy :peas: y no :brain: er :cheer:
"So, speaking of :b: .... I figger he's developed a bit of IR as well cuz he's a teensy bit 'pudgy'. ..."
K stop now :thwack: ... pudginess does not equal Insulin Resistance :buttkick: Yer just using IR as a buzz wurd and it don't mean what you thinxz :nono: As mentioned afores ... abdominal adiposity ... espeeshully iffen not "hard" is more an indication of high fructose levelz {or cortisol} beyond the bodies caloric requirements.
Actual Insulin Resistance means yer body requires more insulin hormone than nermal to deal with a given amount of sugar/glucose in a specific amount of time. The easiest test for this is noed as an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test but even then there are different variations of IR such as those people who simply take longer to produce the needed amount of glucose as well as those who simply have poor circulation.
Pudginess does NOT mean what you thinxz :buttkick: the :thumb: indent thang is just the simplest test that has "some" merit. Also iffen you trully had "pitting edema" it would indicate a far FAR more serious issue OR that you is a diabetic and srsly messing up yer insulin :therethere:
The :thumbs: pressure thang simply shows you has more glycogen in yer system than yer liver and muskles :flex: noes what to does with. In general every 1 gram of glycogen hangs on to atleast 3 grams of water. When you has :egg: tra glycogen/water it wraps around yer liver but it also flows through the body like a slooow seeping bog. For most, espeeshully wiminz {it's an estrogen thang} this tends to accumulate in the legs. It's NOT "fat" :nono: but can makes legs and feetz swell BUT the shins where generally little fat is deposited happens to be a doog place to seez this soft :pillow: seeping bog of glycogen.
I'm NOT saying you should does this :nonono: BUT some form of keto is ONLY achievable AFTER all of the :egg: cess glycogen is used up. Yer body will still store glycogen in the liver and muskles :flex: but that's where it's supposed to be stored. Thinxz of those spots as the bodies fuel tank. Ebery where else is like strapping additional cans of fuel around yer car :oz: Yer body uses them cans first so it don't needz to carry them ... it's smate like that.
With each gram of glycogen :buttkick: ed 3 grams of water goes :bye: too :wave: This changes the :electrocute: environment dramatically and is why ketoerz need way WAY more salt :angel: Keep in mind most salt bp studies are done on carbivorez who are not starving themselves, this is why that group requires much less salt AND why most doktorz git salt requirements horribly wrong :woe:
Oh and agin NOT sezing to does it :nono: BUT the above reasons are why durmomma and ZA would likely does very well with a short keto/carnivore vakay :whistle:
"The PEMF does sound quite promising. :righton: "
Um yeah ... yer not real doog at the breadcrumb following by yerself is you :therethere:
:horn: Most of the PEMF ffuts I posted here as well as the photobiomodulation and keto/carnivore :carp: is geared more towards them :angel:
Fer instance the fact the PEMF is basically the same as LED therpaies just deeper penetrating ... the whole anti-inflammatory, circulation improving not to mention cartilage repairing and bone un-osteoperosing ... ok and Pandora too :yes:
Iffen light therapy werks PEMF is prolly gonna be betterer 'cuz you can use it longer and it's just easier not to mention the sleep improvements :zzz: as well as :brain: benefits :angel:
The main problem right now is that there is a lot of :carp: being sold AND it's stoopid :egg: spensive. So I've made a couple of rings and gotted dad using them :yes: And by "using" them I obliviously mean hid them in his chair and created an automated system to turn them on when he sits there 8) In the meantime I'm werking on :bump: ing the Gauss :vibes: and figuring out how to measure the Weber {Wb} then build a :vibes: mat :bliss:

Amemberz ebery 3 pounds of weight gained includes atleast 1 pound of muskle. In other wurdz you need muskle to moove the more weight ... also heavier peoplez lose weight faster {not including water weight} 'cuz they has more muskle and their calorie use is higher. In other wurdz one of the reasons early in that WTFPB :horror: diet you ALL likely went and did keto the hard way was more weight/muskles needed more calories and you could only eat so much :rabbit: doof which is why youse were all hangry and in this Fasted mimicking state yer bodies turned on engine #2 and :boom: ketosis AND autophagy fer ALL :gstars: true story :yes:
Anywho ruking seemed inerestin :yes: so I thunked about it :wiggle: in particular I wanna noes iffen a weighted vest while on a Vibration Plate system burns more calories, 'cuz it seems like an easy :peas: y no :brain: er :cheer:
"So, speaking of :b: .... I figger he's developed a bit of IR as well cuz he's a teensy bit 'pudgy'. ..."
K stop now :thwack: ... pudginess does not equal Insulin Resistance :buttkick: Yer just using IR as a buzz wurd and it don't mean what you thinxz :nono: As mentioned afores ... abdominal adiposity ... espeeshully iffen not "hard" is more an indication of high fructose levelz {or cortisol} beyond the bodies caloric requirements.
Actual Insulin Resistance means yer body requires more insulin hormone than nermal to deal with a given amount of sugar/glucose in a specific amount of time. The easiest test for this is noed as an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test but even then there are different variations of IR such as those people who simply take longer to produce the needed amount of glucose as well as those who simply have poor circulation.
Pudginess does NOT mean what you thinxz :buttkick: the :thumb: indent thang is just the simplest test that has "some" merit. Also iffen you trully had "pitting edema" it would indicate a far FAR more serious issue OR that you is a diabetic and srsly messing up yer insulin :therethere:
The :thumbs: pressure thang simply shows you has more glycogen in yer system than yer liver and muskles :flex: noes what to does with. In general every 1 gram of glycogen hangs on to atleast 3 grams of water. When you has :egg: tra glycogen/water it wraps around yer liver but it also flows through the body like a slooow seeping bog. For most, espeeshully wiminz {it's an estrogen thang} this tends to accumulate in the legs. It's NOT "fat" :nono: but can makes legs and feetz swell BUT the shins where generally little fat is deposited happens to be a doog place to seez this soft :pillow: seeping bog of glycogen.
I'm NOT saying you should does this :nonono: BUT some form of keto is ONLY achievable AFTER all of the :egg: cess glycogen is used up. Yer body will still store glycogen in the liver and muskles :flex: but that's where it's supposed to be stored. Thinxz of those spots as the bodies fuel tank. Ebery where else is like strapping additional cans of fuel around yer car :oz: Yer body uses them cans first so it don't needz to carry them ... it's smate like that.
With each gram of glycogen :buttkick: ed 3 grams of water goes :bye: too :wave: This changes the :electrocute: environment dramatically and is why ketoerz need way WAY more salt :angel: Keep in mind most salt bp studies are done on carbivorez who are not starving themselves, this is why that group requires much less salt AND why most doktorz git salt requirements horribly wrong :woe:
Oh and agin NOT sezing to does it :nono: BUT the above reasons are why durmomma and ZA would likely does very well with a short keto/carnivore vakay :whistle:
"The PEMF does sound quite promising. :righton: "
Um yeah ... yer not real doog at the breadcrumb following by yerself is you :therethere:
:horn: Most of the PEMF ffuts I posted here as well as the photobiomodulation and keto/carnivore :carp: is geared more towards them :angel:
Fer instance the fact the PEMF is basically the same as LED therpaies just deeper penetrating ... the whole anti-inflammatory, circulation improving not to mention cartilage repairing and bone un-osteoperosing ... ok and Pandora too :yes:
Iffen light therapy werks PEMF is prolly gonna be betterer 'cuz you can use it longer and it's just easier not to mention the sleep improvements :zzz: as well as :brain: benefits :angel:
The main problem right now is that there is a lot of :carp: being sold AND it's stoopid :egg: spensive. So I've made a couple of rings and gotted dad using them :yes: And by "using" them I obliviously mean hid them in his chair and created an automated system to turn them on when he sits there 8) In the meantime I'm werking on :bump: ing the Gauss :vibes: and figuring out how to measure the Weber {Wb} then build a :vibes: mat :bliss:

Oh yeah ... Insulin Resistance {IR} ... for the most part you really need to does a glucose tolerance test for an actual determination :yes: Waist size only becomes a potential indicator at 40+ :roll: ... yeah I had to look that one up :whistle: The closest thang you might has for an IR indicator is A1C espeeshully iffen it's been :bump: ing up slooowly over time. Tech :nickel: ly the 7% to 8% is now considered the cutoff for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus {T2DM} and 5.7% is the cut for Pre-T2DM ...which I'm purty sure has been raised :scratch: agin :gaah:
Anywho IR and pre-T2DM are/can be related but are NOT the same :nono:
That said unless B's a1c has changed recently he should not has any dentable leggy bits :nono: Iffen he does you or atleast HE should go hardcore Dr.E's protocol stat :buttkick: For him it should be less about IR and more about quelling chronic inflammatory issues.
Anywho IR is a broad term generally referring to when the bodies cells do not take up glucose properly, in cases of cell "resistance" the cells need more insulin before they deploy the glucose transport enzymes {GLUTs :flex: } to take up glucose. To complicate matters not all cells require insulin and some need more than others.
To make thangs even more confusing ... as is my wont :bliss: ... "Insulin Resistance" can also refer to problems in the bodies signaling system. Like when the liver sends out :asiel: memos to the pancreas :horror: and mayhem ensues :sofa:
In any event the "fat" to be wary of is "visceral" fat, this is fat that you CANNOT pinch :nono: The reason waist measurement has any significance is that this fat forms around organs and adds to waist circumference. The pinchable fat is fine and nermal and don't mean muches of anythin other than yer ready for wynter :thumbs:
The problem is most people, including doktorz, don't unerstanz the difference :gaah: and of course those with large amounts of visceral fat often have subcutaneous fat BUT this is not always the case. Thang is it is actually doog to has some subcutaneous adiposity :angel:
In cases ya didn't notice one of my :button: s is when medikal termz are used all willy & nilly likes without meaning what they mean :pullhair:
Oh and fat related ... nonalcoholic fatty liver disease {NAFLD} ... is when the liver is 5% fat or more by weight BUT while there is a strong correlation with visceral fat surrounding the liver the liver fat is sorta NOT itself visceral fat even though tech :nickel: ly it is :yes: Why is this important and why did I bring this up out of the BLUE ... the term "fat" or adipose tissue can refer to any of 3 different types of fat and the term visceral fat just refers to which side of the abdominal muskles it is on. But more importantly the body treats the fats in different locations differently :duh: and the reason this is important is more than :egg: sercise diet tellz the body what to does with the fat in different locations.
For instance too much fat inside the liver {NAFLD} is worserer than the fat around the liver BUT both are considered visceral fat. When a diet starts up the keto engine the inside liver fat is one of the first fat/fuel storage locations to be used. On a strict carbovore diet when a caloric deficit occurs the first fat lost tends to be the subcutaneous fat.
This is why a relatively short keto or carnivore diet can have such a profound effect :angel: That said it don't actually count unless the body is actually in some level of ketosis.

:yes: The poor feller has chronic pancreatitis with multiple acutenesses as well as Type 2 diabetes. ( :duh: ). He's also the one who had the diabetic ulcer in the most annoying place. :yes:
But he has yet to does anything diet-wise & not done anything other than take the meds, whatever they may be.
Most peoples here will not adopt any kind of diet that excludes the fried catfish, fried chicken, & greasy pork bbq.
It's deeply ingrained.
In a related thingy, there was a restaurant in Martin called Fresh Market & the owner/cook was from Egypt, I believe :scratch:
Middles Eastern for sure. He had falafel, hummus, eggplant, wraps, paninis, beautiful salads, plus many 'typical' southern fares. It was one of my favorite restaurants. :yes: Well now... it is gone :sigh: and it's been replaced by Big Daddy's Barbecue. And the cars in the parking lot (it's on my grocery route) have tripled if not quadrupled. :yes:
And the vegetarian restaurant in Paris is long gone. :sigh:
Healthy don't stand a chance around heres. :woe:
The HOT is here! 95 right now then 100, 100, 100 for the next 3 days. :heat:
BUT...the unusual thing is that we are dry! Desert dry. :yes: So at 6AM when I am on the veranda I needs sweats & a jacket as it's been mid 50s-60ish. By 9AM it is HOT, by noon...TOO DANG HOT! :faint:
I've been watering all day today. As much for the :butterfly: and birds & all as for the plants.
So very thankful for our well. :hail: water.
So tomorrow I is apposta be receiving a brand new carbon steel wok. :happydance: B had bought me a Calphalon coated with somesuch large wok-like pan that axshully made an awesome wok. Til the coating began coming off. :fist: It couldn't handle the heat. And especially sans oil.
So...any suggestion on how to season it quickly so as to use it asap?
My carbon steel skillet I just oiled after every use until it got 'just right' and now i oils no more. :yes:
Google AI says this:
To season a carbon steel wok for the first time, you can try these steps:
Clean the wok: Wash the wok with warm water and dish soap to remove any factory oils.
Heat the wok: Heat the wok to open its pores and prepare the surface for oil.
Apply oil: Brush a thin layer of oil over the entire surface of the wok. You can use many different oils, such as vegetable, canola, grapeseed, or avocado oil. Avoid diluted oils or oils with filler ingredients.
Heat again: Heat the wok until the oil starts to smoke. This process, called polymerization, burns the oil onto the wok's metal to create a nonstick coating. You can rotate the wok to ensure the color changes evenly.
Repeat: Repeat the oiling and heating process a few times to build up a thick layer of seasoning. The wok is fully seasoned when it has a dark, semi-glossy patina.
It also says you can does it in the oven but my wok has a wooden handle & I don't wanna take the handle off. :nonono:

:happydance:
My mock sense is tingling (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/spiderman.gif) :hmm2:
BUT ... yes there is a classic asian wok seasoning method used for that first wok use scenario :yes:
Here's the Mamma Fong (https://mammafong.com/blogs/mammas-cooking-diary/fail-proof-way-to-season-a-wok-how-to-season-a-wok-in-oven-a-happy-customers-review-and-his-secret-seasoning-method-revealed) asplination but the :secret: is a combination of leeks and ginger along with the oil ... fer realz :yes:
Here's the thang ... yer flat :butt: wok is the wrong shape and wrong metal thickness so the seasoning process gits messed up :therethere: the use of leaks and ginger does two thangs it moderates the temperature AND evens out the heat. Additionally this combo adds their own essence :vibes: while removing the carbon polymer buildup. Ya noes how carbon pans git that nasty sticky goo :blob: ... of course not you don't use enough oil :buttkick: Anywho that goo isn't "non-stick" but the ginger leek combo removes it :bliss:
Anywho this process does more than just season it literally makes the thang non-stick the way it would be after a dozen uses or so :angel:
Now do you really need to waste ginger and leaks for this ... :nono: ... you can use :tater: peelz instead ... the same way you'd season a new carbon pan :angel: The downside is it wont be that bootiful copper gold colour :wubsigh: but that don't last past the first use no how :sigh:
Also yeah the flat :butt: is what you need for :electrocute: :therethere: but it :suck: s Also :check: yer wok handle for a plug pull :yes: doog woks tend to has easy :peas: y handle removal systems :yes:
Also for fiddy dollars there's the Concord Outdoor Burner 12" Wok Block, 45,000 BTU (https://amzn.to/3T48U0Q) <= Amazon link that could easily just live on top of yer grill :oz:
Or even betterer and cheaper there's the CONCORD 12" THE BLOCK BURNER Single Propane Outdoor Burner. (https://amzn.to/3ACumDD) <= Amazon link ... you'd need a wok ring for a real wok BUT yers has a flat :butt: anywho and this puts out twice the heat :vibes:
30k btu is purty much the minimum for wok cookery with a real round :butt: wok and 45k is a doog place to learn :yes: I used to has a :turkey: deep fryer that I converted to an 80k BTU wok :thumbs:
Anywho flat :butt: woks are really just frying pans with tall sides made for peoplez who insist on low temp :electrocute: cooking :whistle:
"Most peoples here will not adopt any kind of diet that excludes the fried catfish, fried chicken, & greasy pork bbq.
It's deeply ingrained. "
Like I keeps :blah: :blah: :blah: ing ... there's no problemo with that :nono: THOSE doofs are literally what would be ideal for keto or carnivore diets :thumbs: The problem is NOT these doofs it's the metabolic gridlock that results when people mix these with carbs :horror:
Thinxz of it this way ... engine #2 would be happy to run on these :yes: BUT adding in 20g or more carbs {about 4 tsp of sugar}, then engine #2 shuts down and a body needs to process all of this oil and protein with no place to put them :frantic:
Srsly those are NOT bad doof choices by there lonesomes :nono: :thwack:
"In a related thingy, there was a restaurant in Martin called Fresh Market & the owner/cook was from Egypt, I believe :scratch: "
Ooooh middle eastern is ok :yes: BUT I quite like Egyptian cuisine in particularz :thumbs: there are just a lot of doof that is completely different than anywherez else :wubsigh:
"Healthy don't stand a chance around heres. :woe: "
You srsly need to broaden yer unerstanzings about diet and health :therethere: yer healthy whurled view is horribly limited :yes: What you consider healthy will kill as many as greasy bbq just in other ways :yes: and without the deliciousness :liplick:

I DO unnerstanz what you say about 'healthy' doof choices. :yes: But here none of it is consumed without sweet tea or Mt Dew AND...lots & lots of desserts.
There is a reason we lead in diabetes and coronary artery disease. :yes:
But Dude...some doof IS simply less healthy. :yes: Way back in 2003 when J was hospitalized for pancreatitis the children's hopsickle in Louisville had ONLY a McD's as an in-building dining option. And vending machines. The McD's was different in that it had some hopsickle-type ffuts like :popcorn: and quick-grab muffins & suches but it was still McD's.
After 3 days of eating it B & I both had such unhappy bellies we HAD to find another option. That's when we learnt that the hopsickle across the street had a real cafeteria.
They gotted rid of the McD's. :chuckle: I dunno what, if anything, is there now.
And THIS! Now do you really need to waste ginger and leaks for this ... :nono: ... you can use :tater: peelz instead ... the
You read my thoughts again! :woe: I was reading along thinking, "I really don't wanna drive to Jackson or Murray for leeks". :woe:
They are not a common doof in these parts. :chuckle:
So I will watch the video & really consider an outdoor burner for :fall: & winter. Ain't outdoor wokking in 100 degrees weathers. :rofl:
Remember tho, my Samsung :electrocute: stove gets hotter than I think it's apposta be allowed to get. :chuckle:
It's been quite a learning curve cuz for months I burned everything. :sigh:
I cannot cook anything in my carbon steel skillet above med/med-high. And I am frequently lifting it off the heat at that. :crazyeyes: I likes it, but most peoples do not. :scared:
The oven goes to 550, too. :eek:
Anyway....time to move it indoors. :sigh: It was a beautiful morning. :bliss:

And...my wok-to-be is 14 gauge thickness which is what they said was ideal. :righton:
Now all I gotta does is wait on delivery. :popcorn:
I had learned to make a very fine oillos stir fry in the calphalon coated thingy... :candle:

Ooooh k this is Oreo cookie guy's video and he's referencing the JACC paper that came out in early August. In particular this is in regards to LMHR and near LMHR phenotypes { :secret: Lean Mass Hyper Responders } on Low Carbohydrate diets {aka Keto} over many years ~4.5.
The thang is these folk show a BIG :bump: in cholesterol when low carbing and on average LDL-C of 272 and one high score LDL-C of 591 :faint: they were then matched with non-low carbers with LDL-C below 149 mg/dLfor controls.
Heart of the Matter: Higher LDL on Keto Does NOT Mean More Plaque. (https://youtu.be/PZ9OZUDz90Y?si=Y7Ia4eMV-D4CKf_R) <= youtube video ~16min
Basically :egg: tremely high LDL ... according to current :electrocute: :rimshot: medical wisdom :mina: ... shoulda increased the plaque burden, espeeshully over more than 4 years :uhoh:
The Results ... :share:
There was no correlation between LDL-C level and CCTA coronary plaque. :yesss:
Here's the actual paper ...
Carbohydrate Restriction-Induced Elevations in LDL-Cholesterol and Atherosclerosis: The KETO Trial (https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2024.101109)
Tech :nickel: ly this only applies to LMHR and near LMHR phenotypes BUT as mentioned afores LDL numbers as a single metric is prolly :carp: :wiggle:
:yawn: :coffee:
K so where was we ...
So Interleukin-11 {Il-11} has gotted a lot of attention recently :yes: {July 17, 20224 Nature :whistle: } basically when the il-11 protein is blocked mice live longer ... about 22% to 25% longerer. More importantly blocking il-11 in older mices reduces fragility along with the life :egg: stension :bump: :yesss:
Here's the thang il-11 is part of the gp130 fambily of cytokines which all happen to use glycoprotein 130 hence the name. The important part is that il-11 is a widely used and versatile signaling protein that the body uses :egg: tensively. The thang to unerstanz is that it can be proinflammatory as well as protective. However, in aged subjects il-11 is believed to be involved in chronic inflammation also referred to as inflammaging :rimshot: ... srsly though it's a thang :yes:
Another thang to take note of is il-11 is associated with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (https://www.clinexprheumatol.org/abstract.asp?a=16647) and ... Interleukin-11 therapy selectively downregulates type I cytokine proinflammatory pathways in psoriasis lesions (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC409858/) ... :wiggle:
Q: So why is I :blah: :blah: :blah: ing about this?
Doog Question :yes:
A: PEMF :yesss:
Amemberz I is very doog with relationships ... no not that kind :buttkick: ... the thang is PEMF is noed for bone healing, pain reduction, blood flow :suck: reduced inflammation ... yada yada and no one really has a doog idea how or why or atleast not how it werks for eberythang :nono: Atleast part of the correlation is bone regrowing involves il-11 :yes: and the no pain thang agin il-11 :yes: , reduced inflammation il-11 FTW :yes: improved circulation .... yeah I got nuthin :sigh: but maybe :dunno:

Mr :smateypants:
This: Yeah so calphalon is the company that makes the thang and "coated" sounds like this was a non-stick thang which means the upper temp would be below 500°F while a doog wok can hit 750°F. So not completely sure why you want a wok? :scratch:
I kilt the calphalon with too much heat! HEAT, not temperature. :nana:
And I doesn't care about alternative drink sweeteners cuz we don't drink it. :p I noes there are options. Always.
Heck, I've even made a pretty doog biscuit with applesauce in place of oil/shortening, almond milk & a splash of vinegar in place of :cow: milk.
Like you... I've learned to make really doog alternative doof tho it only took me 2 years. :nana:
I gave Mom & ZA some chili recently & they both honestly said it was the bestest chili they ever had.
And they didn't even miss the fat or meat. :nonono:
And I am not pushing avocados, walnuts & olive oil as healthy. :nonono: I am allowing a small amount of the first 2. And Jacki is the only one who gets olive oil on pasta or salad...sometimes...and I sometimes use a teaspoon or less iffin I really has to. And I use coconut oil for :popcorn: 2-4x a month. :yes: I am NOT a slippery sloper. :nonono: That's what Dr E says...that iffin he allows a little bit of ffutses people will gradually ease back into lotsa fats. B would does that. :yes: I am surprisingly disciplined for a :enorah: :butterfly: type.
The high LDL, even on keto, is still :uhoh: cuz we been brainwashed :shower: :brain: to believe the numbers matter. :sigh:
B, moreso than me.
Yesterday Mom had to go back for another 'test' to get medicare to pay for her ablation. :gaah:
I think it's cruel. She gotted numbed. And we went to Books-a-Million, Michaels & Marshalls. They all neighbors in a strip mall.
She walked down the sidewalk, was enjoying browsing ffutses, and then :boom: I could see it. The numbing walked off & she was in so much pain again. :sigh: I walked back for the van & we all came home.
Anyway...she has to go through TWO such tests to see if she qualifies for the ablation. She had one last year & then she opted to pay out of pocket for the ablation in order to get it well before Christmas. But this time she's suffering through the second test so medicare will pay.
Zen Aunt (who was the manager of medical clinic & worked in the field for 40 years) said... 'They would pay tens of thousands for a back surgery without hesitation, but for a 'relatively' inexpensive procedure they make her jump through these drawn out hoops'.
I think it's cuz they're hoping those who can will pay like Mom did last time. :sigh: Mom's got enough monies...but not enough either if ya get the gist. :yes:

Mom's financial state has absolutely nothin to does with Biden. :nonono:
Wait! It axshully does. Her investment portfolio has been goesing up, up, UP just like B's 401K! :happydance:
She lives on SS (which is pretty doog cuz Dad made doog monies) & has a bit invested & a bit saved that she'd really rather not spend cuz she's scared SS could go away (as Trump has threatened) &/or she could outlive her monies.
You still think the mentally ill orange autocrat is gonna win? :huh: :nonono:
And no... :therethere: Mom & ZA don't drink sweet tea, either. :nonono: Mom weaned us off of it in the 70s when sugar became scarce & expensive. Zen Aunt does stevia &/or monkfruit. Mom is a no-sugar kinda gal like me. :yes:

Wait! It axshully does. Her investment portfolio has been goesing up, up, UP just like B's 401K! :happydance: "
:scratch: How does you think he did that? :popcorn:
None of his proposals passed :nono:
Also why would you thinxz trump would cut social security? :dunno:
"You still think the mentally ill orange autocrat is gonna win? :huh: :nonono: "
Hadn't really thunked mores about it :scratch: but yes even more so :yes: Harris was never a better candidate than Biden :nono: the Democrats shoulda woulda gone with RFK iffen they had a choice which they didn't :nono:
Iffen she wanted a dooger VP she woulda picked Josh Shapiro :yes: the only thang Tim Walz brings to the table is more electoral votes from swing states.
The thang to keep in mind is that BOTH sides are crooks and criminals who are navigating a system to promote their own agenda{s}. The president is a :sockpuppet: the weaker their personality the more power the people behind them have. Harris and Walz are the weakest team EBER :roll: they were also completely unprepared and had to wing the campaign. The only thangs Kamala is known for are the things she doesn't want to be known for which is why she has to "walk back" from all the things she was promoting LIKE "Bidenomics" which iffen it was so doog she'd be toughting how doog the economy is now and not asplaining how bad thangs are and how she's going to fix eberythang without asplaining anythin :woe:
The last time Trump was president I was skeered :uhoh: 'cuz he was :crazy: BUT I also noed Hilary was a :horror: ... Thang is Trump did way WAY better than anyone coulda hoped for :faint: So yeah Mr.Felon for President :cheer:
Of course I is British and don't vote :nono: the main thang blocking his auto-win is the number of unVaxed republicanz that died from covid :whistle:
That said Kamala might just give him the presidency :woe: ... I thunked he might lose iffen they gotted him mad and he sed the stoopid BUT so far it's just Kamala doesing the stoopid :share:
"And no... :therethere: Mom & ZA don't drink sweet tea, either. :nonono: ..."
Garsh you'd almost thinxz they'd does well on a keto diet :scratch: weird whoda thunk that :whistle:
Um yeah so didja ask Mr.Google about PEMF? :pullhair:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
The stoopidest thang is 20-ish years ago the ancient minions thunked light therapy :vibes: was :woo: and would neber beleebz me :nono: NOW they all has photobiomodulatorz ffuts and swear by them but now PEMF is :woo: even though a couple had or used PEMF systems and swear by them :gaah:
In other newses ... after 6-ish years I'm gitting a new 3D printer :drama: Partially 'cuz it's a tad worn out and Apparently 1 my replacement part stockpile has runned out :horror: Srsly Spridal has doned doog :therethere: but the new bits 'n bobs will cost almost as muches as a new printer :gaah: So I getted a new fancy schmancy one :bliss:
The nice part is that after 6 years they really has improved the thangs :yes: I'll keep Spridal for the coarse strong :flex: ABS parts but my new printer will has higher precision and accuracy so I can make all-in-one prints :happydance:
FYI: 99% of the time I'm just printing :electrocute: enclosures for projects or fabricating one offs for :egg: speriments or :carp: that has mysteriously gone :boom: and burst into flame (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) for absolutely no reason :nono:
K that's it I has doesed my due diligence and just now noticed the last minion has escaped :whip: so I'm outa here :yesss: and goesing to kale night :sigh: Oh and do to labour dazed Munday Kale night will be Toozedazed Kale night :wave: :run:

I am not interested in a full on debate cuz well...better things to does... :elfparty: :bliss:
But obliviously you are not paying very close attention lately. 45 has done & said a LOT of stoopid recently Plus he looks like :carp2b: His health is deteriorating along with his :brain: And HE said he wants to get rid of SS.... at minimum he wants to cut it way back. The rich think of it as a handout. The working sloof think of it as an entitlement as they have paid into it their entire working life.
Anyway...he's dangerous. :yes: I 'know' this. :yes:
But que sera, sera. :whatever:
In a couple months I'll gets to say "Told ya so". :nana: :bsl:
Nah... that's not me. :nonono: I'll just laugh. :hysterical:
PEMF :yes: I peeked. But you said the systems for sale were stoopy spensive or ineffective & only the one you made yourself was worthy. :drama: (slight embellishment :rofl: ) So I went back to my regularly schedule program.
:bsl:
Question... If I pour liquid xylitol into a silicone mold will it come out of the mold easily? :scratch:
I saw an Asian someone making xylitol candies & pouring it into a silicone mold with teensy widdle hearts. :wubsigh:
But recently we were at Michaels craft store & they had zillions (ok...maybe millions :p ) of different silcone molds & Jacki wanted to buy one. But at that time I didn't know what I would pour into it other than water for ice
. :rofl:

Oh I has half a tray of xylisigs candies :yes: that's basically 1 weeks supply between me and minions :whip:
Anywho here's a siguie brand 1TakeWunderz video (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/1takewunderz003.mp4) it's under 2 minutes but the xylitol tray is showed in the first few seconds the rest is PEMF ffuts :yes:
It's just my twin ring system and ... mostly ... me trying to shows the effective distance ... prolly shouldn't has used the closeup camera :sigh: Anywho the twin rings is set to the looowest and slooowest setting which is 1Hurtz at 1% dooty cycle. I was trying to shows off it's POWER :flex: but it's too strong :superman: So I just has it flicking a magnet back and forth about 8 to 12 inches away {~25cm}. At the very very end I showed the magnetic viewing film on some small magnets ... it's supposed to be able to show up to 1000G :cheer: but I'm thinking that's mG not G :gaah: But it's purty :wiggle:
Anywhow not showed but I can measure a Gauss :bump: a meter away that's still very VERY High Weber :cheer:

This was from 8 years ago and is a BEMER pemf units effect on Alcoholic Liver Disease after 2 weeks every other day. This is NOT NAFLD but back then NAFLD wasn't well noed :nono: and it is based on the alcoholic version which this is :oz:
Effect of BEMER on circulation in Liver (https://youtu.be/IbZjCCNFNq0?si=dt3_SNp-FPanzIso) <= youtube video ~1min
This one is a video short of an arteriole {small capillary} in the intestine.
Intestinal capillary movement (https://youtube.com/shorts/TnCnUgbDMeI?si=n-P20tTZJq3PllhI) <= youtube short
Arterioles are small arterial pipes which are part of the microvascular system in the hooman body. These are the bits most prone to slooowing down and clogginess often associated with angina and various other circulatory issues. In particular Dr.E mentions frequently that oil "damages" the endothelials. It don't :nono: but many {most} oils do produce microvascular inflammation which in turn slooows down the microvascular system {arterioles, capillaries and venules}.
K tech :nickel: ly blood :suck: flows from ...
Arteries => Arterioles => Capillaries => Venules => Veins
... and the microvascular is from arterioles to venules :oz:
The reason this portion is important is the :heart: beat doesn't really push blood through these bits :nono: the body needz to :bump: thangs along with microvascular contractions and smooth muskles :flex:
Nitric Oxide dilates the vessels but it's the muskles that :bump: the liquid through the meaty bits. This is generally referred to as perfusion and appears to be one of the BIG thangs that PEMF does :yes:
Of course in the case of Mr.Liver there are Afferent arterioles bringin blood in Glomerulus doesing the filtering and Efferent arterioles taking the cleaned blood out :suck: So thangs git more complicated BUT that's still a cool video :share:

Anywho when durtmomma goes back for ablation :sebiv: tellz the doktor you was inerested in a PEMF mat for home and what he thunked :share:
Ok. :righton: Axshully, we go back on Thursday for her to report so I will ask then.
Also...your homemade 2 ring thingy looks cool but is :uhoh: sighency to me. :sigh:
The other videos are simply amazing. :yes: I needs that for my genetically dab veinage. :yes:
And for B, & Jacki & Mom & ... :yes:
So what was the final frame in your video? The marbles & filter-like thing?
And yes, those are the molds except they has like 100 different shapes at Michaels. :chuckle: J wanted one so very bad but at that time I did not noes of a use for them, being so small. She says...we can just make tiny ice cubes. :rofl:
So does you still melt xylitol with a coffee warmer or does you use a double boiler or some such now? :scratch:
I tried microwaving. It doesn't melt!!! :scared: They pyrex measuring cup gotted super hot...hotter than it does when I boil water in it (for times when you just need 1/2 c or so of boiling water).
:b: is stil on vacay today. :bliss2: Yesterday we took the seesters on a pickinick at Paris Landing. It was :blowme: Crazy :blowme: :bsl: But they seemed to enjoy it. :yes: Today I am feeding plants & he is detailing the vcls. :chuckle: Zanna vcl. :wub:
We are very :fall: like & dry. :sigh: Below average temps for the next 10 days or so. :bliss:

Temp: 97.5 °F currently :electrocute: :horror:
"Also...your homemade 2 ring thingy looks cool but is :uhoh: sighency to me. :sigh: "
Tech :nickel: ly that's doog :yes: This is one of them thangs that where noesing what you is doesing is kinda important :wiggle: I only shows you the BEMER made videos 'cuz their devices are FDA approved and as long as you don't has any metalic implants like pace makers 'n ffuts you should be in the more or less safe zone :wiggle:
Getting FDA approval AND :electrocute: safety certification costs a lot a LOT :faint: but atleast with BEMER you getted what you payz for :angel:
My twin rings are :electrocute: safe 'cuz I'm only using 12V 5A {60W max usually 0.5 to 6W} and 'cuz I :brain: ed the design so there are no over heating resistors or capaciters :electrocute: and :boom: to worries about :nono:
Now I need to figures out the magnetic :vibes: tolerance for Dad :matt: Tech :nickel: ly there are ZERO side effects or atleast no lasting negative effects as long as you no has implants ... teefths are ok (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) ... BUT I already noes that Dad gits twitchy at over 100G :drama: PLUS there are entrainment concerns :sigh: Ya don't want to entrain the :brain: to a high level iffen you want to sleep :nono: But iffen you want to PEMF while asleep or FOR sleep :zzz: you can :yes: but you need to set the :vibes: accordingly :wiggle:
Anywho for me 250G and it just sounds loud ... no twitches or nuthin. Thang is I can hear it whenever the thangs are on a main artery arms, legs torso but not at the ends like feetz and hands.
In any event my new 3D printer shows up Thursdazed or Fryday :cheer: so the siguie brand PEMF-O-Matic will prolly begins production the following week :cheer:
"The other videos are simply amazing. :yes: I needs that for my genetically dab veinage. :yes:
And for B, & Jacki & Mom & ... :yes: "
K amemberz how I keep pointing out that people really Do NOT noes how it werks :nono: 'cuz it's true :yes: There's a lot of partially understood bits but most claims are based on observed effects not mechanisms :nono: This is akin to an 8 year old thinking they noes how to make a car AND drive it having watched others :horror:
Anywho yes the videos are AMAZIN :cheer: but keep in mind for the most part PEMF :vibes: does the same thang as light :sebiv: and it's generally easier, cheaper and safer to use light :angel: K perchance not my BIGgie sized lasers :whistle:
Iffen yer genetically dab veinage was around when you was a kidling then yer out of lucks :therethere: PEMF will improve/restore slooowed microcirculatory paths and increase perfusion of the local tissue BUT it wont reroute poorly installed pipes :therethere:
A doog way to thinxz of it is that PEMF and photobiomodulation will improve immune function and "healing" or recovery ... same diff :dunno: The main contributing factors are improved circulation and ... wait for it ... mitochondrial :bump: :gstars:

Anywho the doktor should has or has access to PEMF mat rentals :yes: They is way too overpriced :faint: for my blood :suck: AND generally low powered BUT iffen you can git a doog deal for a week or so you can atleast see iffen it's for youse :yes: There are also spa treatments for these thangs generally $30 to $60 for a half hour ... the doktor may even has this as an option :yes: To speed up healing of an injury or after surgery these are doog BUT I don't noes iffen a single :boom: is enough to notice anythin for otherwise healthy peoplez :dunno:
K all that :blah: :blah: ed I'm definitely making Dad a full body mat :yes: For moi I'm prolly just gonna make a mini mat and a MEGA Twin coil :muaha: for testing porpoises :bliss:

Anywho nermally the sprain lasts 2 to 3 daze or up to a week when really bad BUT the twin rings really surprised me :huh: They literally removed the pain within 20 minutes. It comes back an hour or two later which is why I noed to tellz Dad BUT it also healed dang quick :thumbs:

A doog 18W to 30W coffee warmer tops out at 50g to 75g ... the minions and I goes through about a kilo per month or there abouts. The :secret: is thermal regulation with a max temp of 250°F :club: So yeah I use sumthin else an NOT a double boiler that's just horrible :horror:
K short answer YOUSE should use the coffee cup warmer :therethere: I on the other hand use a Duxtop Induction heater WITH a Mokapot heat diffuser AND a stainless steel flat :butt: beaker in an enclosure :angel:
Duxtop induction cooktops have better :electrocute: regulation and more "temperature" settings ... this is where that definition of temperature vs heat matters. I picked one that produces a little more than 250°F {for 500g mass} then reduced it to what I wanted with a heat diffuser. The stainless steel beaker transmits the now regulated heat UP the sides so I can melt more without burning. I then make a small aluminum hot box around eberythang to keep the heat even ... like when printing ABS on a 3d printer :wiggle:
I Do NOT recommend a mirowave :vibes: though you can does a few tricks to speed thangs up using one :yes: The problem is the individual crystals are like ants and too small to absorb much energy :sebiv: PLUS the microwave is inherently uneven so yeah not a doog choice :therethere:

"So what was the final frame in your video? The marbles & filter-like thing?"
The marbles are paired magnets. Thinxz clothes pins only you can pull them apart. The "filter" like thang is called Magnetic Viewing Film it shows the flux field of magnets ... it's this ...
MIKEDE Magnetic Viewing Film (https://amzn.to/3TfljPM) <= Amazon Link
One of the difficult concepts for people to unerstanz with PEMF is that it's not really the Gauss that matters or atleast not by itself it's the NRGeez in the flux field :vibes: measured as Weber. This viewing film changes colour depending on the gauss strength BUT also visually shows the field. I wanted to show what the twin rings could does BUT they are designed for HIGH Weber ~50G in a large bubble but it's too POWERFUL :superman: for the little viewer :sigh: So I just added it at the end 'cuz I thunked it purty :blush2: AND it's all I could use from about 20 minutes of video trying to show it :pullhair:
"Also...your homemade 2 ring thingy looks cool but is :uhoh: sighency to me. :sigh: "
Tech :nickel: ly that's doog :yes: This is one of them thangs that where noesing what you is doesing is kinda important :wiggle: I only shows you the BEMER made videos 'cuz their devices are FDA approved and as long as you don't has any metalic implants like pace makers 'n ffuts you should be in the more or less safe zone :wiggle:
Getting FDA approval AND :electrocute: safety certification costs a lot a LOT :faint: but atleast with BEMER you getted what you payz for :angel:
My twin rings are :electrocute: safe 'cuz I'm only using 12V 5A {60W max usually 0.5 to 6W} and 'cuz I :brain: ed the design so there are no over heating resistors or capaciters :electrocute: and :boom: to worries about :nono:
Now I need to figures out the magnetic :vibes: tolerance for Dad :matt: Tech :nickel: ly there are ZERO side effects or atleast no lasting negative effects as long as you no has implants ... teefths are ok (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) ... BUT I already noes that Dad gits twitchy at over 100G :drama: PLUS there are entrainment concerns :sigh: Ya don't want to entrain the :brain: to a high level iffen you want to sleep :nono: But iffen you want to PEMF while asleep or FOR sleep :zzz: you can :yes: but you need to set the :vibes: accordingly :wiggle:
Anywho for me 250G and it just sounds loud ... no twitches or nuthin. Thang is I can hear it whenever the thangs are on a main artery arms, legs torso but not at the ends like feetz and hands.
In any event my new 3D printer shows up Thursdazed or Fryday :cheer: so the siguie brand PEMF-O-Matic will prolly begins production the following week :cheer:
"The other videos are simply amazing. :yes: I needs that for my genetically dab veinage. :yes:
And for B, & Jacki & Mom & ... :yes: "
K amemberz how I keep pointing out that people really Do NOT noes how it werks :nono: 'cuz it's true :yes: There's a lot of partially understood bits but most claims are based on observed effects not mechanisms :nono: This is akin to an 8 year old thinking they noes how to make a car AND drive it having watched others :horror:
Anywho yes the videos are AMAZIN :cheer: but keep in mind for the most part PEMF :vibes: does the same thang as light :sebiv: and it's generally easier, cheaper and safer to use light :angel: K perchance not my BIGgie sized lasers :whistle:
Iffen yer genetically dab veinage was around when you was a kidling then yer out of lucks :therethere: PEMF will improve/restore slooowed microcirculatory paths and increase perfusion of the local tissue BUT it wont reroute poorly installed pipes :therethere:
A doog way to thinxz of it is that PEMF and photobiomodulation will improve immune function and "healing" or recovery ... same diff :dunno: The main contributing factors are improved circulation and ... wait for it ... mitochondrial :bump: :gstars:

First: Oh and yes of course I've used the twin rings in conjunction with my oxygen concentrator :ura:
If you accidentally blow yourself up someday can I has your monies?
:spitcoffee:
So...implants & ffutses... you noes J has a fair amount of metals in her head. Pins & screws & staples & suches.
Also, seemingly in her GI tract as well tho it was never really tolded to us. :sigh: She had partial large intestine resection, temporary ileostomy & later reversal of same when she was just a baby & then much later on x-rays there are 'loops' visible. Looks kinda like a chain.
Some sort of metal-reinforced stitching? Remembers this is ancient technology. 1986. :nana:
And it's a sad statement of fact when you sprain a thumb so often you has a graph of healing times. :woe:
K.... I boughted a coffee warmer. Supposedly it is 25w. And I only put 2T in a small mason jar with a lid.
And after 3-4 hours (I really don't know cuz I axshully went to town during the time it was on cuz it had done nothing in 2+ hours) there was a teensy teensy teensy bit of meltage in the form of sticking on the bottom of the jar. I unplugged it & made dinger. :sigh:
:popcorn:
Gonna try again today.

So I followed the instructions of a kemikill muggle...an ordinary person on the internets...
and I heated xylitol on the stove in a stainless steel pot, stirring constantly, til it was completely dissolved & "at least 250 degrees).
Then I poured it onto parchment paper on a baking sheet. Put it in the fridge. Then borked it into tiny pieces,
The entire process took less than 30 minutes. :yes:
It is now hard, but chewable. Not professionally & kemikilly hard like a true hard candy. (Amembers I worked at a Candy Shop & made a whole lotta ffutses. That's the mostest kemystery I ever encountered :chuckle: )
I'm curious as to what this will be like tomorow. :scratch:
I saw one person who said to hard boil it. :uhoh: That one skeered me.
Another Chinese dude who said cook it til opaque. :huh:
And I went with the one who basically just made a bark with xylitol. :rofl:
Oh... & there's this kemist dude out there on the internets with a whole long procedure involving a coffee warmer.
:fly:

"Oh... & there's this kemist dude out there on the internets with a whole long procedure involving a coffee warmer."
Yup! :yes: he's doog really really DOOG :thumbs:
He even wrote up a section about which :coffee: warmerz are not really 18W+ and atleast one from Amazon that would werk as advertised :oz:
Plug yers into a Kill-A-Watt or whateber household power meter you use and you'll seez :yes:
Also originally there were NO others making xylitol hard candies AND I started making them when the price dropped below $20 per pound and I wasn't gonna waste it :uhoh:
Oh and yers isn't pure xylitol no morez though technically it's prolly "hard candy" :yes: That just means no water :nono: and crackse vs chewy. Once you've borked up the molecules it may or may not has the same properties as the original ... it's a kemystery thang :therethere: I wanted the candy to be teef safe (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) which is why adding thangs like corn syrup or caramelizing it was a nonstarter :nonono:
Iffen you just want hard candies why you not use isomalt? :dunno: It's roughly 50% as sweet as sugar BUT it behaves nigh identically to sucrose. It also does not promote cavities nor :bump: blood sugar :angel: ... Isomalt at Amazon (https://amzn.to/3z2JJoF) <= Amazon link :duh:
Iffen yer goal is no sugar candy making then just save yerself time and :wall: and learn to use Isomalt. Xylitol has other properties like calcium chelation and transport that brings calcium ions deeper into the tooth for re-calcifying PLUS a few other effects like on mouth biofilms as well as gut microbiome. Isomalt does too BUT not the same :nono: However, for hard candy ... Isomalt :yes:
To just use some silicone molds I'd recommend making no sugar gummies since you all likely need gelatin :yes: Iffen you is dead set against :cow: gelatin then there's always sugar free Pectin candies which are more like hard jam bits or along the Jello line Japanese agar gellies :yes: I'm quite fond of the coconut and mango :liplick:

"So...implants & ffutses... you noes J has a fair amount of metals in her head. Pins & screws & staples & suches."

Now take my twin rings they spit out 50G each :flex: ... Bemer's generally put out 100 μT to 150 μT which in Gauss is 1G to 1.5G. Does this make mine 50 timez betterer :yesss: ... I mean tech :nickel: ly ... maybe ... it really depends on what you are trying to does and how fast :dunno:
For most ffuts 0.5 to 1G is all anyone needs for minor pains and a general circulation :bump: as well as overall immune function improvements :thumbs: In fact some :brain: improving effects as well as sleep :zzz: only need 0.1G :oz: ... this is where frequency :vibes: come into play ... another show :wave: :run:

Anywho for most peoplez that ease of use thang is prolly why pemf mats and beds are more popular 'cuz you can literally just sit down and use them without hasing to does much. This brings another angle to look at what size of mat and what to look for in particular there's the Bemer Bed and the OMI bed-like thang mat which is like only 20% the price. Well the Bemer has 16 2G coils in their bed/mat while the OMI has only 8. The question now isn't which is better but rather which is best for you ... the 16 coils make a more evener bubble of :vibes: flux but perchance 8 is enough :dunno: This all has to does with magnetic shunting and vector addition/subtraction aka constructive/destructive :vibes: :sebiv: and is another show or not :wave:

So the fact that I heated the xylitol to 250 F makes it no longer beneficial? :scratch:
And no, I wasn't just looking for sugar free candy. :nonono: I was aiming for teef benefits. :yes:
That's the only reason I buys xylitol. :yes: Elsewise we use pure maple syrup or sometimes I use dark brown sugar for muffins.
That's per Dr. E. :p
And I really wasn't thinking about PEMF for Jacki. I am simply always using an abundance of caution with her cuz I've seen so very many bad reactions to things with her. Bandaids (it's the adhesive, not the latex :sigh: ), latex, ketamine, morphine, demerol, ritalin, fatty foods... I noes I'm forgetting some.
And yes, the Bemer. :yes: That's why I said before that the PEMF ffutses kind flew right by me cuz you had said pretty much that only you were able to make your own :chuckle: & the good ffuts was super spensive. :yes: :crazyeyes:
I still don't understand how it would help Mom. :dunno: I mean, her main problem is that the discs are so squishy, leaving the nerves exposed & activated. So unless a Bemer can repair her discs & put her spine back together... :crazyeyes:
Her back is getting so bad that she doesn't really want to live any more. :sigh: I do not mean she's suicidal :nonono: Far from it.
But when future things come up she always says, "I really hope I'm not around to see that.". When I talk to her about core strengthening & tells her she could live another 20 years...10 easily (she'd be her father's age at death) she says, "Oh Lord I sure hope not.". :sigh: She's just tired. Tired of it all.
So we gonna get her ablated. Cuz she knows that will help tremendously....for awhile. :sigh: But then we will does it again. And again.
Today she said she'd drive herself. And I figure she's capable. But J & I decided she doesn't have to. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
It's 60 miles. Prolly about her maximum attention distance.
:pie: Just becuz. To keep you humble, Mr Smatey Liver Man :superman:

No two fiddy is the upper safe limit BUT the reason those add water and heat recipes "werk" is because they cause kemikillization of the carbon based carb :horror: The procedures are second tier thought abstraction referred to as thinxzing by analogy :wiggle: In essence the thunked process was sumthin like since sucrose hard candies can be made by heating sugar in water until it reaches a certain temp why not just does the same thang with xylitol which is very similar to glucose and fructose the two saccharides of sucrose. After all the hard candy making process involves cleaving sed disaccharide :oz:
That's thinking by analogy :yes: but as a kemyst I noes the first principles and iffen the thang you git is NOT the same as you put in after the water has been removed ... basically some reconstituted crystal structure you kemysteried and it's not what you thunk it is :therethere:
"And no, I wasn't just looking for sugar free candy. :nonono: I was aiming for teef benefits. :yes:
That's the only reason I buys xylitol. :yes: "
K :scratch: you does noes yer on a nigh vegan diet right? :dunno: Unless yer pounding Calcium supplements the available Calcium in yer saliva is :egg: tremely low. It's why B's teef didn't has muches tarter build up AND why he needed the speeshul toothpaste to strengthen them :flex: AND you don't even repaint the enamel with fluoride :whistle:
Purty muches the only thang yer xylitol can does is not be sucrose :therethere:
"That's the only reason I buys xylitol. :yes: Elsewise we use pure maple syrup or sometimes I use dark brown sugar for muffins."
:roll: yeah about that ... does you noes why Dr.E sez dat :whistle: Anywho you'd prolly does better there with an allulose monk fruit combo ... just sayin :yes:
"And I really wasn't thinking about PEMF for Jacki. I am simply always using an abundance of caution with her cuz I've seen so very many bad reactions to things with her. Bandaids (it's the adhesive, not the latex :sigh: ), latex, ketamine, morphine, demerol, ritalin, fatty foods... I noes I'm forgetting some. "
Yeah well here's the :secret: Gauss aint Weber :nono: and no you wont unerstanz that :therethere: and that's the point :yes: An over abundance of caution is doog ... so I'm told :whistle: ... but like afores yer analogizining :yes: You don't really has any unerstanzing of magnetism :vibes: other than from common ferromagnetical :egg: sperience and so agin analogizing yer fears of what might be :horror:
The point ... you should prolly talk to someone you trust about PEMF iffen you eber want J to use the thang ... and no not me :slap: ... you should neber trust what some 8 year old kid tellz on the interweb :buttkick: That sed it was a :hysterical: thought that J might walk by yer fridge and SUDDENLY be attacked by fridge magnets :chuckle:
FYI: Fridge magnets have Gauss ratings fiddy to a hunert timez greater than my twin rings ... did I mention Weber :wiggle:
"And yes, the Bemer. :yes: That's why I said before that the PEMF ffutses kind flew right by me cuz you had said pretty much that only you were able to make your own :chuckle: & the good ffuts was super spensive. :yes: :crazyeyes: "
I most certainly neber sed that :gaah: ... way to goes memo ghurl :hi5:
Thinxz of this like the xylitol candies ... it's a lot easier once you understanz ffuts :therethere:
"I still don't understand how it would help Mom. :dunno: I mean, her main problem is that the discs are so squishy, leaving the nerves exposed & activated. So unless a Bemer can repair her discs & put her spine back together... :crazyeyes: "
Nice :hi5: yer reading skillz are worser than mine :righton:
I doubt iffen a Bemer could does that BUT siguie brand twin rings ... perchance :yes: .. also the Bemer is just a sit there and not notice anythin therapy that she might does. The fact that I keeps mentioning that you looks into it is 'cuz it helps with chronic pain AND does promote collagen growth { :secret: cartilage} as well as bone growth, reverses osteoarthritis and helps elderly avoid muskle loss ... any of this sound familiar :whistle:
Just ask the doktor :buttkick:
Anywho the point is there are a lot of benefits :yes: ... you should LEARN about it :angel:
That sed NOW I'm trying to figurez out iffen the benefits are from whole body PEMFing really just from certain organs being pemfed :hmm2:
For instance PEMF of the liver improves Thyroid, Thymus and Pancreas ... PEMFing eberywhere seems like a shotgun approach to not miss any targets :hmm2: Also with Ferroptosis oxidative stress from PEMF should be a thang in those with low C15 levelz and weak red blood cell walls :suck:
So is it better to uber PEMF :vibes: one location :boom: or lightly season the whole body with :sebiv: My guess is that Bemer type systems are the more gentle heal in :harmony: :vibes: kinda thang and the specific benefits stated are a more ffuts that happens to be fixed and noticed along the way.
Anywho the reason for figuring this out is to unerstanz how the whole shebang werks :wiggle: I don't git it BUT I likes mysteries 'cuz I is a kemyst :rimshot:
That and I already werked out the uppity upper :vibes: limit for the current :electrocute: modules available without goesing into The Danger Zone :headbang: So now what is the cheapest generally doog for youse Bemer level system? :hmm2:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist: 95.8 °F :no: :horror:

pemfed :hysterical:
And this: No two fiddy is the upper safe limit BUT the reason those add water and heat recipes "werk"
I did not add water. :nonono: Just xylitol. In my one & only heavy stainless steel saucepan. Low heat. Stirring continuously.
It took less than 5 minutes. And I candy thermometered it.
And it is a bit harder than a party mint. What we usta call shower mints cuz you only saw them at bridal or baby showers. :rofl:
Not crumbly at all tho it easily borked into widdle pieces.
So Dr Ellie (I've watched a few of her videos in recent weeks) says that the xylitol stimulates saliva & neutralizes acids and that your saliva contains more minerals than the expensive mineralized toothpaste. Is she wrong? OR simply oversimplifying like Dr E does?
We've been using the apagard for months but recently switched back to the Dr Ellie protocol cuz well....I wanted a change. :chuckle: The Apagard did not seem to feel like it was worth the monies (it kept going up) tho admittedly all the Ellie ffutses costs more than the toofpaste. :chuckle:
Friday! :gstars: Grocery Day! :bliss2:
And lest I hadn't mentioned it the reason Friday has been grocery day is cuz I gets 2x fuel points on Friday, Saturday & Sunday and I ain't shopping on the weekend. :frantic: Paris is vacay central what with campers, boaters & cottagers.
Last time :b: filled the truck & gas cans he gotted it at $1.99 a gallon! :bliss2: Our gas for reals is down to around $2.60ish.
And it's so dry we don't need to mow so now all that cheap gas cannot be used. :chuckle:
Kale Day!!! :gstars:

So what did you print out first? :popcorn:
And YOU are the one who first introduced us to Dr Ellie. We followed her protocol for several years & then somehow stopped.
When I saw her on youtube (I couldn't watch much video til literally early this calendar year. :p ) I thunk it a doog idea to adopt the practice again. :wiggle:
So the Closys is really important? :scratch: It just seem so much like water. :chuckle: Even J asked if she could swallow it...she says, "It's just water, Mom.". :rofl:
So... :book: time
:zanna: style :book: :sigh:
Yesterday afternoon B & I went to donate blood. :suck: I was so proud of myself cuz my Hg was 13.1 & she easily found the vein AND oddly enough, the blood exited my body quite quickly. :yes: Usually I am a slow drain & hafta keep squeezing the squeezy and repositioning my arm. I felt fine.
But back up... the entire day yesterday had been :sparkle: magical :sparkle: LOTS of synchronistic encounters, friendly people, high vibes all around. :hippy: Even at the blood bus, the high vibes continued. :sparkle:
When we gotted home we changed clothes & went out to sit on the veranda for awhile before beginning dinger.
And hour or so later I got up to help J with something & came back & said I felt "lightheaded". A bit of a loop-de-loo like I hadn't felt in several years. :crazyeyes: 5 or so minutes later I gotted up again & this time it hit me harder. :huh: I literally grabbed onto a wall to stay up.
Got back to my chair & then...
the rest of the story was relayed to me by :b: cuz I DO NOT REMEMBER ANY OF IT. :faint: Next thing I remembers I was saying, "I'm alright... I'm fine... just hot." and :b: says "You are most definitely NOT ok...you are on the floor of the veranda". :huh:
I looked around & sure enough he was right.
Seemingly I had leaned back...then forward...then my eyes began rolling back in my head & I said I needed to go inside.
At that time B got up to help me but I was already on my feet til... BOOM, I was not. :( He says my legs literally crumpled & then I hit the glass table with my left side, just below the ribs, & then onto the floor...bringing him down on top of me.
But then... I was OUT. ;bye: ( :secret: I went :sparkle: home :sparkle: I don't recall details but just the peaceful feeling when I came to). B said he was yelling, lightly slapping my face :chuckle: , and no response. And no, we don't has kemikill ffutses like smelling salts. :sigh:
Today, I am pretty banged up. :sigh: At & below the lower ribs on the left side. I've not turned really pretty colors yet but boy oh boy is it sore. Feels like I has a golf ball under my skin right where I hit. :chuckle: I don't think anything borked cuz well... I'ze tough as nails.
So that's my story. :book:
I don't ever wanna does that again.
:gheart:
And yeah... your twin rings would fix me right up. :yes: :sigh:

Honestly Sig, you're gonna go :boom: one of these days...I been afeared for that. :uhoh:
:michafire: Same kind of weather in this here neck of the woods. :thumbs:
So I gots a full house now. My son and his wife are back here living with us. The whole dang fambly back. Good thing I held on to this big, old farmhouse. :laugh:
Celebrated my 67th, and feeling good. :thumbs:
Bugles is not yet 2, but he's a big kid. As of his 18 mo. :check: he was 3ft tall and 34 lbs.

I still think they're missing something, but :dunno:
Politics :gaah: Ya gots two wings and a tail. One wing is blue, the other is red. The tail...well that was RFK Jr. But it's all the same bird. :sigh: Anywho, to be fair that Red wing has been pretty consistent about SSI. Not so much on medicare though. Harris wants to be bolder with medicare overhaul. It's a mixed bag to say the least. Interesting article to balance the battle over this issue: https://www.kiplinger.com/politics/trump-on-social-security-and-medicare Me? Well, I despise the Red wing for all sorts of reasons, and mostly I'd like to see a grown up in the seat driving.

Pandora! :excited: Happy to sees you. :hugs:
And :ladybug: I understand. :sigh: From the age of 22 to 35 I dealt with what would have been fibromyalgia iffin they'd had that named thingy back then. They called it an undifferentiated connective tissue disorder. :crazyeyes:
LOTS of B12, vitamin C (like 10,000 mg a day), LOTS of water were the primary things that brought me out of it & got me off the prednisone, plaquenil & methotrexate. But now, diet has the biggest impact, along with meditation and learning how to not be affected by so man 'outside' influences (peoples, in particular :chuckle: ).
And I'm certain it was the blood letting. :yes: It was just an hour or so afterwards.
My mom passed out at a restaurant after donating (about 2 hours afterwards) & a red-headed cousin said he passed out when he got up in the middle of the night after he had donated. He is A TBI agent & a real up & up kinda guy so I'm certain he told the straight truth. Seems to be a familial thing.
I've never been a 'good' donater. :nonono: The last few times I've been black & blue from halfway to my wrist & up my arm afterwards & B kept saying, "You're done. No more.". I've been turned away after they couldn't find a vein & many times turned away cuz I didn't have enough blood.
B & J both begged me not to go & I didn't listen. :sigh: He was finished first & sat on the bus like a mother hen watching to make sure I was ok. :wub:
Stubborn, I am. :yes: But I don't repeat hard lessons! Oh & I neglected to mention that I usta pass out a lot when I was young. :faint: Down a flight of steps once. Once the paramedics came cuz I was flat out & they pronounced me dead tho I was conscious & laughing. My BP was so low they said I was dead. :huh:
I am happy to hear you got the band back together again! :violet:
And glad you gots that big ol farmhouse to shelter them all. :grouphug:
As for politics... :stars: I feel Trump is dangerous, period.
And I am hopeful that a blue wave is gonna usher in a new era in the country & on the whole planet. :earthhugs:
The young peoples are gonna lead us into a radical new age & I am excited to be able to watch the show. :popcorn:

Oh she's gotted iron now 'cuz of being postmeanypawzul and the shrubbery based nitric oxide :bump: has opened up her pipping :flex: so she's easier to stick BUT she's a low flow faucet so when she was relaxed and :heart: rate came back to nermal it realized it was a quart low and :boom: :faint: :therethere:
Thang is they tellz you to drink more water afterwards BUT you really need more salt along with the water ... espeeshully iffen youse are low pressure nermally :yes:
" :ladybug: has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I still think they're missing something, but :dunno: "
"... LOTS of B12, vitamin C (like 10,000 mg a day) ..."
:yes: Though to be fair ALL the B vitamins are important espeeshully B1 and B3 though B3 is particularly important on account of Glaucoma :whistle: And of course vitamin D :oz:
Vitamin D is involved in insulin secretion so low D can cause hyperglycemia, thiamine in turn is involved in the conversion of glucose to NRGeez :electrocute: which means carbovore diets need MORE B1 and um yeah so perchance ask Mr.Google about thiamine and fibromyalgia :whistle:

Q: So is the CloSys important?
A: Yes :yes: No :nono: ... maybe :dunno: it depends on what you are trying to does :angel:
I found Dr. Ellie's protocol 'cuz I came up with the same product mix and googled them to see iffen anyone else was doesing what I was and :boom: it was her :yes:
That sed I Do NOT use CloSys :nono: but I unerstanz the reason why I might want too :yes: AND why youse might NOT want toose :nono: I also noes about ozone and Chlorhexidine Gluconate AND Colloidal Silver :cs: PLUS copper including a copper tongue scraper AND copper (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probe including the benefits of :electrocute: in both :moon:
Anywho Dr.Ellie is fine :yes: but I haven't followed anythin about her in years :ashamed: and like ALWAYS I kinda does my own thang and it's always cha cha changing depending on my inerests :wiggle:

"Well GEEZE :asiel: That's a heck of a note to wander back into! :eek: It's delayed to blame on the blood giving, isn't it? What was that from? :huh: "
Oh she's gotted iron now 'cuz of being postmeanypawzul and the shrubbery based nitric oxide :bump: has opened up her pipping :flex: so she's easier to stick BUT she's a low flow faucet so when she was relaxed and :heart: rate came back to nermal it realized it was a quart low and :boom: :faint: :therethere:

" :ladybug: has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I still think they're missing something, but :dunno: "
"... LOTS of B12, vitamin C (like 10,000 mg a day) ..."
:yes: Though to be fair ALL the B vitamins are important espeeshully B1 and B3 though B3 is particularly important on account of Glaucoma :whistle: And of course vitamin D :oz:
Vitamin D is involved in insulin secretion so low D can cause hyperglycemia, thiamine in turn is involved in the conversion of glucose to NRGeez :electrocute: which means carbovore diets need MORE B1 and um yeah so perchance ask Mr.Google about thiamine and fibromyalgia :whistle:

"So the Closys is really important? :scratch: It just seem so much like water. :chuckle: Even J asked if she could swallow it...she says, "It's just water, Mom.". :rofl: "
Um ok but that was like over a decade agoes :dunno: It's like when you sed you was taking the same K2 that "I recommended" :scratch: I rarely "recommend" anythin :nono: I just sez I has this and am using it now or whatever :dunno:
Q: So is the CloSys important?
A: Yes :yes: No :nono: ... maybe :dunno: it depends on what you are trying to does :angel:
I found Dr. Ellie's protocol 'cuz I came up with the same product mix and googled them to see iffen anyone else was doesing what I was and :boom: it was her :yes:
That sed I Do NOT use CloSys :nono: but I unerstanz the reason why I might want too :yes: AND why youse might NOT want toose :nono: I also noes about ozone and Chlorhexidine Gluconate AND Colloidal Silver :cs: PLUS copper including a copper tongue scraper AND copper (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probe including the benefits of :electrocute: in both :moon:

So...
:horn: FRANCINE!!! :frantic: :umbrella:
A pop up invest in the Gulf that turned TS and likely turning hurrycane. Zanna island was getting wind whipped & wetted yesterday. :wub: And she's likely going in somewhere along the Louisiana coast & then coming to West Tanasi. :yes:
We gots a tropical advisory for Thursday/Friday with flooding rains & the likes.
Sadly, it's time we been thinking bout & moving towards bringing in our tropicals & select overwinterers. :sigh:
And Thor & kin only have 3 or so weeks before they hafta pack up & head south for the winter. :bye: They have thoroughly enjoyed the veranda this yeas as we've hung feeders on the front header. They can even eat in the rain there...without getting wet. :wub: And they zoom in & turn around, often coming within inches of our heads & always making me laugh. :rofl:
We've already had nights in the upper 40s :shiver: And then days up near 90. :rofl:

And then...
Mom tested positive for covid. :sigh:
I think she's had it for about 10 days. She woke up with chills one night & then was just feeling tired.
I suspected covid right away but she said :no:
She did do a home test but it was quite old. Anyway, she'd been short of breath. And it's been getting worse where as just showering left her breathless.
We were actually concerned about CHF or artery blockages so the covid diagnosis was oddly, a relief.
No fever. Minimal coughing. Just shortness of breath & fatigue.
But she was advised to postpone the ablation for at least 3 weeks tho. :sigh:
Oh & cuz :sig: types will ask... she prescribed paxlovid tho it may be too late, and ordered a chest x-ray of which we have yet to see results. Elsewise...rest & fluids.

Well on Fryday I'll be going with Dad to git the seasonal flu (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) ... I was considering a covid :bump: as well BUT it seems a little silly :dunno: There is less than 1% in 100k testing positive for covid here and no noed stand alone covid hopsikilizations. Some peoplez are in the ICU for ffuts that isn't covid but happen to test positive for it and that's it :roll:
I :check: ed tanassi and they still don't show :carp: :woe:
Tech :nickel: ly the CDC is pushing for covid boosters :bump: but the newest strains are sooooo infectious that purty muches eberyone gits it all the time now and just don't notice :nono: So :buttkick: the covid idea :bliss:

In other newses minions really don't unerstanz cell membrane physiology :wall: Somehow a conversation gotted turned into pentadecanoic acid and I mentioned the fragility syndrome and pointed out that in regards to red blood cells :suck: it's similar to Omega 3's. FYI red blood cells need 4% or larger while C15 is 2% or more. Anywho in a standard CBC there's a thang called RDW {red blood cell distribution width } and it's a marker of the relative size of blood cells. Basically you want the distribution to be samall {all the same size} BUT you also need the cells to be healthy AND the correct size. Iffen the cells are the same size the RDW might be small BUT the cells are not healthy :nono: same iffen they is too big.
Anywho loooong :book: short they is cluelos :huh: :gaah: Doog thang they aren't hired for their :brain: power :vibes: and are readily replaceable :muaha:
Oh and the important bit ~75% of people git enough {based on RDA} omega 3's in their diet BUT very few have red blood cells with 4%+ which I was trying to asplain is the problem but no one getted it :gaah: :wall:
Oh and the reason I broughted this up here the RDA dietary omega 3s includes ALA which is the plant based one but most people have a low conversion rate and you kinda need estrogen to :bump: that number :yes: for some reason men don't has enough :scratch: weird :dunno:
This was just my latest tirade ... C15 is important but so is omega 3 :yes: and the red blood cell size plays a role in oxygen/nutrient transport system and PEMF for the circulation :bump: to bring the whole thang around to making sensicalz :wave: :run:

K so where was we ...
I'm still curious as to how PEMF improves microcirculation and the current :electrocute: belief :rimshot: Anywho the thunk is that PEMF therapy enhances the binding of free calcium Ca2+ to calmodulin and this in turn modulated :bump: tissue repair and pain mechanisms. The thang is this was NASA's original theory and I noes it does NOT asplain all of the PEMF phenomena so it's most likely just a piece of the puzzle.
That sed an ineresting bit of info is that PEMF does :bump: nitric oxide levelz in the blood :suck: There are a few PEMF bp studies and in particular one that did a double blind placebo controlled study with patients with metabolic syndrome the inerstin bit was that some had controlled bp issues while the others did not :nono:
The impact of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on blood pressure and circulating nitric oxide levels: a double blind, randomized study in subjects with metabolic syndrome (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08037051.2019.1649591#abstract)
"Conclusion: PEMF may increase plasma NO availability and improve BP at rest and during exercise. However, this beneficial effect appears to be more pronounced in subjects with existing hypertension."
This was a 2019 research paper and all of the authors were Mayo Clinic researchers. The inerestin thang is that the PEMFing was done 3 times per day 16min on the hands once in the morning and then in the afternoon then 16 min on the feet in the evening {48min total} each day for 12 weeks. The PEMF Unit they used was a low power 2G small system from China :unthumbs: but it looks like they measured the output themselves so :thumbs:
The bit of particular inerest is that the pronounced BP drop is bestest ... "in subjects with existing hypertension" which suggests more than just NO :bump: :angel:

How long before you buy the Bemer? If nothing else just so you an take it apart & copy or improve it? :pie:
We got Francined! :umbrella: It's delicious. :wubsigh: Cuz we were almost West Coast dry. :yes:
Only 3-4" so far but a lovely Niagara Falls misting right now. :bliss:

So Sig... I wants an air purifier (or 2). I've looked quickly, but do you have any specs that I oughta definitely look for...or stay away from? :wiggle: It's our bedroom, mostly, that is the dustiest. And that's becuz of the critters, I noes. :sigh:
Anyway, becuz of my fall I hadn't vacuumed in nearly 2 weeks & it was :uhoh: I thought then that I needs something to help me. :yes: I can't vacuum every day! :no:
Friday! :elfparty: Rain! :bliss: PEMF :cheer: Kale night & vaxes. :bsl:

Srsly after ALL these years {more than 2 } ... NOW you figure it out :gaah: ... all the capsicums and oxygen ffuts not to mention carbon dioxide soaks and all the HBOT and photobiomodulation ffuts :vibes: :sigh:
Yes :yes: the key is circulation :yes: in particular for mooving and remooving Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide respectively and this is to enhance the all important :hail: Mirochondria.
"How long before you buy the Bemer? If nothing else just so you an take it apart & copy or improve it? :pie: "
I woulda bought it ages agoes only when you unerstanz how the system werks even the cheapest :vibes: thang ~$300 requires a $4,500 upfront investment for the stoopid operating system and power box :electrocute: :faint: I thunked about getting one of their older stoopid 6 coil mats to see what it was like but that's $800 AND still needs the driver ... though I should be able to rig my own in BUT $800 for stoopid copper coils not gonna happen :nonono:
The thang to unerstans it's just a bunch of low power 2G coils and a frequency pulser :vibes: aka PWM {Pulse Width Modulator} I already improved it :yes: Iffen I wanted to I could just make 3 of my twin rings and for less than $200 I'd has a fully functioning mat that's 25 times stronger :flex:
Anywho, I'm planning on 15 to 20 coils and I already has the 30V 20A H-bar module 'cuz my little ZK-PP2K's top out at 8A and can really only handle 6A indefinitely.
In any event I recommend watching this youtube ... PEMF company do this wrong a lot. (https://youtu.be/IhU8bt6HzhY?si=UIt2utxykVw175Pr) :yes: It's about coil building. The guys name is Steeve Bradet and he's a slooow speaking not always clear Canadian who comes across as not the quickest PEMF enthusiast BUT he's actually very knoledgable and makes what I consider some of the best PEMF systems :yes:
I originally purchased my 3 PP2K's then went about designing the system, I noed just enough that I wanted to minimize the use of resistors and capacitors by designing the coils to fit the PWM and power supply which I wanted to be 12V 5A for the test run. Basically 60W is hard to screw up too badly :yes: at 100W I can does badly :sigh:
Anywho coil design is an art form as well as math intensive and it's been awhile since fyzix so I searched and found him :yes: He's actually very very doog :thumbs: and he can show you how to make a small PEMF device from :scratch: AND he has the toolz and noed hows to make bigger doog ffuts. He also makes something he refers to as Nextion which is a fancy schmancy modle wich can be programmed 'n such BUT that's the easy :peas: y part for me so I just wanted the coil knowledge :om:
That said I found his coil design calculator useful enough that I joined his Patreon :yes: He actually gives it away for free BUT I likes funding people like him :angel:
The point ... iffen you want a doog well made system that is far better than Bemer ... contact him :yes: He doesn't sell thangs outright and is more about teaching others to make their own BUT I'm sure he'd make one for youses iffen you asked. Just unerstanz copper isn't cheap and these mats with all the coils are heavy so shipping from Kanukia isn't gonna be cheap neether :nono: BUT it sure as heck wont be $5000 :faint:

The thang to unerstans it's just a bunch of low power 2G coils and a frequency pulser :vibes: aka PWM {Pulse Width Modulator} I already improved it :yes: Iffen I wanted to I could just make 3 of my twin rings and for less than $200 I'd has a fully functioning mat that's 25 times stronger :flex:
Anywho, I'm planning on 15 to 20 coils and I already has the 30V 20A H-bar module 'cuz my little ZK-PP2K's top out at 8A and can really only handle 6A indefinitely.
In any event I recommend watching this youtube ... PEMF company do this wrong a lot. (https://youtu.be/IhU8bt6HzhY?si=UIt2utxykVw175Pr) :yes: It's about coil building. The guys name is Steeve Bradet and he's a slooow speaking not always clear Canadian who comes across as not the quickest PEMF enthusiast BUT he's actually very knoledgable and makes what I consider some of the best PEMF systems :yes:
I originally purchased my 3 PP2K's then went about designing the system, I noed just enough that I wanted to minimize the use of resistors and capacitors by designing the coils to fit the PWM and power supply which I wanted to be 12V 5A for the test run. Basically 60W is hard to screw up too badly :yes: at 100W I can does badly :sigh:
Anywho coil design is an art form as well as math intensive and it's been awhile since fyzix so I searched and found him :yes: He's actually very very doog :thumbs: and he can show you how to make a small PEMF device from :scratch: AND he has the toolz and noed hows to make bigger doog ffuts. He also makes something he refers to as Nextion which is a fancy schmancy modle wich can be programmed 'n such BUT that's the easy :peas: y part for me so I just wanted the coil knowledge :om:
That said I found his coil design calculator useful enough that I joined his Patreon :yes: He actually gives it away for free BUT I likes funding people like him :angel:
The point ... iffen you want a doog well made system that is far better than Bemer ... contact him :yes: He doesn't sell thangs outright and is more about teaching others to make their own BUT I'm sure he'd make one for youses iffen you asked. Just unerstanz copper isn't cheap and these mats with all the coils are heavy so shipping from Kanukia isn't gonna be cheap neether :nono: BUT it sure as heck wont be $5000 :faint:

Solly :ashamed:
It's been :slowday: most timez so I write what's happening or what I'm researching when it's pertinent-ish :oz:
For the most part I'm making ffuts to :bump: Dad's health :yes: without him hasing to does anythin 'cuz he wouldn't :sigh:
I've already replaced his sugar with Allulose/monk fruit and keto-fied his oatmeal so now without realizing it he's borderline keto :yes: The only problem is he Trikes to buy :pie: at least twice a week and since he's losteded some weight now eats more :eip: :woe: BUT the triking keeps him borderline keto aka what I consider metadiabolically switching it up (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/36_1_18.gif)
So now I'm playing with Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy and by play I've been making them and installing them in his lounger with motion sensing switches and timerz :muaha:
Yeah so PEMF increases bone strength, :bump: s immune system and all around improves microcirculation as well as for seniors helps improve and maintain muskle strength :flex:
That's purty muches the synopsis of the last few months :yes: oh the durtyone has durted some ffuts too I thinxz ... it's not like I can read :dunno:
Oh and I gotted a new 3d printer :cheer: but mostly to make thangs for PEMFing :wiggle:
Yesterday Dad and I wented to the hopsickle for flu (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) ... followed by :pie: shopping :roll: and then the dreaded Kale Night :horror: I had more time so I made tonkatsu for me and cod (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) 'n :fries: for Dad ... no not keto but there was kale and cucumber :tomato: salad and :pie: :oz:

K....circulatory related :book:
Yesterday morning when I called Mom I knew immediately something was 'off'. She was diagnosed with covid last Tuesday, amembers? She admitted that she was much worse. Short of breath, sudden sweats, very weak. :sigh:
I says, "I really think we need to get you to the ER."
So I called Zen Aunt who lives 1/2 mile from Mom & she went over while the 3 of us here got ready to go.
I chose the teensy Huntingdon hopsickle instead of Paris cuz well... my gut said go there.
Long story shortened cuz texts with all the family & I gots to get ready to go...
Mom had multiple...they said many, many, MANY small blood clots in the bottom of both lungs putting extreme pressure on her coronary arteries & her :heart: was in danger. :faint:
She went by ambulance & they had an Interventional Radiology team waiting for her & began their work the second she got to Jackson. We were less than 30 minutes behind her & when we arrived they already had her in treatment. They sent a catheter up her groin & used a vacuum suction thingy to suck out the clots. Mom was awake & said they filled 4 or 5 large gauze pads with clotty blood & she said the doctor & scrub nurse were both blood covered like a Halloween scene.
They said they relieved the pressure on the :heart: but could not get them all. She's been on a heparin drip since Huntingdon when they first found the clots.
She is doing extremely well! :cheer: Her BP was so good they removed the auto-cuff. But she had to stay on her back throughout the rest of today and she still had what they call a "device" in or on her groin. Once that is removed she can move once again.
Zen Aunt stayed the night & is staying the duration. J & I are going soon.
But she could be discharged in just a day or 2.
She will be on anticoagulants the rest of her life...and on watch for recurrence forever.
And the provider she saw last week was gonna do a stress test. :uhoh:
Very impressed with the care she received at the teensy hopsickle & especially at Jackson. :yes:
:gheart:
Happy Birthday, Mom! :birthday: She's 81 today.

"She will be on anticoagulants the rest of her life...and on watch for recurrence forever."
I'm not sure why this is a thang? :scratch: Perchance on account of tanassi doesn't beleebz in the covid :nono:
Fer realz though :yes: this is a noed thang and often referred to as "White Clots" and the anti-vaXerz try to blame the vaccine for it BUT it's a covid bodily response that happens :yes:

First it is very very doog that you gotted durtmomma to the hopsickle quickly :beerme: This is sumthin that is not nermal and was originally identified by embalmers :horror: as a what is this? and why so many peoplez with it? :scratch:
Second the vaccine 'can' promote this ... or atleast I would :egg: spect it to be able to BUT it's far far more likely from covid and it appears more likely with the immune compromised :sigh:
It sounds like yer doktorz did a doog boj pulling them white snakes out AND durtmomma should be on thinners until she is post-covid BUT after that it looks like thinnerz are not needed :dunno:
Ask the doktorz iffen they noticed the stringy bits were unusually pale? They need to be washed to be seen as white but hopefully they :check: ed a sample :yes: Elsewise they'll just assume durtmomma gotted olde and needs blood thinners :suck: 'cuz she is now more prone to random clotting :roll: FYI: :check: her Coagulation factor test numbers also look at the skin on her arms/legs/hands ... are they crepe and is she easily bruised? :share:
Iffen yer inerested I can ramble on for a few daze :blah: :blah: :blah: 'cuz it's really quite fascinating :yes: there are also a lot of groups using this as proof of vacine improprieties and government collusion while a lot of the vaccine companies are saying nope not from us :nono:
The truth is likely more in the middle :yes: this white clotting is prolly an improper immune response to long term covid :egg: sposure ... it's also one of the reasons I wouldn't recommend boosters without a skeery new variant :angel:

K so that video was really disturbing. :uhoh:
I had axshully seen a different video about white clots a couple weeks ago. :yes:
Mom saw the whole thing on a screen cuz the first thing she was talking about was just how many there were.
And I found it odd that the scrub nurse who brought her up said they didn't get them all... she said, "We could never get them all". :huh: And then she :run:
I asked half dozen or more peoples if this was from covid & nobody answered me directly. :sigh: A couple of them said :dunno: maybe.
Oh! Mom's home! :cheer: She was so tired cuz of being flat on her back for 20+ hours & no sleep due to constant monitoring.
They did a great boj of getting her into treatment right away BUT there was no communication afterwards. We never saw a doctor other than the hospitalist who answered NO questions. :huh: NOTHING about what they did, how this happened, what to does now... :sigh: She was prescribed a double dose of xarelto for 3 weeks then a low dose thereafter. :huh: So much the pharmacy said medicare would not cover so the hopsickle had a coupon for a free 30 day supply & I hafta go to Jackson today to pick it up.
That's concerning too but when I asked the nurse she said you'll hafta talk to your regular provider abouts that. Mom's regular provider knows NOTHING about any of it. Cuz after her irregular EKG last week she was sending her for a stress test. :sigh:
So where do we go for help? :scratch:
For reals, there are so few doctors left around here & they don't accept new patients anyway. I'll take her to Nashville or Memphis but what type of doctor does you recommend? The nurse said cardiologist but I know B's cardiologist wouldn't know any more than I do. Unless it's sFib or CAD, he's cluelos.
I want someone to look at her meds & hopefully nix half of them. :yes: She's been added to and added to by all these mid-level providers who looove to prescribe medications. When dad died in 2013 Mom only took thyroid medicine (hypo...for many years).
Now she has close to a dozen pills each day. :gaah: Zen Aunt & I tell her all the time to "just say no" but she, like most patients, is afraid to not comply. :wall:
But....what do we ALL do to mitigate of prevent or elsewise manage the seemingly inevitable development of these alien creatures? (remind me of heartworms :yes: prolly a genetic derivative)
And what can I do for Mom now to prevent what's left in her from multiplying or growing orcoagulating or whatever they do?
Oddly, they'd had trouble drawing blood the entire time. The last :suck: er who tried pulled out the needle & said, "That's odd. The needle came out bent.". :horror: I said "What?" And she says, "Oh, it's just a plastic needle.". :huh:
And the scrub nurse told me (when I complimented her on their fast action) that they do 3-5 of these a week! :scared:
Amembers, this is in a relatively low population area. Jackson hospital prolly serves less than 250,000 peoples. (99,000 in Madison county where Jackson is & 30-40K in each of the surrounding counties)
And now I'ze wondering if this is what killed Jodi. :windy: :wub: She's been around me a lot lately. :yes: Dad, too. :yes:
We'll never know for certain. I just know the last time I talked to her she could not breathe. :sigh: :angel:
:gheart:
Gotta :run: again.

Oh & :yes: to crepey ckin & bruising.
Also... I been wondering if that ddo 'rash' on her chest she's had for so long was a clue. It was called hives, but it was never welted.
it was called allergy, but it was only on the upper part of the chest. It was called ringworm, but it did not respond to treatment.
Only the prednisone knocked it back but it would return every time after a weeek or so off the prednisone.

:woe:
K but glad durtmomma is getting out og there :run: :cheer:
Xarelto is about the same as Warfarin in effectiveness BUT is easier to figure out the dose so Xarelto to git momma home makes sensicalz BUT longterm is just lazy and trying to make money with the new candyman :whip: Warfarin aka Coumadin is the nermal long term treatment AND most likely completely covered by medicare ya just don't want to double down it :horror: FYI: Apixaban also noed as Eliquis is the "safest" blood thinner that I'm awarez of AND may be an option :dunno:
Oh and amemberz years agoes when my mom borked her leg and the pharmacy gave her $2000 of Heparin :faint: ... yeah heparin is also an option BUT it's an injectable so prolly not sumthin for durtmomma :therethere:
Ok the tanassi doktorz did their boj at the train station and gotted her onto the medikal train to nowherez :horror: Now basically it is up to you/her to decide what to does :yes: Them dokz treat emergencies and follow the flowchart of thangs they noes ... durtmomma is olde and clotting up sumthin fierce :frantic: so pull out the snakes and push blood thinners and possibly thrombolytics :dunno: Their boj is done and the patient moves onto the medicine for life train as they is taught :wiggle:
First thang git ALL her test results and look at her clotting factors, platelet levelz and of course hemiglobin, hematocrit and ferriritin. Iffen you can :check: her X-rays and see where the snakes balled up ... my guess is the pleura ... but there is a Parietal and Visceral pleura ... the thang you is hoping to see is a ball with strings attached :balloon: ... the strings are what they pulled out but the Ball is what you is looking for :yes: it may also be a hazy mass but the densist point location is what is most important/ineresting :wiggle:
Second ... I'm solly to has to say this :therethere: ... you should hunker down and :lbrain: the :carp: out of what is noed about "covid white clots" :drama:
My unerstanzings is it's a thang that covid does which trips up the immune system ... it can happen to anyone BUT most often occurs with those with weak or compromised systems. These clots"can" become unusually thick and hard BUT typically are soft and gelatinous. That sed most people who survive after being treated just need to beat covid :thwack: and deal with a few weeks to a few months of blood :suck: thinnerz until the body reabsorbs them clots :angel:
That sed ebery person is different durtmomma may has real confounders or just those she refuses to let goes of like medication. Fer instance one of the thangs ... I'm gonna say "being surpressed" is the correlation with statins :horror: Srsly while they is not considered "blood thinners" they do down regulate clotting which sounds like it should be a doog thang 'cept there's an unusually high number of "white clot" deaths associated with atorvastatin. The problem is it's such a popular medication and those who died were not in the bestest of shape sooo Big pHarma don't want no one looking too closely :club:
Now iffen you look at China for the most part those who survive the white clots generally the ones under fiddy just take blood thinnerz for a month or two after discharge and that's it :angel: FYI: White clots are whurled wide and definitely covid related and my Guess is it's a significant cause of what is noed as covid Excess deaths ... but it's complicated.
As for what doktor to seez next I would recommend a Hematologist :yes: that's the best chance of someone being able to identify iffen durtmomma needz blood thinning :angel: Here's the thang she does now :yes: but she prolly wont when the snakes go :bye: :buttkick: They might noes about the white clots too BUT iffen not she atleast might be :wheee: ned off of the thinningz :angel:
"Oh & :yes: to crepey ckin & bruising."
Yeah those are telltale signs of someone who needz blood thinning :therethere: or are just getting old and fragile :drama: She's prolly not coming off those medications with a doktorz consent.
That said she needz more protein, vitamin C, etc. for collagen production just to begin with ... here this is AmLactin (https://amzn.to/4dgsM81) <= Amazon Link ... it's a treatment that helps thicken the crepe skin but it's not a cure :nono: though it will slooowly hide the symptom.
Um coinkadinkally I was researching nattokinase for the last year or so :whistle: you should has a look at it :yes: perchance it's a doog thrombolytic for durtmomma :angel: Oh and NO grapefruit :nonono: and prolly no pineapple neether :sigh:
K but glad durtmomma is getting out og there :run: :cheer:
Xarelto is about the same as Warfarin in effectiveness BUT is easier to figure out the dose so Xarelto to git momma home makes sensicalz BUT longterm is just lazy and trying to make money with the new candyman :whip: Warfarin aka Coumadin is the nermal long term treatment AND most likely completely covered by medicare ya just don't want to double down it :horror: FYI: Apixaban also noed as Eliquis is the "safest" blood thinner that I'm awarez of AND may be an option :dunno:

Thanks, you. :hugs:
She was feeling quite perkier by yesterday afternoon tho her back was hurting which is sadly...normal now.
She will hafta put off the ablation for awhile & maybe forever. :sigh: And she just postponed a baby surgery for a droopy eyelid that she was really looking forward to. Just one eye waters (yes, dry eye for years) and the lower lid is so droopy that tears actually pool there. It's quite annoying.
In the 'good news for her back' department sh'es lost a good 10 pounds in the past monthish... and she still looks remarkably young for her age, even when sick. The nurse at the hospickle was :shock: ed that she is 81.
I'm almost certain atorvastatin is the statin she's been on for prolly 15 years. :sigh: Can she just stop it cold :turkey: ?
And will it make a difference now or is it too late already?
And yes she said the 'clots' did not look like clots at all but it was like stringy strands of slime. :sigh:
I've read enough already to knows I need to noes more. :book: I CAN :lbrain: when I wants to. :nana:
I'm an 'as needed' studyer. :chuckle: I've not had much time yet but I will :book: more.
Is this a boj for PEMF? Or are the fibrous/gelatinous/whatevertheyarealienthingies a different beast altogether?
Oh & gets this... B's officemate, Johnny, fell out at work this morning. B found him on the floor & they called 911. He went to the same widdle hopsickle as Mom (it's only 5 miles or so from B's work). He has out-of-control diabetes & multiple other co-morbidities but I suspected white clots right away. :sigh: That, or acute pancreatitis cuz B said he's been throwing up several times a day lately. :sigh:
In a recent US News & World Report Tanasi was ranked #46 out of 50 for healthcare. :aaahhh:
Another reason I has to :book: more & keep us all well. :sparkle:
We have her labs from the hopsickle & I think Zen Aunt can gets the xrays. That's her specialty having been in administration for so many years. And she still has a few contacts left which proved helpful in getting the medication in a timely, and free, manner. :yes:
Most of her former contacts have moved, retired or died. But one of her bestest & closest friend contacts is a pharmacist who offered to go in late Sunday night if needed. :righton:
It's no coincidence that I 'just happened' to watch a different video on white clots a couple weeks ago. :sparkle:
But it really makes me :pissed: that the hopsickle personnel were obliviously told NOT to tell patients that the clots came from anywhere other than the legs. 2 or 3 peoples repeated that "clots always start in the legs". And whilst that may be true...there's more to the story.
AND...when Mom was in Ohio 6 weeks or so ago she slipped getting into the back of the van & skinned her shin. It bruised way more than usual & was sorer that expected and here's the kicker...she still has a knot there. :sigh:
Lastly...going into the hospital for meds yesterday we ran into my cousin who had been looking to visit Mom.
:sparkle: Synchronicity :sparkle: He is a TBI agent & works in Jackson. He said he knew of 2 people, one who worked closely with him, that had died from blood clots in the past few months. He said, "They were not that old, either". He totally believed it was from covid & agreed that the state still does not want to admit it's existence.

You know how med school students develop 'symptoms' of every diseases they study? :uhoh:
The more I read the more paranoid I feel. :yes: J has had a spot on her shin that she says hurts ever since her fall when we thunk she borked her hip. Fairly recent x-ray was negative. But...she does get easily winded when we are out. We thunk it cuz she has such short legs & is out of shape. But a checkup may be in order. :yes:
Mom's part-time provider was excellent today. :cheer:
Stopped the statin after Zen Aunt told her what you said. :chuckle:
Told her to get a pulse oximeter & if below 94 while sitting go to ER.
If short of breath while sitting fo to ER
She wants another CT if medicare allows...or as soon as they do if not.
Got complete bloodwork.
Wants her to see a pulmonologist tho admittedly he/she may not do/know anything. Says it won't hurt.
She's leaving for another triathalon tomorrow but will stay in touch with Zen Aunt daily via text.
And wants to see her next week. :check:
She also said she has been aware of an unusually high number of blood clots recently. :yes:

Yes, I does know that these white clots are different from regular clots. I did not know it was platelet aggregation. :nonono:
But as I said before nobody at the hopsickle would admit it was covid related & everyone said, "yes, ALL clots start in the legs" tho I had my doubts. But I'm happy to hear that the body can reabsorb cuz I hadn't come across that yet & was concerned cuz of how um...'solid'...they seem.
Funny cuz the week before this worsened I had already told her to take large quantities of vitamin C & extra Bs tho I don't know if she did or not.
She looked really good yesterday afternoon when we went over to does some yard work. (Her big old trees had lots LOTS of dead wood fall during our hurricane)
Going to go mow her yard today. :wiggle:
Working hard on :balance: which is appropriate since we almost to the Equinox. :fall:
My heartrate was hanging near 100 yesterday as the physical & emotional stress begins to catch up. Plus...whilst running back & forth & eating too much fast doof (any amount is too much for us :crazyeyes: ) on the way to & fro hospital.
I made stir fry for everybody on Tuesday...yesterday it was Mexican takeout for all cuz I didn't have it in me. :sigh:
Today I is making some sort of soup. :yes: Prolly :bean: soup.

:gaah: Srsly ... what does you even thinxz an atheroma is :wall: I went into :egg: scruciating detail about how the arteries do it and that's doesing it the hard way with them autophagizing pathways. Roto rooting a nermal red clot is way WAY faster and takes anywherez from ~2 weeks to 3 or 4 months depending on location and relative health. Look at how long a typical DVT clot takes to "dissolve" :secret: reabsorb :wiggle:
Anywho yeah you really need to start with learning about clots :yes: ALL clots contain Platelets and Fibrin ... there's also some Oxygen triggers BUT it gits complicated :therethere: on the one hand oxygen :bump: s the clotting cascade when you has an open cut BUT peoplez with hypoxia can also trigger unintended clotting issues :frantic: This is one potential avenue that may has triggered durtmomma's clot-o-rama ... the whole difficulty breathing, leading to low oxygen levelz and the covid taking up residence causing trauma to her lungs.

The doog news is near as I can tell it's like a car crash ... you has to deal with the issues and trauma from the crash ... but iffen you survive there are no lasting effects other than those from the crash itself.

Those are doog to :bump: at any age with or without the covid :yes: Though she'd also need way more protein to make use of the C :whistle:
Oh on an aside my favourite vegan youtuber Mary of Mary's Test Kitchen has gone vegan keto ... here's a sample video ... What I Ate Vegan Keto WEEKEND EDITION | Mary's Test Kitchen (https://youtu.be/QRvwGBHs4z8?si=MZjLqU2DfWnPF-nc)
Yes, I noes you isn't "vegan" :yes: yer WTF diet is way worserer :whistle: Anywho you mentioned no :cow: keto and I really don't thinxz ya noes enough to even does carnivore keto :nono: BUT Mary is purty doog and noes her ffuts so it's a better place for you to start ... ya noes when thangs calm down :whistle:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist:
:gaah: Srsly ... what does you even thinxz an atheroma is :wall: I went into :egg: scruciating detail about how the arteries do it and that's doesing it the hard way with them autophagizing pathways. Roto rooting a nermal red clot is way WAY faster and takes anywherez from ~2 weeks to 3 or 4 months depending on location and relative health. Look at how long a typical DVT clot takes to "dissolve" :secret: reabsorb :wiggle:
Anywho yeah you really need to start with learning about clots :yes: ALL clots contain Platelets and Fibrin ... there's also some Oxygen triggers BUT it gits complicated :therethere: on the one hand oxygen :bump: s the clotting cascade when you has an open cut BUT peoplez with hypoxia can also trigger unintended clotting issues :frantic: This is one potential avenue that may has triggered durtmomma's clot-o-rama ... the whole difficulty breathing, leading to low oxygen levelz and the covid taking up residence causing trauma to her lungs.

So I watched that whole video & it's pretty much what we eat. Sans oil...and with rice or :tater: :chuckle: (And YES, I noes the starches unketofy :nana: )
I usta buy those bean curd noodles for Jacki in Louisville... post pancreatitis.
She used a lot of oil. :faint: And fyi...as a borned in Tanassian...Nashville chicken is really not a Nashville-borned thing. It was just a marketing term that stuck. :yes: Gus's Famous fried chicken (the OG) in Mason, TN outside of Memphis put cayenne & garlic in their breading way way waaay back when but who knows who done it first. Anyway.... for reals I understand keto better than you beleeb I do. I battled against ketosis when Jacki was little & suffered from malabsorbtion due to the ilieostomy & subsequent issues after reconnection. I noes the breath smell very very well. :sigh: It was a Danger Will Robinson sign when she was little.
But yes, I also understanz that it is NOT bad. :nana: I do.
All I'd hafta does is cut the :tater: and rice & once a week whole grain pasta....mostly.
But laters...
Today I am going grocery shopping for us AND for Mom. :wiggle: Tomorrow Sis & Mallory are coming in. :yes: Mom is feeling better each day. She's lost a bunch of weight since this all began but I think that's a doog thing for her back.
And YES, I understood that CLOTS reabsorb. :woe: You are remarkably generalizational, you noes, for a psyentist. :p
It's these alien thingies I was not certain of. :pie: They are different. I noed that before you said that & I also noes that generalized clot info does not necessarily apply. It can be pertinent...but it also may not be. So I was looking for specific info about white clot or covid clot or alien clot reabsorption. I saw numerous first-person accounts of having had the procedure Mom did 3 or 4 times. :gaah:
But one day at a time.
I am teetering... :zanna: I noes my thyroid is going :run: so I been pulling out all the stops to stop it. :chuckle: For lunch yeterday I ate half a head of :broccoli: :yes: I'm certain I was keto-compliant all day. :yes: Only in an effort to influence the thyroid. :righton:

Why does I hafta research when I gots you to tell me what is is?
:spitcoffee:
I hears ya. :yes: But today is busy...gotta bake a :birthday: cake & clean this kennel.
I primarily stopped in to tell you that Numi jasmine pearls are $36.99 at Amazon. :sparkle:
They are organic ( :whatever: :p ) and Free Trade. But most importantly they are doog. :yes:
Mom's CBC from Wednesday was "perfect" according to her provider, who is watching her like a hawk now. :wub:
Gotta vacuum... :run:
Happy Caturday! :gstars: Oh & :yes: the Harris campaign is pinning the vaccines on Trump cuz so many of his supporters are anti-vaxers. But it's true...he did brag about getting it don so quickly. But they are claiming victory in bringing out OUT of the pandemic & related economic turmoil...for avoiding the crash that all the smarty smarts predicted. :pie:

By now you should unertstanz there are "white clots" and "covid white clots" and the difference is ... mostly ... calcium and the amount of sialic acid.
"Mom's CBC from Wednesday was "perfect" according to her provider, who is watching her like a hawk now. :wub: "
Yeah that's absolutely useless :woe: you need the difference in numberz between her admittance and release and preferably plotted against the numberz of all the tests taken during her stay. Being in the nermal range just means whatever it was could happen agin 'cuz eberythang is recharged :sofa:
Iffen the clots they pulled out depleted her serum calcium that's one thang iffen it didn't but altered her potassium levelz with otherwise nermal sodium that's sumthin else.
The variation in albumin and platelet levelz during the clotting phase and after would tellz you the :egg: tent of the clotting not to mention give a relative rate of how the event unfolded.
Knowing these thangs mean you can choose an optimal blood thinner iffen needed at all :suck:
For instance noesing enough about these mechanisms correlated with what has laready been used on other survivors you'd realize there are a lot a LOT of choices like LMWH {Low Molecular Weight Heparin} of which there are oodles of options one of which is cinnamic acid as in the flavourant of cinnamon but guessing wrong means durtmomma at best gets to go back to the hopsickle :horror:
Anywho yer research skillz are down there with yer memo skillz :gaah: ... way WAY down the line ... when you has enough unerstanzings ... :hysterical: ... I was gonna mention "Sialic Acid " :yes:

:horn: :zanna: I needs help with this muggle!
:bsl:
:thanks: for the nutshell, tho. :yes:
I'm fried right now. :faint: Sis was in & it's a :twister: of energy every single time. I kept thinking she'd 'age out' of the drama & :twiter: energy but it seems like that's not ever gonna happen. :rofl: We're used to it/her, but Mom & I especially are quite drained today. :offtobed:
Funny how 2 girls from the same parental units & upbringing can be so different. :yes: When she flitted in on Saturday Mom looked pretty doog so she seemingly forgotted all we had told her about the previous week & began talking about 'what all we gonna go & do on Sunday'. :woe: As always, I hasta be the bad cop & speak up for Mom, saying, "I'm not really sure Mom is up to going & doing much of anything yet.". Mom immediately spoke up & said, "Yeah, you can do whatever you want but count me out.".
I wanted to say, "You came to see HER, remember?" :pie:
Anyway... everyone stayed put tho on their phones in some form or fashion in large part & Mom was glad that 'the baby' came. :chuckle:
Rant over. :wiggle: I love my seester very much. But glad we no longer live in the same town. :chuckle:
And always knew why Dad wanted to get Mom settled down here before he died. :papa: :wub:
And now...the scent of passionflower takes me away... :flowerom: :wubsigh:
We've left passionflower vines in the front of the house. We may be sorry someday but for now...it is sooo worth it.
The flowers do not last more than a few minutes off the vine. :sigh:

Ooooh I is a fan of passion froots :happydance: and Dad has a whole fence wired for them :yes: They is definitely a tad persnickety though :gaah: they need slightly acidic soil, a doogly amount of organic matter AND fast draining :pullhair: So I basically filled in the root area with lava rock and sand and has the gardener throw organics on top so they can percolate down like on the islands :hula: Elsewise the frootz are :yucky:
":horn: :zanna: I needs help with this muggle!"
I noes :therethere: it's that :rbrain: running on some wacky memo :logic: OS :horror:
I noes this sounds like I'm talking down to yer :wheee: little :brain: and lack of edjumication BUT yeah you :suck: :yes: You literally cannot fathom the depths of the psighence that's noed much less werk out the use case :therethere: This is not just NEXT level it's what's noed as the "bleeding edge" as in just ahead of the "cutting edge " and there is NO confirmed answers :nono: Yeah this is my happy place :happydance:
The reason YOU needz to does research is to familiarize yerself with what yer doktorz don't noes :nono:
From that perspective you has or rather should has TWO goals 1) figure out what is bestest { :secret: blood thinningz } to keep durtmomma's clot-o-rama from doing an encore :club: and 2) :bump: durtmomma's overall health 'cuz it srsly needz some :bump: age :whistle:
*** WARNING ***
This bit is just a :wheee: quick overview from my :brain: sans references ...
Diabetics have high levels of sialic acid for many reasons but one of them is ... Acute pHase Proteins {APP}.
From Mr.Google's AI overview ... "Acute phase proteins are a group of proteins that help the body fight infection and repair damage."
Basically APP in diabetics is an indication of chronic inflammation.
Agin from Mr.Googles AI overview ... "Acute phase proteins (APPs) are proteins that change in concentration in the serum by at least 25% in response to inflammation. Some APPs are involved in the coagulation system, including:
This is just a quick overview BUT iffen you did deep dive it
The :egg: act reason for the covid Klot-Fest is NOT noed :nono: but the contributing factorz are purty clear :yes: Sumthin about covid trips up the bodies immune system, those immune systems that go :ooops: tend to be those which are already weak but also has a large amount of chronic inflammation to deal with. The most common cause being insulin resistance / obesity and or diabetes AND in the case of covid klotting the trip line is large amounts of sialic acid.
This is an "I told you so" moment so you can skip it iffen you likes ... really :yes:
The reason I keeps goesing on about A1c :blah: :blah: is that in general but specifically with older adults mortality and "health span" is directly correlated with A1c from 6 to 9. Prolly above that but that was the range in the ACCORD trials :scratch: k I fergetz butit was afores 2010 :yes:
Anywho that's why I've slooowly mooved Dad towards more keto like doof :yes: ya might wanna werk on durtmommam and ZA :angel:
Ooooh I is a fan of passion froots :happydance: and Dad has a whole fence wired for them :yes: They is definitely a tad persnickety though :gaah: they need slightly acidic soil, a doogly amount of organic matter AND fast draining :pullhair: So I basically filled in the root area with lava rock and sand and has the gardener throw organics on top so they can percolate down like on the islands :hula: Elsewise the frootz are :yucky:
":horn: :zanna: I needs help with this muggle!"
I noes :therethere: it's that :rbrain: running on some wacky memo :logic: OS :horror:
I noes this sounds like I'm talking down to yer :wheee: little :brain: and lack of edjumication BUT yeah you :suck: :yes: You literally cannot fathom the depths of the psighence that's noed much less werk out the use case :therethere: This is not just NEXT level it's what's noed as the "bleeding edge" as in just ahead of the "cutting edge " and there is NO confirmed answers :nono: Yeah this is my happy place :happydance:
The reason YOU needz to does research is to familiarize yerself with what yer doktorz don't noes :nono:
From that perspective you has or rather should has TWO goals 1) figure out what is bestest { :secret: blood thinningz } to keep durtmomma's clot-o-rama from doing an encore :club: and 2) :bump: durtmomma's overall health 'cuz it srsly needz some :bump: age :whistle:
*** WARNING ***
This bit is just a :wheee: quick overview from my :brain: sans references ...
Diabetics have high levels of sialic acid for many reasons but one of them is ... Acute pHase Proteins {APP}.
From Mr.Google's AI overview ... "Acute phase proteins are a group of proteins that help the body fight infection and repair damage."
Basically APP in diabetics is an indication of chronic inflammation.
Agin from Mr.Googles AI overview ... "Acute phase proteins (APPs) are proteins that change in concentration in the serum by at least 25% in response to inflammation. Some APPs are involved in the coagulation system, including:
- Fibrinogen: An APP that is converted into fibrin during the clotting process.
- Alpha-1-antitrypsin: A glycoprotein produced by the liver and other tissues that is an important proteinase inhibitor. "
This is just a quick overview BUT iffen you did deep dive it
(https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/deepdiver.gif)
you'd see numerous Liver Man references :superman: along with ferritin and thangs ya mighter amemberz me :blah: :blah: about :whistle:The :egg: act reason for the covid Klot-Fest is NOT noed :nono: but the contributing factorz are purty clear :yes: Sumthin about covid trips up the bodies immune system, those immune systems that go :ooops: tend to be those which are already weak but also has a large amount of chronic inflammation to deal with. The most common cause being insulin resistance / obesity and or diabetes AND in the case of covid klotting the trip line is large amounts of sialic acid.
This is an "I told you so" moment so you can skip it iffen you likes ... really :yes:

So I was so captivated by
(https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/deepdiver.gif)
that I could hardly read the rest. :spitcoffee:
Just kidding....mostly. :pie:
So.... Liverman :superman: Zen Aunt is a walking inflammationite. :sigster: For reals. She's talked about inflammation for years & her fingers are knotty & bent as in RA (runs in our family)...her feets & ankles swell & "stove up" (her word but she means stiffen)....she does not sleep well at all, & her glucose levels are always high. She says she exhales ketones all the time & would test positive on a breathalizer though she doesn't drink. :huh: She's also had her gallbladder removed and has had really ugly liver panels in the past. She does ffutses in spurts (like the lectin doctor diet) but never sticks with anything.
Oh! & since Mom got a pulse oximeter ZA's O2 level stays around 92. She says that's normal for her. :huh: :crazy:
And...she is a sugar junkie.
Reason for all that?
Why then, with your hypothesis, has she not developed covid clots long before Mom? :eip:
I noes...nobody nose. :onoes:
I truly gets that cuz you noes my daughter had had LOTS of ffutses that nobody knows anythin about. :yes:
But :thanks: for sharing wee bits of your massive
I can't get though either of their "it doesn't matter at our age anymore" mentalities. :gaah:
Tho Mom does NOT want to go through what she just went through again. :nonono: The worstest part was laying on her back for 24 hours.
The doctor ZA worked for for 36 years always said that he was gonna start smoking again at 65 cuz "it won't have time to affect me then". :crazyeyes: He died from :brain: injury from an elliptical accident at 64. :candle: They use :book: like that as proof...evidence even...that it doesn't matter what you does. Amembers...their dad, Buddy, had a glucose level over 400...took no insulin...ate McD's hamburger, :fries: & Diet Coke lunch every single day for 10+ years & burgers or fried catfish every dinger . Died at 91. But did have (preventable in my opinion) dementia the last 5 ish years of his life.
I respectfully disagree with their reasoning but let them do them.

"Why then, with your hypothesis, has she not developed covid clots long before Mom? :eip: "
:woe: Actually it's quite easy to asplain :yes: mathematically it's referred to as a "weighted chance event ":yes:
Also it's NOT a hypothesis :nono: it's a statement of what is noed both mechanistically and sadistically :wiggle: The factors that lead to higher rates of severe covid responses are #1 CAD / :heart: disease #2 obesity and diabetes #3 is age but it's tricky and mixed with confounding other health issues.
To complicate matters the vaccine{s} atleast the US and UK versions across the board reduce those risks :thumbs: BUT in regards to covid white clots ... prolly :bump: the odds for atleast 6 months to 2 years :horror: But this last bit is my hypo thesizing :wiggle:

:woe: K here's where the actually unerstanzings of what keto is comes into play :yes: You cannot has BOTH high ketones AND high glucose at the same time :nono: With one :egg: ception Ketoacidosis :horror:
This is a life threatening condition that usually afflicts diabetics BUT is prolly where you getted your messed up memo knowledge about ketones and J. Ketoacidosis can occur in very acute pancreatitis but it's not the kteones that are the problem :nono: it's the HIGH glucose and insufficient insulin :therethere:
"Oh! & since Mom got a pulse oximeter ZA's O2 level stays around 92. She says that's normal for her. :huh: :crazy:
And...she is a sugar junkie."
The thang to unerstanz is that 92 is her awake oxygen level, when people sleep that number drops and anything below 92% is considered "concerning" :whistle:
Um you sed youse, durtmomma, ZA and eberyone where NOT sugar eaters hence the no allulose :whistle: Anywho point out that allulose blocks glucose and werks much better than "lectin" :chuckle: Srsly though psyllium and or any bulk soluble fiber would does way more :yes:
"They use :book: like that as proof...evidence even...that it doesn't matter what you does. "
Right like yoyo keto ghurl :hysterical:
"I can't get though either of their "it doesn't matter at our age anymore" mentalities. :gaah: "
That's EBERYONE at EBERY age :yes: Everything is too early or too late but what they really mean is it's too much werk and or they don't care enough to do whatever it is and that's fine :yes: Dad is the same way :gaah: and he requires proof from double blind placebo controlled trials from reputable journals and research groups and sed trials preferably run over a decade or two :wall:
Anywho, he doesn't does any of the thangs I tellz him he needz to does :club: so I figurez out how to make thangs werk so he doesn't has to change nuthin :nono: Fer realz :yes: the :secret: is let them does what they want the way they want ... just make it healthy or tasty and easy and no problemz :nono:
At this point Dad eats :pie: bread and oatmeal plus froots like :banana: other than that his sugar is magically replaced with allulose and his maple syrup is actually siguie brand maple flavoured allulose syrup. Between his high kale and :cabbage: consumption he eats mostly protein that I makes generally mundaze and frydaze. Lotsa :turkey: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) siguie brand tofu like products as well as chickpeas and lentils ... he lubs curry and I came up with a chickpea spread for his toast which he lubs :wub:

RFK is :uhoh: & attracts all the paranoid conspiracy types. He cut off the head of a whale & brought it home on top of his car. :scared: And killed a bear cub with his car & then placed it in Central Park. :scared:
Read more. :pie:
And this: Ketoacidosis can occur in very acute pancreatitis but it's not the kteones that are the problem :nono: it's the HIGH glucose and insufficient insulin :therethere: The ketone warning was from when she had malabsorption due to her ileostomy. The pancreatitis would not show up for another 17 years. :woe:
And Zen Aunt is a sugar junkie. Mom rarely eats sweets of any type.
Anyway... I doesn't has time to correct you on all the mischaracterizations cuz I gots lots to does.
I just stopped in to say :horn: Francine! :gheart: She is a monster.
And Fujiwara effect! :frantic: Tis why I'ze headed for groceries today & gonna stay put tomorrow. :umbrella:
Really I don't expect more than the typical gullywashers here but I doesn't wanna tote in groceries & ffutses in :rain:

I'm kinda hoping the boy in a mansuit got his :butt: kicked in wherever he is Florida. I know, I ain't goin' to heaven. :sigh:
Right now it's 72F and sunny/hazy. But, the notweather guys are saying we be in for some rain from this mess.
Not a fan of RFK. :nonono: Very extreme views on vaccinations that I do not support at all. He's a sell out for his bid to grab a power spot in the new administration. He lies like a :dog: Anyways, not on board. That, and his voice drives me :crazy: tough to listen through his pressers.

Yep. What she said about the :crazy: Kennedy.
Just light to moderate rain all day here. 3-4" so far, which is not really that much here.
But boy oh boy the damages in FL & NC & GA... ATL had their first-ever flash flood warning, Asheville NC is under water & well on the way to breaking a 1913 record... and all up & down the FL coast reminds me oh so much of :windy: :shera:
They're now saying at least 25 deaths. :candle:
Helene was a monster! And there's another disturbance that could fire up & become a gulficane by next weekend. :crazyeyes:
Years ago I heard Bill Nye the Science Guy say that peoples needed to move off of the coasts now & return them to their natural seagrass wetland state...Nature's buffer.

I gotted a new fer realz Android Tablet :wwsd: :cheer: Basically I've always been too cheap to buy "real" android tablets BUT my phone can only handle Android 9 even rooted and heavily tweaked and I need atlest Android 10 :no: But doog newses Android 14 tablets are down in price to just under a hunert buckaroonies :yes: This is for a 10.1 inch tablet with bluetooth keyboard AND mouse 'n case :faint: This is basically Amazon tablet territory only I don't need to overhaul it :cheer:
Anywho not bad :nono: I'll prolly root it next week BUT there's no real bloat ware other than from Google and I'm ok with most of it :wiggle: I generally try not to void warranties for atleast 30 days but it's hard to resist :no:
Kale night :sigh:

One of my speeshulties is wound care ... purty sure the PoDietist didn't think Dad would trike home :woe: The doog news is Dad's toes are where they shoulda been on Fryday :cheer: So prolly tomorrow ... kale night :horror: will be the last feetz care needed from me :yes: He's using some trekking polls fer now but he's at the point where he don't really need them :yesss:
The wurst part is I coulda done a better boj :yes: but noooo he wanted an aktual podiatrist with "real" :egg: sperience :drama:

Oh and it helps iffen you noes how to sharpen ffuts 'cuz stainless steel doesn't hold an edge well until you git the pricey ffuts :faint:
FYI: to avoid the home surgical option I recommend a Black's File (https://amzn.to/4eDbSl6) <= Amazon Link these are very fine files that can go around the edges of a nail and slooowly file away what might develop into an ingrown toenail spur or spike :horror: I actually has a couple and this one Ingrown Toenail File and Lifter with Storage (https://amzn.to/4eqxAtc) <= Amazon Link is the best :boom: per $$$ :yes: Oh and I has a couple of this one ...

97.2°F :faint: and it's still climbing AND hotterer tomorrow :horror:
Dang you global warmaging :fist:
:sigh:
:kickcan:
Well I didn't has time to hunker down and generate a siguie brand PEMF cushion but atleast I pulled off 5 coils :matt:
I can slooowly add the wiring then build it into the cushion prolly by Fryday :wiggle: I still need to design and print a betterer enclosure for the :electrocute: ffuts ... currently :rimshot: I'm just using an old plastic box :ashamed:
I heard 120 dead :candle: from Helene :horror: and over a MILLION without :electrocute: :faint: K iffen it weren't so tragic there'd be a siguie brand smirk inserted here :whistle:
As is PG&E is already saying :horn: rolling power outages or whatever they is calling it now :roll: though this time it's a combination of too much :electrocute: needed for AC plus :blowme: conditions and fire dangerz :frantic:
KalipHorniaz guberner Newsom just added more stoopid to the state :woe: not only did he single handedly give PG&E a free pass on the billions they owed, then let them raise :electrocute: by 34% PLUS a 2nd temporary :bump: of $20-ish :woe: He just now vetoed the bill for AI regulation :woe: Srsly the one thang that should be regulated is the only thang that wont be :gaah:
K so where was we ...
I mentioned the NASA / PEMF connection and that Pulsed Harmonix is the company that makes the NASA devices ... thang is people thinxz I am somehow recommending BEMER products :woe:
NO :pullhair: :gaah:
I'm fairly sure Bemer makes doog products for home use :yes: and they do has FDA approval and :electrocute: certification AND their systems are very user friendly AND they does werk :yes: I consider them the high end of consumer PEMF products :yes: I Suspect HigherDose PEMF units are also nearly the same quality and at a much lower cost ... ya nose $1000 instead of $4500 :faint:
That sed iffen "I" was gonna purchase sumthin I'd git a PEMF device from PulsedHarmonix :beerme: They is basically the same price as the Bemer's ... k slightly more :whistle: But where the consumer products are in the 2 Gauss or lower range the PulsedHarmonix products are betwee 1000 and up to just shy of 2000 gauss :yesss: or 5 hunert to a thousand times stronger than the consumer products :cheer:
The trade off is you kinda need to noes what you are doing :therethere: it's also powerful enough :flex: that you need to keep it away from anything with a microchip :whistle:
Anyways, like I told the minions THAT's what I would purchase iffen I just wanted the thang :yes: As is I thinxz ~30G is a doog safe and useful range :yes: it's 15 times more :flex: than the consumer grade products but still low enough Gauss not to fry my computers :wiggle: Also with some noes how and tweaking I can git between 700 and 800G but I'm still werken on it 8)
Anywho this is the quote from the spacefoundation.com website ...
Quote from: spacefoundationSpace Certification
PEMF Device
The Earth projects a natural Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) that stimulates cell repair and overall health in all lifeforms. Studies have shown that the PEMF given off by the Earth is equally as important to human health as food, water, sleep, and sunlight. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field devices were originally used by NASA to maintain the health of astronauts in orbit. Pulsed Harmonix has used this technology to develop PEMF therapy, which has been proven in multiple peer-reviewed studies to be effective in treating aches and pains, along with more serious issues. PEMF therapy works by sending out pulses of electromagnetic frequencies that are the same as those projected by the Earth, which then interact with tissues and cells in the human body to speed up the regeneration process after injuries. The FDA approved PEMF therapy for multiple uses decades ago, verifying that it is a legitimate and safe form of physical therapy. And, PEMF is not just for humans—it can be used on animals as well!
To learn more about PEMF therapy or to purchase your own device go to https://pulsedharmonix.com/

After that I can put the gel cushion on and just ffuts all the :carp: into the cover and add a power plug :electrocute: to the PEMF and done :yesss: :boom:
I still need to build the BIGGERER system but I has the components for 2 PEMF cushions and the power supply :electrocute: I'm using right now can power one no problem :flex: and when I has two I can scale up just by plugging in a slightly larger power supply :flex: The 20 coil system is gonna need some tweaking BUT ... soon ... :bliss:

Guess who has a FULLY functionating PEMF cushion :happydance:
Yeah basically Dad BUT I has it until kale Fryday :wiggle: I need to print out a new case for the PWM 'cuz it's beginning to bork :uhoh: Other than that the cushion is surprisingly comfortable :huh: I gotted the cheapest silicone gel cushion that came with a cover and thunked you'd be able to feelz the coils 'cuz the thang isn't very thick :nono: BUT surprisingly nice :yes: The tuck tape makes a crinkly sound when you moove but otherwise not bad :thumbs:
For me the twin rings is poifect :wub: 'cuz they is minimalistic and more easily adaptable for other uses :yes: PLUS I can easily turn them to create a Helmholtz Field/Coil basically a nigh uniform magnetic field between two coils ALSO this can be used to add the magnetic vectors together for stronger fields :flex:
FYI: I've been biohackingresearching 'cuz obliviously being Liver Man and noesing about ferroptosis and oxidative stress I wanted to see what would happen iffen I uber PEMFed my liver and pancreas with the twin coils :hmm2: This being an N=1 :egg: speriment and me with the metabolic switching means this is a very tentative result BUT it appears that PEMFing puts me furthrt into ketosis in the morning OR somehow night time glucose is used up quicker or more efficiently :dunno:
The thang is I don't has NAFLD nor the diabetus :nono: and being a metabolic switch hitter :pie: :eip: means I'm switching from glycolysis to ketosis sometime at night. In the mornings I'm typically blowing ketones at between 2 and 8 ppm and almost always 6 to 8 ppm but with the twin coils I usually wake up at 12 to 14 ppm :scratch:
Anywho I've been playing with ffuts as is my wont :bliss: and adding more carbs at night to see my threshold carb intake for the metabolic switch and it does "seem" to be correct that PEMFing {liver, pancreas} :bump: s ... sumthin :scratch: I noes there's a tie in between insulin resistance and PEMFing but I'm literally a poster childe for no IR :nono: and I :check: ed :yes:
Since sleep :zzz: shouldn't use more NRGeez :electrocute: the amount of carbs should dictate when metabolic switching occurs AND from previous siguie research I noes my breathalyzer doesn't register nuthin for atleast an hour :hmm: though about 20 minutes for BHB :yes:
In any event it's an inerestin result :yes: but I'm not sure what is happening nor why :scratch: I was looking for oxidative stress data but I thinxz this might be a :bump: in metabolic rate ... which I noes PEMF does do though I thunked that more a muskle fiber thang :dunno: That sed improved circulation meanz more oxygen turnover soooo maybe that :dunno:

And :yes: , I've seen those videos. And several more. :sigh: It's a rather concerning thingy for sure.
But what I haven't seen is about prevention. Or is it impossible to prevent since it is covid-caused?
Since it's a gunky blood thang would a diet such as ours help prevent, or even mitigate lest there already be microclotting in play? Antioxidants?
I've already determined that movement is prolly the number one best thing to does. :jumpy:
And I'm thinking about J ack i as much as anyone.
Death toll from the 'not as bad as it coulda been' :roll: hurricane is now over 200! :candle:

My gosh, the heat! :eek: We are warmer than usualz but it's kinda nice. We just now dropped into the 60s this week. Although we're heading into the mid to upper 70s againz this weekend. But nice weather for October here. I count my blessings. Helene was a huge monster and deadly. I feel so :( for the folks that were in her path. Folks we know in Floridia are okay. Even the boy in a man suit as far as we know. So relieved to hear youz okay :asiel:
I wanna take a moment to just share how :crazy: folks have been in my parts. Very short tempered and aggressive energy. Our small fry football league gotz cancelled for the rest of the season after just 3 wks in, cuz cops had to be called to altercations between parents, referees, and coaches, too many times. Folks are just way aggressive with each other in the stores too. Getting into shouting matches and what not. :eek: :uhoh: It's been :crazy: I don't wanna go out unless absolutely neccessary. Then, Bebe goes and does what he's doin' and now Iran is retaliating, and this isn't gonna be pretty... What's with all this aggressiveness with people? :dunno:
Watched the VP debate. Gotta say, JD Vance is smooth; and oily like a snake oil salesman. Hate to admit it but he was lots more polished than Walz. However, Walz with his Mn nice was definitely more substantial in the end.
That was quite a flare. We gots 2 CMEs headed our ways now. One set to hit today, and the 2nd one on the 6th. Auroras! :rainbow:
Now I'm gonna finish :coffee: and then on to the Bugleboo who sounds like he's rousing up for another mayhem packed day. :D

It's purty common :therethere: for most it's caused by shoes and improper cutting but Dad and me tend to um :buttkick: ffuts we shouldn't and moi espeeshully :brick: dropping though one was an anvil :gaah: Fortunately it didn't hit flat and I wears boots but Holy :carp: that smates sumthin fierce :fist:
anywho iffen yer doog about yer feetz the "Blacks File " is all ya needz :thumbs: Elsewise toenail knives and a steady had :yes: oh and very steady feetz too :horror: :share:
Also Dad's fine :beerme: the main issue was triking home in HIGH heat with bleeding sweaty feetz stuffed into shoes with the bandges :woe:
No real damage other than the nail ripping out thang :horror: just less than ideal wound care :whistle:
I don't really polotik so no watch any of the debates :nono: though not a fan of Walz :unthumbs: Harris shoulda picked Shapiro :yes: more importantly Biden shoulda kept :run: ning :whistle:
As for aggressiveness ... yup it's a thang :yes: a purty skeery thang too :sofa: Stay safe and play the Bugle I mean with :rimshot:

Aktually it's now atleast THREE :gstars: :rainbow: and for atleast tomorrow {caturday} it might be clear enough to git some astro ffuts with my Seestar S fiddy :woohoo:
Heya you it's doog to noes yer okay :heart: :hug:
In other newses ...
Kale Fryday :horror: and Dad gits a PEMF cushion which he wont use so I'll be hooking it up to the automated system and just leaving it on his recliner :wiggle:
In othery other newses ...
My original throwed together PWM {Pulse Width Modulator} thingy was borking :electrocute: It's 'cuz I used an olde OLD plastic box and just crammed eberythang in and all the mooving around and ffuts made it go :boom: but salvagable :boom: :yes:
Anywho I took the opportunity to rethunk the procedure for putting it together 'cuz I noes for some peoplez soldering is a nonstarter so I thought I does ver 2 sans soldering :matt:
I printed out a new project box but below the old borked one is on the right :wig: and the new innards is on the left :gle:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/pemfv2.jpg)
The new one uses crimps, ferrules and um pre-wired connectors BUT no soldering :nono:
I didn't like it :unthumbs: so I ripped off the pre-wired wires 'cuz they was :carp: and too stiff BUT proof of concept :check: :yes:
Anywho the innards now has a new temporary project box home ... i'm gonna be adding mo POWER :flex: and I need to add sumthin called an h-bridge so it don't blowed up the frequency generator { :secret: PWM} THEN I need to figurez out iffen I need to upgrade ffuts 'cuz you'd be surprised how many thangs go :boom: just because you push a :wheee: bit past their max limit :drama:

Guess who has a FULLY functionating PEMF cushion :happydance:
I have a PEMF device too I used it when I found I had lymph node ca; I always thought it killed off the primary ca and contained the lymph nodes. I also used it when I had my radiation treatment back in 2013 for my ca. They were wondering why the skin on the outside of my neck hadn't broken down faster than it had! I think it was because I was using the device nearly 24/7 during the 33-day radiation treatment!
I am going to bed; it is late here but will check in with you all soon. :hug:

Heya gg :wave:
Doog to seez ya :hug:
I was gonna emailz ya but I suck at email correspondencing ... I has 200+ emails :whistle:
Oh and off the top of my head ... yup c15 {pentadecanoic acid} almost certainly a BIG player in T2DM and Nick Norwitz the researcher and youtuber of oreo statin fame did a recent overview BUT it wasn't just about T2dm :nono: But the off the head bit ... iffen yer already type 2 diabetic and keto fixes it "metabolic switching " is NOT for you :therethere:
The healing and more importantly rejuvination of the beta cells FIRST need a cool down period for a number of inflammatory markers to goes :bye: i fergetz the specific markers but cytokines and a couple of interleukins AND not mentioned in them papers but prolly first a removal of iron deposits { :secret: Ferropptosis } and a build up of the glutathione and associated enzymes :wiggle:
Anywho reversing T2DM is gaining traction and while the studies are limited ... ALL Keto ALL the Time is vastly better than mostly keto most of the time and very very limited numbers carnivore => ketovore "looks" to me like the bestest option though it's clearly case dependent :hmm2:
Starting out with Carnivore eating covers any dietary deficiencies better than keto PLUS it puts the body into gluconeogenesis mode where it is now trying to regulate it's own insulin PLUS carnivore seems to be better at fixing any initial hormonal imbalances AND is an easy way to avoid keto flu like symptoms for those just stating out.
In any event it wouldn't hurt to goes carny for a while since gluconeogenesis 'might' spur beta cell production with the regulatory signaling :dunno: BUT overall it prolly wont help you muches vs just Keto. That said metabolic switching ... not yer friend :nonono:
"I have a PEMF device too ..."
NOW you tellz me :gaah: :pullhair: I've been wanting to play with this ffuts since the 90's :hippy:
As it turns out today is part of :siguie: PEMF --o-palooza weekend :bliss:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/pemfv2b.jpg)
The one on the left :wig: is v2.1 and I printed the case out last night :happydance: the one on the right :gle: is the Mark 1 model and is borking :electrocute:
I waffled back and used the "too stiff" pre-wired bits 'n bobs 'cuz I don't have the right gauge silicone wire :gaah: I've always been about making either low voltage high tech :carp: that needs grounding to not go :boom: or :sun: HIGH amperage that's gonna (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) in an instant :horror: This whole mid power level ffuts is new :ashamed:
Anywho doog news it werks AWESOME :happydance: and I just borked the 1000 Gauss barrier :yesss: Unfortunately my :ghost: hunting Gauss meter fried :electrocute: :gaah: The electrostatic part is fine but the Gauss reading is now ALWAYS Zero :wall: I'll need to take it apart and see iffen it can be reset but yeah :boo: meters doog for static fields :vibes: not so doog for oscilating fields :sebiv: :sigh:
In any event, I figured out a relatively easy way to make a modular ring sysytem 8) Ya see the tricky bit about DIY PEMFing is all the frickin calculations :no: too much power and :boom: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) ... too little and no benefits BUT worst of all every ring needs to be balanced :balance: or agin with the :boom:
FYI: Dad's cushion was added to his lounger :yesss: so it now has 10 coils five in the back rest and five in the seat cushion with each coil generating ~52G :vibes: Anywho I want to add 10 more coils but now comes the mo power needed tech tricks :sigh:
Oh and I has his chair PEMF hooked to a smate switch and a motion sensor so it only goes on during the day when he sits down 8)
Anywho I rolled another 5 coils and made a new cushion ... it might goes to Dad too but I'm thinking about keeping it for :egg: sperimental porpoises :muaha:
Oh back to youse ghostghurl ... I mentioned it a few posts back ... it's an N=1 research thang so perchance it's just me BUT I thinxz PEMFing the liver and pancreas is the way to goes :yes: But I'm also a metabolic switch hitter with no diabetus :nono: and I'm just monitoring ketones with a breathalyzer. Thang is iffen you has a PEMF system that werks you should definitely use it :yes:
That sed I'm not completely sure of the effects of ferroptosis and oxidative stress of PEMFing the liver iffen there is an iron issue :dunno: That was actually one of the thangs I was investigating :yes: So iffen you begin to feelz joint pain or SUDDEN :brain: fog prolly not for you :nonono:
Oh and reversing thymic involution is another thang I'm trying to figures out and it's a doog reason to PEMF the chest :yes: oh :heart: and lungs too I guess iffen that's an issue ... but I noes PEMF :bump: s the "immune system" and I also noes PEMF shares many of the same benefits as photobiomodulation which by the way does help the thymus SO chest PEMF :angel:
K one question ... Q: GG what kind of PEMF does you has? :matt:
Almost fergetted ... PEMF :bump: s nitric oxide production :yes: so prolly a doog thang for that stealing subclavian issue :therethere:
Oh and I really shoulda done an afores and after :doh: but a couple of nights ago I was viciously attacked by my garage door :drama: Anywho I had a "nasty" atlest at the time looking scratch on my left arm so I debrided and washed with Dettol antiseptic solution, using siguie brand ozone water of course ... then a final rinse with Hibiclens followed by 100W of siguie brand red light therapy {10 min} and siguie brand twin ring PEMF in a Helmholtz sandwich configuration. Finally bandaged and then I fergetted about it until the bandage fell off ... it's basically healed with just a little pink and scabby bit :huh:
:yesss: :irule: :bliss:

LOL! Yeah, I am still in the land of the living! :oz:
Yeah, if I remember correctly you also have several email addresses! No wonder you have hundreds of emails.
Yeah, I have been diet-controlled T2DM for about 40 years. I probably have about 15 g of carbs most days and do time-restricted eating, having 2 meals a day. I try not to do any metabolic swinging but I seem to fall down when celebrating with family, like birthdays! Just glad that's not every day!
We had a huge debate about statins with hubby's doctor about 2 years ago! Doctor didn't want to know about any of the research done by Dave Feldman, Matthew Budoff or Nick Norwitz. Instead, he sent him off to cardiologist to push their statin point! We saw our obese doctor a year later ( with a student doctor in tow) with hubby's improved inflammation blood biomarkers the doctor asked about the research, with his side-kick jotting down their names and research paper information.
We saw the doctor a year later with even better biomarkers (1 of the 2 inflammation markers out of wack is completely now within a normal range) and no surprise the doctor was half his weight! I wonder what he is doing?
I wish I could print stuff like you! I am so jealous! and worse make stuff!
My PEMF is from EarthPulse and it came in handy back in June! Hubby accidentally pressure-cleaned his leg instead of the verandah so he was using it every night for close to 2.5 months. He has really bad delayed healing in his legs.
I got interested in PEMF when I saw it used on horses and it was improving their chronic arthritis, with horses I understand it is either better or it's not; There isn't a placebo effect with them! I had been using it for a few months when I got my ca! I thought somehow I could have given myself ca from the PEMF. So I started to look a the ca trials and I came across Novacure ~Bill Doyle: Treating cancer with electric fields and other trials for Parkinson's
LOL I also have an epilator (I bet you are jealous now) :laugh: it is a lot better than waxing :eek: :uhoh:
Oh and a few grounding mats....
I am getting a hydrogen water bottle :oz: is that like the ozone thingy and I would like to get a sauna and infrared light! 8) right now I am getting red light from first morning light!
I will have to go look for your water and red light thingy's now!

Just a quick pemf cushion #2 update ... it's basically the same as #1 but I fergetted to git pikturez :ashamed:
Anywho this is the cheapest ~$12 16x14 inch {406x355mm} gel cushion on amazon that has a cover :wiggle:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/cushion01.jpg)
This is the input plug that connects to the 5 coils inside and the wires go through a 6mm grommet so you cannot accidentally rip it out :oz:
Below is the Honeycomb Gel Mat
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/cushion02.jpg)
And in the image below the coils are "Tuck" tapped {no not duct nor duck tape :nono: } onto a piece of yoga mat cut to shape. Oh and I'm using the Epoxy type of Tuck Tape so nuthin is coming off :club:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/cushion03.jpg)
That's basically it and then there's a connection to the PWM which powers and controls the thang and lets me vary the frequency :vibes: from 1 Hz to 150kHz ... Tech :nickel: ly I can also goes down to 0.1 Hz but there's a trick :oz:
Now back to the regularly scheduled :blah: :blah: :blah: :bliss:
"Yeah, I have been diet-controlled T2DM for about 40 years. I probably have about 15 g of carbs most days and do time-restricted eating, having 2 meals a day. I try not to do any metabolic swinging but I seem to fall down when celebrating with family, like birthdays! Just glad that's not every day!"
Oh ok I thunked you said you ALWAYS had some carbs :scratch: 15g per day don't really count and unless yer taking it all at once as glucose syrup or sumthin wont really knock you out of keto :nono: Agin off the top of my head ... unless you fall off the keto wagon more than once in 2 weeks {I thinxz it was 10 days :scratch: } you should be on the right track :yes: I noes it depends on how badly you :fall: too but there wasn't many details in that study :nono:
Anywho as you likely noes some people go keto and :boom: no T2DM and their blood sugar response to the glucose test returns to nermal typically within a few months. Others not so much ... they are officially not "diabetic" but only because they don't eat any carbs. The return to nermal rate coincides withthe rejuvination of the beta cells as well as the body learning to NOT be insulin resistant no morez so there are multiple factors and the longer one is diabetic the slower the reversing. The thang is "some" never get any reversing :drama: and that's the tricky not well understood question :hmm2: My personal belief which can change without warning is that it's related to pentadecanoic acid {C15:0} :yes: Ok AND Heptadecanoic Acid {C17:0} but there's nary anythin on that one :sigh:
I need to :run: so the following wont flow so nicely ... just sayin :whistle:
Anywho I purchase 100mg capsules of Fatty15 {aka C15} and I mix it in Carlson cod liver oil ... plus a few other oil soluble thangs :whistle: ... :secret: D3 and E ... and take 5ml a day :yes: and I makes Dad take it Monday and Friday too :yes:
Pecorino has LARGE amounts of C15 and ~14g supposedly has between 100mg and 300mg depending on the :sheep: I personally have always purchased Costco pecorino because it's cheaper the Parm but now I just eat more :cheer: That said keep in mind that this C15 is in the less available triglyceride form vs the capsules. The problem with the capsule form is it's in capsule form and needs to dissolve in oil which is tricky with the bile salts and small intestine proclivities so dissolved in oil :yes: Also less important for keto people since they eat more oil generally :angel:
Also don't git caught up in pecorino :frantic: it's basically ANY goat or :sheep: :cheese: :thumbs:
"I wish I could print stuff like you! I am so jealous! and worse make stuff!"
:hello: :buttkick: you can I literally made my first coils by wrapping magnet wire around the bottom of an empty bottle of Costco brand Ghee ... it took FOREVER :gaah: and I made 7 coils that way :drama: Five for Dad's chair though that's been tweaked and upgrade from Four then to Five then six and now TEN :cheer: but 7 coils were hand made :horror: and I still use two of them inn my twin ring system :wiggle:
Anywho the coils are simple 22awg magnet wire, 95 turns around a 95mm core/ghee bottle use a 12v 5a transformer and a $10 USD pwm or $3 from China and yer basically in the zone :bliss:
EarthPulse :check: Pricey :faint: but yeah that's why I wanted to make my own. The gauss numbers alone are not really meaningful since a rare :earth: magnet can be more than 1000Gauss what you really want to noes is the "flux" ... think of gauss as pressure and flux as "flow" a doog analogy is a small high speed fan :windy: vs a LARGE fan at the same or lower speed :blowme: But it's hard to understand magnetic flux iffen yer not used to it :secret: Weber
"LOL I also have an epilator (I bet you are jealous now) :laugh: it is a lot better than waxing :eek: :uhoh: "
I have over 100 razors and literally thousands of razor blades AND straight razors PLUS I can sharpen thangs to stoopid sharp levelz 8)
Epilators are EVIL :basementcat: and I'm pretty sure they are a type of medieval torture device :yes:
:flyball:
Ozone water NOT Hydrogen water BUT I has the hydrogen water bottle AND made my own 8) but yeah didn't notice anythin now photobiomodulation ... um yeah it just goes on and ON AND ON :bliss: i gots a lot plus a 300w panel and saunas though not an ir sauna yet :darn:
Anywho this is the cheapest ~$12 16x14 inch {406x355mm} gel cushion on amazon that has a cover :wiggle:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/cushion01.jpg)
This is the input plug that connects to the 5 coils inside and the wires go through a 6mm grommet so you cannot accidentally rip it out :oz:
Below is the Honeycomb Gel Mat
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/cushion02.jpg)
And in the image below the coils are "Tuck" tapped {no not duct nor duck tape :nono: } onto a piece of yoga mat cut to shape. Oh and I'm using the Epoxy type of Tuck Tape so nuthin is coming off :club:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/cushion03.jpg)
That's basically it and then there's a connection to the PWM which powers and controls the thang and lets me vary the frequency :vibes: from 1 Hz to 150kHz ... Tech :nickel: ly I can also goes down to 0.1 Hz but there's a trick :oz:
Now back to the regularly scheduled :blah: :blah: :blah: :bliss:
"Yeah, I have been diet-controlled T2DM for about 40 years. I probably have about 15 g of carbs most days and do time-restricted eating, having 2 meals a day. I try not to do any metabolic swinging but I seem to fall down when celebrating with family, like birthdays! Just glad that's not every day!"
Oh ok I thunked you said you ALWAYS had some carbs :scratch: 15g per day don't really count and unless yer taking it all at once as glucose syrup or sumthin wont really knock you out of keto :nono: Agin off the top of my head ... unless you fall off the keto wagon more than once in 2 weeks {I thinxz it was 10 days :scratch: } you should be on the right track :yes: I noes it depends on how badly you :fall: too but there wasn't many details in that study :nono:
Anywho as you likely noes some people go keto and :boom: no T2DM and their blood sugar response to the glucose test returns to nermal typically within a few months. Others not so much ... they are officially not "diabetic" but only because they don't eat any carbs. The return to nermal rate coincides withthe rejuvination of the beta cells as well as the body learning to NOT be insulin resistant no morez so there are multiple factors and the longer one is diabetic the slower the reversing.

I'll has to add more later BUT I just wanted to mention "statins" are not completely without merit ... but really really close and I don't know about the other two but Norwitz is a speeshul case and lean mass hyper responders PLUS the keto thang.

Also a lot of people do not realize that a real carnivore diet means you git enough vitamin C :yes: but being on keto and having just that :wheee: bit of carbs means you need vitamin C either from doof or supplementation. There's a competition thang with that small amount of carbs and it beats out the vit.C :fist:

Behold the latest from the siguie brand pemf R&D department :cheer:
I callz it the Double Twin Wunderz :woohoo: or ya noes The Quad 8)
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/pemfquad.jpg)
Yes I noes I need to werk on wire management :whatever:
The important bit is where the Blue wires meet the Yellow the connection is made with a WAGO 221-2401 Lever Nut or in other wurdz a reusable clip thingy that is :electrocute: rated for mains voltage/amperage AND can be used to add/subtract rearrange coils :matt:
Here's the thang the PEMF cushion needs mo POWER :electrocute: :flex: ... more than my :wheee: twin coils can handle :drama: so to avoid accidentally plugging the Twin into the cushion power supply and they is all identical ... I just added 2 more coils in series and now :bliss:
But wait there's more :cheer: the twins were held together with a loop of velcro so I wouldn't mix up polarities BUT could still turn them over for that Helmholtz field configuration so I did the same with the new blue twins and then more velcro to hold them in the quad orientation.
Here's the thang ... this is now a PEMF mat/cushion without the cushy part :wiggle: BUT I can also velcro them together in a N->S orientation to double the POWER :vibes: or put all 4 in N->S->N->S->N->S->N->S and :boom: figuratively not literally :boom: ... 4 times the :sebiv: :yesss: or a long loop for legs or OR any configuration I wanna use :cheer:
Oh and it uses the same power source as the cushions :wiggle:
In other newses ...
Temp: 100.0 °F and rising :no:

"I wish I could print stuff like you! I am so jealous! and worse make stuff! "
Actually NOW it's really easy AND purty affordable :yes: Six-ish or seven :scratch: years agoes I gotted my first 3D printer an Ender 3 :wubsigh: It took an hour to put together another 3 or 4h to git thangs serviceable enough to be happy with thangs and about 2 weeks to fine tune it to the point where I could make screw threads that didn't :suck: Then about another month or two until "print-in-place" didn't :brick: eberythang.
Then on September 5th about a month agoes I gotted my latest aka 2nd 3D printer a Bambu Lab A1 Mini :wubsigh:
The point is I gotted an A1 mini 'cuz 3D printers "can" save you monies :yes: and for $200 it's an AWESOME "bed slinger" :yes: The best part is it auto levelz and does eberythang I used to does automagically :happydance: AND it's even perfectly calibrated :yesss:
Those project boxes I printed out cost anywherez from $4 to $25-ish from Amazon AND I wasn't even sure what sizes I'd need :dunno: What I threw together isn't even the final box :nono: there's no bottom :butt: 'cuz I'm still tweaking ffuts. I already noes the final one is gonna be about 10mm taller and the power IN and :vibes: OUT should be scooched back just a little. Now that I've used it for a while I need to design a magnetic cover :sebiv: 'cuz it's too frickin bright at night :gaah: Oh and I'm gonna add some weight to the base when I do print the final itteration 'cuz the thang is just too light :yes:
Also this isn't even the tech :nickel: hard ffuts :nono: so I just used tinkercad (https://www.tinkercad.com/) ... here the "pemf housing 2.0 " is what I'm using now and that ornate thang to the side of the box is the backing piece that I didn't put on :nono: The two thangs to the right are the "holes" for the PWM and switch in pemf housing 2.0. Since they are components I designed them separately so I can use them in other models AND "holes" are designs created to be subtracted from solids. In other wurdz the housing is a solid rectangle with a slightly smaller hole rectangle subtracted to create a hollow box. The component holes are then placed accordingly and subtracted from the box to create the housing model. Now just eXport the "STL" file and print. In about an hour you will have a project box with all of the holes pre-cut and all ya needs to does is put the components in place AND they all fit perfectly 8)
By the way to the left is sumthin called "tool" my fingers are too fat to access the fasteners for the plug ports :gaah: and it was too much trouble to figurez out where my thin pliers are :gaah: so I made and printed the tool in about 10 minutes :wiggle:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/tinker.png)
FYI: TinkerCad is a FREE web based cad system that requires no skillz :nono: ... just grab objects, resize and tweak and when you is done Export and send to yer printer :yesss:
Fer more tech :nickel: designs I use OpenSCAD :yes: it's also FREE but the learning curve is a :wheee: bit steeper.
Oh and take a look at thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/) ... eberythang there is FREE to download and you can print them on a 3D printer. There's also makerworld (https://makerworld.com/en) which is similar to Thingiverse but since I has a BambuLab printer it's even easier :muaha:
Srsly I can literally say print THIS from werk and it will print on my A1 mini at home :yesss: Oh and it comes with a built in video monitor so you can watch the progress from anywherez :bliss:
The point ... you can too print :carp: like me :thwack: AND make ffuts :yes: this isn't even hard :nono:
Oh and from a few posts back ...

... the nekkid system on the left is the homeless system {aka unhoused :rimshot: } ... it werks fine so ya don't even need anythin else or maybe use tuperware :dunno: Also the switch is optional you can just plugin the power supply to turn the thang on iffen you likes :yes:
Iffen you want a werking PEMF system better than the one you have now you could make it for less than $50 :yes: More importantly isn't yer son an :electrocute: ician :scratch: Tell him to make you one stat :buttkick:

Sorry, you're having a taxing week!
What merits do you think statins have? I can't think of any then to truck up your cq10 and reduce inflammation at low doses.
You want to look at Dr David Diamond he has spent the last 20-odd years looking into the research behind statins and published a few of his own papers! He had a personal story where his doctor thought he had familial hypercholesterolemia; which he found he didn't only very high total cholesterol.
Yes, they are finding many of the RDA's might not apply to keto or carnivore lifestyles. Yeah, glucose competes with vitamin C and from memory, the carbs win!
Yeah as I said I am more ketovore with little carbs my Vit C is ok but hubby was lower; but since his other blood markers improved. I feel it is still a win-win for him. However, he does have more carbs than I do since he has meds, and he takes them with a biscuit... and he eats bread. Lol and not the keto kind I can make! Where my carbs come from a few above-ground veggies and a few berries with protein with dinner! I love anything meat; where he will say the meat is tough! Even when I sous vide a good quality steak for hours! I often get steak that is hung for 21 days!
Lol, I think I have the same cushion!
Yeah, I could probably make a coil under direction!

"What merits do you think statins have? I can't think of any then to truck up your cq10 and reduce inflammation at low doses."
In the case of an "active" atheroma there is an opening in the artery where LDL can go IN and OUT so there is an equilibrium where more LDL in the blood stream translates to more LDL molekulez able to enter and be within the atheroma. The more/longer these molecules are in the atheroma the greater the chance of feeding the foam cell which in turn maintains and increases the inflammation and keeps the atheroma active.
Also I'm using the term "openning" but it's often just greater permeability at that point due to inflammation or arterial damage.
There are also lots of issues with individual statins so I cannot say across the board they ALL have issues but the greatest issue I have with statins is their effect on muscles :flex: Even iffen you can tolerate the side effects long term use tends towards reduced muskle strength and mass and in the worst cases this has been shown to be true for :heart: muskles :woe:
Oh and of course the math used to show their value :wall:
Yes, I agree in nearly ALL circumstances statins should be avoided simply because they do not help and the side effects creep me out BUT highly inflammed individuals with active atheromas should consider taking statins short term to reduce the foam cell load :yes: Statins :suck: but they do drop LDL cholesterol dang fast :horror: Most times no one needs this kind of drop BUT when you do statin :yes:
"Yes, they are finding many of the RDA's might not apply to keto or carnivore lifestyles. Yeah, glucose competes with vitamin C and from memory, the carbs win!"
Yup! :yes: and the reason I mention it is that some of the issues that people have with keto carnivore come from that :wheee: bit of carbs and thinking eberythang else is fine. Personally I think vit.C is better in Mega doses :yes: It wont help you overcome a cold/flu BUT your body needs/uses more when stressed in much the same way you need more B1 when consuming carbs. The bits 'n bobs the body wants/needs changes with diet and health. Anywho I think regardless eberyone should just take a multivitamin :wiggle:
Oh and Keto/Carnivore types should get Copper in their diets while vegans/shrubbery eaters should get Zinc. You should NEVER have zinc and copper together though unless it's a protein chelate 'cuz they will just brass out. Oh and one of the reasons carnivores feel better going plant based and vegetarians feel better going carnivore is this zinc/copper thang :yes: I use a copper stirrer in my tea :wiggle:
"...Even when I sous vide a good quality steak for hours..."
Um yeah ... cooking meat for hours only tenderizes when you are in the overdone range :therethere: OR yer talking days not hoours :therethere: Anywho personally I think steaks are better with a little chew :yes: fall off the bone gets old fast :unthumbs:
"Yeah, I could probably make a coil under direction!"
You need "directions" to wrap wire around a tube :roll:
:flyball:
Yeah it's purty trivial to make these thangs :yes: the stoopid high prices are absurd :faint:

The more/longer these molecules are in the atheroma the greater the chance of feeding the foam cell which in turn maintains and increases the inflammation and keeps the atheroma active.
Also I'm using the term "openning" but it's often just greater permeability at that point due to inflammation or arterial damage.
There are also lots of issues with individual statins so I cannot say across the board they ALL have issues but the greatest issue I have with statins is their effect on muscles :flex: Even iffen you can tolerate the side effects long term use tends towards reduced muskle strength and mass and in the worst cases this has been shown to be true for :heart: muskles :woe:
Oh and of course the math used to show their value :wall:
Yes, I agree in nearly ALL circumstances statins should be avoided simply because they do not help and the side effects creep me out BUT highly inflammed individuals with active atheromas should consider taking statins short term to reduce the foam cell load :yes: Statins :suck: but they do drop LDL cholesterol dang fast :horror: Most times no one needs this kind of drop BUT when you do statin :yes:
"Yes, they are finding many of the RDA's might not apply to keto or carnivore lifestyles. Yeah, glucose competes with vitamin C and from memory, the carbs win!"
Yup! :yes: and the reason I mention it is that some of the issues that people have with keto carnivore come from that :wheee: bit of carbs and thinking eberythang else is fine. Personally I think vit.C is better in Mega doses :yes: It wont help you overcome a cold/flu BUT your body needs/uses more when stressed in much the same way you need more B1 when consuming carbs. The bits 'n bobs the body wants/needs changes with diet and health. Anywho I think regardless eberyone should just take a multivitamin :wiggle:
Oh and Keto/Carnivore types should get Copper in their diets while vegans/shrubbery eaters should get Zinc. You should NEVER have zinc and copper together though unless it's a protein chelate 'cuz they will just brass out. Oh and one of the reasons carnivores feel better going plant based and vegetarians feel better going carnivore is this zinc/copper thang :yes: I use a copper stirrer in my tea :wiggle:
"...Even when I sous vide a good quality steak for hours..."
Um yeah ... cooking meat for hours only tenderizes when you are in the overdone range :therethere: OR yer talking days not hoours :therethere: Anywho personally I think steaks are better with a little chew :yes: fall off the bone gets old fast :unthumbs:
"Yeah, I could probably make a coil under direction!"
You need "directions" to wrap wire around a tube :roll:
:flyball:
Yeah it's purty trivial to make these thangs :yes: the stoopid high prices are absurd :faint:

:hi: Pandora and clan
:hi: GG
I'm still stuck at hubby powerwashing his leg! :scared: :woe: :gheart:
My daughter has those super slow healing shins, too. & she's famous for scratching spots with her toenails. :eek:
:sig: is in PEMFland! :happydance: Nice work. :righton:
And yes, the :sun: flares!!!!! :tinhat: :scream:
Pandora, I think that (and some really challenging astrological alignments) is influencing peoples...on top of the general tension in the political arena, the global unsettledness & now the increased tension from yet another wicked hurricane. :sigh: And plenty more I'm sure. That's crazy that they had to cancel the entire football season. :faint:
Here, I've said :bye: to my hummingbirds but the flowers, tomatoes, peepers & cukes still hang on. :happydance:
Mom is feeling oh so much better. She still ain't gonna change her diet much tho. :sigh: Seems nobody will. :crazyeyes:
B's officemate is off work now in the 3rd week due to GI issues (uncontrolled diabetes at the root) but it unwilling to do anything other than go from doctor to doctor.
Cousin Matthew is hasing his gallbladder removed on 11/1. :sigh: Zen Aunt & I added our cents (sense) but he, his mother & stepfather (the one with wicked pancreatitis & uncontrolled diabetes) made the call.
I believe here in the diabetes belt most peoples are gonna just die slowly whilst being painfully sick. :sigh:
It's totally out of my control...or even out of my sphere of influence tho so I just let it be. :vibes: :gheart:
I'm back at my daily meditation, yoga & bouncy bounce (mini tramp) as of late & boy oh boy I has so much more energy. :happydance: I just about tipped the :balance: when Mom was so sick & I pulled myself up by the :windy: bootstraps & :slu: ed myself back into prioritizing me.
Less online time. Less news. More :leisa: and :asiel: time = :balance: for me.

Remote control of blood sugar: Electromagnetic fields treat diabetes in animal models
Basically there's a connection between PEMF and UN-insulin-resisting but most articles are to hand wavey and didn't make sensicalz to me :nonono: I'm fairly sure there's a redox connection and it likely includes the liver and this paper from Iowa had some interesting tidbits :yes: There's also the more accurate paper in Cell Metabolism.
"The team also showed that exposure to such fields, approximately 100 times that of the Earth's, during sleep, reversed insulin resistance within three days of treatment."
The :earth: s field is ~0.5 Gauss and a hunert timez that is 50G or about what I'm shooting for with siguie brand PEMFerz :wiggle: Of course this is field strength NOT flux and it's the cha cha cha changeing flux :choir: that is important :yes:
Electromagnetic Fields Ameliorate Insulin Resistance and Hepatic Steatosis by Modulating Redox Homeostasis and SREBP-1c Expression in db/db Mice
Hepatic Steatosis is the tech :nickel: name for NAFLD :oz: and it's a paper by Chinese researchers and ~25% of their papers are full of :carp: BUT this one :check: ed the right boxes to be plausible. Oh and GSH is glutathione and GSSG is the disulfide and one of my theories about the whole shebang involves glutathion, redox the liver and pancrease so :boom:
Anywho this is why I thunked it's time to start siguie brand PEMF R&D :yes: that and the whole being Liver Man :superman: and the NAFLD ffuts becoming BIG newses :share:

I :wish: I could be a testee. :chuckle: But I don't :wish: for diabetes.
And I'd really really like to has a not so 'spensive system to use for all kinds of ffutses. I think it would benefit J acki infinitely. :yes:
And obliviously all the rest of usses.
And :yes: Mom is a follower. And they both eat everything I makes for them & think it delicious. At holidays & fambily meals now we make mashed :tater: 'my way' & they say they can't tell any difference. :rofl: I think their taste buds are gone, but :whatever:
My mashed :tater: are doog...with nutritional yeast, a bit of tofu 'sour cream', & almond milk ARE quite goodly but they don't taste at all like butter & milk. :hysterical:
But...Mom won't let me cook for her very much. :sigh: She says I has too much to does already.
So Hurricane Milton was not as vicious as he could have been. :gheart: But still there are lots & lots & lots of displaced peoples & even more damages still. I think I have a mild case of PTSD from what :zanna: went through. :sigh:
Speaking of :windy: I read an article recently about the extraordinarily large number of deaths within 5 years after having been through a major hurricane. There were numerous possible causes listed & a good portion of them were suicides. :candle:
But it hit me as I read it that Jodi just may have had mold or something else in her lungs from all the cleanup she did herself. :sigh:
She was already weakened from the brown recluse bite & then... inhalation of multiple toxic & harmful ffutses...
Combined with not seeing a doctor. Hardly ever. :gheart:
Anyway...guess it doesn't matter now. And truth is a pirate ninja mermaid kinda blonde :windy: was never meant to grow old. :hearts:

PEMF Housing 3.0
Oh and it's made from cheap PLA filament which is a hard quick 'n easy to print plastic BUT it's not doog with :sun: :egg: sposure or :heat: :nonono:
I :check: ed the thermalz and even at high load the ZK unit and wires never git hotter than 32°C {~90°F} which is fine for PLA :yes: So I'll use this unit until it borks then print it agin in sumthin called PETG which takes longer to print but is more :flex: and can handle :sun: and some harder :buttkick: s :yes: Oh and this PLA unit prints completely in abou 90minutes the PETG equivalent would need ~3h :wiggle:
"I :wish: I could be a testee. :chuckle: But I don't :wish: for diabetes. "
Yeah well actually Durtmomma would be the one who should has one :yes: She's basically pre-diabetic iffen not tech :nickel: ly diabetus enabled :whistle: Iffen you threw a CGM on her you could git some AWESOME afores 'n after data :thumbs:

Thang is iffen an overpriced low power device would be a benefit you should does a cost to benefit analysis :yes: Like GhostGhurl she paid a lot a LOT for her device and it's basically a 12V transformer coil with a ferrite core. Generally speaking this is not what you want for a whole body PEMF system BUT the ferrite coil shunts the magnetic flux :vibes: towards the center making it like a laser or atleast highly focused equivalent of my original twin ring.

There are lots of benefits :yes: but for the most part it's unasplainable as to how it werks :idunno: There are plenty of studies about the mechanisms that show thangs like Ca2+ being involved in some aspects BUT it don't asplain eberythang :nono: Like PEMF :bump: s nitric oxide production ... cool but how :scratch: PEMF also encourages autophagy as well as :bump: mitochondrial health and productivity AND mitophagy but agin ... how :scratch:

Last night was beautiful; clear with :sparkle: and....auroras! :rainbow: Strongest ones ever in this here parts. Lots of beautiful pictures taken from folks in this neck of the woods :D But it was :cold: and we had the first frost of the season. It's warmed a bit to 46F, but the nights...well, they be in the 30's.
Hurricane Milton done a number with the tornados, and there's still a lot of wreckage. Poor folks bein' hit like that with a one two punch. :( We have some people there, but we haven't heard from them since the hurricane landed and left.
Kaden has herniated a disc in his back, and will be going or scans. If it's too severe, he'll be medically discharged. He worked so hard for this, so this isn't the best news. But, he's doing good otherwise with everything.
Finally got the front part of the house gutters replaced, and it looks lots better. Gotta get the dang roof done, but it's gonna be mighty expensive, and I'm gonna be in debt for the rest of my life for that dang thing. :sigh: Oh well, the kids are okay with inheriting that.
I've begun eating fish agins, but otherwise no other stuffs like other meats or dairy. Feeling pretty good and get up 'n go every morning. :thumbs:

Heya you :happydance: :hug:
Yeah the Helene Milton double tap is rather harsh :sigh: Mommy nature sucks :buttkick: :fist:
Dang a herniated disc :horror: unless it was from an impact accident he prolly needs to choose sumthin else ... elsewise repetitive actions are really hard to avoid :sigh:
:vibes: :gheart: :sebiv:
Dang it you gotted to seez the Aurora :rainbow: :gaah: I gotted nuthin but :cloud: s :wall:
Also this week the comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS should be viewable with the nekkid eye in early evening :cheer: I gotted images of it earlier with my Seestar S-fiddy but it was pre- :sun: :run: :blush2:
Bummer about the roof :therethere: Ya noes roofing really isn't that hard :nono: Ok perchance doesing the whole thang is hard but I literally purchased a 33 feetz ladder just so I could patch mine nearly ebery year for decades :gaah: until I was ready for solar ... so worth it :wiggle:
:therethere:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) :yesss: now has some :cheese: :yes: :liplick: in particular Pecorino it has both pentadecanoic acid AND heptadecanoic acid {aka C15 & C17} and a doog addition to fishy oils :yes:
Also :cow: :burger:
:flyball:
K so where was we ...
Oh yeah C15 and "Fragility Syndrome " ... the asplination for the red blood :suck: cell issues and ferroptosis makes lots of sensicalz espeeshully related to diabetes but the claim is this all kinda occurs in the liver ... which I believe is mostly correct but as LiverMan :superman: I kinda feelz like I should point out it's prolly more likely starting in the spleen .... LiverMan's capable sidekick :flex: ... which is cross court on the left side of the body :yes:
Here's the thang the spleen is a highly underated and generally maligned and less well understood organ :drama: The thang is like the gallbladder iffen you :buttkick: the spleen the liver can take over :flex: But alas it's not the same :sigh:
Ya seez evolutionarily it makes no sensicalz to evolve multiple organs that do the same thang unless you need backup or invoke Bilateral Symmetry like for kidneys where you git more surface area with two small organs vs one big one plus the lose one and not die benefit :oz:
In the case of the Liver it already has :superman: regenerative properties {we need a wolverine or deadpool emoji :sigh: } so the spleen is literally an assistant { :secret: sidekick} doing ffuts so the liver doesn't has too BUT also has some additional effects particularly on immunity and blood :suck: filtering :yes: In particular those beginning their metabolic disease journey often start with an enlarged spleen prior to NAFLD.
There's also the common diabetic spleen enlargements as well as the effect :smokes: have on the spleen which as you might :egg: pect ALL bad :horror: and relates to kidney damage as well as hepatic injuries :no:
Anywho there's a thang noed as the liver-spleen axis and it's the concept of how the two werk together and "affect immunity, metabolism, and infection " or rather how they tellz the body to respond to infection like say covid :whistle:
FYI: the spleen pushes the antibodies into circulation AND coinkadinkally ... "The spleen plays a role in blood coagulation by stabilizing and expressing the coagulant activity of factor VIII" <= Google AI :whistle:
Also the Liver and Spleen are part of the "Portal Circulation System" which is the Highway to Heck the nutrient transport department of the body :yes: As you prolly guessed blood flows through the Spleen afores the Liver so a lot of thangs are pre-filtered by the spleen afores goesing to the Liver :angel:
Anywho it was sumthin that GhostGhurl mentioned about her cancer got me thinking :hmm2: Ya seez an enlarged spleen isn't just a diabetes thang it's also common in cases of lymphoma which gotted me amemberin diabetics have a significantly higher rate of lymphoma :horror:
K well I'd luv to does some minion testing but HR is already on my :butt: :fist: ... so here's the thang keto/carnivore diets have doog evidence for un-cancering ffuts and I'm purty sure it all boils down to oxidative stress there. Keto is also the original protocol for treating Type 1 diabetes 'cuz once upon a time you couldn't git insulin for injecting :nono: Also inerestingly keto appears to be a doog treatment for :brain: disorders like depression, schizophrenia and epilepsy to name a few ... though carnivore is a tad betterer :whistle:
Oh and getting the :brain: train back on track ... I'm pretty sure the ferroptosis begins in the spleen :yes: NOT the liver :nono: though it goes there and then pushes into the pnacreas :no:
So what's the point? Did I mention PEMF improves immunity :wiggle: I'm thinking about what is the minimum most beneficial coil system and placement :hmm2: Right now I'm thinking SIX coils :yes: 3 in seris and 2 series in prallel ... one series in front from the liver to the spleen and the second series in the back in a Helmholtz Field configuration :angel:
Also I've been playing with PEMF and my oxygen concentrator :matt: There's some doog info on PEMF and HBOT but alas I aint ready to fork over that much monies for a home hyperbaric oxygen chamber :gaah: That and I'd prolly blow up siguie manor :boom:
Unfortunately I has really doog circulation { :superman: nitric oxide levelz :sigh: } and I cannot even reliably test iffen my oxygen concentrator :bump: s anything 'cuz I'm always 99%+ SpO2 :gaah:
I need more borked minion test subjects :sigh:
Kale night :horror:
In other newses ...
Hailed :hail: as the GREATEST siguie brand :popcorn: dust ... siguie brand Spicy MSG Pickle Powder :cheer: :woohoo:
Srsly :yes: I makes picckle powder by dehydrating Costco butter pickles and it's tasty on :popcorn: But Dad had oodles of cucumberz and I pickled soooo many I was running out of room and they is siguie brand FireCracker pickles from Alton Brown's carrot recipe soooo I dehydrated them :wiggle: Only I was out of siguie brand dehdrated miso :drama: so I just added a few spoonulaz of MSG and :boom: siguie brand Spicy MSG Pickle Powder ... it's vastly better than my other ffuts which is also dang tasty :liplick:
Anywho I let the minions split the bottle afforez they left EARLY :fist:
I'll need to add some testing ingredients to the next batch :hmm2: :muaha:

Sig this made me laugh out loud: K well I'd luv to does some minion testing but HR is already on my :butt: :fist: ...
:spitcoffee:
I just don't understand why they don't want you using the minions as test subjects. :scratch: :bsl: :no:
Dang, if you were here Zen Aunt would let you test on her in any form or fashion. :chuckle: And she has plenty of things 'wrong', too. :chuckle: Like O2 levels that seems to stay around 92 or 93. She says it's normal for her. :wtf: :woe:
It's absolutely positively beautiful weather here. :bliss: But we gots the threat of frost tomorrow &/or Wednesday night plus guaranteed lows in the low 40s so I been cleaning up, pruning back, repotting in some cases, all the tropicals. Like my jasmines, fairy fan flowers, dragon wing begonias, potted hibiscus. They are just too pretty to be gone yet plus we're gonna overwinter as many as humanly possible so... :flower: :bliss: :rose:
I'm watering with the sprinkler now so as to give them a boost... :shera:
So things 'out there' are getting :wtf: :ftantic: -er but meanwhile I seem to be getting more :flowerom: and :shera: and :om:
Feeling really doog. Really busy cuz it's Birthday Season. Jacki on the 22nd, Butch on the 25th. And Mom's birthday got extended a couple weeks cuz she spent the actual day in the hopsickle. :yes:
Bassetbawl is back, too :happydance: Well preseason has started the actual first day is Jacki's bday. :cheer:
Bassetbawl has come to save us from the news. :hail: :yes: (Becuz none of really care about watching anything on TV, ever, B turns on news)

Low oxygen levelz can be nermal for older adults but implies age related degeneration, lung disease or at the very least anemia and or nasty medz :uhoh:

Oooooh Nick Norwitz of Oreo Statin fame just put out a GREAT youtube vide0 ...
Finally! How Ketosis Really Works. (https://youtu.be/uyq5qAPKTKg?si=fjIoZeSjbd7k8cDq) 7:47

... it's about this paper that came out in the Journal Nature in August :mat
QuoteAbstract:
Fasting is associated with a range of health benefits1,2,3,4,5,6. How fasting signals elicit changes in the proteome to establish metabolic programmes remains poorly understood. Here we show that hepatocytes selectively remodel the translatome while global translation is paradoxically downregulated during fasting7,8. We discover that phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (P-eIF4E) is induced during fasting. We show that P-eIF4E is responsible for controlling the translation of genes involved in lipid catabolism and the production of ketone bodies. Inhibiting P-eIF4E impairs ketogenesis in response to fasting and a ketogenic diet. P-eIF4E regulates those messenger RNAs through a specific translation regulatory element within their 5′ untranslated regions (5′ UTRs). Our findings reveal a new signalling property of fatty acids, which are elevated during fasting. We found that fatty acids bind and induce AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) kinase activity that in turn enhances the phosphorylation of MAP kinase-interacting protein kinase (MNK), the kinase that phosphorylates eIF4E. The AMPK–MNK–eIF4E axis controls ketogenesis, revealing a new lipid-mediated kinase signalling pathway that links ketogenesis to translation control. Certain types of cancer use ketone bodies as an energy source9,10 that may rely on P-eIF4E. Our findings reveal that on a ketogenic diet, treatment with eFT508 (also known as tomivosertib; a P-eIF4E inhibitor) restrains pancreatic tumour growth. Thus, our findings unveil a new fatty acid-induced signalling pathway that activates selective translation, which underlies ketogenesis and provides a tailored diet intervention therapy for cancer.

K this is the siguie pemf process (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/siguie_pemf.mp4) :wiggle:
It's NOT a DIY it's a what I does and what I thunked about and how I approach :carp: Essentially this is my learnin process ... I noes what I want and I noes what I gots and this is a mouse in a maze problem ... how does I git what I want from what I has AND what are the thangs I need to figure out AND what are the important bits and what aren't :nono:
The video goes in order of what to does but there is no contiguous asplination or story and I left out any transitions so it's just here :blah: :blah: there :blah: and done :blah: :blah: :oz:
Anywhow the point was to make the thang for Dad AND learn what I would want to focus on iffen I wanted to make many morez AND what I should tellz perople iffen they want to save THOUSANDS of Buckaroonies AND has a way more AWESOMER pemf than you can buy ... well for under $5k ... the Harmonix ffuts is purty amazin :wubsigh: and still out of my league ... fer now 8)
The thang otherz should unerstanz is it's NOT hard :nono: ... there are easier ways BUT you can spin two coilz by hand and buy a ZK-pp2k from Amazon for under $10 ... git some connectors >$10 and throw a twin or quad coil werken thang together in a weekend for ~$50 and it will be many times better than the ffuts you can buy iffen not as purty :angel:
Sumthin I recently figured out 2.1mm dc plugs generally are not rated high enough :sigh: I've ordered some 10A versions but in the future siguie brand MEGA-PEMF XX-ElebenTeen Thousand will be using 16awg twin stranded pure copper wire with aviation connectorz ALSO no more 3A weak :butt: switches :gaah:

:slowday:
Currently I has 2 siguie brand PEMF cushions and my tweakable Qwad which I tweaked by adding another coil makin it a Qwint :happydance: this is so I could use the 19.5V 12.3A transformer and run EBERYTHIN :happydance: ... tech :nickel: ly this can run 20 coils and will eventually goes to Dad but for now {or last night anyways} it's testing time so 15 coils total set to 30Hz :vibes: and I put on my :guns: Decibel Defense XL denoiser headset :angel:
K so 30Hz :sebiv: is supposedly nermal to :excited: but I totally :zzz: for 2.5 hours :faint:
Anywho, it was weird 'cuz when I woke up I felt like I was vibrating (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/jumpy.gif) Not wide awake or nuthin but not tired neether :nono: So I guess PEMF really does do sumthin for eberyone though my BP, SpO2, :heart: rate and eberythin was siguie brand nermal :yes: Ketone breath levelz were definitely elevated but I already noes that happens ... for me :yes:
As a general rule I always test thangs on me afores Dad ... tech :nickel: ly there are or 'can' be PEMF "side effects" espeeshully at higher intensities and durations. For the most part I thinxz the side effects are akin to a Herxheimer reaction ... basically as the body is :bump: ed in a positive direction nausea, headaches, etc. might be felt but so far NOPE nuthin though you can hear a very light buzzz :bee:
Anywho Dad's been unusually perky and energetic (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/jumpy.gif) and he's also noted that his allergies have died down and his eyesight has improved :thumbs: So time to :bump: the :electrocute: up on his system :flex:
Well Fryday kale night anyways :whistle: and then only iffen my 14 awg pure copper wire comes in ... he'd be miffed iffen his chair mysteriously bursts into flame (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) :whistle:

So you used your new Qtoys to become more like ME? :happydance: :pie:
:bzzzzzzzzzzzzz:
For realz. The vibrating...hearing the electrical sounds of the Universe... general :bliss:
:bsl:
I gotted :electrocute: (charged) up with sound bowl :fullmoon: meditations :om: & bathing in the light of la luna. :wubsigh:
Then I spent the morning in my closet. :chuckle: I keep mine & J's most-weared clothes in our walk-in & it had gotten totally & completely out of control :frantic: Not any morez. :happydance: And 2 kitchen size trash bags full got removed.
How are Dad's feetz? :gheart:
Riddle me this about feetz pleeze:
I've had callused feetz most of my life. Barefooted most of my life too til we gotted :bee:
Anyway...callouses on the outer baby toes & outside of forefoot (left, mainly) as well as callouses on big toez. :yes:
They've never been a problem until BAM! they is. :huh:
Why all of a sudden does they bother me?
And what can I does to fix them most quickly?
I've not been able to wear my Birkenstocks, nor even my Oofos Ooh La Las (for real, their name :rofl: ) for a couple months now. :sigh: I wear only Chucks or an old pair of flat-as-pancake hemp flip flops. Fortunately I has 3 pairs of super 8) & very comfy Chucks....black, green & red so I'ze still looc. :wiggle: But I really miss my Birkenstocks. :tantrum:
Oh & Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :bliss:

:doh: I fergetted to post the :moon:
(https://psifly.com/siguie/files/moon10172024.jpg)
I gotted this last night 'cuz tech :nickel: ly the :fullmoon: is today at 7:34pm :gaah:
"For realz. The vibrating...hearing the electrical sounds of the Universe... general :bliss: "
:hysterical: You so nufny when you try to :lbrain: yer :rbrain: nonsense :chuckle:
But alas nope :nono: :buttkick:
When you git into the higher :electrocute: power :flex: :vibes: thangs git more intense :vibes: :sparkle: :sebiv: espeeshully over longer periods :yes: It's noed as the PEMF tingle though it can also feelz like a very soft muskle massage. It's presumed that this is due to the combination of blood :suck: flow :bump: nerve stimulation as well as muskle NRG :bump: plus of course the nitric oxide and oxygen :bump:
It's like when I bundled the coils together to :bump: the :vibes: strength for Dad's arm and his fingers started twitching :wiggle: Oh and his feetz are fine and the :drama: ... mostly ... fergetted :yes: Though iffen there is a "next time " :horror: he literally sed I could does it :yes: though he did use the I couldn't does any worse pHrasing :drama:
Oh and I really am quite doog with toe knives :matt:
"I've had callused feetz most of my life. Barefooted most of my life too til we gotted :bee:
Anyway...callouses on the outer baby toes & outside of forefoot (left, mainly) as well as callouses on big toez. :yes:
They've never been a problem until BAM! they is. :huh:
Why all of a sudden does they bother me?"
SUDDENLY you gotted olde :therethere:
:muaha:
Previously the rate of callous growth and loss {exfoliation} was close enough that they ... mostly ... canceled out. The thang to amemeberz is that callouses for the most part are yer bodies response to friction/trauma and is a type of protective barrier :pillow: The problem now is you've run out of oil, protein and likely Zinc :therethere:
Srsly :yes: for the most part weight gain is more likely to generate callusing in general but on the flip side vegetationists and vegans espeeshully have thinner skin. Go ahead ask Mr.Google "why do vegans have thinner skin " ... it mostly comes down to a :cow: deficiency :therethere:
For realz you need way WAY more protein and the doog ffuts not that plant :carp:
Now the important :blah: :blah: ... calluses should NOT hurt :nono: iffen there is pain it means there's damage to the underlying tissue or nerves that the callus did not protect against OR there are cracks/fissures and :blob: s & :mushrooms: taking up residence :no:
"And what can I does to fix them most quickly?"
PEMF :yes: I kid you not :nono: Not only will it improve circulation which is a noed issue with yer legs :therethere: but it will also promote collagen formation and thicker not callused skin AND of course reduce pain and inflammation :angel:
That aside, :check: yer compression socks ... they may be too tight. Also look for some Gel Inserts and or feet ffuts 'cuz those are srsly doog :pillow: Back when I was figure skating I also used Mole Skin :oz:
Now here's the thang calluses Do NOT hurt :nonono: it's either damage from the trauma they was trying to prevent OR sumthin else BUT they can git too thick and there are different types and thangs to take into account. That said I literally slice mine off with a :superman: sharp knife then finish with a Microplane Colossal Foot File (https://amzn.to/4eLORx7) <= Amazon Link
YOUse can prolly just use the microplane :yes: 'cuz it's easy and best done on dry un-soaked skin. Using a knife or razor is best done on well soaked feetz and may has a :wheee: learnin curve :whistle:
Thang is there are different types of calluses for me the microplane is fine when the skin is very dry but like my hair :afro: and nails my skin grows fast and thick :wiggle:
Now I reiterate the :horn: IMPORTANT part ... calluses Do NOT hurt :nono: they are protectorz :pillow: Unless yers are overgrowded or have become cracked and or infected removing them will make the pain worserer :horror: So be sure and git some squishy gel ffuts :yes: Iffen they is just over growed cutting/shaving is fine :yes:
Also ask Mr.Google about Intractable Plantar Keratosis and what is a foot "corn" ... they is slightly speeshul cases and require slightly different protocols :horror:

In other newses ... I spun 2 new coils and replaced the Blue ones with the Orange ones. The Red ones are from my original Wunder Twinz system now The Qwad :oz: The Blue coils are better suited for mats and cushions 'cuz the wire connector lines are horizontal, which makes connecting other coils nearby easy when they is flat, the Qwad connector lines have a geometry more like a :balloon: which makes them easier to play with :wiggle:
The black bits are velcro strips that hold the coilz in place and keep the wires manageable. The nuf part is that each :balloon: has a loong tail and the connectors are them Wago thangs so I can add more, remove some or rearrange them from in series to parrallel or whatever I likes :bliss:
Iffen I add one more in series I can use them with the cushions in parallel and generate a 20 {4x5} coil system :superman: :muaha: 'cept the PWM can just barely handle 15 {3x5} :sigh: hence the H-bridge :yes: ... coming ... soon ...

Quote from: Google AIHow PEMF promotes autophagy
PEMF can activate autophagy by regulating the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) gene, which is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase that can activate autophagy in various tissues. PEMF can also promote autophagy by reducing the expression of AKT and mTOR genes.

:hello: The newer Chucks are vastly improved over the old models.
And amembers...pancake feetz. Fred Flinstone feetz :rofl: Except narrow. :yes:
And it only hurts when pressurized...like from the strap on my Birkenstocks of Oofos. :yes: Elsewise...enif. :wiggle:
I thunk I'd just 'softened' up since I no longer barefoot it like I did for years. :chuckle:
And age is not a reason. :nana: My mother wears pretty sandals that are flat as boards with no cushion or support & no feet problems at all. :nonono:
I'll fix them. :wiggle: I just found it odd that my old Birkenstocks in particular were like well-worn slippers & I loved them til :boom: one day I slipped my feetz in & they hurt. :huh: And my newer ones I've worn all over Nashville, Memphis Zoo, everywhere til again... :boom: not any more.
My body just seemed to ask for a change. :nickel:
And YES...you finally gets it!!!! When one vibrates at a higher frequency one literally vibrates under the skin. It's :vibes: , Dude. :p
We gots a work family day thingy tonight. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
At Discovery Park which is a science & history museum kinda place. But they gots the whole place just for us from 4:30-10 tonight.
We're just going for the door prizes. :hysterical: We've been to Discovery Park many a time & though it's super cool the first time, still inneresting the second, but after a few visits you kinda know what's what.
Then tomorrow a :birthday: dinger at Mom's for Jacki.

OK :yes: I thinxz I unerstanz now :cheer:
You just take a lot of info blend it up with :rbrain: :vibes: and poor out a lovely memo puree :woe:
Chucks new old :whatever: don't matter :nono: they is flat sole types which for flat feetz peoplez is fine :yes: but they comes with the issues of flat sole feetz wearAND as is so often the case NOT the point :nono: Same with durtmomma's feetz :yes: not relevant :buttkick:
You sed you'v ALWAYS had calluses :yes: and implied that 'now' they hurt when footwear X is worned. So either feetzwear Y is causing an issue OR yer feetz/skin/bonez/etc. have changed.
So iffen you HAS a callus that the Birks push against and causes pain the question is WHY 'cuz calluses themselves do not hurt :nono:
Since you mentioned a side pinky toe ... that's frequently from the formation of a ... wait for it ... pinky toe corn :cheer:
Here's the thang iffen you hasn't worn them Birks in a long LONG time perchance the callus has gone :bye: and the pain is a lack of callus :flex: Elsewise it's prolly a callus turned :basementcat: and is now a corn burrowing deep into yer foot like a nail :horror:

Chucks new old :whatever: don't matter :nono: they is flat sole types which for flat feetz peoplez is fine :yes: but they comes with the issues of flat sole feetz wearAND as is so often the case NOT the point :nono: Same with durtmomma's feetz :yes: not relevant :buttkick:
You sed you'v ALWAYS had calluses :yes: and implied that 'now' they hurt when footwear X is worned. So either feetzwear Y is causing an issue OR yer feetz/skin/bonez/etc. have changed.
So iffen you HAS a callus that the Birks push against and causes pain the question is WHY 'cuz calluses themselves do not hurt :nono:
Since you mentioned a side pinky toe ... that's frequently from the formation of a ... wait for it ... pinky toe corn :cheer:
Here's the thang iffen you hasn't worn them Birks in a long LONG time perchance the callus has gone :bye: and the pain is a lack of callus :flex: Elsewise it's prolly a callus turned :basementcat: and is now a corn burrowing deep into yer foot like a nail :horror:

:whatever:
I mean....
:thanks:
:bsl:
I thinks the whole foot thingy is just making me correct my walk. I've noticed that I walk on the outside of my feets & curl my pinky toes like I'm grabbing onto the :earth: As if I think I'ze gonna fall off.
:bsl:
So the Chucks (which are plenty wide at the toes for my feets to lie naturally) are helping me learn how to walk once again. :woe:
I also have one old pair of Altra zero drop shoes that I wear 'farming'. I loves them very much. :wubsigh:
But I'm also learning that I doesn't hafta hold on to the ground as I walk. :rofl:
:wiggle:
So guess what I did this morning?
:happydance:
Ok... I'll tellz ya. I filled out applications for J & I to volunteer at the NEW Ronald McDonald House being built in Jackson! :gstars:
Axshully, they're building a Hyatt hotel & the Ronald McDonald House will occupy the second floor of the hotel. 20 rooms, kitchen, lounge/living room & laundry room.
The Ronald McDonald Houses are super special places. :wub: We stayed in the ones in Cleveland & Akron many years ago & then J & I were volunteers at the house in Louisville. I am so excited that there is gonna be one in Jackson now. :cheer: It's gonna be an affiliate of the Memphis house.
They are all different. The one in Cleveland was a bit :uhoh: in a rough part of town (they've built a new one since) & was fully gated & had bars on the windows. The Akron house was a stand alone new build & was beautiful. LOTS of donated Amish furnishings.
The one in Louisville is downtown & the renovated old city buildings & made the interior quite homey & fabulous. The basement always felt haunted there tho. :ghost:
And now this one is gonna be IN a hotel. :cheer:
It will be open sometime late this year or early next. :popcorn:
I'd been looking for something for Jacki that she would enjoy. :yes: Twas sad that her arts program came to an end (nobody wanted to take on the responsibility any more).
And then Mom saw the story about this on the local newses &... Perfect! :beerme:

FYI: There are a lot a LOT of skin uses for scalpel blades :yes: but most will want a #10 or #14 blade though for dermaplaning I'd recommend a #10D aka the "Butter Blade "
Oh and "carbon" blades tend to be sharper and sturdier but can "snap" ... like when digging out a corn :uhoh: I prefer carbon blades BUT mostly stock stainless steel 'cuz they wont rust during storage :oz:
Also I mostly use toenail knives 'cuz they is SOLID :flex: and my favourite thin one should be doog for corns too though I hasn't used it for that :nono: Plus I can put a sharper edge on it than a scalpel :unthumbs: BUT scalpels are handy one or two use and :buttkick: blades :yes: but generally not as sharp as razor blades :nono:

St Jude's (based in Memphis :roll: ) is a cancer hopsickle for children that is free of charge for all! They have their own housing for families.
Ronald McDonald Houses are like hotels, but better, for families of kids who are IN hopsickles. :yes:
The RMH house usta be $12 a night. Dunno what it is now. But if you could not afford it, it was free!
And they have food (donated or cooked in-house meals as well as tons of snacks & drinks & sammich makings...all free) and they have laundry rooms & they also have everything people could possibly need iffin their child winds up in the hopsickle in a hurry... like toothbrushes, other toiletries, clothing, jackets....for reals, like a free store). They also help parents with anything that could possibly come up. Some of them even have sitting services for siblings. :Faint: They are "The House that Love Built". :yes:

There are a bazillion options but the main criteria are a wide toe box, thin/very flexible soul :ghost: and most importantly flat aka no arch support and zero rise as in the thickness at the toes is the same as the heel aka flat :oz:

:hello: Slow reader.
Did you not see that I said I has Altra zero drop shoes that I wears around the farm? They are the 'barefoot' or 'minimalist' shoes. :pie:
And amembers a few years back when I was wearing the hiking shoes with toes? I really :wub: bed them but haven't seen any in stores in recent years. I thunk they were a fad but I haven't looked online.
And really, the Chuck's are practically like the zero drop Altras. And very much like the barefoot flats. :p The toe box is not as wide but cuz I has long, narrow feetz it is plenty wide for me. :wiggle:
I'm just mourning not wearing my Birkenstocks. But I plan to be able to wears them again some day. :yes:
They was not cheap, either. :nonono:
Anyway... I'm doog with my flat hemp flip flops around the house. :matt: And since I've laid off the Birks my feetz are already much betterer. :yes: The change of shoes (away from Birkenstock's) has already helped change my foundation. :balance:
:horn: Energy report!! Last night was a fairly sleeplos one. :wtf: I was simply wide awake, but vibrating intensely in my feetz, ankles & lower legs. :wtf: :b: was flopping around like a :carp: out of water. :rofl:
And Swami....who rarely even comes in at night & when he does he sleeps in the kitchen....was IN BED with us. :huh: :faint:
He was on :b: 's pillow & Snoop Dogg was on the other side of :b: 's head. :scared: Swami & Snoop are the 2 who have fought to the death on multiple occasions & still don't like each other (after 5 years! :faint: ) but (mostly) tolerate one another now.
Quite ddo.
I also saw a LOT of roadkill whilst going to & fro Paris yesterday.
Wondering about a disturbance in the force. :scratch:
We had a really fun day yesterday tho. :rstars: J ack i has truly 'levelled up' in the past week or 2. She's sparkling again. :sparkle: Less anger & more going with the flow. :bliss2:

:woe: No no they are not :therethere: they are just "zero-rise" and they make it sound innovative callig it a "zero-rise platform" :wall: this tech :nickel: ly equivalent to a Geta aka Japanese wooden stilt shoes which are also "zero-rise" on a platform or 2 or 3 stilt thingies :chuckle:

SO ... :whatever: ...

But now a few are inerested enough to want to try the ffuts and are asking about what brands etcetera ... to which I sez :slap: just make one :buttkick:
Now two of them wear insulin pumps :muaha: and I really did consider offering them a siguie brand PEMF :pillow: but between their pumps and CGMs and :wheee: little :brain: s ... prolly not a great idea :whistle:
Anywho, I was a little surprised that not one thunked making one was possible for them :scratch: ... nermally I'd agree :yes: but just wrapping wire in a circle and counting doesn't seem that hard :dunno:
Making a lot a LOT of coilz is tedious and annoying :gaah: but I thunked one or two is simple enough :wiggle: ... Now mathing out the details yeah that can be annoying AND not eberyone wants or needs a full blowed PEMF body mat so I'm thinking that this weelendz project might be a simple single coil system :yes: and of course another siguie brand one take wunder video :wiggle:
Anywho 12V 5A power supply {$12}, ZK PWM {$9}, 4oz 24awg magnet wire {$12}, :electrocute: tape {$1}, 20awg silicone wire {~$10} so basically $40 overall for a start from :scratch: project :wiggle:
I only added the overpriced magnet wire 'cuz that's the cheapest usable grade :drama: and I already has eberythang else :oz: So a $12 weekend project :matt:
That said the thang should be about 100mm diameter {~4 inches} and produce theoretically "66 Gauss" though prolly closer to 60G or atleast that is what I'd :egg: spect for 22awg wire which is what I nermally use :wiggle: we'll see what I gits :oz:
Now the Bemer B.spot is $300 and roughly the same size but produces only 1 to 1.5G so this should be similar but 40 to 60 timez more powerful AND with greater range :superman: :secret: you would still need to buy their controler thingy :faint:
This would also be a doog size for small animulez like a :kitty: where you could hide it under a blanket or :pillow:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist:

Anywho, I was a little surprised that not one thunked making one was possible for them :scratch: ... nermally I'd agree :yes: but just wrapping wire in a circle and counting doesn't seem that hard :dunno:
Making a lot a LOT of coilz is tedious and annoying :gaah: but I thunked one or two is simple enough :wiggle: ... Now mathing out the details yeah that can be annoying AND not eberyone wants or needs a full blowed PEMF body mat so I'm thinking that this weelendz project might be a simple single coil system :yes: and of course another siguie brand one take wunder video :wiggle:
Anywho 12V 5A power supply {$12}, ZK PWM {$9}, 4oz 24awg magnet wire {$12}, :electrocute: tape {$1}, 20awg silicone wire {~$10} so basically $40 overall for a start from :scratch: project :wiggle:
I only added the overpriced magnet wire 'cuz that's the cheapest usable grade :drama: and I already has eberythang else :oz: So a $12 weekend project :matt:
That said the thang should be about 100mm diameter {~4 inches} and produce theoretically "66 Gauss" though prolly closer to 60G or atleast that is what I'd :egg: spect for 22awg wire which is what I nermally use :wiggle: we'll see what I gits :oz:
Now the Bemer B.spot is $300 and roughly the same size but produces only 1 to 1.5G so this should be similar but 40 to 60 timez more powerful AND with greater range :superman: :secret: you would still need to buy their controler thingy :faint:
This would also be a doog size for small animulez like a :kitty: where you could hide it under a blanket or :pillow:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist:
:sigh:

So why the :cheer: and :woohoo: while perhaps a smidge tech :nickel: and filled with :blah: :blah: about lubly kemikillz :wub: and biology :carp: and from the Abstract ...
So here's the thang IVD is the group term for wearing down the spinal discs including and often because of arthritis like in durtmomma's case.
Note that it is effective and they were doing the research at basically 4h per day using a 15Hz frequency and using Helmholtz coils though to be fair that was prolly 'cuz they wanted to :bump: the field strength on their weak :butt: chinese PEMF thang :whistle:
The thang that intrigues me about this study is that it shows that SIRT1 is involved ... the same as with Hydrogen Water :whistle: ... and more importantly AUTOPHAGY is in play :woohoo:
As mentioned sooooo many timez previously ... autophagy is ALWAYS on :yes: but it varies by tissue and metabolical state :om: While this still does not prove my belief it definitely supports the idea that PEMF :bump: s autophagy :yes:
That said the Liver is in or needs to be IN autophagy high gear more frequently than other tissues because it's involved in soooo muches :yes: So yeah I thinxz the liver should be a prime PEMF target followed by the thymus and pancreas :wiggle: Atleast when there is no other oblivious targets like say a degenerate

Quote from: Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyIntervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is regarded as a major contributor to low back pain (LBP), causing serious economic burden on individuals and society. Unfortunately, there are limited effective treatment for IVD degeneration. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) is an economical and effective physical therapy method, with reduced side-effects. It offers certain protection to a number of degenerative diseases. ...
... In this study, PEMF up-regulated extracellular matrix (ECM) related genes in degenerated nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. It also increased SIRT1 expression and promoted autophagy in degenerated NP cells. In contrast, the autophagy suppressor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) reversed the beneficial effect of PEMF on ECM production. ...

K...where wuz I? :missing:
:bsl:
Time is flying. :witchfly: Birthday week wore me out but then came the weekend & :run: :run:
And yes, :michafire: is lucky cuz I am done with it getting daylight at 7:30AM. :wtf:
It makes me sleep too late & makes it 10AM before it's warm enough for verandaing & by then I ain't got time to does it. :gaah:
And yes, we noes someone else who's pancreatitis was diagnosed in 03. :buttkick:
:yes: I wants a PEMF device that is simple, foolproof, & cheap. :chuckle: And can be used for everyone & everything! :wiggle:
Small order.
Zen Aunt just had an MRI & her back is quite similar to Mom's. :sigh: Not degenerated yet but in the degenerationing phase with bulging discs.
We goes to Nashville tomorrow. Amember, staying in the spooky hopsickle hotel on Halloween? :ghost: :scared: :uhoh: :bsl:
And his test is at 7AM Friday morning. :wiggle: We'll be home well before noon so the :cat: :cat: will just be locked inside (except Swami cuz he will just terrorize the rest & be miserable himself :chuckle: ). Swami will be fine outdoors as he has many shelters. Cookie gets to stay outside, too, cuz she will eat all the cat doof & surely have multiple 'accidents' cuz she's...well...Cookie. :sigh:
B had to does a fasting cholesterol test Saturday morning. :yes:
He just gotted the rseults & his
triglycerides were 474! :eek: :chuckle:
His total was 320 and the
LDL was 67
The doc wants him back on a statin stat. :no: Statin stat. :hysterical:
I tolded him to relax. The LDL is what the doc originally said was "all that really matters" & he wanted it below 70. :check:
I figure it's simply sugary starches. And :tater: s. He's been on a :tater: binge lately wanting a baked :tater: every day for lunch. :yes:
And he's been creeping up on the sugars to whereas he asked me to buy him candy for his desk & I said :nonono:
He eats oatmeal most every day but I'm sure he's putting plentiful maple syrup on it cuz I see how fast the quart gets empty. :yes:
Oh & he's been drinking a glass or 2 of :wine: most nights. I don't drink any at all any more cuz I can feel the inflammationism almost immediately. It's not worth it. :nonono:
Personally I don't think it's a big deal but I been urging him to rein in the sugar for the psoriasis' sake (it's fall & it's mildly flaring) but he's not been overly successful. This will be a better impetus. :check:
I advised him to tell his doc that he's gonna tweak his diet first & then re-test.
Friday's test results are gonna be inneresting for sure. I am a bit :uhoh: tho cuz I really want it to be astonishing! :gstars:
Sorry you gotta get shot :therethere: in a masklos place. :scared: :bsl:
You noes, when Mom was in the hopsickle nobody wore masks anywhere even though she was covid positive. :nonono:
One very pregnant nurse had a mask under her chin, like she knew she oughta, but never pulled it up.
It's :crazy:

The armadillos are continually rooting & making biggerer holes. Prolly cuz we've been watering & making the ground softer & buggier. :sigh: Mr Goggles said vinegar & water (would take too much), hot peeper (don't wanna do that to the cats), pungent herbs (they're rooting at the thai basil & lemon balm :nonono: ) or mothballs.
Mothballs have worked to keep Mom's multiple neighborhood cats & kittens ( :gaah: ) from making homes in her yard & on her front porch.
I hope the :rose: :rose: don't mind the competing scents. :rofl:

I had already decided we were done with this cardiologist after this test cuz he doesn't test for things other cardiac patients refer to such as apoB or CAC scores. Hell, I dpn't even know what a CAC score is. :woe: Yeah, I can looks it up.
But I think this dude functions by rote from 30 years ago. :sigh: No variation. No progression of knowledge. :sigh:
It's so hard around here. Hard to find doctors OR hair stylists who are up-to-date & knowledgeable.
Seriously...my last $60 haircut is so bad. :sigh: B wants me to go to Nashville for a haircut. :chuckle:
Anyway...that's the tradeoff & also the motivation to take care of ourselves. I still wouldn't wanna live in mega-population just so as to have modern day physicians. :nonono:
Gotta get busier... :run:
Not leaving til late afternoon cuz, really, there is absolutely nothing to does in a hopsickle hotel. :rofl: We could wear costumes & go scare patients. :no:

Oh but I am packing my medical ffutses cuz he prescribed a beta blocker for B. One 50mg metaprolol at 7pm. Another one at 6AM. Testing at 7AM. I remember him saying way back when that he'd like to prescribe a beta blocker for B but could not cuz his heartrate is so slow. According to the internet he oughta be alright but I am still a bit :uhoh: abouts it. At least we'll be super close to the ER if need be. :sigh:

:therethere: The beta blocker is prolly for anxiety :uhoh: in general :heart: patients git a tad nervous when doesing :heart: ffuts PLUS it helps provide the best FLOW data as in that's as much as is gonna go thru them arteries :yes:
For the most part apoB isn't relevant to B :nono: plus first you should calculate it to git an approximation THEN decide iffen you actually need the test. Also it's really only a thang for active atheromas OR those with high inflammatory markers like peoplez who does the :smokes:
In any event there are NO doog doktorz for B in any area :nono: he's a freak :therethere: fer realz though :yes:
Also I don't thinxz you unerstanz ... :chuckle: ... k putting on serious face :flex: ... when I said yer stoopid diets prolly saved him ...

The problem was :smokes: literally threw or more like created a calcium dagger in his :heart: ... it's not a definitive thang but he never had gooey :blob: infiltrated arteries :nono: ONLY calcified that's more long term :smokes: related and apoB is more important in those gooey :blob: cases :yes:
The issue now is he's getting older and using :wine: and carbs to stoke the inflammation :campfire:
Anywho there's NO doktorz gonna does what you want the way you want :nono: that's what patients have to advocate for :yes: Like CAC scores you literally didn't want to does it 'cuz you might has to pay for it :woe: I mean srsly they are generally the price of 2 haircuts :roll:

Thanks for the sensicalz. :righton: You're right :blush: there is no doctor who's gonna does what I am apposta does. :sigh:
I found a youtube dude with a channel called "Nutrition made simple" and he's an MD PhD so he embodies the best (or at least some) of both 'sides' of the unequal equation.
I'm learning. :sigh: :pie: :balance: once again. :wig: :gle: Tho I does quite well using my :woo: powers. :wedgie:
Anyway I doesn't think he has diabetes. But I does think we needs to twerk. :siguie: I mean tweak. :rofl:
Minimal sugars, low fat, low carb. Lots of greens. :arugula:
I may have affected his triglycerides (now that I understanz :ashamed: ) with his birthday cake. I thought I was making a healthy cake & by all accounts it was. It was also absolutely delicious & he ated most of it. It was oat flour, applesauce, banana, dates, raisins, walnuts & the assorted spices & baking additives. The recipe came from forksoverknives.com & it really, really is good. :yummy:
I was not considering the dried fruits (I've also made many whole wheat muffins with dried fruits) as 'bad'.
And yes, I noes there is no good or bad....in anything :namaste:
Unless it's spoilt. :bsl:
I also knew our diet was tilting :wig: long before. Amembers me saying I thunk I was insulin resistant? :eip:
And I'd been nagging :b: & :j: but they kept resisting & insisting we were 'fine'. The bloodwork said elsewise so now I gots their attention. :rofl:
Gonna get him an appointment with a provider we know for some more bloodwork & then she will order the cholesterol re-check in a few months. :yes: She's the triathlete, multiply medalled :faint: , and I know awhile back her triglyderides shot over 500 & she was stunned. She traced hers back to too much coconut oil & coconut period.
I'm still not so certain that unsaturated triglycerides are a 'bad' thing anyway. :dunno:
So it took longer than expected cuz they had a new protocol & it seems none of the blood :suck: ers knew how to use the new 18 gauge needles so they blew his veins 3X! :faint: He was almost out of viable locations when they finally got it. :woe:
Happy Caturday! :gstrs: Happy new :moon:

but at the very end it said:
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease.
:huh:
:rofl:
:uhoh: :cheer:
WHAT?
It did also say see complete cardiologist's report but that sentence is pretty clear...
no evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease. :faint:
He also got a liver panel back which I thunk might innerst :superman: Liverman!
AST 24 (17-59)
T BILI .4 (.2-1.3)
DBILI 0.0 (0.00-0.3)
ALK PHOS 81 (38-12)

So I already learnt that the body burns triglycerides as fuel during activity (or presumably....fasting :roll: ). :buttkick:
And I prefer my :brain: to be whole. :lbrain::vibes::sebiv::rbrain: thankyouverymuch. :buttkick:
Tis why athletes often load up on carbs before events.
Tis why we'd be behooved to walk or bike or bounce after dinger. Bouncing prolly not the best option. :rofl:
So obliviously you missed the post before yours. :roll: Half the memos you accuse me of dropping are actually just missed by youse. :nana: :rofl:
He's definitely NOT gonna take the statin tho cuz he fully knows how bad he felt when he was on the one. His hips...shoulders... and the doc denied it was that but the proof was in the stoppage. :check:
I also think he/we need more omega 3s. :yes: And he really really wants more tuna &/or salmon. Me, notasmuch, but I think his (& Jacki's body) needs it. :yes: Jacki loves fish & seafood of all kinds. :yes:
I was seriously :stars: :crazyeyes: at first but I can see clearly now ... :choir: :bliss:
Oh & :horn: Go Kamala!!! :secret: gonna be a landslide. :sparkle: :earth: :sparkle:
'Your' leader was giving a blow job to a microphone stand the other night at his rally. :sigh: He's truly not well...mentally or physically.

"BUT....did you STILL not sees the test results from last night? :woe: "
You owe me a :nickel: :buttkick: you posted that while I was diatribing :fist:
"No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease."
K that doesn't mean no calcifications :nono: BUT in general :woohoo: :yesss:
Yeah so wait on the cardiologist BUT he's an idiot, lazy or possibly the worst ... a mix of both :horror:
Basically NOW is a doog time to transition him from WTFPB to low carb high protein OR eberyonez favaourite keto { :secret: ketovore :yes: }.
Yeah and ignore the triglyceride numbers and cholesterol he's been on that shrubbery :carp: for far too long ... NOW he needs to restock his nutrient supply preferably without soooo many carbs.
The basic liver panel is fine and just shows it's in nermal parameters but "ALK PHOS 81 (38-12)" is a classic indicator for ... wait for it ... NAFLD :no: ... yeah basically fatty liver disease BUT not to the point of liver disfunction. This is the enzyme that does the dephosphorylating aka removing phosphate groups. The doog news is that ALT {aka alanine aminotransferase} is nermal 'cuz when this gits :bump: ed it's an indication of inflammation :horror: So overall not great and not horrible but purty much what you'd :egg: pect :yes:
K so ideally you/he will want a CAC score :yes: or some assurance that there's no calcium seeds in the arteries that might start growding more importantly a zero in the :heart: though tech :nickel: ly it's fine in the artery that gotted the new pipes 'cuz that one was clogged and has no blood flow so the decalcificationating isn't a bodies priority :nono:
Based on that iffen I was a doktor I'd transition him to a :cow: heavy diet and :bump: the :cheese: just not that :carp: :cheese: you used to git :unthumbs: Srsly :yes: Oh and no :wine: srsly alcohol now is just russian roulette with doof bullets :guns: :woe:
"So I already learnt that the body burns triglycerides as fuel during activity (or presumably....fasting :roll: ). :buttkick: "
:gaah: sorta but mostly :no: :wall:
The body uses triglycerides as fuel ONLY {ok 99.9992%} when you run out of glycogen AND insulin levelz drop. Basically YOU all NEVER burn triglycerides because you are carbivorez and have stockpiled oodles of glycogen backup in musklez :flex: and more importantly around the liver. Bruning triglycerides means you are in ketosis AND you've depleted your glycogen reserves AND your blood glucose is ... k it depends but generally below 90. For me it's between 70 and 90 but I thinxz around 85 is when my engine #2 kicks in. Oh and my low blood glucose score is below 50 but the stoopid meter borks at that level :gaah:
This is why I keep sezing to git into ketosis the first time generally requires fasting for 3 to 5 days OR just no carbs {less than 25g per day} for 2 to 3 weeks and longer for some. The thang is once you unerstanz how it all werks it's actually simple and easy :yes: I did it first time barely even trying :angel:
Anywho the point, yeah iffen B was in ketosis for a day there wouldn't be any problemos :nono: More importantly ZA and durtmomma would be muches improved and yeah you too :yes: J has always been perfect so she's fine :angel:
As for omega 3's um yeah you ALL almost certainly could use more and fish is fine but I recommend Carlson - Cod Liver Oil (https://amzn.to/40sXTL7) <= Amazon link ... I also like the fermented version but this is cheaper and what I've been using lately. I take 5mls per day and I tweak the composition with oil soluble nutrients like D3 and K2 and vit.E 'cuz that's how I tweak :siguie:
Gotta :run: M42 is in position and I has to werk tomorrow :wave: :run:
Oh afores I fergetz ... we gotted the (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) on Wednessfay and Thursday I noticed the classic golf ball arm bruise thang. Siguie brand PEMF for 10 min :vibes: and it was gone :faint: So on Kale Frydazed I asked Dad about his arm and he said it hurted in the morning the next day but SUDDENLY by noon the pain and :bump: vanished :huh: Dad's PEMF chair automagically fixeded him :vibes: :sofa: :sebiv: :woohoo: So I'm thinking perchance I need my own :yes:
Also agin afores I fergets take two ... :horn: B Congarats (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beer.gif) and (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/bdayparty.gif)
You owe me a :nickel: :buttkick: you posted that while I was diatribing :fist:
"No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease."
K that doesn't mean no calcifications :nono: BUT in general :woohoo: :yesss:
Yeah so wait on the cardiologist BUT he's an idiot, lazy or possibly the worst ... a mix of both :horror:
Basically NOW is a doog time to transition him from WTFPB to low carb high protein OR eberyonez favaourite keto { :secret: ketovore :yes: }.
Yeah and ignore the triglyceride numbers and cholesterol he's been on that shrubbery :carp: for far too long ... NOW he needs to restock his nutrient supply preferably without soooo many carbs.
The basic liver panel is fine and just shows it's in nermal parameters but "ALK PHOS 81 (38-12)" is a classic indicator for ... wait for it ... NAFLD :no: ... yeah basically fatty liver disease BUT not to the point of liver disfunction. This is the enzyme that does the dephosphorylating aka removing phosphate groups. The doog news is that ALT {aka alanine aminotransferase} is nermal 'cuz when this gits :bump: ed it's an indication of inflammation :horror: So overall not great and not horrible but purty much what you'd :egg: pect :yes:
K so ideally you/he will want a CAC score :yes: or some assurance that there's no calcium seeds in the arteries that might start growding more importantly a zero in the :heart: though tech :nickel: ly it's fine in the artery that gotted the new pipes 'cuz that one was clogged and has no blood flow so the decalcificationating isn't a bodies priority :nono:
Based on that iffen I was a doktor I'd transition him to a :cow: heavy diet and :bump: the :cheese: just not that :carp: :cheese: you used to git :unthumbs: Srsly :yes: Oh and no :wine: srsly alcohol now is just russian roulette with doof bullets :guns: :woe:
"So I already learnt that the body burns triglycerides as fuel during activity (or presumably....fasting :roll: ). :buttkick: "
:gaah: sorta but mostly :no: :wall:
The body uses triglycerides as fuel ONLY {ok 99.9992%} when you run out of glycogen AND insulin levelz drop. Basically YOU all NEVER burn triglycerides because you are carbivorez and have stockpiled oodles of glycogen backup in musklez :flex: and more importantly around the liver. Bruning triglycerides means you are in ketosis AND you've depleted your glycogen reserves AND your blood glucose is ... k it depends but generally below 90. For me it's between 70 and 90 but I thinxz around 85 is when my engine #2 kicks in. Oh and my low blood glucose score is below 50 but the stoopid meter borks at that level :gaah:

So we were just talking about a Caeser salad we all loved when we were on the Pogo diet. I said, "I don't think that would harm you or any of us now". :nonono:
It was romaine :duh: and the dressing was made with greek yogurt, lots of parmesan, a bit of anchovy paste or capers, lemon juice, garlic, salt & peeper I think. I'd hafta find the recipe again before I just did it. He would add a whole can of albacore to his...J & I split a can.
We ate that nearly every week.
And :b:'s doctor is overworked & burnt out. :sigh: I told B that he does everything by rote. 30 years ago rote. :sigh:
THIS cracked me up: Based on that iffen I was a doktor and I said out loud, "But you ARE a doktor! A double doktor at that!!: :hystericale:
So yes, we're feeling doog but also real curious to see what B's doc sez. I'd bet ya now that he still wants to put him back on a statin. :yes: :secret: the ROTE thingy... :sigh:
I had already shifted us to the lower carb vegetables. :yes: I've never really paid much attention to carbs. Always had to watch fats for Jacki, and read every label for msg (for Jacki :p ) and then oil. Thanks to the bloodwork I've learnt a lot about carbs & glycemic index & diabetes & the likes which is not a bad thing living here in the diabetes belt. :crazyeyes:

That's no Caeser :horror: the main ingredient should be a raw :egg: yolk :yes: and you are basically trying to create a parm :mayo: dressing with the lemon juice :matt: Anywho regardless :buttkick: the parm and replace it with Pecorino :yes: It's a :sheep: based cheese that contains pentadecanoic acid as well as hepta decanoic acid :thumbs: Ideally each of youse should has ~15g per day :yes:
Penta decanoic acid is also noed as Fatty15 or C15:0 it's the essential fatty acid told to be removed from the diet by the RDA and NIH basically fiddy years agoes when they said fat was bad. This now "deficit" is one of the many reasons for the :bump: in Insulin Resistance, cognitive issues and of course the diabetus :sofa:
FYI: You does noes that a 6oz can of tuna has less than half a gram of omega 3's right and even less when you pour off the liquid. In general there's less than 0.1g absorbed. Canned tuna is a doog source of protein AND better for omega 3's than walnuts or any of that plant based nonsense. That said iffen you is trying to use omega3's to lower triglycerides :woe: he would need to absorb 3500+mg per day AND at "best" could :egg: pect 20% to 30% lowering and most only see a little ober 10%. In other wurdz he'd still be "high" :hippy: and it's just treating the symptom not the cause :slap: also 35 to 40 cans of tuna is prolly more than even B would want to eat :horror:
"And :b:'s doctor is overworked & burnt out. :sigh: I told B that he does everything by rote. 30 years ago rote. :sigh: "
Amemberz doktorz aint psighentists :nono: they don't unerstanz how thangs werk they are simply told how thangs werk which aint the same :nono: They only treat the way they was taught to and are legally liable iffen they does anythin other than "suggest" alternatives.

QuoteSOLAR MAX IN THE SUN'S SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE: Solar physicists have long known that the two hemispheres of the sun don't always operate in sync. Right now, in fact, the sun's southern hemisphere is producing three times more sunspots than the north.

Another successful kale night :cheer:
Dad's cutting it close :uhoh: the veggie jail :tomatoe: s are nigh kaput :faint: and the :tomato: hut ones are very VERY Green :uhoh:
Other than that the :pie: :eip: were delicious :liplick: oh and I made a side of Trader Joe's pot stickers and a "curried" chicken thang. It was really more butter chicken than curried but dad no likey the spicy :sigh:
Yeah so I wanted to mention purty muches ALL of the health issues with people is a combination of two thangs "over nutrition" {aka eating too muches } and metabolic gridlock :yes:
A body is happy to deal with carbs and fats together :yes: the problem is carb processing ALWAYS comes first and iffen you eat carbs too frequently the fats never git utilized and engine #2 only eber runs on idle while #1 does EBERYTHANG :frantic:
Beleebz it or not that's actually ok :yes: in fact you can run solely on either engine iffen that's yer thang or as a necessity :yes:
The problems occur when you keep pushing fuel into an engine that neber gits a rest or proper maintenance ... aka autophagy :oz:
Anywho that's why metabolical switching looks like a doog option :yes: of course siguie brand seasonal switching is even betterer BUT one way or another a body should never be more than a day or two away from ketosis or atleast that's my thought :yes:
Finally, you should prolly keep B on some form of daily Nitric Oxide maintenance routine :yes: Actually my guess is anyone older than 10 prolly oughta be :yes: Yeah I noes I'm doog :bliss: off the charts is my nermal :oz: Srsly though keeping arteries elastic is kinda important :yes:
I'm also thinkin daily PEMFing is a doog idea ... nermally Dad slows down when it gits cold and dark but not no morez :run: and he's olde :faint:

K so where was we ...
As you noes I've played with photobiomodulation for years ... decades :whistle: ... and only for the last few months hunkered down with the PEMFing :vibes: One of the reasons for this is LEDs are a lot cheaper and easier to werk with compared to coils and :sebiv: but I've always been purty sure the effects and likely the mechanisms were similar :yes: SO ... :whatever: as is my wont I :check: ed for photobiomodulation {aka light therapy aka LLLT :secret: low level laser therapy } to see iffen any studies were doned comparing the two 'cuz I noes there are a lot MLMs trying to stack them together and claim :vibes: :vibes: is betterer :hmm2:
Anywho I found this 2024 review article ... Physical Treatments and Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39124800/) in the Journal of Clinical Medicine ... and here's a quote from the abstract ...
"... The majority of evidence in the literature supports LLLT as a physical therapy for androgenetic alopecia. However, other physical treatments, such as nonablative laser treatments, and multimodal approaches, such as PEMF-LLLT, seem to have the potential to be equally or more promising and merit further exploration."
Basically LLLT is considered top of the line treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia aka male pattern hair loss aka the most common de :afro: tizing thang :oz: BUT adding PEMF appears to :bump: the effectiveness :yes: Though PEMF with the circulatory :bump: already does the re- :afro: thang together LLLT-PEMF does even betterer :faint:
Anywho this suggests the two modalities are NOT the same :nono: they may be similar in many ways BUT they are stackable for better effects atleast for :afro:
In other Newses Research ... back in Feb. of 2024 in the International Journal of Molecular Science :wub: Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) Trigger Cell Death and Senescence in Cancer Cells (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38473720/) ... yeah yeah I noes I posted this back in October :whatever: ... it's really quite fascinating :yes: and they just coinkadinkally happenz to use a square wave {0.011T} 110Gauss system pulsing at 8Hz which I can asily does 8) Thang is they also use sumthin referred to as the Thomas' Pattern ... which is a sequence of frequencies from 6 to 25Hz generally 1 minute at each frequency AND this appears to be betterer and for a rather large line of breast cancer cells :yes:
"... The data collected showcase that PEMF application decreases the proliferation rate and viability of breast cancer cells while having the opposite effect on normal fibroblasts. Moreover, PEMF irradiation induces cell death and cellular senescence only in breast cancer cells without any effect in the non-cancerous cells. These findings suggest PEMF irradiation as a novel, non-invasive anti-cancer strategy that, when combined with senolytic drugs, may eliminate both cancer and the remaining senescent cells, while simultaneously avoiding the side effects of the current treatments."
So all together PEMF strengthens :flex: nermal cells while decreasing the rate {proliferation} of cancer cells and telling the cancer cells to die :guns: and or degrading them {senescence}. So :bump: healthy cells :buttkick: the bad ones and or :guns: :angel:
Anywho it reminded me me of what GhostGhurl sed about her PEMF likely took out her cancer :yes:

Kaden is in real trouble. He's on his way back on a medical discharge. I believe it's a TBI. He is stuttering, has tunnel vision, his limbs are tremoring, and his legs are very weak. He has had a couple seizures by all accounts. The only time he doesn't have the tremors, is when he is in deep sleep. His cognition is compromised. He forgot it was his birthday this past Sunday, and asked how old he was. It's just a mess right now. :bawling:
Sorry, not here much and I do thinkz of ya'll. :hug:

He forgot it was his birthday this past Sunday, and asked how old he was. It's just a mess right now. :bawling:
Sorry, not here much and I do thinkz of ya'll. :hug:
Omigosh! :hugs:
Please keep us posted.
I am sending all the Love & healing I can muster. :vibes: :gheart:
Is he home with you? Or in a hospital?
Glad you've all got a Buglet to help keep it together. Little ones can be godsends in times like this. :rotatingheart:
And now I know why Zanna's been knocking on my door lately. :windy: :hearts:

So sig, I gots... Pecorino, low carb veggies (already switched that).
We've not really changed much of anything yet except I've cut way back on the starchy doof. :candle: :tater:
I was really waiting on the cardiologist's report. The :missing: part of the report under the category of heart. :chuckle:
From the beginning his :heart: was perfectly fine tho.
But his soon-to-be-fired doctor STILL has not gotten back to him. :b: portalled on Monday & the nurse said as soon as the doctor reviewed she would message and call. He re-portalled yesterday & still...crickets. :chirpchirp:
I tolded him that was prolly doog swen cuz if they'd found anything bad they would have called to schedule a procedure right away. :sigh: I also feel the doc saw it & didn't know what to think so he put it on the back burner.
The test was a week ago today & the results were available pretty much immediately. No excuse.
And I'ze not worried about the triglycerides. Not actively trying to get 'good numbers'. :whatever:
Dang now i got 2 senior cats on me & can oly peck with left hand.
Laters. gotta hold cats. :rofl:

Mmmmm :pie: :eip:
Yeah so I figurez ya might takes the above wrong :drama:
"And I'ze not worried about the triglycerides. Not actively trying to get 'good numbers'. :whatever: "
So yeah triglycerides are even less important than cholesterol ... not sezing they is NEBER important I just cannot thinxz of anythin :scratch: That sed the point I was trying to make above was that it's not really about :tater: or no :tater: it's more about inflammation or no inflammation and for the carbovore impaired that comes down to the level of stored glycogen and the relative levelz of insulin resistance.
Without goesing over ALL of the k where was we points ... most metabolical issues start in Mr.Liver :superman: ... which also decides on triglyceride ffuts as well as insulin etc.That said glycogen around the liver is the start of a large number of problems 'cuz it's the last place the body wants to put the ffuts.
If ones diet generates more glycogen than is used, regardless of source eventually the body needs to find a way to store or discard it but storing around the liver is a last resort thang. This leads to numerous inflammatory issues :blah: :blah: and overtime insulin resistance too :yes:
Reducing starchy vegetation is prolly a doog thang but it's more important to reduce the overall carb intake to a level that allows stored glycogen to be reduced. Altering B's diet to more :cow: and oils before the liver has been :cleanse: d tends towards metabolical gridlock and a :bump: in inflammation. With psoriasis B's body tends to quickly reach an inflammed state THAT's why I'm sezing low carb or no carb :angel:
Ok I gots nebulae that need stalking :wave: :run:

Nebulae stalking. :rofl:
So we haven't added anything. :huh: Not yet anyway. Just thinking about it. :chuckle:
And...finally...he got the official radiological report via portal last night. No offishul word from the doctor tho still.
He had a CCTA. From Google A!: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and a contrast dye to create 3D images of the heart and blood vessels.
He read through the whole thing as I googled unfamiliar terms. :chuckle: It is quite complete. Going over every bits & pieces within the :heart: and surroundings. As we knew before the valves & heart itself are all perfectly fine.
Arteries...not so much. :sigh: I don't have the paper nearby but basically it seems that he's pretty much where he was 3 years ago. Calcified bits in 2 spots along the LAD, one at 25% the other at 26-49% which is a very large range. :huh: But I'm fairly certain that matches the prior assessment. And the big one...with healthy collaterals...was completely occluded tho they did say they saw spots of contrast within the occlusion. That one, it said, consisted of calcification AND globbiness (I forgot their terminology). I wondered if maybe that meant that some of the calcification is 'dissolving'?
He was pretty bummed out but I took it as good news cuz it has.not. progressed...and might even be a bit better.
And...he is symptomlos. :wiggle:
But his CAC score was something like 1679 (super duper high) which said, according to the report, that he has a 94% greater chance of coronary event than others his age. The high score was the combination of 4 total areas, including the totally blocked, defunct :laugh: area. Every other area was clear or had "minimal" plaque.
The doc is definitely gonna want a statin & from the bits I've read I think it's prolly warranted. It appears pravastatin may be the least harmful & less likely to cause muscle/joint aches & pains but I don't know if it's as effective? Simvastatin also. You know anybody who knows drugs? :pie:
Of course they prescribe mostly rosuvastatin & atorvastatin cuz...well...they are the most 'famous' & make everybody the most monies. But he's been on both of those & had real issues. The doc blew off his pains as 'aging' but the proof is in the pudding cuz he's had NO issues since stopping.
He's pulling up his catheterization results now so we'll compare. :book:

No read more :buttkick: and this time learn using the :lbrain: :wedgie:
Dang I wish ghostghurl was still hanging around :sigh:
K first that is doog data :thumbs: AND when compared to the earlier results there should be about a ~10% improvement calcification-wise AND remind him :thwack: he didn't want to does STRICT Dr.E :horror: and based solely on a siguie brand 2 point plot { :secret: woefully inaccurate } it should take 8-ish years at best with no cheating to reabsorb the calcifications. This is based on the Dr.E's protocol transitioning to Ornish. As in there's a doubling in time based on choosing Ornish traits vs Dr.E and there are Three essential traits so 2x2x2 = 23 = 8 ... I math doog and likes numberz :angel:
In any event I woulda been :egg: tremely surprised iffen his CAC score was Zero :faint: ALSO :horn: tellz him not to sweat the numbers he's a freak and the AI counts the calcification from the bypassed clog ... which don't really count :nono: BUT that's some really doog DOOG info :thumbs:
Oh and give B a :buttkick: from me :yes: this is doog and REAL results that he should be HAPPY with :slap:
That said afores going all statiny :woe: learn when and why one actually needs them ... 'cuz Apparently 1 me sezing it over and over don't mean nuthin for atleast 2 years :hmm:
Oh and yes the :blob: ffuts does mean reabsorption AND that's the info I've really REALLY wanted :yesss: that's actually an indicator of what is happening :cheer: His body wouldn't reabsorb nuthin without hitting certain :button: s which it did :cheer: just prolly not hard or long enough to make it a priority BUT mooving in the right direction :yes:
Oh and just to be clear that 94% of :heart: event includes the bypassed clog the locations of ALL the clogs and the premise that CAD is progressive AND that B is in the same category as all of the other cases producing the data set it uses.

The point ... B needs to be kept away from inflammatory doof and a doog doktor would does an inflammatory markers test ... I would guess ebery 6 months :yes:
Ya noes you maybe should ask GhostGhurl :yes: ... being me of course I noes ALL :mina: but she literally lives the anti-inflammatory life on account of her and her partner actually needing it to not die or lose body bits :uhoh: That and she's a nurse PLUS she noes about statins and why to sez :no:
In any event amemberz B has no indicators of CAD no morez :nono: ... just two dings that he should buff out :yes: Helathwise he just needs to keep inflammation looow while :bump: ing nutrition and keeping his blood :suck: flow mooving and arteries elasticizing :secret: NO

So in reading more I gotten that statins increase calcification tho supposedly keep the calcified bits from breaking off, I.e. they stabilize the plaque. :uhoh:
Is that the bit I'ze apposta git? :pie:
The initial readings was the party line about how they prevent heart attacks. :sigh:
He wasn't expecting it to be gone. But I think it's just that this was the first time he really looked at what's going on in detail.
His doc is exceptionally 'simple' in esplanationisms & :b: had never looked at the reports nor even the blood works from before.
But it's doog that he's learning. :wiggle: He was even watching videos of the :heart: and it's arterial system. :yes:
:thanks: I'll :buttkick: him & pass along the :yesss: es & ffuts.
In other swen...we're in the rainy season again. :umbrella: :eek: Crazy

Well it's a start :roll: there are many MANY more :brick: s like the apoB "bullet" :guns: vLDL yada yada ... ideally since the whole :heart: thang effects him 'n all he/you EBERYONE shoule unerstanz the whole shebang :horror:

Anywho there was an olde Dr.Boz video that asplained it purty doog :yes: but it was more why you should keto and why maybe you should still consider a statin BUT git off it as soon as you can kinda thang :scratch:

Ok Sig, I am willing, able & ready to keto-ize the family. Cuz it's all for one & one for all here. (tho J has always been allowed to 'cheat'. :chuckle: )
But I am conflicted. And confused. :crazyeyes:
In reading about WFPB keto it's heavy in nuts & nut butters, avocado & coconut & olive. All the things we've been told is 'bad'. (Yeah, I noes :p ) And the heavy on fats makes me nervous for Jacki. :stars:
Traditional keto is heavy in meat which I won't eat except maybe a bit of chicken now & then but I'd rather not.
B & J will eats any of it but again... Dr Esselstyn skeered us. :chuckle:
Vegetarian keto seems most amenable for us but :egg: , hard cheeses. dairy as in full-fat Greek yogurt. :wtf:
Help me understand how something supposedly deadly for :b: according to Essy is now perfectly fine to eats. :dunno:
What abouts the TMAO? :scratch:
Fwiw, I 'can' eat some fish, clams, shrimp (sometimes.... other times it gags me :chuckle: ) and occasionally chicken.
J loooves fish & seafood & can eat any of it.
B loves it all. :rofl:

:woe:
K first of all I'm suggesting you actually learn AND unerstanz what and espeeshully how these thangs werk THEN figurez out what YOUSE want or should has and tweak accordingly :yes: Also leave :j: out of this :buttkick: she's fine and can choose her own path :yes:
Here this is that video by Dr.Boz ...
Statins... what keto doctors don't tell you (https://youtu.be/By9GsjFBPtA?si=3bQ4qdLfCB-meMBc) <= youtube
It's ok not to like her :nana: AND not agree with eberythangz but the info she presents is kinda basic and is a doog overall asplination of how thangs werk. Just unerstanz it is skewed towards her keto belief ... but the actual biology 'n ffuts is Reader's Digest basic :woe:
Oh also the statin bit isn't important :nono: even though that's what she is addressing, what IS important is the how thangs werk and why a statin 'can' be appropriate.
As for taking the fambily on a keto trip :hippy: ... :woe: yer missing the point :sigh:
I am NOT a keto diet pusher :nono: ... no srsly :horn: metabolical switching amemberz :angel:
When I sez "keto" I'm usually talking about the metabolic state NOT the diet or lifestyle. Yes the diet/lifestyle can be very useful for some thangs :yes: but all I'm trying to git you to unerstanz :buttkick: :pullhair: is that people should run engine #2 periodically ... and yes for health reasons :matt:
That sed B is trending towards insulin resistance and is in the beginning stages of liver fat accumulation ... :check: the video from the 7:55 mark :yes: ... it's how he can has HIGH triglycerides :faint: and nermal or low cholesterol.
Oh and don't just skip around the video ... the :book: is lame but the info is correct and once you unerstanz what is happening and how thangs werk you can decide for yerself or B whether a statin is appropriate 'cuz done properly you will have an idea of what they do and why they should OR should not be taken :yes:
She breezes :windy: over the really important part and don't even mention the glycocalyx by name :fist: ... it's just slightly implied and is the key to eberythang but she mentions the body can handle some arterial infiltration but it's when lots goes through and :boom: foam cells but she doesn't sez that 'cuz it's a slighty higher level :sigh:
That sed ... don't focus on what medications to take OR what diet to try next :woe: instead you/he should focus on HOW the body heals :om: in particular the mechanism for uncalcifying arteries 'n ffuts. Then just choose the path that's right for youses to git there :yes:
For instance Dr.E's protocol ... the strict version ... it woulda coulda gotted B to CAC=Zero in about 18 months :gstars: thang is so coulda the carnivore diet which woulda :bean: much easier for B but while the eating woulda been more pleasant it also woulda :kilt: him on account of his original condition and time needed to transition. In other wurdz there was no path ... that I noes of :idunno: ... that woulda gotted him from his angina state to current :electrocute: :rimshot: health levelz other than Dr.E's protocol :angel:
You/he are now at another vantage point and can decide the next path or just continue ... there are advantages and disadvantages to eberythang and that's his/yer choice :oz:
That sed ... like I keep sezing ... :horn: ZA & durtmomma are the ones who would git the most benefit from a 2 week stay in ketotown :oz:
Now that yer starting to unerstanz the issue I has with statins fer all :gstars: thinxz about what it is doesing to durtmomma :uhoh: Also iffen ZA was taken one it's a noed thang for increasing shingling :no:
Srsly there are reasons to take them :yes: ... kinda like a tourniquet ... doog to has iffen needed but you want it off as soon as possible :horror:
"In reading about WFPB keto it's heavy in nuts & nut butters, avocado & coconut & olive. All the things we've been told is 'bad'. (Yeah, I noes :p ) And the heavy on fats makes me nervous for Jacki. :stars:

:woe: On the plus side yer correct :hi5: I don't thinxz you noes :carp: about keto :roll:
Stop reading about what other peoplez do :slap: pick a goal that can be reached AND identified and design a path that werks for you. Iffen there's no way there for all who need it then don't goes that way :buttkick:
Getting into ketosis is one thang and would be doog for the durtseesterz but B just needs low carb high protein and that's not even hard on the WTFPB :carp: The thang is it's like wandering off Dr.E's path sometimez easier is also a lot slower but unless yer in a rush that's not a problem :nono:
Speaking of problems ... kale night :no:

Statins... what keto doctors don't tell you (https://youtu.be/By9GsjFBPtA?si=3bQ4qdLfCB-meMBc) <= youtube
It's ok not to like her :nana: AND not agree with eberythangz but the info she presents is kinda basic and is a doog overall asplination of how thangs werk. Just unerstanz it is skewed towards her keto belief ... but the actual biology 'n ffuts is Reader's Digest basic :woe:
Oh also the statin bit isn't important :nono: even though that's what she is addressing, what IS important is the how thangs werk and why a statin 'can' be appropriate.
As for taking the fambily on a keto trip :hippy: ... :woe: yer missing the point :sigh:
I am NOT a keto diet pusher :nono: ... no srsly :horn: metabolical switching amemberz :angel:
When I sez "keto" I'm usually talking about the metabolic state NOT the diet or lifestyle. Yes the diet/lifestyle can be very useful for some thangs :yes: but all I'm trying to git you to unerstanz :buttkick: :pullhair: is that people should run engine #2 periodically ... and yes for health reasons :matt:
That sed B is trending towards insulin resistance and is in the beginning stages of liver fat accumulation ... :check: the video from the 7:55 mark :yes: ... it's how he can has HIGH triglycerides :faint: and nermal or low cholesterol.
Oh and don't just skip around the video ... the :book: is lame but the info is correct and once you unerstanz what is happening and how thangs werk you can decide for yerself or B whether a statin is appropriate 'cuz done properly you will have an idea of what they do and why they should OR should not be taken :yes:
She breezes :windy: over the really important part and don't even mention the glycocalyx by name :fist: ... it's just slightly implied and is the key to eberythang but she mentions the body can handle some arterial infiltration but it's when lots goes through and :boom: foam cells but she doesn't sez that 'cuz it's a slighty higher level :sigh:
That sed ... don't focus on what medications to take OR what diet to try next :woe: instead you/he should focus on HOW the body heals :om: in particular the mechanism for uncalcifying arteries 'n ffuts. Then just choose the path that's right for youses to git there :yes:
For instance Dr.E's protocol ... the strict version ... it woulda coulda gotted B to CAC=Zero in about 18 months :gstars: thang is so coulda the carnivore diet which woulda :bean: much easier for B but while the eating woulda been more pleasant it also woulda :kilt: him on account of his original condition and time needed to transition. In other wurdz there was no path ... that I noes of :idunno: ... that woulda gotted him from his angina state to current :electrocute: :rimshot: health levelz other than Dr.E's protocol :angel:
You/he are now at another vantage point and can decide the next path or just continue ... there are advantages and disadvantages to eberythang and that's his/yer choice :oz:
That sed ... like I keep sezing ... :horn: ZA & durtmomma are the ones who would git the most benefit from a 2 week stay in ketotown :oz:
Now that yer starting to unerstanz the issue I has with statins fer all :gstars: thinxz about what it is doesing to durtmomma :uhoh: Also iffen ZA was taken one it's a noed thang for increasing shingling :no:
Srsly there are reasons to take them :yes: ... kinda like a tourniquet ... doog to has iffen needed but you want it off as soon as possible :horror:
"In reading about WFPB keto it's heavy in nuts & nut butters, avocado & coconut & olive. All the things we've been told is 'bad'. (Yeah, I noes :p ) And the heavy on fats makes me nervous for Jacki. :stars:
Traditional keto is heavy in meat which I won't eat except maybe a bit of chicken now & then but I'd rather not."
:woe: On the plus side yer correct :hi5: I don't thinxz you noes :carp: about keto :roll:
Stop reading about what other peoplez do :slap: pick a goal that can be reached AND identified and design a path that werks for you. Iffen there's no way there for all who need it then don't goes that way :buttkick:
Getting into ketosis is one thang and would be doog for the durtseesterz but B just needs low carb high protein and that's not even hard on the WTFPB :carp: The thang is it's like wandering off Dr.E's path sometimez easier is also a lot slower but unless yer in a rush that's not a problem :nono:
Speaking of problems ... kale night :no:

K (for kale :pie: ) I never said I wanted to take us keto for life! :no: I already explained to the other 2 the importance of kick-starting the other engine & running it once in awhile. I've heard you say 2 weeks numerous times but I figured any dip into ketosis now & then is a doog thing. Switching. :yes: :whip:
But yes :sigh: I think I already said a few times that we are going low carb high protein. (but still wtfpb....mostly) For everyone's sake. I began moving us that way without them even knowing cuz I've got too much belly fat. :whatever: about weight. It's about jeans being tight. :buttkick:
Oh & I really don't think :b: could have stayed on Esselstyn super strict. :nonono: J & I did better than he did. He seriously looked like a starvation victim...malnourished... & had very little energy, wasted muscles & was always hungry no matter how much he ate.
J & I did not experience the same drastic results.
He is Kaerf. :check: That's why we been together so long. :wig: :gle:

I neber suggested you did :dunno:
" I've heard you say 2 weeks numerous times ..."
Yes :yes: :horn: for ZA and DurtMomma :gaah: ~2 weeks in ketosis corresponds to ~40% reduction in fat on Mr.Liver for those with fatty livers :yes: AND this amount correlates with vastly improved health markers and strong reductions in inflammatory markers. Basically 2 weeks IN ketosis ... not the getting there :nonono: ... that's when people start noticing the doog :vibes: and perchance should consider a :buttkick: of meds :whistle:
More importantly THEY are not shrubbists so the getting into keto 'can' be muches easier AND they are partial to large amounts of fried (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/fish.gif) ... that plus chicken wings and chicharrones are like keto health doof :yes:
"... I figured any dip into ketosis now & then is a doog thing. Switching. :yes: :whip: "
Yeah about that :roll: ... I does it for research porpoises :yes: ... there's a whole other whurled :earth: of research on it for health 'n ffuts which I haven't :blah: :blah: ed on here 'cuz youse haven't even dipped a toe in that pool :nono: and um it's a lot LOT more complicated :therethere:
That sed even a momentary drop into ketosis atleast means yer not storing glycogen around yer liver like a :squirrel: getting ready for :snowball:
There are lots of benefits to ketosis :yes: a big one being the short step over to autophagy :wwsd: but there are different levelz of keto and many levelz of autophagy AND the benefits depend on numerous factors from insulin levelz to ketone levelz and TIME not to mention sleep :zzz: factors protein levelz and nutritional resources including electrolyte :electrocute: levelz :bliss:
Ya seez THIS is why I'm so fascinated with keto :yes: there's just so muches to play with and unerstanz AND it happens to be in my bailiwick of inerests :cheer: PLUS there's my whole siguie brand season based diet system :cheer:
Oh here's an :egg: ample of siguie research ... when I wanted to test my Insulin Sensitivity using the 75g of glucose in solution test it didn't werk :bawling: 'cuz my starting {aka fasting level} was mid 60's :hippy: and my blood :suck: glucose barely went over 120 :nono: SO ... :whatever: I went mostly carnivore :cow: for a week ... 'cuz I already noes my glucose generated from protein gluconeogenesis keeps my blood glucose around 90's.
Anywho the point is I learned how to test my own insulin sensitivity 8)
Here's the thang too long on carb only makes one Insulin Resistant but too long in keto swings a body the other way meaning when the body is no longer used to getting carbs when it does git them SUDDENLY it pumps out too muches insulin and :faint:
I just wanted to noes how these thangs werk :matt: and Apparently 1 using minions is frowned upon :drama:
Oh yeah back to youse ... :whatever: ... um k now you should noes enough to make a remedially informed decision on B's statin ... you really should research more but like I sed ... it seems purty stoopid to me :whistle:

So I thunk autophagy was the Numero uno way to reverse calcificated bits. :pie:
And that's (partly) why I think it a doog idea to dip the family into keto. :yes:
Truly, J would benefit as well. :yes: And I noes... :whatever: (cuz I DOES read & surprisingly, I comprehend! :wedgie: ) there are numerous benefits.
My questions were only about the bestest way for us. We are really quite comfortable on WTFPB...mostly, Mostly plant-based not mostly comfortable. :p But it really feels like we all needs a boost. A kick-start. A knocking the rust off of Engine 2. :p
And yes I said feels. I noes I cannot ever work for you :no: but I can demonstrate to you that there is much value in intuition. :woo:
Would you beleeb his cardiologist's office STILL has not called? :wtf: I'm thinking maybe they are trying to ditch the freak patient...the one that's not gonna take the statin and de-medicated without permission. :rofl: Thing is, they don't understand that we know that we hired them. They works for us, not the other way around. They are so accustomed to being authoritarian & having patients comply for fear of dying.
But yes he's fully decided no to the statin. He's finally edumacating himself. :hayseed:
Anyway... :b: now calls me the family dietician & tells me that he will follow my lead. :uhoh: :rofl:
Even J (and Mom! :faint: ) seemed to understand the benefits of engaging Engine 2. :yes:
It's just gonna be a tricky thing for mes to figure out here. But not impossible. :nonono:
K, details aside if I keep us under 40g carbs a day will that (likely, I know eeerbody's different) put us into ketosis within a couple days? Or does we need to go lower?
:broccoli:

"So I thunk autophagy was the Numero uno way to reverse calcificated bits. :pie: "
Autophagy is just the broad term used to describe some of the bodies recycling programs. It's like saying you need an Automobile to recycle all the :carp: in yer yard :roll: Autophagy is NOT one thang :nono: nor is it A mechanism AND there are multiple types of calcifications with different causes and requirements for removal ... no credit for that answer :buttkick:
"Truly, J would benefit as well. :yes: And I noes... :whatever: (cuz I DOES read & surprisingly, I comprehend! :wedgie: ) there are numerous benefits."
Um are you talking about autophagy or ketosis now? :scratch: 'cuz as :buttkick: ed previously they are not the same thang ... you can has either one without the other it just happens that ... fer those who noes what they is doesing autophagy is easy to git to from ketotown :angel: Also what is it you thinxz J needz :scratch:

Yes, and that's why I keep sezing that for YOUSEs it will be very difficult and I suggested that vegan ketoer for a guide and you thunked she used too much oil :woe: For the durt seesterz it could be done quite easily :angel: For youses :huh: engine #2 runs on oil ... ya noes one of the key tenents of Dr.E's protocol that you not eat :whistle:
"And yes I said feels. I noes I cannot ever work for you :no: but I can demonstrate to you that there is much value in intuition. :woo: "
I noes intuition has value :yes: but ONLY when there isn't enough information to make a :lbrain: :logic: based decision otherwise. Currently :electrocute: :rimshot: I'm still collecting on woned lunches from the election :hysterical: AND I made a quick 17% on the stock market :yesss:

Yup :yes: there's no need really ... you may have hired him but you don't pay him and iffen you isn't compliant you don't make his life any easier :nono: Plus iffen you moove to someone else it's not like there aren't more patients ready to take yer spot.

:woe: ouch :wall:
Iffen you ate nuthin {water fast} for 3 to 5 days ... most ... people begin to produce ketones but eberyone is different and some need to fast for 2 weeks or more.
That said the point about ketosis is it is a metabolic state that can be measured. Iffen yer just counting carbs it's just a carb based diet with some self determined limit of carbs.
Iffen all you want to does is lose some weight and defat B's liver a low carb diet is fine :yes:

K so where was we ...
So here's the thang blood :suck: ketones are typically measured in units of mmol/L and the typical scale is from 0 {aka no ketones} to 10+ and the PLUS just means yer already in ketoacidosis and need to be in a hopsickle stat :frantic:
For the most part "nutritional" ketosis is anything above 0 and up to ~3.5 though that number can be higher like up to 5-ish for post workout and up to 8-ish iffen you is srsly in starvation mode :horror:
For the most part people who want to remain in ketosis for a few days to foreber shoot to maintain that 2 to 3.5 range. The benefits are profound particularly with prolonged ketosis and many who suffer from epilepsy, dementia and or depression are helped as overtime the levelz of BHB {β-hydroxybuterate} saturate the :brain: and can act as a non-glucose energy source :electrocute: as well as bind to the same receptors as GHB to reduce feelings of anxiety.
As long as you are healthy { :secret: not diabetic} ketosis vs ketoacidosis isn't really a thang since ketoacidosis is due to dysregulated pancreatic β-cells. Iffen you is diabetic then some caution is needed when one begins but that should be true with any diet as a diabetic :whistle:
Now here's the thang there is a HUGE number of benefits from being IN ketosis :yes: some of them are instant :boom: while others require time while othererz require higher concentrations :flex: The body can use either glucose or oil {ketones} as fuel but most people have only ever used one so their bodies are not "adapted" to using the other. So in addition to the time needed for some benefits more time may be needed for engine #2 to warm up :angel:
The main thang to note is that engine #2 will not turn on while there is still fuel to run engine #1 ... so the first time someone goes into ketosis requires the vast majority of glycogen stores ... particularly that around the liver ... to be used up first. Second ones blood :suck: glucose needs to drop low enough for the body to turn on engine #2.
How one goes about depleting those initial stores of glycogen AND how quickly plays a big role in any negative side effects :horror: Iffen you use fasting to git into ketosis quickly you will likely :egg: sperience the keto flu :cs: and other negative effects. The majority of this is due to the vast quantity of water being removed ... glycogen holds onto a lot of water ... and the subsequent changes in the bodies electrolytes :electrocute:
Anywho there are doog ways and not so doog ways to git into ketosis :yes:
Dang you Thursdazed :fist:

We been busy getting Thanksgiving groceries (going again tomorrow :sigh: ) as I keep reminding Mom there are only 5 of us but she still is gonna make me cook for 25! :faint: Seriously, first we was gonna cancel the 1970s asparagus casserole (canned asparagus, cream of mushroom soup, saltines, hard boiled egg & processed cheese doof...Velveeta or wrapped American slices) :yucky: and then...SUDDENLY...she grabs a whole case (12 cans) of canned asparagus! :woe:
And...we been cleaning up around here. Inside & outside. Gradually moving more of the outside in. :scared:
We have not frosted yet but there is a doog chance tomorrow. :shiver: We gots a mean north wind :blowme: and 45 degrees today.
Diet-wise I just cannot does the oil. :sigh: My intuition/conscience/past experiences sez :no:
I cannot feed heavy oils of fats to either J or B. For different reasons. It's been 4 years since J had a full-blown pancreatic attack & once a person lives through one of those with her one does everything in their power to help her avoid it. It's explosive, non-stop diarrhea & vomiting & she is unable to control nor tend to either by herself. :uhoh:
Besides... I've learnt how to cook without it. :drama: I even make a pretty doog oillos stir fry.
And we no longer miss the taste of butter in anything.
We just need more exercise :yes: and less sugars/empty calories. :yes: Just becuz cakes are quite yummy with applesauce in place of oil & 7-minute sugar-only frosting doesn't mean we needs to eat them. :rofl:
I texted Pandora about Kaden a few days ago & gotted just :heart: emojis in return. I keep thinking abouts them. :hearts:
And :michafire: lately. :hearts: I noes Germany is going through some serious governmental upheavals as well right now.
:earthhug:
'Your' guy is loading up to burn the whole place down. :sigh: Just like he said he was gonna does. :sigh: :sigh:

Sydenham Chorea AKA St Vitus Dance. :bawling: It fits. Extremely rare to onset in adults but not unheard of.
Bugleboo is doing really well, and a sweet lil' guy. :heart:
We are getting snow as I type. Not a lot I don't think. Maybe up to 3", but no more than that.
I have a hitch in my get up today, from moving wrong with the glass 2 gallon container we keep filtered water in. Otherwise, I'm doing good.
This administration is the pits. The nominations, and the agenda is horrifying. Not a good thing. Not at all.
Gots to go, the Bugleboo calls...:run:

"Sydenham Chorea AKA St Vitus Dance. :bawling: It fits. Extremely rare to onset in adults but not unheard of."
:carp: No, it's not "uncommon" or at least it's more common now ... it's actually a secondary effect from covid19.
One of the controversial arguments about the covid vaccine is a latent tendency towards activating autoimmune disorders. Rheumatic Fevers such as Sydenham Chorea are a side effect with subsequent exposure to the various bacteria. The thang is the uptick in such autoimmune disorders also occurred in regions that were not given the vaccine. So now in some way the actual covid virus{es} appear to be to blame and the autoimmune thang may also be a causative element in long covid.
But still ... :hug: :heart: :vibes: :sparkle:

Wow :faint: that's some serious :rain:
But I made it back to siguie manor :bliss:
The mountain roads are now closing so I gotted back just in time :yesss:
I was going to go on a long :blah: :blah: but basically all that's really understood is that covid causes immune dysfunction. To some extent the vaccine can do the same but to a far lesser extent. This just means whatever is occurring involves the spike proteins in some way and how a bodies immune system responds to them.
These dysfunctions can be anything from white clots like what effected durtmomma to increased numbers of diabetics, increased numbers of autoimmune diseases popping up :therethere: to what is now being called "turbo cancers" :horror:
Right now inquiry and research is slow because too many are trying to blame the vaccines. The vaccine likely saved millions but also put those saved at risk of unasplained immune dysfunction. The other thang to amemberz is that covid became more infectious than measles and people would have and did contract many varieties even having been vaccinated.
That sed as LiverMan :superman: I beleebz the problem has to does with the way covid effects the liver :yes: As mentioned previously the liver tells the thymus what to not attack or sometimes STOP :guns: attacking X :angel:
Anywho :offtobed:

Oh wow...my thought when I learned the tentative diagnosis was, "I wonder if this is because of the covid he had." So, yeah, I agree with you. :eek: We shall see how this goes. Its a convoluted game with these guys in terms of care and so forth.
We did get our snow, just as I thought, and it wasn't more than a couple inches.

Unlike some durt peoplez who will goes unnamed you can :lbrain: when ya wants too :whistle: So I tries to void sezing does this or that but sydenham's chorea sounds like an easily misdiagnosed disease ... I've only just had a quick look :ashamed: ... but it looks like one of those diseses defined by ruling out eberythang else then saying it's THIS 'cuz there's nuthin else and there's a positive on a test that is generally pretty common anyways :dunno:
From a first glance it sounds like any of a dozen neurological disorders just with a positive antibody test for Streptococcus :blob: which is incredibly common.
Amemberz whesha ... it was way back over at cr1 she was diagnosed with RA but after a decade or so it was determined to be a cold blood protein allergy. Flow chart diagnosing is stoopid :unthumbs: atleast for thangs at the end of the chart :therethere:
Here's an article from Yale Medical ... it's more about long covid but it's not technical :nono: and has the basics :yes:
The Long COVID Puzzle: Autoimmunity, Inflammation, and Other Possible Causes (https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/the-long-covid-puzzle-autoimmunity-inflammation-and-other-possible-causes)
In any event my guess is that instead of Sydenham Chorea it's an adult form of Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) (https://www.cdc.gov/mis/about/index.html) with the "inflamed" area causing the symptoms. It may still be an autoimmune issue :horror: but these covid based problems have a tendency to resolve slowly as long as you don't get covid agin or the booster (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nurse.gif) ... oh and don't commit to a foreber subscription of skeery medications :horror:

Thank you, Sig. :thumbs:
He just turned 30. Two years ago, at the age of 28, he contracted a serious bout of covid (vaccinated) and it affected his heart. He had a heart attack, and thankfully it has healed. There is no damage to the heart muscle, but it was a scary experience to say the least. :uhoh:
Fast forward to now; At the time of onset, he had a history of a severe fall during a ruck march in which he messed up his back, and also tore the heck out of his finger, losing the nail and part of the finger in the process. The wound was dressed, etc. and no antibiotic was given at the time. He then contracted bronchitis, and went through the gas shack with it. It was not long, about a week after this that he had onset of severe symptoms of tremoring, muscle weakness, stuttering, visual tunneling, etc. After a scan and other tests, there was a mild elevation of a signature protein, but no additional testing was done. They initially leaned towards conversion disorder. He then was seen by an infection disease physician who asked them, "Hey didn't you test for strep when you saw that elevated protein?" No they hadn't. So they did, and the level of type A strep was 1100. As you know, the normal value is generally under 500. I truly believe the severe finger injury that was left untreated with antibiotics is the source of this. He is now on an antibiotic. But I don't think they've shoved anything else at him. It looks like he will be home by Dec 20th if we're lucky. Medically discharged and now disabled. :bawling: I just want him home and seeing a better caliber of medical staff than what he is experiencing there.
Bugleboo is thriving. He is working with words, but when we try to get him to repeat them, he levels this look at us as if to say, "I'm not your dancing bear." :laugh: He is fascinated by numbers. He is in the making the tallest tower in the world phase with his blocks, and he likes patterns of colors and shapes. It's so cool watching him take in and experiment with the world around him. :rainbow: He is just past his 21 month mark. He is already in 3T size. Kid is gonna be tall.
We're in winter, so to speak, but it's still very mild. I'm thinking if I put in a garden next spring, it will be able to handle some longer grow times, and I can add some veggies that I wouldn't normally try to grow. We are having trouble with wild fires here. Something that was never an issue to speak of in the past. Back in September we had 7 of them in a weeks time. One of them was pretty large for us, taking out 24 acres in Tioga county. Not by any means as large as the one in Orange county that took out 5300 acres. Although we get our share of small brush fires, their frequency and size is has definitely increased this past season.
So, off I :run: again to start the day... :bye:

:huh: Wow :faint:
Yeah it was likley the poorly treated wound :therethere: but it sounds like his body's immune system was already :thwack: & :buttkick: ed to the point it was running on fumes :therethere:
I'd recommend getting a vit.D blood level :check: too :yes: OK tech :nickel: ly I thinxz eberyone should has that :check: ed AND it should be a nermal part of blood werks :suck:
I noes you've been busy attending to Bugleboy :rimshot: and um other issues :whistle: so may have missed my lengthy :blah: :blah: :blah: discourses on D levelz :drama: but in short vit.D levelz have a big impact on immunity and most people thinxz they can git enough from Mr. :sun: or just taking D3 supplements but that's wrong :nono:
Long story very slightly shorter ... D3 is oil soluble and most people do not eat enough oil WITH D3 to absorb muches even iffen the D3 is in oil. Secondly D3 needs to be converted by Mr.Liver to an "active" form which is then converted by the kidnieys into what the body uses BUT even more importantly Mr.Liver is unhappy in 70%+ adults due to diet :horror:
This is partly siguie brand theory but the reason so many people are deficient in D is Insulin Resistance and NAFLD {NonAlcaholic Fatty Liver Disease} :yes:
Anywho ask Mr.Google "vitamin d liver thymus " :yes:
The thymus does most of the immune werk in the body AND has innumerable hormone :balance: ing acts (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/ge.gif) that regulates the immune system as well as :bump: s the effectiveness. Anywho it's also one of the reasons I noes so muches about cholesterol :yes: Coinkadinkelly messing with cholesterol levels dramatically changes ones immune system ... though it takes time ... and is agin one of my siguie brand theories :wiggle:

I noes you've been busy attending to Bugleboy :rimshot: and um other issues :whistle: so may have missed my lengthy :blah: :blah: :blah: discourses on D levelz :drama: but in short vit.D levelz have a big impact on immunity and most people thinxz they can git enough from Mr. :sun: or just taking D3 supplements but that's wrong :nono:
Long story very slightly shorter ... D3 is oil soluble and most people do not eat enough oil WITH D3 to absorb muches even iffen the D3 is in oil. Secondly D3 needs to be converted by Mr.Liver to an "active" form which is then converted by the kidnieys into what the body uses BUT even more importantly Mr.Liver is unhappy in 70%+ adults due to diet :horror:
This is partly siguie brand theory but the reason so many people are deficient in D is Insulin Resistance and NAFLD {NonAlcaholic Fatty Liver Disease} :yes:
Anywho ask Mr.Google "vitamin d liver thymus " :yes:
The thymus does most of the immune werk in the body AND has innumerable hormone :balance: ing acts (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/ge.gif) that regulates the immune system as well as :bump: s the effectiveness. Anywho it's also one of the reasons I noes so muches about cholesterol :yes: Coinkadinkelly messing with cholesterol levels dramatically changes ones immune system ... though it takes time ... and is agin one of my siguie brand theories :wiggle:
:secret: vit.D :bump:

And my :lbrain: is just fine, thankyouverymuch. :wedgie: :pie:

So :b: was on vacay all week & we were quite busy. :yes:
First we brought in ALL the plants, even those cold-ish hardy cuz well...temps down to low 20s :shiver:
That resulted in rearranging our bedroom & bringing the cafe table & 2 chairs in here...where I now sits. :wiggle:
We enclosed an 8'x10' section of the veranda for 'sunrooming' & plants & suches.
We went to Jackson for a day & saw Wicked. :thumbs: :wub:
I helped Mom on Wednesday and all day Thursday cooking enough for 25 or more people. :spitcoffee:
There were 4 of us on Thanksgiving Day. :chuckle:
We went to Martin for a day.
B & I gotted most the :santa: ffuts bought & stashed.
Got Mom's tree in & up & going over to help her decorate today.
Whew. :chuckle: :b: said he has to go back to work to rest. :hysterical:
Oh & Mom is feeling pressure to gets a COVID booster & she axed my opinion. I said :no:
Fortunately, Zen Aunt is not sure about a booster either so that helped.
But I amembers that a certain kemissed dude once said that the M(Emory) part of the vaccine literally remembers forever!
Plus, I figger cuz she's had covid at least a couple times that there's that there, too. :chuckle: (I likes the that there's that there part. :rofl: )
I tolded her to be sure she gets enough D3 and to up her C.
Again :vibes: :heart: :sebiv: for Kaden. I'm hoping this turns out to be a blessing in disguise & that holding space that he will be just fine in time. :hearts:

:huh: Well just goes to shows that not all kemisterz noes what they is talkin about 'cuz there is no part of the vaccines that amemberz anythin :woe:
It's the hooman immune system :buttkick: and it aint foreber just more than 3 to 6 months which is the typical anti-body :boo: lifespan.
So didja take lessons on screwing up memos or does it just come au naturel :whistle:
But yeah DurtMomma no need no boosting :horror: Also srsly after that whole "white clot" thang the doktor or SOMEONE shoulda sed avoid all thangs covid or covid related like the plague :rimshot: :chuckle: srsly though :cleanse: not to mention she even tested positive for covid not that long agoes so already has the antibodies :woe:
"And my :lbrain: is just fine, thankyouverymuch. :wedgie: :pie: "
Well of course it is :therethere: ya neber use the thang it's prolly kept in the unopened box in a dark closet too :moon:
Plant freezing :shiver: :check:
:b: escaping to werk :check:
Oh and Happy :turkey: Dayed :gstars: :check:
Oh and last week there was a new :moon: that was somehow supposed to be spiritually speeshul :scratch: :idunno:
Oh and yup Trump :cheer: :gstars:
"Again :vibes: :heart: :sebiv: for Kaden. I'm hoping this turns out to be a blessing in disguise & that holding space that he will be just fine in time. :hearts: "
I dunno about being a blessing but a majority appear to make a complete recovery in 3 to 6 months so I is hopeful :yes:

I found it!! :excited:
Also the mRNA vaccines are literally "miracle" drugs 'cuz not only are they first generation new fangled vaccines they werk way better than anyone had dared hope AND they is still doog against the current variants :faint:
The thang is boosters are not really "necessary" AND because people will likely have more severe side effects it's not sumthin any vaccine company wants to risk after doing so well. The thang to keep in mind is that for the vast majority a booster will not make them "more" immune, it will just :bump: antibodies which are only useful if present when the virus is present.
If you had covid and recovered OR had the vaccine, even if your antibodies have waned and gone completely away :bye: you still has immunity :yes: or atleast your body has a stored memory of what to does iffen it seez covid and this memory generally lasts for years if not decades :thumbs:
So I worded it wrong. :nana: But knew what I meant. :chuckle: Yes, obliviously, it's the body that demembers. :rimshot: J ack I always said demember for remember but in this case... :hysterical:
Anyway... :no: boosters for any of us at this time tho COVID is surely a thang again according to a couple of hopsickle & pharmacy employees we know. And obliviously there are ZERO masks anywheres. So again, it comes back to the immune system. :shera:
But as I told Mom... COVID is not the big bad skeery thing it was in the very beginning cuz now our bodies know what it is & they are like, "Oh...you again... :buttkick: "
Elsewise... freaking cold here. :shiver: Hoping this means axshual winter will be mild. :chuckle:
And...South Korea just declared martial law. :huh: Not sure why or what for yet but just saw the chyron on CNN.

"... So I worded it wrong. :nana: "
Yes :yes: that's why you is wrong :therethere: Doog Memo :hi5: messing up that is :moon:
Anywho the amemberry thang is in the T-cell and the covid investigated bit were "CD4 T-cells" and they amember ffuts for years to decades nermally ... possibly a lifetime :dunno: but the CD8 T-cells amember longer but I doesn't seen nuthin on covid and them :nono:
In any event anti bodys :boo: are the first line of defense but they go :bye: in about 6 months ... so frequent :egg: sposure keeps the body making more to quickly deal with what it considers a persistent nuisance :club: iffen it don't see nuthin for awhile but the covid comes back the T-cells springinto action :run: ... this takes longer BUT they noes how to deal with that covid riffraff :guns:
The reason a person 'may' want a booster :bump: is the time lag :yes: Iffen there's a new particularly nasty variant or a person has a slooow to respond or poorly responding immune system THEN maybe :bump: and then ONLY iffen the vaccine is effective against the new variant. Elsewise you are just revving up the immune system making it thinxz it's being attacked by an old foe while it's really a new one and now yer splitting yer immune defense :horror:
Anywho add in the fact that vaccines are ALL based on part of the covid spike protein ... 'cuz they is on the outside and the body can recognize them ... now you has an issue because these antigens 'can' cause issues like "white clots" :no: Thang is these are long term :egg: sposure issues and NOT sumthin you can test for in less than 10 years. So yes :yes: the vaccine saved millions BUT now likely thousands are at risk for side effects. SO ... :whatever: ... the vaccine is doog :yes: just don't over does it :buttkick: Also one covid :egg: sposure iffen the person survives is better than any vaccine :yes: but since this includes the spike proteins you still git the longterm side effects :horror:
"... COVID is not the big bad skeery thing it was in the very beginning ..."
Aktually it kinda still is :yes: but only to those who have neber been infected AND neber gotted the vaccine so yeah DurtMomma is doog to goes sans vaccine :thumbs:
As a side note :choir: China is in a dire health crisis 'cuz their vaccine :suck: ed so bad eberyone required atleast 3 doses to equal one of the doog ones BUT many required much MUCH more and now they has severe immune issues :horror: made worse by ... well it's China :roll:

:spitcoffee:
That nail drilling kit looked quite :scared: :uhoh:
But doog boj :right on:
And speaking of feetz...
I hate it when you're almost always right. :pie:
But the thingy on the side of my foot that I thunk calloused was indeed a plantar wart thingamajig. :sigh: It's almost gone now. :wiggle: Cuz I'ze had plantar warts in years gone by. It was near impossible to see cuz of where it is so I had to sit on the floor with knee bent & foot turned back towards my body to get it in visible (not invisible :chuckle: ) position & sure nuff I saw the eye...the center...the root's face :rofl: And I boughted some salicylic acid. I'ze 80% better. :yes:
My dad usta get bad plantar warts way way back & he was always digging them out. :uhoh: With a pocketknife, not a fancy foot drill. :woe:
Anyway... :thanks: :righton:
And yes I noes COVID is still skeery to someone who's never hadded it. :pie: I was talking to Mom. And specific to her COVID in it's present state is not a super skeery thingy cuz her body recognizes it. :yes: I was splaining how in the beginning nobody's body had ever experienced such a thing. :scared: But she's had it at least twice. Maybe more. AND...had at least 2 boosters since the first 2 shots. Becuz her providers say, "81...get a booster." :sigh:
So on Friday J & I is going to a Christmas concert with the seesters. :wub: It's a high quality show but I don't usually go cuz...well...it's a choir concert, basically. As I told Mom, "Choir concerts are only fun iffin you're a part of the show". :rofl:
But this year I felt festive. :sparkle:
And on Sunday we are going to go see Wicked a second time! :faint: I never see moobies twice but I am looking forward to seeing this one again. :huh:
And on my burfday we are planning a day trip to Paducah (always makes me think of Pandora :wub: ) to eat a a Thai restaurant, then see Christmas lights & ffutses cuz...well...Mom & ZA really enjoy that. :wub:

"That nail drilling kit looked quite :scared: :uhoh: "
:chuckle: well it was either a new nail drill or use one of my Dremmels which can hit 35000 BUT are a tad more powerful :flex: for podiacal ffuts you want speed :run: not so muches POWER :flex: Also it's easier to change the drill bits and I made sure mine would fit afores getting it ... also I can keep it with my 3D printer 'cuz it's poifect for touching up edges :thumbs:
Anywho I recommend getting PURE salicylic acid from lab or ya noes Amazon then making yer own solution :yes: that way you can vary the strength as the corn/wart poofs :boom: Ya want more :buttkick: in the beginning then less as it gits closer to doog skin :yes: That sed I'm with yer :papa: cutting is the way to goes :yes: espeeshully for a plantars wart 'cuz iffen you don't git the center roots it's just gonna come back :horror:
Coinkadinkally the #15c scalpel blade is poifect for corns AND plantar warts :cheer:
Oh and that nail drill with a callous removing grinder bit would be a doog choice for gitting the surrounding dead skin thinned down AND afores you ask yes there are corn removing speeshul drills you can use and no I don't has any 'cuz I has #15c scalpel blades iffen needed BUT I don't need on account I takes doog care of my feetz 8)
FYI: I've also been :egg: sperimenting with bromelain for dead skin removal :yes: as a proteolytic enzyme it's gots lots of benefits :thumbs: BUT it's too slow for siguie feetz :sigh: Even the :superman: drill isn't enough :pullhair: I basically use a microplane grater and razor blades :kickcan:

Covid the virus will not cause that whole lung pneumonia death by ventilator thang :nono: On the other hand covid the virus and or covid the vaccine is like a lit match that can cause death by that platelet aggregating white clot :horror: Her immune system is now primed for that, her doktor should have told her no vaccine for you :buttkick: Also from yer research :chuckle: you should noes that she needs to avoid ALL covid :egg: sposures {including vaccine} for atleast a year prolly two AND reduce her a1c. The messed up fibrin clotting function ... as mentioned afores ... is related to messed up blood components :suck: These blood components are sugar related and is why diabetics are particularly prone to covid complications including white clots AND type 3 diabetus issues in the :brain:
:chuckle: well it was either a new nail drill or use one of my Dremmels which can hit 35000 BUT are a tad more powerful :flex: for podiacal ffuts you want speed :run: not so muches POWER :flex: Also it's easier to change the drill bits and I made sure mine would fit afores getting it ... also I can keep it with my 3D printer 'cuz it's poifect for touching up edges :thumbs:
Anywho I recommend getting PURE salicylic acid from lab or ya noes Amazon then making yer own solution :yes: that way you can vary the strength as the corn/wart poofs :boom: Ya want more :buttkick: in the beginning then less as it gits closer to doog skin :yes: That sed I'm with yer :papa: cutting is the way to goes :yes: espeeshully for a plantars wart 'cuz iffen you don't git the center roots it's just gonna come back :horror:
Coinkadinkally the #15c scalpel blade is poifect for corns AND plantar warts :cheer:
Oh and that nail drill with a callous removing grinder bit would be a doog choice for gitting the surrounding dead skin thinned down AND afores you ask yes there are corn removing speeshul drills you can use and no I don't has any 'cuz I has #15c scalpel blades iffen needed BUT I don't need on account I takes doog care of my feetz 8)
FYI: I've also been :egg: sperimenting with bromelain for dead skin removal :yes: as a proteolytic enzyme it's gots lots of benefits :thumbs: BUT it's too slow for siguie feetz :sigh: Even the :superman: drill isn't enough :pullhair: I basically use a microplane grater and razor blades :kickcan:

Kaden will be home this coming Friday, the 13th. Long story short, there was some shenanigans about his rights, and his recruiter from here raised a bit of heck on his behalf. So, he be home in time for the holiday and Buglet's second birthday. :gstars:
We be :shiver: here. But, next week it's gonna change and be near 50s. :huh: go figger. This old farmhouse does not do well with the wind. So, we are a little bit colder then usual. Not too bad, though.

Thank you, Sig. That was a good article. There is some slow resolution occurring. His stutter is less. His tremors have subsided a little, but he is still very weak. We shall see when he gets home. I've cautioned him that he needs to be patient with himself, but I think that is falling on deaf ears. :laugh:
Leam is in bad shape with an infection that has gone into his jaw bone. He is currently at Rochester, and waiting on surgery which is going to include some reconstruction, and working on the infection that has taken hold. Do not know what this infection is. Waiting on cultures. I suspect staph.
It has been a rough year. :sigh: I sure hope 2025 is a bit easier.
Anywho, Buglet is strong and a blessing every single day. :heart: :ladybug: is a working fool, and I've told her to slow down a bit for her own sake, but she ignores me. Now she's saying she feels unwell (burn out). But I isn't beating that dead horse.
Making spaghetti, and deviled eggs for the kids. So off I must :run:

Solly to hear about Leam :therethere:
"... That was a good article. There is some slow resolution occurring. ..."
It's a tad old but it was an early realized covid thang :yes:
A lot of people including psientists think covid is somehow speeshul and diabolical (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/36_1_15.gif) with EBIL powers the likes of which hoomanz have neber noed :horror: It's not :nono: coronaviruses are quite common they are just rarely found as part of seasonal flu ffuts. This means most peoplez immune systems are not used to fighting them off :nono: The thang that made covid speeshul is the unusually virulent nature, ease of transmission AND the huge immune resource requirement :secret: lab leak :whistle:. This last bit is what makes covid so nasty :horror: the body requires sooo much energy and immune ffuts to fight it AND it needs to does it quickly. This "stress" is likely the primary reason for sooo many autoimmune and secondary flu issues :yes: Those with weaker systems become more at risk for covid of course BUT weaker systems are also more likely to have a failure in the systems chain and :boom: all them secondary issues :yes:
More importantly it's also why these secondary covid problems happen AND generally take longer to resolve :therethere: Add in the body being primed for the next covid wave and still ringing from the last one it never gits a chance to rest and reset ... or atleast that's my opinion :oz:
SO ... :whatever: ... what does ya thinxz about PEMF ... :whistle:
The Use of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field to Modulate Inflammation and Improve Tissue Regeneration: A Review (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8370292/)

K so where was we ...
Vagus Nerve Stimulation {VNS} :yes: so here's the thang Mr.Spleen is an oft oberlooked player in the bodies immune system in particular inflammatory responses BUT immune ffuts in general ... sure it ALL goes back to Mr.Liver :hail: and the pancreas but the spleen while not vital and you can lives without one it still plays a big part in the immune system in particular white blood cells AND inflammatory bits n bobs like TNF-α which is a big player in inflammation :yes:
SO ... :whatever: ... how does this relate to Vagus Nerve Stimulation {VNS}? :scratch: doog question :yes:
Answer: PEMF :cheer:
So here's the thang you can actually use electrodes :electrocute: and zap yerself along the neck 'cuz the vagus nerve is one of the 12 Daze of Xmas cranial nerves :brain: ... I thinxz it's number 10 :scratch: Also there's the surgical option which is always nuf :yes: but this is generally for those with seisurez or depression or some :brain: issues that do not respond to medications. For eberyone else there's PEMF :yesss:
Anywho I was refining aka playing with my siguie brand PEMF systems ... in particular my 4 coil rhomboid designed to fit along the bottom of my rib cage so the :vibes: are maximized on Mr.Liver, pancreas and spleen ... plus :heart: and lungs 'cuz they happen to be there anyways :whatever: Then as I was acquiring :heart: rate and SpO2 data as one is wont to does ... I noticed a :bump: in :heart: rate ... which was curious :scratch:
PEMF does a lot of ffuts and since it boosts liver function, ketosis and autophagy I assumed it was a slight NRGeez :bump: but it didn't fit with my oxygen uses :scratch: So I thunked perchance it was a parasympathetic nervous system thang and yup I can does the same thang using my twin coils along the neck though it's more pronounced PEMFing just the spleen aka upper left side :oz:
Why is this of interest ... well whole body PEMF is noed to reduce inflammation and I'm guessing a lot of the de-inflamming is actually from PEMFing the spleen and liver.
So what is the whole vagus nerve thang when it's the spleen you ask? Doog question the vagus nerve does a lot :yes: but as I recalled ... and then looked it up to be sure ... VNS is one of the dooger treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis :oz: on account of the lowering of inflammatory ffuts AND this also werks for many types of psoriasis :whistle: Thang is VNS is a thang 'cuz it's difficult to :bump: the spleen directly with :electrocute: plus there's the :brain: part :yes:
Anywho that's why PEMF for the win :wiggle:

So, went to eye doctor today. Been having some weird thangs in my right eye. Lo and behold I have retina detatchment with macula off. Needless to say, into the hospital tomorrow morning. Honest to pete, if it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at'all. :gaah:
Right eye is makin' me nuts. Cannot see out of the dang thing. :(
PEMF. I been lookin' at it. I'm gonna talk with Kaden about it when he gets home. :hmm2:
Well they were REAL eggs, but the spaghetti was vegan. :thumbs: Said eggs were devoured by the two kids. :laugh:
I made macaroni salad with tuna. I was cravin' it. So, I be a Pescatarian these days. Amembers? :thumbs:
I've been craving carbs. I have no idea why. Although, I'm thinking tonight will be a big salad night.
We're having a warm spell right now, in the 40's and 50's tomorrow. We're getting the precipitation, and we need it. Snow, then rain.

Ok also the omega 3s and Zinc :bump: are all reasons for no plants :yes:
Oh right background ... plants don't have real vitamin A :nono: they has precursor ffuts that needs to be converted but between half and 75% of the US population has gene mutations that block it so are referred to a "poor converters " it's one of the big reasons why some people cannot be shrubists much less vegans :nono: link (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/4-reasons-some-do-well-as-vegans)

They is absurdly :egg: spensive :faint: and the consumer models are only 2 Gauss :woe: but they is easy-ish to make and lots LOTS cheaper :yes: I surgically implanted 10 coils into the back of Dad's lounging chair and made a seat cushion with 5 more ...

Still no new toy :sigh: and it's the screen that is goesing. First a vertical line down the center which spread to multiple pretty colored lines then solid white. And then a horizontal pretty colors across the bottom making one hafta guess where the icons is
Every time I open it it gets worse/biggerer/more so I haven't opened it today.
And no I didn't drop it or step on it or nothing. A cat may have laid on it but that's happened many a time.
So yeah I could cast it to a TV. :pie:
Sigster's Fix-It's and More .. :bliss:.

It's prolly just a :bump: ed display cable ... as in the display is fine and the computer is too BUT the cable connecting them is misaligned making a bad connection :electrocute:
How to replace LCD Screen (https://youtu.be/7uKH0isGe9Q?si=6bUMXLZZOzak_2R-&t=58) <= youtube video
Thang is ya don't need to "replace" the screen just watch the few seconds to where the guy sez "open the connectors bracket " then either disconnect then reconnect the video cable OR just jiggle it and make sure it's in securely and close the bracket. :angel:
When laptops "die" and it's not a drive or power supply problem this is 90%+ of the time why it don't werk :yes: This is also true for BIgee sized TeeBees and LCD clocks and devices. Those connectors generally have between 20 and 30 contacts and they are :egg: tremely fine :horror:
Anywho, casting is stoopid :buttkick: just use the thang as an HTPC or ya noes fix it :whistle:
FYI: all ya need is a small screwdriver, generally a small pHilips and a guitar pick. I has an assortment of :guitar: picks in my spudging supply and no I don't mean the flirting thang :buttkick: here's an Amazon link "spudger (https://amzn.to/3Zrx9Zc)".
Srsly this is likely an easy fix :yes:
"I mean, c'mon...surely you could does it for $250 a bar! :hysterical: "
Nermally I'd be happy to just does sumthin like this for nuthin :nono: but I learnt long agoes that's a bad idea :therethere: Iffen it's sumthin easy they should learn to does it themselves or be willing to hire someone to does it for them :yes: Elsewise they nitpick and want sumthin just a :wheee: more this or that or cannot unerstanz why a tiny change isn't easy :peas: y :gaah: not to mention there's a reason contractors have to be certified and insured :yes:

K so where was we ...
... as is is often the case one of my minions was trying to asplain health ffuts to another minion and just :blah: :blah: the usual stoopid ffuts ... half what doktorz say and half social media idiocracy :sigh:
Apparently 1 the most important numberz for doog health and long life :logic: ... according to them is Cholesterol and Weight :woe: :wall:
These are the two numbers I literally consider worthless by themselves and mostly useless in conjunction to actual useful data :whistle:
I would have just ignored them but they were bantering the CAD wurd too so :thwack: s and :buttkick: s became a necessity :whistle:
Cholesterol is pushed by doktorz and has been so obliviously wrong for decades I've always sed just look at the literature and see for yourself 'cuz there really is no connection between cholesterol and :heart: anythin :nono:
Weight is simply a useless number by itself in regards to health and is only a thang because being overweight has skeery implications BUT no one really understands what that means :woe: they just assume fat showing means too much weight and no not it :woe:
Instead of asplainin this all to the minions who don't unerstanz anythin well much less their kemystery :pullhair: I went with social media :horror: K I asked "what is/are the top skeery health problems in social media adds" ... then I amended the question to not including erectile dysfunction or :afro: loss :woe: ... their answers were Diabetus, Stroke and Osteoporosis and I thunked :yesss:
So here's the thang those 3 really are top tier Amerikanz health issues { :secret: along with cancer but I guess there are no social media adds for that :dunno: } and ALL 3 { :secret: 4} have an identical underlying cause AND there is a standard blood test :suck: that is a doog indicator :yes:
SO ... :whatever: ... that underlying factor is high blood sugar and in particular "prolonged" high blood sugar and the bestest general test is HbA1c :yes:
High blood glucose itself is NOT an issue :nono: it's actually nermal and the body prefers an Up/Down cycle (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/ge.gif) as opposed to always low or high or even a constant 99 :balloon: nermal :oz:
The reason ... as is so often the case ... comes down to kemystery :yes: In particular AGE {Advanced Glycation End products}. These are the thangs that cause all of them problems. OK diabetes is kind of a twofer here though tech :nickel: ly sugar doesn't "cause" diabetes it produces insulin resistance which then progresses to diabetes BUT there's a reason diabetics have more strokes, CAD, :heart: problems AND yes even more osteoperosis :oz:
In any event the hooman body is meant to handle limited amounts of glycated products 'cuz it's nermal, same is true for methanol :horror: Fer realz ask Mr. Google how much methanol is in a :tomato: ... the answer might surprise you :no: then look up fruit juice 'cuz there's way WAY more :horror: ... thang is it's fine :yes: Same with ethanol in doof :yes: it's also a toxin BUT there's a lot more in fruits and the hooman has adapted/evolved to handle it :flex: ... :beerme: and :wine: are too muches :naughty: and that's why when these exceed the tolerance limit ones health declines rapidly ... some faster than others :whistle:
In any event that was my minion lecture and :buttkick: ... you can blame fast and ultra processed doof seed oils or any number of preservative or additive BUT they's not really the problem :nono: Too muches of them ... prolly :yes: ... but too muches of anythin is "bad" :dunno:
Anywho weight and cholesterol not the big bad people thinxz :nono: Prolonged HIGH Blood Glucose ... yeah that's not doog :nono:
FYI: Bonus info nugget ... :secret: :egg: sercise is the bestest way to lower blood glucose so it's not a prolonged High :hippy:

The thang is lined up together these create a Five Feetz PEMF mat ... aka a FULL body system for people with :wheee: tiny bodies :roll: The doog news is I don't like PEMFing my head at night so this should be a poifect headlos body PEMF :yes: That sed I also made a twin coil earmuff PEMF system :cheer: ... so head and body sold PEMFed separately :oz:

Ooooh Nick Norwitz ... aka the Oreo Statin Guy ... just did a blurb on Red Light therapy :happydance:
Let There Be Light: Red Light's Role in Supercharging Mitochondria (https://youtu.be/X808Rg09JQM?si=PAT1Lacr6K2sT4en) <= youtube video
... He does a doog boj :yes: but it's just the basics 'cuz he's just starting N=1 ing :share:
That sed a little further down the red light rabbit hole there's some interesting tweaks that you can does ... like shinning light :vibes: on yer shins to promote skeletal stem cells. Ya see the light :sebiv: on bone :bump: s these up 25% but can be up to 400% :faint:
Skeletal stem cells are generally considered Multipotent vs Pluripotent but they can migrate to other areas of the body AND be used there or turn into other ffuts :yesss: OR ya noes just make the shin bones really doog :dunno:
Anywho there's a lot a LOT to does with photobiomodulation :vibes:

K so that was one of the most interesting K...where wuzzes we yet. :clap:
And yeah, I'ze on a new notebook but I really appreciate the info on how to maybe fix the old one, too. I will does that. :yes: :righton:
But I mean... $129. :faint: And it was a seamlos switcherooni as everything was automatically transferred & I didn't lose a thing. :wiggle:
The screen is so spotlos & clear :wubsigh: , the keyboard is more responsive & feels um...new. :chuckle:
It's a bit thinner & lighter tho essentially exactly the same.
The old one was well-used. Daily.. :faint: And outside a lot. Toted around. Like an old blankie. :chuckle: :wub:
So :yes: I've come to the conclusion that movement is the key to healing purty much everything. (Cept maybe injuries where one cannot move :pie: ).
Chronic...lifestlye dis-eases.
I saw a video claiming peoples are heavier now than they was in the 70s cuz they eat less meat. :woe:
It's mainly becuz of electronics. :yes: Kids once were physically active. Everybody played outside after school. Year round. Staying out in the wintertime til our toes practically fell off. :shiver: And oh I amembers the pain as they began to warm back up. :eek: And Mom's scolding about "Why didn't you come in before you got so cold?". :rofl:
BUT...the explosion :boom: of ultra processed convenience foods with their highly addictive high ratios of sugar, salt & fat has fed :rimshot: the epidemic of inactivity.
You watching the drone/UFO/UAP ffutses? :flyingsaucer: It's becoming quite a frenzy & more than one sighkick sez that they are UFOs & disclosure is imminent. :huh: I've heard that before, but who knows? :scratch:
Anything is possible any more. :crazyeyes: We're in a Tarantino film. :horror: :popcorn: :share:
:nickel: Added: Skeletal stem cells. :huh: Shinning cells. :sparkle: :shera: :sparkle:

But DANG that was skeery last night (http://httpw://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/au.gif)
Dad gotted only 1.62 inches :rain: but most of it fell in an hour-ish period and he gotted 112 lightning strikes too :horror:
Siguie manor is basically an island right now :bliss: and the rain data is all ober the place but somewherez between 3 an 8 inches and yeah ober a few hours with :blowme: and THE King Tide :hail: Oh and prolly an :electrocute: or two but I didn't notice :muaha:

:sigh: It was just a reader's digest lite recap :drama:
Ooooh new chromebook :share: ... yeah the syncing and :cloud: faeatures really does make them thangs far FAR superior to WinDoHz :yes:

Thinxz of it in the :egg: treme iffen you eat only :lettuce: will you will become "full" but neber be really satisfied and there's no way you will has as much NRGeez fer long :nono: vs just :cow: you quickly fill up, remain satiated AND has NRGeez :flex:

Thinxz of it in the :egg: treme iffen you eat only :lettuce: will you will become "full" but neber be really satisfied and there's no way you will has as much NRGeez fer long :nono: vs just :cow: you quickly fill up, remain satiated AND has NRGeez :flex:
You can argue :balance: or not going to :egg: tremez but that's not the point :nono: It's a continuum :om: there are always people at both ends BUT what you is looking at is the average when you moove the average away from :cow: sumthin else will be used to replace it.

Omg we went to the pulmonologist with Mom & it :rain: :rain: :rain: Sheets of :rain:
When we got home the walkway was flooded & J was :uhoh: so I had to :run: in the house, change into boots & get her boots so she could walk through the water.
:bsl:
Mom's doc visit was :cheer: First thing he said was "You are a seriously tough lady". :shera: :yes:
He was the bestest doc I've seen in Tanasi. :chuckle: He splained more of what she went through than anyone at either hopsickle ever had. :yes:
He said due to the severity she has to be on the Xarelto a minimum of 9 months at which time he will does multiple tests to check for the slightest bit of clotting. if she passes all those he will cancel the Xarelto. But if she should ever have a repeat of the clotting then she will hafta be on the xarelto for life.
At 6 months (March) she can stop it for 2 weeks to have the ablation. Plus she really wants a procedure done (it was scheduled & cancelled) to fix a droopy lower eyelid cuz she has dry eyes & tears pool in the lid making it sore.
But she aced her breathing tests & the x-ray was clear...as well as stethescoping. :righton:
We gots more :rain: apposta come today. And maybe :twister: weather.
Tis quite warm & tropical. :blowme:
Elsewise, just chasing my tail as usual for the week afore Christmas. :santa:
Today is serious kennel cleaning day!!! :bliss: :dog: :cat:
OH! We took Stripes (J's cat) in to the vet last week cuz she was super snotty & we were hoping her lungs were not filling up. She gotten amoxicillin & is doing oh so much better. :shera:
Anyway... I asked the girl at the desk if she could verify her age for me (I was doubting myself :chuckle: )
She got a funny look on her face like :huh: & then said, quite incredulously,
"Eighteen years...
and 4 months."
:spitcoffee:
I says, "Yeah, that's what I thought".
She says, "I've never seen a cat that old!"
And I replied, "She has a sister at home who looks even better than she does".
And she :faint: (Not literally :pie: )
And then I says, "I also have a 15 year old and a 11 year old" and she says, "What in the world do you do to them to make them live so long?"
I says, :dunno:
:bsl:

Doog Boj DurtMomma :beerme:
As long as Xarelto is covered by her insurance that's the better choice BUT mostly 'cuz it's easier :yes: but not betterer than Warfarin :nono:
It sounds like that doktor noes what he's doesing :yes: though he seems to be adding 3 months to the timeline though that's prolly to be safe :oz:
As for the test or possible repeat of clotting it's really going to depend on covid in yer area AND basically her a1c. The doog news is that the Xarelto will keep also help against the other prolonged high blood glucose ffuts :oz:
"But she aced her breathing tests & the x-ray was clear...as well as stethescoping. :righton: "
Stethescoping is a vanishing art form :sigh: BUT a pulmonologist ought to be real doog :thumbs: K tech :nickel: ly a :heart: doktor too but I doubt yers would has any skillz :therethere:
So durt island is the geriatric :kitty: sanctuary :thumbs:
Has nuf pre-Xmassing :wave: I got a bunch of these ... Folding Scalpel Knife (https://amzn.to/49GuzmO) <= Amazon Link ... to hand out :santa: They is still only $5 :woohoo:
Anywho I mostly use #10, #11 and #15 { :secret: #15c} blades ... the minions think BIggerer blades are better :sigh: In any event for $5 this is poifect for them ... small enough that you cannot do too much damage but sharp enough to be useful :thumbs:

"Surgical knives for outdoor skinning!" :aaahhh:
:bsl:
Oh, I noes what's meant. :duh: Amembers Chico & Coco dragging up deer parts after hunters had field dressed? :yucky:
Amembers when I gotted up to a bloody heart on the back porch???
Anyway....yes, I likes geriatric :cat: sanctuary better than :cat: nursing home. :rofl:
But speaking of suches...there is a space heater in the living room with a folded blanket right in front of it. There is almost always 2 elder cats right there in front of the heater & sometimes there are 3 of them there. :wubsigh:
And Stripes, who is pretty much incontinent, sleeps on a puppy pad topped with an old towel, which I change 4, 5, sometimes 6 times a day. :faint:
I toss the wet towels straight in the washer & wash a small load of old towels every dingle day. Most times the fresh ones come straight out of the dryer, unless we've done 'real' laundry. :rofl: It's far far cheaper (and easier I bet!) than diapers. :yes:
This too shall pass.
But for now we are at peace with it. :sparkle: :cat: :kitty: :cat: :sparkle:
PEMF. :sigh: Maybe when I get caught up around here. :rofl: Ir when :b: is able to retire for doog. :righton:
Did I mention that :santa: is bringing seeds? :happydance: I would so very much like my Dance Hall & nursery back in working order. :sparkle:
Taking the seesters to Jackson today. :sparkle: Don't really want much of anything Mom just says, "You're supposed to go shopping at Christmastime". :rofl: And, of course, we has to do lunch. :check: Axshully, J ack I is the only one who wants something in particular. :yes: She wants canvasses for painting with magnetic backs. :heart: s. She's had some before & wants to paint a couple gifts. :yes: :wub: They'ze at Hobby Lobby.
OMG the most beautiful photo of tulip fields just came on my teebee screensaver. :wubsigh:
Happy Day! :gstars:
Things are shaking in every which way. 7.3 quake: in Vanuatu/ But also political :wtf: redness all over the :earth:

For $5 they is just handy to keep in desks, cars etc. not even doog on a lab bench :nono: the blades are carbon steel ... doog for a longer lasting sharp but will rust iffen you leave it out :drama: I gave out some stainless steel refill blades too for those not so smate minions :whistle:

In any event I used it to make the siguie brand Infrared Sauna :gstars: and when it's not sauna-ing it's downstairs getting tunred on automagically based on a siguie brand anti :mushrooms: algorithm based on temperature and humidity :cheer:
Yeah my house is purty smate :wiggle:

Today I am making coconut cake and chocolate :pie: :yes:
Omg we had the bestest Thai doof yesterday! :happydance: Everybody loved it. Even Mom, who had the sweet & sour stir fry.
It's a relatively new restaurant...tiny place, just 6 tables & one of them is a 2 top. Huh. I just realized she seats 22 peoples. What a great number. :sparkle: 5x4 plus 2 But it was deeeee-lishous. She had 182 Google reviews and every one of them was 5 stars except one and that person hadn't even eaten there. :huh:
But the mall was too much for Mom...and even ZA. :sigh: Mom wanted to go but she's back to where walking much really is a problem.
I tolded the pulmonologist that when he said it was important for her to stay active...keep moving. I said, "Problem is she can't move much without pain until she can has that ablation.".
But we had a doog yad. They really enjoy road trips...and just riding. :yes:
Gotta get my Christmas on... :wiggle:
:b: hasta work Thursday & Friday but Sissy is apposta be coming I think. :wig: :gle: She still doesn't know which day. :crazyeyes:

"But the mall was too much for Mom...and even ZA. :sigh: Mom wanted to go but she's back to where walking much really is a problem.

Is it a feetz/legs thang THE Back or some combination 'cuz iffen it's just her back she'd be able to does more with a corset like back brace :yes:
She should also ask the ablation guy about non-invasive options 'cuz srsly he prolly does PEMF ffuts too :yes:
Nuthin against the pulmonologist :nono: but isn't Vanderbilt in Nashville? I thunked they had a post-covid speeshul department :scratch: No doubt they'd deal mostly with loooong covid cases BUT didja eber thinxz of calling them about the white clots? :dunno: The ffuts is autoantibody related to advanced glycation end products so it's not really "clotting factors" that need addressing/monitoring :nono:
"It's a relatively new restaurant...tiny place, just 6 tables & one of them is a 2 top. Huh. I just realized she seats 22 peoples. What a great number. :sparkle: 5x4 plus 2 But it was deeeee-lishous."
That's the classic Japanese tiny restaurant model :yes: Space is stoopid :egg: spensive :faint: so there are only a few tables and just enough kitchen to does eberythang and ALL of the dishes are quick cook or pour out ffuts with the majority of orders being take out :thumbs: Basically it's one step above doof truck :wiggle:
You should try their To Goes doof :yes: a lot of these places make the pickup orders a little larger or with sumthin :egg: tra 'cuz that's where they make their monies and they are trying to promote it :angel:

Anywho Trader Joe's has them on stalks so I'm boiling about 2 pounds of them green rocks :oz:
"But the mall was too much for Mom...and even ZA. :sigh: Mom wanted to go but she's back to where walking much really is a problem.
"
Is it a feetz/legs thang THE Back or some combination 'cuz iffen it's just her back she'd be able to does more with a corset like back brace :yes:
She should also ask the ablation guy about non-invasive options 'cuz srsly he prolly does PEMF ffuts too :yes:
Nuthin against the pulmonologist :nono: but isn't Vanderbilt in Nashville? I thunked they had a post-covid speeshul department :scratch: No doubt they'd deal mostly with loooong covid cases BUT didja eber thinxz of calling them about the white clots? :dunno: The ffuts is autoantibody related to advanced glycation end products so it's not really "clotting factors" that need addressing/monitoring :nono:
"It's a relatively new restaurant...tiny place, just 6 tables & one of them is a 2 top. Huh. I just realized she seats 22 peoples. What a great number. :sparkle: 5x4 plus 2 But it was deeeee-lishous."
That's the classic Japanese tiny restaurant model :yes: Space is stoopid :egg: spensive :faint: so there are only a few tables and just enough kitchen to does eberythang and ALL of the dishes are quick cook or pour out ffuts with the majority of orders being take out :thumbs: Basically it's one step above doof truck :wiggle:
You should try their To Goes doof :yes: a lot of these places make the pickup orders a little larger or with sumthin :egg: tra 'cuz that's where they make their monies and they are trying to promote it :angel:

J has gone with Mom, B is blowing Mom's abundant leaves to the street, & I gots a couple minutes to rest before I begin wrapping.
And then go over to start frying chicken. :( Sad, for the chickens. :chuckle:
And :yes: Mom's back. Her feetz are Axshully quite doog....and quite smooth & purtiful. :chuckle: She always gets comments on her pretty feetz & pedicures. :yes:
And :yes: I agrees about Vanderbilt...or even the New Life place that does the ablation treats long COVID.
I tried to get her to does that awhile ago. :sigh: But she went to the person that her provider sent her to. Her 3 day a week P.A. knows far more than I. :drama: :sarcasmfont:
But...everybody gets to does their own health however they wants to does it. :wiggle: Except J ack I. :rofl:
Gotta rap. :headbang: I mean wrap. :p

Dang today was the Thursdazed afores Xmas :gaah: :pullhair:
Dad had a scheduling senior :ooops: moment :woe:
Ya seez he doesn't really drive so I gots his car only the DMV sed he needs to has to come in and prove he can read an eye chart afores they'll renew his license. No big deal 'cept there were no appointments avaiable until TODAY :wall: and it was a tale of two cities ober :gaah:
Thang is it's only 12 miles away so Dad figurez he'd just trike there 'n back ONLY there was :rain: and :blowme: and and and ... he fergetted to tellz me about it until I gotted the message this morning ... :sigh: ... looong day :faint: Anywho the curries are finished and ready for tomorrow but tonight was siguie brand quick teriyaki salmon with a melange of stir fried vegetation and Trader Joes Thai shrimp potty stickers with a BIG side of air fried :fries: ... yeah I raided his freezer :oz:
"And :yes: Mom's back."
Well she prolly needs sumthin between a Spinova Osteo and a DonJoy Osteostrap but just a corset like thang would help for shopping type ffuts :yes: Even the backbrace that B used could help though that's more for lower lumbar.
"But...everybody gets to does their own health however they wants to does it. :wiggle: Except J ack I. :rofl: "
Perhaps but most make uninformed decisions because it's easier than understanding what all of the options are :whistle:
Ask Mr.Google ...
Speaken of PEMF ... :santa: jusst brunged me two Nextion's :happydance:
They is HMI devices {aka Hooman Machine Interface} ... thinxz :wheee: cheap computers to control the PEMFing :wiggle: ... yes more geeky but cool :bliss:

Werk don't start until the 2nd but I'm in taking care of stills 'n ffuts :sigh: 'cuz tonight is the last Kale Night of 2024 :drama:
Oh yeah gotted the 2.8 Nextion werken :thumbs: and I has a plan for what to does with the 5 inch one :yes: The person who designed the thang built it ALL into a single Nanuk Hard Case to make it portable and weather resistant and still plug into a PEMF mat. I'm purty happy with Dad's automagical setup and I doubt he'd aktually thinxz to use the thang himself :woe: So the 5 inch Nextion is gonna be for me PLUS I already gotted the BIGGie sized H-Bridge so it weren't gonna fit anyway :nono:
I'm planning on creating modular parts so I can Mix 'n Match :happydance: ... the H-Bridge will be it's own thang and I was trying to thinxz of a doog name that starts with a Z ... no not :zanna: :buttkick: ... anywho it's a Power Module :electrocute: and it would be nice iffen it twert a Zed PM :yesss: but alas so far the bestest are Zap or Zen :kickcan:
Oh and in order to control the :vibes: 3 wires need to goes from the Master Control Unit :muaha: {Nextion 5"} but all 3 require very little power :electrocute: so I'm planning on a siguie brand proprietary magnetic pogo pin connector system :headbang: Yeah I 'could' just purchase a set from Amazon but this seemed like nuf :oz:
FYI: This Nextion control system is basically like the BEMER control console ... you can change settings and run PEMF protocols/programs :angel:
Anywho, another reason for the separate power module is I should be able to piggyback them THEN stack and shunt the coils and at a standard 1800W house :electrocute: that should mean :vibes: in the range of 4 to 9 Tesla without :boom: :yesss: Also no need for :superman: capacitors, spark gaps, skeery HOT resistors or static :electrocute: buildup 'cuz that's tough to deal with :gaah: :fist:

K so that last post was like reading a foreign language. Cept I'd prolly do better at deciphering an actual language (unless of course Japanese or Chinese, et al :p )
:bsl:
Glad Dad is bouncy. :jump: And the video was looc. :yes:
I am quite energized today. :wiggle: :b: is only off tomorrow. :crazyeyes: And he had to go in last Thurzdaze & Fridaze.
It's quite silly cuz less than half the peoples are at work but one had to use vacay days to has more time off & he'd already burned his.
But he literally sat there & scrolled on his phone all day last week cuz there was nothing to does. Everybody that was there was the same.
Seems it would be better to just shut the plant down for the holidaze than to pay peoples to do nothing. :dunno:
I gots music on :siguie: and the TV on mute watching the fireworks & stuff from around the world. Dubai's show is on now & it was super cool til they creepily displayed the image of their leader I presume on a gigantic tower. :woe:

"K so that last post was like reading a foreign language. ..."
:drama: That was perfectly acceptable high freakenese :buttkick:
Anywho the main reason for getting the Nextions was they was pre-Xmas cheap and will prolly :bump: in price by around January 20th :whistle:
In any event the H-Bridge thang lets me does "Bipolar" waveforms as well as Mo POWER :electrocute: :vibes: plus it's a full :donut: <= circle to the high end PEMF products ... so NOW iffen I didn't use them cheap chinese ZK pulse width modulators to practice on ... :boom: ... and just wanted ALL the Bells 'n :whistle: s from the start it woulda :bean: $100 buckaroonies to build my twin coil ... k tech :nickel: ly $105 or closer to $120 with TAX :fist: but closer to $100 based on Black Fryday prices :oz: This is in contrast to the $4500 :faint: starter kit costs of the um name brands :whistle: PLUS they don't does that waveform :nono:
Oh yeah roight that bipolar waveform ... not to be confused :huh: with the :brain: thang of the same name :nonono: ... has some potential benefits for soft tissue PEMFing :vibes: ... PLUS it can does the original NASA 10Hz bipolar :sebiv: that a lot of people have tried to reproduce :yes: It's actually very difficult to does or atleast was with the tech back in the 80's :hippy:
"I am quite energized today. :wiggle: :b: is only off tomorrow. :crazyeyes: And he had to go in last Thurzdaze & Fridaze."
Yeah that's basically the official schedule here too :yes: only it's stoopid since kemikillz wont always react on our schedules :pullhair: plus there's the whole maintenance of the machines like the NMRs and with most people gone there's safety concerns with leaving minions unattended :horror:

I am so losteded. :missing: I mean more than usual. :asilly:
I am looking forward to Monday when the weeks become regular again. :crazyeyes:
Somebody tolded me today is Friday. :huh:
Yesterday I had a really :windy: type :elfparty: :bliss:
Mom, ZA, J & I went to Jackson & I was gonna buy me ffutses with Christmas $$ given to me from Mom. :happydance:
I bought a beautiful journal :wubsigh: And a deck of oracle cards called "How to Be A Wildflower" :chuckle: , some essential oil ffuts & a doog candle...and a pink tinted :heart: shaped glass mug with lid. :wubsigh:
So fun. To buy beautiful ffutses that I don't need but make me feel :flowerom:
Oh & gallbladderlos Matthew now has kidney stones! :gaah: So sad, the life he's had. But sadder yet the lack of guidance as his step-dad was just back in ICU with pancreas once again. :wall:
I :donut: care about the orange dude any more. :nonono: He's gonna get exactly what he deserves & it's gonna be ugly but I am so very much not on that timeline at all. :bliss: Gonna plant my seeds & :frolic: with my plants & animules & enjoy the simple life. :cloud9:
No time changing would be great but it's been tried before...in the 70s, and then last year with the Sunshine Protection Act :chuckle: but it's never quite happened. I'll believe that one when I see it. Trump's also gonna deport all the immigrants. Except the ones he wants. :woe: You are likely safe. :p They gonna keep the smate ones. :roll: But he now says he can't drill any more nor bring down grocery prices which is what he 'won' on. :pie:
Speaking of prices...we gotten gas for $1.49 a gallon the other day. :happydance: Regular price was $2.49 but I had $1 off per gallon through Kroger. That was fun. :righton:

Anywho, most eberyone has kidney stones ... they is like tarter on the teeth ... nermally it goes :bye: afores it gits too bad and most neber really notice :dunno: Unless he's complaining of pain espeeshully when :peepants: ... it's more likely some doktor is grabbing at straws to asplain his chronic infections 'cuz that's an easy one also not very likely :whistle:

The 70's was DST to "save" gas which it didn't and the "Sunshine Protection Act " was another egregious :horror: to try and make DST permanent :no:
DST is the greatest manmade EBIL eber created :horror: oh and technically Mr.President of any age coulda just sed "nope skip it" so hopefully he sez them wurdz :cheer:
"Trump's also gonna deport all the immigrants. Except the ones he wants. :woe: You are likely safe. :p "
:woe: no just the illegal ones :roll: surprisingly I is legal :moon: and yer confusing visas with immigration status in particular H-1B visas :buttkick:
"... But he now says he can't drill any more nor bring down grocery prices which is what he 'won' on. :pie: ..."
You really need to find better news sources or atleast fact :check: them :woe: He did NOT sez that :nono: Biden is trying to make it so he cannot or atleast Biden's :sockpuppet: masters are trying to make it so he cannot does offshore drilling. Also bringing INFLATION down is not the same as reducing prices :woe:
Anywho I'm a BIG fan of DOGE :cheer: and of course RFK's make the FDA recommendations aktually science based :cheer: and noes I does not agree with all of their decisions BUT :buttkick: ing all of the stoopid ffuts which is obliviously sooo stooopid and wasteful :thumbs:
Also muches like Argentina with Javier Milei ... it's not gonna be easy :peas: y :nono: and there are gonna be UPs and DOWNs and tons of people trying to make thangs go :boom: BUT some of us are mooved ... financially ... into position to leverage the volatility :cheer:
Srsly though ... it's like when covid happened ... you can hunker down and wait for the wave to pass OR ride it for ALL its worth (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/surf1.gif)

Anywho, most eberyone has kidney stones ... they is like tarter on the teeth ... nermally it goes :bye: afores it gits too bad and most neber really notice :dunno: Unless he's complaining of pain espeeshully when :peepants: ... it's more likely some doktor is grabbing at straws to asplain his chronic infections 'cuz that's an easy one also not very likely :whistle:
"I :donut: care about the orange dude any more. :nonono: He's gonna get exactly what he deserves & it's gonna be ugly but I am so very much not on that timeline at all. ..."
Um it kinda sounds like you still cares :whistle:
"No time changing would be great but it's been tried before...in the 70s, and then last year with the Sunshine Protection Act :chuckle: but it's never quite happened. ..."
The 70's was DST to "save" gas which it didn't and the "Sunshine Protection Act " was another egregious :horror: to try and make DST permanent :no:
DST is the greatest manmade EBIL eber created :horror: oh and technically Mr.President of any age coulda just sed "nope skip it" so hopefully he sez them wurdz :cheer:
"Trump's also gonna deport all the immigrants. Except the ones he wants. :woe: You are likely safe. :p "

"... But he now says he can't drill any more nor bring down grocery prices which is what he 'won' on. :pie: ..."
You really need to find better news sources or atleast fact :check: them :woe: He did NOT sez that :nono: Biden is trying to make it so he cannot or atleast Biden's :sockpuppet: masters are trying to make it so he cannot does offshore drilling. Also bringing INFLATION down is not the same as reducing prices :woe:
Anywho I'm a BIG fan of DOGE :cheer: and of course RFK's make the FDA recommendations aktually science based :cheer: and noes I does not agree with all of their decisions BUT :buttkick: ing all of the stoopid ffuts which is obliviously sooo stooopid and wasteful :thumbs:
Also muches like Argentina with Javier Milei ... it's not gonna be easy :peas: y :nono: and there are gonna be UPs and DOWNs and tons of people trying to make thangs go :boom: BUT some of us are mooved ... financially ... into position to leverage the volatility :cheer:
Srsly though ... it's like when covid happened ... you can hunker down and wait for the wave to pass OR ride it for ALL its worth (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/surf1.gif)
Fer realz the (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/surf2.gif) analogy is a doog one here :yes: but then I likes the ride :angel:

And the first Kale Knight <= I likes this spellaging is a SUCCESS :headbang:
Dad had neighbour visitation ... yes the same ones who want me throw some grabby bars up :sigh: Anywho the wife is supposed to be a doog chef but was surprised that I used chicken breast in an asian curry and even more surprised that it wasn't bland or tough :nono: I asplained that I sous vided them :boobs: 'cept this confused her even more :huh:
Ya seez I buy Costco frozed :shiver: chicken breasts in bulk put them in sous vide bags with siguie brand seasonings without thawing then seal and throw back in the freezer :wiggle: Iffen ya thaw them thangs the salt will brine the meat within hours and then begin to denature the proteins. So I add the salt {and other siguie brand seasonings} to the frozen chicken so it keeps indefinitely in the freezer and I tweak the ratios to be just right to brine AND season during a 90 minute cook time.
The best part is that this also ... mostly ... pasteurizes the contents so it can stay in the fridge bagged for atleast a week :bliss: Apparently 1 this isn't a common sous vide method ... who nude :dunno:
I also asplained that the siguie brand 5-spice pork and gochujang pork were like-wise pre-frozed :shiver: afores cooking and these were done this way 'cuz I hate cleaning my Instant Pot so they is pressure cooked in the bags and the instant pot is just loaded with siguie brand distilled water :wiggle: bestest of all is these are pressure sterilized :vibes: so :angel: I can just leave them in the pot until I amemberz OR put the bag in the fridge. This also makes removing the fat easy :peas: y and I use the flavoured oil for cooking and of course part of a Ramen tare :angel:
Oh and I also vaccum seal and freeze long grain rice short and medium grains are trickier and take more time :unthumbs: The trick is using ice cubes for the water and pressure cooking when desired :wiggle:
Anywho the wifey was :huh: :faint: and wants an Instant Pot and sous vide ... though I pointed out it wasn't hard to make an instant pot werk as a sous vide though not as precise :nono:
Oh yeah this all came about as they was wondering how I makes doof for Dad and commute and sometimez even werk in a lab ... anywho sous vide, Instant Pot, microwave and induction cooking FTW ... oh and a flamethrower too of course :oz:
"... some essential oil ffuts & ..."
Oh yeah that reminds me I did an xmas Roll 'n Tell t'was mostly for some secretaries and a couple of minions ... it all stated with sumthin about a stoopid :egg: spensive peppermint roll on thang for headaches/migraines ... tea tree oil anti :blob: :mushrooms: ... yada yada :whatever: Anywho I asplained the concepts of oils, efficacy, carrier oils AND why lotions are ... mostly ... overpriced transport medium for being able to put a thin layer of oil on the skin. This led to the question "how else would you does it?" SO ... :whatever: ... siguie brand Roll 'n Tell was borned :angel:
I brunged in ... 5ml Amber Glass Roller Bottles for Essential Oils (https://amzn.to/4049TRb) <= Amazon Link I also has a 10ml variety but his is what I use for testing new oilz :oz:
Without getting into too muches details ... I has a lot A LOT of oils :ashamed: some for their scents, some for therapeutic properties, others for analgesia, anti-scaring, transdermal, some for :afro: and some for skin and :blah: :blah: Anywho I let each person has 3 bottles and asplained how to chose a base carrier oil and how muches of the other oils to add for scent or therapeutical effects.
So like that migraine oil uses peppermint oil as a key ingredient but menthol is the main component AND it's an analgesic. So you choose a carrier oil for your skin type and in this case for the skin between yer eyebrows. Some people git the blinkyz with menthol so you has concentration limits and choosing a lighter oil for faster release but thicker {more viscous} for slower release AND based on the absorption rates iffen that's desired and :boom: easy :peas: y a migraine oil designed specifically for a persons skin and tweaked fir maximum effectiveness and length of time :angel:
Yeah this took longer than I was :egg: pectin :horror: I suspect this is easier for me since I've done it for a few decades :whistle: Anywho the point ... perchance you'll want to try them rolly bottley thangs :oz: They were quite the hit :yes: and the 3 per person limit wasn't as strict as I shoulda made it :gaah: :pullhair: anywho my refill came so I has another 24 bottles :wiggle:

The sun has already produced three intense X-flares this weekend and shows no sign of slowing down. So far the effects have been limited to shortwave radio blackouts, but CMEs and geomagnetic storms could be in the offing as the underlying sunspot turns toward Earth. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

I commented on a youtuber's PEMF video that one of the reasons why PEMF werks better for some is that one of the thangs it does is increase eNOS production rate and the amount of Nitric Oxide a person has nermally has confounding factors :drama: Anywho I didn't amemberz iffen I posted that ffuts here :scratch:
In any event PEMF increases blood flow :suck: and atleast in part this is due to NO but there is more :yes: including a likely autophagy :bump: oh and of course angiogenesis and other ffuts :angel:

Today is :elvis: 90th :birthday:
Mom is having a party this afternoon & J & I & ZA & a neighbor or 2 are going over to watch the movie, "Elvis: for which B & I just gotted her a new BluRay. :huh: She just said she needed a new DVD so she could has this party & we said, "Yako". So as he was hooking it up :b: asked, "What was wrong with the old DVD?"
She replied, "The moobie would freeze up at a particular spot.".
:woe:
"Are you sure it's not the DVD?" axed :b:
"Uh...." replies Mom.
And I sez, "I guess we'll find out on Wednesday!" :bliss: :bsl:
Anyway, we'd asked a kid about a BluRay player at Target & he looked at us like we were from another planet. He says, "You mean a thing where you actually put a disc in?" & we laughed & said, "Yeah, that's it." But no, they didn't deal in old skool ffuts. :hysterical:
Mom's former current player is a combo DVD/VHS! :aaahhh: :bsl:
So Mom's making soup. And I'm about to bake a cake. :chuckle: And then we're hasing peanuts & :popcorn:
At 11 :elvis: time.

Omg the Firestorm around L.A. is horrendous. :candle: :gheart: :candle:
And a snowstorm coming to the SOUTH! :faint:
And a funeral for Jimmy Carter today. :candle: :angel:
Oddly...or not... I feel really doog. :shera:
Our :elvis: party was doog. And no... cannot digitalize for Mom. Mom cannot still manage YouTube of YouTube tv or an other streaming option on her TV even tho I've shown her many many times the simple way to find what she wants with the voice search. :sigh: She still pays for & uses her cable even though she has everything she needs without it. It's ok tho. She does not speak tech in any form or fashion except for scrolling FB.
Reminds me of my grandfather who frequently called a cousin to 'fix his tv' when the function button on his remote would get off of 'cable'. :chuckle:
It's ok. She comes from a generation who growed up without electricity or running water. This planet has changed dramatically for her.
Elsewise.... staying warm. :shiver: Gotta get some humidity in the house today. :yes: Me, and the plants, needs it. :heat:
It's Almost Friday!!!

Up in the sky ... :superman: ... :scratch: .... NASA sez it's a "planetary parade" with Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn shinning in alignment :yes:
Of course astroIL :logic: ally war, :flex: and death :uhoh: oh and whatever Venus is about :whatever:
:share:
Oh and kale night ... soon ... :horror:
In other newses ...
Microglia are basically :brain: immune trash cleaning cells. When these suckers git tired or just cannot keep up thangs happen related to dementia, alzheimer's age related :brain: ffuts etc. Does ya noes what perks them back up :bump: plus Apparently 1 makes them multiply and werk doog together (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/grouphugg.gif) ... yup PEMF :yes: :bliss:

K so last weekend had :cloud: s and when not messing up my ffuts the :moon: was out warshing away my nebula :fist:
Anywho in my pilez of :electrocute: module I found an olde 3-channel frequency generator :yesss: They is durt cheap and I burned out 3 brotherz and seesters (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) BUT one remained :cheer:
Anywho it's not nearly as slick as the Nextions :nono: but they was originally $2.50 years ago and even now they is $10 for two so I ordered two morez :wiggle:
Anywho I fergetted to post this video ...
New BipHasic PEMF thang (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/miniPEMF.mp4) <= 32s video
I'm not really sure if asymmetrical BipHasic waveforms are better or not :dunno: the thang is they is much MUCH difficultier to does than nermal monopolar pulsed :vibes: BUT this is a quick much cheaper way to does it and it's a very clever way to git around the usual problems :thumbs: {concept credit: Steeve Bradet <= yes that is how to spell his name }
Oh also due to tech :nickel: difficulties there is not much research done on BiPhasic Square :wave: s :nono: much less in the 50+ Gauss range ... but there is a suggestion that BipHasic :wave: s are better for soft tissue and I AM LiverMan :superman: so wanted to seez what would happen :wiggle:

So the minions decided I'm a :mina: type :sigh: and where trying to pick my :brain: for stock tips :woe:
Tech :nickel: ly the US is still about 30% probability to be in recession by the end of the year down 20% thanxz to the orange guy :oz: BUT there is still a doog chance he'll be taken out :guns: by next week so I'm still in a ready to moove financial state :run: Then there's the Biden economic damage that still needz to be reported :horror: AND there is likely to be a lot a LOT of :guns: and standoffs and skeery ffuts once Return to Sender gits into full swing :elvis:
So fer now cautious optimism :om:
In other newses ...
I'm still not sure about BipHasic PEMF square :wave: s asymmetric or symmetric :hmm2: but I still likes the idea :yes: and now that I've mooved on to pHase 7.2 and am using H-bridges to :bump: my POWER :electrocute: options there's no reason not to use it :nono:
Next up ... siguie brand ... H-bridge sync :headbang: :headbang: with flux vector addition :vibes: :vibes: :muaha:
Srsly :yes: this way I should be able to git beyond home voltage/amperage limitations without :electrocute: :boom: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif)

K so where was we ...
Weight loss injectiblez like Ozempic are now being touted for their :brain: saving potential espeeshully in type 2 diabetes :yes: ... :woe:
Ya seez GLP-1 aka Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists reduce the odds of dementia and associated other diseases like alzheimer's :cheer:
Why ya might ask :hmm2: well partially due to a decrease in carbohydrates but also ... wait for it ... autophagy :cheer:
Ya seez GLP-1 is an incretin ... a gut released hormone ... which happens to be the one that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin ... yada yada :whatever: The point that is being overlooked is that instead of pointing out that carbs are the thang leading to the :brain: problems drugs like Ozempic are getting ready to be promoted as the next contenders in preventing :brain: disease :flex: So iffen you has dementia or Alzheimer's in yer fambily you can take ozempic as a preventitive ... soon ... :horror:
Yup! :yes: I noes which companies to inves in :yes: :chuckle: like I didn't does invest in them when those drugs cleared FDA pHase 2 :hysterical:
There are some peoplez who simply cannot help themselves and or are already diabetic and have been for years ... so yes they are likely doog candidates :yes: for eberyone else keto or carnivore :cheer:

Yeah but what's gonna be the blowback from those weight loss drugs? :huh:
Already peoples are speaking out at how the patient assistance programs ended & the cost was stoopy spensive so they gained back all the weight plus more. :woe:
Of course, prolly none of those peoples made lifestyle changes. :sigh:
Eeerybody just wants a pill for eeerythang.
Back to Mom & casting &/or puter or anything.... :no:
Just :nonono: She's quite content with what she has & easily stressed by anything new.
Elsewise....80 degrees inside the plasticated veranda room but 60 elsewhere. :bliss: :spring: I been frolicking all morning. :frolic:
Politically speaking :sealed: :chuckle: But the Orange Dude is :ceilingcat: Or at least one of his advocates. The Musty Dude is prolly eviller. :dunno:
Ever see The Devil's Advocate with a young Keanu Reeves & younger Al Pacino? :popcorn: :horror:
BAck to enjoying the weathers... :bliss: I gots lots of ffuteses seeded...lots of planning...lots of focus on plants, animules & me. :flowerom:

:hysterical: :chuckle: Yer kinda making my point :therethere: "people" will accept :whatever: iffen it can let them not has to change :nono: and iffen someone else pays for it :yes: Add in the "plus lose weight " and it's a gold mine cha ching :yesss:
What people should does is actually noes HOW a drug werks and WHAT are the rare side effects and how was the term "rare" defined as well as what contributes to them side effects. Fer instance Ozempic is defined as a weight loss drug ... some of these noed "rare" side effects is lowering blood glucose, decreased kidney function, pancreatitis, neuropathy, Na ION vision loss plus a few others but we'll stick with these. These are ALL common diabetic issues even without Ozempic.
The doog news is iffen you are NOT diabetic these problems are "rare" :yes: The Bad news is atleast 20% of adults in the US have undiagnosed diabetus and the odds that they are overweight are ... yaeah I don't noes that sadistic :scratch: but it prolly isn't Zero :nono:
Here's some general Mr.Google AI info ...
Very common: Affects more than 1 in 10 people
Common: Affects between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people
Uncommon: Affects between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 people
Rare: Affects between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000 people
Very rare: Affects fewer than 1 in 10,000 people
Anywho this is one of the reasons why iffen yer diabetic you should has a doktor monitoring you :yes: 'cuz iffen you IS diabetus enhanced :flex: the side effects :bump: up 1 or 2 or morez levelz :whistle: However, since diabetics have a roughly 60% higher chance of getting dementia/Alzheimer's ... perchance Ozempic to the rescue :dunno: ... they might lose some weight too :whistle:

Nuthin wrong with that :nono: Iffen the benefits outweigh the risks then bring on them (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) :woohoo: research funding :cheer:

Yes it's real :blah: :blah: and the thang he recommends ... other than the :sun: ... is sumthin from EMR TEK ... and no I don't noes muches about them BUT there cheapest device $249 is basically the same thang I made with my computer CPU cooler an 100W RED LED :cheer: Oh and yeah it was ~$30 but without the cool metal case :drama:

Friday :cheer:
I did a quick design for a magentic box casing for the H-bridges and they should print in under 2 hours AND not burst into flame (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) iffen I max out the current draw :cheer:
With the annoying :cloud: s :egg: xpected I'll atleast git sumthin made :yesss:
200 to 300 Gauss is more or less Dad's tolerable not noticeable upper uppity limit after that you can seez nerve twitching in his fingers ... atleast with monopolar. For me 700 Gauss and I can just :bear: ly feelz sumthin :vibes: Now the inerestin thang is that with BipHasic waveforms I cannot tellz anythin until just ober double that :hmm2:
The standard 30G to 50G range is fine for general PEMFing but my goal is still to play in the Big Leagues of the Tesla ballpark {10,000 Gauss = 1 Tesla} SO ... :whatever: ... it's an H-bridge weekend :cheer:
Ya noes after Kale FryDay :horror:

:hi: Been busy with a very very sick kitty. :sigh: Nope, not one of the seniors. It's Spanky. He's 7 years 7 months. :sparkle:
Anyway, I suspect feline leukemia but we turned down testing (I know, I know....but with 7 cats... ). They offer no treatment if he was positive.
So he gotted a convenia shot and a steroid shot.
Long story short but he's better as far as the URI he had but he's still not eating or drinking & earlier I remembered how I felt after that antibiotic shot. :scared:
As I was typing this he actually came out of one of his 2 convalescing hidey holes & jumped up onto the table. :faint: He's had literally NO food & likely no water for 5 or 6 (or more?) days. :faint:
Even with that fact he is much much better than he has been. :crazyeyes: He was a sick sick
Elsewise....planting seeds. Getting outside & getting ready for planting transplants & getting ready for :bliss: outdoors.
Escape from the worldwide chaos...

Spanky has made an absolutely miraculous recovery! :cheer: I credit the homeopathic remedy nux vomica but...it could also have just been time. I'm pretty sure it was the antibiotic that about did him in, but also likely saved him. Cuz I recognized myself when I had that UTI & missed a week of my life. :crazyeyes:
I also amembered when we took Stripes in & the vet (different one) asked if I was ok giving her liquid amoxicillin with a syringe. She says she could give her a shot but she's so old...and weak...that once I give the shot I can't take it back. :righton:
It's called Convenia. Cuz it's convenient. :doh: And I readed a lot about it while Spanky was 'recovering'.
He's skinny but I bought him kitten doof. :drool: And he's out here on the veranda with me acting as if nothing ever happened. :crazy:
You really oughta patent that PEMF chair. There's a market out there for sure. A growing market. :yes: Zen Aunt would buy one right away. :chuckle:
Speaking of ZA...she had the shingles in her eye, amember? And she still has pain & permanently reduced vision. But there was some new eye drops that the doc had a sample of that really really helped. Until she found out the cost. :no: I don't remember how much but it was ridiculous & even with all the discounts they could dig up it was still over $800 for a teensy bottle.
She tried castor oil :horror: after reading something online but said it irritated. :chuckle:
But she asked me to ask you if you knew of anything that might ease discomfort. She knows nothing is gonna heal
The doc says it's part scarring from the shingles & an equal amount of scarring from longtime dry eyes.
It's :spring: here. :bliss2: I gotta gotta get me some... :sun: that is. :cloud9:
:gstars: Happy Kale Day!!! :gstars:
:bsl:
My curly scotch Kale babies gotted stretchy :sigh: But the other varieties (and collards) did not. And yes, the light was right on top of them all.
So now I'ze gonna hafta transplant them into flats or something when I was hoping to keep everybody as plugs so as to save a step (and space!)
In the same footprint I can has 98 plugs, 72 plugs, or 36 in flats.
I'm ready to manifest a windfall :gstars: so we can has the nursery re-upped & the Dance Hall re-plasticated & lots more ffutses done.

:yesss: :cheer:
Homeopathetic remedy :chuckle: you so nufny :hysterical: :therethere:
Huh weird :scratch: amoxicillin and the one combined with clavulanic acid {aka Augmentin} are my favourite to keep on hand :thumbs: but for thangs like UTI's :cs: at regular intervals is on par iffen not better PLUS in conjunction with antibiotics can be many MANY timez more effective :yes:
The cs effectiveness is due in part to the way the body removes cs AND the fact that UTI's are generally surface form infections so the colloidal particles are literally concentrated and put in contact resulting in :boom: no more infection :cheer: But yeah amox is not gut friendly :whistle:
Um ZA prolly gotted an antiviral like ganciclovir, famciclovir, valaciclovir or valganciclovir ... my guess is it was OR she should git ganciclovir eye drops :yes: in particular eye GEL. Basically gels are cheaper and stay in place longer but really are best used at night just afores (http://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/zzzscratch.gif) 'cuz they stay in place longer AND would help with the dry eye thang PLUS they is cheaper and easy to um stretch iffen needed :whistle:
Anywho it looks like it should cost about $500 afores insurance BUT most insurance will cover it so it's around $100 after which isn't horrible plus iffen she uses it just afores an outbreak :bump: it isn't as wallet draining :dunno:
She prolly noes it already BUT like most peoplez :drama: she prolly doesn't has enough vit.C ... intravenous C :flex: yeah there's evidence for it being doog but I'd tellz her to git a bottle of C gummies :cheer: OH and uber dose B12 too :yes:

acyclovir :check: I believe she did use that for years. And may still to keep the virus at bay.
But the issue now is from scarring, not active virus. At least not at present. And I wonders iffin some of the scarring wasn't done by the doc cuz when the shingles was active she went in regularly for scraping of the lesion. :uhoh:
I will mention the gels to her. I honestly don't know what all she's used over the years.
PEMF. :yes: :check: :pie:
And :yes: the whole :earth: is out of tolerance. :luna: :balance: In all ways possible. Tis been so forliterallyever but has become precariously moreso in recent times. K, not forliterallyever cuz I reckon the planet was yako like in the Paleozoic era, et al. :wedgie:
So... Yesterday...on the Lunar New Year... I planted, kale, collards, chard, snow peas, radishes. beets, endive, lettuces & arugula! :gstars:
IN the shipping crate gardens. :chuckle: And then just before dark I put the lids on the containers. :cheer:
And why is that a :cheer: ???
Becuz today we have :rain: Gully washing flooding :rain:
At one time all my seeds woulda washed away. :bawling:
But now... :bliss: :spring:
We have 60s, even a couple 70s, for the next 10+ days. :bliss2:
And everything I've put out is easily protectable for when, not if, we gets another polar plunge kinda spell. :no:

I keep meaning to axe you iffin there's anything truly 'bad' about using oxalic acid? :uhoh:
I've (in the past yearish) switched to primarily cooking with enameled cast iron and my carbon steel skillet & carbon steel wok. :yes:
The oxalic acid (Barkeeper's Friend) was first bought for the enamels but I've discovered it works better than anything else for my shower insert, the stainless steel appliances, the glass stovetop. I :wub: it.
Which concerns me. :chuckle: The internet says it's caustic, corrosive & potentially fatal. But the Barkeeper's Friend has no skull & crossbones or anything on it.
So I wanted to ask my favorite Kemissed. :sig:
:ashamed: I does notice it makes my hands feel rough much like potting mix does cuz I am not so doog at always wearing gloves. :spoo:

Barkeeper's Friend is :egg: cellent and I keeps atleast 2 shaky powder thangs stored in my containment vault {aka downstairs pantry} :thumbs:
That sed the warning is because 1} it's a fairly strong organic acid 'cuz it also chelates gegenions { :secret: the positivity ones } and 2) it stealz yer Calciumz :horror:
Srsly :yes: there's a :flower: called oxalis also noed sometimes as sour flower or faux shamrock ... anywho it contains lots of oxalic acid and them kids that eat it have a tendency to lose teeth and develop kidney stones :horror: :cat: s too and them stones are noed as Calcium Oxalate rocks :brick:
Basically it's fine iffen ya don't does the stoopid and eat it OR use it on any of yer carbon steel cookwarez or iron :naughty: Stainless ffuts is fine :yes:
Anywho oxalic acid is :flex: > citric acid >> acetic acid ... so I mostly use it for removing rust and seriously tough hard deposited ffuts. For general use I use Milliard doof grade Citric Acid (https://amzn.to/4aDOUtq) <= Amazon link :yes: It's much safer than oxalic acid, happens to be doof grade and is still better than vinegar :angel:
That sed ya still shouldn't use it on carbon steel or cast iron :thwack:
That's the 5lb link I noes there are cheaper smaller bags but that's the one I git ebery year or two. It's right in the purty safe zone for descaling ffuts and it's not a problem iffen I don't rinse thangs too doog :nono: PLUS it's one of the ingredients in my carbonating system to makes siguie brand pop :pepsi: and mine don't has no sugar/carbs and tastes great :liplick: :matt:
FYI: Adding "acid" to soap will reduce the foaming and generally lower the grease cutting ability. This is why doG invented detergents :gstars: ffuts like Bar Keeper's Friend are a mix of detergent AND oxalic acid. The acid cuts through thangs like deposits and dissolves { :secret: denatures} proteins while the detergent acts as a surfactant and grease cutter :wiggle: It's easy to make yer own :oz: BUT agin Bar Keepere's Friend is doog ffuts :thumbs: Oh and yeah the detergent removes the protective skin oils and the acid removes the skin so unless you want a really doog exfoliation :egg: sperience on yer hands ... gloves are recommended :whistle:
"But the issue now is from scarring, not active virus. At least not at present. And I wonders iffin some of the scarring wasn't done by the doc cuz when the shingles was active she went in regularly for scraping of the lesion. :uhoh: "

Tolerance is not about how much you or I can tolerate? :woe:
According to Law Insider: Define Out of Tolerance. means a calibration result that is outside of the instrument's specified performance limits.
And in this case the instrument is :earth: and the calibration is being done by ETs. :yes:
We are in danger of going :boom: Not quite literally but in multiple ways.
I'm not sure what acceptance has to does with anything in this instance.
I really needs my backup :choir: here. :bear: :Jen, :enorah: :violet: Pandora They'd tell you the same. :yes:
This comes from knowing . Not from :book: or :cbutt:
So now I am free to love Barkeeper's Friend in full... :bliss: :bsl:
And I will wear gloves. :ashamed: It's the same feel as when I does potting with no gloves. :eek: No amount of moisturizer helps, but in a couple days I'ze doog as wen. :wiggle: :rofl:
My mother has always been a kitchen glover. She always had purty fingernails, too. :chuckle: Now she has fake fingernails but still protects them. :chuckle:

ZA has the type that get gritty. Real gritty. And that, as well as the shingles, is what the eye doc said.
My dad had a shingle scar for life above his one eye. :yes: It was more concave tho. Like it had eaten a widdle hole in his head.
And yes...KETO! :yes: I've mentioned it many times & she still says, "But Jill..." Jill is her decades-long friend who losted 100 pounds then regained 120. Jill is an RN & ZA respects her :brain: immensely. So I don't see breaking through that wall in this lifetime. :nonono:
Never say never tho. :wiggle:
It's grocery day. :elfparty: Purty much on a Martin-only route any mores. I likes Martin. :wiggle: I'd live there in a :heartbeat:
There is a UT campus there & the population is far more diverse, meaning educated :chuckle: and liberal. :rofl: But it's also real purty. :wubsigh:
I'll hafta read up on it but it appears to be another of the towns that was not burned in the Civil War cuz there are aplenty of beautiful old Victorian houses. Huntingdon was another town I knows was spared. The Union Army peoples took over the houses & for whatever reason did not burn them when they vacated.
Sordid history round here. :yes:
So we goes to Taiwanese Tommy's non-Asian salvage store first :p and likely get Fancy Feast for the seniors & whatever other doog deals or hard to find ffutses he has.
Then to Rural King for puppy training pads (pee pads) cuz the old ladies have both decided they don't do litter boxes any more but thankfully they DO do pee pads. :yes: I also gets Californya walnuts there ($8 for 24 oz) and sometimes maple syrup.
Then to Walmarts for Kale (Ruler only had :yucky: bagged kale), red cabbage and chocolate almond milk (J's favorite) and :banana: is they's not too ripe.
Then finally to Ruler for the bulk of the doof.
Somewhere alongs the way we will eat something as it's about a 4 hour loop.
And that's our gib yad! :elfparty:

K so where was we ...
K so PEMF therapies can basically be divided into THREE categories 1) pHysical mechanisms 2) BiopHysical mechanisms and 3) purely biological. The first two basically involve some direct form of Faraday's law of Induction to cause or stimulate an effect while the third gits tricky :uhoh: And what really makes it difficult are the cascade effects ... essentially dominoes falling to alter thangs down the line and complicate thangs up :no:
Basically when the body or sumthin has an :electrocute: charge magnetic :vibes: can induce an effect ... so thangs like Calcium channels and pulsing neurons or even :brain: activity and sure :sebiv: does ffuts :yes: and purty muches always doog ffuts which is nice but a little wierd :scratch:
So here's the thang WHY is it beneficial against :blob: s :mushrooms: and even autoimmune diseases? :dunno: I mean srsly PEMF :vibes: have no direct effect on viruses :nono: and for the most part only negatively effect bacteria via the changes to the ones that use biofilms :dunno: None of this makes any sensicalz :nono:
I might change my :brain: at anytime without warning BUT I thinxz my original assessment was correct 8) ... the main thang PEMF does is :bump: mitochondria :bliss:
Beleebz it or not this actually means a slight thought change :scratch: In muches the same way type 2 diabetus is less thunked of now as an "autoimmune" disease I suspect most "autoimmune" diseases aren't :nono: rather they are the bodies attempt to fix a problem that it doesnt has the mitochondrial might :flex: to fix and is just trying the best that it can :yes:
Ya seez this kinda asplains why diseases like MS which is considered an autoimmune based neurodegenerative disease can in some very extreme cases be reversed AND why PEMF seems to werk surprisingly well at atleast reducing the degernativiness of the disease :angel:
FYI: MS is essentially caused by the Epstein–Barr virus or at the very least it is a very VERY BIG risk factor.
So the idea that PEMF can help MS patients is perhaps not just the reduction in inflammation BUT also the :bump: in mitochondria :electrocute: :flex:
So like that woman doktor that healed herself with skeery amounts of kale and :egg: sercise it was probably a combination of shifting metabolic states towards ketosis, low/no carbs AND greater Nitric Oxide levelz boosting her mitochondrial might :flex: back up to a level that could deal with the EBV problem agin :angel:
In any event the main takeaway ... and the reason I was thinxzing of this ... in such cases it may be better to use a full body low level {Gauss} PEMF vs PEMFing a specific location. Also possibly siguie brand Liverman :superman: Thymus, spleen PEMFing could be the ways to goes :wiggle:
More Research is Needed :cheer: :bliss:

And... I missed :michafire: :bawling: :woe:
:hi: :michafire: :hugs:
And... I dunno where I've been. :chuckle: Axshully, I does. Been working outside & in. Springing :jump: early this year. :clap:
We wood chipped a massive pile of branches into a widdle pile of mulch. :faint: And covered a 24'x50' spot with temporary weed fabric to make a new garden spot for bigger amounts of ffutses. And seeded :tomatoe: and lotsa more.
Mom gotten a new iPad & I've been on call frequently. Seems they no longer has a home button & it's 'different' so she's really struggling. :therethere: Tech is so very hard for most octogenarians. :sigh: I honestly don't know much more than she does but I'm not afraid to figger it out. She won't.
And... Mom had a pretty significant shortness of breath episode yesterday that makes me :uhoh: . She admitted to feeling short of breath a couple other times, too. I strongly reminded her to speak up & pay attention so that maybe she can avoid another hopsickle 24-hours-on-her-back episode. Truly that was the worst part for her. It's been 5 months.
Anyway, she had PT (yes, she's doesing that for her back :cheer: ) & in telling the therapist about her shortness of breath the therapist stuck her thumbs up under Mom's ribs (Mom's words) & pushed & Mom said she felt an instant relief.
Elsewise... I noes what out of tolerance means. :woe: :b: is a Quality Engineer, Amembers? And this ain't his first rodeo at that he's used many a different calibration tools.
But anyway... yes, the :earth:
So sad. And gonna get sadder afore we break on through to the other side. :gheart:

Yeah I gots nuthin :sigh:
In other newses ...
Purty surez ... :siguie: right agin :yesss:
I took a twin coil in and forced a minion with a continuous glucose meter to pemf her pancrease :muaha: ... k tech :nickel: ly center back at lower rib level so ... liver, pancrease etc. BUT it werked :cheer: she's diabetic and borderline insulin dependent and trying not to be.
Anywho it's kinda cool ... she eats the same ffuts for lunch and has a reasonably consistent blood :suck: glucose graph so the PEMFing simply showed a slightly lower lunch spike and faster back to nermal-ish ... which for her is apparently between 120 and 130 ... which I thunked high for non-insulin :horror: but apparently not :dunno:
In any event she was happy to see a drop that went below 120 :yesss: ... so now wants to look into full body PEMF mats :roll: I gave her the asplination :blah: :blah: about fatty liver disease and the siguie theories on localized Liver/spleen/pancrease PEMF but minions really are not the sharpest toolz :sigh:
In any event very weak N=1 testing supports the general research that PEMF does :bump: insulin sensitivity and/or insulin production of pancreatic beta cells or both :dunno:
Now I kinda wish ghostghurl was around 'cuz she has a PEMF device AND is more into the regeneration/rejuvination of beta cells :sigh: 'cuz that's the next thang ... in theory PEMF should improve pancreatic function :yes: the caveat is that iron overload thang with ferroptosis which PEMF might make worserer :uhoh:
Oh wells I mentioned it :yes: and she can figurez it out herself ... I thunked for a bit about giving aways one of my beloved PEMF devices but it occurred to me ... minions are not the smatest :drama: she prolly would does better with a vastly inferior overpriced non-siguie brand system 'cuz she might still git the benefits without frying any electronics :electrocute: or ya noes liver/pancreas/spleen body bits :whistle:

Too bad your dad doesn't has a hired gardener to help him out. :spitcoffee:
But it's doog work for you. Keeps you grounded. :p And humble. :namaste:
:bsl:
So the energies... :wtf: :aaahhh: For 2-3 days now, so extremely intense. And my senior cats are awake most all night which is fine except for that they paw at me & want me awake, too! :zzz: Very restlos nights, tho I've been fine throughout the day.
:fullmoon: tomorrow so maybe that's what we're building towards.
But also a biggie :quake: in the Carribbeanish and swarming & volcanics in Santorini. :boom:
Mother :earth: is restlos, too. :wtf:
Here...flooding rain that wasn't forecast. :huh:
I just know I been hasing to double down on me... yogaing, :om: ing, watering me :flower: & :zzz: when I can.

Anywho the original theory was to time thangs so when it warmz up in February the front plants could be mooved out and repotted or durted in the veggie jail system and the next ones mooved from the germination area into the main hut.

Plaque Remover for Teeth by NATURE NERDS (https://amzn.to/4hzt6ln) <= Amazon link
The descaler werks really well :thumbs: AND it has some doog safeties and is an overall doog tool for cleaning off tartar and removing stains :thumbs: :thumbs:

The :tomatoe: sound wonderful. :rstars: I always has trouble with my :tomato: getting too big too fast for outdoorsing. It's not really a problem tho cuz we just trench them & make them smaller again. :chuckle:
Happy :fullmoon:
At least that's what they sez. It's still so dark & grey & sunlos/moonlos so I cannot verify that it is true. :woe:
But we gotten a SUDDEN invite to an early dinner at the new Chi-talian restaurant in town. :yes: None of us has been yet but it's getting rave reviews. Chicago-style Italian, whateverthatis. :chuckle: I am not a big pasta person but B & J are. :yes: I'm betting they has a salad. :chuckle:
But we're going with the gang...Mom, ZA, Matthew...so that will be nuf.
Elsewise... I got nothin.

Has nuf at the chicago italiano place :wave: I bet they has doog :pizza: :liplick: My favourite overpriced but way WAY better than I can make place went belly up during the covid dark ages :sigh: and now most places are just stoopid :egg: spensive and not as doog as mine :unthumbs:

K that was a LOT of :rain: in a purty short time frame :umbrella:
Only 1.42 inches but more than an inch came in an hour :sofa: and NOW it's time for the :blowme:
I'm hoping the road back to siguie manor stays open :uhoh:
In other newses ...
Dang you Thursdazed :gaah: :fist:
K so back to the regularly scheduled PEMF ffuts :wiggle:
Clearly PEMF werks doog :thumbs: and for a lot a LOT of thangs and in different ways ... apparently :dunno:
So I'm still trying to figurez out is a smaller more POWEFUL :superman: unit better than a low power full body mat or perchance sumthin mini mat sized with a :bump: in gauss :vibes: OR perchance just an over powered full body mat :flex:
Also it looks like most PEMF producers aim for a 2 to 3 Gauss :vibes: on account of a 2010 article {Health Physics December 2010 - Volume 99 - Issue 6} where there are some numbers based on magnetic flux and frequencies and some general hand waving arguments claiming what is safe and what should be considered risky. So presumably PEMF makers are aiming for the sweet spot between 1 and 3 Gauss which also happens to require minimal amounts of copper to produce and the copper coils are the :egg: spensive part :horror:
Anywho for general health and doogness it looks like a full body PEMF in that 2 to 3 Gauss range 1 to 3 timez a week for 20 to 30 minutes for most peoplez would be doog :yes: This is mostly ffuts from various studies on osteoperosis and the effect of PEMF on the 4 types of bone cells. Basically iffen yer not osteoperotic then once a week is a doog maintenance level :yes: vs iffen yer trying to heal a fracture then eberyday :yes: Though I'd use more power :vibes: for a borked bone ... just sayin :whistle:
Oh and the Square Wave is king : :hail: and I also like BipHasic {aka BiPolar} wave forms BUT there isn't much on these yet :nono:
Gota :run: :bye:

Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks. :fist:
Rocky start to the year. Everybody got the flu, including the baby. I had my hands full. Because I didn't get it. :ladybug: added insult to injury by coming down with walking pneumonia. All I got was a head cold. I don't get the flu. I don't know why, I just don't. :dunno:
Kaden is struggling, but it looks definitive; Sydenham Chorea. He's starting PT and OT, and needs to see neurologist, and infectious disease Drs in the big city up north. Just doesn't feel like it's fast enough. He has had 2 petite mals since he's been home. What is that about?
My eye is doing well with the injections. I'm scheduled for the laser photocoagulation in April. Short end of it, I had an eye stroke. Do not know the cause. All the tests came back fine. I think it's the effects of covid. Particularly this last bout I had. But a mystery it is.
Energy here is just plain mean. No other way to describe it. I've been sleeping like crap. Having dark dreams I can't quite remember. I have this sense of all heck breaking loose weather wise. Definitely feel fire and brimstone. It's as if nature is having a free for all.

Heya Pan :wave:
:glomp: :happydance:
I was getting slightly worried so it's great to has a catchup :yes:
Back in 2022 there was Nature article ... Understanding COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-022-00762-9) ... no don't bother reading it :nono: but the main conclusion blurb was ...
"The NHLBI's workshop on CAC was convened in May 2021, soon after the first SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern began to emerge. Highlighting the urgency of assembling such a conference, it was already widely known that thrombosis in the microvasculature and macrovasculature was a life-threatening complication of COVID-19, particularly for those with severe disease7,8,9,10,11,147. Equally disconcerting was the increasing recognition that a high percentage of patients with COVID-19 suffer from long-term sequelae (long COVID)48,49. Whether excessive coagulation, impaired fibrinolytic capacity and/or a prominent endotheliopathy might contribute to the pathogenesis of long COVID by extending an acute CAC to a chronic condition remains to be determined148,149."
... essentially there were and currently are a higher number of coagulation based issues including microvascular thrombosis and embolism related issues AND it's definitely covid related :yes: AND yes the covid vaccine isn't doog for this neether :nono:
To make it even more complicated the "autoimmune" relation is related to insulin resitance ... one of the reasons I mooved Dad towards a more keto diet :whistle:
In any event check Kayden's blood werk ... typically there's elevated A1c and elevated infalmmatory markers.
Seizures :faint: ... yeah I had to google that but I guess it happens :dunno: I thought this was one of those thangs that sucks to git but slooowly resolves on its own BUT yeah you'd think some professional tests and examinations woulda happened in the first week :club:
I'm really glad yer eye is getting better :hug: I was worried it might be something like what happened to Unicorn Princess :horror: I dunno iffen you amemberz but she was part of the original celestial reasonings and long LONG agoes I had a very sad message from her letting me know she could no longer see :bawling:
As for NRGeez yeah thangs are on the upswing and there's gonna be a :boom: or multiples :boom: :boom: :boom:

There are some peoplez and minions inerested now in small solar backup systems :yes:
Apparently 1 most don't unerstanz the minimum :electrocute: power needed to run whatever it is they wants :roll: nor how much solar is needed to recharge a system without the grid :drama:
Anywho here's a youtube video that is kinda what I would consider bare bones and worth the monies ... barely ...
Dirt-Cheap Solar Generator Setup - What Can It Power? (https://youtu.be/ELrQewHxjj0?si=WimjZ4ba-D5R6bcm)
The thang to unerstanz is anythin cheaper tends to be junk or more DIY than noobs can handle. The key component is the "solar generator" and really needs to be using LiFePO4 batteries. These are the ones that will not go :boom: AND will last more than 10 years. The nice thang is that at the $150+ starting price you also git decent UPS capabilities :yes:
The video person uses ecoflow which I'm not a fan of :unthumbs: but you can find equivalent Bluetti systems :yes: I has 3 and they are ALL werken great :thumbs:
Alternatively one can also just git a LiFePO4 UPS ... you wont be able to recharge it with the :sun: ... atleast not easily with all built in components BUT most people just want their wifi and TV to stay on as well as perchance a fridge so this is a doog ups option that can also be tweaked with timers to save money based on avoiding peak :electrocute: timez :angel:
Yeah I gots nuthin :sigh:
Kale and :tomato: time :horror:

Ya know Kaden did solar, and he explained all that stuff to me. It was interesting, and he thinks this old house could manage solar panels. He talked about how many, and the output, and how that all worked. I took a hot minute trying to understand all the maths ffuts. That is not my forte. But it is his.
We went through quite a :shiver: snap, but we are looking at milder temps now mid 30s to 40s. I'm ready for that. Had enough of the icy snow and ready for milder weather.
Where is :asiel: ? It's been a bit since she's posted. Hope all is okay in her neck of the woods.
Bugle is spitting out words, and he has such a sweet little voice. :wub: He's a sassy little guy, but a hoot to watch get into mischief. 25 months and the kid is all ready 3' tall. Getting picky with his food, and rebelling against veggies, but boy oh boy he loves fruit. The kid also has a taste for onions, peppers, and pickles. Definitely leans towards strong, savory food. He recognizes shapes and can say circle well. Triangle he says, but it's a tricky one. He also is picking up on color. Yellow and red, but yellow is a tricky word too. When he's about to drop or throw something he shouldn't be, he pre-emptively says "uh oh", drawing out the "oh" part. Honestly, he is such a light in my life.
:heart:
In Other Newses:
I saw this clip and WOW! Talk about a Job moment. https://apnews.com/article/chile-kayaking-tourism-whale-b0cafde4b640326f20a9da28003d6c26
Australia is really getting lower and lower on my to do list. Not only did they bag 100 red belly blacks, a venomous snake in a back garden in Sydney, but they've also discovered a larger more venomous funnel web spider. The new species can grow up to 3.5". Nope, not wanting to visit Australia much these days. :eek:
A pet Scottish Highland Bull named Waldo is loose in Connecticut. Waldo has evaded capture for days. Fluffy guy isn't all that aggressive, but they're advising not to chase him.
Denmark has offered to buy California. Okay, they're joking. Unfortunately, our current administration is NOT joking about taking Greenland. As well as, making Canada our 51st state, and seizing the Panama Canal. :faint:
So that's it for now. Hope ya'll are doing okay. :bye:

Maths is easy :peas: y :yes: the trick is making sensicalz of the numbers and how they pertain to you, yer needs and monies :stars: I thinxz ... most ... peoplez just are not ready for the intricacies of a FULL home system :nono: I wanted ones for years and years but waited until I new siguie manor needed a new roof :drama: and calculated in :electrocute: use for an :electrocute: car too :yes:
February is my "True Up" period with PG&E so I noes that overall I has to pay $212 for Gas and :electrocute: for the year :horror: BUT all together that's still less than $20 a month AND I paid nuthin for car fuel for the year :muaha: Gas in KalipHornia is ~$5.50 right now and I'd need ~$80 a week or about $4000 a year :faint:
Anywho, my roof solar finished paying for itself last year :yesss: so now it's paying off my commuting expenses as well as lights and heating cooling :happydance: BIG upfront costs :faint: but iffen you math doog it's obliviously very worth it :yes:
Thang is the first step is NOT figuring out how many panels you need or where to put them :nono: The first step in unerstanding where you use :electrocute: and how to maximize efficiency :angel:
Anywho most people just are not ready for that roof solar kind of commitment :drama: which is why I started the thread ... siguie brand solar (https://psifly.com/cr2/index.php?topic=26201.0) back in 2019 :yes: There are a lot of caveats and ffuts I figured out BUT for less than $200 you "can" install yer own :wheee: mini system :yes: That sed NOW I would recommend a Bifacial 200 Watt Solar Panel (https://amzn.to/41jb5kC) <= Amazon Link over the 100W nermal panel 'cuz bifacial panels are betterer and 200W woulda basically all I needed to go from 5kW per day to 1 or 2 kW :oz:
In any event most people prolly just want a small solar generator for when :electrocute: goes out and they need to charge their phones 'n wifi :oz:
"Where is :asiel: ? It's been a bit since she's posted. Hope all is okay in her neck of the woods."
No doubt playing in the durt :drama: it's her happy place :nono: she's :stun: like that :crazy: also it's that time of the year when she sacrifices baby plants to the gully washing doGs :cleanse:
Awww :wubsigh: Bugle stories :happydance: ... oh wow "triangle" :thumbs: Trouble with wurdz like that means he's just getting or has gotted his full mouf of teefs (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) The problem is the way one pronounces T and R including breath draw changes with teeths so the way he sez the wurd now has changed from when he learned it :yes: In any event yeah that's a noed developmental speaking thang :yes:

It's right in the zone where I can feelz it and is quite pleasant after 30 minutes :wub: There's a bit of a hum but not too bad AND I can hide them coilz under my :pillow: and has Alexa turn it off automagically :bliss:
That sed next up on the PEMF front I'm werken on using usb-C PD { :secret: Power Delivery} trigger modules :cheer: These are the thangs that let phones and tablets and lappy tops decide what voltage they git from usb-c PD ports. This way I can change the POWER :electrocute: to whateber I wants without hasing to use a different power supply or bulky regulators :wiggle:
Oh and MOSFET Trigger Switch Drivers too :yes: it sounds fancy schmancy and tech :nickel: but it's a much cheaper way to create siguie brand Multi Channel PEMF :yes: I made a dual channel using two H-Bridges but they is $20 each :faint: the trigger thangs are just one buckaroonie :cheer: They cannot does BiPolar {aka BiPhasic} :vibes: but my H-Bridges already can and I don't really need more than 2 channels for that :nono:

No doubt playing in the durt :drama: it's her happy place :nono: she's :stun: like that :crazy: also it's that time of the year when she sacrifices baby plants to the gully washing doGs :cleanse:
:farmninja: :bsl:
So sorry it's been so long. Time literally :run: by. :faint:
We had a stoopy cold snap so I was :frantic: covering baby plants rather than sacrificing them to :rain:
Oh & we also had 8" of :rain: but the only plants I has out yet are in the shipping crates so I could easily just put the lids on & save them. :umbrella:
Amazingly most everything survived the cold. Single digits. :no:
Pandora texteded me. :yes: :check: I tolded her that my habits have changed. Once upon a time I checked in here first thing every morning with my coffee which became tea. :yes: But since we gots fiberoptic & stream I now watch YouTube videos on the bedroom TV with my tea & breakfast & then I gets busy...in the guest room nursery or outside, weather permitting.
It's 70 degrees right now. 80 in the shade inside the plastic room on the veranda where I now sits. :chuckle:
I needs to develop a new habit of checking in here as I have afternoon tea. :yes:
All is well. Durt Mama had 12 sessions of PT that helped tremendously. Her biggest issue now has been her new iPad. :woe:
She wanted a new one but it's quite different from her old one. It has no home button!!! :no:
I'll spare the details but suffice it to say I threatened to take her old one away (it is very old & had gotten painfully slow) unless she gave herself a chance to get to know the new one. :hysterical: But I gots her apps & shortcuts to funeral homes. :yes: :spitcoffee: For reals, Mallory had made her a shortcut titled "I see dead people" with 4 funeral home obituary pages in it in OH & here. :rofl:
So now she says she wants an iphone. :huh: I first said, "WHY?" And then I said :no:
She wanted to be able to take peectures & have them automatically go onto her iPad "like Judy's does". :bsl:
She always had Samsung. Always been an androider. She ain't getting a steenkin iPhone. :rofl: But when I explained the differing ooperating systems & how I wouldn't be able to help her as easily with apple ffutses she let it go.
Elsewise... I been stocking up on doof. Seeding & planting more again & :b: is gonna start bringing more shipping crates home. :yes:
I wants at least 3 more.
The :earthheart: is breaking. :sigh: It had to happen cuz again... out of tolerance :p I mean :balance: :wig: :gle:
But boy oh boy the fascism & white supremacy & autocratic leadership is difficult to witness.
Y'all noes I don't like labels at all but iffin I had to put one on my political views I'd be a Democratic Socialist like Bernie. :wub:
This government is like a reverse Robin Hood. Steal from the poor to give to the rich. :sigh:
This too shall pass...

Once they break everything, & get arrested, then the 'good guys' can go in & build it right.

Yeah, :asiel: I'm that kinda thing... a progressive socialist. Not crazy at all about how this is all going. :sigh:
We had nice, balmy 40 degree weather today. But Sunday is lookin' to be in the 20s agins. But, :ladybug: comes in and says nope, Spring is on the way, I can smell it. I believe that. We'll get some :shiver: snaps but it'll be a bit warmer in longer time frames from now on I think. The only thing is, I keep thinking we might get a spring blizzard just before St Patrick's Day. I hope I'm wrong.
Bugle is really catching up with language. He's got two sentences now. He will bring over his toy and say, "Okay, here you go." and he will also say, "One, two, three, go!" and then start dancing. So dang cute. :wub:
It seems as if folks here are just angry and overwhelmed. Like, they're here, but not really; just going through the motions. One of :ladybug: 's friends is an academic advisor up at Buffalo State. She's being let go because of DOGE. At first they said her job was safe until 9/25, but now they're saying it's critical coverage of paychecks for the next month. She's not the only one there being affected by it.
Honestly, it feels as if the country is going to heck in a handcart. :(
I do feel we're gonna be in for it with weather this year. More so than ever. :eek: Nature ain't happy. We will see her push back on all levels.

Energies... :splat:
I am kennel cleaning today but I truly feel like I could go to bed & just sleep all day. :offtobed:
And yeah, Pan... Mother Earth ain't happy with us at all. :sigh: Well, some of us. :drama: :rofl:
I am so glad you gots a grandson & a houseful of loved ones to ride out this time in history with.
We did sign up for this. :yes: Don't know why :rofl: but I think we thought it would be 'fun'. :bsl:
Sigh...yes things are borked & yes most times they gotta be totally out of commission before anybody does anything about it...
BUT... it could be done without so much harm to the ones who have spent a lifetime struggling already. :sigh:
They are claiming they've found all this 'fraud' when really they are just cutting heads like a corporation. And they're making it sound like there are millions of freeloaders when I noes this is not true. It's very difficult to Axshully get services period. Especially In a red state.
The system is designed to keep people down. The 'useless eaters' as described by Ayn Rand in "Atlas Shrugged".
But they're about to reach the tipping point where people start rising up. :horror:
I mean...c'mon...minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. :gaah: And red states won't raise it unless the federal minimum forces them to.
Anyway... rant over. I knows lots more & have experienced lots more over my lifetime. I've seen a few "parasites", as Elon Musk called them :( , but not very many. Most are people who just want a leg up. Just need a boost.
But Sig, for reals, justify to me why the billionaires don't pay as much tax as someone making 50K a year? :popcorn:
Breaking from kennel cleaning.. :wiggle: The warm weather has triggered a hair storm. :frantic:
Sasha, the Norwegian forest cat, with her long hair & undercoat... :gaah: I noes she can't help it. But :dangjustdang:

K more energy reporting than :splat:
:bsl:
It feels as if gravity has been turned up to max level.
I have truly slogged uphill all day.
There is a new :moon: in just a few hours. 6:44 PM :elvis: time to be exact. :p
I just took my BP cuz my body feels so driew. Hard-to-describe driew. BP was 132/68 so that's not what is causing the driewness.
For reals, I feel like I could easily :faint: if I 'let' myself. :crazyeyes: And the ear squeal (not tinnitus :roll: ) is full force.
Oh & yesterday was delightful. :elfparty: :wiggle: Just a nice day with Mom. :wub:
Interestingly, one person at Lowe's came up to me & asked if the lady in red (she almost always wears red) was my Mom & I said :yes:
She said Mom reminded her so very much of her late mother :wub: and it just happened to be her late father's bday & her parents anniversary. :hearts:
Then...a couple hours later at another store in another town a lady came up to Mom this time & says, "You remind me so much of a beloved friend that I lost just a few years ago.". Then she said her name was Patricia, which is Zen Aunt's name. :huh: And ZA was standing right there.
I was hoping a 3rd person didn't say Mom reminded them of a dead person. :chuckle:
But after a delightful day this SUDDEN exhaustive-type feeling came over me prolly around 7:30 last night. :faint: :huh:
Added: I gots to turn off autocorrect cuz it sure doesn't like emojitalk. :nana: :cbutt:

I gots no personal complaints tho. :wiggle: Just hate to see peoples buying into the bigly Fear show. :horror: :gheart:
And :wish: ing for a planet that is more :balance: ed. There is plenty of everything to go around.
And no... I doesn't believe that ffuts oughta be equally divvied up :nonono: But I does believe that ffutses oughta be shared more than they are.

Who has a carpeted bathroom?
:bsl:
:horn: :michafire: Soooo nice to sees you. :hugs: I was just about to email you. :yes: :vibes:
Congrats on the new old temporary (or not :sparkle: ) boj! :righton:
And Sig... :sigh: I dunno where you gets info but his approval is falling. And buyer's remorse is rampant. The 'regular' people are :pissed: that he's not really interested in grocery or gas prices as he said he'd lower "On Day One".
And now his blaming of Ukraine for being attacked & public attempted shaming of Zelensky is losing him more & more support. Worldwide. :sigh:
The US (from the Executive Branch anyway) is now siding with Putin & Netanyahu.
You know he blackmails or threatens people to agree with him "or else"?
I'm not gonna argue with you. :nonono: I'll agree to disagree. But yes I see how he's beneficial to the wealthy. I've always seen that.
And I sees what you does about the 2 party system & each side basically undoing what the other done did as well as spinning it to their narrative.
But...he's different. He's not a 'side'. He wants to be the ONE. America is now under an autocrat.

:woe: I never believed he would/could lower gas or grocery prices. I'm just saying that's what he said & 'his' peoples beleebed him so THEY are :pissed:
His 'leadership' style is straight out of the authoritarian playbook tho. :yes:
And the tariff on tariff off thingy is :crazyeyes: :bsl:
But more importantly...
I had a dream the other night that YOU, :sigster: were at Mom's house, :yes: You were there for dinger and sitting on the sofa. :wiggle:
We were in the kitchen (it's an open floor plan) & you were quite happy & content.
There weren't a lot of details or anything. Just idle chatter & dinger making as we so often does at Mom's house. :yes:
So I wondered what that was all about & then yesterday Zen Aunt call. She called to tell me about the P.A. triathlete that she's known since she was a baby & how she'd been in for blood work (thyroid). Anyway, Kirsten tolded her that she was planning on working more (she had only been working 2 days a week) & that she had gotten tired of not being able to 'fix' anyone & tired of prescribing pills. So she (Kirsten) is taking classes in Naturopathic medicine. :cheer:
She said Kirsten told her the first thing she learned was that pretty much every ailment had a root cause in the biome. :chuckle:
So that opened the door for me to mention the keto again. :yes: First I heard about Jill (the friend who lost & gained 100 lbs) & I said "I'm not talking about you doing keto forever. Just a week or 2 at most.". And then I could tell something clicked. :yes:
Awhile later Mom calls & she tells me that she & Kirsten are gonna do keto for a week. :faint:
And then... I realized what the dream was about. :happydance:
They haven't started yet. :chuckle: :popcorn:

Also the biome thang being the root cause ... sorta :yes: :yes: :nono: ... thinxz of it more like a pHarm growding crops ... sure there are variations but most pHarmz in an area growd similar crops for a reason ... the main difference is the fertilizer how muches 'n when AND this is what tweaks the crop ratios :blob: :mushrooms:
Unless the biome is facing a post apocalyptic antibiotic :boom: purty muches eberyone has some of eberythang :yes: the trick is getting enough of the :blob: and :mushrooms: to grow that a person needz/wantz while weeding out the others :hayseed:
Anywhose it comes down to diet and no not probiotics and or all shrubbery :horror: but the doof that is right for the person at that time :om: or basically low carb, fermented doof and lotsa :cow: :cheer:

Here's the thang ... goesing carnivore is easier than going keto :oz: ... eating only carnivore for more than a few days is harder BUT going carnivore then tweaking to KetoVore well that's purty simple :yes: so I did that and 8 daze later :boom: keto-siguie :superman:
Thang is I likes ffuts like siguie-kraut and siguie brand :bean: sprouts not to mention siguie brand tofu is nigh carb free compared to store bought :carp: So all I had to does was replace sugar with allulose and make a reasonable keto bread and purty muches home freee :bliss:

In other newses ...
I've long been :egg: sperimenting with B1 :yes: It's important enough that doof has it added but of course most of that doof does it in the stoopiditiest way :woe: Like why is flour fortified with B1 ...

In other newses ...
I've long been :egg: sperimenting with B1 :yes: It's important enough that doof has it added but of course most of that doof does it in the stoopiditiest way :woe: Like why is flour fortified with B1 ... B1 cannot handle temperatures over ~160F and flour tastes raw below 190's :roll: Then of course B1 fortified breakfast cerealz :woe: Srsly the amount of B1 is less than the purging effects from the carbs AND that's without the added sugar :wall:
Anywho I has Thiamine {B1} as the hydrochloride and mononitrates but they is purty :yucky: so my new favourite ... Benfotiamine :yes: it's completely synthetic :wub: and unlike the other two oil soluble ... ya noes for keto :wiggle:
SO ... :whatever: ... purty sure Benfotiamine gummies fer Dad :angel:

:yawn: k fergetted the tie ins ...
B1 s essential for for mitochondria to generate NRGeezez :electrocute: 'cuz it's a cofactor in the cyclez :wheee:
Zinc also :bump: to mitochondria
Vitamin D also impacts mitochondria but more importantly there's a synergistic relationship with zinc.
Then of course there's vitamin C :flex: which helps undoes the oxidative stress of mitochondria mitoconjuring :mina: :rimshot:
Anywho B1 is needed for :electrocute: from both carbs AND oils BUT the kicker is carbs deplete B1 lickity splitz likes :yes: OR in other wurdz carbovores need more B1.
Also when I was researching my LiverMan :superman: PEMF ffuts and saw that 13% of dementia is reversible :woe: ... then there's that whole dementia link to the diabetus so I thunked perchance it's all a big B1 conspiracy :frantic:
Anywho actual B1 deficiency is purty rare but sub-clinical thiamine deficiency is :egg: tremely common espeeshully when alcohol :wine: and :smokes: are in the equation PLUS a ton of common medications too :yes:
There's no doog studies so far :drama: BUT I'm betting on a B1 NAFLD relation :yes: :share:

Note to self: Stop adding B1 to doof before cooking. :yes: :nonono: :nonono:
:spitcoffee:
And yes, :fullmoon: will be blood red for 65 minutes! :faint: :horror:
From about 1:35-2:35 AM. :sigh: :faint:
Hopefully the sky will be clear. I will get up to see. I'm experienced with getting up several times a night. :rofl:
Speaking of....does you have a recommend for me to help a cat (or 2) gain weight)?
Spanky, the 7 year old who had major congestion awhile back. He'd lost weight when he was sick & then filled out again, but now he's looking Skeletal once again.
And Sweets, the remaining yellow kitten (18) who eats well, but very little like a really old person. :chuckle: I am axshully less concerned about her cuz she's always been lean. She looks like Mom's late lawn boy who kept on weed eating & mowing well into his 90s. :chuckle:
I will cook them liver, or :cow:
Or I've wondered about a supplement, for Spanky in particular. There are numerous doof topper vitamin/high calorie supplements but if I had all the monies back that I've thrown away on :carp: they won't eat or drink... :nickel: :woe:
Anyway... I will give him homeopathic remedies for now. My suspicion is that it's feline leukemia but I always suspected Sunny had it & she lived to be 12. Spirit had FIV & he lived to the age of 11.
Go ahead & scoff at the homeopathics but does you know anyone else who has so many quite very old cats? :nonono:
And said cats are indoor/outdoor & 'everyone knows' that indoor/outdoor cats don't live as long. :hysterical:
I din't think so. :rofl:
And cuz I noes it's not a priority to amembers...
Sweets aka the Princess is 18y 7m
Shaggy 15y 7m
Swami 12y 6 m
Then we gots NextGen
Spanky 7y 9m
Snoop 5-6ish
Sasha 3-4ish
The latter 2 were young, but grown when they showed up. The rest were kittens.

I noes :cheer: now iffen only there's a few doog :cloud: breaks :pullhair:
"Speaking of....does you have a recommend for me to help a cat (or 2) gain weight)? "
Yes I does :yes: siguie brand scrambled :egg: s for :kitty:
No doubt you asked Mr.Google that question and gotted the oblivious answer ... mo calorie dense :roll: ... anywho make scrambled :egg: s and use butter and add some half 'n half or whipped cream { :secret: un :whip: ed}. The cream keeps the scrambles soft 'n fluffy :wub: and Sebastian growed up with this when we transitioned him to solid doof :yes:
Thang is this is a doog base and to keep it :balance: d nutritionally (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/ge.gif) and ineresting taste-wise I recommend :cheese: and proteins like shirimp, tuna, sardines minus bones :yes: Thang is saridnes are packed in oil and Sebastian was happy to guzzle the whole thang :yes: BUT you need to watch for bladder crystalz with male :kat: s.
K so here's the thang ... I started using the :kitty: bottle :missing: 'cuz it's high in eberythang but really :egg: spensive :faint: BUT the nice thang is that it's easy :peas: y to tweak the recipe to make it more or less calorie dense AND more or less appealing. Fer instance lower the fat content for more protein less calorie dense or sprinkle a little grated parm to make it more interesting smelly -wise. That sed Sebastian's favourite was :egg: butter and gruyere.
Also try putting out a little olive oil :yes: Sebastian was a connoisseur of olive oils :yes: he didn't like the spicy one BUT would happily lick a doogly amount of the lighter more :egg: spensive ones :gaah: oh and he lubed siguie brand garlic oil and parm spaghetti :wubsigh:
Oh and easy with the liver espeeshully for older furballz ... it's doog iffen they'll eat it BUT will be harder on their systems :horror:

The destroyed omem was pure sarcasm. :woe:
I noes :therethere: That's not your forte. :rofl:
Thanks for the ideas. :righton:
I found a can of salmon in the cupboard & he (Spanky) ate a little bit tho the others absolutely loved it. :chuckle:
He seems to just have little appetite. :sigh: I does believe he has leukemia so maybe I needs to focus on his immune system.
I have made kitten milk afores with raw egg & such. There was a powder I made with crushed vitamins & nutritional yeast. :scratch:
It's in one of my books. I has 2 very doog natural healing for animules books that include everything from TT to homeopathy to nutritional therapies to acupressure & more.
Sweets, the eldest, will eat most anything. Her mother, Sunny, ate pretty much everything I ate. :wubsigh: She too loved spaghetti.
But for Spanky it seems to be appetitelosness that's the biggest issue. When he was at the vet last time he gave him the antibiotic shot as well as cortisone. He said the steroid would make him hungry but it seemed to not does much. Except...the congestion cleared up. But now I hear a bit of wheezing.
I made him slightly scrambled :egg: when he was oh so sick & he refused it. I gave it to another :cat: :rofl:
At least there's little waste cuz there's always another somebody around who will eat what he doesn't.
If not a cat, Cookie will eat absolutely anything. :rofl:
But I will try with half & half (I buy that for Swami & sometimes Shaggy. They the only ones who request it :chuckle: )
And I axshully think I has a little bitty bit of butter IF it's not horribly stale. I had one stick, from Mom, back around the holidays & I don't even remember what for.
Anyway... I digress. :wub: :zanna: <--- full credit to Zanna
K.... GIB YAD! :sparkle: :fullmoon: :sparkle:
Did you noes this is the first of THREE blood :moon: s ???
September 7, 2025 & March 3, 2026.

B came home at 10 again yesterday but by noon I was done. :faint: I could not handle the :sun: Twas tachycardial & :heart: was fluttering.
It was radiation. And general eclipsical energies. On top of a full day in the :sun: the day before it was simply too much. I was feeling almost :sun: poisoned. (Yes :sigh: I've had sun poisoning before. In the spring. In Floriduh :sigh: )
But B was gelling with it & kept on working til he just couldn't work no mores. :faint: :hayseed:

Yeah none of that :buttkick: he's NOT a :kitty: and those home remedies are purty :unthumbs: and NO raw :egg: s unless you noes the chicken that layed it ... srsly or the pHarmer intermediary seller person :yes:
Ideally goat or :sheep: s milk not :cow: ALSO don't goes overboard first thang :thwack: just make a proper omelette to start ... a little butter for the pan a pinch of salt 1 egg and a 1 to 3 teaspoons per :egg: liquid ... that's teaspoons aka 5ml. The trick is to figure out what the eater likes THEN add the ffuts you want them eating :yes: Too much at once and you'll burn that bridge afores getting across it :frantic:
Keep in mind felines really only taste umami which is why they are drawn to high protein doof. The other doof like oils and fats are less attractive flavor-wise and more textural. The :egg: thang is just a high protein base that is easy to change texturally and easy to modify. NEVER use anything that might not be sensed as "fresh" they has keen (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) for a reason iffen sumthin might be spoiled they wont eat it AND will likely be trained to avoid that doof in the future. They like many stinky doof but NOT rancid ffuts :nono:
Sebastian lubed garlic :wub: BUT garlic is not doog for cats :horror: so I mostly used a little garlic oil and added Parmesan for him so he had the scents AND flavors he'd enjoy ... also warm spaghetti is like a mountain of mouse intestines ... prolly ... so he liked it warm and squishy :oz:
Anywho don't buy half 'n half just for that :nonono: see what oils he may like or :cheese: he don't need to eat eberythang but :kat: s are happy to show you what they like and what they don't :nono: Not to mention there are any number of better milk powder options including the ffuts made for :kitty: s :yes:

Awwww, :therethere:
I sawed it. :wub: Kinda. I gotted up at 1AM & saw a misshapen bit of a :fullmoon: being eclipsed. :yes:
But we had a light overcast as well. So when I gotted up again about 2AM I could see a dark spot where the :fullmoon: was apposta be but it was anything BUT blood red. :sigh: It was just too :cloud: y. But not so much as to totally obscure.
You prolly coulda gotted doog images with yer See-Star & friends. :yes:
BUT... I felt it. :sparkle: :wtf:
And no I din't use words wrong. :wedgie: Tachycardia....fast heart rate. Was not too bad, just 100ish. BUT... I wasn't doesing anything other than standing out side. And fluttery... my word, not a medical term as far as I know but it feels like :butterfly: in my chest. And the rest of my body vibrates noticeably on the insides as well.
It's connected to the solar ffutses. And it's also connected to my family genetical ffuts. All 3 of Dad's siblings AND my paternal grandmother had pacemakers. They all has :electrocute: ffutses with their :heart: s. The 2 aunts & grandmother (not the uncle) all had hyperthyroid as well tho every single one of them drank the kool aid & now has/had hypothyroidism as a result. :nonono:
But it's fine. I gotted indoors. Drank a Body Armor And some waters. And I was back to whatever lamron is for me in no time. :wiggle:
I'm different, amembers? :pie: I feel things. I hear things.
I don't talk about it any more cuz nobody that cares (or believes) is still around & you will just argue that what I feel is somehow wrong. :buttkick:
But I've learnt that during high solar activity...as well as many other times as the :earth: increases in frequency, I need LOTS of waters & more electrolytes. Axshully, I benefit from that most all the time but sometimes way more than others.
Oh & yesterday I could see things. :yes: I could not describe but yesterday afternoon with the sunlight I could see everything kinda sorta wavy, or morphing, or something like you'd see in a sci-fi show as they are going through a portal. It was super cool. :yes:
I tried to explain it to :b: & he is like you, :sigster: He was like, "Are you SURE you're not having a stroke?". :chuckle:
I says, "Yes, dear. I am sure. I feels fine."
So mostly I experience the melding, merging, changing &/or separating of dimensions in silence.

Happy GREEN Day! :shamrock: :4leafclover: :greenbeer: :bsl:
St Patrick's Day is not a thang in the south. :dunno: It was a fairly big deal in Ohio. :wiggle: Especially at the bars :beerme: but also all the restaurants & clubs served corned beef & cabbage.
Mom was disappointed that she couldn't find corned beef & cabbage anywhere when she moved here so she began cooking her own. :wiggle:
Elsewise, we dodged the :twister: s. :cheer: We went to Murray in the rain on Caturday. :elfparty:
Today we were apposta go to the License Bureau & get "Real IDs" :roll: but mainly my driver's license is expired. :scared: I hadn't even realized cuz in Tanasi you only renew every 8 years. :huh: It's every 4 years in both OH & KY.
But J ack I woke up sick. :sigh: :faint: Axshully, in hindsight she was getting puny yesterday. :yes:
Fever, chills, pain. And she's in bed. :offtobed: No respiratory ffutses as of yet.
So it's either flu...or there's gonna be a real big :quake: somewhere. For reals, she's had symptoms like this before major :quake: s in the past.
Oh... & France wants the US to return the Statue of Liberty!

She gots the flu. :yes: No test, but many years of motherdom tells me so. :yes:
She spent all day yesterday in bed & was oh so sweet & pleasant during our brief interactions.
Today she was up about 90 minutes but is crankier so I noes she's getting better. :chuckle:
Got some fluids in her but still no doof.
I am un-winterizing the veranda. It just came to me last night that THOR will be back in about 2 weeks!! :cheer: :wub:
The veranda has proven to be the best place for hanging the feeders cuz even when it's raining they can be under the eave of the metal roof & still at the feeders. :wub: Plus, they seem to like zipping in & out of the posts. :chuckle: You just gotta keep your head up when yer out there. :tinhat:
Anyway, it's gorgeous outside but I didn't wanna get far from the house & didn't really wanna get dirty so this is a doog boj for today. :wiggle:
:b: put it up really, really well. :faint: It's survived many :rain: and :blowme:
But there's about 250 more staples to remove to get it down. :rofl: For reals. He put 2x4s across the middle & at the bottom & side top (cuz it's angled to the roof) so as to have something to staple to. Then I ripped strips of old sheet to staple through & he stapled above & below the 2x4s so as to keep the plastic tight. We noes from :hula: hooping that :blowme: damage happens in association with slack. :buttkick:
I gots the center wall down. Now it'st just the 2 outside ones to goes. :wiggle:
So I had to cancel our Pooh's Corner show for tomorrow. :sigh: Mom & ZA were going too. I called the box office & asked them to gift our tickets to anyone who might walk up today or tomorrow & if not, donate the $40 to the Dixie. Tis the Dixie Carter Center where J had so many arts classes & programs. :wub:
And then I had to postpone my hair appointment. :yes: I haven't had a haircut since September!!! :bsl: It's finally back to where I wants it, but I does need a shape up. And Heather, my stylist in Jackson, was taking HER daughter in for a flu test! :faint: Yzarc. :crazyeyes:
Funny that I can go weeks without an appointment or commitment but ... :woe:

:huh: Odd :scratch: the seasonal flu is mostly trending down now which is nermal since the flu :cs: tends to peak between December and February BUT the us flu map shows tanassi is high on the cusp of Very High link (https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/surveillance/usmap.html) :hmm2:
The thang is there's a shipping corridor that goes thru tanassi but iffen that was the transmission route :rimshot: there'd be a :bump: in yer neighboring states 'cuz they also has larger populations :yes: I'd need a tanassi closeup of the various counties and flu serveilance BUT there was prolly a BIG event that had a severe spread and now it's just oozing around :blob: the state :yes:
Ya seez china has another pandemonical thang goesing around so I've been :check: ing but so far not muches here :dunno:
I hopes ghurl childe feelz better ... soon ... :therethere:
Yup commitments is neber a doog idea :nono:
" We noes from :hula: hooping that :blowme: damage happens in association with slack. :buttkick:"
Ya needed to learnz that from the :hula: hoops :woe: it's the main cause of flag tatter espeeshully the edges which git :whip: ed doog then there's the whole sail trimming thang :yes:
Bummer about Pooh's Korner though :sigh: I quite likes A.A. Milne :wub:
Has nuf not durting :wave: the sprang equinoxical is gonna be Thursdazed :horror: :no:

Tanasi has 8 neighboring states. I think it's the mostest of anyone. :huh:
I think it's fascinating at how border lines were originally drawn.
We were in Murray on Saturday which is just over the line so I told J she has the Murray flu. :chuckle:
There are just as many Tanassians out & about in Murray as Kentuckians. Plus, Murray State is there so there are always lots of college students out & about & they come from everywhere.
So Mom's next door neighbor is a state popo. :yes: And he has 2 flags aflyin'. One is a black US flag. Black on black. Supposedly it means "no safe harbor". :sigh: And the other one is a US flag with a blue stripe for support of the popo.
But I find it amusing when I'm there that BOTH his flags are nearly 50% tattered meaning they is tattered halfway across. :rofl:
They are on a pole in front of the house, quite visible. And I wonder if he even realizes that flying flags in such disrepair is disrespectful.
:woe:
So Jacki is much perkier but still dealing with a general GI disturbance in the force. :scared: This is our recurring rodeo tho so we're getting her back in order.
Oh & I have perfected rice without a rice cooker or instant pot. :p From an Asian person's blog awhile back...
I soak the rice while the water comes to a boil then rinse it thoroughly.
Add rice to boiling water, reduce heat cover & simmer as per usual.
BUT...only cook 12 minutes. Or until it's mostly absorbed the water but not done.
Then remove lid & cover with a thick kitchen towel.
Put lid on towel & let sit another 10 minutes.
Perfect every time! :happydance:
And I use jasmine rice. 1 c rice to 1 1/2 c water.
:wiggle:
Tomorrow is :spring: Equinox.
We could has snow flurries! :no:

"Oh & I have perfected rice without a rice cooker or instant pot. :p From an Asian person's blog awhile back.."
Wow that's a lot of werk :faint: yer asian person is using a Thai steamer combo trick also meant to remove more amylopectin as compared to the other starch amylose which makes ita little less sticky on the outside and a little more toothier on the inside ... and to not has to contend with the watery amounts as specifically :nono:
For Jasmine rice most asians would just rinse the ffuts and use the first knuckle trick :yes: ... and I would just use the microwave :dunno:
The thang is most people don't unerstanz the difference between "steamed" rice and "boiled/simmered" rice :nono: I use the Instant Pot for steamed rice and a real steamer for steamed glutenous rice like for delicious Thai coconut mango rice :drool:
Srsly though try the knuckle trick and a microwave rice cooker ... much easier and lots fasterer :thumbs:
"Tanasi has 8 neighboring states. I think it's the mostest of anyone. :huh: "
Yeah but that don't really effect the way a flu spreads and gits reported :nono: Most likely is it's a zero event thang or a combination of thangs that occurred in Nashville and or Memphis then slooowly spread to the rest of the state ... prolly December-ish since that's xmas :santa: and tanassi sucks at masking :oz:
Well I is glad J ack i is doesing betterer :beerme:

So Jacki is back to being argumentative & bossy & chatty.
:bsl:
But :b: took Spanky back in today for the 3rd time in 6 or so months.
Seems he has an enlarged :heart: and CHF.
So I reckon we gonna try some Lasix.
:sigh:
I read. The average lifespan after diagnosis is 11 days. :faint:
Of courses, our animules are kaerf. :shera:
So we shall see.
He's the one I was asking about putting on weight. He didn't eat the scrambled :egg: Or salmon. Or tuna.
I have a feeling that it's gonna be a rough year cat-wise. We could easily be down to 2 by year's end. :sigh:
Time will tell.

:sigh: Um why lasix? :scratch: That will treat one symptom kill his kidneys and make any remaining time he has rather unpleasant :bawling:
I'd recommend pushing Taurine and :cs: :yes: He's most likely failing to thrive from an infection that he's over or ... mostly ... over and is too weak to recover from the "stress". Colloidal silver is just a doog thang in general :om: but is particularly doog for kidney and bladder :blob: s because it gits concentrated there afores :peepants: Oh and Taurine deficiency is just very common in older :kitty: s 'cuz they eat ultraprocessed :kat: doof their entire lives :drama: Srsly ask Mr.Google about Taurine and older cats ... it's a noed thang :yes: Also espeeshully in regards to enlarged :heart: and CHF ffuts which is why I thunked it :oz:

Ultraprocessed doof! :woe:
It's a thang, isn't it?
:bsl:
And yes, I noes about taurine. One cannot keep cats their entire life without noesing that. :crazyeyes:
When I made my own doof I always added taurine. AND..since Wednesday when B took Spanky in I noes about taurine deficiency & enlarged hearts. :yes:
The Lasix has made him oh so much more comfortable. He was laboring. And this has been going on awhile. We thunk leukemia of FIP but he tested negative for both. He had considerable fluid around his heart & it was so enlarged that it was squeezing his one (left? I forgot cuz I wasn't there) lung.
AND...he's not old. :nonono: He's 7. Almost as old as you! :wedgie:
I ordered sardine & anchovy oil :yucky: specifically formulated for :kitty: and I will make sure he gets :cs: regularly.
But I believe the lasix is valuable right now. After one dose he ate for the first time in days. Drank a goodly amount of water. Peed in I dunno how long. And axshully came out & hung with eeerybody rather than hang in the nursery with the plants. Although he may axshully breathe better in there. :treehug:
He's always been a nursery boy. :wub: :wiggle:
Anyway... I can also supplement taurine as I noes it won't hurt. But I beleeb he's had a congenital :heart: thingy.
The vet kinda felt that too but they are a country vet clinic that treats everything from ferrets to birds to pigs & cows & horses & they don't have diagnostics beyond x-ray & lab.
Him having had a :heart: condition also explains why the last antibiotic injection & steroid injection nearly killt him. :yes: For reals...he was clinging to life for nearly 3 days after the shots. :sigh:
The other longer-term clue is that he's Butch's boy. They are buddies. :righton: And pets & owners often 'share' ailments. Rather, pets often take on ailments for/with their owners. It's a thang. :pie:
He gets a tiny dose. 1cc of Furosemide syrup 1% (10mg/ml) For 7-10 days & then we re-evaluate.
He Is improving though. :wiggle: You noes I don't accept fatal diagnoses. :no:
Today is the first full day of :spring: and I feels so much lighter. :bliss:
Maybe it's becuz J is nearly back in the game, or maybe it's cuz Spanky is improving, or maybe it's cuz the energies has shifted & there are wonderful things on the horizon. OR maybe we're on the verge of an :earth: shattering event cuz I usually feel incredible doog right before. :oz:
Anyway... I gonna roll with it & vacuum & then go play in the :sun: shine...
No grocery shopping today cuz J is still not 100%. But becuz she was ill I didn't really cook much all week so we gots lots of vegetables that need to be chopped & steamed or sauteed or souped of stir-unfried or stewed or something... :bliss:

Omigosh, :b: usta love bratwurst & liverwurst & sauerkraut. Also braunschweiger. :yucky: The sauerkraut is the only thing I'd eat, even way back when.
He's 1/4 German, 1/4 Hungarian, amembers? :yes:
And I ordered what I think is a doog brand of Omega 3 fish oil. Nordic naturals. Processed in Norway. Supposedly wild caught, sustainable, :blah: :blah: :blah: I can does sardines but it's really like dumping chum into the ocean. :frantic: :cat: :cat: :cat: :cat: :kitty: :kitty:
I try to find affordable ffutses that will benefit all as it's super hard to feed one differently all the time. I mean, I can give him different doof, stand guard :flex: , but iffin he walks away or I turn my head, someone else gobbles it all up. :rofl:
I gotted a Rachel Ray dry kibble Chicken with lentils & salmon. that has 34% protein.
I had been feeding a Purina One tender selects chicken (cuz they all ate it without puking & it smelled better than the cheaper ffuts) & just realized it only has 14% protein. :faint:
And the :heart: thang comment is cuz the vet had said when Swami was in that they could not give a steroid shot cuz of his heart murmur.
She said it could kill him.
Anyway... I does the best I can & I axshully think it's pretty doog. The vets all :faint: at how old my cats are & at how uncommon.
And we've avoided vets in large part up until recently. :sigh:
So Princess is the eldest at 18y 7mos The one-eyed last yellow cat :cat: standing. :shera:
Shaggy 15
Swami 12
Then NextGen is
Spanky 7
Snoopy 4-5ish
Sasha 3-4ish
I wouldn't be surprised if we were down to 2 by year's end. :luvcry: Snoop & Sasha.
But what does I know?
I thought for sure that Princess would not live past 5 cuz she was a wild child & always into something.

K so ya does noes that them Frank-N-Furterz :sigster: are generally between 50% and 80% :horn: FAT right ... :whistle:
Anywho I gotted Dad to be keto-adjacent ... basicallly very low calorie with the :pie: :egg: ception so he's in the metabolical switchy category 8) This means them wieners are winners :cheer: and a doog option AND with Liverwurst ya gits all them liver benefits without the :yucky: PLUS siguie brand kraut is packed with doogness :wubsigh: and no carbs :nono:
For :b: a carbavorian following Dr.E's protocol-ish ... that ffuts would killz him :horror:
"And I ordered what I think is a doog brand of Omega 3 fish oil. Nordic naturals."
Ok I did quite likes Green Pasture's fermented cod liver oil :thumbs: but it's pricey :faint: I thinxz the Bestest and well tested cod liver oil is Carlson :yes: I likes the lemon one Amazon link but it's $45 :eek: so now I'm trying Horbäach Cod Liver Oil Amazon link it's about 1/3 the price and seems quite doog :yes:
"And the :heart: thang comment is cuz the vet had said when Swami was in that they could not give a steroid shot cuz of his heart murmur.
She said it could kill him."
Well :duh: a :heart: murmur is a sound that means there's a leaky valve and anythin that alters the flow or pressure can make it go :boom: So you need to choose steroids and or antibiotics that do not make thangs worserer or has known :heart: murmur :boom: effects obliviously :yes: This don't mean ALL antibiotics and steroids are verboten :nono: ya just need to unerstanz what's going on and weigh the risks :angel:
"I gotted a Rachel Ray dry kibble Chicken with lentils & salmon. that has 34% protein."
:woe: Um yeah that's called marketing :carp: people assume the protein is the doog thangs listed but they is not :nono: you should look at how protein is tested 'cuz it's not what you thinxz :nono: Also ask Mr.Google about which pet foods source materials from China :whistle:
I'll gives you a hint ... Chinese milk formula for infant hoomans has "high protein" as is required and they keep boosting the "protein" until the kids started ... not doesing well :whistle: Anywho :secret: melamine it's protein-like :whistle:
Anywho I would sez make a sardine mash, add olive oil until it's runny ... put it in a syringe and put the whole thing in the fridge to firm up. Then when you see the victim aka intended recipient let him smell the syringe and squirt a little out for him ... then put the rest back in the fridge when he's finished :angel:

Anywho I gotted Dad to be keto-adjacent ... basicallly very low calorie with the :pie: :egg: ception so he's in the metabolical switchy category 8) This means them wieners are winners :cheer: and a doog option AND with Liverwurst ya gits all them liver benefits without the :yucky: PLUS siguie brand kraut is packed with doogness :wubsigh: and no carbs :nono:
For :b: a carbavorian following Dr.E's protocol-ish ... that ffuts would killz him :horror:
"And I ordered what I think is a doog brand of Omega 3 fish oil. Nordic naturals."
Ok I did quite likes Green Pasture's fermented cod liver oil :thumbs: but it's pricey :faint: I thinxz the Bestest and well tested cod liver oil is Carlson :yes: I likes the lemon one Amazon link but it's $45 :eek: so now I'm trying Horbäach Cod Liver Oil Amazon link it's about 1/3 the price and seems quite doog :yes:

Well :duh: a :heart: murmur is a sound that means there's a leaky valve and anythin that alters the flow or pressure can make it go :boom: So you need to choose steroids and or antibiotics that do not make thangs worserer or has known :heart: murmur :boom: effects obliviously :yes: This don't mean ALL antibiotics and steroids are verboten :nono: ya just need to unerstanz what's going on and weigh the risks :angel:
"I gotted a Rachel Ray dry kibble Chicken with lentils & salmon. that has 34% protein."
:woe: Um yeah that's called marketing :carp: people assume the protein is the doog thangs listed but they is not :nono: you should look at how protein is tested 'cuz it's not what you thinxz :nono: Also ask Mr.Google about which pet foods source materials from China :whistle:
I'll gives you a hint ... Chinese milk formula for infant hoomans has "high protein" as is required and they keep boosting the "protein" until the kids started ... not doesing well :whistle: Anywho :secret: melamine it's protein-like :whistle:
Anywho I would sez make a sardine mash, add olive oil until it's runny ... put it in a syringe and put the whole thing in the fridge to firm up. Then when you see the victim aka intended recipient let him smell the syringe and squirt a little out for him ... then put the rest back in the fridge when he's finished :angel:

So iffin it's nermal for shrubbery types then why didn't I get it when I'm the shrubbiest of us all? :scratch:
So yesterday they were both feeling better but still on the edge so I wanted to cook something to help keep them from falling into the abyss.
I asked what sounded doog.
B said "Mashed :tater: ".
I says, "Yako, but what with?"
J says, "Baked chicken breast!"
I says :huh:
She never requests anything like that. And for years has claimed that she doesn't like chicken. :huh:
So I took it as a message & I boughted bonelos chicken breast for the first time in prolly 3 years. :faint:
I even ate a couple bites. :uhoh: :chuckle:
Today they both proclaim that they are well. :wig: :gle:
Spanky tho... he absolutely will not eat the sardines. :sealed: He's not eating anything yesterday or today. I've offered everything we have...2 different flavors of canned doof, dry doof, tuna, sardines, scrambled egg.
You think I oughta hit pause on the lasix?
I think he's got a :heart: issue that can't be fixed. :sigh:
All my critters were throwaways, ya noes? They ALL have some sort of issue due to bad genes &/or harsh lifestyle.
But they're all :shera:

You does noes that J ack I is the LEAST shrubby one of us all? :pie:
:b: is the second least shrubby. :yes: And yes, he eats more lean chicken or fish (mostly tuna) than he once did. He has to.
Me? Notsomuch. :p But I've been this way all my life. :wiggle:
But it's all doog. We all has to listen to our own bodies & do our own thang. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
As for Spanky.... I had some cooked :carrot: and smooshed. He wants nothing. I've tried everything. He pulls away as if it makes him nauseous just to smell it. And his nose is starting to run again as well as one eye. He's dying. :luvcry: Unfortunately I noes the signs. :sigh:
And in hindsight his 'illness' for the past 6 months has been CHF. The first time we took him in the vet said he had a widdle cold.
The second time (same URI symptoms plus significant weight loss) the vet suspected feline leukemia (as did I) but we denied testing.
This last time (different vet, same office) he felt enlargement in his chest & did x-ray & more testing.
But the cold-like symptoms, weight loss, plus he'd been isolating wanting to sleep in Jacki's closet.
The internet says average lifespan after enlarged heart with CHF diagnosis is 11 days. That's becuz it's so advanced before it's diagnosed.
:dangjustdang:
We're still adjusting to the absence of Stripes. :sigh:
After so very long taking care of her & making sure all are accounted for...one less :cat: has left a gaping hole.
And we ain't done lessening yet. :sigh:

And :thanks: I noes it's time for :cat: s to goes. :sigh: It's freedom, for me especially. Freedom from caretaking...or cattaking. :chuckle:
But still, with each goes a piece of my :heart:
Spanky is a fighter. :flex: We're taking him back to the vet today & he's gonna x-ray the :heart: to see what he can see. He said last week he really couldn't see much due to all the fluid. He's still not eating, & drinking very little, but still shows up at feeding time just to sit & watch the others I guess. And still comes to greet us. Yesterday I lost sight of him outside & thunk :uhoh: But when I called him he came out from under the veranda & just sat at my feet like, "I'm here. Whatcha want?". :huh: He also said he could give him a B12 shot today for sure & that maybe it would help stimulate an appetite.
Remember.... It's not just the final Thursdaze of the week... It's ALMOST FRIDAY!!! :rstars:

We overwintered a LOT this year & all but the tropicalest of tropicals were ready to come out.
The Feeders were hung but I had yet to make any doof so soon as I saw him I :run: to make some doof & now the feeders are ready.
They really don't care so much about the feeders at first cuz their favorite doof is red buckeye flowers & we have oodles & oddles & oodles of red buckeye bushes/trees in our forest. :bliss: :happydance: We also has a LOT of flowering trees right now. :wubsigh: The redbuds are spectacular :flowerom: and the dogwoods are shining. The crabapples are still full, tho they are FULL of pollinators. :chuckle:
Speaking of tropicals tho... I'ze just about to has a hibiscus flower in the house! :happydance: :rofl:
Astrologically speaking, this week is apposta be the last really intense one as of late. Still :crazy: through mid-April tho. :flower:
That big :butt: black hole sunspot is coming around towards us later this week, too. :tinhat: :sofa:

"Oh I amember you speaking of the tofu dregs a few years ago. :sigh: "
Yeah it's always been a thang in China :horror: and there has always been unasplainable crashes, implosions and thangs just falling apart not to mention wacky high levels of radiation in their building materials as well as unasplainable thangs like pregnant chinese wiminz with high levels of lithium ... right now this is a thang in Beijing :horror:
Anywho the point is the building practices used should be avoided and this is sometimez referred to as a Tofu Dregs :egg: sport :roll:
"So very much destruction I don't know where they'd begin."
Honestly there's just 3 to 5 days to find survivors ... then for the most part they'll be waiting for the civil war to end. Humanitarian aid will pour in but other than temporary popup hopsickles, doof rations and some medical supplies are all that can really be expected to be of any use. Both sides of the war will use whatever they can git to help their side and the countries providing aid will mostly use this as a way to show they are "doog" and doing eberythang they can :roll: ... that's just how these thangs go :sigh:
Heya THOR ⚡🔨💪 :wave:
"... their favorite doof is red buckeye flowers ..."
K that's prolly a tanassi thang Dad's mumbling boidz actually seem to prefer honeysuckle and aloe flowers ... the aloe was kinda surprising BUT they is poifect for getting a doog look at the boidz since the :flower: s are like cone pyramids on a stalk that goes above the plant :yes: They just git losteded in the honeysuckle :oz:
"That big :butt: black hole sunspot is coming around towards us later this week, too. :tinhat: :sofa: "
Ya mean when the next round of :rain: comes in :gaah:
In other newses ...
I may has gotted a minion inerested in keto :yes: She was wunderin what I eated nermally so I pointed out the not keto but metabolical switchy thang and pointed to siguie brand lunch. Basically it's just bratwurst and siguie kraut but I likes spicy so there's also a hot italian sausage and mixed with the kraut ... store bought kimchi and pickled jalapenos :liplick:
Anywho, the thangs keto newbs do not unerstanz is the need for salt AND oil :yes: Oh and I mentioned that iffen she wants weight loss the trick is less oil and more lean protein BUT not so muches protein relative to oil that yer body decides it can goes protein neogenesis on yer :butt: :naughty:
Oh yeah and coinkadinkally siguie brand fermented doof and of course sprouts are all keto friendly :mat:

Well of course they are. :roll: :rofl:
So the red buckeye is a native plant & it's just their favorite FIRST doof. It's blossoms will be gone soon.
They tunnel into foxglove like your aloe. And yes I noes foxglove is digitalis & I noes it is toxic but my critters don't eat plants.
We cannot has outdoor aloe cuz well...we gets the best of the heat :heat: and the best of the cold :shiver: :bsl:
Not quite as extreme as the desert but still...
This past winter we did not have any really stoopy too cold, thankfully. When we do, we lose crepe myrtles & more. Tis why ya gotta be tough to live on the mountain. :shera:
Yes, rain coming here from tomorrow thru Sunday. :no: I gotta go start on the mowing today. :frantic: It's getting to be the chasing Nature season. :bliss:
As for the :quake: 'relief'. We can do better as a people. :sigh: That's part of why the :earth: is going through a reckoning of sorts. We are apposta do better. :shera: :rainbow:

:aaahhh: :bsl:
Seriously intense energies. :wtf: Maybe it's the incoming torrential rains & stuff, or maybe it's :sun: or whatever. :whatever:
But I hear it, I feel it, and my body is longing for seawater. :rofl:
J also has a pancreatic flare up at present. She slept til after noon today :faint: & was rather zombified yesterday as well.
Sitting here at the table I feel as though I'm on a boat in choppy waters. :luna: I noes choppy waters cuz I growed up on Lake Erie, amember?
And lest you not noes Lake Erie is the shallowest of all the Great Lakes & the waters can turn on a dime. We were taught to always be aware, especially iffin we were in a sailboat or dinghy. My best friend had a 16' Boston Whaler & it was no fun when the water kicked up. :uhoh: :rofl:

"And :yes: if you talking about J & sugars (simple carbs :p ) in particular. :roll: I noes about pancreatitis & insulin & diabetes & such. :yes: "
Unless she has hypertriglyceridemia carbs will cause pancreatitis the same way oil can ... it's an enzyme thang ... so no I was thinking about ALL the other thangs. :horror:
For instance psoriasis is hereditary AND even though J may not present with psoriasis her inflammatory responses may include those similar to those with psoriasis and obliviously since that is sumthin that increases the chances of pancreatitis it's sumthin to keep in mind since she might need more of the thangs that keeps B's psoriasis low.
Anywho I was really thinking more about all her surgeries and digestive ffuts and the fact that those with chronic pancreatitis tend to be low in many nutrients due to them digestive thangs.
THEN of course there's Zinc but then she was the only one who seemed to has the minimum amount which is actually a bit odd :huh: and of course duh Du DUNNN :fin: vitamin B1 :cheer: ... yeah just ask Mr.Google "vitamin b1 pancreatitis" ... 'cuz I noes B1 and there's a lot a LOT espeeshully for carbovorianz :roll:
Oh and then of course there's the one where I've politely not sed nuthin abouts 'cuz it will just set you off with all these past :egg: sperience and mommaknowledgez ffuts BUT most peoplez really cannot tellz the difference from pancreatitis and gallbladder issues and most oily problems are predominantly gallbladdery problems. Sure it can spillz over to Mr. Pancreas but there's a reason why bile salts helps so many with "pancreatitis" problems.
Oh but to answer yer question more succinctly Nu uh :nono:

K it's still a tad hazy BUT there's a :rain: / :cloud: break so I has a night vision thang viewing in the South West ... this is on account of Mr. :sun: goesing doog night in the West so when the sky goes dark the satelites git illuminated from underneath and are often easier to see :cheer:
Anywho this is a 96 second video of about 45 minutes of night capture so about 30x speeded up video link (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/sw04022025.webm) ... as :egg: spected there are a few satelites that :run: by BUT there's sumthin odd that shows up from the left at about the 40 second mark :huh: No it's not the :moon: that was already far westier and a crescent cup facing up. Tech :nickel: lthe thang s not mooving it's just following the sky motion ... and yes there are some twinklez :sparkle: from atmospherical unsettling ffuts AND not a planet neether ... it's prolly not really :pie: wedge shaped :nono: but dang that one is a head :scratch: er ... prolly not alien BUT not oblivious neether so it's my first doog hit :yesss:
Oh and this is the aformetioned siguie brand North-Southonator proof of concept video link (https://psifly.com/siguie/files/ns.mp4). The back story is I wanted to unerstanz the induced effect on a non-charged system when hit with unipolar :electrocute: :buttkick: ya seez iffen a neutral thang is made positive or :vibes: to the North then in order to maintain :balance: the system needz to goes the other way to appease mommy nature :harmony:
Anywho I figured out how to shows that :yesss: then coinkadinkally I noticed the properties were in the ballpark for lighting an LED and 'cuz eberyone noes that LEDs are polar modules I put two together and crossed the streams polarities and made the North-Southonator :cheer:
FYI: the top coil is not being powered :electrocute: it's basically a wireless Qi like system so the orientation of the coil is picking up :vibes: from the powered ones below it which thus provides the :electrocute: that powers the LEDs. Since the LEDs only light when the :electrocute: goes one way {polarized module} one LED glows one way and flipping the ring makes the other glow. In other wurdz one LED glows for North orientation while the other glows for South :angel:
I thunked it cool 'cuz the PEMF powers the LEDs so no batteries needed :nono: and it also shows the PEMF is ON as well as the coil orientation. Elsewise there are people doing lots of silly ffuts or paying more than $20 for magnetic polarity meters :sigh:

So I forgotten to tell you but there was a PEMF ad on the bulletin board at the vet! It was for treatment for horses & other animules. :yes:
So the thingy that :run: past from right to left was a satellite & not a shooting star?
And supposedly there is a LOT of UFO/UAP activity worldwide right now. They'ze apposta be keeping us from blowing up the planet. :boom:
So do our leaders really believe that these tariffs are gonna bring manufacturing back to the US? :scratch:
As I told B earlier, out small town is NOT gonna see a return of the pajama factory or Buster Brown shoe factory that my grandmother worked at after WWII cuz...mainly...nobody knows how to operate a sewing machine any more. :woe: Manufacturing is global & intertwined so much now that I don't know how they think they can untangle & return to a 100% MADE in The USA mode.
Or...is it just a cash grab by the wealthy? :sigh: Cuz the rich gets richer during recessions & depressions. I noes...you already moobed your monies. :yes:
The commerce secretary is on CNN now talking about how we're gonna build factories & return the US to glory days as Stellantis has already announced 2 week plant shutterings & mass layoffs. :crazyeyes:
Make it make sense. :popcorn:

Spoo. As for the pancreas thingy...
Amember that 20 years ago the radiologist told me that her pancreas was "shrivelled up & looked like that of a 90 year old".
And the GI we saw said, "I'll see you back in less than a year removing this pancreas".
And the latter did not happen. :nonono:
And amember that she had over a foot of large intestine removed when she was just 5 weeks old?
And amember that most things about her body are unusual or irregular? She has a period that comes & goes all willy nilly. No rhyme or reason.
And all these things (and more) we saw doctor after doctor after doctor about for years.
But...as of the past 20 years she's been healthy. :wiggle:
And yeah, it could be her gallbladder but likely not cuz she knows the pancreas alert signals quite well, as do I.
But :yes: , I'm sure she would benefit from some supplementation.
She eats :egg: s at least 3x a week. She only wants the whites unless I scramble them. :yes: And she loves most all fishes & seafoods. :yes:
And she gets yogurt & kefir.
We are NOT Esselstyn any more. Esselstyn-ish. :laugh: I've changed a lot of habits & no longer cook with oil, never fry anything, but I do add a bit of sesame oil to the sauce when I stir fry. :yes: And B eats :egg: often on the weekend, J & I more often when he's at work. :chuckle:
We eat tuna or salmon a couple times a month...not on any schedule, just when we feel we need somethin. And we eat :pizza: a couple times a month, that being a Kroger gourmet thin crust frozen :pizza: with goat cheese or buffalo mozzarella or feta. They are very doog frozeded :pizza: s.
I call us WFPB...mostly. :yes:
B & J eats more fleshy bits than I. :yucky: I can eat a little now & then but never pork or beef. :nonono: J likes beef but not pork & B loves it all :chuckle: But he only has a :burger: every couple months or more.
So yeah...90% plants I reckon.
:broccoli:

Yup that was likely from BEMER :yes: they is big in horse blanket PEMF systems and they sellz hooman ffuts too but they is :egg: spensive :faint: The other one I noes for animulez is that Assisi ring thang but it's ~$300 and disposable :horror:
Likes I mentioned afores animulez git better medikal toys 'cuz them toys have fewer FDA :hula: hoops to jump thru :cheer:
"So the thingy that :run: past from right to left was a satellite & not a shooting star?"
No star :guns: :nono: ... iffen ya slooows the video down so it's 30 times longer you'll seez it at it's nermal speed. PLUS there are actually many MANY more shooting in all directions and at varying speeds AND some even appear to be flashing and even with different colours :rainbow: There are literally hundreds of satellites that could be viewed at anytime ... ya just need to noes how and the right equipment ... which is what I'm researching now ... and for cheaps 'cuz I am too :oz:
Of course that wacky bright thang at the 42 second mark ... that is anomalous :hmm2: not a star or planet and not a plane or satellite BUT prolly not an alien neether :darn: But it's sumthin that I can research to figurez out which is kinda my jam :cheer:
"And supposedly there is a LOT of UFO/UAP activity worldwide right now. They'ze apposta be keeping us from blowing up the planet. :boom: "
They'ze not doing a very doog boj :nono: And the activity is pretty much the same as it always has been :dunno: it's just more accepted to sez you'd seen sumthin and :mina: types are just using marketing strategies to git more clients :roll:
Wow :faint:
Assume eberythang you sed is some form of wrong or srsly messed up info blended with myth and propaganda 'cuz :huh: :horror:
First try and unerstanz the reason it's called :horn: Reciprocal Tariffs :yes:
Second YES investments in manufacturing in the US has already started :yes:
Third does you not amemberz my :blah: :blah: about global recession :woe: The global economy was srsly messed up iffen Biden or Harris gotted elekted there'd be a recession.

So do our leaders really believe that these tariffs are gonna bring manufacturing back to the US? :scratch:
As I told B earlier, out small town is NOT gonna see a return of the pajama factory or Buster Brown shoe factory that my grandmother worked at after WWII cuz...mainly...nobody knows how to operate a sewing machine any more. :woe: Manufacturing is global & intertwined so much now that I don't know how they think they can untangle & return to a 100% MADE in The USA mode.
Or...is it just a cash grab by the wealthy? :sigh: Cuz the rich gets richer during recessions & depressions. I noes...you already moobed your monies. :yes:
The commerce secretary is on CNN now talking about how we're gonna build factories & return the US to glory days as Stellantis has already announced 2 week plant shutterings & mass layoffs. :crazyeyes:
Make it make sense. :popcorn:
Wow :faint:
Assume eberythang you sed is some form of wrong or srsly messed up info blended with myth and propaganda 'cuz :huh: :horror:
First try and unerstanz the reason it's called :horn: Reciprocal Tariffs :yes:
Second YES investments in manufacturing in the US has already started :yes:
Third does you not amemberz my :blah: :blah: about global recession :woe: The global economy was srsly messed up iffen Biden or Harris gotted elekted there'd be a recession.

K, I am really trying :roll: to understand, not arguing, cuz I believe that you see beyond the politics tho I am not certain of that yet. :chuckle:
What I said came straight from the administration. All the minions were out yesterday repeating, 1. Trust the president, and 2. Manufacturing is gonna come back like you won't believe. Starting immediately (yes, THEY said that). Those were the talking points. And their Dear Leader ran off to Floriduh to golf once again (every weekend so far). On our money. :sigh:
But why were Biden/Harris gonna trigger a recession?
And why do we :cheer: job losses & layoffs? Doesn't that lead to more downturn?
I'm just curious. I think it's a necessary thing for the system to break becuz the largest portion of the population cannot possibly get ahead. :balance:
B was talking with the guys at work about that yesterday & everybody is in the same boat. Barely scraping by even though they all make more than the majority around here do. We've worked 2 & 3 crappy low paying jobs before just to make ends meet. And oftentimes they didn't meet. But it seems that there's absolutely no concern for the peoples upon who's backs this country was built & continues to run on.
Atlas Shrugged. :sigh:
:dunno: Iffin I have to label myself I'm a Democratic Socialist like Bernie. :wub:

Not verbatim, but case in point. It's all about the rich getting richer & the rest of us... oh well. :sigh:

Holy :cow: that was a lot of zooming 'satellites'! :tinhat:
And I typed out a response about the 'government' at present but then I deleted it cuz, just like I told my seester, I will not lose friends or family over politics. I see Project 2025 being put into motion in full force & the country shifting to an authoritarian rule run by oligarchs with a hefty dose of white supremacism. Greed, power & lack of compassion...humanity. :sigh: The deportation snafu as an example.
Oh & you noes Peter Navarro is the architect of the tariff scheme?
And today, many, including Jaime Dimon, are speaking out against.
:secret: they reciprocal tariffs are NOT truly reciprocal. The numbers are fake. As are most of the wannabe King's numbers.
But I'm not worried about any of it. :bliss:
I'm concerned with :spring: and :farmninja: and :sun: shine I hope. We've just emerged from a 4-5 day deluge of :rain: (17"!) so now growth is ridiculous. My kale & collards are :happydance: They'ze in raised beds so not saturated but I figure they'd like a shot of doof today after the washout.

a 90 day pause in tariffs for all countries except China.

And the stock market shoots back up.
And if that's not manipulation of the market... I dunno what is. :gaah:
:farmninja:
But now, it may not be true so the market is whipsawing. :crazyeyes: :rofl: (a 2600 pt swing in the Dow)
And Mush (typo stays :chuckle: ) has broken rank with T ins aying that he is NOT in favor of tariffs & he's calling for 0% tariffs.
:popcorn:
And, believe it or not, I do understand what you were saying & I do believe that reciprocal tariffs (or 0, as Leon Mush sez) make sense
IF they're done right.

Yes Dear :therethere: ... channeling :zanna:
"Oh & you noes Peter Navarro is the architect of the tariff scheme?"
:woe: No he's not :wedgie: I'm sure he shared a doog deal of input but Trump has been pushing for this for decades looong afores the Trump v1.0 presidency :yes: You need a better information source ... and actually check the info aforez beleebing it :buttkick:
Also it's NOT just reciprocal tariffing :nono: that non-negotiable 10% minimum is a pay to play charge to has access to the US markets. Ideally when thangs settle down this is what will offset the federal income tax ... atleast for the horribly unwealthy ... ya noes south of $200k :horror:

:woe: No he's not :wedgie: I'm sure he shared a doog deal of input but Trump has been pushing for this for decades looong afores the Trump v1.0 presidency :yes: You need a better information source ... and actually check the info aforez beleebing it :buttkick:
Also it's NOT just reciprocal tariffing :nono: that non-negotiable 10% minimum is a pay to play charge to has access to the US markets. Ideally when thangs settle down this is what will offset the federal income tax ... atleast for the horribly unwealthy ... ya noes south of $200k :horror:
"And I typed out a response about the 'government' at present but then I deleted it cuz, just like I told my seester, I will not lose friends or family over politics.

So time will tell... :popcorn:
But I am not a true blue Democrat. :yucky: I see the manipulation & corruption of BOTH sides which is why a multi-party system would be betterer.
I am registered democrat but only becuz in OH you hafta register with one or the other to vote in primaries. :sigh:
But I think of myself as an Independent.
My source for Navarro being the architect is Leon Musk. :yes: He just today called Navarro a "moron" & "dumber than a sack of rocks".
Of course, they may just be making Navarro the fall guy. Again. :sigh: But Musk, and now his brother, are speaking out loudly about the tariffs & how Stoopid they are....in a blanket tariff fashion that is. Musk favors specifically targeted tariffs.
And yes I noes the master conman has loved tariffs since the 80s. It's similar to the mob boss sending his henchmen out to collect payments from all the local businesses in exchange for 'protection'.
And yes, I am used to being called stoopid...and poor...and more. And mostly I just ignore it but today...
:nevermind: :whatever:

K so where was we ...
Minions are always a doog wake up :thwack: and neber fail to disappoint when it comes to actual knowledge ... it's like their super power :superman: ... anywho to put all the puzzling pieces together in one post GhostGhurl used her :wheee: PEMF device for cancer AND yes PEMF has surprisingly doog effects for cancer and immune :bump: and circulation :bump: and all that :thumbs: The puzzle piece I was inersted in was that induced BiPolar :vibes: thang from a unipolar PEMF device.
So here's the imagelet I seez from the pieces I gotted putting on the ritz together :siguie:
Copper coils are NOT magnetic unless there's :electrocute: flowing through them BUT they can "Receive" energy when passing through a mooving {aka pulsed} magnetic field. This is how Qi phone chargers and wireless LEDs werk :yes: The "bipolar" effect is NOT magnetic :vibes: but rather :electrocute: field effects that are first Positive then reverse to Negative or in other wurdz BiPolar field effect :angel:
So here's the kicker that gotted me thinking :scratch: ... "Electric field therapy, also known as Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields), is a non-invasive cancer treatment that uses low-intensity, intermediate-frequency alternating electric fields to disrupt tumor cell division, particularly in brain tumors like glioblastoma." from Mr.Google's AI :wiggle:
Now here's the BIG one glioblastomas originate from glial cells :duh: AND PEMF has a lot of doog data on this since it's known to be protective of glial cells and then some :yes: ... but the BIGgy one is that the :electrocute: field frequency used for treatment just happens to be the same as the ones identified for :brain: PEMF ffuts ... aka 50Hz ... now that is a suspiciously doog coinkidink :cheer:
Anywho I'm purty sure PEMF shares a doogly amount of mechanistic overlap with :electrocute: field therapy :angel:
Next up siguie brand pulsed :electrocute: copper (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probes :cheer:
FYI: Fer those :woo: types amemberz The Zapper by Dr. Hulda Clark ... I'm purty sure I can show it's NOT a hunert percent :carp: ... it's just woefully under powered and poorly understood mechanistically ... oh and her frequencies are "wrong"... :wiggle: ... or at the very least it's not just the frequency :nono: it's about the waveform AND duty cycle. It's an NRGeez transfer thang :vibes: ... a single pulse isn't enough it's how multiple :sebiv: are absorbed and dispersed and what the effects are ... it's not about reaching a :boom: ... it's about turning OFF or ratcheting up certain reactions that either killz what needs killin or fixes what needs fixing espeeshully in a roto-rooter context :matt:

K so where was we ...
Well the minions are at it agin 'cuz Apparently 1 new research shows sumthin this or that about cholesterol and :heart: disease :whatever: ... the more important bit is ... like nermal ... they completely gotted what I sed wrong :roll: espeeshully in regards to the EBIL statins :drama:
Anywho CAD is NOT the same as atherosclerosis, though the later is a common cause of CAD and a reason many people git to take statins fer life :horror: SO ... :whatever: ... I came up with TWO :hi5: ... slightly helpful analogies :wiggle:
Iffen yer walking along barefeeted on a lovely sandy beach and you step on sumthin sharp that cuts deeply into the bottom of yer foot. To treat the injury you need to wash out the sand in the wound then cover it and give it time to heal :yes:
Ideally you'd want to wash with fresh water and cover BUT iiffen that's not an option there's an ocean near by and you can prolly wash out most of the sand which might be doog enough :oz:
Now think of the SAND as cholesterol and the wound as an atheroma. Yer body can heal from minor wounds even with some durt no problemo :nono: but a wound caked with sand espeeshully pushed in is gonna has a really hard time not getting secondary problems much less healing :cleanse:
Here a statin would be like getting rid of the sand on the beach to let the sand/cholesterol fall out of the wound and maybe git better :dunno: but the logic is more like NOW iffen yer feetz are cut there's no sand on the beach to cause problems hooray yer saved from future problems :woohoo:
K now amemberz I sed TWO analogies :hi5:
The whole atherosclerosis thang is about the arteries and them :wall: s but some refer to the problems occurring as part of an endothelial lining thang ... and neither is wrong :nono: BUT the key player is the Glycocalyx and in particular it is noed as the endothelial glycocalyx ... and here's the analogy ... tech :nickel: ly it's a gel BUT think of it like :cheese: cloth :yes: It has a porosity that allows some thangs thru but not others AND can be easily damaged making the holes bigger than desired.
So here's the thang ... that "sand/cholesterol" can git through the :cheese: y Glycocalyx layer but it's not muches and the hooman body was designed to handle it :flex: However, when the pore size gits too large too muches git through and handling goes :unthumbs: As one would :egg: pect the smaller thangs git through first ... this is why ApoB gits to be blamed for ffuts :horror:
Here's the point ... finally :roll: ... sand/cholesterol/ApoB/etc. is :horn: NOT the cause of the baddening :heart: ffuts :nono: ... it's whatever caused the wound or more often the case the weakening of the Glycocalyx. :angel:
That sed a "statin" can be helpful BUT only short term or long term iffen you has a liver disease that leads to otherwise uncontrolled cholesterol production. Yes tech :nickel: ly cholesterol isn't bad BUT at some point yer blood turns into butter and that's just too thick :horror:
Anywho as I mentioned ... long agoes ... somewhere here ... the key is the Glycocalyx and yes fer 99.999+% of peoplez statins are just stoopid :yes: Also for atherosclerosis in 99+% of cases the problem originates from some form of prolonged or recurring insult to the Glycocalyx :yes:
In general the Glycocalyx has a turnover rate of 5 to 7 daze BUT iffen it's constantly being worn away by sugar, inflammatory responses :smokes: ... bad :vibes: etc. eventually the underlying endothelial layer and arterial :wall: takes the :thwack: THIS is when the bad takes hold :horror: Basically as long as the Glycocalyx is werken well you can happily enjoy yer day at the beach :angel:

Here's the thang ... Autistic Spectrum Disorder {ASD} isn't one thang it's a continuum EBERYONE is on just more to one side or the other and the mostly not side is very VERY poorly defined :unthumbs: Srsly though iffen you ask people what it is they just parrot back sumthin about not learning doog :roll: People fear what they don't unerstanz :uhoh: and most don't even unerstanz the definition of ASD :sofa: BUT eberyone noes it's getting worser :no: :horror:
Anywho the more meaningful question is what causes "severe" ASD or atleast what causes noticeable and impactful deleterious life changing ASD.

Anywho longer story short ... and agin as is so often the case ... eberythang comes down to Mr.Liver AND of course the siguie favourite ... Mitochondria :cheer:
In any event there is no ONE thang that causes ASD :nono: just lots of contributing factors.

Dr. John Campbell just put out a youtube vide called ...
White House and lab leak (https://youtu.be/AwbBJexNQT0?si=79ZKEIdhVRdGn5nK)
:yesss: :cheer:
It's just going over the ffuts listed on the whitehouse.gov true origins webpage so you can feelz free to beleebz :yes: or not :nono: But FYI Dr.Campbell is "now" hard right on this subject AND to his credit he started off very neutral following and asplaining the WHO reasons for ffuts and what was being disceminated and following the evidence. He then developed his own contacts and gotted real science data and has since shifted his views to the right :abog:
I still thinxz he's wrong about mRNA vaccines ... somewhat ... but HE is a very doog non-researching scientist that gits and verifies data from others afores doesing his own very thorough analysis :thumbs:

So bad :vibes: leads to CAD :hi5:
Finally... you gets it.
:spitcoffee:
I jest. A lot.
But I agrees on autism that's it's a multitude of things with heredity being a factor as well.
J was diagnosed as Asperger's but nowadays that's not even a thing any more. I do not know what the ASD criteria are cuz...well...it doesn't matter any more.
But I can attest that her severe autistic symptoms ('zoning out', stimming, glazedness & inability to communicate clearly) all improved dramatically when I removed hot dogs, campbell's cream of mushroom soup & boxed Mac & cheese from her diet. (All toddler doof she loved) Along with msg laden snacks.
For real, she loved Funions when she was a toddler but within 30 minutes of eating them her entire personality would change. Same with Doritos or barbecue chips.
But I also believe that increased diagnosis (everyone's "neurodivergent" nowadays :chuckle: ) is a HUGE factor.
My grandfather, Buddy, would definitely have been on the spectrum if there had been such a thing in his day. Zen Aunt as well.
Matthew is socially awkward as hell according to lamron standards. Hence the hereditary part.
When I gotted pregnant I was underweight (5'7" 117 lbs...supermodel skinny) and I smoked, drank & had a horrible diet.
I continued to smoke (less than 5 cigs a day per doctor's orders). I still believed doctors knew everything at that time. :rofl:
But mostly, I believe that autism as well as most all other mental &/or physical innate conditions are simply :sparkle: meant to be :sparkle:
In other words, 'ordained' pre-birth by the soul itself. :angel:
They are all here to teach us. To teach some of us compassion, patience, understanding, accepting. To teach others by way of scientific advancement, et al. And quite contrary to RFK's unenlightened dissertation, humans can make quite a significant contribution to society without earning an income, paying taxes, or even speaking. :yes:
Anyway... Hoppy Easter!!! :rabbit:
We're going to Mom's to cook out on the grill. :wiggle:

Well thinkin like that will git you no wherez :buttkick: ... it's why most folk cannot unerstanz :drama:

The main point is that while autism has always been around the characteristic levelz with lifelong impacts has increased dramatically ... which means there must be an environmental factor leading to the increase. So just thinxz of it like iffen Funions ... a delicious snack :liplick: ... neber existed :no: how much less emotionally and phyzical distress would J and youse had to endure :wiggle:
In any event there is no single kemikill difference in autistic :brain: s that links them/youse all together :nono: So what I is saying is that it's basically a failure to thrive cause when the :brain: is developing.
Take for :egg: sample the Japanese ... they has always been thunked as tiny asians 'cuz in the 1940's an afores they was :yes: NOW the average is 5'8" which is just :wheee: nermal. Genetically they did not SUDDENLY :bump: 3 to 4 inches :nono: They just gotted better doof { :secret: :cow: } and mostly cut out the :smokes:
The point is environmental factors contribute to eberythang and how well thangs grow or not including :brain: s can have a BIG effect :yes: So yes you can beleebez what you does but the point is there's a non-genetic factor linked to the increase in debilitating autism AND :secret: it's gonna be related to the liver :mina:
I sez this 'cuz it's already noed that most adult :brain: issues has a carb, low blood :suck: flow, and or toxin buildup issue ... what does that spell LIVER :cheer: ... Yes :whatever: ya noes I cannot read or write so I'm taking a chance onspellaging 'cuz I'm LiverMan :superman:

K so where was we ...
The minions noticed my bowl of Jelly Belly :bean: s :wubsigh: and one had the question of why metabolically switchy vs keto 'cuz even minions realize ... Apparently 1 ... jelly :bean: s prolly not keto doof :nono:
Thang is I don't has any {that I noes of} insulin resistant and or inflammatory markers and I've had the long standing theory that insulin shouldn't cause any health problems at any level until AFTER resistance is initiated AND even then I'm purty sure you has a 3 to 6 month grace period :wiggle:
In any event a nermal healthy ... mostly ... person should produce about 35 units of insulin themselves. FYI: 1ml of insulin is 100 units ... so about 1/3 of a ml. That sed iffen you :egg: sercise more you will need more NRGeez an can eat more sugar/carb for that quick :electrocute: :bump:
Anywho the point is each Jelly Belly :bean: is about 1 gram which makes it easy :peas: y to werk out details AND they is delicious :liplick:
Here's the thang when you is in ketosis but NOT keto adapted and you start :run: ning on a treadmill you will feelz that running into THE :wall: thang and it occurs quite SUDDENLY :horror: which is also kinda neat and useful from an N=1 researching perspective. So I've been pre-loading with Jelly Bellies to figure out how far I can push back the wall and that distance is an indicator of insulin use and how much NRGeez are being used and coming from them carbs. Also this way I noes how much candy I can eat and or how fars I need to :run: to undoes sed candying :wiggle:
Anywho there's a doog video by Physionics that just gotted released which coinkadinkally fits rather nicely with the question ...
Does Insulin cause Atherosclerosis? youtube video
... ya don't needz to watch it and no I don't cares about atherosclerosis 'cuz I has a Zero CAC score 8) BUT it does suggest I was correct ... yes agin :yesss: ... about carbs being fine until it isn't AND yeah it goes back to insulin resistance AND yup I is LiverMan :superman:
Anywho the short not quite right but all a minion can handle at one time answer is that for a healthy metabolical body eat whatever ya likes but does it in a way that yer body uses up all the carbs and falls back to ketosis {or protein neogenesis } within a short period ... I sed a day but I'm purty sure up to 3 months is fine and prolly 6 months but minions need thangs kept simple :therethere:

K so where was we ...
The minions noes I am fascinated with copper and PEMF and one mentioned ... prolly sarcastically but it's hard to tellz with them when they is trying to be smate :roll: ... that I should just put them together. So I pointed out :duh: of course I've already doned that to which there was a generic :huh:
I did the :hello: copper (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/nose.gif) probes at which they mostly scoffed ... and sed sumthin likw "who'd pay for that much less want it doned" ... my reaction => :drama: followed by :scratch: and pointing out that currently :electrocute: :rimshot: microcurrent dermal treatments run ~$400 per session :yes: According to Mr.Google AI one should :egg: spect to pay $200 to $500 per session so I was in the zone :yesss:
So yeah originally the copper probes were for a combo :bump: :bump: electrolytic followed by electrophoretic copper ion :vibes: and motiity. You can actually buy cheap little ultrasonic skin spatulas that have ion+ and ion- options for removing dirt and mooving serum nutrient ffuts deeper into the skin and that's basically just 2 to 3 volts :electrocute: constant voltage or basically a battery hooked to some copper probes. Easy :peas: y
You can do sumthin similar with the ZK-PP2k which is a unipolar PWM device I use in PEMF ffuts but now the POWER :electrocute: can goes up to 36V and 8A which is way WAY beyond nermal "safe" to does at home kinda thang so ya need to unerstanz it afores BURNING the :carp: out of yer skin or into it depending on :sebiv: and :electrocute: powerz :wiggle: Plus it's unipolar so you need to unerstanz a few thangs and has a doog grounding system :yes:
That sed ... coinkadinkally ... my BiPolar PEMF systems can easily be altered to a 15V 50mA to 3A as desired even on the :psifly: and 1Hz to 1000Hz makes it useful from rejuvenating/regenerating to invigorating and :bump: ing muskles.

Oh and the only other thang needed is "conductive gel " :chuckle: I of course is a kemyst and that don't even count as a thang :hysterical: ... but I told the minions they can order it from Amazon :muaha:
Anywho so yeah weird ... from sarcastically scoffing to SUDDEN inerest in these thangs ... I guess it's a thang now :dunno: but I doubt the minions realize that it's like PEMFing ... iffen ya don't noes what yer doesing yer not gonna git the benefits :nono: and unlike PEMFing you can quickly and easy :peas: y have thangs go :basementcat:

Dang that was a looong week :faint: and of course replete with far too many Thrusdazingz :fist: and :cloud: s don't even git me started on the :cloud: s :gaah: :pullhair:
Well the :cloud: s wont be goesing anywhere :sigh: but atleast it's Fry day :cheer:
K so where was we ...
As is so often the case the minons {or atleast one} heard my :blah: :blah: about Thiamine {vit.B1} so is now taking 500mg supplements :roll:
Here's the thang Thiamine is water soluble and I mean very soluble depending on the type yer looking at 1g dissolves in 1ml of water :yes: Yer body cannot make it so it needs a constant supply AND it can only store about 30mg total which will be used up in 1 to 3 weeks depending on lifestyle 'n ffuts so any LARGE xs is gonna go :bye: from :peepants:
Here's another innerestin thang thiamine gits absorbed in the small intestine AND it can be absorbed nigh immediately that is until you hit ~5mg then yer body sez enough we is doog :thumbs:
All together this means you has a max influx rate depending on ones bodily requirements :yes:
The RDA is basically 1mg to 1.5mg per day or about 25% of max absorptioning :oz:
SO ... :whatever: ... here's the kicker :buttkick: ... how much you need is not necessarily how much you can absorb :nono: Thiamine is a key player in the formation of ATP and most of the animule doof sources of thiamine are thangs like the adenosine phosphates as well as pyrophosphates 'n such :wiggle:
The thangs to keep in mind is that since it's needed for NRGeez :electrocute: production in the mitochondria AND it's very water soluble how muches you need depends on what you does and what you eat.
In short you "can " absorb 5mg very quickly and it's one reason why energy drinks often contain it :yes: BUT you cannot absorb 500mg all at once :woe:
That sed most people are deficient :yes: and that's because they eat too many carbs which deplete B1 and their intake is below their outflow :peepants: rate. In other wurdz you want the overal flow IN to be in XS of the flow out :peepants: BUT yer body can only handle about 5mg at a time and only when it needs it.
Assuming ~60% absorption rate from doof a person needs atleast 2mg per day more for carbovorez and those muskling :flex:
You can buy thiamine pyrophospahte BUT it's pricey so I has thiamine mononitrate and thiamine hydrochloride as well as Benfotiamine which is the delightful 100% synthetic version that is also Oil soluble :cheer: It's speeshul and can cross the blood :suck: :brain: barrier and werks for diabetic neuropathies 'n ffuts. I mostly use the mononitrate and hydrochloride salt and of these mostly the hydrochloride 'cuz it tastes the least horrific :horror:
Anywho I peridically take 15g {that's g NOT mg} of thiamine hydrochloride and dissolve it in 15ml of siguie brand water { :secret: distilled} drop in a little ascorbic acid ... 'cuz vit.C is always doog :yes: and as a kemyst I noes it acidulates the solution which enhances the stability of thiamine hydrochloride :oz: I then stores the solution in a brown glass bottle in my fridge :wiggle:
Here's the thang it's BITTER :uhoh: but iffen ya noes what yer doesing it's a doog bitter :yes: and I use bitters all the time ... like the woodford reserves orange bitters I use in siguie brand soda. Amemberz this ffuts is in NRGeez drinks so adding it to sodas is a no :brain: er :angel:
Anywho 1 drop is about 50mg or 10 times the amount one can absorb at one time AND it tastes doog in siguie brand citrus elektrolyte drank :thumbs: BUT it's also doog in soda in general like coke/pepsi or mineral water :thumbs: Basically 1 or 2 drops a day espeeshully if taken ALL day is purty much all ya need or can absorb so that's what I does.
Also most deficiencies are undeficiented within a few days iffen not hours though repair of thangs like neuropathy can take weeks ... though for those Benfotiamine would werk fasterer :oz:

You can buy thiamine pyrophospahte BUT it's pricey so I has thiamine mononitrate and thiamine hydrochloride as well as Benfotiamine which is the delightful 100% synthetic version that is also Oil soluble :cheer: It's speeshul and can cross the blood :suck: :brain: barrier and werks for diabetic neuropathies 'n ffuts. I mostly use the mononitrate and hydrochloride salt and of these mostly the hydrochloride 'cuz it tastes the least horrific :horror:
Anywho I peridically take 15g {that's g NOT mg} of thiamine hydrochloride and dissolve it in 15ml of siguie brand water { :secret: distilled} drop in a little ascorbic acid ... 'cuz vit.C is always doog :yes: and as a kemyst I noes it acidulates the solution which enhances the stability of thiamine hydrochloride :oz: I then stores the solution in a brown glass bottle in my fridge :wiggle:
Here's the thang it's BITTER :uhoh: but iffen ya noes what yer doesing it's a doog bitter :yes: and I use bitters all the time ... like the woodford reserves orange bitters I use in siguie brand soda. Amemberz this ffuts is in NRGeez drinks so adding it to sodas is a no :brain: er :angel:
Anywho 1 drop is about 50mg or 10 times the amount one can absorb at one time AND it tastes doog in siguie brand citrus elektrolyte drank :thumbs: BUT it's also doog in soda in general like coke/pepsi or mineral water :thumbs: Basically 1 or 2 drops a day espeeshully if taken ALL day is purty much all ya need or can absorb so that's what I does.
Also most deficiencies are undeficiented within a few days iffen not hours though repair of thangs like neuropathy can take weeks ... though for those Benfotiamine would werk fasterer :oz:

So I just learnt that grams are NOT milligrams :pie: and that XS means excess, not extra small.
:bsl:
My seester & Chloe came in last week so it was a :frantic: :twister: of :shera: energy. :splat:
And meanwhile we been chasing Nature both here & Mom's house. :treehug: :aaahhh:
My shipping container gardens of greens & such are lush & full & now it's apposta be 88 today, mid 80s the next few. :woe:
So I gots to harvest a whole bunch of oregano & kale & maybe collards but I'ze hoping the latter will do alright.
The kale is already trying to :run: (bolt) as I have pinched off shoots several times already. :sigh:
So it appears that :spring: is practically over so now I gotta scramble & get my summer game on. :happydance:
But oh. my. gosh! :faint: It is the most beautiful :spring: to date.
We've got fully blooming 6'+ pink & red knockouts, hundreds of yellow & white irises (the purples are yet to bloom but will soon), exploded peach drift roses & a new peach knockout as well as a new yellow knockout.
Then the azaleas... :wubsigh: So full this year & so very large. :wub:
Bachelor buttons everywhere & the dianthus... oh my the dianthus is aglow.
The catmint is just starting to bloom & the veranda is full of potted beauties.
Oh but one of my favorite things in the yard is a crepe myrtle that is about 20 feet tall. Several years ago a white, wild rose (very fragrant) began growing up the center & over the years has spiralled around the crepe myrtle. When it is in full bloom (which it will be prolly today) it is a GIANT fragrant rose tree! :happydance: After it blooms we prune it back to where we can mow easily around but it cascades right now & you can axshully walk under it like a waterfall. :wubsigh:
So I been losteded on :cloud9: when I hasn't been cleaning the kennel or with family.
Gonna go scatter seeds this morning. :bliss: Cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers... And then likely start a bunch of summer seed ffuts like squashes & cukes & friends.
Yesterday was the new :moon:
Time to plant seeds. :bliss:

The doog news is that China already figured out they messed up sumthin fierce so are :secret: quietly untariffing the thangs they literally cannot live without ... but it's gonna need a few weeks to equalize and the Chinese guberment cannot afford the cost offset so yeah next week the nuf beggins :share:

I saw a commercial farmer this morning bemoaning the price increase of his seeds from Denmark. I didn't watch the whole thing but he did not know what the increase to consumers would be.
It's gonna be a mess, Sig. A flat out fustercluck. :p And I am prophesizing that the American oligarchs will somehow put a stop to it cuz they won't take the disruptions & losses.
But time will tell. :wiggle:
MEanwhile...
I gots paradise! :bliss: :flowerom: :bliss:
I will does the tea thang. :yes: I've got one pound of jasmine green left (plus a bit in my cannister) and I dunno when I will get any mores. :sigh:
That's pretty much my biggest 'sacrifice'. :chuckle: The pearls are unavailable at Amazon & $69.99 at Numi. :nonono:
In happy swen we have 2 baby hummingbirds!!! :wubsigh: :happydance: They are so much fun to watch. A boy & a girl. :yes:
And LOTS of early :butterfly: :bufly:
Yep. 100 days of mostly illegal executive orders effectively dismantling most all of the social programs & safety nets for marginalized peoples. :candle:
:popcorn:
Many of he YouTube psychics are predicting a big event in May. Possibly a shutdown of the entire grid including cellphones. A total blackout on communications which will freak many peoples out. :frantic: Similar to what just happened in Spain & Barcelona except more black outted, nationwide & 3-5 days.
:dunno:
But we can easily manage a week without 'modern conveniences'. Mom & I were just talking about how she had no electricity for most of her childhood & no indoor plumbing until after she was married & moved to Ohio. She recalls how they knew when the :electrocute: lines were being run & she said everyone who could afford it already had a refrigerator and/or freezer sitting waiting to be plugged in. But for reals, my mom could easily live on PB & crackers for a week. Or Vienna sausages out of the can. It wouldn't phase her a bit. :shera:

We had our FIRST ever Amazon delivery delivered by Amazon last week! :faint: :cheer:
Amembers way back when B's Briggs & Stratton factory closed down & you kept suggesting he be an Amazon driver?
I kept insisting that we have NO Amazon drivers around here.
That was 13 years ago & guess what? We has Amazon deliveries now!!! :bliss:
But the delivery came from Jackson so a feller around here would have to drive to Jackson to then drive back heres to deliver. :chuckle:

And yup called it ... China tariffs just kicked in :buttkick: :drama: ... frequency generating modules on Amazon just rocketed in price ... tech :nickel: ly they is the same price just with a $20-ish delivery fee :no: AND that's why I stocked up :muaha:
I'll prolly pickup a batch of mosfets and just hunker down :yes: Thang is with a batch of 5V, 9V, and 12V linear voltage regulators { :secret: MOSFETs} I can purty muches make whatever I needs from :scratch: ... coinkadinkally I gotted an actual soldering station afores they went up :muaha: Srsly my solar powered solder system was fine for connecting modules BUT full on builds take too long :horror:

:huh: odd one :scratch: This is 12 seconds but at full resolution and in real time ... no speedup or downslowing :nono: It occurred a little after sunset 8:56:48pm and you can see a faint satellite mooving up near it to the right. I'm guessing it's a satellite that just happens to catch the :sun: at the right angle for a second you can see it's dim form just before it bursts into brightness :boom:
12 second Video Link (http://www.psifly.com/siguie/files/05052025.mp4)
Thang is it's too hazy and fog is rolling in PLUS the camera hasn't gone into FULL Darkness :basementcat: mode yet 'cuz there's too much light still. Also it's a very short :wheee: burst which is unusual ... typically you will see flashing as thee satellite spins or a more or less constant illumination.
This is definitely a head :scratch: er ... prolly satellite :yes: but perchance not :nono: and it's sinko de :mayo: :may5: and :crazy: enough to be sumthin that :blonde: :bsca: :ninja: :pirate: :mermaid: would does to sez :pey: :hi:

K that ddo one was quite ddo. :scratch: :woo:
And :yes: :zanna: :windy: :wub: :birthday:
Been more than a little busy here chasing Nature. :bliss: But...we had a cold front move in on Sunday & now eeerthang has been put on ice so we can ( :rofl: ) catch up. Not possible but still fun to 'try'. :pie:
As for the orange one (he's axshully looking more bronze lately :huh: ) et al, :yes: we are going through a long-prophetized re-balancing of power structures worldwide. It's all 'in accordance with the prophecy'. :wedgie: :enorah:
But I still doesn't like him. :nonono: He's a pompous :butt: What makes me most annoyed is how he's spending OUR $$ on himself! His golfing, his appearances, his proposed military parade for his birthday. :woe: All the while cutting jobs & pretending to be acting in an 'efficient' manner. I get upset when the people at the bottom, the people who literally hold up the planet with work :flex: , get the short end of the stick.
But I gots :spring: I gots to harvest collards today. :wiggle: :thanks: to the cool down it's not as much of a rush as it was a week ago but still...
My greens are fabulous! :cheer: :bliss:
Last night I stir-unfried (I've gotten doog at the no-oiling, 'cept I use a week bit of sesame oil in the sauce :yes: ) with my very own snow peas & swiss chard & green onions & basil & oregano. Then I had fresh :strawberry: but not enough for anything much so I turned them into a syrup that we putted over frozen yogurt & had :spring: sundaes on a Monday! :happydance:

I noes right :yes: ... I thunked maybe meteor but you can see a :wheee: mooving dot just afores the flare up ... most peculiar though :hmm2:
Anywho, I is slooowly figuring out how to peer through the haze, and identify mooving ffuts :yes: In theory at some point I'll be able to make a sky gazing camera that can use AI to identify anomalous objects ... I also has :bat: s and a barn owl to AI out but they is dark as opposed to orbs of light so no problemo :nono:
Yeah I sawed you and Pan were hasing some atypical cold and wet :yes: youses are soooo lucky :buttkick: Here it's already been in the low 80's :horror:
"As for the orange one ..."
:chuckle: No worries roughly 30% of either party fall into the "hardcore fan" category ... or in other wurdz they will ALWAYS support their team no matter what :nono:
That sed he's already "caused" sumthin AMAZIN :yes: ... China just this last week ... mostly the weekend ... quietly initiated a "health" policy that shut down atleast 60 HIGH profit businesses making kemikillz. Basically tons of fentanyl precursors are no longer being made in China and exported to Mehico :nono:
It looks like some are trying to outsource to India :pullhair: but in the meantime this means there's going to be a SUDDEN crash in the fentanyl economy :wiggle:
Naturally there's going to be a moove to opiods and what not :sigh: but I guess that's a right direction moove :dunno:
FYI: Apparently 1 it's not common knowledge that Fentanyl is not just for endgame users :nono: it's added to purty muches ALL the illegal drugs even Marry Jane :smokes: as a way to increase addiction and drive sales :wiggle:
Anywho no likey Mr.Orange is fine :therethere: ... I likes what he is doesing AND there's a global shift towards Trumpism like with Nigel Farage :cheer: and even Alberta of Kanuckia :chuckle:
Mmmm collards is one of the few vegetationalz I likes :yes: but it's the pot liquor that rules :headbang:
Yup May is the :strawberry: month here :cheer: I actually likes :strawberry: Milk :missing: ... it's a Japanese thang to makes froot milks BUT they is very doog esepeshully iffen you use doog milk like Strauss :cheer: Oh and my other favourite is Peach Milk :liplick:

K this is a 10 second clip at full resolution and real speed. It's not a satellite and it's prolly not a bug :bugsnile:
Really Strange :huh: (http://www.psifly.com/siguie/files/strange05102925.mp4)
K tech :nickel: ly the night scope is supposedly shooting at 4k but it's really 2.5k and 15fps vs the nermal 30 or 60 for 4k and 120 for 8k etc. The low frame rat is nermal for night scopes since they need more time to absorb light even iffen they are many times more sensitive. Thang is this was in full DARK mode :basementcat: and I has ALL of my infrared illuminators off AND I porpoisefully have the telephone lines showing in the bottom left corner. This lets me noes iffen a car or some mooving down the street light source needs to be accounted for and no there weren't nuthin :nono:
Could it be a shooting star ... it don't look like it and it fades in then fades out without a light peak. Also it has an elongated "body" with what could be 4 or 5 segments and iffen you math it could fit for a mosquito flapping at 600 beats per second BUT the focus was at infinity and beyond AND there's the no light thang and :skeeter: s being tiny and the fade in fade out ALSO this thang was booking :book:
Best guess UAP :yes: ... though tech :nickel: ly it could be some very large fast mooving night critter ... large enough to reflect the nermal house lights from far away neighbors and fast wing beats ... faster than a :bee: which is ~300bps humming boids can be 200bps but that would be the low end for this thang AND wings are iridescent and woulda been noticed :hmm2:

I'm looking at no make direct purchase coils { aka :electrocute: magnets} as less DIYee options :wiggle:

Anywho I found an 80mm NOT 95mm flat coil that "could " werk :yes: It's rated for 9W at 24V or 12V which meanz it should be able to handle 300mA to just ober 600mA. It's not great :nono: and is less than 1/10th of what I want BUT it's also comes with a shunt AND I can tweak the current and measure heat and gauss output :angel:
It wont come anywherez close to a siguie brand PEMF system :drama: but it should be two to three times what a BEMER hand puck thang can does and should be plug 'n play at a cost of $25-ish total :thumbs:
Also I figured out MOSFET gate pulsed drivers :vibes: and I'm figuring out Frequency Generators :pullhair: They is really simple and I has a bucket full of 555 timerz :thumbs: unfortunately them timerz are hard to make looow Dooty Cycle :gaah: I needs 1% to 5% but these 555erz want to run between 50% and a hunert :wall: Hence the new learnings :vibes:

K so potentially easy :peas: y and cheap-ish siguie brand PEMF :cheer:
It's nuthin as doog as the original BUT it looks like you can purchase the bits 'n bobs and cobble it together with just a screwdriver :wiggle:
My coils are 95mm and only 7 Ω :om: while the pre-made coils are 80mm and a hunert Ω plus they come with a shunt and are a solid steel :donut:
Anywho the :electrocute: math is different and I hasn't run the thang long term yet AND the magnetic hypersurface {the field shape } is more like a flashlight vs a :donut: cushion BUT it looks doesable and evern purty doog :thumbs:
I'll prolly git a few more and see what I can does to git some data :happydance:
In any event at 24V the thang uses about 400mA aka runs at 6W which is nuthin for a 120W power :brick: BUT it still produces 133 Gauss which is basically two siguie coils stacked or one with a shunt. The difference is where my coils can reach nearly a meter all around like a sphere this is like a 1 meter pole :wheee: that's about 100mm round aka about 4 inches. So definitely fine for targeted PEMF not so doog for whole body matts 'n thangs :nono:
More research is needed ... :cheer: but yeah almost certainly doesable :yes:
Anywho I'm purty sure I can recreate the PEMF system GhostGhurl purchased :yes: and yeah for way WAY less :whistle:

My coils are 95mm and only 7 Ω :om: while the pre-made coils are 80mm and a hunert Ω plus they come with a shunt and are a solid steel :donut:
Anywho the :electrocute: math is different and I hasn't run the thang long term yet AND the magnetic hypersurface {the field shape } is more like a flashlight vs a :donut: cushion BUT it looks doesable and evern purty doog :thumbs:
I'll prolly git a few more and see what I can does to git some data :happydance:
In any event at 24V the thang uses about 400mA aka runs at 6W which is nuthin for a 120W power :brick: BUT it still produces 133 Gauss which is basically two siguie coils stacked or one with a shunt. The difference is where my coils can reach nearly a meter all around like a sphere this is like a 1 meter pole :wheee: that's about 100mm round aka about 4 inches. So definitely fine for targeted PEMF not so doog for whole body matts 'n thangs :nono:
More research is needed ... :cheer: but yeah almost certainly doesable :yes:
Anywho I'm purty sure I can recreate the PEMF system GhostGhurl purchased :yes: and yeah for way WAY less :whistle:

:yawn: :coffee:
K so where was we ...
Yup $15 for the 80mm :electrocute: magnet and it's PEMF useable and even marginally doog :thumbs:
Ya loose some of the doogness 'cuz the way the metal shunt mooves the south poles :vibes: it cancels out some of the northerly doogness BUT the core :sebiv: is a strong northerly :wheee: so as mentioned earlier it's a doog directional PEMFerz :vibes:
FYI: using arithmeticulous that's 1.064×10−6 Webers ... 'cuz I measured 133 Gauss and the core is 35mm or ~800mm2 :wiggle:
Anywho the nermal siguie coils are mucho betterer BUT are also omni directional :boom: AND use much more POWER :muaha: Srsly :yes: at 24V this thang only pulls ~400mA or 6W which is 2/3 of what it was supposed to handle the equivalent siguie brand coil at 24V would require 16A aka 384W :faint: or in lame peoplez terms 64 timez mo POWER :muaha:
SO ... :whatever: ... is the :wheee: :electrocute: magnet from Amazon useful ... YES :yes: but it's literally a flashlight compared to a BRIGHT overhead light :sun: Also I use 2 coils minimum and up to 20 :cheer: though I thinxz 4 to 6 is optimal for ease of use and overall benefits :thumbs:
In other newses ...
The minions or atleast 2 of them are on a hypochlorous acid :buttkick: :roll:
Hypochlorous acid is the not quite bleach antimicrobial that I makes at home 'cuz it's easy and I does ffuts like that :dunno: Anywho Apparently 1 it's a skincare fad ... who nude :dunno:
Anywho Tweedle Dumb & Dumber have been purchasing the hypochlorous acid sprays from Amazon for their skin :roll:
K so for roughly $10 for 4oz :faint: they git a stabelized hypochlorous acid thang supposedly at 0.018% :woe:
Here's the thang ... yes it does werk :yes: it's roughly 100 timez more effective than Bleach {sodium hypochlorite} at killin :guns: and it ... mostly ... doesn't bleach ffuts white ... atleast not at 0.018% or less :roll: AND it does reduce inflammation :yes: It's also a doog thang to use to wash out cuts 'n scrapes 'n such :yes:
The thang is I makes atleast 200 to 300ml a week and it lasts for a week or longer iffen I want to werks my kemystery :magic: ... but I also make it much MUCH stronger :flex: The thang is I use siguie brand atmospherically harvested distilled water ... aka drinking water and cheap salt 5g to 10g {aka about 1 to 2 tsp} then :electrocute: at 16V 1A for 5 to 10 minutes then save a little in a bottle by the sink for disinfecting AND pour the rest into a spray bottle and hose down my shower then just walk away :wiggle:
I don't like cleaning :horror: and it's too much werk cleaning my bathroom :drama: SO ... :whatever: ... super BLEACH :superman: :secret: siguie brand hypochlorous acid to the rescue. Anywho I just rinse down any residual salt the next time I'm in the shower and other than a citric acid hose down that's basically all I eber really needz to does :wiggle:
The point is hypochlorous acid is easy and cheap to make why spend so muches when you can make yer own so simply :dunno:

SO ... :whatever: ... Apparently 1 teenz and tweenz shouldn't oughta gits 3D printers 'cuz they just print tons of :carp: :hysterical:
Yeah some of the minions were :blah: :blah: about how their kidz "needed" them and they is :egg: spensive to git and feed with filament :chuckle: Anywho the thang that made me cut in on their conversation was when they blasphemed by saying they was not cost effective :woe: Then one minion had the audacity to sez their home would be better off using the money for some doog HEPA filter air purifiers 'cuz they all has horrible hay fever :roll: SO ... :whatever: ... naturally with my doog air :om: ffuts of course I made my own high end H13 grade HEPA filters 'cuz I has a 3D printer and a :brain: :whistle:
Anywho I likes the Levoit Core 300 models :yes: There are a bunch of variations BUT they all use the same filter core AND there are a lot of generic knock offs so the replacements are ~$10 and they is doog sized :yes:
These thangs sell for about a hunert but iffen you buyz them in :fall: they can be had half priced or less so I gotted one for research porpoises AND they is quite doog :yes: So I made more :muaha:
The only thang you need in addition to the filter is a fan and the Levoit core fan is just a fancy schmancy blower type fan :wiggle:
Anywho the fan is the most :egg: spenive part or can be ... I just use an $8 120mm computer fan and print an adapter in less than an hour and BOOM a doog HEPA filter that runs on 12V. Thang is iffen I want to clear a room fast I use a $20 blower fan and use the same filter just a different adapter. It's louder and I really don't need that much of an air :cleanse: in siguie manor so I mostly use the 120mm computer fan and a usb plug OR ya noes a LiFePO4 battery that's solar powered or just :sun: power :flex:
Depending on how ya looks at it a $200 3D printer could pay for itself in just a couple of hours iffen you just need 3 to 5 air purifiers :cheer:

K Nick the oreo statin guy Norwitz just released a youtube video on "carb cycling" which is the general term for metabolical switchiness :wiggle:
The What, How, Why... and WOW of Carb Cycling (https://youtu.be/1DboMQ9PBIM?si=ok2V6ARb_ethqoIr)
It woulda been nice iffen he had done this 3 or 4 years agoes :drama: but yes he hits all the key points :thwack: He mentions the daily option as well as my seasonal one :drama: and he even asplains what I figured out between keto and carnivore and why they isn't the same :nono:
Anywho it's one of his longer :blah: :blah: videos BUT it's doog and covers all of the general points that took me YEARz to figures out on my own :sigh:

Anywho mostly doned :yes: so this weekend will prolly include a face lift :cheer:
FYI: This is all default themes 'n ffuts :ashamed:

Yeah not so muches that ffuts :buttkick: though the :sunhug: is making purty :rainbow: s :wiggle:
Anywho the timing with the Orange ones executive orders and tariffs 'n war type :guns: negotiating AND of course whether the whurled is plunged into darkness :basementcat: aka recession hinges on the next 2 weeks ... mostly ... closer to 3 weeks but most of the BIG ffuts should be in the next two :horror:
Basically iffen China is gonna attack Taiwan it's gonna be afores July :yes: Iffen Putin is gonna escalate the stoopid it's gonna be afores July. Iffen countries are gonna collapse it's gonna be afores July ... not counting Cuba though :nono: THEY already went :boom:
In other wurdz ... this is where thangs get inerestin :share:
After that it's Investin Time :ura:

As mentioned way way back :norway: I is CAC=0 :irule: ... anywho Nick oreo statin guy Norwitz just did a doog overview and esplainz ... prolly better than me :sigh: ... why LDL don't matter unless you is NOT CAC=0 and he also mentions the different types of plaque and age and the overall influences ... but I thunked I did that purty doog :drama:
The Power of CAC = 0: When Does LDL Matter? (https://youtu.be/_t-6qirB5-I?si=OtDX3SeLSSsgDe2E)
He mentioned :smokes: but didn't elaborate on the effect but basically :smokes: favors calcified plaques over soft regardless of age.
Oh and not mentioned Triglyceride :bump: s can also be associated with metabolical inflammatory ffuts :vibes:
Oh and more ghostghurl related ... he gives a doog ... though very politikally correct answer for statin use and the risks. Personally I still thinxz statins are EBIL and in nigh ebery case should be avoided 'cept perchance for short times pre and/or post :heart: surgeries :yes: The only time statins should be used indefinitely is with certain liver disease issues where ones blood :suck: turns into a milkshake without it otherwise :buttkick: the ffuts ... not so politikally correct but prolly correktor :yes:

Heya :michafire: :wave:
:tapfoot:
I spent the weekend updating the forum software :horror: It's now ultra up to date with the latest version which unfortunately has limited theme choices that werk with it :sigh: There's a doog chance the face will change agin ... soon ... but this is it for now :yes:
Next I has to update the PHP version on the server ... then ...then ... THEN ... yeah lotsa ffuts to does :frantic: BUT the database is safe :om: so we're not going anywherez anytime soon :nono:
":sunhug:
in my garden, but not much sun as there is clouds all day :yucky: "
Dang :cloud: s :fist: same here but we callz it Joon Gloom or ya noes coastal fog aka the marine layer aka no astronomical photography for siguie :fist: nor UAP hunting :sigh:
That last is one of my latest endeavors 'cuz I've got a lot of :ghost: hunting toolz and you can only scan siguie manor soooo many timez afores it gits old :drama:
Oh and due to cloud coverage this last weekend and the boards mostly werken I also throwed together a new siguie brand mmWave :vibes: Hooman Detector :yes: Srsly :yes: it's a millimeter Wave :sebiv: mini Radar detector :matt: I wanted LIDAR like what they use on the Secret of Skin Walker Ranch :wubsigh: and locate :boo: types and portals in siguie manor but LIDAR even the cheap :carp: is not cheap :faint: and I is cheap :yes: so mmWave :vibes: 2 modules for $7 :hi5: :bliss2:
FYI: This is just an IoT module for seeing if a hooman is present in a room even iffen they is not mooving :nono:
K so where was we ...
PEMF aka Pulsed EMF :vibes:
K so I figured out the $15 :electrocute: magnet werks and I'm 93.6% sure this is a similar system to what GhostGhurl spent a small fortune on :faint: 'cuz the stats are nigh identical though her mag unit is longer vs my flatter one. Anywho, it occured to me that at less than 1/60th the intensity you should be able to use N52 neodymium magnets :hmm2: atlease iffen you use sumthin like a Halbach magnet array and made them spin :wheee:
N52 is the strongest available magnets :flex: and a Halbach array ... a Germanese wurd which is why you reminded me of this :oz: ... is a geometric combination of fixed magnets that can :bump: field strength and or distance ... kinda like a shunt but only using magnets.
The main disadvantage is that Hallabach arraies can be tricky to put together and involves pushing magnets together in wasy they don't wanna be :no: BUT I has a 3D printer and noes how to use it :muaha:
SO ... :whatever: ... the idea is 3D print containment cells for magnets that hold them in siguie defined Halbach geometries then spin the thang with an :electrocute: motor and :boom: I should has a fixed magnet PEMF-like system :wiggle:
Ya seez this "should" also be an advantage for those with RA 'cuz the literature shows for RA there are different advantages some for PEMF and others for fixed magnet :vibes:
Anywho there I was building a very clever siguie brand system when it dawned on me that I should ask Mr. Google iffen anyone else had done it first 'cuz I mean srsly this is basically just a BIGgie sized magnetic spinner :wheee:
And :boom: followed by a :woe: yeah it's called a PrimerCube :ashamed: and there's a website called ... primerfieldfoundation.org (https://primerfieldfoundation.org/)
Anywho there's a youtuber going by the name OmegaZZ that basically shows how to make a full sized one ...
How to build a large PrimerCube (rotating bowl magnet array) (https://youtu.be/_mkZmqycIHI?si=XtfgOAzufaFO-Lnq)
In any event I wanna play with some siguie brand designs :yes: it's definitely inerestin :woo: but spinning heavy dense magnets at 3300 rpm in a plastic matrix that wants to split apart for some unknowable reason makes my (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/spiderman.gif) sense tingle ...

Quote from: SpaceweatherTHE BIGGEST 'FORBUSH DECREASE' IN 20 YEARS: Solar storms are supposed to make radiation go up, right? A severe solar storm on June 1st did just the opposite, pushing cosmic ray fluxes to a 20-year low. This 'Forbush Decrease' has made space travel temporarily safer for astronauts.

The Artificial Sweetener That's Actually Good For You (https://youtu.be/sETKCgf8naQ?si=YLhUFoWFUolqfHfy)
One of the completely missed doogly bits is that xylitol chelates aka hangs onto Calcium without actually binding but does it strong enough and adds just enough of it's own :magic: to pull the ion deeper into teeths AND bones than Calcium can git without active transport :flex:
This along with the S.mutans effects is why xylitol not only clears biofilms that cause cavities but is also a key player in rebuilding teefs :flex: Of course add in ozone, hydroxyapetite, calcium phsophate and fluoride and :boom: (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif)
Of course to :bump: thangs up even morerer there's siguie brand colloidal silver AND siguie brand copper to boost bone strength including jawbone strength {bone collaen} AND of course Zinc for the rebuilding :cheer:

Yeah it's a :siguie: thang :drama:
Long loooong agoes I did PEMF using a JVC audio amp :choir: and the olde win95 tone generator for :vibes: The coils were wires that had the minimum resistance needed not to borke the amp and :boom: PEMF :sebiv: Only I had nuthin that needed PEMFing :sigh: NOW I still doesn't has nuthin needing PEMF but atleast now with the interweb in full gear :run: I can git the studies 'n ffuts :matt:
Anywho "Burst Waveforms" :vibes: was a thang I always thunked would be doog fer sumthin :dunno:

The battery is a LiFePO4 power bank so no blowy uppy :boom: like nermal Lithium cells :nono: also way more deep cycle recharges :cheer:
Next up the siguie brand T1 :superman: coil :vibes: aka 10,000 Gauss aka 1 Tesla or ya noes 200 times stronger :flex: than I've been playing with :wiggle: I can hit a Tesla by lego stacking multiple coils BUT that's a lot of coils and it's hard to use that way :drama: SO ... :whatever: ... now I just ordered a 50A transformer aka Variable Power Supply ... China is tanking and I've been waiting for this company to dump ffuts and they just did :yesss:
I'll :check: the :heat: issues out this weekend cuz I should now be able to send the regular coils into overdrive and :bump: 50G coils up to 400G to 450G :ura: but that's a lot of :electrocute: for 22AWG wire :uhoh: for 1 Tesla I'll prolly need 16AWG :yes:
FYI: 22awg is about0.33mm while 16awg is 1.33mm or about 4 timez BIGgerer :matt:
FYI2: In case anybody fergetted ... 1 Tesla {aka 10,000 Gauss} is the arbitrary cutoff line ... BELLOW is considered "low power pemf" which is assumed to be consumer safe :unthumbs: ... ABOVE is considered "High Power Pemf" :ura: and professional or "clinical" grade :thumbs: :muaha:

Anywho pre-borned babies live in a low oxygen environment and are generally looow in glutathione so are dependent on mom's liver for most of the ffuts. Once borned they SUDDENLY need muches more and are on their own for glutathione :frantic:
Anywho it's one of the noed reason that premature babies have higher rates of autism or atleast that's what it is attributed to.
SO ... :whatever: ... yes Acetaminophen can and is almost certainly a factor in autism :yes: as well as lots of other bad ffuts stemming from liver damage :drama:

Wow :huh: :faint:
I've been inundated with questions about Leucovorin ... which is weird 'cuz I'm purty sure it's just "Folinic acid" aka an alternative and natural form of folate aka B9.
I still need to :check: the literature BUT to make sure I gotted the structure right 'cuz it's not sumthin I actually werk with :nono: BUT I've messed with basically ALL of the B vitaminz I'm purty sure Folinic acid is available as B9 supplements with or without Folic acid ... the nermal B9 :oz:
That said to answer the numero uno question ... Folic acid and by default Folinic acid does indeed has an effect on the :brain: which is one of the reasons it's soooo important in pre-natal vitaminz :yes: More importantly the Liver {insert LiverMan emoji } is the main storage depot.
So yeah Tylenol/acetaminophen does mess with it when the liver is perturbed.
That sed ... agin ... the thang most peoplez are prolly missing is that there's a genetic factor that 40% to 50% of the population has called "methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (\(MTHFR\)) gene which is a genetic polymorphisim that screws up folate absorption/use/storage/etc to varying degrees. Agin this is why pre-natal folate vitamins are BIG.
Anywho yeah Folinic acid bypasses that problemo and is prolly a doog idea for those with the genetic issue :oz:
K still need to verify that Leucovorin is indeed folinic acid BUT sure does look like it so not sure what the commotion is about :dunno: I'm no medical doktor :nono: but iffen it's a supplement and ya wanna use it within the supplementic parameters I don't see a problem :dunno:
Here's an Amazon Link (https://amzn.to/4nAZeba) from my associates thang. The First 3 are indeed Folinic Acid supplements. But the first 2 listed below are just the main ffuts ... after that there mixing it and or going to ONLY folate which is NOT what is wanted :nono:
Source Naturals (https://amzn.to/4pLAm2a)
Ingredients
Folate (as calcium folinate) (800 mcg folinic acid), Calcium (as dibasic calcium phosphate)
Seeking Health (https://amzn.to/42e7Yvo)
Ingredients
Folate (as folinic acid calcium salt). Xylitol, ascorbyl palmitate, natural cherry flavor and silica

:hi: I'm new here. :pie:
I been busy. :chuckle: Walking, at first. Had lots of Silence to catch up on & unbeknownst to me I had lots of non-Silence to attend to afterwards.
Doog swen first.. Durt Mama was declared clot free & is off the spensive anti-clot ffuts. :cheer:
And she has an appointment on !!/4 to start the process for another ablation on her back. She's purty bad again & hasn't been able to do an ablation whilst on the Xarelto.
:b: has been great tho he does have arrhythmia after exertion or dehydration once in awhile. He's gonna see a new cardiologist (a 30 year younger & hopefully more betterer) in December...just to get established.
:j: is :j: Doing her thing. Listening to music at the moment. :matt:
So a couple months ago Zen Aunt's ex was found dead in his house with no AC after 3 days. :uhoh:
He's the one youse might recall who was overweight, diabetic, COPD, CAD, etc, etc & came back to life like a :sigster: after being given monoclonal antibodies during covid. It was a big ordeal for my cousin. :therethere:
:candle:
Then...on Oct 2 :b: 's older seester in Nashville was found dead in her condo. Also with no AC. And after at least 3 weeks. :sigh: She was famous for not returning calls or texts tho we'd all begged her to at least let us know she was ok. :sigh: We'd met her at restaurants in Nashville but had not been allowed in since 2013.
Bad, is a gross understatement of the conditions in which she lived. :sigh: We had a Crime Scene Cleaning Crew come & they spent 4 days filling 6 industrial size dumpsters & then cleaning the entire condo. We just gotted the Death Certificates today (body ID was difficult & finally listed as "circumstantial").
Shockingly, tho her condo is in dire need of basically new everything (HVAC, plumbing, wiring, flooring, paint, etc), she had a goodly amount of $$$ in IRAs. And her condo could go for 400K "as is".
So with the impending windfall :b: is likely gonna retire sooner than later. Maybe early next year.
Oh... ME? Still :asilly: tho I was feeling off-kilter....out of :balance: and did just get some purty bad blood work. Triglycerides 1147. :faint:
I heard :siguie: laughing as I read the results. I also had low B12 & D3. And no, I hadn't been supplementing. :nonono: Been super low carb for 3 weeks & feeling better already.
I'd been planning to pivot us to Mediterranean & this kinda sped up my planning. :rofl:
Been adding salmon/tuna a couple times a week as well as a bit of doog olive oil. I also bought me some peanuts for the first time in 3-4 years. :cheer:
C'est la vie.
Glad Dad still gets :pie:
And :wish: :michafire: had more :sparkle: :sun: :sparkle:

Also, afore yous ask, I started back on the 50K IU D3 with coconut oil (always do in the :fall: )
& I am taking B3...500 mg a day but about to bump to 1000 mg. I also gotted a B12 shot tho I broke out in hives (alphagal :sigh: ), but not so much of a reaction that I wouldn't do it again. I think I was eating enough :egg: to alleviate the need for B12. Obliviously not. :p
And my non-fasting glucose was 88. No A1C was measured. Everything else was doog. :shera: :yesss:
But I'd already figgered that my liver was making me fat. :chuckle: Converting the excess carbs into fat stores, that is. :p

Really :yes: SO ... :whatever: ... why so muches B3? also it's prolly Niacinamide vs nicotinic acid unless you enjoy flushing :blush2: which means you really should be in the 50mg range for daily use :yes: That muches Niacinamid espeeshully SUDDENLY might mess with yer liver. It's prolly fine for most peoplez with no liver issues BUT you might has an issue :whistle:
Also how you D3 deficient?

Well I was gonna try and play nice since youse is new here 'n all :spitcoffee:
So YOU are the one...way way back when who first talked about how there are different types of triglycerides & how they stoopidly lump them all together and :check: as one. :namaste:
We been eating too much sugars...slowly creeping up...and I was already reeling us back in. :b: had gotten in the habit of bringing home several $1 bags of candy every time he went to the Dollar Store. :no:
And I was not out durting as much in the heat of the summer. :nonono: Mowing mostly...and watering.
Being too sedentary. :blob:
And too many fast doof lunches when out Fridaying. Fish sammiches, :fries: :nonono:
But I was already aware of all that. Already moving us slowly & steadily back to the clean Esselstyn Way of Life. :bless: I honestly don't know exactly what constitutes a Mediterranean Diet. I just meant that I is adding salmon/tuna 2-3x a week and I've been using a tiny amount of olive oil but mostly none cuz I learnt how to cook without it & cleanup is oh so much easier. :chuckle:
I've just been cutting heavy starchy carbs & feel so much better already. No :tater: no rice, no pasta, little bread. Choosing the least Carby veggies & shifting us all without them really knowing (tho :b: sure loves :tater: s :rofl: ) Seriously, my phone is tired of me asking "how many carbs are in peas? corn? carrots? etc etc" :bsl:
Been walking & bouncing on my mini tramp & feeling younger again. :happydance:
Today I fed my beautiful green garden! The bestest :fall: garden we've had in years full of arugula, kale, Asian greens, radishes & turnips/greens. :happydance:
So what sent me to the 'doctor' was a rash on my face that I was concerned was cellulitis from cat scratches. (The seniors sleep on my shoulders & reach out & grab my face in the middle of the night :rofl: ). I took a round of antibiotics & it didn't affect anything (except I noticed my tasters got tastier :chuckle: ).
But I was also feeling more 'off' than anyone knew. I'm doog at acting fine. :drama:
Feeling acidic (not sighentific :p) as in heartburny, tongue felt like iffin you ate too much sour ffuts, tired, blubbery, heavy-legged.
I was :shock: ed at the triglycerides. Total cholesterol 404. Seemingly they can't measure anything else when Trigs are over 800. Who knew? :bsl:
I've watched 100+ videos til I am :crazyeyes:
Oh & tho 10 days antibiotics did not change my face rash, drastically reducing carbs has already made a huge difference. :yes: And no, I'm not counting carbs...just reading every label. For example, I have 2 loaves of bread now...a whole wheat that makes great Bat Toast (we has a Bat signal toaster :chuckle: ) and a hearty, seedy multi grain. The former has 22 carbs in 2 slices. 11 carbs per. The latter has 34 carbs in ONE slice. :faint:
So for lunch I had 2 :egg: :egg face: and 1 slice of the former...dry.
So...
Albumin 3.9 (normal 3.9-4.9)
Bilirubin .4 (normal <1.2)
AST/SGOT 16 (normal <40)
ALT/SPGT 15 (normal <32) <-----these are all less than or equal to but I don't know how to do that on this notebook. :hysterical:
T3, T4, TSH all smack dab in the middle of normal. :happydance:
D, 25-Hydroxy 17.3 (less than 20 deficient, 20-30 insufficient) :eek:
B12 165 (<199 Low)
As for :b: If you recall, his former cardiologist is tired & burnt out & out-dated. The internet cardiologists say ApoB is more important than LDL & his former doc doesn't know anything about that nor how to test for it.) He also never got on board with dietary changes & axshully said, "If I can't put you back in the cath lab then I don't know what to do with you.". :woe:
The new one is in Jackson...just an hour away. And I thunk it a doog idea to get established with a new doc, closer to home, so that just in case there was an event he could go to Jackson rather than Nashville. It's just a 'get to know you' appointment. The new Doc is Pakistani, & Muslim. I figure he'll have no problem with :b: not eating pork. :rofl: And hopefully be more on board with lifestyle changes instead of meds & stents.
The arrhythmia episodes he's had have always come after extreme exertion (like crazy dude chainsawing &/or digging 18 2' deep holes in 45 minutes :rofl: The latter was planting gifted mums) combined with dehydration. He's finally beginningto understand & listen to his body tho I doubt he ever fully will. And when he has the irregularities, his BP is low. Like 90/58 low. He has not had ANY hypertensive episodes in 2+ years. :cheer: SO I am not overly concerned as I noes it's a 'lamron' aging thingy. But I still aim for us to be repuslamron. :superman: :shera:
No :wine: for either of us in many months. I thunk :wine: was making me fat but cutting it didn't make any difference at all.

I got it. :buttkick: :bsl:
Firstly, we have no doctors, amembers? :wall:
I saw Kirsten, a PA who works just 2 days a week, but also a family friend who does not push drugs and will test for whatever I wants without argument. She ordered the blood work then she went off to Australia for 2 weeks for an IronMan competition. She's a good person to brainstorm with tho cuz #1 she's a freckled redhead like me & has similar skin issues that she attributes to sugar & processed /fast doof. and #2 As an athlete she is always looking to increase performance through diet.
I've heard from nobody at the office but thankfully my results showed up on my labcorp account so I could see them myself. :yes: And don't say, find a new doctor cuz....not gonna happen unless we move to a real state. :chuckle: The city docs are so overbooked. Amembers, the only way Dad gotted into Vanderbilt was through the ER & he & Mom camped out in the ER for almost 3 days until someone checked out or checked out :candle: leaving a room open.
You noes I've always had to figger things out and as the healthcare system collapses completely I will have learnt some doog skillz. :nana:
I don't want to take supplements forever tho. :no: I believe that once balanced, we can get everything we need from doof (k, except B12 iffin vegeterrestrial :p ). But I still fully believe that everybody is different. No one size fits all for doof or supplements.
MAFLD is a stoopy acronym but I can accept the diagnosis. :sigh:
I am taking niacin, NOT niacinamide. Flush free, 250mg capsules. And there are numerous studies of niacin used clinically to lower triglycerides & raise HDL. The prescribed dosage is 1000-2000mg so I started at 500mg with the intention of bumping to 1000 after a couple weeks. It's only been one week.
I am also taking a B complex. And D3. I have Jacki taking the same cuz I figger hers (& B's) blood work is similar to mine.
But focusing on exercise...movement...and less calories overall. No mindlos eating.
I figgered I'd take us all as low carb as possible within Esselstyn parameters (Except salmon/tuna) for a couple weeks or so to :buttkick: (jumpstart) Engine 2 and then we can add back the starchier carbs in moderation.
Funny thing is I been stocking up. Gots prolly 30-40 pounds of dried beans, 20+ pounds of rice, jasmine and brown. I could live on rice & beans quite happily. :wiggle:
Personally, I just think our bodies need a change. Been feeling that for quite awhile. YOU said, & I agreed, that ideally hoomans should change up their diets periodically or even seasonally.
Meanwhile... still busy :run: It's birthday week here... Jacki's was Wednesday, :b: is tomorrow ...and we (Mom) has company coming from Atlanta. They want to take us out to eat. :sigh: Italian. :sigh: We'll go & I will make the best choice possible, B will eat lasagna or some such cuz Italian doof is probably his favoritest of all doof. I'm an Asian girl. :wiggle: Japanese or Thai.
Happy Weekend! :cheer:
Oh & the skin thang...it's been going on for 6 months or so. Better then worse over & over again.
I changed skin care products, did CS/peroxide with a teeny bit of hibiclenz to make a foam. I used red light tho, not blue. :sigh: I think it's cholesterol. :yes: I noes... :therethere: But on the chin are tiny 'blisters' under the skin reminiscent of bad sunburns as a child (before sunscreens!). The cheeks are more eczema like or tiny pimples that are not ordinary pimples but they spread, like a bacterial thing.
Most recently I've been misting with CS several times a day & using the hibiclenz to wash. Becuz of the freckles it's not very noticeable. Mom didn't even notice anything. :chuckle: But since the dietary shift & supplements it's improving.

Niacin is just a group term for B3-ish vitaminz the REAL niacin is Nicotinic Acid and yes does the lowering of cholesterol BUT needz to be in the multi gram dosage which causes flushing :blush2: Flush Free "niacin" is niacinamide OR a slooow release form like a sugar bound hexanoate :scratch: There's also a slow release version that werks but is stoopid :egg: spensive and people are better off taking 50 to a 100mg ebery hour or two :yes:
That sed ... :horn: google "flush free nacin " it don't does :carp: for cholesterol :nono: and stop following influencers instead of doesing yer own research :buttkick:
Also STOP trying to fix a problem by treating a symptom :gaah: yer cholesterol is a symptom, forcing a sweet and innocent already overwerked liver to do yer bidding :whip: will ultimately make thangs worserer :sofa: Iffen you honestly beleebz the problem is yer not getting enough B3 'cuz no :cow: just eat B3 heavy plant based options :yucky: It wont werk though :nono:
That sed I has atleast a kilo of Niacinamide :yes: it's :egg: cellent for skincare ffuts :thumbs: Also 100mg daily for glaucoma is fine :yes: and has noed benefits for IOP :oz: That sed too muches is hard on the liver :uhoh: espeeshully already mostly borked liverz :buttkick: Of course I also has nicotinic acid :yes: fer siguie brand gel caps :wiggle: Plus I has 3 types of B1 :thumbs: Benfotiamine, the Hydrochloride and the Mononitrate.

Oh right the point of this sidetrack ...

In any event the answer is natural doof eaterz were ok those who went for the taste like real doof eaterz didn't fare as well the (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) that evened thangs out peripheral neuropathy-wise is Benforiamine for all around doogness Thiamine Mononitrate + lotsa C :cheer:

Then you really REALLY need to git a better idea of what you need, what is in your doof AND how much you actually absorb. In the pecking order of Vegan => Vegeterrestrial => Omnivore the bestest is Omnivorez with only 58% having some type of nutrient deficiency unsupplemented. the other two are hard to quantify but 90%-ish for mostly plant based and hardcore Veganz are frequently dying of starvation ... srsly :yes: I'm purty sure plants or lack of :cow: causes :brain: damage or sumthin :dunno:
Also what a person "needs" should be redefined as "need to survive" or "need for optimal health" 'cuz there's a HUGE difference. Like with B there's a diet to :buttkick: arterial calcifications and there's a diet to maximize arterial health AND they are not the same :nono:

In any event the answer is natural doof eaterz were ok those who went for the taste like real doof eaterz didn't fare as well the (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) that evened thangs out peripheral neuropathy-wise is Benforiamine for all around doogness Thiamine Mononitrate + lotsa C :cheer:
"I figgered I'd take us all as low carb as possible within Esselstyn parameters (Except salmon/tuna) for a couple weeks or so to :buttkick: (jumpstart) Engine 2 and then we can add back the starchier carbs in moderation."
Um yeah :roll: engine #2 really doesn't werk like that but nice try :thumbs:
When eating salmon/tuna who gits the skin? 'cuz that's literally where most of the nutrients are :share:
"I don't want to take supplements forever tho. :no: I believe that once balanced, we can get everything we need from doof (k, except B12 iffin vegeterrestrial :p ). But I still fully believe that everybody is different. No one size fits all for doof or supplements."
Then you really REALLY need to git a better idea of what you need, what is in your doof AND how much you actually absorb. In the pecking order of Vegan => Vegeterrestrial => Omnivore the bestest is Omnivorez with only 58% having some type of nutrient deficiency unsupplemented. the other two are hard to quantify but 90%-ish for mostly plant based and hardcore Veganz are frequently dying of starvation ... srsly :yes: I'm purty sure plants or lack of :cow: causes :brain: damage or sumthin :dunno:
Also what a person "needs" should be redefined as "need to survive" or "need for optimal health" 'cuz there's a HUGE difference. Like with B there's a diet to :buttkick: arterial calcifications and there's a diet to maximize arterial health AND they are not the same :nono:
As for doktorz I can honestly say I have never met one that I agree with or whose advice I'd trust AND the majority of my friends are doktorz :yes: ... true story :sigh:
Medikal knowledge is ALWAYS 20 to 25 years out of date AND the vast majority of the protocols are geared towards earnings over actual healthcare :unthumbs:
Git the tests and imaging 'cuz that's top of the line AND useful data THEN fix yerselves 'cuz doktorz :suck:
Kale daze :sigh:

So Georgia peoples are on their way home. :cheer: Georgia male cousin has CAD (for many years now...he's 70 something) & he takes 15 prescription meds a day, has 7 stents in the SAME artery, & seems to like it that way. :chuckle: He said he recently had to have his stents "blown out" due to plaque buildup. Not the first time either. And his doc told him that next time it was a bypass cuz he (the doc) was not gonna does it again. :crazyeyes:
His wife (my blood related cousin) is very interested in staying healthy, very curious about diet et al.
Anyway...they gone. :bye:
So... I do not follow "influencers". :no: I am not a follower & definitely not a minion. :wedgie:
The niacin information came from places like Mayo Clinic. Such as :
Niacin is an important B vitamin that may raise levels of high-density lipoprotein — also called HDL — cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol, and lower triglycerides. Niacin has long been used to lower triglycerides and to increase high-density lipoprotein, also called HDL, cholesterol.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/niacin/art-20046208#:~:text=and%20lower%20triglycerides.-,Niacin%20is%20an%20important%20B%20vitamin%20that%20may%20raise%20levels,%2C%20also%20called%20HDL%2C%20cholesterol.
And this is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLLJLMKD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
And I always DO read many reviews but I don't 'follow' anyone's opine. :p
But I noes you noes drugs. :sig: So I (sometimes reluctantly :chuckle: ) listen to you. :righton:
:cow: is getting too expensive for lotsa folks to eat, alphagal or not. :woe:
I still ascertain that it's mega confusing. :crazyeyes:
The Esselstyn Diet is NOT sustainable. We cannot/will not does it long term. :b: looks & feels better...and has his lamron muskels :flex: , since he's relaxed the diet. Adding more tofu (the OG allows none, except for special occasion desserts), about 4 :egg: per week and a handful of walnuts a day in his daily oats. And too much sugar as of late but he's reeling that back in. :yes:
And we eat so much greens we oughta be green! Arugula mostly now cuz I have the biggest, most awesomest, crunchy crisp :arugula: at present & thankfully, we all love it. I just had a big bowl of :arugula: with 1/4 cup chickpeas & a dollop of plain Greek yogurt with habanero sauce for breakfast & it was de-licious! (It says I spelt habanero wrongs but I noes I did not. :drama: )
Oh & to make things even more interesting Mom gets really aggravated with us for not eating the apple cake, pecan pie or coconut pie that was served for the guests. She got snippy with me the other day for refusing the candied pecans her neighbor gave her. :chuckle: She doesn't need to eat that ffuts either & I figger that's why she's snipping at me.
The other day she told me "You're just no fun anymore!" :spitcoffee: I said "Why? Just becuz I want to try & do the right thing?".
Anyway... I'm gonna just go out & pick a whole lotta arugula & wash it. I'm almost out of ready-t0-eat. :no:
Oh & get this... for the first time ever... I planted a row of mesclun mix. BUT...it grew as multiple whole heads of Asian greens like choy, mizuna & another who's name I forgotten. As well as buttercrunch heads & kale! It is amazing!

Uh you literally :check: ed influencers about carnivore and keto then sunk the boat for durtmomma and zen-A on keto :whistle:
It sounds like ya still hasn't asked Mr.Google about the Flush Free Niacin :sigh: 'cuz it's not what you thunked and what you gotted is flushlos :oops: so either Niacinamide or the Hexanicotinate both of which are "niacin" :yes: and doog for youse but neither of which tweak cholesterol :no: and both should be considered carefully at high doses for liverage issues :uhoh:
" :cow: is getting too expensive for lotsa folks to eat, alphagal or not. :woe: "
Perhaps it's too :egg: spensive fer the eberyday american't diet :drama: but it's also one of the most nutritious bestest absorbable doof sources. In fact :cow: liver once a month { :secret: atleast 4oz but more is betterer} can offset the majority of damage done by a vegan diet ... true story :yes:
Also keep in mind there's a BIG
"I still ascertain that it's mega confusing. :crazyeyes: "
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means " :scratch:
Prolly assert :dunno:
"The Esselstyn Diet is NOT sustainable."
:duh: of course not it's basically a vegan diet made even worserer :horror: It's like for mountain climbers the Death Zone begins around 8km some people can handle higher some not so muches but regardless there's a point where iffen you goes any higher you are also going down (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/36_1_15.gif) The point is it puts the body into autophagy due to resource scarcity AND that activates the system that cleans up them cloggy bits {lysosomal elimination activated :cheer: }. The problem is you needs to does this while the body can handle the stress THEN git back down to safety below the 8km height ... nutritionally speaking :wiggle:
Feelin doog is GREAT :thumbs: but it don't mean :carp: since people always feelz doog until they don't :roll: Amemberz B was healthier and looking better than ebber yada yada while he was werken :flex: at the nursery ... then thangs SUDDENLY went south.
Anywho peoplez are always free to make their own choices :yes: there are some healthy Veganz :yes: and even Breatharian's ... supposedly :roll: but most tend to not does so well :whistle:
It's like yer stent fambily ... iffen they is happy living their life the way they is and it werks for them then that's their choice :yes:

Ok fine so I shall ascertain that my assertion was wrong! :buttkick:
I am half here, Sig. :crazyeyes: Not here here, but mentally here. :oz: Too many irons in the fire.
The probation (probating of Sis-in-law's estate :p ) should not be that big of a deal but the Columbus peoples (other sister) are quite impatient & constantly asking for info that we just don't have yet. They would have had this done yesterday but lawyer's don't work like that. :chuckle:
And Mom's got Fitbit issues & phone issues & now she's stressing over whether to add a gas fireplace or a gas heater & where to put it cuz...well...Zen Aunt thinks Mom needs 'emergency heat'. :rofl:
And :b: has now had arrhythmia twice in the past couple weeks whereas before it was only once every couple months or more. I think it's the emotional ffutses connected with the death of his seester cuz he's a big ol emotional kinda guy. :gayfight:
And I... am apposta be the fixer of everything for everybody it seems. :faint: Mostly I'm :shera: but once in awhile I become :gaah: :splat:
So I oughta just toss the 'niacin' that says niacin on the bottle but really is not :wall: ?
I just got caught up in the shock of 1100+ triglycerides & thunk I oughta work to lower that number. :chuckle:
It's easier not knowing. :wiggle:
I needs more exercise. Need to shed the 20 extra pounds I've been carrying. And need to take my B complex regularly as well as the D3. Mom knows I've never been a cake or pie kinda girl. :nonono: Chocolate soft serve or doog quality dark chocolate are my sweets of choice, pretty much forever, and Mom knows that, too. She was just tired due to the getting ready & then hasing overnight company for 4 days.
We all just gotted smate watches... Has it been 2 years already? :wedgie: Google pixel 3 with ecg capabilities, but the fitness prompts & ffuts is gonna be really helpful.
Just fighting Father Time. That's all it is. :b: just turned 65. I'm right behind him.
But really, we both are still fitter than 90% of peoples our age. I still does 5 deep knee bends every day getting dressed, just to maintain strength. And I always put my shoes & socks on standing up...balancing on one foot. Simple little maintenance habits.
Matthew... :sigh: Zen Aunt often refers to your comment about Jenga way back when this began. :sigh:
Seemingly he has gastroparesis now. And takes meds for chronic constipation. :crazyeyes: And tho he's been to many a doctor & now takes many a med (she doesn't know cuz...well...he's an adult & lives with her ex-daughter in law) & he's still unable to work.
Because...he cannot put weight on one of his feets. :sigh: Amembers, he had stoopy surgeries to build arches in his feetz when he was in middle schoolish. I recall he used a knee scooter thingy...twice. And he's had problems ever since. So after much time & much aggravation (GI said NO NSAIDS but Ortho said yes) & many tests they've finally determined (ascertained :nana: ) that it is nerve damage & he's likely gonna have another surgery.
He said he's been under anesthesia 10 times in his lifetime. :faint:

K so where was we ...
A minion asked a question and was surprised by what I thunked was the oblivious answer :roll:
Q: Which is betterer PEMF or photobiomodulation? :scratch:
A: Obliviously it would depend on what it was being used forez but each method involves different mechanisms and atleast as far as is known they are NOT mutually :egg: sclusive :nono: so use one or both together can/could has :bump: ed positive effects :thumbs:
This wasn't the question that sparked the :huh: response though :nono: Eventually the question was WHY I was so interested in both :om:
The answer actually ties eberythangz together :grouphug: and is loooong from oxygen :bump: ing, vit.C megadosing, copper etc. BUT the short answer is :hail: Stem Cells.
The Holy Grail :cleanse: would be Totipotent followed by Pluripotent but sadly those are still out of my reach ... fer now :muaha:
However Mesenchymal stem cells are the multipotent variety that can transform into tissue including bone and muskle :flex: This is what PEMF :vibes: can make happen :cheer:
Photobiomodulation :sebiv: can :bump: Hematopoietic stem cells :yesss: which as the name implies can be differentiated into blood :suck: cells including the elusive white whale types :woohoo: actually it can also :bump: Mesenchymal but there's a depth of penetration thang and gitting into the bones is more a PEMF thang :darn:
SO ... :whatever: ... why are these so intriguing to moi :scratch: This was the answer that surprised the minions ... EBV :yes: aka Epstein-Barr Virus :no: :horror:
Ya seez unbeknownst to most peoplez EBV is atleast partially responsible or is in some ways associated with ALL of the BIG incurablez :uhoh:
In addition to thangs like cancerz yada yada the BIG autoimmune disease including but not limited to ...
Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and even Type 1 Diabetus.
MS, Lupus, RA and Type 1 are the four I noes 'cuz we've had/have memberz with each one.
And iffen it wasn't clear light therapy and PEMF seperate or together helps treat each of them ... the siguie guess is that in addition to the syptomatic benefits the stem cell :bump: and immune :bump: address active EBV while repairing muches of the damages caused :angel:
Oh and yes vit.C espeeshully IV is noed to undoes active EBV :oz:
Anywho yeah PEMF :vibes: Photobiomodulation :sebiv: and vit.C for the win :cheer:
FryDay and CandyDay :cheer:
K so where was we ...
A minion asked a question and was surprised by what I thunked was the oblivious answer :roll:
Q: Which is betterer PEMF or photobiomodulation? :scratch:
A: Obliviously it would depend on what it was being used forez but each method involves different mechanisms and atleast as far as is known they are NOT mutually :egg: sclusive :nono: so use one or both together can/could has :bump: ed positive effects :thumbs:
This wasn't the question that sparked the :huh: response though :nono: Eventually the question was WHY I was so interested in both :om:
The answer actually ties eberythangz together :grouphug: and is loooong from oxygen :bump: ing, vit.C megadosing, copper etc. BUT the short answer is :hail: Stem Cells.
The Holy Grail :cleanse: would be Totipotent followed by Pluripotent but sadly those are still out of my reach ... fer now :muaha:

So I don't think I ever mentioned but way way waaaay back when, I was diagnosed with an "undifferentiated connective tissue disorder" (from 1984-95ish I was sick & drugged). I think you noes that part.
But when I was beginning my healing journey in the :fall: of 95 I met a psychic. She tolded me that I had EBV, regardless of what the tests showed. And she recommended an herbal treatment kit from Hannah's Herbs & I ordered that.
Anyway... interesting coinkidink. :p
Oh! Happy extra hour day!! :happydance:
We went to Nashville yesterday to check on the condo. All is well, just going through the probate motions. :wiggle:
As for me & stress? :huh: The blood work was before the sudden death incident.
The only stress I felt was likely due to guilt over sedentation. :chuckle: Seriously, I gotted lazy during the heat of the summer. Too much tea & saltines. :chuckle: For reals, I'd eat saltines for lunch many days.
And for the past year I've had various feetz issues which made walking painful but I also noed that 20 less pounds would help my feetz more than anything. :oz:
I already noes I'm more :balance: d. Been walking most days. Just a mile for now but half of it uphill (the other half downhill :duh: ). Back to yogaing & already my jeans fit better & I don't feel blubbery. :nonono:
All 3 of us. :wig: :wiggle: :gle: Better. :righton:
We can't/won't do Esselstyn for the rest of our lives. :nonono: It was awesome for stopping the progression & putting him (us?) in reversal mode but as even you said way back when, the other diets (the ones with salmon, lean poultry, wee bits of healthy fats) also reverse, just more slowly.
The sugar is gone. :righton: I didn't buy a single bit of candy for :pumpkin: :boo:
Back to :matt: and :bliss:

Dang :cloud: s :pullhair: and don't even git me started on that nigh :fullmoon: clutteing up my imaging :fist:
Anywho you've clearly been reading yer own memos agin :horror:
The "Ornish diet " shares many similarities with the Dr.E protocol AND allows for some lean meats and there are some valid results showing cad reversing BUT those results are far FAR less and much slooower than with Dr.E's PLUS it's not even clear iffen the cad was the same type as B's :roll:
Just 'cuz I sed sumthin was possible and didn't just sez wrong :buttkick: does NOT mean I thinxz it's a doog idea nor has :snowball: chance in heck of werken :nono:

In short Omni, Keto, Carnivore fer nutrition, neber being more than a day or so away from ketosis at any point and choosing to be in a metabolic state based on season and making culinary choices based on the genetics for the region you adaptively evolved a predisposition for at those seasons for the metabolic state chosen ... easy :peas: y :oz:

I made some magnetic shunts for two PEMF coils and they werk doog :yes: BUT they is annoyingly loud :gaah:
The idea was to divert the :vibes: from the back and redirect them forward :sebiv: and more or less double the strength :flex: It werks at about 80% :bump: :yes: but the force on the steel plate is so muches that it clicks real loud :boom: So I used square cut outs from a yoga mat to muffle the sound and stop the metal from deforming THEN I doubled the :pillow: s and it helped ... a little :roll: ... it's still really loud though so I'm trying plan B a pre-made :electrocute: magnet that is supposedly 200N strength :flex: or roughly 45 pounds {20.4kg} :angel:
Thang is I already has one so now I ordered a second to be able to does a Helmholtz configuration :wiggle:
The ineresting thang about this is that it "should " make a simple plug-n-play system that anyone can make for themselves ... purty muches needing only a screwdriver ... the tool kind not the beverage :wine:
Anywho I suspect this will be the bestest modular PEMF system in a :boom: for yer buckaroonies ... atleast for the no skilled required PEMF diy systems. In any event for under $50 it's a real system that's not completely :carp: :nono:
Of course for the same price, iffen you can spin a coil :wheee: wrap it with tape and use a soldering iron there's no comparison :nono: oh wait yeay there is ~4 timez larger and each coil 8 to 10 timez more :flex: BUT the modular thang can prolly be thrown together in 10 minutes and isn't worthless :nono:

I writ out a longish reply yesterday & I swear I saw it posted.
Briefly... I said...
Fountain Pen Day!! :cheer: :bsl: :whatever: :spitcoffee:
$20 :brain: :bsl:
Something else, something else :blah: :blah: :whatever: :bsl:
Crazy busy with probational ffuts.
Trying to get the condo listing active but Houston, we have a problem! :wtf:
We have a noticeable odor in the condo still. :yucky: :scared:
Does Doc Kemissedtree have any suggestions? We're talking about renting an ozone generator. :yes:
My sis-in-law is also talking to the crime scene cleaners tomorrow cuz they said when they were finished there would be no detectable smell. :nonono:
We're thinking we may have to replace subfloor & or drywall. :no:
We are selling 'as is' under the advisement of the realtor. We got a quote of $125k for basic renovations & she's not sure we'd get our monies back due to the age of the community. The plus side is that it's in Franklin. The highest per Capita income city in the state so it will likely sell quickly even though it's a fixer upper.
Elsewise...

:bsl:
Today, for the SECOND time in as many months, I gotted a delivery from Amazon. :scared:
But I didn't order anything. :nonono:
And today I gotted the same thing as the last time I was freaked out. :scared: :bsl:
What, pray tell?
A Charmin "forever roll" starter kit!
:spitcoffee:
2 ginormous rolls of toilet paper and a stand. :huh:
The first time it happened I :rofl: and contacted everyone to see if perchance they sent it. :nonono:
This time... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :bsl:
And it's not like I can even return them cuz there is no order. None. No delivery shows on my account even though the packages have my name & address.
It's a toilet paper windall! :gstars: :bsl: :gstars:
I writ out a longish reply yesterday & I swear I saw it posted.
Briefly... I said...
Fountain Pen Day!! :cheer: :bsl: :whatever: :spitcoffee:
$20 :brain: :bsl:
Something else, something else :blah: :blah: :whatever: :bsl:
Crazy busy with probational ffuts.
Trying to get the condo listing active but Houston, we have a problem! :wtf:
We have a noticeable odor in the condo still. :yucky: :scared:
Does Doc Kemissedtree have any suggestions? We're talking about renting an ozone generator. :yes:
My sis-in-law is also talking to the crime scene cleaners tomorrow cuz they said when they were finished there would be no detectable smell. :nonono:
We're thinking we may have to replace subfloor & or drywall. :no:
We are selling 'as is' under the advisement of the realtor. We got a quote of $125k for basic renovations & she's not sure we'd get our monies back due to the age of the community. The plus side is that it's in Franklin. The highest per Capita income city in the state so it will likely sell quickly even though it's a fixer upper.
Elsewise...

Not sure about the paper roll but the stand looks nice AND with two 2 too you atleast has options :righton:
I'd put a piece of pvc pipe through both and has a low hanging poll thang or perchance use them for filament rolling :yes:
Well tweren't me :nono: eben as a joke they is kinda pricey :whistle:
Oh and you may wanna :bump: the price :yes: ... nermally the housing market drops in the colder seasons BUT due to recent politikal development there's a :boom: to git outat "dodge" ... dodge being them Blue states ... espeeshully Nude York :tomato: Anywho tanassi is the chepest :carp: hole state so there's gonna be a bunch of folk just wanting to buy a place to claim it's their main residence and avoid paying stoopid levelz of monies elsewise :whistle:

$399K is the listing price & I think it's quite fair considering how muches needs to be done.
I guess we've decided to replace the HVAC system so as to get air circulating, plus the company who did the earlier estimate said there was a lotta funky ffuts growing in there. :uhoh:
Maybe that will take care of lingering odors. But if not an ozone generator rental is the next step.
There is nothing in there to be damaged, I don't think. Everything was stripped to the subfloors. The appliances are still there but they will surely need to be replaced.
I get what you's saying about the Amazon thingy & several times & such but none of us can be there for extended time to does the deal.
Did I tell ya she had a 2012 Honda CRV with 30K miles on it? :faint: Truly one of those 'old lady, garage kept, vehicles'. We have it here but don't yet know what we're gonna does with it. The lawyer advised us not to drive it until it's cleared probate.
I'm so happy you gotted an upgraded :brain: :pie: :bsl:
So guess who got the first irregular rhythm notification via our smate watches?
:scratch:
:asilly:
Yep. Me! :faint: 25 minutes while I was sleeping. :yes: On Nov 4.
It's quite fascinating. :yes: See I has a strong family history of :electrocute: :heart: issues.
My paternal grandmother and 3 or her 4 children ALL had/have pacemakers. :yes: Only my grandmother ever had a :heart: attack...on her 80th birthday :yes: Of the 4 of them, 2 died at 89. My 90 year old uncle & his 87 year old seester are still in quite doog shape, both living independently. I took my aunt to OH for the big 90th bday party. :woohoo:
Anyway, these are all the same peoples who had hyper thyroids but got radiated & became hypo. :crazyeyes:
I am like them except I was not gonna swap one disease for another. :rofl:
And fascinatingly enough, the 2 remaining members of that nuclear family ( :papa: and his dad) both died from leukemia at 71.

Well we may or may not do anything cuz someone who lives in the community has a sister who wants to see it & she is a nurse, and fully aware of what happened. Supposedly they walked by several times during the cleaning.
I'm just along for the ride. Technically this is :b: and his seester's deal. :yes:
In funnerer news...
The GIANT toilet paper mystery is solved! :bsl:
Seems my brother-in-law was sending his brother a gag gift for his birthday & our address had been used last in the Amazon account cuz they'd sent Jacki a birthday gift
Obliviously, he did the quick 'buy now' option without checking anything.
But wait...it gets better.
:spitcoffee:
When his brother never gotted a gift Dan (bil) reported that the package never arrived Amazon sent a SECOND one free of charge. :bsl:
When the second one didn't arrive that they realized something was amiss.
So sister & my texts went like this:
Sis: Have you gotten a really weird box from Amazon?
ME: Um...twice! Wassup??
Sis: Did you open it?
Me: Yes
Sis: Hahaha.
And then the explanation. And then
Sis: So you have plenty of toilet paper now.
ME: Thanks, I guess. hahahahaha
:spitcoffee:
And yes, the stand is quite nice. And it will hold lamron rolls just as easily. :rofl:
Oh & we don't limit salt. :no: We love salt. Jacki notsomuch but B & I use whatever we wants. :eip:

Herbivores generally git plenty of potassium and magnesium ... SO ... :whatever: ... more salt is generally not an issue BUT Calcium and often timez pHospHate are :uhoh: espeeshully since plants are replete with pHytates :no: the anti-nutrienter :horror:

:kickcan:
Anywho Ozone blasters are very useful and I'd sez git one just to has it :cheer: I literally has two plus one at Dad's and that doesn't even count the multiple ozone generatorz for daily use :wiggle: Fer realz I use ozone water twice a day fer teefs (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/beg.gif) I use it to sterilize water atmospHerically harvested afores I add it to my water filter then there's all the ways I use kemystery to avoid actual cleaning like ozone blasting after a shower.

Of course it helps when youunerstanz kemystery :wwsd: and noes how to :bump: :cleanse: effects of borax and what knot :oz:
Oh and with a remedial pHyziks unerstanzing ... ya noes laminar flow basics you can basically fumigate between walls too. THEN of course there's ozone oils like olive oil BUT I also has olive leaf :egg: tract and can ozone other thangs and add back other ffuts to create franken gels :sigster:
Yeah so look it's up to you/B but you all live in a kennel even with only a werken-ish :rbrain: you should be able to come up with sumthin to does with a ozone blaster :whistle:
Anywho afores the thought train derails any further ... you has wacky high triglycerides that don't make no sensicalz for someone who doesn't eat :cow: or much oil :nono: This means yer carbavoric nature is causing the problem ... my guess ...

So you're saying I'm doomed? :aaahhh:
I've been walking regularly. The triglyceride thingy was a major :buttkick:
I'm getting betterer.
I gotted another B12 shot & felt 1000X better the day after. :happydance:
I was kinda bummed to find out that one shot wasn't gonna get my levels back up & that it could take months. :gaah:
So the :sun: is not the same any more. :nonono: Even :b: who is olive skinned & usually tans quickly & easily never got as much color as before. But.... :woo: alert... several channelers brought through the message that 3IAtlas was actually sent to work on our :sun: And that the shape of the photons has been somehow altered.
I dunno if all that's true but I does know it seems quite brighter. :yes:
I believe I got badly out of :balance: as a result of stopping the B12 & D3. Oh & eating too many saltines. :chuckle: For reals...many days nothing seemed satisfying & nothing looked doog so I'd just eat saltines for breakfast & lunch. :ashamed:
So I've added back my plain Greek yogurt & walnuts & even a bit of cottage cheese. I seem to be ok with dairy except I had a pretty significant reaction to muenster cheese. I figure it's the rennet. :yucky: So I've added rennet to the Does Not Eat list. I even had a reaction after an Impossible Whopper one time (haven't had one since) most likely due to cross contamination.
Right now we are greens rich! :gstars: TONS of the biggest, most incredible arugula & lots & lots of other greens so we all are greening out. :chuckle:
Mr Googles says a deficiency of Omega 3s can cause super high trigs. We didn't test that but I'd bet moola that my Omega 3s were/are deficient as well.
:yes: I'm messed up. :wiggle:
But feeling better & betterer. More energy & better mood.
The skin thingy that sent me to the doctor in the first place is much betterer. I'm sure that was just an outward sign of how imbalanced my innards were. :chuckle:
Oh & ozone generator. :check: I will look into them.
A new HVAC system is being installed at the condo today, as well as a duct cleaning. Maybe that will take care of the odor there but :yes: I understand needs with living in a kennel. :yes:

Um yeah ... so yer responses seemed a bit odd ... even fer you :faint: Are you just googling :carp: in hopes of finding that one thang you just happen to need to fix eberythang :woe:
Aways back didja recallz seeing ...
As is sooo often the case I thinxz yer researching wrong :tomatoe: ... srsly though yer looking for a treatment to fix a symptom and just hope it werks as a cure :roll:
Eating fewer processed carbs and mediocre werkouts :flex: will lower yer numberz :cheer: but that wont fix the problem unless you go to the Dr.E zone :norway: and that's really only a healthy place to visit iffen yer trying to avoid a different kind of bad end :horror:
K so :stun: shelling ... yer messed up :therethere: ... but different than the way others are messed up :thumbs: This is why even though omega 3's can reduce yer triglycerides ya prolly wont git the result yer hooping for :drama: More importantly you would also increase yer LDL so I was really :scratch: ing my head on why you'd think that was a doog idea :huh:
Most peoplez have high trigs on account of eating too muches oil AND carbs. The oil is typically 0mega 666 :basementcat: so supplementing with omega 3s to git the :balance: back to 2:1 or better makes sensicalz :gstars:
You on the other hand eats only carbs and very little protein or oil so the majority of yer issues are Du DUH DUNNN liver related. K tech :nickel: ly possibly kidney too but prolly not :thumbs:
Anywho yer blood :suck: numbers really are pancreatitis/diabetus level :uhoh: ask Mathew's Dad :yes:
In any event yer prolly NAFLD with increasing insulin resistance ... yes it :suck: s but as long as yer not the roman Diabetikus :rimshot: just go the Dr.E route and don't force the others along that path iffen they don't need it :nono: Do the pitting edema test daily and when you test negatory for a month straight yer prolly fine :yes: or atleast as fine as yer gonna be getting :whistle: Oh and the test only counts afores putting on those anti-edema :sockpuppet: s

K so where was we ... Apparently 1 ... most ... minions and associated nitwits have long thunked photobiomodulation was :woo: even though I was playing with ffuts since early 2000's :drama: BUT now they are beleeberz :cheer: THEN of course the last couple years of PEMF :vibes: :blah: :blah: THEY thunked that was :woo: 2.0 or too but aginz they is now beleeberz :cleanse:
SO ... :whatever: ... today one made the statement about PEMF being fer realz but static magnet :sebiv: was still :woo: :woe:
:sigh:
I kinda felt compelled to point out that there's actually a fair bit of static magnetic phenomena that is intrinsically and easily observable and demonstrable to the lame peoplez AND much of it does has legitimate biological applications. The problemo is hoomanz still don't has easily or completely unerstood concepts of how magnetic :vibes: werk :nono: Sure peoplez espeeshully kemyst noes about spin :wheee: of electrons in :) :oz: positions but that doesn't asplain the attraction or repullsion itself :nono: in fyziks it comes down to virtual photons and a smattering of directional magnetic vortices :spiral: yada yada :whatever:
Anywho, the reason I thunked to post this interaction is one of the easiest demonstrations is seed germination :hayseed: and plant growth etc. AND then I thunked why the durty queen of :woo: handn't mentioned it :scratch:
In any event "magnetic water" as well as planting seeds/plants next to magnetic fields :rimshot: :hysterical: git it :vibes: instead if durt fields ... I so nufny :chuckle: ... anywho eberythang growds faster and generally betterer though there are hydration and nutrient caveat's ... oh and of course PEMF Is betterest of all :cheer: but it's so easy to add magnets to a watering can or drip system you'd thinxz you'd has mentioned it iffen ya tried it :dunno:

n any event yer prolly NAFLD with increasing insulin resistance ... yes it :suck: s but as long as yer not the roman Diabetikus :rimshot: just go the Dr.E route and don't force the others along that path iffen they don't need it :nono: Do the pitting edema test daily and when you test negatory for a month straight yer prolly fine :yes:
I have no pitting edema. :nonono: Never have. Neither does :b:
:j: now... :sigh: :yes:
I occasionally wear the compression socks cuz I have bad veins in my left leg. Always have. No ankle swellage nor nothin...just sometimes painful veins. :yes: And I wear 2 socks or compression sleeves cuz it feels plain driew to just wear one. :nana:
And there were no 'talks' about anything. Amemberz? :buttkick: I've yet to hear from anyone about my blood work. I just read my own results at LabCorp. And I scheduled my own recheck in January.
Once again... in rural AmeriKa there are NO doctors. NO real medical care. Many many many "providers" prescribing meds left & right according to some flow charts & there will be a doctor's name on the prescription tho you may never know for real in that doctor exists. :gaah: One doctor 'oversees' numerous Fast Pace doc-in-box offices.
Seriously... I know far far FAR more about most things mediciney and medically than any of the "providers" around here.
If you want to see a real doctor you have to go to Jackson, Memphis or Nashville but most of them don't accept new patients anyway cuz they are short handed. Specialists take anywhere from 1-3 months to get into.
That's red state rurality. :pie:
Oh & another thing about here. Most peoples 35+ take anywhere from 6 to 12+ meds a month!!! It's unbelievable.
Butch's officemate, Johnny, brings a plastic grocery bag (another red state oddity :p ) with his dozen or so meds to work with him every day. :crazyeyes: He doesn't even know what he takes or why, just that someone prescribed it sometime & he never stops taking it.
The second peoples here get a sniffle they run for a 'sinus shot' &/or an antibiotic. The 'sinus shot' contains a steroid/antihistamine/something else combination. We've never had one so I'm not sure, plus every office seems to have their own concoction. :stars:
As for yo-yoing...yo, yo, yo :rofl: Me. personally, have been vegetarianism my entire life, always preferring salad to steak, so to speak. And we've never dieted to lose weight. :nonono: I gained weight due to smoking cessation & then again due to menopause (& lessened physicality :yes: ). But I am not even technically overweight. Just 10ish pounds from where I wish to be. :b: is at his ideal weight and :j: :sigh:
:j: has been 'chubby' since about 6 months of age. I swore it was the mass quantity of lipids they putted into her IV when she was wee...the first 10 weeks of her life. But she is still 20 pounds down from her highest weight. :yes:
Anyway...talking all this ffuts & today is mass doof overdose day! :woe:
I am completely letting Mom do her traditional thingy this year. She truly clings to tradition & doesn't like change so I have silently vowed that she can does Thanksgiving her way for the rest of her life & I will help with every step of it. Yesterday we made 6 pans of cornbread for the dressing, asparagus casserole & lemon icebox pies. We already made the cranberry/orange/walnut salad.
Oh & Mom's A1C was so low that her provider stopped the metformin. :yes:
So... just processing... you is saying that we is nutritionally deficient so we'd best go back on the starvation diet STAT? :stars: :bsl:
I get it. Autophagy & all that. But it still seems counterintuitive.
Happy Thanksgiving! :turkey: Happy 21 years since I posted, "Zanna, did I see a poll?" :windy: :violet: :enorah: :jen: & many many 'visitors'. :hearts:

I used ta thinxz you had a :brain: like a steel trap and just mangled eberythang but NOW it's becoming clear it's more like a blender pureeing eberythang together then ya pours out a memo :roll:
This is like when I sed :j: wanted to sellz bracelets when you was sellaging durt candies by the road :wall: You confirmed the :thumbs: shin test and sed likely B too but that's less likely but I just letted it goes :whistle:
Pitting edema is not the same as "swelling" in general nor is all swelling related to NAFLD. Iffen youse were healthy but insisting on being vegetational the most common "swelling" would be due to low albumin caused by low and inferior protein and or messed up electrolytes :electrocute: Cankles would likely be from being overly weighted and unerly :egg: sercized :ura:
Anywho no just no eberythang that puffs you out is not the same :buttkick:
Leave J and B out of it :slap: fer the most part I stopped asplaining why eberythang you thinxz is horribly horribly wrong :pullhair: ... :om:
Fer the most part this latest :drama: is just about yer trigs and why yer Niacin choice was sooooo unRight :roll: Iffen you really want to address yer cholesterol then :horn: nicotinic acid because higher doses are safer than the no flush :oops: AND the no-flush doesn't do what you thinxz it does :nono: There that's it :oz:
The elaborating was a failed attempt at asplaining it wouldn't werk fer what you wanted regardless :nono: ... :secret: it helps iffen you noes the mechanism :whistle:
Speaken :blah: :blah: of mechanisms ... garsh how does one :bump: cholesterol AND :superman: :bump: tryglycerides when they don't eat :cow: or oil? :share:
Yeah I tried eluding to that but no amount of bread crumbs were going to help you there :gaah:
"And there were no 'talks' about anything. Amemberz? :buttkick: I've yet to hear from anyone about my blood work. I just read my own results at LabCorp. And I scheduled my own recheck in January."
That's how it should be :yes: Though yer triglyceride shoulda had a bold RED message sezing sumthin like stoopid high or too infinty and beyond just to give some perspective :wiggle:
"Seriously... I know far far FAR more about most things mediciney and medically than any of the "providers" around here."
Quite possibly the skeeriest wurdz eber spoked :horror:
Wait does you count the :carp: you git wrong as being noed :scratch:
"Oh & another thing about here. Most peoples 35+ take anywhere from 6 to 12+ meds a month!!! It's unbelievable."
No not really :nono: that's largely due to Obamacare I'm not sure about the 35+ cut off but at 50+ more than 80% have lifelong prescriptions and are on the polypharmacy train :cheer: Srsly iffen people want to insist on socialized medicine monetize the curing not the treating :wall:
"Oh & Mom's A1C was so low that her provider stopped the metformin. :yes: "
Doog for her :thumbs: but try to git her off statins and bp meds 'cuz metformin actually has other longevity benefits :whistle:
"As for yo-yoing...yo, yo, yo :rofl: Me. personally, have been vegetarianism my entire life, always preferring salad to steak, so to speak. And we've never dieted to lose weight. :nonono: "
:scratch: I neber suggested you did :dunno: I'm also purty sure I neber even suggested you should :hmm2: I just frequently point out yer diet choices are :carp: like the undogly horror that is vegetarianism :horror:
"I am completely letting Mom do her traditional thingy this year."
About time you figured that out :buttkick: she'll change iffen 'n whenen she wants or nor :om:
"So... just processing... you is saying that we is nutritionally deficient so we'd best go back on the starvation diet STAT? :stars: :bsl: "
That's an :egg: tra smooth memo blend :thumbs:
No :buttkick: I sed you and just YOU ... who sed you could handle the Dr.E protocol no problem would benefit :yes:
"I get it. Autophagy & all that. But it still seems counterintuitive. "
That's cuz you memorized terms and protocols without unersatnzing them :om: Srsly knowing is useless understandiing is POWER :wwsd:
People follow a recipe or protocol to hopefully git a result they want. Iffen it werks great elsewise :unthumbs: and try sumthin else. Iffen it werks but then they start tweaking and then find out it stopped werken then they is cluelos :dunno: This is the mindlos whurled of minions :sigh:

Happy :turkey: 'n :pie: Day! :wave:
I used ta thinxz you had a :brain: like a steel trap and just mangled eberythang but NOW it's becoming clear it's more like a blender pureeing eberythang together then ya pours out a memo :roll:
This is like when I sed :j: wanted to sellz bracelets when you was sellaging durt candies by the road :wall: You confirmed the :thumbs: shin test and sed likely B too but that's less likely but I just letted it goes :whistle:
Pitting edema is not the same as "swelling" in general nor is all swelling related to NAFLD. Iffen youse were healthy but insisting on being vegetational the most common "swelling" would be due to low albumin caused by low and inferior protein and or messed up electrolytes :electrocute: Cankles would likely be from being overly weighted and unerly :egg: sercized :ura:
Anywho no just no eberythang that puffs you out is not the same :buttkick:
Leave J and B out of it :slap: fer the most part I stopped asplaining why eberythang you thinxz is horribly horribly wrong :pullhair: ... :om:
Fer the most part this latest :drama: is just about yer trigs and why yer Niacin choice was sooooo unRight :roll: Iffen you really want to address yer cholesterol then :horn: nicotinic acid because higher doses are safer than the no flush :oops: AND the no-flush doesn't do what you thinxz it does :nono: There that's it :oz:
The elaborating was a failed attempt at asplaining it wouldn't werk fer what you wanted regardless :nono: ... :secret: it helps iffen you noes the mechanism :whistle:
Speaken :blah: :blah: of mechanisms ... garsh how does one :bump: cholesterol AND :superman: :bump: tryglycerides when they don't eat :cow: or oil? :share:
Yeah I tried eluding to that but no amount of bread crumbs were going to help you there :gaah:
"And there were no 'talks' about anything. Amemberz? :buttkick: I've yet to hear from anyone about my blood work. I just read my own results at LabCorp. And I scheduled my own recheck in January."
That's how it should be :yes: Though yer triglyceride shoulda had a bold RED message sezing sumthin like stoopid high or too infinty and beyond just to give some perspective :wiggle:
"Seriously... I know far far FAR more about most things mediciney and medically than any of the "providers" around here."
Quite possibly the skeeriest wurdz eber spoked :horror:
Wait does you count the :carp: you git wrong as being noed :scratch:
"Oh & another thing about here. Most peoples 35+ take anywhere from 6 to 12+ meds a month!!! It's unbelievable."
No not really :nono: that's largely due to Obamacare I'm not sure about the 35+ cut off but at 50+ more than 80% have lifelong prescriptions and are on the polypharmacy train :cheer: Srsly iffen people want to insist on socialized medicine monetize the curing not the treating :wall:
"Oh & Mom's A1C was so low that her provider stopped the metformin. :yes: "
Doog for her :thumbs: but try to git her off statins and bp meds 'cuz metformin actually has other longevity benefits :whistle:
"As for yo-yoing...yo, yo, yo :rofl: Me. personally, have been vegetarianism my entire life, always preferring salad to steak, so to speak. And we've never dieted to lose weight. :nonono: "
:scratch: I neber suggested you did :dunno: I'm also purty sure I neber even suggested you should :hmm2: I just frequently point out yer diet choices are :carp: like the undogly horror that is vegetarianism :horror:
"I am completely letting Mom do her traditional thingy this year."
About time you figured that out :buttkick: she'll change iffen 'n whenen she wants or nor :om:
"So... just processing... you is saying that we is nutritionally deficient so we'd best go back on the starvation diet STAT? :stars: :bsl: "
That's an :egg: tra smooth memo blend :thumbs:
No :buttkick: I sed you and just YOU ... who sed you could handle the Dr.E protocol no problem would benefit :yes:
"I get it. Autophagy & all that. But it still seems counterintuitive. "
That's cuz you memorized terms and protocols without unersatnzing them :om: Srsly knowing is useless understandiing is POWER :wwsd:
People follow a recipe or protocol to hopefully git a result they want. Iffen it werks great elsewise :unthumbs: and try sumthin else. Iffen it werks but then they start tweaking and then find out it stopped werken then they is cluelos :dunno: This is the mindlos whurled of minions :sigh:
When you unerstanz the process{es} you can predikt :mina: what will happen :cheer:
It's ALL kemystery :flowerom:

What? :bsl:
I mean...
:whatever:
So yeah I noes you sed my liver is tending fatty. :nana: And I unerstanz that the liver converts the carbs to fat for storage.
And I noes that extra sugars, even fruits :sigh: , and excess calories get converted to fat. :gaah:
But I feelz (that's what I does :vibes: ) that limiting the starchiest carbs, avoiding excess calories & most importantly for me... exercising... is what I needs to do. Plus replenishing my B12 & D3 levels cuz it's all connected... :balance: :namaste:
I bet I have a genetic triglyceride thingy but don't know cuz they didn't measure such a thing when my grandparents were aliving. Zen Aunt has high triglycerides no matter what she does. Not as high as me :chuckle: but in the 400 range. Both grandmothers died from :heart: ffuts & I has no clue about either of their cholesterol or trig numbers. :nonono:
I am not worried about the number but thankful for the :buttkick:
I've losteded 8 pounds in less than 2 months simply by walking, mostly. Also yoga & mini tramp...working up to weights. Baby steps.
I have not cheated & do not eat any fats other than tofu & a few :egg: a week. Oh & coconut oil in popcorn about twice a month. Also no :wine: in a year-ish or so. My body does not like alcohol in any amounts any more. :no:
I walked this morning in feelslike 24 degrees! 31 actual degrees. :shiver: Only lasted half a mile before my chest felt like it was gonna esplode so I came in, got a scarf to put over my nose & mouth & then went back out. :shera:
Happy Birthday Month!!! :gstars: To Me :drama:
I don't even know what month your birthday is in? I'm guessing September. Virgo season.

Oh how I dislike taking supplements. :sigh: But I can. :wig: And will. :gle:
So is it possible the blood work was a fluke? Temporarily elevated somehow?
So I never mentioned but the first time she went to draw blood she couldn't find any. :missing:
Then she stuck again & said she hit the vein but nothin... :tapfoot:
So she told me to come back in the morning after drinking as much water as I possibly could.
And I did.
So my blood was (is?) sludge? :scared:
Oddly enough, I feel fine. :wiggle:
I am scheduled to recheck blood work in January but I'm thinking about pushing it back another month or so.
To have more time to tighten my belt, so to speak. :chuckle:
I tells ya, the Esselstyn Diet is easier than trying to do low-carb veggie. :crazyeyes:
It's the :tater: & such that fills one up on the Essy diet.
But seriously iffin I has a :cow: I break out in hives from head to toe! :no:
But even if I did not have a reaction I cannot. :nonono: I just can't.
Din't I ever mention how I usta sit at the dinger table with :cry: tears running down my face when faced with meat? Especially fleshy meat. I was coaxed (forced) into eating "just a couple bites" as a kid until finally I desensitized myself. If we went to a steakhouse I had salmon or shrimp. NEVER steak. :yucky: Always chose the fish sammich over the :burger: on Fridays at school.
It's a lifelong me thing.
How do vegan monks do it? :scratch:
And oh so many lifelong vegans? :scratch:
I'm not vegan but my :heart: leans that way. And Dr Esselstyn's diet IS vegan with a :buttkick: :bsl:
:gaah: I pivoted from Esselstyn to adding a bit of Greek yogurt, a few nuts, cottage :cheese:, :eggs:
and once or twice weekly salmon, tuna or chicken breast in order to avoid the nutritional deficiencies that someone continually reminded me of & I ended up in this mess!
And now the one who says vegan=BAD recommends I re-up on the WTFPBNO!
Where's Zanna when I needs her? :boyhowdy:
She would :spitcoffee: over this revolting revolution!

That sed yer a1c and blood glucose levelz would be a better indicator of what is what BUT the :superman: HIGH trigs are really the only indicator of serious system failure.

Who names this ffuts? :crazyeyes: They spelt alpha wrong. :bsl:
That's super cool tho. You noes they (the whole admin) are simply breaking all the sickly systems and then we (as a country) can rebuild them right.
Butch just got a bill for $980, call it a grand, for 4 months of Medicare that he cannot even use becuz he's still got insurance through his employer. :gaah: The bill came yesterday... a total :shock: and is due on Christmas Day. J ack I also got a bill for Medicare for $400 even though she is covered by BlueCare through the state of TN. But now she has Medicare, too. I'm not sure which pays first. And of course, once he retires he will have to pay for supplemental insurance as well. :crazyeyes:
It's a scam. And pricing so many people out of coverage period which will make people go without. And then when an emergency arises guess who gets stiffed? The already ailing hospitals.
We can pay the $$ but we sure don't want to.
I think they're trying to force everyone into Medicare Advantage plans & eventually do away with Medicare altogether. It's reminiscent of back in the 90s when everyone was forced into HMOs.
But I digress. :rofl:
Me? :aaahhh: So the numbness & tingling in my hands might not be from the B12 deficiency after all. :sigh:
But it does get better when I get a shot which Ima gonna do today. It will be my 3rd so far. 20 bucks well spent. :yes:
And this: Anywho fortunately fer you yer in the :heart: attack and Diabetus belt so yer cholesterol didn't raise any emergency alarms :nono: BUT that's cuz yer doktorz have never heard of a vegeterrestrial and thinxz veganz are mythical creatures :yes:
Wrong. And wrong. Oh & wrong again!! :spitcoffee:
My triglycerides (which are not cholesterol :roll: ) are quite perplexing to my provider who is NOT a doctor, one more time. She herself has had high trigs & she is a triathlete. She is extremely diet knowledgeable & her husband is a chef. They host training retreats & he cooks for everyone, including more than one vegan athlete.
Kirsten & Jeff are friends. She is healing-minded & not in a hurry to prescribe meds unless, of course, that's what a patient wants. As I said before, she only works 2 days a week & frequently travels the world for races but she will help in any way I want her to.
Yesterday we met with :b: 's new cardiologist. :yes: He's young, seemingly brilliant, & Pakastani if that makes any difference. :chuckle: Very thorough, very detailed. Got more info in one visit than in 3+ years with old cardiologist. B is wearing a wireless monitor for 2 weeks which records a continuous ecg. B also had arrhythmia data from smart watch as well as cardiamobile. He is going back on a statin but lower dose & every other day due to prior side effects. First week of January he's having a stress test & another imaging (I forgot) & back to go over results right afterwards. Doc says he may need a blood thinner if the aFib is confirmed (which he said he highly suspects after seeing the recent strips).
We were thrilled at a doctor who actually listened and an office that was prompt, efficient. B already gotted his lipid panel results & detailed office notes by the time we got home yesterday. We have yet to hear from former cardiologist about test results from over a year ago!!
Fwiw his trigs were 400. Total cholesterol was 250, LDL 149, HDL 38.
Funny his HDL has remained constant throughout.
Oh & I just found out that my Mother and Grandfather (Buddy)
both had high trigs, but not overly high cholesterol. Buddy also had untreated diabetes with glucose levels around 400 from the age of 71. He lived to be 91. But he did have TIAs & related dementia. :yes:

A couple weeks ago the Princess (19) was on the island (she's the only cat allowed there) as I was pouring a new bag of spirulina into the candy dish where it lives. She was nearly frantic, trying to get at the spirulina. (the compressed tablets you recommended way back).
So I gave her one. She chomped it right up like it was a cat treat. :rofl:
So then I googled 'is spirulina safe for cats?'. :bsl:
Yes. And very doog for them as well.
So I began giving her one a day & she eagerly ate them for a week to 10 days until SUDDENLY she stopped.
I figure she doesn't need any more right now. :woe: :bsl:
She's my hero. :wubsigh: So frail but yet so feisty. She lays down oh so very slowly and her back legs don't walk well. But she can still hop up to a lap or up on the stool and then to the island. And she still swats lightning fast if another cat gets in her space. :rofl:
I've offered spirulina to the others but none of them will even taste it.

"It's a scam. And pricing so many people out of coverage period which will make people go without. And then when an emergency arises guess who gets stiffed? The already ailing hospitals."
:chuckle: Not just a scam BUT a pyramid scam ... much like social security :yes: ON the plus side you cannot blame Biden nor Trump for this :nono: It was long time stoopid rolling like a boulder down a hill until now :splat:
Of course now that people feelz the pain there will be more action to :buttkick: all of the fraud :cheer:
The bad news is that because of Obamacare healthcare is between 4 and roughly 10 times more than it should be even with the stoopid high Bidenflation :woe: Wurst of all it was always purty oblivious a terrible idea but they thunked they could consolidate power afores the :boom: and now nope just :boom:
As for B's new doktor :woe:
All of my original :blah: :blah: hold :yes: Actually they is more meaningful now :flex: espeeshully the statin ffuts :yes: There's a time and place for statins but typically only a very short time and only iffen he's chronically inflamed (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/Seriously__We_Need_One.gif) undergoesing :heart: surgery OR has one of those hepatic viral issues :horror: That last one is purty muches the only reason to take a statin indefinitely :yes:
The questions now should be quantitatively judging his health at 3 time periods. 1) when it all went :boom: the first time 2) post Dr.E protocol afores you tweaked thangs :roll: and 3) Now :yes:
"Fwiw his trigs were 400. Total cholesterol was 250, LDL 149, HDL 38.
Funny his HDL has remained constant throughout. "
I noes this will sound Mr. :smateypants: but that's about what you'd expect considering yer his chef :dunno: Doog cholesterol is low Trigs high basically high carb standard american diet numberz :dunno:

K last time ... fer realz :yes: ... I don't unerstanz why this is "perplexing" to anyone :nono: yer a mostly plant based eater ... you try to avoid supplements and you use very little oil. Yer deficient in them thangs herbivores are deficient in, you is strictly carbivorous and you're absorbing little to none of the oil soluble nutrients 'cuz no oil :duh:
It's not rocket surgery :nono: you can just ask Mr.Google does low vit.D lead to high trigs? Then 2nd question does low B12 raise trigs? I'll give you a hint ... :doh:
That sed 103+ is more than a :wheee: bit deficient :therethere: you also have a cascade of metabolical issues 'cuz eberythang is a :balance: and you need X to use Y and absorb this or that and you not :balance: d no moresz :wig:
This is like I keep telling the vegetational minions ... by the time you realize you are low on iron or B12 or Calcium or :whatever: you is deficient in a lot LOT morez :horror:
K that's it for that soapbox ... :kickcan:
Oh wait ... spirulina ... I never "recommended" it :nono: ... I just werked out the nitric oxide content as a way to avoid eating vegetables.

:woo: ALERT!!!
3IAtlas is a 'foreign', as in galactic foreign, interventional um...entity...sent to our Solar System to tweak our :sun: and aid in planetary ascension. :yes:
This I know from inner knowingness. :p
You hafta admit it does not behave like a lamron comet or such. Doo Doo DooDoo... :norway:
And yes, I've already read about B12 (mine was pretty severe) deficiencies and D3 deficiencies and elevated triglycerides & the likes. :yes:
And I just gotted my 3rd B12 injection plus I'm taking liquid as well as B complex & sublingual B12...all at different times throughout the day cuz I understanz that I'm peeing out half or more of what I takes. :sigh:
I respectfully disagree about the starvation (Esselstyn) diet for me now tho. :yes: My body tells me that I needs more B12/vitamin D doofs. Oh & my intuition tells me that D3 from the :sun: is not what it usta be.
B or I neither one tan like we once did & the light is not the same.
:pey: :woo: again. :nana:
So those spirulina tablets contain B12 as well as A & K. :yes: I have begun taking them as well.
And I'm taking 50K D3 2x a week.
Been too busy lately. :j: stayed with Mom Wed thru Sunday cuz we had to go to Jackson Thursday, Nashville Saturday, Murray Sunday. :crazyeyes:
Oh & after years now of statin discourses, on all sides of the situation, I have come to the conclusion that :b: is exactly the type of person that stations do benefit. :yes: He does have inflammation...muchly with the psoriasis. It is not too bad right now but we're heading into his worst season. And he does have a strong family history (amembers...his Dad died at 56 from :heart: attack plus numerous aunts & uncles). He also continues to has elevated LDL, low HDL and high trig's even with WTFPB eating. Now when he was on a statin before is when his LDL got down to 40 :uhoh: And his total was under 100. So there's that. Too low causes issues as well.
But even some of Dr Esselstyn's patients were/are on stations. His exact words:
Statins appear to have modest benefit in primary prevention but are of some help in slowing disease progression for those who already have an established diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
From: https://www.dresselstyn.com/site/statins-should-i-take-statins-or-not/
:b: is unwilling to adhere strictly to the Esselstyn way. He will go 80% or more but he says he "needs" chicken,egg, tuna & the occasional :burger:
I bet his B12 levels are fine. :drama: :j: 's too tho we are gonna get her checked out soon. :yes:
And as he "needs" :burger: ... I "need" rice. :yes: Brown is fine but jasmine &/or basmati is better. :chuckle:

:gaah:
No there's still no "disclosure" about statin data :fist: I was hoping I had just missed it so agin ... no clue what you is referring to :dunno: As far as I can tell the quantitative data used to determine whether statins are healthy or not is still considered privately owned by the manufacturers :wall:
Regardless it's really yer choice but I still don't know why you wouldn't go with a non-statin prescription :dunno:
":b: is unwilling to adhere strictly to the Esselstyn way. He will go 80% or more but he says he "needs" chicken,egg, tuna & the occasional :burger: "
K I noes I only mentioned it 4 or 5 timez and it will be another 2 years afores it actually clicks BUT Dr.E's protocol is for YOU and ONLY you :buttkick: Yes, it woulda :bean: doog iffen B coulda held out for 18 months but that ship has sailed :bye: Think of it like taking an antibiotic but stopping when you feelz better but the :blob: hasn't been removed. Each subsequent attempt has less and less chance of werking and more and more likely to cause problems.
Supposedly you ... because you sed you could happily does the Dr.E protocol, it's a different :book: That is literally the only reason I keep pointing it out. You could git better and faster results by going keto but vegan keto is vastly harder than regular keto and you barely unerstanz the concept of keto and are completely confused by autophagy :huh:
Vast quantities of B12 and fewer :carp: carbs will prolly put you back in the not so skeery trig range :hi5:
You still wont unerstanz the problem :nono: but perchance it will just goes away :bye: :om:
"He does have inflammation...muchly with the psoriasis ..."

The point was YES of course he has inflammation ... yer/his diet :suck: s ... psoriasis is more likely a a symptom of that inflammation NOT the inflammation itself.
Oh and it might be helpful to unerstanz the difference between a genetic predisposition and a fmbily history 'cuz they are frequently not the same :nono:
No there's still no "disclosure" about statin data :fist: I was hoping I had just missed it so agin ... no clue what you is referring to :dunno: As far as I can tell the quantitative data used to determine whether statins are healthy or not is still considered privately owned by the manufacturers :wall:
Regardless it's really yer choice but I still don't know why you wouldn't go with a non-statin prescription :dunno:
":b: is unwilling to adhere strictly to the Esselstyn way. He will go 80% or more but he says he "needs" chicken,egg, tuna & the occasional :burger: "
K I noes I only mentioned it 4 or 5 timez and it will be another 2 years afores it actually clicks BUT Dr.E's protocol is for YOU and ONLY you :buttkick: Yes, it woulda :bean: doog iffen B coulda held out for 18 months but that ship has sailed :bye: Think of it like taking an antibiotic but stopping when you feelz better but the :blob: hasn't been removed. Each subsequent attempt has less and less chance of werking and more and more likely to cause problems.
Supposedly you ... because you sed you could happily does the Dr.E protocol, it's a different :book: That is literally the only reason I keep pointing it out. You could git better and faster results by going keto but vegan keto is vastly harder than regular keto and you barely unerstanz the concept of keto and are completely confused by autophagy :huh:
Vast quantities of B12 and fewer :carp: carbs will prolly put you back in the not so skeery trig range :hi5:
You still wont unerstanz the problem :nono: but perchance it will just goes away :bye: :om:

SO ... :whatever: ... another minion ... a newer one ... gotted her blood test :suck: back from the mandatory pHyzical and yup low iron on account of stoopid plant based diet :woe: AND yup high triglycerides :yes: She was told to gits B12 and iron (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif) and that they would monitor her cholesterol and trigs. The only reason minionz eber tellz me anythin about their health is 'cuz others mention I noed some ffuts :yes: Anywho when tellded about the trigs I instinctively pointed out she should takes Zinc and went on my standard diatribe about how plants :suck: and yer getting more copper than zinc and why zinc from supplements is :carp:
The :book: point ...
A short whilez back ya did the zinc taste test thang and both you and B were moderately low while J was nermalz. I kinda figured you hasn't changed too muches BUT yeah same deal as back then ... Zinc :thumbs: not from stoopid plants :buttkick: and definitely not from multi-stoopid (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/happypills.gif)
Anywho it's part of that cascade failure thang ... in addition to B12, D, etc. Zinc :yes: though I woulda thunked that woulda goesed without sezing :dunno:

K so life went :oz: once again... :crazyeyes:
But first this: No there's still no "disclosure" about statin data :fist:
I never said disclosure. I said discourses. Learn to read! :buttkick: :woe: :bsl:
I miss my quiet :flowerom: life. :sigh:
So... Mom's ablation didn't work this time for whatever reason. But she recently gotted a bunch of shots of something (she didn't know & I wasn't there) & feels doog. And the doc wants another MRI after the new year.
J's blood work came back & SHE is the one who is pre-diabetic & insulin resistant. I am not at all shocked.
He BP was stoopy high (180/120) and after a week of 5mg lisonipril it's down 50 points! I'm checking her twice a day cuz at this rate we'll maybe need to cut the dose. I put the handles back on my mini tramp & have her bouncing gently. Her cholesterol numbers were just slightly elevated. But her B12 & D were lamron.
B gotted blood work too & his is perfect except for a slightly elevated PSA that we're gonna keep a :check on.
So even though we all eat the same (mostly) I am the only one messed up bigly. :asilly:
But here's the new thing that I am reluctant to tell cuz... :gaah: Siguie right again. :yesss:
And yes, I've heard you & yes, I looked into it, but...
I'd been having an issue with a crown, implant & borked tooth for awhile. The crown on the implant never felt right & eventually broke the tooth beside it which greatly eased the pressure I'd felt. But something was wrong.
It felt like a loose toof & iffin I tapped on the crown it hurt, badly, like a real toof. :huh:
So I found a new dentist cuz I no longer trust mine & went in on Monday.
Long story short...4 hours in a dental chair (much of that time spent deleting emails on my phone as I waited) & finally it was determined that the cemented crown had to come off. :duh: I knew that when I went it.
But what I didn't know was that the entire implant had to come out and I have significant bone loss. :gaah:
I was just in for a cleaning 5 months ago & that's when former guy wanted to send me for ANOTHER implant.
The dentist said there's nothing I can does about the bone loss but the internets says that red light can help & I've already begun that.
Oh & I had to pay $500 buckaroonies to have the $2500 (my part) implant & crown removed! :gaah:
BUT...here's the ykaerf part
The next morning while :b: was in the shower his dental implant (he has just 1, I have (had) 2) FELL OUT!
He says, "I guess I wanted to be like you" & I says, "You just wanted to save that $500!". :woe:
Anyways, yes we noes that means he has bone loss as well. :sigh:
If it ain't one thing... it's two or three!
:bsl:

So sister was here, sister is gone.
Been to Nashville twice & had to have MAJOR plumbing work done (15K worth) as cast iron pipes were cracked & corroded. Then drywall work as multiple walls & ceiling were cut out.
But...we accepted an offer on the House of Horrors. :cheer: Fingers crossed that it all goes through. Set to close on 12/30. :elfparty:
And... I gots tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet on Monday at 2 for my birthday! :elfparty:
Our usual pack of 5. Back to Nashville for that.
Lots more has been going on too but I don't even remember what was for supper yesterday. :woe:
Today is the first day I've gotted to catch up on things around here in a couple weeks.

"I never said disclosure. I said discourses. Learn to read! :buttkick: :woe: :bsl: "
:whatever: what "discourses" without data disclosure there's just propaganda vs questions also I prolly just heard wrong 'cuz the reader sed "stations" instead of "statins" :whistle:
"Oh & after years now of statin discourses, on all sides of the situation, I have come to the conclusion that :b: is exactly the type of person that stations do benefit. :yes: He does have inflammation...muchly with the psoriasis."
Also what does that even mean? :scratch: What properties or indicators of a person suggests those like B would do well on statins :dunno: Even the best case scenarios shows less than 1% benefit and those are the ones who have no statin side effects. More importantly the psoriasis, trigs and carbavoric diet are all counter indicators to statins :wall: Iffen the new :heart: doc isn't :carp: he shoulda atleast suggested the non-statin prescription options.
As for DurtMomma's failed ablation ... :huh: ... :scratch: Well I guess that "may " be a doog thang ... unless the doktor messed up or the equipment was borked RFA doesn't "fail" ... more likely the nerve causing the pain has changed or most likely there's a different location causing the problem now. Yer basically :buttkick: ing a nerve until it :faint: s ... so there was either a failure to :buttkick: or sumthin has cha cha cha changed :choir:
"J's blood work came back & SHE is the one who is pre-diabetic & insulin resistant. I am not at all shocked."
:woe: Pre-diabetic is a condition while insulin resistance is one of many possible mechanisms that can lead to sed condition. Why are you not at all shocked? You literally sed she was the least likely of youse to be thus on account of some weird skittle eating :book: and how a small bag would last a month or some suches :roll: Yeah I didn't unerstanz the point of that :book: neetherz :nono:
"He BP was stoopy high (180/120) and after a week of 5mg lisonipril it's down 50 points! I'm checking her twice a day cuz at this rate we'll maybe need to cut the dose. I put the handles back on my mini tramp & have her bouncing gently. Her cholesterol numbers were just slightly elevated. But her B12 & D were lamron."
K :scratch: getting lost here ... is there something linking her BP to pre-diabetes? OR are you linking BP to sedentary lifestyle and or overly weightedness.
Yeah ... srsly :huh: ... lisonipril makes sense iffen her blood werk :suck: shows kidney deterioration as a cause of her bp :bump: espeeshully iffen she has the diabetus but I thunked she was generally carbavoric with pancreatical issues so more likely hepatic steatosis as part of metabolical syndrome (https://psifly.com/siguie/smilies/36_1_15.gif)
"B gotted blood work too & his is perfect except for a slightly elevated PSA that we're gonna keep a :check on."

"The dentist said there's nothing I can does about the bone loss but the internets says that red light can help & I've already begun that."
:woe: K you got the lights so goes for it :righton: BUT you are still missing sooooo muches :wall:
Srsly light won't build :carp: :nono: You need ALL of the other thangs that you've been missing {or not getting enough of } for years :drama:
Srsly B12 alone ... most can run on Liver stores for 2 to 5 years. This means you've not had enough for atlest that amount of time. Now you are experiencing the domino cascade failures ... you cannot just put one domino back up :nono: you have a lot to reset and THEN thangs can slowly reset and git back into werkin order THEN restorative therapies may be beneficial :angel:
K how about ask Mr.Google "what nutrients are involved in osteogenesis " and that's the :bear: minimum for a starting point. There's also CoQ10 which statins :buttkick: and proteins which in vegeterrestrialz don't count for muches 'cuz you need way more Glycine :drama:
Then there's the dark truth that most are not aware of ... osteoperosis is not what most people thinxz :nono: In reality most people have a fully developed skeleton at around 18 years of age. After that there are osteoblasts and osteoclasts making bone and unmaking respectively. Together this is how bones "remodel" themselves. The problem is that osteoclasts out perform osteoblasts after about years 18-20. So eberyone beyond 20-ish is osteoperosising :horror: it's just not called that unless it happens faster than what is clinically defined as nermal :whistle:
Anywho thinxz new construction site ... first clear the debris and git the toolz needed {autophagy}, next git the building blocks to where they is needed and finally finalize the plans and start construction and or reconstruction.
Assuming you meet the minimum building requirements Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound {LIPUS} is number one :cheer: two is shockwave therapy, three is PEMF and 4th is photobiomodulation with IR scooching ahead of Red light :yes:

OK sure perchance loooong term but the burney heating bits last foreber it's the stoopid sacrificial anode that goes :bye: and then the hang eats itself from the inside out :gaah:

But :cheer: for a happy anode. :chuckle:
So I'm a total mess, huh? :sigh: Yeah, I readed about the liver stores & realized I've been running on empty for quite awhile.
LIPUS :stars: I'd not heard of it until a quick search now. Ultrasound.
So you're saying all the statin ffuts is :carp2b: ?
Like this?: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3651980/
His new doc did mention non-statin options but said he'd prefer a statin due to :b: 's high risk if he tolerated it.
B made the decision.
So Jacki's a1c was 6, her insulin level was 61 (normal 2.6-24.9) & her c-peptide was 11.3 (normal 1.1-4,5)
Pre-diabetes, insulin resistance & hypertension. I'm working on getting her moving which is very hard with her limited mobility but we're working on it. :yes:

The tires on a water heater is the anode iffen you change it ebery 3 to 4 years most heaters will last 10 to 15 years or so. Mine is ober 15yrs and the last eleben have been running on a siguie brand :electrocute: thingy :cheer:
Anywho I would likes a tankless heater but the water is soooo high in mineralz I'd needz to flush it ebery 6 months :gaah: OR perchance when my current :electrocute: gas heater :rimshot: gives up the :ghost: I'll try a siguie brand anode based :electrocute: system :hmm2:

You has too :buttkick: amemberz 2-ish years agoes when I showed you my $200 shockwave device I gotted for $25 :yesss: I pointed out I was also lookng for a 3 MHz {not just 1MHz :nonono: } ultrasound therapy wand type device for ... wait for it ...

"So you're saying all the statin ffuts is :carp2b: ?

:woe: No srsly that's more than a decade old and it's a horribly reviewed collection of :carp: studies that didn't even have access to proprietary data AND it's from a Korea low end researcher just trying to justify funding :gaah: Go find a youtube influencer 'cuz they'll be better than that paper :unthumbs:
"His new doc did mention non-statin options but said he'd prefer a statin due to :b: 's high risk if he tolerated it.

K I did some quick dives and yeah an a1c of 6 is in that pre-diabetic zone :norway: BUT the erro range is +/- 5% and the error is typically on the high side so she's really just :scratch: ing that level so not really concerning concerning by itself :hmm2:
The main thang is that the c-peptide and insulin levelz are too high for that a1c. This is soooo very much not my area BUT there's sumthin srsly wrong with those numbers ... were these test being done to generate a HOMA-IR or sumthin else 'cuz by themselves she's diabetic BUT her a1c isn't really that high which means she SUDDENLY became diabetic or they are dosing her with glucose to :check: for a response and these are just snapshot numbers that don't mean anything by themselves :dunno: OR you memoed ffuts up sumthin fierce :whistle:
K so here's the thang either the 3 of youse just coinkadinkally came up with a bunch of ailments at the same time or you ALL share a similar dysfunction { :secret: vegetables} and are showing different symptoms.
That sed ... and this is not medical advice :nono: ... you all make yer own choices ... but perchance now would be a doog time to unerstanz what nutrients you are actually absorbing and what you are not getting enough of :oz:
K I'm gonna try throwing this at you differently :throwburger: ... most ... people on a Standard American Diet suffer from problems with "Over Nutrition" those people on primarily plant diets suffer from "Nutrient Deficiencies". It's possible to be healthy on just about any diet but it's a lot harder to figure out and fix deficiencies :oz:

I had to say Merry Holydaze! :santa:
We've been busy. :yes: Did the Nutcracker in Nashville on Mondaze. Thai doof, too. :happydance: There are at least 14 Thai restaurants in Nashville. I dunno why we couldn't have at least one in Paris or Murray. There is ONE in Jackson & it's purty doog except there is one lady cooking & seemingly she doesn't have anything prepped cuz it takes at least an hour to get your doof there. :sigh:
And :b: gotted the sick. The flu, it was. :yes: I took him in yesterday & after just a couple doses of the flu ffuts (can't recall at present) he is up & perky & feelin enif. :wiggle:
Headed to Mom's in a bit. :wig: :wiggle: :gle:
As for Jacki's numbers... they are correct but I don't know much more & can't look into it now. It was NOT a fasting test & after her glucose came back at 125 the provider called the lab to see if she could get an A1C & the other numbers.
Diabetes is not in my wheelhouse. At least not yet.
What J needs most is movement. I noes this. I've noed it long time now.
We're working on it.
L, the giant elf just came back from Walmart for the final time so I gotta :run:

:b: is out at Walmarts. :rofl: We hadn't been able to find a heat bulb for our well house so he went out. He texted that he'd found 2, and boughted them both.
It's the weeklong coming super cold that's more worrying than the precip. :shiver:
A week of nighttime lows in single digits & even below zero.
Not a real big deal up north but here... :aaahhh:
Gonna likely lose a bunch of crepe myrtles & whatever else that's tropical-ish.

We're prepared as can be...toasty right now.
I worry a bit about Mom but she insisted she was staying home. A cousin who works for TDOT says he WILL get her to Zen Aunt's house if the power goes out (ZA has gas fireplace).
Elsewise... it's been an unusually busy & :frantic: January here and the energies... :stars: :splat:

Quote from: SpaceweatherA MAJOR SUNSPOT IS FACING EARTH: Sunspot AR4366 is shaping up to be the most active sunspot of Solar Cycle 25. In only two days, it has produced five X-class solar flares, and shows no signs of slowing down. The giant sunspot is turning to face Earth, and we will be squarely inside its 'strike zone' for the rest of the week. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
