Took my Jeep to a car wash. They had a sign that said they didn't do Jeep Wranglers. I feel like a second class citizen.
I'm in Denver for a few days. A good friend is having a tumor removed from his brain. His wife is grateful to have someone there to sit with her. I have heard of others with this kind of operation who came out fine, but it is still very worrisome. Prayers would be appreciated.
I'm wondering.....on the dual flush, one is for liquid waste and the other for solid waste. But from a female perspective, does the lower flush just for liquids have enough of a flush to handle the paper that a female uses even when it's just #1? .......
Dang! You are lucky!I went hiking this week near the Palisades reservoir by Yellowstone. It's beautiful country, even though the "carry bear spray!" and "warning! Grizzly country!" signs were spooky. We didn't see any bears, but after 8 miles of hiking, the trail broke loose under my left foot, and found myself traveling head-first downhill on my back. I could tell I was speeding up- the slope was very steep. My head bounced off a few rocks, but fortunately stopped after ~25 feet, upside down, just a couple feet before the river. The CAT scan said I was OK, and I have some staples in my head and road rash on my back. It was interesting how fast the whole thing happened, and how little control I had.

We were hiking in Sedona a couple of years back when we met some folks on the trail coming back the other way - said they heard a bear. We turned around too - don't like bears.
ThanksGreat job Freebird! Good bp, lost weight and being proactive. You go girl!
I started participating in a healthy coaching research study at the Healthy Aging Lab in the Department of Psychology at our local college. I met with my health coach and we came up with 3 goals for the next 3 weeks and then my ultimate goal by Halloween. I had to answer several questions, had my height and weight taken and my waist circumference measured. Then had to wear a heart monitor and do some aging tests on a computer. She gave me a watch to wear that shows steps taken, calories burned, heart rate, how long I have walked and that will measure my sleep and how long I am in the different stages of sleep. I will be meeting with her once per week for 3 weeks and they will download the information from the watch and to see how my goals are coming along. Later on, don't remember when, I will complete information on my computer regarding how things are going. This watch and knowing that they will be looking at it, was great encouragement to go for a long walk today.
Most of my major symptoms are sleep disruption, low energy, and general crabbiness.

I wrote up a list of symptoms (mostly menopausal) and non-serious but annoying stuff that has been bothering me. The doc loved the pre-written list because it gave her something to review quickly instead of spending time with time consuming Q&A.
Menopause is awful but it does eventually end .
DW was complaining about exactly this set of symptoms, and I suggested she join me in taking daily supplements of CoQ10 and magnesium. That was about 5-6 weeks ago, and just the other day she commented that the symptoms were greatly diminished.
For magnesium, around 300-400 mg per day is a good amount. You want the chelated form, so look for magnesium citrate or magnesium aspartate, or magnesium citrimate.
For CoQ10, around 100 mg per day is a good amount, unless you have been taking statins, in which case you would want to double or triple that amount.
As always, don't just take my word for it, and do your own research, but these are pretty useful supplements IMHO.
Great job on losing weight . Menopause is awful but it does eventually end .
As the spouse of a menopausal woman, I hope it ends soon!
