I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
That "friend"!!! Sometimes the truth told very matter of factly can be effective. Followed by "How was your week?" Or just "The pits. How was yours? " If she is supportive and concerned for you, she is a friend. If she goes on about her holiday, she isn't.
Please find some times for you and do some things you enjoy, and be with some people you like. Think how your folks would manage if you were run over by a bus. I know the "I'm trapped feeling."
It told me to keep my phone that they issued to me close by! I went into the kitchen without picking up my phone and bringing with me like I usually do.
I started cooking. When I went back to the living room, I saw the message on my phone.
The thing is doing its job. It noticed that I wasn’t near my phone that I have to monitor my heart.
My fitbit doesn't sync if I'm not near my phone but it still stores the data until I am, why wouldn't the monitor do the same?
I hope JeanetteB and all our other former members are having a wonderful life!
I was told that the phone can’t be more than ten feet away from me. My kitchen is 20 x 15 and my living room is 20 x 20.
Yeah, I exceeded the ten foot limit when I left my phone in the living room.
What next for us.
I think I may actually prefer the machines over some people I met recently. Ha!
I love the one about onlychild should say "Weather? Been too busy to notice".
I mean, what kind of "friend" does this?
Another response "Do hurry home. Can't WAIT to see the other-peoples'-boring-vacation-photos".
I forgot about the alarm on my bed in the hospital.
Out of habit, I got up to use the bathroom. The alarm went off. They said that someone had to be there with me when I got up.
I am all for technology! I don’t want to go back in time and have antiquated ways.
The funniest tech story that I have heard was when my husband’s friend decided to get a Rumba and program it to vacuum while he was at work.
Well, he had a new puppy that wasn’t quite trained yet. He came home to smeared puppy poop all over his house! 😝
Look up usa.philips.com MCOT Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry
You will see the device that I am wearing.
Alva, when you were working in cardiology, what was the average age of a person with heart disease and heart attacks?
It’s sad to see people in their 30’s and 40’s having heart attacks.
I hear people all the time that have no clue that alcohol effects the heart. Everyone talks about the liver
Studies are finding cannabis effects the heart too. People just all go over board on all that stuff.
Thinking about how, like bindg drinkers , dehydrate there bodies every weekend, over and over, can't be good!
And the younger they start the harder it is on them
And actually when your really hydrated milk, sounds crazy, but the fat in milk holds the fluid into your muscles better, so you need some fat along with the liquid, or the water just goes through you , with little benefit
U.S. Trends in Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke
(December 2002) Deaths from heart disease have fallen dramatically over the past 50 years in the United States, from over 589 age-adjusted deaths per 100,000 people in 1950 to less than half that number in 2000 (258 per 100,000). Deaths from stroke declined over the same period, from 181 per 100,000 to 61 per 100,000.
As far as I am aware this trend continues.
On the other hand cannabis works against that.
NIH-funded observational study shows risk grows sharply with more frequent use. Frequent cannabis smoking may significantly increase a person's risk for heart attack and stroke, according to an observational study supported by the National Institutes of Health.
goredforwomen.org has interesting information regarding women and heart disease.
Another brush fire in Aqua Dulce, 120 acres, unconfirmed.
North and East of our home.
Our firefighters will take care of us!
Can't help but feel a bit unsettled about this surprise.
You know, the world's way of doing away with the actual time, day, and date
has got to me.
Sat., June 15, 2024 @ 7:47 p.m.
This fast moving fire is 10,504 acres, zero containment, out of control.
I found a website and app that gives updates.
It is called Watch Duty.
Thanks Beatty and Golden!
There were ashes dropping in my city.
Awake at 2:00 a.m. thinking our canvas canopy on gazebo should be removed, but there will be push back from dH as he goes off to church in the morning.
This is the part that is hard on me, he looks really weird when he rolls his eyes at me.
We are very far away from the actual fire, about 35 miles.
Can you hose your roof, especially any gutters with leaves & the gazebo cover? Protect yourself from any ash when outside - sturdy shoes, long pants & long sleeves, hat (wet it) glasses & a wet thin scarf/mask to breath through.
Staying vigilant, but the day is beautiful.
Waiting for updates.
Prayers for everyone in the path of the fire, and the firefighters.
Our firefighters are the best!
And so sorry to the ones missing there dad that passed this year and in the past.
Charish your memories
Take care.
So glad you all are here, it helps just to be heard.
The sun is out, sky is mostly clear.
I must stay inside because I am one of the sensitive ones and like to breathe.
Every so often I open the windows, turn on the fans and a/c to remove the toxic inside air for 20 minutes.
We are okay.
