Your wife rear ended a vehicle stopped to make a left turn. Insurance companies will determine liability using prior history of similar claims and look at how a judge would decide liability. New comparative negligence law in LA bars recovery for anyone deemed 51% or more at fault. Your wife is more than 51% at fault, so you will not likely be able to recover under the liability policy of the stopped vehicle. While the other vehicle may have a small % of liability, somewhere in the 10-30% range, you still cannot recover due to the new comp neg laws in LA.

Decide what kind of cooking you intend to do most often. I have Green Pan which is ceramic over metal. I love it for low heat cooking, eggs, ground meat, it handles acidic foods well and is non stick. However you can’t use it on higher heat settings, and you must use wooden or silicone utensils with it. Also cannot use any kind of harsh abrasive cleaning sponge. I also use carbon steel pans (Made In brand) for searing, blackening, or other higher heat applications. They work great, just as good as cast iron, but treat it like cast iron (no acids, no soap cleaning, always use fats or oils to keep it non stick, heat the pan before dropping meat to cook or it will stick). Finally I use a Dutch oven for braising.

I recently was going through some personal issues and listened to nothing but Floyd for about 2 weeks. Meddle, Darkside, WYWH, Animals and The Wall. Depending on my mood at the time, I can make a strong case for The Wall, Darkside or WYWH as the best. As much as I love Meddle, it’s weak in the middle. San Tropez and Seamus just don’t quite fit. That is something that I cannot say about Darkside, WYWH or The Wall. Gun to my head I’d pick WYWH with Darkside a very close second. We hear the hits from Darkside all the time and I think it causes us to downplay how incredible that album is lyrically and musically. Us and Them being my favorite.

Natto- do you find it did anything for you? Did you have any problems before, or test for results?

Creatine
K2D3
Magnesium Glycinate
Natto
DIM

Not daily but also use a nitric oxide booster pre workout, and whey protein isolate post workout.


How long have you been taking Natto?

Rib injuries are painful. Definitely worth an X-ray to ensure nothing is out of place. Then it’s just a pain tolerance issue. Make DAMN sure you take deep breaths throughout the day. Pneumonia can creep in if you’re taking shallow breaths for days.

As an older (50) person, the loss of muscle mass on extended fasts may not be worth the benefit of the fast. I will do a 24 hr fast once a month but that is as far as I go

After receiving your ashes on Ash Wednesday, how long do you keep them on your forehead? Do you brush them off when you hop back into the car? Wear them all day?

I’ve always had questions about that too. Generally I keep them on until my first bathroom visit, then wash it off. Other times I’ve kept it for hours. To each his own. Ask yourself why would you want to keep it on? If it’s for the reminder all day that from dust you were formed and to dust you will return, then keep it on all day. If it’s because you want to spark a conversation with someone about your faith, keep it on. If it’s because you want to semi- gloat about how much of an awesome Catholic you are, then wipe it off.

What was your doctor’s thought on higher calcium score and good stress test—as far as future monitoring and treatment? I had a 200+ CAC score recently. Same place as yours. Stress test and more bloodwork scheduled. Have been really healthy the last 10 years, but doesn’t necessarily negate the first 30 years of life!

Future testing has not been discussed. The best protocol for now (pending finding a cardiologist- down to Dr. Moraes or per my GP- Dr. De Puy) is to see if I can get on a PCKS9 inhibitor to drop my APOB and maybe lower LPa somewhat. The fact that the stress test was awesome goes a long way for him. APO B was just done and it came back within range, but was the high end of the "normal" value. Going to try and drop that number in half

Who is downvoting Cleerly and why?

Not I sir, but the one drawback I see is the radiation exposure which is fairly significant. I’m doing the stress test echocardiogram tomorrow which isn’t as sensitive as Cleery but, if it is good, then I’ll have a real question of should I ask for it or not. I appreciate your input
