Yep, I started making filtered coffee again after 15 years of espresso and french pressed coffee, and my cholesterol dropped over 30 points.

For future reference, Iverstine's in Baton Rouge had it when we looked for it last spring. I would call before making the trip to be sure.

We thought we were having trouble with Cox for a while, then changed out our 20 year old cable coming into the house. Turned out it wasn't a Cox problem, it was our ancient cable. No problems since. We'll give Spectrum a try.

If she has to go to the hospital for any reason from now on, try to get her to the Lake, and ask for the social worker right away. They were great about finding the correct (legitimate) diagnosis for my mother to get into rehab. The social worker handled the calls to the facilities we chose.
Medicare paid for rehab for several weeks. We used the one at St James the first time and Ollie Steele Burden the second time. Both are very expensive if you have to pay out of pocket.

My grandparents were born in 1903, 1904 & 1912. They grew up with iceboxes and were calling the fridge that when I was small. I asked my dad why they called it that, and he explained about how iceboxes were used before electricity. It was probably the first time I realized how different things were in my grandparents' lifetimes.

I like it; keep doing it. You have to learn to ignore the trolls. I have a son and a brother with high functioning autism, too, so I understand your fascination with the data. I suspect more people like your tracker than dislike it, and those that object should ignore it and move on.

Did you start taking any new medications in the last couple of years? When my husband started taking a statin, his memory and cognitive function started to slip. When he stopped, both returned to normal. That happened with all three of the statins he tried.

No
You should have been around in the sixties. My dad used to take me and my brothers after church on Sundays to give my mother a rest. We sat in the grandstand, and there were maybe fifty to a hundred people there scattered about. I suspect some of them were there to see the other team.
We were able to run around and play while Dad scored the game while shaking his head and frowning (he played in college and semi pro baseball for a while).

We've been using that Prudhomme recipe, slightly modified (less butter, flour, and peppers), for decades. It never fails to be delicious. You can use chicken or vegetable stock instead of the seafood stock.

I’ve had cats for over 50 years; I love them. I’m 68 now and have two cats that may outlive me. Thankfully, my son has agreed to take them when I pass, and they like him. If one of my cats was 17, missed me, and was behaving badly because of that, I would be okay with my son having it put down by a vet. I would not expect him to spend a lot of his hard earned money on the medical or behavioral issues of an older cat, either. I love my son, too, and I wouldn’t want him to be made miserable by an ancient cat that has lived a full life for that long.

My family had season tickets from the time the PMAC opened until my dad could no longer navigate the stairs. My husband and I went occasionally until Wade was fired; haven't been back since. We will definitely start going again.
