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.
I suppose I can inquire through my family doctor, or I could try the hospital's main switchboard because I know there's a real live person answering the phones there.
Do you have advice nurses in your system? Because they can get you through real quick at Kaiser.
When I had my colonoscopy, they removed a very small bleeding polyp.
I had results as soon as they were ready.
I have usually very easy asthma, but it became SUPER sensitive to smoke. When the fires smoke blows in I get trapped inside and unable to exercise. So I’m sending you clean air asap and a relief to the worry about where the fire will go next.
And Firefighters ARE the best!
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.
Take care.
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!
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.
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.
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.

goredforwomen.org has interesting information regarding women and heart disease.
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.
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 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! 😝
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".
What next for us.
I think I may actually prefer the machines over some people I met recently. Ha!
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.
I hope JeanetteB and all our other former members are having a wonderful life!
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?
