It really is different. I was surprised by how much I’d like it.

It sounds like one of those newfangled coffee things, but it’s much more smooth and much less bitter.

Bitter is also a product of how fine is the grind. For French Press, a coarse grind is the best. And less bitter!

Is it just me, or if you’re driving a gigantic farm tractor going 20 miles an hour, would you pull over occasionally to let the 30 or so cars behind you by?

I guess it’s just me and the 30 or so other people behind the tractor!

If you go slow then they can pass on country roads. If you are moving then it can be harder to pass.

My tank fantasies were to drive over a car or thru a building.

Came this close in Iraq to driving over a car. Dammit!

Was this you?

I hope your cardiologist went over these numbers with you. Here's my 2 cents:

LM = 0. This is EXCELLENT! The left main is called the "widow maker" as it supplies 85% of the heart.

LAD = 298. This is considered moderately calcified and can be concerning. The LAD comes off the LM, runs down the front of the heart, and supplies about 50% of the heart.

Cx = 163. This is considered moderately calcified and can be concerning. The Cx comes off the LM, wraps around the left side, and supplies 25-40% of the heart. It can also supply the sinus node, also called the pacemaker of the heart, in about 30% of the population.

RCA = 59. this is considered mildly calcified. The RCA supplies most of the right side of the heart and the sinus node in up to 70% of the population.

PDA = 0. This is EXCELLENT! The PDA supplies most of the back side of the heart, along with the Cx.

I would say you have a moderate risk of a cardiac event within the next 3-5 years if there are no changes made in your lifestyle. The LAD and Cx combined can supply up to 85% of the heart's blood.

ACV has not been shown in clinical trials to reduce or eliminate calcification. Your best holistic bet is to eat clean, try to stay away from trans fats and highly processed foods. Drink 8-10 glasses of water in addition to other beverages, like coffee. Reduce your stress levels.

Exercise, outdoors, as much as possible. The sun helps our bodies make vitamin D, which can be heart helpful. DO NOT take vitamin D supplements without consulting with your providers. It is a fat soluable vitamin; you could be at risk of overdose if not managed.

Continue to f/u with your cardiologist. S/he may recommend a heart cath. Stents placed in the LAD and Cx can keep those vessels open. A heart cath has a much quicker recovery time, about one day, compared to open heart surgery (weeks).

This is the long-ish answer! I can go into more detail if you need it!

You are so smart

Either tjmaxx or Marshall's or good old amazon

 

[Oldermom935]

Mrs wonderer made had me put a few pallets up at one of our customers storefronts.

I thought it was a hare brained idea, and did not love it, but she gets raves all the time when she plants droopy plants in them.

Have you seen where people suspend gutters with capped ends on a fence and plant strawberries in them

I also saw someone use an umbrella type clothesline to plant squash and cucumber

I do not like bitter coffee. I suppose most don't. Thanks for that. I now have a reason to grind my own.

Ugh! She's your 80/20. Or maybe 95/5!

My advice? Stop walking on eggshells around her. Treat her exactly as you treat everyone else. Even her "close personal friend," the shop steward can't fault you for that. Just ignore the passive-aggressive nonverbal pissed-off-ness and counsel her on any verbal or physical manifestations of pissed-off-ness. ALWAYS have a witness, preferably the aforementioned "close personal friend," the shop steward, if/when you need to counsel her. Keep meticulous notes.

It's a PITA, I know. And, I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know. This kind of narcissistic bullying needs to stop. I'm so sorry!

Don’t worry, I keep detailed notes. She been with the agency for over 35 years and knows exactly how the game is played.

Thanks for listening. I just had to get my frustrations off my chest.

Frankly, if I could afford it, I’d retire now and walk away. I’m eligible, but if I punch out before I’m 62 I lose 5% if my retirement per year that I’m under 62. In other words that’s about $500 a month - over the course of the rest of my life. Sorry, nobody’s driving me away for $500 a month.
