I see this as the best day to bake Christmas cookies. Brownies too. It's going to happen, folks.

Keep us posted Riley.

Not really. I have no plans or anything.
Probably just going to hang out in my apt.
Is there anyone you know who might spend some time hanging with you?

Are you getting ready for Christmas, Riley?

I would love to meet everyone.

nah. He's an real asshole and has written his own mom and dad and brother off sins the early 90s. His mom and dad died having never spoken with him again. He never will give in. Total asshole.
So sorry, I have little comprehension of that kind of thinking? I have a cousin like that with her brother. Will have nothing to do with him ever since as a teen he ran away with her girl friend, married her , had children and then a succession of other wives and children. People change, they can grow and none of us are perfect or perhaps even considered decent? So far I have never done this so I do not understand it.

Thanks Molly....I will revisit it..
You are most welcome.
Just an idea but I really miss the former format we had on here.
Did GG tell you I went and met two members and a wife of one of them at Swabbies where GG, Eve and I had planned to go two years ago in Sept. 23rd.????????? My hubby and I did this and we had such a great time. I really liked all of them. I felt it was such an opportunity and it was especially nice because three weeks or so ago I just lost my friend from Michigan who had a site that I have been on for 18/19 years.
Do you recall, the former ICOM would send emails an alert if someone responded or posted ? So cool. If you haven't figured it out by now, I hate changes.

I can't say that I totally understand what they mean but I will tell you what I think I understand. It starts with inflammation in the arteries....an injury from too much insulin most of the time. The body sends chemistry and cells to put a band-aid on the injury....made of cholesterol....later calcium may be added to "stabilize" the patch...give it mechanical integrity...This does many things. If the plaque (band-aid) is too big it blocks the artery....If the plaque is covering a "hot plaque" or liquid cholesterol and the plaque cracks, loosens, what ever....and releases the liquid forms a clot and you have a heart attack, or embolism in your lungs, or brain...depending on where the clot goes.
The Calcium Scan "sees" calcium in the arteries of the heart through an MRI so the Doctor can tell "relatively" how much plaque there is in the arteries of your heart.
Some plaque doesn't have calcium, just to complicate things even more, so the MRI doesn't see it at all.
Your arteries normally can expand as much as 100% during a heart beat or pulse. So the arteries can be ....say 50% blocked and things still function just fine. But the Calcium harms the arteries ability to be flexible...i.e. hardening of the arteries.
The Calcium Score is supposed to be an indicator of your risk of heart attack or heart disease over the next 5 years. We got the test because Mary has high cholesterol or did before she started KETO. Now her LDL is still high but both of our ratios of LDL to triglycerides are the same....under 2 so we needed to know if we should treat her LDL with some kind of statin (example Crestor) . The medication comes with a lot of side effects. The current wisdom from the KETO community is if the Coronary Calcium Score is the same of less from one year to the next, the cholesterol issue should not be treated, but Mary's number is really high so we don't know exactly what to do right now.
We have adjusted her D3-K2 from 10,000IU/day to 40,000/day and are looking for every thing we can find to lower inflammation. She is also speeding up her weight loss from about 1lb /week to as fast as she can go....she only needs to loose 15 more lbs to reach her target weight. We haven't decided about exercise....there are a lot of stories of people doing cardio exercise, exercise that raises your heart rate, and causing a heart attack.
Sooooo....we will most likely repeat the test in 6 months instead of a year just to see if she is going in the right direction.....to see if what she is doing lowers the number.
She has no other symptom!! Blood pressure is ok. No heart pain. She can climb 4 flights of stairs without being winded, and she does that every day at work. She is per-diabetic but her fasting blood sugar is around 100 every day.
We will see what happens.
Just a suggestion, Wayne. Too much inflammation is what triggers heart attacks And homo cysteine is associated with inflammation. You might look into P-5-P which is the most bio available form of vitamin B 6.

Still haven't heard from my dad.
You will. Your dad is sorting things out he does not get. That may be a large part of the problem.

There was some speculation going around that PG&E wasn't cutting off power bc it started wildfire, but bc the high winds cut much of their capacity to deliver power. Wind turbines (renewable energy) make up so much of the power that when wind speeds are too high they kick out. So with the predicted winds
above 55miles/hr turbines kick out,
Our tow major wind origin energy comes from down below wherein they cut most power and also down on the desert by Palm Springs, way down? Where I live we had little to no winds and nothing even in low double digits.
Sunday my son just told me he lost power for about 3 or 4 hours.

Wayne, I'm gonna egg your house!
My ears were vibrating.

'They' have zero intention to fix the roads. 'They' have been chaining the roads off limits across the forests of this country for many, many years. 'They' don't want us having access to the forests and a lot more of it is off limits permanently and the UN has designs on much of it. We are under Agenda 2021 and hurrying rapidly into 2030.
Move humans into stack and pack developments, wherein we can live in much smaller footprints, walk to employment and entertainment. Rewild the formerly accessible wildlands and kick humans off. Only the very elite will have them to enjoy.
For those who still retain land curtail the use of it and restrict their enjoyment of their blessings and ability to remain there eventually.
I am glad I am getting old as I would loathe looking forward to life as it seems to be headed.

Hi Wayne, nice to meet you also. I'm one of the people who owns family forests and yes, due to the influence of the Sierra Club we can't harvest timber off of our land. Want me to send you the requirements for a timber harvesting plan? We cannot commercially harvest timber off our land- we have mature trees (Doug Fur) that we can't touch. They will sit there and die and be fuel for our next wildfire.
This goes beyond small landowners like us all the way to the commercial timber companies like Georgia Pacific, Harwood, LP= all who have been driven out of California.OK- now tell me how much it'll cost to bury 176,000 of miles of power lines underground. Being pragmatic here, who is going to pay for burying 176,000 miles of cable? I'll bet it's us, the rate payers. LOL, you cite the burial of 20 miles of cable as a solution- do the math. Look at that Wayne- and look at the problem we face out here... 176,000 miles of at risk cables, and they're going to bury twenty miles of it.

Well Airhead 176,000 miles is the entire system. Most of it is not a hazard. And you have to start somewhere. At least burying 20 miles will make them fix the roads around the lines. I really feel for you and your tree harvest. Extremism on any side is bad for everyone. Wood is valuable. Just today I took the trash to the dumpster and saw half a sheet of 3/4" plywood in the trash. I wanted to grab it as though it were treasure but I had to control myself, ha ha.

He called me earlier and I gave him your number. he told me you said that was ok. Yeah, I would love to come up. Not sure when I actually can though. When's Eve's birthday again?
Next year, 9/23. You were planning on coming in November for his get together. Maybe you can do that? When we were speaking my power got cut off. That was on a Saturday and then we got it turned back on the following Tuesday late afternoon but then our water was off and our sewer got reconnected the following Monday evening.
Kind of like a Chevy Chase movie. Our solar system still has not had repairs fro the heritage oak tree limb that fell on it. It is difficult to get anything repaired. The sewer was going to be nearly 10K but we got it done for $5,500. So that helped.
What did you do for Halloween?

I wouldn't trust Veronica to honor your dad's wishes at all.
I'm at a loss? Your dad and mom aren't married? What about him leaving something to your siblings? Really important discussions should never take place with alcohol. Maybe you were hoping for Veronica to come further than she is capable of doing to assure you? Lots of stuff and I am clueless. I hope your dad has a trust because you do not want anything probated here in this state.
