I've never replaced couch cushions, but I don't see why you couldn't. I have ordered foam from thefoamfactory.com on multiple occasions and have been very satisfied with their products and services. For seat cushions I would probably get the Lux high quality foam.

I'm glad you're feeling better. To answer your question I would say that if you were dehydrated then there would be more cells packed into each milliliter of blood, if that makes sense. The blood can become thick and sludgy if the severity of the dehydration is great enough.

Ohh thank you both. I’ll research.
I’m not gung go on 5G. That’s all I can get with AT&T they said. And the cheaper plan I saw online they said is only applicable if you signup at Walmart etc and more people complain about their service. /shrugI've been using Mint Mobile for going on a year with no issues. I do have 5G in town and 4G pretty much everywhere else. They are owned by and operate on T Mobile's network. They are also offering 3 months free when you buy 3 months of service if you are a new customer and buy from their website. http://mintmobile.com

Not me, but my mother has been on a low dose of metoprolol for SVT for years. I asked her about side effects, etc., and she reports that she hasn't noticed any significant change in her heart rate or blood pressure. She feels that her anxiety may have improved a little on it.
For whatever it's worth, my heart rate regularly falls into the upper 50s without my noticing. If it were me I would try the beta-blocker first for awhile. Changes to your heart rate or blood pressure would become evident within a few days to a week of starting treatment. If all was well then great, if not then consider your options.

I saw the ad you are talking about. It looks like someone has glued dried beans to the top of their foot and is pretending they are growths of some sort. I've seen similar clickbaity thumbnails for different ads on lots of different websites.

You can use mosquito bits to kill the larva. You soak the bits in your watering can and then water as usual. The bacteria in the bits kill the gnat larva. It's completely safe for people and pets. Amazon sells it here or buy it from most lawn and garden centers.

Does she have original Medicare or an advantage plan? Original Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids, but many advantage plans do.

They are now planning to go back in and do an exploratory surgery tomorrow. Dad made it out to not be hugely scary, but I have access to her medical notes and the doctor said earlier today that exploratory surgery risks were "quite high" and would discuss with "CTS", whoever that is.
CTS stands for cardio thoracic surgery.
I'm keeping her in my thoughts.

Just now, regentrude said:
thanks, I saw these on amazon and was wanting to see if anyone has experiences and recommends one or the other
Well, I've never used the unflavored variety before, but I have used Sensodyne toothpaste for years to help with my sensitive teeth and I really like it. It seems to work well and it isn't as foamy as Crest, Colgate, etc.

I don't like the flavor, and since I do not know what exactly the allergen is, I am looking for a completely unflavored option
Yeah, I can't stand the bubblegum flavor either. I see on Amazon that Sensodyne has an unflavored toothpaste and Oranurse has one as well. Maybe one of these would work.

What about bubblegum flavored toothpaste? Most of the major brands have it for kids. All of my local grocery stores have at least a couple different brands of it on the shelves.

We used a Fiskars brand reel mower for a long time on our smallish city lot. It worked well on our thick tough grass, but it was a real pain to use if the ground wasn't completely flat. Every molehill or dip in the yard was a real fight. The other thing with real mowers is that you typically can't get very close to anything like light posts or fences, and they don't work well if the grass gets too tall. Ours had an adjustable height feature, but if the grass ever got tall enough that it started to fall over we had to use the string trimmer because the mower just couldn't cut it.

That link was helpful. There is a 101 type link within it that attempts to explain what a blockchain is and how mining works. I am still pretty confused and maybe the technology is just over my head. The miners are "validators" that prove transactions and get paid for it. This is what requires the computers. But I don't understand what they are doing to prove or validate.
How does one ever get cryptocurrency? If I wanted some, how would I actually get it?
The blockchain is basically a ledger that one can add a transaction to (if it has been validated), but can never be erased or changed, so it is considered secure. They are using computers to solve complex mathematical problems to prove their work. You can look up "bitcoin mining explained" on youtube to find some good videos that explain how it all works with varying levels of detail. There are also some videos in there that show you what the mining rigs look like to give you an idea of the sheer scale of some of these operations. This is all sort of bitcoin focused but the other crypto currencies all work basically the same.
There are two ways of getting crypto currency coins: mining for them or buying them on an exchange site like Coinbase, Ethereum or one of the many other crypto exchanges. The pluses of mining are that it's mostly profit once you recoup the cost of the mining rigs and electricity you're using and it's harder to lose money. The cons are that it isn't all that simple to do without time, space, and computer knowledge. Buying crypto currency is just like buying stocks. The aim is to buy low and sell high. Way easier than mining, but also way easier to lose money.
I'm no expert, but I hope this helps.

Here is a website that explains crypto mining at block geeks. As for the environmental impact, it's my understanding that the computers used are special rigs that suck power way more than any regular computer like you would have in your house. They get so hot that they have to have specially cooled rooms or they overheat. Also, crypto miners don't just have one or two of these rigs. From what I've heard they have whole rooms or buildings of them sucking power 24/7/365.

Wow-thanks for that. I have heard that many people still have pain after bunion surgery. I have them on both feet, but up until now, have no pain. Just the difficulty of finding shoes that are wide enough.
On the topic of shoes with a wide toebox I can recommend Altra shoes. They aren't always the best looking things, but they are really comfortable. I've worn them pretty much exclusively for a couple of years now, and my feet feel soooooo much better.

I read it in college as part of a class on epic poetry and the thing I found most interesting was just how much of our popular conception of heaven and hell/Satan comes from Milton and not out of the Bible.
If you do decide to read it I recommend getting the edition edited by William Kerrigan, John Rumrich, and Stephen M. Fallon. It has a lot of really good info on both Milton and the poem itself at the beginning and in footnotes throughout the work that I found really helpful in understanding the nuances of the text.

We bought steel steam table pans from our local food service store. They stack in the fridge well and nest pretty well in the cabinet when not in use. They come in lots of sizes and shapes and are pretty much unbreakable. They only down side is that the lids don't really attach to the container, they just rest on the top. We get around that by using small bind clips on the edges, it's not the best looking thing, but it works well.

Updated: Ozempic vs Victoza
in The Chat Board
Posted
I was on Victoza for around 3 years before switching to Ozempic due to changing insurance coverage. Honestly, I preferred the Victoza. I felt better on it and it worked on my hunger/weight loss better. If I could, I would go back to Victoza over the Ozempic. As far as the blood sugar side of things I felt like the daily dose of Victoza worked better at keeping my sugar levels on an even keel. The Ozempic worked, but there were more ups and downs as I got close to the next dose each week.
