  1. so it ain’t so, Dr. Slappy! It’s one of the only things I have to look forward to these days. Mary Jane will be an adjustment, but I really don’t think I consume that much alcohol or sodium. I think my fibres been good for a while I do eat decent protein and I drink next to no soda and very little sweets. I do have to up my walking game and my sleep has been the shits lately. Thanks for the info. I actually dusted a home blood pressure monitor last night after the doctors appointment and took three readings that were all very close to 120/80. I do think the cuff on it is a little large for my arm and I should go down a size. I drove around to two drugstores last night but none of them had the smaller size. It makes me wonder if the reading the doctor took in the office yesterday was one on a cuff that didn’t fit me properly either . We pick up a new monitor cuff shortly to see if it makes a difference.
  2. Cool thanks I’ll give that a try. Not trying to cheat, had no idea it was medication needed high. I don’t put salt on anything but I do eat a 1/4 cup of almonds weekdays for lunch. Will have to look close at my intake….
  3. So I went for a check up today and the doc wants me to take and log blood pressure readings for the next two weeks and let her know. If my numbers are too bad she said she’d likely put me on some meds. HOW DO I DROP MY BP IN TWO WEEKS?!!
  4. Oh we have a big air fryer convection oven too, Heritage brand I won it. We have used it only a few times as our kitchen is small with limited counter space. Beets, sweet potatoes, beef roast. All turned out great but we’re very plain Jane.
  5. Can we have an AI bot that uses its powers for good? One that showers us with delicious healthy air fryer recipes?
  6. Hmmm, thanks. I'll aim to narrow down on where this is happening ... and I'll look into eating some cookies. thx!
  7. Hi I need my .org fix all the time. On closer look it appears to be normal when I click to the .org on my MBA every time. I have to re-log in when I click the .org on my iPad (the one I bought from you) and my iPhone (14+). It would seem it is just me and my cookies. I’ve never been much of a baker. Maybe it’s Apple trying to save me from myself. I’ll see if I pour some milk and try to poke around my cookies. Thanks for all you do SwAImpnut!
  8. Is this still happening for others? It seemed to get better for a bit but it’s been back for me for awhile again. It might be happening if/when I switch devices but I’m not sure about that.
  9. Nice MBP, glws! What 4gig windows things are you talking about?
  10. Good call, I'll pop things' cherry with some beans. Seems slick that you can do the onions and sautéing in the same pot.
  11. Hi, So we broke our 6 quart slow cooker near Christmas and bought a similarly sized Instant Pot as a replacement. We have yet to fire it up. What are some of your favourite things to cook in your Instant Pot? I'm wanting to give it a whirl and have a few ideas but hoping we can talk about healthy Instant Pot recipes in this thread.
  12. Thanks. Where does one go to find this dark style sheet to apply it to their account?
  13. I forgot all about this and it looks like I may have missed a near successful russian ransomware attack. I brought this up as the .org is the the only forum I peruse that has the white background only. Makes for bright middle of the night surfing. How about this dark mode one to try ... https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9700-bravo-6-dark-theme-for-47/ ? Thanks
  14. Hi, Do any of these exist for a forum user to fiddle with? I can't seem to find in settings, but I'm not always the best to find such things. Thanks
  15. We had a storm about a month ago (hurricane Fiona) and in anticipation I stocked up on canned foods including a flat of Highbury Black Beans from Costco. I cracked the flat on Friday night and mixed a can in with some leftover taco meat and salsa ad ate with nachos and a spoon. So good. Yesterday I mixed a can in with a can of corn and some salsa and leftover basmatti rice. Delicious. Farts have been a tad more than normal but nothing outrageous. I just drained those cans, no rinse or anything else. I have been eating steel cut oats daily for over a month now so perhaps my farts are adjusted by the oats and thus the bean farts have had less impact.
  16. Resmed Airsense 10 over here. Nasal pillows and heated tube with humidifier. I love it. I’ve never tried a mask and I was definitely a mouth breather going into this but I’ve had no issue. My nostrils seem perpetually clogged, be it from plant bloom season, dusty rooms, sunny days, cats, etc. In other words pretty much all the time. The only time they are not sort of clogged and are very clear is when I’m using CPAP, cold winter days too. When I have a cold and my nose is completely blocked I look forward to bedtime when I can have that warm moist CPAP air pumping up my schnoz. It might take a minute or two but it clears out my nose and sinuses like a dream. In typical male denial, I did not think I had a problem with sleeping and snoring but I went to a local clinic to appease my wife. CPAP has been life-changing for me for sure. For her too, she immediately started getting better quality sleep. In a couple of years I’ve had it I’ve only missed a single night and that was because I was passed out drunk on a buddies couch. One thing I might throw out there as well is that I think CPAP machines are hard to come by these days. They were two major suppliers, Resmed and Phillips, and Phillips had a large recall. In combination with supply chain issues we see these days I’ve heard that new machines are like hens teeth. The machine they got you to test in house may have been of questionable quality perhaps.
  17. Oh and the time warp from my iPad 4 to this 2nd gen Pro is impressive! It's buttery smooth, tiny bezels and much quicker, but where's the home button? <jk>
  18. iPad arrived today. Excellent condition, nice case/og box & accessories/packed nicely, thanks Carlos! I held my iPhone near it like it asked as my old iPad is too old to transfer, and my deets went to the new iPad seemingly fine. Then it did an os update and now I think it's restoring from an icloud backup of mt iPhone. Seems like any inter-country drama is non-existant thankfully. Woo! Thanks
  19. I pulled some back muscles early on during the pandemic putting on my fucking socks on a Monday morning. I realized that I had been a self quarantining couch potato the whole weekend and that likely contributed/caused my pulled back. After recovering from that I made a point to walk around the block at work on my lunch breaks. Did that for a year then my role changed a bit and I lost some flexibility to get my walks in. I found they gave me a reset mentally for the afternoon, very refreshing. I had been using some cheapo Panasonic wired in ear monitors then upped my game with some BT Jabra Elite 75s but have opted lately for some older open Sennheiser PX 100i headphones. I like being able to hear whats going on around (behind) me to some extent and the iems were seeming to isolating. Never know when I'm going to have to go all kung fu in the hood with my birkenstocks on.
  20. I just called Apple Support and talked to Britney who sounded like someone from Alabama. She looked at a few things on her end and doesn't think there will be any issues. If it was a cellular model there might be issues but where it's wifi only and if wiped/factory reset before it gets to me all should be good. Thanks for call out all the same.
  21. Thanks JoWhee, that never would have crossed my mind. Was the one you bought wifi or cellular? I think Carlos already has this one on the way to me ... I see what I can find out.
