    I hope you enjoy the ceylon as much as I do, Fran! Sleeping late is not in Bella's 'to do' list, much to my frustration! I am NOT the 6am person she wants me to be!! o_O

    Is this the first time you've used the ceylon before, Mark? I was very surprised at the differences between the two types of cinnamons. I haven't ground any of mine, but I love the natural sweetness it has. Fran, busy is good!! But so is sleep ;)

    I have white coat syndrome big time, it comes with my Anxiety Disorder package deal :nah: Fortunately my old Dr in Ct, and my new Dr here both understood, and would take several readings during my visits. I keep track of it at home, too, but I do have high BP. On max dose of Micardis + max dose...

    It's hard to walk away from something that's been a part of your life for so long, especially when it was such a help to you :( Bella is having a hissy to go for our walk...all I want to do is chill on this cloudy, chilly, damp day. Guess who will win this tug of war :blush:

    When steeped for about 20 minutes for tea, the Ceylon also has a natural sweetness to it, not quite as strong a flavor as regular store bought sticks, but also doesn't have the bitterness. It's very good hot or chilled :)

    She really is sweet, but looks can be deceiving! She's going thru the terrible two's :lol: Thanks for all the info on tumeric. I use cinnamon, but buy the real Ceylon cinnamon sticks from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EM7VQKO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 The...

    I'm interested in the correct turmeric as well. All in all, I have very little to complain about, but yesterday was just a rant day :blush: This sweet little face chewed up my electric blanket cord while I was in the shower last night! So glad it didn't fry her!! Did I mention our low was 26...

    Today would have been my mama's 84th birthday...she passed in 2002 from breast cancer. Salem, you never get over it...you learn to live around it :wub: This wet, cold weather has me hurting, but Bella and I still managed to clock 28 miles of walking on my Fitbit last week. My newest spot for...

    Thunderstorms but no severe weather for us last night, thank goodness. I feel sad for all those people in Alabama and Georgia who got hit by tornadoes. Mark, I'm in Heaven with a cup of your coffee in hand! Hands down, the Papua New Guinea variety is one of the best coffees I've ever had...

    I'm fine, just rain and thunder for us. I'm sad for all those in Alabama and Georgia who got hit by the tornadoes :( I'm not sure how it works in Ct, but no taxes have been paid on the property since 2017. Some states just put a lien against the property but can't force you out. I'm just glad...

    Not usually part of it, Dee, but I am pretty surprised they didn't ultrasound them. And that may yet be ordered for you since you do have some (albeit small) amount of blockages, and the high LDL. I used to have to take Katie to get her carotid ultrasound every few years. We are under our...

    Dee, did any of the Drs. give you a reason for your initial symptoms? I'm curious if they looked at your carotid arteries in your neck to check for blockage percentages. Overall, I'm very happy that you found out about having COD BEFORE anything worse happened. Yep, this getting old sheet is...
