Screaming fit!
Comments (7)Racoons are pretty good climbers. We had something raiding the snack bar on the seventh floor of the federal office building I work in in downtown Washington, D.C. They eventually found out the culprit was a racoon. It was climbing through a window people left open. Richard...See MoreHigh Blood Pressure? -- Atlas Adjustment
Comments (47)I just saw these posts! I am so scatterbrained, it's often embarrassing. jerzee, there's GOOD news, actually, and it's held for two days now so I guess I can post it: I've gotten 119/79ish (yesterday was something like 119/83, so same area) in the am!! PM it goes to 145/93, but there's definitely a change in the mornings. I called my doc yesterday to deliver the news and of course she never got back to me. I think I could die of something she should have noticed and she'd shrug and laugh. NOT a good feeling about a doctor. Off to a better practice, even if it costs more. The atenolol is slowing down my heartbeat too, but not as slow as yours! Mine is now in the 70s, whereas it used to be in the 80s/90s. I'm getting the *slightest* feeling of what life must be like for my DH, who has a heartbeat in the 50s, usually. VERY different, in a good way, yes? :) sjerin, I'm glad your mom's heart surgery went well--I was thinking about her the other day when I read an article about how older folks are having surgery more often now. I hope she recovers fast and uneventfully and goes back to marathoning :) (we live in hope :)) May I ask how much atenolol your family members took? I'm on 50 now, at bedtime, but am wondering if 100 at bedtime might be better to keep the bp down all day. I sure do get good sleep at night, though. I might be tired like your family during the day if I up the dose. I read something interesting--that walking on cobblestones was found to be better for lowering blood pressure than prescription medications! It's been confirmed and published, even...and you can buy cobblestone mats to walk on!...See Morei scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Comments (23)No problem, Daylilydayzed. Here it is: Limoncello-Mint Sorbet with Fresh Blackberries Limoncello, the citrusy Italian liqueur, brightens this sorbet. It's nice to have a bottle on hand to splash with soda in a spritzer or macerate with fruit for a quick dessert. 2 cups water 1 1/3 cups sugar 1/2 cup limoncello 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 large lemons) 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint 2 cups blackberries Lemon slices (optional) 1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; add lemon juice and mint. Cover and chill. 2. Strain juice mixture through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Pour mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon sorbet into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze 1 hour or until firm. Serve with blackberries; garnish with lemon slices, if desired. Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup sorbet and 1/4 cup berries) CALORIES 184 ; FAT 0.2g (sat 0.0g,mono 0.0g,poly 0.1g); CHOLESTEROL 0.0mg; CALCIUM 13mg; CARBOHYDRATE 39.3g; SODIUM 1mg; PROTEIN 0.6g; FIBER 2g; IRON 0.2mg Cooking Light, MAY 2009 Lori...See MoreHands Over Ears While I Scream
Comments (28)Hey, folks. I'm not screaming any more. Now it's just a whimper. The surgery went long, but was successful. DH is coming home tomorrow. There will be lifestyle changes to make, but he's ready to tackle them. The floors have been refinished, and the odors from the polyurethane have almost dissipated. I came home from the hospital last night to find the granite fabricators had done the buffing we'd requested. OK, I had to live with no staircase between the upstairs and downstairs through the weekend, but almost all the stair treads are in and there is a carpenter taking care of the remainder right now. It would be nice to have the new pieces for our living room delivered in time for the homecoming, and our decorator says she is 'working on it.' AND the electricians and cabinet guys have still not come around. But with surgery behind us, the above items pale in significance. Give a momentary whimper and then I go to cheerleader mode, rooting for my guy to get back to his super self!...See Morefhfchrish
