Perhaps the recommendation comes from the fact that OB/GYN’s are the highest sued doctors in the US. Protecting their interests. The fact is, no one truly knows long term affects of either covid or the vaccine. Time will tell. These are personal decisions. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to make the decision. For those of…

I never intimated denying access to health care. There’s no long term studies regarding the vaccine for anyone. It’s only been available for a little over two months, and less than a year in development. I wouldn’t take it if we’re me. It would seem to me if you trust the development, you would trust the advice that…

I’m 100% advocate that women’s reproductive rights are theirs alone. However, clearly, women currently of reproductive age, were not around in the 50’s and 60’s (when my mother was pregnant with my sisters and I) when pregnant women were given thalidomide for morning sickness, some resulting in birth defects for their…

My daughter is having issues with anxiety and depression too. It’s kind of covid related. She’s been working from home for 4 years now, but she misses the social aspect of her life. Financially, she’s doing well, as she’s very frugal, but, she’s lonely. As an only child, she worries (she’s always been a worrier) about her…

Nut butters. Nutritious, but calorie dense.

No

A trifle. Angel food cake, custard/pudding, fresh fruit.

I love it raw too. Put it in salads a lot. Sometimes I snack on a wedge. A lot of chewing satisfaction with low calorie. I make cabbage soup too, that it’s low calorie is just a bonus. It’s filling and tasty.

I’m pretty sure many people see it as a role model country. A year later, the USA, leadership consequences are apparent. Nearly 500,000 lost. Australian leadership 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don’t pay attention to it. Everyone doesn’t fit into a rigid number. It’s a general number. As long as you’re getting proper nutrition, and it’s working for you, who cares?

And if the vaccines need to be administered yearly, when many still haven’t received the first round of vaccinations, how will that affect the spread? There simply isn’t enough vaccine available, and won’t be for the immediate future. There is concern about the more virulent strain starting to spread more quickly, and a…

My husband is a cancer survivor (7 years) with a slow growing cancer that has been detected at the site where the original cancer was surgically removed. It’s untreatable because of the size, and he’s being monitored every three months. His three month checkup was last Monday. He’s 68, an essential worker that has been…

Our local grocery store has meals like this. Usually $4.00 to &6.00, depending on what you get, in the deli department. I purchase one every week for my husbands dinner as a change from his normal supper. He works 2 to 10 pm. They even have prime rib, but it’s expensive. There’s a gas station here (Kwik Trip) that has…

The common factor in any weight loss success, is calorie deficit. That’s it. How you accomplish this is your choice. Take advice from those you think would work best for you. No one knows you better than yourself. Exercise is not necessary for weight loss, but is great for overall health.

I kind of agree with this. Particularly the people that have been working on site, not virtually, the whole time. Grocery stores, Target, Wal-Mart, pharmacies, etc, and of course front line health care workers. My husband is an essential worker who’s been working the whole time. Late 60’s, cancer survivor that currently…

Just got toilet paper this morning at the grocery store.(it’s snowing here today, again, below zero temperatures on the way, some white out conditions out here in the country) They were well stocked with paper products (Minnesota). Actually, the store seemed well stocked with everything. They had a lot of displays set up…

I hear you. I’m 69, they’re certainly not making it easy to get either of the vaccines. It really is a lottery with limited doses available 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree with you, as long as side effects are minimal. 67% is way better than 0%, but, moot point unless approved.

I too never heard of a soup maker. I Googled them, pretty spendy. I use a stock pot or slow cooker. I make a pot of soup or chili every week. I freeze leftovers for quick meals the rest of the week. There’s two of us. The cabbage soup recipe for weight loss can be a base for soup. Adding a protein of choice, veggies of…

They have it at most grocery stores. I know Target has the mixes too.

I actually prefer the flavor of frozen blueberries. I think they taste better than fresh. Watch labels. You may want unsweetened. Depending on brand, they may have added sugar. I thaw them before eating them or adding them to something. Just personal preference. They thaw pretty quickly. They will bleed into added foods a…

Any day that gets above 32 F here (Minnesota) this time of year we’ll gladly take. It was double digits below zero in northern part of the state this morning.

I like boneless loin ones I get at our local meat market. They tenderize them after they are cut and fat is trimmed. They basically look like a cube steak, but pork. Maybe 1/3 inch thick. Lightly season and 3 minutes on my George Foreman grill.

Early on, when masks were not available (or would take weeks to receive), I made masks out of bandannas. My husbands employer gave them to employees for face coverings. I sewed them for us and some of his coworkers, with either elastic ear loops or ties. I hand wash ours, in very hot water with anti bacterial soap, each…

All recipes.

Vitamin D deficiency in Americans is around 40%, so a lot of people are affected. My doctor recommended a supplement. I’m fair skinned, and sun burn easily, so I’ve been using sunscreen for years. Skin cancer is no joke. I’ve also had a couple of bad sunburns in my foolish youth. That vitamin D may have some benefits…

We have pizza every Friday. I make it from scratch and freeze the dough. We are thin crust fans, so that helps. Also, I stick to veggies for toppings, no meat. I go light on the sauce, and cheese. Two good sized pieces are 300 calories. Very doable for me.

How are they keeping track of this? Don’t you have to show ID’s at least?

I think it’s a good idea to see her doctor first. ❤️ My husband is 68. A cancer survivor. He’s still working. Minnesota opened up vaccines for 65+ this week. He has his 3 month check up in early February. He’s going to ask his doc about it then. As it is throughout the country, there’s not enough vaccine, so chances are he…
