    Cody's Health Problems

    PET scans deal with positrons so it shouldn't be as dangerous as other radiation. It is basically measuring the rate of glucose consumption,. Fast-growing and replicating tumor cells consume glucose at a faster rate than normal, so thy show up with a different glow. The true radiation may...

    Cody's Health Problems

    Boy @Cody Fousnaugh it seems like you are having one health issue after another. Did you have the prostate biopsy? I think your doctor should have consulted with radiology if she didn't know what ultrasound to order. Gallbladder ultrasounds here are done routinely from the ER with no prep...

    Chickens!

    The cullings appear to be slowing as the Trump Administration seems to be more discriminating in how it is done. Eggs are also now being imported from Turkey to ease shortages and lower prices. We have our 10 hens, our only animals currently. They made it through the winter and hopefully as...

    Watch the ticks @Marie Mallory as they may carry all kinds of diseases from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever to Lyme Disease and others. Do you get ticks on your legs or upper body. Legs can be protected with socks over long pants with perhaps sulfur or insect repellent. Ticks on the upper body...

    Life insurance

    You certainly don't need much life insurance since everyone is on their own. I just took it 'cause it was free.:)

    Life insurance

    I think I still have some from one of my previous employers. It was offered as a retirement benefit that decreased with time until you reach 70 (I think) and then it is left at a fixed amount. It costs me nothing and is enough to cover a simple funeral, which is all I worry about. When added...

    Windows 11

    Microsoft is following Apple's lead in not offering their best stuff so they can squeeze more money out of folks. MS doesn't make as much, however, since most of the platforms using Windows are not made by Microsoft. None of my current computers support Windows 11, so I won't be changing...

    Gas vs Electric vehicles

    We are now on our generator due to a substation problem that hasn't been identified. I don't think our generator would charge an EV well, so we could be grounded. I have mucho petrol stored however, so I can run our gas vehicles for some time. If the outage is widespread, you wouldn't even be...

    Gas vs Electric vehicles

    I think EVs are okay if they are not the only vehicle you own, especially here in the boonies. One daughter owns a Tesla and it kinda gives me the creeps as it monitors everything you do. The security features are okay though. One big issue is that they essentially "expire" in about a decade...

    Should the United States stay in NATO ?

    If you read the citation, it says them members have to AID the nation attacked in whatever manner they choose up to and including armed support. It doesn't obligate the U.S. to go to war with anyone but to assist in whatever way they deem appropriate. NATO also has to go though an Article 4...
