Granny's gone and done it again

[lovesfarms]

We are getting a different internet provider! YAY! Been with HughesNet for over 10 years now. It's.....okay. Barely. Likes to cut out when it rains or snows and the bandwidth sux and for all that we pay about 100 dollars a month. So we get a letter left at our gate that Chariton Valley Internet service is laying fiberoptic cable in rural areas and will be working on our road soon. Would we like to sign up? 100 gigs, no degrading of signal with options to upgrade, no contract only 50 dollars per month. No installation charges. We talked to a couple of people who have it already and they love it so we went with it. They laid the cable down our road today and the engineer stopped by today to ask us where we wanted everything hooked up. They are setting the outside box on the house on Thursday and then a tech will be by to hook up the modem.

It will be nice to actually have REAL upload and download speeds plus not have to scrape ice off the dish every winter.

Today I went to the doctor. Got my right shoulder worked on. He checked it over good. No rotor cuff tear but I do have tendonitis from the injury along with an injured rotor muscle under my arm and into my back. Did some deep heat treatment, pressure point relief and has me using Voltaren gel 4 times a day on it. Plus more antibiotics for my diverticulitis. The big news was that I aced my labs. Best I've had in over ten years. All I have to do is up my omega oil intake because my HDL was like a point off. No big deal. A freaking point. He started talking meds and I said NO STATINS! NO SHOTS! I will do it with my diet like I have done everything else. He suggested upping the omega intake and I said I'd do that.

You guys don't know how hard I've worked with my diet to get my labs to this point. Had to sacrifice a lot of food that I really love but is it worth it, heck yeah! I was doing a happy dance out to the car. Just really proud of myself.

Yayyy! Good news is always welcome! I wanted to change to FiOS Internet but it doesn't have such good feed back in our area. It's still new

If you can

It has saved 2 of my dogs that had parvo

See a difference in the dog's then it sure would be worth us taking it as well. Another thing that gels up like chickens feet is pigs feet. I can get them at Wegmans but not local here

That's neat. Is it an app on your phone?

My husband uses a CPAP. It has a sleep monitor app that he downloaded on our phone that tells him in detail how he did sleeping with the CPAP on. Very interesting to read. Tells how many apnea events he has, if his mask is operating properly, etc. If he sleeps less than 7 hours he gets docked points.

It's the ultimate big brother watching, lol.

I will check into bone broth for the puppies. It would be worth it rather then seeing a dog in pain

Can you use it without a CPAP machine?

Im glad you got all good news today Chick.
I also have a change to my dish coming Thursday. 2 year contract. I don't like that. In order to get on demand it has to hook up to the net and Robert said no, there not using his net. It will cost $7. more a month. I didn't have a choice.

Can you use it without a CPAP machine?

Nope. The CPAP is sending the signal to the phone. Like blue tooth almost. I used the big clunky CPAP machines when I was a clinical nurse. These are streamlined and electronic based.

All I ever see is pickled.

All I ever see is pickled.

I got these at Amazon. 40 Air dried chicken feet for $20. I'm going to check the Farmers market. Dog's should not have the bones cooked. Air dried is better then dehydrated because those lose more nutrients. I saw bone broth with glucosamine for dogs $7. I'll read the feed back

That's neat. Is it an app on your phone?

Yes but it connects to a ring I wear.

It has been a big help in teaching me what interferes with my slerp
