Good Morning All! was wondering do you all have a family restaurant called Cracker Barrell where you folks are, we have 1 in Florida City close to the keys, really enjoyed the southern country style menu/food, my favorite dinner there is homestyle mashed potatoes, string beans, and meatloaf, they serve it with corn bread or buttermilk biscuits ( i usually help myself to 1 of each lol) and wash it all down with a sarsparilla, (which is no longer on the menu) so its root beer instead.

Oh yes, we have Cracker Barrel. Don't eat there as often as we used to, the food is very heavy and not so good for a diabetic.

There is supposedly a mustang sanctuary, Windwalker Ridge Mustang Sanctuary close to Potosi, Missouri.
Do you know anything about it?

Have any good suggestions, Troyer? What travels well?

Nuts of any sort and dried fruit. Chocolate covered can cause issues because of the potential for melting.

I believe we are about the same, JP. And yes, turn clocks back Saturday night.

Way to go, Ashton! Keep up the good work. Handsome young man,

There is something called a dab pen that does not stink though. Will insurance pay for it I wonder? It ain't cheap.

You can also get it in edible form, like gummies. Or so I've heard. LOL

Im ashamed of how little I know about this condition have a close family member afflicted by it, had no idea it could go away and come back, so your saying that your personal experience with this showed that vitamin C might help it? I will also google about vitamin C and Tinnitis...thank you for your help, i apologize if the questions were intrusive...

I am a nurse, sharing medical info is ok with me. As long as it's not a patient.

good morning, sorry to hear about you not feeling well, sounds like you were mis-diagnosed at some point? so you have been on medication for that condition all of this time? is there a withdrawal period for you after you've stop taking the previous meds, before you transition on to what sounds like the next group of meds under the new diagnosis? Beautiful day out here today its 65* sunny, clear skies looks like we have 3 more days like this coming up, Great weather for outdoor activities, how is the climate out there by you folks?

COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is the umbrella diagnosis when the doctor doesn't really know what is going on with the lungs. It includes asthma and chronic bronchitis. There is no specific medication for it just treat the symptoms like the cough and use an inhaler to help keep the airway open. I also have had this diagnosis add to my list but I have had asthma all my life.
Our weather is beautiful today and for the next few days. Highs in the mid 60's lows in the mid 40's with clear blue sky. This is the best time of year!
I'm a retired nurse and like to share any knowledge I have that might help.
