    Underwear dust!! Underwear dust!! BEWARE OF THAT UNDERWEAR DUST!!!!!! One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in 'Slim Fast'. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!' His wife was not amused, and decided...

    Bob, I am just as surprised as the rest of our folks here. I am sure you are well prepared with your vast knowledge. You have been such a great help to many including myself.

    Dang computers

    Bina and others, Download a program called www.ccleaner.com. It is free and does a great job.

The ccleaner program found all these bits and I easily got rid...

    INR Test Charges and Payments

    I know Iv'e mentioned this before. The reason I never looked into home testing is quite simple. I go to my hospital lab for the old arm poke. It doesn't matter whether I go monthly or weekly, I pay nothing. Medicare pays the whole bill and it's been that way since I went on Medicare a half dozen...

    what is proper inr range for avr?

    I have a mechanical St. Jude aortic valve. My range has always been 2.5 to 3.5 and with many years experience that's the way I like it. I am well aware of the standard range for an AVR, but I'm not comfortable with it and neither is my cardio. If I get a little low I'm usuallly still above 2.0...

    I'm about to pull my hair out

    Trina, It will become pretty normal. A few drinks a week ago have an impact on your INR? NO! Has there been any changes in your lifestyle such as stopping or starting any medications, including over the counter things? Any changes in your diet? How about changes in your activity level? I hope...
