How reliable are Covid-19 diagnostic tests and how good are new WordPress changes

They are not reliable at all; here I’m talking about COVID-19 tests. False positives are known to happen with a certain system test. And this is where it ends because I am unable to insert a link with a text and am generally pissed off with the new style. So I am leaving the WordPress and off I’m going to the greener pastures.

Drop cap ability is about the only good thing about the…

How coronavirus is diagnosed?

This is a sequel to my previous post. How do you think it is diagnosed? Tests are first thing that comes to mind but alas, they are not reliable. Next best are the symptoms alone which is what seemingly took place at Port Clinton.

An army vet, Richard Rose, was a naysayer. He refused to buy a mask, called it a hype and more. Advised turning TV off as the media is “dividing the nation and causing…

My humble opinion about coronavirus

I will begin with the face masks that we are forced to wear. I don’t believe that masks help any in the first place. Remember when CDC told us that masks don’t provide protection?

Back then CDC even went as far as advising not to wear masks if we have no symptoms, and that masks provide a false sense of security. They were absolutely right back then. However later on CDC went into a reverse…

Lettuce-tuna salad

This afternoon I was in a mood to munch on something and thought up this. A low carb snack.

Ingredients:

one half head of a medium iceberg lettuce

one can tuna in water

just a bit of oil

one teaspoon of organic mayo

Toss all the ingredients together, place in a fridge for a while to cool down, and it’s all good. Lettuce is low carb, about 8 g for what I used, and the remaining ingredients are…

Living in COVID era rant

Aka panic mode. Everyone is supposed to wear a mask although not mandatory just everywhere. Walmart is open and banks are closed. Auto repair shops accept drop in only, and even then they are suddenly overloaded with big cases repairs. My AC and the radio that happen to suddenly quit working, have to wait until the better times that are nowhere in sight.

Banks are closed although google claims…

Invisible disability and oil change

In these days of coronavirus and stay-at-home orders coupled with social distancing, a simple car oil change can become a project. Most shops will only do a drop off, and a few offer loaners but all this seems to be a fuss over oil change of all things. I ended up going to a local Valvoline where they do it while you wait.

No one in the shop was wearing masks or gloves, with the exception of…

Cough, cough or meet my electric kettle Another day I started coughing for no apparent reason. This was going on and I just couldn't stop.

Oh so sweet

We are conditioned or programmed if you will, to think that sweet means good. Looking at some kid and saying, she is such a sweetie is considered normal and even nice. If anything is extremely good, it’s “sweet”. Let alone a sweetheart, and you’re so sweet. So sweet is good, right?

Basically yes unless you happened to have diabetes. Then you know that the opposite is true at least for you. Still…

Diabetic neuropathy and cold weather Not a great combo and you hear this from the horse's mouth. Remember when I was blogging about my neuropathy gone bad after eating some rice?

Carbs rant

Just found out the hard way that I was overdoing with carbs. I did not check my morning fasting sugar in a while because it’s a chore. But I did feel my neuropathy getting worse so figured it must be carbs. The soles of my feet felt numb and hurt at the same time. Of course this is next to impossible to explain to someone who is not blessed with diabetes.

No it was not any of the simple carbs,…

The Fall of America or the End of Trumperica — A lot from Lydia No, I’m not watching Trump’s defense team project and dissimulate. I have crossword puzzles to work on, and paper airplanes to fly, a fidget spinner that must be spun today, a book to read, and I’m sketching a picture of my sofa.

When your meter quits

My Accu-Chek Nano did just that. In the morning I pulled it out from its pouch only to discover that it’s, well, dead. The screen was dark and pressing buttons did absolutely nothing.

My first impulse was to toss it and get a new one. Perhaps I had it too long. But then I started thinking, wait a minute. This thing is powered by batteries; the questions is, how to get to them. A quick…

Life isn't always going as planned

Life isn’t always going as planned

I have taken a break from blogging lately. Not because there was nothing to write about, but because something was happening that I didn’t know how to deal with.

I have a brother in Chicagoland; he is a widower and has lived in his condo for the last decade and a half. He and his late wife worked and paid the condo off. So he owned it free and clear, or so he thought, up until the recent…

Low Carb Cooking

Pretty sure I didn’t invent much but I thought up the ingredients for having low carbs. I watch my carbs like a hawk and this soup followed the suit. Here goes .

Low Carb Barley Vegetable Soup in a Crockpot

First off, crockpot is a studio dwellers’ friend. Not having full size appliances calls for it out loud. This morning I was in a cooking mood and concocted this. Turned out not bad.

Diabetic neuropathy, again!

Lately my feet were acting up. Killing me. I thought it was neuropathy and maybe arthritis too. Either way it was bad. Hot shower helped but only briefly, and then the pain was right back. Both numbness and pain at the same time that is difficult to explain to someone who never experienced this.

I considered the possibilities. Haven’t seen my doctor in ages and haven’t taken any meds in about…

Overcoming the Writer’s Block

Last time I posted, one of my readers suggested to overcome the writer’s block. I am working on it. Meantime, here a few quotes on the subject.
