Re: Letter to my father

Richard, Thank you for this powerful and evocative post. My maternal grandfather and four of his six children died in the fog of dementia. I knew them all. My mother, still alive at 96, has been on the same journey. My brother lives far away, so the privilege of caring for her has been mine in the 2...

My doctor assured me Sildenafil 20mg was very safe in my case.

Re: advanced glycation end products

Perhaps for medium rare 140F. I did a ‘Butterflied’(sic) Lamb Leg, 1” thick, 3.2 pounds on Aug 22, 2018. Three hour cook. Unfortunately, I didn’t record the results. A college professor has great information on line at douglasbaldwin.com. Chose the free web info(labeled 40 pages). Use the tables for...

Re: advanced glycation end products

Donbob what are some of your favorite recipes and tricks? Highly marbled roasts 48 hours at 135F are my favorite. I reserve the juice for sauce. Chuck roast is very inexpensive and really flavorful. For holidays or large gatherings, I have a medium-large cooler with a modified lid that has a hole f...

Re: advanced glycation end products

I bought a sous vide last month and have to say that the food is crazy good. I bought it to help me incubate some ferments (tempeh and natto) but have used it for meats too. Tender and lovely. Yum! It's simple and forgiving. The only thing I don't like is that the meat is submerged in a plastic bag...

Re: Just found out 4/4

Welcome to the best site I have found for APOE information. As a new user, I found the wiki very informative. The three bars, in the upper right of your screen bring up the menu. Click on wiki and consider starting with 10.1, “How to get the most from ...”. I. Am sure the official greeters will be a...

Re: How do I stop freaking out about this?

Considering the wonderful, wise responses you have already received, I hesitate to offer my layman’s input. Meditation and yoga have been very good for me with respect to unwanted ruminations. Best wishes.

Re: Supercentenarians and the oldest-old are concentrated into regions with no birth certificates and short lifespans
