So, NHWM, how about you? Two tornados in NO today?

Report

Glad,

Sad day here 😞 in Louisiana. Lots of damage in certain outlying areas of the city and other parishes. Some injuries and a few deaths.

Shelters are open for people in need.

New Orleans is below sea level so there is flooding with heavy rainfall.

We are grateful that our family has escaped damage and are safe.

Ice is due to move in to the mid Atlantic region in about two hours. The storm has moved across the country, sadly, causing damage especially in Louisiana. So sorry, NHWM.

Thanks, Llama.

It’s a weird time of year for all of this. So sad, during the holiday season.

Glad,

Sorry the winds are still going strong.

We are experiencing ‘the calm’ after the storm.

Our tornado winds are over now. Rain has ended and the temperature is dropping a bit.

Ugh. Tore the side of my car up today when dashing (not so much) to the local sandwich shop when I merged to the right and struck a guy's driver's side mirror. Very bad day with no ice but heavy rain. Guy said he wasn't filing a claim. What was really bad was that both of us are standing outside in the rain at a very bad spot. Came home and got dry because I just got over this sinus infection. Expensive lesson learned.😥

We got off lightly weather wise, just heavy rain with a minor coating of ice to trouble the morning commute. I was relieved there were no puddles on my kitchen floor below the skylight!

The interstate has been closed again. Ground blizzards cause icing roads and poor visibility. This will never end. More snow coming next week.

Oh llama Isn't that frustrating!!!

cw - glad it's not worse and that that your sky light hasn't leaked

glad - Oh it will end. Maybe not when you want it to but it will end. Stay safe and warm. Hope you are stocked up with groceries.

Overcast here which I don't care for. But my groceries are coming soon. So thankful for delivery!

Has anyone taken the 23andMe DNA test with the health report results according to what they discover from your DNA?

The ancestry findings are very interesting. The health reports are fascinating. I wasn’t aware that I would continue to receive health reports from them.

They test for all kinds of things. They tell the likelihood of developing health issues and so on. I was surprised by the details.

One report on physical features said that I have blue eyes, which I do. Fair skin. I do have fair skin. Said I have sticky earwax, I do. No dandruff, I don’t. Said I don’t have a unibrow, I don’t, No stretch marks, I don’t, No cleft chin. I don’t, and so on. So interesting that they know these things from our genes.

Another test result spoke about specific taste buds. The report stated that I don’t like cilantro.

I had no idea that a DNA test could address the topic of taste buds. I absolutely hate cilantro. They say that people who have a specific gene causes it taste like soap. So interesting.

I do not have the variants they tested for late Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.

Testing showed that I do have the likelihood of developing heart disease. Heart disease is in my family. My dad had heart issues and two of my brothers as well.

I was interested in both ancestry and health reports so I paid more for the test than I would have paid for just the ancestry report.

They test for all kinds of things and send the results to the app. It’s fascinating to read.

Started out to do errands today and I first tell DH to check a switch on my car 'low tire pressure.' No go - flat tire. First time driving DH's F150 truck after dusk, but I did okay while he filled tire with air at home.

Need: I believe that DD did an ancestry site - not sure if it was "23 and Me." Your results were interesting. Do you have a cardiologist?

Does anyone use the KardiaMobile device? I bought it and used it 3 times and got the EKG reading of 'normal sinus rhythm.' I have to purchase the service to get additional readings.

I don’t have that device, Llama. Sorry that I can’t be of help.

Llama,

Yes, I do. My primary doctor sent to a cardiologist awhile ago.

I plan to be on guard.

NeedHelpWithMom, those DNA tests are fascinating, especially on how close they are correct. I had a DNA test done for medicines. Sure enough it says that meds for GERD [brand names were given] will not work for me. That is so right, and I was wondering why those meds were always failures. Just part of my DNA.

FF,

Right! I have been amazed by what has been determined by our DNA.

I believe in science. I love research and feel that the development of medical advances have been incredible.

We still have a long way to go in many areas but I am excited knowing that we are constantly discovering new findings.

Figured out the KardiaMobile - no additional service required to get EKG reading.

I am wondering why doctors don't tell people that low potassium can cause high blood pressure and heart issues.

Why can't they treat proactively instead of reactively. Ugh!

I think that many doctors who graduated before the internet became an acceptable source of information are stuck with the idea we are all idiots and shouldn't be given too much information because we wouldn't understand it anyway. Younger docs understand that we will be googling our diagnosis, my doc even circled what I should look for on the written report.
