Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:07:29 GMT
CBD isn’t just “hip” with millennials. Interestingly, many senior citizens are now using CBD topicals on their hips!Recent surveys suggest at least 20 percent of Americans over 65 have used a CBD product in the past few years. That number continues to climb as more data comes out about CBD’s anti-inflammatory and anti-stress properties. There’s also a lot of positive “word of mouth” swirling around regarding CBD’s effectiveness for many age-related conditions like arthritis.Although the CBD business is booming in the senior care sector, does that mean this supplement is safe for grandpa and grandma? Are there any potential issues senior citizens should consider before trying a CBD product?Is CBD Oil Safe For Senior Patients?As long as CBD products meet high-quality standards for purity, they should be safe for most healthy senior citizens. However, there are concerns that CBD oil could adversely interact with many prescription medications. Since almost 90 percent of Americans over 6...Cheap Tricks for Bellrays

Cheap TrickCheap Trick (Epic)Cheap Tricks for Bellrays: Bob Vennum of rock & soulers the Bellrays told us about his love for Cheap Trick’s classic debut.Bob Vennum: I remember hearing Cheap Trick for the first time at a friend’s house. She played Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and then In Color. Despite immediately wanting to go home and grab my guitar and figure out the cool chord progression to “I Want You to Want Me”, I remember thinking how wimpy it sounded next to “American Girl” or “Breakdown”. My immediate reaction was that it sounded like one of the local bands around that had put out their own record. (Epic)The next year they put out Live at Budakon and then I got it. I don’t think I put my guitar down for a month! It hit me so hard that this article could’ve easily been all about that record. By the mid ’90s I had been doing original music in local bands for almost 10 years. The rejection letters (and phone bills) from label submissions were piling up and ...San Jose: Late-night stabbing leaves man with life-threatening injuries

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:07:29 GMT
Eggplant on the grill is a summer favorite. A brush of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and the fire of the grill are all that’s needed to transform firm, spongy eggplant wedges and planks into crispy-squidgy versions of themselves. But why stop there?Take it up a notch with a recipe inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi, the Israel-born British chef and cookbook author. In his recipe, he roasts wedges of eggplant doused in a chermoula-infused oil heady with North African spice, and then tops it with an herby bulgur salad and creamy yogurt for a beautiful and substantial vegetarian dish.The recipe below is a lighter, simplified adaptation. It focuses exclusively on the eggplant and garnishes it with an herbaceous gremolata studded with bits of preserved lemon. It’s bright and fresh, a lovely side dish that can be served warm or at room temperature.Ideally, choose long, narrow eggplants and cut them into narrow wedges. Alternatively, cut thick slices lengthwise from globe eggplants. ...Wish You Were Here: A trek through Portugal

DEAR TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER: We are taking a cruise next month from Miami. I booked an 11:30 a.m. return flight from Miami to Chicago on American Airlines.A few months before our cruise, American Airlines canceled our 11:30 a.m. flight and moved us to a 9 a.m. flight. We will still be on the ship at 9 a.m.Christopher Elliott, the Travel Troubleshooter I called the airline and asked for a flight later in the afternoon. An agent advised me that all flights were full and they could not move my party to any other flights, even out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.I waited a few weeks and called again, hoping availability would open up, but it did not. An agent told me to cancel my tickets and that I would get a refund. So I did.I have had an email conversation spanning weeks with American Airlines. They only process refunds via email and give no phone option. They keep denying my refund. So, I asked for an extension on my ticket credit. American Airlines denied that, too.

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:07:29 GMT
DEAR JOAN: A year ago my husband and I befriended a cat during our late evening walks. He looked well fed, and we thought he was from the neighborhood, but still felt we would like to know to whom he belongs. We left notes at several homes, posted on Nextdoor and finally found the owners.He had been missing for two years. They live five miles away and thought he had died, since his collar was found in a street.I bonded immediately with him and was quite tearful when they picked him up. The family kept in touch with us, so we could visit him whenever we wanted to. Initially we were told he was still shy and in a box under their bed. They have two other cats that he has not made peace with yet, and he has fought viciously with both a few times.I told her we would gladly take him if things do not work out. That was 10 months ago. The cat has been to the vet for medication for anxiety, but it has had no effect. I suggested all he probably needed was freedom and exercise.When we visited ...Nearly extinct, rare kangaroo rat found in Santa Clara County

For decades, an imperiled rodent was thought to exist only in a tiny pocket of sandhills in Henry Cowell State Park in Santa Cruz County – and nowhere else on Earth.But scientists have spotted new populations of the rare Santa Cruz kangaroo rat about 25 miles away in the rugged and arid mountains of Santa Clara County, raising hopes for the long-term survival of a unique creature that seemed destined for extinction.The discovery shows that the furry and nocturnal pipsqueaks, who are more closely related to chipmunks than rats, are still hanging on — and are benefiting from habitat conservation.“I was shocked when I found these animals. It was unbelievable,” said Ken Hickman, who detected the elusive subspecies in Sierra Azul Midpeninsula Open Space Preserve, above Los Gatos, using trail cameras. “People have been looking for them for years,”His 2019 discovery, confirmed in April when a team of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District biologists trapped four live a...Authorities: 1 person killed, nearly 2 dozen injured after tornadoes touch down in Mississippi
