Conclusions and Relevance Adults 75 years of age or older with adenoma at prior colonoscopy were more likely to experience subsequent CRC and CRC death compared with those without adenoma, but cumulative risks were low and were far exceeded by competing risks for non-CRC death. Older adults may consider deprioritizing surveillance colonoscopy relative to other […]
Yes dear reader, yet another post in the never ending series of random thoughts on retirement. https://lifeunderwriter.net/tag/random-thoughts-on-retirement/ Though the traditional retirement age in the U.S. typically falls between 62 and 67, many Americans continue working beyond that point.

Changes in neural connections due to substance use and withdrawal are long-lasting, and craving can peak well into abstinence. Incubation of craving in rats — in other words, an inverted U-shaped curve where craving rises, plateaus and then declines — holds across drug classes. So although it was initially demonstrated for cocaine, incubation of craving […]

I’m glad they survived! And what our pups?
Hydrangeas. When I learned how the baby plants (pups) are created by the parent I decided to try growing some. I tend to kill most things I try to plant in the yard. Hence my level of amazement that these little ones survived.
I hope to plant a hydrangea in my yard this year what do you recommend? I’d like to put it in the backyard where it’s pretty shady. It would get some afternoon sun. Do you think it might do OK there?
I’m not an expert on gardening and would normally defer to someone else to answer this question. But with the help of The Google I’ve learned some simple tips. Shady is good. This plant does not like full sun. Soil with good drainage. Prune off dead stalks as you head towards the winter months. And when you find little pups in the spring hiding beneath the parent canopy snip them off, extract from the ground and transfer to tiny pots to allow the root systems to grow.
