Tens stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation. I have heard about them for years and saw (an expensive one) when a family member used one to help with knee pain.
Well, they have come a long way in the past few years! Recently, a family member developed pain, swelling and carpal tunnel in a hand/wrist. After asking a physical therapist if a TENS unit would be of potential benefit, I ordered the TechCare Massager Tens Unit Plus 24 Rechargeable Electronic Pulse Massager Machine.
It is like having your own personal acupuncturist at your beck and call 24/7….in a small, rechargeable “box”! Easy to set up, lots of good instructions and pictures to help place the electrode pads, charge in the lithium battery lasts HOURS and it says lifetime warranty. Best of all, we have seen a reduction in the swelling and pain at a very reasonable unit purchase price.
This has been a great, effective do-it-yourself treatment to use.
Spicewalla Dried Herbs Spice Sampler
June 19, 2020
I love excellent food….and excellent food begins with excellent ingredients, including the spices. I feel so fortunate to have found Spicewalla spices (even before Oprah put them on her favorite things list). Spicewalla spices are created from generations of knowledge of how best to produce, procure and blend the spices….and you can feel and taste their unique essence and love in each tin. How did I find them? I attended a “meet the artist” event and found myself overcome with the amazing, complex, rich, exotic smell of spices coming from the adjacent building space….which happened to be Spicewalla’s home. I walked inside their retail area and soaked my senses in what I then learned were the spices used by the best of chefs and available to me and you at Amazon!
The Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

For those new to cooking, remember to sear your meat to brown it before slow cooking or pressure cooking….and you can do that right in the pot if you choose although I prefer to use a cast iron skillet for searing/browning. I have had my Lodge 10.25” Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet for years and it works with induction cooktops as well as conventional cooktops!
Instant Pot Cooking System

About Slow cookers:
After a LONG search for a non toxic slow cooker with no lead, I found the Instant Pot with its food grade stainless steel components. Wow! Did I get more than a replacement slow cooker with the purchase of the Instant Pot! Makes the best rice EVER, and I love the pressure cooker option. It is important to read the instructions and there are plenty of videos and recipes so most anyone can create perfect meals!

Household appliances now contain more delicate electronics than ever. Not just TV’s and computers but dishwashers, refrigerators and washer/dryers. We now have so many delicate electronics that can easily be damaged or destroyed with a single electrical surge! After losing a number of expensive items over several years, we found an excellent solution! We purchased an Eaton whole house surge protector and have NOT lost a single appliance or TV since it was installed. We have found the Eaton whole house surge protector to be an Excellent Choice and value and readily available at Amazon. Your electrician can install the whole house surge protector easily and quickly and you can breathe a lot easier when a storm approaches knowing you have protection that is backed by Eaton Quality.
