DEs, you could add them to your brekie before they get to Sultana stage.
Just use grapes.

#18 a John maybe Des’s loss of kilos was overdoing the wax treatment , the amount that came out of his ears may have been too much. It’s the best way I’ve ever seen of getting rid of the residue lying there , but over indulgence can be dangerous. Cheers JS

Hi Tony
Be careful with the Sultanas, they carry a lot of Aspirin, I had to cut down on them after getting big bruises , I only had to hit something and a bruise came up, sultanas thins the blood. but bugger it I like them on my breakfast.
Cheers Des

Thank you for that bit of information Des. I too like sultanas and have been using them a hell of a lot since the sheriff died. That explains why when working on a car I end up with loads of bruises espeicialy on my arms. Lately instead of bruises the skin just peels back. So thanks mate might cut back on those buggers now and see what transpires.

Hi Les.
It does make a big difference, it was my wife who first warned me, but my Dr confirmed it, now I have around half a dozen on my breacfast.

Some years ago it was a recommendation that we should have an Aspirin a day.
There were on pharmacy shelves such tablets designed for this purpose.
Like many i tried them.

Then came a warning from the medical profession that such taking of Aspirin was not good and could cause a number of problems.
Have not seen those type on the pharmacy shelves now for some time.

My wife has to take a pain killer at times and since being on them finds she now bruises very easily.

I take an aspirin a day on the recommendation of a heart specialist six months ago he charged me $150 so assume he knows what he is talking about , it has another name but is aspirin among the other 17:tablets I take Daily. I go to,see him next month again for a six monthly check although I prefer to call it next year which it will be. JS

After a heart attack first thing removed from my prescription list was Asprin, then they started me on a cocktail , Bisoprolol, Warfarin, Losartin,Spironolactone,Furosimide,Omeperazole,Sta tins and a new one Dapagilflozin.
Not sure what they are all for, but I know I have to plan my day around were I can go for a pee. Never had man boobs before but have now that is the Spironolactone gave me those. Sometimes think GP's get a kick back from big Pharma for moving you onto the new wonder drug.The Omeperozole is for a Hiatus Hernia. They found that because I have trouble digesting an apples along with other stuff. So much for an apple a day keeps the doctor away lol.
Still we are all still the right side of the turf.

I get that Les, but not sure why, skin tears very easily.

After reading your post James, reminded me of a service that they have here in Oz and might pay to check if it is available in the UK. Because the sheriff was taking so many pills and such like the Doctor would arrange for a pharmacist to check on all the medication that she was taking so that she was not being prescribed the wrong crap. It was enlighting to find out how many pills that she was not needing and was contaracting others. Think from memory it was about every six months or could have been yearly. A service well worth looking into. It also exposes how much the doctor is dedicating to following what he is prescribing does it not. Myself I am on diabetes and colestral tablets and that is all. Sympathise with you all when you sit down to a plate of medication each and every day. But please check out if you can get this service and there are other services available but the buggers do not let you know.

Sorry about the post Vern as I am fully aware it is straying from the MN
