  1. Dexcom's Stelo will cost around $90 a month The new device should add $31 million in sales this year after launching this summer. That's below Dexcom's guidance for 1% of sales, which comes out to about $42.5 million at the midpoint of the company's guidance. Conservatively, that could amount to $200 million in 2025 sales, or about 5% of total U.S. sales. It all depends on how Dexcom opts to promote the product. People with prediabetes will be the low-hanging fruit. But there are other metabolic health uses, including nutrition, weight loss and athletic performance. Dexcom stock has made a strong comeback since October as enthusiasm for the metabolic health space grows.

  2. Chicken in the Air Fryer: This is a simple recipe or cooking method that can be done rather quickly. Boneless chicken breast and/or thighs High fat butter or lard or other liquid (oil if you diet allows) Salt Pepper Other seasonings Using boneless breasts or thighs, they only need to be thawed enough to cut them into chunks, though they can be completely thawed. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F or 204 C and set cook time for 8 Minutes Cut the chicken into chunks between 1/2 to 1 inch each. I find I can cut the chicken while the air fryer preheats. Coat them in a lubricant like melted butter or lard (oil may be used if your diet allows the use of oil, olive oil works nicely) The cold chicken may cause butter or fat to coat like a paste so warmer chicken is better than almost still frozen, but it will work even with semi-frozen chicken - it is just a bit sticky to handle. Season chicken liberally with salt, pepper and any other seasoning your diet allows Put chicken in cooking basket when air fryer is preheated. Shake basket at 2 minute intervals until the time is up Chicken should be done in 8 minutes and ready to eat. If you like yours cooked further, just add time 1 minute at a time since the air fryer should already be hot and they can become overcooked rather quickly This is a quick recipe that does not require much preparation or time. The chicken should be thawed enough to cut with a couple minutes in the microwave if it is frozen solid. The fat/oil will help the seasoning stick to the chicken chunks.
  3. Ours do get fed some homemade scratch feed but they feed on what they get from the ground all on their own ... plenty of bugs in the ground. The homemade feed is made by putting out of date chips, pork rinds, pretzels, etc. in a cement mixer, tossing in a couple rocks to help break things up and run the mixer until it looks right. Hey! What can I say, this stuff doesn't cost us anything.
  4. We never worry which brand eggs are the "best" ... we have chickens and therefore have fresh eggs
  5. It should be noted that, while Aldi owns WD, they are not operating Aldi like WD stores. They are planning to convert some of the WD's to Aldi's and keep some as WD. The WD stores and the Aldi stores may not have the same prices, sales and deals.
  6. In our area, Winn Dixie is now owned by Aldi. They do have the steaks on sale.
  7. You do realize, wings are considered white meat ...
  8. Thing is - it's not that uncommon here. I can drive through several separate rainstorms on the way home.
  9. In Florida we have a couple of those sayings ... Don't like the weather ... wait a minute Don't like the weather ... change to the other side of the street. Oh yeah ... also - It's not that it doesn't get cold here, but we don't have to shovel the cold out of the way.
  10. We have an "Instant Vortex" air fryer It seems to work quite well. As you can see, you can set the time and/or temperature. Although I have read and seen video telling you to cook chicken wings a few at a time (single layer in the basket), I found that I can dump a generous batch of wings in the basket and, as long as I shake them several times while cooking, that all come out perfectly cooked. I learned how to do this from a YouTube video where the guy was disproving the "single layer" myth. I will say, a batch of wings takes longer in the air fryer than it does in a deep fryer - but it is way less messy and doesn't waste any oil ... and seems toa little quicker than cooking them in the oven. I can cook a boneless, skinless chicken breast from frozen to properly cooked in about 12 minutes. If it is thawed, it only takes about 8 minutes.
  11. Perception has an impact on some people's point of view when it comes to the cost of education and the expected and/or accepted income of those with the education. On another forum, shortly before the pandemic, they were having a "discussion" (dispute) over who should get paid what. It seemed most thought that "professionals" with a degree should get maid much more than skilled workers. One of the main reasons for this was due to the high cost of the education. It was pointed out that many leave college with a debt of $100,000 dollars or more and need the higher salaries to pay off the debt. When it was pointed out that a skilled worker could easily have $100,000 of debt tied up in the cost of his tools and truck it was downplayed as not pertinent since they didn't go to college. They seemed to think that a skilled worker making more than $35 an hour was absolutely uncalled for and ridiculous - after all, they don't have a degree ... while a person with a degree was worth every penny of $75 an hour or more and totally justifiable. The fact that both incurred the same $$ of debt was considered irrelevant. Of course, when they need a skilled worker to fix or build something they can't do, they expect one to be readily available ... and affordable.
