My taste have surely evolved over the years. When I was young, the school lunch sometimes included coleslaw and I did not like it! I would wait until I thought nobody was looking and I then I’d use a napkin to wipe it off my plate to make it appear I had eaten all of my food.

When I got older, I met my husband and he loves cole slaw. I didn’t want to refuse so when he offered it to me the first time, I ate it. I was shocked! It tasted really good! It was different from how they made it at my elementary school. He varies the recipe. Sometimes carrots. Sometimes not. Sometimes raisins. Sometimes not. Sometimes red cabbage. Sometimes not. No matter. It always tastes good. His recipe would probably be good if he used pineapple chunks or orange slices, but he draws the line at the raisins. Your recipe sounds tasty too! 🙂

You can make this salad the night before or the same day. Just be sure to allow the salad to refrigerate at least 2 hours so the dressing has enough time to marinate the slaw.

This is a delicious salad. When I was a kid, they used to serve cole slaw with our school lunches. I never liked it! Then I met my husband and he prepared cole slaw for me. I didn’t want to offend him by not eating it, so I ate it. It tasted really good! I’ve been eating it ever since. 🙂

Wow you have completely read my mind. I used to have that problem of decluttering, I always kept receipts in my wallet until I can’t even have space to put anything. Until I realized how messy it could turn out to be. So each time I go out shopping I make sure I have checked the receipt for any important information before I discard it. If it is something that I may need to use later then there is a folder that I got that I use to keep those kinds of receipts. But if they’re not important I throw them away that will help me keep my wallet clean and free of many papers that don’t make any sense. I like the way you have laid it all out am sure most of us if not all have had some kind of issue with that thanks for sharing.

Hmm… I can see that you are very methodical and these are some very useful tips.

I am so sorry about that worst situation when your doctor did not do his job well.Better find another doctor. Some doctors this time are not anymore doing their job well.If they feel do not like their job, they have to resign. Why was that doctor prescribed you a tablet that increased your heart beat.That doctor is not credible.Better you did not complain. My best suggestion is to find another doctor through a recommendation.I hope you are very fine this time.Take care.

That is one of the bewilderments of most scientific inventions Especially in the health field. Almost every drug will have its own side effect. Why must this be so?
Why not prouduce drugs that will cure what it was assigned to cure in the body instead of causing other minor, sometimes major unwanted reactions in the body.

The only solution lies with the spiritual. It is only God’s blessings that will make rich and add no sorrow to it.

Know that God! He’s the one who ultimately keeps you healthy.

Wow very sorry to read of your predicament even though hypertension is a difficult condition to take care off, you have said it being positive and being prayerful is essential for someone’s healing. Am glad that you are taking it well and trying your best to maintain the condition.However I feel that it may be a good idea to seek medical attention from another doctor that could be helpful also. I wish you a long life free of pain and medicine in Jesus name Amen. Keep the positive attitude and all shall be well all the best.

I’m sorry about your experience.

Most doctors do not resort to a holistic approach and that is when patients should do it for themselves. An Allopath will not recommend homoeopathy and so on.

As an ex registered nurse I understand your dilemma. Any other doctor that you would consult would prescribe probably the same treatment or some other medication “with side effects”. I used to say to every one of my patients that every person reacts to medication in their own way and thus side effects exists. But at least you have a very positive attitude towards your condition and you consulted other therapists. That is great….
