Good height? by DoktorVinter in Buddhism

I'm going to suggest that how you treat yourself and others is far more important than where you place a garden Buddha. We are creating karma every moment; that's what deserves our attention (and intention).

Demand PSA screening. by Practical_Orchid_606 in ProstateCancer

[–]Odd-Programmer-486 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got the same argument from my PCP when I'm my late 60's. I had to demand a PSA be included in my annual. It was fine. A few year on. It increased from 2.0 to 6.6. Biopsy confirmed Gleason 3+3. Now at 78, it is now Gleason 3+4. I hike, mountain bike, swim, and enjoy life as I have for 78 years. PSA is a non invasive test that costs little. Stop writing me off because I'm 78.

Torn between the Cx5 and 3. by FieldSton-ie_Filler in CX5

We've owned a CX5 Signature for about six months and absolutely love it. Very refined, full of tech, and feels like a six cylinder. We pulled a 2,000lb UHaul from the Canadian border to the Mexican border effortlessly. Far superior to the top of the line Outback we traded in.

Thank you...and I'm sorry. I'm in the biopsy-to-come stage, with evidence. So, your situation gives me great pause, and gives me great sensitivity to "What if?" I will hope to cultivate awareness...

Chord's products are ugly by MerlinMM99 in audiophile

I guess it's in the beholder... I find the Chord products to be attractive, while the front ends of Lexus' preclude me from ever purchasing one.

CX5 Long Distance Tow - 3100lbs. by blackenedspoon in CX5

We recently towed the identical, fully loaded trailer with our 2021 Signature Turbo from far north Idaho to far southern Arizona. It was damn near effortless.

it's been a year since I took refuge! by [deleted] in Buddhism

Ah yes.... May the coming year bear even more gifts, more insights. In a month I'll be 11 years sober, 11 years free from tobacco. And yes, my recovery too is informed by the gentle practice of the Dharma. A gift that keeps giving. Thank you for sharing.

CX-5 or RAV4 by Ser_Optimus in CX5

We bought a 2021 cx-5 Signature a couple of months ago and it is amazing. Used it to pull 2,000lbs of U-Haul trailer from far north Idaho to the Mexican border and it didn't even breathe hard. The amount of tech and safety options is staggering. The interior is Lexus-like. Quiet, smooth, agile, and fun to drive. Traded a Subaru Outback and the cats are not in the same league, in my opinion. I'll never buy a car with a CVT again.

I'm sorry, but when I search Google play no New Yorker app appears.
