Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Hmmm, that sounds like a good method--I should try that after I advance beyond dial-up :)
You got a problem with Ford trucks?
I'm gonna have SSQ read your note to 2J about cholesterol. His Mama lived to the age of 78 eating ice cream every night and with cholesterol in the 300's! I don't remember her ever having any heart problems at all. She died of lung cancer after having smoked for over 45 years!
Back Pain Relief - Qigong for Healing & Prevention (video)
I do some of the stretches from this to help my lower back from sitting at the computer, and they work pretty well for me. BTW as I'm looking at the first link, I see he also has a new book on arthritis. I haven't read that one yet but his other books and seminars are really good, so it might be worth checking out.
I like Smart Balance as well. It does taste good!
yer still cute when yer jealous...
I had the whole cardio routine run when I was having those heart palpitations year before last. Even with cholesterol of 210 and high triglycerides, I had NO underlying heart disease. My regular doc had put me on digoxin to prevent palpitations; I even had them while ON the meds! He also put me on warfarin (coumadin) to keep the blood from pooling in the heart chamber and causing clots, which would increase the danger of stroke.
When the Cardio guy gave me all the numbers and info and said there was no disease, I asked him if he thought I needed to be on the meds and he said if it were up to him, he'd take me off of them. I used that info and bullied my doc to take me off BOTH meds, and asked him what warfarin does that an 81mg aspirin doesn't do. He said not much, so I just take an aspirin every day. I still have palps from time to time, but as we've discussed, I think they're hormone related. Also, since my cholesterol has come down, the ratio of HDL/LDL is good, and my triglycerides are down, I'm in even better shape than before!
Feb. '77?
I was supposed to be November of '76, but came feet first and a month early. Patience has NEVER been my virtue...
I'm too darned nosey NOT to do it! ;o)
;-)
I would really like to know if the high cholesterol has impacted my vessels...if I have a blockage beginning. I'm gonna talk to him about it tomorrow.
I really want to take a vey conservative approach to treatment.
I just found out that Toyota will start selling a gas-electric hybrid Highlander next year!! They ought to have the kinks ironed out by the time I'm in the market for a new car in 2008! I'm going to keep the Windstar through Clare and Joseph learning to drive, and get something new when they're off to college.
My Mama didn't raise no fool!
that said, nice ride bro...
Right on!
I'm good at both...and yet still impatient.
Heh...
What a tangled web we weave!
I guess that is the way to ACT patient but not to BE patient :P
Well, given muh druthers, I'd go with a Dodge. They just didn't offer me the same deal. You'd about have to put a gun to my head to make me ever buy another Chevy. But you gotta remember, mine won't be as much of a work truck as yours.
Both trucks I've owned have been Fords. But the smaller ones. I had a Ford Courier for awhile before I bought my Civic. Then I bought a 1983 Ford Ranger at the church yard sale and drove it 'til the engine blowed up.
This one ain't mine yet. I've been talking financing back and forth today. Gonna go by and look at it tonite. It's mighty spendy.
But, the 95 Mercury Sable that I'm driving acts like it's been stuck with a Mordor blade. It won't never completely heal. I've replaced the engine and the transmission. And the transmission is acting mighty stubborn again.
~IF~ I get the truck, I'll either keep the Sable for Jr. to learn to drive and then trade it in on something respectable for him...More than likely I'll donate it to the Kidney Foundation for the tax write off. Dealer said he ~might~ be able to give me $500 for it.
It's a start!
