He’s a Leo, as am I.

Our hearts ~are~ our weakness.

[which is ironic, because we usually have a “lot of heart”]....:))

I have the same birthday as The Ahnold and he had to have bypass surgery in his 40s.

All Leos should be hyper-aware of potential heart problems.

Congressman Goodloe Byron was a thin long distance runner in excellent health and he dropped dead jogging on the C&O canal...of a heart attack.

>Can a study really isolate the lifestyle factors sufficiently to demonstrate a genetic disposition?

LOL! Sorry, sorry. - Yes. ;)

It is long time and well established anatomical and medical fact that genetically, blacks store less fat sub-Q and more fat inter- abdominal.

Inter-abdominal fat, as opposed to carcass fat and/or sub-Q, is a primary cause of high blood pressure and all of the medical conditions associated with it.

He is to stupid to experience stress.

IMO.... after his lip lock german lesson on the teleprompter aka “slobbin der knobbin” he gets ice cream and a cookie and his put back in his room.

Honestly he reminds me of a tweeker always looking around to see if he’s busted.

The ‘always looking around’ is just him switching between the left and right teleprompter.
