Big Lou; Sorry to hear of all your problems, but somehow you still come across as someone who enjoys life. Brings to mind that old saying, "I had no shoes and complained, until I met a man who had no feet!" Keep your chin up, a positive outlook goes a long way!

Yikes, Sissy, you never stop, do you?! I get tired reading all the things you get accomplished in a day, but love it, too! You go woman!!!!
I am a very positive minded person. I can find good in ANYTHING! When I had breast cancer, chemo made my allergies go away. No mosquito bites for 2 summers. I am healthy, cancer free, and have learned that you live every day as if it is your last! Always find good in everything and most importantly, EVERYONE. Sometimes people are having a bad day, I have to stop, think, and then answer when people get on my nerves. It pleases me to take a grumpy person and make them happy and apologizing to me for being grumpy, when I give them the answers they are looking for. On the other hand, when an attorney, someone who should know better, asks me stupid questions that she should know herself, that makes me irritable! But, I find ways to not answer, and let them figure it out on their own! This is not the female attorney I work for, another one that irritates the bejeebers out of us on a regular basis. We've learned not to answer her questions, act like we're not sure, and let her figure them out herself. We are not her walking supervisor for goodness sake! We are not even in her office.
OK, with the health issues, we all have to listen to our bodies and not over work them. Let's keep working on our yards and doing the things we want to do way into our 70's and 80's and 90's! Like Fishy's dad ... I want to be like him, going to the gym, keeping in shape, well into my 70's and 80's! I know I can do it, so I'm pacing myself now, so that I don't wear things out too soon. And, I typically go to the gym during the winter months, once the time changes first week of Nov., I'll join through at least Feb. maybe March. It becomes a really good habit to go right after work, I have a system that I do each workout, Mon-Fri. Sometimes I give myself a night off. :)
Stay healthy, and enjoy your ponds everyone. :)

Yep, we know it! LOL And, I still have likes .... just let me know who you want to like, and I'll do it for you this evening, until I run out, cause I know I'm going to run out here pretty soon. This is a great site. Lots of up beat people, and if you're not, you become that way!

big pharma doesnt create cures they create customers...

My doc has attempted to put me on a few drugs, I said nope. dropped cholesterol levels (the bad stuff) by over 100 pts just walking and eating slightly different. My good cholesterol is always good, real high, told him no way was I taking those nasty lil pills.

Last time I saw him I said I am surprised you don't drop me as a patient, as I always come armed with info against what he thinks :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: he just laughed
I go in once a year, just for the lab tests. Never get the flu shot, even when I worked in the hospital, never get the flu.

Life can change in a phone call, a heart beat, you have to enjoy every second you have until it does.

Hey Addy, did you wake up too early too??

No such thing as bad cholesterol, we would be dead if we did not have any. Sometimes your body needs more when "fixing or fighting" something. Seen a study about people who live to be over 100, they have very high levels of the good and so called bad cholesterol. Doctors argue about this all the time I read.

Who knows for sure. Then there is my sister, vegan, eats no animal fat, and she is always sick, and her body has high so called bad cholesterol, then there is me, I live on animal fat, ymmm butter, cream, cheese, fat, why lie, I eat lots and have lots of "good cholesterol" figure that!! I read your body mades cholesterol in the liver, and very little of what you eat affects that..... your body will make lots when it needs it too! They really don't understand cholesterol completely, its very complex, that's why doctors secretly argue about it. :)

Lol I am always up early, honey leaves for work at 430, I wake up cause I sense he is gone, also used to be at work by 530a for years.

I am a am person not pm. Never have been a night owl.

It used to read 350, (doc would have had a heart attack at that level) now sitting around 200, never going to take those statin drugs, they are nasty.

Three of my sisters believe they have everything that is the disease of the month. Now they are all gluten intolerant, have celiac disease (never diagnosed) b12 deficiency, never diagnosed, and all are sickly. Trying to say our whole family has these diseases as they are genetic per them lol

Ya, my sister has all that too, she can't eat much anymore, but she did all kinds of depression pills for 20 years and some of those pills she used to take had warnings about getting crones, colitis, etc.... I think years of "pill popping" and alcohol to blame for her condition now. :c
