At the time i would have found strangling him extremeley entertaining

My wife rang home and i told her the grim tale. She is out all day celebrating her friends 40th birthday. She laughed.I think she might be drunk

I sure hope you didn't leave the mess for her to clean up!

No, i got the big ones to clean it up

Did you know today is a holiday?

No, but i do now LN

Gonna celebrate?

Does Hallmark have a card for this special day?

My wife is away for the day with her pals. 10.20 pm here now,don't expect her back till the early hours. Gonna celebrate with half a dozen more bottles of Carlsberg Export and a sandwich

Didn't that sportscaster, Mike North, always promote this holiday?

Well the whole point is not to waste money on cards or gifts. Some of the best things in life are free

We have a cheap card shop close by. You can get any size card for any occasion for less than a pound. Hey presto! Made in the shade.

I'm going to have to inform my wife of this holiday...she wants to order in Chinese food tonight. If we have Chinese tonight instead of steak and a bj, won't I be horny again in an hour?!?

I guess they do, as here's #3.

Another very sick aunt (my dad's twin brother's widow) passed away -- 2 weeks to the day we visited her in the hospital (after my other aunt's funeral). She was unresponsive and was expected to last just two more weeks ...and so it went.

I hope this is it for a while.

Free cards to print out, now she's got no excuses!

Geez, Geoff, that's terrible. When it rains, it pours.

Hang in there, bro!

My God Geoff that's awful. I certainly will keep you and your family in my prayers.

God Bless!

I had to get out of my neighborhood for a while. Today is the Throggs Neck/Country Club St. Patrick's Day parade. Too much noise!

Irish/Celtic music...UGH! Waterboarding to the ears!

I can see where bagpipes might get a little annoying, but I'd love to join in on a St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Here in CA, Cinco De Mayo is widespread.....St. Patrick's Day, not so much. I remember when I was young going to the clubs and getting the Green beer.

In the movie V, they make an egg and toast dish that looks good. Did you see it? have you ever eaten a dish like that? What's it called and how do you make it?

Found this cool Eco friendly site. Not endorsing, just informing any fellow "greenies" out there! Mark.

Sweet! 2.5 months later, despite the White Rose burgers and Pork Roll binge, it's down to 178. Triglycerides are a bit high, HDL a bit low, but LDL is down to 101. And my B.P. is still good.

Salute'! Good news, indeed!

So glad to hear that, JG!!! No reason not to treat yourself now and then. Everything in moderation, as they say.

I'm happy that you're trying, Geoffy. I really am. But you really have to get the HDL up and the trigycerides down. A Triglycerides/HDL ratio under 2 is ideal.

It is now a proven fact that the Tri/HDL ratio may be the single greatest predictor of heart disease.

Here's a recent finding:

BETTER KNOW YOUR TRIGLYCERIDE/HDL RATIO IF YOU WANT TO PREVENT A HEART ATTACK

Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., M.S.

The published evidence is quite clear in documenting that the actual total cholesterol level itself is not the most important risk factor of cardiovascular disease.

It is the ratio between the level of HDL-"good" cholesterol and triglycerides that we need to be concerned about.

HDL is closely related to triglycerides.

It appears common for people with high triglycerides to have low HDL's, and these same people also tend to have high levels of clotting factors in their blood stream, which is unhealthy in protecting against heart disease.

Therefore, in adults, the triglyceride/HDL-"good" cholesterol ratio should be below 2 (just divide your triglycerides level by your HDL).

Or more precisely, the triglyceride/HDL ratio:

2 or less is considered ideal

4 - high

6 - much too high

And, since HDL (high density lipoprotein) is protective against heart disease, the lower the ratio, the better.

In other words, the lower your triglycerides, or the higher your HDL, the smaller this ratio becomes.

It is now believed that the triglycerides/HDL ratio is one of the most potent predictors of heart disease.


A Harvard-lead study author reported:

"High triglycerides alone increased the risk of heart attack nearly three-fold.

And people with the highest ratio of triglycerides to HDL -- the "good" cholesterol -- had 16 times the risk of heart attack as those with the lowest ratio of triglycerides to HDL in the study of 340 heart attack patients and 340 of their healthy, same age counterparts.

The ratio of triglycerides to HDL was the strongest predictor of a heart attack, even more accurate than the LDL/HDL ratio (Circulation 1997;96:2520-2525)."

Yeah, thanks, PB. I know I'm not totally there yet. So you're saying a ratio of 6.6 isn't good?

PS - We're getting this advice from a Chiropractor??

No worse than getting political advice from some of our genius board members .

Got a 12 Inch record coming out next month!! Pricey making it, But nothing beats that authentic wholesome sound of Vinyl!!!

Booyah!!
