I hope your wife's surgery went well, H!

Statin drugs are used to reduce cholesterol and other fats from the blood. You should let your provider know if you drink more than 2 alcoholic beverages per day, have liver or kidney disease, or thyroid problems. They're both well known statins. Atorvastatin, known by the trade name Lipitor, is a bit older and has had a good track record. Rosuvastatin, or Crestor, is a newer drug. They both will lower the LDL, or bad, cholesterol. HDL, or good, cholesterol can be increased with exercise.

Low dose aspirin has been used as a mild platelet inhibitor for years. Newer studies have shown little to no correlation with blood thinning. However, I have seen patients with stroke or heart attack helped by aspirin. I don't think it hurts to be on it and it might help.

Just try to remember, it is possible to "out-eat" your meds! They won't save you from a bad diet. There's a reason fast food is called "heart attack in a sack!"

Started the baby aspirin (now know as low dose) regimen a couple or three days ago. The diet is pretty much on par. I’m watching what I eat more and more. Weeks at home are no problem. SWhoMBO has had us on organic, low fat, blah blah blah, for years. It’s just when I’m on the road those weeks, where it all falls apart. So half the year…good….half …bad. Exercise? Same.

Thanks for the gouge on the Statins. I think I’m just going to have to have a come-to-Jesus moment and accept that I need to get on these things

Made a fantastic Skillet Taco Pie for the tribe last night. Swapped out the black beans for pinto’s (more Mex than Cuban) and added diced tomatoes & Hatch green chilies. Was a big hit and easy (which is what I was going for), oh and also swapped the Pablano, for two large Anaheim chilis.

Not a fan of the nursing side but love the chef side of taking care of my shut-in!

I love this color

I'm of two minds about it. They had some colors from that era which I liked better.

The best pirate I've ever seen.

It's a '55 Chrysler.

That might be what's up with him. I think he'd lose what's left of his mind if he were a single horse. He might do a bit better going back to a bigger herd. Maybe.

You need a mare to put him in his place.... but then a new problem..... mares can be a pain

I'm a rum guy. Myers and Coke with a splash of Rumple Minze. That or a 151 Hurricane and a hot tub under the stars.

OK Mittering, have I got a rum for you.

Remember back in the late 80’s early 90’s, Sat morning fishing shows on ESPN? Walker’s Cay Chronicles hosted by Flip Pallot was one. One of Florida’s premier outdoorsmen, Flip went on to graduate to making rum…or at least went in and recruited Don Poncho, a master rum distiller, and created Frigate Reserve Rum. It has become my go to! I’ve tried the 8, 12, and 15, and after this nursing stint, I’ll reward myself w the 21!

You can’t buy it off the shelf unless you reside in Fl, Al, GA, or SC…luckily my shooting range is on da border, so I jumps across and nabs a wee dram when I’m there! You can order online though.

Papa’s Pilar is another I’ve been meaning to try…

I missed it, but the landlady said he was going to ambush Geezer Poodle for some food one morning and Geezer fetched him three good kicks in the ribs. That had to hurt.

Good for Geezer. I bet he hasn't tried that since.

Geezer died 4/17/2023, so no.

That was (I think) a 1958 Plymouth.

According to the Stephen King fansite, Christine is a '58 Plymouth Fury. https://stephenking.fandom.com/wiki/Christine_(car)

Ach, sorry to hear that.

 

[Tweedledude]

I am not as fortunate.
My oldest sister is disabled and my twin says she will help but when I rope her in I can't trust that she will..

Example:

Me--"van you go over (15 minutes away) and vacumn moms kitchen floor and tidy up... I will go over Wednesday and do the rest"

Her--"sure no problem"

I go Wednesday and do it all

Ya being responsible equals more work more effort. Hang in the Missk.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah, me too. He was pushing 40 which is old AF for poodles.


He was a very good boy.

Or it seems you have to get another grumpy old man to kick...er get him in to shape.....

Hell of a storm came through....now have blue skies

Calm them right down....

It's overcast here but much lighter. I just took another more proper walk where I didn't look like id showered while I was out. Maybe just maybe sneak a run in here shortly

So I was concentrating on good manners today with the boys..

There are two things I insist on. Firstly nobody goes over an obstacle before me unless I give permission it’s an accident waiting to happen and believe me I have had my share.

Secondly you wait your turn unless I say otherwise. Even Jack is getting the message.
