OSUT#256 - Easter Bunny, Solar Eclipse...what's next?

I'm still new to this group, so please allow a clueless question from time to time.
But being an everyday thing, is the oatmeal a part of a cholesterol managing diet, trying to keep the 'statens out of your system?

I grew up on oatmeal and still love it, but I do take a 'staten drug for my borderline high cholesterol.

yes, my doctor wanted to put me on a statin and I asked if I could have a chance to make diet/lifestyle changes to lower the LDL which he agreed to.
My total cholesterol is only around 195, but the ldl is way over the 100 that is acceptable

Im glad Micro Center went in there... was sad to see Frys close up, but this would be better. I've not been there yet though.

I usually avoid Castleton like the plague.

Oh, I thought they went into the old Fry's building. They went into the old Gander Mountain building.

D! D! Double D' it!
My son was just out walking the dog and stumbled on a curb.
Chipped his two front teeth, uppers - the pretty ones we spent large coin to keep straight growing up.
This will cost him.

I saw those frost/freeze alerts coming up. Of course my fruit trees are pretty much all in full bloom now.

Yes. I have two honey crisp trees to plant and going to wait. I still can put them in the barn

Prep day is the worst part of that !

The pills or the secret turbo juice??

Good morning INGO! Boy what a slow start to the day. Slept in this morning with a lot of low back pain. Taking pain killers and hoping I can snap out of it. If I had to do it over again, unless it was a totally blown out disc, I would never ever had started down the proverbial rabbit hole with lumbar back surgery! As the Colonel said to Rambo: Don’t do it!
OUCH!

Sounds like a decent doc to me.
My doc's Ok, I guess. Over the four years I've taken this statin, she has reduced my prescription three times.
BP meds too, but those are increasing in potency over about fiften yrs of exposure. I have it all going, it seems.

I saw a funny on "911" TV show a few days ago. I can't remember the calamity of the scene but there was an old guy injured. He was asked if he had a history of heart ...
He said, "Look at me, I'm 84 years old. I have a history of everything!"

Sometimes it feels that way. (I'm 68, lost a step, but still kicking at it)
