meara, I have high triglycerides. My doctor tells me to cut down on the carbs, but I'm not sure how the connection works out.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Belated Happy Birthday wishes for GC. I hope it was the bestest.
Breastfeeding the boys was a lovely peaceful time for me. Countless times a day I was “forced” to stop doing all other stuff to sit nursing the baby. I went back to work almost immediately and would take the baby with me to customer’s offices and nurse in break rooms or empty offices. I wasn’t at all shy about it. I nursed in restaurants at the table, in malls on benches, at the beach. I nursed the first for 2 years and only stopped because I got pregnant. Bobby lost interest at about 15 months. It was very convenient to always have food ready at proper temperature.
I found pumps awkward and didn’t use them. White font for the squick inclined: I found that when I was nursing on one side the other side gushed so I would loosely attach one of those bottle liners on the other breast and let it fill. Of course I only did that at home.
Mmmm oatmeal.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Someone tell me about triglycerides?
They're related to carbs and sugar. I looked up the blood chemistry of it once, but I don't totally remember how it worked out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I was able to signifigantly lower my triglycerides by taking fish oil.

When I go to my cholesterol doctor, he always looks at my test results and tries to tell me to eat more fish.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
American Heart Association, [link] has some useful info about tryglicerides. Sadly, it says to limit booze too.
Flax seed (and flax seed oil) is also supposed to have high omega-3 fatty acids. Some take that as a supplement in order to avoid fish oil.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Fish oil is supposed to help with the good cholesterol. That and exercise (a brisk walk at lunchtime works for me) get the good cholesterol up.

Oh, Daniel, that is sucky, sucky, sucky. I'm so sorry. I hope today is a little better.
Poor meara with the not pleasant wake-up call. Good luck with lowering. I have no advice, unfortunately.
Can it be 2:00 already? I want to get this over with.
