Thanks Gud - the problem is that my fear makes me want to do something (like run far away) to avoid something being done to me (like more work and/or layoff), but my non-lizard brain knows that running away would be a hot mess.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

it is only part diet, it is a lot genetic
So much this!!! I (over 400 pounds and waaay out of shape) lucked out on the cholesterol gene front, but my brother (who's been mostly thin all his life, and works out on a regular basis) has had to work on reducing his count from 235. So don't beat yourself up over it--blame your parents!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
blame your parents
Oh, yeah. That's definitely going to happen. Mom had triple bypass at 66 and Dad has high blood pressure and cholesterol.
I'll just buy more Cheerios and ignore the Baconaise.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

OH GOD THOSE ARE SO GOOD.
Ahem. My mother spent years trying to re-create those. She finally got it down, and now whenever she makes them, we all have to be quarantined else our garlicky dragon breath will level entire cities.

I'm sorry if I sounded crass--I meant it as a joke. I apologize if I offended!!

Oh, Kathy, NOT offended at all! My sarcasm gets a big FAIL today. It was funny. I'm blaming mom and dad. They also gave me the bi-polar and compulsive behavior. But Mom gave me her awesome legs and her love of reading. Dad gave me my sense of humor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My cable is jacked, every time I call Time Warner they have a pre-recorded excuse. Apparently it's sunspots. Or flares. Something solar anyway.
Have you tried OpenDNS? The last time TWC was having consistent problems I set it up and it seems like I have fewer problems than Bob (same cable, no OpenDNS).

Oh, good, Cashmere--glad to know I wasn't stepping over any lines.
Let's see...I got my good cholesterol, my "potato nose" (as Grandma called hers), and my love of history and folk songs from Dad, and my Irish skin and love of reading from Mom's side (she likes to read but isn't obsessive about it, her dad OTOH was a complete bookaholic; when she saw my need to read, she knew that her dad wasn't completely gone from the world).
