Chatty bunch this morning. Bet there is at least one post b4 I even finish this short one. Yup at least one, there's Sassy. At least hasn't flipped to new page.
Loverly - Love the beach wedding pictures. Great weather. Adore father's black socks. My DH doesn't even own a pair of sandals. I could see him doing that in his white socks. Umm Beach Yoga. Must find those easy DVDs. Somewhere I have a yoga mat from years ago when I used to exercise to Gilad.
Welcome Mary. Yes we go all hours of the day/night. I'm pretty sure I have heard of cardiologists who specialize in oncology related matters. Not sure of the correct professional title. In NYC there surely should be some. Are you having low BP or high? I could see either I suppose. I'm thinking maybe low??? Sassy the master - I bow b4 you.
Boyd - thinking of you and hoping all goes well. I got my results in 3 days which I think was actually sooner than anticipated. But of course being a Thursday probably not until next week. Bummer. Stay with us. Check in when you can. You got this girl and we've got you.
I got sent this yesterday and it took me forever to find what the hysteria was about. I though the geography was wrong. You girls and your mushrooms.
Yes Chevy Preview and you can see who has posted while you are composing.

Thanks Lilgoats! It's just that with AOL, and this site, AOL will suddenly just shut off! And I lose everything....
What do you gals know about the Cholesterol meds? Just wondering, because DD hates to takes something, thinking it might cause other things to go crazy.... She is changing everything about her eating habits.... trying to get healthier....
FUNNY picture....Hah! That IS funny.... The guys were probably going "Oohhhh YEAH!"

Chevyboy - I have read a few places and found a study that says long term use of statins for cholesterol greatly increase chances of breast cancer. I have stopped taking mine. Also can't eat grapefruit while doing statins.

Chevy - I have the problem of opening too many windows and my computer just says "nada no more not going anywhere". I've learned to not be afraid of "control-alt-delete" and then log off. It will all come back for me and then I can open selected windows. Usually my post is still there in the composing section. DH looked into getting more RAM - some kind of memory that this is lacking - and it would only take one more "Ram" so not worth tinkering with it. Just cannot justify $ for new computer and I just am not a laptop person. His sits there unused all day long with all kinds of memory. He just got an external hard drive that I think might be supposed to help. A computer person I ain't and I know it lol.
OK girls tea report. The Ntingwe Kwazulu was OK but I would not spend the money on it again. The Tea Room tea came in a lovely tin I hope to reuse for something. Smelled divine this morning but I just made Yorkshire. Tomorrow will try the tea room blend. Having a big glass of iced apple chai.
Have been fighting the gosh darn ants again. Had outbreak in LR and found ants all in my bleached towels in DD's room (storage mostly there). Not a fan of bug spray but Raid House and Garden has been lightly applied. DH needs to spray foundation. I hate to do anything to my toads and frogs but can't keep this up. No serious chance for rain for at least 2 weeks if then. Ants must have liked the May/June rains because nothing came in then.
Know Spookie took statins. Think they caused her lots of pains. I have not gotten there yet. More trouble with BP than cholesterol.

HeyLilGoats, I loved that graphic! Yeehaw! Like to be in that front!
Chevy, I hate cholesterol drugs. Took Lipitor and Crestor for several years, at diff times of course. Last year, I just decided I was getting off the Crestor and did. It was like waking up from a fog. My memory improved, I felt better, all sorts of little things changed. I think they are one of those drugs that can do more harm than good but then I'm often accused of pretending to be this close to be an expert at everything. Ha!

Yoga anyone?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn3mMmy_ghY
There are several more to the side. Unbelievable!
Chevy, I was on Lipitor and its generic. Affected my memory something awful. Went off it and PC was not happy but at least I have my memory back. Have also read where it can be a factor in developing diabetes. Thank you very much guess what I have and now to hear it attributes to developing breast cancer. Chit!!!

I've been on simvastatin for years, like maybe 20? With the fibro and arthritis, can't tell if statin makes a difference now the AI. I hurt all over most of the time. Don't like grapefruit all that much, it doesn't like me. Too much acid. Think main se is leg cramps. Eat almonds daily, high in magnesium, helps the cramps.

Hey Spookie I forgot a great big YAY for your LE pump yesterday.
Kath - Nick can speak Italian ( I think it is anyway) all day to me. Agree dog is cute. Thanks for the yoga vids.
Edited because it sounded like I was an idiot.

Loverly, I could be wrong. But it's a reasonable possibility. I think the angel was produce by either Dalain Crystal Coast glass company in China or it's predessor. I'm leaning towards it being produced by the predessor as the current company isn't producing anything like this now. But I couldn't get into that store(link below)
"DALIAN CRYSTAL COAST GLASSWARE CO., LTD was built on Apirl,2003. We was born from DALIAN SHENGDAO GLASSWARE FACTORY(this factory was built on 1917 year). The whole group of us devoted ourselves for producing and designing color handmade glassware."

The uses of the glass beads is unique and consistent between the two pieces. Dalain glass does hand blown glass and manufactured glass. The wings I'm sure are hand blown applied. The link goes to the Dalain store in Dalain. The final keyword that lead me to Dalain was beaded This link is to the dinner set.

For those that use aloe, or drink it, this is what it looks like when blooming.

OKAYAMA...the light bulb finally came on. Looks like a mushroom to me,Goats.
Kathi, your GS knows how to play mahjong?? What a clever boy!!!
Marlana, busy working?
Pattycake, kids back to school?
Ms. CHEVY, ok, I'm still not sure why autocorrect keeps changing the letters of your name to cap. Have not heard of cholesterol meds causing BC, but I think there are contradictory findings linking choleserol meds to memory loss. I guess it depends on who is doing the studies and their motives. Has DD tried fish oil, flax seeds, or chia seeds? Mom tried the white chia seeds and cholesterol went down beautifully without help of anti-cholesterol med. Have her cut back on red meat. Eat more fish( preferably wild not farm raised), veggies, high fiber foods. Exercise. Some people can control their cholesterol with life style modification. When we hit menopause, our good cholesterol goes down. Exercise might help HDL (good cholesterol) go up. It's the oxidized cholesterol that causes damage. Eat more food with high antioxidants ie., berries, garlic, citrus ( careful with grapefruit), and pretty much most colorful fruits and veggies.

You gals have been busy while I've been chasing glass across the world.
Earlier when I posted to Mary, I said "It's easier to just not do Grapefruit/ GF juice when taking any meds than to remember what it can't be used with."
In the late 90's this retired astronaut's wife was my patient. He was on a crusade then to get statins outlawed b/c of the damage they do. This is a link to his web page
The research on the weight thread has led me to the Paleo diet. Haven't written that on there yet as I was still reading and learning. The Paleo diet is essentially a no white diet. But it's more than that. I'm not well versed in it yet ,so, I can't pontificate yet hahah.
The Paleo diet supports the gut bacteria. Maintain the gut bacteria and all kinds of healing can occur. But it won't happen over night. It's a way of life. A long term commitment. Not sure I can give up my bread and butter.
The Paleo diet is the in diet right now. I was surprised that was where the research led too. The research also indicates a low fructose diet. Which is likely part of the paleo diet, just haven't got that far yet.

Thanks for asking Spookie. It was the pool guy. Came on Tuesday instead of Monday.
Loverly, Chevy is a trade name for the car maybe that's why. Did you read the stuff about the glass? I worked on it all day. Brain worn out.
Kathy, With DS I stopped asking about the worst thing after the first few times. I was interested in knowing what your GS's observation would be b/c of the great differences in culture. Marvelous he did a video tour. Clever boy

For a while my phone would capitalize Chevy. Then one day it quit. Who knows.
Sas, Whew!!!!

Spookie, that's what I thought too

Thanks you guys! She was afraid of taking the drugs.... Now I'll tell her what I heard from all of you..... I had read that here before, quite awhile ago!
So glad I asked your opinion!
I was capitolized? Possibly for some reason..... who knows?
When I log on with AOL, that is where I have the problems.... all of them..... So when I go through Chrome or Firefox, everything is alright.... It's just a habit I got into, when I first got a computer.... But I don't think AOL is the best browser by any means! Always hesitates, and says "Oops, something happened to your browser" and it restarts.... by THAT time I am ready to get that iron skillet and give it "what for!"

Somedays my computer takes all my windows and fans them out on the bar that is below. Other days not, has a mind of it's own. I have managed to get 1/2 screen only but thank goodness it was very late so I just shut'er down. Better by morning. No clue how to fix it. DD knows and has talked me thru it.
OK I make progress when I get mad. Two big TP bags of shredding ready to go out. Dead ants vacuumed out of DD's room. Slowly winnowing stuff out of there. Where DH piles all his paid bills. We went thru piles the other day looking for an account #. Some of out stuff is bundled so no account# on there. Decided he didn't want to do what drove the original search. Geesh. Have 2 bags of stuff that need to go to Goodwill. Been in there for months. Maybe next Friday when I go to eye doc.
Interesting plant Spookie. Like it. My DM worked for an aloe vera company in the late 1970s. They made cosmetic stuff and I think the drinkable too.

LIl gt, you know they are seeking water? I'm a northern gal. Had to learn that down here. I pay through the nose for slug-a-bug. But so happy no bugs, spiders etc. I have green Johnson and Bermuda grass. Screw Augustine and Bahia. My Johnson and Bermuda are drought resistant & bug resistant native florida grass. If I WERE IN GHARGE, I'd outlaw the water hungry ones. But I'm not in charge.

Ms. Sas, Chinese Alibaba= American Amazon. Sometimes OCD is beneficial and sometimes it drives me nut because I can't let go. Perseverance is good though

Ms. Smarty, beautiful hotel. How old is that building?Like to see the inside.

Good spinach, Loverly, I find where a little piece of glass was made a half a world away. Can't be a world away, but near. Yes, OCD, I know you are OCD and ADD too. What's unique is it's uniqueness. Cool. Not just a little piece of glass. That's part of walking by the shelves and knowing something's different. Grab that piece----savor it's beauty.....just a little angel.
