THat's interesting what you say about vitamin D and cholesterol. Husband had a full medical recently and his bad cholesterol is fine but his good is low. But it seems there's little he can do to improve that. I'd suggest a bit more sunlight - but that would mean moving!

I'm with you Berni, The Lord has our days numbered and no matter what your cholesterol is when He's ready for you He's ready.

I inherited high blood pressure from my mother.

I'm glad you are happy with your healthcare system and you have the time to research and follow up with Dr.'s recommendations and diagnosis. So many people don't have the time to do it.
There is such a battle raging right now in the States over this. We have superb healthcare for the most part. I hate the thoughts of Nancy Pelosi dictating my healthcare in the future.

You'll soak in lots of Vita D in Mexico.
All your snacks sound yummy today.
I was snacky today, but not as healthy as you. I have lost a few pounds doing Eat Stop Eat. Finally found something that works for me. I want to try and get about 5 more pounds gone.
