I have been there myself with Cholesterol. How I controlled it was by changing snacks with me eating less cookies and candy. What I did was replace it with stuff like reduced fat cheez-its and add more fruit. I worked for a time before my genetics took over with me ending up on medication.

Eat kiwi fruit. Look up how it helps regulate cholesterol.

Food was good and lots of it, too! And, I had a cocktail made with watermelon, tequila, some other thing, and some lime juice. When we were departing the restaurant, I walked into a wall. (Guess you can tell that I don't drink often.)

At least you didn't need to be carried home with you sleeping instead of walking into a wall.

I am mentioning this because of spotted cow.

Spotted cow as a beer is capable of making anyone sleep after 1 or 2 glasses of the stuff even if the only alcohol drank for that day was 2 glasses of spotted cow. I know this information due to what happened to family member years ago only drank 2 glasses of alcohol for the day, but they were spotted cow beer with member sleeping like a baby at the time at home.

Our kiddos started elementary school at 7:45a, middle school at 8:30, and high school at 9:05. They got out at 2:45p, 3:30, and 4:10, respectively.
As far as I’ve heard, it hasn’t changed.

That was different that I grew up with in the Wisconsin School District I came from. I got out the earliest in High school and the latest in grade school back in the 1980s and 1990s.

That was 200,000. This is “delete insurance.”

@Songbird76 and @figmentfan423 Did you hear? New Harry Potter film in the works. It’s based on the Cursed Child play. I am personally not a fan of the play. She didn’t write it and there were things in it that didn’t make sense compared to what had been in the books.

I liked the book.

Looks like I missed out on the 10,000 and 200,000 fun. Oh well there is always fun here.

Hubs and I went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum today. It was cloudy but the grounds were still beautiful.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

More from the Arboretum. We tried a few new trails today and found another one we are going to try in October.

A few more from the Arboretum. We even came across some wild turkeys. After our wanderings we went for brunch, no pictures but it was delicious!

Read what I wrote a few posts back about kiwi fruit, or search the web how studies have shown that kiwi fruit helps promote good cholesterol and reduce bad cholesterol.

Wow that pink bush!!! Have any idea what it is?

Thank you for the tip, but I'm not a fan of kiwi. It's got mega seeds and a weird outer cover. The taste isn't bad, so if some ice cream company can use it to make a flavor of ice cream, I'm all in! (Although I'm not sure if ice cream lowers cholesterol . . . )

@donaldtoo has the deserved honor of being 10,000!
I had to reload the page to see it.

Both he and Mr. Ferret are rascals, and I knew that one of them would scoop up the 10,000th!!!

I like Cheez-its and banannas. This could work.
