When I first heard about Tim Russert, my first thought was "heart"

I have high cholesterol and have been known to not follow the best diet in the world - I'm going to redouble my efforts to eat better and make sure I get lots of exercise.

1. he was also a diabetic which i did not know until today.

2. Oh, I didn't know that either

I didn't always agree with his approach - he seemed to go after Dems much more than he did Repukes - but this news makes me very sad. I'm surprised at how sad I feel.

3. yeah, i wasn't a fan either, the white board made me see fuck off! But his passing was

unexpected and election night without him and the damn board is going to be strange and a little sad.

4. Garlic, garlic, garlic in everything AND the pills.

Also, oils that are liquid at room temp (olive, grapeseed, etc. not canola or corn oils)

Also supplement Omega oils.

6. I do take the (controversial) Vytorin and Lovaza, a prescription fish oil

Also the odorless garlic. All I really need to do is eat better - I'm going to the gym at least 4 days a week and working hard there.

Thanks! :hi:

Everyone can learn something from a tragic death. :hug:

A few of the women I work with are going to some "doctor" and getting injections to lose weight. I ain't payin' anybody.
