Hi Michael,

 RH> I've had a few of those moments. When we were in AZ, we lived right
 RH> off the main road on post.  There were times that cars would go by and
 RH> shake the windows; the drivers had the bass speakers really cranked up.

 ML> Ooh, I hate that.

Me too.  The house could be shut up tight and the sound/vibrations still
penetrate.  Literally, a boom box on wheels going by.


 RH> Made me wish I could take a .22 and put a few well placed shots into
 RH> the vehicle. (Yes, I can shoot & have a pretty good aim.)

 ML> I'd be better at this than you, because we know that we'd aim
 ML> for the stereo set, because we're both far too nice to to give
 ML> the drivers more than a scare, right? But I can shoot and have
 ML> extremely bad aim.


The only down side to that plan is that firearms can't be discharged in
a housing area.  Sounds like a workable deal otherwise. (G)  I couldn't
even blast a rattlesnake to his reward because of the firearms law. If I
ever saw one in the yard (thankfully, I never did), I would have had to
call the Animal Control folks. The snake would be long gone before they
arrived.

 RH> Yes, tho it looks like maybe I should push red meat more. Got the
 RH> results of soem blood work to find out I'm anemic and have had a high
 RH> platelet count since at least

 ML> High platelets isn't always bad, if you can control their
 ML> stickiness. I wonder if you can be a platelet donor?

I doubt I can be since I lived in Germany during the late 80s/early 90s.
Red Cross won't let us donate blood on the chance we might be harboring
the human version of Mad Cow disease.  But, I've been referred to an
oncologist in town to see if he can come up with an answer as to why and
what action to take.


 ML>  , August of 05.  Trouble is, the
 RH> cholesterol count would go up if I pushed red meat.  True, we've had
 RH> more over the last few years but we still eat a lot of poultry and a
 RH> fair amount of seafood.

 ML> Look here -

 ML> Cholesterol:   mgpct (mg/100g)


 ML> Note of course that cholesterol count is not everything, and the total
 ML> fat content is relevant, as is (apparently) the ratio of saturated to
 ML> unsaturated fat, the ratio of good to bad cholesterol, the presence of
 ML> other beneficial fats in fish oil.

Looks like I do pretty well overall. The seafood levels are high but we
may get it once a month or so.  It'll be one thing we'll miss when we
move away from the coast.


 ML> Now pardon me while I go and have a pound of bacon fat for breakfast
 ML> [g].

I'll join you but don't tell Steve. (G)


 ML> Posted by me 10/1996, from Pennington and Church, Food Values of
 ML> Portions Commonly Used, 13/e, 1980

Still valid values I presume.
