It seems to be a bit on the optimistic side, given the state of the NHS. Anyhow, I get 91yrs. Not bad. This does not factor in the risk of budgie attack of course............

by heathen in

friends

recently the rock and roll world declared that robert plant is the all time greatest vocalist .

i think i agree with this but i also think guys like elvis and paul mcartney diserve a place in that catagory .

who else do you think would qualify for mention here?

Fe2O3Girl

I prefer to listen to female vocalists, but I really like Mike Patton from Faith no More. mmmmmmm [:|]

For the ladies - Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Karen Carpenter, Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins), Harriet Wheeler (The Sundays)........there are many genres, it is difficult to compare, impossible to choose on favorite.

Anyone Vegetarian???Need advice...

by LyinEyes in

well i just got my blood work done, it was way over due , it has been three years.

it came back good on the sugar, but bad on cholestoral...... and very , very bad on triglycrides.

my family on dad's side, everyone has trouble with this from a very early age, and all of them have to be on meds even thou they changed diet, lost weight, and exercised.

Your tryglyceride levels will respond fairly quickly to a change in your diet; your cholesterol level will change more slowly. There is a school of thought that blood cholesterol level is affected more by the level of saturated fat in your diet than by dietary cholesterol.

On my one visit to the states a couple of years ago, food appeared to be very clearly labelled with nutritional information - check out levels of saturated fat. You don't have to cut out meat completely to reduce fat. Most cheese is very high in fat, also watch how much butter and oil you use in cooking.

Don't assume that anything is "healthy", check the nutritional information.

Can your doctor refer you to a dietician who can advise you?

JLOB has followed a low fat diet, he might be able to give you some ideas. Also, the WeightWatchers plan uses a points system which is based on counting the kcalories and saturated fat in what you eat. I think they have an online system - check http:/www.weightwatchers.com

My dad has hypertension (high blood pressure) and tends to have high cholesterol. Changing to a low fat diet, reducing salt intake, eating lots of garlic and taking lecithin supplements have helped him.

Good luck!

Simple math question for dum dums

if you travel a distance of 100 miles .

and the first half of the trip you go at 100 mph.

and the second half of the trip you go at 50 mph.

Fe2O3Girl

the total sum of numbers from 1 to 100 which are evenly divisible by two.

I have a suspicion that this requires a different approach, and I have not understood the question, but I am assuming that we are being asked for

2+4+6+8+..........98+100

Using the same approach as the previous problem:

2+100=102, 4+98=102, ............50+52=102

25*102=2550

I have tried it another way and got the same answer, so if I have got it wrong I am going to look very stooopid.

1+2+3........+10=55

11+12+13.......+20= (1+2....+10) + (10*10) = 155

21+22+23......+30= (1+2....+10) + (10*20) = 255

and so on, to

91+92+93.......+100= 955

and 55+155+255.......+955 = 5050

Course, that is in pound sterling, not US dollars. We don't have quarters, see?

Farkels problem 1+2+3+.................+99+100

100+1=101, 99+2=101, ............., 51+50=101

Hence, 50*101=5050

The answer is 5050

It does not take as long to work out as it does to type the explanation.

One question that would make you think....

by Dawn in

no jw's have been to my door for years because they all know where i live - my mom drives by with her "car group" and points out our house, even stops to use the potty or get a pop.

silly - i know, but mom doesn't seem to care about the shunning thing (thank goodness).. anyways - hubby and i have bought a new house and will be moving out of this congregation's area soon.

it's a brand new house in a new area so i'm sure it'll get worked fairly quickly (new blood on the block).
